35. The father of the fairy sword

"Games? You're adapting the game? No director has ever done that! Ning Hao looked at Ye Sumang incredulously.

"Just because others don't do it doesn't mean that this road can't work." Ye Sumang stared at the game exhibition below with burning eyes, and calmly analyzed: "In fact, there has long been a successful precedent for the game to be adapted into a movie. [Tomb Raider], which was released last year, and [Resident Evil], which just achieved a good box office this year, are all successful cases of change, although there has been no similar type of domestic TV series, but I don't mind being the first to eat crabs. ”

After speaking, Ye Sumang pointed to the booth of [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] below, and continued: "[The Legend of Sword and Fairy], one of the best works of Chinese domestic games, almost all players who owned computers installed and played this game back then, I think you have also played it, right?" ”

"I did play..."Ye Sumang's words made Ning Hao unable to refute.

"That's right, [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] is a popular game, and it itself contains a huge potential viewership." After Ye Sumang finished speaking, he pointed to the crowd below, and said with admiration: "Look at the people below, there are still many domestic game fans, and their enthusiasm is the basis for my confidence that this TV series can succeed." ”

"Well, even if you convince me." Ning Hao spread his hands and sighed helplessly.

"I'm not just going to convince you, I'm going to convince the game's founders and production companies, and I'm afraid we're going to have to be busy again." Although Ye Sumang complained, his eyes were full of excitement, and he was obviously full of interest in the next work.

It is said that an American psychologist once put forward a theory of 'six degrees of separation', saying that if you want to know a person, you only need to contact six people to get the contact information of the other person.

Although Ye Sumang had never been in contact with Yao Zhuangxian, who was known as the 'Father of the Fairy Sword', it did not prevent him from quickly obtaining the contact information of the other party.

Ye Sumang just called the customer service number of the other company, and then made his own request and proved his identity, and the front desk handed over Yao Zhuangxian's contact information to Ye Sumang.

What Ye Sumang didn't expect was that the father of the fairy sword was actually in Beijing at the moment.

In fact, in 2000, Huanyu Games Company established a wholly-owned subsidiary called Kyoto Soft Star in Beijing, which is also the bridgehead for Huanyu Games Group to enter the mainland.

As the R&D leader of [Monopoly] and [The Legend of Sword and Fairy], Yao Zhuangxian, the company's important minister, naturally became the general manager of this branch.

However, compared with the high spirits when he first came over, Yao Zhuangxian at this time can be described as full of sadness and full of worries.

The reason for all this is a dispute last year.

As the father of the fairy sword, this game work can be said to have poured out Yao Zhuangxian's own efforts, and has always regarded it as his own child, and does not allow others to touch it.

But not long after he came to Kyoto to set up a company, there was a notice from the head office that he would hand over the sequel to [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] to someone else to produce.

This is definitely a bolt from the blue for Yao Zhuangxian.

As a game developer, the most important thing is to have a classic game with your name engraved on it to be successful.

is like Xu Canglong, who created [The Legend of Jin Yong's Heroes] and [The Legend of the Martial Arts Heroes], and Cai Minghong who created the [Xuanyuan Sword] series. As long as players play this game, they will immediately think of the name of the creator who created this game.

And the one who can represent him Yao Zhuang Immortal is undoubtedly the [Legend of Sword and Fairy]!!

But the problem now is that the follow-up of [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] has no self, which is something that Yao Zhuangxian can't accept at all, even if it is his old comrade-in-arms who is taking over this game now!

So in anger, he directly sent a seriously worded statement to the head office, indicating that no one but him could touch this game.

After a series of disputes, the fanatic group founded by Yao Zhuangxian that year also came to an end, and with the disbandment of the fanatics, the [Legend of Sword and Fairy II], which had already been half created, had to be stranded and reset.

And the disbandment of the fanatic also directly made the sequel to this classic finally fall into the hands of the DOMO group.

Although they are both excellent game production teams, DOMO's planning is the difference between mountains and seas, and the [Xuanyuan Sword] series has always focused on national hatred and family hatred, which is very incompatible with the chivalrous tenderness of the fairy sword itself.

This also made the production process of the game unsatisfactory, and Yao Zhuangxian was also a little confused for a while, not knowing whether he was right or wrong when he sent the email.

Returning from DOMO's studio again, Yao Zhuangxian's face was very ugly.

DOMO's copywriting planning is very good in the company, but I don't know weishenme, and I can't always write the heart-wrenching aiqing feeling that Yao Zhuangxian wants.

Every time Yao Zhuangxian keeps reminding him, he will gradually get to the point, but as long as Yao Zhuangxian is not careful, they will weave the plot into a conspiracy again. Such repetition made Yao Zhuangxian himself feel physically and mentally exhausted.

"Mr. Yao, there are two phone appointments for you, both of which are named by film and television media companies and want to shoot your [Legend of Sword and Fairy] into a TV series!" As soon as Yao Zhuangxian sat down, his secretary immediately handed over a note and said with a somewhat excited expression.

"I want to make [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] into a TV series!?" Yao Zhuangxian's eyes widened in surprise, and an excited look gradually appeared on his originally sad face.

If [The Legend of Sword and Fairy] can really be made into a TV series, it will really create a precedent for domestic stand-alone games!

Because no domestic game has ever been adapted into a TV series.

As an old fritter who has been in the game industry for many years, Yao Zhuangxian can immediately think of the intangible profits brought by this, and it is more of a sublimation of his personal reputation.

If you think about it, when other game groups are still thinking about how to make games so that players can like them, he Yao Zhuangxian has already put his game on TV, which is an invisible glory in itself.

"Tang Dynasty movies, and this world film and television?" Yao Zhuangxian looked at the two contact addresses written on the note in his hand suspiciously, with a hint of apprehension, and pressed the number on it more expectantly.
