#384 - Movie shooting brain hole opened again, reward from Liu Mengyuan (2 in 1 order required)
Lu Yu's brow furrowed deeper, cold sweat trickling down as the fog in his mind thickened.
The continuous betrayals had made him increasingly distrustful of these little overachievers.
He opened his phone and directly searched for recent game news related to Peach Blossom Village.
Soon, an overwhelming wave of praise and heated discussions washed over him.
Lu Yu's eyes widened as he stared incredulously at the news headlines, each more exaggerated than the last!
"Peach Blossom Village's new 'Antique Appraisal Live Stream Simulator' allows tens of millions of players to step into the wonderful world of antique appraisal!"
"Online frenzy, antique blind boxes completely ignite a national trend!"
"This is likely the most disruptive IP in the field of cultural and recreational items ever!"
Lu Yu was dumbfounded, the information before him causing him to break out in a cold sweat.
Nearly 20 million software sales!
This sales performance had far exceeded his most optimistic expectations, and the company's casual game had broken sales records again.
Moreover, driven by this game, the domestic installed base of Peach Blossom Divine Travel VR consoles had reached 48 million units!
"How… how could this be?"
Lu Yu clutched his chest, staggering back several steps, almost spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He continued to browse the news, half-laughing and half-crying, every report praising 'Antique Appraisal Live Stream Simulator'.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Lu Yu answered, it was the director of the 'China Antique Appraisal' program.
"President Lu, we are truly honored that such a popular game promoting antique appraisal culture has emerged! Would you be willing to come on the show and talk about your experience developing the game?"
I've been backstabbed into a sieve, and you still want me to go on a show…
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled wryly: "Well, I won't be on the show. Our company really doesn't deserve such an honor. Maybe next time, definitely next time."
The director on the other end of the phone became even more excited:
"As expected of President Lu, many media outlets have been reporting on your game recently, but you remain so humble and reserved, it's truly admirable.
Compared to you, my understanding is still too shallow. I will definitely convey your attitude to our program's audience!"
"Not at all, not at all."
Lu Yu hung up the phone, his heart filled with mixed feelings.
Humble my ass, I didn't even know this game existed!
He never expected that Hua Wu, this seemingly low-key girl, had backstabbed him again!
Moreover, how could this niche and difficult antique appraisal game have such a huge response?
Without even opening the system interface, he knew that his points had been drastically deducted again.
He stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the bustling crowd outside the company, his heart filled with emotion:
Damn it, now I can only hope for a comeback at the Tokyo Game Show!
……
At this time, in the studio, the development team members of 'Peach Blossom Village Battle Cards' were gathered together, engaged in a heated discussion around a long table.
Recently, Liu Mengyuan was in high spirits, seemingly becoming an increasingly talented game designer.
Moreover, since receiving Lu Yu's love, her figure had become taller, her long black hair cascading over her shoulders, and her bright eyes sparkling with wisdom.
The marker in her hand sketched out complex card battle game mechanics on the whiteboard, which was already filled with various strategies and ideas.
"Everyone, look, we have implemented these functions related to live streaming scenarios very successfully in 'Antique Appraisal Live Stream Simulator,'"
Liu Mengyuan said confidently, "We can transplant these functions to the new card battle game to increase the game's depth and fun."
She paused, scanning the colleagues in the conference room.
"Moreover, we can transform the process of collecting antique blind boxes into the core mechanism of card collection and battle."
Liu Mengyuan continued to brainstorm, "In addition to opening blind boxes, players can also collect different cards by completing story missions and hidden challenges. Some story cards can even unleash special skills in battles!"
Meng Yue, the business manager sitting next to her, interjected:
"I think our game can also provide more live streaming battle functions, and even directly embed the live streaming interface of the Peach Blossom Light Year website!"
The development team members' eyes lit up!
Sharing matches with other players anytime, anywhere, that feeling would be awesome!
Chu Xiong, the technical director, pushed his glasses and said seriously: "There should be no problem with technical implementation, but… I think we can also take out something better from the Antique Appraisal Live Stream Simulator, that is… Artificial Intelligence NPCs!"
Chu Xiong explained that the objects of each player's antique appraisal live stream were randomly generated by AI, and this gameplay provided a more powerful NPC generation system for the Peach Blossom Kaiwu engine.
Players can get better freedom in the Peach Blossom Village Battle Card game than in 'Space-Time Moe Girl'!
Liu Mengyuan nodded excitedly:
"Everyone should implement these functions as soon as possible. If you need any resources, just ask."
The surrounding employees, especially Wan Xiaotong, were inspired by Liu Mengyuan's enthusiasm, their big eyes constantly shining!
Liu Mengyuan was quite satisfied with everyone's gazes.
Finally, after months of hard work, the development of the card battle game was coming to an end.
Tokyo Game Show, just wait and see, you are about to witness the birth of another phenomenal game!
……
In the following days, the filming of the 'Terminal Defense Line' movie continued.
Liu Mengyuan felt sweetly moved as she watched Lu Yu constantly cooperate with various filming tasks.
In order to support her filming ideas, Lu Yu had personally participated in the filming. What reason did she have to slack off?
So, facing Andrew and Spielberg, as well as a large group of crew members, she whimsically called everyone to the conference room and ambitiously presented a series of new ideas for the film on the PPT—
360-degree panoramic technology: In key zombie chase scenes, the film can use 360-degree rotating lenses to allow the audience to be immersed and feel the zombies approaching from all directions.
Slow-motion sub-shots: The film can use ultra-high frame rate cameras to capture the moment when zombies are hit, showing the slow-motion effect of bullets penetrating the zombies' bodies.
Holographic projection zombies: Use holographic projection technology in theaters to make zombies "appear" around the audience, increasing the atmosphere of terror.
Moving seats: Theater seats move in sync with the film, simulating vibrations, bumps, and other actions, giving the audience a more realistic experience.
Andrew listened and spoke first, his tone conveying the disdain of an outsider:
"Miss Liu, your ideas are indeed very creative, but have you considered the difficulty and cost of actual operation? 360-degree rotating lens? The audience will be dizzy. Dual-screen synchronization? We are here to make movies, not to hold technology exhibitions."
Spielberg also echoed: "Yes, President Liu, these ideas are cool, but from a technical and budgetary point of view, they are really unrealistic. Slow-motion sub-shots can be achieved, but if used in the entire segment, it will make the rhythm very slow and protracted."
Employees from Paramount also began to discuss in low voices, and many people expressed doubts and worries about these ideas.
Liu Mengyuan's face became increasingly dim. She lowered her head, her mood very depressed.
At this moment, Lu Yu stood up.
At this time, Lu Yu was worried that the film project would really succeed. As a result, Liu Mengyuan said so, and he suddenly became energetic!
As expected of my good wife!
He glanced around at everyone and said firmly:
"Everyone, please be quiet. I think Yuanyuan… oh no, President Liu's ideas are bold!
The reasons you said are all correct, but it is precisely because of their boldness that it is possible to trigger a film-watching revolution. Our Peach Blossom Village Films has always been known for innovation. Why can't we try it?"
Andrew sneered: "President Lu, you are joking about the company's future."
Lu Yu did not back down: "No, Director Andrew, I am betting on the company's future. If we don't try and don't break through, we will only stand still forever! Besides, our Peach Blossom Village's financial and technical strength is fully capable of supporting these attempts."
Spielberg frowned and said: "But even so, what if we fail after investing so many resources and energy?"
Lu Yu smiled slightly, his eyes flashing slyly:
"So what? As we all know, innovation is always accompanied by risks, and we must bravely try it. Moreover, if this is successful, we will create a new era of film viewing."
Liu Mengyuan raised her head, her eyes flashing with grateful tears: "…Thank you."
Lu Yu patted her on the shoulder and said gently: "Yuanyuan. Your idea is very good, be sure to continue to increase your efforts!"
Lu Yu laughed secretly in his heart: In fact, his purpose in doing this was just to deliberately make this film project flop, so that the company's employees would give up internal competition.
He knew that excessive internal competition would only cause the company to fall into endless consumption and infighting, and this seemingly crazy attempt could just extinguish everyone's motivation for internal competition!
……
After the filming, the studio gradually quieted down, and the staff left one after another, leaving only Liu Mengyuan and Lu Yu on the scene to clean up the aftermath.
Liu Mengyuan sighed softly, looked at Lu Yu, her eyes filled with gratitude.
The latest novel is first published at Six/Nine/Books/Bar!
"How should I say it, I still have to thank you…" Liu Mengyuan's voice was soft, "These days, you have been supporting my crazy ideas and have endured so much pressure…"
Lu Yu smiled and shook his head, reaching out and gently rubbing her hair:
"I'm the boss of the company, if I don't have the final say, who else can? Besides, you are my girlfriend, who else can I spoil if I don't spoil you?"
A blush appeared on Liu Mengyuan's face, her eyes gradually became ambiguous, and her eyes seemed to be drawing silk.
She took a step forward, her eyes becoming more and more blurred,
Lu Yu was stunned for a moment, and a thought flashed in his mind—was his male succubus halo taking effect again?
At this moment, Liu Mengyuan grabbed Lu Yu's hand without saying a word and dragged him towards the train carriage in the studio.
"Yuanyuan?"
Lu Yu asked tentatively, but Liu Mengyuan did not answer, pulling him into the carriage and closing the door with a "snap".
The light in the carriage was dim, and the surroundings were quiet, as if isolated from the outside world.
Lu Yu's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up, and he tentatively opened his mouth: "His, it's a bit…"
Liu Mengyuan didn't wait for him to finish, and gently put her finger on his lips.
She smiled, her eyes flashing slyly: "Shh… don't talk, you've been holding back for a long time these days, right? Now, I'll help you."
After speaking, her hand slowly slid towards Lu Yu's chest, gently and firmly.
Lu Yu suddenly felt a current spread throughout his body from her fingertips, and all his rationality was washed away by this current.
Liu Mengyuan's movements were gentle and skillful, her breathing became rapid, and the blush on her cheeks deepened.
"Yuanyuan…" Lu Yu's voice was a little hoarse, and his hand involuntarily wrapped around Liu Mengyuan's waist, shortening the distance between the two. The atmosphere in the carriage gradually became ambiguous, and a certain invisible heat rose in the air.
Liu Mengyuan gently raised her head and stared into Lu Yu's eyes,
"Do you know? You looked really handsome when you stood up and spoke today, I… really like you like that."
Lu Yu lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "It's okay, your plan to shoot a movie is also quite genius, you can do it boldly."
Liu Mengyuan's heartbeat accelerated, and her hand gently stroked Lu Yu's cheek, feeling the hot temperature. The distance between the two became closer and closer, their breaths intertwined, as if the whole world was only each other.
Suddenly, the lights in the carriage flickered for a moment and then returned to normal. The two were stunned at the same time, but were soon attracted by each other's breath and forgot everything around them.
Lu Yu's hand slowly slid towards Liu Mengyuan's back, feeling her soft skin and warm body temperature. Liu Mengyuan closed her eyes, enjoying this moment of intimacy and gentleness. The air in the carriage became hotter and hotter, as if it would burn at any time.
Just then, there was a slight noise outside the carriage, and the laughter of girls came.
The two suddenly came back to their senses, separated quickly, and were a little flustered and embarrassed.
It seems that there are still a few staff members left in the studio who have not left work.
"Should we go back?" Lu Yu asked in a low voice.
"No… as long as we don't make a sound, we won't be discovered outside, and don't you think it's more exciting this way?"
Liu Mengyuan chuckled.
"This… what are we going to do this time?"
Lu Yu looked at the dim carriage around him and swallowed.
"I want to taste it."
……
After that, Lu Yu had another dream about Greek mythology in a daze, half-asleep and half-awake.
Last time we talked about how the gods of Mount Olympus, after a fierce battle, finally killed the demons from hell and closed the gates of hell.
And on this day, Aphrodite was traveling in the fairy forest and met the Mushroom Brave again.
Encountering this naughty god for the sixth time, the Brave was prepared this time. He saw the giant god from afar through the reconnaissance vision. The amount of vomiting last time was too much, and the Mushroom Brave will never be easily caught again this time.
Determined, he turned around and ran behind him.
However, there was a sound of strong wind behind him.
Immediately afterwards, he felt the ground shaking around him, his eyes went dark, and he fell directly to the ground.
After he woke up, he found himself lying in a huge, round ceramic plate.
Aphrodite, wearing a napkin, was squatting beside him.
The hero was startled: "What... what are you going to do?"
Aphrodite licked her lips: "After playing with you for so long, I don't want to beat around the bush anymore. How about I just eat you today?"
The hero shook his head like a rattle-drum: "No, no, I'm not tasty at all, my meat is very tough."
"That's exactly the texture I like."
