Meng Shu turned on the speakerphone and poured himself a glass of water.
On the phone, Mr. Zhang still took the trouble to speak.
[Mr. Meng, your micro-movie is currently gaining popularity, popularity and reputation. If you don’t strike while the iron is hot, this work of art will be somewhat buried. Nowadays, many people on the Internet say that your short film is not interesting enough, and they hope it can be made into a movie or TV series. ]
[I know you are busy, so we are providing staff. Tiancheng Pictures has been established for more than 30 years and has many popular artists. Do you know Liao Xiaoxiao? He is the star of the TV series "The Beauty of the City". They are also our artists. "The Beauty of the City" was also filmed and financed by us, so you can rest assured to leave the film rights to us. ]
[As for directors, I have several capable directors who I have worked with. Such as the director of "War Crimes" and "Evolution". Director of "Breaking Potential" and "Progress" to name a few. ]
Meng Shu didn't show much emotion when he heard this.
He took a sip of water and clicked on the scene element engineering file that Xia Nianzhen sent last night. Watch and respond.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm very grateful for your attention, and I'm very happy that you can appreciate this short film. But as I just said, I have no idea of turning it into a movie yet. I don't plan to sell the copyright. I hope you can understand."
The person on the other end of the phone was stunned, and now he became curious.
[Mr. Meng, you refused before we even discussed the price. This is really against the rules. Do you have a choice? And I don’t understand. Your short film has become a very popular topic, so why don’t you strike while the iron is hot? If it is made into a movie, it will definitely become famous. ]
Why...?
Of course I don’t want you to write random stories just for the sake of box office.
With the current horror market and your understanding of horror culture, can you make any good stories?
"The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is in front of you, can you learn the techniques in it?
Find some popular traffic to shoot W-087?
Don't fall in love when the time comes.
Who can stand the fight between you and me in this dark stairwell?
That not only ruined the reputation of my only game, but also the Federal Bureau of Control and Paranormal Anomaly that were shaped through four games.
Did I not know how topical the short film was?
But my original intention is to build momentum for the next game, not to sell the copyright!
Meng Shu shook his head in his heart, but there was no expression on his face.
"Mr. Zhang, let's do this. Give me some time to think about it. I'm very busy recently and can't spare the time to take care of this matter. I hope you can give me some time, thank you."
Mr. Zhang on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped and felt a little resentful.
Apparently, he also knew he had gone a little too far.
[This... Since you have said so, Mr. Meng, then I can't keep disturbing you. Please think about it carefully. Is it okay for these two days? Once you've thought about it, just call this number. I'll be there at any time. ]
"Okay, I will contact you, Mr. Zhang."
[Then I’ll wait for your call, Mr. Meng. ]
...
After hanging up the phone, Meng Shu breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back on the chair, and looked at the ceiling.
Things went beyond his prediction.
Whether W-087's short film will be a hit or not, there is no doubt before it is posted to Danmaku.com.
But what Meng Shu didn't expect was that the video was a bit too popular.
So much so that a large number of people who don’t play games, as well as people overseas, know about it.
What’s even more funny is that some people on the Internet are even comparing W-087’s short film with horror movies produced by other big companies, and they are making a show of praising it and criticizing it.
Perhaps it was because of this that Meng Shu received a call from the entertainment industry, wanting to purchase the film rights to W-087.
To be honest, if it were in the original world. If a capitalist approached Qin Xuan at the time to buy film and television rights, he would definitely agree without saying a word.
And it will decentralize 100% of the power and let the capital in the entertainment industry operate on its own.
Once it is successfully turned into a film and television, not only will the work become famous, but the people will also become famous.
It was a double happiness, and I still had money to get.
But the end result is that the film-based work may become a beast.
The most intuitive example is "Fighting Qi Transformed into Horses".
But even so, this is still an opportunity that is rare in the world!
But in this world?
He could only chuckle.
That is no longer necessary.
Now, as Meng Shu, with a system that is no different from a plug-in, he no longer needs to consider this so-called opportunity.
Although the work is famous, taking the film and television route is the most convenient and quick way.
Because the group coverage is large, the audience is also large.
But now that Meng Shu is not short of money, he no longer needs to take this helpless route of selling the copyright and letting others mess with W-087.
He also didn't need to let a bunch of people with no experience in horror movies write the script.
Of course, he may be able to serve as a supervisor and control the quality of the plot throughout the entire process.
But in this case, he is equivalent to a transformation, and the game aspect will gradually fade away.
And the crew may not pay attention to him.
So that's not okay.
His system is a game system, the tools are development engines that even a monkey can use, and the mall is a large number of game works.
It's not a director system.
Besides, the entertainment industry is very deep.
He, Meng Shu, didn't want to go in and get smelly.
Just keep working in the game industry and slowly make games.
Stay aloof from the world and try to build good relationships with other manufacturers without any conflicts.
Even if they are fair-weather friends in business, it is better than fighting secretly to the death in the name of competition.
He doesn't even plan to take his company public.
So Meng Shu rejected the request to make W-087 into a movie.
What is protected is word of mouth and reputation, and it also saves a lot of trouble in the entertainment industry.
The most important thing is that he has enough money.
Don't make trouble for yourself.
If netizens want to watch this kind of short film, just shoot it next time.
Maybe next time, it will be the story of W-008.
Meng Shu shook his head when he thought of this, and had no intention of contacting Mr. Zhang.
He sat upright and looked at Xia Nianzhen's scene file in front of the computer.
"Um...no way. This."
What is on the computer screen is a science fiction industrial scene built by Xia Nianzhen based on the concept design PPT and some original paintings.
But this scene is not science fiction enough.
It looks very simple.
It looked like a very poor organization, and Meng Shu shook his head.
Well, Xia Nianzhen is a girl and doesn’t have a deep understanding of the science fiction style, so she can’t create the effect he wants.
However, Meng Shu did not blame Xia Nianzhen for her poor level.
In his opinion, a person always has his own style that he is good at and not good at.
For example, some specialize in medieval magic and fantasy styles. Some are good at modern warfare style. Others may be good at cartoon rendering style.
In short, Meng Shu did not think that his employees were all-round talents from the beginning. They would always have their own shortcomings.
Now Xia Nianzhen's weak points have come out.
She doesn't know how to do science fiction, and the things she makes don't have that flavor.
It is definitely too late to learn now, so the current method of selecting the best is to outsource some of the art resources.
Then...
Then hire an art director who has enough experience and has participated in multiple works to complete and fully control the science fiction art style of the game "Containment Breach".

In the next two days, starting from Chapter 84, the vocabulary of the entire text will be revised. Just modify the vocabulary, the core remains unchanged. Then due to the modified vocabulary, some detailed descriptions will also change. But in short, our book has no big problems!
