Anti-War Game: Starting from Normandy Campaign-Chapter 683 - 329: [The Abandoned Blue Star Film Company, New Immersive Character Experiences]
Upon hearing this.
The producers in the meeting room were all overwhelmed, and some even felt despair.
Oh, damn it...
Actually, the three war movies they planned.
Primarily tell the story of a young boy joining the army in the first movie, enduring countless hardships to defeat the enemy, the country is established, and everything flourishes.
In the second movie, the boy has reached middle age, the country is engulfed in war again, and this time he leads his children to enlist, experiencing a series of brutal battles and repelling the enemy, but the children all die.
By the third movie, he is elderly with gray hair and enlists again... only to fall on the eve of victory.
If these films were released before those by Polestar, given their popularity and with support from the [Federation Official] for a year, these three movies could have become a classic IP.
They could even have been passed down for a long time.
But now...
What can be passed down anymore?
Damn it, with the release of these Polestar movies, not to mention those with similar experiences as the first film featuring youth enlisting.
Even the later ones, with middle-aged warriors defending the homeland and the elderly charging once more.
If they were produced and released now, they’d be lambasted, and they could already hear the Soviet Union cursing them:
"Who the hell are you trying to kid?"
The series of movies they designed, if made before Polestar’s films.
On that side, it was just a simple game, and there was no interference, but after Polestar’s movie releases.... sorry.
It seems like they just copied it.
And it’s not just a little similar; there are unknown numbers of movies on Polestar’s side starting this way.
You can’t accuse them of copying.
Because they’re directly pulling from the in-game storyline.
As for the [World War II] series, they aren’t relics of the past, and they’ve obviously played them, especially the [World War I] and [World War II] Soviet Union eras.
The main character design they created for this series is mirrored by countless people in the Soviet Union.
One could say the first movie has already been blocked.
No way out.
Polestar already has so many similar openings.
They’ve got seven or eight movies with similar openings, whether modern or ancient, who’s going to watch your Federation-backed movie?
They all follow a similar pattern.
And, while theirs have already been made and released, yours isn’t even finished yet.
What can compete with that?
Dong Ming rubbed his temples, initially feeling some ambition yesterday, thinking they might not be worse than Polestar and might suddenly become popular.
But now with seven or eight similar ones coming out, forget it.
Just scrap it.
At this moment.
The producer on Dong Ming’s right side said helplessly:
"It’s not just Polestar."
"Look at the news online now."
"All the major game companies are setting up projects for their NPCs."
"I just searched around."
"For our movie’s storyline, not only are there seven or eight similar ones on Polestar, but several game companies have also published NPC experiences that are quite similar online."
"Take a look at this one, for example."
Saying that, the producer projected the image onto the center of the meeting room.
It showed an old man in armor, bearing a stern expression and holding a longsword, and the producer on the right said:
"This is the Sword Saint from the fantasy legend game, of the Human Kingdom."
"He enlisted in the army due to war as a youth, became a general in his youth, but returned home to farm after the war ended; during middle age, with war resuming, he resolutely enlisted again...."
Upon hearing this.
The faces in the meeting room turned dark.
It’s no longer about whether it’s similar to theirs or not.
According to the Sword Saint’s life background.
It’s essentially just a change in setting from their movie, isn’t it?
Once these movies are released, their movie won’t stand a chance.
If just dealing with Polestar was difficult, who knows how many competitors are outside.... the movie’s finished!
Without knowing the internal cries of the people.
Dong Ming had completely given up.
No way to fight.
Simply no way to fight.
How could they fight?
Dong Ming rubbed his face, taking a deep breath:
"Alright."
"Let’s just give up."
"Let’s all study and see what directions we can take."
"Given the current situation."
"Each of you should find a new position, prioritize game companies."
"After all, they’re in game development, and when it comes to controlling movie timing and such, they can’t compare to us. Plus, now that so many game companies are making movies, it’s easier to find a job now."
"Once the market is saturated, it’ll be too late."
Upon hearing this.
The people in the meeting room understood as well.
Many game companies are hiring now, even looking for film production students who haven’t graduated yet.
If they wait any longer, the positions might be filled.
Compared to those students, their advantage is just years of experience. But even then, they can’t overshadow the many talented producers who emerge every year.
Soon.
The lights in Yunyi Film Group’s meeting room went out.
And along with the lights.
The group of film producers also dispersed.
A few days later.
Before they had found new jobs, they were almost entirely packaged and sent to Shen Qinghan’s company, then....
They were invested in the production of a new project.
Somehow, Dong Ming just felt something was off.
They were clearly independent producers chasing dreams, how did they suddenly become assembly line workers?
Calling it an assembly line isn’t right either.
Because Polestar Company provided complete character plots, and they were all different.
They needed to edit and produce them themselves.
Meanwhile.
Upon seeing Polestar’s massive database, with character numbers already over 20,000, Dong Ming’s unrest vanished. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
Over 20,000 character numbers?
If all were made into films, that’d be over 20,000 movies.
What could individual producers compete with?
Making one movie a day from age 20, it would take till age 74 to finish 20,000 films.
Moreover, Polestar’s database.
Has surpassed 20,000 numbers.
Dong Ming shook his head.
Looking at the work before him, it wasn’t troublesome.
After all, Polestar had provided all the scripts.
Everyone was assigned some, they only had to finish them within the stipulated time, given this workload, it was like working two hours a day and resting for six hours.
Dong Ming and his team were absorbed by Shen Qinghan.
Meanwhile, the outside world.
Still unaware of the situation inside Polestar.
Although Polestar had first seized the market, other game companies, after working overtime, also gradually released their respective NPC life story films.
Though they couldn’t compare to Polestar in quantity and plot.
But there was one thing.
Large quantity, enough to satisfy everyone.
This was Yunyi Film Group’s previous evaluation of Polestar, and now it’s how Blue Star netizens evaluate those game companies.
After all, Polestar’s movie backgrounds are always limited to Earth.
While these other game companies have backgrounds in immortal cultivation worlds, fantasy worlds, steampunk worlds, apocalypse future worlds, all sorts of variations.
With so many game companies continually releasing their films.
Truly achieving the phrase "large quantity, enough to satisfy everyone."
Some advertisements were even more attractive than the plot itself.
[Tired of human wars? Come see the union of succubus and elves....]
Succubus... and elven union?!
That....
Has to be watched!
In Blue Star, sensationalist themes also have a huge appeal.
Blue Star’s movies are flourishing like mushrooms after rain.
At that time.
Sky Shark Live Platform.
Seasoned gamers were already thinking about a more immersive experience.
[Movie version] while large and satisfying, attracts the general public.
[Immersive mode] on the other hand, attracts a wide range of gamers.
All thinking of ways to enhance their performance in the storyline, to earn more impressive [Hall of Fame] character immersive experience qualifications during the settlement.
In Yu Feng’s live broadcast room.
After a few days of hard work, Yu Feng completed a series of storylines and settled again.
Only this time, compared to last time.
This time could only be described as average. Fortunately, with the initial accumulation, this time’s rewards didn’t lessen much; they remained at the same level as before.
This time.
Amidst the Blue Star netizen bullet comments in the live broadcast room, Yu Feng said:
"Alright, brothers."
"This time I’ll choose ’Rommel’ for an immersive experience."
"It’s just right to follow ’Rommel’s’ perspective to see the situation at that time. Although player storylines and later revelations showed that Rommel committed suicide."
"But the specific circumstances aren’t clear."
"This time, it’s perfect to see everything from ’Rommel’s’ perspective."
