Chapter 1354 The King of Magic Reform

"Longing for Life" is indeed an outdoor reality show with a pastoral style, and Li Mu really feels that this show is a clear stream among countless reality shows.

The reason why it is said to be a clear stream is that this show is really down-to-earth, very real, and very life-like, and there are no boring games or boring and artificial entertainment stalks, which can give people a sense of tranquility and tranquility. It has a warm and warm feeling, which is a quality that other shows do not have.

Li Mu has watched a season of "Longing for Life" in his last life. He has a special liking for this show, whether it is Huang Lei, who is like a chef, or He Yu, who is like a virtuous wife, or Boy Dahua, who is honest and stupid. The design is very characteristic, and it is in line with the characteristics of the three characters themselves.

The format of the show is probably that these three men are thrown into a farmyard, and they are accompanied by a dog, a few chickens, and one-third of an acre of land. The three guests clean up their farmyard as warm and comfortable. , and then began to meet friends from the city, and these friends, without exception, are all stars in the entertainment industry.

In each episode of the show, the stars who are about to reach the farmhouse will call them to order and tell them what they want to eat, and then Huang Lei will find a way to bring the other two people to go with them according to the menu of the guests and the actual local situation. Fulfilling the guests' requirements, after the guests arrive, let them spend a day and a night of rural life in the farmyard, and then the first episode of the show is basically over.

This kind of program is similar to farming. It does not have a particularly large story background, nor does it have a particularly undulating plot climax. Some are the process of the protagonist relying on his hands and the limited resources in the countryside to achieve one small goal after another.

Li Mu liked this show very much in his last life, but he also has his own dissatisfaction with this show. The biggest dissatisfaction is the lack of a currency setting in the show, which is a very fatal injury.

In each episode of the show, in order to get the money to buy the ingredients, Huang Lei has to discuss with the show team temporarily. He can exchange a few catties of corn to exchange for a bottle of Coke, or exchange a little cash, and then use the cash to negotiate with the owner of the canteen. .

Since the program team never thought of giving a currency setting in this program, there is no fixed scale for every money and goods transaction, and every time there is a temporary negotiation, the corn and cash are completely determined by slapping their heads. exchange rate, and from that alone, a lot of the fun that might have been lost.

If Li Mulai is to enrich this show, the first thing is to clarify the currency exchange settings. For example, it is clear that one pound of corn can be exchanged for one yuan. Then, on this basis, the three guests can use the method of playing corn. Come and exchange for any money and things with evidence.

If you want to drink Coke, OK, exchange two pounds of corn for a can of Coke; want to buy two pounds of meat? OK, you can buy 2 catties of meat with 15 catties of corn.

Or ask the guests who come every time to help make some corn, and the stored corn will be the funds for the trio in the whole show. In this way, the show will have an extra "currency line". Don't underestimate this line, there is its Existence, the feeling of farming can be complete.

In the farming text, no one only farms, only raises pigs and fish. Only this line will be very boring, so the protagonist must rely on his own farming behavior to exchange money for himself, and then use money to achieve more The goal.

Therefore, on this line, an "industry line" based on the "currency line" can also be set for them, that is, the program team sets the exchange price of various pastoral industries. For example, a hen that can lay eggs, The exchange price in the show is 10 yuan, and the price of the program group recovering an egg is 2 yuan. If the guests are interested in investing in the chicken industry, they can work hard to get 100 catties of corn, and then buy ten hens. Come, every day in the future, ten hens may bring them twenty yuan in cash;

In addition, new industries can continue to be developed on the upper layer of eggs. For example, if eggs can be made into cakes, the recycling price of each cake is 5 yuan or 10 yuan. As for the oven for making cakes, it needs 30 yuan. , or fifty yuan, if the guests have the ability to make a soil oven by hand, they can also use cash to recycle the cake as long as the cake meets the requirements of the program group. In this way, the three guests have a better one. way of profit;

Li Mu's thinking continued to diverge. In addition to the industry line, he felt that another quest line could be added. That is to say, the program team could randomly give them several quests for them to choose from. If they were able to complete the quest, they would get additional rewards. For example, there are one hundred format tasks in the entire task library. They can randomly select three tasks every day to complete with the guests of the day. Each task has different requirements and corresponds to different rewards. Of course, they can decide freely. Whether to complete these three tasks, or choose one of them to complete;

In this way, the interestingness of the show will be greatly increased, and the show team will no longer make things difficult for the guests, but become a fair and just NPC in the game. When the guests come, they will not just help fight, and then eat It's so boring to go back after two meals.

But in this way, he is equivalent to completely changing "The Longing for Life". However, Li Mu has great confidence in his own magical change. Friends resisting zombies together has become a thing that netizens around the world repeat countless times almost every day.

Moreover, the second stage of the magical transformation of "Plants vs. Zombies Online" will be completed soon. At that time, players around the world will use various plants to resist the unique image of zombies in China under the architectural structure of China. It will definitely be popular all over the world with this game.

All these are the charms brought by the magic reform, so Li Mu is very interested in the magic reform now.

When thinking of this, a voice suddenly popped out of Li Mu's mind: Didn't he magically change "Longing for Life" into his own "Paradise Town"?

Paradise Town, isn't it just such a farming game? Players can make money by farming, expand their arable land, and then buy various poultry and livestock to obtain more agricultural and sideline products. On this basis, they can also create their own industrial system, such as using various materials produced by themselves Industrial products, eggs and milk can be made into cakes and ice cream, wool can be made into sweaters, corn can be made into popcorn, potatoes can be made into potato chips and so on.

It's just that I definitely have no way to reuse the worldview framework of the entire game in variety shows. However, even a little reuse of some of the more distinctive classic stalks in the game can connect the audience with this game. stand up.

In this way, "Longing for Life" becomes a live-action version of "Paradise Town".

The more Li Mu thought about it, the more reliable he felt. Instead of doing this, it would be better to combine the show and the game. This way, it would not only increase the gameplay and interest of the show, but also enhance the influence of "Paradise Town".

"Paradise Town" is a game developed by Makino Technology. In the final analysis, the increase in the influence of "Paradise Town" is also a great brand promotion for Makino Technology, and this program is the overall planning of Makino Imaging, so that As a result, it is simply a live advertisement of Makino Technology...

As for the name, it would be inappropriate to call it "Paradise Town" directly, so let's just call it "The Longing for Life" broadcast under the title of "Paradise Town".

Although the name of the program is still called "Longing for Life", all the oral broadcasts and advertisements involving it are displayed in this way, so that they can be firmly tied together, not to mention, between the game and the program. There is a very large similarity in itself, and the effect of this bundling will naturally become better.

Moreover, if you push this mutually reinforcing chain in turn, you will find that if you really take out this show and sell it in a bundle with "Paradise Town", you will have a very strong audience base for the show itself. I don't know how many players of "Paradise Town" will watch this show because of this.

Therefore, this kind of gameplay is a proper win-win situation.

At this time, He Yu and Chen Wan both asked Li Mu very curiously: "What kind of model is the variety show of rural life?"

The variety shows of this year have not yet entered the era of the big bang, so the two of them can't imagine how a "variety show of rural life" should be presented.

Li Mu smiled mysteriously at this time and asked the two of them, "Have you ever played "Paradise Town"?"

Chen Wan nodded: "Of course, I've been playing since it was called "Happy Farm"."

"Me too." He Yu said, "I was a die-hard player in "Happy Farm". I used to get up and collect food in my head at 3:00 in the morning. Although it's not so crazy now, as long as I don't go on business, I basically Every day, I will log in to "Paradise Town", go up to collect crops and various products, and then hand in tasks and expand the area of ​​the town, and I can only recharge it for more than 10,000 yuan."

Li Mu said with a smile: "Since you are both players of "Happy Farm", it's easy to handle. I can tell you all about it now. This variety show is based on "Paradise Town" and is here On the basis of the product after living and realistic processing, I will arrange for someone to make a detailed copy for the specific details, and then I will chat with Shonan Satellite TV. If Shonan Satellite TV is interested, we will be like "Super Girl". , to co-develop the show.”

He Yu still doesn't know what kind of show Li Mu is going to make. Although he has already said that this show relies on "Paradise Town", the various systems in "Paradise Town" can be said to be very complicated, and He couldn't imagine how video games should be put into variety shows. At least in terms of farming, a piece of wheat in the game might be cooked in a few minutes. If it were put in reality, it would take at least a few months. Woolen cloth?

However, He Yu did not continue to ask questions. He knew that this included copyright issues. If he asked too detailedly, it would appear that he did not understand the rules. As for the specific story of the project, at most the main line and outline will be asked, because if you ask too much, the secrets of the other party will be involved.

Although He Yu didn't know what Li Mu's "Pastoral Variety Show" was, he believed that what Li Mu brought out would not be bad, and it might be a new peak. Entrusting the show to himself is not only a kindness to him, but also an opportunity for him! In any case, you must seize this opportunity firmly and do your best!
