Post-shadow Development Plan

Qiye smiled: "This is generally the case for dark works."

"But I don't like it. I think I'm exhausted. All the plots I can think of that can scare players are all kinds of cruel ways to die. This is very abnormal."

Lao Xu lowered his head, and said slowly: "I know that if I write this story, coupled with my name, it will definitely not make the company lose money. But..."

"But you want those players to get more after reading your story?"

Qiye completed what Lao Xu had said.

"That's it."

Lao Xu patted the table hard, "According to my current outline, I just wrote a story of Jump scare, but I hope the story can be more in-depth."

"It's not the depth of human nature, so the story will only be obscure."

Having been with Qiye for so long, Lao Xu is of course well aware that the word "obscure" is a taboo in commercial works.

"Let's put it this way, old man."

Qiye tapped her finger on the table: "You want to scare people with a more clever method than Jump scare, right? In your dream, you hope that your story doesn't just scare people, but that every time everyone mentions you stories, will have a chill down the spine and a sense of horror?"

"Yes, this is what I hope. Kiryu-san, you really are my confidant! Only you are the one who understands me best!"

Lao Xu looked at Qiye longingly.

Qiye shuddered at the sight of Lao Xu, and he quickly waved his hand to deny it.

"I'm not, I'm not, I don't want to be beaten to death."

pS: Explain to children's shoes who don't know about Jump scare.

The so-called Jump scare refers to the sudden appearance of the picture and the shocking sound effect at the same time. To put it bluntly, it means jumping out to scare you.

Chapter 475 Horror, Horror, and Weirdness

Of course, beating to death is a joke, but Qiye knows where Laoxu's symptoms are.

"That's right, old man."

Qiye thought about it for a while. He first poured a glass of water for the other party, and then asked, "What kind of story do you want to write? Horror, horror, or weirdness?"

Because he was very familiar with Qiye, Lao Xu was not polite, and asked directly: "Is there any difference?"

Qiye smiled: "Although these three types are the main three methods of scary stories, and the levels are progressive. Human works of art want to express fear. There are only these three forms of expression. They are also A concrete manifestation of the emotion of fear in the course of human development."

Lao Xu is not a person who listens and believes. After hearing Qiye's narration, he began to quietly think about the specific differences between the three words horror, horror and weirdness.

"Kiryu-san, you just said the development of human history?" Lao Xu asked slowly.

"Yes, fear, as an innate emotion of human beings, has played an important role in the process of human evolution."

Qiye gently gestured on the table with her hands: "Because falling from a high place will kill us, we will instinctively fear high places; because we will be burned to death if caught on fire, we will have an instinctive fear of flames; because beasts would kill us, so we would be afraid of the big predators like lions and tigers."

"Indeed." Ziyuan nodded thoughtfully, "According to Nanaya, the word fear can be said to be a biological instinct engraved in human genes. And it is precisely because of this emotion of fear that those who seek excitement Talent will continue to challenge the limit."

"Actually, you don't have to be so euphemistic, just call that kind of behavior death." Qiye shrugged and replied, "Human ancestors paid countless painful prices to let us know the danger of these things. Theirs Behavior is a complete denial of the instinct of human evolution over millions of years."

"Does this topic have anything to do with fear?"

"Of course." Qiye answered Lao Xu's question, "Although I don't like to use my body to try to challenge some extreme sports, I can't deny that the pursuit of this thing actually has the concept of human beings challenging terror."

"so?"

Seeing that Qiye stopped suddenly, Lao Xu was a little anxious.

"It's kind of skipped a link, let's start from the beginning."

After thinking for a while, Qiye explained: "We start from the origin of human development. If we choose a thing that runs through human evolution and civilization development, and can best represent horror elements, I personally think that snakes are the most representative. Yes. Do you know why?"

"Because disgusting enough?"

This sentence was said by Ziyuan, and from the expression on her face, it can be seen that she really doesn't like snakes very much.

"more or less."

Qiye felt that he seemed to have discovered a small weakness of the boss, but he didn't intend to confirm it foolishly.

"Primitive society, no, it should be said that people's fear of snakes already existed before human beings had a definite civilization."

"Oh?"

Lao Xu sat up straight, his writing material is the best content for him.

"Humans have evolved bit by bit from primitive people. In ancient times, undeveloped humans could not understand the concept of [poison]. Therefore, although they can understand that being attacked by ferocious beasts will lead to death, because even monkeys Everyone can understand that people will definitely not survive after being eaten."

"However, human beings at that time could not understand how poisonous snakes killed people, and why they could kill people directly with two wounds the size of pinholes. In the eyes of human beings at that time, this kind of weird thing was completely beyond their understanding. outside the comprehensible laws of nature."

"That's why, whether in the East or the West, the older the myths and legends, the more snakes exist. And no matter whether the snake's role in the myth is positive or negative, its status will be very high."

"I can think of a lot."

Lao Xu's literary literacy is not low, and he immediately thought of a lot of similar gods.

"When humans began to evolve, when humans began to understand that snakes are not gods, but use snake venom to kill prey and enemies. Humans began to try to use snake venom or other poisons. At this time, humans have begun to show their ambitions , they were not willing to succumb to fear, but began to try to overcome it."

Lao Xu took a sip of his coffee, and then jokingly said, "So snakes have become the targets of people hunting?"
