"Everyone stand up!!"
'It's numb! Man! I'm fucking numb!'
"Come to Xun Teng, let me translate what the Ninth Art is!"
'What! Fucking! Yell! Fucking! The Ninth Art!'
"This isn't even a game... This is just a long movie!!!"
'I declare! The old thief has fallen from grace!'
'God has fallen from the altar hahahahahahaha'
"I got up suddenly and saw Odin riding on an eight-legged divine horse."
'Hahahahahahahaha I burst out laughing'
'These two levels are awesome! They are the ultimate understanding of gaming art!'
"Oh my god, all the hair on my body is standing up now."
'The frozen scene just now can be captured as the background of the somatosensory cabin theme interface'
'Warm reminder - Yiyou x2 supports seven days of no-questions-asked refunds. You can buy it and then get a refund after completing the TTF. Although the postage is at your own expense, the game is 198 + postage 100, which is the price of "Special Operations". You won't lose money or be cheated.'

"It's a bug, right?"
"Is this something a human could come up with? (Smells good)"
"……"
All the players in the live broadcast room were shocked!
The top-notch level design and gameplay concepts for two consecutive levels have completely refreshed the players’ and even the entire gaming community’s understanding of level design!
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a blow that shattered the ceiling of game design!
The sensation spread like wildfire!
And at the same time!
Boom——!!!
With a deafening roar in the game!
The time of the explosion of the Holy Ark began to flow again, and A Yin flew out directly!
After a while of gurgling, BT returned to normal:
[Very good, Pilot. Scan completed. Just as Anderson discovered, the IMC has seized the Ark and intends to destroy Harmony.]
Our journey is not over yet.
[This data must be sent back to the fleet...]
That’s it!
The screen gradually went dark, and the level that made the entire gaming community stand up came to an end.
Afterwards, on the dark screen, the LOGO of Golden Wind x Yiyou slowly emerged!
Following right on!
BT's voice sounded in the darkness:
[BT: Pilot Cooper, Anderson is dead, but as long as we can reconnect with the fleet, we can continue to complete the mission...]
A distant background symphony slowly plays.
The morning sun is like a sword, and the distant mountains are like rainbows...
Among the towering rugged mountains, a huge signal tower reaches the sky!
However!
Just when a group of players were excited to embark on a new journey, they found that they did not have an online gaming operating system.
Yes, this turned out to be a trailer!
It's just like a movie!
Boom boom!
As the drums beat!
A series of pictures flashed by——
Between the steel frames of the signal tower, Kubo is flying above the clouds!
[…Northeast, 428 meters…Throwing is the only way…]
On the vast and endless plain, artillery fire was everywhere and the chaotic battle between nearly a hundred Titans made the flames of war cover the sky and the sun!
[Breakthrough! Breakthrough! The Jack Cooper Ark will be transported away soon! You need to be quick!!!]
Between the rugged valleys, the huge fleet flew rapidly, and energy bombardments streaked through the sky like meteors!
[The Ark is on the Draco! Now! Boarding attack! Boarding attack!]
Magnificent scenery, blood-pumping battles, and exciting aerial assaults!
A series of pictures flashed by, like a raging fire into dry wood, igniting the hearts of all the players!
Following right on!
A moment of silence!
The screen goes dark again!
A familiar and somewhat provocative voice sounded in the darkness:
[Sam: Okay, big hero, that's what a team is, either we win together or we die together, right? ]
Boom boom!
As the words fell, the timpani sounded, and the trailer came to an abrupt end!
Two electronically coded messages appeared on the heads-up displays of all players:
【Titan's Fall (Part 1)】
[Titanfall (Part 2) unlocking time remaining: 6days23h59min59s……]
good!
The insufficient game length of Titanfall 2 has always been a flaw that Gu Sheng cannot get around no matter what!
How to avoid this defect became the issue he focused on most during development!
There will definitely be a subsequent multiplayer extension of the project, and he will personally give the players a little surprise at that time.
But apart from this, he also needs to find another way. Even if he doesn't make the players feel that they are getting great value for money, at least he has to make everyone think that it is worth spending 198 yuan to buy this game!
So!
Gu Sheng decided to take an unconventional approach.
There is no doubt that the plot of Titanfall, especially the second half, is definitely worthy of being adapted into a movie.
In fact, rather than calling it a game, it is more like a science fiction movie that allows the audience to personally participate in it!
So!
It would be better to take a gamble, retreat in order to advance, and truly turn the game into a movie!
Since there is not enough cost and resources to enrich the main content, let's do the opposite and split it into two, so that it can truly match the game and become an interactive movie game!
Perhaps, spending 198 yuan to buy a game that is only six hours long and includes a pie will make people feel unbalanced.
But if you look at it from another perspective, you spend the money for two movie tickets to watch a six-hour long, coherent, exciting, thrilling science fiction movie that you can even participate in and experience in person!
Do you feel better now?
Indeed!
This is unprecedented in the gaming industry, and compared with those escort blockbusters that are slightly more expensive but offer large quantities and full coverage, this approach is undoubtedly a dead end.
But Titanfall is different!
It has industrial technology comparable to the most advanced of this era, camera movement and composition that are at the industry's ceiling level, and it also has gameplay and level creativity that transcends this era.
Such a top combination has never appeared in the gaming circle of this world!
It has no rivals in the gaming world!
Concentrated and refined!
Gu Sheng decided to give it a try.
As soon as this idea was proposed, it immediately attracted the approval of little Nezha!
OK!
He is worthy of being the man I like, the hand-picked Mr. Wolong, the most courageous man in the gaming circle, and the most shameless profiteer among designers who deserves to be hanged under the street lamp!
You really think that your death in this game is not tragic enough!
The original game process is short!
You also cut a knife in the middle to separate the upper and lower parts!
Who will buy your account?
By then, players will complain, which will directly affect the game sales!
The most important thing is!
Releasing the game in two parts will definitely affect the sales of the game to a certain extent!
Even if there really are some brainless fans who are willing to pay money to a profiteer like Lao Gu, they will definitely wait until the second half is out before buying it!
This means that your settlement time is reduced by half!
If I don’t suffer any loss, who will?
If I don’t give rebates, who will?
This was your own suggestion. I didn't do anything to affect the game sales!
Shen Miaomiao immediately waved her hand!
OK!
certainly!
Such a bold move has also caused concern in the art and tourism industry.
Yan Sheng even called them individually, reminding them worriedly that doing so was extremely risky, with a probability of more than 90% that the game's reputation would collapse.
but!
Before Shen Miaomiao could secretly curse Yan Sheng for trying to catch a rat, Lao Gu took the lead in expressing his opinion.
He fully understood and agreed with Yan Sheng's concerns, and said he would not change.
Shen Miaomiao was almost laughing out loud when she heard this!
What is this called?
This is called——
…
"Good words can hardly persuade a ghost who wants to die..."
In the rental house, Shen Miaomiao also saw this promotional video, as well as the unlocking time display in the lower half:
"Hey, Lao Gu, Lao Gu, you are smart all your life but you are foolish for a moment,"
"I guess you couldn't have imagined that although I seemed calm at the time, I was actually very happy."
"This is called responding to ever-changing situations with the same attitude. No matter which direction the wind blows, I will remain unmoved."
“Hehehe!”
Talking!
Shen Miaomiao shook her little feet sticking out of the blanket and gave herself a thumbs up!
"Even if you are as cunning as a ghost, you still have to drink the foot washing water of this president!"
"The show is about to begin—"
Saying that the show was about to begin, Shen Miaomiao rubbed her hands expectantly and turned on the barrage in the live broadcast room.
Then!
Then the barrage of comments suddenly froze!
Then the whole audience was in an uproar!
"Holy crap! They actually made a movie!"
'It's so flavorful!'
"Did I see that correctly? A trailer for the second half?"
"Fuck! It's awesome! I can only say this game is awesome!"
"Is it possible to do this in a game?!"
"Fuck... my scalp is tingling!"
'All I can say is - it's worth it!'
'What a different approach! The concept of this game is simply awesome from the inside out!'
"……"
ah?!
Opening Lightning Strike!
When Shen Miaomiao saw the first wave of comments floating by, the potato chips she had prepared for fun fell from her hands.
No? Wait?
Did you get the wrong script?
Shouldn't your reaction at this time be surprise, confusion, anger and attacking Gu Laozi for being so unscrupulous that not only was the amount small, but it also left people wanting? !
How come it's 'worth it'?!
How come you're taking a different approach?!
Why is your focus so strange?!
That’s not how the script is written!
My heart skipped a beat!
Shen Miaomiao continued to read——
'Indeed, this level of quality has blurred the boundaries between games and movies'
'I would call it the first [interactive movie game] in history!'
"Awesome! Golden Wind is the best at this kind of fancy work."
"Only they dare to do this kind of work. If it's not to pull down the enemy, if it's "Insect Tide 2100" it will probably be criticized to death."
''Not a Trash''
'Actually, if you think about it from another angle, the first half of Titanfall is already three hours long. If it were a movie, I'm afraid the first half alone would be enough to be split into two parts! '
'But Mr. Gu didn't! He found the perfect balance between the plot and the experience! Not only did he not add water, he even tweaked the literary part! '
'Indeed! Every word BT said was just right! There weren't many words at all, but they just doubled people's favorability!'
"Also, the part about Teacher La was absolutely amazing. The moment the grave was covered with stones, I almost wanted to cry."
"This is enough to show how much Mr. Gu and the Golden Wind team have polished the script..."
"The most important thing is that he increased the amount without raising the price! Three hours! If this was a two-part movie, it would have cost at least 150 or 160 yuan!"
"You think there's a second half, and from the trailer, the plot and battles in the second half seem to be more intense and exciting!"
'hiss--'
"I won't say more. I'm just a sports game player. I only bought Kol's Peak Green, but the quality of this game is so great that I can't help but pay for it. Just think of it as spending the money for two movie tickets to watch a big movie."
"I bought one too. The racing effect of the full-sensory enhancement technology is amazing. I think driving a mecha must be even more fun. Let me try one."
"It's only 198 anyway. It's the cheapest escort masterpiece and the top audio-visual feast. If you buy it, you'll make a profit. If you don't buy it, you'll lose a lot."
"If you say so, I will pay it..."
ah??!!
When the second wave of barrage came, Shen Miaomiao's mouth opened in surprise.
broken!
broken!
Players and spectators started to PUA themselves!
Wake up, you guys!
This is a game!
game!
Shen Miaomiao grabbed the laptop screen with both hands, as if she wanted to wake up the players who were praising Gu Sheng's "conscience"!
Stop hypnotizing yourself!
The panicked Shen Miaomiao relied on her status as a senior member to post a striking colorful bullet screen in the bullet screen -
[Although the game is of high quality, it is a game after all. Wouldn't it be less content and more suspenseful if it has two parts? ]
But who would have thought! As soon as these words came out! They immediately attracted a barrage of responses!
'How much more game content do you want with this level of art? It's only 198!'
'Specially clockwork colorful bullet screen to show the bottom line? Is this a normal game? This is a movie-style interactive game! '
"Lack of content? This game has good graphics, good plot, good gameplay, and good artistry. You call this lack of content?"
'There's really no dark side, right?'
'No way, no way, no one would link the length of play time with the game content, right?'
"If you think the game time is not enough, go play Special Operations. It's long, and if you want, you can salute people and hand over boxes every day."
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"You're just trying to disgust me, right? You're comparing that thing to TTF, right?"
'Funny, you can tell at a glance that you don't understand the game, or you are a competitor'
"Please stop being so rude, Xun Teng..."
no?
Looking at the mocking replies in the barrage, Shen Miaomiao's face turned pale, her lips trembled, she pointed at the screen, and then pointed at herself!
Me! Shen Miaomiao! The CEO of Golden Wind!
I'm showing off my bottom line?!
Am I deliberately disgusting?!
I am a friendly business?!
I... I even became a member of Xun Teng?!
Shen Miaomiao just felt her head buzzing.
I wanted to say something but found that in front of the army of mockers, everything I said seemed so pale and powerless.
Shen Miaomiao, who was only 22 and a half years old, felt the power of cyber violence for the first time.
In fact, it was not just that that caused her heart attack—
'The design of the upper and lower parts is really awesome. Officially, please avoid spoilers. I'm f*cking kneeling down and kowtowing!'
'Yes, yes, yes! I haven't got the motion sensing cabin yet, but I can't help watching the live broadcast. Thanks to Lao Zei for saving my gaming experience! '
'He actually thought of this aspect. He is such a warm-hearted designer. He really makes me cry.'
'That's great. The courier here is very slow. It takes five days to receive the goods. I don't have to worry about passive spoilers anymore.'
'Hurry up and buy it during this period! '
"Hahahaha, that's right. Otherwise, when the next part comes out in seven days, I will definitely be backstabbed by the spoilers everywhere."
'No more talking, place your order!'
"……"
That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse.
Shen Miaomiao, the president of Golden Wind, lay on her 1.5-meter single bed, looking at the bright moon outside the window. Her limbs were limp and she felt powerless all over, like a dying fish.
If it weren't for the slight rise and fall of his chest, he would look like a corpse.
There's no hope.
This gaming community is beyond saving.
All the players have been brainwashed by Gu Sheng.
The old thief drove his mobile altar and roamed freely in the gaming circle. Wherever he went, the people would offer him food and drink and shout his name.
Titanfall's reputation in the gaming community has become unstoppable.
Now, Shen Miaomiao only prayed that Gu Sheng's reputation of "Interactive Movie Game" could arouse the disgust of some people in the film industry, preferably some authoritative bigwigs.
As long as there are respected bigwigs in the circle who are willing to stand up and shout, "Titanfall is just a game, don't get involved in the film industry", it will definitely wake up some of the fanatical fans who have been brainwashed by Gu Laozei.
Looking at the moon in the sky, Shen Miaomiao, with tears in her eyes, prayed tremblingly.
Dear gods from all over the world, if you can hear my voice, please let the film industry react...
…
"Hello Mr. Gu Sheng, I am sorry to bother you. I am Hannah Toole, Chief of Business Development of Legendary Pictures."
"We are currently working on a motion picture film project and came across your novel and amazing interactive movie game work."
"I am writing to you in the hope of discussing cooperation with you. I look forward to your reply..."
The next morning!
Gu Sheng had just arrived at the office and had been browsing the news about "Titanfall" for less than half an hour.
A business cooperation email from the other side of the ocean was forwarded to his cooperation email address.
I looked at the person who forwarded it, and it turned out to be Yan Sheng from Yiyou...
