They wanted to make a trashy game, but how come it sold like hotcakes again?

Chapter 46 I Want to Be a Movie Player



Chapter 46 I Want to Be a Movie Player

Today is Tang She's first day moving into Ren Wei's house, and it's also the day for the Fall Guys to settle accounts.

Tang She lay in bed unable to sleep, unsure of what to do, and forced himself to stay awake until the early hours of the morning when the settlement was due.

It was 11:59 p.m.

Tang She lay in Ren Wei's guest room, the door locked, and picked up his phone, which was telling time, to turn off the alarm.

He took a deep breath and summoned the system light screen that only he could see.

The clock struck midnight precisely.

[Congratulations, host, on your successful advancement.]

[Game draw in progress...]

[The Invisible Guardian Rating: 9.4]

Seeing "The End" surpass a million sales, and with similar films and games emerging one after another, one can only lament that it was born at the wrong time.

The plot is good, but the PowerPoint presentation format makes it a bit difficult to keep up.

[Actually, it's ten points, but they're scored separately.]

The system game refreshed, and Tang She's chaotic thoughts calmed down.

The positive reviews reveal a lot. First, this game is a movie-based game, and its quality seems to be even higher than that of "The End," which has sold over a million copies. Otherwise, people wouldn't say that it was released at the wrong time.

Tang She's world also has games and shadows, so he can understand how the game works.

But there has never been a work in this world that has sold millions of copies.

Even the best film and game titles only sold a little over 100,000 copies.

Therefore, he couldn't even imagine what a million-level sales volume meant.

Neutral and negative reviews are much harder to understand.

What does the format of PPT mean?

Does the screen freeze like a slideshow or something else?

Why does a video game sometimes freeze like a slideshow?

Negative reviews are equally difficult to understand.

What does it mean to give it separately?

However, Tang She felt that this comment was most likely not about the game content. Given the precedent of Fall Guys, Tang She thought it was probably just another trick by the game company.

[Overcooked Kitchen: Everything is delicious. Rating: 9.1/10]

[I'd heard so much about Overcooked, but after actually playing it, I realized it's just a meme. Couples can still have a lot of fun playing it together. If someone breaks up because of this game, then they should break up.]

[Your game is really fun, but could you please get a different potato? It's amazing that even using a VPN didn't help.]

[It's not fun. All the levels only take about ten hours, and the game lacks originality. It's just the same gameplay with a different skin, an endless rehash.]

Judging from the reviews, it seems to be another game similar to Fall Guys.

Although this game may be good, the market is already saturated, and people who like this type of game have all gone to buy Fall Guys.

I don't think making a game of the same type would sell well.

However, both games have very high ratings. Will I have to rely on my talent to choose a low-rated game again?

[The Magic Mirror 2. Rating: 3.6]

[Wanted to go ashore but ended up in the grave. Actually, the game quality was pretty good; I could understand if they hadn't said there was no 18+ content, but there are no "what ifs."]

This game doesn't have the kind of content you're imagining.

[The first cyber-honey trap for young people.]

amount……

If he dares to lead a group of people to make adult videos, then the senior will definitely kill him.

And she's the kind of person who pretends to be 18+ when she's not...

The adjective "cyber honey trap" is far too apt.

The drawbacks of option two are those, but option one is equally unreliable.

No matter how you look at it, it's just too outrageous for a movie or game to sell over a million copies.

Tang She could never have imagined such a scene.

So, shall we make Overcooked Kitchen?

Wouldn't that make all those claims on the internet completely true?

At this moment, Tang She remembered the resentful looks he received from his colleagues.

After the release of the Zelda trailer, both groups were curious about what the first group was up to.

So Tang She showed them the proposal.

Since then, their work efficiency has been greatly improved. They work overtime every day to finish their own work and then go to help another group.

But doing it this way all the time isn't a good idea.

Another advantage of film and game is that they do not require high-level technical support; most of the quality of the game is reflected in the plot and the actors' performances.

If we choose this option, the people in Group Two can wholeheartedly help Group One, and we can just spend a few days wrapping things up at the end.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang She still chose the game.

With the issue of advancing to the next level still a concern, Tang She doesn't think he can recoup his investment in two family-friendly games in a row.

After all, the current judgment is much stricter than it was at level one.

How much money can a movie or game cost? Even if sales are bad, it should still make a profit in the end, right?

Tang She was stunned when he chose the first game and was presented with conditions that left him speechless.

[Current Development Team: To be added. Estimated Investment: 30 million. Under evaluation...]

[Development period required for "Invisible Guardian": 100 days. Estimated sales revenue: 200 million. System settlement time: 30 days.]

?

What happened to the promise of low investment and high returns?

An investment of 30 million yielded a return of 200 million?

Where can I steal it for you?

Tang She picked up the proposal, ready to see how the money would be spent.

The first paragraph silenced him completely.

Recommended male lead: Zhang Mingyuan.

Recommended actresses: Su Wanxin, Jiang Zhi, Nakamura Yui, Zhou Ruohan.

These names are household names, practically legendary.

The male lead's role even made him the youngest actor to win a Best Actor award.

As for Yui Nakamura, although I'm not familiar with her, I've heard she's considered a national sweetheart.

It's just too hard to break down.

Given the system's casting choices, let alone 30 million, even adding another zero wouldn't be enough.

Feeling like he was about to faint, Tang She turned to the second page.

Things have returned to normal here, and it's become like the script for the Invisible Guardian.

Tang She flipped through the pages.

The story roughly tells how the game's protagonist, Xiao Tu, becomes an undercover agent infiltrating the enemy's ranks under the organization's arrangement.

The game's story revolves around Xiao Tu's choices, ultimately leading to different endings.

Tang She silently finished reading the script, then sighed deeply.

The script for this game is completely different from traditional film and game scripts.

Traditional film and game scripts focus more on elements such as suspense, mystery, and romance simulation.

This script focuses entirely on the story during the espionage period. Although there is a romantic subplot, it is only a minor element.

The four different endings, approached from different angles, showcased the cruelty and tragedy of the battlefield behind enemy lines.

But when Tang She saw the line "For Whom the Bell Tolls," he felt a strong surge of emotion.

We have to make this game no matter what.

Whether it's sales or reputation, since Tang She has seen it, he naturally won't let it go.

If the system task fails, so be it. Just treat this game as a way to remember those martyrs.

Tang She was so excited that he wanted to share the script with his senior. His hands were trembling with excitement.

He believed that once his senior read the script, she would also be moved by it and agree to make it into a film.
