Chapter 738: Warcraft 3 Exhibition Match (Asking for Tickets)
Joanna was stunned by the cheers and shouts of the audience, she sat in the VIP room and looked at the big screen in the venue, motionless, expressionless, the excitement and joy of the audience seemed to have nothing to do with her, she figured out many things in an instant.
Kevin Williams's face was also bruised, he just said an hour ago that "Counter-Strike" didn't even have the qualifications to lift shoes with "Half-Life", it was not worth mentioning at all, he didn't expect to be slapped in the face by Long Teng so soon, and he was also shocked and couldn't speak.
Both of them have got the schedule sent by the WCG, the first day is "CS", the second day is "Warcraft 3", the third day is "Half-Life", and the fourth day is "Age of Empires", although they know that this arrangement is not flattering, they have also expressed doubts to the WCG official, but the other party euphemistically said that the order cannot be changed, this is the arrangement that the tournament has been set, and it cannot be modified.
Although they were unhappy, they could only pinch their noses and endure such an arrangement, and they were also prepared in their hearts, thinking that there should not be any big difference.
As a result, on the first day, I saw this scene that made people speechless, Longteng's home advantage is too great, thousands of positions on the scene are all filled, the atmosphere temperature is very high, the players are very powerful, it seems that no matter how Longteng is, it is good, they all buy it, the exhibition matches on the first day and the second day are all Longteng's games, with these jewels in front, will anyone still watch the game for the remaining two days? Isn't this treating them as victims, as foils, and as stepping stones, to put it mildly?
"I see, that's what they want!" Kevin seems to see the lively scene of "Warcraft 3" tomorrow, and believes that this game will definitely take advantage of home field advantage. A huge success in one fell swoop, there will definitely be nothing to do with their "Age of Empires" next. Warcraft 3 will step on their heads to reach new heights in real-time strategy games.
"Highlight your strengths. Avoid talking about your own disadvantages, in all fairness, Longteng's publicity strategy is really perfect! Shall we take this opportunity to throw in the towel? Joanna was thinking of another result, this may not be a good thing, maybe they should take the opportunity to quickly dispose of Xuele Mountain and "Half-Life", she heard that ID, Valve, Xuele Mountain, these three companies have all rejected Longteng's invitation. And they Vivendi stupidly took in all these dragon opponents, and the brains of the Havas gang who operated this matter were really in the water.
"Ms. Joanna, you can also see that it seems that both of our games appeared as a foil this time, and Longteng has no sincerity in including our games in the official competition program at all. I suggest that you carefully consider the establishment of an independent platform, Microsoft will also consider carefully, and maybe we will have the opportunity to cooperate! ”
"Let's talk about it...... Sorry Mr. Williams, I'm a little tired and want to go back and rest first. Thank you! ”
Joanna was not interested in talking any further, she did have a lot of ideas, either to hold on or to retreat. Vivendi can choose two completely different paths, but how to choose still needs to communicate with the headquarters, and she will never say a word to the deputy director of Microsoft. He didn't have a good heart.
Kevin could only pretend to be a gentleman and send Joanna away with a smile. Then he went back to the private room, frowning and thinking.
He didn't have two paths. Vivendi is just a small boat compared to Microsoft, and it is easy for the boat to turn around, but Microsoft must not compromise, even if it is suppressed by Dragon's "Warcraft 3" once this time, they will find a way out on their own, such as building their own battle network, or attracting more allies.
Wang Li walked down from the stage, feeling comfortable, he was followed by four teammates, all of whom were young people under the age of 20, the spotlight was shining on them, and they were all fanatical fans as far as the eye could see, and what they heard in their ears was endless applause, screams, cheers, beautiful female fans threw kisses at them, their faces were smiling like flowers, and they reached out to them, just to shake them.
This qiē is so trance, their young hearts are beating fast, who doesn't enjoy this moment? Young people, who doesn't care about other people's eyes? Who doesn't want to be recognized by others? Who doesn't want to be the strongest person in the world?
They are first-line members of the Longteng E-sports Club, but this first-line is likely to be silent for about half a year before it comes to the public's eyes, and their official road to battle will be in the CPL, which is just a warm-up today.
"Dragon Teng CS team! Come on! We're going to win the World Championship! ”
"The world champion must be ours!"
"That's right! Come on Dragon CS! ”
After encouraging each other, Wang Li put his arms around his brothers, everyone lined up, shoulder to shoulder, bowed to the fans in unison, everyone held their heads proudly, their eyes flashed with confidence, they believed that if they could win the CPL, WCG championship, they would get more glory!
In the studio, Lin Zhihong received a phone call, and when he saw that the number was Yang Yun, he didn't dare to slack off, walked out, and made a few turns to find a quiet empty room, and then called Yang Yun back.
"How's the guests doing?"
"I heard, Joanna didn't seem to care, she had already left the venue and returned to the hotel, and Microsoft seemed to be quite unconvinced, their person in charge was walking around a few VIP boxes, and I heard that he was lobbying others to fight against us."
"Is it vertical? Hehe, let them go and make trouble, sooner or later we will have to part ways with Microsoft, and that day will not be long before it comes! ”
"Do you need me to send someone to keep an eye on him?"
"No, you don't. On the contrary, it is best for you to take the initiative to keep in touch with Joanna, do not talk about work, do not talk about cooperation, eat and drink well and take her to travel in Shanghai, visit our film and television game base, go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to enjoy the scenery of the ancient town, whatever you want, wait for her to take the initiative to speak. ”
"Hah! I love to do this job, what will she ask? Could it be that "Half-Life" was sold? ”
"Possibly! If it was the independent Xuele Mountain, they wouldn't do this, but Vivendi has become the new master of "Half-Life", maybe we can exchange with them, for the sane entrepreneur, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests. ”
Hanging up the phone, Lin Zhihong thought about it seriously, and secretly said wonderful, he really admired Yang Yun, because this is the best way out for Vivendi, and it is also the best harvest of Longteng.
The next day, Lin Zhihong did not get together in the studio to mix in the camera, but personally invited Joanna to travel together, of course, he took Cao Nini and his son, and the invitation was not to the company, but to send an invitation in the name of a private person, this attitude of bringing her family to make Joanna let down her vigilance, and happily went to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shanghai and Suzhou and Hangzhou with Lin Zhihong's family, and talked about cooperation matters during the game by the way, which is a later story.
The next day's exhibition match is "Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos", the entire Warcraft chronicles were made into an epic CG movie short by the Blizzard team, with more than 30 minutes, this short film has been prepared since a year ago, bringing together the elite team of Longteng's film and animation production, plus Weta Digital and the latest 3D modeling technology obtained from SZone, successfully made this short film, plus 12 high-definition exquisite CG ultra-short stories within 1 minute, Hanging on the web allows players to download and learn about the entire world of Warcraft.
This is the authorization of Warhammer Medieval, which is very in line with the awareness and world view of European and American players, and also because of the relationship between Dragon Teng, it is also a deeply rooted setting in Asia, after several years of hard work, there is already a vague shadow of an epic game, and Blizzard's designers have heard Yang Yun say that maybe one or two more expansions will be launched, and he can make an unprecedented epic game, Marcos is looking forward to that day, and he now worships Yang Yun more and more.
The demo of Warcraft 3: Reign of Chaos is simple, with the performers Ye Fan, the StarCraft champion of the Chinese Dragon Esports Club, and the former vice captain of South Korea's strongest esports team, Playmore, now LongGame.kro.Kim, in a civil war of different nationalities but the same club.
Ye Fan chose the Terran race without any surprise, he is the emperor of the human race, whether it is interstellar or Warcraft, he is the best at the human race.
Kim chose the orcs, in fact, his most powerful and best race is the elves, but this is just an exhibition game, the first game chooses a human-beast battle, which is a respect for Warcraft 1 and Warcraft 2, and it is also a summary and sublimation of the first two games, according to the script, the first game should be won by Ye Fanren, and the second game is when he Kim's Night Elf wins the game.
In this version, there are only three heroes of each race, one out of the first-level base, and three out of the third-level base, in order to demonstrate the effect, the two tacitly upgrade the base quickly, and the hero takes a few small soldiers to harass the wild monsters, and the two are safe and sound, and they develop separately, and each staged an exciting picture of the empty blood hero with the empty blood soldier continuously strangling the hero in the wild.
Ah Wei kept introducing from the referee's perspective: "From the perspective of the interface, gold mines, wood, this is the same essence as StarCraft Resource Gathering System, the buildings are similar, the operation is the same, and the population is the same, this game can make StarCraft players quickly get started and easily mastered."
Let's take a look at the different places, Warcraft 3 has one more hero system, let's take a look at the starting heroes of the two first, the Terran chooses the archmage, and the Orc chooses the Juggernaut.
The archmage will summon the water element, and can use the brilliant aura to speed up the magic recovery speed of allies, and there is also a blizzard, but Ye Fan did not add points, this skill is a bit chicken. Look at Kim's Juggernaut again, this hero is a bit interesting, there are Wind Walk and Phantom Life Saving in the early stage, and the critical blow and Juggernaut Storm in the later stage are particularly powerful, and it is a very powerful hero of the Orc.
