Chapter 7 In order not to make money, Mr. Chen decided to participate in the performance in person!
Chen She only knows a little about the job responsibilities of Chaomeng Editor.
This job can be roughly seen as a combination of execution planning in the game and editing in the movie and post-production.
Not only are you responsible for all aspects of super dream production, but you also have a very important responsibility to adjust the emotions brought by super dreams to a suitable range.
Compared with traditional games, the core advantage of Super Dream lies not only in the sense of immersion and substitution, but also in the transmission of emotions.
If you want to make a successful super dream, of course, you should not just raise the positive emotions as high as possible and reduce the negative emotions as much as possible.
You must adjust your emotions to the right level and then match them with the entire super dream content to achieve the best results.
It is like seasoning added when cooking. It doesn’t work if there is too much or less.
And the editor of Chaomeng is the one who adds seasoning to the food.
Zhao Zhen walked over and said a few simple words to Lin Luxi. Then Chen She saw a feeling of confusion and surprise appearing in Lin Luxi's big watery eyes. The little fleshy hands swung repeatedly, subconsciously wanting to refuse.
But of course this was not a problem for Chen She. She fooled her in a few words and accepted this new position.
Chen She turned to Zhao Zhen and said, "Uncle Zhao, go and do your own business. Just leave the Chaomeng thing to me."
Zhao Zhen nodded, gave Lin Luxi a few simple words, and then turned around and left.
As an ordinary super dream editor, Lin Luxi had never dealt with Mr. Chen directly before, and was still a little nervous at this time.
Chen She said with an approachable attitude: "Let me briefly talk about the basic process of super dream production."
Lin Luxi nodded, and then began to introduce the basic process of Super Dream production and some special uses of the editor in a slight voice.
The overall production process is actually similar to Chen She’s previous inferences.
In general, there are two relatively large types of super dreams. The first is the role-playing super dream, and the second is the experience-type super dream.
The two can simply correspond to games and movies.
As the name suggests, the role-playing super dream space is to create a super dream space where you can move freely, allowing players to travel in and play the roles in it freely.
Players experience various content from a first-person perspective and interact with various elements in the super dream, with a relatively high degree of freedom.
An experiential super dream brings the experiencer into a fixed process and emotion, which is equivalent to experiencing an extremely real movie from a first-person perspective. The experiencer is generally not allowed to take actions outside the process.
The former is relatively simple to create. After building a world through various resources, setting up interactive elements, throwing players in.
The production of the latter is more complicated, and on the basis of the former, it also requires super dream actors.
During the performance, the producer will use specific equipment to collect the actions, emotions and other content of the super dream actor, and then edit it and instill it into the player's consciousness.
What players experience is the real emotions collected by the recording device. Although they are edited, they are also "empathy" in the true sense.
And this kind of indoctrination of emotions is not cost-free.
The completed super dream can be taken to the Internet in pure data form, or it can be made into entities and placed directly into the game cabin to experience.
But this is not just the difference between the online version and the CD version, they are fundamentally different in emotional transmission.
The online version of Super Dream allows up to 10% of emotions to be transmitted.
Whether it is positive or negative emotions, they can only be adjusted within 10%.
In theory, the physical version of the super dream can transmit more than 100% of emotions.
Of course, high percentage of emotional transmission is very dangerous. If the pain is adjusted to 100% or even higher, the player may be hurt to death in the super dream, which will cause serious damage to the player's life and health.
Therefore, relevant laws have strict regulations on this aspect, and generally require that negative emotions must not be higher than 30%, otherwise they will not be able to pass the review.
Of course, those Black Super Dreams that are circulating underground do not have so many restrictions, so there are news that they are brain-dead because they look for stimulation in Black Super Dreams.
The reason why the physical version of super dreams can achieve such a high emotional transmission effect is that when making the physical version of super dreams, a special substance called "time and space particles" will be added.
In this world, space-time particles are more precious than gold and crude oil.
It can be used as a high-purity fuel for use in a floating vehicle, or can be mixed with rare metals to create high-strength alloy weapons. It can also be used to make chips and special communication modules.
In short, because of the magical characteristics of space-time particles, it occupies an important position in almost all high-end industries in this world.
It is the absolute hard currency that countless consortiums in this world dream of.
The more negative emotions a physical super dream needs to transmit, the more space-time particles that need to be added, and the cost will naturally be higher.
For Chen She, the existence of space-time particles is quite unscientific.
It seems to be a derivative of the supernatural power of this world, full of mystery.
In addition, the various resources required to construct the virtual world also need to be produced, not without cost.
However, due to technological advancement, many resources can be purchased ready-made or used with simple modifications, so the production time of Chaomeng is greatly shortened compared to the production time of traditional games.
...
After listening to Lin Luxi's story, Chen She felt a little relieved.
Except for the limitations of space-time particles and super dream transmission, he was a little surprised, and other contents were quite similar to his inferences.
The design of "Embers Are Extinguishing" does not require much change.
Thinking of this, Chen She began to explain to Lin Luxi the design details of the entire game, including the overall story background, large map settings, various props and equipment that players can obtain after entering, etc.
Lin Luxi listened carefully, blinking his big eyes, like a primary school student listening to the class carefully.
Chen She was very satisfied with her attitude, so she liked such a tool person who had no ideas and was easier to control.
Lin Luxi did not ask any questions about most of what Chen She said, until Chen She talked about the negative emotional settings of this super dream.
"Change as high as possible the negative emotions this super dream brings to people. I am a kind person, so I can adjust them to 25% first!"
Chen She looked compassionate.
This value of course refers to the physical version of Super Dream, because the maximum value of the online version is only 10%.
Lin Luxi was stunned for a moment and said in surprise: "Mr. Chen, 25% is too high, and the maximum value allowed by law is only 30%!"
"Now most super dreams have a conventional rule, that is, it is best not to exceed 5%, otherwise such negative emotions will easily interfere with the player's gaming experience."
Negative emotions not only include pain, but also the frustration brought to players by super dreams.
The higher the negative emotions are, the more likely the players are to be dismissed. This is an obvious thing.
The reason why Chen She sets negative emotions so high is to persuade players to withdraw, and on the other hand, it is to allow the physical version of super dream to consume more time and space particles and increase the production cost of physical super dreams.
With double insurance, it is even less easy to make money.
Chen She didn't explain much, but just smiled slightly: "Our super dream wants to stand out among many super dreams, of course we have to do some amazing things."
Lin Luxi nodded with some confusion: "Oh."
Chen She was very happy, indeed, a good obedient girl.
With such a handy tool, my arrangement in Chaomeng should be able to continue to implement it smoothly.
After telling his design plan, Chen She asked: "It's almost like that. Do you have any other suggestions?"
Lin Luxi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Chen, our company also has super dream recording equipment. Should we add a little more experience-type super dream content to the original design plan?"
Chen She thought about it and felt that what Lin Luxi said made sense!
Yes, you can add a little.
Time travel super dreams and experience super dreams are actually completely compatible and can be mixed together.
For example, you can put the experience type super dream at the beginning as an introduction, just like the opening CG of many games.
Of course, some more superb producers will have more fancy gameplay, such as interspersing through time-travel super dreams and experience super dreams, which can achieve better results.
But Chen She doesn't need to play such fancy things at the moment. He wants to add experience-type super dream content to "Embers to Extinguish". There is only one purpose, which is to try to strengthen the dismissal effect of this super dream at the beginning.
Although he has been crazy about increasing the negative emotional experience of "Embers to Extinguish" to 25%, not necessarily every player will carefully check the relevant settings before entering the super dream.
If some people enter the super dream with a very optimistic and positive attitude and start challenging, it may greatly reduce the effect of this dissuasion.
But what if players can first experience a experiential super dream before entering the formal super dream process, and in advance, a feeling of depression and abandonment is implanted into their consciousness?
That can have the effect of "a defeated the enemy without fighting" and let players give up as quickly as possible.
Of course, there is also a prerequisite for doing this, that is, you must find a suitable super dream actor.
The actor must first express this frustrated emotion in his heart, and only then can he collect it by super dream recording equipment, and can only be passed on to players after editing by Lin Luxi.
It is not difficult to find a actor in Chaomeng, and you can find it by spending money. But the problem is that Chen She does not want the secrets of the rebels to be exposed, and he should try to avoid outsiders entering the headquarters of the Chen Consortium as much as possible.
Moreover, good Super Dream actors are too expensive, which is a lot of pressure on Super Dream's development budget. People in charge may not agree.
Chen She thought about it and found that this super dream actor had to go there himself.
After all, all the rebels were full of fighting spirit and did not meet the requirements of this emotion at all.
These people don’t have any acting talent, so it’s unlikely that they will force their performances to perform this more depressed and lost emotional state.
Looking at the whole company, Chen She himself is the most frustrated and depressed person.
After thinking about it, Chen She said, "I think about this part of the content at the beginning of Chaomeng. I will think about it carefully. You can organize everyone to develop the following content first."
"I'll tell you when I have figured out the general script."
Lin Luxi nodded: "Okay, Mr. Chen, then I will hold a meeting to assign work to everyone."
After temporarily arranging the development issue of the embers being extinguished, Chen She still has two things to consider.
One is how to create a super dream at the beginning of "Embers to Extinguish", and the other is how to design a super dream with low investment for guaranteed security.
He had no idea for the time being, so he decided to let Zhang Sirui take him out for a walk and take a look at the location of the experience store.
Maybe after relaxing, you will be able to gain some inspiration?
Chapter completed!
