Number One Game Designer

What is the country with the strongest cultural output in the world now?

Without a doubt, America.

After World War II, the United States relied on ten aircraft carrier formation groups, 374 military bases in more than 140 countries, 10,000 nuclear warheads, and the annual total military expenditure ranked first, which can be said to suppress the world in all aspects. Interpreted the phrase "everything within the range of a cannon is the truth".

In terms of cultural output, there are many representatives of its cultural symbols, the main one of which is America's own cowboy culture.

The United States was founded in the 18th century, and then from the 18th to the 19th century, in order to develop the western part of the United States, the United States began to have the existence of cowboys. At that time, the United States imported cattle from abroad, and then drove them to the west with the help of cowboys. Inside, in this process, the wilderness gradually turned into a town, and disorder slowly returned to order, which can be regarded as a typical process of human beings conquering nature.

It sounds nice to call it a cowboy, but to put it bluntly, it is actually a pioneering movement. This kind of thing happened in every country in the world, at least in most countries. Otherwise, where did everyone live? It can't be possible that the range of human habitation has been like this since ancient times, right?

But what is different from other countries is that the United States relies on its own military strength to make cowboys a culture and sell them all over the world.

What do cowboys look like in today's TV comic book movies? Lasso, cowboy scarf, denim jacket, cowboy hat, spiked boots, and a revolver that will be pulled out of the holster if there is a disagreement, as if they are in charge of being handsome all day long in the process of pioneering the wild west. A night out at a bar is the same. And never mention that cowboys actually spend most of their time driving cattle, cleaning horses and shoveling horse manure. This process is the processing of art.

Fang Xi is of course familiar with this kind of culture, and now after Liu Hai's reminder, he also suddenly realized that China also has such a group of heroes!

Passing through the Guandong Pass refers to the Shanhaiguan pass that is familiar to northerners. This pass defines the Central Plains inside the pass and the bitter cold land outside the pass. In the past, although the land outside the pass was fertile, but at that time outside the pass, there was heavy snow in winter, and thousands of mountains and birds flew away. Thousands of people disappeared, but there was no way out until the eighteenth century. On the one hand, it was because of natural disasters. At that time, the lower reaches of the Yellow River were hit by disasters year after year, and the people in the lower reaches of the Yellow River had to flee north to survive; The government is rotten, and the country is also in a situation of internal and external troubles, which makes the life of the people in the Central Plains in the customs go from bad to worse.

Under such circumstances, for a better life, this great population migration, which has a rich history in China, started like this. This breakthrough laid the foundation for a good industrialization of the Republic.

Fang Xi is not a cultural idiot, on the contrary, he knows and cares more about these histories than Liu Hai, so when Liu Haixu was talking halfway, Fang Xi directly made a decision:

"Needless to say!"

As soon as Liu Hai said this, he immediately forgot what he thought about later. He is a fan of this novel. It is especially a pity that this novel does not have a suitable person to adapt it into a game. Now, Hong Yi is undoubtedly It is the closest company to this qualification, but now it seems that this opportunity is going to disappear?

But Fang Xi's gentle smile dispelled Liu Hai's worries:

"The right to adapt the game of this novel is decided by Hongyi!"

Only then did Liu Hai put his heart back into his stomach, and stroked his chest lightly. He can still feel the powerful beating of his heart because he was scared just now.

"As for the cost..." Fang Xi paced back and forth in the office for two steps, turned around and said to Liu Hai seriously: "It's up to you to discuss this matter, and the cost will not be set for the time being, but we must convince the other party that our sincerity is Yes, in essence, we want to portray the people who pioneered the black soil when they broke through the Guandong into the same heroes, just like the American cowboys."

The beating of the heart in Liu Hai's chest became more violent. Before he came, he felt that being recognized by Fang Xi was already the best result.

In the end, I didn't expect that the result would be three points better. Not setting a cost limit meant that Hong Yi really showed all his sincerity and wanted to get the right to adapt the novel at all costs. This is a result I never dared to imagine.

Lu Qiu was also taken aback by Fang Xi's words of "no cost", but then it dawned on her that she could see clearly from the outside that Boss Fang really wanted to fight a cultural anti-invasion war, since it was already a war It is meaningless to calculate the cost, because once your culture is successfully invaded, these so-called costs can be recovered thousands of times.

War is essentially a process of gambling.

"Guaranteed to complete the task!" Excited, Liu Hai almost saluted. Fortunately, he realized it at the last moment, put down his hands and adjusted his posture, touched the back of his head, and said with a smile:

"However, I think it shouldn't be too difficult. Although Mr. Zhou Hexuan, the author of "Black Soil", has passed away, their tutoring style is very good, and the Zhou family is also in business, so they don't have that kind of book business spirit. To be clear in detail, the probability of this cooperation being negotiated is very high.”

"That's good." Fang Xi breathed a sigh of relief. If it's this kind of game, the safest thing to do is to use the IP to clear the way. Because it is a masterpiece, it means that it will be easier to explain the plot and so on, and the IP will also bring stability. For the group, generally good things can't be better.

Of course, you can also write your own script, but if you write it yourself, this is a brand new subject, even if Hongyi has its own player audience, Fang Xi dare not take the risk.

Now Fang Xi understands why there are so many TV series based on IP in the last time and space, because he is still in the groping stage. If it is a new script, it is a bit like stud in gambling. If you lose, you will lose everything. And IP adaptation at least will not have the possibility of sudden death: no matter how bad you change it and explode, there will still be fans of the original book who will take a look curiously: They say it's bad, let me see how bad it is?

Between Guaranteed and Stud, most people of course still choose Guaranteed, and now Fang Xi is no exception, so I am relieved to hear that IP is better here.

"This Zhou Hexuan has passed away?" Fang Xi asked casually.

"Mr. Zhou lived a very long life. He died only ten years ago. He lived to be more than a hundred years old. He has seen all kinds of wind and rain in his life, and he has achieved quite a lot in various cultural fields. He has a successful career and a harmonious family. He is the envy of others."

Liu Hai also said it in an envious tone, and Fang Xi also remembered that when he was in middle school, many classmates seemed to envy Mr. Zhou. It is said that he was mainly born a hundred years ago. At that time, Mr. Zhou had several A confidante is the envy of everyone.

How many confidante friends are here?
