After returning to China, Qing Zhiyuan first spent more than a week to complete the first draft and outline of the Matrix trilogy, and made some detailed character settings.

I also arranged for the art department to help make a short animation.

The content of the animation is very simple, it shows the process of Neo dodging the countless bullets fired in front of him in slow motion in the Matrix.

There is no need to color, it is just an ordinary line drawing, and even the characters do not need to be drawn in too detail.

As long as the storyboard effect can meet the requirements.

In addition to Neo's dodging bullets, he also made some cool and gorgeous action storyboards.

After doing these things, Qing Zhiyuan went to Yuehe Company with a bunch of prepared business plans and materials.

Now Nao Tsuda wants to raise a baby, so he has already handed over the company's affairs to Seijigen and Hitotsubashi Fumie to deal with.

In fact, Nao Tsuda usually doesn't care much, and it's basically Qing Zhiyuan who has the final say.

She's also happy to be idle.

After reading the storyboard and the project case that Qing Zhiyuan gave her, Hitotsubashi was simply shocked.

"Wow! Qingsang, you're such a genius. ”

This project of the Matrix not only has a superb narrative, but it is really breathtaking in the storyboard.

Even if Hitotsubashi didn't watch the animation video of the art brought by Qing Zhiyuan, the storyboard alone was enough for her to make up the specific action pictures in her brain.

And in the movie script, the feeling that makes people's scalp tingle, from the beginning the whole world changed from real to unreal, and that moment really made Hitotsubashi Fumie's brain buzz.

It feels like the whole worldview has been turned upside down.

Moreover, after reading the entire project, Hitotsubashi Bunka still hasn't been able to recover from that shock.

There was even a doubt about whether the world was real or not.

Aren't we some kind of virtual creatures?

Or is it that the real me is being nurtured like a sapling flower by the robots somewhere?

Just to get enough energy out of my brain?

Yes!

You can't think about it anymore, and if you think about it anymore, you're going crazy.

Hitotsubashi looked up sharply, his eyes full of shock.

"It's definitely the most amazing script I've seen so far."

Qing Zhiyuan shook his head with a smile, and said modestly: "Miss Hitotsubashi has won the award, this is just a little idea of mine." ”

Hitotsubashi shook her head firmly, and she said seriously, "No, Qingsang, this is definitely not a little idea. Your storyboards and projects are like treasures falling from the sky, and they make me shudder. ”

She stood up, revealing an arm, "Look, I've got goosebumps." ”

A faint smile appeared on Qing Zhiyuan's face, and he said softly, "Really? I just hope to bring some new inspiration and creativity to Ms. Hitotsubashi. ”

It was the same feeling when he first watched The Matrix.

Shocked, the scalp is numb.

The truth of the world catches people off guard, and after reading it, you will have doubts about reality.

Qing Zhiyuan understands the psychological state of Hitotsubashi Bune very well.

That's how everybody came over.

I'm not a genius or a creative person, I'm just a porter of the future.

A glint of appreciation flashed in Ichibashi Wene's eyes, and she said with emotion: "Qingsang, you are not only a genius but also a visionary. Your storyboards and projects are not just about meeting the needs of the market, they're about exploring the boundaries of art. ”

While admiring, she re-read the documents and storyboards she had just read, and she still felt extremely shocked when she looked at it again.

Yes, it's a work of art.

If it can be filmed, no, it will definitely be filmed.

With the advent of the main Matrix, the film trilogy will definitely leave a strong mark on the history of global cinema.

Moreover, it not only has very deep philosophical thinking and rich imagination, but also has a wonderful story and a fast-paced plot, which makes people's blood rush and exciting, especially those wonderful fight scenes, just after watching the storyboard script given by Qing Zhiyuan, she can already imagine what an exciting movie this should be.

No one wants to go to the toilet in the middle of the whole process, right?

And......

According to Hitotsubashi's own evaluation, this film not only has high artistic value, but also has high commercial value.

Whether it is in terms of ideological depth, plot structure, or expressiveness, it should be a model of commercial action art films.

"So this movie, oh no, the Matrix trilogy, how are we going to shoot it?" Hitotsubashi asked.

"My idea is to put it in the United States to shoot, and first go to the box office of North Mi, and then make it a global release."

"Okay, okay." Hitotsubashi nodded, "I think so too." ”

In fact, the writing in the project case is already very tendentious, and all the names of the characters in the movie are obviously not neon names, but Western names.

It shows that Qingzhiyuan has been aiming at the North rice market from the beginning.

"Can we really achieve this?" Hitotsubashi was a little worried.

"No problem," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "The 3D technology on pokeni's side has reached a new stage of development, and then the film and television special effects and rendering technology will just be a by-product of the game."

When it comes to post-production effects, you don't have to worry about it at all. ”

"Oh, that's no problem in that case." Fumie Hitotsubashi laughed happily.

I was even a little excited to see and lead such a big production.

Qing Zhiyuan paused, "You have to hurry up and let people refine the script, and then submit it to the corresponding agency in the United States for review and registration, the sooner the better." ”

"Okay." Fumie Hitotsubashi nodded.

The two of them discussed the details again, and they were almost able to agree.

The follow-up will be handled by Hitotsubashi, and it will not be a problem for her to be the chief producer of the film.

"By the way, Qingsang, do you have any requirements for the director and casting of the film?" Before the end of the meeting, Fumie Hitotsubashi asked.

"Hmmm......"

Qing Zhiyuan thought about it for a while, in his previous life, the directors and screenwriters of the Matrix were all from Warner Bros., and now it is not realistic to let the original team shoot it.

"I only have one request, the actor must use Keanu Reeves, and you can handle the rest."

"Okay." Hitotsubashi nodded approvingly.

Keanu Reeves is actually a little famous at this point in time, in 94 he starred in "Life and Death" was well received, Keanu Reeves also successfully became an excellent action star, and the elegant and mysterious temperament exuded by his body is actually rare and liked by many people.

Comparing Neo in the script, Hitotsubashi immediately found out-

This script is almost tailor-made for Keanu Reeves.

But there's no guarantee that she'll be able to get Keanu Reeves.

After all, there is a big interference and luck component in casting.

Just like "Titanic", which will be released this year, Cameron originally wanted to use the actor Johnny Tepp, and he never thought that Xiao Li Zi was good-looking, a little too feminine and thin, but in the end, he chose Xiao Li Zi as the protagonist.

Who can say these things well?

"By the way, there's one more thing," Fumie Hitotsubashi frowned, "about the budget......"

"You're a producer, you can count it," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Set it at $100 million first, and then add it later if it's not enough." ”

"Okay." Hitotsubashi Bunka smiled.

Qing Zhiyuan and Nao Tsuda are really rich.

However, if you want to make such a movie, you really can't get one or two hundred million.

As a producer, Hitotsubashi said that he was full of energy and had to work hard.

"That's right,"

Before ending the meeting, Qing Zhiyuan stopped Hitotsubashi again.

"Huh?" Ichibashi was already ready to pack up his things and go to work, when he heard Qing Zhiyuan's voice and turned around.

"There is one more thing," Qing Zhiyuan said seriously, "Martial arts instructor, please be sure to use the martial arts finger of China Xiangjiang, preferably Yuan Heping." ”

The success of The Matrix, in addition to the performance of the actors, the script and special effects, is also very critical -

That is to use Yuan Heping, also known as the eighth master, known as the first martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang, Chinese as the chief martial arts commander, which makes the fights in the movie both smooth and gorgeous, which makes people enjoy watching and have a considerable sense of beauty.

It not only reflects the extraordinary combat effectiveness of everyone in the Matrix, but also makes audiences all over the world feel the charm of Chinese martial arts.

It's a little bit to play well, it's elegant and full of artistry, except for the Chinese martial arts, I'm afraid no one can do it at this time.

……

Hitotsubashi Fumie's movements are very fast, and after the company's royal screenwriter refines the script, she immediately draws up a plan and flies to the United States.

In about a week or so, Qing Zhiyuan received good news from Ichibashi Wenhua in the United States.

The project has been vetted, registered and filed with the Writers Guild and the Copyright Authority, as well as the relevant authorities.

It's actually a complete process for making a movie.

For example, what movie you want to shoot, you may have a good idea and story, and you often have to go to the relevant departments to file and check the duplicate before the movie is filmed.

If there is already a similar subject matter, there is a certain risk of plagiarism in a car crash, then it is impossible to shoot.

In this case, it is necessary to buy the copyright of the other party before it can be made into a movie.

It seems like a complicated process, but it is actually a kind of protection of property rights.

Since Yuehe's side has been successfully registered, it means that there has been no previous record of scripts with a high degree of similarity.

Hearing this news, Qing Zhiyuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This means that the Matrix is already in the bag.

However, this is only the first step, and it is also crucial to choose a good director and actors, and make the film well, although at the technical level, Qing Zhiyuan said that there are no problems, but he will still worry about the finished film.

Cinema is an art that requires people to perform, and many things are uncontrollable.

All Moon River can do is put the most suitable candidates together, and then increase the probability of success.

On the Pokeni side, what can be controlled is the post-production of special effects.

……

"What?! Bullet time? ”

When Ken Akanishi heard this plan, his brain was about to explode.

What the hell is bullet time?

"Let the time in the whole game slow down, and only the protagonist can normalize the time, ah...... It's very difficult to achieve. ”

The program director, Ken Akanishi, was slumped in the chair at this time, holding his hands on his chest, his head drooping, and his facial features were crowded together the whole time, almost wringing out the water.

You can see how much he resists such a rude, shameless and terrible need in his heart.

If it weren't for the president sitting across from him, he would just want to curse right now.

"Why don't you move the program development of the game "The Matrix" to the United States?" Akanishi Ken was a little puzzled, "Obviously, the final game project will also be handed over over there." ”

Qing Zhiyuan has already confirmed this with Breivik, and the reason for handing it over to the Mi Guo subsidiary for production is also very simple-

The movie is going to be released in Beimi, and there is already a foundation for "Border" before, and the shooting part also has a foundation, so it is more appropriate to leave the game over there.

"However, the engine must be developed here." Qing Zhiyuan said, "The engine is shared within the company, don't reinvent the wheel, and let you develop this function, it naturally has its role."

It can be used in other games in the future, and it is not just for "The Matrix". ”

The game engine, as the name suggests, is the core part of the game, just like the engine of the car, and more precisely, it is a development tool.

As long as the engine on the neon side can be updated and iterated all the time, new changes will be made according to the hardware, and it will always maintain the world's leading position......

Then Pokeni will be invincible.

It's a bit wasteful to repeatedly develop two different engines and use different programming methods.

Qing Zhiyuan also based on this purpose, so he handed over the engine to Akanishi Ken's side to develop.

"You're going to pull out a new engine project team and specialize in making engines, our company's first PC game engine, and we're going to call it --

emmmm……”

Qing Zhiyuan thought for a moment, "The pioneer is good. The implication is that as a pioneer in the world of games, our technology has always been in the leading position in the world.

Explore for the sake of a game for all mankind.

We should be brave and keep exploring new areas. ”

Kento Akanishi was about to cry.

I don't want to be a trailblazer, I just want to get the job done honestly.

President, you only make it more difficult for us every day, and it doesn't matter whether the children's learning can keep up or not.

Is that really good?

Ken Akanishi felt that his head was going to explode in the past few years.

It's going to be tossed every once in a while.,It's hard to take a breath.,I thought that now the company's 3D games are also on the right track.,There shouldn't be such a qualitative change in demand.,You can slowly iterate and evolve, right?

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Qing Zhiyuan's creativity.

However, under the pressure of the president, Ken Akanishi couldn't refuse in person, but nodded, "Okay, when the time comes, I'll pull Ozawa together to form a new engine project team, which is dedicated to the development of a dedicated engine on the PC side, right?" ”

"It's best to package it together, so that the engine can not only support game development on PC, but also smoothly support game development on PS and package it into different formats."

Ah......h

Akanishi Ken regretted it a little, he shouldn't have asked this more just now.

"Let's try our best."

Different underlying compilation modes, it is actually quite difficult to do transcription and porting, and who knows if Sony will update it in the future?

Returning to the Matrix, Ken Akanishi carefully studied the plan given by the president.

And Qing Zhiyuan also played the video directly on the TV.

After watching the slow motion of the man in black dodging bullets in the game, Akanishi Ken was stunned.

"Isn't it? To this extent? ”

"Not in terms of lenses.,But the game mechanics have to be able to achieve this.,When the male owner uses the bullet time skill.,All the time around it has to slow down.,This time speed can be adjusted for planning and configuration.。

As long as the protagonist's actions are normal. ”

Sizzle......

Ken Akanishi gasped.

The president said it was easy, but in reality, it was not the case at all.

"This can't be done......"

Akanishi Ken clasped his hands and meditated, "Now there is only one main process in the game, and there is no difficulty in changing the time, just make the original playback frequency and game clock faster."

But the problem is that you can't make a local change.

Either it's all speeding up together, or it's all slowing down together.

It's actually quite difficult to break it out. ”

Qing Zhiyuan smirked, he already knew that you Chi Xijian was going to use this as an excuse.

"This problem is easy to solve, Akaxi-san, haven't you already explained all the plans just now?

The reason why we can't do this is because our current game has only one main process, and it is of course problematic to use the same clock for management and counting.

You don't have to split the content in the game separately, you just need to do different flow channels.

It supports multi-process coordinated processing, and can have a total clock to control the overall situation, but also to provide different clocks to manage separately.

All you need to do is do that, and the bullet time in the game will be realized.

The rest is left to the planning and the procedures over there, and there is no problem at all.

The advantage of splitting the different progression channels is that in the future different walks in the game can be implemented.

And this thing can have many, many changes in the future, Akaxi-san, this function must be done. ”

Qing Zhiyuan said categorically.

The most obvious thing about the inconsistency in the game is that you can do Breath of the Wild in the future, and Link Time is very famous.

And it can also make other games with [time] as the core gameplay.

If such a game doesn't have a hard break in the plot, the first one that appears will generally become a classic.

"Okay president."

Ken Akanishi gritted his teeth fiercely, President, you are really a genius!!

Damn!!

Why is the president so powerful?!
