Mingyan was speechless and had no choice but to take the names provided by the marketing department with him home and discuss them with Xia Cheng.
"Which name do you think is more suitable?" Mingyan asked.
Xia Cheng stared at the game name above, lost in a long period of bewilderment.
—"Palace Chronicles"? "The Little Princess's Wardrobe"? "Rainbow Feather Robe"? "Flowing Sleeves of a Fairy"? "Shining Makeup Mirror"? What kind of names are these?
Why would girls be interested in these things? Don't they already have dressing mirrors and wardrobes in their own bedrooms? Why would they pay for yet another virtual wardrobe?
Both men simultaneously fell into a state of deep thought.
Then, Mingyan finally started seeking help from outside the arena.
He called his secretary and asked a few questions.
For some reason, all the designers on Blue Star gathered around the communication device, turning the phone call into an informal planning meeting.
Then, not long after, at the suggestion of a plot planner, it turned into a vote by all the female employees of Blue Star.
—They chose "Rainbow Feather Dress"!
Mingyan finally breathed a sigh of relief and sent the results back to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio.
Then the deputy chief engineer gave him a look that said, "The boss was sure he had everything figured out all along, but he's still pretending to be a big shot." He then asked eagerly, "Boss, we've asked a few outsourced proposals for our main storyline, but we're not very satisfied with any of them. Could you take a look?"
Clearly stated: "..."
The next day, Mingyan brought home several script outlines to discuss with Xia Cheng.
Xia Cheng looked hesitant and said, "Do you really think discussing this with me will be useful?"
He bluntly stated, "One plus one should at least equal two, right..."
Xia Cheng said, "A perfect score is one hundred, right?"
Mingyan nodded silently.
The two of them sighed in unison.
Then the two of them flipped through the general outline again and fell into a state of bewilderment once more.
—Is the theme of ancient palace intrigue gods and demons? Aren't girls supposed to have zero tolerance for infidelity? Why would they be willing to compete with others for a virtual emperor?
—The theme of simulating female celebrities seems pretty good, but don't female celebrities have endorsements or receive clothes from manufacturers? Can't they rent designer brands or buy custom-made clothes?
—And this…another world where the outcome of a battle is determined by how well the clothes are styled?!
Mingyan exclaimed in surprise: "The screenwriting industry is truly full of talented people; they can even come up with such amazing ideas."
"I remember there was a wildly popular movie that also had this kind of premise, and it starred Angelina Jolie." Xia Cheng was also bewildered and opened the last outline to read it.
Unfortunately, while the last idea was brilliant, the story's direction was unsatisfactory, and the screenwriter failed to handle the subject matter well.
Xia Cheng thought for a moment, then summoned the smart assistant and searched for that movie from back then.
Coincidentally, the movie was produced by Golden Ring Pictures—the same company that collaborated with Blue Star Studio on the feature film "Blue Star Apocalypse"!
Their boss met Mingyan at the annual awards ceremony of the Jia League back then, and has always been a fan of Mingyan's games.
Xia Cheng said, "Since they've collaborated before, why not ask them if there are any business collaboration opportunities? Jin Huan has many professional screenwriting teams that are skilled in all kinds of genres. Getting them to write a script for a game targeted at women shouldn't be a problem."
Mingyan quickly contacted the former person in charge of Lanxing and then led him to the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio to discuss cooperation with Golden Ring Pictures.
Of course, this is another collaboration across provinces, and we need to spend a few days establishing contact first.
As for these two responsible persons—
At first, I was a little confused and said, "Oh, boss, so we're going to cooperate with the Dragon Slayer Sword again?"
Then, they realized that both sides were calling Mingyan "Boss".
"??????"
"！！！！！！！"
Mingyan touched his nose and said helplessly, "Yes, I am the person in charge of both sides."
And they were met with two bewildered stares at each other.
Next, when the person in charge of Golden Ring Pictures received the email in Mingyan's personal name, they were also full of questions.
The reply began with: "[Dear Chief Engineer Ming, congratulations on acquiring the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio...]"
He was naturally very willing to cooperate with Mingyan afterwards.
First of all, I would like to clarify that I am a very high-quality business partner. I never delay or lose money when discussing matters, and I value fairness and impartiality.
Blue Star Studio is already a renowned boutique studio in the Chaoyang Alliance, just by its name alone.
If back when the collaboration took place, it was the industry leader, Golden Ring Pictures, that acquired the IP of Blue Star Apocalypse, then now it is Chief Writer Ming, who is also an industry leader, who has decided to acquire the script from Golden Ring Pictures.
It's all about this identity issue...
Mingyan was quite helpless, and in the last sentence of his reply, he could only explain in a joking tone: "Thank you very much for your congratulations, but the Dragon Slayer Sword Studio has always belonged to me..."
The identity that was once known only to one or two people now seems to be being exposed to more and more people.
Although Mingyan always reminds the other party not to reveal this matter in public, but—
