My game is depressing worldwide.

After that dinner.

Yu Hai seemed to have become a different person; he would wander into the film set whenever he had nothing to do.

Saying that he's not ashamed to ask questions might be a bit of an exaggeration, but to put it simply, he's a question baby with absolutely no questions.

After Chen Xuan won the award and proved himself, it's clear that Yu Hai truly believes in the possibility of "live-action interactive film and game".

One minute they ask about the differences between traditional filming and the next they ask about the publicity and distribution model.

Although "The Invisible Guardian" is not a film and television project, in the eyes of the actors, assistant directors, and other crew members, it is a real investor and producer.

The production company's top executive personally supervised the project?!

In all my years in this industry, I've only seen this a handful of times.

Despite the immense pressure, progress was also incredibly rapid.

Because Shen Qingtu was working tirelessly throughout the entire process, the filming schedule was almost on par with the game's production schedule.

After the initial version was submitted for review and rating, the Game Industry Committee only raised a few suggestions for revision, and the game license was approved without any pressure.

How fast?

Some minor reshoots were completed, and filming officially wrapped.

The afternoon of the wrap party, at the hotel entrance.

A minivan was parked at the entrance, and the luggage had already been put on it.

Yu Hai was followed by crew members. He stepped forward and said with some regret, "Are you really not staying another day? We haven't properly entertained you yet."

Chen Xuan spread his hands: "The promotion for 'Invisible Guardian' is about to begin. We still need to communicate with the official store about the featured position. There are also many things to be done with the game. Time waits for no one."

On their return trip to Lincheng, Yu Xiaoming drove them all the way back, with the studio members getting into the car one by one.

Just then, a man rushed out from the crowd and shouted, "Director Chen!"

"Um?"

Chen Xuan turned around: "Xiaoman? What's wrong?"

"My character is named Zhuang Xiaoman, and my real name is Hu Ting!" She covered her mouth and smiled. "Director Chen, can we add each other on WeChat?"

Chen Xuan was about to refuse.

Hu Ting, still in her costume and makeup, bowed deeply.

"I know you're a game producer and don't have a deep involvement in the film and television industry. If you need models, hosts, or cosplayers for game promotion, I can help you for free as a way of repaying you for guiding my acting. Please trust my professionalism!"

Hu Ting and Chen Xuan both remember that Zhuang Xiaoman from the game is about 70-80% similar, mainly because of her cleverness and the air of a bad woman. This is the biggest reason why she was chosen as the actress to play Zhuang Xiaoman.

I heard that before she switched to making short dramas, she did cosplay and modeling, and had some good representative works. Later, she even played a background role in a serious drama, with lines and screen time, giving her the opportunity to showcase her acting skills.

It's no exaggeration to say that they have excellent professional skills.

The main reason was... I heard the word "free".

Chen Xuan nodded: "Okay, I won't hesitate to ask if you need me."

Yu Hai glared at the other actresses behind him.

What's wrong with you? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

If you don't seize this opportunity now, it will be too late.

Well, it's too late.

Yu Xiaoming had already driven his car toward the highway.

Yu Hai pondered for a while.

Although the game has only just begun its promotion, preparations for the adaptation of "Dumpling Family" can already begin.

"Sigh, I never thought I'd be taken advantage of like this one day."

...

...

Before we knew it, the game's release date arrived.

Compared to the first game release, the two members of the studio were much more stable in their emotions, especially Zhou Qian.

However, the practice of worshipping the God of Wealth has remained.

"May the God of Wealth bless us!! May 'The Invisible Guardian' be a huge success!!"

With a roar, Shen Qingtu trembled in fright, made a mistake while controlling the character, and was slapped to death by the BOSS.

"The Asylum Studio, truly lives up to its name." Shen Qingtu sighed and put away her phone. "We're not that broke this time, so are we really not going to do any extra promotion for the game?"

Chen Xuan was browsing the streaming platform and choosing a streamer to watch later when he heard this, he said, "Didn't I arrange for Hu Ting to impersonate Zhuang Xiaoman and stream herself playing games?"

"Is that enough?"

"Of course, don't underestimate players' love for breaking the fourth wall, you bastard."

During the chat, it was 10:00 AM.

Old times.

The game is officially unlocked!

Chen Xuan looked at the dazzling array of streamers in the gaming section and thought, "Hmm, you're the best."

Lao Wei talks about games!

The title of the live stream room was "The Invisible Guardian".

With the previous success of iwanna and Go to the Moon, the game generated significantly more buzz upon its release, and the number of viewers watching the live stream increased dramatically.

Old Wei was waiting in the live stream room early, repeatedly looking at the store interface.

"Live-action, interactive, movie-game? To be honest, I've played single-player games for so many years, and I've never seen anything like this before."

"But I must say... it's actually quite interesting."

The rise of the live streaming industry has benefited games, making it much easier to promote them.

Games like Kegala are among the few that don't even make a profit.

Leaving aside the policy risks that many remote areas pose to pornography.

The issue of creating a good program effect alone has stumped countless live streamers.

After all, the process of playing a game involves clicking the mouse, listening to sounds, and reading text.

Viewers who join the live stream halfway through will only be completely confused.

Therefore, a live-action interactive movie game with a serious storyline and gameplay similar to old-school text-based adventure games is quite attractive to Lao Wei.

It feels like watching a TV series, but you can control the fate of the characters in the series.

The comments section was also filled with interest.

[Real-person interaction, oh my god, it sounds so erotic]

[Is this playable?! Is it the kind of game I'm looking for?]

[These guys are hopeless! A country with such a developed adult film industry can't even make this kind of live-action interactive game.]

[I just want to know, when will Lao Wei break down?]

Seeing the question in the live chat, Lao Wei coughed lightly: "What are you talking about? The Madhouse Studio isn't really a bunch of lunatics. Their concept is probably wild, unconventional, and imaginative. Would they make games just to mess with people's minds?"

As he spoke, Lao Wei also clicked "Start Game".

[That's hard to say; who in their right mind would choose that name?]

[Hey streamer, could you try that again? You know, that one? What's so fun about pixel games?]

[Just wait and see, Chen Xuan has a slightly wicked sense of humor.]

Seeing these comments.

Chen Xuan was a little unhappy. What do you mean I have a bit of a perverse sense of humor?

Slander!

Old Wei didn't notice this comment; he was already praising it.

"Don't be so rude, guys. Live-action interactive movie game. It sounds cheap at first, but the loading screen's quality, the lighting and composition, it's actually pretty good."

The game begins with an introduction.

The male protagonist is named Xiao Tu. He returned from studying abroad and, with the help of his teacher, secretly became a Communist Party member. His purpose in returning to China was, on the surface, to become a traitor despised by everyone.

In reality, he secretly became an undercover agent, penetrating deep behind enemy lines to serve as an invisible guardian for the victory of the War of Resistance.

Upon returning to China, Xiao Tu's first stop was to visit his mentor, Fang Hanzhou.

"Hey, you know what, in this 4K quality, the men are handsome and the women are beautiful, it's quite pleasing to the eye, and the subject matter is interesting too." Old Wei stroked his chin with amusement. "Going with the flow, huh? That's something I'm good at!"

At Fang Hanzhou's home, Xiao Tu first met his childhood sweetheart Fang Min, who was also his mentor's daughter.

What was expected to be a touching scene of a long-awaited reunion turned into a major surprise for Lao Wei.

Fang Hanzhou questioned Xiao Tu about whether he had betrayed the student union cadres.

There are two options.

Remain silent; this is tacit agreement.

And, desperately trying to explain that it wasn't him.

"Do I even need to think about it? It's definitely not me!" Old Wei chose the second option without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, after making his choice, Xiao Tu was thrown out by the teacher along with his luggage!

Then, some time later, at the train station.

His mentor patted Xiao Tu on the shoulder: "Xiao Tu, it seems that undercover work is not suitable for you. Revolution does not necessarily require being on the front line. The border region also needs ambitious young people like you."

Then Xiao Tu boarded the train, and the words "The End" appeared in large letters on the screen.

Old Wei was silent for two seconds.

"ah?!"
