In the early morning, to be honest, the sky was still cloudy, and the glow-in-the-dark trees still emitted a faint glow. At this moment, Zheng Lu was carrying out a cruel morning exercise. Fortunately, Fang Xin's appearance was really unsightly, and he shouldn't be too heavy at the beginning of training, so he only ran less than halfway and let Zheng Lu rest.

The resting place is a small park, where oxygen is abundant and suitable for resting. Zheng Lu was out of breath at this time, he couldn't say a word, and his legs couldn't move anymore. Trembling, he found a bench and sat down and refused to move.

"Look at you, I don't know, I think you're going to a long march!"

Fang Xin handed over the towel and asked Zheng Lu to wipe the sweat, this body was sweating, and it was about to rain. Zheng Lu hadn't recovered his breath yet, he just breathed heavily, and he didn't even bother to move his hands again. Fang Xin had no choice but to help him wipe the sweat off his face, and then used the kettle he carried with him to go to the water source tree on the side to pick up a jar of juice and bring it back to quench Zheng Lu's thirst.

"It's a little longer than yesterday, so it's good, keep working hard and try to finish the whole course in a month."

Zheng Lu smiled bitterly for a while, this goal was set too quickly. I have only participated in this morning exercise for more than a week, and I am tired like a dead dog every day, and when I go to work, I can't lift my legs, so I can only sit in the studio. After the students knew the reason, they also made fun of Zheng Lu for a while.

"By the way, I heard that your game was sniped by several large companies, is it true?"

This matter also spread more strongly among the students, so Fang Xin also heard about it. After this incident, Zheng Lu has not responded, and some people also said that Zheng Lu was scared and ready to retreat. However, Fang Xin didn't believe it, Zheng Lu still had a certain degree of confidence in game development, and it was impossible to retreat before the war started. Fang Xin was worried that this sniping would affect the results of "The Last Ark", which made Zheng Lu feel uncomfortable.

"It doesn't matter if he's real or not, it's going to run into each other anyway, but now it's easier to get together."

Zheng Lu didn't expect this game to cause such a dispute, but he still had some expectations in his heart to be able to confront these game veterans. Zheng Lu also wanted to do something to respond, but this was all focused on the game, and finally forgot about it. But in the end, it all depends on the quality of the game, so it's up to others to guess.

Zheng Lu also told the students about this meaning, this is a rare opportunity, you must play your own level, compare with foreign strong players, and see what kind of way you can go. As for winning or losing, don't take it personally, it's good to win, but it doesn't matter if you fail.

Fujiichi is also quite embarrassed now, originally just came here to exchange and learn, but he didn't expect to become a competitor in the end. When the news came from above, he was also a little caught off guard.

"Fujii, you are the leader of the younger generation in our game industry, let you go to the ring with China, it can be regarded as a comparison of your peers, and see what level of their strength is. So you don't have any psychological burden, just let it go. ”

Nintendo is still a little confident, and doesn't want to leave a tongue and say that it is bullying the small. I heard that Fujii and Zheng Lu were classmates, although they were not the same period, but they were barely of the same generation, so I appointed Fujii to do this. At the same time, it also motivates Fujii Ichi, after all, he is fighting against his own junior, and his fighting spirit will definitely rise.

"The Last Ark" has expanded its fame because of this obvious battle. Especially foreign players, they are also curious about what kind of game can make the three major consoles value it so much, so they also pay more or less attention to this game. This is a windfall.

Relevant foreign media also believe that emerging hosts want to enter the international market, they must accept the baptism of old hosts. If you can survive this hurdle, you will naturally have a bright future, and if not, you still have to ponder it in China for a while. As a result, a battle between games escalated into a battle between hosts under the exaggeration of the outside world.

"Little glasses, you're going to be angry now. Now that the outside world is paying more and more attention to this battle, if it fails, everyone will definitely be disappointed in Hanzhai University, and Pangu's export will also have a certain impact. ”

With the development of public opinion, the situation has become more and more uncontrollable, and in the eyes of netizens, it has almost evolved into a life-and-death war between host manufacturers. But it's just a game after all, and there are some connections to the console, but it's never that big.

But after infinite amplification, an idea was formed in the hearts of netizens that if the game failed, it would mean the failure of the console. Therefore, Zheng Lu can't fail now, at least to get the second or third place in this semi-final battle.

There are two theaters of war, Asia and Europe and the United States. As long as one of these two areas occupies a better position, then it will be much easier to get the publicity. This goal is still possible, because it will not be difficult for Zheng Lu to win millions of copies in Asia, and this result should ensure the ranking of the Asian region. The problem lies in the European and American theaters, which are completely new regions, and Zheng Lu's reputation does not play any role. And his three major hosts have been in business for a long time, so it seems a little difficult to have a good result.

In response to this, Zheng Lu plans to use some small means, that is, to ask Holbert to help with the music. Of course, it was very difficult for him to get him, and Hallbert, as a visiting professor, did not have to comply with the rule that he had to participate in the project within a year, so no group had succeeded in hiring him for more than a year. However, Zheng Lu was confident that he could be invited, because he had a secret weapon.

"Zheng Lu, you have to understand that Mr. Hallbert has never made music for anyone, including the game group and the animation team."

Zheng Lu found Han Luoqi of the teachers' union and asked to establish a contractual relationship with Holbert. This made Han Luoqi a little surprised, Holbert is notoriously difficult to invite, but because of his superb skills, many people are willing to invite again and again, but I didn't expect that now Zheng Lu is also eyeing him.

"President Han, don't worry, since I dare to ask, I naturally have my way."

Seeing that Zheng Lu was very sure, Han Luoqi didn't bother anymore, so he helped Zheng Lu contact Holbert. Not surprisingly, as soon as Holbert heard that it was a contract, he immediately refused. However, the attitude is still very polite, and he is still a little resistant to the use of elegant music in anime games.

"Mr. Hallbert, I know you're reluctant to make game music, but this time things are a little different, and I'd like to talk to you in person. If you still don't want to talk about it, I won't force it. ”

There are different outlooks on life and values, which is understandable, so Zheng Lu doesn't plan to use any big reason to argue with him. It really takes too much wisdom to change other people's values, because even a robber will have his morality, and Zheng Lu can't do it by himself, so his plan is to make some strange moves. Hallbert agreed to the request for an interview, and they made an appointment to meet.

"Young man, don't talk to me about games and art, it's useless to me."

As soon as he sat down, Holbert spoke. This kind of rhetoric has been mentioned to him before, but Hallbert has not listened to a word. It's not that he thinks the game is vulgar, but he thinks that players can easily ignore the existence of music when playing the game, so he doesn't want to make elaborate music as an accessory.

"Hehe, of course I know this, I won't say that. Actually, it's not that I want you to compose, it's someone else, and he's the mysterious composer. ”

"What, it's him!?"

Zheng Lu's words had a rather shocking surname, and finally made Holbert lose color. The reason why he teaches at Hantaku University is because of the existence of a mysterious composer, and the collection of books in the Hantaku library fascinates him. However, it is a pity that even if he carefully studies the music textbook of the last level, he still cannot make the cut. On top of that, he was extremely disappointed that the mysterious composer did not appear once.

"What you say is true? Mystery composer: Does he want to see me? ”

Hallbert was a little forgetful, and he grabbed Zheng Lu's hand and didn't let go. But it's a pity that Zheng Lu can't reveal his identity.

"I'm not going to meet, I'm trying to work with you on a song. The mysterious composer has finished the first half of the piece, and I invite you to continue the second half. ”

Then Zheng Lu took out half a tune. This half of the song is the last work of a peerless musician in the world of Glasses Girl, but unfortunately he passed away halfway through, which makes many people regretful. A lot of people try to make the second half, but they never get it right. This half of the piece alone is already a masterpiece of the same level, which makes people have infinite reverie about the second half, and it is a piece that later composers used to inspire him.

Hallbert is knowledgeable, and this half of the piece has completely conquered him. Listening to this song, his mind seemed to beat with infinite notes, flowing endless melodies. But there was nothing satisfying to him that could be accompanied by this piece.

"Mr. Hallbert, the mysterious composer admires your skills when he sees that you are studying so diligently, so he has the heart to compose a piece with you, as if he were learning from each other. But I didn't have an intermediary to introduce it, so I found me, and I hope you won't mind using this song for the game. I promise that I will definitely make a separate record of this song and promote it vigorously! ”

What else did Hallbert mind, wasn't all he wanted was to learn from the mysterious composer, how could he let go of such an opportunity? As for the fact that it is used in the game, although he is a little unhappy, but this is not happy compared to the mysterious composer, it is a small thing, so he let it go.

"Alright young man, tell the mysterious composer for me, and I will definitely make a perfect sequel!"

Holbert took Zheng Lu's piece and left in a hurry, he was now in a hurry to go back to compose.

Zheng Lu is also happy when he sees this, he doesn't care if the sequel is perfect or not, as long as it is done by Holbert! Chinese mysterious composers, internationally renowned composers, and large-scale symphonies cooperated by China and foreign countries, this is a big gimmick, and it is definitely good to publicize the results achieved abroad.

Zheng Lu's influence abroad is too low, so he came up with this trick. Although many foreign players may not know about Hallbert, those media do, as long as they promote it, the gimmick will be considered out. It also helps to weaken the hostility of some foreign players, giving them a sense of identity and reducing unnecessary resistance.

"Little glasses, I didn't expect you to be good at publicity, one trick after another."

"That's it, Brother Zheng Lu is like a businessman."

", I'm a good person, it's all forced!"

To be honest, these are all small tricks used for propaganda, and Zheng Lu didn't want to use them. But today's form is already difficult to ride a tiger, so any means that may help, Zheng Lu will use. But the most important point is to improve "The Last Ark", after all, whether the game is fun or not is the biggest determining factor for sales.

As soon as Holbert agreed, Zheng Lu announced the news that night, so everyone took this news as Zheng Lu's response to the other three major game companies. But this response is awesome, the mysterious composer and Holbert's diamond combination is simply sparkling.

Hantaku University has finally made a move! With the cooperation of two Chinese and foreign composers, the Divine Comedy is about to be released!

The game media has long been hyping the news that the four major shooter-themed games are gathering for the summer vacation, and Zheng Lu's response makes them even more excited. What kind of news is the hottest right now? It's news that can be fought! Professor Zheng Lu of Hanzhai University fought against the three major host manufacturers by himself, how could such a battle not be hot?

The players were also teased, and one by one they said that they would support Zheng Lu with practical actions, and they must make domestic games go abroad, and it is best to completely suppress the three major host manufacturers, and have a good look at it.

Looking at the extremely hot posts on the Internet, many teachers in the game development department of Hanzhai University understand that the game "The Last Ark" is not said abroad, and it must be the leader in China, and Zheng Lu's luck really doesn't know whether to say good or bad.

The bad thing is that this game has encountered sniping from the three major hosts, and the future is bleak, but the half-house immortal is strongly supportive, not only dispatching the mysterious composer, but also luring Holbert out. He was indifferent to game music before, but he unexpectedly joined Zheng Lu's group, which can only be the credit of the mysterious composer.

Hallbert's role may not be very big at home, but it is a big propaganda point abroad. John is now taking advantage of this to make a big fuss, and all kinds of advertising campaigns have come out, and even invited a few reporters to go to Hantaku University to interview Professor Hallbert on television.

Now foreign players also roughly understand that the composer of this game turned out to be quite remarkable, and to be able to invite such a master, this game is a bit interesting. Little by little, "The Last Ark" became well-known to foreign players.

"This half-house university, it's really interesting, to be able to invite such a music master."

Danny, the head of Microsoft's game development team, groaned as he touched his chin and moaned. Although music is not the key to winning or losing, it is the first and foremost theme of propaganda. Next is CG video promotion and actual image promotion. I have to say that in this first battle, China's Hanzhai University can be said to be the first to win.

"Don't worry! The quality of the game is the key to victory or defeat! Then this kind of little trick can't be used, let's use our strength to speak! ”

Danny continued to encourage the demon group. This group is a young and powerful team just discovered by Microsoft, but it is precisely because of its youth that it lacks development experience, and it is a little unbearable to encounter this kind of thing. So Danny stimulates them from time to time, and then encourages them constantly, so that the team can grow quickly.

If you want to say that this game music, it is really not the place that the United States pays attention to. They pay more attention to the effect of the game, refreshing and realistic! Plot isn't their strong point either, let alone moving. So they don't care about the loss of this first propaganda war.

But they don't care, but some people do, and Sony is one of them. Music is their forte, and every finale will be arranged by a first-class composer and sung by a popular singer. Classic songs and classic plots, but their forte was suppressed at this point, and they were a little unconvinced.

"Bastard! They must not be allowed to be so arrogant! Go to the best composers in the country, and be sure to put them down! ”

The temper of the Sony game team has also come up, and they must not lose in terms of momentum. When he invited the hottest composer in China, he also announced the news on the Internet, and at the same time held a large-scale concert of the new song, which obviously means the war.

Fujiichi and the others are not convenient to do this because they are in China, and they even asked a composer from Hantaku University to compose the music, which is surprising.

"If you are willing to fight, let them fight, our target is the Chinese market, so it is not a problem to lower our posture and even cooperate with them."

This is a message from the above person to Fujiichi, so Fujiichi decided to invite the singer directly to Hantaku University. Anyway, there are three language versions, and all of them are pleased.

Of the three major host providers, only one fought, the other two ignored it, and the other played local cards. No one expected such an outcome, but there was a lot of speculation about their different approaches.

However, these speculations are irrelevant, and everyone is waiting to see if the divine comedy produced by this mysterious composer and Hallbert can suppress the commercial masterpiece that Sony is trying to create.
