A week later, Jun Aeda knocked on the door of the president's office.

"President, the first draft of my script has been written, please take a look at it."

As he spoke, Brigadier Ma Zhi put the copywriting in his hand on Qing Zhiyuan's table.

"Okay." Qing Zhiyuan glanced at it, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, "You go get busy first, and I'll contact you when I finish reading." ”

"Yes, President."

Asaeda looked at his copy apprehensively, and then walked out.

Gee.

Look at the documents on the table.

Qing Zhiyuan almost burst out laughing.

This is the first son of Ma Zhizhun.

QING ZHIYUAN WAS ABUSED BY THIS GUY A LOT IN HIS PREVIOUS LIFE, WHAT "AIR", "CLANNAD", "ANGEL BEATS" ...... Each one is very tear-jerking, and Qing Zhiyuan was abused so much that he didn't want it.

Seeing this face now makes me feel the urge to punch it.

Of course, Lao Xuan is not much better.

The old knife is faster and sharper, and it is the kind that is too black to be done.

In comparison, although Ma Zhizhun's knife is also distressing, it is relatively healing and warm.

is worthy of being the sleeping dragon and phoenix chick in the hair knife world, neither of these two people is kinder than the other.

Qing Zhiyuan adjusted his sitting posture, prepared coffee for himself, and did not forget to put a box of toilet paper next to him, and then closed the door.

After being completely prepared, he opened the script of Jun Asaeda.

I saw that there were a few big words written on it, "Nest Man".

Well?

It's a brand new version that I haven't seen.

Although Qing Zhiyuan himself thinks that the chance of getting the CL script is too low, after all, the current Ma Zhi Jung's life experience is not enough in all aspects, and he is not mature in game production, so it is normal for him to not be able to reach the peak level of CL.

But he still thought it was the Great Demon King's original "MOON" or "ONE~Season of Radiance~".

It would certainly be better if AIR could be written.

But in front of him is "The Man in the Bed"

It doesn't look like a romance game no matter how you look at it.

However, it is still a little exciting for Qing Zhiyuan to see a brand new work.

I never knew what was going on

When I woke up, I became a "quilt man"

The so-called quilt man refers to a person who has a quilt on his body.

Terrible......

I actually used the word "long".

It makes me seem like an outlier.

I was sure of this for a long time, but no matter how I tore it, the quilt was still firmly attached to my body and I couldn't break free.

Although I am very homely, and I like to eat, drink and have fun under the quilt, even when I play games, I like to wrap myself in the quilt, but I never thought that one day I would actually become a quilt man. 】

……

Very interesting setting.

And it's also very much in line with Asaeda Jun's style.

Qing Zhiyuan thought to himself.

Anyone who knows a little about Lao Ma knows that the game works made by this guy are basically inseparable from a few things-

Students, beautiful girls, and baseball.

This is probably also related to the tearjerker's own life experience, he has a unique complex for the campus, and the love between boys and girls always happens in the academy.

Even a post-death work like "Angel Beats" would have to be done by a group of high school students.

So the quilt man also tells a story about a high school student.

The male protagonist became [Quilt Man] at the beginning

Literally.

The quilt grows with the body.,It's like the hero's skin.,If you want to cut it with a knife.,It's going to bleed.。

This kind of life is both funny and extremely hopeless.

And in such a situation, [Nest Man] met his destined love.

……

In terms of setting, it is not unconventional at all, even Qing Zhiyuan, who is transferred from 2023, thinks so.

He originally thought that Ma Zhi would use old methods, such as time tricks, monsters, and polluted humans...... Such elements that look more serious and dark.

However, Jun Asaeda's writing is so relaxed and pleasant, using a similar setting to Kafka's Metamorphosis, but the style is completely different.

In the world of being hated, the man in the bed is not sad and desperate, but very optimistic, and has many interesting interactions with the heroine.

……

After reading the entire script, Qing Zhiyuan closed the document and let out a heavy sigh.

How to say that?

The story is a good one, engaging, and tear-jerking, and the characters are quite delicate and richly portrayed.

Jun Asaeda's style belongs to the type of laughter with tears, one second it makes you laugh, and the next second it will make you cry out loud.

All the joy in the front has the potential to become a tear gas bomb in the back.

This piece also perfectly reflects this.

Even if the current Ma Zhizhun writing is still a little green and immature, and the story is a little thin, Qing Zhiyuan has been able to taste the unique taste of the Great Demon King.

However, there is one thing he doesn't quite understand-

The tear-jerking demon king Ma Zhizhun didn't have a knife?!

How is this possible?

Now Qing Zhiyuan finally understands what an incredible thing it is for those who think that Gu Yuan Tsubaki does not have a knife.

Although the final finale is an open-ended ending, the emotional tone has completely changed there.

Originally, Qing Zhiyuan thought that one of the male and female protagonists would inevitably die.

I didn't expect both to survive.

……

Qing Zhiyuan called Ma Zhijun into the office, served him coffee, and prepared to talk about the new project.

"I've finished reading it, and although the story is a little thin, I have to say it's a good story."

Qing Zhiyuan looked at Jun Maeda and asked, "Maeda-san (Jun Maeda's real name is Jun Maeda, which is the same as Jun Maeda), can you tell us about your creative process?" It's about writing such a script, what is the original intention, and what do you want to express in the work. ”

Some things can be understood at a glance.

However, after talking to Master Hayao Miyazaki, Seichi will pay more attention to the "creative purpose" of the work.

If it's tear-jerking for the sake of tear-jerking, don't play such a game.

But the problem is that the quilt man of the quasi-great demon king of Ma Zhi did not send a knife.

"The purpose of creation...... Jun Maeda thought for a moment and asked, "President, do you know Marvel?" ”

"Hmm." Qing Zhiyuan nodded.

Of course I know Marvel, how many Marvel-related animations and movies I watched in my previous life, can I still not know?

"I was actually inspired by Marvel superheroes." Jun Maeda said.

Ay?

Qing Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment.

Is this guy inspired by Marvel?

I thought it was Kafka.

But—

Don't you tell me you're a superhero?

Quilt man, this has nothing to do with Chaoying, okay?

From Spider-Man's point of view, it is understandable, after all, mutants are also a type of superhero.

It's just that the skills of the nest man are too wasteful, right?

has a quilt on his body, what can he do with such an ability, can he fight with Spider-Man?

"I've always had a strong feeling when watching Marvel animations."

Ma Zhijun crossed his hands and considered the words behind him, "Whether it's Spider-Man or Hulk...... After they mutate, they have super powers, and they will all become heroes who save the world. And it seems that all superheroes must have super powers. ”

"Well, that's true."

Qing Zhiyuan listened to his words and thought at the same time.

But this is the big tone of Marvel, saving the world is the fate of every superhero, it seems quite deliberate, but the problem is that the audience just likes to watch it.

Asaeda Jun smiled and said, "But actually, I don't think [superheroes] have to save the world, isn't it also a hero to save the people you like?" ”

"And why do you have to have such a powerful and destructive power? Can't there be some skills that look more wasteful, and such a mutated little person may be the hero closest to us? ”

it!

Qing Zhiyuan raised his head suddenly, and was directly shocked by Ma Zhijun's words.

Yes, this kid!

Is this the consciousness that a recent high school graduate can have?

How long has this guy been thinking about it?

Very good, very good, from Marvel's "Superheroes" to Ma Zhijun's "Garbage Mutants", and then it should be "Black Robe Pickets".

Sure enough, ideas can transcend their time.

From this point of view, Qing Zhiyuan felt that Ma Zhizhun had written what he wanted.

"Don't be a hero for all mankind, be a hero for one person, and even ordinary people can't compare to ...... in terms of ability"

Qing Zhiyuan held his chin and thought carefully, the more he thought about it, the more interesting he felt.

"Maeda-san, you're such a talented game author."

Moreover, it's not just ordinary people who have great power, it's like being a person's exclusive hero, in Ma Zhijun's "The Man in the Bed", there are other things-

It seems to be an absurd story, but there is a profound social reaction in the background.

Whether it's the [house element] or not, being rejected by others and looking at it with a strange eye...... These are all reflections of social reality.

The future of neon will enter thirty years of stagnation, and there are more and more otaku, and they may have a greater sense of identity with the quilt man.

If you don't do it well, there will be no otaku in the future, but it may be replaced by [quilt man].

And such a work has a relaxed and pleasant tone, which can be said to be very rare.

It's really not easy to get players started quickly, but the exit is high, thought-provoking, and thought-provoking.

He stood up and put the file in order and placed it on his desk.

"There's nothing wrong with your script on my side."

"Okay president, thank you, president." When Ma Zhijun heard this, he was relieved and happy like a child.

……

Now that there's a nice script.

The rest is the work of the group.

Ma Zhizhun this planning case, urban background, [waste male protagonist], doesn't even have combat effectiveness, so it can only be made into a visual type like "The Man of Reverse Degree", which is the most popular galgame method now.

But this way is actually the most suitable for him.

In a team, the art and program are okay, and when the time comes, just ask Taiji Sakata and Ken Akanishi to arrange it.

The original artist will most likely be Yokoyama, who has been in charge of "Mermaid Heart" and "The Man of Reverse Degree".

Don't worry too much about that.

Now, Qingzhiyuan's top priority is-

Who will be the producer.

……

"Huh? I'm here to be the producer, really? ”

Mika Ishino stared at a pair of big eyes, saying that she couldn't believe it at all.

At first, she was called to the office by the president, and Jun Maeda was there, and her first instinct was that nothing good must be there.

I didn't expect that she would be asked to be the producer of the new project.

Heaven has a great responsibility.

The question is –

I wasn't prepared at all.

Although Mika Ishino has been in the company for a few years, she always feels that the president prefers Mikami and Wada.

"If you're not confident, I can change people at any time." Qing Zhiyuan said lightly.

He reached out and prepared to collect the project that had been placed on the table.

"No, no, President, I mean......"

Mika Ishino was a little flustered for a while, and quickly pressed the president's hand, for fear that he would take the plan away from her.

She looked at Qing Zhiyuan uncomfortably.

President, why don't you play according to the routine?

In this case, shouldn't you encourage me a few more words, give me confidence, tell me that I am your chosen daughter, and leave it to me to be 100% assured that there is no problem?

"I will definitely redouble my efforts to live up to the expectations you have placed on me, President."

Mika Ishino hurriedly added, and then snatched the plan and hugged it tightly to her chest.

"In that case, I'll leave it to you."

In fact, Qingzhiyuan has no better choice.

Until now, the company has only been able to train Shinji Mikami, and after all, the talent and hard work of this teenager are there.

Void Yuan Xuan can't be counted on for the time being.,He's 10,000 happy if you ask him to write a script.,And he can play quite well.,It's always able to give you constant surprises.,At least from the current point of view, the stories and plots are all top-notch.。

But if you want him to be the producer, in addition to controlling the quality and progress of the game, you also need him to coordinate the program and art, and coordinate the music and sound effects...... It's not just about making products, it's more about social skills.

The project management part is a zero for Xuyuanxuan.

And as long as Lao Xuan doesn't anger the program ape and the artist, Qing Zhiyuan will already be able to sleep peacefully.

Gen Xuyuan is still very young, and he still has a long way to go on the road of being a producer.

However, it is also possible that this guy is not suitable for this path at all.

It's like some screenwriters are very good, but they can't be directors, it's a truth.

In his previous life, Xuan Yuanxuan served as the core of the project, and that was because everyone revolved around him, and the current old void weight had not yet reached this level.

Since Gen Xubuchi can't be a producer, and Shinji Mikami has two game projects in his hands, Diablo 2 and The Witcher, he simply doesn't have the extra time and energy to serve as the producer of the third game.

Then Qing Zhiyuan must consider choosing a relatively reliable one from among the other candidates.

To be precise, Qingzhiyuan's range of options is very narrow.

So far, Mika Ishino is the most suitable producer.

After all, this sister paper has been with him for the longest time, and has made the Onmyoji series, all the way to Pokémon...... It's also experienced.

The galgame itself is not difficult, and many of them are established patterns, and Mika Ishino should have the corresponding abilities.
