Almighty Game Designer

Chapter 146: theme song

Views:

The game duration of "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is not fixed. If you are a master just to pass the plot, you can get through in about 30 hours, but if you are new to the game, you want to play a leader seriously The ending or Overlord ending may take more than 50 hours if there is a strategy.

Of course, if you want to experience all the endings and various branch plots, like some obsessive-compulsive disorder patients, you have to complete all the branch plots in Luoyang City before apprenticeship, then the time can't be counted.

A pure novice like Lin Xue, playing this game without a strategy at all, may have to play it two or three times before barely hitting the main line ending.

However, she still doesn't know this cruel fact, and she is still playing with great interest, completely forgetting to gank Chen Mo again.

Zen entertainment.

Yao Yu is still busy arranging the publicity and promotion plan for "Yu Jian Wen Qing".

"Yes, for this cg, capture a few wonderful shots and put them on. There is also the combat system, some cool spells for me to focus on. The color of this picture is too dark, remove it, or increase the saturation. Still There is this…”

In fact, in terms of publicity and promotion, the main thing is to make players interested in this game through some promotional pictures and videos. Yao Yu is very experienced in this area, and all the work is arranged in an orderly manner.

At this time, the assistant came over: "There is news about Chen Mo's new game, it's a martial arts theme!"

Yao Yu was stunned: "The theme of martial arts? So he also plans to participate in this selection?"

The assistant nodded: "It must be, otherwise martial arts games are so weak, why would he bother to do it?"

Yao Yu said, "Is there a video? Show me."

In fact, Yao Yu was also quite nervous. When he heard that Chen Mo was also doing it, he was at a loss.

If it's another B-level designer, then Yao Yu definitely doesn't care about it at all, and he can do whatever he wants, not to mention making martial arts themes that are recognized as popular in the street. Isn't this a dead end

But Chen Mo is different, this person is very wicked, he can make games that everyone thinks he can't make, and Yao Yu doesn't dare to be careless.

The assistant took the mobile phone, and on it were some demo clips of "Legend of Wulin Heroes", which were spread on the Internet by players.

Chen Mo didn't restrict these things, because even if other designers saw these clips, it was useless. The event was almost over, and the game had already been finalized. Even if other designers wanted to copy it, they didn't have the time.

For Yao Yu, there is no need to copy, because the planning of "Yu Jian Wen Qing" is very mature, and it is impossible to forcibly change it. He watched this clip mainly to find out the details of Chen Mo's new game.

Yao Yu frowned, and watched all the clips that lasted nearly ten minutes.

"Large map plus cultivation mode? What is this? It's inexplicable." Yao Yu was a little confused.

The content of "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is very rich, even if you play it yourself, you may not understand it, let alone just watch a few episodes? Yao Yu read it again, and he was roughly sure that the core competitiveness of "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" mainly lies in the gameplay. As for the deep stuff, I really can't see much.

The assistant asked, "What do you think we should do?"

Yao Yu thought about it for a while: "Apply for more promotion funds, and push me all over the world! His game is for selling gameplay, and the game content is so rich, it must be very difficult to get started in the early stage. Let's start a publicity war this time. It firmly attracts the players' attention, as long as the popularity of his game does not rise, it will definitely spread very slowly."

The assistant nodded: "Okay, I understand!"

Although it is for participating in the selection, game sales and player reputation are also factors considered by the jury. If the judges think a game is good, but the sales are ugly, it will definitely affect the selection.

Yao Yu's thinking is very clear, "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" is so difficult to get started, and there are so many innovations, it is definitely not as popular as "Walk the Sword". If "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" can be stabilized in terms of publicity and promotion, then for him, the first prize will still be guaranteed under the circumstances of the ups and downs.

Moreover, Yao Yu also knows some of Chen Mo's habits. Chen Mo doesn't like to spend too much money on publicity and promotion. If the sales volume is raised, that is a sure win.

So what if "The Legend of Wulin Heroes" works hard in the later stage? Awards have been selected!

Chen Mo was not in the experience store today.

In Xuandong Aurora Studio, Chen Mo was chatting with Guo Feng.

"How about it? Have you found a singer yet? I won't pay you if you don't like the singing." Chen Mo said.

Guo Feng said happily: "Don't worry, we've been working together for a long time, do you still not trust me? But the cg you did this time is too simple, when will you be able to do the big work of "Warcraft" again?"

Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "You are so beautiful! You can't rely on me to support you for such a big studio all day, can you? Besides, you haven't finished producing the follow-up cgs of "Warcraft" for me! "

Guo Feng said: "Don't worry, I'm working overtime to catch up."

Chen Mo waved his hand: "Come on, anyway, we have cooperated for so long, so we don't need to talk about those polite words. Let me tell you, this song is very important to my new game, you have to pay attention to it."

Guo Feng patted his chest: "It is necessary. The equipment, band, and lead singer in the recording studio are all first-class. Of course, it would be a bit exaggerated if you are looking for some superstar, but now all you are looking for are first-rate lead singers, and their singing skills are definitely not a problem. …”

Chen Mo nodded: "Okay, anyway, the lyrics and music have already been released, and the arrangement is also finished. If the singing is not good, then I can only really find the superstar to sing."

Guo Feng said: "Okay, anyway, you have the final say on your own song! You are not short of money now, so asking a heavenly king to sing a song is a trivial matter."

Chen Mo hurriedly waved his hand: "What's the matter, I feel that what you said is quite inflated, come on, stop here, you hurry up and show me the latest demo."

Guo Feng said: "They are recording it over there, don't worry, it should be over soon, and it will be passed on soon."

After waiting for another ten minutes, Guo Feng received a music file.

"Okay, it's out, listen to it first and see if you are satisfied. If you are not satisfied, let him sing it a few more times." Guo Feng handed the earphone to Chen Mo.

Chen Mo put on his headphones and listened to it several times.

After listening, he took off the earphones and shook his head: "No."

Guo Feng was taken aback: "No? Why not?"

Chen Mo said: "It doesn't work anywhere, let's change."

Guo Feng was in a daze, so he wouldn't be able to make a substitution, right

Guo Feng also listened to this song himself. Although he is engaged in animation and has no deep research on music, he has been in this industry for so many years. He has listened to countless opening and ending songs, and he can still listen to the basics. from.

If Guo Feng were to evaluate this song, it would definitely be at the top level. The lyrics and music were all given by Chen Mo, and the arrangement was also done by a special person. There shouldn't be any problems with this.

In other words, Chen Mo was not satisfied with the singing.

But what Guo Feng is looking for is first-class lead singers, and his singing skills are definitely no problem. If he looks further up, he can only find some first-line singers.

Just to make a theme song for the game, why bother

Guo Feng said: "Do you think this singer is not good at singing?"

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, the difference is too much."

Guo Feng wiped the sweat off his forehead: "Then...then look further up, but you really have to find a first-line singer, and according to your requirements, ordinary first-line singers are not enough, and you have to be the kind of singers who can't sing?"

Chen Mo said, "Yes, can you help find it?"

Guo Feng coughed dryly: "If you can, it's nothing more than finding the managers of these singers and hiring them at the market price. But you can think clearly, it costs a lot of money. It's just a theme song for a game. It's worth investing so much in it." Is it big?"

Chen Mo said: "Of course it can be done. Come on, you can help me find it. It is best to sing this kind of theme before, martial arts, fairy tales, can sing this kind of Chinese style, and you have to show this chicness." .Don’t look for me to be a popular niche, I want that vicissitudes of strength to sing.”

Guo Feng nodded: "Okay, you are Party A and you have the final say. Then I will contact you again."

Hong Kong City, Huaxiang Records, recording studio.

Zhou Yifeng has a headache recently.

As the most popular male singer under Huaxiang Records, Zhou Yifeng's recent career has been smooth and has developed very well.

But recently he has been having a headache about the new album.

The songs in the new album are almost ready, but the most important title song is not yet in sight.

Zhou Yifeng can be regarded as a powerful faction. He is relatively ordinary in appearance, but he has great singing skills, and he is a singer-songwriter, so he is also well-known in the mainland.

But the problem is that the singer-songwriter often suffers from a lack of inspiration. He hasn't released any well-known songs in nearly two years. Although it can still be maintained by relying on the previous songs, it is not a long-term solution after all.

After all, the current general environment is very impetuous, and the popularity comes and goes quickly. If you don’t release an album for a year, you may be overtaken.

The manager came to his side: "Yifeng, someone in the mainland invites you to sing, and the price is high."

Zhou Yifeng frowned: "Didn't I say it, everything will be canceled during the preparation of the new album, and you don't need to tell me about this kind of commercial performance afterward."

The manager shook his head: "It's not a commercial performance, it's a game company that wants to release a theme song, and the lyrics and music are coming out there, please sing."

Zhou Yifeng was a little annoyed: "Then I'm not free either. I'm preparing a new album, so I pushed it."

The manager hesitated for a moment and said, "However, I have listened to this song. I suggest you listen to it before making a decision."
