Chapter 125: Promotional Video
June 1st, Friday.
Yanjing, Shenxiu Technology.
Su Yan is in the office looking at the preparations for the first GG Global League summarized below.
Speaking of which, this is probably the largest gaming event ever held in China, so Su Yan had to control it personally.
According to Su Yan's vision, the entire GG League will become a series and eventually develop into a grand event in the history of gaming. The annual GG League will become a carnival for game lovers!
Therefore, as the first league, the entire Shenxiu Technology attaches great importance to it, and even the publicity department started building momentum for the upcoming GG League early.
It can be said that for this league, the publicity department of Shenxiu Technology has traveled around the world in mid-May to shoot promotional videos with teams and individual players from all over the world participating in this league.
Promotional videos can be said to be a means to highlight the game league. Shooting a promotional video before the game can not only trigger large-scale discussions and increase the popularity, but also brew up the expectations of players around the world for the league in advance, and can also expand it again
The reputation of Shenxiu Technology is beneficial and harmless no matter from which aspect you look at it.
“Tuk-tuk-tuk.”
Just when Su Yan was looking at the documents in his hand seriously, there was a knock on the door outside the office, and then a man in plain clothes with long hair who looked like a fairy pushed open the door and entered.
"Who are you?"
Su Yan looked at the person in front of him and asked with some confusion. Although the person in front of him felt familiar, Su Yan just couldn't remember who the person in front of him was.
"Mr. Su, it's me, Li Bai! I'm back from further training."
Li Bai looked at Su Yan and said excitedly.
Now looking at Su Yan sitting on the office chair, Li Bai just wanted to say one thing, that is...
Half a year, do you know how I spent this half year!?
In the past six months, it can be said that Li Bai has traveled almost all over the country at the company's expense. Along the way, he went south and north, east and west. It can be said that wherever there are famous mountains and rivers, Li Bai's legacy has been left.
My steps, and even my daily schedule, are all fully planned. I am either studying the myths and customs of various places or on the way to study them.
Because according to the plan made in advance, Li Bai not only went to collect folk songs, but also sat down and discussed with local Taoist people under the arrangement of the local religious administration. After all, a donation of hundreds of thousands cannot be wasted, right?
This also led to a long period of discussion. Li Bai went from initial expectations to mid-term boredom, and then to the final enlightenment, and even almost became a monk in Mount Wutai. It can be said that after such an experience, Li Bai's life was worth a lot!
When he returned to Yanjing and got off the plane, Li Bai breathed in the familiar haze with a PM level of 2.5 in the air. He had only one feeling, and that was nostalgia. After all, the air in other places did not have such a familiar smell!
"Thank you for your hard work. Take a good rest when you come back. I'll give you a week's leave to adjust to your condition."
After tricking Li Bai away, Xia He walked in.
"The finished video of Mr. Su's promotional video has been sent over. If you have time, take a look at it. If you have any questions, I can communicate with them as soon as possible."
"OK."
Su Yan nodded, took the mobile hard drive from Xia He, and started playing the GG League promotional video on his computer.
Overall, the film is not long, only a little over four minutes.
The first thing that appeared on the screen was the logo of Shenxiu Technology, then the BGM carefully produced by the Nightwish band sounded, and the content of the promotional video began to play on the computer.
The beginning of the picture is in a bedroom. The bedroom is dark with only the light from the computer screen. At this moment, a handsome European and American boy is sitting in front of the computer. He is constantly moving the mouse with one hand and rapidly with the other hand.
He was typing on the keyboard, and as he operated, the orc buildings on the computer screen continued to rise from the ground, and soldier units were continuously created one after another.
When the scene changed, it was also in a bedroom. A young man was also constantly operating on the computer screen. As he moved the mouse to control a farmer to open his field of vision, a large area of beasts could be seen on the screen.
Soon the farmer began to build a building not far away. Seeing this scene, the young man in front of the computer raised a smile, but soon the young man's expression changed, because a picture appeared in the corner of his screen.
There are a large number of undead units. When the camera cuts away, you can see that it is daytime outside the window. Not far away, you can see the landmark building in Shanghai, where the Oriental Pearl Tower is standing.
Then there are scenes of confrontation between players in various games.
When the picture reappeared, landmarks from all over the world first appeared, and teams stood in front of these buildings, including the Eiffel Tower in France, the Statue of Liberty in the United States, the Statue of Christ in Rio de Janeiro, and the Tenmangu Shrine in Japan.
..
In the final Forbidden City scene, all the teams participating in the league said in unison under the landmarks of their respective countries.
"On top of the world, here we come!"
Su Yan looked at the effect of the promotional video and nodded slightly: "Although it is not even close to what I expected, it is already very good. It can be completed in such a short period of time, and the degree of completion is very high, which is quite good."
After hearing this, Xia He smiled: "Of course, this time we traveled almost half of the world just to find the company's team, and we also spent a lot of money to find the world's top shooting team.
But the time is a little tight, otherwise, I should be able to produce a better film."
It can be said that the promotional video task this time is really tight and the task is heavy. In addition, it is the first time for Shenxiu Technology to do this kind of thing, and it does not have much experience. The early creativity alone took up a lot of time.
After that, we have to shoot and edit, as well as contact the shooting locations and contestants. If we hadn't resorted to money and hired several shooting teams to work overtime for location shooting, shooting, and post-editing, the progress would probably have been delayed for a while.
"Well, in fact, in my opinion, the promotional video should be a combination of the game and the characters, or even the characters and the game characters combined into one and appear in the promotional video. Or it could be the kind of CG that is comparable to a blockbuster."
Su Yan said with some regret that the time was indeed too tight, and he had contacted several companies that specialized in CG before but they all said they had no time, so this promotional video was finally born.
Tolerate the calm for a while, and take a step back to get more and more angry.
"Fuck, Assistant Xia, the company will set up our own shooting department as soon as possible, and the art department will ask them to recruit a new batch of CG talents. Once they are recruited, they will immediately find a way to package them and send them to various places around the world.
Learn from the top studios, and use our own team to shoot our company’s promotional videos in the future! By the way, how are the talks with those small workshops mentioned last time?”
Su Yan suddenly remembered what he had told Xia He about filming a promotional video some time ago.
"New Zealand film special effects studio WETA agreed to sell us 30% of the shares, but asked us not to interfere in the company's daily operations. As for Industrial Light and Magic, their parent company Lucasfilm did not agree to the sale.
Shares, as for Marvel, they have intentions to sell."
