The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 103 The end of film and television is a game?

The last one to speak was a 25-year-old young man with disheveled hair, a thin body and thick eyes. Looking at him, Wang Wei couldn't help thinking of the super player who played computer games for days and nights in later generations. appearance.

And his speech is also in line with the personality of the game player.

"The Internet is a mirror that illuminates people's seven emotions and six desires. Future businesses will belong to those businesses that can create joy for people and maximize the release of people's deepest emotions."

"Games are the business that can best meet people's entertainment needs."

Someone frowned: "You mean online games?"

"Correct."

"Then don't you know that the so-called first large-scale online game in China, Liaoyuan Liaoyuan, was sprayed into garbage by players after only half a day on the line? Even if it ate up all the bandwidth, the game characters are still stuck like shadow puppetry ;Normal computer configuration, it runs like a horse-drawn train; the rendered sawtooth and mosaic are comparable to island country AV..."

This was obviously an old driver, causing a burst of laughter.

It is still the era of console games, the online game industry has just started, and the number of products and players is scarce. Developing online games is tantamount to opening up wasteland.

"The Fire of the Prairie Fire" can be called the first large-scale online game in China. However, after its launch, instead of "prairie fire", it was sprayed into shit by players, which greatly damaged the confidence of the online game industry.

The young man also twitched his lips, and said lightly: "I didn't say that I will play large-scale online games at the beginning. It is best to start with small games, such as casual competitive games. This type of game relies on social relationships, and it is very convenient to match with friends. Perfect for our social communication software."

"How to make money? The free model is not profitable, and the paid model is not popular. What are you doing?"

The young man said with a smile: "The biggest charm of the Internet is that there is nothing impossible. After attracting users and setting up some paid props, how can no one fall into the trap?"

"However, in the end, we still have to develop large-scale online games. From the perspective of game depth and playability, large-scale online games have a larger world view and a richer growth line; , are more likely to attract players to buy props.”

With a wave of his hand, he interrupted what someone was about to say, and his voice was much louder: "I know you are going to use "The Fire of the Prairie Fire" as an example again, but don't use your current perspective to look at what will happen in a year or two. world."

"I don't know if you have noticed that the upgrade speed of domestic broadband fixed network has far exceeded the level of previous years, and most of the new Internet users in the past two years use high-speed broadband, which means that the online game market has exploded in an all-round way. , maybe within a few years!"

His words made almost everyone fall into thinking.

At this time, Wang Wei said: "Why do you choose online games? According to what you said, the broadband fixed network has been upgraded, and TV and movies can also be moved to the Internet. Aren't these two entertainment options with the widest audiences?" ?”

Everyone at the scene cast their eyes on Wang Wei, and then on the young man.

As we all know, the big boss of Weibo Technology has another identity - director, well, he is also the boss of a film and television company, how should I answer this?

Suddenly being "named" by the big boss, the young man was obviously a little nervous, and after a pause, he replied, "Because I think that in the Internet age, the end of film and television is also a game."

Wang Wei looked calm and motioned for him to continue speaking.

As if he was encouraged, he calmed down a bit and continued: "To a certain extent, film and television are 'dead'. No matter how developed the worldview is, it is a limited God's perspective. The audience can see everything, but Just look at it."

"But the game is 'live'. In this world, everything is related to the player himself. Even if there is a quest line, the player can still count the stars, watch the scenery, and chat in the virtual world every day regardless of the clues; Even if you can only follow the plot, players can still come back after clearing the level, and use the feeling of death to challenge various difficult gameplay postures..."

This sounds like an old player!

Perhaps because he entered the role, the tension on the young man's body gradually disappeared. When talking about the future, there was an incomprehensible brilliance behind the lens.

"So, with the development of technology, the game has learned from the art of film and television, and gradually completed the transcendence of film and television - in addition to telling a moving story, it can also provide a more immersive interactive experience - It is inevitable."

The rise he said was almost confided in one breath: "Even, the future game may be a virtual world that can be completely faked. This world is realistic enough to deceive all your senses. In it, you can enjoy everything you can imagine. Everything you get — it’s hard to tell if it’s entertainment or reality.”

Lao Wang's eyes widened first, good guy, you are poisoned by a sci-fi movie, right?

Others don't know how to make expressions—although it sounds reasonable, I suspect that you are deceiving investors!
——How can you tell a story!
Only the curvature of Wang Wei's mouth is getting bigger and bigger.

He knew how accurate this young man's deduction was, no, it was even terrifyingly accurate!
In the Internet age, the film and television production that has lasted for a hundred years does seem to be weak in narrative;
Games that can carry more content and technology have shown vigorous vitality.

On the one hand, this difference in vitality is reflected in the ever-increasing overall output value, and on the other hand, film and television creation is increasingly dependent on the game industry, from technology to IP.

People's entertainment mentality has also changed, or entered a new level-from "what to watch", to "whether to watch", and then to "what to play and how to play" in the future.

Even the young man's last dream, which seemed like a dream, is actually becoming a reality step by step, and there is an exclusive name - "Metaverse"!
This is a talent with cross-media imagination!
After crossing, Wang Wei has never found such a talent around him. Old Wang and the others are at best excellent executors. On the contrary, this young man discovered by accident made his eyes shine.

Why does he attach so much importance to "transmedia imagination"?
Because Wang Wei also believes that as technology matures, the boundaries between film and television and games will become more blurred, and they will eventually be integrated.

But this process of conversion and integration requires cross-media imagination.

The "Metaverse" is still too far away—until he wears it, the "Metaverse" is still a concept floating in the sky.

However, the "film game linkage" that was not successful in another time and space can be used as a reference.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei looked at the young man with a smile and said, "If I ask you to be responsible for implementing your ideas, would you dare?"

The young man was straight up stupid.

Let me implement my ideas?Doesn't that mean, let me be in charge of the game business?
But, I just joined the job, you don't even know my name...

　I wish my family a happy National Day holiday~~~
