Chapter 213 Award Ceremony Win an exclusive award!
"Xiao Xuan!" As soon as Ye Xuan arrived at work today and finished clocking in, he heard Sister Lin's voice, "You've been nominated!"
"What?" He didn't react and stared blankly at the figure who walked into his office as the voice spoke.
Nomination?
What name did you mention?
He suddenly felt his head was empty, as if all the news about himself he had heard from others.
So, did you participate in any selection?
Otherwise, why would there be such a thing as “nomination”?
Sister Lin certainly didn’t ignore the bewilderment of the real NPC. She clapped her hands and said, “Xiao Xuan! You’ve been nominated for the most famous and prestigious award in the gaming industry!”
Although she didn't think the other party would know the significance of the award after she told them about it, she was still quite excited.
Xiaoxuan doesn’t understand the importance of this award, but she does!
This is the lifelong pursuit of many gamers!
Besides, Xiaoxuan is not only nominated, but more importantly...
Sister Lin stared at the other person without blinking: "This award is the brand new 'Best Live-Action NPC Award', it's tailor-made for you!"
Previously, because holographic games and real-life NPCs have not been favored by the industry, related awards have been vacant.
But after Ye Xing joined the company, there was an earth-shattering and exaggerated change.
Nowadays, holographic games have become a popular investment option, with a lot of funds pouring in.
Real NPCs have also become the update point for many holographic and non-holographic games.
As long as there is profit to be made, more people will come to take part in it.
This hot spot, of course, cannot be missed by the grand prize.
Even though it seems like just a nomination, if you think about it, you will know that no one is more worthy of this award than the person in front of you.
After all, the title of "No. 1 in the industry" is not something he proclaimed himself, nor is it that You Meng deliberately praised him, but rather his strength and popularity are obvious to all in the industry.
The real-life NPC from Shazhou Company was also nominated, but anyone could see that it was just a runner-up.
This time, Shazhou will definitely win many awards like in previous years, but everyone in the industry knows that they will not win this one.
It cannot be said to be a pre-determined decision, but it is already very certain who the winner will be.
There are actually many such unsurprising awards in the gaming industry. After all, judging from the number of players and the level of discussion, even a layman can tell something.
So as soon as the nomination came out, people who knew the situation congratulated You Meng.
Isn’t it obvious who will win?
At the same time, Ye Xuan also received great attention from his colleagues, and more and more people came to him for autographs.
Now, my colleagues are no longer joking about this action like they did at the beginning, but they sincerely think it is worth collecting.
"Wow, that's great. Once you win this award, how much value will these signatures have in value?" The interviewer looked at the name on the signature board he had specially prepared and the small spark that he had drawn at strong request, and nodded with satisfaction.
Well, this cartoon Mars that Kobayashi asked someone to design is pretty good, but it’s a bit of a pity to just use it as a hairpin.
How about directly binding it with Ye Xing's image?
The interviewer considered the business value of doing so and felt that it was feasible.
But after all, this was a manuscript commissioned by Xiaolin herself, and it was not paid for by the company, so she still had to get her consent.
Moreover, he knew that the other party did not like his style of acting on impulse. If he wanted the other party to agree, he had to first come up with a plan that would satisfy the other party.
Well, this is a bit troublesome. I just came up with this idea on the spur of the moment. If I don’t have to do more work for it, I might as well use this time to play some games.
On the night of the awards ceremony, Ye Xuan was taken by Sister Lin to a special stylist to dress her up.
Looking in the mirror, he felt that this outfit was a bit exaggerated.
He is handsome, but he feels a bit too ostentatious.
He looks like he's aiming for the award, and doesn't seem humble enough.
Although he himself is not a very low-key person, he still does not want to steal too much limelight in such an important occasion.
With Sister Lin's "popular science", he learned that the entire award ceremony tonight would be broadcast live. Not only would people who love games watch it on time, but fans of some gamers were also well prepared.
"The comments in the live broadcast room will probably be dominated by Mr. Leng's fans," Sister Lin said, looking at her company's most promising real-life NPC and praising him. "But in my opinion, Xiao Xuan, you are not much worse than him today!"
This was her sincere compliment. After all, Shazhou Leng was not only legendary in the industry in terms of ability, but also had top-notch looks.
Ye Xuan flicked the hairpin on his bangs. He didn't understand why he had this hairstyle again.
It doesn’t match the outfit this time. Will this makeup really not be ridiculed?
After he had more fans, he also learned some related "common sense".
In today's live broadcast room, there should be quite a few people who will find fault with him. He is not only participating in his own name, but also representing Youmeng.
If something is said, it will have an impact on the company and the game.
He couldn't help but be cautious and even reviewed his acceptance speech several times.
After Sister Lin told him the news of his nomination, she asked him to write this acceptance speech, as if he was sure to win the award.
Yes, he is currently the absolute number one real-life NPC. If he doesn’t win the award, who will?
After reviewing it thoroughly, he couldn't sit still anymore.
Why hasn't it been his turn to enter yet?
I feel like I'm about to walk the red carpet, so nervous.
I heard that I had to sign autographs after the tour. I was nervous.
What Sister Lin said seemed to be correct. He really had the illusion that he had become an artist.
Is the current gaming industry also moving closer to the entertainment industry?
He shook his head, trying to get rid of these inappropriate questions.
Instead of spending this time thinking about how to respond to interviews with reporters after the event.
Once you win an award of this level, interviews are inevitable.
Even though he had given many interviews before, he still had no experience with major awards.
"Xiao Xuan, it's your turn soon!" Sister Lin reminded the person who was lost in thought.
Ye Xuan perked up, straightened his clothes, and walked over there with a slightly unnatural smile.
There was no rehearsal, and he wasn't even told the specific process in advance. Did they want him to improvise on the spot?
He didn't understand the purpose of doing this, but in fact, some game developers thought this was also an interesting part.
Just like in many games, there is a setting where the player is killed on first sight, which almost certainly means death.
Some games are basically impossible to pass without memorizing the game plan, but if you want to memorize the game plan without looking at the guide, you have to try it yourself first.
They brought this routine into real life, hoping to record an interesting scene.
Well, there are still some small "traps" that have not been fully demonstrated.
The team that assisted with the red carpet event was also nominated for an award.
Unfortunately, the award they were nominated for was Best Horror Game.
Therefore, there were screams all the time during this red carpet walk.
Those who know clearly know that this is the red carpet leading to the award ceremony, while those who don’t know might think it is a bloody path extending from a haunted house.
The others didn't know, but they were all pretty frightened.
"There's a ghost! Aaaaaaaah!" He looked at the staff member who suddenly jumped out from the side. The other person was wearing a ghost mask and tilted his head towards him, as if his head was about to fall onto the red carpet in the next second.
His reaction was naturally recorded by the live camera.
The atmosphere in the barrage area was much more relaxed and cheerful.
"Hahahahaha who is this guy? So timid and hilarious!"
"I know the answer to this question! It's the real-life NPC from Dream Travel! The most famous real-life NPC!"
"Oh, I've heard of him, but I still don't recognize his face."
"The hairpin is pretty cute."
"It looks like he's been frightened. Is he that frightened?"
"I was probably too nervous. I thought it was a formal red carpet, but I didn't expect it to be so informal!"
Ye Xuan was indeed confused by the organizer's unconventional approach. When he came to his senses, the masked staff had already left.
No, wouldn't this just leave him here in embarrassment?
There was no choice but to go on.
He didn't know what was waiting for him behind.
Can someone lead this award?
He didn't want to go on.
No matter how you think about it, you still have to walk the path on your own.
Fortunately, nothing went wrong until he reached the finish line.
When he was signing his name halfway, he somehow drew the pattern of a Martian hairpin next to it.
Blame the interviewer!
He looked at his own painting and subconsciously covered the hairpin on his bangs. In fact, he was trying to cover up his guilt.
Those who had not noticed the pattern on the hairpin before, can now see it clearly.
The barrage section also started discussing this.
"The hairpin is cute."
"I just said it! I have good eyesight and good taste!"
"But it's even cuter to draw little sparks when signing your autograph! Doesn't anyone else think so?"
"I just think he's so funny hahahahahahaha——"
"He's a real-life NPC in that game? I want to play it too!"
"Youmeng! The game of the same name produced by Youmeng! It's also their signature game! It's definitely worth it to get into it!"
The process of receiving the award was very smooth, and Ye Xing was undoubtedly the winner of the "Best Live-Action NPC Award".
When he was reciting his acceptance speech impromptu, he did not stutter at all and recited it very smoothly.
Sister Lin clapped so hard in the audience that her palms turned red.
Awesome, Xiaoxuan!
The barrage area has also seen a dramatic increase in content.
"The performance of the real NPC guy today was beyond my expectation! He may not have been as good at reciting lines on stage as I was when reciting lines in the game before!"
"It's so funny. I'm not afraid of big occasions, but I'm afraid of work."
"It's great to be able to do this! The acceptance speech was also very heartfelt!"
After the award ceremony, Ye Xuan was indeed surrounded by a group of reporters.
Fortunately, the questions asked were relatively routine, and he had been reminded by the interviewers before coming, so he would not make any mistakes.
After answering, I can go home from get off work, right?
Being able to win the award really exceeded his expectations when he entered the industry.
Maybe I was born to be a real-life NPC?
It was really a coincidence that I chose the right path!
