Chapter 546 vivid interpretation of
the e-sports festival.
On the viewing screen.
The black and white box freezes into a LOGO.
The cheers of the audience were deafening and did not subside for a long time.
At this time, everyone thought that this was the end.
After all, it was perfect to stop here.
The atmosphere has been completely mobilized.
At this time, as long as the lights are turned on, the host announces the opening of Linmu E-sports.
It will definitely receive another wave of cheers and extremely high evaluations!
Even Frank thought that it would be perfect to end here. He even picked up the coffee, ready to welcome the lights to come on and the host to announce the opening.
But everyone waited for a while.
The lights did not come on.
The only thing that was lit was still the viewing screen.
And the black and white box LOGO on the viewing screen suddenly moved.
It rotated, and its shape kept changing, as if it was going to form someone's face, and it seemed to be decomposed into small parts.
Then.
It changed its shape faster and faster.
Finally, at a node that was almost invisible.
It stopped suddenly.
It was like disintegrating and flying away.
Then.
A still picture appeared on the screen.
The camera slowly moved forward and aimed at a certain building.
Then it focused on an ID card. The words
[PC Product Department, Zhong Xiu] were clearly visible. After seeing the words clearly, the originally still picture suddenly began to flow. Then the sound, the sound of car horns rang out in the venue. It was a lively morning. Zhong Xiu, holding his ID card, slowly walked towards the building. He passed through the gate in the lobby, then pressed the elevator button, took the elevator to his department, sat down, and started working. The camera was ordinary, but very clean. Just like countless ordinary mornings in the past. Then, as Zhong Xiu sat down, the picture changed. Another figure appeared on the camera. This time it was a petite woman standing in front of the elevator. The ID card on her chest read "Zhu Nianqiao, Host Product Department". She walked into the elevator, then pressed a different floor button than Zhong Xiu, and came to the host product department on a higher floor. And the same thing was. He and Zhong Xiu greeted their colleagues on the way, then sat down at their seats and started working. The screen switched again. A new building. Nie Hui, the head of Linmu E-sports, appeared on the screen. He was in the elevator, looking up slightly at the jumping floor numbers. On the scene. In the live broadcast room. All the audience knew where the place in the video was, and they all quieted down. The cheers on the scene also stopped. It became audible. Frank, who was far away in North America, was also stunned when he saw the picture on the screen. ...It's not over yet? And in the video. Outside the building, in front of the elevator, and in the elevator. The pictures at three different time nodes seemed to represent the journey to the company. Then. It was the picture inside the company. But the camera was not aimed at the three people who had just appeared, but at a staff member named Xiang Yongsi. He sat in his seat, leaning forward slightly and staring at the screen. And on the screen, a "Breakout" ornament was displayed. Although it was only a black and white model, any player who played "Breakout" could recognize it. This is a special ornament in this year's "Breakout" event box! The staff member named Xiang Yongsi was carefully adjusting the shape of the accessory. The camera slowly pulled up, and you could see that there was an original drawing of the accessory on his left hand side. Finally, after confirming that there was no problem with the accessory, the staff member named Xiang Yongsi stood up and left his position, and just happened to pass by another staff member. The camera moved accordingly. It turned and began to focus on the staff member who passed by. The staff member, holding a stack of documents under his armpit, walked quickly to a meeting room and closed the door. Then he distributed the documents in his hand to everyone who had been in the meeting room for a long time. On the document, there was an early concept drawing of a new hero. A cyborg assassin. It was an elegant lady, standing upright, but what supported her upright was a pair of sharp leg knives! Seeing this character, the players of "Heroes" reacted instantly. This is a new hero that has just been launched, named Camille. The planners and hero designers, holding the early concept drawings, began to discuss this hero in the meeting room.
After the meeting,
a group of people filed out and just ran into a staff member who was about to knock on the door.
The group greeted the staff member.
Then the staff member nodded and turned to leave.
The camera moved again.
It was aimed at the staff member who was about to knock on the door.
He came to a new department, and then whispered to someone next to him, asking them to go to the conference room first. He sat down again and began to print out the required documents.
The title of the document was "Event Linkage Plan".
He printed the entire document, then went to the printer to get the document, and turned to the conference room.
On the way, he just passed by several staff members from outside the product department, led by Nie Hui, the event director.
They seemed to know each other. They
smiled and greeted each other.
And Nie Hui also smiled.
The camera switched again and aimed at the staff of Linmu E-sports.
They came to the marketing department and began to discuss their plans with Xi Qianyu, the head of the marketing department.
Xi Qianyu, the head of the marketing department, listened, thought for a while, nodded, and the two groups separated again.
Then the camera came to Xi Qianyu again.
The timeline was split into two at this moment.
One side was given to the marketing department, and the other side was given to the Linmu E-sports staff who had left.
Nie Hui led the staff back to Linmu E-sports, and then pulled a whiteboard and wrote the words "Mario Kart Exhibition Match" in front of all the Linmu E-sports staff.
At the headquarters, the entire marketing department began to operate and gave Xi Qianyu the market data she needed.
After reading the data, she revised the entire plan into a book, and then came to Mu Wanqing.
The camera switched again and gave it to Mu Wanqing.
Mu Wanqing read the entire plan, walked out of the administrative department, came to the elevator, and pressed the floor of the host product department.
And the timeline is here.
It is subdivided again.
The staff of the host product department also began to appear in the camera.
Events, activities, gameplay, characters, props, accessories...
planning, discussion, original paintings, modeling, coloring, testing...
the process is flowing.
Linmu Studio is operating.
And countless staff members are the components that make up this machine.
In the short film, they
showed their true side.
With enthusiasm and pure love for games, they promote projects or plans that players know or don't know.
Then.
In the second half of the short film.
The camera is given to the three people who appear at the beginning of the video - Zhong Xiu, Zhu Nianqiao, and Nie Hui.
All projects and plans intersect and gather together.
They are like hubs, hubs that connect those different projects.
The camera switches.
Among the three of them,
one focuses on the preparation of the event.
One focuses on the game affairs of the PC department.
One focuses on the game affairs of the console department.
At this time, more games and projects that are familiar to players appear on the screen.
There are online games, stand-alone games, and hardware like switch.
Planners brainstorm, artists and programmers work hard, and testers are meticulous...
In the second half of the video, the picture begins to speed up, and various montage pictures flash one by one.
Although the audience at the scene didn't know what Linmu Studio was trying to do,
they were fascinated by it.
After all, the vast majority of players present really like this company.
North America.
Frank was holding a cup of coffee, watching the short film on the screen, and smiled softly: "Very smart, knowing to make a short film to increase recognition..."
He said smart, but his face showed an expression of indifference... He shook his head and lowered his head to drink a sip of coffee.
But the next second.
Puff -
looking at the screen again.
Frank directly sprayed out all the coffee in his mouth.
But he didn't care about his embarrassed appearance at all.
He put down the cup suddenly, pounced forward like a vicious dog, and then wiped the screen directly with his sleeve.
Then, stared at the screen motionlessly.
At the same time.
There was a wave of exclamations at the scene.
The first half of the short film is the planning of existing games.
In the second half of the short film, in addition to more games and projects that players are familiar with, there are also many projects that players are not familiar with, or seem familiar...
For example, "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
The name of this project appeared on the screen.
It was because of the brief sight of this picture.
The players instantly lost their composure.
After all, those who can come to the scene are basically old players of Linmu Studio games. Even if they have not played the game, they have heard of it, and they know very well how many players are looking forward to this game.
As for European and American players, such as Hank and David, they jumped up from their chairs.
"Wuhu!!!"
They raised their hands high.
They screamed with other players who were looking forward to the game.
Is it a new game? Does it mean that a new game is being made?
However,
it was just a fleeting picture after all.
So the players calmed down soon.
However,
they didn't calm down for long.
Because the name "Dark Souls Ⅱ" appeared.
This time, it went a step further and even had a short boss picture.
The players looked at the screen and the computer of the tester in the short film.
Looking at the wide scene and the cloudy sky, there was a long flowing silver-white hair, a crown on the head, and a golden breastplate on the screen. The delicate carvings on it inadvertently showed the appearance of the previous boss Gwyn, holding a flashing thunder spear.
I couldn't help it!
This time, more people stood up and stared at the big screen.
This picture was too unexpected!
There are real machine pictures!
What does this mean! ?
This means that the game is playable!
But the excitement and excitement of the players did not affect the rhythm of the short film.
Although the actual machine screen appeared, the screen of "Dark Soul 2" still flashed by.
Then, the game of the console department appeared.
Players saw the uncle Mario that Linmu Studio liked very much, saw more cartoon-style characters, and then saw the zombie-like existence in the biochemical mode of "Breakout".
But this time the zombie looked more terrifying, with a rotten body and one arm completely alienated, turning into an extremely sharp and huge claw.
He also got a new name-Tyrant.
The short film has a fast pace.
More project teams appeared, and some players had no idea what department they were in.
After showing Linmu Studio once.
The camera was aimed at the window.
Outside the window, the sun passed by in a flash.
The sun changed colors until it disappeared.
Dusk was approaching.
Then.
The rhythm of the whole short film suddenly slowed down.
The staff got off work and began to leave one after another.
Before they left, they would pick up the results of their work for the whole day and come to a room.
They would go in and then come out empty-handed.
Fewer and fewer people left.
But Zhong Xiu did not leave. Instead, he stayed and played games with a few friends during the break.
Then he packed up and prepared to leave.
Before he left, he also came to a room.
The camera followed him closely.
Zhong Xiu pushed the door and walked in.
The appearance of the room appeared on the screen.
It was a pure white room, as if made of light.
But the room was not empty.
There was a pillar in the center of the room, with a display stand on it, where a "box" that kept changing its shape was placed.
Connected!
The audience at the scene saw this scene.
They all thought of the last scene of the e-sports festival promotional video... the "box" that Lin Yao put down!
They vaguely realized something.
As Zhong Xiu walked over, the box suddenly stopped changing its shape.
Zhong Xiu successfully opened the box, and then put a model of the Akimbo 1887 shotgun and a model of the iconic two-handed greatsword of Dark Souls into the box.
The audience already understood what Lin Mu Studio meant.
Half of the people were cheering, and half of them were smiling knowingly.
On the screen,
after Zhong Xiu left,
the camera was fixed on the room.
After a while,
the door was pushed open again.
Qi Jianhua appeared on the screen, and he also came to the box and put the zombie model named Tyrant into the box.
Next, it was Zhu Nianqiao, who walked briskly and also put a model of Mario and a model of Tom Nook, the most iconic character in the "Animal Crossing" series, into the box.
Then,
many staff members who players saw for the first time walked into the room and put things into the box.
A young man with the name Kang Yi on his work badge put a ninja model, an adventurer model, and a model of Hearthstone, a famous prop from "World of Warcraft", into the box.
A middle-aged man named Bao Liangzhe, who looked to be in his thirties, with long flowing hair and a ponytail, put a Switch with a special color and a machine that could only be seen in a corner, but it was completely unclear what it was.
A staff member named Li Qi, who had a Mediterranean hairstyle and a bitter face, put a model of an axe into the box, with the words "opening the mountain" engraved on it...
Various staff members walked into the room one by one,
and then put their "work results" into the box...
The players at the scene looked up at the screen, and more people smiled knowingly.
Kou Hong, who participated in the filming of this short film, sat in his seat and looked up at the screen.
After being stunned for a long time, he also laughed.
In fact, at the beginning, he didn't know what the short film was about.
After watching the performance at the opening ceremony, he even thought that this short film should not be played at the opening ceremony.
Because it didn't feel right.
The atmosphere didn't match.
But
now he saw with his own eyes that the staff who appeared in the short film pushed open the door and walked into the room, and then put the "work results" into the box...
He felt that he was wrong.
This is not only appropriate, but even... very romantic.
Yes.
It's romantic.
He thinks many people should have the same feeling as him.
On the viewing screen.
The short film is still playing.
The last person to enter the room.
Is the person in charge of Linmu E-sports.
The leader of this e-sports festival-Nie Hui.
He walked slowly, came to the box, and put something simple.
It was a small trophy.
After he put away his "work results", he looked back at the box before leaving and smiled softly.
Then,
no one came into the room again.
It became quiet.
The camera rotated a circle and then aimed at the display stand in the center of the room.
The picture did not change.
But the audience was not impatient. Instead,
they waited patiently.
Sure enough,
it was quiet for about ten seconds.
Ta-ta-ta -ta--
suddenly.
Footsteps sounded.
Then.
Click--
the door was opened again.
The light footsteps came from far away and became clearer.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer...
Then, a pair of snowy long legs appeared in the camera.
She was wearing a pair of high heels, her calves were tight, her curves were seductive, her delicate white ankles were lifted high, and her white arch and instep complemented each other, forming a sexy and seductive curve.
Just like the promotional video...!!!
"OHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Everyone
in the audience
cheered immediately!
Although they couldn't see her face at all.
Although many people had just walked into the room.
Although there were so many thoughs.
But the players still cheered at the same time.
Because they knew who this person was!
Even though she didn't appear for a second in the short film!
But everyone knew.
Who was the most core person and the biggest hub of Linmu Studio!
The overwhelming cheers.
Resounded throughout the venue!
And on the screen.
The last person who came also stopped at this time, stopped in front of the box that kept changing its shape.
Then.
She suddenly stretched out her hand and raised the camera.
Let it point it at herself.
In the next scene.
Lin Yao's round and moving oval face appeared in the center of the camera.
She smiled brightly at everyone, then stretched out her other hand, touched the box, and gently pushed it up.
Clang -
accompanied by a sound as if the box was opened.
The screen suddenly darkened.
Then.
In the center of the pitch-black screen, a white line suddenly appeared.
It was like a box was opened!
It was like dawn!
Before the audience could react.
The fence advertising screen surrounding the entire stadium.
Everything lit up.
At the same time, the screen on the main stage also lit up.
The big viewing screen.
Two secondary screens.
All the screens lit up! The logo of the Linmu E-sports Festival appeared on it!
The box that kept changing its shape!
It was jumping on the screen.
As if it was about to explode.
Accompanied by dynamic background music.
Then the next moment.
... It opened!
Countless balls of light wrapped in something, like shooting stars, flew out of the box.
They scattered like shooting stars.
Then, the next second, the spotlight on the stage suddenly lit up.
It swept across the entire venue.
On the screen.
Other meteor-like light balls disappeared, and the largest and most conspicuous light ball appeared in the center of the screen.
It was accompanied by the cheers of the players.
Starting from the viewing screen, it flew around the entire stadium fence advertising screen like a real meteor.
Flashing away!
The entire venue.
The screens lit up one by one according to the trajectory of the meteor, and countless audiences looked up at the advertising screens above their heads.
The atmosphere was pushed to the peak.
Finally.
The meteor came to the newly built split screen above the main stage, and then split into four.
It fell suddenly!
The spotlight followed the four-split meteor.
Where they fell, last year's champion team appeared there.
They looked solemn. Holding the trophy, they followed the falling meteor and put the trophy, the highest honor achieved last year, back to its original position.
"Breakout"!
"Heroes"!
"Warcraft"!
"DOTA"!
The championship trophies of the four events returned to their original positions.
Then.
Real fireworks blasted out from the edge of the stage.
Meteors fell to the ground, and the gorgeous scene of fireworks exploding appeared on the screen of the main stage.
The camera was aimed at the main stage.
At the trophies that symbolized the highest honor.
At the host.
The host, who had never missed the e-sports festival, turned his back to the gorgeous scene, picked up the microphone, and shouted in his iconic voice.
He said the first sentence since the opening of the e-sports festival!
"Welcome to————"
"Linmu E-sports Festival!!!!"
"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!"
In the audience seats.
Countless audiences stood up immediately, and some players even took off their clothes and waved them vigorously.
They gave the loudest cheers of the night!
And on the live broadcast website.
Countless players followed the carnival!
It's back!
The feeling of watching the "Breakout" challenge for the first time is back!
So excited!!!
...
At the same time.
In North America.
Frank looked at the brilliant performance and the gorgeous pictures, watched the trophy being returned at the end, and heard the host announce the opening and say "Welcome to the Linmu E-sports Festival". He
also showed a shocked expression.
He also watched the whole process, and was indeed a little shocked at the end...
But what he cared about most was the short film just now.
He was not a fool.
Although he had never thought that the Linmu E-sports Festival had anything to do with the new game before.
But.
After watching the short film.
After watching the opening performance of the e-sports festival.
He found that... Linmu Studio really made a connection between the two.
In the end, the "box" was opened, which foreshadowed the opening of the e-sports festival!
But the "achievements" put in the "box" are not just the e-sports festival!!!
He suddenly thought of a possibility...
No way?
No way!!!
Frank numbly picked up the coffee and took a big sip.
Although it was early in the morning.
But he already missed alcohol a little.
He glanced at the decanter not far away, was silent for a moment, and suddenly shook his head vigorously, barely calming down.
No way!
But... he said he wouldn't, but after watching the opening ceremony, he had no intention of turning off the live broadcast.
Instead, he continued to stare at the screen...
At the same time,
at the scene,
the audience was already very excited. They
cheered almost every time the host said a word.
And the organizer, Linmu Studio, obviously wanted all the players not to have a day off in Kiel tonight.
The host had no intention of
making a long speech. After a simple opening speech, he announced the opening match of the "Breakout" project tonight. Last year's champion team FEIREN faced off against the European and American powerhouse Ninjas in Pyjamas! Just after the opening ceremony, it was the confrontation between domestic and overseas teams. When the host introduced the players, if it weren't for the venue restrictions, the players would have danced on the spot. And on the stage.
As the host finished speaking,
the players of the two teams came on stage one by one, welcoming the cheers and applause that belonged to them.
Lu Tai of the FEIREN team stood on the stage. After several years of training, he rarely felt nervous.
But only... the most important official event stage of the Linmu E-sports Festival.
Listening to the deafening shouts of "FEIREN!" by tens of thousands of people,
Lu Tai clenched his fists lightly and murmured, "It has to be the E-sports Festival... Compared with this, the championship is simply a small witch compared to a big witch... But it's normal to think about it, after all, the gold content is also a small witch compared to a big witch."
After that,
he turned his head to look at the trophy that had just been returned behind him, revealing a firm look.
And the moment he turned his head back,
he found that the players of Ninjas in Pyjamas on the opposite side were also looking at the trophy.
Lu Tai looked at them. Then they smiled at each other.
He knew what the other party was thinking.
It was the same as his.
Opening ceremony!
The atmosphere reached its peak!
In front of so many people!
Can't lose!
Then, want to win the championship! The only champion!
All the teams that came to the scene today had the same idea.
There is nothing to hide.
Let the hands show the truth.
Lu Tai clenched his fist.
Then after the host finished the opening remarks, introduced everyone, and said the words "leave it to the commentary desk",
he walked into the soundproof room.
The first opening match of the Linmu E-sports Festival! It's started!
...
North America.
Frank stared at the live broadcast motionlessly.
The host did not say anything extra.
Opening remarks, introduction of the players, and then the commentary of the commentary desk came on stage.
Then, the game began.
The process was very ordinary.
There was nothing unexpected.
This made him, who was just tense, relieved.
"Ha, it turns out that I think too much... It's impossible to think about it."
Frank looked at the game screen on the screen, leaned back in his chair again, relaxed, and felt a little fortunate.
But he still didn't turn off the live broadcast.
As for why.
He didn't know.
On the screen.
The game between the two teams started.
The game just started.
It's still in the group stage, so they are playing BO1.
Who can get 16 wins in 30 rounds.
Who will be the final winner?
It sounds fast.
But this is a top team with terrifying adjustment ability.
How could they let the other side beat them easily?
The two teams played 30 rounds in the opening match and entered the extra round directly.
The two teams, with the idea that they must not lose, directly contributed a top-notch duel to all players at the beginning.
This made the commentators and the audience even more excited!
In the extra round, the commentators shouted passionately, and the players cheered passionately.
The only one who didn't feel excited
was Frank.
He didn't like watching the game.
But he insisted on watching.
In the end,
the opening match of the "Breakout" project of the Linmu E-sports Festival
ended with a score of 19-17.
The two teams played a full 36 rounds, and FEIREN finally won.
The two domestic commentators were so happy when they announced the results that their mouths were almost crooked.
Fortunately, they restrained themselves...
They reviewed the game, congratulated FEIEREN, and then comforted the players of Ninjas in Pyjamas, and then said the closing remarks.
"Well, let's take a break. The opening match of the Hero project will begin soon!"
The two commentators looked at the camera.
Then the picture was quickly interrupted.
This is the break time and the preparation time for the team... and the advertising time.
The audience at the scene and the audience watching the live broadcast can use this time to go to the bathroom or calm down.
In fact.
Many players are indeed preparing to go to the bathroom at this time.
After all, there was no urine point in the whole process just now, and now there is finally a gap, they have to seize it.
North America.
Frank saw that the game was over and the commentator announced the break time, and his patience was almost exhausted.
"Sure enough, I thought too much, how is it possible!"
He picked up the coffee with one hand, wanting to finish the last coffee, and held the mouse with the other hand, determined his idea, and moved the cursor to the X on the web page.
But.
Before he could click it.
He paused...
At the same time,
there were players who were about to go to the toilet.
Because the logo of the e-sports festival, the black and white box, appeared on the screen again.
It changed its shape madly, as if it was about to explode, and then opened a crack.
A new ball of light flew out.
It also turned into a meteor and fell on the main stage.
Then.
The first advertisement of the e-sports festival appeared.
But it was not the ordinary advertisement that players knew.
A staff member appeared on the screen.
He sat at his workstation at the headquarters of Linmu Studio, looking at the camera, and said a sentence at
the beginning. The players who wanted to go to the toilet held back their urination.
"Hi, everyone... I am the person in charge of the "Call of Duty" project, Li Xiyao."
"..."
This sentence instantly made the audience silent.
At the same time, it also made Frank's hand holding the cup shake violently.
Bang -
the cup of coffee fell.
The cooled coffee spilled all over Frank's crotch.
His lips turned pale and trembled slightly. He looked at the screen and then at his wet crotch.
Although he didn't mean that subjectively.
But at this moment, he vividly demonstrated what it means to be scared to death...
