Chapter 199: Are You in Charge of Dead Space?
Starring in the game?
Operation Officer Liu smiled.
Director Jin also smiled.
For Operation Officer Liu, whether it is an important role or a main role, it is actually the same. This is not a difficult task, and there are many conditions for appreciation in it.
As long as the price is right, the replacement of the Cypriot people is just a 'high-level request', and the development team has to do it anyway.
In the same way, when the money is in place, even the plot can be modified for you.
That's what Operation Officer Liu thinks.
After all, a product that makes money can satisfy Party A.
And Jin Dao feels even more normal.
As a person who is in the film and television industry, it is commonplace to temporarily change the protagonist.
Especially in the film and television industry, it is normal for the original protagonist to be replaced.
After all, business has to be done, and favors have to be sold.
If the audience doesn't buy it and makes a fuss, then as long as you find a random reason, such as a scandal, you can make most of the audience and reveal the change of the protagonist.
Then the photos were filmed, the stills were broadcast, and someone always bought it.
Then the game should be no exception.
It's just a different role, what's the big deal?
For the sake of political correctness, the foreign film and television industry even changed the role to a black person.
Is there a problem?
After Operation Officer Liu confirmed that Director Jin chose "Time to Die", the exchange came to an end.
Because the next conversation involves cooperation, we have to choose an elegant place to start talking.
Jin Dao did not finish the tirade behind the technical game network press conference. The purpose of his coming here has been achieved, and he can't understand it if he stays, so it's better to go back and rest early.
So he said hello to Operation Officer Liu and got up to leave.
Now that the conditions have been proposed, let's wait for the situation on the side of Infinite Internet Entertainment.
They agreed, then they would pay some money on their side, win the film and television adaptation rights and the number of protagonists, and start building momentum for the newcomer's debut.
If you don't agree, that's fine, anyway, there's a "Bloody Scientist" here that hasn't been released yet, so you can talk to them when the time comes.
In short, the meaning of Jin Dao is very simple.
Games are just a tool for newcomers.
Since it is a tool, you can choose multiple choices, and whoever is good will want whom.
No matter how hot and sought after this tool is, it is nothing more than a matter of spending a little more money.
In the long run, the benefits that a traffic artist can bring are completely negligible in the early stage.
In business, no one will have trouble with money.
After Director Jin left, Operation Officer Liu began to ask his secretary to check the information related to the game "Time of Death".
Then after listening to the whole press conference, I went back to the hotel to rest non-stop.
Early the next morning, the secretary sent a message.
Her first words were that there was no game called Dead Time in the company, not even any information about it, including the name.
But there is a game with a highly similar name, called Dead Space.
So the secretary asked if Liu always remembered the wrong name?
Seeing the reply, Operation Officer Liu was a little stunned.
Oh... It turned out to be called "Dead Space"...
That's fine, it doesn't matter what it's called.
The important thing is that Infinite Net Entertainment has this game.
Then, Operation Officer Liu learned from his secretary that the game "Dead Space" was just a pre-promotion project.
That is, one of the promotions that the company will implement in the future, and its main person in charge is the director of the second product operation department.
Given that the game doesn't have any operational promotion plans yet, it's almost a 'registered placeholder' in the company.
After learning about it, Operation Officer Liu understood that this was still in the early stage of development, so there was not much information in all aspects, and it was not comprehensive enough.
But it doesn't matter, he believes that as soon as the time is up, the game will be sent to him in the form of a report via internal email for approval.
But that's all for later.
Now you have to take advantage of the development stage of the game, quickly contact the person in charge and the development team, and tell them that they are ready to change the starring role.
As for film and television adaptation rights...
As long as he talks with Director Jin, the price is right, the contract is complete, and he can sign and seal it himself.
After all, he's the chief operating officer.
He can directly make decisions on many projects that do not affect the company's operations, and only need to report the results to the CEO and president afterwards.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
He doesn't need to personally approve and sign it, let alone Chairman Liang.
But correspondingly, he needs to take responsibility for the consequences.
This is the downside of the COO position.
After confirming the existence of the game project "Dead Space", Operation Officer Liu contacted Director Jin and made an appointment with him to meet him...
At this time, Meng Shu, who was in the deep city, couldn't think of it.
"Dead Space", which has not yet started production, has been targeted for copyright.
Now he is very busy.
Due to the expansion of the company and the increase in personnel, the work that could have been completed in a few days has been greatly reduced.
He was dizzy when he saw the huge amount of art resources, and all kinds of weird creatures began to have aesthetic fatigue.
However, the degree of completion is quite high, which makes Meng Shu very satisfied.
There are also scene elements, under the control of art director Fang Yuancheng, all kinds of decay and old village buildings have taken shape one by one.
Especially on the original design drawing, it shows a sense of barrenness and backwardness.
If you put it in a game, it looks absolutely good.
Meng Shu even thinks that if the concept design book is sold separately, it should be attractive.
But think about it, forget it, you can send it as a free peripheral.
After reading the art resources submitted by the employees, Meng Shu returned some of the ones that needed to be modified.
The rest was directly thrown into the monkey development tool by him to convert into high-definition materials.
After it was done, he looked at Chen An's task design again.
A total of 14 tasks were submitted.
There are 10 random encounters and 4 side quests.
Before this, Meng Shu had already shown Chen An the revised VR version of the game script.
So he should be very aware of the difference in plot between the VR version and the PC version of "Dark Forest".
I believe that there should be no mistakes in the design of the task.
So, Meng Shu spent more than two hours watching all 14 task processes.
Then he raised his head and rubbed his swollen head.
I picked up the glass of water again, took a sip, and breathed a sigh of relief.
It's kind of interesting.
This was Meng Shu's first thought after reading the task process.
Since there is already a PC version of "Dark Forest", the task designed by Chen An this time can be described as imaginative.
None of the 14 missions are based on the original game.
All new quests!
One of them even impressed, or rather surprised, him.
It was a side quest numbered NEW-013, tentatively named [Repeat].
The process in it mainly talks about the ending of the mole team's mission in the forest.
After reading this task repeatedly, Meng Shu couldn't help but express his admiration for Chen An.
I didn't expect him to be able to combine the strange environment in the forest to design such a task to show human nature.
It really satisfied him.
But he was also curious as to why the mission of humanity had chosen the Mole Squad instead of the inhabitants of the forest.
For this reason, Meng Shu specially asked Chen An.
As a result, the latter's answer made his eyes shine.
"Mr. Meng, what do you think, this forest is full of mystery and weirdness, if the danger is placed on ordinary residents, then players can guess that they will die with their toes, so there is nothing new in the whole process."
"But it's different with the Mole Squad, they're armed, they're disciplined, they're the Control Bureau's task force. For people like them who carry firearms and weapons, players generally feel that they can survive and feel safe. But if even the armed ones are in danger because of the strangeness of the forest, it will give the players a sense of despair that they have no firepower but are powerless to resist, and the original sense of security will be lost. It also plays a contest between modern science and the eerie occult, allowing players to experience the horror that cannot be explained by science. ”
For Chen An's explanation, Meng Shu was very satisfied.
This [Repeat] task was also changed by him to [Voice].
Meng Shu believes that in the bizarre forest world, this quest will definitely allow players to feel the insecurity of life while witnessing the evil of human beings.
This is a large-scale side quest, and it seems that Chen An's level has risen a lot.
Meng Shu returned to the office and continued to browse through the list of tasks submitted.
Suddenly, an idea occurred to him.
Since it's all set in the forest, why not bury the classic work that was a sensation in the original world in 1999 as the mission easter egg...
Thinking of this, the corners of Meng Shu's mouth cracked, and he plunged into the computer and began to design an encounter mission that could lead to another game...
And in Infinite Net Entertainment, the busy director received a message on the internal network...
The first sentence made her frown.
[Hello Director, I'm the COO secretary assistant of the Operations Department, are you in charge of "Dead Space"?] ]
