"Didn't you realize anything?"
"Don't be impatient, speak slowly, tell us your mental journey in detail, don't miss any details."
Zhu Xiaoce and Lu Zhiyao came to the room and sat down on the sofa in the living room of the suite.
Lu Zhiyao took the half-drunk Coke from the table, took a sip, and began to spit out the bitter water to Zhu Xiaoce.
"Director Zhu, I don't know if your method is not easy to use, or if I haven't grasped the essence. In short, I haven't figured out anything."
"You said you wanted me to use it. Every unit here is imagined as a living person."
"I kept reminding myself of this. It was okay at the beginning. I deliberately let all the soldiers with residual health hide behind, and no one died."
“But when you get to the back, one of you will die if you don’t pay attention, and one of you will die if you don’t pay attention...”
“Later I discovered that the more I wanted to treat all of these people as real people, , the more I can’t do it!”
“Because if I keep stressing to myself that they are living people, I won’t be able to concentrate on thinking rationally and deal with the current battle.”
"The more entangled we are, the more people will die."
"So until the end, the battle becomes more and more difficult, and I can't save these people's lives at all."
< p>"Even though I repeatedly lied to myself that these were real people, my subconscious mind was very resistant and kept denying this, so I simply couldn't think like you said..."< p>"In the end, I was confused and confused. Even if many people died, I felt indifferent. Everything was back to where it started.""In short, I gained nothing."
Lu Zhiyao finished vomiting and looked at Zhu Xiaoce.
He originally expected to see an expression of disappointment or comfort on Zhu Xiaoce's face, but he didn't expect that Zhu Xiaoce raised his hand to signal him to stop talking and lower his head to think seriously.
Lu Zhiyao was stunned.
What does it mean? Could it be that Director Zhu really found some inspiration from my words?
Are all directors so good at making up their minds?
Zhu Xiaoce frowned, feeling as if he had caught something, but it was a little unreal.
Mr. Pei requires the soldiers in the game to have their own ideas. Combined with the method of "breaking the dimensional wall", it is natural to think of the idea that "the soldiers in the game are actually real people".
But this idea has already been used by others. If you want to come up with new ideas, you must dig deeper into this idea and come up with new ideas.
Although Lu Zhiyao’s mental journey cannot be directly used in the plot, it also provides some ideas that have not been thought of before.
For example:
Caring too much about whether these units are real people will affect your rational judgment. Not treating them as human beings can reduce sacrifices, which seems a bit ironic;
< p>Because games are a special carrier, during the process of playing games, the subconscious willResist and deny the idea that "the characters in the game are all real people";When too many people die, life becomes a number, and the highest commander will only fall into numbness and despair
But is it right to treat people completely as numbers? It seems that more problems will arise...
Moreover, Lu Zhiyao is playing "Star Ocean 2", not "Destiny and Choice".
Imagine, if it is "Destiny and Choice", every soldier will have his own ideas, and the gap between humans and Zerg is even greater...
Many ideas collide quickly, Zhu Xiaoce suddenly felt inspired!
He quickly said: "Let me use the computer!"
Lu Zhiyao stood up quickly: "Okay."
Zhu Xiaoce quit "Star Ocean 2", I immediately created a new document and started typing on the keyboard quickly.
Lu Zhiyao stood behind curiously. After watching for half a minute, he said with some confusion: "Director Zhu, are you...writing the outline of the story from scratch?"
Zhu Xiaoce said quickly: "Of course not! I have hundreds of thousands of words of scripts on my office computer. This is just to briefly record the inspiration I just had."
"Don't interrupt my train of thought, and don't Look, I can't write it if you look at it. "Sit aside."
Pushing Lu Zhiyao away, Zhu Xiaoce continued to type furiously on the keyboard, recording all the ideas in his mind.
Lu Zhiyao was suspicious, but he was too embarrassed to look again, so he could only wait aside with scratches in his heart.
Zhu Xiaoce wrote very quickly, constantly adding and deleting.
"Mr. Pei said that there is only one protagonist, Lu Zhiyao."
"Either there are no opponents and all are one-man shows, which means that the protagonist must have many roles Only by changing the mentality can the length of the entire movie be sustained."
"Now...it's five times, which is not enough."
"Well...it might also be a rival scene. , but the opponent is not an actor."
"Artificial intelligence?"
"Well, if you want to break the dimensional wall, the protagonist must have artificial intelligence to control the fleet through the game. Help. Similarly, if the game itself wants to simplify the operation, it must also need some AI help.”
“Since there is artificial intelligence in the movie, there must be a rivalry with the protagonist. After intervention, the protagonist's mentality can change many times."
"Nine times."
"The protagonist's mentality changes nine times, each time making the story move forward. Push it forward, get closer to the final truth."
"And don't forget that the protagonist is a determined space warrior, so he won't have too many expressions, so he must try to present a contradiction: ”
“The plot was completely unexpected by the audience and brought strong plot tension. However, the protagonist was always strong, calm, and rational, and did not have any emotional fluctuations until the end.And every emotional change must be expressed with very subtle expressions..."
"There is only one protagonist, so this protagonist must impress the audience. ”
“Tell a story well and create a protagonist. In Mr. Pei's opinion, this should be enough. ”
Zhu Xiaoce wrote about five hundred words, then checked it over and nodded with satisfaction.
This is the most essential story outline, but if you want to write it into a script, you still need After repeatedly adjusting and refining,
Thinking of this, Zhu Xiaoce put the game notebook away and took it away: "Okay, actor, your work is done, I am very inspired! I went back and made up for the little bits and pieces of the script, and then we were ready to start filming immediately! "
Lu Zhiyao asked with some uncertainty: "Director Zhu, are you sure the script is only a little bit off? ”
Zhu Xiaoce chuckled: “Originally it was a lot worse, but now it’s not so bad!” Get some rest, shave your beard, and I'll send you the script for the first part soon. "
Lu Zhiyao was stunned for a moment: "Do you still want to give me the script in batches? "
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: "Of course, to help you better adapt to the role. I'm leaving first! ”
After Zhu Xiaoce finished speaking, he turned around and left.
Lu Zhiyao scratched his head in confusion.
I felt that what he said really impressed Director Zhu Xiaoce. Very inspiring.
But I still can’t figure out what this script will look like...
...
Zhu Xiaoce returned to work in Feihuang. He called Huang Sibo and the screenwriters together for a short meeting.
“What do you think of my idea? If possible, we will start work immediately and seize the time to complete the script. "
"While writing the script, the preliminary preparations can also be started. "
The screenwriters all showed surprised expressions: "Awesome, Director Zhu! This story is not only well integrated with the game content, but the character's personality is also very prominent, and the story development is also very unexpected..."
Huang Sibo also nodded frequently: "Very good! Moreover, the content of the movie fits the game so well that I already have an idea about how to make the game! "
Only one screenwriter frowned slightly: "But, Director Zhu, I think this ending is a bit forced to reverse and not natural enough. "
"Of course, there seems to be nothing wrong with filming like this, but some viewers may not be able to accept it. ”
“Can you think of a way to lay some foreshadowing and give a hint? "
Zhu Xiaoce was silent for a moment, then nodded after thinking carefully: "Well, maybe I feel a little like this. But...the previous content is already very complicated and cannot be filled with this foreshadowing. "
"What's more, if the hint is too obvious, the audience may guess it directly, which may cause all the buried puzzles to collapse. ”
"Or..."
"You can lay a little foreshadowing outside the movie and deliberately induce everyone to misunderstand, but when the mystery is revealed at the end of the movie, everyone will feel that this is unexpected and reasonable. ”
Huang Sibo thought for a while: “That’s okay! Yangyang Games is making DLC for Tenda’s original game. I went to them to help make a related DLC. It can not only set up a foreshadowing, but also provide Let’s warm up the new game in advance!”
Zhu Xiaoce nodded: “Okay, then everyone will perfect the script according to the story outline I just gave. Be more efficient in these two days and hurry up to complete the script! ”
The screenwriters nodded and went to work with full motivation.
Zhu Xiaoce called Shangyang Games and explained his intentions to Wang Xiaobin.
Wang Xiaobin on the other end of the phone was silent for a moment: "If it is a science fiction theme... there is really no suitable game. How about doing it in "Sea Fortress"?"
"We can create an independent plot for "Sea Fortress" and redo everything from the protagonist to the monsters."
Zhu Xiaoce was very happy: "Okay, FPS games are more suitable. Because FPS games are from a first-person perspective , the sense of immersion is stronger, and it is easier for players to understand what I want to express."
"Moreover, "Sea Fortress" has a large player base, and the publicity effect will be better."
"I just don't know if it will have an impact on your original development plan?"
Wang Xiaobin: "No, actually I haven't decided what to do yet. If you have Of course I am willing to use a better solution. Moreover, Tenda Games is developing "Destiny and Choice", and I can use many art resources directly, so the workload is not that big."
< p>Zhu Xiaoce was very happy: "Okay, then I will send you the summary of the story soon, and let's make it the DLC of "Sea Fortress"!"
