Zhu Xiaoce, who had been silent, raised his hand and said: "This... let me express my opinion."
"Brother Huang, the idea you proposed is too idealistic."
"It seems perfect to make a movie using CG for a game, and then show it to make a couple of bucks, but no game company has ever done this."
"Whether it is a game company using game CGs for release, or using ready-made movies as game CGs, there is basically no precedent for this in the world."
"Why? Because it won't work!"
"Movies require us to tell a complete story in more than an hour. The plot must be coherent and the elements must be rich. The same is true for science fiction movies."
"The game CG must be divided into several sections. After one chapter of the plot, one section will be broadcast. It is a fragmented form used to show the most essential part of the game plot."
"And the combat part of the story is shown through gameplay."
"In other words, if we make a good game CG and connect them together to watch a movie, a lot of key information will be missing, leaving moviegoers confused."
"And if we split a movie into CG, it would be too slow, play a level and show a plot, which would make the originally smooth plot fragmented, which would make players feel confused. Most players are waiting to play the game.
If you don’t have the patience to keep watching the plot, you’ll want to skip it after a few minutes.”
"So, we can't have both sides, we have to choose one. If we make a CG-like fragmented and essence plot, then don't expect it to be released; if we make it as a movie and then split it into many parts, then players will
It’s definitely impossible for Bian’s reputation to be good.”
Huang Sibo thought about it carefully, and it seemed that this was indeed the case.
The idea I had just slapped my head on didn't quite work.
Everyone discussed it for a long time, but there still seemed to be no solution to this problem, so they had to look at Mr. Pei to get more tips from Mr. Pei.
Pei Qian was trying hard to suppress his joy at this time.
Very good, you all can answer it quickly!
Since you have discussed all the standard answers, why should I not copy them?
Pei Qian had a plan in mind, thought about it and said: "Plan each chapter's plot according to the game CG method, and shoot it according to the science fiction movie method. It must be completed within the construction period, and the total duration must be more than one and a half hours."
Zhu Xiaoce fainted.
He said so much just now, but Mr. Pei didn’t listen to a word?
Or does Mr. Pei have other plans?
The three of them looked at each other in confusion and wanted to ask again, but seeing Mr. Pei's firm attitude, they had no choice but to write it down silently and go back to figure it out.
Pei Qian continued: "The name of the game is "Mission and Choice", a science fiction theme."
Hu Xianbin almost thought he heard it wrong: "Ah? "Mission and Choice"? That's the one..."
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes, let's find a way to get the copyright of this game. What we will make is its high-definition remake!"
Hu Xianbin was stunned.
"Mission and Choice" is a shame for domestic games, a nightmare for countless old players, and the worst and most failed RTS game in history!
Moreover, its own worldview is a copycat of "Xinghai", with no plot at all, and the art is a mess, with absolutely no redeeming qualities!
When people engage in IP, they always reproduce classics;
When we engage in IP, it turns into picking up garbage?
Or is it toxic, harmful, worthless garbage?
Why bother? Tenda has so many good IPs, why not just grab any and use them? Or simply rewrite a world view, which is better than this!
Pei Qian saw Hu Xianbin's exaggerated expression and was secretly happy, not intending to explain more.
Huang Sibo also frowned.
But after a moment, he suddenly realized something, and his brows instantly widened.
"Ah, Mr. Pei, I understand!"
""Mission and Choice" is a pain in the hearts of all domestic game players. It represents the great trough of domestic stand-alone games and is a shame for domestic stand-alone games."
"Mr. Pei, you chose to remake this game just to wash away this shame and declare that domestic stand-alone games will be reborn and move toward glory!"
"If successful, it will definitely completely change players' impressions of domestic games and give all domestic stand-alone game producers a shot in the arm!"
Hu Xianbin also suddenly realized.
It turns out that Mr. Pei made this game not out of utilitarian considerations, but because it has a strong symbolic meaning!
He couldn't help but show an expression of great admiration.
Sure enough, only a hero like Mr. Pei can accomplish such a great deed!
Pei Qian: "..."
Just let it be what you say, you're used to it.
Pei Qian calmed down and continued: "This game must innovate the traditional RTS game."
Everyone nodded, obviously, Mr. Pei could not stick to the rules.
Although it is the safest choice to carefully refer to successful RTS games such as "Star Ocean 2" and "Fantasy Battle", Mr. Pei is obviously not such a person.
Pei Qian thought about it and then said: "There are only two races in the game, humans and Zerg. As for balance, if you can do it, just make do with it. If you can't do it well, it doesn't matter."
"The operation of the game must be as simple as possible, and it is best to be able to play without APM at all."
"Well... the biggest difficulty does not come from the enemy, but from our own people. Every soldier must have his own thoughts and often disobey the player's commands and orders."
"Real shooting requires hiring actors, but you can only hire one protagonist, and the others can only be supporting roles. You can hire anyone for the leading role. It doesn't matter if you hire a big-name star, but remember not to use facial expressions or acting skills."
"Also, the construction period must be guaranteed and the money must be spent. There are no other requirements."
Pei Qian is confident.
I don’t believe you can still make money like this!
These requirements basically eliminate all the advantages of traditional RTS games.
As He An said, if the current RTS games are like "Star Ocean 2", they can still make money. After all, there are still many die-hard RTS players around the world, and they will still pay as long as there are good games.
By making RTS games simple, there is no way to cater to these old players, and there is no way to compete with games like GoG for new players, and the chance of failure will greatly increase!
In addition, balance is also very important for RTS games.
"Command and Conquer" is not as good as "Star Ocean" and "Fantasy War" in the minds of many players. This is because the balance is not well done and it is difficult to promote as an e-sports project.
Therefore, Pei Qian made an RTS game with poor balance!
There are only two races, humans and Zerg, and they are not balanced at all. The core players of RTS games will definitely not accept it, let alone engage in e-sports projects.
As for the "little soldiers must have their own thoughts", Pei Qian is based on his own personal experience. It's time for the players to feel their own pain!
Imagine that in an RTS game, you command your soldiers to attack the enemy army. Then, when the soldiers see that there are many enemies, they immediately run away.
How refreshing! The players will definitely be pissed off.
As for the actor, this is just in case.
What if this thing is actually released and becomes a hit all over the world, earning hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office?
The possibility is very small, but we have to guard against it.
Therefore, Pei Qian has to ensure that this thing will definitely hit the streets when it is made into a movie.
There is only one protagonist, and absolutely no acting skills can be shown, or even too many expressions.
In this way, the possibility of Lu Zhiyao becoming popular with his acting skills like in "Better Tomorrow" no longer exists.
After hearing what Mr. Pei said, all three of them froze.
These requests from Mr. Pei are all a bit unbelievable!
But after all, everyone had seen the world, so they weren't too shocked and didn't ask too many questions.
They knew very well that Mr. Pei must have created a new mystery.
But the problem is that Mr. Pei’s question this time seems to be extremely rare!
How to explain this?
The name of the game is outrageous, and the mechanics of the game are completely inconsistent with the basic concepts of RTS games. Even a CG is so different.
For those who don’t know, I would think that Pei always wants to wear small shoes for everyone and is deliberately making things difficult for everyone!
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Pei Qian couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Very good. Seeing everyone's expressions, I know that this game is probably done!
Losing 500 million in one go is so exciting just thinking about it!
Pei Qian stood up: "Okay, hurry up and start work!"
…
After arranging work, Pei Qian returned to his residence humming a ditty.
I have taken care of the two biggest problems, Tenda Games and Feihuang Studio, at once, and I feel very good.
But after calming down for a while, Pei Qian felt that he couldn't take it lightly.
Send the plan to Teacher He An and ask Guiding Mingdeng to confirm it again to see if it can be compensated and what the possibility of compensation is.
What if Teacher He can discover doubts that he didn't notice?
Thinking of this, Pei Qian compiled the key points from the meeting and sent them to He An.
"Teacher He, do you think if we do this, how high will the success rate of "Mission and Choice" be?"
Within two minutes, He An responded.
"?"
"???"
Several question marks were sent in succession, followed immediately by a video call.
"Mr. Pei, are you really going to do this?" As soon as the video call was connected, He An asked with a face full of anger.
Pei Qian nodded: "Yes."
He An looked shocked: "That's 500 million!"
Pei Qian couldn't help but feel happy: "Yes, five hundred million!"
He An at the other end of the video couldn't help but fell silent. He carefully observed Mr. Pei's expression, but still couldn't guess what Mr. Pei was really thinking.
"If it were any other game company, I would definitely pay in advance."
"The standard answer for "Star Ocean 2" is right here, but it turned out that I couldn't copy it, and even made all the possible mistakes. The 500 million yuan must have been wasted and all my money was lost."
He An paused and then said: "But..."
"Mr. Pei, you must have already thought about what to do and deliberately released only one-sided news to confuse me, right?"
"Are you showing off your skills again?"
"When the game becomes successful, I will be shocked by you and subvert many basic theories of game design."
"Is that what you think?"
Pei Qian: "..."
It was broken, and Teacher He couldn’t stop thinking about it.
Pei Qian asked tentatively: "Teacher He, so do you think how this game will make money?"
He An said with a straight face: "You are awesome! I can't guess it, okay!"
Pei Qian is a little speechless. You see, why are you angry when you are chatting happily?
Okay, since Teacher He can't guess any possibility of profit, don't worry.
"Okay, then thank you Teacher He for your guidance. I will definitely treat you to dinner after the game is launched!"
