Chapter 181: Arrival at Amerika
"The stars in the sky are naughty~snuggled in the arms of the moon~"
"Bright and shining bright~ as if quietly playing~"
"Twinkle and twinkle ~ look up at the stars in the sky ~"
"I can't count down there~It's blinking on top~"
"Humming softly..."
"Stop."
In the studio, Meng Shu took off his headphones. Got up and nodded to a female voice teacher in the studio.
The latter hurriedly walked out and inquired about the results.
"May I ask Mr. Meng, is this okay?"
"Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Shu smiled and put down the score.
"It's not a big problem with songs, we've tried several ways to sing, and the one I want already has it, thank you."
When the female voice teacher heard this, she was immediately overjoyed.
"Yes, can you let me hear which way of singing is qualified? I've been thinking about it for more than an hour, and this children's song is singing flowers, and if it doesn't work, it will really be unbearable. ”
Meng Shu sold a pass and didn't tell her which one she chose.
"You'll know when the stage play is staged, don't worry, you've worked hard."
Well, Mr. Meng has talked about this, and the dubbing teacher is not easy to force, so he has to give up.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Shu went to remind Mr. Li again. Tell him that tomorrow's plane can end the rehearsal early tonight and go back to the hotel to prepare.
After Mr. Li said that he understood, Meng Shu rushed into the office and began to edit the music.
The children's song "Stars Shine" has a high similarity with "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle".
And he also asked most of the company if they knew the children's song "Stars Shine", and the answer was yes.
Not only do they know, but they all know how to sing.
There was even an employee who said that if he couldn't sing "Stars Shine", then he was either an alien or someone from another world.
Meng Shu was a little embarrassed.
The matter of music copyright has also been solved very well.
The song "Stars Shine" was purchased on a foreign music platform.
The price is clearly marked, and there is an electronic contract as evidence.
So Meng Shu paid the copyright fee directly, and then quickly asked the dubbing teacher of the stage team to sing.
As a result, several dubbing teachers came down, but they were all unsatisfactory.
Only the last one has the bleak effect of the original world "Dead Space".
But this is also a result that took more than an hour to come out.
I see that I am going to leave for Amerika tomorrow, but the promotional video of the press conference has not yet been released.
Looking at the time, it was already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, and there was still an hour and a half before the end of work.
"Looks like we're going to have to work overtime again tonight."
Meng Shu sighed lightly and simply got up and poured himself a cup of coffee.
I'm going to work overtime anyway, so what's the hurry?
Take your time.
So, Meng Shu's addition was added until 2 o'clock in the morning.
As a result, he yawned the next day and came to the company with sleepy eyes.
As soon as I arrived downstairs at the company, I saw a long-distance bus.
This is rented to go to the airport, because it is more than 20 people together, so the car is naturally not good, you have to take a bus.
Now, the stage team is on the side of the car.
Some are eating breakfast, some are putting their own salutes, and the bus driver is also helping to tidy up.
Meng Shu took out his mobile phone and looked at the time, 6:40. The boarding time is 11 a.m. sharp.
It seems that Mr. Li came earlier than he thought.
Meng Shu simply said hello to everyone, and then went to have breakfast.
When I came back, I counted the number of people with Mr. Li and officially set off at 7:10.
Soon, the bus was on the high speed.
Everyone in the car seemed a little excited when they were about to go to Amerika, and they chatted happily in the early part of the journey.
Meng Shu himself was also very energetic at the beginning, chatting with Mr. Li, and at the same time learning about the E3 exhibition with Director Lian on the V letter.
From her side, she learned that Infinite Internet Entertainment had arrived at Amerika a week earlier, and then began to decorate her booth area.
and said that when Meng Shu and the others arrived, they would let people pick up the same hotel to check in.
After Meng Shu thanked him, he was about halfway through the drive, and finally couldn't help the eyelids that came from staying up all night, and fell asleep in the car.
In this way, 3 hours later, everyone entered the airport, and Meng Shu slept in the waiting area.
More than 50 minutes later, everyone got on the plane, and Meng Shu continued to sleep.
During the period, wake up, eat, go to the toilet, etc.
It wasn't until more than 10 hours later that we finally arrived at Amerika.
The faces of the people who got off the plane were full of fatigue, and some of them were unwell because of sitting for a long time.
It was about 9 o'clock in the morning of Amerika time, and Meng Shu and the others were walking in the airport yawning.
"It's as uncomfortable to sit on a long-haul plane as it is on a long-haul bus."
"yes, I don't even feel like my ass is my own."
"It's boring and uncomfortable, my feet can't be stretched straight, and it's uncomfortable to sit no matter how I sit. I guess the only long distance that doesn't hurt is the boat. ”
"The main thing is that you can't play with your phone, just wait, it's too uncomfortable. It really feels like time flies slowly. ”
"That's right, the main thing is that more than ten hours on the plane is too boring."
Everyone chatted and soothed the feeling of exhaustion.
Meng Shu, who was walking in front, listened to the actors' complaints, and more or less agreed in his heart.
The long-distance transportation is really tiring, but fortunately it is enough to get through it.
Now the feeling of having your feet on the ground is stronger than anything else.
When you get to the hotel, you can sleep well and refresh your spirits.
Soon, everyone left the airport. According to the tips given by the director, I got on a bus that came to receive me, and then rushed all the way to the hotel.
During this period, more than 2 hours passed, and everyone was really tortured, and none of them were as energetic as when they first set off.
Finally arrived at the hotel, and everyone got rid of the air conditioning and really breathed the air.
At this time, at the door of the hotel, Director Lian was already waiting.
Seeing the people who got off the car, she stepped forward with a smile, took out her mobile phone and dialed Meng Shu's number.
Although the two companies have been working together for a year, neither Director Lian nor Meng Shu have ever seen each other.
Looking at the people who got out of the car in front of them to salute, the poor supervisor couldn't ask where Meng Shu was directly, and he could only find someone by calling.
And this method did work, and the ringtone quickly allowed her to find the other party.
A young man in casual clothes smoking a cigarette in the front of his car.
"Hello, is it Mr. Meng?"
Meng Shu, who was holding his mobile phone and hadn't had time to answer it, heard the voice, only to see a woman about 35 years old standing behind him with a smile.
The voice was very familiar, Meng Shu would not hear it wrong, thinking that this was Director Pian.
Putting away the phone, Meng Shu glanced at her hastily.
Director Lian looks a little unattractive, but on the whole, he looks energetic, and at first glance he is a woman who has been in the workplace for a long time.
Meng Shu nodded, smiled, and stretched out his right hand at the same time.
"It's me, Director Pian, right, just listen to your voice, it's very recognizable."
Director Lian was slightly stunned after seeing the real person, and couldn't help but be a little surprised in his heart.
Although I have communicated with Mr. Meng many times on the phone before, I can tell that he is very young and very young.
But when I saw it today, I couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The other party is a little younger than she imagined.
Dressed in ordinary casual clothes, Mr. Meng in front of him looked like a young man who had just graduated from college, and it was difficult to associate him with Boss Meng who seemed to be in control of everything.
I have to say that people can't look good.
At this age, Boss Meng is at most an intern in Infinite Internet Entertainment.
But in fact, it has become one of the key partners of Infinite Net Entertainment.
This gap is really big.
Director Lian stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Meng Shu politely.
"Mr. Meng, you too, have cooperated for more than a year. I've finally met a real person today, and you're younger than I thought. ”
"It's been hard along the way, Mr. Meng."
Meng Shu nodded, took two puffs of his cigarette, looked at Director Lian, and then looked at the hotel.
"In this exhibition, are you Mr. Liang also here?"
Director Lian shook his head when he heard this.
"Mr. Liang generally does not participate in this kind of game event, and the company has arranged for others to promote the game at the exhibition."
"Propaganda games?"
When Meng Shu heard this, he immediately became interested.
"It's not me, is it?"
"Indeed, I've heard you mention it before. It's said that you're working on an FPS game in-house, and it's been made now? ”
Director Mercy laughed dryly.
"I don't know, it's their game development team, and I'm not in the same department, I don't know much."
"That's right."
Meng Shu nodded in understanding.
"So you're going to have a press conference at the E3 show, right?"
Director Lian shook his head again after hearing this.
"That's not it, we're just promoting it on a venue given by the organizers, and we don't plan to do any kind of press conference."
"Their fees are too expensive, and our games are focused on the domestic market. Although I will also do overseas translation on the cyber platform, the core users are not foreign, so the company's publicity department feels that it is not worth holding a game conference. ”
"Besides..."
Director Lian looked at the busy people on the bus behind him, and stroked his forehead hair.
“… Mr. Meng, your big move is almost carried out regardless of the cost, which as a partner, it is natural to give up competition to support. ”
Meng Shu couldn't help but grin and wave his hand when he heard it.
"You're welcome, Director. By the way, has the temporary venue on the E3 organizer's side been completed? ”
Director Lian raised his eyebrows and hurriedly spoke.
"You mean that the real-life game scene, don't worry, I've been following up. Take a break today, and tomorrow we can go to E3. Anyway, there are still about four or five days before the official opening, so it's too late. ”
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
Hearing this, Meng Shu knew in his heart that this place was the same as the E3 exhibition in the original world.
Game manufacturers who have signed up for the exhibition can enter the venue anytime and anywhere, without waiting for the open day.
In that case, there are still four to five days before the official opening.
During this period, it is not in vain, you have to contact the technical team of the H and C clubs of Shangdongying as soon as possible, and let them cooperate with the actors of the stage play to rehearse.
After chatting with Director Lian for a few more words, Meng Shu entered the pre-arranged hotel with the stage team.
Although it was ordered with the help of Unlimited Internet Entertainment, Meng Shu knew that the money was counted on his head.
After all, the only game and unlimited online entertainment are two companies, and it is impossible for one company to pay for the other company.
After the break, that night, I had a meal with the team of Infinite Internet Entertainment and exchanged experiences with each other in the game.
On the second day, Meng Shu set off to the E3 scene with the stage team and Infinite Net Entertainment.
When they arrived at their destination, they were separated from each other.
After all, Infinite Online Entertainment also has its own venue to be responsible for, and Director Lian helped with this when he and the others didn't come yet, which has already made Meng Shu very grateful, and the rest should be taken over by himself.
Soon, Meng Shu led everyone to the booth venue of the only game, and found that construction was underway here, and the game building was being built.
Meng Shu went in and walked around by himself, maybe because it was not finished yet, it was not very good. But in terms of scale, at least it is decent.
When the time is finished, two staff members will be arranged to roam around as monster characters in the game, giving players a good realistic experience.
In addition, Meng Shu also met with two technical team leaders of H and C here.
When they first met, the three of them almost unanimously communicated in English.
After a brief introduction, the two responsible persons took Meng Shu and others to the independent venue where the game conference was ready to be held.
As soon as he entered, Meng Shu was pleasantly surprised.
It's not that the whole independent venue is beautifully decorated, but the venue is very spacious, and it looks like it can easily accommodate thousands of people.
The stage, in particular, basically spans half of the venue. The performance of 3D virtual characters is definitely enough, but I don't know if there is such a big space for the actors behind the scenes.
At the back of the stage, there is an electronic display screen that is the same height and width as the wall.
Anyone who has watched a live stage performance knows that the function of this large electronic screen is to focus on and enlarge the performance on the stage. Because only in this way can people who are far away from the audience be able to see the performance on the stage clearly through the electronic screen.
And if the distance is close, just watch the stage directly, which can be said to be convenient for the audience.
"It's a good venue, we have to set it up as soon as possible to leave time for rehearsals."
Meng Shu, who saw the venue, was very satisfied, and said in English to the person in charge of the two societies.
"Absolutely, we'll set it up as soon as possible. The projection equipment is already installed, you see. ”
The two persons in charge took Meng Shu and others to the stage and pointed to several projection devices on the top, which were obviously different from other lamps and lanterns in the venue, and they were additionally installed at a glance.
Regarding this, Meng Shu already knew something about it before he came, so he just nodded and said that he had done a good job.
For the rest, the two people in charge said that they would put a special transparent screen on the stage, which is difficult to see with the naked eye. Then the device is projected onto it to achieve a 360° virtual 3D stereoscopic effect.
This point is similar to what Meng Shu himself understands.
But after all, before the official opening of E3, the stage play still needs to continue to practice. Especially now that the equipment is available, rehearsals must be carried out to avoid performance accidents.
Meng Shu had a brief communication with the two technical leaders of Dongying, and explained to Mr. Li.
Eventually, the two parties went their separate ways.
Dongying's technical team installed tools and equipment, and Mr. Li stepped up rehearsals at the back of the stage.
Then, after a full day of testing, the projection equipment and screens used for the performance were all in order, and it was ready for rehearsals.
Early the next morning, Meng Shu and others came to the E3 exhibition again.
This time, we started straight to getting the actors dressed in professional, facial capture suits.
The Dongying technical team imported and adapted the monster models and character models that had been designed for a long time, and projected them onto the stage screen in real time through the joint tracking device on the motion capture suit and the facial expression collection of the actors.
Because the technical team used the entire stage as a virtual background in advance, the real stage didn't look the same when the projection equipment projected the image onto the screen.
But when the 3D character appears in the background of the real stage, the three-dimensional feeling of the two-dimensional coming to the three-dimensional comes out.
During the test, Meng Shu himself also ran to the booth to see the real stage background and 3D virtual characters on the screen up close.
He was sure that the people sitting in the audience would definitely think that some black technology made the 3D characters appear in reality.
As everyone knows, it is a screen, with pictures of the real stage as the background.
The virtual animation effects are also done, and according to the script, only these effects need to be 'played' in a specific episode.
After several tests, the technical support in charge of the special effects has been able to perfectly connect with the people on stage.
After a rehearsal, Meng Shu only felt that the money was well spent.
Then next, it's up to Mr. Li and the actors.
So, in the new round of rehearsals, all the work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Meng Shu sat in the audience from afar, watching everyone's performance.
He looked at the stage for a while, and looked at the electronic screen behind the stage for a while, and was satisfied.
However, for the actors, there are still some difficulties.
After all, everyone usually wears their daily clothes for rehearsals, and now they can't let go of this kind of restrained motion capture suit for rehearsals.
But as they rehearsed over and over again, the actors gradually picked up and became more and more proficient.
Meng Shu watched from afar and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Mr. Li and these actors are very dedicated, and after such a long run-in, they can be completely trusted
So, under such intense rehearsals, time passed day by day.
When the last practice was close to perfection, Meng Shu, who had already watched several games in a row, couldn't help but get up and applaud loudly.
Now, everything is going on as planned.
And the E3 exhibition has officially started as scheduled!
