After Jiang Qiao preliminarily determined the main storyline, he went straight into director mode.
Taking advantage of the eleven-hour maintenance time, Jiang Qiao plans to shoot a short CG to let players understand the plot of the new version and what happened during the server maintenance.
The performers of this CG segment are Jiang Qiao's Freya Unit-01 and a group of NPC cult members temporarily created by Jiang Qiao.
The Cult is a villain that will surely run through the entire history of the "Holy Spirit" game. Jiang Qiao was very careful in creating their uniforms.
The overall creative style is similar to that of the Inquisition in ancient medieval times, except that Jiang Qiao implicitly imprinted the characteristic mark of the Annihilation Legion, that is, the skull mask, on the clothing pattern.
So in the end, the big villain organization behind the scenes was born...
These villains behind the scenes are just robots. Jiang Qiao needs to perform a set of actions himself so that these NPCs can be perfectly restored. As for the lines, Jiang Qiao only needs to input text and they can automatically find the most appropriate tone.
"Are you ready?"
Jiang Qiao said this to his Freya. This Freya Unit-01 is now considered a semi-artificial intelligence. She has her own emotions and thoughts, but her way of thinking is completely different from that of humans.
Freya nodded slightly to show that she was ready.
“Then let’s start recording.”
Jiang Qiao turned on the full-camera recording mode, which is very popular on Blue Star where VR is prevalent. It is a common mode used when watching immersive VR movies.
After the recording is finished, Jiang Qiao only needs to select some suitable shots and clips.
The first scene on the screen is Freya sitting on the steps of the Resurrection Cathedral, holding the fragment of the divinity given to her by the player in her palm.
The fragment of the godhead glowed dimly in her hand. Although Freya's expression was still expressionless, the Holy Spiritist would surely be able to analyze something like 'the joy in her eyes expressed...'
Jiang Qiao doesn't need to inject too much emotion into Freya. What kind of character Freya is is still defined by the players themselves.
Freya's gaze did not last long. She seemed to realize something and suddenly raised her head to look at the door of the Resurrection Cathedral.
A group of aggressive cult members walked towards Freya...
Freya did not panic. She held the fragment of the divine power in her hands and placed it on her chest, then slowly stood up.
"Freya, give me the fragment of the godhead." The leading member of the cult stretched out his hand to Freya.
Freya did not answer. She was set up as a puppet who would not refute others. The only resistance she could offer was to hold the fragment of the divinity tightly in her hand.
When the leading cult member saw Freya's refusal attitude, two people beside him stepped forward and tried to walk up the stairs to snatch the fragment of the divinity from Freya's hand.
The impact of magical power erupted the moment the cult members stepped onto the stairs, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground.
Freya also took this opportunity to take a step back, and her figure disappeared in the Cathedral of the Resurrection.
"Disappeared? Go and get that puppet back!" the leading cult member shouted angrily.
The first stage of the CG ends here, and the actions of the cult members are frozen in this scene.
Jiang Qiao reset their movements and drove this group of NPCs towards the port of Lionheart City like a corpse driver.
Freya was still in the church... She ran to Jiang Qiao's side, but stopped when Jiang Qiao walked out of the door.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Qiao asked.
"Can I... go out?" A hint of fear appeared on Freya's expressionless face, a bit like a newborn deer that feels both curious and fearful when going out for the first time.
"You have permission to go out now. I allow you to do so." Jiang Qiao said.
In the settings of Freya and the others, they cannot leave the map of the Cathedral of the Resurrection, because the Cathedral of the Resurrection is an independent space, and there is a Freya living in each space.
If this group of Freya runs out into the streets...it will probably be very troublesome.
Therefore, a similar independent space should be created in Jiangqiao on the Brand Island map.
After getting Jiang Qiao's permission, Freya Unit-01 carefully followed Jiang Qiao out of the Cathedral of the Resurrection.
Freya Unit-01 really had her own thoughts. When she saw the sun for the first time, a look of joy appeared on her face.
Jiang Qiao smiled and said nothing, then led all the members of the cult and Freya to the port of Lionheart City.
The next scene to be filmed was a chase scene... The members of the cult chased Freya all the way to the portal of the Tower of Trials at the port.
This scene was repeated about five or six times before Jiang Qiao achieved the effect he wanted. In the end, Freya was forced to the edge of the port portal, and was surrounded by a group of armed cult members.
Behind Freya there was only the portal leading to the Tower of Trials.
"Hand over the fragments of the godhead!" the cult members threatened again.
Freya didn't say anything and just kept backing away. A huge fireball came towards her. Freya used the power of the fragments of the divine nature to resist the attack of the fireball.
The flames spread out on the transparent magic barrier, and Freya was pushed into the sea by the impact of the fireball and fell into the portal behind her.
Of course, it is impossible to really fall here. Not long after Freya's figure disappeared in the portal, Jiang Qiao's earth spirit flew out of the portal holding Freya.
“The next step is to go to Brand Island to shoot.”
Jiang Qiao reached out and supported Freya. She still seemed a little reserved in the outside world. He wondered if leaving the Holy Spirit World would make her even more nervous.
The portal to Brand Island is in the Tower of Trials, and the Mother Earth has built a permanent portal specifically for this purpose.
Jiang Qiao led his daughter Freya through the portal and arrived at Brand Island.
The edge of the island is a relatively safe place, and the crystallization here is not too serious.
"Well... Next we'll be filming the scene where you fall into the forest, and we'll also need to add some battle-damaged clothing to your body."
Jiang Qiao created some 'stickers' with wound effects and pasted them on Freya's fair skin, and made Freya's clothes dirty and torn.
Jiang Qiao then used the wind spirit's invisibility properties to film a scene of Freya falling into the forest.
When Freya fell to the ground, her body was covered with wounds. She fell to the ground, looked at the fragment of the divinity in her hand, clenched it tightly against her chest, closed her eyes and fell into a state of fainting.
The picture gradually moves up and down from here with Freya lying on the grass as the center, until Freya's figure lying on the grass is covered by dense leaves, and then the picture turns to the center of Brand Island full of crystal columns.
A ferocious-looking flying dragon flew into the camera and roared. With this roar, anyone could see that this forest was very dangerous.
From here on, this short CG comes to an end, but after the screen goes dark... Jiang Qiao will add a line that is the most core of the entire CG.
"Ah... kind Holy Spirit, what is your world like?"
These words, with an emotion almost like longing, were enough to show that Freya wanted to meet the players in the real world.
"Done."
After finishing the dubbing for his own Freya, Jiang Qiao felt that it was time to start designing the specific gameplay of the new copy.
