Chapter 105: The End of the WCG
After a simple lunch, Zhang Lexing continued to chat with several screenwriters about the script requirements for a while, and when they were sent away, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, when there was a knock on the door outside the reception room.
"Boss, it's Mr. Chen from Fengyun Interactive who is here. Wang Mengyao walked over, leaned down and said in Zhang Lexing's ear.
"Well," Zhang Lexing waved his hand and said, "Let her in." β
"Yes, boss. After speaking, Wang Mengyao straightened up and came to the door of the reception room, stretched out her hand to open the door, Chen Jingyi walked in and nodded at her, and then came to the sofa and stood up.
Chen Jingyi folded her hands together in front of her, and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Boss, I'm sorry, I'll trouble you again later." β
Zhang Lexing beckoned to Chen Jingyi and motioned for her to be on the sofa: "Sit down and say, let's drink some tea first." β
"Don't bother, I'll check it out later. Chen Jingyi shook her head with a tired smile on her face: "Boss, I'm here to tell you." β
"It's okay, I'll go then. It's half-past two, right? β
"Yes, boss. Then if there's nothing to do, please, I'll go and get busy first. β
"You go first!" Zhang Lexing waved his hand.
Chen Jingyi turned around and left, Zhang Lexing thought about it, and called Wang Mengyao over again: "Mengyao, are the things you want to use ready later?"
"Well......" Wang Mengyao thought for a moment, and then replied: "It's ready, I went to see it in the morning, the thing is not bad, it looks exquisite, and the text on it is very clear." β
Zhang Lexing breathed a sigh of relief, he was going to present awards to the champions of each event in the WCG World Finals this afternoon, and he didn't have to worry about the runner-up or something, there was another award presenter in charge. However, in order to attract more attention and enhance the influence of WCG by the way, this award link naturally can't be too sloppy, according to Zhang Lexing's idea, since it is planned to be the Olympic Games in the game industry, then the gold, silver and bronze medals of the winners must not be less, in addition, in order to enhance the visual impact, the championship bonus also has to make a large check model, these are part of the preparation work he cares about, as for the other parts Chen Jingyi has been arranged in advance, and all he has to do is to go downstairs when the time comes.
β¦β¦
Time came to half past two in the afternoon, at this time Zhang Lexing was already in the square in front of the game museum, he stood in the special lounge on the side of the stage, watching the hosts on the stage Lin Musen, Yan Yuxin, Duan Xuan and Lu Qiuya are summarizing the WCG games these days, and soon their topic turned to the awards.
"Next, I invite today's mysterious guest to present today's first award......" Accompanied by Lu Qiuya's introduction, a dense drum beat came from the speaker, which whetted the appetite of the audience at the scene and in front of the TV. At this time, Zhang Lexing had already come to the lifting platform under the stage from the special passage, and as soon as the drum stopped, the lifting platform also rose.
"Today's guest is...... Mr. Zhang Lexing, Chairman of the WCG Organizing Committee!" Lin Musen took Lu Qiuya's unfinished words and introduced in an impassioned tone.
At the same time, Zhang Lexing happened to appear on the stage, and many people in the audience and in front of the TV couldn't help but shout, no more than five years ago, with the continuous reports of various media, including portals, almost no one knew who the man on the stage was. Before the opening of the WCG, although the name of Zhang Lexing was clearly written on the chairman's position, and even accompanied by a photo, in the eyes of most people, this was just a name, and the richest man in the world must be very busy, so he had time to participate in this kind of pastime. After the opening of the WCG, as many people expected, the president did not appear at the opening ceremony, and even more so during the subsequent competition, but he suddenly jumped out at the final award ceremony, which was too unexpected for some people.
Some people have always been unaccustomed to such things as games, and in their opinion, playthings can only be demoralized, and it is better for people not to do other boring things besides studying and working, especially minors. In the eyes of these people, the video games of the past (generally referring to arcades, Nintendo red and white machines, etc.), and the current computer games are all "electronic (sea) (Luo) factors" aimed at the flowers of the motherland, and they are the big poisonous weeds that harm the next generation, and they must be resolutely and completely eliminated, but the media that control public opinion do not quite accept their views, at least there are no newspapers and magazines that are willing to publish their articles criticizing games.
I didn't expect that since last year, the game has become more intensified, and there are still profit-hungry companies that use bonuses to lure more people to play games, and what global competitions will be held, not counting the children in their own country, but also to harm foreign children, so some people can't sit still, they are ready to have an in-depth understanding of how this so-called WCG competition operates, and then find an opportunity to expose its harmful nature, but the admission ticket is not so easy to get, fortunately, the TV station has a live broadcast of WCG, which makes them not blindγ
Mr. The richest man in the world has not shown up, which has made some people think more in their heads, and they think that maybe this can also be used as a reason to criticize the game, such as "the evil nature of the game is avoided by the richest man", "the richest man is invisible, and WCG is abandoned" and so on, which is definitely enough to attract people's attention. But now that the other party has shown up, their little abacus can't go on, but some people haven't given up yet, because he feels that he has found a loophole in the WCG game, and he believes that as long as he makes a move, he will be a big success, and then he will be a national or even world celebrity, and the money beauties will naturally roll in.
Zhang Lexing, who was not clear about the thoughts of some people in front of the TV, was hanging the gold medals sent by Miss Manners one by one to the necks of the STK team members who won the championship of "Special Warfare Heroes", and then stuffed a mock check with $60,000 written on it to the captain of the STK team.
Immediately afterwards, other award presenters appeared, and with the cooperation of the hostesses, medals and bonuses were awarded to the runners-up and third-place winners of "Special Warfare Heroes", of course, the treatment was still a little worse than that of the champions. After awarding the award for the "Special Warfare Heroes" project, the next thing is the "Three Kingdoms 3" project, and the players who have just finished receiving the award in "Special Warfare Heroes" have already rushed off the stage, and they still have an important task to complete, and they need to hurry up to prepare.
When the gold medal was hung on the neck of the team members who won the championship of the "Three Kingdoms 3" project, and when he and Hu Binguo, the captain of the team, held a mock check for a prize of 60,000 US dollars, Zhang Lexing felt that his mood was obviously much more comfortable than before, and even the smile on his face was a little more sincere, which may be because the championship fell into the hands of the Chinese people.
β¦β¦
After awarding the award of the "Three Kingdoms 3" project, Zhang Lexing returned to the upstairs reception room to rest, and the other award presenters and hostesses also withdrew, and the stage was immediately emptied, and the huge projection screen was put down again, and it didn't take long for the familiar "Special Warfare Heroes" game screen to appear on the screen.
Lu Ze sat in the audience area and looked at the projection screen on the stage intently, speaking of which he was quite pitiful, he planned to watch the WCG live game early, and for this purpose, he also found a job in Beijing, but he missed the game in front of the WCG as a cocoon, and when he worked overtime to complete the test work, it was already the evening of August 25th, fortunately, Xu Wenming, the boss of the department, saw him pitiful and gave him a ticket to WCG.
Finally able to go to the scene to watch the WCG game, Lu Ze, who watched the "StarCraft" finals on TV at night, has been in a state of excitement, and he hasn't slept much all night, but he didn't hold on to it when it was almost dawn and fell asleep, and when he woke up again, this unlucky child had overslept. In a hurry, he didn't even bother to eat breakfast Lu Ze rushed out of the door, thinking that there was still a chance to see the next two finals, but who knew that he ran into a traffic jam again, and when he finally moved to the Times Fashion Building, the morning game had come to an end, and he didn't understand anything before it was over.
Fortunately, Lu Ze heard a good news, it is said that there will be an exhibition match in the afternoon, although it is not an official game, but it can be regarded as a scene, in this case, he can only make do with it. After hastily eating lunch, in order not to have any accidents, Lu Ze came to the audience area early and sat down, waiting to watch the exhibition game in the afternoon. Waiting left and right, waiting until he was almost seated as a statue, at three o'clock in the afternoon the picture finally appeared on the projection screen of the stage.
A few lines of big words ""Special Warfare Heroes" exhibition match, China Star United vs World Star Team" flashed, accompanied by dynamic music, the exhibition match officially began. Unlike the official 5vs5 matches, in order to be entertaining, the Heroes of the Operators exhibition matches feature larger maps and new patches, with up to 48 participants, as well as the addition of some combat vehicles (including motorized rubber boats, jeeps, trucks, and even armored personnel carriers), and the use of weapons (in addition to regular pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles, light and heavy machine guns, In addition to sniper rifles, special weapons such as powerful bazookas and hard-to-move anti-materiel sniper rifles have been added.)
In order to fully display the large-scale battle of 24 vs. 24 people, two projection screens were temporarily installed on the stage, and a projector was added to show the battle from the perspective of the Chinese Star Team and the World Star Team at the same time, while the large-screen TV under the stage displayed the dynamic map of the situation of the two sides of the battle at any time.
β¦β¦
Xu Yan is the temporary commander of the Chinese Star United, and after about two hours of preliminary run-in with BOT program training in the morning, everyone has established a certain tacit understanding, so that they will not be blinded when fighting. In the first game, the Chinese Star Wing is on the defensive, and they need to hold the factory in the middle of the map for 30 minutes or be able to wipe out the invading enemy.
As soon as the map opened, Xu Yan came up with a defensive plan in a short time, with a wide entrance area to the east of the factory, a wharf to the south, a barbed wire fence to the west, and a wharf to the north. The entrance area to the east has good defensive positions and defensive weapons, and the west has two strong defensive towers (with heavy machine guns), Xu Yan believes that there is no need to invest too many troops in defense, and the focus should be on the north and south docks, which are vulnerable to enemy attacks.
Xu Yan arranged four people in the east, two people in the west, a complete squad defense was placed on the north and south piers, two snipers occupied the top floor of the factory building, two bazooka fighters stayed in the central area and were ready to support the enemy attack direction at any time, and finally two people drove the armored vehicles in the factory as a reserve as a mobile force.
As soon as the deployment of troops was adjusted, the battle began, but slightly to Xu Yan's expectations, the World Star United chose the main direction of attack at the main entrance of the factory. Under the cover of an armored vehicle, several figures appeared about three or four hundred meters from the entrance, and from time to time bullets hit the gate or the fortifications near the entrance.
"At three o'clock on the map, an armored personnel carrier, four people, two M16A4 assault rifles, one M60E4 general-purpose machine gun, and one other person with unknown weapons...... The enemy's offensive firepower is fierce and needs heavy fire support......" The observation post at the entrance reported the situation through a headset.
Now that the enemy has played the first card, Xu Yan knows that this must be a tentative attack by the other party, otherwise there would not be only five people (one person is needed to drive an armored personnel carrier), but with the fortifications at the door, if there is no armored personnel carrier, it will definitely be able to block it.
"Mobile group, transport a bazooka player to the entrance, and look for an opportunity to destroy the opponent's armored vehicle...... Juniper, map at three o'clock, knock out that M60E4 general-purpose machine gun...... VMs are on standby, ready to support other directions...... The defense group at the entrance launched a defensive shot, the other team members were in place, and the observation post paid attention to the surrounding movements&......" Xu Yan gave an order through the headset and adjusted the deployment of the defense slightly.
β¦β¦
Lu Ze, sitting in the audience area, felt like he was watching a war blockbuster, whether it was the defending side of the Chinese Star United or the attacking side of the World Star Team, both sides were constantly adjusting their deployment, the World Star United as the attacker tried to find the weak point of the opponent's defense, while the defending Chinese Star United team tried to find the opponent's main offensive direction. One will be the Chinese Star Wing using its firepower advantage to repel the small unit attacked by the World Star Wing, and the other will be the World Star Wing using motorized rubber boats to attack the southern wharf.
Perhaps because there is no pressure of results, the Chinese Star United is more exciting and more open than in the main game, while the World Star United is stronger, but it is not skilled enough in terms of cooperation. For example, in the South Wharf Assault Battle, seeing that the two squads of the World Star Wing were about to land ashore, they were suppressed by a MiniGun of "MIKK", coupled with the "Cyberarena" and others on the side with assault rifles to shoot non-stop, the two squads of the World Star Wing who had jumped off the motorized rubber boat were stunned and unable to move near the dock. What's even more amazing is that the anti-materiel sniper rifle of the "VM" actually blew up the jeep that the opponent broke into the factory with one shot, causing the troops of the World Star Wing to follow up for a while, and then they were beaten and fled in embarrassment by the troops reinforced by the Chinese Star Wing.
The result of the first game ended with the Chinese Stars United successfully holding on for 30 minutes, and the World Stars United temporarily fell behind 0-1. In the second game, the two sides switched positions, the Chinese star team attacked, and the world star team became the defender. Xu Yan commanded the squads to attack separately, and as soon as he came into contact, he immediately tasted the taste of the last World Star Team, and the whole factory was like a huge hedgehog, making people unable to start for a while.
The direct attack failed, Xu Yan adjusted the offensive strategy, using the method of attacking the east to lead away the main defensive force of the World Star United, and then concentrated firepower to blast through the barbed wire fence in the west and rushed inward, but unfortunately he was strongly resisted in front of the opponent's defensive firepower and failed to enter the core area of the factory before the end of the thirty-minute countdown. In the end, the two sides drew 1-1, and the Chinese Star United also swept away the shadow of the defeat in the main match because of the slight upper hand, so both sides were happy.
As soon as the exhibition match ended, the awards of the follow-up projects began, and Lu Ze had not yet recovered from the fierce battle for a while, and his mind was full of pictures of guns coming and going on the screen. Although he was very emotional, he was sure that it was impossible to enter the WCG World Finals at his level, and it seemed that he would still be a good game tester in the future.
