Chapter 542 is very different

. This year's award ceremony shortlist.

Linmu Studio's games can be seen in several major awards.

This is normal.

After last year's award ceremony, Linmu Studio released a bunch of new games.

In the first half of the year, they also held the Linmu Carnival.

It would be strange if Linmu Studio was not on the shortlist of games.

Players will immediately question whether the judges have accepted bribes... No one is stupid enough to do such a thing that harms others and does not benefit oneself.

So for the game shortlist of awards.

Players have no opinion. What

they are confused about is... why, when announcing the list, it was also specifically announced that Linmu Studio would not participate in the screening?

This is an unprecedented first.

In the eyes of many players, this goes against common sense.

Let's not talk about whether players expect to see new games from Linmu Studio at the award ceremony.

Whether Linmu Studio participates in the screening or not,

there is no need to make a special statement.

Can't the organizer just pretend to be confused?

In this way, players can watch the awards ceremony with a sense of surprise that something big might happen in the next second...

This is specially explained in advance. Players don’t know whether to say that the organizers of the awards ceremony are considering the players or are stupid...

And the players’ expectations have indeed suffered a devastating blow because of this announcement.

If Linmu Studio has never participated in the film screening, it would be fine.

But the problem is that last year Linmu Studio played the film at the awards ceremony.

And it left a deep impression on all players at the time.

Last year,

"The Legend of Zelda" won the Game of the Year, Best Game Direction, and Best Action Adventure Game awards in one fell swoop.

Then, a bunch of manufacturers,

including Linmu Studio, Gibbs, and Dreamland, began to compete on the scene.

New game trailers came one after another.

In the end,

Linmu Studio appeared and defeated the others with the "Call of Duty" trailer.

The reason why most players are so looking forward to the Global Game Awards this year

is that they want to see this kind of picture again, and at the same time look forward to seeing the games they are looking forward to on it.

For example, the sequel of "Call of Duty" once again beats other games of the same type...

But now the organizers have directly said NO to them... It is clear that such scenes will not appear.

Let alone competing for the first place.

Even the new game of Linmu Studio will not appear.

Whoever sees this will be upset.

Not only domestic players.

The vast majority of overseas players are also very dissatisfied and puzzled about this.

However, the main point of their entanglement is why the new game of Linmu Studio was not broadcast at the awards ceremony.

They are more looking forward to the sequel of "Call of Duty" to appear at the awards ceremony than domestic players, giving everyone a surprise.

As for this.

The organizers did not explain, and there was no way to explain.

They could only pretend not to see it.

After they announced the shortlist for this year's awards, they began to post guest posters for this year's awards ceremony.

At this year's awards ceremony, they invited many European and American celebrities.

Although these people have nothing to do with games,

they are still famous.

This diverted some attention.

But there are still many players who persevere in asking under each tweet why Linmu Studio is not there and why it is specifically stated.

Some extreme players even said directly that if there were no new games from the most popular game companies,

then there would be no point in watching them.

However, the organizers have always adopted a strategy of avoiding talking about this.

However, perhaps there are too many players who are concerned...

Finally,

I don’t know if it was leaked by order.

After the matter fermented for a long time, a person jumped out.

This person claimed to be a member of the Global Game Awards Production Committee.

He used his private account to divide the causes and consequences of the new game trailer of Linmu Studio not appearing at the awards ceremony into five tweets, and then sent them out at a speed of one every three minutes.

The spearhead was directly pointed at the advisory committee headed by Gibber.

Although the official Twitter of the organizer did not confirm it,

it did not refute it.

So many players saw those tweets and

exploded.

Damn!

Is it that serious?

You are a big game company after all! Are you so afraid of Linmu Studio? Even in order to prevent them from stealing the limelight, you jointly exclude them?

The players were shocked, and after they reacted, they ran directly to the official account of Gibber and questioned them aggressively.

And Gibber also responded quickly.

As soon as the players showed their aggression,

they immediately sent out a new tweet.

The general meaning was - there is no such thing, absolutely not! The award ceremony production committee sent an invitation to Linmu Studio, and they rejected it themselves!

They made a very convincing argument, but they ignored the request that Linmu Studio's new game be made into a special feature and broadcast before the award ceremony.

And with the tweet from Gibber,

the organizer of the Global Game Awards also retweeted the tweet.

And the private account of the staff member who broke the news deleted all the tweets of the news a few minutes later.

The influence was killed before it could expand.

But the players are not stupid, they immediately knew that there was something fishy.

Otherwise, how could the tweet of the news disappear in an instant.

But then,

no matter what they said,

the organizer of the Global Game Awards and Gibber did not respond.

The players had no choice...

...

On the other side,

domestic players were also discussing this matter.

However, the main battlefield for domestic players is the player community.

The focus is also different.

"Fuck, have you seen the overseas revelations? This is too disgusting, right? This is all [screenshot][screenshot][screenshot]."

"I don't understand, what does it mean?"

"It's probably that Linmu Studio has been collectively ostracized. It's fucked up."

"The tweet has been deleted. I guess they were under pressure, but I think I understand the general situation. It's really disgusting... Gibbs is also a big company, right? Are they so afraid of competing with Linmu Studio?"

"Actually, it makes sense when you think about it... It would be strange if they weren't afraid? Last year, they competed with Call of Duty and were suppressed. In the end, their new game sales were dismal. This year, it happened again. Who can withstand it?" "

But it shouldn't be like this, right? It just specifically states that Linmu Studio will not participate in the screening... By the way, when will Linmu Studio's new game in the second half of the year be announced? Where will it be announced? I want Linmu Studio's new game! I'll just not watch the awards ceremony if Linmu Studio is not at it!"

"I don't know! Maybe it will be released separately after a while?"

"It's possible. Never mind. We can just play the video ourselves. The effect will surely be good! Come on, Linmu Studio! Let me see your new game!"

"I suggest that Linmu Studio release the video of its new game as soon as possible. If it is delayed until the end of November or December, it will still have an impact. By then, the media and players will focus on the award ceremony... It will produce a strong linkage effect and halo effect. In particular, the most important program of the Global Game Awards is the award ceremony, which will undoubtedly increase the 'authority' of the disclosed content. It

would be fine if new games compete on the same stage, but if not... Linmu Studio is specifically stated not to participate, then the new game at the award ceremony will probably be the most popular."

"What's there to be afraid of? After the game is released, as long as the quality of the game is good, it can break everything!"

"That can't be said. The times are a little different now. Even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley... This is probably the reason why Linmu Studio was excluded."

"Hearing what the above said, I also think it makes sense. Then when will Linmu Studio's new game be announced?"

"Who knows..."

"..."

Domestic players are obviously more concerned about when Linmu Studio's new game will be announced.

They analyzed the reasons why Linmu Studio was excluded, and suggested that Linmu Studio release a new game as soon as possible.

But Lin Yao didn't know about this.

Even if she knew, she wouldn't do it according to the plan.

Lin Yao would thank them...

But these players are destined to be disappointed...

Inside Linmu Studio.

At present, the short film "Box" has been shot.

But Lin Yao's workload has not decreased, but increased.

Because she has to confirm the new game, confirm the editing of the short film, and keep an eye on the promotional video of the e-sports festival and the process and effect of the live stage.

It's almost like a brick.

Move it wherever it is needed...

Of course.

She can hand these things over to other staff members.

Of course, other staff members can do it well.

But the whole idea was determined by Lin Yao, and no one knows better than her what effect needs to be achieved.

In fact, the staff has completed 99% of the work.

The only thing Lin Yao needs to do is to confirm.

But there are many staff members, but she only has one... This is the main reason why her workload is increasing.

"This is the effect of the 'box' LOGO, and it will also be the logo of this year's and future e-sports festivals."

Qi Jianhua showed Lin Yao the results of this period.

He was also busy during this period.

There are a lot of things that need to be done by his film and television department.

He also needs to keep an eye on the multimedia project "Resident Evil".

But it's okay.

Lin Yao's requirements are very detailed, and Lin Yao can draw the original paintings herself... The most difficult part from zero to one does not need to be done by them.

No need to start from scratch.

Many things do not have to be done by Qi Jianhua, he can hand them over to his subordinates.

So it can be barely stabilized.

On the screen.

As Qi Jianhua

's words fell. A box similar to a Rubik's Cube began to jump, rotate, and reorganize on the screen.

After a few seconds, it froze into a LOGO.

"The colors don't need to be too bright, and the main body should be changed to black and white."

Lin Yao read it several times, then lowered her head to think about it, and immediately gave her modification suggestions: "Then change the angle of the freeze frame slightly, and adjust it again to make it appear in a square shape."

After she said that, she thought for a while, and asked Qi Jianhua for a pen and paper.

Then she directly sketched the angle she wanted on the paper.

"Okay."

Qi Jianhua looked at the stick figure drawn by Lin Yao, sighed, and did not bother his subordinates, and adjusted it on the spot.

It took a while.

Qi Jianhua finished modifying the frozen appearance of the Rubik's Cube, and then asked: "Is this okay?"

"OK, that's it."

Lin Yao looked at the gorgeous LOGO on the screen and nodded: "This will be the final draft, remember to modify the promotional video of the e-sports festival at the same time."

"Okay." Zhong Xiu responded, and then asked: "Does the special effects of the short film need to be modified?"

"No, that's not the LOGO, the effect is already very good."

Lin Yao picked up the pen cap and put it into the marker in her hand, and then handed it back to Qi Jianhua: "The only thing to modify is the promotional video, nothing else needs to be modified."

"Okay..."

Qi Jianhua just responded and turned his head to look.

Lin Yao had already left.

A few minutes later,

Lin Yao came to the testing department.

Zhong Xiu was there too.

"How is it?" Lin Yao came to Zhong Xiu and asked.

"No big problem, after all, it started a long time ago. It's just another functional test, compatibility test, performance test and stress test. Don't worry."

"Okay, remember to pack the game for me, I'll go through the process later."

Lin Yao got a definite reply, thought about it, left a word, and turned away.

"I have packed it for you, but are you sure you can..."

Zhong Xiu was about to turn around and ask Lin Yao if she could really pass the sequel to "Dark Souls"?

But when he turned his head,

Lin Yao had already run away...

Then,

Lin Yao appeared in the marketing department and met the person in charge, Xi Qianyu.

The two sat down.

Lin Yao went to the timetable set by the marketing department, looked through it carefully, and was relieved after confirming that there was no problem.

Finally stopped.

Then,

she also heard from Xi Qianyu about the revelation of the Global Game Awards production staff.

Lin Yao shook her head with some amusement: "Ha, these people are really bold to say that... and I refused. What if I turn around and say that Linmu Studio wants to participate in the broadcast, what will they do?"

"They will probably refuse on the grounds that the process is difficult to change."

Xi Qianyu thought about it and said a possibility: "Anyway, they shouldn't have to admit it with their nose pinched. Since they dare to say so, they will definitely not let us make a surprise attack... In fact, I said this mainly to ask the boss, do we need to issue a special announcement? Explain to the players their unreasonable demands and so on."

"No need."

Lin Yao pondered for a moment and refused: "They will definitely not admit it. Even if the producer March Connor feels sorry for Linmu Studio, he will not admit such a thing. It's too embarrassing.

Maybe they will be counterattacked and add gimmicks for them. What's more, if they really agree, you ask me to put the broadcast at the awards ceremony now, I won't be happy... I've been busy for so long.

So don't say anything, just do your own thing."

"Okay."

Xi Qianyu smiled and nodded.

"Then you get busy."

Lin Yao stood up.

Xi Qianyu stood up immediately out of respect.

Lin Yao glanced at Xi Qianyu, who was also wearing a skirt and a white shirt, and whose long legs were also wrapped in soft black stockings. She paused and asked curiously, "By the way, I have a question that interests me. Do you think you can satisfy my curiosity..."

Xi Qianyu: "Ah? You said..."

Lin Yao asked directly, "Do you know Miss Mu?"

"Manager Mu?"

Xi Qianyu was stunned for a moment, then smiled and replied, "I don't know her. I only met her during the interview, but we are alumni of the same school."

"Is that so?"

Lin Yao sighed, "No wonder you and Miss Mu look so similar. So which school are you from? Is the culture of your school the senior sister with black stockings..."

Xi Qianyu couldn't help laughing when she heard this: "The culture of our school is not the senior sister with black stockings. As for the name, since you have a deep misunderstanding, I won't mention it... But do I really look like Manager Mu?"

"Yeah."

Lin Yao nodded. As for what school.

It doesn't matter if Xi Qianyu doesn't answer.

She would ask Mu Wanqing later.

She would tell her...

"Boss... since you said I look a lot like Manager Mu, can I pinch your face like Manager Mu?"

Just when Lin Yao was daydreaming.

When Xi Qianyu heard Lin Yao confirm that she looked alike, she suddenly leaned forward and made a request.

And, she looked eager to try...

Lin Yao was slightly startled, then took a step back with some disgust, glared at Xi Qianyu, and replied directly: "Get out, or I'll fire you..."

Xi Qianyu: "..."

She looked disappointed.

Lin Yao ignored the disappointed Xi Qianyu and turned around and left.

Then he went all the way back to his office.

He sat down again.

Then.

Lin Yao spent some time going over the work that needed to be confirmed in his mind. After making sure that there was nothing missing, he relaxed, found the controller, and opened the game that Zhong Xiu had packed and sent over.

He started playing the new game that had not yet been released.

As for what game.

Lin Yao would only use the controller when playing action games...

to start the game.

Looking at the familiar ash cemetery.

The familiar tough guy.

The familiar ashes.

The familiar "Dark Soul 3".

Lin Yao held the controller and showed a nostalgic look.

But soon...

After moving forward and being taught a lesson by Gu Da twice.

The nostalgic look on Lin Yao's face disappeared...

Even.

He couldn't help but become suspicious.

"Did the production team increase the difficulty?" Lin Yao looked at the screen with a suspicious look.

He had never thought about the possibility that he had become a bad player...

...

As time went by.

The influence of Linmu Studio not participating in the film screening of the awards ceremony gradually faded...

It was probably a deal.

Although Linmu Studio was missing from this year's Global Game Awards, the lineup was much stronger than in previous years.

Well-known producers have hinted that they will attend.

There are also a bunch of big-name stars.

Many players have already accepted the fact that Linmu Studio will not be present at the awards ceremony.

Because apart from psychological factors,

this awards ceremony does have enough surprises and is indeed worth looking forward to.

So many players, including those who have seen the leaks, can't help but look forward to this year's Global Game Awards.

And Frank from Gibbs is very sensitive to the change in the wind.   He is not surprised

by this .   "That's what people are like."   Frank sat behind his desk, raised his glass, savored the taste of joy, and said to the secretary next to him: "Under the linkage effect and halo effect, if Linmu Studio is still there this year, players will focus all their attention on their new game, but they are not there, and players can't find a substitute, so they can only focus on our new game.   What is March Connor still worried about no one watching... In fact, what can change without Linmu Studio? The players who should pay attention will still pay attention. Without Linmu Studio, players can still focus on other games at the awards ceremony."   "Yeah."   The secretary responded.   Frank was right.   Things really developed as he said.   After all, the Global Game Awards is a grand event in the gaming circle at the end of the year.   The world does not revolve around Linmu Studio.   It is true that all the players who should pay attention to it have paid attention to it.   However,   there are still a large number of players, especially domestic players, who are quite concerned about Linmu Studio.   Mainly, their new game! Where is it!   When will they announce it!   Why has there been no movement!   Many players have expressed the same doubts in the player community.   But Linmu Studio has not made   any movement. It's like there is no new game...   Time passes day by day.   Except for occasional hints, Linmu Studio has no intention of revealing new games.   The trailer of Linmu Studio's new game has disappeared.   As the date of the Global Game Awards approaches.   Many players think that Lin Yao is angry... She may be dissatisfied with the organizer of the Global Game Awards, so she wants to announce the new game on the same day of the awards ceremony to go hard...   But halfway through November, Linmu Studio has not made any movement.   The credibility of this speculation is getting higher and higher.   Some players think this is good.   But some players think it is totally unnecessary.   However, players did not see any new games from Linmu Studio.   On the contrary, the Global Game Awards have been getting more and more active.   On November 14th,   Ann Albert, a well-known producer of Dreamland, tweeted that she would see him on December 5th, and added a "surprise" expression.   Then later, Ken Nelson and Tiffany Hume, two star producers of Gibbs, also tweeted that there would be surprises waiting for players at the awards ceremony.   Then, it was the producers of several famous Japanese companies.   A group of producers, as if they had made an appointment,   began to send out similar tweets at the same time and in the same period, asking players to look forward to it.   Except for Linmu Studio...   This made Linmu Studio's position strange.   After all, their popularity... is equally high, but there is no trace of them at such a grand event.   And most ordinary players, after this round of bombardment.

At this moment, they had completely forgotten about the fact that Linmu Studio was not included in the award ceremony.

They were full of expectations for the upcoming Global Game Awards...

[This year... we will present the best game event to all players! ]

That evening.

In the early morning in China.

The account of the organizer of the Global Game Awards retweeted the tweets of these producers and sent out a tweet of its own.

The moment the tweet was sent out.

The number of replies instantly skyrocketed!

The replies with the highest number of likes were all full of laughing and crying expressions and words of expectation.

Just as European and American players, and even domestic players were discussing the lineup of this Global Game Awards.

Linmu Studio seemed to really be arguing with them...

The organizer of the Global Game Awards had just sent out a tweet.

Not long after.

Linmu Studio's overseas account also updated the tweet.

First, Linmu Studio released the lOGO of this year's e-sports festival.

Then, it released the promotional video of this year's e-sports festival.

Players who follow e-sports events were immediately excited.

Players who don't pay much attention to the game were not interested in such a promotional video of the e-sports festival.

After all, it is not a new game.

However, there is always a lack of idle players... Even if they are not interested, there are still many players who will click to watch.

So soon.

Those players who have seen the trailer all discovered that

this year's Linmu Studio's e-sports festival trailer is very different from previous years!

The chapter says that it has disappeared temporarily, but it can be seen in the background... It will probably be restored after a while

(End of this chapter)
