Chapter 92 Promotional Video

"It's really handsome."

Zhong Xiu looked at the original painting in his hand, shocked, but couldn't let it go.

For a otaku like him.

He liked the original painting given by Lin Yao very much, no matter the style or the character design, because the characters drawn by Lin Yao are not only bloody and bizarre, but also handsome.

Especially this mother body, it looks pitiful from a distance, and it looks crazy when you look closely, which makes people's sanity go crazy. Who can resist such a character?

And this mercenary, with a military temperament, resolute and handsome, at first glance, it is a ruthless character who can punch people in the nose and shoot AK.

And this... eh?

Zhong Xiu raised his head and looked at Mu Wanqing strangely.

"That is not a playable character. I just drew it to make Miss Mu happy. You don't have to worry about it. I plan to put her in the promotional video, forget about the game."

Seeing his expression, Lin Yao knew what he was thinking and explained.

"...Are you sure you don't want to make it into the game? It looks very cool."

Zhong Xiu glanced at Mu Wanqing's face and said carefully: "I feel that such a character is really suitable for making it into the game, and it's best to keep the characteristic of holding a knife."

He seemed to like it more than seeing the mother body.

Mu Wanqing had no expression.

Lin Yao smiled: "No, let's not do these fancy things for the time being, let's talk about it later."

"Oh..."

Zhong Xiu was quite disappointed to see that Lin Yao had no intention of wavering.

But then, he saw the map plan behind and quickly forgot about it: "Even the map is there, Lin Yao, you didn't plan it a long time ago, did you? You wanted to make a 3D game a long time ago?"

"What do you mean you planned it a long time ago? It's like a crime."

Lin Yao glared at him lightly and said unhappily: "I just had an idea."

"..."

Zhong Xiu smiled awkwardly and then looked through the original painting at hand again.

I really like it more and more.

At the same time.

The biochemical mode that Lin Yao told him about gradually became concrete as the original painting was displayed in front of him.

"Lin Yao, you are really amazing. I think I understand what you mean. Let's get started right away."

Zhong Xiu raised his head again, eager to try.

Now the original painting is in front of him, and the planning document is beside him. What are

you waiting for? "Don't worry, take the planning document and the original painting to a meeting with your subordinates to let them know what they are doing. By the way, see what else is needed, and then tell me."

Lin Yao thought for a while: "Let's make a rough test version first, and then debug it slowly. In addition, there is no gun data in my planning document, so you have to work harder in this regard."

Lin Yao really has no way to deal with guns.

She is not familiar with it.

"Okay."

Zhong Xiu nodded.

He has no objection to this.

Lin Yao has done enough, even beyond the scope of her duties, with original paintings and rule frameworks. It would be difficult for her, a girl, to handle gun data.

"But don't you still have to make a promotional video?"

Zhong Xiu thought for a while and asked again.

"You should make the game first and put the promotional video first. At least the game can be played roughly before considering this issue."

Lin Yao thought for a while and said, "Don't get the order wrong."

You can't make a fancy promotional video before the game is made, right?

This is too much.

Moreover, the purpose of the so-called promotional video is actually to train the team. The game is also a way to train the team, and the latter is more important.

"I understand."

Zhong Xiu nodded after hearing this.

Indeed.

...

After Lin Yao gave the original painting to Zhong Xiu, she took Mu Wanqing back to her seat.

"Miss Mu."

Lin Yao sat back in her seat and suddenly asked, "Isn't it okay for me to make your image the protagonist of the promotional video?"

Although it is said that the order cannot be wrong.

But as the main creator of the game, Lin Yao has decided to make a promotional video, so she needs to consider how to do it now.

"...Actually, that doesn't look like me."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, and whispered, "I can't use a knife."

Lin Yao smiled, "Does that mean you agree?"

"Well...you decide."

Mu Wanqing did not object.

Although she thought it was herself at first, after hearing Zhong Xiu say that the ferocious-looking mother was handsome, and then said that the character holding the knife was handsome...

she felt that it was definitely not herself...

"That's good, you will be a hero of mankind in the future."

Lin Yao gently patted her belly and said with a smile like a flower.

Mu Wanqing: "......?"

Lin Yao slowly put away her hands. After confirming the role, she began to think about how to make a gimmicky promotional video.

Although she has no idea for the time being.

But FPS promotional videos.

Basically, they are all the same routine.

First, give an ambiguous picture, followed by soothing music, the characters in the game say some ambiguous lines, then the music changes, the rhythmic music is matched with the fast-switching pictures, and finally there is an ambiguous ending, and the release date pops up.

A promotional video is all it takes.

Yeah.

The same routine applies to movies...

But a good game promotional video can really add a lot of points to the game. Many stand-alone games can even attract a wave of sales just by promotion.

This is why Lin Yao said that she wanted to make a promotional video to train Zhong Xiu and the others.

Of course.

The premise of all this is that the game must be good enough.

Otherwise, it would be a tragedy.

In Lin Yao's impression, the FPS game that had a good promotional video in the past must have the Battlefield series.

Thanks to the fineness of the Frostbite engine's graphics and the expressiveness of multiplayer battles, the promotional videos of the Battlefield series, especially the later generations, the light and shadow, the graphics, and the battlefield feel are simply amazing, making people want to click to buy immediately after watching them.

But when you enter the game and take a look...

Although the graphics have not shrunk significantly, it is indeed greatly discounted overall.

It makes people want to shout Geneva to return the money immediately...

And the latest one is even worse. The promotional video is full of fancy words, with rocket launchers bombing fighter planes and seizing attack points. When you enter the game, you can see that it swallows bullets and hovercrafts. In dreams, hovercrafts are running rampant...

I heard that all the veterans of DICE have left, and the new recruits can't even use the Frostbite engine...

However, although there are many flaws in the game, I have to admit that

their promotional video is really well done.

Lin Yao took out another piece of paper and thought about it carefully.

Thinking about the famous promotional videos in the previous life.

I have a little idea.

Let's make a promotional video that is deliberately mysterious.

Because it is an online game, we won't do the actual machine demonstration. Make a pure promotional video.

Zombies don't appear at the beginning.

Instead, the chaotic situation is shown from the first-person perspective of the soldiers, and a sense of urgency is created with the cooperation of sound and music. A very strong sense of urgency.

Finally, at the end of the promotional video, there is a scene of zombies surrounding them.

Well.

OK.

But the scene of zombies surrounding them is not enough.

Maybe there needs to be another scene to stir up the tension?

What scene would be appropriate?

Rapid breathing? Climbing up after feeling out of danger?

None of them seem appropriate?

Lin Yao took the pen and fell into deep thought.

Mu Wanqing stood aside, looking at Lin Yao's profile and smiled gently.

That's great.
