Chapter 137: Want to watch CG without buying the game?
Honghuang Studio, in the reception room.
While the outside world was discussing the "Resident Evil" movie in full swing, Chen Lin and Lao Song were accepting a door-to-door interview from Game Times, one of the major mainstream game review websites.
"Mr. Chen, regarding the rumors outside, saying that Honghuang makes games with his feet and CG with his heart, what do you think?"
Opposite Chen Lin, a reporter in a professional skirt held the microphone and asked professionally but politely.
"This is a complete rumor. We just focus on quality control and make the game promotion CG as good as possible. Our main business is still games." Chen Lin answered without thinking.
As soon as he finished speaking, Lao Song next to him said, "I must add that our game production has also been checked layer by layer, and the quality is definitely much better than those produced by foot."
"Haha, Director Song is really good at joking. I think the employees in your studio will think you are an approachable boss."
The reporter covered his mouth and chuckled, knowing that he was joking.
Then, another male reporter wearing glasses spoke up:
"Can I ask about the game CG that your studio recently released? What was the concept behind the filming of Resident Evil?"
"Resident Evil" is the main topic of their interview this time.
The appearance of this movie has triggered widespread discussion about the end of the world among many netizens, and the discussion is getting more and more intense.
You can say that.
It was Honghuang who started this.
Naturally, it attracted widespread attention in the industry.
"In fact, we just want to show you another possibility of the end of the world from a different perspective."
"For example, this biochemical crisis starts with genetics, adds some science fiction elements, and ends with a blank space to give people more room for imagination."
"Of course, this is just a fictional story, don't take it seriously."
Chen Lin has been in this business for quite some time, and his words are very accurate. He will not answer questions about overly sensitive topics.
The two reporters took notes quickly in their notebooks.
Then the female reporter looked up and said, "Speaking of plot blanks, the most discussed topic on the Internet recently is the subsequent development of the movie. Has your studio ever extended this aspect?"
"have!"
Chen Lin smiled slightly: "I can answer this question with certainty. In our original plan, Resident Evil does have a follow-up plot, but our focus is still on the game, so we can't spare any extra manpower to do it for the time being."
ah?
Original plan?
Do we have this thing?
Old Song on the side was stunned and turned his head to look over.
If he remembered correctly, the content of the script that Chen Lin had sent him before had almost been filmed, with not much left.
Where's the subsequent plot?
However, compared to his confusion, a gleam of brilliance suddenly flashed in the eyes of the two reporters.
news!
Big news!
There is actually a sequel to Resident Evil, and it was even acknowledged by the boss of Honghuang himself!
They had never expected that just asking casually would lead to such bombshell news.
He immediately suppressed his excitement and asked, "Can you please tell me the general direction of the subsequent plot?"
"As for the direction... it will probably start from the perspective of the T virus outbreak and urban unrest, continuing the plot of the first part."
"As for the rest, it is not convenient to disclose it for the time being. We have to wait until the new game is released and see how fast the funds are recovered before making a decision. After all, as you all know, making CG is very expensive."
A sentence.
Give money!
Want to read the follow-up story without buying the game?
You’re dreaming.
certainly.
The two reporters had no idea what was in his mind.
As soon as he heard the follow-up content of Resident Evil, he quickly took notes, with excitement shining in his eyes.
Afterwards, he asked some more questions about the new game before he stood up to say goodbye, went downstairs and took the car to leave.
Wait until they are sent away.
Old Song finally couldn't help but ask, "Chen Lin, are you really planning to make a second Resident Evil movie?"
"No, didn't I tell you to wait and see how quickly the money is recovered before making a decision? If the game doesn't make money, why bother shooting CG?"
Chen Lin spread his hands.
"Well... that's true."
Old Song smacked his lips, not knowing what to say for a moment.
He thought that Chen Lin dared to answer like that because he already had a specific plan in mind, but it turned out that he was just empty talk.
Without saying anything more, he went back to the team to continue supervising the work.
…
However.
What he didn't know was.
Shortly after the two reporters left.
A post titled #Honghuang boss personally answered that "Resident Evil" may shoot a second part# suddenly appeared under the official account of Game Times.
As one of the largest game review platforms in China.
Gaming Times has always been a benchmark in the industry and has attracted the attention of countless players.
As soon as the news was released, it immediately attracted a large number of players to watch.
"Holy crap! The second Resident Evil? Is this true?"
"Honghuang's boss answered in person. Did the Game Times go to interview Honghuang's headquarters?"
"It actually starts from the perspective of the outbreak of the T virus and urban unrest, continuing the plot of the first part!"
"This topic has been hotly debated online recently, and I didn't expect there would be official news so soon."
"Ahhh! I really want to know what happens next!"
"Me too, I've watched it at least five times in the past few days, please release the second part as soon as possible!"
At this moment, all the players were excited. Even netizens who didn't play games but had watched "Resident Evil" came and joined the discussion.
But the original words marked below made them feel itchy and uncomfortable.
That is what Chen Lin said, that he would wait and see how the game sells before considering filming the second part.
"Damn it! Why don't you wait until the game sales come out before you release the game!"
"Buy it! Can't I buy it? Just treat it as a movie ticket!"
"If you have the guts, come out now. I'll buy any game no matter how many replies you have!"
"Brothers, go for it. When the game sales are high and Hong Huang doesn't release a second part, we will rush to their lair together!"
"Screenshot taken, Honghuang, you'd better keep your word."
After watching "Resident Evil", netizens really want to see the follow-up plot of the virus spread.
Although the Internet has deduced several most likely plots based on the details of the plot, they are not official and not convincing enough.
Now I see the second part which has been officially promised.
How could they sit still? They all came over to check in and leave messages, ready to give Honghuang a little shock to the drama fans.
The enthusiastic urging for more updates stunned other film and television companies.
no.
You are a game studio, but your game CG is even better than our professional movie making. Isn’t that a bit too outrageous?
Don’t we have any face to save?
As if in response to their questions.
Just at this moment.
An announcement was suddenly updated under Honghuang’s official account.
[Official notice: The new doomsday-themed FPS game, "Resident Evil: Village", will be officially released at 12 noon this Saturday. It will be available on all platforms including PC, consoles, and VR. Stay tuned! ]
