Chapter 150: Chapter 147 People with good lung capacity speak fast
Looking at Ori's departing back, Shion asked curiously, "Who showed up today, a sister or a brother?"
"It's Shiki."
Nanaya answered with gritted teeth, and then he seemed to feel that his answer was ambiguous, so he quickly added, "It's my younger brother."
"Why do I feel like he seems to have a problem with me, or did you two brothers have a quarrel?"
Shion blinked her eyes. She felt that Ori seemed a little more distant from her today than before.
"Both." Nanaya said with a bitter face, "After I gave him the rabbit ears last time, he has been unkind to me. I guess he seems to have mistakenly thought that you instigated me."
"It's not that I'm wrong. After all, I was in the store at the time. Those bunny ears are really cute. I wish he was wearing them today."
A longing look appeared on Shion's face, as if she was imagining what it would look like when she put it on.
"This is my little junior brother. He is very cute no matter what."
Nanaya felt that what Shion said was nonsense. Did her junior apprentice brother need her recognition? However...
"The rabbit ears... I really want to see them, but what a pity... How about we find a chance to let Shiki wear them during filming next time? It's the same face anyway..."
Just as Nanaya was fantasizing about adding rabbit ears to that face, Shion brought him back to reality.
Shion pulled Nanaya towards the banquet hall and said, "Alright, what are you thinking about? Come in quickly, you are the star of the banquet today."
"Aren't you the protagonist?"
"I'm the organizer, and you're the protagonist. These are two different concepts." Shion said to Nanaya, "Don't be like that. Most of these people are acquaintances and won't do anything to you."
[That means a small part of it is not? ]
Nanaya raised his eyebrows, he didn't know what to say.
Today's dinner was no different from many of the banquets Qi Ye had attended, with buffet-style food, guests chatting in groups of three or four, and a dance floor in the center.
Waiters carrying various cocktails went between the guests, serving them drinks.
Nanaya looked at the plates of delicious food with envy. He saw Otto, Ikeda Subaru's son, and Katsura's daughter eating happily there.
As for the other people in the studio, they seemed to be dancing on the dance floor, at least Tamari Tsukasa and Shonan Rantaro were like that.
Because the two animals were tap dancing in a way that was totally out of tune with the music, everyone else was avoiding them.
Nanaya really wanted to enjoy the banquet like them, but the female boss didn't give him the chance at all.
"I don't think I need to introduce this person, right?" Shion pulled Nanaya to a man and said, "Brother, I have brought him here."
"Hey, Director Kiryu, I haven't seen you for half a year. Are you okay?"
Brother Cong held Nanaya's hand with a smile on his face, and he showed great enthusiasm for the director.
The popularity of "Goblin Slayer" has brought signs of revival to JGC, which means that the performance of Washimine's game department will not be too bad before the launch of the new console.
Based on this point alone, everyone in Washimine's gaming department was full of favorable impression towards Nanaya.
"There, Satoru, you are quite energetic too."
Nanaya also greeted the idol.
"Due to the success of Goblin Slayer, the number of pre-orders for the new Saint and the Brave has increased significantly. I have everything to thank you for that."
Satoru said happily.
"No, Brother Sato, you are truly amazing. You have created world-class games."
"You two, can you please stop flattering each other like that?" Shion teased, tapping the two with her folding fan. "I'm getting goosebumps. Brother, don't you have something to ask Nanaya?"
"Oh, right." Iwata asked Nanaya as if he had just remembered something, "Washimine is planning to make a game that continues the worldview of "Goblin Slayer", and he wants to ask for your opinion. After all, as the director of "Goblin Slayer", you have the most say in this game."
"Is it a small-scale game or a big production?"
Nanaya also became interested.
"It's hard to say..." Iwata was a little embarrassed. "Small-scale games can be produced quickly, but they may not meet the needs of fans. Large-scale productions take time to polish, but it will take much longer."
If this happens, "Goblin Slayer" will lose its popularity. After all, this game was created to take advantage of the popularity of the movie.
As a senior executive of Washimine, Iwata was of course very aware that Nanaya had no intention of making a sequel to "Goblin Slayer".
In this case, the popularity of the "Goblin Slayer" movie is very important.
"So what's the rating for the game? All ages or R?"
Nanaya originally thought that Satoru would say all ages, but he didn't expect that the other party's answer was beyond Nanaya's expectations.
"R-rated." Iwata saw Nanaya's confused look and said with a smile, "Don't look at me like that. The success of the movie Goblin Slayer proves the market for R-rated movies. In order to preserve the original flavor of the movie, we must of course adopt the same rating."
"Okay, let me think about it..."
Nanaya nodded his chin, thinking quickly.
R-rated, it needs to be produced quickly, and still retain the essence of the original work...
"No need to do that, you can wait two days..."
However, before Iwata could finish his words, Nanaya gave him the answer.
Nanaya smiled and said, "I have an idea. Have you heard of the game Dynasty Warriors?"
The production of a musou game is not particularly complicated, the game mechanics are simple, and several maps can be reused.
Enemies in particular only require making a few models and then copying and pasting them.
Moreover, as long as the killing process is designed with more plasma explosions, and two tasks such as rescuing the female adventurer who was raped by goblins are added, the game rating can easily reach R.
As long as the plot is exciting, it will bring a great sense of freshness to players when they first go through the game.
The game size is not too large. Even if time is tight and the optimization is a little poor, it will not take up several GB and can be completely stuffed into the JGC CD.
Of course, as is a common problem with musou games, after the initial novelty and excitement, you'll quickly become bored.
But there shouldn't be much of a problem selling it as a 3A game. After all, the gameplay of Musou games has never been the focus; the IP of the Musou characters is the focus.
You know, in his previous life, Nanaya bought a Dynasty Warriors game that was packaged as 3A but actually sold IP, and he also spent money to buy skins.
Anyway, Nintendo had launched the "Zelda Warriors" game in its previous life, so this time it was released ahead of schedule.
In fact, Nanaya would rather make an Assassin's Warriors game, but that one is too complicated. Even if Washimine can make it, it will take a long time, which is not suitable for riding on the popularity.
"You really are a very creative person, Director Kiryu. Why don't you just follow me and make games?"
Iwata quickly wrote down Nanaya's suggestions, and he found that the other party was really a person with great vision.
"I still prefer making movies."
Nanaya rejected Satoru's proposal. He knew very well that if he really started to make games, he would definitely be labeled as a bad planner.
So for the sake of your own reputation, it is better not to directly participate in the production of the game.
"Regarding the plot, we can use the plot of the movie "Goblin Slayer" as the initial chapter, and the things that happened afterwards as the subsequent chapters of the game. This will attract more fans of the movie to play this game. At that time, I will provide the plot outline and let Washimine's scriptwriter expand it."
[This can be considered a disguised way of filling the hole...]
Nanaya nodded with satisfaction. He felt that he was really smart. This way, no one would say that he had dug a hole in "Goblin Slayer" and just ignored it.
"Uh-huh..."
Iwata closed the notebook and said, "I need to sort it out a bit, and then gather the game department for a meeting tomorrow to discuss the feasibility... Sorry, I have to leave you today."
After saying this, Iwata left Shion and Nanaya behind and hurriedly left the banquet hall.
"Is he always like this?"
Nanaya asked curiously.
Shion was also helpless: "Yes, brother is a workaholic."
"Forget it, let's go meet someone else."
Shion finally decided to put her brother aside and ignore him, then she pulled Nanaya in front of the three beauties.
Or rather, two big beauties and one little one.
"Luvia, Rin, hello. And, Yumi-chan, long time no see." Nanaya saluted the three of them like a gentleman.
"Hello, Senior."*2
Rin and Luvia greeted Nanaya very naturally.
"Big brother, long time no see."
Perhaps because she has been an idol for some time, Yumi looks a lot more confident. At least she doesn't keep her head down when greeting Nanaya.
But she is still a little shy and her little face is red.
Well, Yumi-chan is so cute like this, completely different from Illya.
Nanaya had bad intentions and he kept rubbing Yumi's head with his hands and refused to let go.
"Big Brother…"
The little girl's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, and she looked at Nanaya somewhat at a loss.
"Hey, Senior. Even you should stop now."
Rin couldn't bear it anymore, so she pulled Yumi behind her and protected her like a hen.
"Hmm…"
Yumi stammered twice. She was relieved that Sister Rin rescued her, but at the same time she felt a little regretful.
[Hmm, what am I thinking about… I'm so shy~]
"Oh, Rin is angry. Have fun today. Shion and I are leaving first."
Nanaya laughed, and he and Shion greeted the other people.
"Ah, they left." Lin sighed, "So what are we doing, just standing there like idiots?"
"As idols, we have to be strict with ourselves," Luvia warned, "Don't do anything that would bring shame to our group."
Rin made a rude gesture to Luvia: "How is that possible? But this is indeed boring. Speaking of which, Gawain invited you for a drink just now, why didn't you go? As the male and female protagonists of the movie, it shouldn't be a problem to just have a drink, right?"
Luvia looked at Gawain in the distance and shook her head: "Forget about what they say. No matter how honest he is, he is still a male idol of J family. If I really want to try, I might as well find a senior. He is not bad looking."
"…"
"…"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, could you please stop looking at me like that and forget what I just said. Thank you!"
After a brief silence, Luvia spoke hurriedly.
[You were able to finish speaking without pausing. Your lung capacity is amazing...]
Rin felt that this woman was worthy of her career as a stage play actress, her lung capacity was truly amazing.
"Come to think of it, you haven't told the senior about that yet?"
"Not yet." Luvia sighed, "But I think the boss (Shion) should tell her, after all, that woman is here today, right?"
"I think so…"
Looking at Shion who was constantly greeting people with Nanaya, Rin whispered.
[I really envy you for being able to say it out loud. At least you are more frank than me, Golden Drill.]
