Entertainment: Is this how you play music?!

Chapter 319: A Shocking Experience from Ludwig!

Judging from the title, they seem to be paid trolls or haters.

But judging from the signature, it seems to be an abstract fan.

It's just that work is work, and whether a person likes it or not is another matter.

Anyway, Li Can's fans are a bit different from other celebrities' fans.

I don't have any extreme aversion to this kind of entertainment information; I mostly just enjoy it for fun, and it might even be more abstract.

Li Can simply ignored him.

This has created a unique ecological environment.

即.
If the idol isn't popular, the fans will just have fun, and the online trolls will make money.

As long as you add anti-counterfeiting features and the report has a slightly abstract feel, it's very likely that Li Can's fans will not only not be angry, but will also ask you things like, "Hey bro, where are you eating? Need help?"

The unique ecological environment left genuine haters who stumbled upon it feeling lost. They originally thought everyone was a Li hater, but they never expected that everyone around them was a serious, abstract person.

[Saying that composing music is more challenging? Pshaw, he just doesn't want to write lyrics!]

Who says film and television scores are simpler than game scores?! You can design the performance of game characters, but can you do that for film?! Don't you have to consider whether the background music paired with awkward acting will break the immersion?! (doge.jpg)

I don't know, they all seem about the same. I think it's mainly because Li Can likes playing games and doesn't like watching dramas.

I'm so eager to see Lao Li's new work! I don't care about anything else, when are we finally going to see it?

With so many works, they're bound to come up with something new and interesting. I'm looking forward to learning some crazy new tricks.

Stop sending out these leaked stories, just bring them out already!

The fans are very anxious.

I don't know.

Li Can himself was even more anxious.

When arranging the work, looking at the smooth curve of the plan that would last for two or three years, I was a little anxious and stomped my feet.

When will this end?

Who will take responsibility for my youth?!

Right there in the studio, Li Can stretched after finishing chord progressions and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"They're making the game so slowly, but I can't rush them. Quality has to be the priority, no matter how high or low the quality."

I heard this.

Chen Gang and Zhao Ze, who had been exploited like cattle, instantly turned pale.

Responsible for the most tedious part of music production: balancing parameters.

The parameters were modified again and again, reviewed by Li Can, and then sent back for re-screening.

nausea!

"That's enough. Don't you have any idea how fast you can go?"

"Exactly, it's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering."

Chen Gang and Zhao Ze exchanged a glance, their faces darkening as they shook their heads repeatedly.

Sony's Eternal Origin is certainly not slow to develop, but Black Monkey's production speed is even faster than Sony's.

One is a large-scale game project, highlighted.

One was that everyone was holding their breath.

Both in terms of speed and production quality, it is absolutely amazing in the industry.

But this speed is clearly not keeping up with the light speed at which the soundtrack is completed.

This put a lot of pressure on the production team.

"Fortunately, the DLC for Blood Hunter will be released tomorrow, so I can wait for player reviews and feedback, which will make things less boring."

Li Can breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Chen Gang and Zhao Ze.

"Tomorrow's a holiday, I'll play games and browse forums for reviews!"

"Good good!"

"That's what you said!"

Chen Gang and Zhao Ze immediately became excited.

Especially Chen Gang.

I must play games during my vacation! Catch up on anime! Watch live streams! Watch live streams!
"Brother Can, what have Brother Feng and Sister Jiayin been up to these past few days? I saw them talking mysteriously a while ago, and now it's been several days since I last saw them."

Tomorrow is a holiday.

But Chen Gang felt that he was now on vacation.

They stopped working and started chatting.

“I’ve noticed that Winnie hasn’t come around much these past few days; she just comes to hand in some documents.”

"The young couple went on their honeymoon."

Li Can glanced at Chen Gang, whose expression was gradually freezing, and snorted twice before speaking.

"Don't look at me like that. I'd give you a honeymoon if you had a boyfriend, paid and on the company's dime. But you're such a disappointment. You watch female streamers all day long, and when it comes to real-life situations, you say distance makes you fantasize. What kind of vacation would I give you? A paid vacation to check up on female streamers?"

"It's not impossible."

Chen Gang nodded seriously.

Not to mention Li Can, even Zhao Ze couldn't hold back and quietly moved a little further away from Chen Gang.

".OK."

Li Can nodded silently.

Thinking to himself, he would go through Xingmei Entertainment's channels to give Chen Gang a vacation.

Although he could arrange things on a whim, Li Can wanted the entire Xingmei to know that Chen Gang had been granted a "paid leave to check on the female anchors" for more than ten days.

Don't ask why it took so long; the answer is that I fainted and was immediately transferred to sick leave.

“Winnie has a lot of academic work to deal with, and I also need to support her in designing her post-graduation portfolio, at least for her own classical music album.”

Li Can's words immediately startled Chen Gang and Zhao Ze.

"Damn, I forgot Winnie majored in classical guitar!"

"Can a guitar without electricity really be called a guitar?!"

The two of them immediately started laughing.

Time passed by little by little.

Li Can wasn't in a hurry to push forward with the work in the short time available. Seeing that the two were in high spirits, he gave them an early holiday.

Let's go out for a meal together, then go back and get a good night's sleep.

The next day, they went to the studio together.

The studio computers won't open music software today.

The high-end CPUs and memory modules prepared for music production are overkill, and the expensive graphics cards that were added as extras can finally have their fans running today.

Just like many gamers.

On this very day.

I took leave in advance, prepared some snacks and drinks, and sat in front of the computer refreshed. I checked the network and the game save file, waiting for the moment when the Blood Hunter DLC was released so I could jump right in and play it.

Because everyone pre-ordered the new content.

You can start downloading the moment it unlocks.

Finally, the time came.

In many player groups, there were messages like "I'm so envious, you're still at work" and "Don't give away any spoilers, I'm on a business trip."

Well-prepared players can jump right in.

Li Can's studio is connected to the company's proprietary 10 Gigabit network.

Unlike homes, large entertainment companies have very high requirements for network bandwidth. Ten gigabit speeds are not uncommon, and if cloud services or large-scale data operations are needed, even higher speeds are required.

No matter how fast the internet speed is.

Li Can, Chen Gang, and Zhao Ze, with three computers, echoed the sentiments of the majority of gamers.

"Slow internet connection, move it!"

"Hey, can this progress bar go any faster?"

"I need it urgently!"

urgent.

on this day.

This became the shared sentiment among players who were eagerly anticipating the Blood Hunters DLC.

Li Zhifeng, the principal violinist of the Xia Guo Philharmonic Orchestra, also didn't go to work today.

Sitting in front of the computer, ready to start playing at any time.

However, unlike other players who focus more on the new gameplay of the game's DLC, Li Zhifeng pays more attention to this novel aesthetic and the emotional impact of Li Can's game music during actual gameplay.

The clip from "The Holy Sword Ludwig" that appeared in the promotional video was already something Li Zhifeng had heard countless times.

Based on the analysis of the musical form, Li Zhifeng has many ideas that are eagerly awaiting verification.

After the game has finished downloading.

Li Zhifeng then charged straight in.

But it's a pity.

Because I don't play games much and am a bit older, my progress in clearing stages is quite slow. I was startled and jumped around by the sudden jumps as I walked by.

The dark atmosphere of the game significantly increased my heart rate.

Halfway there, they were devoured by wolves and injured by pigs.

A withered, humanoid creature with glowing eyes screamed as it stabbed him in the heart with a knife.

It complements various details throughout the game.

Li Zhifeng has somewhat forgotten his original purpose for playing games.

Forget about music.

All I want to know is what the church went through in the past, and all I want to do is kill this shitty boss in front of me.

Stealing corpses, dissecting them, the original sin of knowledge.

The darkness of human nature is revealed through twisted, monstrous forms.

The echoing strange sounds were like the whispers of ancient gods, and the occasional mournful wails in the quiet space spoke of the unknown distortions.

In various gaming groups, rows and rows of comments expressing "awesome" have begun to appear.

at last.

After a hard-fought battle.

Like other players, Li Zhifeng progressed through the map to the point before Ludwig's boss room.

When playing a game for the first time, nobody knows what the monsters look like or who they are.

Before entering the boss's room, Li Zhifeng was still immersed in the image of Ludwig. Through the previous levels, Li Zhifeng knew that he was a very kind and powerful knight who possessed the most beautiful moonlight.

Each scene and fragment of text seems to pave the way for Ludwig's glory and honor.

Walking along the narrow, dark path, the ground was covered with filth, severed limbs, and blood.

Not only did they not know who was in front of them, they didn't even know that the boss was in front of them.

Until they reached the source of the blood.

The gloomy area was very spacious.

The shriveled corpses were piled up in the corners all around.

The narrow path suddenly opened up.

Before Li Zhifeng could realize that there must be a boss in the open area, the opening cutscene was triggered.

A "person" covered in blood, like a withered corpse outside, is crawling and calling for help, its voice filled with despair and fear.

As the camera zooms out...

A multi-limbed monster with half a horse's face and vaguely visible human eyes rose up.

The extra mouth, or rather the mouthparts, on the shoulder were wriggling with square-shaped bony teeth arranged inside.

A chilling roar erupted.

Li Zhifeng's scalp was just starting to tingle, but the next second something even more unsettling happened.

Just after getting a general idea of ​​what the monster was like.

The person who asked for help said something that caused Li Zhifeng's emotions to explode instantly.

Ah, the cursed Ludwig is coming.

"Fuck!"

Li Zhifeng emitted a sharp, explosive sound.

The image of Ludwig before us is the complete opposite of the one portrayed before!
"Ah! Damn it!"

next second.

Ludwig the Beast charged forward, instantly sending Li Zhifeng's game character flying. His wild action brought unparalleled impact.

Upon first seeing the killing intent, Li Zhifeng's pupils dilated in shock, and he remained motionless for a long time.

That's incredibly impactful.

A powerful and kind warrior, wielding a beautiful moonlight greatsword, is arguably one of the most beautiful images in medieval-themed Western fantasy works.

All expectations were shattered on the day they met in person after meeting online.

A rapidly beating heart, a tingling scalp.

Let Li Zhifeng continue the challenge.

I can't wait to find out what happened.

So, through our efforts...

Ludwig's period ended in a frenzy, like a twisted precious object.

After advancing to the second stage, another cutscene plays.

The mad beast, devoid of reason, was now awakened within the human heart of a knight.

Guided by the moonlight.

The twisted beast looked at the Moonlight Greatsword, and spoke as if filled with nostalgia and reason.

"So, you've always been with me."

Attacking the wild and unpredictable beasts, he then raised his moonsword as if in a knightly salute.

In the CG, the background music seamlessly transitions into the second stage.

I heard that very familiar background music playing in the promotional video.

The hymn ended, and so did the CG.

As the majestic, heavy copper pipes, like the footsteps of warriors, advanced, Ludwig launched his attack.

The methodical and rhythmic moves, with their elegant style, seem to be easier to deal with than the first phase.

That was human swordsmanship, not the tearing and biting of a wild beast.

As the greatsword emitted a bright light, the moon's light waves rushed straight towards him.

Li Zhifeng's mind was filled with the magnificent string music that rose up after the brass.

It seemed to be telling the story of the knight's glory.

Almost beaten to death.

But Li Zhifeng felt a strange sense of shock and relief.

It felt as if he had taken on the mission of ending Ludwig's twisted ways and restoring the glory of the moonlight to this knight.

The final duel is underway.

When the frenzied yet orderly female screams and chants rang out in turn, it was as if the tragic and glorious song of the knights was being played.

From the moment I stepped into the alley.

From the trailers, the information revealed, the visuals, the scenes, the art direction, and the boss's action design, everything together creates a strong contrast and impact, bringing this distorted aesthetic to its fullest potential!

They narrowly lost in the second stage.

But Li Zhifeng only felt much better.

Take a deep breath and launch the challenge again with renewed fighting spirit.

After a fierce battle.

They finally defeated Ludwig.

At that moment, all the emotions erupted.

Li Zhifeng let out a deep breath, feeling his heart pounding violently.

That's not just because of winning the game.

It is also because of its highly impactful aesthetic and emotional expression.

This sense of interaction made Li Zhifeng understand almost instantly why Li Can was pursuing game music.

Such an artistic experience is often more impactful than one from a third-person perspective.

"Really are"

The shock in Li Zhifeng's heart lasted for a long time.

This boss experience is crafted in every aspect, from the very beginning to the end.

Indispensable.

Until the end.

Relying on the boss battle music.

The design is aligned with the boss's gradual transformation from savage to dashing.

All the previous efforts and hints were completely sublimated at this moment, and emotions erupted completely.

Art achieved a complete closed loop at this moment.

Instead of continuing to progress through the levels, Li Zhifeng opened the online forum and game groups.

What I saw were unanimous, amazing positive reviews.

I'm so moved, it's breathtaking! Ludwig!

You're something else! Every step you take is beyond my expectations.

[If you only listen to this piece, it's just okay, but if it appears in a game, it's practically divine!]

[Li Can should just make music for games from now on, that's fucking amazing!]
