Chapter 231: Reading the Story of Pirated Books Killing People
In addition to the first two reasons, Gu Feng's third reason is very pure, word of mouth!
In his previous life, he didn't play only one horror game "Paper Wedding Dress", even if it was a horror game with puzzle-solving elements, he had played no less than five kinds, but in the end, the reason why he didn't hesitate too much after thinking of "Paper Wedding Dress" was because of word of mouth.
In his impression, the five works in this series should almost all have come out in two or three years, except for the first work "Hospital No. 13", which has a slightly lower score of only a few points, and the follow-up "Paper Wedding Dress" 1, 2, 3, and 4 tetralogy all have high scores of more than nine points.
Whether it's a plan or a temporary idea after seeing the results, it's nothing new to have a sequel after an excellent work.
But most people who have access to the Internet at home have such a concept in their hearts, that is, it is difficult for the sequel to beat the previous work.
This is actually the same reason that classic film and television dramas are not good to remake.
When a work is successful, a sequel or remake can certainly bring a very high topic and traffic, but in this case, the audience or players will naturally look at the new work with a higher standard, there is a successful work on the side as a reference, the times are advancing, technology is advancing, and it always makes no sense for your later work to be worse than the previous work, right?
But facts have proved that in most cases, a work in the first work is indeed already bright all the hole cards, if the follow-up work is to fry new dishes with old ideas, it will inevitably be disappointing after losing the mind, and it feels like there is no progress, but if you find another way to seek new ideas, unless the idea is really good enough, it is very easy to appear that the audience and players do not buy it, and the innovation is not successful.
Just think about it, so how many works with more than four works in the series can consistently maintain a high level of high reputation? If you think about it, what are the names of the series that can maintain a high level of production as always. Maybe you can better understand how difficult it is to make a good series.
So, why did "Paper Wedding Dress" succeed, from the perspective of Gu Feng as a player who has cleared the whole series of works, the reasons are naturally many.
First, it is a puzzle that is of appropriate difficulty and not fun.
Second, the inextricably linked and interlocking plots are intertwined.
Third, excellent original music.
Fourth, while satirizing feudal marriage customs, it forms a strong contrast between the beauty of true love and the ugliness of feudal marriage customs, and sublimates the idea.
Fifth, the shaping of the protagonist's personality is usually ignored in horror games.
Even though more than a year has passed, and a few years have passed since playing "Paper Wedding Dress", when it comes to this game, Gu Feng can still recall a lot of things.
For example, the second-generation heroine Tao Mengyan, who was nicknamed Tao Mengyan, was scolded by the air people, such as the theme song "Mandarin Duck Debt" that made people get goosebumps when they heard it in the third generation, such as Shaoping, who played a lifelong general who sacrificed his life for love to save the heroine......
"Paper Wedding Dress" is a good interpretation to the world, people are always easy to see and remember what is less.
In reality, people can see all kinds of scandals from the news every day, as if the society is dark, but in fact, in reality, there are always many good people, but good deeds and good deeds are subconsciously ignored by people.
And in the terrifying atmosphere of the game, at the end of the game, the horror in the game is always forgotten very quickly, but the beauty of human nature still shines after the time passes.
This is not a hint of inspiration for the producers, and a hint of reflection for the players.
Gu Feng didn't carefully study the plot of the entire series, but he also roughly knew the story background of the game.
The protagonist of each part of the "Paper Wedding Dress" series is basically more or less related to a village, this village is Zangling Village, this village was originally called Miasma Village, and the origin of the village name is because there is a flower in the village called Stydolan, whose floral fragrance can turn into miasma and make people sick.
Tang Dynasty holy monk Xuanzang returned from a trip to the west, stayed here for a long time to treat the villagers, he was in danger of demons when he read the scriptures in the village, and later found that only three of the nine Tibetan scriptures in the village are true scriptures, and the remaining six Tibetan scriptures are not Buddhist scriptures, but like a pagan classic in Tianzhu that has perished, it is a magic book, and should not be in the world.
At this time, the court called him back quickly, and it happened that the villagers' illnesses were almost no longer serious, so Xuanzang asked the village chief to burn all the six Tibetan magic books, and left the magic bell to bury it in the village to suppress the evil spirit, and then left, and therefore, the name of the village was changed to bury the bell village.
But the village chief had evil thoughts, and did not follow the instructions left by Xuanzang at all, but spread the magic book to manipulate people's hearts, and created the Liuzang Bodhisattva, so that all the names of the village believed in the cult, and the god they believed in was naturally this Liuzang Bodhisattva fabricated out of thin air, that is, the burial honor.
The village chief claims to be the Great Witch Sage, and his duty is to be the spokesperson of the funeral in the world, responsible for passing on the funeral orders.
Under the guidance of the village chief, a strange custom has been passed down in the village, that is, the yin woman born in the village is designated as the paper bride, and when the woman grows up, she is burned to death by fire and sacrificed to the funeral honor.
And the story of this series basically revolves around several heroines who were chosen as paper brides.
To put it simply, Xuanzang found that there were six pirated books mixed in the Nine Tibetan Scriptures in this village, and Xuanzang, as a genuine reader who never looked at pirated copies, obviously couldn't bear this situation.
So, he told the village chief, "It's wrong for you to see piracy, hurry up and burn the pirated books, and look at the genuine ones in the future and be a new person."
But the village chief is in disobedience, he thinks that the books are all here, regardless of his genuine pirated versions, what is he not reading? The village chief, who has lived for dozens of years, seems to have entered a rebellious period, you Xuanzang is a genuine reader? It's not your family book that you burned, of course you don't feel distressed, don't let me see the pirated version, right, eh, I'll read it, I not only read it, but also share it with other people in the village, so that everyone can read it together.
Well...... In short, this tells the story of a person who kills people by reading pirated books......
Of course, there are also things in the story that make people complain, for example, the male and female protagonists in several works seem to coincidentally live in the same community, and they all coincidentally study at the same university, what can Gu Feng say about this, he can only give a thumbs up and praise "Hmm...... Feng Shui is good".
After deciding to do "Paper Wedding Dress", whether to do all of them or only one or two of them is also a question that Gu Feng needs to consider.
Since you have chosen this game, it is better not to do such a lack of virtue as telling a complete story.
But if you really want him to choose to do it all, the quality of several works is actually different, and when he makes them all, he always feels a little uncomfortable.
Like "Hospital No. 13", Gu Feng excluded it after a little thought, and it can be used as an easter egg to fill the story details into the game in a fragmented form, and forget it.
After thinking about it for a long time, Gu Feng planned to do only two of them, namely "Paper Wedding Dress 2 Zangling Village" and "Paper Wedding Dress 3 Mandarin Duck Debt".
The reason, of course, is simple and crude enough, these two are the best, this is not only his personal senses, but also from the rating.
