Text/Yangcheng Evening News all -media reporter Gong Weifeng

Recently, there have been reports that Xiaotong, a 22 -year -old female college student in Changsha last week, was scared to kill the whole body, dizziness, and numbness. Subvective cavity bleeding. After the incident appeared on the Weibo hot search list, it caused heated discussion among netizens: Some people think that for occasional incidents, public opinion should not "anger" script killing; others believe that the supervision of script killing is urgent, and grades should be managed and reminded before playing. Essence

Recently, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Public Security issued the "Notice on Strengthening the Management of Scripts and Entertainment Operation Places", which for the first time to include new formats such as script and room escape from script and room escape. Faced with the gradual upgrading regulatory policy, where will the script kill?

Recently, a reporter from Yangcheng Evening News visited the well -known Dafen chess board game drama in Guangzhou, interviewed the manager, the script kill host Udon, and the veteran player Roger, laver rolls, and chanting poems. They have something to say about the market dynamics of script killing and the changes of the player and the player group.

It is not easy to cultivate the host, you need to understand and "re -create"

Nowadays, the script killing world soldiers are divided into two ways: one is an immersive script killer participated in actors, and the main type is the main type; the other is a board game script kill, which is reasonable killing. We tried to equip the beautiful theme room in 2015, but soon faced the selection of the track. Some script killing shops relied on a large amount of investment in deep investment and immersive fields. We have been in the industry since 2009. We have rich experience in board games. After weighing weighing, we decided to peel away the acting elements, return to the original intention, and only do the be board game script killing, such as pure "reasoning killing", "Kusalu running group", "dragon and underground and underground underground City running group ".

In the "Dragon and Dungeon" game, "Dungeon" managers are called DM. Today, many people are used to calling the script killing the host as DM. This is inaccurate, and the industry is more accustomed to the "host" or "MC". The cost of immersive script killing is mainly on the road, and the cost of traditional board game script killing is mainly to cultivate hosts. Each host needs to master dozens or even hundreds of scripts.

We are one of the first three stores in Guangzhou to do script. Many senior script murder hosts in Guangzhou enlighten them from these three stores. The script kills in China in 2016 and 2017 in China. At that time, we had made seven or eight years of board games, accumulating rich teaching, interaction, hosting experience, and more advantages compared to other stores.

When we first played the European and American party game "The Mystery of Murder", we did not kill it as a script, but instead as a board game. At that time, the script was still in English and had to be translated word by word. After we opened the script, we found that there was a host manual inside. Someone quickly found that people who read the manual could not play books, and everyone was unwilling to watch it. After pushing off, another friend and I were responsible for watching the host manual to guide the process. After playing, we found that this model was very special, and it became interested in research.

The first popular script was called "Dead Piece". At that time, there was no concept of the host killing host in the industry. Because of the script that could be used, two hands could be counted. Initially, most of the stores opened this way to send scripts and clue cards to each player, announced the results and review the case for the player at the end. However, the host of our store is already playing with the whole process. In the process, we will intervene and guide players to enjoy the game.

The same script, different hosts, and different experiences. How the host who brings the book allows different players to get satisfactory feelings, the training system of the store. At the beginning, the host was executed strictly in accordance with the requirements of the script, but after bringing more books, the host would quickly capture the player's real -time experience, and re -created according to the mechanism, content, and gameplay of the script. For example, the player asked: "I can find out when I pass through the stairs?" If there is no clue in the script, the general host will inform the player "no clue", but the experienced host will add plot elements according to the on -site environment, such as "There was a sudden sound when you passed through the stairs, and suddenly it was dark in front of you." Excellent host can make the script environment more reasonable, so as not to be cold because of the narrative fault.

At present, there are three main types of training hosts on the market: participating in the host training course, system training of chain stores, and participating in the exchanges between the hosts of the industry in the industry. Taking our store as an example, it takes about half a year to have a novice host from nothing to the level of basis, but it takes at least two years to reach a relatively ideal state. If you fail to meet the requirements, you can only do basic work.

Don't blindly pursue the hardcore, the best one is the best

Players who want to get a good experience usually need to make three choices: suitable scripts, fits the "same car" (script killing: one game for one car) player and excellent host.

Before the game starts, we will ask players some questions, such as what we have played before, and we make basic judgments to choose the difficulty. Players often ask: "What is the best book here?" But this question is difficult to answer. For players, there are only the most suitable books and no best. If novice players want to play high difficulty, experience will not be good. Generally speaking, we will give other choices, and most players will obey suggestions.

For novice players, we will not recommend hard -core reasoning and emotional books, but we will recommend standards with lower risks. Any player can find a sense of presence in the standard book, and the host's control will be stronger. After bringing a newcomer, the host fully understands the player's style. When they play next time, they can give reasonable suggestions. For a while, the script killing industry has a particularly bad atmosphere, which is the script fire, and the store will push what the book, such as the hard -core "Year of the Rings", but in fact, many novice players are not suitable for playing.

The quality of the script on the market is uneven. Due to the low tears of the plot of the five -person script, some people took the picture of the players and cried, and suddenly became hot on Douyin. In fact, the quality of this script is really not good. At that time, many people came to inquire about this book, but we did not buy that book. This kind of player who can only coax has not been played, we don't want players to contact.

Choosing this is important, and it is also important to choose the "same car". Is a group of people playing with script together? One situation is that the three or five friends organized the bureau on their own. After understanding the basic situation, we will help them choose the appropriate script. Two or three hundred books, there is always one suitable one. The other is that we help the player to form a bureau and play with a suitable player to play a book. The host must also be adapted with the player. Some hosts have strong expressive power. He may be suitable for horror. Some people are good at guiding emotions. He may be suitable for emotional books. Some people have strong interaction ability. He may be suitable for funny books.

Of the three major factors, the host is the last line of defense. Even if the reasonable player chose the emotional role, the emotional player chose a rational role, and the host can guide the script to the field that the player is good at. Excellent host can turn decay into magic and play the effect of eight points for six points. However, in order to bring the three -point script to eight points, the host needs to push the script in particular. In 2017, the earliest batch of people wrote the first bucket of gold. At that time, it was extremely lacking, and as long as the quality was still, I could play. In that circumstances, "the clever woman has to cook for rice without rice", and the rotten script also trained the host at the time.

Online drainage to offline to meet the social needs of players

The script kills offline social culture. Like other board games and video games, it is a medium.

Many people now come into contact with such games through scripts. For the store, online is a particularly good drainage method. But online hosts cannot guide the player's experience like offline hosts to observe the environment and player status. In order to allow players to have a better experience, the host who is pursuing will also learn psychology. For example, I have learned the "personality color" psychology, observed the needs of each player, some people are pursuing a sense of accomplishment, some people are pursuing a sense of joy, and some people are pursuing Rules.

The host of the script is like a teacher. No matter how familiar with the script, we have to prepare lessons every day to review the experience points that players cannot miss in a script, and what are the differences between players. For the new book, we will conduct internal simulation in advance, and then initiate a "experience car" once or twice, which is equivalent to the game public beta, which will give players some discounts. A host can prepare up to two new books a week. We have a handbook of similar lessons, and the host also has academic discussions with each other.

The script kills is a good social way. Some players killed a marriage through the script. In a script, I arranged a warm male role to a boy, and he liked a girl played. The two entered the play during the play, and added WeChat on the spot, and fell in love outside the show. Later, the time was mature. The boy asked me to arrange another emotional book and proposed to girls through the role. It was extremely romantic.

Our script killing shop is a bit of the atmosphere of "Late Night Cafeteria". A group of people who have played board games and script killing, here to eat barbecue, drink some wine, play and become friends, chatting and crying. Modern human relations are too scarce, and they are basically online social. In fact, everyone is not satisfied. After so many years of script killing, I can always harvest friends and stories. They have become priceless wealth. If they only make money, they will not have such a harvest.

Now, the "love period" of the public and the market for the script has passed, which is normal. Some of the scripts I have brought to kill players, and recently returned to traditional board games. In fact, we are happy to see it, because the script is not much, but there are many board games. Tomato scrambled eggs can't be eaten every day.

[The story of their script killing]

Roger Internet practitioner

The earliest contact with the ancient style was to change the script to kill the script. If it does not meet my interest, I did not enter the pit. Three or four years ago, I quickly entered the pit after contacting the inference script. I found a few friends to play together on weekends. Sometimes I found a store to arrange "carpooling". I have played more than 100 books now. After playing a lot, players will re -team, because they find out that the routine of familiar playmate reactions will lack freshness.

I like the hard core book of the story structure, and I don't like the suture of the stitching stalk. This is like I go to listen to the talk show and want to listen to dry goods. If I give me a network paragraph, a collection of vulgar jokes, the experience will not be good. Now the development of script killing has reached a bottleneck. From the player's experience, the so -called many new scripts are actually not new. Even if a script is blown to the sky by netizens, I can always find traces of playing other books before, and the sense of gap is strong. But this is also inevitable. In my opinion, the hardcore book is similar to the creation of reasoning novels. The innovation space of the reasoning mode will not be larger. It may be the way to tell the story. Combined. According to my observation, the overall level of players in first -tier and second -tier cities, strong logic capabilities, and hardcore reasoning are more market. Happy camp is in third- and fourth -tier cities. When I go back to my hometown, I can feel a strong contrast. The boss's operating ideas, host quality, and selection of books have room for rise. I am not satisfied with the overall quality of the script killing on the market, but I can understand that any creative industry usually has only 5%of outstanding works, half of the garbage, and the rest can be played. I am also exploring the creation of script and sorting out the multi -logic process.

After playing for many years of script killing, I have experienced the experience of "jumping" (leaving the field halfway). It was a "carpool" game. There was a couple sitting one by one. The girl put her thighs on the boy's thigh, which was very indecent. I endured it at the time, but I did not expect that the girls had no taste when playing games. They did not talk about rules. The host advised her not to use it. I couldn't bear it, so I left. Of course, I have also experienced a good experience, such as playing script killing, knowing girls who are interested, and talking about love. This experience is common among players.

Talking about supervision: Moderate supervision is necessary, but it should not be carried out. There are adults around me playing script killing. In order to promote the plot, there are moderate death issues in the script, suspense colors, and descriptions of the scene of the murder.

I first knew the script killing through the variety show "Star Detective", and then played on the APP. The experience was poor. In 2020, I came into contact with offline script killing, so I couldn't stop. As of now, I have played more than 50 games. The shortest script has been killed for three hours and the longest is eight hours. In the past year, I stayed in the script every Saturday.

Playing the script kills, I value the quality of the host most. The searching session tests the host. If he can bring the search process, the player will experience a good sense, but if he "worsen", the experience will not work. There is a slight fear, I have played twice, the first host is full of drama, and the player feels very strong. I recommend friends to play together. But when we changed a shop to play, the host kept urging us to take the process, and the script experience was poor. People who are "car" are also very important. If you are lucky to meet people who are bad, it is a disaster. My personality will not "jump the car" halfway, so it will be uncomfortable to play barely.

The feeling of playing script killing is usually very good. Go home and meet with high school classmates on holidays. Everyone has about a script killing, and soon retrieves the familiarity of the year. In the past, my friends and I went to KTV to sing, but now they play scripts. In the past two years, when I travel to Beijing, Xi'an, and Qinghai, I will also search for better local shops and play scripts with friends or "carpooling".

The script has been killed too much, and I found the commonality of the player: I do n’t like to be at home, prefer to play; IQ is online, with higher academic qualifications; reasoning this player is very rational. I like to play reasoning books, and I am not able to accept emotional books, because I do n’t want to cry in front of my friends. I feel that it is difficult to get myself back if I break the defense.

Talking about supervision: Supervision is necessary. The script and multi -sexual script can easily cause players' discomfort. This element does not exist, but it is best to have labeling prompts in the game introduction. It indicates which places may cause players to be uncomfortable and allow players to choose to play or not to play by themselves.

I like reasoning novels. I have played script killing at the end of 2018. As of now, I have played more than 100 books. At that time, colleagues organized a play, and the reasoning process of the factual basis made me very pleasant. I quickly entered the pit. I like reasoning books, deliberately create a terrorist atmosphere, and even the suspense of spiritual elements. I didn't accept the emotional book. I used to play with my colleagues. The girl next to me was crying, but I had a question mark.

I set up a script killing community in the company. There were about 300 people in the group. A group of people were called to use the rest time to find a conference room and sometimes opened several games at the same time. At the beginning, we played the APP with the script, but gradually tired of the routine of the APP script, and we met to go to the physical store to brush the book. We value the reputation of the store and the script on social networks. Of course, the score is for reference only. Unscilated merchants sometimes deliberately brush the scores, and players will inevitably step on the pit. The recommendation of friends is usually more credible.

Because I often play with my colleagues, when the plot is more dog -blooded, we will bring dramatic jokes to life. Sometimes, we will also play the script that makes everyone speechless. For example, the result of the deceased's autopsy is drowning. Finally, the murderer's murder method — the murderer covered the victim with a pillow, and then squeezed the water into the deceased's lungs with a lotion. We are incredible: What about the common sense of screenwriters? In order to avoid stepping on the pit, we will choose an excellent host to bring the book. It is said that the reservation of a star host in Guangzhou has reached three months.

My colleague has just opened a script killing shop. He is very optimistic about the development potential of script killing. He usually buy books on the "Little Black Detective" script trading platform, but now lacks an excellent host.This is similar to many school enrollment -teachers are important.Source | Yangcheng Evening News · Yangcheng School
