The day before the New Year's Day holiday, the high-profile game "Machine Battle King" was officially launched.

Gu Miao, who received the message in advance, turned on the computer early and pre-downloaded and installed the game files.

At 11 o'clock in the afternoon, the game was launched.

There is no imaginary card line and queuing, and Wanbao Games, which is prepared for diversion in advance, is quite stable in the network.

One-click login of Wanbao account.

Choose a different server region of Telecom/Netcom, edit the nickname, enter the beginner teaching level, and randomly match opponents with the same "ladder score".

There is no PVE mode.

The main focus is a player against the player's PVP competition, and the player's respective race choice is determined by guessing the pros and cons of coins.

The game is very action-oriented and conscious.

Start with a bare base, mine, collect energy, amethyst, recruit classes and upgrade buildings, and then expand your zone of influence until you defeat the other player......

As a light RTS player, Gu Miao's APM (number of operation instructions per minute) is very low, and his performance in this kind of game can only be described as ugly.

No way!

In an RTS game like this with strong competitive elements, the apm is too low to be a fatal weakness, and it is not surprising that it is easy to be defeated by others.

The game "Mecha War" gave him the same feeling as "StarCraft" and "Warcraft" that he had played before.

It is very operable.

Strong is strong, there are not so many bells and whistles, other people's APM is several times that of yours, and crushing you is as easy as crushing an ant.

Fortunately, Gu Miao will surrender!

If you can't beat the master, he can't surrender and rematch a novice to find confidence?

The game has just been launched, and the level of players is uneven, and the masters with RTS foundation are terrifyingly strong, but the newcomers who try RTS competitive games for the first time are also suffocating.

It's not a big problem, though.

This kind of chaos is limited to the time when the game has just been launched.

After a while, the masters have played higher ladder scores, and they can't rank ordinary players, and the matching opponents will return to normal levels.

"Make an anti-cheat plan!"

After experiencing a few games, Gu Miao told President Xiaolin: "This kind of game can be popular for many years, and it can also become the main project of e-sports, but it can't be ruined by plug-ins." ”

"What's that......"

"We're not too worried about cheating, because unless it's an infinite resource, invincible kind of violent hanging, it shouldn't be of much use."

President Kobayashi explained with a smile: "When you meet a master, you can't beat it or can't beat it, and if the APM is not enough, you may not even be able to go out of your home." ”

Also!

Gu Miao thought about it, this is indeed the case, unless the plug-in of this kind of game is unlimited resources, it is really not much of a threat.

It's not an FPS after all.

If there is any type of game that is the hardest hit area of plug-ins, it must be FPS games! Compared to rampant FPS cheats, games like RTS are definitely much better.

"Okay, you pay more attention."

"The game is doing quite well, and you need to pay more attention to the operation, but don't drop the chain."

Based on Miao's experience.

RTS competitive games like this, if managed properly, will not be too easy to be popular for more than ten or twenty years.

After all, the player stickiness is very high.

And this kind of game, thanks to its strong competitiveness, is very promising and highly enjoyable to watch whether it is a competition or an e-sports.

It can't be ruined by shit operations.

……

It's the end of the year.

Wanbao's annual year-end summary meeting and outstanding employee commendation conference are also in full swing.

Before that, Gu Miao went to the Wolfsburg studio to inspect and watch the final version of the animated film "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Year of the Monkey".

It makes no difference!

The final version and the sample films he had seen before for review had not changed or been cut.

This is also normal.

After all, this movie has no sensitive elements or footage that can be deleted, basically what it is like when it is submitted for review, and what it is like after the review.

If there's anything that makes the final version different from the demo for review, it's probably the music......

The dailies don't have a soundtrack.

And this time, a large number of soundtracks have been added to the film, and the addition of these soundtracks has made the look and feel of the whole movie instantly rise to a higher level.

"Released on the first day of the Lunar New Year......"

When talking about the movie schedule, Director Wang and Gu Miao's expressions were a little dignified.

Unlike last year's Lunar New Year stalls, this year's Lunar New Year stalls can only be described in one word, that is, "surrounded by strong enemies".

Not a single soft persimmon!

It is probably the domestic film industry, which has been silent for a long time, that has finally ushered in a round of outbreak, and the overall quality of the films released during this Spring Festival holiday is far higher than in previous years.

This made Director Wang very stressed.

Originally, "The Year of the Monkey" was very ordinary, and after watching it, everyone said that this movie for the Year of the Monkey was not as good as the previous Year of the Snake, the Year of the Horse and the Year of the Goat.

As a result, it also encountered an outbreak of domestic films, and a large number of excellent works were released...... This is really Big Ben under the courier, the top is placed and the bottom is sent.

"It doesn't matter, I'll do it."

Gu Miao patted Director Wang on the shoulder and encouraged him: "It's okay, not only one of your movies will be released this year, but the Neon Branch also has a theatrical version!" ”

"Oh? They also have movies? ”

"That's right, the theatrical version of the Sailor Moon series." Gu Miao grinned and said, "You are also difficult brothers, and there are people who support the box office." ”

"Isn't it?"

Director Wang asked with some suspicion: "That's Sailor Moon, the theatrical version with this name, will it actually hit the street?" ”

"What do you say......"

"If the movie doesn't hit the street, it has nothing to do with what your title is called, it's not good-looking, no matter what the name is, it's useless." Gu Miao shook her head and sighed.

The theatrical version of "Sailor Moon", this is a project carried out by the Neon Division itself, Gu Miao did not interfere or ask, but simply learned about it through email.

It can only be said that it is terrible.

The internal reviews are low, not to mention the final release results.

For this theatrical version, Gu Miao's only hope is to recover the production cost, and he doesn't dare to think about it at all.

Compared with.

Although the internal evaluation of "The Year of the Monkey" is also very average, at least it is full of atmosphere, and it may be able to counterattack during the Spring Festival, a festival of family reunion.

That's why Gu Miao said, no matter how miserable Director Wang is, someone will give him a back.

The box office expectation of "The Year of the Monkey" is 300 million yuan, while the theatrical version of "Sailor Moon" by the Neon Division is only 500 million......

The unit is 円!

The production cost of the two movies is almost the same, and in terms of the production cycle, the theatrical version of the American War will take longer, but the expected box office is one day and another.

It can only be said that the gang of hairs in the neon branch have too shallow understanding of animated movies, and they can only do TV animation, and they don't know what to do in the theatrical version at all.

The IP of Sailor Moon was very popular back then, but the follow-up is empty, and now it is not good......
