"I think we should go for the wasteland."

"No, the heats of the wasteland are too low right now."

"How's that kind of machine war?"

"It's so old-fashioned, and a lot of manufacturers are doing it."

"The movie has just been released, wouldn't it be too early to say this?"

"It's not early, it's all about this on the Internet now."

……

Flood Wilderness Conference Room.

Arguments kept coming out.

When Chen Linlao and Song Lao Li came to the door, the senior executives of various departments and the leaders of the production team had all arrived, and they were having a heated discussion on the movie "Mechanical Rover".

Seeing the three of them walk in, the voices gradually subsided, and they all returned to their positions.

"Sit down."

Chen Lin said a word and came to the front of the conference room.

After looking around at the crowd, he went straight to the point and said:

"You should have heard of it, right?"

The sudden explosion of "Mechanical Rover" was also somewhat unexpected by Chen Lin.

Internationally renowned directors, plus more than a dozen major film and television studios, their strength should not be underestimated, and they have swept major theaters at home and abroad in just a few days.

The speed of transmission is simply staggering.

"Not only have I heard that it has gone crazy on the Internet now."

Lao Li, who had just sat down, was the first to speak.

"And as soon as they announced the results, the box office directly exceeded 1 billion on the first day, breaking the fastest box office record!"

Lao Song on the side added, looking a little shocked.

One is to shock the strength of the director and the film and television company.

The second is the sudden explosion of shock on this theme.

Don't talk about them.

I'm afraid the whole industry is a little unexpected.

In particular, the theme of cyberpunk, in their memory, has always been the most out-of-the-box and tepid in the science fiction category.

Even many people have a very vague concept of it, and they don't understand what cyberpunk means at all, after all, it was born too long, almost dating back to the sixties and seventies.

It's as complex and incomprehensible as "Cthulhu".

Perhaps it is precisely because of this sense of mystery that it is so enthusiastically sought after by so many people?

"I've been to see that movie, and it's really good, and now young people are fascinated by the subject." One of the team leaders at the bottom spoke.

"yes, I feel like this could be the next big thing."

"It's really fierce, and even the domestic film scheduling rate has risen to 43%."

"I still don't understand what cyberpunk means......"

"It's kind of wasteland style, but it's not completely wasted."

"It's too out-of-the-way, I really didn't expect this kind of theme to be popular."

Everyone, you say a word to me, and the words are full of sighs.

They have seen a lot of movies that suddenly exploded, but it is the first time they have seen such a strange theme.

Although there are a bunch of well-known film and television studios behind this, it also shows that the people's tastes have begun to change.

began to change from love and love to this kind of hardcore plus curious content.

This has a very big impact on the gaming industry.

It may be necessary to change the operational strategy in the future.

"It is said that many manufacturers have begun to formulate games with similar themes, and Suoni Juhard is also increasing the promotion proportion of such games, should we also charge more similar games, or simply make one?"

Someone immediately suggested.

The explosion of cyberpunk will inevitably lead to the emergence of a bunch of games with similar themes, and they have to plan ahead.

"Do any of you know cyberpunk?" Lao Song asked.

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

They all looked at each other.

Good for a while.

Someone said: "I studied that movie, it should be similar to the collapse of order after the development of technology to a certain extent, and it has a dystopian flavor." ”

"Moreover, daily life has been affected by the drastic changes of technology, the popularization of computerized information has shrouded the world, and various human body modifications, which can be summed up as a high degree of integration of mechanical technology into life."

"Huh? I always thought that cyberpunk was talking about the steam engine. Another man spoke in surprise.

Steam engine......

The others gave him strange looks.

How do these two things come together?

But it also proves from the side that they don't know much about cyberpunk.

Or rather.

Except for those manufacturers who have done similar themes.

The entire industry is still in the stage of excavation and research on cyberpunk.

Whoever becomes famous first will be able to grasp the opportunity.

Of course, it is also possible to be self-defeating, misunderstand the meaning, and make a nondescript game.

"What about Mr. Chen? Do you think we should make this kind of game? ”

At this time, Lao Li looked at Chen Lin next to him.

"Cyberpunk Ah......h

Chen Lin looked thoughtful and tapped lightly on the table.

Speaking of this theme, he thinks of several games.

But the most impressive thing is the game that crashed on the line, which can be called the largest rollover in history.

Not for anything else.

It's just that the force is too strong when it is announced.

The novel cyberpunk-style game has attracted a lot of attention from players as soon as it was announced.

As a result, after the official launch, a bunch of bugs were exposed, and the optimization of garbage to the extreme, it was not even as good as a semi-finished product.

This is a classic case of high expectations.

"No one remembers the junk games that were released on time."

That's the best way to describe that game.

It has also become a valid reason for countless masterpieces to skip tickets.

But it has to be said.

Regardless of the production problems, the overall concept and design of that game is still very good, even amazing.

Otherwise, there won't be a bunch of players scolding while waiting for it to be updated and optimized.

A large part of this is due to this.

It is the bright lights in the city that satisfy their fantasy of the future world of science and technology, and also satisfy the wildness suppressed in their hearts!

Now that he has the ability and resources, he just happened to encounter the rise of this kind of theme.

It's time for players in this world to experience the charm of Night City for themselves!

"Okay, let's do this game for the next project."

Chen Lin raised his head and said slowly.

Everyone who was discussing looked at him in unison.

"So, it's settled?"

Lao Song was not surprised by this.

Although they are now a platform, they are still a game studio first and foremost.

Only by creating more of your own IP and enhancing the influence of the platform can you go further, just like Rentiandi has been making its own Mario series.

That's it......

It can be a bit challenging for them.

"Don't worry, I already have a preliminary idea, and when the time comes, I will get a plan for you, and if there are mistakes or omissions, we will discuss and revise them together."

"What kind of plan?"

When everyone heard this, they suddenly came to their senses.

Chen Lin glanced at them and smiled slightly.

"I'm going to use the technology background of decades from now to create a vice city where freedom and chaos coexist, and I'm going to name it Cyberpunk 2077!"

……

A conference on an emerging topic.

Soon it was over.

With doubts and expectations, Lao Song, Lao Li and others returned to their departments and began to collect relevant information.

And at this time.

The discussion about Robo-Patroller and cyberpunk has also intensified on the Internet, and it has become one of the hottest topics for a while.

Many manufacturers have taken this opportunity to announce that they are developing this kind of game, which has received a lot of attention.

Not to mention several major virtual platforms, which have already entered the market with a smell and hyped up the new games that their platforms are about to introduce.

What next-generation wasteland style, future fantasy technology, and intelligent machine crisis can be said to have earned enough eyeballs, and it has also hyped the popularity of this theme to a new height.

Until the morning of the third day.

Chen Lincai made a call to Lao Li.

"The design plan has been sent to your computer, and it may be a bit difficult to make, so let's see if there is anything else to change."

"Already done? Let me see. ”

Lao Li turned on the computer, pulled out the file he had just received, and immediately gasped.

"Mr. Chen, your name is a bit big?"

Lao Li looked at the dense files on the computer in shock.

Seeing this, the leaders of the various groups on the side also surrounded them.

"Where, where? Where's the new solution? ”

"Did you send it yet?"

"I'll go! So much?? ”

"Is this going to be a triple-A game?"

During this time, they also studied a lot of information about cyberpunk, and they knew something.

But when I saw the amount of content in the plan, I was still taken aback.

"You can study this plan for yourself first, and then come to me if you have any questions."

Chen Lin said and hung up the phone.

Because the content is really large, and there are still some gameplay that need to be modified, he still needs some time to optimize.

Lao Li and the others quickly clicked on the file and looked at the gameplay design that matched the information they had seen these days, and they were shocked one by one.

"The chaotic city, the energy competition, and the corporate war are indeed very much in line with the background of that era."

"Mechanical prosthetics! Even this gameplay has been added? ”

"I'm a good cow with this design sketch!"

"Night City, the name of the city?"

"Wouldn't these designs be a little too bold?"

"That's right, that's the smell!"

With just a design plan, they imagined in their minds a chaotic, gang-ridden, yet orderly tech city.

It is a perfect interpretation of the world background of "high-tech and low-life" in the definition of cyberpunk.

One can't help but be curious.

Beneath the bustling city, there is something hidden that no one knows.

It also made them suddenly enlightened, and finally had a clear direction.

"Okay, let's assign the work first, we have to do it before the other manufacturers."

Lao Li took a deep breath and began to assign relevant work to each group.

Especially in terms of lighting and shadow rendering and modeling, it is definitely a top priority for this game.

In addition, a lot of code optimization, the workload is not much smaller than that of the big dartger, and I will have to go to the Dawn team to find Lao Song and ask more people with him later.

The entire Daybreak team.

As the project was finalized, it was busy.

……

Soni Headquarters, Conference Room.

At a time when major manufacturers are working on the development of new games, Soni is no exception, and is also discussing related content.

"That old guy Furukawa, I just went to contact him and wanted him to join forces with the two of us, but he was refused."

A dignified man with middle-haired hair and glasses sat in the first place, with a calm face.

"I heard that they have no intention of participating in this competition, and they have been waiting and seeing."

"Humph! I think they are just scared by the flood and just want to occupy the market in Japan and South Korea! ”

"President Yoshida, I think this is a good opportunity, since Ren Tiandi doesn't compete with us, we can take this opportunity to surpass them!"

The words of everyone below made the conference room noisy.

The explosion of this emerging theme is undoubtedly a great opportunity for them to attract players, and it is also an excellent time to expand the platform's users.

Since Ren Tiandi has no intention of participating, they can take this opportunity to stabilize the market of the PS virtual platform in Asia.

There is a flood on the Huaguo side, and they have no chance, but other neighboring countries can still do it, as long as they can win it, it is enough for them to gain a firm foothold in the virtual industry.

They're not like Ren Tiandi.

Only satisfied with the basic market on the Japanese and Korean side!

"Okay, it's decided, you will be responsible for the development of the surrounding countries, and you will be responsible for supervising the game development team at Yamashita, so that they can make the game as soon as possible."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

After receiving Yoshida's order, Eguchi and Yamashita responded one after another.

"Well, go ahead, no matter what happens this time, we have to tear a piece of meat off Hong Huang's body, the virtual industry, we must have a share of Suoni!"

Yoshida's eyes contain a strong sense of confidence and coldness.

If it weren't for the famine, their status on the host side would not have plummeted.

He doesn't hate the famine, after all, market competition is like this.

But he can't look at the dominance of the Honghuang family, otherwise where will they put Suo Ni's face, and now many people outside are watching them laugh.
