Chapter 102: The End of Film and Television Is the Game?
The last person to speak was a young man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, with messy hair, a thin body, and thick eyes.
And his speech is also very in line with the personality of the gamer.
"The Internet is a mirror that illuminates people's seven emotions and six desires. The business of the future will belong to those businesses that can create joy for people and maximize the release of people's innermost emotions. ”
"And games are the business that can best carry people's entertainment needs."
Someone frowned: "You're talking about online games?" ”
"Yes."
"Don't you know that "The Fire of the Plain", known as the first large-scale online game in China, was sprayed into garbage by players after only half a day of its launch - even if it eats up all the bandwidth, the game characters are still stuck like shadow puppetry; A normal computer configuration that runs like a horse-drawn train; The rendered sawtooth and mosaic are comparable to the island AV......"
The driver, apparently an old driver, caused a burst of laughter.
At present, it is still the era of console games, the online game industry is just starting, the number of products and players is scarce, and the development of online games is tantamount to opening up wasteland.
"Prairie Fire" can be called the first large-scale online game in China, however, instead of "burning the plain" after its launch, it was sprayed into shit by players, which greatly hit the confidence of the online game industry.
The young man also hooked the corners of his mouth and said lightly: "I didn't say that I was going to play a large-scale online game at the beginning." It's best to start with small games, such as casual competitive games, which rely on social connections and are very convenient for matching with friends, which is a good fit for our social communication software. ”
"How do you make a profit? The free model is not profitable, and the paid model is not popular, what are you doing? ”
The young man laughed and said, "The biggest charm of the Internet is that there is no impossibility." Attract users, and then set up some paid props, how can no one fall into the pit? ”
"Eventually, though, we had to develop a big online game. In terms of game depth and playability, the world view of large-scale online games is larger and the growth line is richer; And as a way to socialize, whether it's fighting with others or having fun with everyone, it's easier to attract players to buy props. ”
He waved his hand and interrupted what someone wanted to say, and his voice was much louder: "I know that you are going to talk about "The Fire of the Plain" again, but don't look at the world in a year or two from now. ”
"I don't know if you have noticed, the speed of domestic broadband fixed network upgrade far exceeds the level of previous years, and most of the new Internet users in the past two years are using high-speed broadband, which means that the full explosion of the online game market may be within a few years!"
His words made almost everyone fall into thought.
At this time, Wang Wei spoke up: "Why did you choose online games?" According to what you said, broadband fixed networks have been upgraded, and TV and movies can also be moved to the Internet, aren't these two of the two entertainment options with the widest audience at present? ”
Everyone at the scene turned their attention to Wang Wei, and then shifted to the young man.
As we all know, the big boss of Weibo Technology has another identity - director, well, he is also the boss of a film and television company, how to answer this?
Suddenly being "named" by the big boss, the young man was obviously a little nervous, and after a pause, he replied: "Because I think that in the Internet era, the end of film and television is also a game." ”
Wang Wei's face was calm, and he motioned for him to continue speaking.
As if encouraged, he settled up a little and continued: "To a certain extent, film and television are 'dead', no matter how developed the worldview is, it is a limited perspective of God, the audience can see everything, but they can only watch it. ”
"The game, on the other hand, is 'alive', a world where everything is about the player himself. Even if there is a quest line, players can still count the stars, look at the scenery, and chat in the virtual world every day, regardless of the clues; Even if you can only follow the plot, players can still come back again after clearing the level, and use it as a feeling of death to challenge various difficult gameplay postures......"
This is a veteran player!
Perhaps it was the entry into the role, the tension in the young man gradually disappeared, and when the future was spoken, there was an incomprehensible brilliance behind the lenses.
"Therefore, with the development of technology, it is inevitable that games will go from learning from film and television art to gradually transcending film and television - in addition to telling a moving story, but also providing a more immersive interactive experience - which is inevitable."
"Even, the game of the future may be a virtual world that is completely realistic, a world so realistic that you can deceive all your senses, and in which you can enjoy everything you can imagine - it's hard to tell whether this is entertainment or reality." ”
Lao Wang's eyes widened first, good guy, you are poisoned by science fiction movies, right?
Others don't know what to do – it sounds reasonable, but I suspect you're deceiving investors!
- What a storyteller!
Only the curvature of the corners of Wang Wei's mouth is getting bigger and bigger.
He knew how accurate the young man's deduction was, nay, even terrifyingly accurate!
In the Internet era, the film and television production that has been going on for a hundred years does seem to have a weak narrative;
Games that can carry more content and technology have shown vigorous vitality.
On the one hand, this dynamic difference is reflected in the ever-increasing overall output value, and on the other hand, the increasing dependence of film and television creation on the game industry, from technology to IP.
People's entertainment mentality has also changed, or entered a new level - from "what to watch", to "not to watch", and then to "what to play and how to play" in the future.
Even this young man's last dream-like imagination is actually becoming a reality step by step, and there is also an exclusive name - "Metaverse"!
This is a talent with a cross-media imagination!
After the crossing, Wang Wei has not found this kind of talent around him, Lao Wang and they are at most excellent executors, but it is this young man who was inadvertently discovered that makes his eyes light up.
Why does he place so much importance on "cross-media imagination"?
Because Wang Wei also believes that as the technology matures, the boundaries between film and television and games become more and more blurred, and they will eventually merge into one.
But this process of transformation and integration requires cross-media imagination.
"Metaverse" is still a little too far away - until he wears it, "metaverse" is still a concept floating in the sky.
However, the "film and game linkage" that has not been successful in another time and space can be used as a reference.
Thinking like this, Wang Wei looked at the young man with a smile and said, "If I put you in charge of implementing your ideas, do you dare?" ”
The young man was directly stupid.
Let me implement my ideas? Doesn't that mean let me be in charge of the game business?
However, I'm just starting the job, and you don't even know my name......
……
I wish my family a happy National Day holiday~~~
