Chapter 329: Who spread the rumor that we were making a movie?
Just when all walks of life were arguing over the Titanfall recruitment campaign.
Inside the Honghuang studio.
A special team has also been formed to be responsible for the virtual research and development of "Titanfall 2".
The whole studio was in a state of busyness.
And at this time.
Chen Lin and Lao Li were standing in the production team, discussing the development details of the game.
"I think that since it's a mecha and is called Titan, it should be big and domineering, especially when it appears, falling from the sky with flames all over its body and smashing a deep hole in the ground, so the requirements for physical collision are higher, and..."
When it comes to production, Lao Li is much more capable than Lao Song. Once he starts talking, he can't stop and has a lot of ideas.
From physical collisions to panoramic vision, to weapon and equipment design, and the transition between internal and external scenes, everything is taken into account.
Even though Chen Lin was listening nearby, he couldn't help but admire in his heart that the plan was even more perfect than the one he had come up with.
"Mr. Chen, there is one more!"
At this time, A Guang, the art group leader next to him, suddenly spoke up, appearing extremely excited.
"The action of entering the cockpit must be handsome and have a sense of heaviness. This is the soul of driving a mecha!"
After all, this is his favorite game theme, so A Guang paid great attention to it and was very strict in the art aspect, striving to embody the heavy feeling of the mecha.
He didn't want to play like other similar games, where driving a mecha was like opening a plastic shell, with no feeling at all.
"Indeed, there are big differences between driving a vehicle and controlling a character. We need to study this aspect carefully. Do you have any other questions?" Chen Lin said.
"have."
Lao Li took over the conversation: "It's the kind of mechanical sensor operation that Mr. Chen mentioned before. We can realize it, but the current market is basically dominated by joystick operation. I'm afraid that players will not be very receptive to it."
If we follow what they just said.
It is necessary to reflect the heaviness of the mecha.
Players who use mechanical sensor control may not be able to accept it.
After all, I have all kinds of mechanical equipment and prosthetic limbs on my body, and it always feels weird to use them to control the mecha.
“Is this control method strange?”
Chen Lin asked in confusion.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
But right away.
He reacted.
It seems like something is indeed missing!
"I see. Don't worry, I'll take care of this problem. You just need to be responsible for making it happen."
"Mr. Chen can solve it?"
Old Li A Guang said in surprise.
What could make players accept such a strange control method?
"You will know when the time comes."
Chen Lin did not answer, but just gave a mysterious smile.
"I'll go back and prepare. You guys can start making it first."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Leaving behind two people with confused looks on their faces.
After returning to the office, he picked up the phone and dialed Jianghai Interactive Entertainment.
…
And at this time.
Zhou Fuhai, CEO of Jianghai Interactive Entertainment.
He was attending an award ceremony with a group of celebrities and crew leaders.
As a well-known domestic entertainment company with many first- and second-tier movie stars, Jianghai Interactive Entertainment's status is unquestionable.
Where Zhou Fuhai is, there are naturally many bigwigs gathered, all holding red wine glasses, chatting and laughing, discussing the current changes in the industry.
And not far away.
Many of the country's most popular movie stars also gathered here and made their debut surrounded by reporters and media.
"Sorry, I have to take a call first."
Zhou Fuhai was talking when he felt the vibration of his cell phone in his pocket and took it out with a smile.
But when he saw the name noted above, his expression suddenly changed. He turned around and left in a hurry, going to the balcony outside.
"What's wrong with Mr. Zhou? He suddenly became so anxious."
The CEO of another entertainment company said in surprise.
At their level, there should be very few things that can make them shudder.
They rarely saw Zhou Fuhai with such an expression.
"Did something happen in the company?"
Another person guessed, and couldn't help but look at Zhou Fuhai's back in the corridor.
But I found that he was actually in a servile manner at this moment, with his body slightly bent and nodding and bowing continuously.
His expression changed from anxious at the beginning to excited and then to shocked, causing him to forget to control his voice while speaking.
"Mr. Chen, are you serious? You want to make a top-notch special effects movie!?"
As soon as these words came out.
Including the stars, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads.
Top special effects blockbuster!
Not every film or television work can deserve this title.
Mr. Zhou actually received a call from the film producer at this time?
But the problem is.
I haven’t heard .
And it seems that there is no film and television company’s CEO with the surname Chen.
If they knew, they wouldn't be chatting here. They would have sent their agents to fight for the role long ago.
After all, this kind of film is hard to come by.
It may not be possible to release one in a year.
There was also a bit more envy and eagerness in his eyes when he looked at Zhou Fuhai.
until.
Zhou Fuhai's next words came out.
"Okay, okay, of course. I'll arrange for someone to go to the Honghuang headquarters to discuss it as soon as I get back. I can find any actor no matter what kind of actor they are."
boom!
The crowd exploded instantly.
Even the expressions of those big guys changed, and their eyes were fixed on the phone that Zhou Fuhai had just hung up and taken back.
Primitive times!
He seemed to have mentioned the prehistoric times just now!
Today's leading company in the virtual industry!
Could it be that...
Just thinking about it.
Zhou Fuhai had finished his call and walked back from the balcony.
At this moment, he was completely different from the person just now. He looked very happy and slightly excited.
Seeing this, the others could no longer bear it and rushed over.
"Mr. Zhou, who was the one who called you just now?"
"Uh...did you all hear that?"
Zhou Fuhai paused for a moment, then realized that he had spoken too loudly.
But thinking of what he had just said on the phone, he took a deep breath and said, "To be honest, I just received a call from Honghuang for a CG movie, a virtual special effects blockbuster."
really!
Everyone was shocked.
My guess was correct, it really is a movie from the ancient times!
After such a long time, Honghuang is finally going to make a new CG movie for their game.
And it’s the virtual movie that’s very popular recently!
This time.
A number of CEOs and movie stars became even more jealous.
You should know that when it comes to virtual technology, Honghuang is definitely the most mature one.
If you can get a role in this movie, becoming a big star will be a piece of cake.
"Boss Zhou is really capable. He actually managed to get the business order from Honghuang. Now many people can't even ask for it."
"What kind of movie is it? If you're short of actors, don't forget us at Longyu. We can easily get you some first- and second-tier actors."
"It's the same for us at Xinghua. We only need one role. If you have any questions in the future, please feel free to contact me, Brother Zhou."
"Mr. Zhou, you can consider us if you need anything."
"Yes, yes, yes. We have also been looking for a suitable virtual movie recently."
Don’t be fooled by the fact that these big stars are usually the center of attention and have a very high status.
There is a lot of competition behind the scenes.
Naturally they would not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and they all came up to build connections and become familiar with the crowd, hoping to secure a role for themselves.
"Haha, no problem. The requirements from Honghuang are quite strict this time. If there is any need, I will definitely contact you as soon as possible."
At this time, Zhou Fuhai was in high spirits.
The whole person held his head high and chest puffed out.
Although they are relatively famous in this generation, they are still somewhat inferior to the big-name entertainment companies in Beijing and Hong Kong circles.
If Hong Huang's CG movie becomes a hit.
Maybe it can really enhance the influence of Jianghai Interactive Entertainment in the country.
So he didn't stay long.
After chatting with others for a few words, he hurriedly left the party, rushed back to the company, and urgently summoned his artists.
And this news.
It also spread quickly through on-site media and on the Internet.
"Big news! Several bigwigs in the entertainment industry revealed that Honghuang is preparing to shoot a virtual movie with top-notch special effects!"
"WTF? Top-notch special effects?"
"Is this news true?"
"What kind of movie is it?"
"After such a long time, you're finally going to release a new movie?"
"It's been a long time indeed, I'm looking forward to it!"
As soon as the news spread, the entire Internet became agitated and people were discussing the matter heatedly.
For no other reason.
Just for the reputation of "top special effects" and "virtual movie".
Although they have watched quite a few virtual movies released by other companies during this period.
But I still want to see how the virtual movies made by Honghuang are different from those, after all, it is the initiator of virtual technology.
Many media outlets that were paying attention to this matter smelled the scent of headlines and made appointments to rush to Honghuang to interview Chen Lin.
"Mr. Chen, is it true that there is a rumor online that Honghuang is preparing a groundbreaking special effects virtual movie?"
A reporter sitting opposite Chen Lin politely extended the microphone.
She was a little excited at the moment.
Because you will soon get important first-hand information.
If you go back and modify it and send it out, you will definitely get a lot of attention, and then getting a promotion and a raise in salary will no longer be a dream.
However.
To everyone's surprise.
Hearing her question, Chen Lin's brows suddenly frowned.
"It's a rumor. It's pure rumor! When did we ever say we were going to make a movie? That was just a promotional CG for the game."
"ah?"
Everyone present
He stared in astonishment at Chen Lin who was speaking righteously.
The photographers in charge of the filming looked at each other in confusion. Why was this different from what we had agreed on?
After a while.
The reporter came to his senses.
He opened his mouth and asked hesitantly, "But I heard that Honghuang invited more than a dozen well-known domestic and foreign actors. Is this also... for shooting CG?"
"Yes, we are a game studio. Is there any problem with investing more in publicity and promotion?"
There is a problem!
This is a big problem!
Have you ever seen anyone hire so many famous actors to shoot game CG?
There are also several top-tier stars among them!
Such a luxurious lineup.
Just to promote the game?
Everyone present didn't know how to complain.
But one thing is certain.
This movie was indeed created to promote the game.
Or say.
Honghuang was making a movie.
Made a special game?
right!
That’s absolutely true!
Although he was suspicious, the reporter still asked, "Can you tell me what kind of promotional movie this is, or what kind of game it is... uh, CG?"
"Well, you all probably know this. It's the game IP we just acquired recently, Titanfall."
"Titanfall? Is it a mecha theme?"
"Yes, this promotional CG will be presented in the theme of mecha. Those who like this kind of theme can look forward to it."
This kind of free publicity would be a waste if not used up, so Chen Lin started advertising directly in front of the camera.
When the people around heard this, they showed surprised expressions.
Because in recent years, we have rarely seen people making movies with this theme, and the box office performance is really not very good.
But if it is used to promote the game.
It seems to make sense again.
so.
Honghuang wouldn't really invite so many famous movie stars just to shoot a game promotional video, right?
The strange gaze fell on Chen Lin again.
The reporter sitting in the front also asked the last question:
"Can you tell me the name of the promotional video?"
"Pacific Rim, this is its name. It should be available to everyone soon." Chen Lin said with a smile.
final.
The interview ended successfully.
The reporters left the headquarters of Honghuang Studio with a lot of questions in their minds.
