034. The Romance of Every Man

"Xianxia?" Chen Tao was a little puzzled, and said in an uncertain tone: "What do you mean by immortals, Pangu Kaitian, Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and the like?"

Hawke nodded, then shook his head.

This world has not experienced the Republic of China period, and there is no enlightenment of "The Legend of Shushan Swordsman", and naturally there is no development of Xianxia culture after that.

In contrast, the birth of martial arts in this world can be called a coincidence.

Xianxia, that is the romance of every man.

"It's related to ancient mythology, but it's not exactly the same. Hawke organized the language and said, "Uncle Chen has ever imagined the characters in the martial arts world, when they are endowed with the color of ancient mythology, a sword and a sword can disconnect the mountains and rivers, and the mind can fly away from the sky and the earth, in the world of Xianxia, there are not only people, but also immortals, gods, demons, and demons." ”

"The demon you mentioned refers to a creature similar to the myth of the "Classic of Mountains and Seas"?" Chen Tao knows a lot about this knowledge, "If so, there have been similar games and film and television works, and these games involving mythological themes often have a huge world view and high investment capital, and our company's current strength is not enough to develop it, let alone a small company." ”

"Uncle Chen, you may have misunderstood what I said. Hawke explained, "Xianxia is more inclined to Taoist culture, which contradicts the Mohist culture of martial arts, but if put together, it can produce an extremely attractive effect." ”

Hawke also took out a few concept drawings from his backpack and showed them to Chen Tao.

He doesn't know how to draw, and he hasn't bothered his cousin a lot in the past few days of the Chinese New Year.

is also because the two have known each other for a long time, Chen Tao listened to Hawke for almost half an hour.

"What you said is really interesting, such as the setting of the Six Realms of Xianxia. Chen Tao unconsciously put down the teacup, "Although these black and white drawings are not particularly clear, I can feel that the system you mentioned is suitable for game adaptation, and the Dao methods and moves mentioned are also relatively novel." ”

"Well, for example, the current martial arts game design is mostly based on complicated martial arts and smooth fighting pictures as selling points, and everyone will feel the same after a long time, but if the characters in the game at this time are not using swordsmanship, but the flying of the sword, it can give people a bright feeling. ”

Chen Tao nodded in agreement, and then tapped his index finger on the table from time to time, falling into thought.

Hawke was not in a hurry and waited patiently on the sidelines.

"I think it's okay to try, but you have to consider the size of the worldview and the cost. After thinking about it, Chen Tao said, "It is impossible for the company to directly establish a project because of your remarks, which is not responsible for the entire team, and most of the funds are now invested in the research and development and promotion of "The Legend of Swords and Heroes 2". ”

"If Xiao Huo wants to get investment from me, you must have a complete plan book, and the characters, plot, and scene design are all essential. ”

The concept of Xianxia obviously attracted Chen Tao's attention.

However, Chen Tao seems to have overestimated Hawke's target.

"Uncle Chen, you misunderstood me, I also know that my current strength can't do big projects, so I thought about whether I could cooperate with a small company and make a turn-based Xianxia game. ”

Afraid that Chen Tao would continue to think about the big picture, Hawke continued to add: "The game will not include all the six worlds of Xianxia, but only slightly, and the main plot is still focused on a few small characters. ”

"Your idea is similar to those low-budget martial arts games. Chen Tao asked, "But martial arts games embody chivalrous thoughts, how can your Xianxia games show what you just did in such a short space? If you don't order something new, customers won't buy it." ”

"Heavy love!" Hawke said firmly, "just like the kind of children's love in martial arts games, as long as the love is highlighted, there will be no customers." ”

"How do I feel that you are not doing a fairy, but a romance game with a fairy mantle?"

Chen Tao said in one word.

"After all, it's just an attempt, and it's not very ambitious. "I just wanted to add some new elements to the old-fashioned game plot to see if the market would accept the concept of Xianxia." ”

"If that's the case, that's perfectly fine, I can contact a couple of startup studios for you to pick from. Chen Tao said with a smile, "You come up with the concept, we are responsible for publishing, and they are responsible for making games, so that if you make a profit in the future, you will not get less." ”

This is the legendary technology stake?

Uh, how can there be a sense of profiteer.

"So have you figured out the plot of the game? Can you tell me about it and help you refer to it now. ”

Hawke nodded.

Which game to make?

In fact, Hawke thought about it during the New Year, and there were two lingering figures in the hearts of his generation, or the young people of the earth who were older than him.

A little cinnabar mole, a touch of white moonlight.

The elegant and holy fairy on Xianling Island, the heroine who dares to love and hate in Lin Jiabao, Zhao Ling'er and Lin Yueru are the indelible memories of their generation.

The song "Butterfly Love" is sad and tactful, and the world is poignant.

There are also two women, one with hand-twisted green silk and the other with a slow-twisted gonghou.

The story of the tomb robbing clan who is rigid on the outside and soft on the inside, the story of the outer soft and inner dream tapir raised by the official family, Han Lingsha and Liu Mengli is also sad and regrettable.

The song "Back to the Sleepwalking Fairy" resonates with the heart, telling the vicissitudes of fate.

It's all feelings.

Therefore, such a classic game Hawk is certainly not going to be hasty to take out the ticket to play.

In case of failure, he feels distressed and sorry for his conscience!

In fact, Hawke has been thinking about the possibility of adapting the IP of Xianxia Games to TV or movies for a long time.

With his current resources, if he doesn't have a lot of luck, it may be extremely difficult to gain a firm foothold in the TV circle or even become the protagonist.

If you want to play the leading role first, you have to play the supporting role first.

As a result, even the audience thinks that this person is only suitable for playing a supporting role, and there is no possibility of moving forward.

But if he is a creator of a popular IP, then he has the capital to negotiate.

Hawke will not be naΓ―ve to think that he will throw out a script with a bang, and then make a splash that the director and screenwriter think is a masterpiece, and then shoot it in two or three months and broadcast it with explosive ratings.

Any excellent work needs time to precipitate.

Hawke wanted to have a long-term cooperation with Chen Tao, which could be as short as three years or as long as five years.

In addition, he knows that in addition to factors such as scripts, special effects, and music, the biggest difficulty in adapting games to film and television lies in the restoration of the characters, which directly affects the support of fans.

Holding the rights to these games is just one of the important weights for him to participate in the competition for the protagonist.

So when designing the image of the male protagonist, Hawke will definitely refer to his own appearance.

If everything goes well, when the roles of Li Xiaoyao and Yun Tianhe are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people a few years later, and the news of film and television adaptations comes, fans will definitely list the actors of the right age one by one.

And every move of these classic characters, between the eyebrows and eyes is his shadow.

At this time, attach your own makeup trial photos, that is God restoration!

Of course, all this is just a beautiful fantasy, and there is not a single word.

And since this is his first cooperation with Chen Tao, Hawke, who doesn't know the roots, doesn't want to show his hole cards directly.

The cooperation is pleasant, so let's continue to talk about the follow-up, if it doesn't work, Hawke will find another way.

"Uncle Chen, the game I came up with is called "Seeking Immortals and Demon Sword"" Hawke took out the plot synopsis he wrote from his backpack and said, "It mainly tells the story between a man named Wang Xiaohu and two women, and the theme is forgiveness. ”

"Wang Xiaohu?" Chen Tao was a little speechless, "I suggest you change your name, this is not good." ”

Speak and kneel.

More on that later.

Hawke plans to use the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 2" to test the waters, test his compatibility with the team, and also see how the world reacts to Xianxia games.

As for the picture quality, just refer to "Fairy Sword One" back then, it's cheap.

To be honest, "Sword and Fairy 2" is not so unbearable, and its tragedy comes from many sources.

The previous work is too classic, fried cold rice, contradictions in the main creative team, and so on.

When Sword and Fairy fans waited for eight years, but they were greeted by a mediocre "Sword and Fairy 2", the gap between reality and ideals directly led to the collapse of word-of-mouth.

The key is a protagonist with a knife, and you told me that this is a fairy sword?

Hehe.

Since the protagonist has nothing to do with the use of swords, it is natural that he can't use the name of "Fairy Sword", so it's better to call it "Magic Knife" directly.
