595. On the verge of collapse
Three days ago, Jiang Yu and the others were walking west in the east of Arashiyama in Kyoto.
In the office building of the "Red Zhu Project", a meeting room that is only open to a few people is filled with a tense atmosphere.
Ying Lili's lips were pursed, and her knuckles turned white as she pressed her hands the drawing she had just examined and barely passed on the condition of "revising forty percent of it".
Of course, she wasn't angry that she was criticized for her work, or that she was overwhelmed by the amount of work she would have to do later.
It is better to say that the room where two other people are reverberating now, and the debate between you and meβin fact, it doesn't hurt to say that one of them is simply picking and ridiculingβreally makes her sit still. And in the very center of the whirlpool, the girl who bears all this is also the source of her nervousness and fear.
This wasn't the first time the three of them in the room had gathered to discuss, and it wasn't the first time that Ying Lili had heard those seemingly never-ending ugly words from that powerful and powerful woman. But of course, this is not something that can be used to naturally, and at the same time, it is probably not something that everyone can afford every time.
"Boring."
The cold-faced, mature-looking, but somewhat unkempt adult woman slapped a stack of manuscript papers on the table.
Shi Yu gritted his teeth, frowned, and asked, "Tsk...... Where? β
"Heh......" Akasaka Zhuyin sneered, did not answer, and said to himself, "It's boring, it's really boring!" That's what you're going to show me, to the players? Kasumi Shiko-sensei? β
Shi Yu seemed to want to stand up for a moment, but soon forcibly held back her anger, but there was still a little gloom in her words: "You mean, my script is so boring?" β
"It's rubbish."
Akasaka Zhuyin unceremoniously gave such an evaluation.
"Tsk."
So, it was another smacking of the lips that was quite rude and impatient for a girl.
Hongsaka Zhuyin's expression was calm, but there was anger in his eyes, he looked directly at Shi Yu, his tone was strong, and his words were sinister: "Is that the one?" Because the man you like is going to play with your old love and new love, so your mind runs away? β
Out of a certain psychology, Akasaka Zhuyin also seems to pay considerable attention to the club where she poached the original painting and screenwriter at one time.
Shiyu stubbornly looked at Hongsaka Zhuyin and said unswervingly: "Regarding creation, I haven't released water once. β
The tone wasn't strong, it wasn't hysterical, but it really conveyed the fact that "I've always done my best."
However, Akasaka Zhuyin didn't appreciate it, it was better to say that she seemed to understand something, and a cruel smile appeared on her face: "So, is it simply a lack of ability?" Ah~ Your nature is even worse. β
For Akasaka Zhuyin, who has always advocated that "the value of a creator is to keep creating excellent works", such a result is probably more unacceptable than Shiyu being distracted by other things.
And the subtext she contains in it is naturally - if you can't create a creator of excellent works, then quit.
Hearing this, the girl who was indifferent to Akasaka Zhuyin's previous words suddenly trembled her whole body, even if she still tried to straighten her back, but it still gave people a sense of crumbling.
"No...... No......"
Shi Yu tried to refute, but in the end, what he said was only a pale and weak defense.
This sensible, black-bellied, excessive, calm, unhurried, like to play tricks on people, and occasionally show a very gentle side, when she meets an adult woman who is even darker and more radical than herself, she becomes helpless, small and fragile.
"Hey! Give me enough to stop! Ying Ri Ri interjected with worry and anger, "Akasaka Zhuyin! We're your employees, right? Give me a little more specificity and discuss it more rationally! β
β¦β¦ Yes, at this moment, Shi Yu seems to be more unreliable, more small, and more fragile than Ying Lili.
Hongsaka Zhuyin thought for a few seconds when he heard this, as if he was answering Ying Lili's question, and it seemed that he was just talking to himself: "Actually, I don't like to interfere too much in the field of writers. But...... Well, is there no way? When I met a useless writer, I had to teach it from scratch. β
Shiyu glared at Hongsaka Zhuyin fiercely, gritted his teeth, and didn't say a word.
Ying Li Li felt the air that seemed to be heavier and more sinister than just now, and thought with some regret, did she say the wrong thing just now?
But some words, once spoken, can never be undone.
It's like ...... This spring, she and her decision in general.
The focus of the next discussion between Akasaka Zhuyin and Shiyu is the ending of the final boss of the new "Chronicles of the World" this time, Firunand.
Firunand, who was active nearly a hundred years ago, was both a nobleman and a magician.
Of course, as a character who appears in the pen of Shi Yu, who is stained with a lot of Jiang Yu's style and ideas, and also has his own persistence and perseverance, he also has his own complex past, with a side of hatred and cursing, and a side that makes people cry and sad.
The ending written by Shiyu is to defeat the other party's protagonist and his party, and to help Firunand, who is in the center of the world's distortion in the castle that is gradually crumbling.
For a moment, Frunand stretched out his hand, but eventually, with a serene smile, he lowered his hand again.
As a big boss who set off a series of ultimate goals that are nothing more than "destroying the world", he finally unexpectedly and reasonably, at the expense of himself, became the cornerstone of saving the world.
If you want to summarize this ending, it is full of Kasumi's style. The slight sweetness is mixed with a slight bitterness, and the slight sadness is mixed with a slight joy.
Hongsaka Zhuyin tapped his fingers on the tabletop and said with a sigh: "Sure enough, it's really not interesting at all, it's boring." β
"Why......"
Shi Yu didn't know how many times he asked this question today.
Akasaka Zhuyin stared at Shiyu with an aggressive gaze, and said in a warm tone: "Then, let's give you specific instructions - cut Firunand to pieces and feed it to the monster or something; Otherwise, help him well and let him live happily ever after. β
Shi Yu was speechless, and only said after a while: "This way, no matter which one is impossible...... The foundation of the accumulated story will crumble. β
On the way to this ending, the foreshadowing carefully and carefully planted, the things that are carefully and delicately weaved...... How can these things, which represent the painstaking efforts of the creators, be easily destroyed?
Hongsaka Zhuyin was unmoved, and said in a cold tone: "Then, destroy all the foundation you said and write it from scratch." I'll wait for you for another two weeks. β
Shi Yu's lips trembled slightly, and he suppressed his anger and said, "...... Are you kidding? β
Akasaka Zhuyin glanced at Shiyu a little strangely, as if wondering why the other party couldn't understand such a simple matter. Then, she said, "Just kidding, it's you who say such unfounded and unconfident words, right?" β
"A little pathetic final boss? In the end, rehabilitation? But can't even be saved? Feeling happy? A little bitter? A bit of an adult ending? β
"Hahahaha...... What, what is this? It's boring! It's all half-baked! It's like a knife that's not sharp enough! It's just a foolish work that puts subtle pressure on the player! There is no sense of exhilaration, and there is no sense of despair. Really, nothing! β
Shiyu was expressionless as she endured the criticism, or rather judgment, from Akasaka Zhuyin. But what her heart looks like at this moment, whether it is full of holes, I'm afraid even she doesn't know very well.
"Subtle bitterness, subtle astringency, subtle saltiness, and subtle sweetness...... Your script, at best, is just spices! Are you underestimating entertainment games? Akasaka Zhuyin waved his hand and said fiercely, "Perhaps, you think that unfolding like this is the depth of the story?" But let me tell you, your story isn't depth, it's miscellaneous! β
Ying Li Li wanted to refute, wanted to say, "Isn't this a good story?" But she couldn't say anything at all.
She looked at Shi Yu a little anxiously, as if she wanted to remind the other party, and shouted frantically in her heart - talk back! Refute it! Get angry! Take out your usual look!
- Then why can't I say it myself?
Suddenly, Ying Lili suddenly thought of this question.
She turned her head a little stiffly to look at Akasaka Zhuyin, who was still talking happily.
"If you're going to make the player cry, go on with a thorough and neat attack! Write me the kind of script that makes the prickly guy scoff at it, and makes the self-proclaimed critic show a rejection reaction, a direct, lengthy, one-of-a-kind script! β
"Write me a story that makes seventy percent of players cry and makes thirty percent of players annoyed!"
"Ninety percent of players are amazed by the connoisseur script or anything, and there is no need for anything at all! How many players do you think will support this kind of game? β
In fact, it's not just the script. Commercial games that can sell well are usually the best in one or several aspects. At the same time, the most taboo thing about commercial games is also the so-called hybrid, the advantages of various big-selling games are spliced together, if the producer's own skills are not enough, then it will only become a scum of the four dislikes.
Then, looking at Akasaka Zhuyin, Yingli suddenly understood - because how serious this person is? The enthusiasm and enthusiasm she showed made it impossible for people to even scold her happily.
ββ¦β¦ Try to think of me as Frunand. Akasaka Zhuyin's tone became softer, but the enthusiasm he showed remained undiminished, "In that case, you can tear it from the depths of your heart, right?" Can you laugh and dismantle at the same time? β
"Or do you want me to live happily ever after? Hahahahaββ! β
β¦β¦
By the time you get on the train, the city of Tokyo is already bustling with activity.
The brief consultation took place early in the morning, and why...... Naturally, it was Shiyu and Yingli Lili who both rushed several all-nighters to come up with the work of this discussion. Even in the company building of "Red Zhu Project", the two of them have an exclusive lounge.
Ying Lili looked at Shi Yu who was walking beside her expressionlessly, and after thinking for a long time, she finally spoke: "After going back and resting, let's have a video conference in the evening, right?" β
Shi Yu was silent, and he didn't even change his expression.
"Just the two of us, let's let that guy fight speechless, right?"
Ying Lili seems to be fighting the same enemy, as if she is Shiyu's comrade-in-arms and companion, clamoring to cut off the enemy's head together.
But in fact, these two creators at the same level in "SimplePlanSoftware", at least so far, have been distinguished in the eyes of "Marz" employees.
Ying Li Li is making rapid progress at an intimidating pace, and her evaluation among them is also skyrocketing. In addition, the publicity department of "Global Chronicles" has released her new main visual on the game magazine and the official homepage, which makes the players' sense of anticipation continue to rise.
And for the evaluation of Shiyu...... is probably regarded as a "popular writer" who became a smash hit by writing love stories.
In other words, the name is not true.
At the same time, now that Yingli Li's painting has been recognized by Akasaka Zhuyin, her script can only be evaluated as "boring".
Probably, except for the person concerned, no one can understand how much pressure Shi Yu is carrying.
Whenever you see an existence that used to rely on your own determination to move forward, and suddenly start to spread your wings and soar, but you can't keep up with the pace smoothly, it must be a very uncomfortable thing.
"No problem! If it's you, you can definitely beat her! β
Ying Lili looked at Shi Yu tenderly, cheering her on. Just like what she did to herself.
"You'll be able to write it! Not lost to Akasaka Zhuyin...... Stories that don't lose to anyone......"
ββ¦β¦ Uhh......h
Shi Yu finally gave a reaction, but that reaction made Ying Lili startled.
"Whoaa......a Hiss, woo......"
Ying Lili showed a helpless warm smile, as if she was a young woman watching a child splash and roll, and her right hand gently stroked Shi Yu's back.
"You...... I couldn't hold back until I got on the train...... It's unbelievably stubborn. β
At this moment, the image of these two people in the past seems to have been reversed.
The few passers-by in the carriage raised their heads in surprise when they heard this slightly suppressed cry and looked at this scene.
β¦β¦
That night, the two did not have any video conferences. In the next three days, occasionally the messages sent by Yingli Li were all lost.
So, Ying Lili, who was restless and felt that she had this responsibility and obligation, called Jiang Yu on the evening three days later, after hesitating again and again.
