"Oh my God, it's our 20 seconds, the intro of the first 16 bars of "Numb" ......" The music stopped, and Chester and the others let out a helpless laugh, looking at Yang Yun and Gao Xiaosong and the others with anticipating faces, they probably guessed what kind of pattern this was.

"Mike, what do you think of the combination of the game's sound effects and pop songs?" Yang Yun asked.

McCinda stretched out his hands, imitated the tone of the Marine just now, and said, "Rocking-Roll!" ”

Everyone laughed, this is another classic Marine line, let's rock together, this is the debauchery/bohemianism of the game characters, and it is also the attitude of Mike Xintian, such a fun thing, why not let everyone get high together? Let's rock together!

"Excellent! Mike, Chast, these two are our young Chinese outstanding electronic music masters and musicians, I give you a task, first go back and sleep well, but the jet lag, from tomorrow, you will do a good job of this hybrid electronic music song, use the unit sound effects of "StarCraft", use the main theme of "Numb", is there a problem? Yang Yun asked.

Linkin Park certainly had no problem, and Chester asked with interest, "Does this song have a title?" ”

Yang Yun thought for a while and said with a smile: "Of course there is, but the name is very long, called "Open Linkin Park in the Way of StarCraft"!" Brothers, I can guarantee that you will be on fire! If you do well, maybe we can catch the Spring Festival Gala at Mango Terrace, and I will leave a place for you to sing to the 1.3 billion Chinese. ”

Chester asked excitedly, "Is it too late?" We didn't even rehearse and we didn't choose the songs......"

Yang Yun waved his hand. said with a smile: "Mango Channel's program, I have the final say!" ”

The lads at Linkin Park are dedicated. They recovered after a day's rest, and Chaster even slipped out alone in the evening. went to the Houhai bar to drink and "interact" with the female fans, he was originally a very enthusiastic man, and that extremely special hoarse voice was really fascinating.

The next day, seven or eight highly talented musicians lived in Gao Xiaosong's professional recording studio, who took out all the sound effects of "StarCraft" and listened to them over and over again, choosing the most distinctive voices to rhyme with Numb songs, and at the same time using some highly recognizable other voices to fill in the downbeat time period.

When crude. Basically, those highly recognizable appearance voices will be bet on the rhyme of the beat, such as the appearance sound effect of the machine qì person, "Goliath-Online!" Ready-to-roll-out!" for tanks, "Battlecruiser-operational!" for Yamato megaships. "Valkyrie-preed" for the female voice of the Vargri frigate, and "Explorer-Reporting" for the Tech Ball, are basically at the end of the four bars, moving the guò to rhyme with the background drum beat.

And, of course, there is the Protoss word "Adun-Toridas". This is the Dark Templar's birth prayer to the god of Arden, may Arden bless you, "I-have-Returned" dragoon return, "It-is-a-good-day-to-die" pirate ship willing to be generous. These are highly recognizable Protoss sound effects.

Although the Zerg can't speak human words, the chirping of puppies and the spitting of snakes. The scream of a self-detonating moth, the ejection of a wyvern's attack. The infiltrator's piercing attack, the host's movement. Each sound effect is unique, and even the screams of the Zerg units dying are so eccentric.

The three races also have a lot of special sound effects, such as the explosion of the Golden Beetle bullet of the Protoss, the slashing of the Dark Templar, the Devourer Jet of the Zerg, the drilling of each unit, the sound of the Terran siege tank firing guns, the Yamato cannon of the Yamato Giant Ship, and even the detection wave of the radar station is known as soon as you hear it.

Because of the game itself, the scenes of the Zerg and the Protoss will be a little less, a 3-minute StarCraft version of Numb, to the back, basically all the Terran units appear, the ghost fighter's "Wraith-awaiting-launch-orders", the transport ship "Can-I-take-your-order", and even the audio tracks of some Terran units chatting have been captured, and the funniest thing is the tank's chit-chat sound effect, where the tankers are singing loudly" Da Da Da ...... Dada! Da Da Da ...... Dada! ”。

Numb, which is carefully made zuò, has been turned into a well-made game of conscience by Linkin Park.

Two days later, on the 28th of the lunar month, Yang Yun was watching the final version of the program schedule for the Spring Festival Gala on Mango Channel, and was worried that he would receive a notice that the song "Open Lincoln Park in the Way of StarCraft" had been completed.

As he arrives at the studio, everyone is smiling at him, and Chaster motions for him to put on his monitor headphones: "These are the best sounding headphones in the world, you have to enjoy them." ”

The player pressed the Play button, Yang Yun heard the countdown of the game starting, the game started, the song also started, and he embarked on the journey of "StarCraft".

As a former avid LP fan and StarCraft enthusiast, having experienced the transformation of StarCraft from a simple player to a designer in two lifetimes, Yang Yun burst into tears after listening to the three-minute song!

……

After entering 2005, "StarCraft" is about to enter its tenth year, and there has been no second version, and a large number of other excellent real-time strategy games have appeared in domestic e-sports games, this game is going downhill, and the top international StarCraft professional players have chosen Warcraft 3 or changed careers to play Dota, and there are fewer and fewer people who continue to insist on this game.

"Yongping, Zhihong, although I don't want to admit it, but the number of Dragon Games battle platforms doesn't lie, the appeal of StarCraft is gradually decreasing, and there are our own reasons in it, we haven't released StarCraft 2 for almost ten years, and its engine looks really outdated now......"

Yang Yun sighed a little, since he came back from the recording studio, the whole person expressed an inexplicable sadness, which affected others very much.

Lin Zhihong was very touched, he said: "I also came into contact with StarCraft from the beginning, although I didn't play it well, it left me with countless good memories. I don't agree with the outdated engine, it's just a little bit worse, but isn't the core and essence of the game its rules of the game? ”

This also makes sense, Yang Yun remembered Blizzard's "StarCraft 2", this game engine was changed to pure 3D, adding new classes, eliminating or improving old classes, and choosing to enter the world of StarCraft 2 from the perspective of the Queen of Blades, which has not changed much in essence from other real-time strategy games, it continues StarCraft 1, and also achieves high balance, updating the game engine.

"There are about a few million StarCraft fans around the world, and I'm sure that number will get more and more, and I don't want to see StarCraft 1 fall, so I made this commemorative song that looks back on StarCraft 1 for a decade, and then after Blizzard finishes World of Warcraft this year, I'm going to get them to start preparing for StarCraft 2 right away."

Yang Yun's plan was unanimously agreed by everyone, but today is already the 29th of the lunar month, and Yang Yun doesn't want to talk too much about the work arrangement at this time, so he only called Zhao Yongping and Lin Zhihong to mention this matter slightly.

"Mango Terrace Spring Festival Gala, we will all go, this year there is an award ceremony for our senior leaders of Longteng, none of you can be absent!"

Everyone laughed, the company has chartered a plane, and they will fly from the capital to Star City tonight, in addition to these managers at the headquarters in the capital, some IT industry connections, important business partners, and political officials who want to maintain a deeper relationship with them will leave together this evening.

Linkin Park and other management personnel of Longteng have already taken the lead, Chaster wants to test the live effect, Mango Station has to work overtime to produce a 3 minute and 45 second advertisement, looking back on the ten years of "StarCraft 1", looking forward to the future "StarCraft 2", this promotional video will be broadcast on Mango Channel at around 7:50.

This most golden advertising time, Yang Yun did not hesitate to leave it to "StarCraft 2", which is enough to see the importance he attaches to it.

This is one of the two game commercials of Dragon Entertainment Games, the other is a 2-minute promotional video for "World of Warcraft", which is made of pure CG with 3D technology and will be played after the New Year's bell rings.

After all, Mango Station is not owned by him personally, and it is enough to get these two prime positions, or such a long broadcast time.

Mango Channel's Spring Festival Gala in the Year of the Rooster in 2005 attracted quite a lot of ordinary Chinese.

Chinese New Year's Eve family get together to watch the CCTV Spring Festival Gala This is a habit that Chinese have developed for decades, but I don't know when, the taste of CCTV Spring Festival Gala has gradually changed, and the Spring Festival Gala programs of many local stations are getting better and better, becoming more and more popular, and after the 21st century, with the development of the Internet, there are even people who plan to operate the online Spring Festival Gala and broadcast live online.

This year's Mango Channel's Spring Festival Gala program came out a month ago, and there are many big names in the entertainment industry, especially the actors and actresses of the TV series version of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Britney Spears, Linkin Park, China's good songs and Dragon Game Baby and other talent show stars of several talent shows, world-class players in WCG and CPL leagues, all the members of the Timberwolves Club, the main force of the Chinese national men's football team, etc., will attend the party and perform programs.

The Mango Channel Spring Festival Gala was filled with a new atmosphere of youthful joy, which was enough to attract thousands of young Chinese people, who began to turn their TV to Mango Channel at 7:30 and wait for the party to begin. (To be continued......)
