Chapter 673 577 You Must Be Able to See the Moon in the Sky and Bend Down to Pick up the Sixpence on the Ground

As soon as the E3 Electronics Show ended in July, Pokeni struck while the iron was hot and officially launched the new game "Spirited Away" at the end of the month.

It is still sold online and offline at the same time.

As soon as it was released, it broke through a million sales on the first day.

Although everyone found it incredible, it seemed reasonable.

Mainly because since the movie was released in April, "Spirited Away" has been very popular all over the world, and the box office performance has also broken the historical high, becoming the best-selling movie in the history of Japanese movie box office.

Not only in Japan, but also in Europe, America, China and other countries, it can be described as a big hit.

Even though it is already July, the popularity of Spirited Away still does not seem to diminish.

In Japan, the number of screenings has not decreased, but is also steadily increasing.

It can be said that "Spirited Away" is simply a national-level movie.

With such high appeal and box office influence as a guarantee, when the game advertisement of "Spirited Away" was launched, it naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.

…

What’s more, in July, Paradox Club brought this game to the E3 Electronics Show, and the whole world witnessed its style.

This is not a shoddy game that relies on gimmicks and appearance to deceive consumers and players. What’s more terrible is that the content of the game is almost the same as the promotion.

This is amazing.

According to industry insiders, Pokeni’s animation rendering technology has reached its peak and can reflect the feeling of a big movie.

When players play the game, they can get a super immersive feeling, just like exploring in the real world.

It is like wandering in the game like a protagonist.

And the game is not completely a replica of the movie. In this game, Pokeni has made a very clever setting:

First of all, the world view is consistent with Spirited Away. The temple is still the entrance, and then it opens to a magical world.

In this world, there is still Yubaba’s oil house.

However, the protagonist of the story has changed. It is no longer Chihiro.

Instead, it has become a girl named Kitazawa Maki who is also 10 years old.

The same cute round face, the same courage and indomitable spirit, and the heart is full of kindness.

The game is set after Chihiro left the other world, and Xiaobailong has been liberated, but the other contents in this world do not seem to have changed much.

There are even many people from different worlds who came here but forgot their original names, lost their way and were forced to become workers for Tangbaba.

These touching people who lost their names include humans, monsters, and other gods.

Players can move freely in the entire [God of War World], working in the oil house, solving puzzles and saving those guys who lost their names, and finding their way home.

What's more interesting is that you can explore a big movie world full of imagination and Miyazaki's personal style here, and learn about his unknown settings and the parts that have been expanded.

The deeper you go into the game, the more you will sigh.

It is really a blessing to have a master like Miyazaki in this world. What he brings to players is not only rich imagination and creativity, but also beautiful and moving stories.

Here, you can experience the deep meaning contained:

For example, being enslaved and exploited to become a worker for Yubaba, and the bottom after losing their name and self.

For example, because of desire, they lose themselves and become ugly gods one by one.

There are also two sides of the same coin, and the twins Yubaba and Zeniba bring various inspirations to players.

In short, even if you have not seen the movie, you can get a brand new experience in this game, a journey of spiritual purification.

The integrated and expanded parts are partly from Miyazaki's ideas, and partly from the design of the pokeni team.

But these designs have some shadows of Mushishi, which is also the inspiration Miyazaki got after playing pokeni's game.

Integrating some strange stories that look very traditional and antique but make people feel extremely novel, the final core is profound, touching, warm and healing, and thought-provoking.

This kind of game is Miyazaki's ideal game, and it lives up to his "Spirited Away" IP.

Pokeni really did this.

However, what makes it different from Mushishi is that:

Spirited Away is no longer an open-world puzzle game, but an open-world exploration and action game.

Chihiro needs to jump, climb, bend, and even crawl in the game. When crossing the sea of ​​clouds, she has to row a boat by herself...

The game is even full of interesting boss battles.

For example, in the bathhouse, when you wash the body of the river god, you need to fight against the filth in its body. If you are stained, you will lose blood, and every time you pull out the dirt on its body, the dirt will jump around on the ground, catching you off guard.

The faceless man will devour others and disguise himself as different people. You must be able to accurately identify his true form in the process of defeating him. More importantly, you must keep getting the people he eats out.

Otherwise, the faceless man will become more and more powerful.

In addition, there are all kinds of bosses, some of them are monsters, some are gods, and they all have very unique types of gameplay.

Players can also experience unprecedented action game modes in the game.

It makes people scream with excitement.

It can be said that the game "Spirited Away" is a masterpiece of the era that truly achieves the ultimate in [story], [creation], [picture], [music] and [gameplay].

You can hardly find any faults in it.

As long as the players who have played the game, basically no one gave a bad review. At most, they said that they are not players of this type of game, but gave full praise and affirmation to the game.

This is the perfect combination of hard power and soft power.

It is estimated that only pokeni can accomplish this in the world.

At the end of the game, the players were surprised to find that it turned out that the oil house opened by Yubaba was equivalent to washing away the filth on the gods, and at the same time repairing the damage to the natural environment caused by the human world.

Dirty garbage polluted the river god, and human destruction of the environment caused the forest god to get sick...

But these were all solved to a certain extent in the oil house.

In the final analysis, it is still a kind of self-reflection of mankind:

Are we improvers or destroyers of this world? Will the world become better without humans?

Who is really needed in this world?

What is the meaning of human existence?

It seems to whitewash Yubaba, but in fact it is complicated, making Yubaba a very complex but impressive and charming character who will have nightmares at night.

Because Yubaba did good things, such as purifying rivers and forests, and comforting those gods who gradually disappeared due to the lack of human faith.

But at the same time, she uses and tricks the monsters, gods, and humans who enter this world, making them gradually lose themselves in the process of working, and finally become a member of the oil house.

Of course, there are also many players who stand on the side of Yubaba, believing that [the reason why people become Yubaba's workers is mainly driven by desire and lose themselves]

[Only by being firm in their hearts and not being bewitched can people achieve the final victory]

…

After the game was released, it set off the entire game market the next day.

This is not only a carnival for Japanese players, but also a surprise for players all over the world.

"Ah! The Spirited Away game is better than I thought. This is a very positive evaluation. I am not being sarcastic.

I was already shocked when I first saw the related promotion."

"Also, I think the pokeni is also quite good. It does not completely follow the narrative structure of the Spirited Away movie to fill in the story, but adopts a new protagonist and main line, allowing us to re-explore the world and understand the truth of the world."

"The truth may not be discussed in the end, but it is true that you can gain a lot of growth and ideological sublimation."

"It's mainly because of Ghibli, or more precisely, Hayao Miyazaki is so good, After all, the movie itself has set the tone.

Spirited Away is Miyazaki's reflection on human nature and the world, and all the questionable things he has learned throughout his life are mixed in it.

However, there is one advantage of the game, that is, there is no limit on the length. The movie is 2 hours, and the game can be played for 40 hours or even 100 hours.

So a lot of details are added in the game, so that we can also have a better understanding of the world of Spirited Away.

Each character has become more vivid.

Even Yubaba is not that annoying.

Although I still feel scared at night, I think that Yubaba is also purifying the world. I feel a little relieved for those who have made contributions. "

"Andersen created fairy tales, and Hayao Miyazaki expressed profound connotations through fairy tales. I admire this very much.

It is really rare to be able to pursue oneself in the game, and at the same time feel the good and bad, good and evil of human beings, and think deeply about life, nature, and desires during the game.

No matter which aspect, "Spirited Away" is a good game. "

"A masterpiece, absolutely a well-deserved masterpiece."

"The part that impressed me the most was the part of riding the sea train:

The picture is really beautiful, even if you ride back and forth for a day.

Riding the sea train, looking at the outside Blue sky and white clouds, and then driving on the sea, it is very shocking, but after the shock, my heart has gained great peace.

Life is a train to the grave, there will be many stops along the way, and it is difficult for someone to accompany you from beginning to end. When the person who accompanies you wants to get off, even if you are reluctant, you should be grateful and wave goodbye. "

"The sentence that impressed me most about the game is:

No matter how rugged the road ahead is, as long as the direction is correct, it is closer to happiness than standing still.

People live with hope and dreams in their hearts. No matter how difficult the road is, stick to dreams and hopes, and you will not go wrong. "

"Hahaha, the sentence that impressed me most about games and movies is——

Don't eat too fat, you will be killed! "

"Hahahaha, me too. When I saw the fat pigs in the pigsty and then looked at the fried chicken in my hand, I instantly felt a little numb.

I quickly put down the fried chicken. "

"I'm different, I can eat with peace of mind. Being a human is so tiring, what's wrong with being a pig?

After eating, sleeping, eating, and then being imprisoned, it was just a matter of one knife. "

“In the end, it’s still that sentence, and it’s also what pokeni wants to tell us, right?——

Only by not forgetting your original intention can you achieve success.

People of different ages have different perceptions of "Spirited Away". A 40-year-old middle-aged man like me burst into tears after watching it. When I thought about it carefully, I found that I had long forgotten my childhood dreams. It has become the most common one among millions of templates in the world.

The pokeni game, in fact, I feel that ultimately I hope you can find your own most beautiful and true original intention through enlightenment.

If you also want to experience it, you might as well go and play it. The game is worth buying and the movie is worth watching.

In short, this is definitely a movie survival game that must be experienced in life.

highly recommended. "

"I admire you,

pokeni has truly stayed true to its original aspirations and still insists on game innovation, striving to bring us the latest, funniest, most interesting, shocking and touching games.

I love this company so much. "

…

This time, Qing Zhiyuan took the initiative to call Miyazaki Hayao before he could call him.

"The game is selling well, thank you Miyazaki-senpai and Studio Ghibli for your contribution."

Hayao Miyazaki was slightly stunned.

Good guy, you've already said what I want to say, so what else can I say?

"No, no, your game is still well done. This time it perfectly expresses what we want.

Qingsang, you are a game producer with feelings, ideals, thoughts and dreams.

He is also an amazing entrepreneur. "

This time, it is equivalent to Pokeni and Ghibli teaming up to convey some universal values ​​of truth, goodness and beauty that exist among people through movies and games. However, the carrier of this communication is very oriental. Not only is the architecture antique, It also contains a lot of neon culture.

Coupled with various gods and monsters, it is equivalent to a cultural spread to the world.

The game itself is also a carrier for expressing thoughts and disseminating ideas. At this point, Hayao Miyazaki fully affirmed Qing Zhiyuan.

At the same time, Qing Zhiyuan is not entirely idealistic. Compared with Hayao Miyazaki himself, he is a very pragmatic person. Not only can he create thoughtful game works, he can also make beautiful movies. It's rare to be able to make it grounded enough.

In Qing Zhiyuan’s own words——

He did not want to become a saint of the times, nor did he want to instill some values ​​​​in the world.

However, being able to make players like it in the game and at the same time spread more truth, goodness and beauty to make people think about it is actually the ultimate pursuit.

People, you must be able to see the moon in the sky, and you must also be able to bend down and pick up sixpence on the ground.

This is Qing Zhiyuan’s philosophy of life.

At the same time, this is probably a very important reason why he was able to build the company to such a scale and become the world's largest game manufacturer.

If you only have ideals and cannot eat enough, if you only eat without ideals, people are just like maggots.

People need to eat and maintain their ideals.

You have to stand and earn the money.

This is Qing Zhiyuan.

However, to a certain extent, Studio Ghibli has contributed a lot. If "Spirited Away" had not been released globally, thereby increasing players' awareness and allowing many viewers to understand the game world in advance, At the same time, if you have a certain understanding of some traditional oriental culture, and you suddenly start playing this game, the experience will actually be much different.

On the one hand, you may not be able to understand the game clearly and understand the profound thoughts contained in the game.

On the other hand, there may be some shortcomings in the experience, which makes people think that this is just an "action game that is quite interesting and has good graphics", but it only stays at this level.

But after receiving the blessing of Ghibli, players will understand, oh, this is what it is like.

After the game is over, there will be a deeper understanding, resulting in a more complete experience.

"So, has Ghibli ever considered what to make for its next movie?" Qing Zhiyuan asked with a smile.

Hayao Miyazaki was stunned.

Good guy, didn’t Spirited Away just come out, are you in a hurry?

No, when did this guy Qing Zhiyuan become a supervisor? !

"Qingsang, as a human being, you still have to take a breath occasionally."

"But, we are already considering the next movie."
