Chapter 59: Strategic Layout
The previous three games, from "Let's Find Differences" and "Happy Lianliankan" to "Family Members".
All three games don't have high requirements for soundtracks, as long as they have simple sound effects, after all, they are not really masterpieces, at least in Li Fangcheng's heart.
So the previous sound effects were all made simply by the music club in the school, but fortunately, Li Fangcheng knew what the original music was like, so it didn't take long for the simple sound effects to meet Li Fangcheng's requirements.
And now, "Dragon Sword and Sky Sword", which has begun to be produced, is such an SPRPG game, it is not so simple!
A qualified RPG game, in Li Fangcheng's view, will involve a lot of game background music, open the game, select the interface, enter the large map, enter the battle, trigger the plot, contact the characters, successful battle, failed battle, etc.
And that's just the soundtrack, but also the sound effects, walking around, finding objects, mission successes, mission failures, learning skills, and more.
There's so much music to make that can completely bombard a person's head.
If the home of games and animation is in the arcade and living room, then the home of comic songs is on the road, school, company!
A person's leisure time, entertainment time, and even working time are limited, and the time that can be given to ordinary people is less than 16 hours, except for things such as sleeping and eating.
For example, you can listen to music on the road, read comics during breaks, and play games after school or work.
These can see the difference between each link.
So music is a core problem that must be solved!
If the first three can rely on the memory of the game to make simple sound effects, then this one, it must not be!
Therefore, it is very necessary to find a professional music team or composer to be in charge.
And among these famous teams and people in the future, Li Fangcheng was entangled and didn't know which one to choose.
There are almost no teams that are famous now, and some of them are also serving Nintendo and Sega, and it is difficult to poach these teams in terms of the fame of the Miracle Age.
And even if he could, Li Fangcheng didn't dare to take this risk, otherwise after being known, he would be directly blacklisted.
Just kidding, poaching the team of Nintendo and Sega?
As a result, the choice is straightforwardly simpler. Only individuals can be selected.
Personally, this is even more difficult to choose, there are many people who will become famous in the future, but there are some Li Fangcheng who can't remember their names, and some people don't know where they are.
After hesitating for a long time, Li Fangcheng picked up the pen and wrote down seven names, Jean Hisaishi, Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yoko Shimomura, Jun Asaeda, Nobuo Uematsu, Jie Yoshida, and Divine Thinker.
After a few seconds of silence, he crossed out Hisaishi's name again, the current Hisaishi Jean is at his peak, and the ambitious Hisaishi Jean wants to say that he will come to a newly established company, which is simply impossible, for Hisaishi Jean who thinks that he is a master of music, he will not pay too much attention to things other than music at all.
In 1986, Hisaishi served as the music supervisor of Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky" to compose the theme song "With You", and "Castle in the Sky" won numerous awards, and Hisaishi Jean has also become famous since then, and countless film, TV and other soundtrack invitations have come. In 1985, after Hayao Miyazaki founded the "Ghibli" studio, Hisaishi has been serving as the music supervisor of Miyazaki's animation.
Now Hisaishi let, one word, difficult!
And Ryuichi Sakamoto, not much worse, at the beginning Ryuichi Sakamoto also made a combination, but for a few years, he didn't make any names, and then disbanded the group in 1983.
But after flying solo, Ryuichi Sakamoto seemed to have an enlightenment, first starring in Nagisa Oshima's film "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" in a Japanese army commander in an Indonesian prisoner of war camp, Senoi, who starred in a movie for the first time and stepped onto the big screen, and later composed the soundtrack for this film, which was also his first time composing music for a film, in which the theme song "Forbidden Color" sung by David Sylvian caused a certain sensation. The original soundtrack theme song "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" has also been widely circulated and has become one of Ryuichi Sakamoto's most classic works. The film music won the British Academy Film Award.
Just this year, 1987, the music for Bernardo Bertolucci's film The Last Emperor won an Oscar, a Grammy and a Golden Globe.
So such a successful person, Li Fangcheng could only shake his head. Culling again.
And the rest of the people, Li Fangcheng thought about it carefully, there is a lot to do!
Yoshida has just graduated from Berklee College of Music, has just returned to RB, and is still an unemployed vagrant, and now he is probably trying to take some music creation orders. Although Yoshida Jie did not belong to the kind of famous international in the future, his music path has always been full of two words, focus! Many people even call him and Hisaishi the same master composers, and "The Distant Journey of RB People" has become a classic masterpiece.
Similarly, Yoko Shimomura, Jun Asaeda, Nobuo Uematsu, and Divine Thinkers are all famous composers and master-level existences in the future.
Of course, the Divine Thinker is a combination of two people, but this combination has made a classic that makes Chinese people ashamed.
The Forbidden City Trilogy is the soundtrack composed by the Thinkers for the NHK TV documentary, the soundtrack is exquisite, the music is ups and downs, and the rhythm is constantly changing with the ups and downs of the historical narrative, the low percussion music seems to ring the bell of the Yongle Dynasty, and the solemn hall covered by the glazed tiles of the Forbidden City represents the magnificence and splendor of the civilized country they longed for in their hearts. The reverberating notes are like a fantastic magical journey, and like a large-scale epic movie, the ancient and magnificent scenery flutters by, and the picture scroll of the rich civilization is transformed into musical notes to show. And the soundtrack of the first "Forbidden City" is like the overture to this movie, the beginning of this trip is the surprise of the first encounter, and the sigh of speechlessness.
From the playful sigh of "Overture to the Passage of Time" to the majestic atmosphere of "The Divine Thoughts of the Forbidden City", to the melodious aria of "Treasure", they all reflect how powerful the Divine Thinkers are as a world-renowned group.
So, Thinker, the duo will inevitably close their banners, but fortunately, the duo will not be the producer of the NHK TV documentary soundtrack until next year, and it is still too late.
Yoko Shimomura, known as "the world's most famous female video game composer". The next year, in 1988, I graduated from Osaka University of Music. From 1988 to 1993, she worked for Capcom as a video game composer, composing music for all or part of 17 games, including Kombat Whirlwind and Street Fighter II. has not graduated yet, and they are in the same class as Lin Yinger, and the possibility of poaching is even greater.
Jun Ma Zhi is a relatively all-round person.,Still in elementary school.,Script creation.,Game book creation, etc.,Later, if it weren't for the setbacks at the beginning on the road of composition.,And then the achievements may not be lower than the existence of the gods.。 But one of the most embarrassing problems is that he is only 13 years old now!
After hesitating, Li Fangcheng could only smile bitterly and shake his head, drawing two lines under this name, let's take a look.
Nobuo Uematsu ....
This is a representative figure, in December, a masterpiece will be on the stage for the first time, although the first few parts of this work are not famous, but the seventh masterpiece has become a sensation all over the world and has aroused the love of countless people. This masterpiece is the Final Fantasy series, and Nobuo Uematsu is the composer of the entire series, and now works in Square Enix, which is estimated to have made the soundtrack for Final Fantasy 1.
Li Fangcheng has a headache, and he is a difficult person to handle, but he is not without a chance, now he is just starting out, and it is possible to fight for it, but he has to find a way to impress him. And even if there is money in the current miracle era, it must not be able to impress some people, but some people do not look at the current money, and the dormitory values the interests of the back.
To put it bluntly, smart people will choose a platform that can give them huge growth in their careers in the long run, and this kind of platform is generally a large company, such as Nintendo, Sega, which is the top big company.
Wait a minute! Sega? Li Fangcheng's mind flashed an idea, with the help of Sega's reputation, it is not impossible!
The common characteristic of these people selected by Li Fangcheng is that they have not yet become famous! Either they have just debuted, or they are just famous, compared to those who have already become famous, there is no doubt that the opportunity is much greater, and if you add the reputation of a third party to Sega, you can basically impress these people!
After crossing out the names of Jean Hisaishi and Ryuichi Sakamoto, there are five candidates left, one of which is to be determined, Li Fangcheng took a deep breath, the creators of music, as long as there are these people as the founders, and then let these people each be responsible for a team, leading some potential musicians to do it, not to mention anything else, as long as a few years, this team can basically take shape, and then it will be enough to make up for the shortcomings of music.
Li Fangcheng shook his head helplessly, it seems that it is time to set up a subsidiary in Japan, these people are all Japanese, they can only adapt measures to local conditions there, at least in a short period of time, it is impossible to ask people to directly leave their hometowns to work in China. If you say that, I'm afraid that no one will come, so why would anyone want to come to such a barren land as China? Now that China has not yet ushered in an era of great economic development, the game desert is not just for fun.
