Chapter 39 The First Expo (Part II)
Zhang Lexing looked all the way along the aisle between the booths, and looked at the booths of nearly 20 domestic exhibitors in a row, and there were only four or five that could make him feel that his eyes were bright, such as "The Decisive Battle of North Korea" under development by Xishanju, "New Century Empire" under development with target software, "Between Life and Death 2 Doomsday Tales" being developed by Creative Eagle Studio, and "Murderous Spirit" being developed by Octopus Studio , although it is not a rare masterpiece, but at least in some aspects it still shows some bright spots.
Moving on, the few booths that appeared again were about three to four large as before, and the scale was relatively much larger, Zhang Lexing looked up at the factory logo of the booth, it turned out that this was Zhiguan Technology, Spectrum Boshuo, and the third wave of game companies from Taiwan. Zhiguan Technology put out 10 computers to show some of the games they have represented and developed, including "Phantom World" and "Shattered Void" with 3D graphics as a gimmick, etc., and surprisingly, they actually have two PS game consoles that are playing an unknown game animation, which looks like they are planning to enter PS game development.
Spectrum Boshuo's booth is the smallest among several Taiwanese game companies, and there are few games on display, almost only the "Magic World", which is known as "the first network connection monopoly in history", in order to show its network connection function, the staff of Spectrum also set up a small local area network for players to experience on site. The third wave, as always, is all agency games, and as for independent development, they haven't known that kind of taste for many years.
Passing through the exhibition area of Taiwanese game companies, you will be greeted by a huge booth, almost completely occupying the remaining part of Area A, which is a joint exhibition area built by Zhang Lexing's domestic investment game companies, including Creative Workshop, Tianzhiyuan (Shanghai), Tianzhiyuan (Fuzhou), and the subordinate game studios belonging to these three companies, such as Iron Blood Studio and Yuebai Studio, which are managed by Creative Workshop, as well as game studios spun off from these three companies, Independent game companies, such as Haizhijiao Entertainment Software Co., Ltd., Origin Software, Qin Studio and Oriental Studio, which were spun off from Tianzhiyuan (Shanghai), Shanghai Hongjun and Guangzhou Tianyou which were spun off from Creative Studio, etc.
For the sake of resource sharing, these companies have set up booths together, but they are divided into two areas according to the different game platforms, with more than 30 networked PCs on one side to display computer games in development, and also for players to try them out on the spot, and on the other side there are more than a dozen PS, N64 game consoles and large-screen TVs to display games on home consoles, which are also available for players to try out on the spot.
When Zhang Le walked to the joint booth, some early visitors had already taken the lead, and the PCs and game consoles for players to experience on the spot had already been occupied, and there was even a waiting line of about thirty or forty people, and there were also a lot of people waiting to get promotional materials and game peripherals next to the booth, and several staff members were mechanically repeating the actions of registration, sending information, and sending game peripherals.
Wang Mengyao looked at the crowd gathered around the joint booth, turned her head and pointed to Area B, and said, "Boss, there are quite a lot of people here, why don't we go to the opposite side first." ”
Zhang Lexing glanced at the joint booth again, where the crowd of onlookers was not only not less, but it seemed that there were more, so he nodded: "Okay, go to the opposite side first." ”
The group continued along the aisle, and when they were about to reach the end, Zhang Lexing noticed that there was a booth next to it, but it didn't seem to be clearly marked which company it belonged to. He glanced at it, turned his head and asked, "Meng Yao, what is this booth?"
"Hmm......" Wang Mengyao turned her head to look at it, and replied, "Boss, this is the place you asked Chairman Zhao to help you stay, the booth of the game console." ”
Zhang Lexing took a closer look and said, "But this looks ......."
"This is the plan planned by the company's planning department, and they feel that this method is the most economical and effective in the current domestic environment, and it can also achieve the purpose of confidentiality to a certain extent. Wang Mengyao explained.
"yes, I hope it really works. Zhang Lexing looked at it again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look." ”
The group continued along the aisle and walked towards Zone B on the other side......
The exhibition soon entered the third day, from the morning of the previous day, the game expo was officially open to ordinary audiences, as long as you buy a ticket of 10 yuan to enter, so Li Wenbo, who has been brewing for a long time, called his old classmate Wu Yufei, planning to visit the Beijing Exhibition Center together, but things did not go as smoothly as he thought.
Wu Yufei raised his wrist and looked at his watch, there were only three minutes left before the opening time of nine o'clock in the morning, and the ticket gate had already begun to check the ticket for admission, but Li Wenbo, who was said to come early, was nowhere to be found, so he was so anxious that he could only keep walking around outside the ticket gate, and occasionally look up. After walking around for about four or five minutes, Wu Yufei saw a taxi stop outside the gate of the exhibition hall with a "squeak", and then someone pushed open the door and rushed over.
"Doctor, I said why did you come, look what time it is. Far away, Wu Yufei gestured at his watch and urged: "Look, everyone has already entered." ”
Li Wenbo replied while running desperately: "Hi~, I also want to come early." I heard that people said that it was not good to park here, so I didn't ride a motorcycle, and I deliberately took a taxi over, but I didn't expect it to be blocked in the middle of the road. Lao Wu, have you bought a ticket?"
"I bought it, I saw that you haven't come, I know there must be a situation, so I bought it early. Wu Yufei took out two tickets from his pocket and shook them, then pointed to the long queue in front of the ticket office with his hand: "Look, I'm waiting for you to come, I don't know when I can get in." ”
Running in front of Wu Yufei in one breath, Li Wenbo couldn't wait to reach out to get the ticket before he could catch his breath. Wu Yufei shrank his hand and said, "Don't be in a hurry to be like this, just mix the qi evenly and let's go in together." ”
Li Wenbo took a few deep breaths, his breath stabilized a little, and he couldn't wait to drag Wu Yufei to go inside.
"I said, why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Yufei asked while handing the ticket in his hand to the staff.
"Hey~ I heard people say that there is an opening performance that is very exciting, it seems to start at nine o'clock and five minutes or ten minutes, isn't it almost time. Li Wenbo explained.
"Cowardly~ You didn't say it earlier. After taking the cut ticket from the staff, Wu Yufei pulled Li Wenbo and ran to the entrance.
Relying on the foundation left over from the university, the two successfully ran into the exhibition hall at 9:05 and came to the stage where the "opening performance" was held in Li Wenbo's mouth. Wu Yufei supported his two knees with his hands, opened his mouth and breathed desperately, the image of Li Wenbo next to him was even worse, not only his face was flushed, but the breathing sound was like pulling a bellows. While trying to adjust their breathing, the two looked up at the stage, just at this time the music sounded, and more than a dozen handsome men and women dressed up on the stage in different costumes, three by two with the rhythm of various poses.
"Doctor, is this the 'opening performance' you mentioned?" Wu Yufei looked at the stage, gasping for breath, and turned his head to ask.
"Ah, I guess so. Li Wenbo also looked at the stage, and a feeling of disappointment arose.
"Timid~ what, isn't it the one we saw in the club before, what ......" Wu Yufei tilted his head and tried to recall.
Li Wenbo reminded: "It should be cosplay!"
"Yes, yes, it's cosplay. Wu Yufei nodded repeatedly, then sighed and said, "This doesn't look very good, doctor, let's look at something else, maybe we can see some new games." ”
"Okay, go to ......" Li Wenbo took out the visit guide he had just taken and looked at it, and then pointed to the left with his hand: "Go this way, let's go to see the domestic game company first." ”
……
The route Zhang Le walked was somewhat similar to the previous two days, and the two came to Area A along the aisle first. After several years of edification, Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei's vision of watching games is relatively high, but as a result, there are few games that can be seen by the two of them, fortunately, there are still many booths in front, plus the creative workshop and Fengyun Interaction have not appeared, and the hearts of the two are still full of expectations.
Further on,There are booths of several Taiwanese game companies,The area is a little larger than the previous companies,But the games on display still look quite ordinary,That is, the third wave of the Chinese version of several games "Armored Commander", "Sword Soul" and "Atlantis" are still a bit interesting.
Walking through the booth of the Taiwanese company, the two of them were greeted by a very large area, almost as large as the sum of the previous booths, exquisite small stage, huge display screens, strange glass houses and chic interior buildings, coupled with the endless flow of people, all of which are very different from the slightly deserted booths in front of them, and the most eye-catching thing in this area is the huge game posters set up on the heights.
"Look," Li Wenbo pointed to the poster in the distance with his hand and said, "Old Wu, it seems to be the legendary "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3". ”
"Oh," Wu Yufei looked fixedly, and there was a man with ethereal eyes standing with a sword on a poster with a quaint background, and it was written next to it "Looking for a fairy trail in the vast Shu Mountain, and it is difficult to break the love with a sword", looking at the style It really seems to be "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".
Wu Yufei's gaze followed the poster to the side, and a poster of a robot in the background of the universe attracted his attention. He looked at it carefully for a while, and suddenly patted Li Wenbo beside him, and shouted excitedly: "Doctor, look to the side, it looks like Gundam!"
Li Wenbo was admiring a poster called "Special Warfare Heroes" at this time, and when he heard Wu Yufei's shout full of surprise, he turned his head to look over, and sure enough, it was really a Gundam, and it was also his favorite GX-9901-DX airframe piloted by Carrot Lang.
After looking at the poster for a while, the two continued to walk forward, wanting to see what those glass houses and interior buildings were for. didn't go far, and suddenly a surprise shout came from the side: "Doctor, old Wu, why are you here?"
Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei were stunned for a moment, and then looked in the direction where the voice came, but they didn't expect that the person who called them turned out to be Zhao Wei, who they hadn't seen for a while.
"Why are you here?" Li Wenbo stepped forward and asked curiously.
"Yes, didn't you go to study at Fengyun Game Academy?" Wu Yufei also followed and asked suspiciously.
"I went to Fengyun Game Academy, but I've graduated now. How is it," Zhao Wei spread his hands and turned around, and asked, "It looks pretty good, right?" ”
"Well...... Li Wenbo looked at it, nodded and said, "Not bad, it's a bit of a white-collar beauty." ”
"Go, what a white-collar beauty. Zhao Wei pushed Li Wenbo with a smile and a smile.
"Weizi, where are you working now?" Wu Yufei asked.
"I was lucky enough to be picked by the creative workshop, and now I'm a full-time employee. Zhao Wei replied with a smug face.
"Hey, you're a good kid, it seems that we want to play any good games in the future, we are counting on you. Li Wenbo patted Zhao Wei's shoulder and said with a smile.
"That is, whatever game you want to play in the future, our buddies will do it for you. Zhao Wei patted his chest proudly.
"Weizi, since you have entered the creative workshop, what are you doing now?" Wu Yufei asked curiously on the side.
"Oh, come to the Game Expo. Zhao Wei said casually, and then began to introduce the display area here: "This is the joint booth of several companies such as Creative Workshop and Tianzhiyuan, these glass houses on the west side are the trial area for computer games, and the game trial area for PS and N64 game consoles is on the east side, if you are interested, I will help you get two numbers, you can play for half an hour." Or you can check out the game showcases, and although you can't play them yourself, you can still see a lot of good game demos in development. Or you can go to the two stations over there to get game promotional materials and game peripherals, and bring the latest game demo discs. Otherwise, wait for more than ten minutes, and our performance will start soon. ”
While the three of them were talking, someone suddenly shouted: "Zhao Wei, come here and help!"
Zhao Wei had no choice but to show an apologetic expression and said, "I'm sorry, buddy, I'm going over to help." ”
"Weizi, you can get busy first. Li Wenbo waved his hand and said, "Let's go around by ourselves." ”
"Alright, I'll go to you later. Zhao Wei nodded, turned around and left.
Wu Yufei glanced at Zhao Wei who walked away, turned his head and asked, "How about it, where do we go first?"
"Let's go over there first, and come back later, and then we can ask Weizi to get us a trial number." Li Wenbo waved his hand and led the way to the side.
