"But on our side, we don't really have a plan to build a worldview. Facing the eager Wang Erli, Yue Qingyan was a little helpless. "There is neither manpower nor development plans. There are characters, but ......"

"But you have the foundation. "We always wanted to develop a game that could use multiple characters for stealth stealth and action combat. It may not be possible to simulate the characters from a first-person FPS or a third-person perspective, but we have the technology to prepare for it. You are always welcome to come to our company and see some examples of what we do. But our story really is...... Mess. ”

"Because you have to consider the different characters and plots of multiple lines? Once the growth lines of different characters are intertwined, and multiple plot line branches are needed, then this logical structure is not easy to sort out, right?"

"Yes. In a word. ”

"Then, I made a bold guess: Hmm...... Mismatch your character's activities and your game's needs?"

"Yes. ”

"What character is written as if it were the same person in the end, and can only be used with various auxiliary means, even non-dissenting modal words and idiomatic expressions to emphasize a certain character?"

"Oh, really. ”

"It's okay to finish a story, but you don't feel like there's much room for a sequel and other developments?"

"Totally hit. ”

(PS: If there is a game company looking for an outsourcer to talk about plot issues, the above are too common, basically one question is accurate)

"If your plot is like this, isn't it good to make this kind of technical reserve an action-adventure class, or even a matchless class?"

"That's the thing about smashing the signboard. Wang Erli sighed and said, "The game industry is not easy. ”

"What do you want to do?" Yue Qingyan asked, "This will determine whether we can cooperate or not." ”

"Players can't stop opening the story mode to confirm the past all the way. That said, the game is just an entry point for the player into this world, as solid and believable as possible. Wang Erli has been thinking about this problem for a long time: "After clearing the level, players will not feel: why is it so, but will regret not being able to be with the characters." ”

"It's all a story experience. What about your sense of play?"

"The sense of gameplay, including the percussion design, is of course in service of the story experience. Wang Erli said: "Otherwise, the developed game will make people skip the plot all the way, so what else will I struggle with?"

This Wang Erli is also a strange person. In this kind of plot design and architecture cooperation, game companies often emphasize the importance of their own programs, art, gameplay design, numerical balance, etc., and regard the plot, story, and character setting as an "important" auxiliary factor. I say it's important because it's really unlucky to get it right, but I'm certainly not willing to hand over this kind of core business to a third-party team. If your own planning team can get by, you will hand it over to your own people, and you can't get by, and you will mainly acquire and recruit core employees, and you will not rashly hand over this part of the work to others. Because if you don't pay enough attention to this area and invest enough money, you won't be able to recruit the right team to take over. And the right team, if you can't feel your sincerity and sufficient amount, there are all kinds of means to grind and irrigate. Anyway, game companies that can outsource this part of their business don't have the ability to write this kind of document themselves, so they don't have enough reliable editors and reviewers.

But this Wang Erli, as the CEO of a game company, just these few words, his ass is crooked and he doesn't know where to go.

"I've also learned about the Silver Pages culture and the various situations of your gang. The world view structure of "Yinying" is very complete, and now, the SLG war chess game is also very well developed. I'm always an old friend with that company, and he's also a fan of Yinying, so I realized it in hindsight and was laughed at by him. However, then we discussed whether to discuss with you the question of expanding the game genre. Of course, this is a later story, and I will make an appointment with you later, and this matter is not my responsibility. However, you're good at areas that game companies can't specialize in. Positions such as game planning, plot writing, etc., are more about the execution level, and they don't have enough perception of the relatively pragmatic aspects of story and emotional experience, or they only have a good perception of specific stories and specific types. There is always something biased. Wang Erli explained: "So, when I saw the video and thought of such cooperation, I first thought of looking for you." Otherwise, this structure relies on us to make the plot and setting by ourselves, and we don't know when we will get it. It's also time to make games, especially since our company's development pressure is not very great now, but the plan for follow-up works is basically not very satisfying. So, I'm really sincere to work with you. ”

"I understand. I've got to think about it...... Because, frankly, the experience is there, and the team is there. However, Silver Pages is now busy. I understand your sincerity, but we also need to consider our production capacity, and the urgency of this work. Moreover, since we want a story, we must also cooperate with products such as comics, right? The development cycle and development cost of this kind of thing, we all need to repeatedly run in for a while to enhance mutual understanding. Yue Qingyan did not directly refuse this matter, since he had already taken over the performance organization of those folk music masters with Zhou Guanlan before, one more project may not be a bad thing.

After sending Wang Erli away, Yue Qingyan said to Ka Ka: "What should I do? I am also interested in this project, but no one really writes it." ”

"But this Mr. Wang recognized us, alas. When he first came, he told me that his investigation was more than that. "When chatting, he said his ID on the website, and when you chatted, I asked the background to check it for me." He has a 63% view rate of all the entries on Eunyoung's World View site. That's a lot higher than all of you. ”

"Well, I've only read less than 25 percent of it. ”

"So, then, we had a couple of copywriters leave our company before, and two of them went to him. In fact, they are all normal career choices, and everyone's relationship with them is still very good, but he didn't say it. I privately found those two people and asked about their situation, and now their main job is the previous game of Guangyi Network, according to our format and method, to sort out the worldview and content framework. I also gave two or three lectures on document specifications in the company. It's quite reusable anyway. ”

"What should I do then?" Yue Qingyan didn't mean that he couldn't refuse a project ruthlessly, but the other party's extravagant fist made him a little difficult to deal with.

"Look at the time. If they have results in a few months, can start making games, and launch them every six months and a year, then we will not accompany them. If you can slow down and spend half a year to ten months doing the pre-story design, then you can give it a try. Master, it's a pity that you gave up on those settings you came up with. But I can't see what you're going to do at the moment, do you?"

"I have two versions in mind. One is similar to a pure ancient story, but it is estimated that it will be empty. Because of what I set and tossed together, many of the design elements are not from a dynasty, which looks bluffing, but there are actually a lot of bugs left. So, it's more interesting to set it up in an overhead. "Yue Qingyan is not shy about his apprentices, there is no need to shy away from this aspect at all.

"There is also a story, which is a time and space shuttle team, shuttling through various historical time and space. Among them, there are modern and ancient people, fighting against those who try to change history, so that our historical line remains stable. In modern society, ancient people are also trying to learn and adapt. And when modern people go to ancient times, there may be a lot of jokes. ”

Ka Ka's eyes lit up: "Alas, this is good." ”

"But this one is complicated. And when it comes to developing a game, you have to accept more than one set of art style settings, and the cost is amazing. ”

"Can you make a series of games?"

"Yes, it's quite suitable. Yue Qingyan thought for a while: "But it's a pity that I can't make TV series and movies." ”

Ka Ka sighed, thinking of the current cultural policy and approval system, his heart was bitter. Obviously, they are all very positive themes, very interesting topics, and very good scripts, but none of them can come out.

"So what should I do?" said Ka Ka, "just making money from games, the overall cost of doing this is too high." ”

"I think we will use a small number of capable people to make the early stage things first. Then evaluate as you go. Yue Qingyan said.

Ka Ka has already taken out a small notebook to make a record, if those were all chats between master and apprentice before, then now it is the boss's work arrangement to his subordinates, and it is the master's ear to the apprentice.

"I'm still in charge, but I can't write this story, so I think you're the main copywriter. Responsible for the writing of the entire story framework and the construction of the world view. I'm here to assist you and help you with the draft. Then, the words of the copywriting team, Guan Xi and Li Feng ...... Add one more Ding Chen. Then the art will let Fang Anxin be in charge. Although the original design was made by Jin Yuan, Jin Yuan was really busy and crazy. He still needs to be responsible for the design of "The Birth of a Story" now, so I won't be burdened with him for the time being. ”

"Well, don't you manage operations? I can't manage this. "Ka Ka was a little scared.

"Then who is the other one?" Yue Qingyan asked, "I don't know too much about the company, who is still available?" or do you think it's appropriate?"

"How about Lu Yiwei?" said for a moment. Lu Yiwei's name is less, but this interesting guy is one of the people in the company with the strongest comprehensive management ability and the strongest multi-threaded overall planning ability. However, because he has not been in the company for a long time and has no interest in variety shows at all, he did not join the "Birth of the Story" project team, and now he is still helping out in the Yinying project team. She chose Yinpin, not because she was a Yinying fan, in fact, before she entered the company, she had never read Yinying at all, and she still made up the lessons in the company's atmosphere after entering the company. The reason why she chose Silver Page and stayed was because during the entire few months of her internship, no one in the company called her by the wrong name.

"Yes. It's a good fit. Yue Qingyan nodded.

A new world building team was formed.
