Chapter 38 The First Expo (I)
Fengyun Network is an online game.,In the eyes of many netizens, it shouldn't have much to do with being a game host.,As for the voting activities that appeared in the "Nomad Tribe",In the eyes of many people, it's just a gimmick.,It's hard to really have a domestic host this year.,Sober up, everyone.,It's definitely just a dream.。 Although there are many netizens who have this idea, there are still many netizens who have registered an account to participate in the voting activity of "Domestic Game Console Name", and solemnly vote for their favorite name.
The voting activities of "domestic host names" have even been published in some well-known newspapers and periodicals, such as "Home Computers and Game Consoles", "Electronic Game Software", "Computer Newspapers", etc., all of which have devoted more or less space to this voting activity, but I don't know why, these articles are very eye-catching The URL of the voting activity is written, and readers are also explicitly or implicitly recommended to support. As a result, more people who have the conditions to access the Internet flock to the website that holds the voting event, if it is not for the strong server performance and sufficient bandwidth prepared by Fengyun Network, it will be down on the spot.
Li Wenbo came home from studying in other places, habitually going online to see if anyone had found him, as soon as he opened the ICQ, the familiar "uh-oh" sound sounded, he pressed the hot button, and a message sent two days ago popped up.
[Offline message from netizen "Zhanbu Luocouch"] "Doctor, go to this website http://...... Check it out, and remember to vote for your favorite name. ”
"Standing cloth and falling on the bed" is a playmate that Li Wenbo met on the Internet, and he will come to the "Lianzhong Game World" twice on weekdays, and sometimes they will exchange game information or experience with each other, and the relationship between the two is not bad. Li Wenbo glanced at the URL attached to the message, and ICQ gave a green shield marker, which means that the address is safe, so he clicked on the link with confidence.
After waiting for a while, the browser that automatically popped up had already displayed the linked website, Li Wenbo browsed it, and it turned out to be a voting activity for "domestic game consoles to collect names", no wonder "standing on the bed" asked him to vote for the name he liked. If it weren't for the eye-catching words "domestic game console", according to Li Wenbo's habit, it would just be a casual look, and now since it is for the future domestic game console, then he will have to make his own contribution no matter what he says. After registering the username and completing the login, Li Wenbo carefully analyzed the alternative names listed on the screen, and then made his own choice, pressing the "Vote for me" button in front of "DreamBox128 (English) and Dream Treasure Box (Chinese)".
He Xiaoyu opened the latest issue of "Computer News", flipped to his favorite "Game Square" page, and saw a passage in "Xiaosheng's Notes"...... Please go to this website for players who love domestic games http://...... Cast your own precious vote for the naming campaign of domestic game consoles...... Remember to register a username before you can vote......"
"Domestic game console?" He Xiaoyu muttered, for a veteran player like him, he has long dreamed of having a domestic all-Chinese game console. At first, he thought that the learning machine was, but later he realized that it was a copy of the Nintendo red and white machine, and he once thought that the A'Can console made in Taiwan was called double 16-bit, but before he could see the real machine, it had gone with the wind.
Many years later, He Xiaoyu saw the news related to domestic game consoles again, and he had also heard about the hot post in several game forums some time ago, although he didn't know whether this time was a hope or a disappointment, but no matter what, he wanted to make some of his own efforts for it.
He Xiaoyu came to the Fengyun chain Internet café he frequented, and he habitually glanced at the bar first, but unfortunately the woman who made him excited was not there. He took out his membership card, found a computer that had just been vacated, and logged in according to the URL written in the "Computer Newspaper", intending to take a closer look.
After leaving the investment company in the United States, Ye Tianyu returned directly to China, planning to find a company to show his strengths, but he has not been able to do so. Recently, a friend recommended a newly established company to her, Fengyun Network Development Co., Ltd., and Ye Tianyu plans to find information about this company according to her own habits, and then judge whether it is suitable for her.
Fortunately, Ye Tianyu's friend gave her the website address of Fengyun Network Development Co., Ltd., so that she had a faster way to understand the company, so she came to an Internet café "Fengyun Chain" closest to her home, asked for a computer casually, and then opened the browser, ready to find information.
Entering the company domain name of "Fengyun Network", the browser quickly opened the homepage of the website, and this homepage alone brought a lot of shock to Ye Tianyu. When she is abroad, she often looks for information on the Internet, and it is common to browse the websites of large companies, and the companies she found after returning to China either do not have websites, or they are simple and even personal web pages are not as good, but the website of the "Fengyun Network" in front of her is very well designed, concise and not simple, beautiful and not fancy, and more importantly, the website is very material. After she returned to China, she saw a lot of websites, at first glance it seems that there are a lot of columns, but a little bit into it is either still under construction, or there is no response at all, like "Fengyun Network" The content of each column is very substantial, especially the news dynamics are updated every day, she has hardly seen it.
Browsed the various columns of the "Fengyun Network" website at will, Ye Tianyu felt that she had gained a lot, and then she found that there was a friendly link under the "About Us" column, she chose one casually, and a "Nomad Tribe" game forum popped up, and there was also an eye-catching "Domestic Game Host Name" voting activity on the home page, she was not interested in this, and directly clicked on the fork in the upper right corner, and then continued to go back to study the "Fengyun Network".
……
On October 8, shortly after the National Day, the first "International Digital Interactive Entertainment Products and Technology Application Expo" (Game Expo) co-sponsored by the General Administration of Press and Publication, the Council for the Promotion of International Trade, the National Copyright Administration, the Ministry of Culture and the China Game Industry Association, and undertaken by Beijing Hengxin Exhibition Co., Ltd. and the Promotion Committee of the China Game Industry Association, kicked off at the Beijing Exhibition Center.
The first day of the exhibition is the so-called "Closed Test Day", that is, the internal test day, which will only receive visitors with invitations and a few media officially designated by the conference, according to pre-statistics, the number of visitors will not exceed 1,000, which should be the smallest day during the entire exhibition period. Zhang Lexing, who has been paying attention to the progress of the game expo, also chose to come to Beijing to watch the exhibition on this day, and originally wanted to bring Chen Zishan with her, but unfortunately her biological research institute happened to have something to deal with her, so she couldn't make the trip.
The official start time of the exhibition is 9 o'clock in the morning, because it is "ClosedTestDay", and it is said that there will be leaders to the exhibition site, so in order not to delay the entry, Zhang Lexing took Wang Mengyao and two bodyguards to the outside of the venue at 8:45. When she parked the car and walked out of the parking lot, Wang Mengyao took out the badge sent by Zhao Haiguang in advance from her bag and divided it for everyone to bring, and then took out the invitations for the four people from the bag.
The four of them walked out of the parking lot and then turned to the gate of the Beijing Exhibition Center, Zhang Lexing found that there were indeed a lot of security guards and policemen standing at the door, and several temporary checkpoints were set up, and the documents of the people waiting for admission were being checked one by one, and the audience and media waiting for admission formed a long line in front of several checkpoints.
Maybe the badge sent by Zhao Haiguang was still relatively high, Wang Mengyao did not go to those temporary checkpoints, but turned around and came to the side door not far away, where there were also people checking documents, but from the dress, it didn't look like the security guards and police over there, but a bit like special police or armed police.
Wang Mengyao handed over the invitation in her hand, and then said with a smile: "There are four of us. ”
After speaking, Wang Mengyao also made a gesture backwards, pointing to Zhang Lexing and the two bodyguards who were following her. The inspector took the invitation letter in Wang Mengyao's hand with a serious face, looked at the photo on the attached page of the invitation, and then looked at Zhang Lexing and his party, and then carefully checked that everyone had a badge on their bodies, and then a smile appeared on their faces, and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, you can go in, I wish you a happy visit!"
Zhang Lexing nodded at the inspector and walked inside, followed by two bodyguards, and after Wang Mengyao took back the invitation letter from the inspector, he immediately chased after him. As soon as he walked into the venue, Zhang Lexing felt a lively but not noisy atmosphere coming to him.
I don't know if it was learned from the experience of the E3 exhibition or Zhang Lexing's persuasion played a role, in short, there was such a hard rule in the first game expo that if any booth is to be played directly through the sound, the sound shall not exceed 60 decibels, and it shall not be placed on the outermost side of the booth. At the same time, in order not to affect each other between adjacent booths, sound-absorbing materials must be added to the partitions between booths. In order to ensure that the regulations are implemented, staff with hand-held decibel testers will also be arranged to inspect the individual booths today.
In this case, many companies have wisely put away the originally planned large speakers, either replacing them with smaller ones, or simply putting them out to try out the computer and connecting them to headphones, so the noisy venue has become relatively quiet, at least Zhang Lexing's feelings.
As a game enthusiast, Zhang Lexing once participated in a domestic game exhibition, and coincidentally, that exhibition was also held at the Beijing Exhibition Center. He remembers that it was still in mid-January 2004, as if it was a few days before the Spring Festival, perhaps because the epidemic of the previous year disrupted the plan of this game show, so he chose such a cold day and close to the Spring Festival.
Zhang Lexing remembers that the first feeling when he walked into the venue was that it was lively, and the second feeling was that it was too lively. Perhaps due to lack of experience and lack of consideration, or due to habit, the organizers of the exhibition did not make provisions in these areas. So the exhibitors in the venue are desperately expressing themselves, you use 200W speakers, I use 300W, your music is loud, then my voice will be bigger, in short, do everything possible to overshadow others. As a result, a good exhibition is like a noise generator, obviously in the city, but people are fortunate to experience a mountain life where "traffic basically depends on walking, communication basically depends on roaring".
At that time, Zhang Lexing went with a few friends, but after entering the venue, it was basically impossible to say hello to each other, even if they were very close, without shouting twice in their throats, they couldn't hear what they were saying at all, especially when they were close to the booths of some manufacturers. What's even more unpleasant is that the handbags issued by the exhibitors, one is bigger than the other, and the other is wider than the other, all looking forward to the information of other families being stuffed into their own bags, but they never thought that it is inconvenient for the audience to walk with a handbag with a width of more than 1 meter.
"Boss ......"
Wang Mengyao's voice came from the side, pulling Zhang Lexing out of his memory, he turned his head and looked at Wang Mengyao: "Well, what's the matter?"
"Boss, you see that there is such a big one in here, why don't I introduce you to the distribution of exhibitors' booths first. ”
"Okay, let's talk about it first. Zhang Lexing nodded, and turned his eyes to the stage not far from the door, where several people were busy, as if they were making some preparations.
Wang Mengyao took out a notepad from her bag and introduced it while flipping through it: "Boss, it is understood that there are a total of 37 game companies that came to participate in the exhibition this time, including EA, Ubisoft, Eidos, Activision, Asia Interactive, Fengyun Interactive, Creative Workshop, Tianzhiyuan, Blue Dragon Games, KF-Panda, Capcom, More than 10 internationally renowned game companies such as Konami and 25 domestic game companies participated in the exhibition, including several game companies and game studios such as Shanghai Hongjun and Guangzhou Tianyou, which were spun off from the creative workshop......"
“…… The layout of the whole venue is like this," Wang Mengyao put the notepad together, and then gestured to the venue with his hand: "Along the middle aisle, it is divided into Area A and Area B, Area A is slightly smaller, mainly domestic exhibitors, Area B is relatively larger, including EA Company, French Ubisoft and other game companies The booths are located here......"
“…… Leaning into the entrance of the gate, this side is the performance stage," Wang Mengyao raised her wrist and looked at her watch, and then said: "Wait a while, there should be a performance, and the information introduces that it is a game character cosplay show...... At the end of the stage facing the past is the LAN online game display area, where several game battles are scheduled every day, and the games seem to be "Supreme Alert" and "The Road to the FIFA98 World Cup......"
After listening to Wang Mengyao's introduction, Zhang Lexing waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go and see the domestic exhibitors first." ”
"Okay, boss, please go this way. Wang Mengyao nodded, and led the way first.
When passing by the stage near the gate, the music that was also somewhat restrained happened to sound, and more than a dozen young men and women dressed in different costumes slowly walked onto the stage with rhythm, and then kept putting various poses in twos and threes, but Zhang Lexing looked at it for a while, and he couldn't see what kind of characters these people were pretending to be.
At a glance, most of the booths in Area A look are very "small and exquisite", basically a few tables, a few chairs, a few staff, and then two. Three computers, or show their own games, or for players to try to play, if it is not for the exhibition organizer has set up a partition in advance, Zhang Lexing even suspects that some game companies may take a few pieces of white cloth around, and then hold a big umbrella, after all, at this time, the stand-alone game company is not so comfortable most days, and some can even be said to be precarious, these game companies that have the energy to come to the exhibition are already better.
