Chinese Entertainment's Shining Star

Zou Mingming's keyboard was naturally not broken. The failure of the ESC key was undoubtedly the fault of the game production team.

"Is there anything wrong? You can't skip the title sequence. How can players be forced to watch the title sequence? This game team is too overbearing." Zou Mingming thought to himself while pressing ESC in vain, looking a little impatient. After all, waiting He wanted to play the game that he had played for a long time.

However, when the CG animation of the opening credits actually started, Zou Mingming, who had been clicking his fingers, subconsciously stopped.

"Is this a CG animation that can be produced in a domestic game?" Looking at the exquisite and outrageous CG animation on the computer screen, Zou Mingming had an incredible expression on his face.

The animation begins in a fairy mountain. Through layers of clouds and mist, the camera quickly advances into the mountain. As the camera moves, the stones and trees in the picture are almost as real, even under Zou Mingming's careful observation. , the textures of these stones and trees are so vivid and real.

The few cranes that accidentally flew by were also lifelike. When the camera came to the fairy gate in the fairy mountain, the majestic fairy gate and the stone steps that seemed to reach the sky directly shocked Zou Mingming's heart.

Then the palace loft in the Immortal Gate was made to look like a fairyland in terms of layout and momentum. Then the first character in the CG animation finally appeared. Unfortunately, there was only a back view, but the white hair and chic temperament were particularly special. Strikingly, this man just waved his hand gently, and a crimson sword flew out from the sword box behind him, circled around the owner, and then disappeared from sight in an instant.

Then the camera turned, and there was a black-haired boy with a fat chicken or a fat bird on his shoulder. His face was indifferent, and he remained calm in the face of a group of thugs. The next second, he pulled out the hairstyle from behind without hesitation. The strange red sword plunged into the crowd, and the switching of several fast and slow shots vividly demonstrated the young man's cold personality and the swiftness of his swordsmanship.

When the camera finally returned to normal, the group of thugs had all fallen to the ground. With a few close-up shots, Zou Mingming discovered that all of these people had their necks cut off, which made him involuntarily marvel at the swordsmanship of the young man just now.

Then there was another fairyland-like place, with colorful aurora floating in the sky. An extremely beautiful girl was bathed in the aurora, and behind her, there was a giant scythe suspended, which was bigger than the girl herself. Big, a weak girl paired with a rough-looking scythe, the conflicting feeling gives people a particularly eye-catching charm.

In the subsequent animation, characters appeared one after another. The entire CG lasted for one minute. Zou Mingming didn't even blink his eyes and watched the whole process with a surprised attitude.

It wasn't until he entered the game options screen that he came back to his senses from the CG animation just now.

"Is this really the opening animation of a domestic game? Isn't it the opening animation of some AAA masterpiece?" Zou Mingming did not enter the game immediately because his mind was still filled with the exquisite CG animation that surprised him.

It's not that this CG animation has exceeded his knowledge, but he can't believe that domestic games will also have such world-class CG effects, not only the vegetation, mountains, rocks, clouds, water and sky, but also the characters' skins All the questions have a sense of reality, and the movements of the characters in the CG animation are not stiff at all, they are very natural, just like real people doing the movements.

To be able to make such CG, you must have a super powerful special effects team to grasp all kinds of data and restore reality.

But I haven’t heard of any domestic stand-alone game production team that has such powerful technology?

In fact, this CG animation is indeed not the work of Zhang Yijun’s team, and even the production cost of this CG animation is not included in the game production fee. This one-minute CG animation is actually a work of PO Thunder Special Effects Company. .

In the past two years since Nie Wei acquired this company, he has invested no less than one billion Chinese coins in it, and the technical level of PO Thunder Special Effects Company has also improved rapidly. Unknowingly, it has caught up with the world's mainstream The lineup of the special effects team.

And this CG short film is a very good proof.

However, this CG short film, which has been able to shock Chinese gamers, still did not achieve the goal that Nie Wei wanted. So at the beginning of this year, Nie Wei invested another 500 million in this company to continue to update their technology to support The next movie he's about to shoot.

This is also Nie Wei's first blockbuster movie in the true sense. He naturally wants perfect special effects. Anyway, Nie Wei doesn't want to wait until the movie is released and a group of people on the blog will complain that the special effects of this movie only cost 50 cents and cannot be used again. Many words like that.

Zou Mingming didn't know what Nie Wei was thinking. He only knew that this short CG short film made him very satisfied. He even re-entered the game specifically for this reason. But this time he made a new discovery. It turned out that This special effects short film is only available for the first time

It will be forced to watch when you enter the game. When you enter the game for the second time, you can press the ESC key to skip it directly.

"This is quite user-friendly. After all, watching too many good short films is annoying." Zou Mingming was very satisfied with this operation and could finally enter the game with peace of mind.

In fact, it was Zhang Yijun's idea to have such a setting.

In fact, when he got this CG short film worth tens of millions, Zhang Yajun had an idea in his head that he must let the players watch it carefully, otherwise such a good CG short film would be wasted.

So this is why the first time is locked and cannot be skipped, and the later time can be skipped. Zhang Yajun took into account that many players have low patience and it is boring to watch too many CG short films. He was very experienced and did not force the players.

This is really beautiful. Players usually have a certain patience for things that make a first impression. What's more, this CG short film is really exquisite and gorgeous. Even if they are forced to watch it, players don't feel disgusted. It even caused a hot topic on the Internet. Many players left messages online and felt that this CG animation was the pinnacle of the opening animation of domestic games.

At this moment, Zou Mingming has come out of the shock brought by the CG animation just now and devoted himself to the game.

Click "New Start", and the screen that pops up immediately surprised Zou Mingming.

I thought I would enter the game directly, but unexpectedly, a character selection screen popped up first.

The man in the screen was the black-haired boy who had appeared in the previous CG animation and killed dozens of criminals with a strange-looking long sword. There were many buttons next to the character, with many functions, including hairstyle, eyes, nose, mouth, face shape, etc.

This made Zou Mingming interested. I really didn't expect that a stand-alone RPG game could have such a face-pinching system.

Zou Mingming played for about half an hour before making a character that was almost 50% like himself. Looking at this character, Zou Mingming really felt a full sense of accomplishment. He felt as if he had entered the game and was about to fight.

After the character was made, Zou Mingming clicked to confirm, and then found that he still did not enter the game, but entered another screen with many options.

However, this time it is no longer a character creation system, but an option to choose the talent of the protagonist. There are many types of talents provided, such as genius, gifted, etc., and there are also options such as dull and stupid. Although it feels that since the game gives such an option, it will definitely not be useless, Zou Mingming still chose the best option of "genius" without hesitation. After all, he doesn't want to be a fool.

After selecting this option, Zou Mingming found that the system also provided three sets of initial costumes. Zou Mingming finally chose the red hunting suit worn by the boy in the CG animation. He felt that this set was the most domineering and capable, which was very suitable for his character's temperament.

With a narcissistic smile, Zou Mingming clicked the next step again and jumped out of the last link after entering the game.

"Can I actually name my own character? Wow!" Zou Mingming exclaimed in surprise. Although the system presets a name called 'Bai Li Tu Su', it can indeed be changed, and there is also a pronunciation option after the change, which includes more than 2,000 commonly used Chinese characters. As long as there are any of them, you can choose and combine them together. Then, in the game, the NPC will be able to call you by the name you gave.

Of course, you can't name anything you want, but there are restrictions, between two and four characters.

But this is enough for Zou Mingming. He quickly typed his name and marked the dubbing, then clicked to listen, and heard the character inside calling out the three words 'Zou Mingming'. Although the tone was a little unnatural, it was enough to surprise Zou Mingming and make him feel more involved in the game.

"It's so immersive. I'm so excited to think about the NPC calling me Zou Mingming. Fanxing Game Company is so sincere. It should let other game companies see what it means to make games seriously." Zou Mingming excitedly clicked OK, and sighed and complained.

What he didn't know was that for such a simple function, the investment cost of the game was hundreds of thousands of yuan more. If there was no support from a boss like Nie Wei who didn't seek to make money, no game company would waste this money on such an unnecessary function. With this money, they can even make a DLC to sell, which is in their actual interests.

But Zou Mingming didn't consider these issues. He only knew that "Gu Jian Qi Tan" had not officially started the game, and it was already very much in line with his mind.

Then he quickly entered the game, and a guided plot was realized, which made Zou Mingming familiar with the operation of the game.

Zou Mingming played very seriously. He entered the game at about 1 o'clock in the morning, and when he came back to his senses, it was already 5 o'clock in the morning.

After a night of hard work, Zou Mingming was physically a little tired, but mentally very excited.

Because "Gu Jian Qi Tan" really brought him too many surprises.

For example, in previous RPG games, skills would be automatically generated according to the character level or plot, and the level of such RPG games is basically based on the plot, so it gives players a sense of course, which lacks a sense of surprise.

However, "Gu Jian Qi Tan" is different. The skills of this game are obtained by practicing the obtained secret books, and these secret books are not obtained by following the plot. Although some secret books can be obtained in the main plot, more secret books are actually hidden in the side quests.

Even some powerful secret books can only be obtained by completing serial tasks.

For example, Zou Mingming's most powerful group skill, the Illusionary Sword, was obtained by completing a series of tasks, which took him nearly an hour to kill countless soldiers, solve numerous puzzles, and defeat two big bosses before he entered the cave of the ancient sword fairy and got this precious secret book.

The process was very cumbersome and even difficult, which made Zou Mingming crazy for a while, but when he finally got the secret book, he felt a sense of accomplishment filling his heart.

And getting the secret book is not the end of the matter. It must also meet the conditions for cultivation, which will be determined by your character's root bones, comprehension, and the talents you initially chose.

Zou Mingming also suddenly realized the importance of the previous character talent selection during the game. For example, this book "Empty and Illusionary Sword" can only be practiced by a genius, which makes Zou Mingming very fortunate. He had previously obtained a book "The Ghost Emperor Devouring Ghost Art", which sounds very domineering, but it requires mediocre talents to practice it. For this reason, he was entangled for a long time, wondering whether to practice a new character.

If all the conditions are met, the secret book can also be practiced, but this does not mean that you can exert the strongest ability of the moves recorded in this secret book. This process still requires a process of practice, and some attack moves need to be used after killing monsters to increase proficiency, and some internal skills secret books that increase physical strength and true qi, in addition to killing monsters to increase proficiency, can also be increased by eating some rare and precious herbs.

In addition, the strength of a secret book can be distinguished during practice.

For example, Zou Mingming's best secret book "Empty Illusionary Sword" can be upgraded to the seventh level, while the basic swordsmanship given in the initial teaching level can only be upgraded to the third level. No matter how many monsters are killed, its proficiency will not increase.

What makes Zou Mingming sigh is that even though the gameplay has become more varied and the game is more free, the game script of this game group that once made the Fairy Sword is still full of sincerity. Some of the side stories are funny and interesting, some are touching, some are infuriating, and some are exciting.

In short, many side stories are worthy of players' applause, and the excitement is even not inferior to the main story. This also makes players feel no standardization when executing the side stories. Instead, it feels like playing a new story, which is particularly immersive.

Because of physical fatigue, Zou Mingming still reluctantly decided to temporarily quit the game and prepare to take a rest, but before going to bed, he still has to do one thing, that is, go to the website, and he wants to use his super VIP account to leave a big praise for this "Gu Jian Qi Tan"!

Thanks to the vast sheep, 0773 for the generous reward!
