Chapter 140: Determining the Characters First (1st Update)
The matter of SNK, Yang Yun handed over to Wang Zhe and Inoue Yanxiong to operate, hoping to build a relationship through some people, and then use money to open the way and infiltrate Shili into the enemy camp.
However, Yang Yun still has to make another preparation, in case SNK refuses to be acquired, then he can only be self-reliant.
He first found Liu Cixing, and the plot and character design had to be solved first.
The novel of Warrior of the Round Table is almost finished, and the game adapted from the same name is also being tested by Zuihou, Yang Yun calculated the time, and by August, Warrior of the Round Table should be able to be listed, but he is not ready to care about this game personally, from publicity to sales, all left to Wang Zhe's team for execution.
When Liu Cixing saw Yang Yun, he was always a little nervous and didn't dare to look at each other for too long.
Yang Yun smiled: "Da Liu, we've known each other for almost a year, right?" Why do you look at me like that? Can I eat people? ”
Liu Cixing took a deep breath: "You can't eat people, but you're too strong for people to dare to look at ......"
This strength should refer to a wide range of knowledge, as well as a wide range of knowledge, active thinking, and a strong aura.
Nonsense, I had decades of experience before I was reborn, and I knew everything about the development of the next generation, so of course I was well-informed.
Yang Yun smiled: "Leave the matter of the publication of the Round Table Warrior to Fang Huimin, and then I will give you another task, depending on how you choose." One is to be a companion to Jiang Shaoyun, to sit in the French branch of Longteng, and to travel to the United Kingdom, France, and Italy when he has time, to get in touch with local writers and scholars, to experience the origin and development of European magic and fantasy stories on the spot, and to integrate it into your own things. ”
Travel in many countries in Europe!
Like the troubadours. Feel the customs and habits of various places and appreciate the customs of various countries. Listen to local legends that have been passed down for thousands of years and explore the people. Mind, Shijie, this temptation is too great!
It's just that once he leaves, it will be a matter of many years, and Liu Cixing still has his parents, wife and children at home, so he just goes out, which is a luxury.
Yang Yun continued: "The second option is to continue to stay in China. But I will ask Fang Huimin to provide you with a large number of relevant books, which you need to study carefully and summarize the experience by yourself. For example, Dungeons & Dragons DND Rules, the founder of this rule invented a DND board game where you not only have to eat everything inside, but also innovate. Staying in the country, it may be more difficult, because you may be the only person in China who has studied the DND rules. I can't talk to anyone. ”
Liu Cixing was silent, he was not a man of words, to be precise, he was just because he loved science fiction. was absorbed into the team by Yang Yun.
In real history, Liu Cixing's outbreak was in the mid-to-late 90s. Starting with the whale song, all the way through. Published put on her eyes and wandered the earth. Three-Body Trilogy and other master works.
Since joining Longteng last year, I have been writing science fiction stories about the Salloman Snake for a while, participating in the script of the Three Kingdoms for a while, and then the legend of King Arthur, and now there is a DND.
It feels very bad to be guided, but Liu Cixing didn't dare to disobey Yang Yun's order, and secondly, he couldn't bear it, because he knew that everything Yang Yun did was to make Longteng's foundation in the game industry deeper and more extensive.
Yang Yun looked at the expression on this honest man's face, and suddenly understood, it turned out that he had unknowingly interfered with others......
"Ahem...... ahem" Yang Yun calculated the time, several famous DND games are all on the PC side in a few years, and it is still early, if you force it too tightly, it feels a little inhumane.
"That's it, let's study in China first, and when the time is almost up, then go out for a walk, visit some famous masters, learn from each other, and travel around the world with my sister-in-law, how romantic!"
Liu Cixing smiled and nodded, this suggestion is still acceptable.
Yang Yun changed the subject: "Da Liu, if I ask you to design a martial artist's shijie story now, where do you think you should start?" ”
Liu Cixing laughed: "Mr. Yang, although I am doing writing work, martial arts is not my field of expertise, if you ask me, I am afraid that I will mislead you!" ”
Yang Yun smiled dumbly: "It's okay, I just want to hear opinions." I wanted to make a fighting game, I had a number of controls and skill design, but the candidates were not determined, and there was no haode backstory, I thought of a little bit of the beginning, but I still lacked control over the characters who appeared. ”
Liu Cixing thought for a while, and his expression was very relaxed: "Do you want to make the game and the story perfectly combined, just like Ma Liang designed the Round Table Samurai?" ”
Yang Yun nodded, this is the nasty character, to cancel many people and replace them with others, the more involved, the more places to take into account, and the more the story will be modified.
Liu Cixing laughed: "Mr. Yang, it turns out that you will also fall into a misunderstanding!" ”
Misunderstanding? Yang Yun touched his chin and gestured, "Go on." ”
"The adaptation of a novel to a game, and the adaptation of a novel to a game, are essentially the same, both are extended creations under a fixed proposition."
Liu Cixing gave an example: "Shaloman Snake, it was after I saw the game you made that I created the corresponding novel. Round Table Samurai, I wrote the novel first, and Ma Liang changed it into a game. Now that you have the concept of a fighting game, as long as the content of the game is fixed, the backstory can be created freely, instead of doing two things at the same time, and it's very easy to lose sight of one or the other! ”
Woke up the people in the dream with a word, Yang Yun was thinking about how to change the characters to make the story more reasonable, and on the other hand, he was thinking about how to change the story to fit all the people, but the result was uncertain at both ends, and he was entangled at both ends.
Yang Yun nodded and came to his senses: "I should have identified all the characters first!" Xiexie, you Da Liu, I know what to do! ”
Since it's a fighting game, it's best to ask the fighters for their opinions first.
Yang Yun came to Hong Kong and visited Brother Cheng Long again.
This year, Cheng Jiaban did not receive any work, the market was a little sluggish, and there were very few people who invited Cheng Long to make movies, in order to make a living, Cheng Long had to take the initiative to attack, and in April, he also went to Okinawa, Japan to hold a concert.
As soon as they met, Cheng Long was funny and cried to Yang Yun: "Brother Yang! Hurry up and pay the game production fee owed to me, and our Cheng Jiaban was forced to go around performing in order to make ends meet! ”
Dragon warrior and death squad games are both scripts and martial arts guidance provided by Cheng Long, everyone was friends at the beginning, and the popularity of dragon warrior games also helped Cheng Long's international image, so neither side mentioned the cost.
Yang Yun grinned and said, "Our company still owes about $200 million in debt, if you can do it, just ask!" ”
"$200 million!" Cheng Long couldn't believe it, "Brother, what have you done, you owe others $200 million?" ”
Yang Yun briefly explained the matter of Sega, and then said: "So I have to make a few new games as soon as possible and pay off the debt as soon as possible." ”
Cheng Long was a little undecided, he was a kung fu superstar, yes, but he was not a martial arts master of a certain genre.
In his films, kung fu is always full of fun, for example, often with the help of a bench, with one enemy and many enemies, using every part of the bench, or with the help of tools such as herringbone ladder scaffolding, drilling back and forth, making the fight humorous and full of juggling.
It's no problem to make a movie like this, it's funny and good-looking, but he doesn't have a rigorous kung fu foundation, and many of them are arranged by Yuan Baye, a martial arts instructor.
After listening to Yang Yun's introduction, Cheng Long thought for a while, and said cautiously: "A shijie-level fighting competition, each team of 3 people, team up for wheel battles, duel out the strongest, and win the title of The-King-of-Fighter, the idea is good, and it can also be used in movies." ”
Yang Yun agreed with this method very much, and said: "Make a game first, and when the game is popular, the eldest brother will make an adapted movie, and I approve of it with both hands." 8 teams, from the perspective of the big brother, how to choose? ”
Cheng Long introduced: "China, Japan, the United States, these three countries are a must. How many teams are you going to arrange for European countries? ”
Jiang Shaoyun set up a Longteng branch in France, and has arranged for people to contact the underground boxing arena in Europe, sponsor some famous martial artists, and leave two or three teams in Europe.
So he said: "2-3 teams in Europe. Let's talk about something else first, there are still 3 teams left, South Korea and Thailand are also big fighting powers, are they all added? ”
Cheng Long thought for a while and said: "Muay Thai can be had, but the Thai team is still not qualified to form a team, the country is too small, the influence is too small, and if you make a King of Fighters movie, there is no market at all!" ”
Yang Yun nodded, this is the same as real history, OK, the first to determine the next one, Dongzhang represents Muay Thai.
"As for the South Korean team, there is only one national skill worth talking about, the country is small, and the Olympic Games only began to try to compete in the Olympics the year before last, and the breadth and depth of communication are far from enough."
This...... Yang Yun can't say anything, in The King of Fighters 94, there are 3 members of the Korean team, Jin Jiafan, Chen Khan, Cai Baojian, except for the head of the Jin family, the other two are simply miserable!
You know, South Korea can make Oba, the man is handsome, the woman is beautiful, but the King of Fighters is either a big fat man or a thin monkey, which is not a shame!
OK, the second place is confirmed, Kim Jiafan represents South Korean taekwondo, and Chen Khan and Cai Baojian are the first substitutes.
Cheng Long thought for a while: "As for the other martial arts fighting countries, there is nothing too worth saying. Oh yes, Bruce Lee is a Chinese kung fu master, do you want him to play? (To be continued......)
