Wealthy after rebirth

Chapter 167 Theme Song and Spokesperson

Shi Yining clicked his tongue after hearing Huang Jiayan's words, and the joyful expression on his face faded a little, and said: "It's not difficult, but the background music has not been settled yet."

"I originally planned to follow the example of CS and choose a piece of heavy metal music as the theme song, but after choosing for a long time, there was no suitable track." (she is my sin)

Speaking of this, Shi Yining turned off the game engine, and the web page for selecting songs before popped up.

Huang Jiayan looked at the website and found that most of them were metal, heavy metal or death metal music from Nordic bands.

All are rock music with high explosiveness, fast speed, weight and destructiveness. These musics have a strong sense of rhythm and can make people feel the power of the explosion.

Choosing this type of music as the theme song of a shooting game can indeed better mobilize the player's emotions, but it is a bit too strong for auditory and brain stimulation.

"Have you ever thought about what the theme song mainly wants to express?"

Instead of helping Shi Yining solve the problem, Huang Jiayan asked a new question instead.

"Express what?"

Shi Yining frowned and pondered. Originally, he thought that it would be all right as long as being impassioned could make people excited, but after Huang Jiayan said it, the intention seemed to be more advanced, and it was even more difficult when it involved metaphors.

Seeing Shi Yining's frowning face, Huang Jiayan continued to guide: "That is to say, what kind of connotation do you want this game to embody, what kind of emotion do you want to convey? Or what kind of spirit do you want to express?"

"Transmitting...emotional emotions? Spiritual?"

Shi Yining became more and more confused.

Video games are called the ninth art, and they should indeed carry spiritual content, but what can they embody?

He began to think back to the time when he played Survival in the Wasteland, and what attracted him most was the core setting of "fighting with others is endless fun".

During the game, enjoy fighting, killing, treacherous and changeable offense and defense, and finally win the others through all kinds of hardships, and become the only survivor who is still standing. The sense of accomplishment is self-evident.

But a game can't promote fighting and killing, so what's the point...

"The game is full of a lot of war elements, such as sneak attack, head-on confrontation, street fighting, and cooperation. Try to simulate real combat situations. The use of these elements in the game should just make people feel the cruelty of war..."

Shi Yining talked to himself, and seemed to have found his way.

"Thus opposing war in reality, getting closer to peace, and opposing war!"

"Yes, that's it! Anti-war! This game can convey the spirit of anti-war!"

Thinking of anti-war, Shi Yining suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, and said, "I thought of a song!"

While speaking, he was ready to search.

After Huang Jiayan saw that Shi Yining typed Jay Chou's name, she blurted out: "The final battle! Uh..."

Speaking quickly, Huang Jiayan discovered that the title of the song that Shi Yining typed was not "The Last Battle".

Shi Yining said with a smile: "Although Director Jay's "The Last Battle" describes the battlefield, the inner part is against violence and drugs. It is not a battle of bullets, but this song is different..."

""Stop the War", this is a purely anti-war theme song, created with the background of the war in Vladivostok, come, listen to it!"

After finishing speaking, Shi Yining clicked to play, and the prelude to "Stop the War" sounded.

A beautiful piano sound accompanied by the rustling sound of a pencil falling on the paper...

It's just the beginning of this paragraph, if it is tied into the game as the BGM when entering the game lobby, the effect will be very good!

light as paper

light scattered places

The light is in a hurry as the applause fades away
……

What is the shape of hope in the eyes of children

Do you wake up with bread for breakfast and a bowl of hot soup

……

The light of the bayonet is polished by hatred, barbaric in the distance

But she smiled without knowing panic

……

The four and a half minutes of the song ended quickly, and Shi Yining felt that if he could extract the song "Stop the War" as the background music, it would be perfect!
The piano music's performance using Bach's Well Tempered Temperament has a sense of desolation with the rustling autumn wind, which makes people feel a little more sad and thoughtful. The Russian style of music adds to the desolate feeling.

The whole song doesn't have a strong impact, but it gives people a very deep response.

In addition, there is no passion or criticism in the lyrics, but there is a thought-provoking shock. The whole song expresses disgust for the war and sympathy for the people who have been devastated by the war.

The genre and the tune are matched with the desolation of the waiting interface background in the game, it feels very good!

"Overall, it's no worse than the original background music of Survival Wasteland...why didn't I think of it before!"

Shi Yining thought in his heart, it turned out that he had been looking in the wrong direction, only thinking about how to mobilize the players' emotions, it was too one-sided!
"The song is used as the background music in the game hall, and the whole song is used to play random passages when using the vehicle. How about this idea?"

Shi Yining asked happily.

Huang Jiayan is a veteran fan, and when she heard that Shi Yining wanted to use Jay Chou's song as the theme song for the game, she agreed [-]% no matter whether it was out of personal emotion or rational thinking, and she nodded with a smile.

"Excellent decision, but I didn't expect that you are also a Jay fan. I thought you young people don't like to listen to Jay Chou's songs!"

Shi Yining frowned, pinched Huang Jiayan's nose and said, "You are only two years older than me, and pretending to be old-fashioned is not enough... Help me inform the technicians to come and discuss the background music issue."

After a while, several staff responsible for sound effects in the company walked into the boss's office and were surprised when they learned about the choice of the theme song.

It's not that he was surprised that Jay Chou's music was chosen, but that Shi Yining added the anti-war theme to the game!

"Boss, it is no exaggeration to say that this decision of yours has raised the level of the game to a new level..."

One of the sound effects engineers expressed his sincere sigh. He has worked in the industry for several years and participated in several game development projects, but he always felt that the games he participated in were too empty and lacked certain connotation.

Now that he finally met a boss with ideas, his heart suddenly felt full.

"This is also my whim just now, and the thinking of game tester Huang Jiayan is also in it. Since I have this plan, I should discuss in depth the setting of anti-war theme elements..."

"Yes, Mr. Shi, are you sure to approve the project? I will be the first to participate in the research of this project!"

"Me too, I will participate too!"

The two technicians were very positive.

Shi Yining nodded and notified Du Zhenhong to officially announce the establishment of an anti-war element development team, trying to add various elements to the game to reflect the anti-war spirit.

"Using "Stop War" as the theme area of ​​the game, how to solve the copyright issue?"

Huang Jiayan asked after waiting for others to leave the office.

Shi Yining never thought of stealing music as the theme song of the game, he shrugged with a smile, and said, "I'll buy it, why not? I remember that Jay Chou founded Jewel... wait a minute."

Speaking of purchasing the copyright, Shi Yining suddenly thought of another thing, which was the issue of the spokesperson. Since he decided to use Jay Chou's song as the game's theme song, it seemed good to simply hire Jay Chou as the game's spokesperson.

"If Jay Chou is invited to act as the spokesperson for the image of the game, what do you think of the effect?" Shi Yining said seriously.

The market for Survival in the Badlands is global, and there will not be only one spokesperson, but the spokesperson of the Tianchao District is very important and will have a direct impact on the sales of the game.

"Chou Jay has great influence, especially young fans, there should be some potential users among those fans, and there will be a good response!"

Huang Jiayan was very excited when she heard Shi Yining's decision. She is a fan of Laojie, and if the project she participated in had an idol as the spokesperson, she would be so happy.

But after being excited, she also had some worries, saying: "Dr. Jay's endorsement fees are very high, often exceeding tens of millions. Will it exceed the budget? What if I can't make it back..."

Shi Yining knocked Huang Jiayan on the head and said, "Are you not familiar with the game industry, or do you not have confidence in the game I developed? It seems that today I have to teach you how to play Hearthstone Arena!"

Huang Jiayan had an innocent look in her beautiful almond eyes, and rubbed the place where she was hit. She really just kindly reminded her why she took a stick.

Shi Yining thought for a while and said, "If it's just buying music copyrights, it's easy to talk about, but if it involves endorsement cooperation, I guess we have to arrange a trip to Taiwan..."

"That's not necessary... Jay Chou started his world tour two years ago, half a month later it will be in Shencheng."

Huang Jiayan is very familiar with Jay Chou's activities.

"Really? What a coincidence?"

While talking, Shi Yining opened the webpage and searched. Sure enough, as Huang Jiayan said, Ferris World Tour Concert will have a tour in Shencheng in September!
Shi Yining is a fan of Jay, but he has never been to Jay Chou's concert, of course it's not that he doesn't want to go, because time and money didn't allow it, so he didn't pay attention to the news about the concert.

Huang Jiayan is different. When Jay Chou holds concerts in the capital, she almost always goes to the venue. After all, she is a native of the capital, so it is convenient to buy tickets, and there is no need to say that there is too much financial pressure.

If Boss Shi knew this, he could only feel that the children in big cities are really happy.

"It would be much more convenient if we were in Shencheng!"

Shi Yining nodded in satisfaction.

Compared with Taiwan Province, which is [-] kilometers away in a straight line, Shencheng, which is only [-] to [-] kilometers away by car, is obviously much closer. If you go to Qincheng in the morning and go around, you can still catch up with dinner in the evening.

Shi Yining made relevant plans. He asked Song Linkai to contact Jay Chou's music company to discuss the copyright issue of the single, and at the same time revealed the expectations of the game spokesperson, and then made an appointment for an interview in Shencheng.

After confirming the background music of the game and the spokesperson of the Datianchao area, Shi Yining found that the current game development is gradually coming to an end, and a series of projects that were not very urgent before have to be put on the agenda at a faster pace!

In view of this, after Shi Yining ordered Song Linkai to work, he did not continue to write the core program, but started to write the short-term plan.

Just before dinner, a ray of the setting sun shone on the office windows.

As the afternoon passed, the layout of the office of the boss of the Sea Monster Game Development Company changed a little. There was an extra table diagonally in front of the boss's desk, with two monitors placed on the table.

Huang Jiayan has already copied part of the game program to the computer, and this club is concentrating on running the game, switching to the document page from time to time to take notes.

The only sound in the quiet office is the sound of typing on the keyboard, clicking the mouse and running the water cooling system.

Suddenly, the ringtone of Weixin's voice call request broke the silence.

Shi Yining stopped what he was doing, picked up the phone and took a look, and found that it was Xu Muqin's call request. After hanging up, he stood up and said, "Qin... Excuse me, what do you want to drink?"

Huang Jiayan stood up and looked at Shi Yining in surprise, what kind of nerves did she have, why did she still use the word "please".

"Let me get it for you, what do you want to drink?"

"I'm going to get up and move around. Tell me, coffee or milk tea?"

Shi Yining asked with a very natural smile.

"Coffee, thank you."

Huang Jiayan watched Shi Yining walk out of the office, and was a little curious about the voice call request, but she didn't think too much about it, and continued to return to work, new things are always particularly attractive.

"I just talked to my colleagues about something, what are you up to, Qin Bao?"

After walking out of the office, Shi Yining made another voice call.

"Little Shitou, I have received all the beauty makeup you gave me. It is such a big pile that it can be used for a long time. Thank you."

Qincheng Sea Monster Culture Media, seven or eight shopping bags were placed on the computer desk in front of Xu Muqin, and exquisite gift boxes were piled up one by one.

"Thank you for what we said between the two of you. Make cosmetics a small investment. You must help me earn it back."

Shi Yining said with a smile.

Xu Muqin puffed her cheeks, but didn't answer, and asked, "I heard from Han Qianya, when you were shopping in the mall, you took them to fight with a very beautiful female classmate, who is it?"

Shi Yining curled his lips, it seems that no matter how much they grow up, some people still maintain their original appearance in some aspects, for example, the jealous Xu Muqin still loves jealousy.

There is also Han Qianya, her mouth is still so slack, like a loudspeaker, she can't tell her anything in the future...

"A female classmate is a female classmate, who else can it be? Just say the name as if you can recognize it!"

"Then tell me, I might really know you." Xu Muqin asked.

"Wang Gangdan, do you know him?"

Shi Yining asked with a smile.

"Wang... steel egg?" Xu Muqin actually thought about it seriously, and then said angrily: "How can a girl use such a strange name, you are fooling me again!"

Shi Yining took out two cans of coffee, and said with a smile: "Haha, you're not used to teasing, okay, my name is Pei Yuting, it doesn't matter if you know her, a narrow-minded woman."

"Hey... I seem to have heard of this name before. Anyway, I have an impression... Okay, little stone, I have to go to work, and I will say good night to you when I am done, bye!"

After knowing the name of the female classmate, Xu Muqin's voice became more cheerful.

"Bye-Bye."

After hanging up the voice call, Shi Yining looked at the phone speechlessly and shook his head. He really didn't know what the little girl was thinking every day.
