There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

  The last day of June.

  The enthusiasm for the Forest Carnival has not yet passed.

  But another topic came from behind and successfully stole the heat of the forest carnival.

  Because of "Ready Player One", it will be officially released soon.

  Publishers are not fools.

  The enthusiasm of the players is so high, and they have seen the video themselves, and their confidence in it is so high.

  The right time, place and people, how could it not be announced on a large scale.

   Actually.

  The large-scale announcement of this movie has already started, and two trailers have been released.

   It's just that the content on the Forest Carnival during this period is too explosive... It just overwhelmed the movie by force.

  In addition, although the players are enthusiastically discussing this movie, most of them also regard it as the content announced by the Forest Carnival as a whole, which makes it seem less popular than the Forest Carnival.

   But now the movie's release date looms.

  The forest carnival can't be suppressed anymore.

   After all, the Forest Carnival is over, and there is still some time before the release of the game announced at the Forest Carnival.

  As for the love letter from "Ready Player One", players are looking forward to it!

  After all, whether it is "Ready Player One" or "Game Stars", in fact, the carrier is different, but the surprises for players are the same.

  With the third and last trailer released.

  Major game forums.

  The players temporarily put down the unreleased game of Forest Carnival, and began to discuss the movie on a large scale.

  【Come on come on! The last trailer is out! The visual spectacle is simply too eye-catching! More linked characters appear! 】

  【Mom! I watched the promotional video and watched the orgasm! What kind of perception will the movie bring when it is officially released? ! 】

  【Buy a ticket! Three brushes to start! I'm sure that Linmu Studio will never disappoint this time! 】

  【I think so too... But the problem is that I can’t buy tickets for the first show! Movie theaters near me are full! Why is it so exaggerated! Are you **** doing box office for Linmu Studio? [Funny]. 】

  【If it’s just players, there’s a high probability that it won’t be full, but buddies upstairs, check social media... This movie is now on the top search again. 】

【ah? Is that an exaggeration? 】

  【Actually, it's quite normal, "Star Wars" is a gift exclusively for players, but "Ready Player One" is not... He also represents the popular culture and the entire subcultural circle for so many years! Even if you're not a player, you probably won't be able to help feeling overwhelmed when you see the Giant of Light and the characters in those classic movies, and choose to watch it. 】

【I will not say anymore! Grab votes! ! 】

  【…】

Yes.

  The movie premiered on the first day, and audiences in some cities couldn’t even get tickets. One can imagine how exaggerated the movie’s popularity is.

   And finally.

  The pre-sale box office of "Ready Player One" before its official release was as high as 300 million, which made it to the forefront of the historical pre-sale performance list of domestic movies, which directly silenced many film and television companies...

  Sky fox.

   "Hahahaha, the game company makes movies, but the pre-sale results are higher than 99% of the movies made by film and television companies. It's really shameful."

  Mou Feng couldn't help laughing when he saw a film-related media report in a shocking tone that the film's pre-sale performance was as high as 300 million.

beside.

  Li Guangsheng was a little scared.

  He always felt.

  Since this year's Forest Carnival.

  Mou Feng is broken...Before, at any rate, he would say a few harsh words to Linmu Studio.

   But these days, don't speak harsh words... He almost engraved the title of "Linmu Studio Fan" on his forehead.

   "Mou Feng...you belong to Tianhu."

  Li Guangsheng couldn't bear it anymore, and whispered a reminder.

   "Fuck! Why hasn't anyone refunded the ticket yet! How about we drive to the suburbs tomorrow to see it? I guess there are still tickets for the premiere of "Ready Player One" in the suburbs."

   But Mou Feng's answer, not to say that it has nothing to do with it, it can only be said that the bull's head is wrong.

  Li Guangsheng: "..."

have to.

   Really broke.

   And the other side.

  Mou Feng actually heard what Li Guangsheng said.

   But he didn't want to answer.

  He wanted to enjoy this extremely happy life as a player.

  As for those sufferings... those sufferings that they don't know how to face at all, and the big moves that Linmu Studio will not stop for the next whole year, what should Tianhu do in the end.

  Let's think about it later.

   "The only problem now is the quality of the movie."

  Mou Feng refreshed the ticket buying website with great interest.

  There is no need to doubt that Linmu Studio makes games.

  He knows better than anyone else the strength of this company in game production.

   But movies.

  While Linwood Studios tested the waters with a Resident Evil movie, that movie was relatively simple.

  But this time is different.

  With so many IP linkages, how much can a game company like Linmu Studio do?

  No one knows.

  …

the next day.

Six pm.

  Linmu Studio.

  Kaishan Research Institute.

  Zheng Xin stretched his waist, looked at the draft of the business plan he had written, and couldn't help but sighed again.

  The iteration of switch, although he barely wrote something.

   But he found that it was really difficult to bring players a new experience at the hardware level... He was not very satisfied.

  As for the eye-catching hardware other than the switch, he doesn't even have the most basic idea.

   is annoying.

   "O Muse..."

  Thinking of this, Zheng Xin couldn't help but spread his hands, looked at the ceiling, and called out the muse.

   But unfortunately, nothing came.

certainly.

  In fact, he didn't hope to find a breakthrough in a short time, after laughing at himself.

  Zheng Xin stood up, packed her things and got ready to go to watch the premiere of "Ready Player One".

  The internal works of Linmu Studio are open to all internal staff, whether it is games or movies.

  So Zheng Xin didn't need to grab tickets at all, and directly got the tickets for the premiere through the internal channel draw.

   And for this movie.

  He is looking forward to it.

  After all, he is not a staff member of the product department. If the game involves hardware, he still has an idea, but the staff of the motion capture studio are not included in the movie.

   It can be said that the other staff members of the Kaishan Research Institute have never had any contact with them.

  He is completely an ordinary audience.

   Under such circumstances, Zheng Xin is of course looking forward to it.

   So soon.

  After leaving Linmu Workshop,

  Zheng Xin forgot about the next-generation console, and instead checked the discussion about movies.

  After seeing countless people expressing their expectation for the movie, he felt even better.

  The pace of getting off work is a bit lighter than usual.

  The time came to nine o'clock in the evening.

  Zheng Xin went out on time and came to the largest theater near Linmu Studio.

   And as soon as you enter the door.

  He saw the huge "Ready Player One" movie poster at the entrance of the theater.

   And four or five people are surrounding the poster, looking for the easter eggs on the poster.

   "The one showing his head over there is BT, right?"

   "Should be, should this be Tyrannosaurus Rex? Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Rex? The character from "Mechanical Wars" in 1983?"

   "Easter eggs are hidden in the posters. You really have one, Linmu Studio... Wait, what is this?"

   "Li Yu, stop watching, it's about to start."

   "Wait, I think there are easter eggs."

   "Hahaha, idiot, let's go."

   "..."

  Zheng Xin glanced at those people, and had a slight impression of the name Li Yu, but he couldn't remember who it was for a while...

  However, he didn't hesitate, shook his head slightly, and walked into the theater.

   More than ten minutes later.

  When Zheng Xin finished going to the bathroom, carrying popcorn and Coke, and walked into the theater after finishing everything, even though he was mentally prepared, he was still taken aback.

  All seats are full...

  Except for a few seats, the entire cinema hall is full of people.

  The movie hasn't started yet, and the entire theater is full of voices.

  He was stunned for half a second, then smiled, and came to his seat while saying excuse me.

   It just so happened.

   On his right, sat the player named Li Yu.

   At the moment.

  That Li Yu was still discussing the easter eggs on the poster with his friends, he looked like a full-fledged fan.

   On the other side of Zheng Xin, there is a pair of father and son. It seems that the son brought Lao Tzu to watch the movie.

  The son who seems to be in his twenties is looking forward to the next movie.

  But my father seemed very calm, just sipped his Coke, and then said: "Movie tickets are a bit expensive, but you can actually watch them on your computer at home."

   "Just stay with me." The son waved his hand and interrupted his father.

  Although it is still harmonious.

   But there are clearly differences.

  Zheng Xin glanced left and right, scratched his head, and was a little worried about the next movie-watching experience.

but.

   Not much time left for him to think.

soon.

  The lights in the theater were turned off.

   Next.

  The screen goes dark.

   Both Li Yu and the father and son next to him stopped talking and looked at the screen.

  Zheng Xin also dispelled redundant thoughts and turned his gaze to the screen.

   Next second.

  The screen lights up.

  The movie started playing.

  The moment the LOGO of Linmu Studio came out... cheers rang out.

   Very enthusiastic.

   spread to the entire theater.

   Li Yu beside Zheng Xin, the son of the father and son, all started cheering.

certainly.

  Including Zheng Xin.

   Except for the father of the father and son, he looked around in a daze, and then glanced at the screen.

no.

  The LOGO is just being broadcast...why do you start cheering?

  However, the time left for him to react was not long, because after the brief LOGO was revealed, the movie was officially screened.

   It makes people feel cheerful and joyful, and the rhythmic BGM suddenly sounds!

  It is this world, the masterpiece of the most representative rock band in the 90s.

  Cinema, cheers sounded again!

  And this time, the father, after a moment of stupefaction, smiled lightly, showing nostalgia.

   is in this nostalgic and dynamic music.

  The fictional city of the movie appeared on the screen, and the protagonist started to introduce himself while getting down from the floor like building blocks.

  The general story background is actually not complicated.

   Just like the name of the game in the movie, compared to reality, the game oasis is an oasis in the true sense.

  The future world is bad.

   On the way down, the protagonist can also see the background. Most of the people are actually wearing VR glasses, immersed in the virtual world.

  After a short self-introduction.

  The protagonist came to his secret base, an abandoned RV.

   He skillfully fixed himself on a machine similar to a treadmill, and then put on gloves. After preparing everything, he took out a VR eye from his backpack and slowly put it on his head.

  【We call it... Oasis】

   Accompanied by this sentence sounded.

  The lens shifted to the inside of the VR glasses.

  The dazzling light extends infinitely forward... It's like leading the audience to travel through VR together.

  One by one planet, one by one world... Accompanied by the introduction of the protagonist, they appeared on the screen.

  Here, there are pixel worlds, worlds on the verge of destruction, game worlds, movie worlds...

  As the protagonist said.

  There is only what you can't think of here, and there is nothing you can't do.

   And when the worlds appear one by one, the unparalleled visual effects are matched with exciting BGM.

  The entire theater.

  All the audience were almost instantly attracted and immersed in it.

   It was too shocking.

  The only word Zheng Xin can think of is...magnificent.

  Is this the virtual world in Lin Yao's eyes?

  After a short introduction, the screen came directly to a position similar to the birth point, and countless characters were walking out of the light gate.

  The male protagonist, who was still looking seductive just now, has also become a game character and walked out of it.

   Except for the male protagonist.

  All kinds of characters familiar to the audience disappear in a flash.

  In the cinema.

  The depressed excited exclamation began to sound frequently.

   Zheng Xin was also excited, because he also saw many familiar characters...

  Cartoon, real, not even human species.

   And this is not the end.

   When the hero contacts his friends.

  The picture is given to the other side.

   The death planet dedicated to deathmatch in the game.

  When the movie introduces other supporting characters... more characters familiar to players begin to appear.

   There are characters from classic movies, there are characters from comics, and of course... there are characters from games under the Woods studio.

   Let's put it this way.

  No matter what the audience likes, as long as they like pop culture, they can always find something they are familiar with.

  The unparalleled visual effects of this combination are simply enjoyable.

  Here.

  The exclamation of the audience could not be suppressed.

   "Hey, son, was that person a tea farmer?"

   "! You know "Back in Time"?"

   "Ah? Son, is the one who died a suffering monk?"

   "Do you still know the movie "Yongle"?"

   "The one who flashed past just now was Freddy?"

   "Have you seen A Nightmare on Elm Street???"

   "..."

  Beside Zheng Xin.

   At first, he was very calm. The father, who complained that the movie could actually be watched at home, couldn’t hold back when he saw this. He began to watch it while whispering excitedly about his son.

  His son looked confused.

  Zheng Xin smiled heartily, and then looked at the big screen with full expectation, his face also full of excitement.

  The visual impact brought by the movie is of course far more than that.

   The first act isn't even over yet.

  The movie first introduces the entire game called "Oasis", and then introduces the "Easter Eggs" and the related stories of the game founder.

   Then continue.

   It is the part where the protagonist participates in the racing competition for the easter eggs, and at the same time leads to the villain and the heroine in the film.

  The racing scene in the movie can be said to be the most important scene in the first act of the movie.

  Visual spectacle, awesome!

  When various racing cars whizzed away, various obstacles or track organs appeared one by one.

  Fast and Furious plus various impressive old elements are reinterpreted.

   It was like a carnival!

   "Damn it—"

   "King Kong!"

"Wow-"

  The entire movie hall, exclaimed one after another.

   Zheng Xin was also among them, and he didn't feel noisy at all!

Depend on!

   Such a scene is not cheering, it is still human! ?

  But it's a pity.

  Although the racing session was a carnival, in the end the male protagonist still did not reach the finish line, but just met the female protagonist.

  Emotions are slightly out of gear.

but.

  The sense of anticipation has also risen.

  How can we reach the finish line on such a difficult track?

   Zheng Xin was very curious, Li Yu was also very curious, and the father and son next to him, both father and son, were also very curious.

   And when the male protagonist finished checking the information.

   Appeared on the track again, and then... driving his car, started to reverse instead of forward.

   Then, directly from the bottom of the track, he went backwards without any hindrance to the finish line.

   Li Yu next to Zheng Xin opened his mouth directly: "Huh?"

  Many audiences in the movie hall couldn't help it anymore, they all ahed, and then couldn't help laughing.

  Zheng Xin was stunned for a moment, then looked at the screen and realized it.

   Can't help but also laugh out.

   Very happy.

  As a player, as a staff member of Linmu Workshop.

  Of course he participated in the "Easter Egg Adventure" in the first forest carnival.

  In the "Easter Egg Adventure" section of the first forest carnival, the last easter egg is to talk to the kanban lady and maid, and then...backwards through the seemingly closed wall.

  Because Lin Yao referred to this movie when designing.

   It's a coincidence.

  The final effect is.

  All the players of Linmu Workshop immediately thought of that easter egg.

that moment.

  All the players couldn't help laughing.

   Feelings are good, and self-satisfaction is good.

  In short, at this moment, the players are really happy! !

"…marvelous!"

  Beside Zheng Xin.

  Li Yu watched the male protagonist walk backwards to reach the finish line. The virtual avatar of the game creator appeared and gave the male protagonist the key.

  He couldn't help but waved his hand lightly.

   And when the movie continued, the hero told his friends that more people found the trick and also got the easter eggs.

  Then the perspective is given to the villain, and the in-game easter egg score list appears on the screen, listing the names of the characters who have found the easter eggs.

   Besides the hero and his friends, there is an ID at the bottom... redundant.

   The character with this ID did not appear in the movie.

   Many people didn't even notice the extra ID.

   But Li Yu saw it.

  He was stunned.

   Then, his first thought was... why did his game ID appear in the movie?

   And soon, he figured it out.

  Because he is the number one player of this year's "Easter Egg Adventure"... It is he who announced the existence of the movie "Number One Player".

   So, he is also the number one player...

  “…Linmu Studio, it’s really amazing!!”

  Li Yu thought of this, although he knew this ID, not many people would notice it.

   But he still felt as if he had bumped into a bubble called 'happiness' head-on.

  The whole person feels floating.

   And Zheng Xin heard Li Yu's sigh in a low voice, but he couldn't pay attention to him anymore.

  Although the hero of the movie got the first easter egg, the plot entered a stable period.

   But that doesn't mean it's less fun.

   There are still countless familiar elements appearing...

  What superheroes in American comics, what robots in ancient movies, what super props in board games.

   Every familiar element appears, accompanied by a simple but benevolent story.

   brings an extremely good viewing experience.

  The climax of the second act is undoubtedly the link where the protagonist group enters a classic horror film.

  The movie reproduced the set of that classic horror movie one-to-one!

   This time.

   It's the fans' turn to cheer.

"ah…"

   "What a horror movie!"

"Hahaha."

  The entire theater.

  The atmosphere is completely up!

   And Zheng Xin's arm... is full of goosebumps!

   See this.

  The only thing he can think of is...the guys in the product department! Really awesome!

   Really great! !

   As for "Ready Player One", the film is more than two hours long, nearly two and a half hours.

  From the first act of the movie, the audience's emotions began to slowly advance.

  When the climax of the second act arrives.

  The audience has completely fallen in love with this work.

but.

   At the moment.

  All the audience still couldn't imagine what the third act, which is the end of the movie, would bring.

  They just followed the development of the plot and continued watching with full expectation.

so.

  When the villain took the lead, he used powerful props to block the location of the last easter egg.

  The male protagonist has no choice but to shout to all players, calling on all players to take back the game world together.

Then.

  On top of the glacier.

   All players are here.

  The male protagonist raised his hand and shouted: "The first one to find the key."

   Countless characters rushed up from behind him.

   Shout along.

  Music starts.

  Everyone in the theater...exploded instantly! All in a mental orgasm! !

   Exclamations and screams one after another!

   "Vampire Ryan!"

   "Altaïr!"

   "Jack Cooper!"

   "Catwoman!"

"ah!!"

   Zheng Xin trembled with excitement when he saw this scene, and couldn't help holding onto the handrail.

  The same goes for Li Yu next to him and other audience members.

  The Great War begins.

  More characters familiar to the audience appear one by one!

  The audience was so excited that they couldn't even speak!

  Because...their entire teenage years, youth, those sci-fi movies we watched, those classic animations, those classic games we played...

   Almost, all of them showed up!

  The same screen that audiences have imagined, the "Guan Gong Fighting Qin Qiong" that they have fantasized about! All done!

  Perhaps, after leaving the theater, everyone will return to a peaceful life.

   But at least.

   At the moment.

  All the audience seemed to be in a gorgeous dream. In a... a dream that was so exciting that I couldn't help myself.

   And this is just the beginning.

  The last scene.

   Biggest **** ever.

  Of course it’s still that…

  In the movie.

  The player army faces the villain army and charges to the death.

  But the villain BOSS turned into a mechanical monster, and the player army once fell into a desperate situation...

Then.

   At this time, one of the protagonist camps summoned...

   Gundam!

besides! Giant of Light!

  When the plane was on the plane, the Japanese player in the protagonist group said, "I will attack in the form of Gundam", and jumped down, turning into a Gundam.

  At the same time, on the ground, the giant of light's iconic transformation action appears, and the player gradually becomes a giant of light wearing a leather case.

  When three behemoths occupy the battlefield.

  Dang Gundam rushed towards the mechanical monster with a beam saber in one hand and a red shield in the other.

  When the giant of light poses for shooting waves.

   "OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"

  The entire theater.

   Immediately, there was a huge cheer that seemed to pass through the thick soundproof wall!

   Carnival!

  For all viewers.

  For audiences who like to play various games, watch various science fiction movies, and various pop culture.

  This tm! It's carnival!

   "I can't sleep...I can't sleep...I can't sleep!!"

  The armrest at Zheng Xin's position was almost broken by him.

   He muttered to himself, trembling with excitement.

   How can this make people not excited!

   And Li Yu next to him was even more exaggerated, jumping up from his position in an instant!

   Really jumped up.

   Then it suddenly occurred to him that he was in a movie theater, and he immediately sat down again, and began to wrap his arms around his friend's neck, shaking vigorously.

  His friend wasn't much better.

   The calmest.

   Probably the father next to Zheng Xin.

   But at that moment, he couldn't help trembling.

   One can imagine.

   In fact, his heart is not so calm.

   And the movie.

   Still going on.

   It doesn't end abruptly at the climax.

  When the villain uses the map killer to kill all players, the foreshadowing is recovered.

   Only the hero is still alive.

  Resurrection coins appear.

   this element.

  Even people who have never played games can smile knowingly.

   And when the male protagonist finally found the final easter egg, the avatar of the founder of "Oasis World" appeared again and asked him to sign the agreement.

  The hero is keen to see through.

   It made the audience feel inexplicably refreshed.

Then.

   is the end of the story.

  The real "Oasis World" game producer appeared.

  In a small attic.

  The game producer handed over props representing the world of 'Oasis' to the hero.

  Then, he took his childhood self with him and went out to prepare to leave.

   This also represents.

  The magnificent dreams of the audience are coming to an end.

   Li Yu looked at the screen, looking at the slightly withdrawn and strange producer, feeling very reluctant.

   Is this the end?

  No longer broadcast for three hours?

   he couldn't help thinking.

   And on screen.

  The male protagonist looked at the producer who was about to leave, and couldn't help asking: "Then what are you?"

  The producer of "Oasis World" didn't answer, but just said goodbye to the hero with a smile, and then said softly: "Thank you, thank you for playing my game."

  Li Yu: "..."

  The white-haired old man on the screen seemed to be the director, representing all the classic games, and thanked the players.

   It seems to be on behalf of someone, saying thank you to the players.

   Li Yu was stunned when he saw this.

  He is more inclined, which represents the person...

  Because of "Easter Egg Adventure", because of the racing car in the first scene of the movie, because of the game of finding easter eggs...all made him think of that person.

   More importantly... In his mind, if there is a game producer who can make such a game one day.

  Then... it must be that person.

   So, that moment.

   Li Yu was really stunned, thinking a lot.

   Then, his eyes were a little wet, and he said excitedly:

   "Linmu Studio... This is really one of the best gifts I have ever received. In the two-hour movie, I saw full sincerity! Full of fun! Full of feelings!"

   "This is the most sincere movie I have seen so far!"

   "I really like it!"

   "I like it very much!!"
