Yang Mi looked away from the car window and shrugged her shoulders.
"Because of the reputation of"Xuanyuan Sword", it ranks at the bottom among the three swords."
"The reason is that the world view cannot be connected in series."
"《The two series"Legend of Sword and Fairy" and"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" have a unique feature. In the subsequent sequels, you will find Easter eggs from the previous series."
"A large-scale stand-alone game usually takes two to four people to make. Four years is enough time to derive something called [feelings]."
"Seeing the Easter eggs from the previous game in the new work is a sentimental experience for the players. There is a lot of overlap between those who play the third game and those who played the first game."
"Relying on a relatively coherent world view and timeline, both series have attracted many players."
"But"Xuanyuan Sword" is different. It is based on real history, and the timeline is relatively messy, ranging from the pre-Qin era to the Ming Dynasty."
"Except for a weapon with the same name as the game [Xuanyuan Sword] that runs through the entire series, it has nothing to do with the story, which creates a sense of fragmentation for players."
"Therefore, the overlap of players in each generation of"Xuanyuan Sword" is relatively poor, which results in relatively poor popularity."
"So after thinking about it, I decided on"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and"The Ancient Sword and Fairy Tales"》"
"There is another small reason. These two companies are both in Yanjing. We can negotiate with these two companies in one trip."
Yang Mi's original body is a senior domestic game fan.
She has played almost every game of Xianguxuan and Three Swords.
What Yang Mi just talked about was extracted from the mind of Yang Mi's original body. The information that came out.
Oh.
Xue Zhengyang nodded as if he understood. For a person who has never played games and has not understood these two games, it does sound a bit confusing.
"In short, you negotiate with them later, and I will cooperate with you.""nine forty"
……
While talking, the car came to an office building.
The three of them took the elevator up.
After arriving on the floor, you showed your reservation information and were taken to a reception room.
When passing by the work area, Yang Mi glanced at the computer screen on the employee's desk. Judging from the pictures inside, it should be the production of"The Legend of Sword and Fairy - Five Prequels".
The corners of Yang Mi's mouth rose.
Judging from the information in Yang Mi's original memory in her mind, as well as the information she obtained after searching.
This negotiation is a sure success!
《"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is a very classic game IP with a very large audience.
Nowadays, people who like this series of games range from people in their 60s and 70s to teenagers.
After all, it has been more than 20 years since the first one was released.
In the past 20 years, the game has experienced many twists and turns, ups and downs.
The first big trough of the game was in"Legend of Sword and Fairy II", and the second big trough is now.
These two low points almost ruined the brand of [Fairy Sword].
After sitting in the reception room for a while, two people pushed the door open and entered.
The leader is a middle-aged man wearing glasses and a half-sleeved shirt.
"Hello you two, welcome to your arrival. I am Yao Zhuangxian, general manager of Yanjing Softstar!"The middle-aged man introduced.
Huh?
Yang Mi was delighted:"So you are the father of the sword, Yao Xian!"
She knew that the person in front of her was the producer of the first part of"Legend of Sword and Fairy" more than 20 years ago. It was he who started the road of domestic fairy tales.
Before that, there were only mythology and martial arts themes. He was the first to fuse these two themes together and create the word"Xianxia".
Gamers affectionately call him Yao Xian.
It was the emergence of Yao Xian that made him famous in that era when foreign games were popular. , guarding the fire of domestic stand-alone games,"Legend of Sword and Fairy" became popular in the Chinese area, giving many domestic game watchers the motivation to persevere.
Then there will be more outstanding game makers who enter because they like Sword and Fairy. The game industry has produced better games one after another.
However, today, twenty years later,"Legend of Sword and Fairy" cannot keep up with the trend and gradually declines.
Yao Xian was still very excited when he heard Yang Mi call out his nickname. moved
"Have you also played Fairy Sword?"
Yeah.
Yang Mi smiled and nodded:
"Yes, when I was in school, I really liked this series of games."
"As you know, I am now somewhat famous and have some say, so I want to use my own efforts to make the story of Fairy Sword into a film and television drama, so that more people will know about this game."
Yao Xian raised his glasses frame.
"Some time ago, Jiahang contacted us and told us this idea, I was a little surprised."
"I didn’t expect that someone would think of adapting the game into a movie and TV series. After all, there is no precedent in this area. I thought it was a scam, so I didn’t respond."
"Later, through the introduction of the employees, I found out that your big star's company is called Jiahang. After discussions in the company, I decided to make the game into a TV series to see the effect."
While talking, the front desk came in with a few glasses of water on a tray and placed them in front of Yang Mi and others.
Yang Mi looked at the heat rising from the cup:
"There are many foreign film and television dramas adapted from games, such as"Resident Evil"》"
"Since it can be done abroad, why can’t we do it domestically?"
"In my opinion,"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is no worse than those, and the story of Sword and Fairy is more suitable for Xia people"
"The sword rides on the wind to eliminate demons in the world. I am happy when I have wine, but I am also crazy without wine. Drink all the rivers in one drink, swallow the sun and moon in another drink. Even if I drink a thousand cups of wine, I will never fall down, but I am the wine swordsman!"
"Such pride is not found in foreign movies and TV dramas!"
After saying that, Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the original person had a relatively large amount of information about the game of Fairy Sword, otherwise it would be really difficult to fool him.
First, after hearing Yang Mi recite the character poem of Jiu Sword Fairy, she felt I'm a little excited.
It seems that this celebrity is not a big liar, but really likes Fairy Sword!
"As a developer, I am very happy and gratified to have a player with such achievements as you in Xianmi!"
"Which one are you planning to buy the rights to? Yao Xian asked.
Hmm.
Yang Mi pretended to think, and then replied:"Xianyi, Xiansan, Xianfour." I want all three!"
Huh?
Yao Xian was shocked when he heard this
"You...you are really good at choosing!"
"These three films are our best works!"
《"Legend of Sword and Fairy" works are released in order: Immortal One, Immortal Two, Immortal Three, Immortal Three Gaiden, Immortal Four, Immortal Five, and the Immortal Five prequel under development.
There is a very mysterious thing. After one movie becomes popular, the next one will hit the street, and the next one will become popular again, and the next one will hit the street again.
When Xianyi was released, it was very popular in the Chinese-speaking community, and almost everyone with a computer had played it.
When we arrived at Xianer, there was a huge attack on the market, which almost completely wiped out the IP of [Xianjian].
At that time, this work continued the style of the previous generation and was produced using 2D graphics. Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Linger, and Lin Yueru also appeared in this work.
The little brat [Wang Xiaohu] in the first part is the protagonist of this one.
As a game called"Legend of Sword and Fairy", Wang Xiaohu actually uses a [sword]!
At that time, I was scolded by many game fans.
What's even more terrible is that this generation of games is an unfinished work. The original development studio was disbanded due to various reasons when the development reached about 80%.
Other studios can only take over to help finish the work.
However, all the story settings and character settings behind Xianji were deleted. With nothing left, the studio that took over could only mess up the ending.
Resting on one's laurels, there is no breakthrough. In a game with [sword] as the core, the protagonist uses a knife, and the ending is unfinished.
Under the influence of various negative BUFFs, the developers directly lost money.
Fortunately, Xian San and Xian Er were developed at the same time. Ten months later,"Legend of Sword and Fairy III" was released after a wave of criticism.
Sword and Sword III is produced by a studio in Shanghai.
This work completes the concept of the six realms [gods, demons, immortals, monsters, humans, and ghosts], and creates corresponding scene maps.
The concept of six realms was also used by many later game works and literary works.
The world view is awesome, plus the six protagonists have awesome backgrounds, unique looks, multiple endings and perfect endings.
Under the blessing of various BUFFs. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
The sales volume of Fairy Sword III has also reached a peak, and its status in the minds of many fairy swordsmen is almost equal to that of Fairy Sword One!
However, the later Xiansan Gaiden released continued the story of Xu Changqing, and because it was suspected of resting on its laurels, sales were once again low.
Fortunately, with Sword of Sword 2 at the bottom of the list, Sword of Sword 2 is not a shame.
A few years later, Sword and Sword IV was released.
Life-like proportions, more gripping stories, and a variety of wonderland and styles.
Let the sales of Sword and Sword IV increase again, and the reputation is also increasing.
However, what really drove the sales of the game was that one month after the release of Sword and Sword IV, Modu Softstar, the company responsible for developing the game, announced its disbandment!
《"Senzo","Senzo Gaiden" and"Senori" were all developed by this studio.
It can be said that he single-handedly raised the fairy sword from the realm of [xiaxia] to the realm of [immortal] where gods and demons fight.
At that time, people's copyright awareness was not strong, and many players played pirated games.
After Magic City Softstar announced its disbandment, it caused huge waves in domestic stand-alone games. Many media commented that the cold winter of domestic games is approaching, and many players cried. They really cried.
Many pirate manufacturers have come out to apologize and repent.
Players have vowed that as long as Magic City Softstar develops new works, they will never engage in piracy again.
But it was all to no avail.
After the disbandment of Magic City Soft Star, domestic stand-alone games fell into a long period of darkness. In the following years, there was no game comparable to Fairy Sword.
Even the good brother"Xuanyuan Sword" can't do it.
It was also from that time that domestic players began to awaken their awareness of authenticity.
Sword and Sword IV is a posthumous work, and the quality of the game itself for that era was very good, which resulted in an increase in both sales and reputation........
Thus, all three peaks of the Fairy Sword series were present.
Immortal Sword One, Immortal Sword Three, Immortal Sword Four!
Which work is the best?
Gamers have been arguing about this issue for more than ten years, but there is no unified result, because everyone has a number one in their hearts.
Several years have passed since then, and the players who originally played Xiansi have changed from high school students to office workers, and some have gotten married and had children.
The news of the Five of Swords and Swords finally came.
It was made by Yao Xian himself, the father of the Fairy Sword.
Players were looking forward to it very much, and everyone said that they would definitely buy the genuine version. Even pirate manufacturers said that they would never pirate Xianwu within a month.
With the support of various BUFFs, the sales of Sword and Sword Five hit the charts in the first week!
However, give it a chance and it won't work.
Sword and Sword Five is impressive in all aspects, whether it’s character modeling, skills, monster strength, or story aspects.
As a result, this sequel, which players had been waiting for for many years, suffered a sharp decline in reputation, replacing Fairy Sword II and becoming the last in the Fairy Sword series.
Yao Xian's first game after his comeback had this result, which not only angered the players, but also angered the company headquarters.
In order to recover the losses, they immediately started developing the current"Fifth Prequel of Sword and Fairy".
Therefore, Yao Xian was very surprised when he heard that Yang Mi was directly planning to produce the three best works in the Fairy Sword series.
"If you don’t sign the best work, why should I sign the worst one?"Yang Mi asked back
"I can sign"Fairy Sword 2" and"Fairy Sword 5", but you have to think clearly."
"These two works are considered by players to be all-around flattering. If they were filmed, the players would be scolded. Do you think audiences who have never played games will like them?"
"Don't talk about the ratings at that time, maybe even the sequel to Fairy Tales that you are currently developing will be thrown out."
Yang Mi paused and looked at Yao Xian's expression carefully. Sure enough, he also started to think.
So she began to explain earnestly:
"Why do I want to photograph Xianyi, Xiansan and Xiansi? Because there are more fans who like these three games"
"If the filming is done well, it will be able to provide proper publicity for the game. By then, not only may the sales of these games be increased, but also the sequels currently being developed can be promoted."
"Will you still worry about sales then?"
Hmm.
Yao Xian was silent for a moment:
"What you said does make sense, but you can’t buy our three best works at the same time."[]
"How about I give you one first?"
He was thinking that if Fairy Sword One can be a big hit, then the adaptation rights of subsequent generations will be able to sell more money.
How can Yang Mi think differently?
"This is indeed what I thought when I decided to adapt the idea of Xianjian."
"After all, my Jiahang Media is just a small start-up company. If I only buy the copyright of one movie, the pressure will not be so great, and I can still try the water."
"If I buy three units, I might not be able to afford it."
"However, I later changed my mind because the market is difficult to predict."
"As you just said, there is no precedent for TV series adapted from games in China, so no one can guarantee whether 2.9 will be popular after it is produced."
"So I plan to buy all three of them, find a gold medal screenwriter to turn them into film and television scripts, and then discuss which one is more suitable for the current market, and then start filming."
Yang Mi said earnestly, and every word was full of meaning. Xiaozhi moved her emotions with reason.
Wow.
Xue Zhengyang next to her wanted to applaud her after hearing these words.
This girl is really a good negotiator. Good luck.
You have no money?
You have a gambling agreement of 1.1 billion, several golden songs, and two hit dramas,"Gong Lock Heart Jade" and"The Legend of the White Snake".
Dare you say that you have no money?
And that expression, if not If he knew the inside story, he would probably be fooled.
Tsk.
Yao Xian clicked his tongue in embarrassment:
"What you just said is indeed a problem."
"However, I also have my own considerations……"
Yang Mi nodded:
"I know……"
"Let's do this. You sell me the copyrights of three games for 10 million, and I will give you a 5% equity dividend in the film and television series. If the adapted film and television series become popular in the future, you can get long-term profits."
"How?"
Ah?
Yao Xian was stunned for a moment, and then looked a little disgusted:"Is it only 10 million?"
"So how much do you hope for? Yang Mi asked back.
Yao Xian hesitated for a moment and raised five fingers:"50 million!""
Huh?
Yang Mi pretended to be surprised:
"50000000? Yao Xian, my Jiahang is a small company, and buying the copyrights of three games at this price is a bit too expensive!"
Yao Xian was also very embarrassed:
"I can't explain it to the headquarters if the price is lower than this. You have to know that although Fairy Sword was developed by us, we are all managed by the headquarters Daewoo."
"If it doesn’t work out, why don’t you buy one?".
