&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;In fact, this award ceremony was not known to many Chinese audiences last year, and some game media also provided live webcast signals last year, but it is roughly estimated that only about 20,000 to 30,000 people watched the live broadcast, and then the video was uploaded to the video website, and the total number of views on the whole network was only about 10,000. But this year, due to the strong participation of Qingyu Network, at 12 noon on weekdays in China, there are about 34,000 Chinese players who are currently watching.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Of course, it is also a sufficient amount of publicity by many media before the awards, otherwise it is not easy to find a live broadcast link in this era when there are no major video live broadcast websites. Today, basically the homepages of all domestic mainstream game media, and even the official website of Qingyu Network and the homepage of the FG game platform, have put advertisements and links for live broadcasts.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xie Jiaming didn't eat lunch, and their company didn't allow employees to bring them to the desk to eat to ensure that the office room was odorless, so he simply didn't eat it.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; He also bet with his colleagues on this year's herring performance, but for the title of "Game of the Year", Chinese players with subjective emotions will not be unconditionally optimistic, not that our army is incompetent, but that the enemy army is too strong.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But the "Best Indie Game of the Year" should still be very promising, and at the same time, the finalists for this award are also "that game company" Hua Now the original name of this company has become ancient, and the herring network has completed the acquisition of it, the acquisition amount is similar to what the media expected before, 25 million US dollars, a direct one-time acquisition of 00% of the equity, and it has become Dace Studio, the sixth R&D studio in the world of the herring network.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;It can be said that among the four shortlists, the herring network occupies two seats.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xie Jiaming and his colleagues gathered in front of a computer monitor, they had just seen the new trailer, and several of them didn't know how to describe it.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"This is actually made by a domestic game company. This kind of feeling no longer belongs to the current herring network, maybe this time last year, it would be more appropriate to use this language to evaluate this company, but the current herring network no longer has a dark horse posture.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;It has proven itself in many fields and is the same as those game manufacturers that have been on the battlefield for many years and have a deep heritage, it is at that level, there is nothing to marvel at....

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xie Jiaming was the first to speak: "It feels so positive"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;This "positive" is not the kind of "positive" used in Hong Kong and Taiwan as the term "Zhengmei", but refers to concepts similar to orthodoxy, avenues and the like, contrary to surprising success, it is to rely on the production level of the game itself to overwhelm the vast army, and to destroy the withering and decaying to make you unconvinced.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Just like a move between martial arts masters, the opposite side no longer makes any sword-breaking and knife-breaking styles, only fast and not broken, and softness overcomes rigidity. It's a slash that pulls out the mountain, so you can't parry, and you can only flee in a hurry.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; It is necessary to prove its strength in the most traditional RPG field in the most impeccable way.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Colleague smacked his lips and said, "How much do you think this game has to sell?" ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"What is there to guess about this, 5. dollars, there is no argument." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "I can't sell it so expensive in China."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Everyone nodded their heads, and the herring network has clearly divided several low-price zones on the global map, according to the different consumption power and player enthusiasm of each country, China is one of them. Of course, the game purchased in the low-price area must be region-locked, and different games have different region-locked schemes, including region-locked purchase, lock-activated or running, otherwise it is very unfair to players in the low-cost area.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Anyway, don't think about it." Xie Jiaming said: "If this game is sold, what if you call other domestic games?" Sell 3 or 2"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; A colleague interjected: "It must be more than a hundred, I don't need to think about whether our discussion is a little biased, they are all people who go to work, and they still care about the two hundred yuan, and they are not students in school." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "yes, I don't know how many years this kind of game has been released, and I'll buy it even for $0." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Pay for the feelings of Xianxia and martial arts? ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "That's not, I've already paid for it, and I've also bought a lot of those old domestic games on FG, and it's not expensive for a few dollars or so, but it's finally made up for the ticket before." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"I'm definitely going to buy it, it's been a long time since I've felt like I had to buy something." It feels like last year's Olympics, a Chinese must go to the capital to watch one. ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; In the past few years, I don't know how many high school graduates applied to universities in Beijing just to see the Olympics held in China.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; And next year, the launch of Getaway will feel the same way for many Chinese players.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Eh, award presenters! That's Tyson? ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;In the monitor screen, Tyson stood in the center of the stage, and this year's organizing committee invited him as a guest of honor for several awards.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; At this time, it is the way to "Best Indie Game of the Year" award, and the videos of several games are shown on the big screen in turn, such a comparison of Exploding Man, Flowers, Stunt Moths HD and then the Origin of Everything, God knows why the jury put the game Origin of Everything in the indie game category, it can be said that this is basically the most suspenseless award of the year.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Sure enough, Tyson looked at the card and read out the name of the origin of all things, and the camera camera immediately turned to Ye Shenxi in the second row of the audience, and there were Shan Jie and Chen Xinghan beside him, both of whom were employees of Qingyu Network.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ye Shenxi hugged the two, and on the way to the podium, he high-fived other foreign gamers who had communicated, and then stood on the stage and received the trophy of "Best Independent Game of the Year" from Tyson.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "So Tyson is so short?" Xie Jiaming said.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Tyson's official height is centimeters, and athletes are not entertainment stars, so there is no need to inject water into his height, and Ye Shenxi's height is 3 centimeters on the ferry and Wikipedia.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Now standing next to Tyson, everyone can see clearly, not much higher, but there must be a distance of 5 centimeters.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; But it's a bad guy Tyson

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Ye Shenxi hugged Tyson, and Tyson actually hugged him in a very Chinese way, which was quite standard, and Ye Shenxi also hugged his fist and saluted.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Haha, Tyson would do this." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Maybe I'm going to come to China to make money, learn two Chinese words 'greasy hao', 'crab crab', 'fight Jiahao', and then learn to hug boxing, the skills are enough." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ye Shenxi raised the trophy and thanked many people, including the jury, the organizers, the partner Activision, all the colleagues of Qingyu Network, all the studios, and of course, those players who support Qingyu Network, etc., there are so many people to thank at each award ceremony, but there is not much time left for him to really speak.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The rest of the time, of course, is around the propaganda video that was broadcast before, he told everyone that it was indeed China in ancient times, as for about thousands of years ago, this time is too long to verify, but it was an era when many species and different civilizations were blooming, maybe it was really the world that once existed, he himself can't say.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Just like some people really think that medieval Europe had witches, dragons, vampires and werewolves, all kinds of magical creatures.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; There are many such stories that have been handed down in China, and the time is much earlier than the Middle Ages, and Qingyu Network is happy to show players around the world such an ancient world.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; His speech ended quickly, and he could only say that it was decent, and many players and the media couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and thought that he could reveal more news about Getaway, but Ye Shenxi still had a feeling of "you will be able to see it soon".

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Two and a half hours passed quickly, and everyone was famous.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;As Ye Shenxi made before with IG's female reporter, Uncharted 2 defeated many strong opponents to win the crown of "Game of the Year", which shows that the sales of Getaway have accumulated 0 copies.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Uncharted is undoubtedly one of the brightest superstars of the year, and in addition to this crown jewel, it also took home two awards for "Best P3 Game" and "Best Picture Presentation", and although Naughty Dog lost to RKADY UDI in the "Best Game Studio" contest, it was still arguably the biggest winner of the night.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Best RPG" and "Best P Game" were won by Dragon Age: Origins, which defeated Ren Bliss's Mario and Louis RPG3, P3 exclusive Demon's Souls, and Borderlands Yes, this game was still classified as an RPG type instead of FP, and although its combat style is first-person shooter, it still has character development elements that match RPG

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Best FP" and "Best Multiplayer" were both won by the New Year's Call, which should also be an acceptable result for Activision.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xie Jiaming they still have to go to work.,Didn't see the end.,The final result is also browsing the web to know.,Like many people,,For the blue fish network only won one "best indie game" is still indignant,With the end of VGA200,Basically, the year is about to come to an end。 It is true that the harvest of Qingyu Network in this year's awards season is indeed not complete, although they have also won many awards held by other magazines and media before, large and small, the origin of all things has won more than 40 various awards this year.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; For example, the BAFA GA AARD in April, which won Game of the Year.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; ranked second in the "Top 10 Games of the Year", second only to Uncharted 2;

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Game of the Year by the Associated Press

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; It's too much, but it's just a small win on the final VGA.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;A lot of media have also given predictions for next year.,Basically, the masterpieces that can be released within a year next year have now been exposed several trailers.,Everyone has a fairly high degree of completion.,From the quality they have shown, you can see what a bloody battlefield next year will be.。

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Final Fantasy 3 will be released in the second half of February this year, so it will join the competition for various awards ceremonies next year, just like the origin of everything. Although the game has been on the market for a week, and the reviews from players and the media can only be said to be mixed, the name of Final Fantasy has always been something that no one can ignore.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;200 months,Mass Effect 2 will officially kick off the prelude to the year's various 3A masterpieces,This is also one of the most optimistic works for everyone next year,In its last gayar showed the potential of another god series,Whether it's camera editing,Majestic music,Fascinating plot and those vivid emotional ties and entanglements between game characters,Although there may be some flaws in the combat system, But Gayar has already said that the second generation of combat will have a completely different experience from the first generation, and everyone can see from the exposed actual machine demonstration that this is indeed the case, and there are already many players who can't wait to enter this world again to save the galaxy.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;February is BioShock 2, a continuation of the plot of a generation, which will further improve the dystopian world full of punk elements.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; In March, there are A's Battlefields: Rebel Company 2 and Soni's God of War 3, and players have been waiting too long.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;April has the cell division of Yubi 5: Judgment.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; May is Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands and Red Dead Redemption: Redemption

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Until the month, the FIA's getaway

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; The media has already started to copy it, Getaway v Prince of Persia v God of War, Battlefield v Red Dead Redemption v BioShock

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;But if there is a little analogy element, they can give you a whole horizontal comparison review, even if the game has not yet been launched, only you can't think of it, there is no v.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Even so, there are still many people who believe that Getaway should have booked a lot of nominations for "Best Game" and "Best RPG" at various awards ceremonies next year.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When the Chinese New Year is approaching, Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu are still on vacation, but the heads of global distribution business of several major publishers have come to China one after another.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The Spring Festival and Valentine's Day in 200 years come on the same day, which is simply the right time and place, and natural people are also together. This year, the family did not go to Emei Mountain neatly, the two had a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner at Xia Qingyu's parents' house on Chinese New Year's Eve, and returned to their love nest the next day, how leisurely life is, go shopping together, wash vegetables together, prepare ingredients, go out to walk the dog, play basketball in the indoor basketball hall of the district, dumplings are still cheering on the side.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; I went to the next door to pay New Year's greetings to Grandma Yao, and also received three very large red envelopes, New Year's money, and dumplings, which were naturally collected by my parents.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xia Qingyu shook the red envelope in front of the dumpling and touched its head: "Dumpling, mom will take it for you first, and I'll give it to you when you grow up." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; I don't know how to get dumplings, and my parents basically don't come back if they take them.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When I came back, I took a shower and nestled together on the sofa and waited for a guest to come to the door.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Now it's different from the past, you don't need Ye Shenxi to go to Sequoia City, Santa Monica to find a publisher As we all know, Qingyu Network itself does not do offline distribution, not just offline, including on e-commerce websites like Alexon, they don't do physical versions.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; A product like Getaway is still 4 months away from being listed, and even the publisher hasn't done it yet, and no one will believe it. It's just that the Qingyu network is special, they have enough funds themselves, and they don't need the publisher's agency fees to support the completion of development, and this game doesn't have to worry about finding a publisher at all.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Originally, the estimated time of this game was two years, and the cost was 24 months of salary expenses for 200 teams, with the average salary level of the herring network, integrating the two studios of Funan and Seattle, it was about more than 4,000 US dollars a month, and the net salary for 24 months was 20 million US dollars. The cost of about 200 million yuan, of course, this is only a pure salary, not counting other expenses such as outsourcing dubbing costs, publicity costs, additional peripherals, or the establishment costs of the Maruko Laboratory.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Now the cycle has been shortened, but the number of people has increased a lot compared with the previous estimate, there are about 20 or 0 people, and the R&D cost slightly exceeds the original estimate of 200 million, almost 230 million yuan.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;For such a work, this kind of cost, a, Yubi, Activision they are simply envious. This level is put on the international level, and now it is just above the level of the bottom line of the cost of 3A works. The main reason is that the salary level in China is definitely incomparable with the international level, even if the per capita salary of Qingyu Network has far exceeded that of other top domestic game companies in the same period.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The unhurried attitude of the Qingyu network made A, Yubi, AK- and Activision a little panicked, so they also sent corresponding representatives to China, giving their conditions, including agency fees and distribution scale, publicity funds, etc., Xia Qingyu is in charge of this matter, she said that she will consider it carefully, and then strive to give you an answer as soon as possible.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dawson, Activision's Director of Global Operations? Smith was a late adopter.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Of course he knows that they have been in contact with herring before, but Activision and herring have a happy cooperation in the past, the origin of everything has been online for a year, and now Activision will invest millions of marketing and publicity funds every month, and the long-term sales momentum of this game is a little incomprehensible, so that they feel internally that it can exceed the 23 million sales in the first year after it is launched, and it is also very possible.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; He and Ye Chenxi still have a good personal friendship, and he himself feels that he still knows something about Ye Chenxi, and the other party has a lot of traditional Chinese nostalgia and affection. Last year, he took a fancy to the origin of all things at a glance, and after A rejected Ye Shenxi, he stubbornly fought for the company's internal promotion resources, which is also one of the important elements that created the miracle of game sales. Although this is a win-win situation, and Activision also makes a lot of money, Ye Shenxi should still be grateful to him, which can be seen from his usual daily communication.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; It's like they're meeting representatives from other companies in the company, but they're hosting themselves in their own homes, obviously treating themselves as true friends.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;And at the company level, his personal visit to China as a global director is enough to show his sincerity, so he is very confident.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ye Shenxi and Xia Qingyu opened the door and welcomed Dawson into the house, instantly isolated from the clammy and cold outside.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Dawson, welcome to China. Ye Shenxi said.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Hey, Dawson, long time no see. Xia Qingyu also called Dawson's name the same as Ye Shenxi, and she had a lot of contact with the other party at work, so she was familiar with each other.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "It's a beautiful house, it's a gift from me, I hope you enjoy it." Dawson handed the box in his hand.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Come on, bring something." This is a sentence that Xia Qingyu said in standard Sichuan dialect, Dawson didn't understand it at all, and he was a little confused.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ye Shenxi smiled: "She said thank you, please come in." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Dawson looked at the well-behaved dumplings standing at his feet, with a harmless face, and said with a smile: "This must be dumplings, I know that your pets are also famous in China." He used the transliteration of "jia i", not the English word "duplig", after all, it is a name, and there is no need for translation.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Dumpling seemed to understand that it was talking about it, stuck out his tongue, and handed out his front paws

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Dawson doesn't have a pet himself, but he can understand the meaning of dumplings, and stretches out his right hand to shake it more formally: "Hello, dumplings." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dumplings: "Wow"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Xia Qingyu opened the package of the gift, the standard American gift, they pay attention to practicality, it is obvious that it will be used for dinner, a bottle of wine, the bottle is printed with "Romani?" Kanti?" The words. It's not very expensive, but it's not shabby, the price of this bottle of wine is about 10,000 dollars, and the two of them gladly accepted it, saying that they liked it very much, and everyone should have a good drink when they had dinner later.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; After the three of them took their seats, Dawson said: "I didn't expect China to be so cold, I read the news before that Funan is a warm city, isn't it in southern China." He also rubbed his hands together, a pompous gesture that helped create an atmosphere of intimate communication.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Ye Shenxi said with a smile: "The air humidity in Funan is very high, so there is a feeling of dampness and coldness, and there is still a certain altitude here, about 500 meters, which is definitely not comparable to Santa Monica by the sea." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Xia Qingyu went to the kitchen by herself, today she is both the boss and the housewife, this kind of private meeting, the hostess prepares a sumptuous dinner, and the man and the guests who come from afar to chat in the living room, it is really a typical good life.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dawson didn't expect Xia Qingyu to be proficient in cooking, he had seen a video of Xia Qingyu's side-kicking performance on the Internet before.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; "Natsu, I'm really looking forward to your cooking." He laughed.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;" will surely make you rave. "If Xia Qingyu is the most confident about a few things, I'm afraid the operating company will be ranked behind, kung fu, cooking, and the skills of the master.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; When she entered the kitchen, Dawson whispered, "You don't get along the same way as you rumored." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Ye Shenxi haha: "How can others know how we really get along." ”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After a long time, the table was served, and there was a table of sumptuous dishes.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; After drinking again, Dawson asked, "Paa, I heard that you have already met with representatives of A and Yubi?" Dawson asked in a nonchalant, casual tone.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; It's impossible to say that I'm not in a hurry, but I can't help but ask.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Yes, they prescribe some conditions. Ye Shenxi said.
