Chapter 209: Fiasco (1st Update)

Standing under the square, Gao Tianyun looked at the holographic projection in front of him with satisfaction, extremely satisfied.

He originally wanted to show this thing at the Magic City Game Show, but after knowing that Fangcheng Studio was going to make a big move here, he immediately came here together and released the things he had prepared in advance.

It turns out that the large holographic projection works amazingly well.

The square in front of the venue has been set up as a stage, and the warm-up game inside the venue can be directly projected outside, and only the new projection can show the breathtaking feeling of the mecha in "Machine Spirit", and the big screen opposite is completely inferior to this side.

My lord, times have changed!

The venue opposite was already half empty, and the spectators who had originally bought tickets came out of the opposite venue to watch the game.

The media reporters didn't even care about James's dissuasion, and rushed out of the venue with long guns and short guns, just to grab a good position in time and report the scene in front of them.

Finding that more and more people were gathered around, Hoffman, the host of the venue, began to let people in, and the huge mecha became the best advertisement at the moment, and also gave James on the opposite side a resounding slap.

Looking at the half-empty venue in the blink of an eye, James's face became more and more gloomy.

His assistant tried in vain to call his superiors, but none of them could get through.

Even the contestants in the opening exhibition match in the venue looked so unrelenting, and their eyes drifted out of the window from time to time to watch the game on the opposite side.

Although there is also an exhibition match on the other side, it looks much cooler than "Fallen Mecha".

One of the two sides of the battle is against the "evil door", and the other is against the "six sons", and the two players seem to have a deep hatred in the sea of blood, and they do everything they can to kick the crotch, completely rushing to kill each other.

But because of this, the effect of the exhibition match was very explosive, and in the end, the action of the six sons tearing the mecha even made the contestants here cheer, and a group of people even forgot that they were playing the exhibition match, and shouted for half a minute before realizing where they were.

The opening ceremony here ended hastily, and the official competition finally began, but a few players performed abnormally crotch-pulling, which was not at all the same as their usual performance.

After losing the game, they calmly shook hands with their opponents and congratulated them, and then turned around and ran to the opposite venue to participate in the opposite knockout round.

Seeing these ruthless players, James's face was like ashes.

Compared to the desertion here, the opposite game is the real game.

The deafening cheers sounded from time to time, and the holographic projection with a full sense of the scene made the audience addicted, and he didn't need to look at him to know that tomorrow's game report is definitely "Machine Spirit", and "Fallen Mecha" is only worthy of being a supporting role, and there can only be a small tofu block in the corner.

In fact, before tomorrow, social media in North America was flooded.

Nearby residents held their mobile phones to shoot holographic projections, the black technology from Huaxia made them scream constantly, and the vivid scenes made them seem to really see two mecha fighting, and the bursting fragments seemed to be smashing on their faces at any time.

The videos were quickly posted on social media, and each video immediately sparked a wide-ranging discussion and drew attention to the game as a machine.

Most people think that this video is P, but even so, they have to say that P is good.

[Incredible, the CG effect is too good.] 】

[The small video is very good, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is fake, I am in California, and I can walk to that place. 】

[Walked to the ...... It's true! There are really mecha here! I mean, there's really a holographic projection here, and it's fantastic! I suggest you all come and see it, this is a show that you won't regret for a lifetime! 】

[I can testify that next to me is a mecha. Originally, I went to watch the opening ceremony of "Fallen Mecha", but I ran out after watching the beginning. Now I don't have chairs, air conditioning, or Coke on the street, so I can only huddle with a group of people looking at the mechs with my head up, but I feel that it is worth it. 】

[I want to go too, but I can't because I'm a staff member at the Fallen Mecha venue.] Originally, I was at the window, but my girlfriend took the window. Great, looks like I'm going to have a new ex-girlfriend. 】

The heated discussion of the media, the cheers of the crowd, the opening ceremony of "Machine Spirit" ended in grand cheers, and the knockout round of "Machine Spirit" also began.

The blazing venue brought a frenetic atmosphere, which constantly absorbed the surrounding audience, making them also fall into hysterical frenzy and make the atmosphere of the venue even more enthusiastic.

And the more enthusiastic the opposite, the more deserted the atmosphere of "Fallen Mecha".

The audience is an important part of the competition, and the cheers and cheers of the audience will greatly encourage the players and allow them to perform better.

It's just that today, the venue that should have been full is only half of the attendance, and many people are still here because the view here is good, and there is air conditioning and free air conditioning.

The players were also affected by the opposite side, even the seeded players did not perform as well as they should, and the effect of the game was even worse than the usual practice matches.

Their attention has been taken away by the "Machine Spirit" on the other side, and the shock brought by the huge mecha is too strong, and they also find that "Fallen Mecha" does have some less feeling.

The first day ended in a very depressing atmosphere, with the winning individual not looking particularly happy and the losing player not particularly depressed.

The original lottery replacement, post-game interviews, and media Q&A sessions all ended hastily, and the media reporters didn't even want to act, so they rushed directly to the opposite side after asking a few questions, and then began to record excitedly.

The venue that was lively just now became extremely lonely, and the staff in charge of finishing the work also seemed to be in a state of mind, while doing perfunctory work, while glancing at the game opposite.

James originally wanted to scold them, after all, I have money, and I let you do the work!

Even if you don't give much, you still give money!

But he himself was so depressed that he didn't even want to speak, so he could only sit on the steps in front of the venue and watch the heat wave continue to erupt on the opposite side.

If you put aside the interference caused by the competition, he has to admit that "Machine Spirit" is really good.

"Machine Spirit" is inherently suitable for VR, and the surging momentum and violent sense of blow of the mecha can only be shown by the VR all-in-one machine.

Coupled with the cool holographic projection, his side was quite completely defeated.

With a long sigh, James turned on his phone and looked at the stock price of Druid Entertainment again.

The current price is $92 per share, which is already the highest price in history.

However, it is believed that after the opening of the market tomorrow, this price will fall quickly to the floor.

As an executive, he has some stocks on hand that cannot be circulated in the market, as well as stocks that he buys by himself.

By entrusting all these stocks to sell, he can only hope to protect his capital so that his retirement life will not be too miserable.

Suddenly, the car stopped in front of him, and several company executives hurriedly stepped out of the car, shocked to see the venue that was almost empty.

"James, what's the situation? Where have all the people gone? ”

Seeing the company executives, who were disheveled, full of alcohol, and had only arrived now, James suddenly felt a little happy.

I lost a lot, and I guess these guys will lose even more.

It's like the discovery of drowning and sinking deeper, although they all die in the end, but they are still a little happy before they die.

Pointing to the other side, James said, "Look at the other side." ”

Turning their heads, the four executives collectively petrified.

At this time, the opposite "Machine Spirit" happened to play the blue mecha violently beating another red mecha, the red mecha had been pressed to the ground, the armor on the body had been torn off, the artificial muscles had been torn off, and it looked like it had lost.

But suddenly, the red mecha dodged violently, then suddenly raised its head and bit the opponent's neck, and the hot melt gun hidden in its mouth erupted violently, piercing the blue mecha from the top and completing a Jedi counterattack.

The audience couldn't help cheering at the sudden anti-transfer, and a staff member who was watching couldn't help but applaud, and then walked away under the gaze of the senior officials.

They stared blankly at the scene in front of them, and it took a long time before they turned their heads and said to James, "Why are you ...... Why didn't you notify us? ”

"How many times do you think I've called?"

"That'...... Then you can come to us! ”

"Have you told me where you are?"

"But ......"

"No, let's think about how to remedy it."

These executives are becoming more and more mediocre when it comes to making games, but they are becoming more sensitive when it comes to capital.

After seeing the holographic projection, they realized that this thing would have a drastic impact on the stock price, and those profit-seeking capitals would consider this more promising rising star, and the share price of Druid Entertainment would never be taken over again.

Leaving the mess to the executives, James made his way to the top floor of the venue.

It's his makeshift office, with his favorite reclining chair and just the right amount of cold beer in the fridge.

Picking himself a bottle of beer, he adjusted the position of his recliner so that he could take in the holographic projection in front of him.

Putting on a majestic music, James drank half of the beer in one gulp, looked at the performance opposite and couldn't help but say, "It's so cool." ”

The bubbles of the beer are breaking.

It is a sad song before the end of the old era, and it is also a salute when the new era arrives.

The next day, Druid Entertainment's stock price opened with some improvement, and after reaching $100 at one point, it began to dive intraday and then took a sharp turn.

Before anyone else could figure out why, James had polished all the stocks he had at his disposal, barely keeping his pension.

Other executives, though, weren't so lucky.

The halving of the stock price halved their fortune overnight, and the profits from Fallen Mecha were cut in half overnight.

What's worse is that the company also repurchased a batch of shares with cash in advance, thinking that it could make a fortune from it, but now it is losing to the extent that my mother doesn't even know it.

What made them even more angry was that on the Little Blue Book, Fangcheng Studio also registered an account and sent out the first message.

[Loyalty, is the most precious quality, but unfortunately you don't deserve it. 】

On the picture of the message, it is a picture of Lao Wang's impassioned explanation of the game competition.

The old Wang in the photo is full of spirits, and he looks quite beautiful when he explains the game, which is in stark contrast to the previous decadence.

The previous slap from Druid Entertainment finally pulled back in the form of a boomerang, leaving a red mark.

Enraged, Druid Entertainment began to find trouble with Fangcheng Studio, starting with visas, venues, staffing, and equipment permits, but unfortunately they couldn't find any problems.

The Cayman company endorsed it, and Kirin Industries also provided work visas, and the procedures for all parties were so complete that there were few problems.

Even some departments in the country are actively cooperating, and the mysterious authorities seem to be extremely dissatisfied with the recent events of Druid Entertainment, and this happens to be a perfect opportunity for revenge.

Now, the domestic environment is testing the waters of game opening, and Druid Entertainment's behavior this time is to slap the relevant departments in the face.

If you don't retaliate back, then everyone will know that the game circle in Huaxia is an ATM, and the overseas game industry will only be more presumptuous in the future.

And it's not enough to just fight back, the overkill must be overcorrected, and if you don't beat the other party to bleed, this matter is definitely not over!

The top management of Druid Entertainment began to frantically save themselves, they increased the amount of bonuses, increased publicity, and invested more in the game media, but the condition of "Chinese players are restricted from participating" has never been canceled.

Now that you have offended that part of the players, you can only offend to the end.

And Fangcheng Studio will also let the other party understand what it means to be benevolent and what it means to respect the fate of others.

The competition in "Fallen Mecha" lasts for one day, and the competition in "Machine Spirit" lasts for one day.

By the halfway point of the game, the venue of "Fallen Mecha" was almost empty.

A group of performers were invited to the front row so that the media could take photos and make a lively performance, but the popularity of social media and video platforms showed that Druid Entertainment had completely lost.

The stock price fell below, all the previous preparations were in vain, and "Machine Spirit" began to encroach on the ecological niche of "Fallen Mecha" with the new PVP system, and it was almost inevitable that it would be replaced.

And this kind of battle game has almost no possibility of becoming a meal replacement, if you don't do it well, then there will be no popularity, and it will be difficult for players to match, and then players will lose and go directly into a dead loop.

Druid Entertainment, which lacked cash flow, could not attract traffic, and the number of peak online users plummeted every day, and in the end, only hundreds of people were online.

Finally, the crippled Druid Entertainment had to announce that the game of "Fallen Mecha" ended early, ending this painful game.

Now, though, no one pays attention to Fallen Mecha events.

On the opposite side of it, the competition of "Machine Spirit" is in full swing, bringing the charm of mecha to the world.

How much do I owe to pay off my debts?
