Chapter 455: If I don’t go towards the mountain, the mountain will come towards me!
I heard Brown's troubled and tangled voice.
On the other end of the phone, Lawrence smiled:
"What's wrong, Brown? When GW first participated in GDC, wasn't it you who went against everyone's opinion and specially invited them?"
Hearing this, Brown couldn't help but smack his lips and forced a bitter smile.
Indeed, as one of the organizers of GDC, he has always been very open-minded and willing to try and accept new things.
It was he who arranged for Golden Wind to attend GDC for the first time.
Even at that time, Golden Wind did not meet the invitation standards set by GDC.
And the final result is also good.
Golden Wind showcased its own "movie-style game" project for the first time at GDC. A Way Out amazed everyone and won the hearts of many players and friendly companies.
Moreover, since Golden Wind participated in GDC, GDC has begun to open its arms and accept more and more emerging small and medium-sized game manufacturers to participate in exchanges and discussions, further promoting the progress of the industry.
But the problem is.
The previous invitation only made Golden Wind an invited manufacturer of GDC.
"It's totally different from the main guest..."
Brown hesitated and said:
"The invited manufacturers are just guests who come to exchange views and speeches. Some smaller manufacturers don't even have a chance to speak. They are here purely to participate in industry exchanges."
The main guest is undoubtedly the center of attention in GDC.
It carries the important task of showcasing the most groundbreaking and pioneering works of the year, and also serves as the default industry benchmark for the conference.
"Do you think it's difficult for Golden Wind to meet this requirement?"
After hearing Brown's concerns, Lawrence asked:
"Or have you forgotten their performance at GDCA?"
hiss--
Lawrence's words gave Brown a reminder.
GDCA, Global Game Developers Conference Choice Awards.
No one will forget the glorious achievements of Golden Wind in the history of GDCA.
With the two games "Peak Nations" and "Overwatch", Golden Wind won four major awards including the "Game Choice Award of the Year" and nearly ten nominations.
It is the most outrageous and unquestionable achievement in the history of GDCA.
Look at the global gaming community.
Can achieve this result.
As of now, there is only one manufacturer, Golden Wind.
Who cares about Konami, CloudWin, or Fafox.
No matter how big or small the manufacturers are, no matter how old they are, none of them can be compared with Golden Wind.
Brown was heard silent.
Lawrence knew that Golden Wind's outstanding achievements had finally shaken Brown.
So he struck while the iron was hot and continued:
"How about this, we should contact Golden Wind first and ask for their opinions and recent situation."
"If they don't have better ideas and projects recently, we will look for someone else,"
"But if they have new ideas recently, then we will--"
…
《Big news! Chinese manufacturers are invited for the first time! Golden Wind is confirmed to be the main guest of the 14th GDC! 》
《A new masterpiece is about to be unveiled! Golden Wind has confirmed that it will announce its latest work at the 14th GDC! 》
《Unprecedented breakthrough! GDC officially announced that this year's main guest is China's medium-sized game manufacturer Golden Wind! 》
[After mutual confirmation by both parties, Golden Wind will serve as the main guest of this GDC, with the theme of "Sharing Market Opportunities and Seeking Cooperation and Development"... ]
[It is reported that the original guest of honor for this GDC was Yunwei, but due to the recent negative news surrounding Yunwei and the antitrust investigation restrictions imposed on its parent company Vivendi by several countries, the guest of honor was temporarily replaced by Golden Wind...]
[A blockbuster! The work that Golden Wind will exhibit at GDC this time will be the second 3S-level work created with the self-developed engine after Battlefield, and the total investment is expected to be no less than 250 million dollars! And it is reported that this work will no longer continue Golden Wind's expertise as an excellent FPS, but will turn its attention to ARPG action role-playing games...]
【……】
good!
Brown once urged Lawrence to "give Golden Wind a chance to show its talents".
As it turned out, they succeeded.
This time, it was Lawrence who persuaded Brown to "give Golden Wind a chance to take the lead."
Although they don't know what the final outcome will be yet.
But judging from the reactions of various media and players.
At least this decision has won many people's applause and expectations——
'OHHHHHHH——The main guest! GW New Zealand Dollar!'
'It's bad, the quintessence of Chinese culture has been leaked'
'Huang! You are so awesome!'
'Hahahahahahahahahahaha, abstract...'
'Incredible! This is the first time that a Chinese manufacturer has been invited as the main guest of GDC! GW is truly an unprecedented pioneer!'
"If the rise of Chinese games mentioned by the media before was just a rhetoric to cater to the market, then this GDC certification is enough to show the value of GW now..."
"After all, it is the most important industry exchange meeting in the industry. Although its size is still a little insufficient, in terms of influence and professionalism, GW can already be called one of the world's top manufacturers."
"After all, the development time is only four years, and they have just gone through a complete cycle of the world's four major game exhibitions."
'Brothers! Latest gossip! Xiao Huang's new ARPG is likely to be about wolves!'
'ah--???'
'I'm afraid! Is the source of the news reliable?'
'Is a new version of the Journey of Pain coming?'
'No wonder he was able to host the event and invite guests, it turns out he was holding back a lot!'
"Will it be Wolf 2? The Dragon's Homecoming? Sending the Sakura Dragon back to China? Didn't the ending of Sekiro say that the Sakura Dragon came from the far west? Isn't the West of Japan us..."
“Oh my god… now that I mention it… I’m really a little excited…”
"That may not be the case. After all, Dragon's Homecoming is not the ending approved by Lao Zei. Returning to Normal is the official ending. I guess there won't be a 2nd episode of Wolf's Suicide."
"What kind of story would that be..."
"Who the hell could have guessed this? I don't think we'll be able to understand the trailer even after it's released. It's sure to be another weird one."
"Don't say that! Don't say that!"
'To be honest, I really like this. I really like the old thief's mysterious and confusing words...'
'As soon as he opened his mouth, he was like Old M'
"……"
A sensation !
good!
With the official confirmation from GDC, Golden Wind will officially be the first Chinese manufacturer invited as the main guest to participate in the 14th Global Game Developers Conference!
As the news came out, players and the media launched waves of discussions and reports.
As a professional global industry exchange event, this news has also caused quite a stir in the gaming community.
Some are happy, some are sad.
First of all, the happiest company must be Phoenix Engine R&D Co., Ltd., which has just reached a cooperation with Golden Wind and accepted investment from Shen Miaomiao.
The feeling of betting on the right thing is so fucking great!
It's just like buying a Lotto ticket three minutes before the draw, and before you even finish smoking a cigarette, you win the prize!
As old partners, eGame and XunTeng are naturally very happy.
The God of Wealth is showing his power!
God knows what kind of improvement their motion sensing cabin market share will see with Golden Wind attending GDC as the main guest.
And beyond that!
A number of Chinese manufacturers who have taken advantage of the golden opportunity also expressed their congratulations.
If the big brother takes the lead, the market will become bigger and bigger, and they will get more and more.
Of course!
The world is balanced.
When someone is happy, someone has to be sad; when someone is happy, someone has to cry.
For example, Yunwei.
Today, if we were to describe Kotick in four words, it would be - overwhelmed.
He never expected it!
It was just a cooperation negotiation that couldn't be simpler, but it led to the current situation!
yes!
He had intentionally targeted Golden Wind before, and had never given up on suppressing Golden Wind, and had long coveted the copyright to Golden Wind's treasure.
But this time!
Heaven and earth’s conscience!
He really didn't intend to target Golden Wind!
He just wanted to take advantage of the time when the company had just recovered, activate its largest studio, and work hard to produce a game to recover and stabilize the situation!
That's all!
There is no more thought of direct confrontation or secretive mischief!
result!
I don't go towards the mountain, the mountain comes towards me!
The flutter of a butterfly's wings during a simple business negotiation caused a tsunami that affected the interests of the group!
Originally, Kotick's plan was very good.
As long as they can reach a cooperation with Phoenix this time, they can mediate the business friction between Huanmeng and Phoenix.
After that, it will be natural for them to announce as the main guest at the upcoming GDC that they have reached a strategic partnership with the two major mainstream engines, Dream and Phoenix, to further expand their influence and gain a more comprehensive grasp of the industry's lifeline.
Who would have thought!
The Golden Wind's quick arrival disrupted all his plans!
What's even more terrifying is that Golden Wind, who quickly secured the position of Phoenix's second largest shareholder, not only disrupted his plans, but also launched a double blow of blockade and public opinion warfare against them!
It’s clearly just a business move for strategic development!
But Golden Wind seized the opportunity and turned the tables on them!
Now!
Not only did Phoenix's cooperation fall through.
Huanmeng's relationship with them also broke away from the honeymoon period.
The constantly eroded market share and the rumors of being "abandoned" created a clear gap between Huanmeng and them.
This gap has even begun to shake Huanmeng's determination to implement the blockade plan.
As for GDC?
Kodick no longer had the energy to care about it.
The cancellation of their guest status has completely put an end to their desire to attend this year's GDC.
It’s not that they can’t participate, but they have been disqualified and are too embarrassed to attend the conference as downgraded ordinary guests.
In the fourteen-year history of GDC.
Yunwei Games will be absent from the conference for the first time.
For a moment!
With the official announcement of GDC, the world's gaming industry has once again become turbulent.
