Chapter 199: A Game Destined to Become a Global Hit
Hengdian, New World Headquarters.
Yang Hong has already regarded this place as her home.
Not emotionally, but practically.
Yang Hong often spent the night in the company.
"After taking down Zhu Hongyuan, we already have a second-tier star..."
Yang Hong was calculating how far he was from his interim goal, then he glanced at his phone and became completely Spartan.
Directly dialed the number.
The reason Yang Hong came back to Hengdian this time was to win over a second-tier star. She came back specifically for this purpose and will be going to Yanjing soon.
Because the first concert of May 68th at Phoenix National Stadium will be held the day after tomorrow.
Yang Hong's plan was pretty good. After the concert, Han Zhou would go to organize the Children's Day activities, and then he could have a rest.
Before this, Yang Hong also knew that Han Zhou wanted to set up a media, and Yang Hong agreed with Han Zhou's point of view, so she did not urge Han Zhou to rehearse.
However, today, Yang Hong thought that Han Zhou should go to rehearse with Chen Feng and the others on his own.
Unexpectedly, Lin Lin said that Han Zhou went to Shudu and went to the animation department.
Yang Hong was going crazy.
Then he made a phone call, but it was turned off. It was obvious that Han Zhou was on the plane.
Yang Hong was stunned.
Sister Jin sent a message saying that Chen Feng asked Han Zhou when to meet with them so that they could practice a few chorus songs together.
Yang Hong didn't know how to respond.
Reply: Han Zhou left you three behind to take care of company matters?
Yang Hong was helpless.
Finally, the call got through.
Han Zhou picked up the phone: "Hello, Sister Hong, what's going on?"
Yang Hong: "Han Zhou!!!"
"You went to Shudu?"
Han Zhou: “Yes.”
Yang Hong: "Do you remember the May 68th concert?"
Han Zhou: “…”
Yang Hong: "Now that the other three are here, if you don't go, how will they see you in the future?"
Han Zhou: "What I have to do now is far more important than five, six, and eight."
"Five, six, eight, it was just a spur of the moment thing, just for fun, but what I'm going to do now is related to whether Chinese culture can become popular around the world!"
Yang Hong: “…”
"???"
“…”
I have little education, so don't lie to me.
Is it so important?
"this!"
Yang Hong felt a headache and covered her forehead: "No matter how big the matter is, it is not as important as the word credit."
"You know better than anyone that the entertainment industry is all about face."
"Chen Feng is the king of rock, and Zhang Ceyong is the number one in the entertainment industry right now."
"They all went to rehearsal, and if you don't go, what will they think and what will their team think?"
"If this gets out, what will their fans say?"
"When the time comes, won't a lot of people find fault with you for being such a big shot?!"
Han Zhou: "Dark? Am I afraid of the dark?"
"Wait a minute, I'll just tell them."
After saying that, Han Zhou hung up the phone.
After a while, Han Zhou sent a screenshot.
This is a screenshot of the 568 group.
Han Zhou: [Everyone, I have to be late for rehearsal. I have an important production and need to go to Shudu. I will try to come back in half a day.]
Chen Feng: [Collecting folk songs and creating works? Go ahead, it’s okay. It’s just a matter of rehearsing a few songs. Can’t we get it done? ]
Zhang Ceyong: [If I sing badly and my fans don't scold me, you can go as you like. Just remember to bring back hotpot ingredients.]
Lin Xiaoxing: [I really can’t eat hot pot, but I can eat spiced rabbit head. I’ll give you some spiced rabbit head.]
Han Zhou: [OK]
Chen Feng: [I heard that Shudu has a local specialty, a fruit iPad. Bring some. I want the 258G one.]
Han Zhou: [Middle finger/JPG]
Yang Hong: ???
Han Zhou really didn't have time to chat with Yang Hong. Han Zhou still had to sort out his plan in his mind, and then think about how to be comprehensive and inform Liu Tiantan's team in detail.
…
New World Animation Division.
The middle level of the animation department and members of the newly established game group gathered together.
Han Zhou stood on the stage and wrote the word "Honghuang" on the whiteboard.
Everyone looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou looked at everyone and said, "I know you have made your own plans, but I have a plan that requires you to completely negate your plans and then use my plan."
Many people in the audience rolled their eyes.
After working in this industry for a long time, everyone knows that the boss likes to come up with stupid ideas on the spur of the moment, and then a good game plan is finally made into a basis for the defense.
They are all too familiar with this.
This time Liu Tiantan recruited them and promised to make the most famous game, the best game in the country.
And took out the background information of Honghuang.
After watching Hong Huang, everyone was inspired and came up with many different ideas.
By now, the game is almost half done.
Any model you pick out can be said to be the pinnacle of domestic games.
The picture quality, smoothness, and every aspect are done to the best.
And now, the boss says he wants to overturn everything.
this……
Han Zhou: "In my plan, the prehistoric world is divided into three worlds. Three worlds, three ways to play."
Everyone: ...
As we all know, you can’t bite off more than you can chew, and the greedier you are, the worse the game will become.
Han Zhou: "The three worlds are the Celestial Immortal Realm, the Earthly Immortal Realm, and the Human Immortal Realm."
Han Zhou drew a square on the whiteboard and put a few dots on it.
“5V5 real-time battle platform, celestial world gameplay.”
Some people in the audience stretched their necks, while others leaned back tactically.
Isn't this a 5V5 electronic battle game evolved from RPG, MOBA?
MOBA is the abbreviation of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena.
Make it into a mobile game version?
Han Zhou: "This Tianxian Realm, you see, it's a MOBA, right?"
Everyone wondered, isn't it?
Are you ready to redefine it?
Please don't be so funny, it's easy to make people laugh. If this gets out, how can we go out? Will our colleagues not laugh to death when they see us?
Han Zhou said seriously: "This is a social software."
Everyone retreated tactically again.
However, some people were surprised and fell into deep thought.
Han Zhou: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand. For this game, I plan to cooperate with Penguin and use their user scale to complete the gamification of social software."
"For this, I can give them 50% of the profits of the Celestial Realm."
If the profit is this high, Penguin has no reason to refuse. Of course, let alone if it is done, even if it is still under development, Penguin will most likely come to you on its own initiative.
The advantage of taking the initiative to contact them is that they can refuse the shareholding form, and Han Zhou can give them half of the permanent operating profits.
The number of Penguin users is worth the price.
Han Zhou: "I don't need to tell you how to make this game, right? Is there anyone who hasn't played a MOBA?"
Liu Tiantan raised his hand awkwardly.
Han Zhou: "Okay, don't interfere in the affairs of the Celestial Realm, just be yourself."
Han Zhou wrote the three big words "Earthly Immortal Realm" next to it.
"The Earthly Immortal Realm is a stand-alone game."
“Also an open-world adventure game.”
Many people were confused. An open world adventure game? A stand-alone or console game?
The so-called open world game is different from the main line game.
Players have the highest degree of freedom. They can freely choose what tasks to do and where to adventure.
Han Zhou continued: "The game takes place in a fantasy world called 'Honghuang', where those chosen by the gods will be granted 'Xianyun' to guide the power of the five elements. Players will play a mysterious character called 'Xianzhe', and meet companions with different personalities and unique abilities during their free travels. Together with them, they will defeat powerful enemies and recover lost memories - at the same time, gradually discover the truth of 'Honghuang'."
MiHoYo wanted to hit someone after hearing this.
Fuck, Hongpi!
Han Zhou needs to talk for a long time here, one by one.
Han Zhou spent two hours orally describing the entire gameplay of the original God... No, it should be the "primordial fairyland".
All the place names were changed to Honghuang, the story was changed to Honghuang, and the characters were changed to Honghuang.
However, Han Zhou's "primordial fairyland" is different from the original god.
Genshin Impact is said to have infinite growth and infinite world.
It is constantly updated, constantly bringing players the latest things to attract players to continue playing.
This move can be said to be the same as the original version update of World of Warcraft.
Most online games use this method to attract players to keep playing.
And Genshin Impact is also said to be an online game.
In fact, it is a stand-alone game, but it has online functionality.
But, essentially it is a stand-alone machine.
Han Zhou doesn't need to worry about updating anything for 'Honghuang'.
Because there are too many stories in the ancient times and the system is too large.
The goal is to become a saint, which is very similar to the throne of the original god.
Moreover, no matter how the story structure of Genshin Impact is done, it can never be greater than that of Primordial Chaos.
What's more, Honghuang also has time versions, with different catastrophes, and updates can be carried out almost infinitely.
After Han Zhou finished talking about the original god, bah! It was the gameplay of the prehistoric immortal world, all the experts present were stunned.
The people present here have the gaming mindset of about 16 years in their previous life.
Of course they were surprised to hear about the planning of a game that started production in 2017, was first released in 2019, and was almost complete in 2021.
Because there are so many new things in it.
Moreover, it is self-consistent and logically consistent, the kind that will go viral as soon as you hear it.
Everyone looked at Han Zhou and finally understood why this man could write "Honghuang" by himself.
Isn't this...perverted!!!
The world of immortals, MOBA, no one is fighting.
The world of immortals, adventure in the free world.
After the two are connected, I am afraid that the earthly immortal world and the celestial immortal world will rely on each other, and their vitality will be extremely tenacious!
First of all, the heroes in the celestial world must all be boss level.
After everyone is familiar with the background story, when playing the Earthly Immortal World, they will definitely look forward to the updated version in which these bosses will be released.
Every time a well-known boss is updated, it will definitely drive players crazy.
A MOBA game can have more than a hundred heroes.
It updates once every three months. Can you believe that it can be updated for decades?
Even if you are an old player, once you get into the game, you can't get out for twenty years.
In fact, "World of Warcraft" has been perfectly integrated here.
The platform of "Honor of Kings", the gameplay of "Genshin Impact", and the operating method of "World of Warcraft".
So, what is the third world?
There are three realms, the third one should be the human and immortal realm, right?
Han Zhou wrote the three words "Human Immortal Realm" on the whiteboard.
"The third world, the human-immortal world, is... Earth."
Everyone looked at each other, not understanding.
What's the meaning?
Han Zhou: "The human fairyland is the Earth."
Han Zhou was very sure of this.
Liu Tiantan asked on behalf of everyone: "So, how do you play in the human-immortal world?"
Han Zhou: “AR.”
"In reality, this planet is called Earth."
"And in our game, this world is called Earth."
"Anywhere on this planet, a demon beast, a divine beast, a fairy beast, or even a dragon, phoenix, or unicorn, or even a legendary creature from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, may suddenly appear."
"Everyone can capture these beasts and then fight them."
Liu Tiantan was stunned for a moment: "This..."
Han Zhou: "This sounds difficult, but it's actually very easy to do. All you need to do is find the coordinates of the creatures that are refreshed."
"What we need is a global map as a technical support. Of course, with money in hand, this is a simple thing."
"What you need to do is to design a large number of monster models and simple fighting scenes."
Han Zhou's version of "Hong Huang" can be said to be terrifying.
The celestial world battle platform of “Honor of Kings” serves as a social tool.
Any player can call friends to play together.
"Genshin Impact" has rich gameplay. If you don't want to compete for victory or defeat, just want to play by yourself, or want to play some growth-oriented games, you can play the Earthly Immortal Realm.
"Pokémon AR" as a new and trendy way of playing in the world of humans and immortals can definitely make "Honghuang" popular in the whole world in a short time.
Of course, because it does not have the popularity base of Pocket Elves, "Honghuang" needs to spend a lot of money on promotion. At the same time, it needs three different gameplays: the earthly fairy world, the human fairy world, and the sky fairy world to attract players at the same time and finally achieve the effect of a strong combination.
These four things have been proven by the market and will achieve huge success.
In fact , mainly the Genshin Impact mode and the Pocket Elf AR mode are what drive the popularity of "Honghuang". The "Honor of Kings" mode is used to attract the cultivation of old users, and the "World of Warcraft" mode also has this function.
These things are the essence of games from China, the United States, Japan and the Three Kingdoms in previous lives, combined together and loaded on the same system.
The deification of this system is inevitable.
Technically, this is not a big problem.
If you can't do it, you can find people who can do it. As long as you have money, you can do anything.
Three ways of playing and four game characteristics, when combined with each other, are completely more than just one plus one.
This is to catch almost all types of players in one fell swoop.
Do you like playing e-sports? ? Honghuang is e-sports.
Do you like to play the game of cultivation? Honghuang is all about cultivation.
Do you like the latest and most trendy ways of playing? Honghuang has plenty of them.
Liu Tiantan thought for a moment and said, "So, in the future, there may be a scenario like this: when a person arrives at a place, the first thing he does is to open his phone, open Honghuang, and see if there are any local monsters that can be caught?"
"Since the game is already open, why not play a couple of games?"
Han Zhou shook his head: "You are wrong. In the future, when powerful monsters appear somewhere and there is news on the Internet, players will drive, ride, or fly to watch and try to capture them."
"For example, I will place a candle dragon on the Great Wall."
"If you want to see this super dragon that controls the rules of the world, you have to climb up the Great Wall to see it."
"For example, each major scenic spot, famous mountain and river will have its own unique and terrifying monster."
“It’s also a punch-in achievement.”
The original Pokémon AR had too few powerful Pokémons, so it was impossible to implement the check-in plan.
But "Honghuang" can do it.
A designer in the audience laughed bitterly: "If that's the case, wouldn't we have to design countless monsters?"
Han Zhou: "Are you stupid?"
"The five elements, plus the names of animals, can be arranged and combined."
“When players see it, they immediately know what this beast is.”
Fire, plus tiger, the raging fire tiger.
Advancing to the next level, Fiery Spirit Tiger.
Advancing to the next level, Immortal Fire Spirit Tiger.
Going up, the Immortal Fire and Immortal Tiger.
Then there is the True Fire Immortal Tiger, the Samadhi True Fire Immortal Tiger.
Going further up, we will take out the characters that already existed in the prehistoric world, such as General Yin in Journey to the West, Bashan Tiger, Tiger Vanguard, and Tiger Power Immortal.
By changing the attributes, you can also combine earth, water, gold and wood.
One model can be used to make five five-element monsters.
As you move up, just make slight changes.
If you want to advance further, just make some more changes.
Don't change it too much, just wear his shoulder armor and it will be done, right?
Only characters with names have their own separate models.
When making games, of course you do this?!
After Han Zhou explained it once, everyone knew what to do.
Then, I started thinking about how difficult it was to make this game.
Han Zhou smiled. This game didn’t require how big or good the game itself was, but a strong and powerful background.
As long as you have enough hardware, you will have a great experience even if the quality of the game itself is not the best.
What's more, laying the foundation in the first step is just a simple matter. If you continue to update it later, it will become easier and easier as the team becomes more proficient and the technology matures.
Liu Tiantan was puzzled: "Brother Han, I have a huge problem."
Han Zhou: "You say."
Liu Tiantan: "Aren't we making this game to promote the system of "Honghuang"?"
"If you do this, the game might be fun, but it's also easy to get started. Who would bother to study the background story?!"
Han Zhou: "Simple?"
"Yes, the basics are very simple and anyone can play it."
"But if they want to defeat the famous characters in The Great Desolation, they have to understand The Great Desolation."
Liu Tiantan: "What you mean is..."
Han Zhou: "Any boss with a name will be set to SSS difficulty."
"It requires the player to operate without error and fight for at least five minutes to kill the enemy."
"Or, you can fight to the death with only one mistake in ten minutes."
"Or you have to make two mistakes in half an hour to get the kill."
"If you make more than three mistakes, you won't be able to kill the opponent no matter what."
“But at the same time, each boss has a weakness based on their characteristics in the background story of “Honghuang”.”
"As long as you do A or even B level operations, you can beat them."
"After this setting, players will become addicted to the game and must learn about the story of Honghuang so that they can compete with more powerful people and have a better gaming experience."
Imagine that you are bringing a wood spirit wolf, and the other party is bringing Kunpeng.
What the hell are you doing!
Others get their rewards and fly away on the clouds, while you are running around on the ground. Can you bear it?
The key is that it is not difficult to get the cloud. If you read "Honghuang Stories", you will know that there is a somersault cloud in the Xieyue Sanxing Cave.
Are you going?
As you explore this game, many stories and scenes will surely become classic memories shared by a generation of players.
As the game expands, more and more people will begin to actively promote the background of this game.
More and more people around the world will know the background of this game .
Just like even if you don’t play "World of Warcraft", you know that orcs will never be slaves, for the tribe!
In the future, even if you don’t play games, you will know about the ‘Seventy-two Transformations’, the ‘Five Finger Mountain’, the ‘Huashan Suppression’ and the ‘Hongmeng Purple Qi’.
When this gaming culture takes shape.
In fact, it is equivalent to making foreigners familiar with Chinese culture.
During this process, the animation department is also constantly launching personal movies for different characters, or the main film and television stories of a certain catastrophe in "Honghuang", animated versions of the stories.
The entire system is promoted together.
This is the effect Han Zhou wanted to achieve when he chose "Honghuang" in the first place.
This time, Han Zhou figured out a problem.
That is, who says a game is a game.
I want to turn one game into three games.
If someone develops a cool game in the future, I will fucking follow suit!
It’s like when Dota released chess, League of Legends immediately released chess.
I, Honghuang, can’t play chess?
You leave the exciting battlefield, I will go directly to the fairy battlefield.
What's more, if this game becomes bigger in scale, the strongest people in the industry will join New World's game department in the future, and their own creativity may be more than that of the spin-offs.
In the future, "Honghuang" will become a world culture that is more popular than "Star Wars".
At future comic conventions, there may be a group of people wearing standard armor and cosplaying as heavenly soldiers.
When the fan base became numerous, more and more practitioners came in to continue to enrich and expand the expression of Honghuang, using the original story as a blueprint and constantly updating it.
The vitality of this thing will be tied to the word "entertainment".
As long as entertainment is not dead, prehistoric times will not die.
Even if Han Zhou died, Honghuang would still exist.
By then, games will be peripherals of film and television.
Movies and TV are peripherals of games.
As soon as the movie came out, game fans flocked to it.
If the movie is of high quality, a large number of new fans will become game fans.
Mutual achievement, game fans are so upset, "How come the movie is out, but the bosses in the game are not updated? Don't you want to make money? What? The bosses are out, but why are there no movie version costumes? Don't you sell skins to make money? Damn, I'm offering money but you won't sell them."
By then, New World Animation will not have to make money, and fans will force New World Animation to make money.
At that point, New World Animation Department is Tsuburaya and Disney.
And according to the plan, when these things become popular, the fan fiction in the future will continue to grow, and the employee pool of the new world will continue to grow stronger and stronger. When the snowball starts to roll, it is destined to be big enough to shock the world.
Han Zhou on the stage: "Do you understand?"
Everyone looked at each other.
Han Zhou: "Take your time to digest this. I'm going to Yanjing for a concert. I'm going to the airport now."
Han Zhou came in a hurry, like purple air coming from the east, sweeping over three thousand miles.
It floated away like a dragon with only the head and tail to be seen.
Many years later, when the elders of Honghuang Paradise Group mentioned Han Zhou's name, their eyes were still filled with worship as if they had seen a god: "He is the god of entertainment. The things you think of now are all the things he has played with, and he has seen through the essence of the world."
"At least in our line of work, before you start working!!!... you have to spit at his portrait!"
"Han Shen, I respect you as a god... but you are such a jerk for saying that. You just open your mouth and say that we have been working overtime for 30 years and "Hong Huang" has not been updated yet!"
"When the leader opens his mouth, the lackeys run and break their legs, run and break their legs, break their legs, legs, ah!"
