Chapter 530 Teacher He, you are really my guiding light!
After reading this post, Pei Qian fell into a long silence.
Is this okay?
If "Better Tomorrow" had won the Palme d'Or, I would have tolerated this analysis.
Now that I haven't won the Palme d'Or, I would rather put this analysis aside and come to the conclusion: I can win it, but it's not necessary?
Even a passerby like me can’t stand it!
What this post says between the lines is nothing more than one meaning: "Better Tomorrow" is fully capable of winning the Palme d'Or, but it just missed out because of some special factors!
I have to say that this kind of bragging seems to work better than actually winning the Palme d'Or.
You can tell this from the comment section of the post.
"That's it! Thanks for the popular science!"
"No wonder, there are so many doorways."
"Indeed, the domestic audience will be particularly able to understand the Easter egg at the end, which completely elevates the concept of the entire film. But in the eyes of foreign audiences, especially in the eyes of the jury, this will definitely make people very uncomfortable.
uncomfortable."
"Perhaps the jury felt that this last Easter egg completely destroyed the artistry of the film."
"Well, I can't say much, I understand everything I know."
"But under so many unfavorable conditions, "Better Tomorrow" still won the Jury Prize. Doesn't it further prove how well the film was made?"
"What a pity. I should have known better to cut out the second easter egg at the end of the film before sending it away!"
"On the contrary, I think the creative team may have been aware of this problem but did not act on it."
"Why? Can't you get away with the prize?"
Everyone was talking about it, and another big film critic who had read countless films spoke up.
"I also think that the creative team should have done it on purpose. This is actually not difficult to understand."
"First of all, the creative team must know very well what this movie wants to express, and also the meaning of the easter egg of throwing a gun. Otherwise, why would they make it?"
"If they know the meaning of this easter egg very well, they also know that this scene may not be accepted by the jury."
"It would have been easy to cut out the Easter egg, but they still didn't do it."
"I think there are two reasons."
"First, they know that Cannes prefers premiere films, so they never thought that they would win the award, let alone have the opportunity to compete for the Palme d'Or. They just went there with the mentality of soy sauce, and there was no need to please the jury.
"
"Second, they may be aware of this, but they insist on expressing their thoughts completely in the movie."
"If the last Easter egg is deleted, the movie is equivalent to missing something. Maybe the creative team is so stubborn in wanting to keep the film intact that they are unwilling to delete even a seemingly insignificant Easter egg.
"
After reading this big man’s analysis, everyone suddenly understood.
I see!
That’s right, if film critics can analyze something, how can the creator not understand it?
But they still went to the screening of the complete version without hesitation, which was equivalent to competing on someone else's territory and under their rules, and then they didn't cater to the judges, relying solely on hard power to win second place.
Is this... the pride of an artist?
Netizens couldn't help but sigh, indeed, since ancient times, heroes have emerged from youth!
Those old artists in the film industry are certainly respectable, but there are also many old filmmakers who, in order to win awards at international film festivals, take the initiative to cater to the tastes of the jury, giving up part of their own expression to a certain extent.
This is not only the tragedy of some filmmakers, but also the tragedy of the entire domestic film industry.
But the entire creative team of Feihuang Studio, from directors to screenwriters, are all from the younger generation.
This feeling is like a young chivalrous man who, with his arrogance, takes the sword he has honed with great concentration to participate in the sword competition at the top of the martial arts world. He still insists on himself and uses force even though he knows how to please the judges.
Strength conquered everyone.
At this time, is there any difference between winning first place or second place?
Although they did not win the Palme d'Or, the significance that the creative team brought to the domestic film industry is far greater than a Palme d'Or!
This post once again caused a stir and sparked heated discussions!
Then for some reason, someone posted the ratings on major websites.
"Yesterday, the movie database score from the Internet came out, 8.2. Some people may think that this score is not high, but judging from the scores on this website, there are very few movies with a score of 9 in the entire film history, 8.2
points, it has successfully entered the top 250 of the database!"
"If we look at this score in terms of percentages, we would have to pull out some domestic websites to criticize them."
"I still remember that the rating of "A Better Tomorrow" on many websites fell below 8.5 points. It is especially funny in an environment where a good domestic movie can easily get 9.5 points or above."
"As you can see, the score on the tpdb website has been hovering around 9.1 from beginning to end. Although there are slight fluctuations, it is always as stable as an old dog!"
"I think low scores do not mean strictness, and you don't have to keep looking at the scores on foreign websites. After all, "Better Tomorrow" was created by Chinese people, and some of the content it wants to express can only be understood by Chinese people."
"I hope this movie can make a good start, so that domestic films do not have to flatter international film festivals, but can focus on telling the stories of the Chinese people!"
"I hereby appeal to everyone to register an account on the tpdb website, and then go to Ellie Island to play "Better Tomorrow" again, so that we can remember this great and memorable day!!"
…
After reading the comments from netizens, Pei Qian silently closed the webpage.
Okay, that's it, give up resistance.
Pei Qian found that these netizens were getting more and more outrageous, and they always came up with new tricks every once in a while.
And I never expected that the final topic would be directed to the tpdb website and the online version of "Better Tomorrow".
I don’t know how many people will go to Ellie Island to buy "Better Tomorrow" this time, and I don’t know how many people will add "One hundred million times more" and "Treasure of the town" to the vast barrage at the beginning of the movie.
, "World Line Convergence" and the like.
Pei Qian seems to have seen the scene when he meets Zhu Xiaoce next time.
He would definitely have excitement written all over his face, and he would rush over and say to himself: "Mr. Pei! Your decision to sign a share-sharing contract with Ellie Island is truly a wise and correct decision!"
Just think about it, it's an extremely depressing scene.
It’s really... depressing...
…
…
Thursday, May 26th.
In a cafe near Handong University, He An's second lecture on "Ma Yang" officially began.
In the past two days, Pei Qian didn't sleep very well because of the troubles caused by "Better Tomorrow".
However, in order to ensure the learning effect of today's course, Pei Qian went to bed early yesterday and slept until he woke up naturally today, allowing his battered spirit to recover.
Before the lecture, Pei Qian glanced at the title of this class's textbook with a very naughty look.
"Lesson 2 of Successful Case Study: Use foresight to grasp the development trend of the industry!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but be very happy.
Finally, we no longer talk about Tengda’s case!
The content I talked about last time was actually quite good. It mainly talked about how a game, from production to promotion, is actually an unbreakable whole. Only by choosing the corresponding promotion method according to the game type can the best effect be achieved.
The only flaw is that too many positive cases of Tenda game promotion were mentioned, which made Pei Qian feel like his wounds were being rubbed with salt.
However, there are still gains, and Pei Qian plans to use the knowledge he learned when "Struggle" is released.
False propaganda is unlikely and the system does not allow it, but at least it can be misplaced propaganda.
Sometimes, telling part of the truth can have better results than telling lies.
In short, the last course was very helpful and instructive, and the tuition was not in vain.
But this course seems to be more reliable.
Grasp the development trend of the industry? It sounds like it is full of useful information!
He An took a sip of coffee and said calmly: "The content taught in the last class can be regarded as the foundation of the foundation. It is to establish the basic concept of game design and clearly define its type. Every step after that is strictly
Follow the relevant rules.”
"What we are going to talk about today is also the basics, but it is a level higher than the previous basic content. In short, there are so many game types now, which one should you choose?"
"Choosing the right type is actually half the battle."
"Here I want to give an example..."
Pei Qian's mood suddenly became tense. Could it be another example of Tengda?
Let me go, Qiuqiu!
He An paused for a moment and said, "mm."
Pei Qian let out a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tenda has never done mm, which is great!
Looks like I won’t have to be flogged today!
The waist straightened up a bit in an instant.
He An did not notice the rich inner drama of "Ma Yang" and continued: "MM has been considered the ultimate form of the game for a long time in the past. There is sufficient theoretical support for this, because this large-scale multiplayer
Human role-playing online games can build a virtual world for players, provide rich enough content, and are highly scalable."
"Many gamers have thought about a question: What game can beat "Fantasy World"? At that time, everyone came to the conclusion that if they want to beat "Fantasy World", they can only rely on another better mm.
game."
"However……"
"The latest trends in the game industry have proven that this view is wrong, because MM games that have the hope of beating "Fantasy World" have never appeared, but the type of games that have the hope of beating "Fantasy World" has appeared."
"That's right, that's the battle games that are very popular in China and even around the world, gog and ioi!"
Pei Qian: "..."
There is no love in life.
It turns out that mm was just an introduction, but I finally came back to this topic!
He An noticed something unusual about "Ma Yang" and asked with some surprise: "Mr. Ma, is there any problem?"
Pei Qian forced a smile: "No, it's nothing. Does this have anything to do with today's class?"
He An nodded: "Of course it does matter! I have emphasized that choosing the right genre is half the battle. Top game producers cannot defeat "Fantasy World" with a new mm, but they can use one
Create a new game type to defeat mm!"
"Apparently, that's a keen sense of smell!"
"Think about it, if other first-class game producers are still struggling with MM, you are keenly observing the huge prospects of ioi, one step ahead, establishing advantages, and seizing the market... just like a butterfly flapping its wings.
, it seemed like it was just one step away, but in the end it turned out to be a world of difference!"
"Tengda invested in ioi before other game manufacturers, and then developed gog by itself. It is obviously like a butterfly trying to flap its wings. Mr. Ma, as a senior executive of Tenda's investment department, your understanding of this aspect should be better than
Am I more profound?"
He An had a smile on his face, as if he felt that Mr. Ma's personal experience should give him more inspiration and a better understanding of the course knowledge.
Pei Qian was speechless.
At the same time, he also fell into entanglement.
How should I tell Mr. He that in fact, this project was invested by Ma Yang, and I am not the real Ma Yang, and even if it is the real Ma Yang, he did not invest in this project because of his keen sense of smell, but just on a whim.
…
Forget it, just smoothing out this relationship is enough to give people a headache, and most of them can't be explained.
Pei Qian could only nod silently, agreeing with what He An said, and took the opportunity to ask questions and change the topic.
"So Teacher He, according to this theory, does it mean that if you choose a game type that is declining, you are almost destined to fail?"
He An thought for a while: "There are no absolutes in this world."
"Many retro game types, even mosaic-style games, can still be favored by many players as long as the content is rich enough and the gameplay is novel enough. After all, there are too many players in the world. As long as you find the right target player group,
A game project can be well supported by a small group of players."
"But...the theory you mentioned is not problematic in itself."
"The more a game type is declining, the smaller the player base that likes the game is. If the investment in the game itself happens to be very huge at this time, it will greatly increase the risk of failure."
"There is even a high possibility that you will lose everything."
Hearing this, Pei Qian couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Very good, the number of strange money-losing ideas has increased!
Pei Qian asked: "Teacher He, suppose that I want to spend a huge amount of money to make a real-time strategy game at this point in time... What will happen?"
He An smiled slightly: "Then why don't you give me the money, at least I will say thank you. Or it's not bad to use the money to squander it, at least you can still hear it."
A smile appeared on Pei Qian's face.
Who said this course is useless?
The game to be developed in the next cycle, isn’t this a worthy one?
