Chapter 1514 Very Good, but It Needs to Be Exchanged
Pei Qian felt that this name should be straightforward enough, and not compelling enough, right?
"The future you choose" is actually implying to all players and audiences: if you send money to Tenda in this way now, the final result will be as shown in the games and movies.
This is your choice, so don't blame me if this happens in the future!
So, stop sending money!
Please do me a favor, let Tenda lose some money!
This name can be seen as a warning to all players and viewers, and it is also because Pei Qian does not want to see Tenda making money too quickly.
Many people now have high expectations and fantasies about Tengda. Pei Qian feels that this is a huge resistance to losing money, and he must find a way to dispel it, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
Moreover, this name is also very unpretentious and straightforward, so the possibility of being misunderstood will be correspondingly reduced.
If a name like "Dark Empire" is used to describe Tengda as a huge dark empire, although it also has a good metaphor effect, it may also convey to everyone a kind of "Wow, Tengda Empire is awesome" feeling that this could be counterproductive.
Everyone didn't ask much, but just recorded it silently.
Try to figure it out, you can figure it out!
The name often represents the core idea Mr. Pei wants to express. As long as you can understand it, you will be able to find the core content expressed in this story.
Pei Qian looked around and found that everyone was thinking hard, and suddenly felt flustered again.
Still feel unsafe!
Although he has already said so much, everyone here is full of brains, and they can't imagine what kind of stories they will come up with!
After thinking about it for a while, Pei Qian felt that it was not enough to achieve this level, and he had to be more specific.
He looked at Zhu Xiaoce first.
Among all the people, Pei Qian felt that Zhu Xiaoce was the most threatening, especially in terms of interpretation of the plot, he was the one who could distort the most.
For example, the failure of "Beautiful Tomorrow" is Zhu Xiaoce's fault!
Therefore, this is an object that needs to be focused on.
Pei Qian asked, "Director Zhu, do you have any thoughts on this subject?"
Zhu Xiaoce lifted his spirits: "Mr. Pei, this subject matter is very good. After listening to your speech, I am deeply inspired!"
Pei Qian's expression instantly became serious: "Oh? Tell me, how do you plan to make this movie?"
Zhu Xiaoce sorted out his thoughts and said, "I think this movie has some similarities with "A Better Tomorrow", but the plot must not be repeated with "A Better Tomorrow", right?"
Pei Qian thought for a while: "Yes!"
Repeat "Beautiful Tomorrow" again, what if it becomes popular again? Isn't that the end of the calf.
Zhu Xiaoce continued: "Then this time we must take the route of violent resistance."
"There is a gun-throwing easter egg at the end of "A Better Tomorrow", which is actually the plot interface I left for the sequel of "A Better Tomorrow"."
"Of course, the movie won't be a sequel to 'A Better Tomorrow,' but the logic is the same."
"My idea is this: the protagonist is the leader of the rebel army. His mission is to lead all the people at the bottom to resist the tyranny of the Tenda Group and fight against a large number of corporate military employees and law enforcement robots."
"Of course, the protagonist must have a strong fighting ability. Through genetic medicine, bionic chips and prosthetic transformation, he can gain a strong fighting ability. Because only in this way can he defeat a powerful enemy."
"So, the performance of the protagonist may be like some action blockbusters, with one-to-many, and some seemingly unreasonable famous scenes may be played, but it is absolutely thrilling."
"In this process, we can show the desperate cyberpunk world in more detail, for example: the protagonist hides in the bottom-level homeless group, describing the details of the life of the homeless in that world; the protagonist goes to assassinate some company's High-rise buildings, emphasizing the luxury and prosperity of these high-rise buildings."
"For another example, it can portray the powerful firepower of the company's military employees and law enforcement robots, emphasizing the suffocating sense of oppression like a torrent of steel; while the ubiquitous surveillance probes and network monitoring can highlight the terror of the high-handed rule of the Tenda Group .”
"In this way, advancing layer by layer, you can achieve the effect you want to achieve."
Pei Qian was noncommittal, and asked again: "What about the final result?"
Zhu Xiaoce said: "Of course the end result is just like what you said, the protagonist must have failed!"
"However, I feel that this kind of failure should not be the kind of failure that is directly wiped out and the protagonist dies."
"If it's just this kind of simple failure, it may not have much effect, and the frustration brought to the audience is not strong enough. They may mistakenly think that Tenda Group is too strong, and even develop a mentality of admiration." , which may be a watering down of the thoughts we express."
"I think this kind of failure should be that the protagonist is constantly transforming himself in battle after battle, from genetic medicines to robotic arms to various high-strength bionic chips. Every time the protagonist transforms, the protagonist becomes stronger, but At the same time, he is one point further away from a normal person."
"The protagonist won the war against the Tenda Group at the cost of abandoning his attributes as a normal person. After the victory, the rebel army replaced the Tenda Group. However, it is impossible for people to really give up the convenience brought by high technology."
"Thus, the things left by the Tenda Group will still be used and inherited. The rebels will naturally inherit these things and arrange corresponding people to manage them. However, if they master these resources, they can seek their own interests. , in the cyberpunk world, material prosperity and top-level luxury have reached a very extreme situation."
"At the end of the story, the protagonist dragged his body after the battle to the tallest building overlooking the whole city. In order to be able to overthrow the Tengda Group, he gave everything he had, and became a man who could only rely on genetic medicine, machinery, etc. arms to maintain his life, but at the end of his success, he fell into deep confusion."
"In the end, he passed away with a complicated expression on his face."
"I think this can also correspond to the title of "The Future You Choose", which will make the audience have rich associations."
Pei Qian pondered for a moment, but did not respond.
Because he felt that Zhu Xiaoce's idea seemed okay on the surface, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that there was something wrong.
But let's say there is a problem... and I can't tell where the problem is.
Zhu Xiaoce seems to have designed it according to Pei Qian's request, and the ending basically meets Pei Qian's expectations.
But it always feels weird and unsatisfactory.
Pei Qian looked at Yu Fei and Ye Zhizhou again: "What do you think about the game?"
Yu Fei was a little ashamed: "I... the current plot needs to be changed a little bit, and I don't have a good idea yet."
After a little hesitation, Ye Zhizhou said, "I do have a little design inspiration."
"Since it's a game, the biggest difference from the movie must be the gameplay-driven. This kind of world view is relatively easy to make a variety of gameplay."
"I think the protagonist in the game can be a small person at the bottom of society. Although this society has no channels or room for advancement, he still wants to climb up at all costs."
"The whole game process can last more than ten hours. In the early stage of the game, he hangs out with street gangs and does some petty theft and street transactions. His fighting methods are limited. When he encounters powerful enemies, he can only run and accumulate his own money. Money and connections."
"Then, the combat system was introduced. The protagonist can obtain firearms and participate in weapon fights or street gunfights. The gameplay of the game has also changed from petty theft to violent robbery, and the crime has escalated."
"As the game enters the middle stage, the protagonist is involved in more and more violent incidents, and his network is getting wider and wider, so he can issue tasks as a connector, or lead the younger brother to complete large-scale tasks together."
"However, class restrictions prevent the protagonist from becoming a master even though he has made a name for himself in the underground world, so he carried out a dangerous plan and targeted a young, high-society rich man. "
"The protagonist spent a long time collecting data, using bionic chips to learn the behavior patterns of the rich man, collecting his DNA samples, and successfully kidnapping, killing, and replacing the rich man through the loopholes of the security company."
"After obtaining the status of a rich man, the protagonist starts to use the rich man's resources to whitewash himself, and on the other hand, continues to use legal or illegal means to seek benefits."
"But in the end, his identity was revealed, and Tenda Group dispatched overwhelming law enforcement units to wipe out the protagonist's power."
"At the end of the story, the protagonist's subordinates rebelled, and those who were killed were killed. Only the protagonist was left to resist in the apartment on the roof."
"But facing the overwhelming law enforcement units of the Tengda Group, he fell into despair and jumped from the top of the building."
"But the law enforcement unit didn't let him go. When he was in free fall, he fired intensively, causing him to explode into a firework in midair."
"I mainly think about it from the perspective of gameplay. The change of the protagonist's identity in the early, middle and late stages can bring different experiences to the players, and the powerlessness of the protagonist at the end will make the players feel the same as when facing Tenda Group. A kind of sadness and helplessness."
Pei Qian was silent for a moment.
Finally, I heard something was wrong.
These two ideas are both too powerful!
Isn’t Zhu Xiaoce’s idea similar to The Matrix? Ye Zhizhou's idea is a bit like GTA.
Then this must not work!
If this happens, wouldn't it be a double explosion of movies and games?
But the idea of these two people completely complied with Pei Qian's request. Even if Pei Qian wanted to change it, he couldn't think of how to change it.
Pei Qian was silent for a moment, and said, "I can see that you both have unique skills."
"Actually, I don't have any good suggestions for revision of these two ideas."
"However, I think you two should change your ideas."
"Director Zhu, your idea is for Yu Fei and Ye Zhizhou to make games; Ye Zhizhou, your idea is for Director Zhu to make a movie."
