Chapter 394 0393: Domestic light?
Django has written theme songs for others not once or twice, from "Sweet and Sour Is Me" at the very beginning to "Stupid Kid" recently, but most of them are film and television dramas and variety shows. This is the first time for games.

"League of Legends" is a popular game all over the world, and this year's World Championship is held in Hangzhou, which attracts even more attention. After all, there are many players in Huaguo.

The theme song composed by Jiang Ge and sung by Xu Chenyi has aroused discussions in various circles.

Game circle:
"The selection is quite good. Xu Chenyi is an old player of "League of Legends", and he often posts his achievements on Weibo."

"Don't worry about him, it's mainly Django. If you don't understand this game at all, it's hard to resonate with the songs you write."

"Yeah, the English theme songs of the previous dozen or so editions were very popular. If it's too ugly, it's a shame."

……

Music circle:
"Another collaboration that breaks the circle, but the game songs are not so easy to write. It needs to be rendered with the atmosphere of the game to make the story stand out and entertain the public."

"Indeed, the lyrics of an excellent game theme song should be fluent, easy to understand, strongly highlight the core theme of the game, and have a strong provocative effect."

"The aesthetics of the melody is not absolute. It will change with the times. The composition of game songs should take into account the aesthetics of the target players of the current game, so you must have a certain understanding of the game."

……

Media Circle:
"Jiang Ge's songs + anime, + movies, + TV dramas, + variety shows are all '1+1>2', so can this + game continue this myth?"

"In the first half of the year, six high-quality songs have been released: "The Road Follows the Boundless", "I Like You", "Song of the Sunset", "Kyushu Tong", "Blue and White Porcelain", and "Stupid Child". Jiang Ge can still maintain this Are you in good shape?"

"It is rumored that the customization fee for this theme song exceeded 2000 million. Is it worth the money, or is it worth the money?"

……

Fan Circle:
"The combination of Jiang Dong and Chen Yi, even if you think about it with your feet, you know that this theme song can't be bad."

"They are all talking about whether they understand the game or not. How did you know that Director Jiang doesn't know "League of Legends"?"

"Even if you haven't played it before, you can use Baidu to get to know a game very quickly. There are background stories and biographies."

……

On the Internet, there are two different voices, one is doubts from the outside world, and the other is support from fans.

The "League of Legends" competition team is not panicked at all, and even looks forward to the expressions on everyone's faces when this song is played in the arena.

Django didn't panic anymore. It is impossible for this song "The Lonely Brave" to be scolded. He has this confidence.

Under this high heat, the second video of the stand-alone game "Legend of Sword and Fairy" was released. This time it is a 25-minute UE5 real machine test collection.

Compared with the scenery and character model display of the version a year ago, this time the actual machine test is more like a display video of action and technology.

In just a few hours, the video surpassed tens of millions of views, and directly won the No. 1 category of Station B, Douyin, and Weibo.

"A game video is like watching a movie."

"I would like to advise the production team to be honest, and if you want to release it, you can show the real machine demonstration. What does it mean to hire someone to go to the scenic spot to shoot the video!"

"We have 960 million square kilometers, and there are countless scenic spots to explore. 0:25 seconds, Fangyan Scenic Area of ​​Yongkang City; 0:33 seconds, Xiandu Scenic Area of ​​LS City; 0:41 seconds, 0:50 JH City Shouxian Valley Scenic Area; 0:59 seconds, the ancient city of Phoenix in western Hunan."

"How outrageous is this video? When I went to the school's public toilet to squat, I heard a person watching it when I went in. After squatting halfway, the person left after finishing his work, and then a person came in and made the sound again, and the speaker was turned up. "

"No one refuted 'Light of Domestic Games'? High-quality cultural output!"

"I'm really willing to invest money, using the Unreal 5 engine, it's so powerful!"

"I am an employee of a certain game studio. I would like to report the current situation to everyone. I just have no intention of working. All the staff are watching "Legend of Sword and Fairy"."

"Actually, we have a lot of excellent teams. For various reasons, we did not stick to our original dream. Here, we would like to give Futian Games a big praise!"

"I practice martial arts, and I fell in love with this game at first glance. It's not a matter of reason, just a detail. The way Li Xiaoyao holds the sword, the sword body is attached to the outside of the forearm, the thumb of the right hand is bent to form a palm, and the heel of the palm is attached to the inside of the left wrist. , palms pointing upwards, arms rounded, bent flat in front of the body, wrists and shoulders level."

"Copied from the official blog of Futian Games [Question: What is the payment mode of "Legend of Sword and Fairy"? Answer: The classic stand-alone payment mode with a one-time buyout system. In the future, the release of DLC and non-value-oriented in-app purchases will not be ruled out. Content.], just based on this sentence, you must buy it!"

……

Overnight, the live demonstration video of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" became popular all over the Internet.

It's just a game, why is it so popular?

In fact, "Legend of Sword and Fairy" currently only has a simple promotional video and a demonstration video of the actual machine. The reason why it became popular is of course because of the explosion of suppressed emotions in the hearts of the majority of domestic players.

Speaking of the theme of Xianxia, ​​it has really been used badly by domestic game manufacturers. Xianxia-themed games are basically everywhere in China, and even many friends have already suffered from Ptsd. Seeing this It’s already nauseating to play similar games, and the krypton gold games in China are really like the crucian carp that crosses the river, almost writing “recharge money quickly” on the face, but it is difficult for the team that really seriously polishes the quality of the game Get ahead.

However, after the release of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy" promotional video and the actual machine demonstration video, everything is different. Whether it is from the environment rendering or the action feedback, it is undoubtedly close to the quality of overseas 3A masterpieces. up.

And domestic game players really need a truly excellent domestic game, and the deformed domestic game market that has been dry for too long really needs such a rain to nourish it.

Of course, on the other hand, it is because the TV series "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has laid a solid foundation of popularity. It not only carried the banner of domestic fairy tale dramas, created a miracle of ratings, but also became the fairy tale drama in the minds of many people. First.

"The timing of your cooperation with the "League of Legends" S game is just right, which has set off a wave of game discussions." Chen Qian looked at the high popularity and smiled.

"These are secondary. The main reason is that the game is well done. After so many years of training, domestic game players are no longer so easy to deceive." It will backfire and become a laughing stock in the end.

"Not counting the publicity, soundtrack, dubbing, etc., the cost of producing this piece alone is 3.5 million, can't it be good." Chen Qian shook his head and sighed, saying: "A 3A masterpiece really burns money, money is like water. The same went out in a hurry, if the price was 199 yuan, it would have to sell 200 million copies to return the cost."

Jiang Ge said confidently: "Don't worry, it's not a problem to add zero to the sales volume. In terms of pricing, you can divide it into several grades according to the progress of plot unlocking and character unlocking, such as normal version, deluxe version, full version, to achieve accurate coverage. Users of all consumption levels."

Chen Gan nodded and said, "That's how it was done."

Django asked again: "Have you started working on "Swordsman"?"

Chen Qian replied: "The project has already been established. Wait for "Legend of Sword and Fairy" to be on the game exhibition and open the internal beta to earn a wave of popularity before attracting investment."

Both quality and efficiency are needed. There is no other way but to burn money. It must attract external investment. First, it can share risks, and second, it can alleviate the problem of capital chain tension.

Django thinks it is right to do so. After all, games are different from movies and TV dramas. It doesn’t mean that the graphics, mannequins, action designs, etc. are good enough to be fun.

Chen Gan narrowed his eyes suddenly, and said, "You've already written songs for "League of Legends", wouldn't it make sense if you don't write a few songs for your own game?"

Django smiled, and said, "2500 million for one song."

Chen Gan raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and said: "Others are worth a thousand dollars, but you are worth tens of thousands of dollars a word."

Django smiled and said, "I happen to have one song and two pieces of music in hand, so let's invest in the shares at a commercial price."

Chen Gan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Really?"

Django nodded.

[Superstar Value] Enough, you can use it casually, so you can exchange it for the pure music "Butterfly Love" in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", the song "Worship of Sword and Fairy" in "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", "Worship of Sword and Fairy" The pure music "Back to the Dreaming Fairy" of "Legend of Heroes 4".

Chen Gan said cheerfully: "With the blessing of your soundtrack, it's like a tiger with wings."

The matter of the game is basically settled, and when the time comes to release it, he said again: "By the way, is the National Day holiday?"

Django shook his head and said, "I won't release it this time. There are too many people on the production team, and it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars a day."

Chen Gan said helplessly: "Okay, I wanted to ask you and Ling Wei to go to the game exhibition together."

Django shrugged, "No way."

Chen Qian said again: "Then "A Chinese Ghost Story" still has a premiere ceremony?"

Django explained: "Well, it's just in Shanghai. It's too troublesome to go back and forth. I won't be there."

"Okay." Chen Gan wanted to go, because he could watch it in advance. If he didn't attend, there was no need to go. He would watch it after the official release at night, so he said, "I happen to be talking to the project here. When the time comes, I will call Shang Pianpian, you call Shang Ling Wei, and go to the cinema to watch "A Chinese Ghost Story" together?"

Django nodded and said, "Yes, I arranged to shoot a daytime scene that day."

He agreed to watch it with Zhou Lingwei, Duo Chen Gan and Chu Pianpian are also OK.

Hengdian Film and Television City, as the largest film and television shooting base in Huaguo and even in the world, is the easiest scenic spot to meet "stars". There are many star fans, proxy shooters and entertainment reporters staying here.

According to statistics, this year, 57 film crews were filming here at the same time, 66 film crews were intensively preparing here, and over [-] "horizontal drift" performed non-stop. The hotel was full, the scenic spot was hot, and the studio was filming.

Among them, the crew of "Langya Bang" attracted the most attention, but Jiang Ge recruited many security guards to guard the entrances and exits of Jingyuan, so as to prevent being spoiled by the filming.

There are many actors this time, including many top stars, as well as veteran actors with high status in the industry. It is not easy to use these people.

"This guide rail is crooked, come a few people to move it..."

……

"The venue has been cleared, and the props group can come in and set up..."

……

"The sound engineer came to test the radio effect..."

……

From time to time, various orders sounded on the set. In the past, Jiang Ge personally issued them, but now they are handed over to the assistant director. First, it can increase actual combat experience, and second, it doesn’t need to be so tiring.

"I can finally see Jiang Dong's director level with my own eyes." In a corner of the set, several actors were chatting together. The one who was talking was Zhang Tiegang, the actor of "Liang Wang", who just joined the group today.

"Teacher Tie Gang, haven't you worked with Director Jiang before?" Yu Qingqing, who played the role of Concubine Jing, also entered the group today.

"That's different. Last time it was a song, but this time it's a movie." Zhang Tiegang had a very pleasant cooperation with Django in the fourth season of "National Treasure", so this time Django invited him to a TV series, and it happened to be his best performance. He is good at the role of emperor, so he agreed without thinking about it.

Gu Yao, who played the role of the eldest princess of Liyang, did not participate in this topic, but said in her heart: Later, Director Jiang must have surprised you from ear to ear.

The sun sank to the horizon, the sky was getting dark, and the evening wind was blowing.

"Jiang Dong..." Assistant director Du Yue ran over and said out of breath, "The venue, equipment, and actors are all in place. Do you want to officially start filming?"

Django nodded, then sat down in front of the monitor.

Tonight is going to be filming a classic drama [Xiao Jingrui's Birthday Party]. There are many characters appearing on the stage, each with their own goals, and they get together.

First, there was the swordsmanship battle between Tianquan and Yeyun. In order to protect Xie Yu, Zhuo Dingfeng was willing to be injured by Yue Xiuze's sword. ", Xiao Jingrui's life experience was revealed to the world; later, Gong Yu revealed the secret that his father had killed the Zhuo family's child for Xie Yu, and the Xie Zhuo family completely turned against each other. The seizure of power and the promotion of the Jiangzuo League fueled the flames, and various conflicts of interest were intricate.

The difficult part of this scene is that the story needs to be unfolded step by step, compact and not messy, and all details must be clearly explained, and even the personality characteristics of each character must be well interpreted in this scene.

"The lighting crew is ready!"

"Sound system ready!"

"The camera crew is ready!"

……

The voices of each group came from the intercom, and the clapper board operator also appeared in front of the camera. After receiving Django’s signal, he tapped the board and said: "Scene eight, first shot, action!"

Zhang Tiegang and Yu Qingqing, who have worked in the entertainment industry for decades, all turned their eyes to the venue, wanting to see for themselves, to see for themselves how much Jiang Ge's "real" director level is.

"Crack, change the shooting method for this shot, use one shot to the end, and the No. [-] camera shoots from the front to capture the facial expressions of the actors."

Not long after the filming started, Django's voice came.
