Chapter 89 It's time to come up with something different
"Anna! It's a hit, the movie you made is a hit!"
Jiangcheng, in a rental house.
Excited shouts rang out, and Anna's roommate ran into her room with her cell phone.
And at this time.
Anna was sitting in front of the computer, looking at the box office data.
Compared to excitement, she was more in disbelief at this moment.
In just one week, the box office exceeded 100 million yuan.
Is this really the game CG movie she starred in?
Not to mention breaking 100 million.
Even if the box office exceeded 10 million, it was something she had never dared to imagine before.
But Honghuang Studio has accomplished something that seems like a miracle, and it is right in front of them.
Looking at the comments below the movie and the praise for her role, she didn't know why she felt like crying .
So many years of acting career.
It’s finally over!
Beep beep——
At this time, the bell rang.
Suddenly, several messages popped up on the phone.
[Anna, congratulations, the movie is a big hit at the box office.]
[Sister Anna, you didn't even inform me of such a great show. I won't play with you next time. Humph.]
[Sorry, Anna, I misunderstood you before and shouldn't have questioned your choice.]
[Nana, I'm really sorry for giving your role to someone else last time. I'll treat you to a meal when I have the chance. I hope you can forgive me.]
[Hello, I am from Jianghai Interactive Entertainment. Do you have any plans to sign a contract with an entertainment company in the near future? ]
Along with these messages, there were also phone calls that came in like crazy, making her phone ring non-stop.
Anna covered her mouth and looked at these people and entertainment companies that she had difficulty contacting on a normal day, her heart trembling.
She knows.
The decision I made back then was the right one.
…
The other side.
Honghuang Studio.
After finishing everything, Chen Lin and his team started their first meeting after the New Year.
All employees of the production team were gathered at the conference table to brainstorm and determine the theme of the next game project.
"Okay, today is a free meeting, you can make any suggestions you want."
Chen Lin sat in the first seat and glanced at the people below.
"Let me say a few words before that."
Old Song spoke first and picked up the document that had just been printed on the table.
"According to my investigations recently, some domestic manufacturers have already started to take action. Many companies have publicly announced that they are preparing to launch new games. These are the types of games I have counted. Please take a look."
As he spoke, he distributed the documents so that everyone present got one.
Chen Lin took the document and looked at it for a while, then raised his head and asked: "Are they planning to quickly occupy the market in the first quarter?"
"Yes." Lao Song replied, "With the capital injection, their game production cycle has been shortened a lot. It is estimated that many new games will be launched in the near future."
According to the records in his file, there were no less than 20 manufacturers who announced new games at the beginning of the year alone, and the number will only increase as time goes by.
By then they will face a competitive situation where a hundred flowers bloom.
"In this case, we need to think carefully about our next project." Old Li on the side said seriously.
"How about we also make a mainstream FPS game?" one of the employees suggested.
Once this was said, the other employees started talking.
"I don't think so. There are too many games of this kind on the market now."
"How about the Xianxia game? Aren't ancient Xianxia games popular recently?"
"Won't this collide with Changyou? I think it would be better to do historical war themes, at least we can avoid some of them."
"Historical wars, low-level martial arts backgrounds shouldn't be popular now, right?"
"Indeed, nowadays, they are all flying around in the sky, and one big move can instantly destroy the entire screen. They are very flashy."
Historical war?
Hearing the employees talking at once, Chen Lin began to think silently.
It seems...it’s not impossible to do it?
The main reason why this type of game is so unpopular nowadays is that it is too repetitive.
Especially those well-known eras, almost all of them have been ruined by major manufacturers.
So no matter what later generations do, they cannot escape the influence of previous works and are unconsciously influenced by them.
Players have seen so much that they naturally feel that they are all the same and lack novelty, and over time this theme has become unpopular.
But if the content innovation changes the background.
It may not be impossible to attract players to join the game.
Thinking of this, Chen Lin suddenly said: "I think this topic is good."
In an instant, the entire conference room fell silent.
Everyone turned their heads with surprise in their eyes.
"Mr. Chen, are you kidding me?"
Old Li said this in a daze, expressing the thoughts of the employees.
Only Old Song was silent, saying, "As for historical war themes, they have indeed been a bit sluggish in recent years, but if we can get rid of the shackles of stereotypes, maybe we can give it a try."
"Everyone knows this truth, but how easy is it to innovate? Boss Song, you know how many games of this kind have died in the past few years."
Old Li was a straightforward person and he immediately spoke out to refute.
"Yes, no matter how well-made it is, it can only take the battle to the extreme, and it still can't get rid of the defect of repetitive content."
"And there are only a few ways to fight for a low-level martial arts background."
"You can't just rely on the combat system to attract players, right?"
The employees were talking at once, expressing their opinions, and the entire conference room was as noisy as a vegetable market .
"Who says we can't rely on the combat system to retain players?"
Suddenly, Chen Lin's voice sounded again.
Everyone's expression froze and they all looked at him.
But I found that he was holding a black pen and quickly writing a few big words on the white paper.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice
That’s right!
If they want to innovate, they might as well do something big.
This game is the most suitable choice that Chen Lin came up with after screening the opinions of his employees.
Although it is not a true historical war game, the gameplay and background are very similar.
Anyway, this game itself is fictional history.
As long as you change the cultural background and those sensitive costumes with ethnic colors, you can still make use of it.
It took half a year to settle.
It's time to put something different out.
"Mr. Chen, what do you mean?"
Old Li asked hesitantly.
"It's just what you think." Chen Lin smiled slightly, "After listening to your opinions just now, I came up with a very good plan."
"What plan?"
Not to mention Lao Li and the employees, even Lao Song showed a curious expression.
"Let me show you this first."
Chen Lin didn't say much. He turned on the computer and projected the game plan, which had been mostly completed, onto the big screen.
Originally, everyone still had doubts in their hearts.
But when they saw the contents on the pages, their expressions gradually changed.
At the end, there was a continuous sound of inhaling.
"Too bold, this plan is too bold."
“Will anyone really play this?”
"If nothing else, there is definitely innovation."
"It's not just innovative, there's no stand-alone game like this on the market!"
Shocked voices rose one after another, echoing in the conference room.
Even those who have been in the industry for many years have no way of judging whether this game will work or not.
But one thing is certain.
Once this game is released, it will definitely become the focus of discussion among many players.
