Chapter 694: The Fireworks That Year

On the other side of the city, at Cuiyuan No. 1, the sumptuous and lively Chinese New Year's Eve dinner has ended. However, everyone still has other things to do, such as complaining about the Spring Festival Gala, complaining about the actors, complaining about the host, etc., if you can't do it, you can get together to play games, and you won't be bored at all.

Although some of the staff secretly yawned, there was no one who went back to sleep in the room, and they were all waiting for Aunt Yang's aunts and uncles to ring the bell at 0 o'clock.

According to tradition, it is one thing to accompany the two elderly people to celebrate the New Year, but more importantly, it is the fireworks show a few hours later. If nothing else, just rush to the fact that this performance is fully sponsored by Boss Ma, and everyone can't go back to sleep without giving face.

Of course, it is not for nothing that they don't give face to the boss, for example, the four snack goods are now lying on their own cots and falling asleep.

Because of the shift care, the little ones have their own rooms very early, and after learning to turn over at the age of three months, they began to sleep in separate beds, a habit that continues to this day. And this obviously exercised their ability to live independently, and the unfamiliar bed under them did not cause any trouble.

Coming out of the children's room, Tang Jiayi smiled and handed the phone to Atletico Madrid, "Look at this!"

Atletico took the phone and looked at it, and couldn't help laughing: "This thing spreads really fast!"

It was a poster with a set of 10 by 6 squares in the center, with a gray monkey head in the upper left corner, and different time numbers underneath.

At the bottom of the poster is a line of large letters with a red paint effect: it&#诱rturn (It's your turn)!

The theme of this poster is obviously about animal protection, especially the protection of monkeys, and the creator tried to use that bloody slogan to warn humans: if you don't protect the monkeys well, it will be your time when they are dead!

However, for many people, the content of this poster has a different interpretation. As long as someone has entered "Monkey Sailei" tonight, they will naturally know that the picture of the main part of the middle part of the poster is actually from the game screenshot, and it is a screenshot after participating in "Year Beast Run". In this way, the phrase "it&#诱rturn!" has a kind of "I'm hanging up, and you're almost there" in it.

In fact, in the comment area under this scarf, there are obviously more users who hold the second point of view, and soon the building is crooked to the real-time broadcast of the annual beast's blood volume. This naturally has the credit of the intelligent recommendation algorithm, which identifies the source of the picture and will actively recommend this content to users who play monkey bibs, but the popularity of "Monkey Sailei" on Chinese New Year's Eve is also indispensable, otherwise intelligent recommendation can only be reduced to no source of water.

"Well, there is still some truth," Atletico Madrid analyzed seriously: "If the monkeys are all dead, human beings will indeed be one step closer to extinction, because no suitable test subjects can be found, and the research and development of new drugs and new vaccines will definitely be greatly affected, such as the development of the Ebola vaccine, as well as the development of the Zika vaccine, the participation and contribution of monkeys are indispensable."

"It's hypocritical, I don't know how many monkeys will die of disease. ”

"It looks like there are more rats and fruit flies that have passed through your hands?"

"Okay, don't talk about this," Tang Jiayi hurriedly begged for mercy, talking about the "number of kills", Atletico really can't compare with her, a student figure, unless the rules are changed, the views of some big monks, and the number of heads of online game PK are also counted, Atletico will surpass her.

Shaking her head to banish a certain earnest mage from her mind, Tang Jiayi walked towards the living room upstairs. It's not good to go to the restaurant again, otherwise everyone will look cramped and uneasy, but my parents are very good at this, and there is no estrangement and awkwardness with the girls and boys.

Taking over the thermos milk pot that had just been delivered, Tang Jiayi poured a glass of hot milk for Atletico and herself, and asked casually: "By the way, you will only do this kind of 'industrial game' in the future?"

"How come?" Atletico lowered his head and sniffed the milky scent, "Art can't be industrialized, we're just improving the tools of the ninth artist!"

Compared with traditional handicraft workshops, standardized, automated, and streamlined industrial large-scale production can bring higher output, more stable quality, and lower costs.

In the field of games, although there are works that attach importance to artistry and insist on hand-drawing throughout the process, a variety of convenient and fast automatic development tools are still welcomed by most developers, especially commercial game developers, such as plant brushes that automatically generate surface cover, and biological tools that generate NPCs and animals in batches.

When it comes to improving tools, Bee Games is definitely the most motivated one in the world.

As the world's largest producer of games (including PCs, consoles, and mobile phones), Bee Games is interested in how to further increase production capacity, enhance quality, and reduce costs, and this industrial philosophy is also implemented in their game production behavior, from the original Vee Virtual Earth Engine to the current latest PTE3, which has maintained the friendliest support for automatic tools.

Later, Bee integrated its computer audio and video resources, sorted out and upgraded these tools, and created their IndtryStandardToolkit (IST, an industry standard toolset). With this set of general tools, other companies can get twice the result with half the effort when dealing with CGI and sound content in the development of games, film and television, software and other businesses, such as the powerful 3D effect of Beenet's "Encyclopedia of the Earth", and the powerful freedom of many new games are inseparable from the support of IST.

So they are also privately called "industrial software" and "industrial games" by bee employees.

Last year's "Ah, Captain!" mobile game, as well as Monkey Sailei, which is now breaking online records, and "Wonderful Journey", which is still in closed beta, are typical examples of such games.

Although they have different themes and styles of play, they are not difficult to find common points, such as super fast development speed, and powerful and superfluous real details.

Just like the monkeys in Monkey Celery, their images are all based on the monkeys in reality, although they are exaggerated and deduced in terms of skill effects, but their images, expressions, calls, and movements are highly consistent with the prototype.

The reason for this is also easy to understand, the difficulty of painting a cat is necessarily less than that of a cat and a tiger, and painting a tiger is certainly much simpler than painting a mural dragon, the latter requires a lot of imagination, but it cannot be too detached from reality, and it is the most difficult to be a person.

For IST, there is a great incentive to do this because the content is based on real material, which reduces the time spent racking your brains to set up the design and achieves the best versatility. Of course, they also use neural network technology to create a special "style switching engine", developers can freely switch "style of painting" according to the purpose of the product and the scope of the audience, although the monkeys look real and detailed, but after the software strengthens the "style and temperament", the sense of disobedience is much smaller than that of "Mortal Kombat Touch Rtalkombat" based on real scanning.

However, the software can also do this to this extent, and for those fantasy creatures and fantasy scenes, the current version of ist is not enough. Therefore, "Wonderful Journey" was ridiculed by players as "neither strange nor wonderful, and there is no journey." ”

In fact, there are still common fantasy elements, such as flying dragons, goblins, orcs, hell, heaven, floating cities, fighting spirits, and fireballs. However, if the player spreads the wings of fantasy and tries to design the original creation, he will find that the game's main "text to image" ability level has been greatly reduced, and the barely reluctantly out content is often not in the horse's mouth, so there is a "neither strange nor wonderful" evaluation, as for the second half of the sentence "There is no brigade", but everyone is forced to put it together for the sake of a neat structure.

Fortunately, this problem mainly bothers a small number of foreign players who participate in the game, and it does not have much impact on local players like Wei Wei.

The ideographic characteristics of Chinese characters can help users better express their meanings, such as "Nine Dragons Divine Fire Cover" and "Golden Silk Big Ring Knife". And everyone also likes the inscriptions of martial arts and fairy tales more, and bees have accumulated quite a lot of money in this kind of theme, and the rich materials can naturally give players more possibilities.

Of course, the "Strange Journey" based on IST is still the most suitable for creating realistic themes, such as urban adventure, wilderness survival, animal migration and so on. This can be seen from the official release of "The Old Man and the Sea", "Survival in the Wilderness: Ice and Snow", and "Migrating Birds" three example stories, the former is adapted from Hemingway's short masterpiece, and the latter two are adapted from the corresponding film and television content, the restoration of the three single-person stories is very good, and compared with the original, there is a certain degree of interaction and freedom, which makes it easy to indulge in.

However, the reason why "addicted" is a slightly derogatory word is because he is prone to mistakes in this kind of thing.

When Liang Xinyi returned to the room for the second time, Wei Weizheng was rolling around on the bed excitedly, which made people have the urge to fight demons and shake 20.

But she didn't do anything, just quietly watched him go crazy, and then took out her phone and turned on the shooting mode. Although this kind of picture is not very beautiful, it also has a different value, since it is better to shoot it when you encounter it, you can use it as a bargaining chip or something in the future.

Soon Wei Wei dropped his mobile phone with a depressed face, and lay upright on the bed to raise his corpse. Liang Xinyi understood that someone was venting her frustration because of a gameover, so she didn't bother and continued to shoot. In fact, she also has a little regret, she should have started the live broadcast just now, so that his fox friends and dog friends can see someone's ugliness, and see if he dares to leave the old lady alone in the future?

"How's it going? Is my performance in place?" Wei Wei suddenly turned his head to look at the camera and asked.

Dr. Leung rolled his eyes and wanted to ask, "Where are you performing?"

However, she still stopped the shooting mode of her mobile phone and asked, "What kind of crazy are you doing?"

"The Year Beast is dead!"

"Huh?"

"The year beast is dead, and my last blow is gone!"

Just now, he was busy competing with Bei Ye for wilderness survival skills, but the notification bar on his mobile phone refreshed the message, saying that the Nian Beast hung up, and "Monkey Sailei" recorded a million online good results. Although mobile game manufacturers pay more attention to revenue figures such as monthly turnover (gross revenue before sharing), they will not disdain achievements such as millions online, after all, in this era of more and more games and more and more fragmented players' time, it is not difficult but not easy.

It's a pity that this good news is downright bad news for him, and this is why there was a scene of rolling on the ground before.

"So, do you need a hug to comfort you?"

"Uh-huh!" Wei Wei rolled out of bed and was about to pounce, but was nailed to the spot by his wife's sentence "It's 12 o'clock in 10 minutes". Turning around and picking up his phone to check the time, Wei Wei hurriedly went to find his coat and criticized it.

It was a busy time, and when the family of four went up to the rooftop of the building, someone downstairs had already started to set off firecrackers.

There were a lot of people on the rooftop, and you could see the lights of mobile phones on the roofs of several other buildings, apparently waiting to see the fireworks, or more precisely, waiting for the fireworks to the north.

Before Boss Ma came back, he specially ordered two truckloads of fireworks bombs, and the news of looking for a professional storage site had already spread, and everyone had been waiting for a long time to see the performance of people breaking the sky, and today it was finally there.

The smell of gunpowder smoke wafted up downstairs, and there were more fires and crackling sounds faintly in the distance.

Sure enough, when the countdown of "543" was faintly heard downstairs, everyone saw a slender fire appear in the northern sky, which immediately exploded into a blooming golden chrysanthemum.

This is also the norm of fireworks bombs, either chrysanthemums or dandelions, it is nothing more than changing the color and luminescence time by adjusting the metal components in the formula. As for other irregular patterns, although there are also them, the difficulty and cost are very high, such as the cool 29 big footprints at the opening ceremony of the 08 Olympic Games, only the last one is real, and the other 28 are the effects of special effects synthesis, the purpose is to fear that the real effect is not as expected.

Even so, everyone was still very emotional to see the colorful fireworks exploding in the nearby sky, after all, what you see on TV is better than what you see with your own eyes.

Beside Wei Wei, Wei's father suddenly sighed faintly: "Alas, in the past, when several state-owned enterprises in the county were still prosperous, fireworks were often organized on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month every year, but it was ......."

"What are you talking about?" Mother Wei suddenly interrupted, "Old man, look!"

In the northern sky, a red-faced and yellow-haired monkey face is spreading.
