Chapter 766: Chapter 441: Community of Shared Future for Mankind? (Please Subscribe)_2

Upon hearing Principal Ding’s words, everyone – Pei Gou, Liu Lang, Zhang Tianming, Wang Kaiwei and even An Yujia who had not spoken much – were particularly curious. Why would the Earth want to wander in the vastness of space?

Isn’t the Earth supposed to be firmly locked in the solar system, revolving around the sun?

If Earth wandered through the void of space, wouldn’t humans be doomed to extinction?

All of a sudden, a flurry of thoughts filled their minds.

Seeing their shared curiosity, Ding Yue laughed and said, "The reason it’s called ’Wandering Earth’ is because a friend of mine wrote a science fiction novel with that title. This novel is suitable as a basis for a sci-fi film, and upon reflection, I believe it is also an excellent foundation for a sci-fi game. Thus, I would like you to develop a game that can be coordinated with Director Su’s sci-fi film ’Wandering Earth’."

Seeing that Principal Ding had explained everything, Pei Gou immediately gave his assent, "Well, if that’s what you suggest, Principal Ding, we’ll follow your guidance!"

"No, no, no!"

Ding Yue suddenly shook his head.

It would not do for his subordinates to think that his word was ultimate and irrefutable. Such an impression would make him seem too arbitrary.

Even though Ding Yue could provide various resources acquired from the system, and good products from his previous life on Earth, he wasn’t a god who knew everything. As a principal, there were things he hadn’t considered.

His elite students – those he had groomed – had to play their part. They were not mere lackeys.

Pei Gou and the others immediately turned towards Principal Ding with a puzzled look.

"I personally consider ’Wandering Earth’ apt for adaptation into a sci-fi game, but you are the technical professionals, so you also need to evaluate its suitability seriously."

Ding Yue spoke to them earnestly.

"But, Principal Ding, we aren’t familiar with your friend’s sci-fi novel, ’Wandering Earth’, so we might..."

Pei Gou spoke hesitantly.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Ding Yue laughed out loud, then called his secretary Wen Ruohan over, saying, "Secretary Little Wen, bring the materials over."

Wen Ruohan immediately picked up a thick stack of printed materials and returned to Pei Gou and the others.

The stack contained a great deal of information related to the production of ’Wandering Earth’, such as vehicle designs, weapons, and scene sketches, sent over by Director Su Yangfan’s team.

These documents were divided into three parts. After receiving the documents from Director Su, Wen Ruohan had them printed in three separate copies.

"These are some settings, worldview, framework, and even perfected systems pertaining to ’Wandering Earth’, as well as some of the sci-fi technologies and equipment used, and the original novel ’Wandering Earth’ written by my friend!"

As Wen Ruohan handed out the materials to Pei Gou and others, Ding Yue briefly explained what they entailed.

Pei Gou and the others were quite intrigued. They began to read the materials that Secretary Little Wen handed them earnestly as soon as they received them.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Since the materials and novel contain a lot of content, you can read it slowly after you get back. I’ll first share with you the points about ’Wandering Earth’ that I think make it highly suitable as a game."

Ding Yue tapped on his desk, bringing the attention of Pei Gou and his team, who were immersed in the materials and the novel, back to him.

The young men immediately looked up, ready to continue listening attentively to Principal Ding.

"First of all, this is a sci-fi game with disaster elements. Science fiction sets the overall backdrop, as does dystopia. Still, disasters can be used to create compelling game narratives, right?"

Ding Yue began his enthusiastic discussion with the guys.

Hearing Principal Ding’s explanations and questions, Pei Gou quickly got into the zone. After a thoughtful pause, he nodded and said, "Mm, the disaster element can indeed be utilized in the game core as an attraction, only that for science fiction..."

While Pei Gou agreed with Principal Ding about how disaster is a compelling creative element for game-making, he found that science fiction might not be quite appropriate, given his understanding of domestic games.

"Is this not the limitation of your vision?"

At this point, An Yujia suddenly interjected.

Everyone’s gaze unanimously turned towards Miss An.

Even Ding Yue was looking at An Yujia, seemingly suggesting that she had understood what he wanted to say.

Upon receiving Principal Ding’s supportive gaze, An Yujia continued to address Pei Gou and others, "Pei Gou, this is why Principal Ding mentioned the idea of collaborating with Director Su’s science fiction movie ’Wandering Earth’.

Current domestic science fiction movies are not very mature and are far from reaching their peak, which also means there is a vast potential that can be tapped into.

The science fiction movie ’Wandering Earth’, created by Director Su and his team, carries the responsibility of uncovering the potential of the science fiction market. When the time comes, will you be afraid that players wouldn’t buy your video game ’Wandering Earth’ which shares the same name with their science fiction movie?"

An Yujia’s words indeed made Pei Gou, Liu Lang, Zhang Tianming, and others understand completely.

"So that’s how it is. Principal Ding, your thoughts are really advanced and impressive," Pei Gou couldn’t help but admire Principal Ding.

That’s because Miss An also mentioned that the idea of interconnecting the movie and the game was proposed by Principal Ding.

Looking at it this way, it seems there indeed is a possibility of it being feasible!

"Their collaboration could promote each other," Ding Yue said nonchalantly with a smile to Pei Gou.

"I understand, Principal Ding," Pei Gou quickly responded with a nod.

"So the disaster science fiction, when developed into a game, especially a high-quality game, has an enormous potential. The players would become ordinary characters in the game, striving to save Earth from destruction. The process can be designed and extended according to the movie’s script, the main focus, however, should be on the playability of the game, right?"

Ding Yue continued to explain earnestly.

"Indeed, the playability of the game is crucial. Many overseas AAA titles do indeed have beautiful visuals, but the gameplay may not be that commendable, which is also a reason why some of the AAA titles flop and do not sell well."

Pei Gou affirmed earnestly.

"In ’Wandering Earth’, there is a key element that I find interesting. I wonder if you could incorporate it into your game."

Ding Yue thought of a key content in ’Wandering Earth’.

"Oh? Principal Ding, what is it?"

Pei Gou was eager to know immediately.

Having heard so much from Principal Ding, Pei Gou suddenly became deeply intrigued by the science fiction world of ’Wandering Earth’ that Ding Yue was talking about.

"The community of shared future for mankind!"

Ding Yue calmly stated, "Whether it’s in the novel or in the science fiction movie created by Director Su, I believe the concept of the community of shared future for mankind will be a significant part."

"The community of shared future for mankind?"

Liu Lang who was sitting beside Pei Gou furrowed his brows, seemingly not understanding what the term suggested.

At this point, Pei Gou elbowed Liu Lang and said: "You don’t know what the community of shared future for mankind means?"

"I’ve never heard of it," Liu Lang shook his head.

Ding Yue immediately explained, "The community of shared future for mankind in ’Wandering Earth’ essentially means that all human beings globally are working towards the same goal; to preserve human civilization and the survival of Earth. That’s essentially what it means, as long as you understand."

Ding Yue had already made it very clear.

Given Pei Gou and Liu Lang’s comprehension skills, there should be no problem understanding it, right?

Even though Liu Lang and Zhang Tianming expressed that they understood the concept of "the community of shared future for mankind",

But!

What’s the relationship between this term and the making of a video game?

"This..."

Pei Gou muttered hesitatingly: "It seems more suitable for a concept in online gaming?"
