Chapter 411 3A Games
"Tell me first, do you have any specific ideas?" Jiang Heng put down the pen in his hand and motioned Lu Feng to the tea table nearby.
After the latter sat down, he saw Jiang Heng washing and brewing tea skillfully. He was stunned for a few seconds before saying, "Well, I want to develop a 3A masterpiece with "Journey to the West" as the theme."
Jiang Heng smiled, "Change it!"
"Change?"
Lu Feng was a little confused and for a moment he couldn't understand what Director Jiang meant.
"The subject matter of Journey to the West is too precious. With the current level of computer hardware, many of the detailed images and scenes cannot be reproduced at all!"
What Jiang Heng said was not without basis. It is said that when "Black Myth: Wukong" was originally designed, there were a total of thirteen levels.
Because the four-year construction period was too short, "Lion Camel Ridge" and "Kingdom of Daughters" were not produced.
However, the scene in the first trailer where Sun Wukong fights against 100,000 heavenly soldiers did not appear in the game.
In fact, it is because during the testing, we found that the consumption of art resources is too large, and we really can’t carry it!
So even if we want to make "Black Myth: Wukong", we will have to wait for a few years.
But Lu Feng was not mentally prepared for this and was stunned by Jiang Heng's words. He was stunned for several seconds before he said, "So, Director Jiang, what do you mean?"
"Well, let's start with some online novels!"
Lu Feng frowned when he heard this. "But online novels are not well-known, and the plot and setting are not detailed enough. The protagonist is not comparable to the Monkey King Sun Wukong, who is familiar to everyone. The risk of loss is too great!"
Jiang Heng laughed and said, "Iron Fist Technology has such a high profit every year. They can make money just by selling some 'skins' and 'props'. Why are you afraid of this?"
"Well, that's true!" Lu Feng smiled awkwardly.
Since the big bosses are not afraid of losing money, he, as an employee, can only have some options at most, so what is there to be afraid of?
After thinking for a while, he said, "How about making a 3A game of Zhu Xian first?"
Jiang Heng nodded. "Sure. Profits are not important. The key is to train the team. I hope to see a mature game production team in a few years that is capable of making a 3A game based on Journey to the West."
Lu Feng said excitedly: "Director Jiang, don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I definitely believe you. I won't let you do 'Journey to the West' for the time being because I'm afraid the quality will be bad and it will be wasted!"
Lu Feng couldn't help but ask, "Director Jiang means to achieve movie-like picture quality?"
"of course!"
Lu Feng couldn't help but take a breath and said with a wry smile: "It will take a few years!"
Jiang Heng smiled: "My idea is that we should astonish the world as soon as we make a product and make it a model of cultural output. The quality must be excellent!"
When Lu Feng heard this, he already wanted to back out.
In fact, he is not that obsessed with 3A games. Online games make a lot of money!
The reason why I came to ask Jiang Heng for instructions was because of the suggestion made by my subordinates.
He thought it was good, so he came over to chat with Jiang Heng.
In his expectation, Jiang Heng would just listen casually and ask a few questions.
Then he allocated funds to set up a team, and spent four to five years to produce a work. As long as he didn't lose money, it would be considered a success.
I didn’t expect Jiang Heng to have such high expectations for the 3A game of “Journey to the West”. This is not something that can be done casually.
What if Director Jiang is dissatisfied with the project during its development? Wouldn’t I be the one who would be in trouble?
Fortunately, the game theme has been changed to "Zhu Xian", and there are no requirements on quality or performance.
If he were to make "Journey to the West" with the same quality as a movie, he would really want to die!
But when Lu Feng left, his expression was a bit amusing, both happy and sad.
Jiang Heng didn't care too much, thinking whether he could make a movie based on the plot of Black Myth: Wukong. However, this would conflict with the work he was adapting, A Chinese Odyssey. It would be bad to make two "Journey to the West" films in a row!
I was feeling conflicted and my thoughts were a bit confused, so I didn't write anything the whole afternoon.
When it was almost time to get off work, Jing Tian came over and asked Jiang Heng how his writing was going and what he wanted to eat in the evening.
"Well, just take a bite, whatever you like!"
Jing Tian was puzzled and stepped forward to ask, "Is the script revision not going smoothly?"
"Not really, I just suddenly got some inspiration, and my mind is full of other stories. I can't continue writing the love story of Zhizunbao and Zixia!"
"Another story? Is it Journey to the West again?"
"Ok!"
"Then write what you are inspired by!"
"Don't you still want to play Zixia?"
Da Tiantian pouted and said, "I just want to film with you. Whether I play the leading lady or a supporting role, I will be very happy. However, I can't just focus on my own happiness and make things difficult for you! If you are unhappy, I will be sad too!"
Jiang Heng was actually a little touched after hearing this, and couldn't help but rub her little head and ruffle her hair.
"Where did you learn all this from?"
Da Tiantian protested, "I just said it from my heart!"
"Well, I believe you! Then I will write a new story!"
"Okay, okay, I want to see it first!"
After saying that, Da Tiantian stayed on the sofa, conscientiously browsing her tablet.
Jiang Hengze sat down in front of the computer again, recalling the plot of "Black Myth: Wukong", and typed the first word on the document.
Jiang Heng played until about eight o'clock in the evening. He finally stopped, stood up and stretched.
Da Tiantian hurriedly got down from the sofa and went to look at the documents on the computer.
But it said, "Black Myth: Wukong, after returning from the Western Paradise, Sun Wukong declined the title of "Fighting Buddha", but was put on the Heavenly Court's killing list because of this. All the monkeys in the Flower and Fruit Mountain were killed, and Sun Wukong was also killed by Erlang Shen, and his body disappeared..."
"Ah, Monkey is dead?"
Jing Tian covered his mouth lightly, with an expression of extreme surprise and a little sadness.
It can only be said that the literary image of Sun Wukong is really rooted in the minds of Chinese people. Da Tiantian felt inexplicably sad after reading only the first few sentences of the story outline.
"Ok!"
Seeing Jiang Heng's flat response, Jing Tian couldn't help but frown, "I remember that Xixi once filmed a movie called "The Forbidden Kingdom", starring Brother Cheng Long and Jet Li. In the movie, the Monkey King was sealed at the beginning, right? Then the protagonist went through untold hardships and finally rescued the Monkey King. Isn't it similar?"
Jiang Heng was speechless. Similar? There was no comparison at all.
"The Forbidden Kingdom" combines elements of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Shaolin Temple", "Drunken Master" and other movies into one movie, without caring whether it is reasonable or not!
Especially the creation of a so-called "Jade Territory God of War" is totally unacceptable!
Jiang Heng tapped Jing Tian on the forehead gently and said, "Don't make random associations. They can't be compared at all!"
"Oh!"
Da Tiantian looked annoyed, "I was wondering where you got your idea from. I meant that the movie is really not that good. Don't learn from it, or you will ruin your reputation!"
