An Expert Is actually By My Side

Latest website: 9:30 in the morning.

Standing in the exhibition center, Zhou Ruining kept looking at her watch, standing on tiptoes from time to time, looking around. Finally, her eyes lit up, she saw her boss, and hurried over.

"Boss, you can be regarded as coming, you are about to start."

"Don't panic, anyway, the judges are not us, and it won't affect anything if we don't arrive."

Seeing Hao Yun's calm expression, Zhou Ruining looked helpless and didn't know what to say about him.

Please, this is a game you made yourself at any rate!

Are you not worried at all?

After a long time, she was busy there, which made her feel like the emperor is not in a hurry and the **** is in a hurry.

In fact, Zhou Ruining was wrong to blame Hao Yun. Hao Yun was not completely dissatisfied with his game. In fact, he was busy upgrading the online community function of Magic Tower all day yesterday. It was not until three o'clock in the morning today. It's done, I came to the exhibition center immediately after sleeping for a while.

He is also very curious about the results of "Magic Tower" in the competition.

On the other side of the venue.

Tang Youxi was also looking around with his toes, looking for the familiar figure.

However, what made her a little bit disappointed was that the young lady who had been with them for the past two days did not show up. She had been looking around for a while without seeing the familiar figure.

"President Tang! Can our game make it to the finals?" Seeing Tang Youxi always looking around there, A Zhai standing next to him in a t-shirt said.

Before Tang Youxi had time to answer, the man in a plaid shirt standing next to him vomited.

"It's a ghost to be shortlisted. Our booths are all squeezed out."

The magic tower was really hot these two days, and there was an endless stream of people lining up to take pictures and punch in, and their games at the booth next door all suffered. At first, he thought that the people in the line could bring some popularity to their booth, but it made the booth where there were no people even worse.

So far, less than sixty players have experienced the text adventure masterpiece that they took a year to develop.

Now it seems that it is useless to expect to stand out at the Shanghai Game Show. You can only try your luck by throwing it on the e-fun platform after the game show is over.

"How can I say that!" Tang Youxi was unhappy, and stared at him and said, "The finalists do not completely depend on the popularity of the booth, and the taste of the game's artistic and interesting aspects... …In case our game, which big judge would have taken a fancy to it?"

A Zhai, who was wearing a t-shirt, and the man of science and technology looked at each other.

"Mr Tang, I think this probability is lower than winning the lottery."

"Yes, Mr. Tang, we might as well buy a lottery ticket with club funds, and if we win the first prize, we will issue it!"

Tang Youxi flushed with anger, glared at the two men fiercely, turned his head to face the stage of the Convention and Exhibition Center and stopped talking.

The stage is located in the side pavilion of the Convention and Exhibition Center and was temporarily erected last night. The layout here is like a U-shaped theater, divided into two parts, an inner court with seats and an outer court without seats, which stretch out in a stepped manner.

At this moment, several judges have already sat on the stage, talking and laughing while waiting for the main event of this Shanghai Game Show to officially begin.

Finally, with the arrival of ten o'clock on the hour, a long and long bell rang in the Convention and Exhibition Center.

Almost at the same time, whether it was the friends who were laughing and talking, or the friends who were excited about their favorite game, they couldn't help lowering their voices and cast their eyes on the stage directly in front of the B exhibition area.

The judges and special guests of the contest have already been seated, and the host with the microphone has walked to the front.

He cleared his throat, and with an exhilarating and loud voice, announced that this year's Shanghai Game Show had officially entered the most exciting link-the selection of the Golden Keyboard Game Awards!

In fact, in addition to the golden keyboard, there are multiple awards including the best creative award, the best picture award, and the best music award. However, the gold content of these awards is more than that of the gold keyboard.

After all, in a game, no one will remember the names of the runners-up and third-placers.

The only person who can leave a name in the history of the game is the champion!

Sitting on the seat in the infield, Zhou Zhenyu squeezed his fists, and Li Zongzheng, who was not far away, also squeezed his hands and sweated out.

According to the game process, the first thing that will be displayed on the screen is the top20 of the most popular works by players in the C exhibition area of ​​this game show.

The rankings are in no particular order. The rules for the ranking are based on the thermal cameras deployed in all corners of the exhibition area, dynamically collecting and analyzing the "heat" stay data in front of each booth, and calculating each booth's performance according to specific algorithm rules. heat.

For independent game designers and small and medium-sized game companies in the C exhibition area, this top 20 list is also a pretty good exposure opportunity.

Especially for works that don't have any fans.

Many players will go shopping for games on major platforms afterwards, and to a large extent they will also refer to this list to see if they can find treasures.

There is no suspense.

Both the Dragon King and Xiuxian Simulator appeared on the list.

What only made Zhou Zhenyu's look slightly gloomy was that, not surprisingly, the magic tower also appeared on the list.

Not even just the magic tower.

Because the Magic Tower booth was too small and the heat was too big, even the two booths next door were drenched and were systematically placed on the list.

Seeing his game appear on the big screen, Tang Youxi almost didn't scream in excitement. But fortunately, several members of the society next to her controlled her, and this did not allow the president who had his head off the line to do anything out of the ordinary.

According to the selection rules of the competition, after the display of the heat value list, it will enter the selection process.

In this link, each judge holds a judges vote, can recommend a game to the big screen, the players vote, and finally determine the ownership of the Golden Keyboard Award.

If the same game is recommended by two judges, the number of player votes for that game will be doubled. Similarly, if it is recommended by three judges, the final number of votes for the game will be multiplied by three based on the number of players' votes.

At first glance, this sounds unfair.

But it is not.

First, the voting system is registered, and secondly, the voting method is conducted one by one rather than announced at the same time.

When each judge nominates the game he recommends, he will include his reasons for recommending it to the players.

In this voting mode, the judges who spoke later considered whether to vote for the same game more carefully.

In other words, if he feels that it is not good enough to be worthy of two or three votes, he also has enough time to reconsider and leave the opportunity to those who need it more.

As for fraud...

To be honest, it is possible to influence subjective opinions because of the stakes, but it is basically impossible to buy the judges here.

Those sitting here are not the big coffee veterans in the industry. Everyone is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It's not bad money, but a mere game company is definitely not able to afford a bribe.

In contrast, buying players will be easier.

But then again, it is impossible to achieve absolute fairness.

It can only be said that this two-track selection method in which professionals control the power and the players determine the voting base is fairer than those music and performance auditions that are completely controlled by a few "mentors".

After all, if the right to choose is completely handed over to the players, the quality of the entries in the competition will definitely be inferior.

And if it is completely handed over to the judges, it seems that it will also take the line of detaching from the people. Whether you win or not depends on the mouth of an expert, and what you say may not convince everyone.

So is it to please the "art" or to please the "market"?

For those participating game producers, this is also an issue that must be carefully considered.

But now, someone has made his own judgment.

"I recommend Dragon King."

The big man who spoke was Wang Mingfeng, the CEO of Pineapple Entertainment.

Regarding his speech, no one was surprised by the industry insiders or the players standing outside.

After all, the industry has been rumored long ago that Mango Entertainment is seeking to acquire Sunbird, and it is even possible that the two parties have reached some kind of agreement in private.

As long as Dragon King's performance is not too unsatisfactory, he naturally has no reason to stingy with the votes in his hands.

"The quality of the Dragon King is definitely beyond doubt. Both the picture and the plot are amazing. This is what everyone sees. Especially the rich moves and the highly free combat system are simply visual to me personally. feast!"

"So I voted for it with the votes of the judges in my hand, and I hope Sunbird Studios can make persistent efforts. I am optimistic about you!"

There was applause in the field.

Sitting in the infield, Zhou Zhenyu looked at the stage with a smile while applauding, and cast a grateful look at President Wang.

But Mr. Wang didn't look at him. After all, the camera was facing here, and it was somewhat inappropriate to make eye contact with the audience.

"It seems that the previous rumors are true," A Zhai who stood behind Tang Youxi, clapping his hands in a low voice, whispered, "I didn't expect Pineapple Entertainment to actually acquire Sunbird."

"80% is also forced by helplessness," the man of science and technology standing aside sighed. "After all, the Assassin Biographical series is too popular. Originally, Sunbird and Fire Kirin were the benchmarks of action adventure games in the industry. As a result, Fire Kirin was acquired by the Rice Group After that, he threw the sunbird away to grandma's house."

"What are you talking about?" Tang Youxi asked curiously.

"Nothing, gossip in the industry."

"...?"

I don’t know if it’s his own illusion. Tang Youxi always feels that the members of his society don’t even think of his future president as an insider...

The game is continuing.

The host on the stage nodded, smiled and faced the audience, and then looked at the judges' bench.

"Now our first judge has cast his precious vote. Has anyone else selected his favorite work?"

The judges were silent for two seconds.

It seems that Mr. Wang's answer is too concise and concise, so that no one else is ready yet.

At this time, a middle-aged man with a slightly blessed figure said with a smile.

"It's very tangled, there are so many excellent works... You are still hesitating, or I will come."

The spotlight fell on a fat man.

He wears trendy sunglasses, and his long hair is tied behind him into a pigtail. He doesn't look like a gamer, but an artist.

Hao Yun doesn't know this guy, but the players around him seem to be familiar with him, and he is also a well-known industry leader.

However, at this moment, the voice of the player next to him suddenly came.

"Fuck? Why is Director Liu here too!"

"It's actually Liu Qizhe from Liu's Pictures!"

"I heard that Pineapple Group recently acquired Liu's Pictures."

"I'm going! Is this third-line mobile phone brand across the sea planning to buy our entire entertainment industry?"

Hearing the discussion between the two players, Hao Yun's expression was slightly awkward.

Uh, okay...

I didn't expect to be a director.

But why would the director be invited here.

While perplexed, the respected Director Liu on the stage smiled and said openly.

"I'm not a game designer. In fact, I am a director. You should have heard of my movies more or less."

"From the perspective of the plot alone, the plot of the Dragon King is undoubtedly very good in my opinion."

With a kind smile on his face, the slightly fattened director continued.

"Although Mr. Chen has said everything I want to say, I still want to say a few more words. Even if we put aside the tolerance of the start-up independent production team~www.ltnovel.com~The Dragon King is definitely standing on the ceiling of the industry. Works on."

"Yes, we can see a lot of good works in the competition, especially the action role-playing category, but it is difficult to see the traces that have been polished like it."

"I think its meaning is like putting a brick on the ceiling of a building. We all thought the ceiling of this skyscraper was 150 meters, but now it has been raised to 151!"

"I will vote for the Dragon King with this vote."

"Thank you!"

The voice fell.

There was an uproar in the audience, and even the judges were in turmoil.

Two votes!

The selection has just begun, and Dragon King has already received two votes from the judges!

If there is no inside story, a ghost would believe it!
