Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

If Oscar is the pinnacle of the film and television industry, then Blizzard is the pinnacle of the game industry.

No industry can exist independently, and the same is true for the film and television industry, while other industries, such as the clothing industry, are inextricably linked with the film and television industry.

The food industry, the cosmetics industry...all of them are line by line.They need the film and television industry to drive their reputation, and artists also need the other party's sky-high endorsement fees and exposure.

The game industry, too.

The Japanese national monster Pokemon, Master Hayao Miyazaki's Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, etc., almost all Japanese artists rushed to participate.And Nintendo, the veteran game empire, put on airs instead.

Pokemon is enough to keep Akihabara up all night, enough to make fans line up from twelve o'clock on the first day to nine o'clock in the morning of the next day.Blizzard games, too.

StarCraft revitalized an entire industry called "competitive gaming", and the next World of Warcraft, no one expected that it would have the same impact as a nuclear bomb explosion around the world.

For other companies, even if Ubisoft's Virtual Life series asked Lin Xiao to endorse, he would consider it, but when Blizzard came to him, he nodded without hesitation.

The mainstream crowd of games and the mainstream crowd of film and television have similar coverage as high as 80%!

"Then... I'm going to reject it?" Qin Xin asked, she doesn't play games, she knows very little about Blizzard, and she doesn't know what is flooding the dormitory, Diablo 2, sc.

"No, there is no need to push this." Lin Xiao laughed, "Where are they? I can meet them."

"Let's think about it." Qin Xin put on airs, held a grudge against Lin Xiao when he said just now that he didn't need to look for him, and made a little girl, so he moaned and said, "I can't remember."

"..." Lin Xiao was speechless, "You are really a fish's memory, it's only wonderful."

"Hmph... Who told you not to look for it. I didn't remember it." Qin Xin said proudly, "I remembered it just now, but I forgot it now."

Lin Xiao teased for a long time before she said, "They said that the game will be released in November, and there are still a few months left, and there is still a one-month publicity period left. The time is very tight, and the Asian theme song has been handed over to Jay Chou. Yes, but the image endorsement has not been confirmed yet, one male and one female will be selected in three places in China, Japan and South Korea, the female is basically confirmed to be Kim Hee Sun, and the male is to be determined.”

Lin Xiao recalled it a bit. If I remember correctly, the Asian theme song of World of Warcraft is "Half-orc," from Jay Chou's new album, and she obtained the final image.

However, now because of his rebirth, if he had to choose between China, Japan and South Korea, he would definitely not be able to skip this hurdle!

"Okay, I'll contact them right away." Lin Xiao laughed. No one thought that World of Warcraft, a game that "makes Blizzard feel uneasy" and "makes Ninetowns crumble" would last for ten years!It has been popular for six or seven years!

This is unique in the history of gaming. There were legends back then, but the legends were limited to Asia, and there was no worldwide sensation at all!

"Go to bed early, remember not to be too late."

After a few words of advice, he picked up the phone and first called the assistant director.

"Help me find some people who can speak good English."

After a while, an old man in his fifties entered the room. Lin Xiao looked at him up and down in surprise, did he find the wrong person?

"Director, are you looking for the wrong person?" The old man grinned, "That's right! It's just that I'm not at fault at all, so let's talk about it."

The other party said so, but Lin Xiao was embarrassed to doubt it, so he said the general idea and asked him to communicate with the other party.

The old man picked up the phone and pressed call back, and after a while, there was a sound of connection.

When he opened his mouth, Lin Xiao was also taken aback. Judging from the few simple English he knew, the old man's words were not rigid academic accents, but authentic colloquial accents.

Putting down the phone, the old man smiled and said, "Director, they said they will be there tomorrow. Are you all right?"

Lin Xiao looked at the other party complicatedly, and asked after a while, "Sir, what's your name? You can speak English fluently."

"Miangui's surname is Chen, Er Chen, Chen Daofu. It's English. I have studied in England before. I stayed in England for seven or eight years, and I am quite impressed."

Lin Xiao nodded, "Mr. Chen, if you don't mind, can you help me with English tutoring? If you have time, you can make up for it, and the salary will be calculated separately."

There is money to be made, why not agree, Chen Daofu nodded immediately, Lin Xiao is not stingy, everyone who has worked with him knows it.

Lin Xiao is also preparing for the future. Being able to speak fluent English is necessary for international communication. If you bring a translator with you, you will feel embarrassed over time. Don't you lose your share when others go abroad?

He also has an idea, to go to the University of Southern California to name and recharge.

This is the biggest difference between Hollywood artists and Chinese artists.The Hollywood system determines that an artist can fail twice at most, and most of the time he fails the second time. Once he is awarded the "Golden Raspberry" award, that artist will probably be ruined unless he becomes a comedian.

The same goes for singers. The two albums did not reach the expected sales volume. Sorry, even if it is a first-line company, the company has to make a new plan.

This has led to Hollywood artists not daring to take films indiscriminately, which is completely different from most domestic artists who aim to make money.Chinese artists like him are full of film appointments, while those in Hollywood who are really famous may only shoot one film a year.

For the rest of the time, several major Hollywood "queen schools" have become artists' "charging rooms," and basically every school can find the names of famous artists.

This is also one of the reasons why the quality of Hollywood artists is generally higher than that in China.

However, if he wants to do this, he must first pass the test of English. Almost all the foreigners he contacts now are proficient in several languages. Talking about communicating with movie fans, communicating with those producers, directors, and investment is a big problem.

After explaining this matter, he rested. The game company was looking for an endorsement, and there was no reason for them to agree. Blizzard is only famous now, and it is still a little far away from saying what it says.

The next day, the convoy turned to Lanzigou, and everyone didn't dare to make a big show of it. The news of the assembly number had already been hyped up, and if they were to be recognized, they would hardly even think about leaving.

Every artist does not leave the gate without leaving the second door. Even if they really want to go out, they wear sunglasses and masks, accompany the stage staff, and "gecko docks their tails" when necessary, armed to the teeth.

The convoy left first, but Lin Xiao did not leave, he was quietly waiting for Mike Mohan.

Chen Daofu also came down to act as an interpreter.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, he received a call and sent a car from the crew to meet him. Half an hour later, five tall foreigners stood in front of him.

Mike Mohan, with blond curly hair, a deep outline typical of Europeans and Americans, and dark blue eyes, is the tallest of the five. He is a big man over 1.9 meters, and Lin Xiao almost looks up to him.

"Hello, mr.lin." When Mike saw Lin Xiao, his eyes lit up and he spoke a long string of English.After Chen Daofu listened carefully, he turned his head and said, "He said that he is the Blizzard project, the production executive of World of Warcraft, and next to him are the art director and evaluators."

"Also, he said that there is no need to find an interpreter. He specially hired an evaluator who can speak Chinese."

Lin Xiao once again strengthened the idea that he must learn English well, which is too inconvenient.

Immediately, he looked deeply at the group of people in front of him.

Which version of World of Warcraft is the most classic?Classic old world without a doubt.

MC, Black Wing, Ahn'Qiraj... countless familiar names, and the dungeons that made teenagers excited day and night were all made by this person in front of him, at least one of them.

This is the hottest era of Warcraft, and it is also the pinnacle of the rise of a world-class game empire.

However, in his memory, the release of World of Warcraft can be described as difficult.

First of all, Blizzard has no confidence in itself.Because wow is too disruptive to the game, they once said at the game exhibition, "This is a game that we can't make up our minds about."

Therefore, major companies are also cautious about their endorsements. As for Japan, which is dominated by home consoles and handhelds, the proportion of games is not much at all. Regarding the olive branch of Blizzard, many popular artists choose "wisely" Nintendo, Sony.

"Mr. Lin, we have already explained the matter very clearly." A tall and thin foreign man said, "I don't know what Mr. Lin thinks?"

Lin Xiao said unhurriedly, "I have never endorsed for a game before, I believe you have also investigated it, generally this kind of large-scale game, once endorsed, must not endorse other types of games for a period of time, this is the same as It doesn't make any difference to the other endorsements in the ad, but..."

He changed the topic, "It seems that your company is also very worried about this game."

"Mr. Lin." As if expecting him to say this, the tall and thin man immediately said, "Blizzard's brand, I believe it is worthy of this reputation."

"From Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft, Mr. Lin should have heard of our company." He talked eloquently, "Every game is a classic. I believe our company has this ability, and, according to our According to the survey, the people covered by games and movies are highly overlapped, this endorsement will bring Mr. Lin unexpected gains."

Lin Xiao smiled, and changed the subject a bit, "Why did you choose China?"

"As for the selection from the famous Asia-Pacific artists, we also carried out more than a month, and finally settled on China, a market with more than one billion people, and because China's network is developing very rapidly, and the number of people has increased dozens of times in a few years. Otherwise, I would have chosen South Korea. Mr. Lin, as you know, South Korea’s network coverage, network speed, and public approval are the highest in Asia, even surpassing Japan.”

Lin Xiao nodded, "Then, why did you choose me?"

"Hong Kong and Taiwan also have many artists, why did you choose me?"

"Oh, Mr. Lin, this has also gone through a wide range of screening." The tall and thin man said without hesitation, "Originally, those superstars don't match the age. It is impossible for us to let a teenager's game speak for Cheng Long. There will be age disapproval."

"Among the new generation of artists, you are the only one who has entered the Japanese and Korean markets. You have a fairly good degree of recognition in the Asia-Pacific region. Now only Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Princess Wang have achieved this."

"Where is Jay Chou? His songs are well received, and he has many fans in Japan and South Korea."

Now, almost all Yankees laughed.

"Mr. Lin, his height doesn't match."
