After temporarily locking the Z-axis, except for Director Li who continued to be busy finding and solving the ground collision detection problem, the other planners and programs of the Holy Grail Studio basically returned to their normal work schedules and sprinted towards the alpha version of the review. Not only did www.biquge.info extend working hours until after 9 p.m., but it was also common for them to be busy until 11 or 2 p.m. due to temporary emergencies, but it also announced that they would have to work overtime at the company on Saturdays until the end of the alpha version.

Of course, as before, the Fine Arts Department and the Administration Department are exceptions to enjoy the normal commute.

On this day, Xu Zhuce suddenly asked Ling Xingning, Liu Kewei, She Jinshan and Duan Shanshan to go to the conference room for a meeting. The theme is to review the problem of the main plot of the game.,It's not that I deliberately want to exclude Cao Gong.,But the work of the system team and the intersection of the plot are really very little.。

"I ran our mission process again yesterday, and some of the feelings are getting stronger and stronger, how to say it......" Xu Zhuce held the teacup and stared at Duan Shanshan who was sitting opposite and looking down at the record book with a smile, "I think our game plot is not a little too reserved, it's not that Duan Shanshan's story is not well written, it's just a little far away from the direction that most players like, not down-to-earth enough, what do you say?"

Xu Zhuce turned his head to look at Ling Xingning and motioned for him to come and speak with his gaze.

Is it finally time for his knife to be unsheathed? Ling Xingning sighed silently, on one side was the only boss in the entire Holy Grail Studio who could say that he could "support" him, and on the other side there was a colleague he called a subordinate who was actually a competitor, and he didn't have to think about it to know which side to stand on.

"I basically agree with what Xu Zhuce said," Ling Xingning lifted the frame of his glasses and said, "Actually, I often read novels on some websites, and the readership of these novels should be relatively close to the preferences and tastes of our game's player base. Today's young people are accustomed to fast-food cultural products because of their fast-paced life, and most of them are seeking experiences such as 'exciting' and 'cool'. In contrast, the plot of our game is too sunny and snowy, not bloody enough and cliché enough to attract their attention. ”

On the other side of them, Duan Shanshan still looked down at his notebook, but his face was slowly flushing. She Jinshan, who was sitting next to him, twisted his body uneasily, changed his sitting position, and happened to be seen by Xu Zhuce, so he opened his mouth and said, "She Jinshan, do you have anything to say?"

"No, no, I don't read novels much, I don't play games much, and I don't usually pay much attention to the story of games. She Jinshan smiled innocently and honestly avoided this topic that he was not good at.

"What about Liu Kewei?" Xu Zhuce smiled and turned his gaze to the other person beside She Jinshan, "It doesn't matter what comes to mind, you can tell me how you feel about the plot when you play the game." ”

If in the planning department, Xu Zhuce and Ling Xingning are on one side, then Liu Kewei, Duan Shanshan, Cao Gong and She Jinshan are obviously on the other side, and Liu Kewei is also faintly the opinion leader on this side. Although he is far inferior to Duan Shanshan in terms of age, he is several years younger than Cao Gong, and he is barely older than She Jinshan, but in the face of Xu Zhuce's suppression, he is often the only one who can occasionally argue for a few words.

No one expected that after hesitating for a while, what he said would be like this.

"I also support Xu Zhuce's opinion, our plot can't be said to be bad, but it is indeed unattractive to most players, the world view and chronicle designed by Uncle Duan are very majestic, but when it comes to the details of the story, there may be some people who can't let go of their figures, and they don't deliberately cater to the player's orientation. ”

She Jinshan's eyes widened in disbelief and looked at Liu Kewei in a daze, what kind of trouble are you going to make? Could it be that Xu Zhuce secretly "co-opted" it, why would he so rashly echo the opinions put forward by others?

Even Duan Shanshan couldn't help but raise his head in surprise and glanced at Liu Kewei.

Liu Kewei pursed his lips, coughed and continued: " Of course, I want to add that Uncle Duan's plot must also have his own advantages, first of all, the grasp of the three views is very solid, and there are no sensitive issues that are easy to cause controversy, which will reduce a lot of pressure on our project in the approval process of the Ministry of Culture; secondly, the direction of the plot is reasonable but unexpected, and it is not far-fetched; in addition, the characters of most of the plot characters are portrayed very real and plump, there are no absolute good people and no outright bad people, and all contradictions and disputes are because of the conflict of values. These advantages may not be able to be achieved by others, and the only fly in the ointment is that the selling point is not enough to cater to the market. ”

This seemingly "want to cover" nature of the explanation failed to completely relieve the criticized Duan Shanshan, and even Lao Liu's guy thought that the selling point of the game's plot was not enough? The self-confidence he had accumulated in the field of words over the years seemed to have instantly turned into a clay palace built by the naughty boys on the beach, and it was wiped out without a trace after being rolled up by the tide.

Xu Zhuce showed a rare knowing smile, and he didn't quite understand why Liu Kewei suddenly echoed his point of view at the meeting today, but it didn't matter to him, the important thing was that he just took the opportunity to implement the second step of his plan to add sand to the planning department......

"Since everyone feels the same way, then next Duan Shanshan, you can make changes to the existing main quest and dialogue in response to these opinions we have raised. Xu Zhuce made a decision immediately, "Come up with a revision plan in three days, and we will come back to the meeting to evaluate it then." If it doesn't improve, it means that you can't do the copywriting work on your own, and I will consider hiring another copywriter to assist you. ”

Duan Shanshan didn't remember how he left the conference room, and after returning to the planning department in a daze, he chatted about the notebook and the pen, grabbed a cigarette and a lighter, and walked to the reception room.

There were two smokers in the reception room who were not very familiar with the program department, and after greeting each other, Duan Shanshan pushed open the door leading to the small balcony, walked out and leaned on the railing to look at the street scene downstairs, and a feeling of dizziness brought by a bird's-eye view from a height of nearly 100 meters came to his face in an instant, he lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly closed his eyes......

"You don't want to jump, do you?" a familiar voice sounded behind him, and it seemed to have a playful smile.

"If my answer is 'yes', you must laugh at me for being unproductive, right? If my answer is 'no', you still have to laugh at me for pretending to be frustrated, right?" Duan Shanshan replied with his eyes closed and without looking back.

"So what about your answer?" the voice asked unhurriedly.

"One word, 'get out'!" Duan Shanshan said as he raised his middle finger.

"I don't believe you're so bad. Liu Kewei walked up to him disapprenosingly, lit a cigarette, and stood side by side with him.

The wind gradually rose, blowing the corners of the two of them, Duan Shanshan did not answer, and continued to stand silently.

"You don't need me to explain it to you, do you?" Liu Kewei seemed to be talking to himself, "Of course I know very well the motives of Xu Zhuce for using the plot of the game, but no matter what his motives are, at least he and Ling Xingning do have a point. Writing the story missions and dialogue closer to the player's preferences is only good for our project, and I support this from the bottom of my heart. ”

"If you're not satisfied with the plot tasks and dialogues I wrote, I won't mind, I'm willing to let someone else write them, I can resign and leave at any time. Duan Shanshan said softly, "You can tell me earlier, I can also be freed earlier, I have long said that it is very depressing to stay in this team." ”

"You're thinking too much, I didn't think about letting you leave the team. Liu Kewei rubbed his chin and said seriously, "I just think that with the current game plot, you can really do better, and you should do better, you just can't leave behind some of the stinky problems of niche self-appreciation, appropriately lower some of your bottom line, closer to the audience's orientation, more friendly, what's wrong?"

"You also want me to write a story of Long Aotian? Playing handsome and pretending, seeing someone slap his face, the tiger's body shook the little brother's head and bowed, hooking his fingers and sending a beautiful woman to his arms?" Duan Shanshan became a little impatient, "Speaking of which, isn't that what the audience wants to see? It's not that I don't know, there are many, many people who can write this kind of thing, why it has to be me, wouldn't it be better for everyone to change someone to do it?"

"You're too extreme. Liu Kewei shook his head and said, "I didn't ask you to do that level, but didn't you really find it, the plot of the 60-level game, the contradictions you wrote are all camp conflicts, all values are differences, these are not bad, but only these are not too monotonous? We often say the four words of grievances and hatred, you only achieved grievances, where is the love and hatred? To give the simplest example, there are nearly 100 characters in six scenes, and there is not even a decent love story, do you think this is enough?"

Duan Shanshan touched his nose embarrassedly and was silent, as a single dead house, he actually has no prejudice against love stories, but he lacks some personal experience, but he only indirectly obtains some second-hand plausible messy feelings from other people's story works, and he always has no confidence when writing about those things that are in front of and under the moon, so he has developed the habit of subconsciously avoiding those elements when writing.

"Your sister, you've written fantasy novels and won awards, you've seen magicians, you've seen dwarves and elves? Who said you have to experience something yourself to write!" Liu Kewei couldn't help but refute it angrily and amusefully after listening to Duan Shanshan's pale and feeble defense.

"So there are very few fantasy elements in the fantasy novels I wrote, and many friends say that I write fiction novels with fantasy sheepskins. Duan Shanshan said nefactorily.

"You are a psychological disorder, get electricity!" Liu Kewei complained mercilessly, "You just don't have self-confidence, it doesn't mean that you can't write those things, let it go, I've always been very optimistic about you." ”
