When the reader sees the antecedents and consequences of the broader expansion beyond the novel, they will understand. These 47 days of fighting, a defeat in a strategic fiasco, are a typical microcosm of the frontal battlefield in the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression.

Wang Buyi sat with several strange college students next to him, flipping through the novel. The novel version is completely different from the game, and you can't affect the story through operations. No matter how you read it, the words are there, and it feels powerless.

At this time, a fashionably dressed girl came over and asked her boyfriend, "They all say that this book is good, is it really good?" ”

"Ugh." Her boyfriend closed the book and sighed, "I really regret reading this book now." ”

"You said that the second chapter was a defeat, and you don't want to read it." The girl picked up one too, flipping through it.

"I knew about Yu Xianggui before, and I thought that Celadon Technology had whitewashed that rout, but I didn't expect the content to be like this. If you hadn't come, I would have been in the book. Such a novel was actually written by a game company. The girl's boyfriend sighed.

"I heard that the Spring Festival of the game is coming out, you can play it then, and I'll watch from the side." The girl said. For this girl, having a boyfriend can also be useful for this.

"Let's have fun then." Her boyfriend said. Her boyfriend doesn't really play games much. The first chapter of "My Anti-Japanese" was only cleared twice on the National Day. No addiction to the game.

But after reading the novel, I immediately wanted to play the game. Teacher Meng's skills are profound, and he uses words to weave lifelike scenes, which makes people feel immersed in the scene after watching it. I had a breath in my heart. The protagonist in the novel is just an ordinary person, who can't slow down time, can't take a hundred steps, and can't play a kill effect. And in the game, yes.

Although readers know that the plot in the game will end up being the same as the novel, with the loss of Hengyang, the surrender of the Tenth Army, the suicide of the regiment commander, and the escape of the protagonist. But they still want to be involved, even if they can't change the final result, it's okay to kill the little devils!

Wang's purpose in publishing the novel is to boost the game's sales. Now novels are very popular, in addition to the good quality, there are also channel reasons.

The previous main partner of Fenghua Publishing House was Bozhong Bookstore. There are not many outlets. Xinhua Bookstore is different. Basically all over the country. For example, in Nanjiang, there is only one Bozhong bookstore, but there are five Xinhua bookstores.

When selling the first chapter, Xinhua Bookstore waited until it saw the sales before it began to buy in large quantities. Wait until the second chapter is ready for presale. Xinhua Bookstore specially sent people. Negotiate with Fenghua Publishing House about the distribution of goods nationwide. And when it is put on the shelf, it is placed in the most conspicuous place from beginning to end.

Screenwriter Ke and Mr. Meng have made a lot of money because of this novel. Fenghua Publishing House surpassed Baiming Publishing House in one fell swoop. Become the largest publishing house in the province. With this help, the game will be launched during the Spring Festival, and it will definitely be able to sell well.

"We've got you covered." Luo Caiqiu and Xia Ci both came over with two books. are all Chinese and foreign masterpieces, "War and Peace" or something.

Wang Buyi put the novel back on the bookshelf and said with a smile: "Let's go, pay the bill." ”

……

Starting from New Year's Day, schools around the country have continued their winter vacation. As a result, the online volume of game boxes has been rising.

The numbers are pretty self-explanatory. Before New Year's Day, the peak online rate from Monday to Friday is 8 o'clock in the evening, with an average of 3oo. This is the data of the three games "Counter-Strike", "Three Kingdoms", and "Amazing Country: Prequel" combined.

Now the daily peak online time has moved to three o'clock in the afternoon. It reached five million. Where these extra people came from, Wang Bucheng knew without doing an investigation.

So many teenagers are getting into the game, but society has not reacted to it. There are no newspapers or television stations that have reported that children are playing games. It's as if Yang Yongxin never jumped out at all.

In fact, Yang Yongxin is just excited, not crazy. After being electrocuted a few times, he completely collapsed, crying there all day and night, and then assured people that he could really make a lot of money by treating children. If you are not crazy, you are also seen as crazy.

In addition, a series of actions made by Wang Bucheng before New Year's Day have also brought something refreshing to the society. People are gradually understanding that computer games are the new entertainment of the Times, but that's it. Like the films and television that have appeared in the technology exhibition, there is nothing special.

Hearing no objections, Wang Buyi put the heart back into his stomach, which was very pleasantly surprised.

Don't be constrained by the social environment, Wang Buyi can go to the game. It just so happened that Zhou Yi also did the second chapter of "My Anti-Japanese".

Wang Bubu first installed it on his computer, entered the game, selected the difficult difficulty, and tried the game.

First, an opening animation. It represents the process of the protagonist after he was exiled from Guanwai to the Central Plains. From being pulled into a strong ding in confusion, to being appreciated by a certain regiment commander and taking him as a guard. Then the regiment commander died in battle, and the protagonist became the guard of Yu Yanling of the 568th Regiment...... The four-year war road has made the protagonist's appearance more and more vicissitudes, and although he is still young, he looks like he is in his thirties.

Wang Bufu felt that the effect of this animation was good. This opening animation doesn't use in-game modeling. It's made with professional animation software.,It feels very beautiful.,It's just a little big.。 Just because of this opening animation, the game has increased in size by more than 100 MB.

After entering the game, it is still not operable. It starts with a cutscene. The protagonist and the regiment commander sit in an American-made military jeep and go to inspect the positions by the Leishui River.

Wang Bu folded his arms and listened to the conversation between the protagonist and the head of the group.

The protagonist takes out a small notebook and draws a horizontal bar.

The head of the regiment was surprised and asked what it was.

The protagonist turns the small book to the first page, only to see that it is densely packed with the word "positive". The protagonist replied truthfully: "After I was pulled into the strong ding, I started recording." At the top is the company I joined for the first time. There are eleven straight words, which means that within fifty-five days after I joined, the company was over. Every time I was assigned to a new place, I would start recording again. ”

"Oh. How many have you joined? "The head of the regiment is surprised.

The protagonist then begins to count.

The head of the regiment smiled, and without waiting for the protagonist to finish counting, he asked, "How long has it lasted?" What about the shortest? ”

The protagonist doesn't need to check the small book, and immediately answers: "The shortest three days." The longest is five months. ”

, said in a spirited manner: "I don't think the 568 regiment will be defeated again." Now that the Pacific War is in full swing, Japan is doomed to defeat. When we hold Hengyang, we will start the counterattack here! Fight for us in one breath and fight until the victory of the anti-Japanese resistance! ”

Wang Fu leaned back in his chair and watched the plot. The meaning of this plot here is to show the firm belief of the head of the regiment. The head of the regiment went from being full of victory to despair step by step, which is also one of the subplots.

But seeing this, as a game, Wang lived up to the feeling that it was wrong and pressed "esc". The plot is not skipped, but paused.

He looked at the clock, and two minutes had passed through the cutscene.

The main plot of the game must be explained at the beginning. Either dialogue or text, the message always has to be presented in a carrier, and it takes the player time to accept it.

The cutscenes have provided players with a lot of information so far, but is this what players need?

There are definitely players who enter the game and want to see a well-arranged plot. But there are also many players who want to experience the war of resistance when they enter the game.

For players looking for fun, the dialogue before the start of the game is not engaging. Especially in order to pursue reality, the characters speak slowly and logically, which is even more anxiety-making.

For example, the dialogues before the opening of "Interstellar", every time I thought I was finished, there was a "bell" sound again, and new characters joined the dialogue. It's going to make you want to die. Like Wang Buying, he didn't have the patience to listen to it at all, and directly danced all the conversations. This also led to the campaign being played again, and I didn't know what the game was about.

Many game companies are also aware that there will be impatient players skipping the story. This is not good for the brand that builds the game.

If the player keeps skipping the story, they won't be able to understand the worldview of the game. After beating the level, you will soon forget about the game. When I see the sequel again, I can't make effective associations.

Therefore, many companies have set the game's plot cutscenes to be unskippable and force players to watch them. The content is expressed, but the player will also feel uncomfortable.

One of the most remarkable is "The Elder Scrolls 5". In the heart-wrenching plot at the beginning, the protagonist sits in a prisoner car and listens to people's chatter. Then choose the name and pinch the face, and then push it up to the headless without maneuvering. By the time the player is finally able to operate, it's almost five minutes gone.

Although after B Company did this, it immediately let players understand the worldview of the game. The two main settings of the appearance of the evil dragon and the civil war in the sky are stuffed into the player. In terms of information transfer, it is very well done.

But a player like Wang Bufu feels that the subtext of B Club is: "I'm your father, you have to listen to me." Don't be distracted. ”

Of course, as long as the quality of the game is good enough, even if B does this, Wang Buyi still has to pinch his nose and endure it, and wait until the plot is over, to operate the bare-bottomed cat-eared girl to run all over the map.

When he started to do "My Anti-Japanese" in May, Wang Buyi did the same. The plot of the first chapter is also very long. It's just that Wang Bu Bu will try to shorten the unplayable time as much as possible, inserting a cutscene in the middle that requires the player to operate aiming. Even so, long cutscenes abound.

The players at that time had never seen anything. It is equivalent to those who are dying of hunger, and no matter what Wang Bucheng puts in their mouths, they find it delicious. Not anymore, though. Before Counter-Strike, players experienced a game that could be operated immediately after entering, and not everyone could endure the long time watching the story.

When Zhou Yi was making the second chapter of "My Anti-Japanese", he was not aware of the growth of players. I'm still making a game with the idea I had in May last year. This will not work. (To be continued......)

ps: Several chapters of manuscripts have been scrapped, and the saved manuscripts are gone. Recently, I can only change two shifts...... Wait until next Wednesday or Thursday to see if you can resume the third watch.
