Chapter 295 Who Affects Who
"Friends, there are players, stores, publishers, and authors, covering the entire upstream and downstream industry chain of this industry. Of course, most of the original players have gradually become the current stores. Everyone wants to get a share of this crisis. The majority will return, but before the end, everyone feels that they are the small group of winners."

"I think a highly condensed product of life can give you the opportunity to experience Sims life relatively easily and quickly. And more importantly, this is not a dream acting alone, but 5-8 young people of the same age. The daydream, which empowers your interactions and relationships with each other, is an addictive core element."

Ding Xu nodded, and had to say that don’t read the script, it’s as simple as a few people gathered around a table, but it has a certain degree of novel attributes, plus the interpretation has a bit of drama and movie meaning, plus the mechanism has It’s a bit of a board game, and it’s a bit of a cosplay with a costume change, and it’s a bit of a social icebreaker with wine...

It is indeed a rich and inclusive field!

Of course, there are obvious limitations. In order to ensure the sense of experience and freshness, players cannot know the quality of the content before finishing a script.

That is to say, after playing, whether it is good or bad, the time, energy and money have been paid, and the one-time experience of the product is like opening a blind box. Is there good or bad?

What came into being was the word-of-mouth inquiry between players, or the selection of a specific script based on trust in the store.

The distinctive role is that of the leader, which refers to the initiator of the script killing organization. He is generally responsible for organizing event personnel, determining location scripts, and many other voluntary tasks.There is a strange phenomenon that girls are usually at the front of the car?

"Playing so many of your favorite types of scripts?"

"Of course it's an emotional immersion book!" Huahua said without hesitation: "The core of most stories is to deduce the murderer and restore the story. I call this kind of script a reasoning book."

"The main audience comes from audiences and reasoning fans of variety shows such as "Star Detective". public."

"The mechanism/camp book that appeared later, although it also needs the content of the script as a basis, its core gameplay is born out of the board game. As a script game, it not only reduces the learning cost of the board game, but also uses the story to make players more friendly. into the game."

"This type of script is very attractive to traditional board game players and players with weak reasoning skills but keen on camp PK. It is the first self-growth of script killers."

"Until the emergence of emotionally immersive scripts, it satisfies the desire of a large number of potential players for stories from the root. Suffering from the shortness and ordinaryness of life, stories have always been an in-depth exploration of human life. Players read stories through text, through film and television. Watch the story, but currently you can use the lowest threshold to participate in the story and share the feelings.”

Ding Xu sighed secretly. After the interview, he already understood the way script killing this emerging industry.The first thing to face is the stigma in public opinion.

Due to the increasing popularity and influence among young people, there have been a lot of negative content about script killing in public opinion.I don't understand the script killing, and it is polite to define the game as an adult play house.

There are also many people who show a clear tendency to stigmatize. They say that script killing is "just using games to tease girls and steal men", "who would play script killing if a serious person", "isn't this just spending money to find guilt?" Love should not be killed by playing with scripts."

Although it is clear that most script players are distracted, but these people with deep prejudices stubbornly think that playing scripts is just to get rid of the kidneys?
These evaluations will affect the conversion of new players to a certain extent, and also cast a shadow over the script killing industry.

After all, this is still an emerging entertainment category, and the supervision and approval that is a headache for the literature and film and television industries has not yet paid attention to this industry.Of course, this has advantages and disadvantages. The advantages are obvious, which lies in the freedom of script creation content and endless imagination space, otherwise the explosion of scripts would not become a reality today.

The downside is that the current content control is entirely up to the author and the consciousness of the publisher. Once an officially recognized cross-line behavior occurs, it will bring an immeasurable and serious blow to the industry.

Piracy can be called a cancer in any industry that takes content as its core competitiveness.However, in the script killing industry, the only ones who really resist pirated scripts and pirated stores are often the victimized publishers and stores. Most players often don’t care, and the law cannot give substantial support.If things go on like this, it is easy to form a broken window effect.

Another major feature is that the barriers to entry into the industry are extremely low.Many players and DMs have chosen to open their own stores after they have a certain understanding of the industry.

Compared with the boom in store openings, behind this seemingly contradictory phenomenon are three big mountains facing drama-killing stores:
The first is the pressure brought by the rent. The higher the first-tier cities, the more money it will cost to play a script.Taking Beijing as an example, if a player participated in a script killing 19 years ago, the price will probably be 80-150 yuan.

But now this price range has risen to 150~240 yuan, and newly opened stores are constantly raising the price level of script killing.

The second is the involution brought about by the fierce competition among stores.Numerous competitors force store owners to constantly tap potential and innovate in various aspects such as room size, decoration and scenery, dressing, props, lighting, speakers, projection, large screen, and multimedia.

It is also forced to pay more effort and cost in the exhibition to compete for a good script.While this isn't a bad thing for players, the resulting increase in costs is real.

The third is that the store cannot maintain a stable DM team.A perfect script killing experience is jointly created by scripts, stores, DMs and players themselves.

An excellent DM is the same as an excellent script, which will bring a large number of players who come here admiringly. It also takes a long time for the script store to cultivate an excellent DM from scratch.

However, DMs are very mobile. Job-hopping and opening a store are both options for an excellent DM. The departure of a DM will also take away many old players, which will become an unspeakable pain for the script store.

"I used to be obsessed with the script, but now..." Huahua suddenly said, "It's more fun to discover the stories about the players."

"You can see countless joys and sorrows, love and hatred, some people find their true lover through script killing; some get to know people from other industries through script killing and become close friends; ..."

"Right now I'm thinking about a question a lot."

"What does script killing mean to us?"

Ding Xu didn't expect to be raised to discuss life all of a sudden, maybe for different people, this question will have different answers.But there is no doubt that because the script kill requires the player to play the role of the script, it will inevitably require the player to empathize, which greatly blurs the boundary between the game and reality.

Many players substituted the emotions in the script into the real world. Some players in the same car became friends because of playing a certain script, and some couples went their separate ways because of playing a certain script, which caused this phenomenon that the game reflected in reality.

In other words, maybe it's not the empathy in script killing that affects players, but players who are prone to empathy like playing script killing?
