Chapter 547 Sequel!

On the big screen for watching the game, the advertisement that was supposed to be played turned out to be a short film.

And the protagonist of the short film turned out to be the person in charge of the "Call of Duty" project team.

The self-introduction he said.

Really... very unexpected!

But on the other hand, the foreshadowing of the short film just now made everything seem less abrupt... and seemed to be logical.

Linmu Studio is like a scumbag.

The short film "The Box" gave players hope on the one hand, but made that hope fleeting on the other hand.

And now.

It seemed like the moment of showdown...

All the players who were about to go to the toilet stopped.

Looking at the big screen for watching the game in the distance.

Frank didn't care about the coffee on his pants, and stared at the live broadcast.

He gritted his teeth for a while, while clutching his pants with coffee residue.

All the players were attracted by this scene.

At this moment.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is the focus of everyone's attention.

On the screen.

"Hi, everyone... I'm Li Xiyao, the project manager of Call of Duty."

After greeting everyone, Li Xiyao, the person in charge of Call of Duty, smiled and continued:

"This time, I want to talk to you about this game... Call of Duty caused a big sensation as soon as it was released last year.

The reason why this project was able to be established was that Lin Yao proposed to make a brand new FPS work, a hypothetical modern war!

When I heard it, I was excited and took the job without hesitation.

Modern warfare, this is a subject that Linmu Studio has never been involved in. Breakout can barely be considered one, and I also participated in this project."

"But Breakout focuses on map confrontation, which is completely different from Call of Duty in essence, so when I took the job, I excitedly thought, what kind of real environment can we make in modern urban areas? And how to realize gameplay that has never been experienced before?

After getting Lin Yao's planning agency and plan, I knew what to do, but a new problem arose. How can we reflect the atmosphere of modern warfare? How should we do it?"

"This is a problem, and it is also a problem that troubles our entire project team. At that time, I had just come out of the Breakout project team, and my only experience was the game Breakout. It can be said that I had no experience at all.

But do you know what the best thing about working in Linmu Studio is? That is, although we have no experience... but when you work in a place full of motivation, there will be people there who will start to surprise you!"

"Lin Yao, Zhong Xiu, the Breakout project team... they gave the greatest help and enthusiastically devoted themselves to this project, growing together with all the staff of our group! Working hard together to make the game.

When this work was finally presented and I played it myself, I was so excited. I was more convinced than anyone that this was the best game I had led so far, and players would definitely like it!"

"And the facts proved that my hunch was right. When I saw your praise, I felt that this job was really great!"

"But after a brief excitement, the problem came again... the sequel."

"..."

On the screen.

Li Xiyao talked about the story of the birth of the first generation of Call of Duty.

The players still looked up at the viewing screen without moving.

There was both expectation and worry on their faces.

North America.

Frank's expression was even more complicated.

All the videos played on the spot were translated in advance, and the lines of the on-site host were also confirmed in advance, and then subtitles were added simultaneously.

The only thing that needed to be translated was the interviews with the players.

For such a big event, it is impossible not to consider these things.

So Frank could understand what the other party said.

But he would rather not understand!

Because it's like cutting meat with a blunt knife.

Players can still hold on to expectations.

He just felt tortured.

What on earth is it!

Hurry up!

Frank clenched his pants with coffee, looking at Li Xiyao, the person in charge of "Call of Duty" on the screen, his face twisted.

"Will it... be an announcement of postponement?"

Suddenly.

Frank spoke.

The first half of the words were hesitant, and the second half was full of expectations.

And on the screen.

It seemed as if it was confirming Frank's words.

Li Xiyao scratched his head when talking about the sequel, looking embarrassed: "The previous work was so good, which made the production of the sequel more difficult. When I started to make the sequel, I was not excited at all. At the beginning, I was thinking...'It's over, my God, how can we finish it on time?' Because the workload is too heavy, the expectations of the players, the excellent previous work, and the not-so-abundant production cycle, all these have put the project in a difficult situation.

We don't want to fool the players."

Hearing this.

Some players immediately showed disappointment and lowered their heads.

Li Xiyao's tone here is heavy, because he has really experienced such a mental journey... It can be said that he can empathize with it.

So he said it with emotion.

It seems that he will say something like this in the next second: "So, for better quality, we decided to postpone the release of the game."

And on the other side of the screen.

Frank listened to Li Xiyao's heavy tone and was instantly ecstatic! The smile started from the corner of his mouth and spread upwards!

But halfway through,

it got stuck.

"But."

Li Xiyao is very talented in acting, and he can control his tone freely...

The next second, he instantly put away his heavy tone, seamlessly switched to a happy tone, and excitedly said: "Again, when you work in a place full of motivation, there will be people there who will start to surprise you... just like the first "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

With the efforts of all members of the project team.

We finally completed this work and made the best result we could. We even squeezed out time to polish and perfect the work and make the game as perfect as possible... Although, this also made us miss the release date of previous years."

"But we missed the release date, but we didn't get blamed. On the contrary, when the project was perfectly completed, Lin Yao came up with a very good idea - she said that this sequel, including the previous one, had received help from the "Breakout" project team, and even I came from the "Breakout" project team.

Why not... let this sequel meet the audience at the e-sports festival, just like a continuation of the same line!"

When Li Xiyao was halfway through his words.

All the players who had just lowered their heads suddenly raised their heads.

Although he still had some disbelief in his expression, he gradually became excited.

Li Xiyao is an old PUA master.

As for Frank... his smile froze.

He kept smiling but not smiling.

He didn't move.

"Well, let's enjoy the trailer of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" in the interval... I wish you all a pleasant evening!"

In the video,

Li Xiyao paused, smiled brightly, clapped his hands lightly, raised his right hand, and pulled it from the edge of the screen to the other side.

It was like a prelude.

He disappeared from the camera.

Then,

the screen went dark.

After a pause of about one second,   the classic green title of

"Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"   slowly appeared in the center of the screen.   Then, there were   also the sounds of artillery and gunfire that symbolized war!   "..."   "Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"   Finally,   the mystery was solved!   It was the sequel! The trailer of the sequel! The trailer for the sequel to Call of Duty!   The players who had just been PUAed for a while.   The players who had been suppressed, questioned, and expected for a while.   After a brief silence.   Suddenly, they broke out!!   The brothers Mark and David, who were sitting in the lower area of ​​the audience, stood up on the spot when they saw the title appear, and then stood directly on the chairs, hooking their shoulders and shouting!   Unexpectedly.   They really didn't expect!   There would be such a surprise when participating in the Linmu E-sports Festival!   Since the e-sports event was held.   During the break of the event, the warmest cheers resounded throughout the venue at this moment.   Countless e-sports players and backstage staff.   Hearing the cheers.   They were all stunned.   The next opening game hasn't started yet! ?   Then look at the screen.   Oh my god...   At this time, only the host and the commentator are better.   The commentators of the opening ceremony all work for Linmu E-sports. When the game starts, they will mention the new games played in the interval, just like advertisements.   So they know the arrangement for tonight.   But.   Even if they know.   The commentators sitting on the commentary desk.   I found that even without a game, Linmu Studio can still make players burst out with such a volume of voice.   I still feel... very shocked.   Too exaggerated!   And just as the players were cheering.   The trailer of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".   Started to play.   The green title gradually faded.   Thunder, artillery, gunshots and human voices mixed together and gradually became louder.   The opening of the trailer was a lightning strike.   The moonlight was bleak...   The sky was drizzling...   The artillery was roaring.   All I could see was scorched earth.   In the distance.   The presidential palace of the largest country in North America was emitting smoke and flames... It seemed to have fallen.   The camera slowly pulled up.   A soldier faced the hail of bullets from the direction of the White House, yelling and charging forward: "Fight! Two o'clock!"   What happened?   The players finally stopped cheering and focused their attention on the screen.

But in the next scene, the screen suddenly went dark.

Then, the voice of the famous character Price from the previous generation sounded.

[The front line is our history.]

As he said this,

the picture appeared again.

This time it was a residential area.

A fighter plane broke into two pieces and lay in the middle of the street, which was extremely tragic.

A team of soldiers moved forward.

Then, a soldier was given a close-up.

The soldier slowly raised his gun.

The drum beats in the background music sounded, like a human heart beating.

Then after a heavy beat.

The picture changed again.

In the snowy Siberia, a submarine surfaced.

On the helicopter, the soldier with a Mohawk nodded to the camera.

Then there was an explosion, explosion... explosion!

[There is war everywhere.]

[This is an era of heroes... an era of legends.]

Price's magnetic voice sounded as the picture changed, and ushered in the end.

The debris and flames of the explosion flew all over the sky.

A man in shackles strangled a red-clad soldier with a chain, slowly moved towards the camera, and then pushed the soldier away after getting closer.

Then he punched the camera.

Or more accurately, the player who controlled the character.

Bang -

the character acting as the camera stood upside down.

The man in shackles immediately picked up the gun on the ground and pointed it at the player who fell to the ground with blurred vision.

But the next scene.

"Drop your weapon!"

The man with a mohawk who had just appeared raised his pistol and pointed it at the prisoner in shackles.

At this time.

The player could see the prisoner's appearance clearly.

The previous Captain Price.

He heard the "drop your weapon" coming from behind him, and tilted his head slightly in surprise and asked: "Soap?"

"...Price?"

The man with a mohawk was also a little surprised. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he immediately put down his gun.

He helped Price up and handed him the pistol: "This is yours, sir."

Price took the gun without hesitation, and then...

"Let's have a go!"

"Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!"

The video was played here.

As soon as this sentence appeared.

The cheers of the players rang out again!

No doubt.

Many players.

Really don't know what the new recruit Soap, who they played in the previous generation, looks like...

So when Soap with a Mohawk appeared in front, the players didn't react at all.

However.

When Price, who impressed the players in the previous generation, appeared in the camera and called out Soap's name.

The players all reacted.

This is the new recruit in the previous game!

The two met again, and the story was brand new.

This feeling came out immediately.

The new game of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"!

The plot continues the previous generation! A pure sequel!

It's really here!

And this sequel.

There are too many things worth paying attention to.

Why did Price become a prisoner? Since Soap appears in sight, who will the players play in this game? What kind of story will be told this time?

These are the points that players care about.

At this moment,

the trailer only took 35 seconds... to completely arouse the interest of players.

How can players not cheer!

And then.

In the second half of the trailer.

After the words "Let's do a big job",

the screen switches again.

A small submarine, a soldier wearing flippers and fully armed, an assassination operation from the deep sea.

A dagger kills.

The offshore building assault scene, which is in the same vein as the first level of the previous game, but the gameplay is completely different, appears again.

Then there are snowmobile chases, wild racing and shooting, yachts rushing, parkour on the roof of a slum...

A complete blockbuster trailer!

It stimulates the hormones of players every moment.

New characters! New environment! New weapons! New enemies!

The entire trailer is revealing all the time... This is a new game!

And the last scene.

On the snowy mountain.

The character played by the player jumped up and used an ice axe to dig into the ice, but because of the impact, he almost fell into the bottomless abyss.

At the critical moment,

the teammate appeared in the center of the camera and reached out to grab the player.

Everything seemed to have returned to last year.

Just when the players' emotions reached their peak,

the game name appeared.

[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2]

[Officially released on December 20.]

[New game meeting at 10 am on December 6.]

This completely ignited the players! !

Let's not talk about the last scene and how the players felt.

Just the fact that the game will be released on December 20!

This date

is enough for the players to cheer again!

They originally thought that there would be no new games from Linmu Studio this year.

But.

Linmu Studio can always give players a ray of light at the right time...

just like the light at this moment...

so countless people.

This time, they are so excited.

The exposure of this game has also reached its peak, leaving a very deep impression on all the players who have seen the trailer.

The opening ceremony has already attracted enough players.

After the first game.

There is such a powerful scene.

How good the effect is can be imagined.

It is hard to tell whether the effect of Linmu Studio showing the film at the e-sports festival is better than that of showing the film at the Global Game Awards.

Because the players who are currently watching the live broadcast of the e-sports festival will definitely say that the effect of showing the film at the e-sports festival is better!

As for the audience who does not play games, Kou Hong.

... He was confused the whole time.

He did not know the game "Call of Duty". After the game

, he also wanted to go to the toilet. But the LOGO that appeared on the screen made him stop.

Then.

He watched the whole trailer.

As for the feeling... He did not feel it was profound. In addition to thinking that the game trailer was like a movie, he felt that the players were too crazy.

The two overseas audiences next to him stood on the chairs, took off their clothes and waved them vigorously. It was really impressive...

At this time.

The trailer ended.

The black and white logo of Linmu Studio's e-sports festival, LOGO, appeared again, as if to take everything back, closed again, and continued to jump and change its form.

Then.

The screen began to play the highlights of the previous event.

The new game trailer just now seemed like a dream.

But the players who were discussing enthusiastically around him reminded him that this was not a dream.

"Yes, the toilet!"

The urge to urinate that he had been holding back resurfaced.

Kou Hong reacted and hurried to the toilet.

Linmu Studio was still a human being. In order to calm the players down and give them time to go to the toilet,

they did not start the next game directly.

So Kou Hong had time to go to the toilet.

But.

Kou Hong came to the toilet door and was speechless when he saw the scene of the men's toilet being photographed into a long dragon...

Just now... How many people were holding their urine!

"Fuck! This time the tickets are super worth it!!! I said that as long as Lin Yao appears, there will be surprises!"

"Worth it! It's really worth it! The new work was actually announced on the spot... I really didn't expect it, this is great!"

"Tomorrow is the fan meeting... Go back and go to bed early tonight! I don't know what story the new work will tell, but the trailer is more exciting than the previous one!"

"I'm going to buy it anyway!"

Kou Hong was at the end of the line, and the young people in front of him were talking excitedly.

And he focused his attention and listened carefully.

In front of him, someone was also discussing this matter.

"Price's imprisonment should mean that the plot is consistent."

"Snowmobile racing, yacht racing in the creek, and traditional car racing and shooting! This game seems to have more gameplay! Fuck! I really want to play it!"

"It's so cool! I felt that the opening ceremony was a great deal! I can even see new games! The combination is so good!"

"It's really great! I can come to the e-sports festival this time!"

"Do you think there will be new games next?"

"Absolutely! And there may be more than new games, there will be more exciting things. Don't forget that there are a lot of things in the box!"

"Don't say it, don't say it! If you say it again, I won't have to queue up!"

"..."

The line formed into a long dragon.

Countless conversations came.

Mandarin, English, and even French.

It's outrageous!

It seems.

Indeed, many people were just holding back...

Kou Hong listened carefully for a while, and then looked at the excited players in front of him, not knowing whether they were holding back or excited, and took a breath.

As an outsider.

At this moment, he clearly felt how influential the new game trailer played by Linmu Studio was.

Linmu Studio...

Linmu Studio, this is really outrageous!

...

After queuing up for the toilet,

Kou Hong came back.

Not long after he sat down,

the opening match of the "Hero" project began.

After the commentator came on stage, he started by talking about the trailer of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

He thanked Linmu Studio for the wonderful trailer that had just been presented.

This move easily aroused the emotions of the players.

The players cheered directly.

While welcoming the game,

they were looking forward to what surprises Linmu Studio would bring next.

Kou Hong sat down, then looked around the audience and took a deep breath.

He didn't dare to think about it.

If Linmu Studio came up with another surprise later,

how excited the players would be...

At the same time,

just as the players were excited, Kou Hong began to observe this e-sports festival from an outsider's perspective.

North America.

Gibbs Company.

Frank still maintained the same action as at the beginning.

He sat on the chair, leaning forward, and the smile on his face froze.

Staying in the moment of sudden ecstasy...

numb...

Finally, after the "Hero" event started.

Frank reacted, he stretched out his hand, covered his face with force, and then rubbed it.

Put away the frozen smile.

Make yourself expressionless.

He looked calm and picked up the coffee cup on his lap and put it back on the table.

Then he came to the bar where the decanter was placed.

Pulled out the cork.

Poured himself a full glass of brandy.

Hold the cup. Raise

your head.

Drink it down in one gulp.

Then.

He seemed to feel unsatisfied.

Keeping his expressionless state, he picked up the decanter again and poured another half cup into the cup.

But this time, his hand holding the decanter was shaking slightly, showing that his heart was not as calm as his expression at the moment.

Tons, tonnes...

The bitter wine went into his throat.

A slight dizziness came over him.

After drinking a glass and a half of brandy, he was directly in a state of tipsiness.

He put the cup down with force.

Then he held the edge of the bar, looking at the decanter, with only one thought in his mind.

What to do?

Astonishment, shock, anger, disbelief... these emotions had already gone through him when he was in a daze just now.

Now he wanted to think of a solution.

He was indeed panicking...

As for the reason for his panic, it was not the release of "Call of Duty".

At least not now.

What he was most panicking about now was the "Call of Duty" new work meeting held by Linmu Studio tonight, Eastern Time.

At this time,

there were still thirteen hours left before the "Call of Duty" new work meeting.

And now, there were still twelve hours left before the Global Game Awards.

According to the time calculation,

it just so happened that

when the new game was broadcast at the Global Game Awards, the "Call of Duty" new work meeting would kick off...

And as someone who watched the opening ceremony of the Linmu E-sports Festival and the announcement of the new "Call of Duty",

Frank was very sure that

if he were a player,

he would definitely choose to watch the "Call of Duty" new work meeting!

So... what to do? What to do? What to do?

Now Frank's mind was full of this question.

With only a dozen hours left, he couldn't even think of a coping strategy.

Frank was really panicking.

Linmu Studio was well prepared.

Lin Yao was just staring at the Global Game Awards.

And now he... felt like a clown.

"... There must be a way!"

Frank, with his vision beginning to blur, suddenly gritted his teeth, picked up the decanter again, and filled a glass of wine for himself.

But he just drank too quickly. He

couldn't hold his liquor.

As soon as he picked up the glass, most of the wine in the glass was shaken off by his trembling hands and spilled all over the floor.

He kept holding the glass and took a deep breath. After a while, he barely steadied his hand holding the glass and his panicked heart, raised his head, and prepared to drink the wine.

"Boss! "Call of Duty"--"

But at this moment.

The door of the office was suddenly pushed open roughly.

A subordinate rushed in.

He was obviously watching the live broadcast of the e-sports festival, and after watching the news about "Call of Duty", he wanted to tell his boss about it as soon as possible.

But.

He just uttered the word "Call of Duty" and before he could continue.

He saw the coffee stains on Frank's pants and the brandy on the floor.

He was silent.

He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.

Frank saw his subordinate, then followed his gaze and looked down. He

was also silent.

He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.

At this moment.

He felt that he was really a clown...

The previous date was wrong and has been changed... By the way, I will post it first and change it later. I will check this chapter later. I don't know if I have a cold, I always feel like vomiting...

(End of this chapter)
