One had to know that Zhu Xiaoce and Ye Zhizhou had been inspired by Boss Pei at the meeting to come up with these two new ideas.
They might have been proud of their own ideas and did not think of such details at all.
However, Boss Pei immediately realized the problems with their ideas after listening to them talk about his ideas. He cleverly exchanged ideas so that their stories could reach the upper limit of their theories.
What was this called?
This was the finishing touch, this was called turning something rotten into something magical!
A true master could turn an excellent piece of work into a masterpiece through a seemingly simple, even ridiculous operation.
Yu Fei even felt that it was right for him to stay and continue working on this game.
It was a huge gain to be able to experience this personally!
What was the use of building a car behind closed doors? It was nothing more than writing more words. However, following Boss Pei, he could learn the most profound game design skills and experience so many excellent stories.
Yu Fei could not help but think that if he was eliminated one day and left Tengda Games, wouldn't he be invincible in writing online novels?
Therefore, he gave up on the idea of resigning and decided to develop the game "The Future You Chose" first.
If he could make such a masterpiece, it would be great!
Yu Fei began to write the plot after straightening out his thoughts.
This time, the Future You Chose was to produce a game and a movie at the same time. Tengda Games, Shang Yang Games, and Fei Huang Workspace were in charge of it together, each with their own duties.
Among them, Yu Fei was mainly in charge of the plot structure and providing support for the game and movie; Ye Zhizhou was in charge of the gameplay design; and Zhu Xiaoce was in charge of filming the movie.
Yu Fei had to straighten out the two stories first and perfect all the details. During this period, he had to maintain communication with Ye Zhizhou and Zhu Xiaoce.
The three of them worked together to ensure that the game and movie would develop in the direction that Boss Pei wanted.
In addition, Yu Fei would also write these two different stories in a book, which would be the official version of the Future You Chose.
His book was about cyberpunk to begin with. At the moment, it was only the beginning and not very in-depth. Thus, it was very easy to modify.
Yu Fei planned to completely integrate these two stories into his existing story structure and then combine it with Boss Pei's worldview of 'resisting Tengda'. In this way, there were a lot of themes to choose from.
Of course, after such integration, the entire structure of the story was different from traditional web novels.
But that didn't matter. Yu Fei felt that there was no need to make things too rigid and rigid. What's wrong with web novels? At the end of the day, web novel readers did not want a certain style, but a good story.
The rules of online literature creation were not unchangeable. They could be broken as long as the content was good enough.
Yu Fei was very confident about this. He quickly typed on the keyboard and felt that his work efficiency had increased again.
…
At the same time, Zhu Xiaoce was at Fei Huang Workspace, discussing Ye Zhizhou's idea with Huang Sibo.
Even though Huang Sibo was not as good as Zhu Xiaoce in terms of filming, he was a video game designer after all and had a deep understanding of games.
Of course, Huang Sibo understood the logic that Yu Fei could.
After Zhu Xiaoce carefully studied Ye Zhizhou's idea, he also discovered its essence.
The two of them understood Boss Pei's intentions after their discussion.
Zhu Xiaoce sighed and said, "Although my idea looks good, if you think about it carefully, you will feel that there are certain problems."
"At that time, my mind was filled with big scenes and war scenes. I thought about how the protagonist was going to fight against Tengda and become 'inhuman' step by step. I was a little trapped by my own thinking.
"Actually, on further thought, isn't this more suitable to be shown in the game?
"War scenes require a lot of special effects and funds. What's more, how can watching these war scenes in movies be as satisfying as personally controlling the protagonist in the game?
"The protagonist changing himself bit by bit might be very pale in the movie, but it can be very profound in the game. That's because after the protagonist changes himself, players can directly feel the increase in the protagonist's combat strength. It can also affect the game's combat style.
"Players would unknowingly indulge in this increase in strength. That's why when the protagonist finally falls into a daze on the rooftop, players would feel the same way and be interrogated.
"This is very much in line with Boss Pei's' breaking the fourth wall 'method.
"And the protagonist exploding into fireworks in the air … it would be difficult for players to feel the same way. Instead, it would be more appropriate to put it in the movie and let the audience watch it from the perspective of a bystander.
"Ye Zhizhou's idea is more suitable to be made into a movie.
"That's because the focus of this idea is not on the battle scenes but on the literary scenes. A small hooligan who grew up on the streets and did not have very strong combat strength until the end. The end of the story is not about leveling up or fighting, but about focusing on all kinds of characters.
"Compared to the big war scenes, the details of life in the cyberpunk world would be more suitable to be shown in the movie. That's because we can use exquisite settings to replace special effects. That's the advantage of movies over games.
"The movie would give the audience a sense of separation. They would not be completely immersed in the characters but would look at it from the perspective of a bystander.
"The audience would watch the protagonist climb up step by step from being a street hooligan. He would do anything to achieve his goals, but in the end, it would be for naught.
"In the game, players might not be able to accept it because they brought in the protagonist and thought that they had put in effort but gained nothing. However, in the movie, it would be easy for the audience to accept it from the perspective of a bystander. They would also feel a sense of pity from the perspective of a bystander.
"Therefore, Boss Pei's changes are simply a stroke of genius!"
"If we completely stick to our own ideas, then the games and movies we make might just be ordinary masterpieces."
"However, now that the two ideas have been swapped, it has the possibility of becoming a masterpiece!"
The more Zhu Xiaoce and Huang Sibo analyzed, the more they felt that Boss Pei was amazing.
What did it mean to turn stone into gold?
Working with Boss Pei on a project felt like climbing a tall mountain covered by layers of clouds and mist.
Every time they passed through a layer of clouds, they would think that they were closer to the peak. However, as they continued to climb and passed through a few more layers of clouds, they would find that they still could not see the peak. Naturally, they would feel how small they were.
Zhu Xiaoce immediately got busy and began to prepare for the movie.
It would be up to the game department to decide how the protagonist of the game would act, but Lu Zhiyao had to be the protagonist of the movie!
This time, he would have to take on several identities in the movie.
From a hooligan at the beginning, to a liaison in the middle, to a fierce gang leader, and finally to a wealthy businessman. Each identity was very challenging.
Moreover, there were many, many details in it.
For example, in the part of becoming a wealthy businessman, Lu Zhiyao had to play at least three roles: the original wealthy businessman, the protagonist who learned to become a wealthy businessman, and the protagonist who really became a wealthy businessman.
According to the setting of the plot, the original wealthy businessman and the protagonist's physique and appearance were similar. That was why the effect of impersonation could be achieved.
Therefore, Lu Zhiyao's appearance had to be changed through makeup and special effects so that the audience could clearly understand that the wealthy businessman and the protagonist were two completely different people. They just looked a little similar.
There were obvious differences between the three roles mentioned previously.
Originally, a rich businessman should be very natural. He was born rich and had received a good education. His every action had a unique temperament.
The protagonist who learned to become a wealthy businessman had to work hard to change his habits as a hooligan and correct his behavior and way of speaking.
The protagonist who finally became a wealthy businessman was a combination of the two. He had to look like the original wealthy businessman but not exactly the same. He had to retain some of the protagonist's behavior details. After all, no one could completely become another person through imitation.
Whether the subtle differences between these three roles could be perfectly displayed in front of the audience depended entirely on Lu Zhiyao's acting skills.
However, Zhu Xiaoce believed that Lu Zhiyao would be very happy to accept this challenge.
Fei Huang Workspace quickly entered a nervous and busy state of starting a big project.
They were busy until noon and got off work on time.
Both of them put down their work and prepared to have lunch first.
Tengda's employees all had a special ability. They could immediately stop what they were doing after work. The next time they went to work, they could quickly pick up what they were doing.
In other words, they could stop their work at any time without affecting their efficiency.
They had no choice. They were forced to do this.
They got off work on time because of Boss Pei's strict requirements. They could pick up the work perfectly after work to ensure that they completed their tasks and improved their efficiency.
At first, everyone was not very used to it. However, they gradually realized that their working abilities had improved greatly!
The reason was also very simple: in order to achieve this kind of work state, one must have a very clear plan of the content of one's work, so that one would have a clear idea of what to do next at a glance.
In the process of continuously cultivating this planning ability, everyone's working ability naturally improved.
This principle was similar to that of writing. Some writers relied heavily on inspiration and a stroke of genius. Once inspiration came, they had to write non-stop, because if they did something else, the inspiration might disappear. However, mature writers often knew how to produce steadily and continuously. The planned content could be disconnected and reconnected at any time.
The difference between the two was actually the difference in creative ability.
Huang Sibo opened the group of people in charge that he had not paid attention to for a long time while eating Fish-Catching Take-Out.
Like Yu Fei, Zhu Xiaoce, and the others, he had been seriously thinking about the gameplay of the game and the script of the movie. He did not pay much attention to the outside world.
However, Huang Sibo only realized that many things seemed to have happened recently when he saw the discussions of the people in charge.
The first thing was that the news of GOG and IOI's merger had caused a huge uproar.
The second thing was that many of Tengda's departments had been fiercely attacked. The situation was not optimistic!
