Chapter 125: Dream Linkage! An Invitation from Legendary Pictures!
Since yesterday!
After the first half of Titanfall was released, its popularity in the gaming community has dominated the market with a terrifying attitude!
As for the players, they have given the most satisfactory evaluation to Yiyoux2, with rave reviews!
As for the media, a number of media outlets, led by Tiantianyou Daily, gave unprecedented full marks!
Daily Travel News (10/10):
In just three hours, Titanfall, with its unparalleled game quality, taught me that rules can be broken, and the situation where mecha games have no survival soil can be reversed. The way is to reclaim the wasteland by oneself. The first pioneer to wield this hoe was Gu Sheng, the chief game director of Golden Wind.
SNG Review (10/10):
Shocking graphics, solid script, jaw-dropping gameplay and level design, and a punch that breaks through the ceiling that makes people's scalp tingle. Obviously, 10 points is only the limit of our scoring system, not the limit of Titanfall.
Player Campfire (10/10):
Interactive movie game! Following "Psychological Horror" and "Second Generation FPS", Golden Wind has another innovative game format! If there are scientists in the gaming industry, Gu Sheng must be the best one!
Huaxia Game Forum (5/5):
They actually inserted a movie trailer into the game! Without a doubt, this is another bold attempt by Golden Wind! Faced with the situation of three heroes fighting Lu Bu, they wisely chose to use all their strength to break the formation! It's like the burst core is fully activated!
Black Box Forum, Standalone World, Somatosensory Base...
Media forums large and small have praised TTF!
Even Huayu Electronics personally wrote a special review of the game:
"Break the shackles and practice the golden spirit, and be fearless of the shackles to show your talent and wisdom - industry thinking triggered by the popularity of "Titanfall""
What kind of organization is Huayudian?
The big brother of China's gaming circle and the industry leader!
Although this special review article was not the front-page headline to avoid suspicion, its weight is already considered to be the most important among the heavyweights!
Players are celebrating, media are praising, and officials are on the stand!
In today's era of global Internet information exchange, China is the most fertile land in the global game market. Naturally, any explosive news in this land will be updated to the world channel at the fastest speed!
…
"...and Thomas Tull, the CEO of Legendary Pictures and one of the founders of Legendary Pictures, happens to be an avid gamer,"
On the phone, Yan Sheng said:
"What's more, the movie they produced this time is also a mecha movie."
“Pacific Rim,”
"It is said that this is a movie adapted from a comic book, with a total investment of $170 million,"
"No more, no less, it will be seven times better than you, haha."
Speaking of this, Yan Sheng also made a joke.
but!
Gu Sheng on the other end of the phone did not feel so relaxed at the moment!
now!
Surprise and excitement filled his heart!
You know! He just saw the news last week that this classic mecha movie that had caused a sensation in his previous life would be released simultaneously around the world in the somatosensory cabin!
But unexpectedly, just one week later, I received an invitation for cooperation from the producer!
good!
Just a few months ago, Legendary Pictures of the United States joined forces with Warner Bros. Pictures and director Guillermo Toro.
Based on the American comic "Pacific Rim", this sci-fi blockbuster with the same name was launched with an investment of nearly 200 million US dollars!
Now, the production of this film has been completed and has obtained permission for domestic release.
Therefore, Legendary Pictures and Warner began to prepare for the film promotion.
Since the film will be released in a domestic motion sensing cabin, there is no doubt that Legendary Pictures’ first stop will be Xun Teng and Yiyou.
These two are now the two leading motion sensing cabin manufacturers in China, and they also have extremely mature streaming media business platforms.
Coincidentally, these two manufacturers have recently launched a new generation of somatosensory cabins.
Therefore, Legendary Pictures approached both companies separately, hoping to land on their streaming platforms and start cooperation.
This is very common in today's motion sensing cabin film and television industry.
With almost no effort, Yiyou reached a platform cooperation with Legendary Pictures.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is!
After reaching a cooperation with Yiyou, Legendary Pictures proposed whether it could carry out a joint promotion with Yiyou's flagship masterpiece to expand the scale of the film's promotion?
Joint promotion cooperation!
The collaboration between movies and games is not uncommon.
Pacific Rim is now hitting the domestic market, and the producers certainly hope that the movie will be as popular as possible.
"So, Mr. Yan recommended me?"
Gu Sheng asked.
"Not a recommendation,"
Yan Sheng shook his head:
"It was Legendary Pictures. No, to be more precise, it was Thomas Tull, the CEO and main producer of Legendary Pictures, who specifically asked for a promotional tie-up with Titanfall,"
"After all, both of you are into mecha themes, and the concept of the interactive movie-style game you proposed also interests him very much,"
"Plus, Titanfall is so popular in the domestic gaming community now,"
"Since they want to find a game to collaborate with, then the best choice is naturally Titanfall, no other choice."
hiss--!!!
Gu Sheng took a breath.
He is well aware of the importance of Legendary Pictures.
This is a world-class film production company and also one of the important partners of Warner Bros.
It is extremely heavy and has great energy.
No matter from which angle I consider it, there is no reason for me to refuse.
"So what are the conditions for the collaboration with Legendary Pictures...?" Gu Sheng asked.
although!
In terms of size and global influence, Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures are not on the same level at all.
Theoretically, if other game companies of the same level came to us on their own initiative, they would have been overjoyed and grateful.
But unfortunately, Gu Sheng is not a man who only admires the strong and loves to please.
If you want to cooperate with me, you have to pay.
Because this is China, the gaming world is my home turf, and what a coincidence, right now in my home turf, I am the most eye-catching guy on the field.
You are here to take advantage of my popularity, I don’t care whether you are legendary or not.
Even if the king of heaven came today, he would still say these two words——
Pay up!
Obviously, Yan Sheng was very impressed by Gu Sheng's attitude!
Neither humble nor arrogant, reasonable and impartial, under the leadership of Gu Sheng, the soul figure, Golden Wind always seems to be so calm and unhurried, and can still maintain its dignity even when facing a strong opponent when it is weak.
It's like this when facing Xingmang, it's like this when facing Guangyao, and even when facing Xun Teng.
Today, it is still the same when facing world-class film production companies!
"Director Gu, don't worry about this,"
As if he had known that Gu Sheng would ask this question, Yan Sheng said:
"This collaboration with Legendary Pictures invites you to serve as the special art consultant for Pacific Rim,"
"And they will also pay Golden ."
Hmm——
not bad.
Gu Sheng nodded in his heart.
He is a special art consultant. He is called a consultant, but the film has already been produced and they have even obtained the supply license for the Chinese dragon. What's the point of him being a consultant?
Without doing any work, just putting your name on the list, you will receive 3.5 million.
Legendary Pictures only seeks fame and influence for itself.
This deal is definitely not a loss.
Because he is very clear about the quality of the movie "Pacific Rim".
Nod:
"So what are Legendary Pictures' expectations for our collaboration? In what form?"
"Well,"
Hearing this, Yan Sheng said:
"The other party's request is also very simple. All they need to do is give them a place in the final production list of the second half of Titanfall."
Obviously, Pacific Rim's appeal is simple - they just want to take advantage of the popularity of SamGu's name and Titanfall.
But Gu Sheng felt that this was just the way it was, and it didn't seem to be as cheap as Pacific Rim.
Um……
After a moment's thought.
Suddenly, Gu Sheng remembered the promotional video for "Pacific Rim" that he had watched before, and an idea suddenly flashed in his mind!
"Mr. Yan, please arrange a phone call between me and Legendary Pictures. I want to discuss further cooperation plans with them."
"for example--"
"In terms of music, etc., to make the connection stronger..."
…
No……
No……
Still no…
Shen Miaomiao spent the entire day browsing news in the company.
From the gaming circle to the film and television circle, and then from domestic to foreign countries.
From Nantianmen all the way to Penglai East Road.
There was no big name in the film and television industry who was willing to stand up and question Gu Sheng's idea of an "interactive movie game."
The only person who spoke out was a relatively unknown new director named Guo Fan.
[Frant Gwo: Interactive movie games are a surprising idea that may have an impact on the science fiction film industry in the future...]
That's right.
This was the only voice he spoke, and it was directed at Gu Sheng.
It's very frustrating.
well……
With a sigh, she saw that it was getting dark outside and all the company employees had left. Shen Miaomiao, who still had nothing to show for it, wanted to get up and leave.
Before leaving my seat, I casually checked Weibo one last time, thinking that no miracle would happen.
Click.
When the webpage is refreshed, the hot searches are also updated synchronously.
Shen Miaomiao glanced at him without any hope, then took her bag and left.
But the next second!
She took a step forward, then took it back!
Wait a moment?
What trending search did I just see?
It seems to be some kind of mecha...a dream linkage...?
Shen Miaomiao's heart trembled, and she sat back in the boss chair.
Take a closer look——

Click to enter!
The pinned Weibo post was a post from "Pacific Rim V" -
[Pacific Rim V: A real man's dream collaboration is here! Just now, Pacific Rim and Titanfall have reached a collaboration! We have specially invited @顾盛Sam to be the honorary art consultant! This is a recognition ! June 10! See you in the somatosensory cinema! ]
Open the comments section!
Gu Sheng's message was at the top of the list:
Sam Gu: I am very honored to be the honorary art consultant of @Pacific Rim V. In the second part of Titanfall, all dear players will also feel the shocking wind blowing from the other side of the Pacific Ocean!
Next came the official blogs of the Art and Games Department:
Art Tour X2: Spread flowers!
Yiyou Film and Television: (Blow the horn) (Blow the horn) (Blow the horn)
Yiyou Game Platform: Dream Linkage! (Expecting) (Expecting) (Expecting)
Yiyou Yansheng v: I will take a chance...
In the office!
Shen Miaomiao was like a sculpture, frozen for a full half minute!
Following right on!
A trembling "Ah?" sounded in the office!
What the fuck is this?!
What did I get?!
Titanfall... and... a sci-fi movie?
And it even made it into the top ten trending searches? !
In doubt, Shen Miaomiao searched for detailed information about the movie "Pacific Rim".
It would have been fine if she hadn't searched, but when she did, Shen Miaomiao almost passed out.
[Production company: Legendary Pictures, Warner Bros. Entertainment]
send.
Shen Miaomiao simply raised her hand to flip the keyboard away, then adjusted the backrest of the boss chair and lay down along the reclined chair.
Life is so boring.
After a long silence, Shen Miaomiao became angrier and angrier. She slammed the boss chair and sat up in shock despite her dying illness!
"This is my company's game, right? I don't know if my company's game is linked to anyone else's... Oh, I don't know."
Halfway through her anger, Shen Miaomiao lay down again.
According to the company regulations she set herself, all game projects of Golden Wind must be approved by herself.
As the project director, Gu Sheng has the highest decision-making power over the project.
Apart from continuing to increase investment or cut budget, which requires her knowledge, all other matters, big or small, are decided by Gu Sheng himself.
original!
This regulation is designed to allow oneself to be a hands-off boss more reasonably and enjoy the freedom to slack off in the company!
But I didn't expect it.
The stone you lift will eventually hit your own foot.
Shen Miaomiao struggled to look at the linked Weibo post, which had already received thousands of comments in just five minutes, and she felt like crying but had no tears.
She was not worried about how much profit Legendary Pictures would bring to Golden Wind through this wave of collaboration.
Because according to system regulations, after the countdown to settlement of the document begins, the additional revenue generated by the project will not be counted as project profit.
She mainly couldn't accept the popularity that this wave of linkage brought to Titanfall!
Before one wave of troubles is over, another wave of troubles comes!
The first wave of popularity of the game, which made countless players willing to engage in self-PUA and earned full marks from countless gaming media, has not yet passed!
Oh no!
It’s just the beginning!
The old thief Gu Sheng was quick-witted and quick-handed. He struck while the iron was hot and got involved with... Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.!
Add fuel to the fire!
Add more fuel to the popularity of the already popular game!
When Shen Miaomiao thought about the scene where she was grinning happily like a big fool last night, waiting for the reputation of Titanfall to be shattered, she couldn't help but feel despair!
It hurts. It hurts so much.
What the hell did I hire into the company to be my system binding manager?
It turns out this guy is only good at making games, right?
how……
How come it has evolved so much?!
How on earth did he get involved with companies like Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros.?!
Think of this!
Shen Miaomiao felt suffocated!
What a sin!
My game director is actually a socialite in the gaming world...
