Despite all this though.

Ding Yue still wants to give it a try.

If successful, it would be a groundbreaking milestone in both film and game history!

"Principal Ding’s idea is indeed bold. Before this, very few companies dared to create a video game while producing a film. Usually, a game or film is made once the other becomes popular,"

An Yujia admitted with admiration.

"Actually, the world view of Wandering Earth is very suitable to be turned into a game, allowing players to immerse themselves in and participate in that grand era of a wandering Earth."

Ding Yue still believes that Wandering Earth is very suitable to be made into a game.

However, the quality of the game must be guaranteed.

With the existence of the Feiyue Game Engine, it can ensure the game’s quality.

Then comes playability.

After ensuring the graphics and other qualities of a game, playability becomes very important. What players need to do when entering the game, and what they can play becomes a core issue.

Regular AAA games let players undertake various quests according to the plot, unlocking various items and characters, adding a certain degree of playability along with diverse operations.

Ding Yue quickly calculated in his head. Wandering Earth tells the story of humans trying to save the earth from being destroyed by Jupiter’s gravity. Under this background, there are actually many playable elements that could be developed.

"Principal Ding, why don’t we call Pei Gou and the others over to discuss this?"

An Yujia immediately proposed.

"That works!" Ding Yue nodded.

At this point, the secretary Wen Ruohan swiftly called Pei Gou, informing him to bring the core members of the game studio to the principal’s office immediately.

When Pei Gou received the call from Wen Ruohan, he thought principal Ding had left something unsaid during their previous meeting, so he hastily gathered his team and headed to the Administration Building.

"Let me contact Director Su." Saying this, Ding Yue brought out his cell phone and made a call to Su Yangfan.

"What is Principal Ding contacting Director Su for?" Wen Ruohan mumbled in confusion.

At this, An Yujia laughed and said, "Silly girl. Since they’re planning to have Pei Gou and his team make a game about Wandering Earth, they have to first understand the world view, settings, and a series of information about Wandering Earth. Director Su is currently filming Wandering Earth, so naturally, he would be the best person to consult about the interpretation of Wandering Earth."

Hearing An Yujia’s explanation, Wen Ruohan instantly understood.

In fact, what An Yujia said was not entirely correct. The person who understood Wandering Earth the best was not Su Yangfan, but someone else.

Su Yangfan was currently leading his team in filming Wandering Earth. With some scenes completed, shooting had already begun. If all goes well, Wandering Earth would be completed within the year.

Then came post-production, which would take some time.

After all, most of the scenes in Wandering Earth involved special effects. Post-production would involve creating these special effects, reshooting, voice-overs, editing, among other things.

"Hello, Principal Ding,"

"Director Su, are you busy?" asked Ding Yue with a smile after getting through to Su Yangfan.

"Mmm, yes, indeed. We’re currently shooting. Everything is going smoothly, although, because I’m being rather strict, we end up reshooting the same scene several times until we achieve the effects I want."

Su Yangfan replied.

"Director Su, you’ve been working hard. Here’s the thing, could you compile all the screenplay, prop details and other related elements of the current production and send them over to me?"

Ding Yue instructed.

"Principal Ding, you need these materials... Do you want to understand the specifics of our filming process?" Su Yangfan curiously asked.

"Not really. I’m planning to have the game department make a game. And this game is based on the Wandering Earth that you’re currently shooting."

Ding Yue briefly explained the situation to Su Yangfan.

After all, he is the director of the movie "Wandering Earth." I want to make a game based on "Wandering Earth," so I definitely need to communicate with him.

This collaboration involves both the film and game industries, and Director Su is indeed an influential figure in the film sector.

"Oh, I see. Principal Ding, now that you mention it, I also think that "Wandering Earth" might indeed be suitable for game adaptation. However, dealing with science fiction and the grand scale of the movie could be challenging, even for us during our filming."

Director Su said, laughing.

"I see, but I think the game development team should be able to work it out."

"Alright, Principal Ding, I’ll have my assistant prepare and send the materials to you right away."

"Great, Director Su, you can continue with your work."

After hanging up the phone, Ding Yue opened his computer and found a copy of the novel "Wandering Earth."

Taking into account the content of the novel and all the written material from their filming of "Wandering Earth," this could provide a good foundation for Pei Gou and his team to develop the game based on "Wandering Earth."

About ten minutes later, Pei Gou, along with Liu Lang, Zhang Tianming, Xu Hong, and Wang Kaiwei; the core members of their team, arrived.

"Principal Ding, do you have any new instructions for us?"

Pei Gou asked as soon as he entered the office.

"First, let me introduce you. This is Ms. An Yujia, CEO of the Feiyue Group. She will be responsible for setting up your Feiyue Games studio."

Ding Yue briefly introduced An Yujia to Pei Gou and his team.

If Pei Gou was to be appointed as the head of the Feiyue Games Studio, then An Yujia would be his superior in the future.

"Nice to meet you, Miss An!"

Upon hearing this, Pei Gou and his team greeted An Yujia politely.

Everyone knew that the Feiyue Group was the company behind Mist City Arts and Science University, and the source of all its funding. Although Principal Ding controlled the Feiyue Group, all business operations were run by Miss An.

Pei Gou and his team had been hoping to join Principal Ding’s Feiyue Group. Principal Ding had previously agreed to establish a gaming studio under the Feiyue Group. The excitement hadn’t subsided even now.

This was their first meeting with a senior leader, right?

"Please, have a seat. Would you like some tea?" Ding Yue gestured them to sit down and discuss.

"No need, Principal Ding."

"The reason I called you here is to discuss the first game project of our game studio. Although the formal setup of the gaming studio will take some time, have you guys thought about the development and production of your game?"

Ding Yue asked directly.

First, he wanted to see if Pei Gou and his team had any ideas. If they already had a clear game development plan, Ding Yue could hear their ideas and thoughts first.

However, Pei Gou, Liu Lang, and the others all looked somewhat lost.

"Principal Ding, though we all want to create a game that makes history, we currently do not have any concrete ideas or plans. But we did discuss a possible direction, that is adaptation."

Pei Gou answered, a little dispiritedly.

"Actually, adaptation is feasible."

Ding Yue nodded.

Seeing Principal Ding support the path of adaptation, Pei Gou suddenly perked up, "Then, Principal Ding, should we choose an IP for adaptation as soon as possible? However, if we choose popular IP, the starting price for copyright fees will be in the millions."

Once the issue of finding an IP for adaptation came up, Pei Gou lost his spirit.

Because popular IP adaptation involves high copyright fees!

"Why do you have to adapt the currently popular IP?" Ding Yue smiled and said, "The currently popular novel IPs may not be the best choice. I have a zero-cost IP that you can develop."
