Chapter 434: A sudden downturn! Questions are pouring in!

soon!

Discussions about the "Payday" DLC "John Wick" are spreading across the gaming circle.

And just one week later, Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures jointly announced that the DLC movie of the same name "John Wick" had officially started filming and announced some of the cast members.

This movie adapted from a game quickly became a hit.

The discussion is not only hot in the gaming circle, but also in the film, television and entertainment circles, attracting a lot of attention!

After all, compared to other movies adapted from games, the cast of "John Wick" is unprecedentedly strong.

Even the once popular "Resident Evil" could not compare with it.

It is undoubtedly the work with the most powerful cast in the history of game-adapted movies, no doubt about it!

All of a sudden, reports came in one after another.

《【John Wick】is announced to start filming! Golden Wind's first game-adapted movie is launched! 》

"Dreamlike linkage! Following Pacific Rim, Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures have in-depth cooperation!"

"The designer who understands the language of the camera best in the gaming industry & the president who is most obsessed with games in the film and television industry! What kind of sparks can Gu Sheng and Thomas Tull create?"

"In my lifetime! Golden Wind and Legendary Pictures join forces, the game-adapted movie [John Wick] has received widespread attention!"

"The real "Golden Film Studio"! Golden Wind x Legendary Pictures will jointly produce the game-adapted movie "John Wick: Chapter 11", starring Keanu Reeves!"

《……》

It is now the end of winter and the beginning of spring.

Although the temperature is still a little cold, with the announcement of the start of filming of this game-adapted movie, the popularity of Golden Wind seems to have reached an unprecedented height.

A company that is at the forefront of the gaming industry, coupled with an unprecedentedly luxurious cast.

Everything happened just as Gu Sheng had expected, and it instantly set off a sensation in the gaming and even film and television entertainment circles.

A gaming company.

Developed a game.

Adapted into a movie.

It ignited the hot expectations in the gaming and entertainment circles.

This situation seems to remind people of another company's top operation at the Clone Game Exhibition that just ended at the beginning of the year -

"It's really sad that some people are very successful in adapting games into movies, while others use top IPs to derive a bunch of shapeless arguments."

'Kotick: Hey? What are you talking about? What are you talking about?'

'I always feel that Xiao Huang did it on purpose'

"Forehand and backhand teaching, right?"

'Tell Kotick to go back to Gotham. Batman promised not to beat him.'

"The key is that this wave is too targeted, and Cologne was just over not long ago, it's hard not to make associations."

"Golden Wind: Watch carefully, I will only teach you once."

'It feels like the dark humor of a dark-minded guy like Lao Zei.'

"I don't know if Lao Zeiyou is humorous, but compared to the two, Kodick is really quite humorous."

'To this day, I still can't understand how they turned such a top IP as The Lord of the Rings into a bunch of debates'

'Unheard of History'

“Hahahahahahahahahahahaha…”

"……"

Obviously!

With the announcement of the start of filming, not only did the hot effect that Gu Sheng had expected be achieved.

The "forehand and backhand teaching" that Shen Miaomiao had just casually mentioned at the beginning was also miraculously realized.

Everything seems to be going very smoothly. The previous discussion about the mediocre industrial quality of "Payday" seems to have been gradually ignored with the announcement of "John Wick: Chapter 8".

Until half a month later!

The emergence of a piece of news caused the reputation of Golden Wind, which was originally going smoothly, to take a sharp turn for the worse in an instant.

…

"Game film adaptation: Is it diversified development? Or is it the end of the road?"

This article originally appeared in SNG Weekly.

It was written by a Chinese SNG editor.

As the world's largest comprehensive gaming media, this article immediately attracted a lot of attention as soon as it was released.

Although the title of the article did not name anyone.

But at this time, it is not difficult to see who the protagonist of such an article published in the world's most influential gaming weekly is.

The article points out that -

[Today’s game-to-movie craze is undoubtedly a “double ecstasy” for the gaming and film and television circles, but the problems hidden behind it cannot be ignored...]

[…We can’t help but ask: Is it a new way out for our game industry to develop in such a difficult situation by mobilizing players’ attention in such a grand manner, and shifting their attention from mediocre games to game-adapted movies with a strong cast? ]

[We can’t help but ask again: Can a temporary carnival really solve the problem of no engines available, which hinders the progress of the entire industry? 】

[We can't help but ask: The host event is imminent, and there is no progress on the key core issues! At this time, can such a carnival really be called a "new progress" in industrial diversification? Or is it just a helpless move when there is nothing else to do? ]

[…As a Chinese, I am very pleased to see the progress and development of the Chinese game industry in recent years.]

[But as a media person who has been engaged in the game industry for more than ten years, I know more clearly that behind this short and numb cheer, what is hidden is the pain of the core technology of China's game industry...]

One stone can cause a thousand ripples!

Without a doubt!

The appearance of this article is like throwing a huge rock into a lake with rippling water!

It instantly caused an uproar!

After all, he is a Chinese editor working in SNG, and he has a greater nationality advantage when commenting on the "Chinese engine dilemma".

Plus, this article is so “clear”, “objective”, “rational” and “well-reasoned”.

In a very short period of time, the heated discussions about "John Wick" were curbed.

And it guides countless players around the world to "see the essence through the phenomenon."

The focus is now back on the key issue of the [Golden Engine Dilemma].

Players are discussing——

'OMG is worthy of being a Chinese editor, your analysis of the problem is so thorough'

'An article that is sharp, objective and rational'

"The Golden Engine is still facing difficulties. The mediocre technical capabilities still cannot support Sam to realize his game ideas."

"As the article says, now that China's game engine is blocked, hyping up a game-adapted movie is indeed a bit of an attempt to cover up one's own guilt."

'It's a worrying fact'

"In this case, it seems that the game-adapted movie should not be so hyped up. It seems that Golden Wind is deliberately using other more explosive news to cover up its own shortcomings."

"After all, Payday is just a test game, and it shouldn't have received such unprecedented treatment. And if GW is interested in developing a film and television adaptation, A Way Out seems to be more suitable than Payday."

"Use film and television to make up for the shortcomings of game technology? I think this article's analysis makes sense..."

"I believe Sam must be very helpless and can only resort to this last resort."

"But the CJ Expo in China is coming soon..."

"Yes, that's why they used John Wick to test the market. Then they can use this method to promote the game at CJ Expo."

"But I still like GW's games after all."

"It feels like GW is overdrawing its gaming power..."

"……"

The power of words.

Using a pen as a knife is never an exaggeration.

In fact, to some extent, the pen of a media person with a wide range of influence is more powerful than John Wick's pencil!

The wind direction suddenly changed!

The gaming community seemed to have "woke up" overnight——

"The more you try to hide, the more obvious it becomes? Is the road to movie adaptations of games a "forward-backhand teaching" or a "test of players' bottom line?""

"Self-developed engine is in trouble, Golden Wind takes another approach"

"Gold is covered in dust, self-developed engines face many difficulties; Dongdao is in a dilemma, looking for other solutions is only a temporary solution but not a fundamental solution"

Diversification or a helpless move? The much-anticipated John Wick: Chapter 11 may be the beginning of the golden era's decline

《……》

Reports are pouring in!

The voices of pessimism are rampant!

Although it seems that the rhythm this time is similar to the previous rhythm of criticizing "Payday" and criticizing the mediocre performance of the Golden Engine.

But actually!

Everyone knows.

The lethality and severity of this public opinion are far greater than the previous minor incidents!

This time, what the media and public opinion pointed out was not how mediocre your self-developed engine is, but that "the road of self-developed engines for the Chinese game industry will most likely encounter a Waterloo"!

And as the related discussions intensify!

While everyone was still speculating and questioning!

An even more important piece of news then broke out.

And with the breaking of this news, the suspense seemed to be killed in an instant.

The golden trend is fading, and even the speculation that China's self-developed engine will fail seems to have been finalized.

A person who claims to be a "Gold Engine R&D executive" posted a message in the [Huaxia Game Developer Forum]:

[Risking my life to reveal! Engine development | The situation is indeed not optimistic...]

On the first floor of the post, the whistleblower first hung up a work badge with his personal name coded.

In the uncoded part, words such as "Golden Engine R&D Department" and "Senior Engineer" are clearly visible on the work badge.

"I am occupying the first floor. I am in an Internet cafe. I am risking my life to expose the information. I will first post a picture of my internal work ID. Please forgive me for blurring my name..."

The standard breaking news format occupies the first floor of the post.

There is a good saying -

On the Internet, you never know whether it’s a person or a dog on the other end of the information flow.

In the current public opinion environment, there are many different opinions and endless speculations.

Leaking information itself is the best way to attract attention.

Especially this kind of "personal experience" revelations.

Plus this convincing work permit.

There is no doubt that the forum exploded instantly!

In just three minutes, the floor had already soared to over 200 floors.

"Damn it! Pictures speak louder than words!"

'Strong onlookers!'

'The author of the topic is awesome! '
