Chapter 255: Showbot
Coming out of the noisy No. 1 hall, there was a sudden silence in his ears, Zhou Rui stood in the square and looked at the players who were talking and laughing with their bags, but the overturned five-flavor bottle was spilling all kinds of flavors in his heart, and he didn't know how to comment at all.
Not far behind him, across the wall, is the booth of his old employer, Jiucun, and opposite Jiucun is the culprit who snatched the "Internet addiction tumor" and caused him to be abandoned by Jiucun.
It seems that it is because exhibitors agree that Hall 1 is the place where first-class large enterprises should stay, in addition to the Jiucun of "donkey death does not fall" and the net pig of "the hatred of taking his wife", there are Brother Qiao's SD, Brother Zhu's Zhengtu, Brother Xiaoma's penguin, non-mainstream Jiuyou, and PW time and space and the former old software company Bawang Software.
Speaking of which, the "eight giants" in Hall 1 are also full of new and old grudges against each other, and there are some grievances between the two companies that are almost face-to-face. For example, Zhengtu OL, which Zhengtu Company thought was a fortune, was the development team of a national war online game under SD that jumped to Boss Shi, and then recreated it under his guidance and customization. After Zhengtu became popular, although SD also pushed the semi-finished online games left by the "Zhengtu team" to the market, the result was little response.
At that time, the bubble gum agent of the penguin cottage SD launched the penguin candy that was extremely similar to the operation and painting style, and was once sued by the SD co-developer, but it was a shameful defeat, and the court said that the arrow keys moved the character space bar to put bubbles and fried people The gameplay was not protected. It seems to be encouraged by this verdict, the cottage soul of the penguin family has completely awakened, and since then it has embarked on a copycat road of "you have me, and you have one-click login to be freer", and launched a lot of copycat versions of popular games, including the imitation version of the housekeeping game dance troupe opposite Jiuyou.
However, for Jiuyou, the penguin's x5 is just one of the many dancing games that follow the trend, and it can be said that there are more lice and no itching, but another guy surnamed "Nine" has robbed them of the agency of the second generation of the dance troupe, and even further seeks to seize the agency of the dance troupe in their hands.
Of course, these are old grievances, and in the past few months, the most eye-catching thing in the online game circle is the Internet addiction war that Netpig snatched the agency of Warcraft from Jiucun.
Every time he talked about this incident, Zhou Rui couldn't help but smile bitterly, in the whole thing, he and his colleagues were just cannon fodder who couldn't help themselves, but he didn't know it at the time, and he was almost pitted miserably!
At the beginning, the agency of Warcraft was robbed, and Wangzhu said that in addition to taking over the player's data, he could also take over the server and operation team of Jiucun, and even directly opened the operation center of Warcraft next door to Jiucun, putting on a posture of changing jobs without changing the working environment. However, Wangzhu's "conspiracy attempt" did not succeed, and Jiucun said that "my Xiaobawang server has strong performance and high value, so it will not be sold at half price", and likewise has no intention of transferring their Warcraft project team employees.
However, when the net pig found new people from all over the country to start training, he once swore that "no layoffs, no salary cuts", and played "nine x and you share honor and disgrace" against the "" banner hanging outside the building next door Jiucun immediately changed his face, and a large number of customer service GM got a month's notice to be on the job, and then it was terminated by agreement one after another. Jiucun is tantamount to using an extra two months' salary to disgust Netpig, so that the opponent loses the opportunity to take over the complete Warcraft operation team, so as to quickly start the service and make money immediately.
Fortunately, Zhou Rui's luck is not bad, although QQ Tangran was not able to join the net pig to join the legendary Brother Riqiang, but he was also fortunate to join another legendary bee network, in short, it was better than before in Jiucun. Just now, he left Hall 3 of the Bee Group's exhibition and ran to Hall 1, saying that he was visiting his old colleagues, but in fact, he did not have the meaning of showing off the meaning of returning to his hometown and crossing the streets.
The Shanghai branch of Bee Games was newly established this year. With more than two years of operation, "Daming OL" Becoming more and more bloated,Larger and larger high-definition scene maps and a large number of new ways to play make the total volume of the game client break through50GB mark,Even with intelligent client technology, players can customize the client as needed,But players still have a lot of grievances about the overly large client,Plus although the game is known as the national server, but in fact, it is only 50,000 people who can interact completely effectively with the regional server,The number of people in the country is actually no obvious difference from those 5000 online games after being diverted by a large number of gameplay。 Therefore, in order to enhance the game experience of players, since the beginning of this year, Bee has successively split its games, and split the various gameplay methods that were originally embedded in "Daming OL" into separate operations, and each different gameplay such as the Battlefield of the Gods and the Three Realms Racing have become independent into specialized battle games and casual racing games, and have obtained independent clients and dedicated operation teams, which can also enable players and operation teams to concentrate on a game. In order to cooperate with this "separation" action, Bee also "entered Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou" for the first time, and established special operation centers in these three super first-tier metropolises, mainly responsible for online and offline customer service.
At that time, Zhou Rui, a senior customer service who had just been terminated by Jiucun, "happened" to see the recruitment notice of Bee Games when he was looking for jobs on several recruitment websites, and he was quite interested in this "cold monster" company, so he submitted a resume, and as a result, his senior experience in Warcraft GM helped him get a job at the Bee Games Huhai Player Center. One of the first major tasks he received after joining the company was to participate in CJ exhibitions at the Bee Group. Responsible for the group's various offline exhibitions and display activities in Shanghai, which is also a fixed responsibility of the Shanghai branch.
I have to say that bees live up to their nickname of "cold monsters", and they always like to be different. "Gao Leng Wei" is the abbreviation of "high-end, cold, weird", and the three adjectives are the views of the outside world, especially colleagues in the IT circle and related media, on bees. This company can always come up with some high-end technology that seems bluffing, but it is very cold about the promotion of products and the building of various relationships, and seems to be satisfied with just making money. In the past three years, I don't know how many professional managers and operation planners have submitted letters to Bee to self-recommend, saying that if they appoint themselves as COO or even CEO, they will guarantee that they can double Bee in one year, go public in two years, and be among the top ten in three years, but these cover letters have only been politely formatted and rejected in the end. And without these experienced and super executive people to join, the bees themselves stumble around and stumble at an amazing speed, which has to be said to be an irony.
After a while, Zhou Rui still raised his feet and walked to Hall 3, where the Bee Group was located.
Different from Hall 1, which is "full of giants" and "first echelon", Hall 3 is home to a variety of small and medium-sized companies, and there are also cosplay carnival venues and game competition venues. The bee chose Hall 3 because of the wide space here, and it may have to go to a relatively large booth, as for the remoteness, there is no need to worry about it at all, and the constant flow of people there at the moment speaks for itself.
Bee Group, which occupies a large booth, although it exhibited in the form of a group, the actual exhibition was still dominated by two subsidiaries, Bee Games and Bee Electronics, the former showcasing its games and the latter exhibiting various consumer electronic products.
Thanks to the previous "spin-off" action, the logo wall presented on both sides of the big screen does not need to be full of the word Daming like last year, but there are more icons such as Huashan Lunjian, Seven Seas Overlord, My Peach Blossom Island and so on. And in the middle of the largest LED screen in the audience, a scuffle between ten players on the booth is being broadcast live in real time at this moment. Of course, it is not a hand-to-hand fight with fists to the flesh, but a virtual battle between them wearing the second-generation dreamwalkers and standing in the omnidirectional treadmill.
VR somatosensory operation mode puts forward higher requirements for the player's physical fitness at the same time, but also makes the game more exciting, the traditional keyboard and mouse operation mode player character's actions are limited by dozens or even a few instructions to death, players say that all they can do is to select these instructions for their arrangement to continue successively, the monotony of the choice gave birth to the "face rolling keyboard", "battle" players only need to press the 145 number keys on the keyboard in order, and the cycle repeats until the target enemy dies. This monotonous mode of operation has also given rise to the abuse of operation simulation software such as key wizard software and plug-ins. However, the operation mode of most players on the left-handed keyboard and right-hand mouse determines that it is not suitable to arrange too many shortcuts on the keyboard.
And if you use somatosensory control, there is naturally no 145 that you can't remember if you don't press enough, your fist is the character's fist, and it's no longer a fantasy to point to where to fight, so the ten-person melee picture presented on the big screen is much more exciting than the battle screen in other games, and even professional action martial arts movies and television dramas are not as good as it.
Thanks to the long-term experience accumulation of renovating second- and third-rate costume dramas and anti-Japanese dramas, Atletico Madrid's Jiajing film and television team has accumulated a lot of experience in martial arts and gunfight action design, to be precise, action beautification experience. Because it is a complete post-production, they don't need to worry about the action actors not being able to do it, they don't have to worry about risk control, and they don't have to worry about the post-production cost, they just need to use their brains to design good-looking and better-looking action special effects pictures, and then form a storyboard script and hand it over to Atletico Madrid, and after a while, they can see the crazy fight scenes that scare people to death.
This exciting and good-looking crazy action design style has also been introduced into the bee game, but in the keyboard and mouse mode, because of the complexity of the operation, you can only use the method of "AI intelligent selection of actions", and only by standing in the omnidirectional treadmill and using the somatosensory operation mode can you really realize the fight from fist to meat leg and leg life.
On the booth, the ten players each walked in a small circle of omnidirectional treadmills, sweating like rain, and on the big screen, the game characters they controlled were also sweating profusely, making sparks splash with rubble and blood.
For safety reasons and the arrangement of cameras, action movies rarely shoot coherent fight scenes, and most of the actual shooting is done to break down the action, relying on sharp and short editing in the later stage to create a tense and exciting visual experience for the audience. But if you look closely, you will find that there are dozens of heroes on the screen, how it seems that every moment is only fighting with one minion, and everyone else is holding weapons and circling around, picking up and moving bricks slightly.
These problems naturally do not exist in the game, and virtual actors will not have the problem of being injured in filming, and it is no problem to use their imagination to toss as much as they want. However, due to the limitations of the physics engine and the way of operation, the fights in most games still give people a very fake feeling, and the battles between the game characters are always expressionless, which greatly reduces the player's sense of substitution and excitement.
And here, players and visitors who accidentally walk to the last booth at the end of the exhibition will find that the group battle picture presented on the big screen here is very tragic and exciting: a man in Tsing Yi just swung his sword to force back the opponent opposite, but accidentally broke away from the protection range of his teammates, and was instantly besieged by people from the front and left and right sides, and he couldn't regret it with three steel swords stuck in his chest and back, and the corners of his mouth were bloody and clamped the three swords with force, and the three weapons could not be pulled out for a while, and then he rushed forward half a step forward and stabbed his sword into the chest of the opposite person, and the two rolled together but died together。
Zhou Rui looked up at the battle screen on the screen, and shook his head slightly, "Strawberry milk or something is too inconsistent!"
For the sake of river crabs, the blood material resources in the Chinese simplified version of the game have been replaced with a pink texture similar to strawberry milk juice, and the blood sprayed out of the character's injury from the seven tips of the mouth and nose and the wound is light powder, which will not stick to the walls and trees after splashing on the ground, but will become a round jelly-like particle, gently bouncing on the ground. Similarly, the headshot and severed limbs in the game will also be treated by the river crab with "cartoon violence", and the severed limbs and skulls will immediately turn into gray-white plaster casts, and will be instantly shattered when they fall to the ground, even if they have severed fingers, ears and noses.
This is a compromise measure that has to be taken, after all, Warcraft, which is synonymous with "violent games", is now being produced by the god of the summer because of the bloody violence of the content. Although Bee Games is a pure domestic-funded enterprise, it is much more relaxed than the Warcraft imported by foreign investors in terms of the review and approval of cultural products, but it can't find its own death, and the river crab that should be done still has to be done.
Of course, the player himself privately extracts the resource files of Hong Kong and Taiwan Chinese traditional Chinese to replace it, then there is no way, after all, the client may be modified at any time on the player's computer, and it is too time-consuming and laborious to review and verify all art resources, and there is no such practice in the industry.
The host came out to continue to interact with the audience, calling on interested players to go to the bar on the left to line up to sign up, and the next round of passers-by PK competition will start when ten people are full.
"Please pay attention to the order when queuing, don't talk to our reception robot about topics unrelated to bee's products, and don't reach out and touch them, they have anti-wolf static electricity!" The host suddenly turned around and pointed to the right and said.
"Haha!" The audience was guided by him to look in the direction of their left, and saw a boy in a red T-shirt suddenly tremble, no doubt this guy was electrocuted by the anti-wolf system.
After really joining Bee, Zhou Rui was surprised to find that the Bee Group was even more "cold" than rumored by the outside world. Like at this moment, players are eager to try and want to reach out and touch it from time to time, to determine whether it is a real person pretending to be a reception robot, in fact, as early as the headquarters of Ludao "Bee Garden" has long been used, from the front desk reception to the logistics shop are all handed over to these reception robots to manage, and the company also encourages employees to make friends with the robot, brush goodwill, and the front desk relationship is good, you can make an appointment to clock in advance and will not be late, and the logistics relationship is good, some drinks and pastries will be sent to you, so many benefits.
Because he once went to the headquarters to visit the training of these magical robots left a deep impression on him, when the Huhai Player Center has not yet recruited enough manpower but took over the task of hosting the group's CJ exhibition, Zhou Rui pointed to the meeting minutes in the corner of the wall on the internal proposal meeting and said: "Since the time is late, the qualified Showgirls and models here in Huhai have been ordered by other companies, why don't we use them to create our Show Wave?"
The so-called Show T display robot is actually to replace the company's parallel two-wheel motion system that relies on Segway-like balance bikes with human legs and feet, after all, so that they can wear cosplay clothes and play game roles. After receiving the request from Huhai, Bee Electronics said that there was no problem at all, and it was sent soon.
These show wave T have a very close to human appearance and action system, and with the blessing of the intelligent voice system, it is really difficult for ordinary people to distinguish whether it is a real person. Of course, as long as you look at it for a while, you can easily find the anomaly and confirm that it is not a real person, after all, how can a real person stand motionless in one place for hours?
Bee's show wave t shocked the Internet as soon as it appeared yesterday, and the Internet was overwhelmingly "sending pictures for identification" posts and discussions, and the offline venue also attracted many tourists to watch and take a group photo, whether it was the pink legion selected by the fox family, or the blue diamond army of the penguin family were overshadowed in front of these robots. In the past two days, they have been crowded with tourists and taking photos, and it was not until today that the exhibition entered the end of the last day that they were a little free.
It was not only the bees and show waves that were a hit, but also Zhou Rui, the person in charge, who was very grateful to the capricious rule of "whoever proposes is responsible" within Bee. After the end of this CJ, he will no longer be an ordinary customer service team leader, he will be transferred to the group's intelligent robot department, responsible for the promotion of intelligent robots. The promotion is imminent, and when Zhou Ruicai's exhibition is about to end, he takes advantage of the lunch break to go to the old owner of Hall 1 to "visit" his old colleagues.
