This game is awesome

Director An nodded mechanically.

Gu Qingshi turned around and gave Li Xiaomeng some water, and her strength recovered a little.

"Tired?"

"Boss, if you don't need your eyes... you can donate them..." Li Xiaomeng's breath was so thin that he looked half dead.

"catch my breath."

Li Xiaomeng stuck out her tongue, "Ha~ah~"

Several young female staff members who were watching the scene suddenly blushed.

Gu Qingshi was speechless, "I told you to breathe normally, don't breathe like the ones in the comics."

"Ha~ha~"

It was much better this time, and Gu Qingshi was very satisfied.

"Just follow this from now on. Let the teachers taste it first."

The dubbing teachers nearby were amazed.

This training method is really effective. The little girl next to me screamed until she was hoarse, and then she was shot and her breath was barely alive, just like a soldier on the battlefield facing death.

"I only thought Mr. Gu was good at games, but I didn't expect he also had unique insights into dubbing. That's amazing."

"A master of one skill leads to a master of many. For people in this field, it is always good to have many skills."

"That little girl's scream of Sanita was really powerful just now!"

After being praised, Gu Qingshi went up to Li Xiaomeng and took a peek. Then she hugged Li Xiaomeng from behind and carried her to the chair.

Afterwards, the teachers continued dubbing, but encountered many problems.

Gu Qingshi turned around, listening to the dubbing effects and providing guidance.

"Boss Gu, you're not shouting loud enough when you're moving the ammunition boxes. You can't feel the weight at all."

Weight? That's easy.

"Go to the gym, take down the barbell and hold it up, put a bag on your back and put a few dozen kilograms of dumbbells on it, then go and lift a table, and then shout again."

The staff quickly prepared the backpack and carefully placed it on the dubbing teacher's back.

With such heavy weight, the dubbing teacher barely lifted the table and took two steps, almost spraining his waist.

This time the roar immediately had that flavor.

What a genius, Mr. Gu!

"Beep! Beep!" Gu Qingshi blew the whistle twice and called An Yan over. "Are we working on the sound effects for explosions, guns, and horses?"

An Yan reported truthfully: "We entrusted it to an outsourcing team."

"Which outsourcing?"

An Yan was puzzled. "A domestic game company."

"Take it down and get some real sound effects."

Director An didn't understand what real sound effects meant. Did we have to go to a small African country to shoot scenes on the battlefield?

That’s too dangerous!

"If there's an explosion, go to the film and television city and see if we can get a few hundred kilograms of explosives from the higher-ups to make the sound effects of buildings collapsing. Things like naval guns and machine guns are hard to make, but we can collect the sound of machine guns at the shooting range."

This this......

An Yan was stunned. It was just a sound effect. Was it necessary to go to so much trouble?

But Gu Qingshi was still not satisfied.

"Also, we have over 100 square meters of grassland. We can get a few horses from the stable and raise them for a few months. I've never ridden a horse before... Bah, having a few horses will also help us with dubbing or motion capture."

.........

.........

In fact, Gu Qingshi didn't know how to dub at all, but she knew one thing very well: no matter how similar the imitator was, it would never be as good as the original.

So instead of asking teachers to look for those elusive sparks of inspiration, it is better to let them experience the state of the soldiers on the battlefield firsthand.

If she wasn't worried about her safety, Gu Qingshi really wanted to go to the front line of the battlefield to collect all kinds of sounds. But war is no joke, and Gu Qingshi didn't want to die young.

The problems with dubbing and sound effects have been solved, but the music is a difficult problem.

Music is indeed a plus, such as the fart sound electronic music inherited from "Battlefield", the Royal Orchestra of Paradox, and the Grammy-winning prayer song in the Civilization series...

Solving this problem is both easy and difficult, it all comes down to one word: "money".

It just so happens that Fanxing is not short of money.

Gu Qingshi’s target partner is Lightspeed, an international choral orchestra that excels in composing symphonies and has a great reputation in game music.

This band is good in every way except for one thing: it's too lazy and too expensive.

Lightspeed charges 30,000 yuan per minute, and often delays the delivery of manuscripts. Often, a one-month deadline can be extended to two or even three months.

And you can't punish them. They have strong technical capabilities, a good reputation, and no shortage of orders...

After contacting Lightspeed, Gu Qingshi made her requirements clear and then took the initiative to raise the price to 35,000 per minute.

Fanxing really has money now but doesn't know where to spend it. The sales of "Victoria" are still growing slowly, and the DLC released in the past few months has also given the studio a transfusion of blood, not to mention that Gu Qingshi also has to set up advertising space in "RPGmaker".

Fanxing’s current liquid funds have exceeded 100 million.

At the beginning, Gu Qingshi prepared two plans: DLC strategy and creative incubation plan.

The creative incubation program, as the name suggests, is to incubate the unrealized ideas of game developers - it can be seen as a type of angel investment.

Before, Fanxing was short of money and it was difficult to come up with a large amount of funds to invest in small and medium-sized studios, but the situation is completely different now.

But who should lead this program?

On the screen, Gu Qingshi deleted the names of Li Xiaomeng, An Yan, Bao Long, Luo Jingcong and others one by one.

They were either busy with other projects or just not the right personality.

Gu Qingshi frowned.

We are lacking a front desk and a visionary game developer to be responsible for the creative incubation project.

Chapter 62 [Super Pie]

Time quickly came to February 2th. There was still no sign of "Brave Hearts: World War" directed by Li Xiaomeng, but the production of the promotional video for "Battlefield" was already coming to an end.

Promotional videos are the art of game promotion, the soul of electronic fraud, and the deadly poison on the tip of the knife for players.

It can be said that a good promotional video can directly arouse players' expectations and increase the sales of the game.

So the notorious promotional video scams appeared on the earth. First there was the reduced quality of "Watch Dogs", and then there was the electronic scam of "Anthem", not to mention the heavyweight "Battlefield 2042" and the incredible player "Cyberpunk 2077".

The content promoted at the time was so mouth-watering that countless players emptied their wallets to choose pre-order, but after it was released, they found out that it was all show and no substance, and they were so angry that they cursed.

It felt like spending thousands of dollars on jadeite, only to be recognized by a master at a live treasure appraisal studio as plastic covered in fluorescent powder...

I even wanted to kill the developer's eight generations of ancestors.

As for "Starry Sky"... As a CRPG fan, Gu Qingshi was filled with emotion when he saw Todd's failure, so it's better not to mention it.

But Gu Qingshi would never allow herself to make the above mistakes.

An Yan produced the promotional video for "Battlefield" and sent a copy to Gu Qingshi for review.

There are very few shooting games on the market, and war-themed games are even less popular, so we had no experience in making war game trailers when developing one. But An Yan came up with a good idea.

Take a cue from the movies.

Anyway, the special effects of domestic movies also use "Pangu III", which has the same origin as their game development. In this case, if they can't do it, won't they just copy it?

To develop this film, I collected a large number of domestic and foreign war movies, focusing on learning from the exciting big scenes, and then made a bunch of exciting shots and made a mashup of these high-energy clips imitating the movies.

Of course, remixing requires skills. When the members of the development department left Xinghuo Entertainment, many of them went to other industries, and many talented people emerged. Among them, there are really masters who are proficient in remixing.

Thump thump, dunk thump, thump thump thump!

After a classic fart sound, it goes straight to the point. Airships and bombers, anti-aircraft guns and anti-aircraft vehicles, groups of cavalry flying across the desert, armored trains stretching for hundreds of meters roaring and spewing gunpowder and bullets, and battleships on the sea in the distance slowly moving their main guns...

The camera flashed, and corpses were everywhere, smoke filled the sky, and the flamethrower, under the cover of his companions, roared and burned the screen into a sea of ​​red.

In short, all the big scenes were crammed in, and after a flash of incomprehensible images, the title of the game emerged: "Battlefield".

"very suitable!"

Gu Qingshi decided to accept it. The quality of the promotional video was beyond her expectations, but there was one thing that she was not satisfied with.

No shield.

"Remember to insert a paragraph of text at the beginning of the video, 'The content of the game is adapted from real events a hundred years ago' and 'To commemorate the 20th anniversary of the end of the war'."

An Yan immediately replied: "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

"We'll have an annual meeting soon and then everyone can go home." Gu Qingshi said lazily while lying on the table.

An Yan was stunned for a moment before she remembered that it was almost New Year's Eve.

After the promotional video was completed, all colleagues in the development department went to the trial play area on the first floor.

The second development department is working from home and had their annual holiday in early February.
