Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 1017 The sorrow of little people who are not noticed

 Chapter 1017 The Sorrow of the Little People Who Are Not Attention

  1017

"Speaking of the latest movie adaptation that Yuxing Electronic Entertainment recently collaborated with Tukarev, I feel that it may not do well at the box office. He actually kept saying that he would completely follow the original work and there would be almost no modifications. That's not true. Is it just like re-shooting the scenes and stories in the original game? It’s simply unnecessary.”

"That is, movies have souls, and directors also have their own consciousness. Simply obeying the words of such capitalists and making such movies without autonomy is simply an insult to the film industry."

　　Jimmy can be said to have very similar interests and subjective tendencies.

 And they have something in common that neither of them benefited from, which makes them feel closer to each other.

Jimmy smiled and said: "The magazine I manage will publish several reviews of movies like this recently, mainly to criticize the shortcomings of not giving our screenwriters and directors any autonomy. Then you can also Take a look, and if you are interested, you can also post it on Facebook."

 “Huh? Did you write the article?”

 “Well, it has my signature and my participation.”

"oh oh."

The other few people looked very respectful, but they knew very well in their hearts that they should never believe Jimmy's nonsense. He was probably squeezing an article written by an editor. The most he could do was give a general direction, and then If you let them write it, you may not be able to contribute at all.

I really envy this guy. He also has the social status of a chief editor, which is still slightly different from those of them who are pure screenwriters.

However, in order to have more promotion opportunities for the movies they wrote in the future, they still have to follow Jimmy a little. In the future, maybe the magazine he manages can also give their movies a few good words, or give them competition at the same time. The opponent said something bad.

 They all have their own agendas and different purposes.

At this time, one of them suddenly remembered something, so he said: "By the way, in addition to the movie adaptations of Metal Gear Solid and Uncharted Sea, there is also an unnamed movie. Who is the director of this movie to be Jimmy? Do you know? ?"

Jimmy thought about it seriously, then shook his head and said: "I don't know, I haven't heard about it. Maybe the candidate has not been finalized yet?"

“Then you say we...well, it probably won’t work. We are just screenwriters. It’s probably difficult to become the director of this kind of movie.”

Jimmy said casually: "Don't say that. Sooner or later in the future, we will embark on the path of directors. We always have to make our own movies. We can't always hang out in the screenwriting profession. In fact, we all have directors." The strength is just lacking a chance to show off."

“Jimmy is right, but even if the director of this movie is not completely determined yet, at least there will be a general direction.”

Jimmy said: "I think it is most likely to be the director of the Resident Evil movie. That director is already quite famous now, and having him film it will also have a certain fame effect."

Some of them were unconvinced and said: "Humph, this guy just caught up with the good times, and half of his fame is exaggerated."

This director and the Resident Evil director entered the film and television industry at the same time. Before the Resident Evil movie, which is the World War Z movie in this world, he and that director had similar statuses. They both worked their way up from the bottom. A fight started.

Then someone got lucky and suddenly became the director hired by Tukarev.

There is another rumor, that is, the director was also an avid gamer before. When he heard that a video game would be made into a movie, and it was his favorite Resident Evil work, he was very excited and took the initiative to sign up. No one is optimistic about the game being adapted into a movie or TV show.

 The final result is of course everyone is happy. With the foundation of World War Z, a mature commercial movie, as long as the director is not bad at it, the average director can do a pretty good job.

Several people who cared about each other gathered together and chatted for a long time, and then they said goodbye and left.

 A few days later, magazine articles and articles by these screenwriters began to gradually circulate on the Internet.

Their main argument is that this kind of pot-stewed movies with various IPs gathered together can easily fatigue the audience. At the same time, simply integrating various characters into one movie can also easily cause aesthetic fatigue.

Various video games have different painting styles.

 Can you imagine that Cloud in Final Fantasy 7 Remake can stand side by side with the 2.5D style of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild?

 It is quite inconsistent no matter how you look at it.

 Because they themselves are people with a certain social status, there are quite a lot of people who agree with their views.

 Gradually attacking this big IP movie seems to become a routine operation in the film industry.

　　It seems that you are not qualified to stay in this industry without spraying yourself.

But what is a bit strange is that there are many people in the middle and lower-level film and television circles who criticize this movie.

 But when the class rose to a higher level, those well-known directors, screenwriters and others remained silent.

Even if some people in the industry contacted them and asked them to comment on the movie of this large IP collection, they were more cautious and just expressed that the shooting style of this movie was relatively new and would be very challenging.

Jimmy and the others' actions didn't cause much trouble, which made him feel a little unable to sit still.

 He felt that his social influence was being challenged, so he immediately arranged for his people to publish more articles.

 But most of them are still in silence, with no more people responding.

Just when he wanted to continue doing something, Tukarev suddenly announced something, that is, the director of the movie assembled by the big IP and the final naming of the movie.

 The name of the movie is directly based on the name given by Zhu Youxing: "Ready Player One"

The specific world view is also slightly revealed. It will be a dystopian society in the future. People have high technology, but the per capita living standard is not high, so people begin to indulge in the world of video games, where can they find some happiness.

 Then comes the final choice of director.

 Jesse Homemill, a living fossil in the film industry, announced that he would take over directing this film, and the biggest reason why he chose to direct this film was that he wanted to challenge an unknown territory again.

 The various genres in the film industry have become more and more mature, and he, a living fossil in the film industry, has long been bored.

 And this kind of movie that mixes games with various artistic styles is very interesting.

Perhaps there will be no progress in terms of shooting techniques, etc., but with so many cultural IPs put together, how to make so many things not feel inconsistent is a challenge, a challenge that a director like him is most willing to accept.

 After learning that the final candidate for the director was a living fossil in the film industry, Jimmy immediately shut up.

Just kidding, if he still dares to criticize that movie now, he is tantamount to truly being an enemy of the film industry. His thinking is still normal, and he even did not hesitate to delete and block all the articles that he had previously publicly criticized on the Internet, for fear that there would be more Many people saw it and looked for old accounts against him.

 It’s just that the Internet has memory, and there are no secrets on the Internet. It just depends on whether you are worthy of people’s attention.

 It’s just that he was a little lucky and had not been paid attention to by top bosses like Zhu Youxing and Tukarev.

This may also be another kind of sadness, the sadness of little people who are not noticed.

 Just making fun of myself.
