Yang Qi talks about "Black Myth: Zhong Kui": It's time to change your mind after 10 years of Journey to the West
At today's Cologne Game Exhibition, the new series of Game Sciences "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" was officially announced. At the same time, Yang Qi, the art director of "Black Myth: Wukong", posted a long article on Weibo to talk about "Black Myth: Zhong Kui".
Yang Qi said that "Black Myth: Zhong Kui" was inspired by a dream he had, dreaming of Zhong Kui riding a tiger. After some discussion, I decided to shoot this story and finally created the pioneering trailer for "Black Myth: Zhong Kui". Although Zhong Kui is not a traditional image of riding a tiger, he found that there are indeed similar depictions in Ming Dynasty paintings and believed that this story is worth trying.
"Black Myth: Zhong Kui" is still under development and there is no real content display yet. The production team is currently focusing on the creation of new works, and the story of "Black Myth: Wukong" is not over. The team is waiting for the right time and more partners to join the project.
The original text is as follows:
One day in mid-April, I was in Beijing with Mr. Wei.
A ghost story was chatting during the meal, and I said half-jokingly, "Why, please help me shoot a CG?"
Master Wei showed joy and patted his legs and asked, "Then let's do a feature film this time?"
I thought about it and replied, "The budget is the same as the upper CG. We will do as long as you can..."
Master Wei was silent for a while, and asked, "Who is the person in the story?"
I explained, "I had a dream last month and dreamed of a The black-faced and blushing monster, holding a tiger, guarding the balcony. I felt that this was unusual, so I remembered it after I woke up and sent it to you when I returned to Hangzhou. "
Wei Shifu was silent for a moment and asked, "Why are you shooting this for a new project?"
I replied, "Let's take a picture first. After the film is finished, maybe there will be a folder..."
Master Wei wanted to speak but stopped, sighed, and said, "Drink a drink first, and make a long-term plan."
After half a year, this scene was finally completed. That's right, the person in the story is Zhong Kui, Zhong Kui riding a tiger. I remember that Zhong Kui was not riding a tiger, but after waking up from the dream, I realized that in Ming Dynasty paintings, the image of Zhong Kui riding a tiger was not uncommon. I think this matter is not simple...
Opportunity is very important in creation. A group of old guys have been working on Journey to the West for more than ten years, and maybe it’s time to change their minds. The stories of gods and demons are naturally satisfying, and the legend of monsters should be of unique interest. @yocar Feng Ji Teacher is already writing the Soul-Leaving Tune~[doge]
The Black Myth·Zhong Kui" has no real content worth displaying at the moment. When it is possible to meet people, it should have a brand new look. Of course, Wukong’s story is far from over, and we are also waiting for the right time to wait for more colleagues (recruitment for some important positions will also be updated, teachers can follow the gamesci.cn-related news).
After that, there have been many masterpieces recently, and I have been dazzled by the sight. It’s good to calm down for a while~
The summer in Hangzhou is getting longer and longer. The community I live in this year has sparse trees and it seems that I have never heard of any call. Only the cicadas that keep ringing in the ears, rising and falling one after another, full of vitality.
