Li Dongsheng dragged his tired body back home. After eating something, he sat behind his desk, held his head and began to think hard.
He is a creator, and at this moment, he is going through the most difficult and painful period for a creator - the bottleneck period.
The work cannot be published, everything is not going well, the outside world comments that it is a waste of talent, and one has self-doubt.
All this was tormenting him.
And he hasn't found a solution yet.
it's painful.
"……Eh."
I sat holding my head for a while.
Li Dongsheng sighed and slowly let go of his head, knowing that his ostrich state could not help him get out of the predicament.
He stood up, took the book from the shelf, and prepared to read for some inspiration.
But when people are irritable.
I can't stand reading the book.
soon.
After realizing that he couldn't stand it at all, Li Dongsheng dropped the book, hugged his head and sighed.
He is a director.
A well-known director.
But as several of his works ended dismally in recent years, he was about to be driven crazy.
There is no inspiration for a person like him.
It's very scary.
His works failed one after another, investors raised questions, and his studio's financial situation was bleak.
He couldn't afford to fail again.
He really wants to find a book that he is satisfied with, and then make a stunning movie to prove himself again.
But he relied on his connections and searched for well-known screenwriters he knew in the industry, but he couldn't find a good script.
And ordinary notebooks.
He didn't dare to try.
Because if he fails again, he may go bankrupt.
He was full of confidence in the last movie, and he also participated in the investment, but it still ended dismally, which put his own studio into a serious financial crisis. If it happens again, it will be unbearable.
But the problem is that even if he doesn't shoot, he will be finished.
Because the so-called financial crisis is debt.
The last movie he was full of confidence in failed, and all the money he invested was lost, and a large part of it was loaned out by him.
So now he is in a dilemma.
Shooting a new movie, no script, pills.
If you don’t shoot, you will die.
"Do you really want to make bad movies to pay off your debt?"
Li Dongsheng slapped his head hard, feeling a little desperate.
At this time, his cell phone rang.
Li Dongsheng reluctantly cheered up, looked at the caller, it was his brother, and immediately answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Brother, are you still looking for the book?"
"Yes, have you written out the notebook? Come on, show me." Li Dongsheng was shocked.
His younger brother is a screenwriter, and the two of them have collaborated on two films, which have done well at the box office.
This is his life-saving straw.
"No, I didn't write it, but when I was eating, I saw a video of a horror game. I think this adaptation into a movie would be very interesting! Do we want to collaborate again? I will be the screenwriter and you will make it.
, adapting this horror game.”
"...Horror game? Are you kidding me?"
Li Dongsheng was stunned for a moment, then lost his temper.
Somewhat angry.
I want a copy. You told me about a horror game? Are you going to adapt it?
"I'm not joking. Believe me, it's really exciting. The most important thing is that the cost of shooting is not high. Now it's difficult for you to attract investment, right? Trust me once, brother, I'll show it to you. It's true.
very funny."
The younger brother said very seriously.
Then, he sent a video link to Li Dongsheng.
Li Dongsheng hung up the phone, looked at the link sent by his brother, and sighed, feeling helpless and feeling that his brother was just being stupid.
Not interested at all.
He is a game insulator.
There are only a handful of games that I have played since I was a child.
His memory of the game is still at the stage of pixel style games.
So he instinctively thought that his brother was talking about this kind of horror game.
How scary can this be?
What a hell of an adaptation.
Pay royalties to others.
Might as well write it yourself!
However, he has no inspiration for the time being. Although he lacks interest, he feels that his brother is joking with him.
But he finally clicked on the video to kill some time.
What if...you get inspiration after watching it?
With this mentality, Li Dongsheng clicked on the link sent by his brother.
But soon, he was amused by his own thoughts and shook his head slightly.
Web page jump.
The video page appears.
Li Dongsheng clicked play.
Not long after the video was played, Li Dongsheng realized something was wrong.
Now the graphics of the game...has it changed that much?
Li Dongsheng frowned slightly, looking a little surprised at the picture that was comparable to reality.
then.
As the character controlled by Mou Feng began to act, he was even more surprised.
From being casual at the beginning, he gradually became serious.
Finally, he straightened his back and stared at the screen motionless.
soon.
Here comes the first scary point.
The rolling ball and the human head.
The moment the ball turned into a human head.
Li Dongsheng trembled all over and was startled.
But his eyes also suddenly lit up.
Then in the game, every time the protagonist recalled some memories, the scene changed and evolved in an increasingly weird direction, which made him unable to help but lean forward slightly and stare at the screen.
The closet boy crawls on his wife upside down.
As the protagonist remembers more and more memories.
The more frightened you are.
Li Dongsheng swallowed lightly and his palms began to sweat.
And see the end.
I saw the protagonist frantically walking out of the scary house and walking into the city shrouded in fog, and then a real-life scene appeared, where he was sitting in a cell, looking out the window in a daze.
Li Dongsheng swiped directly, stood up from the chair, his face was slightly red, he pointed at the computer screen with an excited look, opened his mouth, and was silent for a long time.
"The game ends here. I have to say that this is really an excellent game. When I played it, I felt like I was watching a horror short film."
"Linmu Studio is very smart. It does not dwell on the length of the game. Instead, it tells a complete story. The puzzle element is included. Although the playing process seems to torture the player, combined with the game plot, it is actually a kind of challenge to men.
Let the Lord punish you.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "These tortures made the male protagonist from a victim at the beginning to a perpetrator who deserved it in the end, which became very tense.
.”
"And the stage chosen by Linmu Studio is also very interesting. It is a house, which greatly ensures that there will be no bugs that affect the atmosphere..."
Mou Feng finally started to evaluate the game.
Li Dongsheng listened to the other party's comments. He didn't understand the game, but he agreed with some of the views.
That's a game-like short film!
The male protagonist went from being a victim at the beginning to becoming a perpetrator who deserved his punishment at the end, which was very exciting!
Really suitable!
very suitable!
This is the book you were looking for!
Li Dongsheng still looked very excited.
He suddenly discovered.
My inspiration seemed to suddenly come back.
Now all he can think about is how to make this game into a movie.
The ideas are endless.
"Copyright...yes, authorized."
Li Dongsheng stood there, inspiration pouring out. Then at a moment, he suddenly thought of something. He suddenly picked up the phone on the table and called the staff of his studio.
"Hey, Director Li? What's wrong so late?"
"You immediately contact a game company called Linmu Studio and talk to them about the licensing issue of the game "Shadow", immediately! Immediately!"
"……ah?"
The employee on the other end of the phone was confused.
game company?
What the hell?
"Don't worry about it. Go quickly. If possible, it's best to make an appointment to meet tomorrow. I'll go with you."
Li Dongsheng said a word, then immediately hung up and called his brother.
The call was answered quickly.
"Hello? Brother, how are you?"
"Awesome, I have decided to make this film! Tomorrow you go with me to meet with the copyright owner. If the other party doesn't agree, you will kneel down! Even if you kneel down! You have to kneel down to get the adaptation rights!"
