Chapter 405. 【Restricted Event】
In the president's office, Yi Feiyang met this legendary game tycoon, who was as shy and unspoken as before, and no one could have imagined that he would be the development giant of today's game industry.
"Coffee or tea?"
"Coffee bar. I'm used to coffee, and I used to drink at least dozens of cups every night when I was developing a new game! Alan Adhan said with a smile.
For him, Yi Feiyang is a very creative partner, and in many ways, Yi Feiyang can come up with many wonderful ideas. Sometimes Allen even thinks that if Yi Feiyang doesn't become a director and changes to game development, then he will probably steal his job.
In fact, where did Alan know about it, Yi Feiyang was also very powerful, and he really asked him to engage in game development, he had to be tired to death.
"How's it going, is Blizzard's business going well?" Yi Feiyang asked with a smile.
"Fortunately, the Warcraft series, the Diablo series, and the Hunger Games series have become our company's signature!" Alan is glad that Yi Feiyang can ask this question, because it is more proof of his achievements and tells the biggest investor behind the scenes that your money is not in vain.
"That's good...... But I heard that the new game, Journey to the West, seems to be in a bit of trouble......"
"Oh. That's just a small mistake in the technique, yes, it's basically solved, as long as it passes the simulation experiment, it can be officially launched! ”
"Well, let's put it this way, Allen......" Yi Feiyang thought for a moment and said, "I want to modify this game a little. ”
"What. Modifying the game? Alan paused for a moment. Know the way. Yi Feiyang has never bothered much about game publishing. Only occasionally provide some golden ideas for development.
"Don't be surprised, I won't let you make drastic changes, I don't have enough time, and I can't ignore your efforts." Yi Feiyang comforted, "It's just that some changes have been made to the introduction of the game's story and the name of the game." ”
Specifically, the background of the story of "Journey to the West" is that Sun Wukong went to the west to learn scriptures, overcoming difficulties and obstacles along the way, fighting monsters and upgrading. The process of equipment upgrading, now it only needs to be changed to Monkey King making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, fighting monsters and upgrading all the way, fighting equipment upgrades, that's all; As for the name, you need to cooperate and directly modify it to "Havoc in Heaven"! ”
As soon as Yi Feiyang finished speaking, Alan Adhan understood, "Yi, do you mean to make this game a game version of your movie?" ”
“Bingo! That's right! That's it! Yi Feiyang snapped his fingers.
"But it's easy. This modification is different from what we have prepared before. Yes, some are not quite suitable. ”
"Oh, Alan, nothing is perfect in this world, not even Venus, the god of beauty, has a broken arm? So, I hope you can help me, or rather, I need your help! Yi Feiyang said very sincerely.
Alan Adhan would have thought that Yi Feiyang would say such a thing, you must know that the Daoist people are the best people in Hollywood today, and they have all asked you for help, what else can you do?
Alan Adhan, who has always been stubborn and does not easily change his principles, "succumbed" for the first time.
"Well then, man. I'll do what you say, but I can't guarantee that it will work. ”
"Hehe, I see what you mean, Alan. But everything is man-made, and even if it doesn't work out, we have a clear conscience, don't we? ”
Yi Feiyang is very happy that Alan Adhan can listen to his words, after all, as a giant in the game industry, Allen's voice in the game is definitely much stronger than his own.
……
On the part of Blizzard Game Company, no one could have imagined that because of Yi Feiyang's words, they had to work overtime to revise the entire set of "Journey to the West", no, to be precise, "Havoc in Heaven"!
A week has passed in the blink of an eye.
Just when people are gradually learning to forget the ups and downs caused by Yi Feiyang, the king of hype, and forgetting what Chinese blockbuster he is going to make, Blizzard Games, as a giant in the game industry in North America and even the world, officially announced that the company's latest online game is ready to be officially launched for testing on March 15, hoping that the majority of game fans will pay attention.
And the name of this new game is called "Havoc in Heaven"!
With a bang, the entire gaming market exploded.
Because the name is so familiar, it was still buzzing in my ears before. Now, it's in my ears again.
However, some people who have a deep understanding of Blizzard's development games have voiced doubts, isn't Blizzard's new game "Journey to the West", why did it become "Havoc in Heaven" in the blink of an eye?! What the hell is going on here?!
Under the strong publicity of the game "Havoc in Heaven", it soon occupied the front page of the online news, and the speed of the Internet was amazing, yes, extremely fast, and in just three days, the news had spread all over the world. All game fans around the world know that Blizzard Games is about to launch its own new game, and this new game is exactly the same as the name of the new work of the great director Yi Feiyang.
Legendaul, legend has it that this game was built specifically according to the movie version!
"China's easy movie has not been filmed, the game is the first to be listed, and the publicity has opened a new milestone!"
"The game market has caused a sensation, and "Havoc in Heaven" has become popular before it is filmed!"
"Blizzard games are coming, and Havoc in Heaven is a double bullet!"
……
With the public opinion, this new game was officially launched for testing.
In just one week, the game has the highest launch rate in the North American gaming industry, and the number of people signing up to play the game is still increasing.
With the popularity of the game, Yi Feiyang's movie of the same name was once again pushed to the top of public opinion, and President George W. Bush, who was struggling to make headlines, was once again brushed down by this news.
In this month's fierce game war, the game "Havoc in Heaven" has opened the door to the game world with the help of Yi Feiyang's style and dark horse posture. It has become another new highlight in Blizzard's game.
If you do a very simple data calculation. Havoc in Heaven is a game in just half a month. The number of customers has exceeded 33 million!
It is interesting to note that most of these game groups are typical game fans, who want to play as soon as they hear that a new game is on the market, while the other part is Yi Feiyang's loyal fans, and the reason why they will register this game is completely out of idol worship and anticipation of the drama "Havoc in Heaven".
But anyway. This game is red, popular, and explosive!!
No one would have thought that Yi Feiyang would cleverly change his name and hook this game with his own movie, let alone that the two would complement each other and achieve such penetrating news.
For a while, everyone knew Yi Feiyang, and no one knew about his new play "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace", and everyone knew that the game "adapted" from this play was selling well!
"Boom! No one expected that China Yi's new movie "Havoc in Heaven" has not yet been released. And the game version adapted from this drama has already begun to be tested online. According to the data we've gotten, the number of people following the game has reached a staggering 40 million! Yes. It's only been half a month, so you can imagine how attractive Blizzard's game is, or how topical the game itself is. However, really smart people understand that there is a giant standing behind all this, that is the great Hollywood director Yi Feiyang! Yes, that's him! This character, who keeps creating topics for us, has now created a new topic for us, that is, how wonderful his movies really are! ”
"Extending from games to movies, this is the ultimate goal of China Yi to do publicity, yes, he did it, at least from now on, many people have begun to pay attention to this drama and what kind of miracle this drama will bring to everyone. However, we must also see the challenge he faces, that is, another Titanic that the great director Cameron is carefully building - "Avatar"! It is said that this super blockbuster, which has spent more than 200 million US dollars and is still increasing the amount of investment, will become a new milestone in Hollywood and even the world's super blockbusters! Therefore, we are very much looking forward to this battle of the century between China Yi and Cameron, and see who of the two will have the most laugh! —USA Today.
Since "USA Today" was acquired by Yi Feiyang's Dream Entertainment, it has joined forces with "Entertainment Xintiandi" and others to form "Xintiandi Media Company", and Yi Feiyang's strategy for the development of this newspaper and magazine is to do real-time reporting. Be impartial, be targeted, and focus on topical news!
Generally speaking, Yi Feiyang does not simply regard "USA Today" as his own mouth, on the contrary, he gives it a broad mind and public opinion space, and does not prohibit it from doing any reports that are unfavorable to him.
This is commendable, after all, no one will let their magazines speak ill of themselves, but Yi Feiyang allows this.
Because in Yi Feiyang's view, the tongue he needs is not a parrot, but a media with his own brain and thinking, and "USA Today" is just right.
As Yi Feiyang expected, with the comments of "USA Today", it can be said that it added fuel to the fire and pushed his preparation for "Havoc in Heaven" to the top.
However, in Yi Feiyang's opinion, this kind of power is not enough, and it is not enough to tie games and movies together, so he has to take action.
……
End of March 2004.
Blizzard Games announced that the spokesperson of this game, pop diva Beyoncé, and Hollywood's handsome boy Keanu Reeves, will join forces with super director Yi Feiyang to do game interaction in a large shopping mall in Los Angeles.
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an explosion throughout Los Angeles, and those fans of the game roared, and those movie fans were even more frantically clamoring to participate.
What was originally just a small game endorsement event immediately escalated into a large-scale fan meeting!
On the one hand, the organizers of the shopping mall who are forced to be excited and happy by the sudden explosion, and estimate that they are going to be a hit, but what is even more distressing is what to do if there are too many people participating at that time? !
Safety first, especially a big name like Yi Feiyang, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?!
Thinking that Yi Feiyang had been assassinated, the owner of this shopping mall gasped, no, he must ensure the safety of this event!
As a result, the number of people in this game endorsement event was limited, and only a maximum of 300 people could participate. And you must also have a valid document to prove your innocence......
As soon as this news came out. It immediately made many people unhappy. What do you mean, it's the United States here, it's engaging in such restrictions! It's harder than meeting the president of the United States!
"We severely resist this kind of restrictive activities, even if we can't see celebrities, we don't lower our status so much!"
"We are all innocent people, but they are about to be innocent, and they despise this kind of restriction!"
"What? To participate in the event, you also need to look at the ID card and check whether there is a criminal record? Just kidding, who would take part in this bullshit event! ”
……
Some of them cursed. He scoffed at the directorial event held this time, sarcastically and ridiculed. In their opinion, absolutely no one will participate in such a degrading event!
But they were wrong, on the day of the event, not to mention the shopping mall square, the main venue of the event, but to say that the square was full of people, holding documents one by one, hoping that the other party could let themselves in after the inspection.
Seeing this kind of scene, those guys who have a high sense of self-esteem are stunned. And then there is a heart-wrenching sorrow. I was sad that my compatriots were not angry, and they were slapped in the face and came to participate in the event. Mourn that you will die to save face and suffer sin. obviously had the opportunity to get close to idol stars, but he couldn't open his mouth because he opposed checking his identity.
In short, this game endorsement activity of "Havoc in Heaven" is overcrowded.
As the organizer, the mall set up a huge stage in the center of the square, and on the stage, Yi Feiyang and others appeared one after another in the cheers of fans.
At this meeting with fans, Yi Feiyang, who has been behind the scenes, had the loudest voice in the shouts of the audience.
"China is easy!"
"China is easy!"
When everyone's eyes began to pay attention to the stage, Yi Feiyang led Cheng Long, Beyoncé, and Keanu Reeves to the stage!
On stage, Beyoncé appeared in a short red dress. All of a sudden, the men present were excited.
Keanu Revis, who is a girl killer, appeared in a black suit, screaming, and the waves present were higher and higher.
As the most famous Chinese superstar in Hollywood, although Cheng Long's popularity among these young people is slightly low, as a proud Chinese, he still appeared with a very friendly expression in the cheers of everyone.
Of course, as the director of the movie "Havoc in Heaven", as well as the spokesperson of this game, Yi Feiyang's appearance aroused the most enthusiastic voice in the audience.
For a long time, Yi Feiyang rarely endorsed advertisements, let alone any online games, but this time it was different, he not only starred in the play "Havoc in Heaven", but also endorsed the game of the same name in all aspects. However, as a spokesperson, he did not dress up as a monkey, but wore a black suit like Keanu Reeves, and his solemn dress was enough to make people feel his maturity and stability.
Although there are only a few people such as Yi Feiyang on the stage, there are a large number of bodyguards under the stage who are secretly protecting them, especially Yi Feiyang, who is the focus of protection.
If you pay a little attention, you can find out how much those people pay attention to the movements around them, and if they only have the slightest unfavorable move against Yi Feiyang and the others, they will be cleared or driven out of the city. It can be said that the whole scene is more careful and cautious than the US president's speech in public, as well as the thorough protection.
Since it is an endorsement game, it is indispensable to make some games in terms of game interaction.
The game arranged by Yi Feiyang is very simple, neither playing golden hoop sticks nor playing live kung fu performances, but a very simple balloon shooting competition.
Balloon shooting is popular in many amusement parks, and now it's a lot of fun to arrange it here.
On the scene, balloons and air guns were prepared, which seemed to be a very simple game, and more people must have played such a game, but in the face of Yi Feiyang's carefully prepared program, the audience must be loyal fans or game fans, and after answering questions about movies and games, they can shoot and break the balloons in front of them.
It can be said that this kind of gameplay is equivalent to testing the loyalty of fans, and only those friends who really like Yi Feiyang, like his movies, and really like the game "Havoc in Heaven" can successfully advance to the game.
Although the conditions of this game are a little "harsh", as fans of Yi Feiyang, Beyoncé, as well as Keanu Reeves and Cheng Long, many people still can't wait to raise their hands to participate.
"Hey, dear Yi, isn't it a little too difficult to do this, shoot balloons and answer questions, God, isn't this both civil and military?" The host couldn't help but ask.
Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "It's challenging when it's difficult, isn't it?" Well, if whoever wins this game, we grant him a wish, how about that? ”
"What, wish-fulfillment?" The host came to the spirit, "Is it okay to have any wish?" ”
"Well, it's mainly autographed photos and stuff, if it's too much, we'll refuse! Hehe! ”
"Then we fans have to cheer up!" The host smiled, "If I don't want to host the show, I would also like to participate!" Easy, I'm your iron fan! ”
"Don't worry, I'll send you a signed photo later!"
"Yes, that's great!" The host yelled out of shape.
"Don't make a fuss, we're still waiting for the competition!"
"yes, let's get started!"
The fans under the stage urged, they had gone through a lot of hardships to squeeze in to participate in the competition, especially to be able to get close to their idols, which was happier than anything else, but this damn host was too noisy and didn't take into account everyone's feelings.
Only then did the host realize that he had become an "enemy of the public", and quickly apologized, and then announced that "the game begins"! (To be continued......)
