Pei Qian fell into a long silence after reading the post.
How the f * ck is that possible?
If Tomorrow is Beautiful had won the Palme d 'Or, I would have tolerated Ning's analysis.
Now that it had not won the Palme d 'Or, Ning's analysis was: it could have won, but there was no need for it?
As a passerby, I can't stand it anymore!
There was only one meaning between the lines of the post: Tomorrow is Beautiful had the ability to win the Palme d 'Or, but it had missed it because of some special factors!
He had to say that this kind of boasting was more effective than actually winning the Palme d 'Or.
It could be seen from the comments section of the post.
"I see! Thank you, big boss, for your explanation! "
"No wonder. It turns out that there are so many tricks to it."
"Indeed, the domestic audience would be able to understand the last Easter egg. It completely elevated the concept of the entire film. But in the eyes of the foreign audience, especially the judges, this will definitely make people very uncomfortable. "
"Maybe the judges would think that the last Easter egg completely destroyed the artistic value of the film."
"Yes, I can't say much. Those who understand will understand."
"However, Tomorrow is Beautiful still won the Jury Prize despite so many unfavorable conditions. Doesn't that show how well the film was filmed?"
"What a pity. If I had known, I would have cut out the second Easter egg at the end of the film!"
"I think that the main creative team might have realized this problem but did not do it."
"Why? Are they against the award? "
As the crowd discussed, another film critic who had watched countless films spoke up.
"I also think that the main creative team did it on purpose. It's not difficult to understand.
"First of all, the main creative team must have known what the film was trying to express and the meaning of the gun throwing Easter egg. Otherwise, why would they film it? "
"If they were clear about the meaning of the Easter egg, they would naturally know that this scene might not be accepted by the judges.
"It would have been easy to cut out the Easter egg, but they still did not do it.
"I think there are two reasons.
"First, they know that Cannes favors premieres, so they never thought they would win an award, let alone have a chance to fight for the Palme d 'Or. They just went there with the mentality of being bystanders. There's no need to please the judges."
"Secondly, they may be aware of this, but they insist on expressing their thoughts fully in the film."
"If we delete the last Easter egg, the movie will be missing something. Perhaps the main production team is so stubborn that they want to keep the movie intact. Even if it's a seemingly insignificant Easter egg, they are not willing to cut it. "
After reading this big shot's analysis, the onlookers came to a sudden realization.
So that was how it was!
That's right. How could the creator not understand something that even a film critic could analyze?
However, they still participated in the exhibition without any hesitation. This was equivalent to competing in someone else's territory and under someone else's rules. They didn't bother to cater to the judges and relied on their own strength to win second place.
Was this … the pride of an artist?
Netizens could not help but sigh. Indeed, heroes have always been young!
Those old artists in the film industry were respectable, but many old filmmakers took the initiative to cater to the taste of the judges in order to win awards at international film festivals. To a certain extent, they gave up a part of their own expression.
This was not only a tragedy for some filmmakers but also for the entire domestic film industry.
However, the entire main production team of Fei Huang Workspace, from the director to the scriptwriter, were all of the younger generation.
This feeling was like a young swordsman participating in the Sword Discourse Conference at the pinnacle of the martial arts world with pride and a treasure sword that he had painstakingly sharpened. Moreover, he knew how to please the judges, but he still insisted on being himself and used his strength to conquer everyone.
At this time, was there a difference between first and second place?
Although they did not win the Palme d 'Or, the meaning that the main production team brought to the domestic film industry was far greater than a Palme d' Or!
This post once again became popular and sparked heated discussions!
Then, for some reason, someone posted the ratings on various major websites.
"The foreign film database ratings have been released yesterday. Some people might think that this score is not high, but according to the ratings on this website, there are very few films that have scored more than nine points in the entire history of the film industry. It has successfully entered the Top 250 of the database!"
"If we look at this rating in terms of percentage, we have to pull out some domestic websites to flog the corpses."
"Do you still remember that Tomorrow is Beautiful's ratings on many websites had fallen below 8.5? It was especially funny in an environment where a good domestic film could easily score more than 9.5."
"As everyone can see, the rating on TPDb has been hovering around 9.1 from beginning to end. There might be slight fluctuations, but it has always been as stable as an old dog!"
"I think that a low score does not mean that the film is strict. Everyone does not have to keep staring at the ratings on foreign websites. After all, Tomorrow is Beautiful was created by our countrymen. Some of the content that it wants to express can only be understood by our countrymen. "
"I hope that this film can make a good start so that domestically-produced films do not have to suck up to international film festivals. Instead, they can focus on telling the stories of our countrymen!"
"I would like to appeal to everyone to register an account on TPDb and go to Aili Island to watch Tomorrow is Beautiful again. Let us remember this great, memorable day!"
…
After reading the netizens' comments, Pei Qian quietly closed the webpage.
Alright, that's it. I'll give up resisting.
Pei Qian realized that the netizens were becoming more and more ridiculous. They would always come up with new tricks every once in a while.
What's more, he did not expect the topic to be redirected to TPDb and Tomorrow is Beautiful's online version.
Pei Qian did not know how many people would go to Aili Island to buy Tomorrow is Beautiful this time. He also did not know how many people would add 'a hundred million more times', 'a treasure of the site', and 'the world is winding down' to the bullet screen comments at the beginning of the movie.
Pei Qian could almost see the scene when he met Zhu Xiaoce again.
Zhu Xiaoce would definitely be filled with excitement as he rushed over and said, "Boss Pei! Your decision to sign a sharing contract with Aili Island was a wise and correct decision! "
Just thinking about it was enough to make one feel extremely depressed.
This is … really depressing …
…
…
May 26, Thursday.
In a cafe near Handong University, He An's second lesson with 'Ma Yang' had officially begun.
Pei Qian had not been sleeping well for the past two days because of Tomorrow is Beautiful.
However, in order to ensure the learning effect of today's lesson, Pei Qian had gone to bed early yesterday. He had woken up naturally today, allowing his mental state to recover from the blow.
Before the lecture, Pei Qian sneakily glanced at the title of the textbook for this lesson.
Lesson Two of Success Stories: Use Foresight and Foresight to Grasp the Development of the Industry!
Pei Qian could not help but be elated.
He was finally not going to talk about Tengda's case anymore!
The content of the previous lecture was actually quite good. It mainly talked about the game's production and publicity. It was actually an unbreakable whole. Choosing the corresponding publicity method according to the game's genre would achieve the best effect.
The only fly in the ointment was that there were too many positive cases of Tengda Games' publicity. Pei Qian felt like salt had been poured on his wound.
Still, he had gained something. Pei Qian planned to use the knowledge that he had learned when Struggle was released.
False publicity was unlikely since the System would not allow it. However, he could at least use misplaced publicity.
Sometimes, telling a part of the truth could achieve better results than telling a lie.
All in all, the previous lecture had been very helpful and meaningful. Pei Qian's tuition fees had not been in vain.
And this course seemed to be even more reliable.
Grasp the Development of the Industry? It sounded like it was full of useful information!
He An took a sip of coffee and said unhurriedly, "What we talked about in the last lesson was the foundation of the basics. It was to establish the basic concept of game design and define its genre. Every step after that was strictly in accordance with the relevant rules."
"Today, I'm going to talk about the basics as well. However, it's one level higher than the previous ones. To put it simply, there are so many types of games out there. Which one should I choose? "
"Choosing the right genre is actually half the battle.
"Here, I want to give you an example …"
Pei Qian's heart tensed up instantly. Could it be Tengda's example again?
Let me go, ball ball ball!
He An paused for a moment and said, "MMORPG."
Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Tengda had never made an MMORPG before. That's great!
It looks like I won't have to be whipped today!
He straightened his back a little in an instant.
He An did not notice the rich inner drama of 'Ma Yang' as he continued speaking. "For a long time in the past, MMORPGs were considered the ultimate form of games. There was sufficient theoretical support for this. That was because such large-scale role-playing online games could build a virtual world for players, provide enough rich content, and have great expansibility.
"Many gamers have thought about this question before. What game could beat Fantasy World? At that time, everyone came to the conclusion that they could only rely on another, better MMORPG to beat Fantasy World.
"Yet …
"The latest developments in the game industry have proven that this view was wrong. That's because an MMORPG that had a chance of beating Fantasy World had not appeared. However, a game genre that had a chance of beating MMORPGs had appeared.
"That's right. That's the most popular PvP games in the country and even the world: GOG and IOI!"
Pei Qian: "…"
He had nothing to live for.
So, MMORPGs were just a prelude. In the end, they still came back to this topic!
He An noticed 'Ma Yang's' abnormality and asked curiously, "Boss Ma, is there a problem?"
Pei Qian forced a smile. "No, nothing. Does this have anything to do with today's lesson? "
He An nodded. "Of course it has something to do with it! I've emphasized that choosing the right genre is half the battle. Top game designers can't use a new MMORPG to beat Fantasy World, but they can use a new game genre to beat MMORPGs!
"Obviously, that's a keen sense of smell!
"Think about it. If other top-tier game designers were still fighting to the death with MMORPGs, you would be able to observe IOI's huge prospects. You would be one step ahead of others, establish your advantage, and seize the market … it would be like a butterfly flapping its wings. It might seem like a step away, but in the end, it would be a world of difference!
"Tengda invested in IOI before other game manufacturers and then developed GOG. Obviously, it's trying to be a butterfly that's flapping its wings hard. Boss Ma, you're a senior executive in Tengda's investment department. You should have a deeper understanding of this than I do, right? "
He An smiled. He seemed to think that 'Boss Ma's' personal experience would give him more inspiration and help him better understand the lesson.
Pei Qian was speechless.
At the same time, he was conflicted.
How should I tell Teacher He that Ma Yang was the one who invested in this project, and that I'm not the real Ma Yang? What's more, even the real Ma Yang did not invest in this project because of his keen sense of smell, but purely on a whim …
Forget it. Straightening out this relationship alone was enough to give Pei Qian a headache. He probably would not be able to explain it.
Pei Qian could only nod silently, expressing his agreement with He An's words. At the same time, he took the opportunity to ask questions and change the topic.
"So, Teacher He, according to this theory, does it mean that choosing a game genre that is on its last legs is almost destined to fail?"
He An pondered for a moment. "There are no absolutes in this world.
"Many retro games, even mosaic style games, would still be favored by many players as long as the content is rich enough and the gameplay is novel enough. "After all, there are too many players in the world. As long as you find the right target group of players, a small group of players would be able to support a game project.
"However … there's no problem with the theory that you're talking about.
"The more declining a game genre is, the fewer the number of players who like it. If the game itself happens to have a huge investment at this time, the risk of failure would be greatly increased.
"There's even a high chance that we would lose everything."
Pei Qian's eyes lit up when he heard that.
Very good. There are more strange ways to incur losses!
Pei Qian asked, "Teacher He, if I were to spend a huge amount of money to create a real-time strategy game at this point in time … what would happen?"
He An smiled slightly. "Why don't you transfer the money to me then? At least I'll thank you. Or maybe you can waste the money. At least I'll be able to hear the sound of it. "
A smile appeared on Pei Qian's face.
Who said that this lesson was useless?
Wouldn't he have a plan for the game he was going to develop next cycle?!
Teacher He, you're really my guiding light!
