Chapter 541 Where are the new games! ?
Lin Yao was busy shooting the short film "Box" that connected the entire e-sports festival this year.
As the end of the year approached.
The date of the Global Game Awards was also revealed.
The organizer personally announced the date of this year's awards ceremony through the official account.
December 5th!
Later than in previous years.
But there are only two months left.
This highly anticipated gaming event at the end of the year is coming!
Although, the organizer of the Global Game Awards has not yet announced the list of shortlisted games for each award.
It will have to wait until early November.
Because it is necessary to ensure that the judges have enough time to play the new games that will be released during this period.
But some domestic players.
Now they have begun to discuss.
Discussing what game Linmu Studio will win this year, and... what film they will play on the spot this year.
The producer of the Global Game Awards, March Connor, hesitated for a long time.
In the end, he did not immediately announce the news that Linmu Studio would not participate in the film broadcasting session.
Because he still felt it was inappropriate.
Linmu Studio's new game can be said to be highly anticipated.
Directly announcing that there will be no new game screening at the awards ceremony.
Isn't this just making things uncomfortable for yourself?
He really doesn't want to.
At present, he is still wrangling with the advisory committee headed by Gibber.
So the players who are kept in the dark.
Especially domestic players, they are really looking forward to the awards ceremony.
Because after the end of the Linmu Carnival and the public beta of the last game "World of Warcraft" released at the carnival, Linmu Studio
has temporarily fallen silent.
Although a rich list was released in the middle, which made Linmu Studio and Lin Yao stand out.
But this has nothing to do with the game.
Now the pattern of Linmu Studio releasing new games every year has long been figured out by players.
It is basically divided into the first half and the second half.
In the first half, the release dates are mainly concentrated from March to October. In the second half, the release dates
are mainly concentrated from November to February of the following year.
Every year, the number of games and the different focuses of Linmu Studio in that year will more or less affect the release date of the game.
For example, the holding of this year's Linmu Carnival
has delayed the release date of Linmu Studio's games in the first half of the year.
However, generally speaking.
Linmu Studio still follows this model.
Now all the games of Linmu Studio in the first half of the year have been released.
More and more players have reached the top of "World of Warcraft".
For players who prefer single-player games with a buyout system, it has been a long time since Linmu Studio's last single-player game "Monster Hunter".
Now, the end of the year is coming!
Linmu Studio's game lineup for the second half of the year is expected to come soon!
Players have experienced the baptism of the end of last year and the baptism of Linmu Carnival in the first half of the year.
It's hard not to look forward to it!
"I bet fifty cents that the best game of this year's Global Game Awards will definitely be Linmu Studio's Call of Duty."
"Not necessarily! What if Linmu Studio releases an even more exciting game before the deadline! [Funny]" "
Probably not, because Linmu Studio has not made any moves at the moment. There is a high probability that they will use the same tactics as before, with hints in the early stages, and then play trailers at the awards ceremony, followed by large-scale promotion... just like last year, directly starting the fight between the dragon and the tiger at the awards ceremony!" "
Are you sure it's a fight between the dragon and the tiger? Not Linmu Studio unilaterally beating its peers?"
"Hahaha, it's not that exaggerated. Let's see when Linmu Studio promotes the game... But because of the Linmu Carnival, the time is indeed tight this year, and Lin Yao might even give up the Black Friday schedule."
"That's good, they will have more time to polish the game... I just happen to have more time to play during the Chinese New Year."
"Don't talk about these nonsense, I just want to know what trailer Linmu Studio will play on site this year! The sequel to Call of Duty? The sequel to Dark Souls?"
"I don't know! Although it's hinted! But if the trailer of Linmu Studio is not released, you will never know what surprises there will be!"
"I am getting more and more excited by what you say! There are still two months left! I am so excited to watch it now, and after watching the trailer, I have to wait for the release... By then, I will shout that I will die if I can't play XXX, and each of you will have a responsibility!"
"Don't worry, the person above, do you know what the most conscientious thing about Linmu Studio is? That is, they will not just make empty promises, but also bake them... If there are empty promises, there must be empty promises to eat!"
"Come to the award ceremony soon! When Linmu Studio wins the award, the new game will be announced, plus the e-sports festival... triple happiness!"
"..."
The players are quite enthusiastic.
But not many people are discussing it.
After all, it's still early to December.
For the players, these two months are still quite long.
But for the organizers of the event... it's another matter.
Time is very tight.
In fact.
Whether it is the Global Game Awards or the e-sports festival of Linmu Studio.
Normally, the preparation period should have come to an end.
Everything should be ready.
But because of Linmu Studio... both events have to be re-planned.
Time has become a little tight.
Especially for Linmu Studio's e-sports festival.
This is not an award ceremony where only industry insiders participate.
There were tens of thousands of spectators at the opening ceremony of the e-sports festival...
not to mention the audience watching the live broadcast.
A slight change can be said to affect the whole body.
This is not a joke.
Fortunately, Lin Yao only made changes on the show, so
the time is barely enough.
As for Black Friday...
the players were not wrong.
This year, Linmu Studio's hardware and games will hold promotional activities as usual.
But the new game will not be released during Black Friday.
As for why .
On the one hand, the holding of the Linmu Carnival in the first half of the year delayed the release time of Linmu Studio's games in the first half of the year for a long time compared with previous years.
In addition, the success of the Linmu Carnival made Lin Yao see the feasibility of this game promotion model.
Since she decided to follow the example of the carnival and debut the new game at the e-sports festival, making it another centralized promotion channel,
it was impossible to release such a highly anticipated game before the e-sports festival.
In addition, all the core members of Linmu Studio were now pulled by Lin Yao to shoot short films... So next, some time needs to be set aside for them to polish the games to be released.
Finally, with the launch of the mobile phone project, Linmu Studio has more business, and it is indeed necessary to adjust and set aside some time for the staff to recuperate, otherwise it will be too tiring... There are also some pie-in-the-sky projects that also need time to outline.
So after comprehensive consideration,
Lin Yao gave up the Black Friday schedule
and focused on around Christmas.
And so far, her plan is going well.
Although the actors of the short film "Box" are all employees of Linmu Studio, most of them will inevitably feel uncomfortable in front of the camera.
But most of these people have also appeared at the Linmu Carnival. As long as they are not asked to pay special attention to the camera and asked to work... they can still overcome the discomfort.
After all, "The Box" doesn't require them to act out anything. It's more like a documentary. They just need to show the real state of their daily work.
After finding a way,
the shooting of the entire short film became smooth.
Even though there was a National Day in between,
the progress was quite fast.
"...Is it really okay to just put the phone in there without any hesitation?"
Lin Mu Studio, Hardware Department.
Bao Liangzhe held the phone and looked at Lin Yao with a little worry. He couldn't help asking, "This directly makes the form of our phone public. Is it really okay? Do we still have to announce the phone at the e-sports festival?"
"No."
Lin Yao held the storyboard in her hand, shook her head, and explained: "Although you look like you put the phone in the box carelessly, the editing can cut out part of the picture, and you can use the Spring and Autumn technique to prevent the phone from being exposed, at most revealing a corner.
It's just a reference, you understand? Just like we made a game, we can't put a computer in it... Games and the like are relatively easy to deal with, but mobile phones are really more troublesome, so I adopted this solution, don't worry." "
... Got it."
Bao Liangzhe was slightly startled, and then nodded gently.
"Then let's start again."
Lin Yao gestured, and then after starting, she temporarily threw the matter to the executive director.
She has perfected the line draft storyboard during this period of time and accurately drew the picture she wanted.
The executive director can handle it completely.
As for herself... Since she knew that she was a DEBUFF, she didn't make trouble.
During the filming, she would find a seat and then do other things.
For example, now
she is looking at the layout of the opening ceremony of the e-sports festival and designing the performance effect after the short film "Box" is played.
The popularity of the e-sports festival is very high now.
Linmu E-sports had proposed to hold the e-sports festival overseas a long time ago, but Lin Yao temporarily suppressed the proposal for the sake of Linmu Financial Holdings and some invisible profits.
And Pengcheng reciprocated and became more and more concerned about the e-sports festival.
Since last year,
the venue of the e-sports festival has been moved to Pengcheng Sports Center.
In the largest stadium in Pengcheng!
This stadium is built with a single-layer space folding surface grid structure. It can accommodate up to 60,000 people. There are tens of thousands of seats in the three areas of low, medium and high.
To be honest.
With such a venue and so many spectators, it is really difficult to come up with a performance that can shock everyone.
"...I have no idea. Do I have to go to the scene?"
Lin Yao looked at the layout and was a little distressed.
She had no idea at all...
at this moment.
She felt like a complex combination of a frustrated Party B and an unreasonable Party A.
She thought about keeping it simple.
On the other hand, she was unwilling to give up and wanted a satisfactory solution.
Just...
"Fence advertising screen?"
Lin Yao sat in the office chair, leaning against the back of the chair, holding up the layout diagram.
Suddenly she noticed a word.
The complaints stopped abruptly.
She was slightly startled, then suddenly straightened up, thinking of a very famous event in her previous life, and instantly began brainstorming.
Then, she came back to her senses, carefully looked at the range of the fence advertising screen, and then drew a rough schematic direction diagram on paper, and then looked at the setting of the main stage, and calculated the time.
Her eyes suddenly lit up.
Lin Yao suddenly had a picture in her mind.
Fireworks!
Just like fireworks blooming and falling!
Thinking of this picture.
Without any hesitation, she immediately stood up, turned over a stack of new drawing paper from the table, and began to draw a simple rendering.
The whole person was immersed in it.
Until.
"Cut."
A voice came.
Lin Yao raised her head.
Bao Liangzhe's part was also finished.
The executive director who looked a little fat raised his hand and waved at Lin Yao.
Lin Yao stood up and returned to the monitor.
Then he reviewed the footage.
"How is it?" The executive director asked immediately after Lin Yao raised his head again.
"Very good."
Lin Yao smiled at him, looking very satisfied: "Then the next is the footage of the new venue Linmu E-sports... But it's late today, have a good rest, and we'll see you tomorrow."
"No problem."
The executive director was relieved to hear that.
He smiled, responded, and flipped through the outrageously detailed storyboard in his hand, and then suddenly asked: "By the way, Mr. Lin, let me ask... Are these scenes all imagined by you?"
He raised the storyboard in his hand and raised it gently.
Lin Yao responded casually: "Yes, what's wrong?"
"Then you are really talented... Whether it is the ability of image thinking or the ability to structure a story, you are the most powerful non-specialist I have ever seen! In fact, I have seen a lot of game CGs from Linmu Studio recently, which are really excellent, very excellent. No wonder you can lead the company to rise in such a short time."
The executive director heard the exact reply and sighed: "Maybe you can try filming and be the leading actor yourself... It will definitely be very popular!"
"Uh..."
Lin Yao didn't expect the other party to say such a thing, and was slightly stunned: "Maybe I just saw a lot of things... You flatter me, and I have no interest in acting... Well, my own company's short film doesn't count."
"This..."
The executive director smiled and shook his head, as if he wanted to say something.
"In addition."
But Lin Yao interrupted him and suddenly laughed: "How do you know... Our company hasn't tried movies?"
After that.
Leaving this sentence.
Lin Yao waved at him and left.
She wanted to discuss the idea she just thought of with Nie Hui.
When the executive director named Kou Hong heard Lin Yao's words, he looked at Lin Yao's back and froze in place.
After a long time,
he came back to his senses. He couldn't help scratching his head, looking around and smiling.
The filming during these days... made him have a deep impression of Linmu Studio and its boss.
It was the first time he had seen such a dynamic company and such a talented helmsman.
Even though he didn't play games, he couldn't help wanting to know about such a company.
The more he knew, the more frightened he became.
This company was founded too recently, and it rose too fast.
In less than a few years,
the young and beautiful girl just now has walked the path that many veteran entrepreneurs have walked for most of their lives.
No, many veteran entrepreneurs are not as good as the young and beautiful girl just now.
After all, she is so young, and she has become one of the richest people in the country, and there are only 32 people who can surpass her.
This does not take into account the possibility that Linmu Studio is underestimated...
When I just found out about this,
to be honest,
Kou Hong was stunned, and even felt that the value of Linmu Studio was not underestimated, but overestimated.
After all, this is too outrageous.
But during this period of time, he stayed in Linmu Studio to shoot, got to know the company in depth, and got along with Lin Yao.
He felt that this company might really be underestimated... who knows.
...
On the other hand.
Lin Yao didn't care about Kou Hong's thoughts.
She returned to her office and immediately found Nie Hui, who had been at the headquarters most of the time.
Then, she told him her idea.
"Fireworks? Falling and blooming?"
But Nie Hui was a little confused after listening.
"At the end of the short film, after the box is opened, the 'results' will fly out, right?"
Lin Yao pointed to the layout and explained, "According to the plan, the first 'result' to appear is the e-sports festival, but after the short film, the host will come out to announce the opening of the e-sports festival. Don't you think it's a bit monotonous?
So my idea is to use the existing fence advertising screen in the venue to make the first 'result' like a meteor, starting from the main screen, flying around the entire venue, and finally landing on the main stage... like fireworks! For this, we have to make a stage special effect, and the final effect will be like this."
After Lin Yao finished speaking, she pushed the rendering she drew in front of Nie Hui.
"..."
Nie Hui lowered his head and looked at the rendering, and at the same time carefully read the notes written by Lin Yao next to it.
Then a few minutes later, he looked up and said with a little shock: "Very interesting."
Lin Yao asked: "So are there any technical problems? Can you coordinate?"
"I need time to confirm, but there is probably no problem."
Although Nie Hui did not guarantee it, he seemed very confident: "Technology is not the most worrying thing. The main thing is the final stage effect. Will it be in time?"
"I will coordinate with Qi Jianhua on this point. You should confirm whether there are any technical problems first."
"Okay."
Nie Hui was relieved when he heard Lin Yao say this.
Then he greeted Lin Yao without delay, and turned around and left.
Lin Yao watched Nie Hui leave, then took back the renderings she had drawn, picked up the pen again, and considered the order of the effects.
It took more than half an hour.
After sorting out her thoughts.
Lin Yao put down the pen again, leaned back, leaned on the back of the chair, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Although reason told her...she should go to Qi Jianhua at this time.
By the way, she also needed to confirm the status of the game.
After all, no matter how many fancy things are added, they are just icing on the cake. In the end, what makes players pay is the quality of the game.
But Lin Yao doesn't want to move for the time being.
Because she is so tired... She
has been sitting for a whole day, so tired.
She looked up at the ceiling and suddenly thought of something. She
reached under the office chair and turned the handle to adjust the angle of the chair back.
Dong.
With a slight sound. The back
of the chair fell down suddenly. Lin
Yao leaned back and lay down on the chair. Her full chest bounced slightly...
"Fuck..."
Lin Yao patted her chest and made sure that she would not fall down. Then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the ceiling, raised her hands and stretched.
This is much easier...
Take a break.
Wait a minute, Mu Wanqing will call me to eat.
Then go find Qi Jianhua...
Lin Yao yawned, thinking about it, turned sideways, symbolically resisted sleepiness, slowly closed her eyes, and relaxed.
I hope... the e-sports festival can achieve its goal in the end.
The last thought came to mind.
Then, all thoughts came to an abrupt end.
She fell asleep.
The office returned to peace.
Time passed slowly.
Half an hour later.
Dongdong.
There was a gentle knock on the door.
Then.
Mu Wanqing pushed the door open and walked in, but she didn't see Lin Yao, and was wondering.
She walked a few steps forward.
She saw.
Behind the desk.
The setting sun shone through the window into the office.
It also fell on Lin Yao, who was curled up in a chair, sleeping peacefully.
Her breathing was smooth, and her chest was rising and falling with her breathing. Her delicate and fair face was like goat milk curd, shining like goat milk curd in the setting sun.
Mu Wanqing looked at this picturesque scene and was stunned.
Then she couldn't help but chuckle.
She tiptoed to the side of the chair, then smoothed the dress that wrapped her perky buttocks with both hands, squatted down quietly, and looked at the sleeping Lin Yao.
At the same time.
She couldn't help but stretch out her fingers and gently touch Lin Yao's face.
Very soft...
"I really want to take it home and keep it..."
Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao's sleeping face and smiled gently again.
...
As time passed.
The filming of the short film "The Box"
went more and more smoothly.
And time was passing quickly.
After the National Day,
it would soon be November.
Soon,
the list of shortlisted games for the major awards of the Global Game Awards would be announced.
This time, it was different from the end of September.
That time, only the date of the Global Game Awards was announced.
Not many players discussed it.
But this time, the list of shortlisted games for the awards was to be announced, and more players were paying attention.
Who can win the award?
How many kills can Linmu Studio get?
They are all very hot topics.
And the producer of the Global Game Awards, March Connor, couldn't stand the pressure...
"Announce it now! Linmu Studio will not participate in the screening of the awards ceremony, otherwise I refuse to attend the awards ceremony! And the content of its new games will be announced in advance!"
Frank gave March Connor an ultimatum.
The wording was fierce.
There was no room for maneuver.
March Connor sighed and gave in.
He really had no choice. He
could only emphasize one thing while announcing the shortlist of major game awards this year, that is-this year's Global Game Awards, Linmu Studio will only participate in the competition for the awards, and will not participate in the new game screenings during the period.
His wording was very euphemistic.
But the meaning was very clear, that is... Linmu Studio will not announce new games at the awards ceremony this year.
And as soon as this news came out.
The players who saw it were stunned for a moment...
The first reaction was - "What the hell? Then why watch the award ceremony?"
The second reaction was - "Linmu Studios won't announce the new game at the award ceremony? Then when will it be announced? It's already the end of the year? Where's the new game!?"
Why is it getting later and later...
