All-rounder Artist

If Lin Yuan truly wanted to create a game, he would have to produce a detailed design plan, complete with flowcharts and CG mock-ups, followed by a thorough analysis and design phase. However, Lin Yuan obviously didn’t want to go through such trouble.

He had ideas.

But they weren’t professional.

Lin Yuan simply followed the game content and design provided by the System, rambling his ideas on-the-go, luckily Pei Qian was able to grasp his seemingly random ideas.

Two hours later.

Sun Yao Huo and the others left.

As Lin Yuan picked up a washed cherry and took a bite, the System’s voice suddenly echoed in his ear again, "Congratulations Host on initiating the game category. From now on, games will also be one of your sources of prestige!" @@novelbin@@

Lin Yuan was taken aback.

Game category?

When he discussed ideas for "Plants vs. Zombies" with Pei Qian, he simply wanted to play a game he was familiar with in his previous life on Blue Star. He never thought that the game would be a source of prestige, but now the System was telling him that games were a separate category?

Music, Films.

Painting, Literature.

Lin Yuan always thought there were only these four categories, it was no wonder he was able to customize games with the System. Did this mean that he could not only bring out "Plants vs. Zombies," but also work on other games?

That seemed right.

Games were indeed a significant branch of entertainment as they encompassed a wide range of elements, including music, painting, animation and even scripts, especially for large-scale games.

Not to mention large-scale games.

Even with a simple game like "Plants vs. Zombies," the background music of the game is instrumental. If Lin Yuan wanted to recreate this game, he would undoubtedly choose the original background music which was one of his expertise.

This was a major category!

It was all-encompassing!

The word "games" seemed to compile all the contents of the other categories: "It seems that I have to add another task to my workload. Without Senior Yao Huo, I wouldn’t even know the System had a hidden game category."

Previously, it was for fun.

Now, it was different.

Lin Yuan temporarily set aside his playful mindset. Considering that Senior Yao Huo had contributed to the development of the System’s game category, Lin Yuan planned to partner with him in the future to create games, transferring some of the classic Earth games over.

"I need to start studying."

Since Lin Yuan had decided to dabble in games casually, he couldn’t be ignorant about the gaming industry. He simply asked Gu Dong to buy him some game-related books for him to read.

His reading efficiency was very high.

With the System providing Memory Pills, he could remember anything he had read. His rapid progress from knowing nothing about the film industry to becoming a semi-expert was achieved by taking Memory Pills and reading extensively.

This time was no exception.

Gu Dong bought back over ten books related to games. Lin Yuan sat in his office, leisurely absorbing and improving, gradually gaining a certain understanding of the game industry.

"There’s so much to learn in the game industry."

Looking at these books, Lin Yuan sighed deeply. The thing he saw from a player’s perspective was too simplistic. Looking at it from a game creator’s perspective, there were many twists and turns.

…

A game couldn’t be completed overnight. While Pei Qian had already started working, Lin Yuan took advantage of his free time to read extensively. This routine continued until mid-February.

On this day.

Gu Dong brought Lin Yuan some good news. The post-production of "Journey to the West" was more than half-way done, but the music for the TV series needed Lin Yuan’s touch.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan’s eyes lit up.

He had been waiting for this moment. He had prepared music for the first season of Journey to the West in advance, the one he attached the most importance to being the theme music for the TV series "The Music of the Cloud Palace".

This was a piece of instrumental music.

To achieve the best effects, Lin Yuan alone couldn’t achieve it. The song contained a plethora of musical elements, such as electronic musical instruments, orchestral music, guzheng, pipa, triangle, and pipe bell, as well as, African drums, conga drums, even drums were all included.

Coupled with the effects of the bass and soprano opera singing, even those who hadn’t seen "Journey to the West" would be blown away when they heard this song!

It’s worth mentioning:

Many professional musicians on Earth refer to "The Music of the Cloud Palace" as the king of electronic music, and Xu Jingqing, the composer for Journey to the West, was canonized in the music industry because of his many musical creations in Journey to the West!

This was a true masterpiece!

However, many people don’t know that when Xu Jingqing created "The Music of the Cloud Palace," the leaders at the time were very dissatisfied. China in the 80s had a conservative music outlook, how could they accept electronic music?

Stay tuned to NovelBin.Côm

The song was initially rejected.

It was the director of the CCTV version of Journey to the West, Yang Jie, who insisted on Xu Jingqing’s song being the theme music of Journey to the West despite all opinions. The facts proved that the song was successful, and even more than successful!

Lin Yuan had no such concerns.

He had the final say on Journey to the West’s music.

To maximize the effect of this masterpiece, Lin Yuan hired expert musicians for all the musical instruments mentioned earlier. As far as recording costs go, this was definitely the highest among all Lin Yuan’s pieces!

Of course.

The majority of the musicians were from Starlight, for instance, the "King of Bass" from Qin Continent who was under Starlight. After all, Starlight was one of Blue Star’s most successful music companies, it was not short on excellent musicians. This was the advantage of making music at Starlight.

"What a lineup!"

When Starlight’s top musicians gathered in the company’s recording studio, Zheng Jing, who was passing by, was startled. She didn’t really just pass by, she had heard the news and had rushed over to see what was happening. Only then did she realise how big a deal Lin Yuan’s piece was.

"Sit down and listen together?"

Lin Yuan invited Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing readily agreed.

Twenty minutes later, when Lin Yuan had coordinated the parts for each musician, everyone began rehearsing formally. When the familiar electronic sound first appeared on Blue Star, Zheng Jing’s mouth fell open:

"Wait, wait, wait, wait…"

Lin Yuan couldn’t help but smile. As the familiar music echoed, he seemed to see the image of Sun Wukong bursting out of the Five Finger Mountain in front of him, and he felt inexplicably excited!

"Ah ah ah ah…"

"Ah ah ah ah…"

"Ah ah ah ah ah…"

In the intertwining of various instruments, the soprano began to sing along. It was an astounding performance, even Zheng Jing had unknowingly joined in, awe written all over her face. If this song were to participate in the seasonal ranking?

It would be a massacre!

ps: I just checked the fan list, Feiyu has actually become a silver member, I am extremely grateful. I never dreamt that I would have four silver members while writing this book. None of my previous works had silver members, which I had always longed for. This book made up for all that and I am deeply touched by our generous readers...
