"Our game is in full swing!"

After everyone's nonsense, Chen Maolin said excitedly: "Of course, the main thing is to design all the scenes and characters of the game, and the workload of art is the largest...... There are also battle scenes, and we plan to make a scene to try first, mainly to verify the design of the action. ”

"Action design? Do you want a real person to do it, the kind you captured? ”

When he heard this, Sun Peng immediately asked with interest. He had a little understanding of game production before, and knew that the best thing was to directly use actors to do the movements and expressions, and then use computer technology to capture them, so when he heard Chen Maolin say it, he was immediately interested - this is a bit similar to the special effects of the movie.

"This ......"

After hesitating for a moment, Chen Maolin smiled bitterly: "We wanted to do this, but after finding some martial arts masters to try it, we found that their movements are beautiful, but they lack the sense of sharpness we need!" So until now, no suitable candidate has been found......"

"Uh, got it!"

Hearing Chen Maolin say this, Sun Peng suddenly understood.

Because Chen Maolin is also doing martial arts games for the first time, they naturally want to make a different feeling from other action RPGs, and Sun Peng's previous short film "Battle of the Warehouse" and "Dragon Gate Inn" have naturally become the main objects of imitation and reference. And in order to help Lao Bai's studio, Sun Peng also specially coordinated with Chen Muchen and Xia Qingqing, and transferred five animation masters from DreamWorks!

These five people participated in the production of the Condor Trilogy and later Tianlong animation.

But even if it's barely a beginner's action designer for martial arts animation, they're not professional game artists after all, so they can't give too constructive advice in this regard. After trying a few times, Chen Maolin couldn't afford it, and planned to use motion capture for ordinary movements or something, but the real move design was still up to the animators themselves - without the right people, there was really no good way.

But......

After thinking about it for a while, Sun Peng's eyes suddenly lit up: "That's it, I'll find you a few people when I go back...... Don't look back, I'll give them a call and ask them to try it tomorrow! ”

"Master? Who is it? ”

Listening to Sun Peng's words, Chen Maolin was suddenly a little curious.

Sun Peng smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Everyone, do you know my movie "Hero"? Ye Xing, who plays the male protagonist in it, and Liao Chen, a big supporting role, including them, I can find six or seven people. Also, if it's a female character, I can also call Liao Jingjing and Lin Lin over and ask them to do motion capture for you! ”

"What? Lin Lin?! ”

Hearing Sun Peng say this, Chen Maolin was dumbfounded.

Although Liao Chen and Ye Xing are important characters in "Hero", after all, this movie has not yet been released, and it is natural that Chen Maolin is not familiar with it. But if you think about it, you know that if you can be the protagonist in Lao Bai's big production, you must not be an ordinary person, let alone Lin Lin, a big star who has swept the world!

How can Chen Maolin afford these big guys?

It's not that celebrities are not invited out of the game circle, but most people use each other's image...... To put it bluntly, it is a face shape, which plays a role in propaganda and improving the style. At most, it's to add a dubbing, if you talk about motion capture, you must find someone else to do it, where is there a direct invitation to superstars to capture the whole process?

Oh my God, how much does that cost?!

So after a pause, Chen Maolin hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Boss, I know you have money, but you don't spend it like this!" There is no need for this......"

"Spending money? How much can it cost? ”

Without waiting for Chen Maolin to finish speaking, Sun Peng smiled and said: "Ye Xing, they are not big stars now, even if they are busy for a month or two, how much money can they spend?" A few hundred thousand for one person is enough! Lin Lin is very famous, but ...... Do you think it would cost me money to invite her to shoot some action scenes? Haha, non-existent. ”

In fact, even if they didn't give Ye Xing money, Sun Peng believed that these people would not refuse, but he felt that it was better to be clear.

After all, the person is not Lin Lin, Sun Peng can call casually.

"Uh......"

The corners of his mouth twitched a few times, and Chen Maolin was speechless.

After staying in the UK for a long time, he has become accustomed to thinking about everything from a business point of view, and naturally he has never thought that it would cost him money to ask a big star for help. But after thinking about it, if Sun Peng really invited Lin Lin over to join "The Legend of the Old White Heroes", ......

Oh my God, the game's pushes are up all at once!

"Oh, yes!"

Just when Chen Maolin was excited, Sun Peng seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "Teacher Chen, the dubbing and sound effects of the game must be in place!" Don't make it too bad...... The money that should be spent must be spent, if it doesn't work, start early, don't ignore it. ”

"Don't worry, I know."

Nodding vigorously, Chen Maolin understood Sun Peng's worries very well.

Sound effects and voice acting are an inconspicuous part of the game, but they can be very detrimental to the experience. Therefore, for those international manufacturers, they have never been stingy in this regard, but domestic game producers often ignore this intentionally or unintentionally, after all, they can't see the money spent.

So after hesitating for a moment, Sun Peng simply said directly: "That's it, then all the dubbing will be handed over to me!" It just so happens that I have a bit of a relationship with film schools and many film companies, so I will find more reliable voice actors when the time comes......"

……

After chatting about the above things for a while, Zhao Maolin finally led the topic to business.

Invite Sun Peng over today, mainly two things, one is that the plot of the entire game has been planned and sorted out by several stories, and many branches and small details have been added. The result is a 3,000-page plan with a story, dialogue, and settings, as well as simple blueprints.

These things all need Sun Peng's final decision.

Of course, Sun Peng can only understand these things today. But it was in this hour that Sun Peng understood how big the difference between the so-called and game story planning was!

The story of "Book of Swords and Enmity" was perfectly integrated into the game by the story planners.

This difficulty is not ordinary!

After all, the protagonist of the game is positioned as a traverser, but it is also the most immersive scheme for players. And if you want players to use such an identity to participate in the entire storyline of "Book of Swords and Enmity", to be honest, Sun Peng can't do it, so he can only rely on professional game screenwriters. In addition to the main line, the huge number of subplots also depends on the play of the screenwriters......

Especially those side stories that express traditional culture, it is a great test of their skills!

"In the past year, we have visited a lot of experts in this area, and we have learned a lot!"

At the end of the conversation, Chen Maolin couldn't help but sigh: "To be honest, I used to do too many games in Europe and the United States, and I almost forgot that we have too many good things in Huaxia to show players!" It took a whole year for eight screenwriters and more than a dozen planners to work together to complete this story planning book! ”

"Awesome! It's so hard! ”

secretly admired in his heart, but Sun Peng's eyes never left the planning book in his hand, and said with a wry smile: "I will definitely read it carefully and carefully...... However, although there are a lot of sketches, there are also a lot of text content, and I am afraid that I will have to read it for a week! ”

As soon as he heard his words, Chen Maolin was immediately happy: "It's okay, you watch it slowly, it's already very powerful to be able to read it in a week!" ”

"Hmm."

Nodding, Sun Peng's gaze suddenly fixed on the last part of the game...... On a sketch, to be exact.

A tomb with the word "incense mound" written on it.

And under these two big characters, there are a few lines of small characters that are not very clear - because they are design sketches, they are not written too clearly, but Sun Peng knows that it is an inscription: "Hao Hao sorrow, vast calamity, the end of the short song, the bright moon lacks ......"

On top of the tomb, a huge butterfly danced.

"Princess Xiangxiang, ......"

Thinking of the cute girl in "Book of Swords and Enmity", Sun Peng couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Maybe it was because his gaze stayed a little too long, Chen Maolin came over a little strangely and took a look, and suddenly understood: "To be honest, when designing this scene, several of our female planners cried...... What a cute, poor girl! But they designed a long section for this final scene, and it was just a soundtrack! Tsk, boss, whether this final ending can be memorable or not depends on how well you write the song. ”

"Tunes?"

Looking at the beautiful butterfly, Sun Peng's heart suddenly moved, and he raised his head and said, "What kind of song do you want?" Is it enough for a violin piece that is more classic than "One Step Away"? ”
