Chapter Ninety-Three: Mythology

Skynet has just announced its intention to build a large food company in Changchun, and the next moment it has announced the formation of a network security company umbrella......

But as for which one worries the majority of netizens the most, to be precise, gamers, it is still the flood of large-scale online games. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Since the first promotional video was released by Perfect Games in June, this huge book, which claims to cost tens of millions of dollars and half of Perfect Company's efforts, has deeply attracted many players.

In the following period, Perfect Company launched several games that were well received, which corresponded to the saying that perfect production must be a high-quality product. The good reputation makes the flood even more expected.

And that's not all, every ten days and half a month Perfect releases a new expansion. There is a vast map of the original appearance, there are various mythical beasts, and there are various mythological characters......

Although the content is not comprehensive, you can only see one scale and half claws, but its majestic painting style, vast style, and broad background...... It makes the majority of game lovers itch unbearably.

Flood became one of the most anticipated games, and there was no one. The well-known domestic game magazine "Practical Technology of Game Consoles" called it the most anticipated game of the 21st century.

Today, the official website of Perfect Company has made a big move again. The banner on the homepage has been changed to: October 2 "The Flood" is coming, are you ready?

Flood?

Flood is coming online?

Will the flood be launched on October 2?

The gaming world was instantly boiling over the news. In the past, although the Flood Wilderness was updating the expansion pack at a very high frequency, the release date has not been announced.

If you are chased by netizens, you will not be salty: It is being produced intensively, and the date has not been decided. Let's perfunctory everyone.

Their attitude made everyone think that this game would take a long time to be completed, but they didn't know that suddenly there was news that it was going to be launched.

Compared to companies that can't wait to announce the launch date of their games just after the project is launched, Perfect is once again different - announcing the date less than 20 days before the launch.

Don't play cards according to the routine, this is the unanimous voice of the people.

This is bad news for competitors, and it couldn't be worse. Honghuang went online so quickly, and they were caught off guard.

But this is great news for players, the long-awaited game is finally live, and some of them are playing.

There is also a piece of information that was released at the same time as the game's launch date, and it is also the last promotional video before the game is launched. To be precise, it's a micro-film that lasts more than 30 minutes.

At the beginning of the promotional video, the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou confronted each other, and no one could help anyone, so the two sides began to seek foreign aid.

The Yellow Emperor invited the fire god Zhu Rong, and Chi You invited the water god to work together. Yes, I wish you all the best.

Chinese mythology is too chaotic and fragmented, and there are too many contradictions. Zhu Ziqing is going to use the battle between the Yellow Emperor and Chiyou as a framework and the Three Seas Classic as the background to summarize Chinese mythology......

The god of fire, Zhu Rong and the god of water, these two great gods who occupy an important position in traditional mythology, will naturally not let go.

However, the origin of Zhurong and Gonggong in traditional mythology is not too clear, and the causes and consequences of their disputes are also different. Here Zhu Ziqing found a relatively convincing story for them.

Water and fire are intolerable, and there is no harmony between the two people, but the two are just fighting each other, but the well water does not interfere with the river water. The Yellow Emperor invited Zhu Rong, and Chi You invited Gonggong, and the two had an excuse for the war.

Then there was the Gonggong clan angrily crashing into Buzhou Mountain, causing the Heavenly Pillar to collapse and the sky to fall. Then there was Nuwa to mend the sky.

The trailer ends when the sky falls, and the picture changes from a bloody battle to a game screen.

The large-scale story quest Nuwa Mending the Sky has begun......

Yes, this is the flood famine, this is the flood famine planned by Zhu Ziqing. Inductive and straightening out traditional Chinese mythology is his ultimate goal.

It can be said that the flood is a sharp weapon for him to meddle in traditional Chinese classical mythology. But this sharp weapon is very dangerous, and if it is not good, it will hurt itself.

Traditional Chinese mythology has been fragmented for a long time, and it is not that there is no Gao De who can see the drawbacks in it, and it is not that no one has tried to sort it out.

But the end result is that classical mythology is still so messy. I don't know what happened during this period, but it must not have been very pleasant.

Mythology is the top priority of a country's culture, and the birth of many myths can be regarded as one of the origins of a civilization. If you want to do something about the origin of civilization, you can imagine how much backlash it will encounter in the cultural circles.

Zhu Ziqing's choice to use games to straighten out classical mythology is to mitigate or avoid this backlash.

Nowadays, there are still few adaptations of myths in games, film and television works, online novels, etc.? But have you ever seen an expert who has caught them and held on to them? Very few?

Even if someone is more serious, everyone doesn't eat that set. Why take it so seriously if it's just entertainment, this is the mentality of the audience player.

So whether it is a literati or a high school, or helpless, they have chosen to ignore this kind of entertainment-heavy adaptation anyway.

But as a traditional literati and an insider, if he dares to do this, he will definitely be greeted by the verbal criticism of the entire literary community. Don't talk about Zhu Ziqing, even Chen Qiming and Jia Qigong can't do it.

Therefore, Zhu Ziqing did not choose to directly use literary works to straighten out the work of mythology, but chose games with more entertainment characteristics.

If a literati accuses him of revising classical mythology, he can just use it for entertainment, so why take it so seriously and perfunctory.

But what about the real situation? If the game is done well, it will subtly influence the minds of young people, making them feel that Chinese mythology is supposed to be like this.

If you think the impact of the game is too one-sided, you can also make cartoons, TV series, and movies in the future......

Even web novels he thought of. If the flood is on fire, it is estimated that a large number of online authors will choose to write fannets. If you are at the initiative point, you can also launch an essay contest for the flood wilderness.

This multi-pronged approach has the greatest impact on young people. When this generation of young people grows up, many things can be reversed naturally without deliberately pursuing.

It's not an exaggeration at all, just think about the previous life when the Buddha was originally a god stream created by the Tao. How many children regard it as a spectrum of Chinese mythology.

That's just the influence of online novels, Zhu Ziqing doesn't believe it, he can't achieve this effect with a multi-pronged approach?

"Actually, I didn't think much of it at first, I just wanted to make a game. Later, the study of Chinese classical culture deepened, and this idea was slowly formed. That's why there is the current flood famine. It can be said that the story background of this game has been modified no less than 100 times to get to the current situation. When Liu Xiaoping asked Zhu Ziqing what he wanted, he replied like this.

It's the truth. At first, he really just wanted to imitate World of Warcraft to make a Chinese version of a large-scale online game, but later he read more books and realized that his ideas were too narrow.

With the deepening of the study of classical Chinese culture, this idea has become more and more serious. In the end, he reversed the original plan and restarted the flood plan, so that everyone has the situation that everyone is looking at now.

The Ultimate Edition trailer really stirred up the enthusiasm of players, and they could only vent their emotions through the keyboard in the forum before the game was launched.

"My blood boiled when I watched this promotional video, and I couldn't wait to be incarnated in it. ”

"Is this the mission system of the Flood Wilderness? It's so burning, I feel like my blood is burning. ”

"Why wait twenty days, I can't wait a day. ”

"This is the Chinese myth in my mind, and this is the original Chinese game. ”

Some people rate the game, and some people come to advertise. Like what:

"The kamikaze clan recruits people to go to the wilderness to open up a new world, if you are brothers, hurry up. ”

"The Iron Blood Temple recruits ......"

"Ten perfect tonic pills cure all diseases......"

"Golden cucumber, buy my melon and make you forget about him......"

“……”

Some people praise and some people scold, and Zhu Ziqing's worries have become a reality. After watching the video, many people in the literary world couldn't help but jump out and accuse him of disrespecting history, being blinded by money, and so on.

But such people are only a few, not big names, and their accusations are simply ignored and soon drowned in the praise of netizens, and they have not made any waves. The back hand that Zhu Ziqing prepared was useless at all.

In fact, he thinks too much about this matter, what age is it now, everyone is not the old antique of the past, and he has long been accustomed to entertaining myths.

Unless he stands up and shouts to adapt the classical Chinese mythology, no one will pay attention to him at all. Most of the little shrimp that jumped out were just to gain fame.

The propaganda of the flood was in full swing, and Zhu Ziqing was not idle. The press conference on the boot of the bright sword began.

"Mr. Zhu, according to reliable sources, is it true that you are going to write a long martial arts?" a reporter asked a question that the crew was most worried about after being given the right to ask questions.

Recently, Zhu Ziqing's side has made frequent moves, and the bright sword press conference is likely to become Zhu Ziqing's personal press conference. This is something that no one wants.

But there will be a way to deal with the problems that can be considered in advance, and this time they have already prepared.

I saw Zhu Ziqing say solemnly: "Today is the Bright Sword press conference, and I will not answer any topics that have nothing to do with the topic." And I'm only interviewed by three people, and I'm not going to answer any questions after three questions. So please be mentally prepared and think about what you want to ask in advance. ”

Hearing this, many of the reporters who had interviewed him before looked calm, apparently accustomed to his personality. And the reporters who interviewed him for the first time couldn't believe their ears, that's how you treated our uncrowned king?

The reporter who had just been given the first right to ask questions sat down stupidly, and what had been a great opportunity suddenly turned into a big pit, and he couldn't accept the change too quickly.

"Mr. Zhu, three TV series related to you have been released in half a year, and now we are going to shoot the fourth one. Do you think this speed is too fast?" (To be continued.) )
