Tokyo: Being coveted by my wife, I just want to play games

Chapter 320 Warm and Big Family

There is a lot to talk about in terms of variety shows, but actually there is not much to talk about.

Kojiro Honda came to the president's office at ten in the morning. At around eleven forty, seeing that Toru Fuyukawa had no intention of keeping him for dinner, he said goodbye and left.

"Is it more troublesome than I thought, or easier than I thought?"

After writing a new plot for World of Warcraft all morning, Dongchuan Che stretched, walked to Yuezhu Asuka, picked up her coffee and took a sip.

Yuezhu Feiniao, who was reading a book, fed a piece of dried fish to the big orange cat snoring on the table, then stroked Xiaobai's head and thought: "It's easier than I thought, but also more troublesome than I thought."

"kindness?"

Dongchuan Che raised his eyebrows at the strange answer.

Yuezhu Feiniao took the coffee from him, took a sip, and said, "The director of a variety show does not have high requirements for photography composition and storytelling skills. For example, the linear narrative, multi-linear narrative, circular narrative, flashback and other technical means commonly used by movie directors are not very necessary for variety shows.

But unlike movie directors, variety show directors need to be more sensitive to market changes and know what the general public wants to watch most. If I have to describe it, movies are more like serious traditional literature, while variety shows are more like modern online literature that entertains the public. The former focuses on self-expression, while the latter focuses on entertaining the public.

Yuezhu Feiniao kept talking, and Dongchuan Che frowned: "Is everything inevitably heading towards mediocrity?"

"Ache also reads Mr. Wang Xiaobo's books?"

Yuezhu Feiniao blinked, and Dongchuan Che smiled and said, "There are only a few people who can read books by contemporary Chinese writers. How could they not have read Mr. Wang Xiaobo's books? Speaking of which, many of his words are quite interesting, such as [You can say I am cheap, but you can't say my love is cheap]. He wrote this sentence in a movie script in the last century, but it was not until more than ten or twenty years later that more and more contemporary young people made the same roar."

"You actually like this one? I thought you liked the other one more."

"kindness?"

"Playing games because you have nothing to do is not much different from masturbating."

"."

The topic suddenly changed from literature to the vulgar world. Dongchuan Che almost spit out his coffee and said with a smile: "Please, the original words were about playing chess, don't change it!"

"Is there any difference? Whether it's playing chess, mahjong or games, the essence is the same, just in a different form."

Yuezhu Feiniao said in a silly and cute way, Dongchuan Che smiled speechlessly: "Okay, okay, if you say so, then so. It's almost time, let's go downstairs to eat. It's all because of someone who went out racing early in the morning, so I can't have lunch at noon."

Yuezhu Feiniao leaned his little head back, resting it on the soft dragon's nest that was gradually waking up, and said, "What? I didn't expect a little wild cat to suddenly run out at that time, otherwise there would be no problem with that kind of bend, okay."

"Okay, okay, I know you're a super awesome female biker. But don't do that after your leg heals. Chika, why are you here, Minami-san?"

Pushing Yuezhu Asuka's wheelchair, Dongchuan Che smiled and teased. But just as the two of them walked to the door, the door was pushed open, and Ohara Chika, wearing a black and white OL uniform, pushed the door open and walked in. Behind her, there was another woman with a face that was similar to hers, but much older, and with an afro.

"Hey! Xiaodongchuan, Yuezhu-chan, long time no see!"

The woman named Chiaki Minami didn't feel like an elder at all. Instead, she greeted Fuyukawa Che and Yuezhu Asuka with a giggle.

Seeing her nonsensical look, Ohara Chika looked at Dongchuan Che with a frown on her face, "This guy just came over suddenly and said he wanted to talk about the World of Warcraft script."

"That's it."

Dongchuan Che nodded and looked at Chiaki Minami. There was a little surprise in his eyes, but not too much.

Chiaki Minami is the cousin of Ohara Chika. Since the Ohara and Chiaki families are very close, she has a pretty good relationship with Ohara Chika. However, compared to Ohara Chika's elegant and dignified personality, Chiaki Minami's personality seems very eccentric.

She is already 45 or 46 years old this year, but because she loves to play, she just got married last year and had a child. Her husband is a frustrated middle-aged writer.

Honestly, Dongchuan Che had a good impression of Chiaki Minami. Although she had a carefree personality and an exaggerated image, with an afro that looked like Kobe when he first debuted, she was a nice person. She was the typical person who didn't have much brains, but was warm-hearted and treated her family and friends well.

Because she has a good relationship with Ohara Chika, and she even came to her house to celebrate the New Year, Fuyukawa Tetsu and her are also half-old acquaintances. In addition, her "brother-in-law" is a frustrated middle-aged writer, so during the New Year, Fuyukawa Tetsu took the initiative to talk about this aspect, saying that he could take a look at the script written by her brother-in-law. And it is obvious that Chiaki Minami came here this time for this matter.

Thinking of this, Dong Chuan Che smiled and said, "Where's my brother-in-law? Why didn't he come?"

"Zhengxiong has a cold and is afraid of infecting you, but he's also afraid of missing the opportunity, so he asked me to come here first."

Chiaki Minami said this a little nervously.

Seeing her expression, combined with the weak and unconfident man he met a few months ago, Dongchuan Che smiled and said, "Okay, let's have lunch together. We can have a good chat later."
.
Warm spring sun.

It was a little after noon at the Heavy Gunner music restaurant in Akihabara.

"The four-grid hotpot should have more spiciness in the tornado butter, and more mushrooms in the clear soup pot."

"Okay Mr. Fuyukawa."

"Look at the rest, Xiaokui. Just give me some more fatty beef. Oh, and I want sesame sauce."

"Hehe, hot pot with sesame sauce, the stinky uncle really has a strong taste!"

"Mr. Che, you can't just look at a girl's butt."

"."

Because of its many collaborations with Toru Fuyukawa, there are advertisements for Heavy Gunner Music Restaurant in games such as "Diver Dave", "Fate" and "Stardew Valley". Now Heavy Gunner Music Restaurant has almost become a check-in spot in the second dimension. Now it has also opened a branch in Akihabara. But what's interesting is that the waiters in the Shibuya store are all fashionable girls, while the waiters in this Akihabara store are all maids.

It was quite interesting. After handing the menu to Izumi Himawari and Sayoko next to him, Fuyukawa Che also glanced at the short skirt of the maid who ran to get the pot base.

It's not that I'm lascivious, I just think the model of this maid music hotpot city is quite interesting, but it is obvious that the women in the family don't think so.

Feeling the menacing gazes of the women, Dongchuan Che rolled his eyes and smiled, then opened the window and lit a cigarette. While flipping through the script in his hand, he smiled at Chiaki Minami, who was sitting opposite him and next to Ohara Chika, and said, "You've written such a thick script in just two months. It seems that my brother-in-law has been working hard during this period."

"Yes, he has been staying up late writing until 2 or 3 o'clock every day recently, and he has a lot more white hair!"

"Is that so? Then let me take a look first."

Dongchuan Che nodded, and then began to look at the script seriously.

In the game "World of Warcraft", he not only wanted to improve the graphics, but also the plot. Because in his opinion, the subsequent plot of "World of Warcraft" has gone astray, and the plot of the next few expansion packs of this game is just changing maps to fight monsters.

However, with each version update, the map of World of Warcraft seems to be getting bigger and bigger, but the plots and characters that players can remember are getting fewer and fewer. Even the players themselves don’t look forward to the plot anymore, they just think about the new mounts, new equipment and new skills in the new version.

This is what is called "big but shallow".

To be honest, this change doesn't matter for ordinary games, because the first driving force of the game is the sense of superiority, and the plot is not the most important. But this is the watershed between masterpieces and mediocre works.

He, Dongchuan Che, wanted to make "World of Warcraft" a super masterpiece. He wanted to make this game into a "real second world", and the first step was to change the plot.

He didn't want to make "World of Warcraft" into another [old-fashioned fairy tale novel] where players have to upgrade to change maps and fight monsters, but in the end players can't even remember the names of the villains. Instead, he wanted to make a group fantasy epic like "A Song of Ice and Fire".

It's very difficult.

On the one hand, the amount of content is too large, and on the other hand, he does not have enough time.

Therefore, at the end of last year, he issued a [Call for Recruitment] on the GOGO platform, recruiting the world's top authors to write plots for World of Warcraft.

The treatment is very good, plus Dongchuan Che is famous, there are too many authors submitting their works. But on the one hand, those real top authors are actually very rich, and they write stories based more on their own interests. On the other hand, the [Call for Recruitment] was only issued less than a month ago, and it is not easy to conceive a plot with such a grand background.

but
It’s hard to say what will happen after a while, after all, the conditions offered by Dongchuan Che are too good.

Chiaki Minami also understood this. While she was putting frozen tofu into the hot pot, she looked at Fuyukawa Tetsu nervously. Ohara Chika next to her rolled her eyes and said, "Why are you so nervous? When you got married, didn't you say that you wouldn't mind even if your brother-in-law became a minor writer for the rest of his life?"

"Girl, I don't remember raising you to be such a mean woman!"

Chiaki Minami nodded Ohara Chika's little head fiercely, and seeing this scene, Yuezhu Asuka, Sato Fujiko, Miyano Midori and others beside them all laughed secretly.

Ohara Chika usually showed herself elegant and dignified, except when she was in private with Dongchuan Che. But this was the first time they had seen her being educated like a little sister.

It's quite interesting, but it's obvious that Chika Ohara has a very good relationship with this cousin. She just glanced at him speechlessly and muttered, "What do you mean by me being mean? These are obviously what someone said themselves."

"Bah~Gah~I admit, I really don't care whether Zhengxiong has money in the future. The money I earn from drawing comics is enough to support him for eight lifetimes, but this is his hard work!"

Qianqiu Minami also glared at him, but then lowered her head and whispered, "You are such a ruthless girl. You didn't even bring your man home to visit during the Chinese New Year. Tsk tsk tsk, you two are a weird couple. One of you has a bad temper, and the other one has a harem openly. You even dare to wish your harem's parents a happy new year. You are so fierce. If Nanako hadn't told me, "Sister's man took the initiative to wish his parents a happy new year," I would never have dared to believe it. Ahem, I won't say any more. Let's eat."

"Wait! You just said that Che contacted my parents first?!" "Huh? Cough cough, I think I said something wrong again. Hey, there's a phone call, I'll go answer it first."

Chiaki Minami was speaking without restraint, and when she saw the shocked expression on Ohara Chika's face, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, and quickly tried to explain herself, then ran out pretending to make a phone call. But Ohara Chika was no longer in the mood to pay attention to her, she just turned around and stared at Fuyukawa Che blankly, with a twinkle in her elegant and dignified eyes.

To be honest, although she attributed all her misfortunes to her parents when she was a child, after all, if her strict parents had not forced her to go to a study class during the typhoon, the subsequent events would not have happened. But as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water, and that was an accident after all, she also knew that her parents definitely did not want her to experience all this.

After so many years, she had already let go of her parents in her heart, but once a rift occurs, it will never be perfectly healed. Moreover, the experiences over the years have shaped her into a person with a personality similar to Yuezhu Feiniao, who does not like to speak actively or show her emotions.

It is easy to break the mountain, but it is difficult to break the heart.

The hardest hurdle for people to overcome is the one in their own heart.

During the Chinese New Year this year, she certainly wanted to bring Dong Chuan Che home to visit. Who wouldn't want to be together during the Chinese New Year? But on the one hand, she didn't know how to ask her parents, and on the other hand, she didn't know how to ask Dong Chuan Che. After all, she knew her parents' old-fashioned personalities. Even if they felt that they owed her a lot, they would definitely not treat Dong Chuan Che well.

It was difficult to handle, but she never expected that it was Dongchuan Che who took the initiative to visit her parents.

Admittedly, strictly speaking, this is what Dongchuan Che should do, but... there are too many things in this world that are taken for granted but do not actually happen, especially in the world of love.

"This guy really likes to do things that touch people's hearts. He is really a playboy!"

Looking at Toru Fuyukawa lowering his head to look at the script seriously, and then letting Sayoko hold the napkin for him, Chika Ohara complained in her heart, but at the same time, her eyes became red and her nose felt sore.

At this moment, Chiaki Minami, who had just finished a phone call, poked her head in from the doorway, and after seeing that Ohara Chika didn't seem to be in a bad mood, she happily ran back.

Seeing this, Ohara Chika lowered her head and sniffed lightly, then glared at her gently, "Are you done with the call?"

"Ahem, it's over, it's over."

Seeing that Chika Oohara showed no signs of losing her temper, her cousin Minami Chiaki tiptoed to sit down. The two sisters didn't notice that Yuezhu Asuka, who had been reading quietly in the corner, glanced at Chika Oohara calmly, with a thoughtful expression flashing in her cold big eyes, but after a while, she lowered her head and continued reading.

It must be said that when a large group of women come out to eat, the atmosphere is indeed easy to liven up. Soon, as the hot pot was boiling and bubbling, a group of women also opened up their chatterboxes, chatting about this and that while cooking various ingredients.

It was not until Sayoko put a piece of beef dipped in peppercorns into Dongchuan Che's bowl that Dongchuan Che closed the manuscript and raised his head.

"This work of my brother-in-law"

"how is it going?"

When talking about her husband, cousin Chiaki Minami immediately stopped picking up meat with her chopsticks and looked at Fuyukawa Tetsu with expectation. Fuyukawa Tetsu shook his head helplessly, "Let me be frank, the plot is well written, but the overall style is too dark and bloody. This world view is not a problem for single-player games, but online games require players to immerse themselves in the game for a long time, and if the atmosphere they feel is always dark and depressing, players may feel uncomfortable."

My brother-in-law's script is actually quite well written.

For the script invitation for World of Warcraft this time, although Dong Chuanche was prepared to find someone else to write it and was also prepared to change the plot, he was a WoW player for more than ten years in his previous life. He definitely didn't want to change the game beyond recognition, whether it was the invasion of the Burning Legion or Arthas becoming the Lich King, etc., he had to keep all the plots.

The plot changes are mainly to strengthen the NPC's personality on the basis of the original work, and to write it in a more adult-oriented way, making it more interesting.

For example, the plot of Arthas becoming the Lich King, the overall trend of this plot is [Prince Arthas, who is kind-hearted and loves his name like a son, was forced to massacre all the people in Stratholme in order to save the world. On the way, he was provoked by the dreadlord and embarked on a road of no return. He went to the North Pole and pulled out Frostmourne. In the end, the Alliance and the Horde united to fight against the enemy.]

Throughout the whole story, Arthas is just a naive person. Lordaeron, one of the seven kingdoms in human history, to which Arthas belongs, does not look like a top kingdom at all. Moreover, when the Alliance and the Horde united to fight against the Scourge, their performance was more like the kind of personal heroism in some costume dramas where the emperor is completely above the scholar-official class, does not need to balance forces at all, hates evil and is wholeheartedly dedicated to the people.

The Alliance and the Horde are mortal enemies who have fought bloody battles for many years. Even the Alliance and the Horde themselves are the result of the union of different races. Although the Alliance and the Horde have the same interests in order to survive because of the natural disaster, has no one really considered their own future?
Are all the high-ranking rulers really willing to fight to the death for the sake of "for the Alliance" and "for the Horde" without caring about anything else, not caring if their own forces suffer heavy losses in this battle and are eventually wiped out?
Of course, this kind of plot can also be written. This is a typical story of personal heroism under a grand narrative. All supporting characters have no personal interests or thoughts of their own. Everything revolves around a certain righteousness or a certain game protagonist.

This kind of story also has an audience, and it is very passionate. It can even be said that the screenwriter of World of Warcraft deliberately designed it this way, because there is a lot to write about the plot of the brainless roar taking power, and this kind of plot can best reflect the multi-faceted personality of the character, but Blizzard did not focus on writing it, and even simplified the plot into a binary opposition between good and evil.

There is nothing wrong with writing like this, but the problem is that because the supporting characters have no interests of their own, the subsequent plot is difficult to unfold because there are no contradictions or conflicts.

When all races in Azeroth are pacifists, there will be no conflict, and without conflict, there will be no way to write a story about Azeroth. In other words, no one will enter the dungeon to be the boss!
The original Warcraft game ran into this problem, so the only way to do it was to constantly upgrade the maps and add villain bosses that players didn't even know what they were, but were praised by the screenwriters as being very powerful. As a result, players no longer looked forward to the plot, and their sense of immersion in the game was greatly reduced.

Toru Fuyukawa hopes that the "World of Warcraft" he is writing will be more complex, more adult, and more like the epic group storyline of "A Song of Ice and Fire".

The characterization of the brother-in-law is fine, even very good, but the plot is too bloody and dark.

It was even more exaggerated than those dark and cruel comics of Berserk that he had read in his previous life. However, the character creation and plot creation capabilities shown in this manuscript were indeed very good.

Seeing her cousin Chiaki Minami hanging her head and completely depressed, Fuyukawa Che thought for a moment and said, "I really can't use this manuscript directly, but there is still a chance to revise it. How about this, I happen to be going to Shonan to record a program for a few days, and you and your brother-in-law can come over then, and we can talk in person."

"Eh! Really?!"

My cousin Chiaki Minami suddenly became excited again. Dongchuan Che picked up a piece of beef, dipped it in sesame sauce, and said with a smile: "Of course, I have no reason to lie to you about this."

"Yes! That's great! Qianhua, you really found a good husband!"

"."

Chika Ohara was inexplicably hugged and kissed by her cousin, and she was upset again.

After arguing with her cousin for a while, she was about to say something, but she saw Yuezhu Feiniao, who was still reading a book next to Dongchuan Che, eating a bite of frozen tofu and taking a sip of beer.

I wanted to say something, but after hesitating, I didn't say anything.

At this moment, Yuezhu Feiniao slowly raised his head.

Their eyes met, and the next moment, under Ohara Chika's surprised gaze, Yuezhu Asuka poked Dongchuan Che's arm and said, "Let Chika-chan accompany me during the recording of the show."

"kindness?"

Dongchuan Che was stunned and looked at Yuezhu Asuka in confusion. If Yuezhu Asuka asked Miyano Mitsuba to accompany her, he could understand it. After all, Yuezhu Asuka was doing serious work for the first time, and she would definitely be happier to have a good partner who was knowledgeable and could chat, but Ohara Chika was in charge of finance.

Not only Dongchuan Che was a little surprised, but Sayoko and the other girls who were eating were also a little surprised.

Under Ohara Chika's complicated and grateful gaze, Yuezhu Asuka shrugged, poked the frame covered with white mist with her fingers, and sniffed her runny nose due to the spicy hot pot, "Chika-chan is also learning kendo, and I will also need rehabilitation exercises after the plaster is removed. Besides, wouldn't you be happier to spend your honeymoon at the beach with two beautiful women? Speaking of which, you two haven't had much chance to be alone since you got together, so you can have a great time this time."

"!"

"!"

"! Cough cough cough~"

Yuezhu Feiniao was still speaking in a cute and adorable manner, but her words stunned everyone present.

Especially Ohara Chika, she only dared to lower her head to eat tripe, not daring to look up, but her cheeks that had completely turned red revealed her thoughts. To be honest, after knowing Fuyukawa Tetsu for two years and breaking through the last level, strictly speaking, the two of them did not have many opportunities to be alone.

On the one hand, it was because there were many women in Tokawa Tetsu's company, and on the other hand, it was because he was busy with work before, and she, as the Minister of Finance, had to stay in the base camp and would not go out occasionally like Miyano Mitsuko and Sato Fujiko to discuss business with other companies.

In fact, she also longed for the opportunity to be alone with Dongchuan Che. She was about to speak just now, but when she thought that this was Yuezhu Feiniao's first opportunity to work seriously, she didn't want to affect Yuezhu Feiniao's good memories. But she didn't expect Yuezhu Feiniao to take the initiative to speak!
I was shocked, but more of it was anticipation and excitement!
Chika Ohara was feeling expectant and excited, and so was Toru Fuyukawa.

The seaside, blue sky and white clouds, a villa, a bikini barbecue, and two beautiful girls, which man would not be confused after hearing this!

However, just as a smile and anticipation appeared on his face, a small hand grabbed the flesh on his waist.

"Humph, just imagining can make a dragon rise up, the stinky uncle is really lewd!"

There was a hint of jealousy in the words of the little girl Izumi Himawari, but her tone was more teasing. Dongchuan Che did not stop her little hand, but just coughed twice, "This is not a question of whether it is a big dragon or not, the key is that I want to see the sea a little bit."

"Look at the sea? I think you want to taste the sea, uncle!"

"."

"Hahaha, it's been a long time since I saw Che get humiliated."

"It turns out that only Xiaokui can control this guy."

"If you go, take precautions. I don't want to shoulder the double burden of the marketing and finance departments in a month."

"You are not allowed to use the same little balloon as me!"

"Come on, Ah---Mr. Che, you should eat more lobsters to replenish your body."

"Bah~ga~ It only takes half an hour to get to Shonan by subway, please stop acting like I'm going abroad!"

After being teased by several women, Dongchuan Che was completely stunned, puffing out his beard and glaring, and his appearance instantly made the atmosphere in the box more lively.
