A game, as long as the degree of freedom is high enough, there are many ways to play.

Just like scumbags and scumbags - as long as they are open enough, there are many poses that can be unlocked.

The game War of Mine is a sandbox game. What are the characteristics of a sandbox game?

It's a super high degree of freedom!

In Li Shixin's time and space, sandbox games can be said to flourish. Don't talk about Dyson Ball Project and the like, just talk about the game Minecraft.

It's obviously just a construction sandbox game, but in the end, the players came up with 10,000 tricks. Some players even took this game as the basic material and made a movie called The Three-Body Problem.

The compatibility of this kind of sandbox game is the super high degree of freedom.

So the idea of ​​using a game to tell a movie-level story was actually born before Li Shixin decided to make a game.

The expansion pack Father's Promise also left a deep impression on Li Shixin.

Originally, there were two expansion packs in the War of Mine game, one was The Last Broadcast and the other was Father's Promise.

The contents of these two expansion packs have nothing to say, and they both have quite good performances in terms of storytelling.

But compared to The Last Broadcast, Father's Promise is closer to the expression form of the movie, and it is also sharper in terms of showing war.

More importantly, its plot is actually not long.

It can be described as short and lean!

It is a story that is very suitable for film and television adaptation.

It is precisely because of these reasons that Li Shixin decided to copy out this expansion pack as the second shot of War of Mine spreading internationally!

in the studio.

It took Li Shixin less than three hours to explain the production process and storyline of the expansion to Chu He and others.

In fact, the story is nothing.

Roughly speaking, after the outbreak of the war, the protagonist Adam made a series of adventure stories in order to protect his daughter Emilia in the war.

In terms of game flow, it is mainly divided into three parts. That is the base camp of the game, seven chapters of plot trigger maps and several chapters of pure exploration maps.

Mr. Li, isn't this story too short? If you follow your design, veteran players of the game can even clear the expansion within two hours if they are familiar with the game's operations.

Hearing that Li Shixin finished constructing the context of the expansion, Chu He bit the ballpoint pen and hesitated, Why don't we add more to the plot?

That's right, Mr. Li. After all, the previous games didn't charge any fees. The expansion packs now charge fees, but the plot is so short, players will say that we are cheating money.

No need.

Seeing the worried looks of a group of young people in the studio, Li Shixin chuckled and gave his reasons.

You made the game by yourself, and you should know the mechanics of the game better than anyone else. That's why you feel the length of the game is short.

But most players don't know that this is a sandbox game after all. In the process of exploration, they will continue the habits and thinking of the previous games, which makes it easy to take some detours and even miss some key plot points.

So for most ordinary players, the actual game time will not be too short. Besides.

Li Shixin smiled lightly.

Originally, the significance of our expansion pack is to tell a story based on this framework. If the setting is too complicated and the player's attention is still on keeping the game characters alive, then the expansion pack will lose its meaning.

Hearing his explanation, Chu He and the others nodded after wondering for a while.

Well, what Mr. Li said is also reasonable. After all, we still need to take care of the public players. Then let's do this first? Mr. Li will come out with the script, and then we will immediately start production according to the script.

good.

Seeing everyone's ready attitude, Li Shixin frowned.

correct.

What else is there for Mr. Li?

This time, the foreign language version of the game must be done well. It is best to find some professional translators, and the lines of the game must be accurate. Treat the game as a movie, and treat every character as an actor.

Okay, don't worry, Mr. Li, I will contact the translation studio in a while and contact them immediately!

After arranging everything properly, Li Shixin nodded slightly as he watched Chu He and the others carry out the execution.

Not to mention anything else, the group of young people in the studio are still very strong in execution.

It's much more refreshing than my godsons who have nothing to do and have to spur them!

With the finalization of the development plan, Huruan Studio started working again.

In the next few days, Li Shixin planned to polish the expansion pack with Chu He and others in the studio.

However, Li Shixin, who has been obsessed with game development these days, forgot a very important thing.

It has been a full month since The Wandering Earth was released.

The one-month release period ends on October 2nd, and the final box office of the second part of The Wandering Earth has come to an end.

5.2 billion! The Wandering Earth once again broke the record for the highest box office in China!

The release period of The Wandering Earth is over, and the final result is ruthless! The domestic box office record has doubled, and 5.2 billion has cast an immortal throne!

The upper and lower parts of The Wandering Earth dominate the charts! They are the top two in domestic history with 5.2 billion and 3.4 billion respectively. The third place Monster Hunt is 2.4 billion, which is hard to beat!

The final box office of The Wandering Earth has settled, and the domestic film market has opened a new chapter!

As the overwhelming news dominated the major entertainment pages, Li Shixin also received a call from Li Juan.

Obviously, the 5.3 billion box office is of great significance to Huaqi.

But what is even more obvious is that the film and television company, which has made a total of 300 million investment in the first and second parts of The Wandering Earth, earned 8.6 billion box office and nearly 3.5 billion in profits, still wants to reach a higher peak.

Godfather, we have already applied to Guangdian to extend the key period, and a new round of box office hits is ready. You have to cooperate with whatever you say this time!

Li Shixin has been paying attention to the box office of The Wandering Earth recently.

Achieved five billion achievements, Li Shixin is not happy is fake. But he is actually indifferent to the fact that the extension of the key period depends on the box office.

But having said that, it is always right to make more money.

No one has a grudge against money.

Right?

Extend the key period and you can operate it. Do I still need to come forward in person? I am very busy making games here now.

Godfather, if it's a general publicity campaign, I wouldn't dare to trouble your old man. But what's the situation now? The box office of The Wandering Earth in China has exceeded 500 million, and basically the market potential we can tap has been tapped to the end Yes, audiences who like this theme have basically watched it, and audiences who don’t like this theme, it’s been a month, and if he doesn’t want to watch it, we can’t force people into the cinema with guns, right? So the key is extended The key period is just a means, and the company’s real attempt to extend the key period this time is in overseas markets.”

Facing Li Juan's request, Li Shixin frowned.

Again?

Isn't the overseas market already on the street? Why, the American Motion Picture Association is going to adjust the rating?

My godfather, the overseas market is not limited to North America! There is also the Asia-Pacific region including Japan and South Korea! We plan to send the first and second parts of The Wandering Earth to the Busan Film Festival. You must show your face. ?”

Hearing the news, Li Shixin frowned.

oh?

This is interesting!
