Chapter 252: Daily salary and lunch included?
Time flies and a week has passed.
The trend caused by AI continues.
After the impact of these few days, netizens and major manufacturers have gradually adapted to this new thing and started to apply it in their lives and work.
Many games using AI as a selling point have emerged on the market and have become extremely popular.
"My Lover", which was once the most popular, also became silent in this big wave.
"The Internet's memory is indeed short-lived. It's only been a few days and the popularity is not as high as before."
In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao had just completed a strategy guide and could clearly feel that there were fewer discussions about this game online.
After all, these kinds of mini-games are just for the sake of novelty.
Once the novelty wears off, the initial fun is naturally gone, and it is still very difficult to retain players for a long time.
"The main reason is that there are too many similar games on the Internet now."
"This kind of game is not difficult to make and is relatively easy to copy."
"I've played other similar games, and I feel that the accuracy is not as good as Honghuang's."
"Indeed, the intelligence accuracy of the game Honghuang is obviously higher, which should be the difference in AI level."
There was random chat in the barrage, discussing what had happened recently.
Seeing that the live broadcast was not very popular, Ouyang Xiao stopped broadcasting the game and changed the topic.
"When Honghuang announced the sales of Red Dead Redemption last week, didn't they say that the new game project had been finalized? Does anyone know any inside information? For example, the best friend of my cousin's second uncle's daughter works there."
As expected.
When talking about the new game Honghuang, many people became interested and the number of comments suddenly increased.
But after talking for so long, no one knew the specific news.
I don't even know what type of game it is.
All I know is that it is the second online game launched by Honghuang.
When it comes to the Honghuang online game, their memories still remain of "Dungeon & Fighter" which was launched last year.
That game is really hot right now.
But the online gaming industry is very precarious. Even big companies like Penguin and Huami often experience sudden failures after launching their games, resulting in the cancellation of dozens of games.
So just having the ability doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll become popular.
The most important thing is that it has to be fun enough to ensure that players are online at a high rate.
If Honghuang still treats online games according to the routine of single-player games without any flexibility, it will probably suffer losses.
"To be safe, they should make the horizontal fighting game that they are best at, right?" Ouyang Xiao couldn't help but guess.
Doing this really ensures that nothing goes wrong.
But it is almost impossible to make a breakthrough.
Most manufacturers who take the safe route basically use this old method to make money.
Some have even published more than 20 films in a series...
to be honest.
Deep down, she didn't want Honghuang to do this.
"Huh? Honghuang has issued a new announcement."
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiao's gaze fixed on the prompt that popped up in the lower right corner of the computer.
It turned out to be the official account of Honghuang for which she had set a special reminder.
It is true that when you mention Cao Cao, he appears.
I immediately clicked on the message to go to the official blog interface, and a new announcement came into view.
Less than two minutes after it was posted, the number of comments exceeded 100, shocking her and the audience in the live broadcast room.
[Honghuang Studio: Are there any friends who want to make a movie? Our boss said that he is short of money recently and has no money to hire actors. He needs 50 players to act as extras for the new game CG. ]
[250 per day, daily payment, including boxed lunch, round-trip air tickets and hotel accommodation, shooting time is about two weeks, and the game must be played for more than 250 hours...]
ah???
Seeing the announcement, everyone was stunned.
As if being petrified, everyone suddenly became silent.
Some people even rubbed their eyes hard, thinking that they were dizzy due to overnutrition.
Want players to shoot CG?
What kind of outrageous operation is this?
There is no money to hire actors.
I don't believe you!
I don’t know who just announced last week that the game sales exceeded 20 million, and now he is crying poor?
"Fuck! That's fucking sexy."
"As expected of you, Honghuang."
"In terms of making things happen, Honghuang has never let me down."
"Gosh, gosh, gosh... this is not an announcement at all, it's clearly a job advertisement!"
"Does that mean you want to let the players shoot the promotional CG?"
"WOC is quite interesting. It makes me want to go."
"250 a day! Food, lodging and round-trip airfare included! What a magical job!"
For a moment, the entire gaming community was amused by Honghuang’s funny announcement.
The shocking content of the advertisement was no less than that of the leather factory owner running away with his sister-in-law . It quickly attracted a large number of netizens to watch and laughter echoed everywhere.
This was the first time they saw a manufacturer dare to do this.
As expected, if there is no capital behind you, you can do whatever you want without having to worry about stock price crashes, shareholder accountability, and other messy things.
It can be said that Honghuang is truly a unique flower in the industry.
However, the players soon reacted and were attracted by the treatment offered.
Obviously.
Honghuang has no money, it’s just for the show effect.
The real purpose is to recruit extras to shoot game CG, and 50 of them are required at a time, and they must be loyal players of the Honghuang game.
This is not a part-time job at all.
It’s totally a benefit for the players!
It instantly cheered them up.
"If we don't invite celebrities but players, won't I also have a chance to be on camera?"
"Is it the CG for the new game you mentioned earlier?"
"Damn it! I still have more than ten hours left to play the game!"
"Haha, I've achieved what I asked for. I'll leave first, brothers."
"How can I be missing from such a fun thing?"
"I've signed up, I want to be on camera too!"
"Me too!"
This was the first time in the entire gaming , and it immediately caused a stir among the player community.
Even the manufacturers who received the news were surprised by Honghuang's bold move.
When people are shooting game CGs, they all want to get the most popular stars to endorse them.
You actually let the players take the photos. What kind of decision maker can come up with such an outrageous practice?
Although it's a bit unbelievable.
But I have to say, the effect is surprisingly good.
In just one hour, the comments under Honghuang’s announcement exploded, and countless players rushed to the scene after hearing the news and engaged in heated discussions.
after all.
This is the first game CG shot by a player.
The sense of participation is really full.
Many people who meet the requirements and are brave enough have started posting screenshots of their registration, attracting countless people to watch.
Not long after, the player updated the message again.
"Brothers! I got it! I got it! Hong Huang really picked me!!"
Below the extremely exciting message, there was also a screenshot of the photo shoot invitation.
This screenshot can be said to have caused a huge uproar.
They originally thought that Honghuang was just a show, and would be changed to some professional extras later, and at most a few players with outstanding looks would be brought in to make up the numbers.
Can be sent along with the message of this player.
Screenshots of interview pass began to appear one after another in the comment section, and some even attached photos of themselves that were so ordinary that they could not be more ordinary.
"WTF?! Can someone like this be selected?"
"No, Honghuang, are you serious?"
"Are you really planning to use the entire player lineup to shoot the CG?"
"Damn it! I'll sign up right now, before those idiots take all the spots!"
The full player lineup CG is very exciting just thinking about it.
It feels like I've participated in the making of a game.
If the game becomes popular by then, won’t they be in the limelight?
In a blink of an eye.
The number of registrations surged again.
Directly broke through the three-digit number.
Fortunately, Chen Lin set the requirements high enough, requiring more than 250 hours of game time, otherwise it would have been destroyed by players.
In this heat.
The 50 players were quickly screened.
The business customer service arranged to pick them up from all over the country and place them in the hotel.
It took two days and cost a lot of money.
However, compared with hiring a big star, this expense is just a drop in the bucket and is not worth mentioning.
Those players who rushed over were both excited and expectant, and some even started live broadcasts to record their itinerary.
After a night's rest, you're ready.
Everyone got on the bus and went to an abandoned factory not far from the studio.
When they got out of the car and walked to the open space outside the factory, they were immediately shocked by the scene in front of them.
"Sandbags, trenches, bulletproof vests, is this a gunfight type of theme?"
An old man standing at the front said in surprise, looking around.
There has been a lot of discussion recently about the new game Honghuang, but no one knows what type it is, so we can only guess.
But the scene before them surprised them.
"It must be a gunfight."
"So we're going to be filming a gunfight scene later?"
“I actually came to the scene to shoot!”
"What should I do? I'm so nervous now."
"What are you afraid of? Didn't I say on the way here that I don't care about the acting, and that everything will be synthesized using post-production special effects?"
"That's true."
Everyone relaxed after hearing this.
Under the guidance of Honghuang staff, we entered the performance venue with great anticipation and began to change into performance costumes.
The whole scene was buzzing with activity, everyone was extremely excited and ready to show off their prowess in front of the camera.
The only pity is that I can’t take photos or broadcast live.
It seems that we can only know the effect after the finished CG product is released.
Wait until they are ready.
Mr. Chen, Mr. Li and several other Honghuang employees also arrived one after another, and under the arrangement of the photography department, they began the intensive filming work.
…
“Is it really okay to do this?”
In the Honghuang studio, Lao Song looked at the images sent back by the on-site personnel with a strange expression.
Fortunately, he had work to do and was only assigned a role with few scenes in indoor shooting, otherwise he would have been embarrassed again.
"Don't worry, the CG of this kind of game allows players to join in and feel more involved." Chen Lin smiled playfully.
He has never been one to stick to a rut.
Since no one dares to do it, they will be the first to do it.
Moreover, a game with a completely new gameplay must have a completely new way of promotion to ensure the popularity of the game after it goes online.
Originally, he could have shot all the scenes indoors.
But after so many CG customizations, he found that the richer the materials provided, the better the quality of the customized CG would be.
So we simply rented the abandoned factory and used it for on-site filming.
It’s also a good time to try out the effect.
"By the way, it seems that Penguin already knows that we are planning to enter the gunfight market and is preparing to put pressure on us."
Suddenly, Old Song changed the subject and his expression became serious.
"Pressure? How are they going to do that?"
Chen Lin's eyes fixed, as expected, Penguin would not sit idly by and watch them seize the market for this type of subject matter.
"According to the information I have gathered, they should make a major update to CF's biochemical mode to stabilize the players."
The biochemical mode is one of the most popular ways to play in real money.
If they really update it at that time, it might affect the launch of their game.
Especially for a large company like Penguin with huge capital, everyone would be worried.
"Don't worry about them."
Chen Lin said nonchalantly: "They can do whatever they want, we just need to do our own game well."
If it were just an ordinary game, the penguin might really succeed.
But their game is different.
Although they are of the same type, they have completely different ways of playing, and strictly speaking they are not the same track.
I guess they all thought so.
Will Honghuang make a CF-like game this time?
