Chapter 430 334 President, You Are a Genius

Chapter 430 334. President, you are really a genius

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.

He also arranged for the art department to help produce a short animation.

The content of the animation is very simple, which is to show the process of Neo dodging countless bullets from the front in slow motion in The Matrix.

No need to color, just ordinary line drawings, and even the characters don’t need to be drawn too detailed.

As long as the storyboard effect can meet the requirements.

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

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

Now that Tsuda Nao is pregnant, she has handed over the company’s affairs to Qing Zhiyuan and Ichibashi Fumi to handle early.

In fact, Tsuda Nao usually doesn’t care much, and Qing Zhiyuan basically has the final say.

She is also happy to be idle.

After reading the storyboard and project plan given to her by Qing Zhiyuan, Ichihashi Fumi was simply astonished.

"Wow! Qingsang, you are really a genius."

This project plan for The Matrix not only has a very sophisticated narrative method, but also is really amazing in the storyboard.

Even if Ichihashi Fumi had not watched the animation video made by Qing Zhiyuan, the storyboard alone was enough for her to imagine the specific action scenes.

Moreover, in the movie script, the kind of numbing feeling that made people's scalp tingle, from the beginning the whole world changed from real to unreal, at that moment, Ichihashi Fumi's brain really buzzed.

It felt like the whole worldview was overturned.

Moreover, after reading the entire project plan, Ichihashi Fumi still hasn't recovered from the shock.

There was even a doubt at one point - whether this world is real.

Could we also be some kind of virtual creatures?

Or, the real me is now being cultivated by robots like saplings and flowers somewhere?

Just to get enough energy from my brain?

Ah!

I can't think about it anymore, or I'll go crazy.

Ichihashi Fumi raised her head suddenly, her eyes full of shock.

"This is definitely the most shocking script I've seen so far."

Qing Zhiyuan smiled and shook her head, saying modestly: "Miss Ichihashi, you're too kind, this is just a little idea of ​​mine."

But Ichihashi Fumi shook her head firmly, and she said seriously: "No, Qingsang, this is definitely not just a little idea. Your storyboard and plan are like treasures that fell from the sky, making me tremble all over."

She stood up and showed a part of her arm, "Look, I have goose bumps."

Qing Zhiyuan showed a faint smile on his face, and he said softly: "Really? I just hope to bring some new inspiration and creativity to Miss Ichihashi."

He had the same feeling when he first watched The Matrix.

Shocked, his scalp numbed.

The truth of the world catches people off guard, and after watching it, they will doubt reality.

Qing Zhiyuan understood the psychological state of Yiqiao Wenhui very well.

Everyone has gone through this.

I am not a genius, nor do I have the ability to create. I am just a porter in the future.

A glimmer of appreciation flashed in Yiqiao Wenhui's eyes, and she said with emotion: "Qingsang, you are not only a genius, but also a visionary. Your storyboards and plans are not only to cater to the needs of the market, but also to explore the boundaries of art."

While praising, she reread the documents and storyboards she had just read, and she was still shocked after reading them again.

Yes, this is simply a work of art.

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

If The Matrix comes out, then the movie trilogy will definitely leave a strong mark in the history of global cinema.

Moreover, it not only has extremely profound philosophical thinking and rich imagination, but also has a wonderful story and a fast-paced plot, which makes people excited, especially those wonderful fighting scenes. After reading the storyboard script given by Qing Zhiyuan, she can already imagine how exciting this movie should be.

No one will want to go to the bathroom during the whole process, right?

And...

According to Ichihashi Fumi's own evaluation, this movie not only has high artistic value, but also has high commercial value.

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

"So how are we going to shoot this movie, oh no, The Matrix trilogy?" Ichihashi Fumi asked.

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

"Okay, okay." Ichihashi Fumi nodded, "I think so too."

The project plan is actually very biased. All the names of the characters in the movie are obviously not Japanese names, but Western names.

This shows that Qing Zhiyuan was targeting the North American market from the beginning.

"Can we really achieve such an effect?" Yiqiao Fuhui was a little worried.

"No problem," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Pokeni's 3D technology has been developed to a new stage. By then, film and television special effects and rendering technology will be just a by-product of the game.

You don’t have to worry about the post-production special effects. "

"Oh, that way there will be no problem." Hitotsubashi Fumie laughed happily.

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

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

"Okay." Hitotsubashi Fumi nodded.

The two discussed the details again and almost reached an agreement.

The follow-up matters will be left to Hitotsubashi, and it will not be a big problem for her to serve as the chief producer of the film.

"By the way, Qingsang, do you have any requirements for the film's director and casting?" Fumi Hitotsubashi asked before the meeting ended.

"Um……"

Qing Zhiyuan thought for a while. In his previous life, the director and screenwriter of The Matrix were all from Warner Bros. Now it is unrealistic to want the original crew to film.

"I have only one request. The male lead must be Keanu Reeves. You can handle the rest."

"Okay." Hitotsubashi Fumi nodded with deep understanding.

Keanu Reeves is actually quite famous at this point in time. In 1994, he starred in "Speed" which was well received. Keanu Reeves also successfully became an excellent action star, and The elegant and mysterious temperament exuding from her body is actually rare and is liked by many people.

Comparing it to Neo in the script, Hitotsubashi immediately discovered——

This script was almost tailor-made for Keanu Reeves.

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

After all, casting is a matter of great disruption and luck.

Just like "Titanic", which is about to be released this year, Cameron originally wanted to cast Johnny Depp as the leading actor, and he never thought that DiCaprio was good-looking, a little too feminine, soft and thin, but in the end he was unhappy By chance, Xiao Lizi was chosen to play the leading role.

Who can say well about these things?

"By the way, there is one more thing," Hitotsubashi Fumie frowned, "About the budget..."

"You are the producer, you come up with the statistics," Qing Zhiyuan smiled, "Set it at 100 million US dollars first. If it is not enough, we will increase it later."

"Okay." Fumie Hitotsubashi smiled broadly.

Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao are indeed rich.

However, if you want to invest in a movie like this, you really can't get it without one or two billion.

As a producer, Fumi Hitotsubashi expressed that he is very motivated and needs to work hard.

"correct,"

Before ending the meeting, Qing Zhiyuan stopped Fumi Hitotsubashi again.

"Huh?" Ichihashi was already ready to pack his things and go have a big fight, but he turned around when he heard Qing Zhiyuan's voice.

"One more thing," Qing Zhiyuan said seriously, "for martial arts instructors, please be sure to use martial arts fingers from Xiangjiang, China, preferably Yuan Heping."

The success of The Matrix, in addition to the performance of the actors, the amazing script and special effects, there is another very crucial point -

That is to use Yuan Heping, also known as Ba Ye, a Chinese who is known as the number one martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, as the chief martial arts instructor. This makes the fights in the movie smooth and gorgeous, making people enjoy watching it, and at the same time, it has It has quite a sense of beauty.

It not only reflects the extraordinary fighting power of the people in The Matrix, but also allows audiences around the world to feel the charm of Chinese martial arts.

One thing is to play well, to play elegantly and full of artistry. Except for the Chinese martial arts, I am afraid no one can do it at this time.

…

Hitotsubashi moved quickly. After the company's royal screenwriter refined the script, she immediately drew up a project and flew to the United States.

About a week later, Qing Zhiyuan received good news from Hitotsubashi Fumi from the United States.

The project has passed the review and has been registered and filed with the Screenwriters Guild, the Copyright Administration and related agencies.

This is actually a complete process for making a movie.

After you file the record first, there will be no subsequent disputes due to duplication of scripts. For example, if you want to shoot a movie, you may have a good idea and story. You often have to go to the relevant departments to file and check for duplication before the movie is shot. .

If there is already a similar subject matter and there is a certain risk of plagiarism, then the filming will not be possible.

In this case, you need to buy the other party's copyright before you can make it into a movie.

It seems like a complicated process, but it actually protects property rights.

Since Yuehe's registration was successful, it means that there was no script with a high similarity in the past.

After hearing the 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. Choosing a good director and actors and making the movie well are also crucial. Although Qing Zhiyuan said that there are no problems on a technical level, he will still worry about the completion of the film. .

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

What Yuehe can do is to put the most suitable candidates together and increase the probability of success.

As for pokeni, all it can control is the post-production special effects.

…

"What?! Bullet time?"

When Ken Akanishi heard this plan, his brain almost exploded.

What the hell is bullet time?

"Slowing down the time in the entire game, and normalizing the time of only the protagonist, ah... this is very difficult to achieve."

The program director, Ken Akanishi, was slumped in a chair at this time, holding his chest with his hands, his head drooping, and his facial features were squeezed together throughout the process, almost making him sweat.

It can be seen how much he resists such rude, shameless and terrifying demands in his heart.

If it weren't for the president sitting across from him, all he wanted to do now was curse.

"Why not 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 be handed over to that country."

Qing Zhiyuan has already confirmed this with Breivik, and the reason why it was handed over to the American subsidiary for production is also very simple——

The movie will be released in North America, and since we already have the foundation for "Border" and the shooting part, it is more appropriate for the game to be produced there.

“However, the engine must be developed here.” Qing Zhiyuan said, “The engine is shared within the company. Don’t reinvent the wheel. And letting you develop this function naturally has its role.

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

The game engine, as the name suggests, is just like the engine of a car. It is the core part of the game. To be more precise, it is a development tool.

As long as Neon's engine can be constantly updated and iterated, new changes will be made based on the hardware, and it will remain world-leading...

Then pokeni will be invincible.

It would be a bit wasteful to repeatedly develop two different engines and use different programming methods.

It was also for this purpose that Qing Zhiyuan handed over the engine to Akanishi Ken for development.

"You just pull out a new engine project team to specialize in making engines. Our company's first PC game engine, let's call it——

emmmm…”

Qing Zhiyuan thought for a moment and said, "That's it, pioneer. The implication is that as a pioneer in the world's gaming field, we can keep our technology at the forefront of the world.

Exploring for the sake of game for all mankind.

We should move forward courageously and constantly explore new areas. "

Ken Akanishi was about to cry.

I don’t want to be a pioneer, I just want to get the job done honestly.

President, you just make it more difficult for us every day, and you don't care whether the children can keep up with their studies.

Is this really good?

Ken Akanishi feels like his head is going to explode over the past few years.

I will be tossed around again every once in a while, and I can hardly take a breath. I originally thought that the company's 3D games are now on the right track. There should be no such demand for qualitative changes, and they can slowly iterate and evolve, right?

Unexpectedly, he still underestimated Qing Zhiyuan's creativity.

However, due to the pressure from the president, Akanishi Ken could not refuse in person, but nodded, "Okay, then I will bring Ozawa together to form a new engine project team, which is to develop a dedicated engine for the PC. Bar?"

"It is best to package them together. The engine can not only support game development on PC, but also smoothly support game development on PS, and package them into different formats."

Ah this...

Akanishi Ken felt a little regretful, he shouldn't have asked this question just now.

"Let's do our best."

Different underlying compilation modes make it difficult to transcribe and transplant, and who knows whether Sony will update it in the future?

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

Moreover, 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, Ken Akanishi was stunned.

"Isn't it? Do you want to do this?"

"It is not necessary for the camera, but the game mechanism must be able to achieve this. When the male protagonist uses the bullet time skill, all surrounding time will slow down. This time speed is made to be adjusted by planning and configuration.

The protagonist's actions are normal. "

Hiss...

Ken Akanishi gasped.

The president made it seem easy, but in reality it was completely different.

"This can't be realized..."

Akanishi Ken crossed his hands and thought hard, "Now there is only one main process in the game, and it is not difficult to change the time. All you need to do is make the original play frequency and game clock faster.

But the problem is that there is no way to make partial changes.

Either they all speed up together, or they all slow down together.

It is actually quite difficult to separate it. "

Qing Zhiyuan smiled proudly. He already knew that Ken Akanishi was going to use this as an excuse.

"This problem is easy to solve, Akanishi-san, didn't you just explain the plan clearly?

The reason why it can't be done is because our current game has only one main process. There is of course a problem with using the same clock for management and counting.

You don't need to split the content in the game separately, you just need to make different process channels.

Support multi-process coordination, there can be a total clock to control the overall situation, but also provide different clocks to manage separately.

Just finish these contents, and the bullet time in the game can be realized.

The rest is left to the planner and the programmer over there to handle, no problem at all.

The advantage of splitting different process channels is that different steps in the game can be realized in the future.

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

Qing Zhiyuan said firmly.

The most obvious asynchronous in the game is that we can make Breath of the Wild in the future, and Link time is very famous.

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

If such a game has no flaws in the plot, the first one that appears will generally become a classic.

"Okay, President. "

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

Damn it!!!

Why is the president so awesome?!
