Paper is made of wedding clothes. When switching from games to movies,
will be burned if it cannot pass the brazier
What is the biggest brazier in games?
It's not the number of players, it's the number of viewers.
Almost no game can be praised after being adapted from a game.
Even if the "Resident Evil" series of movies are so good at the box office...
This time, domestic games want to change their fate.
According to the latest national film script registration notice released by the National Film Administration, "Paper Wedding Dress: Mandarin Duck Debt" is impressively listed.
This is the third part of the "Paper Wedding Dress" series, and it is also recognized as the one with the most logical and perfect plot.
And this is not the first time that the "Paper Wedding Dress" series has been approved.
As early as June this year, "Paper Wedding Dress 2: Zangling Village" has been successfully registered. As the most popular domestic horror suspense plot puzzle series mobile game, the "Paper Wedding Dress" IP has been targeted by the film and television industry.
What is "Paper Wedding Dress"? Many people may not know
, but it can be said to be the most popular horror game in China.
Although, there are countless IPs in the game market that are more popular and larger than the "Paper Wedding Dress" series.
But if you look at horror games, "Paper Wedding Dress" is the big brother.
Therefore, due to domestic game adaptations, only "Legend of Sword and Fairy" has an online reputation.
Therefore, "Paper Wedding Dress" is regarded as the "Fairy Sword" adapted from horror games into movies.
The first part of "Paper Wedding Dress" was born in 2021.
As of July this year, the "Paper Wedding Dress" series has been updated to the fifth volume, with TapTap scores above 9.
Currently, the sixth part has also opened for reservations.
In July this year, the fifth work in the "Paper Wedding Dress" series, "Infinite Dreams", topped the iOS free game list on the first day and the next day.
Gamma data from a third-party research organization shows that "Infinite Dreams" ranked among the top 10 iOS channel downloads in July.
"Paper Wedding Dress" will be adapted into a movie, will it be possible?
Regarding this, "China Business News" reporter Xu Xinyi had some exchanges with Shule. I thought:
Paper is used to make wedding clothes. When switching from games to movies, it will be burned if it cannot pass the brazier.
Game adaptations into movies often change from a network narrative to a linear narrative, and most of the content will undergo major changes.
Because the interactive method of games is different from that of movies and TV shows, once content such as interactive decryption is made into movies, it will become a suspense plot and lack immersion.
Moreover, game adaptations into movies and TV shows are rarely successful. The only one in China where
has truly broken the circle is "Legend of Sword and Fairy", which has a strong sense of emotion and has become a fairy tale in itself.
Overseas, the adaptation of "Resident Evil" can be said to be another story.
There is still no real success in the movie-game linkage, which is very different from the adaptation of online novels or novels.
game adaptation into film and television is like going through a brazier when getting married. The paper cannot contain the fire, and the result is obvious.
