163. Chapter 163 Production Difficulties



Du Yunxiang felt very sorry for what happened to Liu Wangxue when she was working at Shenghai Entertainment. If she hadn't met someone like Tang Songhe when she first entered the industry, she might have been at the top of the industry now.

Therefore, coupled with Du Yunkai's previous endorsement, Du Yunxiang did not let the copyright department come forward. Today, he not only expressed his willingness to purchase, but also offered a very generous price.

Liu Wangxue thought, Du Yunkai must know about this matter, but he was so tight-lipped and never told her about it.

Therefore, she did not mention to Du Yunkai that she no longer planned to sell the film and television rights of the script, especially the PC version.

"Sister Yunxiang, can I ask which version of the script you want to buy?" Liu Wangxue asked.

"Of course it's the version you revised for the PC game," Du Yunxiang said. "Why, is there any problem?"

Liu Wangxue was a little embarrassed: "Sister, I'm definitely not taking advantage of you. The price you offered does make me very tempted, but I have my own concerns."

If someone had come to her to buy the film and television rights to "The Twenty-one Cases of Da Zhao" in the past, she would have sold it without hesitation, just like she sold the game adaptation rights to Du Yunkai.

At that time, I was disappointed with the industry and also faced financial pressure from my family. I didn’t care how much the copyright fee was, as long as I could earn some money.

Now, the family does not have any major expenses, and both parents have savings. Liu Wangxue has no financial pressure, and the money in the account is enough for him to live out his retirement in Qiu Shui Town.

Her plan for the future is to try different script styles according to her own preferences, write a few, and then submit them for publication or find a website to publish them. It would be best if they can be sold, but if they can't, she doesn't care, she can just treat it as practice.

Therefore, she became very concerned about "The Twenty-one Cases of Dazhao", a work in which she poured a lot of effort.

If Du Yunxiang wanted to buy the first edition, there would be no problem. She also believed that with the production standards of Yunxi Entertainment, the quality of the film would definitely not be bad.

But Du Yunxiang was interested in the second edition, the PC version.

The story background of this version is more grand than the previous one, and the setting is richer. It is no longer limited to the detective case itself, but involves family, country, the world, and the troubles of the world.

In addition to the traditional martial arts settings that Du Yunkai requested, Liu Wangxue also added folklore when creating the story, especially the description of several small countries around Dazhao, which was mysterious and magnificent.

For example, in the Muyun Kingdom in the south of Dazhao, the Mengli tribe used witchcraft to give birth to snake girls, who were sacrificed every five years.

The Mengli Mountains have a unique landform landscape, with residual hills, peaks, and karst depressions. The main peak, Pukao Mountain, combines all four seasons.

Thousands of acres of rhododendrons are in bloom at the foot of the mountain all year round, the glaciers and snow on the top of the mountain never melt, the sea of ​​clouds rolls in the mountains, and the mist never dissipates at sunrise.

The legend goes that in ancient times, the chief witch of the tribe predicted that the land of Muyun would collapse and could not be saved without the power of the gods.

The chief Dagang went out of the mountain to look for him and met a goddess who came down from the sky. They took Dagang back to the tribe while he was injured and unconscious, and imprisoned him under the glacier of Mount Pukao.

However, the goddess was weak, and her divine power could only protect the Monli Mountains, so the Monli tribe did not dare to make it public.

The great witch used Da'an's heart blood and a secret method to extract the power of the goddess and built a secret protective barrier.

A few years later, the Muyun Kingdom was shaken, more than ten years earlier than the time predicted by the great witch. The other tribes searched for the gods in vain and almost no one survived.

After the disaster subsided, the Mengli tribe unified the Muyun Kingdom.

And the goddess is still trapped under the glacier.

A hundred years later, the goddess was rescued, and in order to avenge Dayuan, she turned the new queen into a monster with a human body and a snake tail.

As a result, the goddess fell and turned into a demon, transformed into a storm, covering the entire Muyun Kingdom.

Sunlight could not penetrate the clouds to illuminate the earth, which was tantamount to a disaster for the Muyun Kingdom, whose religious belief was the sun.

Dayuan hiked up the mountain and set up an altar to repent. After 9981 times, the great witch was able to talk to the mist monster and found a way to break it.

The queen offered sacrifice.

However, the queen was already pregnant, and the witch doctor predicted that the child was the son of destiny and would inherit the throne.

They had waited for hundreds of years for such an heir. Once the heir was born, Da Wu and Dagang could return to Mengli.

This has been the heritage of their tribe since ancient times. Every chief is named "Da'an", and it must be the will of heaven, and this kind of "will of heaven" can only be predicted by the great witch.

After the birth of a new generation of destined leader, he will naturally guide a new generation of great witch. The two of them will lead the tribe towards a brighter future, while the previous generation of great witch and leader will disappear.

What Lan Yao wants is not the queen, but the heir in the queen's belly.

The two men set up an altar to negotiate again, but to no avail.

After discussion, they decided to hand over the queen. If the heir was not born, they would not die. At most, they would have to wait for a few hundred years.

However, five years later, the new queen received good news, and the witch doctor divined the destiny and confirmed that the baby was the heir.

However, before they could rejoice, the queen transformed into a snake woman that night, and the evil fog once again enveloped the Muyun Kingdom.

The same will be true for the next five years.

In the next five years, the Great Witch discovered that the Storm Demon had changed and seemed to be gradually merging with the Chaos. In order to protect this heir, the Great Witch set up an altar, borrowed the mouth of destiny, selected a civilian woman, used witchcraft to turn her into a snake woman, and sacrificed her for the queen.

The new Da'an and the Great Witch were born with the knowledge. When the five-year period was up and thick fog came, it was time for the snake woman to offer sacrifice.

The altar is set up on the Pukao Glacier. Starting from the thousand-acre sea of ​​rhododendrons at the foot of the mountain, the Muyun people stand on the side of the mountain road holding torches to illuminate the way to the top of the mountain.

The snake woman snaked her way up under everyone's gaze.

As time went on, this sacrifice ceased to be a death for the queen, but became a ritual of faith.

The chosen girls will be given supreme honor and mission, and their sacrifice will no longer be forced or painful, but voluntary and proud.

——Look, it is my sacrifice that brings eternal light.

What is worrying Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong now is the plot of "Snake Girl's Sacrifice".

Especially the character of the snake girl, it is not difficult to make, but it is still quite difficult to do it well.

With the current domestic production level, whether it is games or animations, the performance of the "snake tail" part is not satisfactory.

Like the crude special effects in some dramas, it's as if a head is inserted into a bent and stiff stick, and then the audience is told that this thing is a snake.

Du Yunkai and Xu Qingsong wanted to make this a classic scene in the game. Now that the plot is ready, the technology must not lag behind.

The first draft of the character design was already completed, and Xu Qingsong had shown it to Liu Wangxue. They had the same idea, and although it was beautiful, it was still a little off.

Gossip (author's own happiness) "木云" is a compound word "枟", which means to lose something

"Pukao" is the transliteration of a Thai word, which means "mountain". I'm too lazy to come up with a name, hahaha. "Dagang" is also the transliteration of a Thai word, which means "sun". The tribe believes in the sun, so the leader should also be called this, hahaha.
