Is it not a galgame?

After the new year, pokeni launched two game projects at the same time according to the original plan:

"CLANNAD" and "LIFE-LINE"

Qing Zhiyuan came back from vacation and immediately threw himself into the busy work.

"Diablo 2" and "Pokémon Gold and Silver" are in the final stage, and it is enough to develop and promote them step by step.

The English version of "The Witcher" has been produced and will be released in the Omi region soon.

As a producer, he should be a little more relaxed. Qing Zhiyuan freed up his hands to work on other projects.

A higher priority is CLANNAD.

Qing Zhiyuan was very impressed with this game. Although it has not been fully reproduced, most of the content is remembered.

After designing the original paintings of the characters and the content of the script, he entrusted the project to Mika Ishino to execute the subsequent content. After that, at most, he would check the progress at intervals and see if there was any deviation from the original design.

In addition to these, Qing Zhiyuan also carefully discussed the issue of soundtrack with Jun Ma Zhijun and Atsushi Shirakawa in the recording studio.

"Ah? President, you actually know how to make music?" Bai Chuan expressed his surprise.

Although he knew that Qing Zhiyuan had a high appreciation for music, and he also knew what kind of music the game needed and what a soundtrack artist needed to do, but he had never seen Qing Zhiyuan show any music-related information before. talent.

Many people speculated that Qing Zhiyuan actually sang very badly in private.

Because the president never goes to KTV with everyone.

(Qing Zhiyuan said, am I not going with you? I am taking care of your feelings. I am afraid that you will not be able to let go when there are leaders.)
In short, in the minds of many people, Qing Zhiyuan belongs to the type who can listen but not sing.

But for Shirakawa Atsushi, it is not too important. A food connoisseur does not have to be a cook, and there is no requirement for music appreciation to be a professional. Everyone can have their own unique music aesthetics.

The president's music aesthetics are not particularly good, but there is a particularly good shortcoming——

popular.

After all, games are made to be experienced by the majority of people. Although they are known as the ninth art, they are still not real art. Games are ultimately a product that serves more people.

The more people buy, the more money you make.

So under such circumstances, if the president can represent the aesthetics of the public, then this in itself is a very proud thing.

"Yeah, I didn't realize that the president is also accomplished in the field of music." Ma Zhizhun said doubtfully.

Qing Zhiyuan's face was gloomy, he could only smile awkwardly after being mercilessly poked in his weak spot by two people.

How the hell can I write code, can you?

My painting skills are so strong, how about you?
Why do you have to be a hexagon warrior?
"I don't really understand this, but I have a small request."

Qing Zhiyuan glanced at the door of the recording studio, then walked over and closed the door carefully, making sure that no one came in and would not be heard, then turned around and said to the two people:

"Listen to what I'm humming."

"Yeah." The two nodded and took a step back.

"Yeah, cough cough, um~" Qing Zhiyuan cleared his throat, then shook his head and sang, "Tuanzi, Tuanzi, Tuanzi, Tuanzi, the big family of Tuanzi..."

Ma Zhijun and Shirakawa Atsushi looked at each other, their faces turning pale.

But there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

Although the voice of the president is not so pleasant, the beat is not so accurate, at least the pitch is accurate.

And the two of them could vaguely hear the true nature of this tune:
Lively, relaxed, and a little cute.

It's just... this song is really not suitable for the president to sing.

It feels more suitable for young and cute girls.

"Naughty BBQ dumplings and gentle bean paste dumplings

The moon-watching dumpling who often has sweet dreams

……

In the round moon in the sky, the little rabbit is waving at us
All the happy and sad things are included in it

……

Tuanzi Tuanzi Tuanzi Tuanzi big family! "

After Qing Zhiyuan finished singing, both Ma Zhizhun and Shirakawa Atsushi were not very good.

The two stood in a daze for two seconds, then clapped their hands.

"That sounds good, President, did you write this yourself?" Atsushi Shirakawa asked.

Ma Zhizhun looked at Bai Chuan inexplicably in astonishment, and thought, [It's so nice] Can you say such a thing?

"Is this song a must?" Atsushi Shirakawa asked, "Is it a little too... how to put it, jumping out, or being younger, but it doesn't match the tone of our game?"

Bai Chuan is also someone who has read the script, and knows the story in CL very well.

To be honest, if the script was not written by the president, he would really like to kill the author.

"Well, I must get this song." Qing Zhiyuan nodded seriously.

This song in the previous life was adapted from a BGM "Zhu" in the game "CLANNAD".

Due to the huge influence of this song, the Chinese name of the animated version of "CLANNAD" was also translated as "The Big Family of Tuanzi"

Ma Zhizhun wrote the lyrics and composed music, and Cha Tai lead the vocals, so some people praised Ma Zhizhun as a first-class composer.

This guy does have some talent.

Ma Zhizhun was listening to the conversation between the two, and somehow felt a sense of déjà vu——

It's like I've heard this song somewhere.

In other words, when he heard the melody and lyrics, he just felt goosebumps all over his body. If he wants to use a more metaphysical term, it is that he is destined to be with this song.

No, not only this song, but even CL's entire plot, made him feel similar.

It was as if everything was tailor-made for him.

……

"Yes. It must be." Ma Zhizhun nodded in agreement, "CL seems to be describing love, but in fact the core is family affection, and family is the essence of this game. The song "Duanzi Big Family" is really suitable gone."

Although the president's singing is not very pleasant, at least there is no problem in conveying it.

Atsushi Shirakawa nodded, and recorded the numbered notation with a pencil beside him.

After that, he will enrich it with Ma Zhizhun and complete the whole orchestration part.

"The human voice is eliminated in the game, and BGM is used to intersperse the story, and then after the final clearance, the song with lyrics is released as ED." Qing Zhiyuan said.

If animation is performed in the future, some resources can be saved.

Qing Zhiyuan took [animation] into consideration from the very beginning. A CL without animation is incomplete. We can’t just let players experience warm healing and moving in the game, but also let those who don’t play games I can get this beauty from TV.

In order to guide more people to experience this game, this is the most important.

"Okay, I understand." Shirakawa Atsushi and Ma Zhijun nodded.

After Qing Zhiyuan left...

"But... who should I ask to sing?" Bai Chuan was also in a difficult situation.

……

Years later, with the signing of the contract between Pokeni and Ghibli, after the cooperation started, no matter how tightly the two sides concealed it, the final news spread like wildfire.

Some reporters caught clues and saw that Qing Zhiyuan often had dinner with Hayao Miyazaki.

It is strange in itself that characters from two different fields come so close, and every few days I see Hayao Miyazaki running towards pokeni.

This is even more strange.

How should I put it, this feeling is a bit like big stars secretly having a tryst and not disclosing their relationship, and then being caught by the paparazzi.

So after unremitting inquiry, the media also got some definite information.

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Qing Zhiyuan discussed with Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki, and decided to make the news of the cooperation public.

So pokeni and Ghibli held a press conference.

Hearing the news, media of all sizes in the industry flocked to it.

"First of all, Pokeni and Studio Ghibli will cooperate. This is the exact news, but it is not convenient to disclose the specific content of the cooperation."

Toshio Suzuki, as the main spokesperson, took the microphone and said:

"There is little that can be said:
Studio Ghibli itself is keen on exploring animation, and we are also looking for more ways to express our ideas in other fields.

By chance, we saw "Your Name" produced by pokeni, which is a very powerful game work, even reaching the level of animation.

Some of the important storyboards made us full of praise. Although it is a dynamic picture, it is already very remarkable.

After our research, we feel that this is a very novel model that can be tried, so we intend to hand over the new works that will be produced in the future to pokeni for gamification.

But when exactly we will be able to meet with you is still unknown. "

"As for the others," Toshio Suzuki glanced back at Qing Zhiyuan. The two parties had reached an agreement in advance, so he can be a little more specific now. There is another in-depth cooperation on a game project.”

Speaking of this, Toshio Suzuki turned his attention to Hayao Miyazaki, and the media also turned their cameras on the latter.

"Well...how should I put it?" Hayao Miyazaki took the microphone and responded seriously, "It's like this, during a chat with President Qing Zhiyuan, he sent me [Can you draw a picture for our game? A few original paintings] Such an invitation.

I was a little hesitant at the time.

Not for any other reason.

Mainly worrying about whether I can do the job.

For me, this is a brand new challenge. After all, I am just an animator and have no understanding of games at all.

But for this game, when I received the commission from President Qing Zhiyuan, I read the relevant script and decided to agree.

The script alone is good enough, it has struck me, and with the idea in my mind, I think it has to be done. "

……

Several people took turns to explain, and briefly introduced some of the content of the cooperation with each other, but the design and the specifics were all mentioned in one stroke.

Then it's time for free questions.

"Well, can you tell me the name of the animation that Ghibli will produce?!" The reporter from TEPCO raised his hand.

Toshio Suzuki and Hayao Miyazaki looked at each other, and everyone discussed it, and they seemed to think that there should be no big problem in announcing the name now.

"The current tentative name is "Princess Mononoke", but we can't say more about the specific content. It is still in the preliminary production and the cycle is very long." Toshio Suzuki responded.

Media reporters are like vicious dogs. If you don't feed them some bones, they probably won't be satisfied.

At least after hearing the specific names, the reporters showed knowing smiles on their faces.

In any case, even if you don't know what the content of the animation is, the name alone is enough to make people daydream.

Tomorrow's report has more or less something to write about, rather than knowing nothing.

Afterwards, the reporters asked some innocuous questions, such as how Hayao Miyazaki wanted to come back, why he decided to make such a work, and what kind of thoughts and ideas...

Hayao Miyazaki has nothing to comment on these things, basically he just prevaricates as he can.

The flashes on the scene flickered randomly, but most of them were focused on Ghibli.

This is also a matter of course.

Even Pokeni is considered well-known in the game industry, but it is far behind Hayao Miyazaki.

Even the media at the scene basically recognized a fact in their hearts——

This wave belongs to pokeni rubbing against Ghibli's thigh.

In fact, they overlooked an important point. Last year, pokeni's revenue reached more than 300 billion yuan, and its net profit was more than 100 billion yuan. This is already the sum of the box office of several Ghibli movies.

Now the most profitable "Porco Rosso" only has a box office of 54 billion yen.

What I really want to say is that pokeni should be richer and richer.

……

The atmosphere at the scene was particularly enthusiastic, mainly because the news this time was too unexpected. After all, Studio Ghibli has never authorized any game developer for gamification except for "Nausicaa of the Wind" after so many years .

Moreover, it is unheard of for Hayao Miyazaki to draw original paintings for other games, it is simply a fantasy.

The press conference is coming to an end.

"last question."

Qing Zhiyuan glanced around, and finally his eyes fell on one of the unremarkable little reporters——

Reiko Katayama of Golotone.

Today Famitong and Goletong, as well as related game magazine reporters, are here, but there are more TV stations and animation industry.

"Hello! I just want to ask a question." Reiko Katayama took the microphone.

"Excuse me."

"Who is the producer of pokeni? Is it Mika Ishino? Or Shinji Mikami?"

"Well... neither."

Qing Zhiyuan hesitated for two seconds, then made up his mind and said, "It's Teacher Gu Yuan Chunqiu. It's all about several games."

wow~
There was an uproar like a tide immediately below.

The reporters in the game industry had already gone berserk, and drove back to the company to report, leaving only the reporters from other industries standing there with a dazed expression.

"Guyuan Chunqiu, who is this person?"

"Yeah, who is Guyuan Chunqiu? Is he very powerful?"

"Why are they so surprised to hear that name?"

"Huh? Why are they all gone?"

……

In the early morning of the next day, in Guo Letong's urgent special issue, there was an explosive message on the front page:

[Galgame legendary producer Chunqiu Guyuan is about to come back, and he will join hands with master Hayao Miyazaki to make a new game! 】

"What?! Guyuan Chunqiu is coming back?!"

……
