Missing some soul

Wei Yan reached out and rubbed his forehead, seriously considering what was wrong and what was missing.

Xu Yuan sat across from the desk, and seeing General Manager Wei's expression, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

After waiting for a long time, she finally couldn't help but ask.

"General Manager Wei, is there something wrong with that?"

Wei Yan snapped back to reality at the sound, looked up at Xu Yuan, and shook his head.

"These character designs are very good, there's nothing wrong with them, but I always feel like something is missing, like something is lacking….."

"It's like something is missing……."

Wei Yan tilted his head and rubbed his temple, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out.

"Something is missing… a soul… that's right, a soul is missing."

"A soul? But how do you add a soul?"

Xu Yuan was a little confused by the words; how exactly do you make a game character have a soul?

Wei Yan stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"To say 'soul' is a bit too vague. It's just that the current game characters are simply characters; the figures are very pale, and they don't have their own stories."

"I think if we design a background story for all the game characters, and then let all the characters have some ties or factional conflicts behind them, wouldn't that make the game more rich and colorful?"

"For example, this Demon Warrior you designed, why is he called a Demon Warrior? Perhaps he was once a very upright Warrior, and then due to some unforeseen circumstances, he was forced to become a demon?"

"And this Daughter of Light, she's clearly on the side of justice. So, what kind of opposing situation does the faction this Daughter of Light belongs to have with the demon faction? And what connection does this Daughter of Light have with this Demon Warrior?"

"We can establish a vast world view, and then every game character, within this world view, will have their own positioning and their own faction."

"This way, it's no longer a simple game, but a world, the story of a world."

After Wei Yan finished speaking, he quietly looked at Xu Yuan, waiting for her opinion.

Xu Yuan didn't come back to her senses for a long time, still immersed in the words Wei Yan had just spoken; her entire being seemed to have a new understanding of games.

A soul!

This is the soul of the game.

So games can be designed like this? It was as if a new door had opened before Xu Yuan.

After a while,

Xu Yuan slowly came back to her senses and looked at Wei Yan, speaking excitedly.

"General Manager Wei, I understand! I'll go design the background stories for these characters and the framework of the world view right away."

"Hmm, I think you should still focus on the game. The design of the world view and the background story for each character can be handled by a professional. As for who, you can ask Luo Xiao of Lanpian Film and Television; he might know some screenwriters in this area."

Wei Yan looked at the excited Xu Yuan and knew that his idea was not a problem.

However,

It would be too much of a loss to have Xu Yuan concentrate on creating a game's background story; shouldn't professional matters be handled by professionals?

"I understand, General Manager Wei."

Xu Yuan nodded, then got up and left the office.

After leaving the office,

She thought for a moment, then headed straight for the elevator, intending to go directly to Lanpian Film and Television to consult with General Manager Luo.

……….

Lanpian Film and Television,

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin still looked troubled at the script in front of them. Although they had confirmed with Wei Yan that General Manager Chen wanted him to revise the mid-story plot of the script, there was still a fundamental problem that couldn't be solved.

That was, they were completely at a loss when it came to this sci-fi script.

"Xiao Ge, what should we do? General Manager Chen has already ordered us to prepare the movie as soon as possible, but we haven't even finalized the script yet. How can we proceed to the next step?"

Wang Bin said anxiously, looking at the script in front of him.

Luo Xiao also frowned tightly, unable to think of a way to change it for a moment.

Knock knock knock!!!

The office door suddenly knocked.

"Come in!"

Luo Xiao said casually, thinking it was an employee coming in to report on work.

"Hello, General Manager Luo, hello, General Manager Wang!"

After Xu Yuan entered the office, she quickly greeted them.

She naturally knew these two managers, who often ate with General Manager Wei.

She had even eaten at the same table with them before due to work matters.

"It's you!"

Luo Xiao looked at the person who came and quickly recognized her.

"You're the supervisor of General Manager Wei's project team?"

"General Manager Luo has a really good memory. My name is Xu Yuan, and I am indeed the supervisor of General Manager Wei's project. I came today to ask General Manager Luo for a favor, not a personal matter, but a work matter."

Xu Yuan looked surprised, not expecting General Manager Luo to remember her.

"What favor? Just say it. If I can help, I definitely will."

Luo Xiao said seriously. General Manager Wei had helped him countless times, so if there was anything he could do in return, he was naturally willing.

"General Manager Luo, it's like this: I want to create a game's world view and background stories for game characters, so I need a professional screenwriter to handle these things. I wonder if General Manager Luo has any suitable candidates."

Xu Yuan quickly stated her needs.

A screenwriter?

Luo Xiao was thoughtful. Through Xu Yuan's words, he suddenly thought of himself. His script had not been revised, so why bother racking his brains? Wouldn't it be better to find a professional screenwriter?

Why was he so insistent on revising it himself?

It must be because his revision of “demon subduing record” was very successful, so he felt he could also revise this sci-fi script.

Thinking of this,

Luo Xiao suddenly saw the light and looked up at Xu Yuan.

"I'll handle the screenwriter matter. When I have news, I'll inform you."

He had already filmed three movies. Although he didn't know any screenwriters personally, he still had channels to find them.

"Then thank you very much, General Manager Luo. I still have work to do, so I won't stay long."

Xu Yuan quickly thanked him, a look of pleasant surprise on her face.

"Hmm, you go about your business."

Luo Xiao nodded. After Xu Yuan left, he also opened his phone, found a phone number, and dialed it.

……………….

In a screening room,

“demon subduing record” had already ended, and the people watching the movie slowly began to get up and walk out.

"Director Yu, most people have left. We should go too."

Li Tianyang said slowly, looking at Yu Zheng, who was still unwilling to move beside him.

However,

The other party still showed no movement, currently still staring intently at the credits being played, his body still trembling slightly.

Seeing this, Li Tianyang couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He reached out and pushed the other party's shoulder.

"Director Yu, are you alright?"

Feeling his shoulder being pushed, Yu Zheng slowly came back to his senses, turned his head, and looked at Li Tianyang excitedly.

"Found it, found it."
