Chapter 7 In Order Not to Make Money, Mr. Chen Decided to Participate in the Performance Himself!

Chen She only has a rough idea of ​​the job responsibilities of a Mewtwo editor.

This job can be roughly regarded as a combination of executive planning in games and editing and post-production in movies.

Not only is he responsible for all aspects of Mewtwo production, but he also has a very important responsibility to adjust the emotions that Mewtwo brings to people within a suitable range.

Compared with traditional games, Mewtwo's core advantage lies not only in immersion and substitution, but also in the transmission of emotions.

To make a successful Mewtwo, of course, it is not enough to raise positive emotions as much as possible and reduce negative emotions as much as possible.

Emotions must be adjusted to the right level and then matched with the entire Mewtwo content to achieve the best effect.

It is like the seasoning added when cooking. Too much is not good, and too little is not good.

And the Mewtwo editor is the one who adds seasoning to the meal.

Zhao Zhen walked over and said a few words to Lin Luxi briefly, and then Chen She saw a kind of confusion and surprise in Lin Luxi's watery eyes. The small fleshy hands waved repeatedly, subconsciously trying to refuse.

But this certainly didn't bother Chen She. He convinced her with a few words and she accepted the new position.

Chen She turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Uncle Zhao, go and do your own thing. I'll take care of Mewtwo."

Zhao Zhen nodded, and then briefly told Lin Luxi a few words, and then turned and left.

As an ordinary Mewtwo editor, Lin Luxi had never dealt with Mr. Chen directly before, and was a little nervous at this time.

Chen She said in an approachable manner: "First, tell me briefly about the basic process of Mewtwo production."

Lin Luxi nodded, and then began to introduce the basic process of Mewtwo production and some special uses of the editor in a soft voice.

The overall production process is actually similar to Chen She's previous inference.

In general, there are two major types of Mewtwo. The first is the role-playing Mewtwo, and the second is the experience-based Mewtwo.

The two can be simply corresponded to games and movies.

As the name suggests, the role-playing Mewtwo is to create a Mewtwo space where players can move freely, allowing players to travel through it and freely play the role in it.

Players experience various contents from a first-person perspective and interact with various elements in Mewtwo, with a relatively high degree of freedom.

Experience-type Mewtwo allows the experiencer to bring in a fixed process and emotions, which is equivalent to experiencing an extremely real movie from a first-person perspective. Generally, the experiencer is not allowed to take actions outside the process.

The production of the former is relatively simple. After constructing a world through various resources and setting up interactive elements, the player can be thrown in.

The production of the latter is more complicated. On the basis of the former, Mewtwo actors are also needed.

During the performance, the producer will use specific equipment to collect the actions, emotions and other content of the Mewtwo actors, and instill them into the player's consciousness after editing.

What the player experiences is the real emotion collected by the recording equipment. Although it is edited, it is also a true "empathy".

And this kind of emotional instillation is not without cost.

The completed Mewtwo can be taken to the Internet in the form of pure data, or it can be made into a physical entity and directly put into the game cabin for experience.

But this is not just the difference between the online version and the disc version. They are fundamentally different in the transmission of emotions.

The online version of Mewtwo allows up to 10% of emotions to be transmitted.

Whether it is positive or negative emotions, they can only be adjusted within this range of 10%.

The physical version of Mewtwo can theoretically transmit more than 100% of emotions.

Of course, high percentage of emotion transmission is very dangerous. If the pain is adjusted to 100% or even higher, the player may be killed by pain in Mewtwo, which will cause serious damage to the player's life and health.

Therefore, the relevant laws in the old land have stricter regulations in this regard, generally requiring that negative emotions should not exceed 30%, otherwise they will not pass the review.

Of course, those black Mewtwo circulating underground do not have so many restrictions, so every year there will be news of brain death due to seeking excitement in black Mewtwo.

The reason why the physical version of Mewtwo can achieve such a high emotional transmission effect is that a special substance called "space-time particles" is added when making the physical version of Mewtwo.

In this world, space-time particles are more valuable than gold and crude oil.

It can be used as a high-purity fuel for hovercraft, or mixed with rare metals to create high-strength alloy weapons. It can also be used to make chips and special communication modules.

In short, because of the magical properties of space-time particles, it occupies an important position in almost all high-tech industries in this world.

It is the absolute hard currency that countless consortiums in this world dream of.

The more negative emotions the physical Mewtwo wants to transmit, the more space-time particles need to be added, and the cost will naturally be higher.

For Chen She, the existence of space-time particles is quite unscientific.

It seems to be a derivative substance of the supernatural power in this world, full of mystery.

In addition, the various resources needed to build a virtual world also need to be produced, not without cost.

But due to technological advances, many resources can be bought ready-made, or simply modified, so the production time of Mewtwo is greatly shortened compared to the production time of traditional games.

…

After listening to Lin Luxi's story, Chen She was relieved.

Except for the space-time particles and the transmission restrictions of Mewtwo, which surprised him a little, the other contents were similar to his inference.

The design plan of "Embers Will Go Out" does not need to be changed too much.

Thinking of this, Chen She began to explain the design details of the entire game to Lin Luxi, including the overall story background, the large map settings, and the various props and equipment that players can get after entering.

Lin Luxi listened carefully, blinking her big eyes, like a primary school student who listened to the class seriously.

Chen She was very satisfied with her attitude. He liked this kind of tool person who had no ideas and was easier to control.

Lin Luxi did not raise any questions about most of what Chen She said, until Chen She talked about the negative emotion setting of this Mewtwo.

"Try to increase the negative emotions that this Mewtwo brings to people as much as possible. I am a kind person, so let's adjust it to 25% first!"

Chen She had a compassionate expression.

This value, of course, refers to the value of the physical version of Mewtwo, because the highest value of the online version is only 10%

Lin Luxi was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, 25% is too high. The maximum value allowed by law is only 30%!"

"Now most of the Mewtwo have a common rule that negative emotions should not exceed 5%, otherwise this negative emotion can easily interfere with the player's gaming experience."

Negative emotions include not only pain, but also the frustration brought to players by Mewtwo.

The higher the negative emotions are, the easier it is for players to be persuaded to quit. This is an obvious thing.

The reason why Chen She set the negative emotions so high is, on the one hand, to persuade players to quit, and on the other hand, to allow the physical version of Mewtwo to consume more space-time particles and increase the production cost of the physical Mewtwo.

With double insurance, it is even more difficult to make money.

Chen She did not explain too much, but just smiled slightly: "Our Mewtwo wants to stand out from many Mewtwo, of course, we have to do something amazing."

Lin Luxi nodded with some doubts: "Oh."

Chen She was very happy. She was indeed an obedient girl.

With such a handy tool man, his arrangement for Mewtwo should be able to be smoothly implemented.

After explaining his design plan, Chen She asked: "That's about it. Do you have any other suggestions?"

Lin Luxi thought for a while and said: "Mr. Chen, our company also has Mewtwo recording equipment. Do you want to add some experience-type Mewtwo content to the original design plan?"

Chen She thought about it and felt that what Lin Luxi said made sense!

Yes, you can add a little.

Crossing Mewtwo and experience-type Mewtwo are actually completely compatible and can be mixed together.

For example, you can put the experience-type Mewtwo at the beginning as an introduction, just like the opening CG of many games.

Of course, some more sophisticated producers will have more fancy gameplay, such as interweaving crossing Mewtwo and experience-type Mewtwo, which can achieve better results.

But Chen She doesn't need to play such fancy things at present. He wants to add experience-type Mewtwo content to "Embers Will Go Out" with only one purpose, which is to try to strengthen the dissuasion effect of this Mewtwo at the beginning.

Although he has raised the negative emotional experience of "Embers Will Go Out" to 25%, not every player will carefully check the relevant settings before entering Mewtwo.

If some people enter Mewtwo with a very optimistic and positive attitude to start the challenge, it may greatly reduce the dissuasion effect.

But what if players are allowed to experience an experiential Mewtwo before entering the formal Mewtwo process, and a kind of decadence and giving up is implanted in their consciousness in advance?

That can play the role of "defeating the enemy without fighting" and let players give up as quickly as possible.

Of course, there is also a prerequisite for doing this, that is, you must find a suitable Mewtwo actor.

The actor must first express this more frustrated emotion in his heart, so that the Mewtwo recording equipment can collect it, and it can be passed on to the players after being edited by Lin Luxi.

It is not difficult to find a Mewtwo actor, as long as you spend money, you can find it, but the problem is that Chen She does not want the secrets of the rebels to be exposed, and he wants to avoid outsiders from entering the headquarters of the Chen Group as much as possible.

Moreover, good Mewtwo actors are too expensive, which is a great pressure on Mewtwo's development budget. The responsible persons may not agree.

Chen She thought about it and decided that he could only act as the Mewtwo actor himself.

After all, all the rebels are full of fighting spirit, which does not meet the requirements of this kind of emotion at all.

These people do not have much acting talent, so it is unlikely that they can force them to perform such a depressed and lost emotional state.

Looking at the entire company, the most frustrated and depressed person is only Chen She himself.

After thinking about it, Chen She said: "I will think about this part of the beginning of Mewtwo carefully. You should organize everyone to develop the following content first."

"I will tell you when I have a rough script."

Lin Luxi nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, then I will hold a meeting to arrange work for everyone."

After temporarily arranging the development of "Embers Are Going Out", Chen She currently has two things to consider carefully.

One is how to make the experience-type Mewtwo at the beginning of "Embers Are Going Out", and the other is how to design the low-investment Mewtwo used as a backup.

He had no idea for the time being, so he decided to let Zhang Sirui take him out for a walk and look at the location of the experience store.

Maybe after relaxing, he could get some inspiration?

Moreover, he had been in this world for several days and had not left the headquarters of the Chen Group, so he wanted to go out and take a look.
