Chapter 19: The Exhibition Opens
May 18th.
The Huanhai Game Expo arrived as scheduled.
After more than half a month of "hard work", the Honghuang Studio led by Chen Lin finally completed the game and completed the final test.
"Mr. Chen, are we really going to show this game off?"
Backstage at the exhibition, in the spacious lounge.
The two men and two women in charge of the display had bitter faces as they looked out at the huge crowd waiting to enter.
"What are you afraid of? You should have confidence in the game made by Lao Li and his team."
Chen Lin smiled and spoke to comfort her.
The calm look made the four of them secretly criticize him.
We trust Lao Li's skills, but this game is a little too eye-catching.
But there are so many people outside.
Don’t these single guys want to go somewhere else to have fun on 520?
"Okay, the meeting is about to begin. Du Xing, you are smart. Go and help me check the situation over at Huan Hai and Xing You." Chen Lin said, turning around.
"Okay, I'll make sure to complete the task!"
Du Xing was shocked when he was called, and his expression immediately became serious.
Huan Hai and Xing You, especially Xing You, almost caused them to lose their jobs and the disbandment of the studio.
Now that the enemies meet, they are naturally jealous of each other.
After agreeing, he quickly turned around and left, blending into the work team outside and rushing towards the booths of the two companies.
Just at this moment.
The announcement sounded and the door opened.
The players outside shouted excitedly and poured into the venue like a tide.
"Let's go and get to work."
No matter how reluctant they were, the remaining three had no choice but to follow Chen Lin and go inside the booth to get ready.
The booth they rented was not remote.
But it is also some distance away from the center of the venue.
It is a bar-style booth with twenty computers.
On each side of the square modern bar, four computers are hung, and each computer is equipped with two lift chairs and a matching handle keyboard.
At first glance, it looks quite decent and is in no way inferior to those central booths.
But when those players passed by the booth and saw the large promotional screen, they couldn't hold back anymore.
"Pfft! What's this?"
“Is this a promotion for a cartoon?”
The big screen above the booth showed the game cover of the two rabbit men.
The funny painting style, coupled with the large-screen projection, made all the players passing by laugh.
If you don’t know, you might think you have come to a children’s animation exhibition.
"Forget it, let's just keep going forward and go check out Huan Hai's booth first."
"I heard they are showing three games at once. We have to hurry over, or we won't be able to grab a spot."
"Hurry up, stop dawdling!"
The reserve of adults ultimately prevented them from overcoming their psychological barriers, and they hurriedly passed by the Honghuang studio.
Inside the booth.
The three employees were digging their toes so hard that they were about to break through the soles of their shoes. They wanted to hide under the table and find a hole in the ground to escape.
This is so damn embarrassing!
They had never done such a shameful thing since they were little, and in public.
On the other hand, Chen Lin seemed to be fine. He sat there calmly observing the other booths, nodding and shaking his head from time to time.
You can see it.
For this exhibition, all major companies worked very hard and produced many good games.
In just a few minutes, the booths were surrounded by people.
Huanhai's booth was especially crowded with people, and players were queuing up to go in and experience it.
In comparison like this.
It's much quieter here.
Even though the three employees felt embarrassed, they were still very unwilling.
"It's just that they rely on their large venue and good location. What's so great about that?" Xiaowei from the HR department said indignantly.
"There's nothing we can do. After all, they are the organizers." The programmer next to him whispered to comfort him, his words full of helplessness.
Then the three of them looked at Chen Lin at the same time, wanting to ask him what to do.
But I don't want to.
Chen Lin seemed to have anticipated this situation.
He reached into his pocket, slowly took out a metal USB drive and handed it to them.
"Take it, and replace the promotional projection screen with this."
"Ah? You're not going to promote the game poster anymore?"
The three of them were stunned and subconsciously took the USB drive.
"No." Chen Lin shook his head. "I asked Lao Li to make that poster casually. Since it has no promotional effect, there is no need to keep it."
As he said this, he turned around and continued to observe the situation in the venue.
The three of them wanted to say something, but the words were held back when they came to their lips.
Anyway, the situation can't get any worse than it is now, so let's give it a try.
After thinking about it, they looked at each other, plugged in the USB drive, and then a video file appeared on the console.
Prison Break Season 1.MP4
ah?
What is this?
The expressions of the three people at this time were just like the players who just passed by, all confused.
"It looks like a promotional CG?"
The programmer boy hesitated.
"It turns out that Mr. Chen also prepared a CG!"
"That's what I said. How could there be no preparation at all?"
The two little girls breathed a sigh of relief, clicked on the file with a smile on their faces, and directly chose to project it on the big screen.
…
And at this time.
On the Huanhai booth.
A large group of players who came here for the fame formed a long queue, and the end of the queue was almost invisible.
Several figures in suits stood in the back, admiring the grand occasion with smiles on their faces.
"Representative Zeng, it looks like Huan Hai will take the first place again this time." A representative from Xingyou said flatteringly.
"Indeed, judging by the popularity of various exhibitions nowadays, Huanhai must be ranked first." Another person immediately responded.
"Haha, no problem. It's only because of your constant support that we can achieve such good results."
The man who was called the former representative blushed and waved his hand modestly.
It seemed that in their eyes, this exhibition was a sure win, and they didn't care about other games at all.
If Chen Lin were here, he would definitely recognize him at a glance.
This Zeng representative was actually the person who had wanted to forcibly acquire his game in the first place, and was also one of the persons in charge of this Huanhai exhibition.
For the three games made by ourselves.
Zeng represented that he was still very confident.
After all, the level of resources is there, and in the same period of time, there are basically not many manufacturers whose game quality can match theirs.
Moreover, for this event, Huanhai also launched three level-breaking games with different flavors at one time, which greatly increased the appeal to players, making it difficult not to win!
This is not.
The person in front had just tried the game for a few minutes when the players in the queue behind him started to urge him to play.
The lively scene left other manufacturers sighing in admiration.
"Hahahaha...what the hell is this?"
Suddenly, a loud laugh came from a distance, interrupting the noisy and shoving of the crowd.
The players looked back in confusion, wanting to see who was making such a loud noise.
But he was immediately attracted by the picture playing on the promotional screen in that direction.
At this point the animation has just started playing.
Accompanied by a burst of weird background music, a cell and two rabbits appeared in the cell. One was lying on the bed reading a book, and the other was standing on the bed dancing to the beat.
The funny painting style and the idiotic eyes immediately made the players laugh out loud.
"Zhao! Isn't this too ridiculous?"
"It looks like a promotional CG for a game."
"What kind of manufacturer is so weird that they think this thing is CG?"
