Chapter 398 302 Chase Your Dreams Bravely!

In mid-April, 86 Games has been developed.

This game is actually quite simple to make, and there is nothing new in terms of game mechanism. War chess games are already a very mature game type in Japan.

It stands to reason that such a war chess game can be made in about half a year or a year. With Pokeni's development strength, it may take even less time.

However, the main reason why it took a year from the first half of last year to now is:

This time Pokeni adopted a new 3D expression form, that is, all game characters, including the fighter planes used in it, are modeled.

In order to enhance the expressiveness of the game, a large number of animations were also produced.

In the game, the UI also adopts a new style full of technology, and auxiliary lines are added on the chessboard. For example, in the war chess, if one of the characters moves, the attack range and the enemy's attack range will be displayed around, and the walking route will be more intelligent.

When being targeted by the enemy in battle, many auxiliary symbols will appear above your head...

In other words, Pokeni has made a new round of iterations of the chess game, and this game cannot even be called a chess game.

In the current chess game field, "86-Non-Existent War Zone" is definitely a unique existence, and it will definitely make the whole world tremble.

...

In fact, the 86 produced now is relatively simple compared to "Princess Mononoke" and "The Witcher Demon Egg".

There is no black technology that requires new development of programmers in the game, it is nothing more than providing more effect support in the UI.

So the artists and programmers in Ishino Mika's team are very happy.

The only possible problem is, is there really no problem with Maeda Jun's script?

"Don't worry, Maeda Jun's script is well written, there is no problem."

In the president's office, Qing Zhiyuan said to Ishino Mika and Maeda Jun who were worried.

Don't I know if there is a problem?

I wrote the script outline.

However, the script outline given by Qing Zhiyuan actually only contains the content of the first part of 86.

And many plots are very different from the 86 seen in the previous life.

The most critical thing is that Qing Zhiyuan changed the plot of 86, which was like being pua and not only had to die for others, but also died without any value.

As a person who has received nine years of compulsory education, Qing Zhiyuan said that there should be no resistance, and just accepting oppression should not exist.

Even Spartacus, when he was a slave, he had to resist.

What's more, 86 is not a slave at all. They should live with more dignity. Instead, the white pigs in the country are the ones who should die the most.

So in the entire plot line changed by Qing Zhiyuan, the character settings, world view and basic settings of the original work are retained, but the story line is actually completely different.

Although it is tragic, you must die for a good cause.

This is what Qing Zhiyuan wants to convey to the players.

86, you have a very important mission.

After seeing Qing Zhiyuan's outline, Maeda Jun and Ishino Mika were also shocked.

This time, Maeda Jun followed Qing Zhiyuan's outline and communicated with his soul.

"I'm not sure myself," Maeda Jun scratched his head and blinked, "President, I always feel deeply shocked by the plot, but I'm not sure if I can grasp it."

In fact, Maeda Jun has his comfort zone. He is very good at describing stories in a small range, such as a campus or a city, but once it rises to the national level, especially the macro human narrative part, he is a little stretched.

Charlotte in the previous life is a good example. The first half of Charlotte is a classic, but once it enters into conspiracy, war, national interests, etc., it seems too naive, still thinking like a high school student.

This time, Qing Zhiyuan forced him to learn a wave of learning, learning Qing Zhiyuan's thinking mode in game production, and also for this guy to become more mature when creating animations similar to Charlotte in the future.

For example, the current old Urobuchi has been trained very well by Qing Zhiyuan.

The performance in "The Demon Hunter: Demon Egg" is obvious to all. Not only does it have the darkness and love parts that Gen Urobuchi is good at, but it also has great human narratives, profound issues about war, and philosophical thinking at the human level. In fact, it has already shown one thing--

Gen Urobuchi has grown up, he is more mature, this guy has completed the transformation and has become more thoughtful.

This is a very good thing.

This is also what Miyazaki Hayao discussed with Qing Zhiyuan back then--

Games are a cultural carrier and also our expression tool. Just like animation, we need to let more people in and tell them something more spiritual.

The entrance should be wide and large, and the exit should be high and narrow.

Qing Zhiyuan has always remembered Miyazaki Hayao's words and implemented this concept in the game.

Old Urobuchi is his best student.

The current Gen Urobuchi is worthy of Qing Zhiyuan's pride.

And the rest is to make Maeda Jun a more mature Maeda Jun.

He has his own natural advantages, such as portraying delicate emotions, not only family affection, love, and friendship, these things Maeda Jun can accurately grasp and write quite well, and in other areas, Qing Zhiyuan hopes that he can guide, and then Maeda Jun can feel and improve during the production.

Take the current 86 for example, Qing Zhiyuan has read the script from beginning to end, and has discussed it with Maeda Jun many times, and modified a lot of content.

Finally, it was finalized.

Qing Zhiyuan is still quite satisfied with the current 86 script.

"So don't worry, Maeda-san, you have to believe in your ability, and I believe in your ability. 86 must be a very good game. As a war chess game, it has reached the peak level of this era."

"Thank you, President." Maeda Jun still has no confidence.

This guy always demands too much of himself and pursues too perfect things. Even if there are masterpieces like CL and LL, he will still fall into self-doubt.

Is there something wrong with me? Is there something not good enough? Can players really accept this way of expression? Will such a plot be sent knives?

"Maeda, making games requires a big heart." Qing Zhiyuan patted his shoulder, "Don't regard the knives as your sin, but regard it as an honor.

If the players don't like you and are not moved by your work, they will not express such strong love."

"Love?"

Both Maeda Jun and Ishino Mika were stunned.

President, you actually call that thing love?

Although we are easily fooled by your sweet words, this time it is really a bit too much.

"Think about it, if the players don't care, they are indifferent. If the game is not good enough, then what does our high sales volume mean?"

Qing Zhiyuan stood up, sat back in his chair, and smiled calmly.

"So, be confident."

"Okay, President." Maeda Jun nodded.

Sometimes he really envied the president and Wada. Sometimes these two people were so thick-skinned that they even lied to themselves.

It was not easy to achieve this level.

"President, if we release the game like this, will you and I be killed by the players?" Ishino Mika asked worriedly.

Qing Zhiyuan frowned fiercely.

Why did you add me in?

It was obviously you who made the game, and you are the supervisor and producer.

However, when he put these words on his lips, he could not say them out loud.

He had already sensed the strong resentment and murderous intent in Ishino Mika's eyes.

The look of wanting to kill someone cannot be hidden.

"Ahem," Qing Zhiyuan coughed twice and comforted, "Don't worry, this game is so well made, it will definitely surprise the whole world. I want to let the world see that we can still do so well in the field of war chess games!"

I don't know if it can shock the world.

But I was shocked.

Mika Ishino said that she was a little depressed during the process of making the game.

"By the way, President, I'm very curious, are we going to develop a sequel to 86?"

"Of course." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously, "I have already written the outline of the script."

"Ah... I see."

Mika Ishino suddenly regretted that she was too talkative. Why did she ask such a question?

Now that the game has not been released, isn't it just adding new workload for no reason?

If the president suddenly gets impulsive and asks them to seamlessly connect the production, it will be too uncomfortable.

But... it is not easy for 86 to have a sequel after the first one was made like this.

In short, these people discussed for a long time in the president's office about the future direction of 86 production, the upcoming release, and so on.

Of course, Qing Zhiyuan was almost doing ideological construction work for them during the main period of time.

"Don't worry too much, just make the game, and leave the rest to me, understand?" Qing Zhiyuan said confidently.

"Okay, President."

The two walked out of the president's office and were resurrected again.

Makoto Niitsu, who was working outside, was stunned.

My goodness, you just walked in with a depressed look on your face, and Senior Ishino was still so anxious, and Jun Maeda had a similar expression. How come you became so confident and excited after going to the president's office?

What kind of magic does the president know? !

...

In the evening, Makoto Niitsu also came to the president's office to seek Qing Zhiyuan's advice.

Even Jun Maeda and Mika Ishino can get enough motivation and energy here. He must be a great psychologist.

"President."

"What's wrong? Niitsu-san."

When Qing Zhiyuan raised his head when he heard Makoto Niitsu's voice, he was shocked.

Because Makoto Niitsu's condition was really bad.

His eyes were empty, his face was pale, his eyes were dark, his head was drooping, and he walked like a zombie.

It was as if he had lost all his vitality overnight.

His fingers rubbed unconsciously in front of him, making bursts of dull sounds, which made people feel a depressing atmosphere.

Xinjin Cheng's heart was full of confusion and pain. He didn't know why he was in such a state, and he didn't know how to get out of this predicament.

He tried to find the answer, but his heart was like a chaotic ocean, making him unable to find the direction.

"What's wrong? Did they bully you?" Qing Zhiyuan saw his state, stood up quickly, and poured a cup of milk tea for Xinjin Cheng.

Usually, this job was done by Ayase Akane, but this time Qing Zhiyuan didn't call her.

To be honest, it was the first time that Qing Zhiyuan saw a member in such a bad mental state.

This guy felt like he had stayed up all night for a long time.

Xinjin Cheng sat on the sofa, holding the milk tea cup in his hand, and then shook his head gently, "No one bullied me."

"You didn't sleep well during this period, because the 86 is going to be released?"

"No, the company does not advocate overtime, so Ishino Senior is urging us to get off work."

Then...

Why is that?

Qing Zhiyuan was a little confused.

"Did Ishino Mika and Maeda Jun do anything to you?"

"No, my seniors are all very nice to me, and Maeda Jun is also a very good colleague. Sometimes we even go out for barbecue together."

Why is that?

Qing Zhiyuan was a little depressed by his torture.

But after thinking about it for a while, Qing Zhiyuan suddenly realized:

"I know, it's easy for an artist to get caught up in that mood as 86."

Qing Zhiyuan has seen the same phenomenon as Shintsu Makoto many times, and Yokoyama was like this before.

It's very uncomfortable to make a game for Gen Urobuchi, especially when you invest your emotions in the characters, and then find that these cute guys will eventually die under Gen Urobuchi's ruthless iron hand, and die particularly tragically.

Some people will even be worried about gains and losses for a while.

But all this will pass.

Now Yokoyama has become immune to Gen Urobuchi's knife.

Sometimes he even dislikes Gen Urobuchi's knife for not being sharp enough, and his hair knife for not being artistic enough.

For example, in Demon Hunter Demon Egg, Yokoyama made suggestions to Miyazaki Hidetaka more than once, hoping to make these characters lose more.

Even after Eve's head was chopped off, she should be allowed to retain enough perception in the demon's body. If players can enter her inner heart, they will find that Eve has always known what happened outside.

But her soul was sealed by the demon's body, so she had no way to express it and could only become the queen's tool.

This will produce a greater pleasure of soul whipping.

After listening to Yokoyama's suggestions, Miyazaki Hidetaka himself doubted his life.

Isn't one Urobuchi Gen enough? Yokoyama, are you crazy? You actually want to go one step further on the basis of Urobuchi Gen?

What do you want to do?

Fortunately, Miyazaki Hidetaka did not listen to him in the end, and fortunately Urobuchi Gen did not hear Yokoyama's suggestions, otherwise, the number of blades would probably have to double again.

So in Qing Zhiyuan's view, Yokoyama has experienced it, and he can also heal it, so now, if we calculate from the time, it is almost the turn of Shintsu Makoto.

Poor Makoto Niitsu, you have come to this day? !

Think about what you did in your previous life, right?

You are almost the same as Urobuchi.

Qing Zhiyuan actually found it hard to imagine that a simple plot with little twists and turns in 86 could make a tear-jerking master like Makoto Niitsu feel depressed?

After Qing Zhiyuan explained it, Makoto Niitsu slowly shook his head and smiled bitterly, "It's not like that, President. In fact, I am very satisfied with the plot of 86, and I think it will definitely be a great work if it can be made."

"Why is that?" Qing Zhiyuan was a little confused.

…

“I don’t know why.”

Xinjin Cheng shook his head. “During this period of time, I always feel that work is particularly boring. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I always feel a sense of separation.

It seems that this place is not real. Every day when I come to this place to work, my soul is standing behind me and watching me.

Keep painting, painting.

Then change the content according to the needs of the planners.

Make your own paintings better, make the characters in 86 better, and make them all become guys with souls.

I have always stood behind with a God’s perspective and watched myself do such things.

Say Really, there is a feeling of unreality.

I don't understand what happened. 86 is about to be released soon, and I think this game will definitely sell well.

As the main artist, I can also get enough praise.

No matter how Ishino senior and Maeda will be scolded, at least the players are very kind and tolerant to art.

I know all this.

But I don't understand why I lost my strength all of a sudden, as if I was drained of energy.

Am I sick?

President.

What should I do? "

Shintsu Makoto covered his face with some distress, and the whole person looked extremely depressed.

Qing Zhiyuan, who was watching next to him, seemed to be able to feel this strong atmosphere.

If it was drawn into a comic, Shintsu Makoto's body at this time must be emitting a strong black aura, as if he was possessed by a demon.

These black auras are also very contagious. Maybe after a while, everyone in the company will be affected by Xinjin Cheng's emotions.

"But when I saw Ishino senior and Maeda come here and go out happily, I envy them very much."

Xinjin Cheng raised his head and said to Qing Zhiyuan, "So I want to ask the president to give me an answer so that I can go back to work well."

...

Qing Zhiyuan was silent.

In fact, he had also experienced the situation like Xinjin Cheng. It was alienation caused by exploitation by capitalists in his previous life.

Spiritual alienation.

But it shouldn't be, I should be very good to them.

"I understand."

At this moment, Qing Zhiyuan suddenly remembered a question-

Xinjin Cheng himself is a person who is not short of money. His family is a very prestigious big family in the local area. It belongs to the family with billions of assets. If he can't work hard to support himself and create a career, he will be forced to go back to inherit the family property.

Xinjin Cheng is a young master.

In the case of not lacking money, what else can make the young master feel frustrated?

Is it a woman?

If it was a woman, he wouldn't have come to me.

Qing Zhiyuan didn't think he could help a woman who couldn't be solved with money.

Then it should be related to work.

"I understand, Xinjin-san."

Qing Zhiyuan sat down and said to him seriously, "Do you feel that making games in the company is not happy and not what you want?"

"Huh?"

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, Xinjin Cheng suddenly raised his head.

For some reason, his eyes were red.

"Ah... is that so?" Xinjin Cheng himself was a little confused.

"Xinjin-san, do you like making animations?" Qing Zhiyuan continued to ask.

"Huh?"

Xinjin Cheng hesitated for a moment, did not deny it, but just stared at the sky outside the window of the president's office.

"Like the sky, like the stars, like those things floating above humans, just shows that you are an idealist, Shinjin-san."

"Go after your dreams bravely," Qing Zhiyuan encouraged with a smile, "If you think games are not suitable for you, then leave here."

"Huh?"

Shinjin Cheng was shocked and looked at the president in disbelief.

I didn't expect to hear him say such a thing.

But... the president's words were like a key, opening the door hidden deep in his heart.

"But if you want to make animations, I have a new job for you." Qing Zhiyuan laughed.

"I have a film and television company outside, and we will also set up a new film and television animation company later. If you are willing, you can serve as the president of the subsidiary, and then you can make the animation you want.

Give full play to your talents.

And I will fully support you."

"Huh?"

Shinjin Cheng was dumbfounded, but what the president said really hit his heart.

He has never been so clear as now.

Everything Qing Zhiyuan said was right. For Xinjin Cheng, he didn't like games. His biggest dream in life was to become someone like Hayao Miyazaki.

"Really, President?" Xinjin Cheng's voice was obviously crying.

"And I will use my connections to help you," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "You have never made animations before, and you have no relevant experience.

However, I am very familiar with Kyoto Animation and Studio Ghibli. I think they should be able to help you.

When the time comes, we will recruit some experienced and capable staff, and Xinjin Cheng's animation will definitely go global."

"Ah..." Xinjin Cheng was almost moved to tears. At this moment, he didn't know what to say.

"By the way, Shirakawa's music is very suitable for you. If you need it, Pokeni's music or art will give you enough support."

From the day Xinjin Cheng joined the company, Qing Zhiyuan had already prepared for the arrival of this day. Everything before was paving the way for him.

A guy like Shinjin, whose family is rich enough, lives for his ideals all his life, and will definitely not stay in the company for long.

But it's good this way. If Shinjin Cheng can become the president of Yuehe's animation film subsidiary, then there will be one less game original artist in the world, but one more animation film production master.

And this master is trained by himself.

That's good, let the old man Hayao Miyazaki witness your strength!

"Shinjin-san, what do you think?" Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

At this moment, in Shinjin Cheng's eyes, the president has never been so tall.

It's like a sun, emitting warm light all over his body.

"Okay, president, thank you for your care in the future!"

Shinjin Cheng stood up, put his hands on the seam of his pants, and bowed deeply.

...
