Although Nebula Games has been ridiculed by players for being a film and animation company that was delayed by games.
But the excellent CG animation short films produced by it are mostly for games.
Especially before the launch of "Dota", a season of the animation "Dragon's Blood" was launched. So will the current CG movie called Advent of the Son also be shot by Nebula Games to launch a new work
Is it too exaggerated to make a movie to promote a new work
"It doesn't feel like it, right? Are you shooting a CG movie just to make a game?"
"If this were anyone else, then I can only say shit, but this is Nebula Games and this is Mr. Chen!"
"Actually, if you think about it carefully, it's not impossible! Many of Nebula Games' games have this kind of movie narrative structure, and it's not like Mr. Chen has never done this before, like filming a season of cartoons just to launch a game! "
"You mean, 'Dragon's Blood' has been forgotten?"
"It's different. This is a big CG movie, and if the animation is not good, it can actually be cut in half. But at least one of this movie must be completed, right?"
Players online are divided into two factions and can't argue. After all, both sides have valid reasons.
However, this debate soon came to an end, because many players found that the answer to Stone Hammer appeared on the official blog.
Stop pretending, show your cards, announce!
The previous work of "Advent of the Son" and "Final Fantasy" are under development, so stay tuned. '
As soon as this official blog came out, everyone was confused.
What the hell!
Really... really... is this really a movie for a new game
"Damn it, if you don't agree with the wall, just obey Mr. Chen!"
"To promote the new game, I shot a CG movie!"
"Is Mr. Chen going to confirm the title of the film company that was delayed by the game?"
"I can't beat you, Mr. Chen!"
"This is probably the most powerful game promotional video in history, right?"
With Chen Xu's official blog, the two keywords "The Advent of the Son" and "Final Fantasy" instantly shot up to the first and second spots on the hot search list.
The rest of the game manufacturers in the industry are also confused.
Damn it, their publicity is still limited to buying online and offline advertising, holding press conferences, media, and live broadcast promotions.
Good guy, your Nebula Games is now directly filming a movie to promote it
How the hell can I outplay you!
… … …
After Chen Xu disclosed that Stone Hammer and Advent of the Son were CG movies shot to promote the new game.
It can be said that it has attracted the attention of countless people. Some people who do not play games have become interested in "Final Fantasy" because of "Advent of the Son".
Similarly, some people who only play games but don't like watching movies very much became interested in "Advent of the Son" because of "Final Fantasy".
For example, Song Ren, as a gamer, is considered a hardcore player but his skills are a bit lacking.
But when it comes to movies, except for the truly phenomenal movies that he will follow and watch, his knowledge of movies is basically those famous movies, and he is limited to knowing about them but not watching them.
“I don’t know what the new game is!”
When it was time to unlock 'The Advent of the Holy Son', Song Ren sat on the sofa as soon as possible.
The main reason why he pays so much attention to "The Advent of the Son" is that in his eyes, this is just a pure trailer for Nebula Games' new game.
"Steampunk? Magic, science fiction or something!?"
As the CG movie unfolded, Song Ren couldn't help but feel a little confused when he saw the background in the picture.
According to the background introduction of the narration at the beginning, the planet in the movie is surrounded by an energy body called the Life Stream.
It is said that it is formed by the remaining spiritual power (memories, longings, obsessions and other emotions) of countless undead souls after their death.
It was through the development of this energy resource that the Shinra Corporation that ruled the planet was able to amass wealth in a short period of time and establish a powerful order covering the earth.
And using the energy called Demon Clam, special forces called Shinra Warriors were created.
But due to a huge disaster, not only Shinra was severely damaged, but the entire land also became devastated.
But people still had hope for life and began to invest in the work of rebuilding their homes.
But after the catastrophe was over, what ushered in was not good hope. A mysterious disease called Star Scar Syndrome spread across the world.
For this reason, Tifa decided to seek help from her childhood sweetheart, Cloud, but at this time, Cloud was just a depressed and depressed man.
As the plot of the movie progresses, Song Ren learns bit by bit about the setting of his world view.
This gave him a very strange feeling.
There are talking monsters, huge machines with magic and steampunk, sci-fi motorcycles and various settings.
Especially the motorcycle pursuit battle between Claude and Kadanjuu in the wilderness was extremely cool.
There is also the character design that impressed Song Ren the most.
Cloud, Tifa, the Shinra warriors Reno, the Cardanju brothers, and the mysterious mercenary Vincent are all beautiful and extremely handsome.
You said they all have colorful hair, as if they have a whole bottle of hairspray on them
What a joke! Being ugly is called killing Matt, and being as handsome as Claude is called punk culture!
In addition, there are endless dazzling action scenes and visually stunning effects.
The rest of the content is not bad at all, and the bohemian Renault occasionally emits a frivolous and frivolous tone.
Whenever Ross loses a battle, his brothers Kadanju and Azhuo will tease him with words like "Don't cry."
The bald Luther, always wearing sunglasses, held up the explosive developed by Shinra Technology and stood in front of the camera and said seriously: Regardless of the power of this thing, the first thing is that it will be gorgeous.
Coupled with his serious image, it looks very comedic.
This also made Song Ren directly amused.
As for the symphony orchestra, the sweet words between Cloud and Tifa made Song Ren feel like he was stuffed with three pounds of dog food.
The appearance of the big boss named Sephiroth at the end, and Cloud's battle with him at his peak, are so cool.
The only thing that made Song Ren feel sore was the pit-digging setting full of riddles in the game.
Especially the conversation between Sephiroth and Cloud when he appeared at the end revealed that they had known each other, were enemies, and had fought with each other, but they seemed to have some different bonds.
Song Ren analyzed it carefully, and the general meaning was: Young man, do you want to know all this? If you want to know, then go play the game!
With this feeling of pain in his balls, Song Ren also took out his mobile phone and looked around at other people's comments on the Internet.
"As expected of Mr. Chen, the film company being delayed by the game is indeed right!"
"I have to say that the arrival of the Son is really beautiful! The visual effects are simply explosive! The cost of various detailed textures is going to explode! The most important thing is that Claude is so handsome! Sephiroth is also so handsome!"
"+1, Sephiroth was so handsome when he appeared, and he was so handsome when he left, with a 40-meter-long sword! That sentence I will never become a memory even made my skin crawl."
"But generally speaking, when the BGM sounds, shouldn't it be the trumpet of victory? Just like Lex in Xenoblade Chronicles, why did Sephiroth's 'Dang Deng Deng Deng' come out, but it was Cloud? Did you fuck Sephiroth? And look at the music list at the end, it’s Sephiroth’s theme song?”
"This CG movie is really great. The person who produced this movie is actually a game company?"
"Tifa is simply perfect. I declare that Tifa is my goddess!"
"What are you thinking about upstairs!?"
"By the way, why did the fateful showdown between Cloud and Sephiroth in the end make me want to form a CP between the two of them?"
"I'll go, fencing, fencing, fencing!"
"But it feels like Mr. Chen dug a big hole! Who are the people who appeared in Cloud's memories at the end? And has Sephiroth been defeated by Cloud before?"
Soon after the launch of 'The Advent of the Son', it immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Including some people who don't play games, after watching "The Advent of the Holy Son", they all became interested in the stories behind the so-called Demons, Shinra Warriors, Cloud and Sephiroth.
In the past, there were some people who watched the Nebula game and suddenly made a CG movie.
But now that I’m watching it, everyone can’t help but realize that this movie is really pretty good!
The plot is not difficult to understand. It is nothing more than a warrior who wants to save the world. Due to certain things, he becomes depressed, and the old boss returns with a vengeance.
The story of the final warrior, with the help of his childhood sweetheart Tifa and friends such as Vincent, Yuffie, and Barret, revives his mental illness and defeats the big boss again. This is a very templated hero biography story.
However, for non-artistic films, especially those involved in science fiction and action genres, what is needed is this set of templates. If it is too complicated, it will easily fail.
The Advent of the Son undoubtedly follows this set of templates, coupled with sensationalism, friendship, and funny moments to adjust the audience's mood.
The motorcycle chase at the end, the fierce battle between Vincent, Barrett and the three Cardanju brothers, and the fateful decisive battle between Cloud and Sephiroth at the end.
It can be said that "Advent of the Son" is a very standard popcorn commercial CG movie.
The fighting scenes and special effects alone are enough to entertain the audience.
The only thing that makes players uncomfortable is that after watching this, everyone has to admit one thing, that is, this CG movie is really a trailer to promote the game.
Although the story itself is considered complete, the Riddler setting that digs holes throughout the entire story simply makes countless players want to rush into the Nebula Games office with a hammer and fill up the holes inside.
