Chapter 186: The Regret of Unfinished Business (Part 2)

Back at his home, Fang Cheng began to think about what game to do next.

With a light tap on his temple, he pulled out the memory of the haunted house from his mind, like a huge three-dimensional hologram, quietly suspended in mid-air.

Then pinch the memory and flick it, and the memory is dragged out into multiple copies, each of which has a self and a Xu Qingling, cooperating with each other to explore the entire haunted house.

After a while, he understood the composition of the plot in the haunted house, and even figured out the parts that he hadn't played at that time.

The whole haunted house was produced according to a large-scale script. A creative team composed of more than a dozen people continued to explore and interpret, and finally built this huge script with a capacity of 1.4 million words.

It will feel scary when you play it for the first time, but the whole script includes multiple narratives, copy branch selection, different key props, etc., so every time you play, you will have a new experience.

And after that, you will realize the charm of the script, and people can't help feeling that they have spent a lot of effort on the script.

Although he couldn't feel the horror from the ghosts in the haunted house, after savoring the story carefully, Fang Cheng still found something that moved him from the script.

That's another level of powerlessness.

Different from the protagonist in traditional horror haunted houses, the character he plays today is to some extent considered a dragon and phoenix, and he can even chase away demons and ghosts after obtaining some props.

But the subtlety of the plot is here.

Although these protagonists have special powers and can even kill ghosts at times, the fateful curse has existed from the very beginning. The stronger they are, the more they will hurt the people they love, and eventually lead to irreparable death. Tragedy strikes.

They have a strength far beyond that of ordinary people, but this strength cannot help them escape, but instead makes them sink deeper and deeper into the quagmire, and finally despair completely.

Restraining his urge to use Palm Thunder, Fang Cheng looked at the whole script with a slightly stronger attitude, and later found that this powerless person could easily cause emotional fluctuations.

Especially since I already have good strength, but can only achieve bad endings one by one. Even if such a horror game does not have such a scary plot like jumping face to kill, it still makes people feel hopeless and terrifying.

So how about making a game that doesn't have any happy endings at all, just despair?

After searching on the computer, Fang Cheng found that there seemed to be quite a lot of such horror games.

"The Witch's House" is one of the masterpieces. The identity of the protagonist is very special, and no matter which ending means a certain kind of despair.

In the "Silent Hill" series, except for some obviously funny endings, most of the series have almost no good endings.

It is also used a lot in movies. The movie "Mist" is a typical movie that engages in mentality. The ending that makes people sigh is definitely a kind of torture.

After watching related movies and playing related games, Fang Cheng felt that he could already understand the relevant content, but now he encountered a problem.

He was not sure whether he should play such a mind-exploding game.

Although players are always backstabbing him, and then jumping out of his preset gameplay, come up with all kinds of weird ideas, and make the game environment unrecognizable.

They can always start with some small things to show their power, and then connect everyone together to create a bunch of shocking events, each of which is enough to become their own enemy.

The problem is, they're okay sometimes.

I even used the players to do me a few small favors, so it doesn't seem good to torture them with games that play tricks.

Immortals don't like to get too deeply entangled with cause and effect, but they have already had a little relationship with them.

After thinking about it, he still called Teacher Shen, planning to ask Teacher Shen for his opinion.

Before answering Fangcheng's call, Teacher Shen was thinking about whether to get a haircut.

His hair volume has returned to the level of six years ago, and the hairline, which had been retreating steadily, finally held its ground, and then began to counterattack.

His current hair volume is so extravagant that he can get a haircut, but he is not sure if his hair volume will always be so much, he can only look at the hairstyles in magazines and keep getting tangled.

After receiving Fang Cheng's call, Teacher Shen finally stopped worrying about it for the time being, and began to listen to the questions of his proud student.

When Fang Cheng said that he wanted to make a horror game, Teacher Shen interrupted Fang Cheng directly: "Don't do it."

"Why?"

"Although the domestic environment is liberalized, horror games are still somewhat ambiguous. You also know that there is no rating system in China, and all games must be able to be played by everyone. This actually sets a bottom line, that is, your game should be Catering to everyone's needs."

"This is impossible." Fang Cheng asked suspiciously.

"It is true that games cannot satisfy everyone's needs, so the review agency has a relatively loose measurement standard. This standard has not been made public, but according to our inference, this internal review is related to the possibility of the game being complained."

Fang Cheng was taken aback by the new term.

He thought about it carefully, but in the end he couldn't find the relevant memory.

As for Fang Cheng's silence, Teacher Shen knew what was going on.

"The possibility of being complained is established by the review agency itself. It is called differently in different places. It is used to measure the number of times a certain theme or certain elements may be complained. When a game has been complained too many times Then it will be blocked. Of course, the weight of complaints from people of different status is different, and this will also be counted.”

Reminiscent of "Propagating traditional culture starts with me", Fang Cheng probably understands.

"I see."

Teacher Shen nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's good if you can understand. Among them, horror games are almost impossible to play, because they will definitely be complained, and there are many times. What's more, if you do it, I'm afraid you will be complained." God."

"I see."

"However, if you want to do it, there is no way, that is to sell it abroad, and then let domestic players play it through the Internet scientifically, which can basically avoid a lot of trouble. I can help with the relevant qualification certification and procedures. You can rest assured."

This choice made Fangcheng feel feasible.

He has no cause and effect with foreign players, and his basic disk is in China, and he needs domestic players in the final proof.

Then, for some games that I feel are a bit deceitful, I can use foreign players to verify their reactions, and then make adjustments to release them in China.

Therefore, he said to Teacher Shen on the other side of the phone: "Thank you, Teacher Shen."

"You're welcome."

After hanging up the phone, Teacher Shen felt in a good mood.

The students in my family have made rapid progress, but it seems that this old man has not been forgotten. It feels good to be needed.

Just looking in the mirror, he remembered what he was struggling with, and then realized that he should have ordered some tea just now.

Just when he was remorseful, Fang Cheng sent a text message: 【Mr. Shen, I got a batch of tea leaves and will send them to you later. 】

Seeing this text message, Teacher Shen couldn't help but sigh with emotion: What a nice person.

With no worries, he can finally make up his mind and enjoy the feeling of walking into the barber shop with his head held high.

With Teacher Shen's assistance, Fang Cheng was also very happy.

The channel has been resolved, and there are no worries in all aspects. After that, I will use the barbarian to act as a guinea pig, and then experiment with my own ideas.

But the next problem is, he needs a good script.

It’s okay for him to write a few classical Chinese essays. After all, he was selected as a scholar before, and then he didn’t feel that much and didn’t continue, but there is no problem in this regard.

But what he wants is a more exciting script, and a more professional understanding is needed here.

Continuing to search for information, he found that the haunted house has its own prototype, which is a novel with tens of thousands of words.

The main creative team of Haunted House highly respected this novel, and said that the other party's horror novels are the best they have ever seen. They are very honored to be able to adapt this teacher's novel this time.

Following the recommendation of the main creative team, Fang Cheng found the original novel, bought the electronic version and read it, and found that what the main creative team said was true.

The writing style of the original novel is still very immature, but the logic is already very rigorous. This kind of "powerless" sense of tragedy is vividly reflected in the other party's novel. After reading it, let Fang Cheng deduce it by himself, and you will find that judging by the ability of the protagonist in the novel , the ultimate tragedy was almost certain from the start.

However, this book is not yet his peak.

Another series of books is the masterpiece of this unique horror atmosphere, but the number of printed books of this series is very small, and there are no related resources on the Internet, which makes Fang Cheng feel a little regretful.

But after looking at the other party's name, Fang Cheng felt that there were still some opportunities.

The person who wrote this set of books is none other than one of his enemies, Tang Mo.

He still remembers what the other party did in "The Unknown", a historical simulation game in which sending letters suffered, and was made into a time-traveling novel by the other party. He still remembers this incident vividly.

Tang Mo himself is a well-known historical web writer, but he did not expect that the other party had written such a set of books before and published them.

After thinking about it, Fang Cheng still found the pass ID of the other party, and then left a message for the other party.

On the other side, Tang Mo was still immersed in "No. 1 in the World", reading and drinking with the No. 1 storyteller in the world, living happily.

It was getting late, and he hadn't finished updating today, so he could only reluctantly say goodbye to the world's number one storyteller, and then left here, returning to the passport world.

He wanted to quit here, but he saw his little Mukui walking over holding a letter, and the identity of the letter writer surprised him a bit.

"Fangcheng...strange, why is the producer writing to me?"

After reading the letter in doubt, Tang Mo became even more confused.

The other party actually wanted to buy the adaptation rights.

Before writing online articles, he wrote physical books, and he did write a series of books.

When I was writing the manuscript, the publishing house went crazy and asked him to write a particularly desperate series.

Originally, he didn't want to care about this unreasonable demand.

But they give way too much.

2,000 yuan per 1,000 words, and the sharing fee will be calculated separately. As long as the content is dark enough, scary enough and desperate enough, the publisher will pay as much as he writes.

There is no other way, Tang Mo can only write.

He first wrote a novella to test the waters, and it was well received. This novella was later adapted into a haunted house, which is the version that Fang Cheng played.

In order to make money, he simply wrote a long novel, and the content of the book became more and more desperate, and the money became more and more.

But after a while, he felt tired.

The words written for money are awkward no matter how you look at them, especially the emotions contained in the words are not what he wants, which makes writing manuscripts a kind of torture.

However, just when he was about to change his style and make everything have a happy ending through the ending, the publisher suddenly stated that the contract was terminated and we could not continue.

The previous few books were published hastily and then there was no more content. I only had a framework for the final ending. I thought this set of books would disappear together with my dark history, but I didn't expect that Fang Cheng found it.

Fate, really wonderful.

As one of the people who know Fangcheng best, Tang Mo likes "The Nameless" very much, and thinks that his way of playing as a traverser is one of the correct ways of solving problems in the game.

Now, after receiving Fang Cheng's email, he feels that he and Fang Cheng are soulmates, and his old books are taken by the other party.

So, he quickly replied: "Yes, the publishing house did not sign the adaptation rights with me, so the adaptation rights are still in my hands. I will send you the full version later."

After finding out the previous electronic version, Tang Mo looked at the electronic version and began to think.

After hesitating for a moment, he put the frame he had conceived before into it, and then sent it to Fang Cheng together.

As for why he did this, he didn't know.

Maybe, he also wants his friend in the heart to help him complete the regret that he failed to complete.
