181. Defend yourself yourself?!
However, Qing Zhiyuan did not pin all his hopes on Lao Xuan and Ma Zhizhun.
After all, the work still has to be carried forward.
Leave it to Lao Xuan and Asako to think about the game they want to make.
Qingzhiyuan also has its own games that it wants to make.
Overall, Qing Zhiyuan is ready to take two steps next.
Mikami and Lao Xu's side, they will continue to develop the sequel to "The Witcher", and when there is a plan, they will set up the project.
Ma Zhizhun on his side, Qing Zhiyuan let him think about the new game script by himself, and then start work after he has a good script.
Then, Qing Zhiyuan called Mika Ishino into the office.
……
After entering the president's office, Mika Ishino had a sense of foreboding, because every time the president called herself into the office alone, she would be given a lot of tasks.
It was the same when I was a quilt boy before, and it was the same when I was doing CL and LL later.
CL and LL, Mika Ishino is still the executive mastermind.
Qing Zhiyuan said, who made you my royal executive?
If I don't look for you, who else can I find?
Qing Zhiyuan likes Ishino a lot because she is a good executor.
Otherwise, if you let them do it with Xuan Xuyuan and Mikami, they may end up making something beyond expectations.
They have a lot of ideas, sometimes positive, but it's hard to say what will happen when they get out of control.
The executor itself is not a derogatory term, because to be able to carry it out and realize the ideas in Qing Zhiyuan's head, it just shows that Mika Ishino is a talented producer.
However, thanks to the blessing of Qing Zhiyuan.
Mika Ishino is now a well-known producer.
However, it is also thanks to the blessing of Qing Zhiyuan.
Mika Ishino has received the second largest blade in the company after Furuhara Tsubaki.
And during the period when Furuhara Tsubaki retired, Ishino had the most blades.
"President, are you going to make a new game this time?" After Mika Ishino entered the president's office, she obediently took out her notebook and began to prepare to take notes.
Qing Zhiyuan frowned, this guy will actually answer?
"Hmm. That's right. ”
Qing Zhiyuan nodded, "The company can't live without new projects, so I thought of a plan by myself, but I need you to help me realize it, and you will be the producer of the new project, and you can pull the team wherever you want." ”
"Oh." Mika Ishino nodded calmly.
but there was a sorrow in my heart.
Good guy, the president, this hateful bastard, used to show her at least the script outline first when doing projects, but now he doesn't even have a script outline and just lets people take over the job?
President, you're getting lazy and lazy.
"So what is this new project?" Mika Ishino asked.
"To the Moon"
"Huh?" Ishino raised his head and stared at Qing Zhiyuan with wide eyes, waiting for his next description.
You can't just go to the moon, right?
……
"To the Moon" is a visual game produced by Gao Kan and the independent game development team Freebird Games, which can also be regarded as a galgame.
Released in 2011, the game is actually very simple, so simple that it can be achieved even on the red and white machines of the 90s.
The pixel-art game is also not complicated with combat, and the game is played through RPG performance and character dialogue, which is full of elements of decryption and clue collection.
It's a pixel art miniature game with a few hours of progress and no real combat;
However, this work has won many praises for its exquisite and delicate performance effects and touching story development.
In particular, in 2011, GameSpot's Game of the Year won the Best Screenplay Award, beating Catherine, Portal 2 and many other masterpieces.
The game is known for its "touching and macho crying".
Qingzhiyuan developed it also because Go to the Moon is a very good game, and it is relatively simple, with a short development cycle, which can fill the gap in Pokeni without new development projects this year in a short time.
"I'm going to tell you the story in normal chronological order first, but then you're going to make it a flashback time puzzle game." Qing Zhiyuan said to Mika Ishino.
"Okay president." Shi Ye nodded, and the whole person tensed up a little, listening to Qing Zhiyuan's story intently.
More than an hour has passed.
When Qing Zhiyuan finished telling the whole story of "To the Moon", Mika Ishino was already crying in the conference room.
"Woooooooooo......oo It's so touching. ”
"Even if you don't have a script outline, you can still create such an interesting and touching story."
"Isn't that right?"
Qing Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, and he smiled and handed the tissue to Mika Ishino, "Are you confident that you can do it well this time?" ”
"I don't have the confidence to do a good job, but I'll do my best." Ishino said.
Qing Zhiyuan: "......"
"President, I'll do my best."
Dead pigs are not afraid of boiling water.
Anyway, Mika Ishino has already sent a lot of blades, so it doesn't matter if there are more.
"So I can pick my own team, right?" Mika Ishino asked.
"Hmm."
"So I want Wada to be the script writer for me, okay?"
"Nope."
"......" Mika Ishino is full of black lines, and the team that I said just now is self-chosen.
"Maeda can give it to you." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Anyway, you have worked together so many times, and his style of writing is actually more suitable for this game than Hetian." Wada is too dark to be written as a horror story. ”
"Oh, too."
But Maeda doesn't seem to be much better.
"Is the soundtrack still looking for Shirakawa?"
"Hmm."
"Can I have more than one artist?"
"No, why do you want so many people to do a galgame, do you understand the standard configuration? Otherwise, continue Yokoyama and Ono, and let Akaxi-san find a program for you to support by the way, it's almost. ”
“……”
Ishino said it was uncomfortable.
How familiar is this set of configurations.
"The Man in the Bed" to CL and then to LL, it seems to be this set of configurations.
"What about the self-selected team?
Do I have autonomy. President?! ”
"Of course, the team pulls up, and you have the final say on the rest, I just look at the final result."
“……”
Okay, it's still the same.
And this time, in the production process, even a god like Hayao Miyazaki was gone.
However, Mika Ishino is not dead, and she still wants to struggle again.
"On the art side, can I let Xinjin be my original painting?" Ishino asked.
"Yes."
Qing Zhiyuan responded casually, but after only a second, he hurriedly called again, "Xinjin can't do it, he has other arrangements." And the style of this game,Yokoyama is enough.。 You have to believe in the level of Yokoyama. ”
"Oh, okay, no problem, President."
Mika Ishino only felt her brain buzzing.
There's nothing to struggle with.
After explaining the follow-up, Mika Ishino stood up and prepared to leave.
As soon as he walked to the door, he was stopped by Qing Zhiyuan.
"By the way, after you go out, call Shinji Mikami over and call Ken Akanishi and Sakata as well, huh...... Shinjin also called it. ”
"Okay president."
……
After about 5 minutes, Shinji Mikami and the others opened the door and came to Seongzhiyuan's office.
After a few people sat down, Qing Zhiyuan smiled mysteriously.
"Now, the company has a big task for you, it's a new game.
But I haven't figured out the key point yet, let's brainstorm together. ”
Several people looked at each other and couldn't help but get nervous.
Although it is said to be brainstorming, a few people know that this is clearly the meaning of [discussing a plan] and then implementing it.
However, Ken Akanishi and Taiji Sakata are not under a lot of pressure, and they know that they are only here to help.
In the end, there is a high probability that Mikazu will be the producer.
"That's right," Ching said, "we work with Studio Ghibli, you know that, right?" ”
"Yes, President."
Several people responded in unison.
However, among them, only Shinjin Makoto's voice trembled slightly.
When he heard the words Ghibli, Makoto Shintsu's pupils shook, and his heart beat violently.
Nani?
Ghibli?
Could it be that you said it before......
Does the president want to give us a project to work with Hayao Miyazaki?
At this time, Shinjin Makoto had a sense of excitement to cooperate with the old-timers he had admired for a long time, and his fingers trembled slightly.
This is Ghibli, this is Hayao Miyazaki.
In other words, I finally had the opportunity to work with Miyazaki and receive his guidance.
Is that so?
The reason why Qing Zhiyuan let Makoto Shinjin join is also very simple, this guy is the future master of neon animation films, and is known as the most influential new generation of animation giants after Hayao Miyazaki.
It's just the opportunity for him to hone it.
And Xinjin can not only learn a lot from it, but also help the game to improve, which can be regarded as complementary.
"And then, this project is called Princess Mononoke, you know about it, right?"
Several people shook their heads slightly, indicating that they did not understand.
At best, I've heard the name, but I don't know what it is.
"I'll talk about the premise first, Princess Mononoke is an animated movie, and Ghibli plans to release it next year, no later than the year after that, and then Pokeni will make a corresponding game shortly after the release.
This is called [Movie and Game Linkage], and if done well, it will greatly increase the popularity of both parties, thereby attracting more viewers and players.
It's equivalent to us joining forces with Ghibli to make this pool bigger. ”
Movie and game linkage.
It's the first time you've heard this word.
It feels so powerful.
"There's only one to two years, so there's not a lot of time left for us.
So from now on, this project has to start the project production. Qing Zhiyuan said.
Several people bowed their heads and fell silent for a while.
Indeed, generally speaking, if it is not a simple skinning game, or the development difficulty is very low, it is basically normal to do it for one to two years.
It's normal to do it for three or five years.
So the president is right, if you don't start now, you may not be able to catch up.
You can't hope for a skip ticket from Ghibli, right?
"Come on, come on, sign the confidentiality agreement first."
……
Qing Zhiyuan put the confidentiality agreement that had been prepared long ago in front of everyone, in triplicate, and they needed to sign it before telling the follow-up matters.
Everyone here is also a veteran of the company, and they are no strangers to confidentiality agreements.
What's more, this is "Princess Mononoke" with Ghibli, and it would be a bit strange not to sign a non-disclosure agreement.
Mikami read it quite carefully.
But there was one thing he didn't quite understand.
"President, I can understand the previous clauses, and you must not disclose any content related to Princess Mononoke without authorization, including gameplay, materials, and ...... Animation plot, character setting......
But why is there a final rule that you can't reveal the game to anyone other than the members of the project, including Ghibli's personnel? ”
Good guy, you can't let Ghibli know about what you gave, right?
Isn't it redundant to keep it secret to this extent?
Defend yourself, huh?
"Well, it's for security reasons."
Qing Zhiyuan said nonsense seriously, "If necessary, I will communicate with them more on my side, what if there is a big mouth on Ghibli's side?" Anyway, we do our best to keep it as tight as possible, you know? ”
"Understood."
Then Qing Zhiyuan picked up a stack of documents from the table, a total of three, and stacked them in front of the three people.
"This is the script for Princess Mononoke that you wanted."
Although it is said to be a script, in fact, no matter how Cheong Chi Won wants it, Ghibli is only willing to provide part of the storyboard script and character design original drawings.
It's not that I don't want to give it, it's mainly that the development progress on Ghibli's side is too slow, and the storyboards are changed again and again, and many times the original ones will be overturned and restarted when there are new and better ideas, so until now, there are only storyboards with less than 20 minutes of content.
Even if it's only 20 minutes, you can basically see a lot of content.
Qing Zhiyuan, as he has known the plot for a long time, is the only person in the audience who has the experience of watching the movie, and he wrote a text script to help his members understand this animation.
Therefore, in each folder, there are not only 20 minutes of storyboarding, but also the text script of Qing Zhiyuan.
"What about you, go back and read it carefully."
"But there's one thing I have to emphasize."
Qing Zhiyuan once again accentuated his tone, "Don't let Ghibli know, especially the content of the text script given here." ”
If this Nima is known to them, won't my identity as a reborn person be exposed?
The revelation of the identity of the Reborn is a trivial matter, and when the time comes, he will say that this text script was created according to his own personal ideas, and if there is any similarity, it is pure coincidence.
But if it affects the creation of "Princess Mononoke" because of spoilers, it will not be good.
