083.How to Write a Proposal (Part I)

Jiang Yu's home.

"Ah Yu? Are you listening? An Yilun also looked at Jiang Yu, who was dazed, stopped his tirade, and said with some dissatisfaction.

Jiang Yu came back to his senses when he heard the sound of his thoughts about the fierceness of the Phoenix Courtyard, looked at An Yilun, and said with some embarrassment: "Ah~ That, I'm sorry, Lun is also ......."

"Whew...... Forget it this time, and listen carefully when others talk in the future! Not to mention a proposal for the game you've created that we're about to make! ”

An Yilun also met Jiang Yu once or twice in such a situation. When I communicated with Sister Shiyu, who is also the author, I sometimes encountered such a situation, so I was quite familiar with it.

"Do you want to drink water?" Jiang Yu, who was laughing because of his distraction, suddenly heard a familiar voice say.

It's a bit skillful, Kato...... In this way, it turns out that the water that Lun also drank just now was also good for you, right?

While taking the water glass, Jiang Yu also complained as if he was used to it: "So you're ...... it."

Megumi Kato stroked her hair and responded calmly: "Jiang Yu always says this, I'm almost immunized~"

"Is this immune too?" Jiang Yu took the offer and continued.

Megumi Kato was still calm, and while continuing to pour water, he said: "Who knows~ Give, An Yi's share." ”

"Ah~ thank you." An Yilun also took the water cup and said gratefully.

After a few people rested for a while, An Yilun also looked at Jiang Yu with burning eyes, and said excitedly: "Hurry up and finish the plan!" After reading the previous setting, I can't wait for what twists and turns will happen in the story! ”

On the side, Megumi Kato, who was calmly playing with his mobile phone, suddenly paused, and said with some distraction: "Does the story have to be twists and turns?" ”

"What are you talking about? Kato-san! It's not okay if the story doesn't twist and turn, and the hero and heroine who haven't experienced setbacks won't have a strong sense of presence in the hearts of players! ”

An Yilun also retorted.

Megumi Kato lowered her head, looked at the water glass in front of her, and whispered: "But there are also heroines who don't expect any changes, and only think about the plain heroine, right?" ”

An Yilun also frowned, lifted his glasses, and said solemnly: "Kato-san!" It's not okay for the plot to be too bland. This will make the final ending lack depth. To put it simply, if the player plays to the end and finds that the hero and heroine are together, they give birth to 'Why are they together?' If you have such feelings, it is a definite failure! ”

Hearing that An Yilun also took a bite of "Kato-san", Jiang Yu almost thought that he was back yesterday morning. However, the surname "Kato" is very common in island countries, right?

Shaking his head a little amusedly, Jiang Yu didn't think much about it. Looking at Megumi Kato, who frowned slightly and obviously disagreed with An Yilun's views, and then looked at An Yilun, who was like a river, Jiang Yu persuaded: "Lunye, you stop for a while." Kato, do you know how many parts the song is divided into? ”

Well, then an inexplicable question was asked.

Megumi Kato looked at Jiang Yu suspiciously, obviously not understanding why he was asking this question now, but he replied anyway: "That...... Probably the prelude, climax, chorus, ending or something, right? ”

Jiang Yu patted his forehead and said with a wry smile: "I'm sorry, blame me for not expressing it clearly." Let me say it directly, in the field of music, a piece can be roughly divided into four parts: 'beginning and ending', of course, not absolutely. There is also this saying in writing articles.,Just like the "love metronome" you watched a few days ago.,Before this climax where the final male protagonist makes a choice.,Teacher Kasumi Shiko did a lot of foreshadowing in the previous narrative.。 ”

"The beginning is the cause, the inheritance is the process, the turn is the turning, and the combination is the result. If you put it in more straightforward language, it is the beginning, development, climax, and end of the novel. ”

Of course, these are just generalities. The game's plot is more protracted than traditional novels, and at the same time, it doesn't have as many twists and turns. But human beings are creatures that hate something and look forward to it. ”

"This is especially true with players. They hate tragedy, but if it is lacking, they will say that the work lacks substance. They long for the heroine to be happy, but they don't admit that happiness comes too easily. ”

"Therefore, in the traditional galgame, which is rarely seen today, the heroine carries two contradictory expectations of the players at the same time."

"They are both victims of the fun of players who are eager to see the heroine endure grief and frustration, and they are also the bearers of the emotions of players who are eager to see the happiness of the heroine."

"Of course, players can enter different routes by choosing different branches, although there are only a few endings, but the decision is in their hands, which is the biggest positive feedback that galgame games give to players."

Speaking of this, Jiang Yu found that he seemed to have deviated from the theme at the beginning, scratched his head a little embarrassedly, looked at the thoughtful An Yilun and Kato Megumi, and said a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, it seems that I said a lot of strange things, but probably from the feedback given to players, compared to ordinary happiness, the idea that you can only taste the taste of happiness more deeply in HE that has been tempered is basically common in all creations." ”

"Although, except for one TE in this work, I don't know if the other endings can be considered happy." Finally, Jiang Yu thought about it and added.

Megumi Kato was still frowning, obviously feeling unacceptable but unable to refute such a reason. An Yilun also asked: "But, isn't the specific plot in charge of the script writer?" ”

Jiang Yu nodded, shook his head again, and said, "The specific plot is indeed controlled by the script writer. However, as a planner, it is necessary to leave enough clear instructions for the original art and script to avoid the repeated revisions that may occur during the production process, and eventually lead to the situation that the specified schedule cannot be kept up. ”

"For example, the protagonist of this "Gate of Destiny Stone" is fierce, and I didn't spend a lot of time describing his appearance in detail, but only put forward my own artistic needs."

"I label him as a secondary two, a researcher, unkempt, tall, and handsome, but this alone is not clear enough, and more accurate hints need to be given, such as a white coat, messy short hair, stubble, and more specifically, you can also give him a height of height, weight, mantras, and so on."

"When the original painting reads your description, there is an intuitive image, and then make a little modification according to your own understanding, and when both parties feel that it is okay, the design of this character is considered complete."

"Of course, if the original painting feels that the image in your mind is not clear enough, you can wait until the script is written, read through the script to understand these characters more deeply, and then create."
