Chapter 439: The dragon slayer eventually becomes the evil dragon! The authority dog is actually me!
Late spring and early summer.
As the weather gradually gets warmer, the gaming world is becoming more and more lively.
Especially after the release of the trailer for "Battlefield", the previously silent Golden Wind once again appeared strongly and frequently in reports from major gaming media.
There are all kinds of reviews.
Some people say that Battlefield is another milestone in the FPS world, an innovative next-generation game, and the Golden Wind's second attack after half a year without an engine available. It will surely dominate this year's CJ exhibition.
Some people also say that the Battlefield promotional video over-exaggerates the atmosphere of the battlefield.
Although there is nothing wrong with making the promotional video look better, many manufacturers do so.
"But as the first official work of the self-developed engine, can more sincere publicity be more worthy of the players' expectations for this game?"
“Will over-exaggerating the battlefield atmosphere affect players’ judgment of the actual quality of the game?”
“The actual gameplay effect is still a mystery. GW has not released any relevant gameplay trailers. Does this mean that the quality of the game itself is insufficient?”
"Too high expectations will harm Golden Wind. The lack of actual news for a long time, does it mean to some extent that..."
…
"... Konami is getting anxious."
There is less than a week left until the China CJ Show opens.
The main exhibition hall of Shanghai International Convention and Exhibition Center.
Standing in front of the huge "Golden Wind" LOGO sign, Gu Sheng looked at his own booth and took a deep breath.
And beside him were Lu Bian and Dajiang.
"They must be anxious. This is our home turf, and our promotional video has received such a huge response. They will definitely do everything they can to belittle us and elevate themselves."
Dajiang deeply understands this.
Lu Bian beside him also hugged his shoulders and nodded:
"But my advice is don't rush it yet, because they will be the ones to rush later."
After saying that.
The three of them couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Perhaps from Konami's perspective, all their strategies and practices were flawless from the beginning to the end.
Because they were sure that Golden Wind could not come up with any engine features, and they also could not imagine that the Golden Engine would take a different approach and make a breakthrough in "physical destruction".
But the more so!
The more eager their attacks became, the paler and even ridiculous they seemed.
For a moment, the venue fell into silence.
As the only representative enterprise handpicked by the host, Golden Wind enjoyed the privilege of entering the venue in advance to set up the booth.
At this moment, looking at their own already decorated booth, the three seemed to have a lot of feelings.
After a moment, Lu Bian said something that seemed to be out of context: "It's been four years..."
Although it sounds a bit confusing.
But in fact, all three of them knew what the phrase "four years" meant.
Four years ago, in the dead of winter, Huayu Entertainment held its 10th Game Development Media Conference.
That was the first time Golden Wind participated in a game exhibition.
The three brothers were in front of a small booth in the corner, with their hands tucked into their sleeves, squatting tremblingly behind the booth, waiting with great anticipation for players to try out their first motion cabin shooting game - Left 4 Dead.
That was the debut of the second-generation FPS. It was also at that exhibition that Gu Sheng stood on a rickety little stool and shouted, "Let shooting games be great again."
To this day.
Four years passed in a flash.
The second generation of FPS has become the undisputed mainstream in today's shooting game circle.
And after many twists and turns, they once again stood in the spotlight of a T0-level international game exhibition in their own country as hosts.
"Back then, my team just started—"
Gu Sheng snorted.
On the side, Lu Bian also took over at the right time:
"There are only a dozen people in total, and seven or eight guns!"
Hearing the two singing, Dajiang was not to be outdone:
"I was so dizzy when I was chased by Huang Jun——"
"Thanks to that Aqing Sao,"
Gu Sheng also became more energetic, and took a pose, with one hand on his waist and the other hand raised with a thumb pointing behind him:
"She told me to hide in a water tank!"
"Hey, you three bosses are great. Are you singing again?"
Just saying!
I heard brisk footsteps and a clear voice behind me.
Turning around, Lu Bian laughed out loud:
"Whatever you sing, it will come true. Aunt Qing is here."
"She should be called Ashengsao." Dajiang corrected her seriously.
good!
The person who came was Shen Miaomiao.
Also coming with Shen Miaomiao were Chu Qingzhou and Jiang Shan.
Coming to Gu Sheng's side, Shen Miaomiao naturally put her arm around Gu Sheng's arm, tilted her head to look at the finished booth, and nodded with satisfaction:
"Wow, this is really impressive! Is this the largest booth we've ever had?"
"It's normal for a joint booth to be a little bigger,"
Gu Sheng smiled:
"Our booth is combined with Yiyou's, and we are the host, so one booth takes up the area of three booths. Isn't that reasonable?"
It makes no sense!
Hearing this, Shen Miaomiao rolled her eyes.
What a joint booth.
Yiyou is an individual sensory cabin company. Originally, it has always participated in exhibitions with other game companies in the form of a joint booth.
Although this time, Yiyou did launch a new upgraded machine - Yiyou x2Pro.
But it's far from being a reason for your two families to occupy three times the area, right?
Damn dog authority!
Shen Miaomiao cried out in pain in her heart.
Once upon a time, they stood in a corner and marveled at how other people’s booths were so big and beautiful.
And now, the dragon slayer has become the evil dragon.
The authority dog turned out to be me.
"Ah yes, yes, yes, yes,"
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao also laughed and poked Gu Sheng lightly:
"It's reasonable. When has Mr. Gu's words ever been unreasonable? You are the most reasonable one in our family. Mr. Gu is reasonable."
As they spoke, the group walked out the door laughing.
Lu Bian took Chu Qingzhou by the hand, Dajiang carried Jiang Shan on his back, and Shen Miaomiao also took Gu Sheng's arm and asked:
"I'm hungry, what shall we eat?"
No hesitation.
I heard the three brothers talking in unison:
“Help yourself!”
The buffet in the dead of winter was the most unforgettable meal in their lives.
I just don't know if this time, they can go all out and leave the boss stunned like they did last year.
While speaking.
The group then walked out of the venue.
rumble.
As the venue's automatic doors opened.
At the same time, a group of people were seen outside the door, walking into the venue.
Passing by.
Both teams glanced at each other slightly, but neither spoke, nor even nodded, as if they were strangers.
But in reality!
Both parties are no strangers to each other.
…
"It's Gu Sheng and GW's senior management team. It looks like they just set up the booth."
Nakamura Masakazu withdrew his gaze and said in a low voice.
Hearing this, the president's assistant Kodera Taro snorted coldly:
"Humph, you are so loose and disorganized, like a startup team that just graduated from school. If you didn't rely on the official support, I wonder if you can still walk so easily..."
Kodera's voice was low, filled with annoyance and resentment.
According to their plan, this time when they came to China, they were going to follow the example of Golden Wind planting its flag in Ginza and hang their logo high on the outer curtain wall of the Shanghai Center Building.
However, this idea did not succeed.
Moreover, not only did the Shanghai Center Building not accept their sky-high business orders, even most of the key booths rejected their "cooperation" requests without exception.
This couldn't help but make Konami extremely annoyed.
It is certain that this situation occurred because Golden Wind was secretly protected by the authorities, and their retaliatory publicity offensive was blocked at a higher level.
if!
This is a TV series.
Then the next scene will definitely be one of "The golden wind inspires self-improvement and moves compatriots to join hands". There is no official instruction, and it is entirely the golden spirit that inspires everyone to unite spontaneously.
But unfortunately, reality is not a TV series.
Konami guessed right.
This is the arrangement from above!
No one is allowed to be blinded by money and accept Konami's promotional work!
Anyone who dares to take the call will face a joint investigation by the industrial and commercial administration, fire department, tax department, health department and even the China Banking and Insurance Regulatory Commission!
Under high pressure, no one dares to joke about the future of their own business!
actually.
There is no need for the upper echelons to exert such harsh and targeted pressure on the gaming industry.
As for market freedom, our country has always maintained an open attitude and accepted friendly business exchanges with all countries. We never interfere with normal business competition.
In other words, under normal circumstances, let alone if Golden Wind and Konami were fighting each other, even if Golden Wind could not hold on and was directly swallowed up by Konami, in principle, the upper echelons would not pay special attention or intervene.
But why is Konami given such "special attention" this time?
[Engine Blockade]
Ultimately, it was Vivendi's blockade that affected the investment enthusiasm of other countries!
This is an extremely serious problem!
If the tiger doesn't show its power, do you really think I'm Hello Kitty?
Not allowing you to have any offline promotional channels in Shanghai is just a small appetizer!
My dear brother, I know you are in a hurry, but don’t be anxious yet, because there will be something urgent for you soon!
“Ah——? This——! This this! This!!!”
Next moment!
Follow the Konami team into the main exhibition hall.
I heard the team gasp!
Even Nakamura Masakazu couldn't help but exclaim in surprise!
But see!
As they walked into the exhibition hall, right in front of them was the Golden Wind booth!
The huge booth is 95 meters wide, which means the highest authority in the world.
On the giant LED screen, the golden LOGO of Golden Wind and the bright red LOGO of Yiyou echo each other!
And right above the venue, several fighter jet models were hanging high in the air, chasing and biting each other!
The static explosion scene of an A35 is extremely visually impactful!
Look to the left!
The towering Pearl Tower is crumbling and is collapsing in half!
Looking to the right, the majestic Shanghai Center Building was filled with smoke and flames, and the floor was breaking and falling from the sky!
Several armed helicopters are hovering around the building!
The missile shot out from the lower ammunition bay and headed towards the heavy tank under the building!
Surrounding this stunning scaled-down war scene are 64 of the latest Yiyux2Pro Battlefield Collection motion sensing capsules!
Luxurious! Magnificent! Shocking!
The unprecedented and extravagant scenery made the entire Konami team open their mouths wide!
So cruel!
They originally thought that the mycelium-themed "Resident Evil 7" booth at the Tokyo Game Festival that made people's 3 points drop wildly was the pinnacle of their imagination!
But now!
The Golden Wind used his actions to announce to them——
The Sheng7 booth is just the limit of what we can do under your restrictions, not the limit of our booth design!
The same thing again!
If we reversed roles, I would let you know what cruelty is!
Such a stunning booth layout, located right opposite the exhibition hall entrance, coupled with the dazzling and explosively talked-about collapsed Pearl Tower and Central Building!
Stop comparing.
At that time, many people in the Konami team were ready to sit down and start playing badly.
What the hell!!!
When they were at their doorstep, they didn't seize the opportunity, allowing Golden Wind to attract the attention of the global media with that mycelium booth!
The golden wind is even crazier now!
The battlefield was directly scaled down to scale and moved into the venue!
What the hell is this!
You call this nearly 100-meter-long thing a f*cking exhibition stand?!
Your booth alone can accommodate exhibition areas for dozens of small game manufacturers!
The most important thing is——
"How can I repair it——!!!"
While everyone was still in shock!
Then a furious roar was heard next to the giant Golden Wind booth.
Looking back, I saw Kodera Taro standing in the open space on the left, tremblingly pointing at the area next to him outlined by the landmark lines:
"This... this... this is where our booth is! It's just... this little bit!!!"
Crash, crash——!
Hearing this!
Everyone rushed over to check.
The booth area marked with the word [KONAMI] was only about 20 to 30 meters wide. At this moment, it was placed next to the Golden Wind booth like a pawn in front of the emperor.
At this moment, a voice was heard from the open space on the right:
"This... is Yunwei's..."
It’s about the same size as Konami’s place, and looks pretty pathetic.
On the left and right, Yunwei and Konami "guarded" the Golden Wind.
His heart is damnable!
He is simply despicable!
Obviously!
The organizer designed it this way on purpose!
The huge golden booth was placed in the center, and Konami and Yunwei, two of Vivendi's "two generals", were placed on the left and right.
And the design intention is very obvious!
That is to let the Golden Wind suck their blood!
After all, judging from the current situation, Yun Wei still has no main player this season, and if he is left next to Golden Wind, he will simply be sucked dry.
As for Konami, not only was it severely tricked by Golden Wind in the release of the promotional video, but it also quickly lost the popularity and traffic it should have had.
Afterwards, it was collectively banned by all publicity and promotion windows in Shanghai!
There is not even a single advantage over mainland China!
Nakamura Masakazu's chest heaved and his face turned pale!
In fact, before this, he had thought that coming to China would definitely lead to a situation where the offense and defense would change.
But this is too damn easy, right?!
He simply couldn't imagine what the situation would be like when the scene was opened!
