"You mean... they all come here for endorsements?"
After explaining the situation to Hao Yun, Sun Xiaoteng continued.
"Yes, and probably part of the reason is because of the movie."
"Movie?"
Sun Xiaoteng nodded and said.
"Well, didn't we at Yunmeng Media set up a new crew some time ago? We have recently recruited a lot of CG production talents. Maybe someone saw the recruitment information we posted on the job search website and speculated that we planned to give Warcraft The world makes theatrical movies.”
"You mean Guo Qifei's crew?" Hao Yun said in a dumbfounded voice, "But... they were filming Ready Player One."
He didn't remember ever saying he wanted to make a theatrical movie about World of Warcraft.
"I know, but I can't stop others from guessing." Sun Xiaoteng said helplessly, "But to be honest, since so many people are looking forward to it... why don't you think about it."
"What to consider?"
Holding his glasses, Sun Xiaoteng said enthusiastically.
"Things about the Warcraft movie."
It always felt like the round-framed glasses on the bridge of her nose were shining when she said these words.
Hao Yun thought for a while, but couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
He nodded and said.
"I'll think about it."
It’s not difficult to make a movie, it’s hard to shoot which part.
To be honest, as a fantasy work, the plot timeline of Warcraft is actually a bit confusing. Let alone reading, it is normal for many places to be inconsistent.
But this is actually something that can’t be helped.
After all, the plot of World of Warcraft basically serves the game, and profiteer Xue Xue cannot be expected to have too much affection for his own work.
Since at the end of each expansion pack in World of Warcraft, a major negative force or a branch of negative forces must be eliminated, resulting in a serious shortage of popular villains later on, they had to constantly blacken positive characters or neutral characters, and the official even took the initiative to make people angry. .
His idol suddenly started massacring cities and burning trees. Who the hell can withstand this
It is precisely because of this factor that Hao Yun confidently leaves the direction of the subsequent plot to the AI. After all, even if the plot designed by the AI is more exciting, it will not be more exciting than the original one.
And considering the player's participation in the plot, this kind of crowdfunded plot makes players feel so good that the AI is so awesome that it can poison people to death and let the players take half of the blame.
Hao Yun had no intention of copying a World of Warcraft that was exactly the same as the previous one. Most of the games he restored to this world had actually undergone slight adjustments.
It's just that the adjustment this time is a bit large.
'If you have to take pictures...'
'Sure enough, we still have to let the popular character Arthas or the three Windrunner sisters be the protagonists. '
Hao Yun thought in his heart.
Maybe consider creating a "Warcraft" universe
This also makes it easier for him to "eat books". If he can't connect, he can use parallel worlds or if lines to explain.
It's just that it seems a bit too early to consider this issue now. At least we have to wait until the players develop feelings for it before considering it.
Seeing that Mr. Hao was still thinking about this matter, Sun Xiaoteng did not urge him to make a decision, but talked about his purpose of coming this time.
"Yeah, anyway, you should think about it. Let's not talk about this matter. I am not coming to you this time about the movie, but about the upcoming Warcraft Music Festival."
Is it another matter of letting yourself compete
Hao Yun coughed dryly and said.
"Are you planning to say the same thing as Du Ziteng?"
"No, what I planned to talk about was the budget..." Sun Xiaoteng continued with a helpless expression, "In the original plan, we planned to let Lin Mengmeng and several other musicians serve as judges to evaluate the works submitted by players. Make comments and select the ones with excellent quality to be included in the official soundtrack album together with the BGM we commissioned from professional musicians."
Hao Yun said doubtfully.
"Isn't this nice?"
"Originally, this was indeed the case, but due to endorsements and movies, I received at least five first-line celebrity applications to participate, including the recently popular first-line singer Hu Yanshu, Xu Shaoyuan of Da Mi Entertainment, etc."
Hao Yun was stunned and asked.
"Are they all going to participate?"
Hao Yun has some impression of these names. They are all big stars with tens of millions of fans.
Sun Xiaoteng nodded.
"Yes."
Hao Yun fell into deep thought.
To be honest, the fact that so many big-name celebrities came to join in the fun was not only beyond Sun Xiaoteng's expectation, but also beyond his expectation. When Li Zongzheng told him about this event before, he was talking about a small cultural event for players. It was not even planned to be a concert, and even the entrance for online submissions was ready.
but now.
It seems that there is no way to be hasty.
However, from a publicity perspective, it is definitely good for World of Warcraft. Although World of Warcraft has now replaced Oracle as the most popular MMORPG, the growth in the number of players is far from reaching a bottleneck.
It’s just that if there are so many big names…
Do you still need to go on stage
Hao Yun thought for a while and asked.
"How do you plan to arrange for so many people? What is the approximate budget required?"
Sun Xiaoteng suggested.
“My suggestion is to cooperate with the TV station to create a format similar to a live talent show, then place big-name stars on the judges’ bench, invite some new singers to participate in the show, and then judge them together with the outstanding works submitted by players. "
It is certainly not appropriate to allow famous stars to participate in the draft. Not only will the list lose its authenticity, but it may also cause fans to fight over the list.
The best option is to put these big names on the judges' bench, and if conditions permit, entrust them to compose a single as a program menu, interspersed with live singing in the talent show, which can not only create program effects, but also make full use of their popularity.
Although this will increase the budget a lot, these singles will eventually be included in the official soundtrack anyway. Selling albums and live show tickets can still make a lot of money, and it cannot be regarded as a waste. At most, it will be a small loss. .
The popularity and traffic that the show brings to the game are all earned in blood no matter how you calculate it!
Sun Xiaoteng has already considered these things thoroughly.
After listening to Sun Xiaoteng's suggestion, Hao Yun nodded with satisfaction.
"Then I'll do as you say. If the budget is fine, I'll say hello to the finance department."
Sun Xiaoteng breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile.
"Okay, then just follow this plan. I'll go back and change the event planning."
Seeing that Sun Xiaoteng was planning to leave, Hao Yun said quickly.
"Wait a moment."
"Um?"
Looking at Sun Xiaoteng who stopped, Hao Yun continued with a subtle expression.
"Speaking of which... there are so many big stars, do I still need to participate?"
"What are you talking about?" Sun Xiaoteng looked at him with a strange expression and said matter-of-factly, "You were voted by the players. It doesn't matter if the celebrities don't come. You must participate."
After saying this, she winked in a joking manner.
"Come on, Mr. Hao, I look forward to your performance!"
