116: Decision-making difficulties

This was Qin Yushan's first time attempting to make a horror game.

Ye Bai, however, had already watched many horror movies and played several horror games in his previous life.

Therefore, he was able to provide him with a lot of advice.

Such as threshold spaces, unseen sounds, jump scares, creating something out of nothing, misdirection...

Finally, under Ye Bai's suggestion, Qin Yushan spent all this time creating such a slightly terrifying game.

Of course, that was for Ye Bai.

Perhaps because it was a holographic game, it felt quite scary when he played it.

Even though he knew it was a horror game, had prepared himself mentally, and had even participated in it himself, he was still startled several times.

He was very satisfied, but he didn't know if the players of this world would be satisfied with this game.

Qin Yushan went to find players to test it, while Ye Bai continued filming.

Soon after filming finished, Qin Yushan came to find him again.

"I found six players to experience it, three men and three women, here is their feedback."

Ye Bai took it and glanced at it.

[Bubble: Thanks for the invite, this is a game I never want to touch again in my life... The game is very good, the visuals are very realistic, making me feel like I'm really going to die, haha... I haven't dared to sleep for several days already.]

[Super Bold: Great game! I wasn't scared at all!! Really, I wasn't! I hope the game is released soon, I want to drag my friends to play it together! They will definitely be very happy!]

[ ... ]

"Not bad," Ye Bai said after reading, "Have you decided on the name of the game?"

Qin Yushan had originally planned to make a game where the player discovers their companions are still alive after coming out, and then couldn't distinguish between reality and the game.

But later, it was changed to a unit-based game.

He said, "Let's call it 'horror echo'."

Simple and clear.

Ye Bai nodded, "That works, when do you plan to release it?"

Qin Yushan: "As soon as possible!"

After the two finished communicating, Ye Bai looked at the finished and edited strange women of liaozhai.

Come to think of it, this was actually slightly different from the original version, as the different actors also shaped the characters slightly differently.

Ye Bai preferred perfection, so he refined the actors' positioning, scene arrangement, and character makeup and styling in this TV series even more.

It still looked very good at the moment.

After finishing filming this TV series, Yu Sanxing fell into a state of confusion.

Come to think of it, he hadn't trusted Ye Bai much at the beginning; no matter how awesome he was, it was his first time being a director.

But he didn't expect that Ye Bai was more professional than him when filming.

As for the plot, these unit stories were actually slightly repetitive.

Like the heroine turning into a ghost, then getting entangled in a series of events with the hero, the second female lead, and the villain.

But that couldn't stop the impact brought by this period drama and Ye Bai's professional filming techniques.

He always felt like a rookie in front of Ye Bai.

Sometimes when he watched Ye Bai scolding people on set, he would tremble a bit himself.

As for the music and lyrics in this show, they were all handled by Ye Bai himself, and in the end, Yu Sanxing found singers for Ye Bai to review and perform.

Now, looking at the finished TV series, for the first time, he felt that the money he received was a bit too much.

Originally, he thought it was fine for someone of his status to receive some money.

And he was in debt.

But after this whole filming process, the set was basically Ye Bai's word, and he was at most just someone assisting with the machines.

Not only him, but everyone else on set also admired Ye Bai.

Who couldn't tell that he was so professional?

Take those actors, for example; under Ye Bai's guidance, they entered the state very quickly.

As a director, Yu Sanxing knew very well that the effect of an actor being filmed by different directors could be vastly different.

How many actors had amazed everyone at first, only to become nobodies after changing directors?

To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that he still had external debts, he really wanted to continue working with Ye Bai and learn properly.

It was just a pity that he had to pay off his debts first.

He took this salary with a guilty conscience, thinking that if he had the opportunity later, he would definitely introduce some good resources to Ye Bai.

Of course, Ye Bai might not even need him.

Thinking this way, he felt even worse.

He was clearly the famous director who had debuted for many years; how did he seem worthless in front of Ye Bai?

Ye Bai didn't know what Yu Sanxing was thinking. He took the crew out for a wrap-up banquet and then submitted strange women of liaozhai to the Zhongzhou Film and Television Platform.

They just had to wait for the people from the Zhongzhou Film and Television Platform to approve it, and then see the follow-up, and it could be released.

After this exploration, Ye Bai basically figured out how to conduct holographic filming.

First of all, in addition to the lighting technicians and photographers that should be there, there also needed to be holographic set designers and holographic costume and makeup artists...

He submitted a list to Li Xingwen and asked him to find people according to his requirements.

Ye Bai wanted to build his own crew, so that the filming progress would be faster.

Subsequently, he took time off to privately receive three awards, and the person presenting the awards almost had their face stiff from smiling.

You have to know that most people thought Wandering God and Ye Bai were two different people, but the person presenting the awards knew very well that they were the same person.

What a genius; excelling in games, advertisements, and songs all at once!

This was only because he didn't participate in the animation category competition; otherwise, he would have had to add animation to the list.

But as expected, geniuses are too busy, otherwise why wouldn't he participate in the Public Welfare Competition for animation?

No one thought it was because Ye Bai couldn't make a public welfare animation.

He could already make romance of the three kingdoms and journey to the west; making a public welfare animation would be a piece of cake!

It could only be because he was too busy.

Ye Bai was busy, and went to the clothing factory to let Manager Chen keep an eye on it, while for the Dongfeng Printing Factory, he promoted someone else to run it.

After handing the requirements for the cosplay costumes to Manager Chen, he arranged another matter: "Acquire a wig manufacturing factory."

He had forgotten about this; how could cosplay exist without wigs?

"At the same time, hire a group of hairdressers and have them create the character hair styles from the game according to the requirements."

Manager Chen was already immune to his boss's sudden demands: "About how many hairdressers do you need?"

Ye Bai rubbed his chin: "Let's start with two hundred."

There were no wig stylists in this world; if he didn't arrange for hairdressers, wouldn't cosplay lack its soul?

Anyway, if you're going to do it, do it well!

Manager Chen took a deep breath: "Okay, I will go acquire and hire as soon as possible."

Ye Bai smiled slightly, turned around, and transferred twenty thousand to Manager Chen's salary card.

In a short while, Manager Chen opened a voice message filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Boss! Don't worry, Boss, I will definitely be diligent and responsible!"

Everything had been arranged.

Ye Bai's focus returned to the game, and in fact, his speed of releasing skins was too slow.

It was mainly because most of the skins were actually related to TV series or other works.

For example, Empress's Dongfang Bubai, Di Renjie's Brocade Guard, Bai Qi's White Death, Hou Yi and Wang Zhaojun's Elf King and Elf Princess, Zhang Liang's one thousand and one nights, Han Xin's Imperial Envoy, Cheng Yaojin's Kung Fu Chef, Mi Yue's Great Qin Empress Dowager, Luban's Puppet Oddity, In-game character's The Killer is Not Cold, Qin Shi Huang's Dark Night Noble, Daji's Alice in Wonderland, Mozi's Dragon Knight...

These were just a bunch of skins released in the early stages of the game.

Ye Bai looked at the skins and heroes he had summarized and fell into deep thought.

Which one should he film first?
