Chapter 190: An innocent girl plays a widow?
Generally speaking, when seeing a big manufacturer issue an announcement, other manufacturers will basically stay away and hold off on issuing any announcements.
Because it is easy to be overshadowed by the popularity of big companies and no one will pay attention to the messages you send.
This Honghuang was so brave that he directly issued an announcement in the face of two major companies, and on the same day. I can only say that he was really brave.
"This game promotion doesn't sound like a game promotion. What's the point of just posting one sentence?"
"It would be great if there really was a world that could satisfy all of our fantasies."
"I want to see what they are up to this time."
Out of curiosity, players clicked on the video below the Honghuang announcement and started playing it.
Next second.
The play box popped up and the screen went dark.
Accompanied by a low piano sound, the picture slowly appeared, showing a white hill with ups and downs.
On the back of the mountain, a sun with a missing corner slowly rose, completely illuminating the hill.
White hills?
A sun with a missing corner?
Everyone was stunned and even more confused, not understanding what Honghuang was trying to express.
But when the sound of violin sounded, their expressions suddenly changed.
"No, this doesn't look like a mountain, nor the sun!"
As the words fell, the camera switched.
Something like a mechanical arm appeared before my eyes, with a white thread pulled by the tip and moving slowly.
It's a bit like a slowed-down 3D printing device, and even the whole picture seems to be slowed down several times.
This makes the players even more confused.
What is this?
Could it be that Honghuang has changed to selling 3D printing equipment?
This doubt continued until several close-up shots were switched and the picture finally came to a halt when it came to a white object that looked like a bone.
"This bone structure... looks like a limb joint."
“Is this printing a biological model?”
Everyone finally realized that what they had just seen was not the hills and the sun, but the lights of the model's surface and the robotic arm!
"This filming technique is really good. It even fooled me."
“I have to say that Honghuang’s photography is still quite something.”
The audience exclaimed in admiration and were gradually attracted by the content of the picture.
Just at this moment, the camera zoomed out.
As they had guessed, what appeared under the robotic arm was actually a pair of horse legs printed from a material such as silicone.
Next is the horse's whole body.
An entire horse was printed by two robotic arms, running slowly on the dim printing table.
This artistic shooting technique, as well as the melodious background piano music, made some photography professionals' eyes light up.
However, the scene that followed was difficult for them to understand.
Because it was a pair of pupils.
Even the pupils are printed by a robotic arm, and they even contract, just like the real ones!
"What do you mean? Isn't this a model?"
"What does this have to do with the new game?"
"Even the pupils can be printed out, I'm afraid he is a bionic man."
“Maybe it’s some newer shooting technique.”
“It looks like the theme song of a movie or TV series.”
As everyone was discussing in confusion, the scene switched, and two models that looked like bionic people were moving one above and one below, doing unspeakable things.
Now they are even more full of questions.
Is this thing playable?
Is this form of artistic expression a little too advanced?
even.
When the camera came to the piano with background music, it was found that the person playing the piano was also a pair of printed white arms.
Coupled with the background that is always in darkness.
Suddenly the whole scene felt weird.
It was not until the robotic arm completed printing and a cowboy with a gun pointing forward appeared on the horse's back that the audience remembered the name of this video.
Westworld
only.
This Westworld.
It seems different from what they imagined?
With doubts, the video finally came to an end.
A huge metal ring device appeared, fixing a human bionic model with its limbs spread out in the middle, soaking it in a white liquid.
The large logo of "Westworld" also appeared, ending the broadcast.
"Ah? Is that all?"
"No more?"
“So what does this video mean?”
“It’s a little unclear, but the filming technique is really good.”
“Is the next new game from Honghuang going to be based on the Westworld theme?”
"Western cowboys? Reminds me of a game of whack-a-mole with guns outside a saloon, haha."
Compared to the shock brought by the announcement of new games by the two major companies.
The video released by Honghuang this time has caused more confusion.
Many people don't understand the significance of this video.
But there are still some sharp-eyed people who noticed the tiny words "Game CG is for reference only" at the bottom.
That is to say.
Is this really the promotional CG for the new game Honghuang?
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused widespread discussion among players, who speculated what kind of game they would make this time.
Even on video websites, some frame-by-frame analysis videos have begun to appear.
until.
A message appeared on the Internet.
"Brothers! I just received news that Honghuang is looking for actors for the new CG!"
The message was sent by a senior player.
The player circle, which was originally still discussing the matter, suddenly became excited.
"What the hell? New CG?"
"Is this news true?!"
"Don't tell me Hong Huang is going to make another movie."
"CG movie! That means the next game will be a blockbuster!"
"It's over, it's over. Hong Huang is not doing his job again."
Anyone who knows about Honghuang knows that this is a company whose CG is even better than its games.
Several promotional movies that were shot before and after have now been released overseas, and they are sold separately from the game!
Now there is news that a new CG movie is going to be made, and the players can finally hold back no longer.
As a game studio, why don’t you just focus on making games and start making movies?
Too much money to spend, right?
certainly.
This news is full of loopholes for players.
But for domestic entertainment companies, it is breaking news.
Because they all know it very well.
Although Honghuang is a game studio, it has produced two popular movies, "Titanic" and "Resident Evil", which has given Honghuang considerable influence in the film and television industry.
No matter how much they look down on CG movies.
Everyone has to pay attention to this news.
"What do you think?"
In the conference room of an entertainment company, a group of senior executives held an emergency meeting to discuss this matter.
"I think we can try contacting Honghuang. Those large entertainment companies look down on people who come from game promotion movies, but we do!"
Do you think I can look down on it?
The box office revenue of "Titanic" at home and abroad in the past year alone has surpassed most movies on the market.
No matter how much they want to ignore it, they have to admit that game promotion movies also have a huge market in the film and television industry.
Those large entertainment companies are too proud to bring themselves to cooperate with Honghuang, but they can!
As long as I can make money and make the actors famous.
What's the use of having this face?
"I think we can give it a try, too. I heard that Lian Jiangcheng Entertainment has recently started looking for cooperation in the gaming industry."
"Our competitors have also received a lot of business orders for game endorsements, and they will probably have to slowly transform themselves."
"The industry has undergone tremendous changes recently, and it is indeed time to make some changes. If we continue to cling to traditional film and television, we will only die a more miserable death."
Adapting games into movies, TV series, and even animation is definitely an emerging industry for today's film and television industry.
Because the rise of the gaming industry is unstoppable.
Many surrounding industries will be affected.
If we refuse to adapt and stick to the old ways, we will probably be drowned in the tide of change of the times.
"Okay, it's decided. Send someone to contact Honghuang immediately to discuss performance cooperation."
"I'll go there in person. This way I can show my sincerity and try to get some important roles."
"Sure. I heard that Boss Honghuang is a person who values attitude. You know how to do things in moderation, so you should know what to do."
As people who work in the film and television industry, they naturally know some inside information.
For example, when negotiating the broadcasting rights for "Titanic", many people sent by companies were rejected because their attitude was too arrogant.
The result was a benefit to a small supervisor in the B station branch.
It is precisely because of this incident.
Let them understand the temper of Boss Honghuang.
How could anyone be so stupid as to send those unreliable people to negotiate?
For a moment.
Many entertainment companies sent people to the Honghuang headquarters.
Prepare to talk to them about the CG of this game.
…
"Mr. Chen, someone outside is looking for you. It's from Starlight Interactive Entertainment."
In Honghuang's office, a call came to Chen Lin.
"Okay, I understand. Let Director Song arrange it. I've already told ."
"OK."
The phone call ended and the office fell into silence again.
Chen Lin didn't expect that before they went to find those entertainment companies, the other party came to them first.
This saves a lot of effort.
Anyway, when he chooses actors, he only looks at their appearance and character. They don't need to be famous. Of course, it would be best if the company came to him to negotiate.
Buzz——
Just as I was thinking about it, another call came in, it was from Lao Song.
"Mr. Chen, people from Jiangcheng Entertainment are here too."
"They are coming?"
Chen Lin was slightly surprised.
It seems that Anna's recent competition for the first-line position has made Jiangcheng Entertainment anxious. Such a large company actually sent people to their small studio.
"Just follow the requirements of the role. First see if it's suitable and if you're willing to act. Many people may not want to act in this script."
More than just not wanting to act.
Not rejecting it on the spot is good enough.
"Westworld" tells the story of bionic people.
Therefore, many bionic characters will be treated miserably, which greatly affects the image of the actors.
There is no way those young and handsome actors who act in war movies nowadays, with spotless hair and clothes and living in luxury villas, would take such a role.
Because it damages their image.
They can only act in those ancient fantasy romance dramas where the characters stand there with stiff faces, recite lines by reading numbers, and rely on special effects and explosions for fighting .
It's the kind of love that lasts for hundreds of thousands of years.
And the clothes they wear must be a complete set of white gauze, and not even a speck of dust can be allowed.
Let them play Westworld?
I'm afraid it would be more painful than killing them.
"It seems so... Your script is indeed a bit challenging. I will go and explain the situation to them first."
Old Song hung up the phone and looked at the representatives of several entertainment companies in the reception room again.
"As you can see, what we are going to shoot this time is a short TV series, not a movie. You have also seen the general content. Do you think it is difficult?"
"this……"
Representatives from several companies opened their mouths, but were unable to speak.
Because the script in front of them was so shocking!
Even if they only saw part of the content, it allowed them to see the amazing aspects of this TV series. It is definitely the most novel and brain-burning TV series they have seen in recent years.
This undoubtedly has the potential to be a big hit!
But the problem is.
This TV series has really high requirements for the actors!
In addition to acting skills, there are also scenes of being humiliated, being shot into a sieve, rolling in muddy water, and even sex scenes...
This really fits their chaotic image of Westworld.
But letting actors take on these roles, even if it's just special effects, is likely to affect their image.
For example, if an actress who has always played the role of an innocent girl suddenly plays a widow, she will definitely be criticized by fans, who will think that the actress is "unclean".
Even many fans who came for her innocent girl character will stop following her because of this.
Struggling for a long time.
Representatives of major companies are still undecided.
He looked at the script in his hand, hesitant.
Only the representative of Jiangcheng Entertainment, who was sitting in the middle, looked up suddenly after carefully reading the script.
"Director Song, I think our contracted actress Anna should be able to meet the requirements of the heroine. If possible, we hope to discuss this role."
