As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 216 Hyena
"Let's welcome the IG team!"

When the IG team appeared on the stage, the cheers and shouts like a tsunami made players from other countries realize that the audience in Huaguo was only cheering and applauding out of politeness.

For VR games, purely in terms of visual effects, the on-site visual effects are not as strong as wearing a helmet at home.

To be honest, in terms of the visual effects of ordinary games, when the finals are played offline, the effect is not as good as lying at home and watching a tablet or computer.

Why are so many spectators going to watch the game live?Need to grab tickets for popular shows?

Because of the atmosphere at the scene, you are surrounded by game lovers like you. Everyone is happy, angry, sad, and happy because of the same things, and the sense of identity and excitement they bring is far beyond offline.

Although the offline visual effect is not as good as online, it is incomparable offline in other aspects.

Chen Ran and Chen Chi also contributed to this game, and some of the game designs in it were created by them.

Looking at the enthusiastic audience, Chen Ran was both proud and fearful.

I am proud that this game has its own credit in it, and I am afraid of the strong operational capabilities of the Goose Factory.

The first competition can create such momentum, the quality of the game itself and the strong operation of Goose Factory complement each other.

Chen Chi glanced at Chen Ran who was beside him with a serious face and tense body, and comforted him:
"Brother Ran, today is just to watch the game and relax, don't think so much, we usually work hard enough."

"No matter how successful Doomsday is, the overlap between our project and the target audience of Doomsday is very low."

"What's more, we have accumulated some fans now, so we don't have to worry too much."

Chen Ran and his team named their project "The Feather of Breaking the Law", which talks about the revival of aura at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Against this background, players need to experience various weird events in the grotesque Apocalypse Year.

The main story line is the explosion of Wanggong factory in the southwest corner of Yanjing City six years after the apocalypse was cracked, saving the lives of more than [-] citizens.

The setting of the game is mediocre, and it is not even novelty in today's booming entertainment industry.

Just looking at the project, most investors will make a judgment that the investment is high and the risk is high.

But when the Red Fox Studio established by Chen Ran and the others released the first promotional video, it quickly sparked heated discussions in the console game circle.

The promotional CG effect is so good that its authenticity is considered top in the world.

Players have expectations, but they don't dare to expect too much. They have been cheated by domestic game manufacturers for so many years.

There are many companies that make CG with their heart and make games with their feet.

From the perspective of CG animation alone, there is no doubt that Red Fox Studio has strength.

But whether it is a good game with strength and what is made, the correlation is not very strong.

Moreover, most players are skeptical about an entrepreneurial game studio that they have never heard of.

The entrepreneurial team of Black Myth Wukong has worked on Red Tide, and the core team has worked on God of War before.

The red fox is a fog in the outside world.

Chen Ran and the others played a CG animation, managed the company's Weibo, Douyin, Bilibili and other accounts, and sent a few renderings from time to time to stimulate the players, and then there was no more content.

Not long ago, after half a year of polishing, Chihu Studio released a demonstration video of the real machine on Weibo and station B, which quickly detonated the game circle.

Players don't believe the so-called live demonstration animations of mobile games, but the real demonstration animations of console games still have strong credibility.

After all, in the host game circle in Huaguo, the word-of-mouth of players is very important.If your product is wrong, there will be a bunch of one-star bad reviews waiting for you when the game is on the shelf.

"The Feather of Breaking the Law" is a console game that was first released on VR, so the real machine demonstration animation is only available in VR.

The real machine demonstration screen effect that is ahead of all current VR games allows players to directly fill their expectations.

"I'm blown away by this picture alone."

"This effect is even better than Black Myth, Cthulhu's sense of immersion is too strong."

"The most important thing is that there are Chinese architectural styles in the art style, but the natural scenery in the demo screen can clearly feel the strange flavor of Western fantasy.

The combination of the two will not give people a sense of abruptness, but a feeling that it should be so.

The main beauty of the red fox is definitely a big cow among the big cows. I don't know which big cow in the industry they have dug. "

"The game mechanism looks a bit similar to the addition of Diablo, and the fighting scenes are relatively conventional. With such an excellent picture, as long as the plot is done with care, it is definitely a masterpiece."

After the real machine demonstration animation came out, Red Fox Studio still maintained a mysterious style and did not accept any media interviews.

Hunger marketing has achieved the ultimate.

The media can't find out who is behind the Red Fox Studio, can't the big factories find out?

Goose Factory quickly dug out the founder team behind Red Fox Studio.

After all, most of their team came from the goose factory, and they still keep in touch with their former colleagues.

"Send you a good thing. You can open it on the VR station B and have a look. It's absolutely amazing."

"Hey, I thought it was something, so it's here."

"This is the hottest console game in the industry recently. The number of views on station b has exceeded one million. A certain up master converted this video into a flat format and uploaded it to the ordinary version of station b. The number of views on the mobile terminal has exceeded ten million. .

This main beauty is too good, and the picture effect is really strong enough. "

"Ah, the main beauty is Tracy."

"Tracy before your group? Yes, you went to the same company. Is this a product made by your company?"

"Yeah, we're me and Tracy, we're in Red Fox now."

"You kid is really lucky, to participate in the production of this project, maybe you are a veteran of the game manufacturer.

Tracy didn't have this ability back then. Based on my understanding of her, she is at least a bit behind the art level in your actual demo video.

If she has this level, Goose Factory will definitely not let her go easily. "

"Won't people make progress?"

"Come on, it's not so easy to improve in the field of art, everyone is a veteran, don't fool me.

Those who can make progress can see their potential within a year after coming in. She has worked in the goose factory for more than three years before. If she had this potential, she would have been developed by Lao Wu long ago. "

"Okay, okay, we have foreign aid in art, and we invited giants from Europe and America to do the selection and style fusion."

"I just said, you still want to fool me! Are you still short of people? I'll come and join you."

"It's lacking, it's been recruiting people, you've seen the CG animation and demo video of the law-breaking feather, the investment in this game is comparable to a 3A masterpiece, there must be a shortage of people.

Moreover, we are going to make VR platform games. There are very few domestic VR development experience personnel, and most of them are in large factories.

The treatment we give is no less than that of the goose factory, and the working place is in Guancheng. If you want to join me, I will recommend it for you.

Our current boss is Lao Chen, Chen Ran, you should know him. "

The reason why the employees of big factories are keen on helping people referrals is not because they want to form gangs, but because the people they referral successfully enter the job through interviews, and they can get a head fee.

The money depends on the rank of the referee, and the maximum can be more than [-].

The rewards are still very generous, and some people in big factories earn more than normal wages by relying on this.

Chen Ran was an employee who went out of the goose factory, and the Red Fox Studio was really short of people, so they also learned this set of mechanisms.

"I know, we have chatted a few times before. Chen Ran has a broad vision and has his own unique understanding of the game.

It's not surprising that he led the team. I always thought that Chen Ran just lacked an opportunity.

Give me a push, I really want to move a bit. "

Some people want to go to the red fox, some people don't want to move their nests, so they tell their superiors after they know the news.

That's how the news got out.

Goose Factory soon learned that the production team of "The Feather of Breaking the Law" is basically the people of Goose Factory.

Originally, the investment department of the goose factory had a sufficient budget every year, and all the ammunition had to be shot out.

Even in today's stagflation, as the de facto monopoly in Huaguo's social field, Goose Factory has less funds to invest in, but it is still huge.

Moreover, with the success of science and technology innovation in the future, the investment department of Goose Factory has more authority to invest in some enterprises with real core value.

This time Chen Ran and Chen Chi came to Pengcheng, and they were able to get the tickets to the finals so smoothly, and it was also the executives of the goose factory who ordered them behind their backs.

They wanted to take the opportunity to chat with Chen Ran to achieve their goal of investing in shares.

"The kid survived. The kid relied on Apollo's bow to kill all the remaining two members of FAZE!"

"Yes, kid survived to the end, the IG team became the winner of the last round, and they fought to the end."

"In this way, after a month of competition, IG won the first "The Last of Heroes" Global Finals Day-by-Day Cup with the first overall score!"

"It's really not easy. The strength of the four teams in the finals is very close. IG's victory is due to luck, but the decisive factor must be their own strong strength."

"FAZE's performance in the last round of the final round was a bit abnormal. Why did they run to the Fra cave? They can completely deal with kid outside."

"Maybe it's to find Shenhuo. After all, the kid holds a divine weapon, even if it's two against one, it's not sure that it will win."

"It's just that they didn't expect kid's last two arrows to be so accurate, and they didn't give them any chance of life."

"I think it was Zeyuan who said that FAZE had the greatest hope of winning the championship when he commented on the game last time. Later, in the final round, the remaining two players started to suck milk from their keyboards."

"It cannot be blamed on me, the first three rounds, including FAZE's performance in the European League this year, is indeed the best.

It can only be said that winning the e-sports championship requires a combination of strength and luck. "

"The principal smiled very proudly."

"Sure, after all, what IG won this time is not only Huaguo's first championship trophy in the finals, but also the championship trophy in the first finals of the Global Hero Doomsday Project."

"Yes, and it was under the witness of [-] spectators at the scene and tens of millions of spectators in front of the screen."

This kind of attention-level competition has much more gold content than the champion of League of Legends S1.

At the time of League of Legends S1, there were only dozens of people watching the game. At that time, no one in the audience at the scene would have imagined that in just five years, the same game would be watched by tens of thousands of people.

Chen Ran couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This is the fun of e-sports, no wonder it is said that fighting with others is a lot of fun."

"Our next game will also be a PVP game, and I want to create a similar ecology."

Chen Chi said: "In fact, we can create a series of games around the Feather of Breaking Laws."

"We can create different types of games around the world view and plot."

"Blizzard's world view of Warcraft has created a series of classic works, and DOTA2 comes from Blizzard's world view."

"We could absolutely take a similar approach."

"The revival of spiritual energy at the end of the Ming Dynasty can become a very rich world view, and we can slowly fill in its details."

"Resurrecting spiritual energy, deducing different historical trends, and different East and West collisions."

"Extracting one of the aspects is enough to make a PVP game."

Not only Blizzard builds games around the same worldview, but also Fist, which has been making different types of games around LOL.

Assassin's Creed, The Elder Scrolls, all of that.

It's just that the series of games built around the world view of Warcraft are the most successful.

After watching the game, the friend who helped them get tickets for the final invited Chen Ran and Chen Chi to dinner.

Chen Ran's friend complained to him that there would be unexpected guests this time.

"Brother Ran, Levi, the executive director of the investment department of Goose Factory, will also participate in the dinner tonight."

"Who is Levi? The name sounds familiar, but I don't think I've seen him."

"Levi is an executive in the investment department who is responsible for the investment of the game line. He heard that you and I know each other and we want to have dinner together at night, so he specifically said that he would be invited.

I really can't get rid of it.

As for the purpose of his coming to this dinner, I think you should be very clear.

Red Fox Studio has been so popular recently, it is completely like a sweet potato. Goose Factory, as a famous hyena in the game industry, will definitely not let go of this opportunity.

I really can't shirk it, after all, he is my boss's boss.

When he comes to our dinner, if he says anything, you just treat him as a fart, and we eat ours.

At that time tomorrow I will ask you to rub again alone. "

The employees of the goose factory do not shy away from complaining about their own company.

After all, the employees who can enter the Goose Factory to make games have gone through various interviews, and most of them have a passion for games.

If you love games, you will naturally be uncomfortable with the series of operations of Goose Factory.

During the dinner, Hao Rui didn't mention the matter of investing in Red Fox Studio at all. Instead, he shared interesting stories about his career.

The other is to share some of the projects I have invested in, the success or failure experience with Chen Ran, because Chen Ran is also in the stage of starting a business.

Those who can be senior executives of the goose factory are still in the investment department, and all of them are good people.

After a meal, Chen Ran felt like a spring breeze, and had a great time chatting and eating.

After eating, the four went to the tea room to drink tea before getting down to business.

After Chen Ran's friend called Chen Chi away, Hao Rui went straight to the topic:
"Ryan, your project has a lot of potential, and Lawbreaker Feather has the most potential of any VR masterpiece I've seen.

But there is still a long way to go from potential to success. "
