The Rebirth of the Male God Starts From Playing Games

  Chapter 411 408. It must be that your failure halo is too heavy

  In May, "Minecraft" set a historical record for Bomi’s game sales. It is expected that it will be difficult for any game to surpass it in the future.

  And in June, "Journey to the West" was launched, and it also achieved good results.

  Journey to the West is a project under the former Westward Journey studio group of Bomi, now renamed to the Dream Studio Group. It is a horizontal action game based on the theme of Westward Journey and the Buddhist culture.

In this game, players can choose different martial arts such as Dragon Palace, Putuo, Datang, Jifu, etc. This set is basically in the same line as "Fantasy Westward Journey". The only difference is that this is a horizontal combat. The Fantasy Westward Journey is a turn-based combat game.

  Because Fantasy Westward Journey itself has a lot of player base, and DNF has opened up a new horizontal version of the fighting game market, so after the launch of "Western Journey", it still achieved quite good results.

It itself is differentiated from DNF. The core players are composed of two groups of people. One is the players of "Fantasy Westward Journey". They have a relatively high acceptance of this theme. At the same time, they feel that the horizontal fighting style is relatively new, and the other part is like it. Players of horizontal fighting games are not particularly interested in DNF's story and world background.

The Journey to the West is equivalent to snare the crowd not covered by DNF. The number of players in this part is quite large. Therefore, in less than a month, the average number of online players in Journey to the West exceeded 50,000. .

  Among Bomi’s online game revenue, it ranks No. 5. At the same time, it has become Bomi’s fourth profitable game because of its high profit margin DNF.

  ……

  On July 1, Bomi Films’ "Wandering Earth 2" was demonstrated internally in the Bomi Hall of the Imperial Capital.

   Still the same, Ai Xiaomi, as the producer of "Wandering Earth 2", is also the main presenter today.

Below sits Cao Yang, the chairman of Bomi Group, the CTO of Bomi, Liu Guangran, the head of Bomi Technology Research Center, Yang Junrong, the CEO of Bomi Music, Dou Haining, the head of the 3D rendering engine, and Deng Zhixin, the director of film art. There are Zou Jielun and PO Chaoting’s chairman Xie Tingfeng.

  Liu Guangran shouldn’t have been sitting here. When "Wandering Earth" was auditioned inside the company for the first time, he was purely curious about 3D movies to join in the fun.

  This time it was forcibly dragged by Cao Yang.

  Because according to Cao Yang, there must be a [layman] here, who can provide some more realistic viewing experience.

  And Liu Guangran is the layman.

   Liu Guangran curled his lips, why did it sound so awkward?

  But there are movies to watch, and they are still 3D movies made by their own company. Of course, it’s better to see them soon, so Liu Guangran rushed over.

Deng Peiqiang is no longer in charge of the rendering engine of Bomi Film and Television, but is completely handed over to Dou Haining. Dou Haining is also an old employee of Bomi. He has spent many years in the engine group. The last time he wandered the earth's engine research and development. Dou Haining took on the main work. Since the technology here is relatively mature, and Dou Haining has been able to get started, Deng Peiqiang does not need to spend his time and energy here. The company now has more important things and so on. Let him solve it.

  For example, the production problem of the underground palace in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", the 3D architectural mosaic required to build the Forbidden City in "Minecraft"...

  Those problems are much more difficult than 3D rendering. Deng Peiqiang is simply lacking in skills. He can only lament that Boss Cao will really find things for the engine team.

Now Bomi’s engine is really equivalent to the engine in a car. It is a very important component. Once this is done, it will be beneficial to the entire company. So Boss Cao invested in it at all costs, Deng Although Pei Qiang does not have a CTO position, as the boss of the engine department, he is considered to be a high position.

This time, in the production of "Wandering Earth 2," Cao Yang did not have much time to intervene in the art, so the art design inside was thrown to the film art director Deng Zhixin. This young man is also a rising star of the company. During the production of Wandering Earth 1. He is also the main art director, but because Cao Yang hung the title of creative director, he is not good at becoming an art director. However, when the Wandering Earth 1 was made, Cao Yang only provided basic creative drafts, and everything was done. , And the supplementary details above are all done by Deng Zhixin's team.

  This time to Wandering Earth 2, Cao Yang is more at ease.

  ……

  Yang Junrong, head of Bomi Music, part of the soundtrack of Wandering Earth 2 was completed by Yang Junrong's studio, and the other part is still handed over to the American soundtrack master Hans Zimmer.

  This can be regarded as a beginning and an end. The success of Wandering Earth (although it lost tens of millions, but it can be regarded as the history of creating a 3D science fiction movie), a large part of it is the credit of the soundtrack.

  Hans Zimmer’s musical talent is recognized in the entire circle. Since Wandering Earth 1 is made by him, if Wandering Earth 2 is replaced by another person, it will not be that taste.

  However, there will be some changes in the theme of the movie, which is also a more difficult part. Cao Yang is not sure if there will be any problems with the soundtrack this time.

  PO Chao Ting is still the main special effects production company of "Wandering Earth 2." The last time it worked well, this time it can be said to be a familiar road.

Because of the production experience of "Wandering Earth 1", PO Chaoting has also laid a solid foundation for 3D special effects production, and his own technical level has improved to a great level. As a skilled worker, it is the second time to cooperate. Naturally, the price is suppressed. Down.

The total production cost of   Wandering Earth 2 is much less than that of Wandering Earth. It costs 460 million before and after, and the cost of special effects is only 300 million. Xie Tingfeng’s team received 150 million.

   Even so, PO Chao Ting still has a profit.

This is also the inevitability of technological development. As long as technology advances, costs will naturally be compressed. In 2008, computers have improved a lot compared with 2007, and the software has also been updated iteratively. The company's engine has become more usable and the rendering speed has increased. Faster, more work can be processed, this is in line with Moore's Law, and naturally the price will be further compressed.

  Zou Jielun was because "The Secret That Cannot Be Said" was released before, and the box office was not ideal. I wanted to learn from it and see if I could make some science fiction movies in the future.

  In addition to having a lot of ideas in music creation, he also has a lot of ideas in film and television, so Cao Yang thinks that Zou Jielun can come and have a look, at least he can't be a good actor, maybe he can become a good director in the future.

  Don't take the path of "Panda Man".

  ……

  "Wandering Earth 2" was completed at the beginning of this year, but it took a lot of time to go through the trial. After getting the dragon chapter, it will be scheduled to July 2008.

  The so-called “one-time birth and two-time ripening”, Bomi is also regarded as the pioneer of 3D science fiction movies in China. It has driven many related industry chains and made considerable contributions to the film market, so this review is considered relatively smooth.

  The main reason for the long review time is ——

  Liu’s book involves a lot of human confrontation, and there are some elements that may reflect the authorities, so the above review is more careful.

  Fortunately, it can pass at the end, which is pretty good.

When    was released in July, it was already a hot schedule. It was scheduled for the Spring Festival that year. It was mainly because Bomi was new to the film and television industry and was unfamiliar with the film and television industry, and there was no big boss as a recommendation, so it was naturally crowded out.

  Who would have thought that "Wandering Earth" directly brought the Spring Festival file to fire, making the Spring Festival file a very important movie schedule.

There are several reasons why the July file is relatively hot:

First, July is the domestic film protection month, which is to distribute the benefits to the big brothers. During the domestic film protection month, foreign films will not be imported, so domestic films have a strong advantage, plus Wandering Earth 2. The quality is hard enough, it is very likely that unilateral slaughter dominates the list.

  Secondly, the students are on vacation. Most of the students in the summer school have nothing to do and just have time to watch a movie.

  It is precisely because of these reasons that the July file is very popular.

  The only thing that makes Cao Yang feel a little lies in--

  "Wandering Earth 2" will be released at the end of July. There will be an Olympic Games interspersed in the middle. Maybe it will be impacted by the Olympic Games and the box office may not be satisfactory.

  In other words, it is an inevitable thing to be impacted. I don’t know if you will go to the cinema during your free time watching the Olympics.

  ……

  Before the movie was shown, several people sat together talking and laughing.

  This year, Teacher Chen broke out a big melon. Xie Tingfeng was greatly affected. Boss Cao did not dare to expose his scars.

  So the discussion is still related to "World of Warcraft".

  Except for Cao Yang, several other people are very curious when the next major version of World of Warcraft will be released.

A sly smile appeared on Cao Yang's face, "It should be not too long. Now that the players in World of Warcraft have graduated, and many people have practiced their trumpets, they will definitely have a new version if they consume it at this rate. "

   "Huh?! Really?" Xie Tingfeng's eyes lit up, "When will a new version come out? Our Star Yuan Guild will organize again, and open up wasteland with a first kill or something."

   "It's coming soon." Cao Yang said with a smile, "I don't know the exact time. This thing has to be asked about the operation of our company, and it is up to them to decide."

   "Cut~"

  Xie Tingfeng and Zou Jielun did not believe Cao Yang's words at all.

  As the boss of the company, you want to know the news. Can others hide it from you?

  What's more, things like the release of a new major version of World of Warcraft must be emailed to the boss for reporting.

   Boss Cao is really stingy.

  ……

  Although everyone here, except Liu Guangran and Zou Jielun, others have more or less participated in the production of the film, but this is the first time to see the effect of the film.

  Everyone can only understand the content of the opponent, but there is no bottom line about what the whole film looks like and how effective the integration is.

  However, in view of the success of "Wandering Earth", everyone is still full of confidence in "Wandering Earth 2".

  Of course, Ai Xiaomi must have seen it countless times as a director.

  But when she was screening, she was still a little excited and her fingers trembling.

  About 5 minutes later, the movie screening begins.

  The first thing that appeared on the big screen was the dragon chapter that everyone was very familiar with.

   is the public screening license.

  Because of the image of a Chinese dragon, people also affectionately call the supply license a dragon badge.

  【Dragon Chapter

  Public Screening License

  Electricity Examination [2008] No. 001

  National Film Bureau

  CHINAFILMADMINISTRATICON】

  Behind the Dragon Chapter, the logo of Bomi Pictures appeared

   Then Xie Tingfeng’s PO Chaoting.

  Producer: Ai Xiaomi

  Director System/Chief Director: Ai Xiaomi

  Leading starring roles: Wu Jing, Hirosue Ryoko...

  ……

  In the vast universe, there appeared a blue planet with a thin atmospheric tail.

  The narrator said: "The sun is rapidly aging and continues to expand. One hundred years later, the sun will expand to engulf the entire earth. Three hundred years later, the solar system will cease to exist."

   "In the face of this catastrophe, mankind has shown unprecedented unity."

   "In order to allow more people to survive, the coalition government decided to push the entire planet out of the solar system and fly to a new home 4.2 light-years away. It will take 1,500 years before and after."

  "This magnificent and long human migration plan...is named the'Wandering Earth' plan."

   "And now, the earth has been wandering on the road for 28 years."

  ……

  Although Liu Guangran had already watched "The Wandering Earth" during the Spring Festival last year, he still felt moved when he saw the lonely earth wandering in the silent deep space in "Wandering Earth 2".

  This lens is really classic and shocking enough.

  Da Liu's imagination is really strong, and the Chinese's dependence on home and land is silently conveyed just by using such a lens, which makes people sigh.

  ……

  As the camera turned, a row of subtitles appeared in the screen:

  The Wandering Earth Project: Escape Age.

  A little boy in the picture unknowingly walked to the central square of the city, standing by a circular pool with a fountain in the middle of the square.

  He sometimes looked down at the Lan Yingying pool water, and sometimes looked up at the fantastic light ripples on the circular dome of the square, which were reflected by the pool water.

  At this time, a little girl appeared in front of the little boy. She was holding a small bottle and a small tube and blowing soap bubbles. Every time she blew a string, she stared blankly at the bubbles floating in the air, watching them disappear one by one, and then blew out a string...

   "Is this fun when I'm so old?" The boy walked over and asked her.

  The girl was overjoyed after seeing him: "Let's go on a trip!"

   "Travel? Where to go?"

   "Of course it is the ground!"

  ……

  The total length of the movie is 2 hours and 10 minutes.

  Wandering Earth 2 is also about the Wandering Earth, but the focus of the story has changed a lot.

  If the wandering earth 1 talks about the feelings of homeland, man will conquer the sky.

  Then Wandering Earth 2 is a story of human victory over self and self-salvation. It shows the greatness of human nature and further lays the foundation for human emotions towards home.

  The film is still the subject of catastrophe, but this time the catastrophe was caused by human beings.

  After reading it, everyone’s eyes were full of tears, and their hearts could not be calm for a long time.

  Ai Xiaomi secretly wiped her tears next to him, Cao Yang couldn't help but shook his head.

  This guy did the same when he took pictures of Wandering Earth 1, and Wandering Earth 2 was still like this, so I couldn’t move myself first.

  However, overall, it is also due to the good filming of the film and the good writing of Liu.

  In this movie, the spirit of people who go to death generously and sacrifice for the truth is vividly shown, which is really touching.

  Cao Yang stood up, looked around, and found that everyone bowed their heads and said nothing.

  His gaze fell on Liu Guangran, and he asked, “How about Guangran, let’s express my opinion.”

  The reason why I asked Liu Guangran is because he is a very typical audience representative. Others will have some occupational diseases more or less, which is different from the viewing angle of ordinary audiences.

   "Awesome." Liu Guangran said in a choked voice, "But...I feel so uncomfortable in my heart after seeing it. Some disasters shouldn't happen."

   "That's why it looks great and real." Cao Yang explained, "It also shows that Liu's book is very powerful."

"really……"

   Several other people nodded in agreement.

   "What do you think of Jielun?" Cao Yang called another.

  Zou Jielun is the only other person besides Liu Guangran who did not participate in the production of this film.

  In the process of watching the movie just now, he got a lot of inspiration.

  Now after reading it, I feel that the five internal organs and six lungs are all lit up.

   "Hmm...not bad." Zou Jielun said thoughtfully, "The movie special effects are great, and the music is even better."

  Hans Zimmer’s dubbing, Bomi Music’s collaboration... Of course, the music of Wandering Earth 2 shows a very high standard.

  As a musician, Jielun Zou can feel this, indicating that the soundtrack of "Wandering Earth 2" is successful.

  After a round of discussion, everyone gave Ai Xiaomi a thumbs up.

very good.

  Cao Yang smiled comfortedly and applauded Ai Xiaomi.

  Others also responded to Boss Cao’s call and extended warm applause to Ai Xiaomi.

"It's great, really." Cao Yang said emotionally, "Whether it is in production or script design, we have already reached a very high level. Compared with Wandering Earth 1, we have improved too much. NS."

  Now Bomi is really becoming more and more mature in 3D film production. It can be said to be the world's first echelon in terms of scripts and special effects.

   "By the way, Mr. Cao," Xie Tingfeng remembered one thing and asked, "How about the box office of "Wandering Earth" 2 this time?"

   "Does this need to be said?" Cao Yang said confidently, "It will definitely sell out."

  I have already stepped on a big pit last time. This time the production level of "Wandering Earth 2" is higher than before, and there is no reason to fail.

  What's more, in order to enter the Omi market, Bomi took the film for review early, and the rating has now been completed.

  And in order to sell an ideal global box office results, the film also found English dubbing and Japanese dubbing.

  At the same time, "Wandering Earth 2" has been promoted early in the U.S. area, and it has become quite popular now.

  The cost of special effects is compressed, and the funds for publicity are more abundant.

  It can be said that this time is foolproof.

  What's more, Bomi’s production cost has been compressed to 360 million, which is lower than before, and there is no reason for failure.

   "If you lose money again this time," Cao Yang raised his head and looked at Ai Xiaomi, "It must be that your aura of failure is too heavy."

  Ai Xiaomi was taken aback for a moment, her mouth squashed, almost crying, "Boss~"

   "Hahaha, I was kidding."

  Everyone also laughed.

  ……
