There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

"Has the date for this year's Global Game Awards been confirmed?"

Gibb Co.

Frank thought for a while, then put aside the matter of the sequel to "Dark Soul" for the time being, and turned to look at the secretary.

"...I'm sure, December 5th." The secretary paused, thought about it, and then gave a reply.

"Will Lin Yao participate?" Frank asked again.

"I don't know."

The secretary looked embarrassed: "The committee has sent out an invitation, but Linmu Studio hasn't responded yet, and they haven't even said whether they want to broadcast the film live. I heard that the attitude is ambiguous."

"..."

Frank was speechless.

That's what makes Forest Studio so annoying.

The game is fine.

It is always outside the mainstream game circle.

For so many years, Lin Yao has not participated in a global game award in person...

Even the broadcast was sent over last year at the strong request of the producer.

certainly.

The broadcast of Linmu Studio last year... the effect is really good.

Let's not mention "Di Renjie" and "Sherlock Holmes".

Just one "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" directly overwhelmed the pack and became the most anticipated game among the many games at that time.

none of them.

Last year's Global Game Awards had the highest ratings in the past few years.

It can be said that the organizer is happy, and the participating Linmu Studio is also happy.

The only thing that is not happy is that we are in the same company...

Because Linmu Studio is too dazzling.

"Call of Duty" directly overwhelmed "Mobile Force" and "Battlefield Smoke" and couldn't lift their heads.

Subsequent sales have proved one more point-that is, compared with "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare".

The two games of Gilber Company and Dreamland are rubbish...

And this year, as expected.

According to the information disclosed by Forest Studio at the carnival.

There is a high probability that Linmu Studio will launch "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" while the iron is hot.

have to say.

This is for big game companies such as Gilber and Dreamland.

The pressure is really big...

How to compete and how to keep its shooting game competitive during the Christmas period with the strong competitor of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" is an urgent problem that needs to be solved urgently.

No matter what the future of Linmu Studio will be, how it will behave in the new era.

But at least, they are still strong this year.

Frank had to confront them.

But the problem is... Linmu Studio doesn't follow the routine.

At present, it is uncertain whether Lin Yao will attend the award ceremony, and whether their broadcast will be broadcast live is not confirmed.

This gave Frank a headache.

He couldn't even strategize.

"A sequel to Dark Souls, a sequel to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, if there's a new game..."

Frank leaned against the back of the chair, rubbed the center of his brows, and muttered to himself, "It's a bit difficult."

The secretary next to him didn't speak.

The main reason is that there is no decent strategy.

This time, the other party's launch is not a new game, but a sequel to a popular work.

As long as the broadcast is good enough.

Players can cheer and look forward to it.

This is for sure.

Unless the previous work disappears, there is no solution.

"We'll have no chance at all."

Flack sat up and tapped his finger on the table lightly: "At least we can't let "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" be the finale, otherwise, our new game will become irrelevant to many players... just look forward to it The last Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be fine."

He talked to himself.

Then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the secretary: "Help me contact the heads of the three host manufacturers, Peria, Hardcore, and Reflecta... and Hawkins from Dreamland."

"good."

When the secretary heard this, although he was a little puzzled, he still nodded and turned to leave.

And not long.

Frank successfully contacted the heads of several host manufacturers and Hawkins.

He truthfully informed several colleagues of his thoughts.

Then, several people quickly reached an agreement...

...

Although the Global Game Awards is said to be true, the organizer is not a game company.

But if these game companies want to give the global game awards face, then first... they have to give them face.

Therefore, at the beginning of the establishment of the Global Game Awards, it received funding from several major game manufacturers, and also established a special advisory committee.

This committee almost includes most of the big game companies that can be named in the market.

It can be said that this activity is deeply bound with game manufacturers.

And with such a background, it means that this is no longer a simple game event. Although the awards are selected by famous media and producers, the situation of pig's head will still happen.

Moreover, in order to please both manufacturers and players, more and more related awards have been set up.

Although the main awards, the Advisory Board does not interfere.

After all, games are not classified as literary games, and players are not blind.

However, if the Global Game Awards wants to please players, the trend on both sides of the manufacturer is indeed becoming more and more obvious.

To this.

The show's producer, March Connor, knows it all.

But he is also very helpless. If he wants to let those famous game manufacturers and producers participate in the game awards, then he can't really just let them go through the motions, right?

Came with high expectations, and then nothing came of it.

How do you make those big factory executives happy when they come to the scene? Their original intention for the game selection was to sell games!

On the other hand, game editors, players, and producers all have their own favorite games and games that they think are good.

There are only so many awards.

There are also some games that may not be well received, but have high sales...

So everyone has their own mind.

All in all - trouble!

The best way that March Connor can think of is to increase the award settings, so that games from more manufacturers can be shortlisted, and games that more players like can be shortlisted.

Then, relying on diversification, attract as many players as possible to watch, and then use this to persuade major manufacturers to give some heavyweight exclusive content to the Global Game Awards, and then snowball.

It turns out.

He's actually doing pretty well.

He works hard to maintain a delicate balance.

At least the Global Game Awards as a whole is still developing in a good direction.

For example, last year's "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" made its debut at the awards ceremony, which gave the Global Game Awards a big hit.

And this year, the ambitious March Connor is ready.

He made up his mind that this year he must convince Linmu Studio to let them put the debut of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" on the awards ceremony, and once again give the Global Game Awards a layer of gold dust as a "game event".

but……

He had a good idea, but before he could realize it, he was about to die...

"What do you mean!? A game like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" should be placed at the top!? It would be better to make it into a special topic and mix it up at the beginning!?"

March Connor yelled at his assistant: "This is a waste of treasure! Don't they understand!? Put it at the end, preferably after the annual game awards, so as to attract more players to continue watching Don’t they understand!? The most anticipated game plus the unknown! Only then can players keep looking forward to it! And let’s not tell Linmu Studio... do they think the other party is an idiot!?”

He is very angry.

Because the advisory committee directly asked him to broadcast the film of Linmu Studio before the award ceremony...

This is a very stupid idea!

"... March."

The assistant sighed after hearing the words: "I understand what you said, and they understand it too. But knowing it doesn't mean they want such a result... Linmu Studio is too sharp, and too many players are looking forward to "Mission" Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is here, and there is still a chance to release it early. But if it is pressed to the end, it is estimated that players will put all their expectations on "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

This way the ratings will look good.

But what do you make other game makers think? They are willing to play the video at the award ceremony because the scene of the award ceremony has a lot of exposure and many players pay attention to it. If the players' attention is all attracted by one game...you understand. "

"If you insist on making "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" the finale, it is estimated that these manufacturers will not give exclusive content, and the awards ceremony will only broadcast games from Linmu Studio..."

March Connor: "..."

Much Connor understands.

But he was panting heavily.

Still very upset.

Because this is the threat of Chiguoguo!

Or several joint threats!

"Don't they know it's shameful to do this? Just because of a Call of Duty? Are they that scared?"

After panting for a while.

March Connor finally spoke.

"More than one game. Last year, Linmu Studio released three games at once..."

The assistant replied silently: "And the three games are all... overwhelming their peers, you understand? How big is the threat of this crazy bombardment? Why did they ask to make the game of Linmu Studio into a special topic at the beginning and mix it up to fool them?" ?Is it because of fear..."

March Connor's tone became even more aggressive: "Then are they fools when they think of Linmu Workshop? They can't see that they are being targeted? Will they give face next year?"

"That depends on your choice, Boss."

The assistant patted March Connor on the shoulder: "Now the major manufacturers are obviously unwilling to give up the announcement channel of the Global Game Awards. If you do so, they should make every effort to announce and give exclusive content, but we will Lost Forest Studios, a game company that has repeatedly created miracles.

If you don't follow suit, we will get Linmu Studios, a game company that has repeatedly created miracles, but at the price... we will lose several big companies that have united.

They are expected to give up and restrict their producers from attending the awards ceremony, and before the awards ceremony, they will announce the content of their new games...

If they want to compete with Linmu Studio, they might as well preemptively... This will be their choice. "

March Connor: "..."

The assistant glanced at Ma Qi's face, then hesitated for a moment, and added: "Also...boss, let me say one more thing. Although we sent out an invitation, Linmu Studio has not responded yet, and Lin Yao probably won't do it this year. I will attend the award ceremony, if I really have to give up other people for them, it will not be worth it..."

Much Connor's face was cloudy and uncertain.

After a long time.

He gritted his teeth, sighed, and said weakly: "I know..."

...

Forest studio.

Mu Wanqing sat in Lin Yao's seat, playing mobile games for a long time...

In fact, Mu Wanqing also likes to play games.

But she is a very traditional female player.

Cartball or something.

She is not very cold.

Even if it is a project led by Lin Yao, she usually just tastes it.

But other games, such as "Kirby Star", she likes very much...

Many people may not believe it.

She is also the studio's first player to clear "Kirby the Star"...

At the same time, it is the only one who can handle the extreme work mode with ease...

So, it's not that Mu Wanqing doesn't play games, it's mainly because of whether it's suitable or not.

And obviously.

The two mobile games on the mobile phone are very suitable for her... very suitable for her appetite.

She was hooked almost instantly.

Sitting on a chair, he played with rapt attention.

According to Lin Yao's judgment.

She seems to like Fruit Ninja a bit more.

Probably... because it's more decompressive to cut.

"..."

Lin Yao stood aside and watched Mu Wanqing play the game for a while.

Then, probably because of boredom, she couldn't help but look away, and glanced at Mu Wanqing's side face.

Mu Wanqing's beautiful eyes were on the screen of the mobile phone, and the sunlight passed through the window and sprinkled on the two of them, at the same time, it also illuminated her already fair profile face more and more crystal clear.

Eyelashes are very long.

With a faint blush on his face, his expression was quiet and serious.

This gesture is really touching.

Lin Yao smiled and didn't want to bother her at all, she squatted down gently while supporting her knees.

Then.

There is such a wonderful scene in the office...

A sister, sitting on the seat, is playing a mobile game attentively.

On the side, a beautiful girl squatted beside the chair, with her hands on her knees, her body sank slightly, her round buttocks slightly turned up, her white neck stretched out, and she looked around boredly.

The two of them were bathed in the sunlight coming in from the floor-to-ceiling windows, like an unusually beautiful landscape...

Time passed slowly.

Another game over.

The sixty-second countdown resets to zero.

The reward page pops up.

Mu Wanqing finally raised her head and smiled lightly.

"Is it fun?"

Lin Yao's voice suddenly sounded.

Mu Wanqing turned her head and met Lin Yao's gaze.

"Why are you squatting..."

Seeing Lin Yao's state clearly, Mu Wanqing was stunned for a moment, then reacted abruptly, put down the phone, stretched out her hand and pulled Lin Yao up.

At the same time, she seemed a little embarrassed: "Sorry, I seem to be too obsessed, you can call me..."

"Forget it, it's rare for you to relax... the game decompresses, right?"

Lin Yao stood up, flicked her ponytail lightly, and looked narrowly at Mu Wanqing.

"It's so stress-free...it's really fun! I've never played such a fun game on my phone, it looks so simple, but it's addictive."

Mu Wanqing nodded slightly, and then said seriously: "I think this game will definitely become a hit after it's announced!"

"Ah That's good."

Lin Yao looked at Mu Wanqing solemnly and nodded.

Then, he suddenly said with a bitter face: "Then can you help me sit down now? Miss Mu, after standing up, my legs are numb..."

Mu Wanqing: "..."

She helped Lin Yao dumbfounded, and sat down on the chair.

Lin Yao sat back on her chair, her expression still weird.

When the leg numbness is the most severe, it is really uncomfortable...

"By the way, Miss Mu, what do you want me to do?"

Lin Yao was sitting on the chair, with her curvy long legs close together, slightly lifted up, then swayed from side to side, and asked a question while relieving the symptoms.

Just now Mu Wanqing walked into the office, as if she wanted to say something.

She still remembers this.

"Well, the organizer of the Global Game Awards invited you to attend the awards ceremony in Los Angeles."

Mu Wanqing responded, and then got down to business: "Then, they also hoped that we could prepare exclusive new game content for the awards ceremony, and they indicated that they would give us the best chance of exposure, sounding very sincere... I want to ask your opinion."

"It's coming again..."

Lin Yao gently put down her legs, feeling a little emotional: "It's the annual awards season."

"Well, how's it going, are you going to participate?" Mu Wanqing asked in a low voice.

"I don't really think about it...Miss Mu, in fact, this year I don't even want to give the contents of the broadcast and games."

Lin Yao hesitated for a moment, then replied: "My plan this year was to announce the new game content at the e-sports festival. This will not only attract the audience, but also imitate the carnival, and use the atmosphere of the event to infect more players..."

She shared her thoughts with Mu Wanqing.

"Use the break of the e-sports festival to announce new games, so that the audience will not be bored during the break..."

Mu Wanqing repeated Lin Yao's words, then pondered for a moment, and asked, "Then should I refuse?"

"...It's not good to refuse directly."

Lin Yao raised her head slightly, looked at the ceiling, thought for a while, and said, "After all, this is the biggest game award, and we just won the Game of the Year last year, and this year our game has also been shortlisted for multiple awards, how about it... The sequel promotional videos of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" and "Dark Soul 2", two popular games in Europe and the United States, have been released on the Global Game Awards. The console department's game and multimedia project " "Resident Evil", we will announce it at the e-sports festival.

With such two games unveiled, they are heavy enough, and they will definitely arouse a very enthusiastic response, and they are also worthy of the organizer of the Global Game Awards. "

"good."

Mu Wanqing smiled gently: "This is the best, then I will reply."

"Um."

Lin Yao nodded.

...

After getting Lin Yao's reply.

Mu Wanqing officially responded to the organizer and producer of the Global Game Awards.

But unexpected.

Linmu Studio is so sincere that the first-hand announcement materials of the two super-popular sequels will be announced at the Global Game Awards.

The other party didn't reply right away...

Mu Wanqing didn't know what the organizer and producer had gone through, so it was a little strange.

As for Lin Yao herself...

I can't take care of this matter.

She ran to interview actors with Qi Jianhua.

Actors of CG movies!

The two most important games in the Christmas schedule were announced at the Global Game Awards.

If Lin Yao still wants the e-sports festival to attract players who usually don't pay attention to the game, she can only spend some time.

And the multi-media planning that CG movies and games are carried out simultaneously.

It's a pretty good job.

She doesn't demand that movies and games be released immediately.

That was too hasty.

She only asked...to draw the pie when the time comes.

At least draw the outline of the pie.

Although it is said that drawing cakes is a routine operation.

But the matter of putting a headline as big news... Lin Yao still can't do it.

There must be at least a few pictures...

So it doesn't matter whether it is a game or a CG movie.

During this period of time, she planned to find time to ask questions.

"In the movie, Rebecca and Billy are the two protagonists, we can find actors."

After Lin Yao saw the last actor, she suddenly turned her head to look at Qi Jianhua, and reminded him: "But forget about Albert Wesker, the two protagonists only appear once, but this role will connect the whole story in the future." For the game series, considering the contract and the influence outside the game, it should be original."

"Standing together the entire game series?" Qi Jianhua was shocked for a moment.

"That's right... I didn't tell you? Forget it, all in all, this is a suggestion. It is recommended not to find an actor... But you are the boss of the project. If you think it is necessary to find an actor, you can do it."

Lin Yao smiled and said, "At that time, there is really no other way, just arrange for a virus to mutate and change the appearance..."

Her words were not polite.

In fact, she really didn't intervene much in the whole CG movie project.

"let me consider it."

Qi Jianhua stayed in Linmu Studio for a long time.

He knew very well that Lin Yao was not the kind of duplicity.

Since it is said to let him think about it, it must be let him think about it.

Instead of letting him 'obedient'.

"Okay, the male and female protagonists have been confirmed, then I'll go back."

Lin Yao stood up.

"Okay, don't worry, I will definitely do this project well!"

Qi Jianhua looked at Lin Yao and issued a military order.

Lin Yao smiled and didn't pay much attention.

She looked around and was about to tell Mu Wanqing to leave.

But after looking around, she couldn't be found.

She is feeling strange.

Man Wanqing opened the door and walked in.

But his face was a little ugly.

"What's wrong?"

Lin Yao was very perceptive, and immediately noticed that something was wrong with Mu Wanqing.

Mu Wanqing came to her: "The organizer replied to an email about the Global Game Awards."

"And then?" Lin Yao asked curiously.

"They said that they were very grateful for our participation, and then specifically explained to me their arrangements for our two sequel games."

Mu Wanqing was a little upset: "The organizer intends to make our new game a special feature, and let our two games be released before the awards ceremony begins."

"?"

"And it's just our family! After our game is announced, the awards ceremony and the regular video broadcast will officially begin... Most importantly, the time they give is very short."

Mu Wanqing pursed her lips lightly: "It's only four minutes! Leaving aside the transition, the time left for us is only a little over three minutes!"

"Why?" Lin Yao was a little surprised.

How does this benefit the sponsor?

If Linmu Studio was a small company, it would be fine if its works were not well-known.

But Linmu Studio is not small, and the works to be announced are all sequels of popular masterpieces.

"..."

Mu Wanqing was silent for a moment, and explained to Lin Yao the choices and compromises within the Global Game Awards Committee.

In the end, March Connor did not hide the truth from Linmu Studio.

Although this game company is out of the mainstream, it has never had much contact with major European and American game companies.

But their game is really good.

March Connor didn't want to hide it until the end, and completely offend such a big game company that is currently in full swing.

"..."

After hearing this, Lin Yao was dumbfounded.

"Lin Yao, I plan to cancel the cooperation," Mu Wanqing glanced at Lin Yao's expression, and then gave her own proposal.

Lin Yao came back to her senses: "Well, let's do it like this."

Mu Wanqing hesitated to speak.

Lin Yao smiled: "Don't get me wrong, I don't think it's unfair or angry, I just think it's... a little funny, these people kicked us off the stage, and they don't want to compete on the same stage, so aren't they afraid of us... In addition Would you like to set up a table?"

Good guy.

Really nice guy.

Originally, she was worried that the games revealed at the e-sports festival were not exciting enough.

Well now, they shut out Linmu Studio, which means...the e-sports festival plan can be implemented, and the content is also exciting enough.

The e-sports festival and the Global Game Awards are held at... very similar times.

Don't want to compete on the same stage?

...

the next day.

March Connor got the exact answer from Forest Studio.

He read the email quietly.

Then calmly close the page.

Sighed.

This is to be expected.

He is also mentally prepared.

And now.

He can only comfort himself, but the forest studio is gone...

The Global Game Awards, as well as... all major game manufacturers except Linmu Studio.
