Chapter 206. Refusal to commercialize
While the explosive revenue from swimsuit pools has attracted a lot of controversy, there is also more attention to Hatsune Games' upcoming mobile game in August, Hatsune Miku: Idol Master, and the third virtual singer that will follow.
However, before that, the annual animation selection was still the most enthusiastic topic of discussion among animation practitioners and audiences.
This year, Rainbow Media has "City of Giants" directed by martial arts, a masterpiece with both topicality and depth of thought, as well as the "Wall of Masterpieces" and "Realm on the Horizon", which is outstanding in entertainment and sales, and even "Pure White Narcissus", which is enough to leave a name in the history of animation, which is full of discussions.
In mid-August, after attending the annual animation conference as usual, Xu Rui did not appear at the booth of Phantom Electric Animation in the afternoon, and their face-to-face will be arranged for tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Xu Rui was able to have half a day's time, which was enough to accompany Yi Qianqian to hang out in the comic exhibition.
Today's Yi Qianqian is wearing an aqua blue, thin as light gauze, layered long skirt, a blouse and a light white coat, and white high-heeled sandals, which looks quite a bit like a lady.
Xu Rui is a normal T-shirt and jeans, as always.
The two went to the same game area first,Zhou Zun's fantasy series is still popular,This barrage game became unexpectedly popular after the Ningjiang Comic Show three years ago,To this year,Maintain the frequency of one work a year,It seems to have become a famous artist in the same game industry。
This year, Zhou Zun brought a work called "Fantasy Eternal Night Copy", and this time he focused his creation on mythology, using the background of foreign mythology.
It's still hot in front of the booth.,And,With the fame of the fantasy series,Plus Zhou Zun was originally a fan-author.,There is no much interference in the secondary creation of the work.,So,The secondary creation works of the fantasy series on the Ningjiang Comic Con have also become more.,And it's not just limited to painting the same book.,From music covers to fighting games,RPGs made by open source engines.,It's a grand occasion.。
Due to the popularity of the work, as early as the morning, the game brought by Zhou Zun had been sold out, and now only some of the surrounding areas are sold sporadically, even so, there is an endless stream of people in line.
Xu Rui and Yi Qianqian saw so many people, and they originally wanted to visit again after a while, but Zhou Zun, who was in the stall, recognized them at a glance.
"Please wait a minute."
Zhou Zun handed over the sales to his companions and walked out from behind the stall, still holding a copy of his own game.
"Director Xu, Miss Yi, long time no see."
Although Zhou Zun was older than Xu Rui, he still looked quite respectful and handed them the game.
"This is the game I made this year, and although the official version has been sold out, I kept some as a giveaway."
"Looks like your game is selling pretty well."
Xu Rui took the disc, looked at the bun-faced girl painted on the box, and solemnly put it away.
"There's no comparison to Hatsune games."
Zhou Zun glanced at the booth of Phantom Animation in the distance, and a large Hatsune Miku character board was standing on one side of the booth.
"Doujin games are just a little fight after all, as long as it can make everyone happy."
"Speaking of which, you don't plan to commercialize the fantasy brand?"
Xu Rui asked with some emotion,After many fandom clubs reach a certain scale,How much will they encounter the problem of pay and income,After all, power generation with love is a minority,Commercialization or dissolution,It seems that many fandom clubs end up in the end。
"It's not that commercialization hasn't been considered, but once the work is commercialized, it's the investor's work rather than the player's work, and there are several commercialized clubs in my circle, and our little hobby is not worth mentioning in front of capital at all."
Shaking his head a little bitterly, Zhou Zun seemed to be deeply touched.
"Of course, not all producers will encounter such problems, Director Xu, your company and works are very interesting, and you can decide all the content independently, I am very envious."
"If you don't mind, Hatsune Games can invest in your club and ensure that you run independently, after all, as you know, we also invest in music games, and the music of the fantasy series is also praised."
Xu Rui blurted out that he has always had the idea of absorbing Zhou Zun into his company, this creator is extremely good in both character shaping and musical attainments, if he is given a bigger stage, then he is bound to be able to exert unimaginable energy.
It's just that he mentioned similar ideas before, and Zhou Zun politely rejected them, and now it seems that it may be the frustrated experience of other fandom clubs that has made him prejudiced.
"No, not for now."
Zhou Zun shook his head and continued to explain.
"Please don't get me wrong.,Director Xu.,I'm not saying that you're like those capitals.,It's just that I've always felt that the creation of the same people is more free.,I'm used to being a casual person.,Usually the biggest hobby is drinking.,Let me take it as a career.,To be honest, I'm still a little unready.。
He added, then spoke again.
"But maybe one day I can't hold on anymore and want to keep the set, maybe I'll reach out to you, who knows, at least until that day, let me keep dreaming."
Zhou Zun shrugged, he glanced at another game booth not far away, it was also a game produced by a fandom club, but it had been invested two years ago, and now various commercial projects have taken off, and even animations have been released.
The three exchanged a few more words, and Zhou Zun returned to his stall and continued to greet guests, and he could see that there was a woman busy in his stall, who was holding a towel to help Zhou Zun wipe his sweat, and the two were very intimate.
"He also has his own joys."
Yi Qianqian saw Xu Rui's thoughts and said indifferently.
"yes."
Xu Rui nodded, and then turned his gaze to the stall on the other side, the same place where the same game was also selling hot.
"Speaking of which, I think I've heard of this game."
He and Isaasa walked towards it and saw the name of the game written on the signboard: "When the Seagull Soars".
"This is a decryption game."
Yi Qianqian said, and the two approached the propaganda board to see the details of the game.
It's probably the patriarch of a big family who is critically ill and gathers a large family to come to the villa on the island, and then the cruise ship has an accident, a storm hits, and everyone is trapped on the island, and then a murder occurs, such a common reasoning bridge.
But what's interesting is that this game is released in chapters, and in the first chapter, all the characters who appear have been killed, and at the beginning of the second chapter, there is a witch, and the witch challenges the protagonist, so that he can review the whole event and find out the answer.
The game has six chapters to this year's Ningjiang Comic Con, this time selling the seventh chapter, and according to the publicity, the eighth chapter will be released in December, and at the same time, the second season of the adapted animation of the work will also be broadcast in October, that is, the mystery finally revealed in the second season will appear simultaneously with the final chapter of the game.
This kind of synchronous marketing method is very effective, Xu Rui saw that there was already a long queue in front of the booth, he thought about it, but still didn't spend time queuing.
"Hey, isn't this Director Xu Rui?"
Just as he was about to leave with Yi Qianqian, a person in the stall recognized Xu Rui and walked over with a voice.
