Chapter 88: True Manchu and Han banquet
Sunday morning, 9 a.m., Dongjin.
In the abundant sunshine, a huge exhibition hall building with an iconic inverted triangle design on the top and nearly 60 meters high stands on a square surrounded by greenery.
This is Dongjin International Exhibition Center.
This international convention and exhibition center was built in 1996 under the guidance of the internationally renowned organizational design firm "Sato Integrated Design". It has always been one of the most iconic buildings in Dongjin and even the entire Neon. .
Every year, countless large and small exhibitions are held here.
As for this year’s Asia E-Sports Game Developers Conference, as one of the largest game exhibitions in the Pan-Asia region, it is natural that the conference will be held here!
At this time, it was the entrance stage of the conference in the venue. Players and media were entering the venue one after another, and there was a huge buzz of people and crowds of people.
"Collecting game news and focusing on what players love, hello everyone, I am Tiantian, a reporter from "Tiantian Youbao"!"
Standing on the side of the entrance passage, Tiantian held up a portable microphone and waved to the camera on the camera platform:
“Welcome to watch today’s special live program of Tiantian Youbao!”
“As you can see, I am now in Hall 1, West Building, Dongjin International Exhibition Center,”
“The quadrennial Asian E-Sports Game Developers Conference will be held here,”
“As far as we know, this Asian Games has a total of manufacturers and designers from more than ten countries in five major regions participating,”
“The conference collected a total of twenty-five games, including fifteen small games, five medium-sized games, and five large-scale games,”
“At the later exhibition, we will see the display of ten medium and large games,”
“And the final crown prize will also be generated in these ten games,”
“Now, let’s follow the live broadcast and see how prepared the participating manufacturers are!”
Speaking!
Tiantian waved, and the camera followed him, walking all the way to the manufacturer's seat at the front right of the venue.
There was a lot of discussion in the live broadcast room—
‘Good guy, this venue is so big’
‘Hot knowledge: The name of Exhibition Hall 1 is the International Conference Hall, which can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. The venue is equipped with conference systems and efficient audio-visual systems, as well as simultaneous translation in 7 languages, etc.’
‘Hey guys, after all, this is the Intercontinental Developers Conference held every four years, so it’s really impressive.’
‘My evaluation is - compared with the venue for the final e-sports league, this is the younger brother among the younger brothers’
‘Also (laughing and crying)’
‘Hey, the final league is played in the Bird’s Nest. If you think about it this way, there is really no comparison between this venue.’
‘It’s a league at home, whether it’s a game champion or a league champion, one of them must stay in the Bird’s Nest’
‘In comparison, I still prefer that the game is our own’
‘I feel like there’s something exciting, this time the representatives are Raging Games and Golden Wind’
“The Fury is quite fierce. After all, it is a well-established manufacturer. It is said that this time it has directly exceeded the budget limit and invested 150 million. The game type is also its own unique racing game, but Golden Wind... It’s hard to say...'
“Indeed, although the Golden Wind has been very strong recently, after all, the weight is here. When it was first said that they were participating in the Asian Games, I thought they were a small game group, but it turned out to be a medium-sized game group.”
‘A medium-sized game group requires a minimum investment of 50 million. Golden Wind must have made up the money by selling iron and steel.'
‘I feel like this wave is a bit of a gamble’
“But having said that, Brother Shengzi’s second-generation FPS creativity is indeed awesome. If we strike while the iron is hot and make a second-generation FPS shuttle, it shouldn’t be a disastrous failure.”
‘I hope so, Xiao Huang, I don’t ask you to win the Bird’s Nest championship, I just ask you not to kill yourself in this wave’
‘The name Xiao Huang is too careless’
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha use but
‘After all, I quite like the Golden Wind gadget’
‘Leave it to your angry Oudou to win the championship! Xiao Huang’s main focus is to participate. If you don’t die, you will win! ’
‘…’
You can see it!
Players still love Golden Wind very much.
But for the matter of ‘winning’, I don’t have much hope.
After all, Xiao Huang’s current size is at best a small and medium-sized game company. In theory, even if it participates this time, it should participate in the small game group.
But now, Golden Wind has smashed the pot and sold iron, and squeezed into the medium-sized game track.
This is like a lightweight player in a boxing match who squeezes into a middleweight or even heavyweight match.
The consequences are foreseeable.
That’s why the players cried out, “Please don’t die.”
Forget about winning the championship, we just want to be safe and don't die suddenly.
Following the discussion among players in the live broadcast room!
Tiantian also walked all the way down the stairs to the manufacturer's seat.
At this time, all the manufacturer representatives were basically in place, and Tiantian also interviewed representatives from several manufacturers one after another.
For example, Lionheart Games from Southeast Asia. The game they brought to this conference is called "Super Brawl". It is a MOBA game with a total investment of about 80 million. It is one of five medium-sized games. member.
There is also Gerald Technology from the West Asia sector. Although they are a game company established last year, they are very creative. The work they participated in this time is called "Scorching Track". It is a racing game with a total investment of After reaching 150 million, China's Fury Game is regarded as the biggest competitor.
There is also Kol Co., Ltd. from the neon sector. As a veteran sports game company, this is their second time participating in the Asian Games. This time, they spent about 70 million to create a game based on comics. "Baseball Heroes EX" hopes to win the ranking in this competition.
Interviewed along the way!
Finally, Tiantian arrived at the Huaxia Factory Area at the front.
At this time.
Gu Sheng was chatting with Li Xiaofeng, the chief director of Nuyan Games beside him.
Actually, the two of them have never met before.
But at this kind of intercontinental conference, the two of them are both Chinese, so they will naturally get closer.
Moreover, the two companies are also one of the in-depth partners of Yiyou, and they can be regarded as ‘close relatives’.
After a few simple greetings, the two parties chatted together.
Li Xiaofeng greatly praised Gu Sheng’s talent and creativity, and Gu Sheng also greatly affirmed the pioneering spirit of Nu Yan Game.
For a while, the two of them were chatting animatedly.
Hand did not notice the mascot Xiao Nezha at the very edge, he was almost bored to the point of wanting to die.
Ah...what are they talking about here...Lao Gu, Lao Gu, come play with me... Are you done yet...
Let's make a game called "Poor Stir-fried Vegetables". You can chat with serious participating manufacturers...
Little Nezha looked left and right for a while, clasped his fingers for a while, and stretched the corners of Gu Sheng's clothes. He was extremely bored.
At this moment!
“Hello, Mr. Shen? I am Tiantian, a reporter from Tiantian Youbao. Can I interrupt you for two minutes for an interview?”
A voice sounded beside me. Shen Miaomiao turned around and saw Tiantian standing beside her with her hand outstretched.
Finally someone is willing to talk to me woo woo woo...
Shen Miaomiao was almost moved to tears. She quickly stood up and shook hands with Tiantian: "Oh, yes."
Seeing a familiar figure appear, the barrage burst into cheers—
‘Wuhu! Mr. Ou! ’
‘Hahahahaha, you can’t wear a small fragrant suit with two round hair, that would be too weird’
‘It’s not a bad idea’
‘Ou is so cute’
‘…’
“Thank you, Mr. Shen,”
Tiantian smiled:
“I noticed that this time our Golden Wind is participating in a medium-sized game track, right? So can you tell us a little bit about the investment amount of our Golden Wind’s participating works this time?”
“Okay, haha,”
Shen Miaomiao chuckled and nodded:
“As we all know, Golden Wind is still just a start-up game company. Like other large game companies, it is difficult to spend hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn,”
“So this time, with an investment of 50 million, we will stick to the standard line and enter the medium-sized game track.”
“Oh—that’s pretty good too,”
Smiling approvingly every day:
“After all, Golden Wind has only been established for a short period of time, and now it is a legend in the industry to be able to join the Asian Games. I believe that Golden Wind will also make great progress in the future.”
Shen Miaomiao's mouth twitched and her smile was a little forced: "Haha, I'd like to lend you some kind words."
Did not notice that Shen Miaomiao's expression was unnatural, and continued to ask Tiantian: "We all know that under the leadership of you and Director Gu, Golden Wind has been conquering the market with creativity and attracting the love of countless players."
“So this time, what kind of game will our Golden Wind bring to you players?”
Speaking of this!
Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but her eyes lit up!
If you want to say this, I won’t be tired!
“What we brought this time is a... um..."
Shen Miaomiao thought about her words in her heart.
After all, she had never seen Gu Sheng’s draft plan, and she didn’t know what the core of the game was.
But she couldn't say directly in front of the media reporters, "The work we brought this time is a sand sculpture game that allows players to play cooks and compete in cooking."
Ever since!
The witty Shen Miaomiao had an idea and changed her words:
“It is an innovative work that can satisfy the taste buds of all players! The emergence of this game will definitely bring a gluttonous feast to the gaming circle!”
Let’s cook and stir-fry!
Isn’t it just to satisfy the taste buds of all players and serve a full banquet to the gaming community?
And it is [True·Man-Han banquet] (physics).
嚯—! !
As soon as this statement came out!
Tiantian couldn’t help but feel a tremor in her body!
Sounds so awesome!
Could it be said that this time, Golden Wind has held back another big move?
However!
Not waiting for her to continue asking questions.
Just listen to the host’s voice on the stage:
“Ladies and gentlemen, distinguished manufacturer representatives and outstanding designer friends, distinguished guests from the media,”
“Please take your seats in an orderly manner,”
“Our conference is about to begin…”
Hearing this, even though there are still countless questions in his mind, Tiantian can only give them up for now:
“Okay, thank you Mr. Shen, my interview will end here first. I am very much looking forward to the official announcement of our Golden Wind game in the introduction session later.”
The two shook hands again and the interview came to an end.
Shen Miaomiao sat down again, snickering in her heart.
Just wait for the introduction session, I’m waiting for it too.
It’s not that I have high expectations for this game.
After all, it’s just a cooking game. No matter how fancy it is, it’s just like Xiao Dangjia, letting the dishes shine.
She is just looking forward to the expressions on the fans’ faces after the game is announced.
I believe that the expressions of astonishment and surprise on the faces of all of you here after seeing such a work by Wolong appeared at this grand Asian Games must be wonderful!
As I thought about it, the lights in the venue gradually dimmed.
The 6th Asian E-Sports Game Developers Conference officially opened amidst warm applause!
First of all, Jiang Yingcai, as the representative of the organizing committee, took the stage to deliver a speech.
After that, the manufacturer representatives who won the Crown Award in the last session also took the stage to give speeches. They will represent the Golden Crown of the [Asia’s Best E-Sports Game Crown Award] and the [Asia’s Best E-Sports Game Designer Award]. The golden scepter was returned to the organizing committee.
This is a tradition of the Asian Games.
The golden crown and golden scepter are not permanent.
The winning developer can only hold it for four years, and after four years, the organizing committee will produce a 1:1 replica of the crown and scepter and give it to the winning manufacturer as a souvenir. The original crown and scepter, It must be returned to the organizing committee.
After the handover ceremony, it is the “game introduction session” that media players are most looking forward to.
According to the regulations of the organizing committee, in the coming time, the ten games that have the right to participate in the Crown Competition will be displayed on the stage in sequence.
ˆA representative from the designer or manufacturer will introduce the amount of investment in his or her work, the type of game and the general gameplay of the game.
It can be regarded as a kind of advance announcement.
After that, 200 game media and 500 invited guests will vote on the spot through secret voting to select the "Most Anticipated Game Award" and participate in the closing ceremony.
After the host has introduced the rules!
There was a round of applause!
Follow up!
Major manufacturers took the stage to introduce themselves one after another.
Since it is an e-sports game conference, the game types include shooting, racing, sports, MOBA and chess and cards.
Among the games on the stage, the one that caused the most applause was undoubtedly the FPS game from the Goryeo sector, Descendants of the Lie Yang, produced by Park Dongwang, the head designer of Jintuo Game Company.
This is a multiplayer shooting game with the theme of modern warfare.
The most surprising thing among players and media is its so-called "weapon competition" mode in which 20 people fight each other.
In the game, players fight independently and can gain experience points by killing other players.
But once the experience points are enough to upgrade, what awaits players will no longer be an upgrade, but a weapon downgrade.
Each time you upgrade, the weapons in your hands will drop by one level, from the initial assault rifle, to a submachine gun, to a sniper rifle, and finally to a pistol or even a knife!
Each upgrade is a test of the player's skills.
In the end, the first player to get a kill with a knife will win the crown and win the game!
Such a novel and interesting setting, as soon as it was released, aroused heated discussions among almost all players present!
For a time, there were whispers in the venue, the whispers of media players and even manufacturer representatives, which were novel and surprising—
