Time, 3 days have passed.
During this period, everything was calm and nothing happened.
Meng Shu also used this time to go all out to develop the game.
There has been no news since the secretary of Infinite Entertainment called.
Only Supervisor Lian asked for details on the letter.
Meng Shu did not hold anything back and told the secretary everything he said.
This made Director Lian speak sullenly and vowed that Mr. Liang would come forward to resolve the matter.
Just ask Mr. Meng to give them some time.
Meng Shu smiled, and by asking Supervisor Lian, he learned the cause and effect of the matter.
To put it simply, it was a miscalculation by a senior executive of Infinite Entertainment that led to this unpleasant incident.
After Meng Shu heard this, he said it was nothing, but in fact, he had already given Infinite Entertainment this last chance in his heart.
After all, this time, his bottom line was touched.
If copyright were a thing in the original world, as long as someone bought it, he would definitely sell it like crazy.
But now, as he is not short of money, there is no need for him to get involved in the entertainment industry and practice these games.
Because once the adaptation is not done well, the worst-case scenario is that the reputation will collapse.
The Chinese entertainment industry in this world, like the original world, is in the age of traffic.
In other words, it’s the kind of era where a celebrity is launched in two or three years to capture young audiences, and then a month or two is spent remaking classic works to launder money.
This has led to the fact that all the stars are clean, white and tender little fresh meat, and it has also led to the fact that film and television works are competing against each other as rubbish.
Basically, the current Chinese entertainment industry can be summed up in two words: making money.
Meng Shu didn't want to throw his game into a deep swamp like this and then take it out covered in smelly mud for others to watch.
He would not send the game to such an insincere entertainment industry.
On the other hand, Meng Shu is not worried about what to do with the distribution issue after Infinite Entertainment disappears.
He now has enough funds to publish it himself.
The trouble is that you have to negotiate channel resources one by one.
This does not include foreign ones.
Therefore, if it really comes to the point of breaking up, he will have to open a department dedicated to game publishing.
Although it is troublesome, as long as he does things well, his game will really be profitable for himself!
After hanging up the phone with supervisor Lian, Meng Shu began to upload information on the recruitment website, and then continued to invest in development work.
At this time, it is 11 o'clock in the morning.
While Meng Shu was working hard, a piece of breaking news was suddenly announced on v-blog.
It’s a technical game!
On v-blog, they posted a short article, the general content of which is:
Thanks to the players for waiting patiently. Amid high expectations, our game "Bloody Scientist" has finally been completed!
Remember what we once said?

…
This v-blog of Jiyou was quickly forwarded by various major v-blogs and cooperative manufacturers, and it didn't take long for it to attract the attention of the gamer circle.
Nani!
Is "The Bloody Scientist" finished?
See you there on July 15th?
It happens to be the beginning of July now, so that means the game will be released in two weeks?
Players are no longer unfamiliar with this game.
From the "shooting + horror" gimmick when it was announced to the "refreshing feeling" that has been mentioned all the time, it can be said that players have listened to it over and over again.
But for a long time, the original selling point, which was relatively new, was given 'priority' by "Sky Mountain", the only game in the same genre.
It works very well!
As for the feeling of coolness, players can experience it in the DLC of "Control Failure", "Secret Laboratory".
That feeling of being online is really such a joy!
So, you have to ask, is "Bloody Scientist" competitive? Players may just want a sense of freshness.
Therefore, in the comments below the v-blog, players expressed their opinions one after another.
"The game will be released soon. After waiting for so long, I should be looking forward to it. But I don't know why, but suddenly it doesn't matter. Am I electronically impotent?"
"To be honest, after watching the trailer, watching the promotional video, and watching the press conference, I felt like it was just an ordinary alien-fighting game. Is it really going to be fun..."
"I don't know what the plot is like. It's a space opera, but don't give me the whole bloody drama."
"I was originally worried about whether it was scary enough, but now I don't have to worry about it. Because it's definitely not scary."
"Be confident, there is no fear!"
"I believe it feels good. I feel so good watching the video of shooting. It's just that it's scary... just watch it, it's definitely not comparable to the only game."
"Again, it's a shame to sell dog meat on a sheep's head, and it's really a shame to show off your chili pepper!"
"Wow, big production! Based on the past high prices of technical games, I can see that this game is going to sell for several thousand dollars."
"499, I guessed it, but it's better not to guess right, because I can't afford such an expensive royal game."
With the discussions among players, coupled with the leading positioning of the game itself in the country.
In just one morning, it was on the v-blog hot search list and became known to countless people.
And Mr. An of Jiyou is even more happy. This is a hot search without spending any money. It is really a good start.
As long as more people know about it, the sales volume will not decrease.
The market for horror games is finally established.
but…
He never expected it.
As soon as noon passed, the trending searches fell out of the rankings and were replaced by another news.
It was a hot search titled: [Dead Space is going to be a movie], and it was prominently placed on the ranking list.
What is Dead Space?
Maybe many passers-by and netizens don't know, but most game players understand it very well.
That's the only new game! Space horror game!
For such a game, there is only one e3 promotional video on the Internet.
However, because the duration is too short, and the content displayed is mainly exploration and combat, the players do not know how this game will be played, and they are just looking forward to it silently based on the reputation of the only game.
Another point is the intermittent stage play clips online.
There is one scene that makes players very excited.
That is a woman covered in layers of silver armor like a transformation.
Not to mention how handsome he looks!
Just why is the protagonist in the e3 promotional video not wearing a battle armor?
Can the protagonist in the game transform like that woman?
Everything is a mystery.
But also because of this mystery, Dead Space has been hotly discussed among the player community and full of expectations.
And now, it was suddenly revealed that Dead Space was going to be filmed in a movie. This was equivalent to a depth charge exploding, causing a huge stir!
As a result, countless netizens and players clicked on the hot search to find out.
I discovered that the most popular post was posted by a 'venomous film critic'!
As a veteran certified v-blogger with more than 8 million fans, he can be said to be merciless.
Now, he posted a post revealing the latest list of approved movies/TV series in China.
The title is:
[The latest batch of preparation notices from the National Film Administration, see if any of them are familiar to you]
Then there are two screenshots, which list many movies and TV series that will be released in the second half of this year and next year.
Among them, there are many screenwriters and directors who are familiar to the public.
For example, "The Artillery Survivor" by a certain director named Zhang, judging from the name, it should be a war movie.
There is also "Meng Po's Style" directed by a certain Li. No one would think this is a horror film, right? At first glance, you can tell it is a fairy tale love story.
In addition to the two directors mentioned above, there are also many outstanding directors and screenwriters whose works have passed review, making everyone express their high expectations.
The one at the bottom of the list is the main factor in this hot search.
Title: "Dead Space"
Prepared by: Tiancheng Pictures Co., Ltd.
Director/Screenwriter: Chen Wen, Jin Minghua
Preparation result: Agree to shoot
Summary:
In the endless deep space, a huge spaceship drifts. Inside, unknown to anyone, a brutal and inhumane death crisis is occurring! As a spaceship survivor, how can she save herself and survive? On this arduous road, what kind of people will she meet who help each other? In the end, can she escape? Can she meet the other half to whom she can entrust her life? Everything is in dead space!
…
Netizens were stunned, it seems to be true.
Dead Space is going to be a movie, I really don’t know if it’s a good thing or a bad thing...
A game is not enough. Do you need to make a movie to increase your popularity?
Players didn’t know, but they had changed their minds about horror games and forwarded them to other platforms.
For a time, the horror movie "Dead Space" of the same name aroused enthusiastic responses on the Internet, causing many netizens to discuss it and directly forget about "The Bloody Scientist", and no one paid attention to it.
"Dead Space is going to be a movie? Damn it! There's no news about the game yet, and the movie is already being prepared?"
"Dead Space is a game? A movie adapted from a game? Forgive me for not playing games..."
"As a player, I don't even know what the story of the game Dead Space is, so the movie comes out first? Don't spoil the game in the movie."
"I searched Dead Space, Nest, and watched the promotional video. Is this movie a horror movie?"
"Anyway, the game is a horror game, and the movie is probably also a horror movie. Will Shiu Guang participate in the filming?"
"Same question, without Shui Guang, it's hard for me not to worry about whether this movie is trying to sell sheep over dogs."
"I'm worried about whether the movie will hold back the game. Shuoguang's operation is intriguing. It would be bad if the movie is not shot well and it affects the game."
"It's not that I don't watch movies, it's just that today's horror movies are just a joke. If you look at this synopsis, the love element is definitely the same!"
"Believe in the only game, believe in Shuoguang. It's normal for people to enter the entertainment industry. Let's see if the movie will be a surprise."
"I'm just curious about who the lead actor is. From the synopsis, it looks like she's a woman. I don't know which veteran actor she is. But don't be one of those delicate little fresh meats!"
"I'm just waiting for the follow-up news. I just ask that I don't make a romance movie in the name of horror. I'm really tired of watching it!"
...
For a time, due to the hot search, both gamers and non-gamers were talking about the Dead Space movie on the Internet.
Many people commented and wanted to know whether the movie was good or not.
Among them, some people expressed that they were not optimistic about the movie.
Because everyone knows how bad the horror movies in the past were, and they were just money laundering stuff.
However, talk is talk.
Because of the Dead Space movie, the e3 promotional video, which was originally only known to gamers, has gradually become known to passers-by and has increased in number of plays.
It is also for this reason that Dead Space, a horror game that has not yet been released, is known to more people.
The original "Bloody Scientist" was no longer discussed after only half a day.
This made Mr. An look ugly in the office.
The company's hard work...
The game is about to be released, so nothing can go wrong!
Publicity and promotion must also be warmed up immediately!
Just when Mr. An was about to apply for advertising and promotion fees, a piece of breaking news broke out on the Internet again, instantly affecting the trend.
That was Shuo Guang on Danmaku.com, a notice he posted under his feed.
Just 3 items above:
1. The Dead Space movie circulating on the Internet has nothing to do with our company's game IP "Dead Space". Please do not spread rumors.
2. Our company has not authorized the use of the 'Dead Space' name and trademark, and we do not plan to make "Dead Space" into a movie in the near future. Any group of companies that profit from the name 'Dead Space' has committed an infringement.
3. We will protect our own rights and interests in accordance with the law and will fight to the end against this infringement.
As soon as the news came out, the whole network was in an uproar.
Netizens originally thought that the Dead Space movie was jointly produced by Shuoguang and Tiancheng Pictures.
I didn’t expect it to be the case!
This is an infringement!
It turns out that That City Pictures took advantage of the popularity of other people’s games!
Netizens immediately thought that if this continues, when the game comes out in the future, when people search for the words "Dead Space", what comes out may not be the game...
But a movie!
Good guy! It's a steal, right?
Players figured out the causes and consequences of this and expressed their support for rights protection in Shuoguang News.
"Fuck his grandma! These movie-making guys don't even have the face!"
"Just to ride on the popularity, the movie will definitely come out before the game, no need to think about it! Everyone has seen what the movie has been like in the past few years. It will definitely ruin the reputation of Dead Space!"
"You're right. Once the game is released, sales will definitely be affected because of the movie!"
"Support rights protection! Support Shuoguang to kill him! With Infinite Entertainment here, this kind of thing can't happen, right?"
"I've already said that I'm just trying to get fame and popularity, and I don't even give up my face for the sake of money. In all likelihood, it's a money-laundered work, and the movie will definitely be bad by then!"
"I thought I would finally be able to see a real horror movie, but after working on it for a long time, it turned out not to be the case. Damn it! We must not let the movie ruin the reputation of the game and support rights protection!"
However, one wave has not subsided, and another wave has arisen.
The day after Meng Shu posted the news, V-Bot’s Infinite Entertainment also issued a notice.
Its content directly stunned netizens.
The above roughly means:
The name and trademark 'Dead Space' is owned by Infinite Entertainment and has legal multi-field qualification certificate documents.
(Qualification picture.jpg)*n
The only game that named the work 'Dead Space' has violated the trademark law and is not a protected work under copyright provisions. They will be legally responsible.
The trademark registration of the only game damaged Infinite Entertainment's prior rights to the name "Dead Space" and also affected the subsequent business content of Infinite Entertainment.
We will sue the only game for unfair and malicious competition and retain our own rights.
At the same time, Bincheng's Tiancheng Pictures enjoys the legal right to use the name 'Dead Space' and does not have the infringement issue claimed by the only game.
Justice prevails in the hearts of the people, and we will defend our rights in accordance with the law!
...
...
Netizens were confused and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.
Isn't it that Tiancheng Pictures that took advantage of the popularity first?
Isn't Dead Space the only game with its own branded IP?
Isn’t Infinite Entertainment their publisher?
Why did the wind direction change in just one night...
What the hell happened...
Netizens don’t know, but Mr. Liang of Infinite Entertainment understands the cause and effect of the matter.
In the general manager's office, looking at the termination contract with the only game in his hand, he, who was always calm, said something coldly to Director Lian.
"Inform the senior management and come to the 42nd floor for a meeting."
