Number One Game Designer

"Our game movie "Legend of Survival" is about to be released." Chen Yudao.

"Oh? Who is the protagonist of the movie?" Fang Xi was a little interested.

Unexpectedly, Ernst's movements were not slow at all, and it took less than ten months to make the movie. Excluding the running time of the crew, it can only be said that Ernst is still in stock.

Speaking of the lead actor Chen Yu's rare smile:

"Zhao Jiamo, what you know is the man who plays the male lead in the game. He is also the male lead in the movie."

"Oh?" Fang Xi was a little surprised now.

Generally speaking, the adaptation of a game into a movie is indeed a headache for directors and screenwriters.

If you use the original plot of the game, the audience will not feel fresh, but using the original plot will make the audience feel alienated and unfamiliar. After all, in the final analysis of the game, one of its standing is the plot, so the balance between the original plot and the original plot is the screenwriter. And the writer must guarantee.

"The release time in Huaxia is in early April, and it is all over the world. Because this movie theme has nothing to learn from, for many theaters, they dare not risk the summer vacation to compete for the summer vacation. They can only try it now."

"Have you seen the sample?" Fang Xi smiled.

"We are the sponsor, should we be eligible to watch the samples, right?" Fang Xi asked.

"Yes." Chen Yu nodded. "But you can only go to the filming base in Haifang City to watch, and you have to sign a confidentiality agreement."

"That's fine." Fang Xi shrugged, "I still like to leave a little suspense for myself."

So in mid-April, almost the day when Hongyi went out to build the team and all the teams came back, Hongyi began to watch the film in rotation.

Hongyi’s headquarters has a small screening room, which can only accommodate 50 people. It usually shows random films, so it has always been a place for employees to relax and date couples. And today it’s packed full.

The dim theater with few people is a bit noisy, and most of them are discussing what the plot of this movie will be like. For them, this is an IP produced by their own company, and according to the boss, the box office of this movie is not too bad, so everyone is looking forward to it.

The Hongyi executives who quietly arranged themselves in the last row did not say anything. When Fang Xi decided to let everyone in the company watch this movie, Fang Xi himself said that this movie will definitely not lose money, but if it is If the company has its own film department, the income of the film does not need to be shared with others.

Another meaning, Fang Xi, is that if future games are suitable, they will try to adapt movies to maximize the effect of IP.

So now the audience in the front is paying attention to whether the movie is good or not, while the executives of Hongyi behind are all looking down and contemplating the cinematicization of the game that Fang Xi said.

"Be careful not to set the difficulty of adapting when making games in the future...?"

At this time, the lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the familiar dragon mark appeared on the screen, which made Fang Xi feel a little cordial. The projection hall also became audible, and everyone began to concentrate on watching movies.

Fang Xi said that the zombies in this movie are lacklustre. As someone who has watched hundreds of zombie movies last time out of control, Fang Xi could laugh at all disgusting scenes long ago, so Dao has very little " Fang always felt that the movie "Legend of Survival" was nothing at all.

When Zhao Jiamo's face appeared on the screen for the first time, there was sparse applause in the auditorium.

Zhao Jiamo also said during the promotion of the movie that Hongyi is a very complicated company for him. They gave him a chance to take off and made him play a leading male actor in a big production for the first time, so he gave him a big deal. Hongyi praised him, almost like a rainbow fart. Many Hongyi employees have a very good perception of him: hard work, restraint, and able to take responsibility, and in a sense, all Hongyi employees are well-known step by step. There is a feeling that one's own child is growing up slowly.

The plot that Fang Xi paid attention to was placed in the gap period at the beginning of the game.

The movie "Legend of Survival" is set to have a zombie virus outbreak for a while at the beginning, and then the protagonist wakes up to a devastated city. For the plot between the beginning of the game, narration from other characters is used, and The protagonist’s occasional memory flashed back.

The Ernst movie was placed directly on the eve of the virus outbreak. It focuses on how this virus spreads and destroys normal human life.

According to what Ernst told Fang Xi, he also buried a lot of movie easter eggs in the movie. For example, many famous characters who appeared in the side plots in the later games also have easter eggs foreshadowing in the movie, but this requires the player. Discovered it with the audience.

Fang Xi was bored, but it was thrilling to others. You have to understand that this is a world where you haven't seen a zombie movie, so it's not surprising that the adrenaline soars when the zombie movie makes them scream like this.

Fang Xi left the scene directly after seeing half of it. For him, the success of this movie is already foreseeable, but for him who has long been baptized by zombie culture, this movie is still too tender. Some.

After thinking about it, Fang Xi still found the phone, found Zhao Jiamo's name and dialed it.

The call was quickly connected, and the voice on the other end was still a little restrained: "President Fang, I didn't think you still have my phone."

Fang Xi smiled: "I said I hope you will become an international superstar."

After a greeting, Fang Xi expressed his satisfaction and blessings for "Left to Survive" and hung up the phone.

For Fang Zong, he originally came to express a blessing, but it is not beautiful to say too much.

And during this time, it is not only the business that makes money, but also the business that loses money.

It was the "Mini World" that made Fang Xi's brain hurt.

As Fang Xi thought, all his appeals in California ended in failure.

The legal provisions of the United States are also clear: Now the United States does not recognize "gameplay" as a kind of intellectual property rights. They believe that from the material point of view, "Mini World" only refers to "The Origin of All Things", but there is no plagiarism, so the judgment is Hong Kong. Wing lost the case.

On the other hand, the United States also officially launched an anti-monopoly investigation of Hongyi in the Americas, which made Fang Xi almost want to set the table: You Yankees don’t bring such a game, are you shameless?

On the other hand, Sorrento’s original company has also formally filed for bankruptcy. Although it seems that Fang Xi has won, Fang Xi has even more headaches.

Because Sorrento is officially hiding behind the scenes, Fang Xi can predict his next action: using countless leather bag companies to copy Fang Xi’s games can lie down and make money. After all, Hongyi’s games are basically buyouts. There is a fee, and he is directly free, and then built-in krypton gold will do.

In this way, even if the player who comes in doesn't have any money, he can still sell an advertising fee, and he won't lose money anyway.

The only positive value of this incident is that Europe, the United States and the Asia-Pacific have a reason to laugh at the United States, and those who support the United States can only say "plagiarism in gameplay is not plagiarism"...

But the good thing is that Fang Xi has always mastered Sorrento's whereabouts. This is probably a killer move?
