The rise of new rural areas has given the world a lot of reference and has become the hottest topic at the moment.
The instigator, Xiao Qian, went south to Shenzhen in a low-key manner.
It’s impossible not to go, TX and Blizzard are urging me urgently.
Blizzard's vice president Frank Pierce even rushed to China in person just for Xiao Qian's previous promise.
Xiao Qian originally tasked tx to represent "World of Warcraft". In order to facilitate this, he asked tx to tell Blizzard that if the game agent was handed over to tx, he would make a special overture for "World of Warcraft".
Because of what he said, after comprehensive consideration, Blizzard abandoned Ninetowns, which had a higher price, and handed over "World of Warcraft" to TX, which was stronger and more standardized.
Facts have proven that the impact of this change is invincible.
Nine Cities is a trap, and the effect of "World of Warcraft" is wasted.
In the previous life, World of Warcraft players were unable to enjoy the highest-level pleasure of the game because of the gap between Nine Cities. Later, when "World of Warcraft" was handed over to NetEase, it was also not doing well.
To put it bluntly, there are too few companies in China that can run good games in this era.
Compared with its peers, TX's professionalism is as high as Mount Everest.
At the beginning of the release of "World of Warcraft", tx's professionalism was fully reflected.
As early as March 2004, when "World of Warcraft" was just undergoing beta testing, tx had already submitted the game for review.
This time is far more than half a year earlier than the review in the previous life.
The good thing is that when "World of Warcraft" was released in Europe on February 11, 2005, it was also launched in China simultaneously.
In the original history, it was not until March 21 that "World of Warcraft" was put into limited closed beta testing in mainland China.
The open beta will start on April 26, and the character limit is only up to level 45.
In the summer of 2005, "World of Warcraft" began to officially operate in mainland China, more than half a year later than the world version.
Players in this life are much happier because the version they play is synchronized with the world.
In addition to not lagging behind in game progress, TX is not comparable to Ninetowns in terms of technical support. A sufficient number of servers support the operation of the game well, giving players the most comfortable experience.
Even the queuing phenomenon that troubled players the most in previous lives is no longer as powerful as the server. Players can log in to the game quickly and conveniently anytime and anywhere, eliminating the agony of waiting in line.
The only thing that makes players unbearable is that after entering the game, they often get disconnected due to lag.
But this is caused by the network and computer hardware, and tx does not take the blame.
Better services have made the number of players of "World of Warcraft" more terrifying than in its previous life. It has also surpassed "Legend" in one fell swoop and has become the most popular game at the moment.
On October 28, 2005, Blizzard announced the development of the first expansion pack for "World of Warcraft", "World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade", bringing the game to a new level.
but……
There has been no movement on the overture promised by Xiao Qian.
This made Blizzard unbearable, and Frank flew to Shenzhen in person and asked to talk to Xiao Qian in person.
How did Blizzard know that Xiao Qian was so busy? It wasn't that he didn't want to make it for them, but that he didn't have time.
Now that someone was looking for him, Xiao Qian couldn't hide away.
Just as all the work has come to an end, it’s time to get back to dealing with issues related to “World of Warcraft”.
"I'm sorry, Frank, I'm just too busy. I really didn't mean to neglect you."
Frank didn't care what he said, he was desperate.
"Xiao, the next expansion pack is very important to us and will be the key to whether we can create miracles. So I hope that I can see your work before the expansion pack is officially launched. We have let the news out a long time ago.
Now players all over the world are looking forward to your masterpiece."
Yes, during the public beta of "World of Warcraft", Blizzard announced that it would link up with Xiao Qian's dream, which made players and music fans excited.
As a result, I waited and waited. Damn it, the ticket was delayed, right?
The current operation of "World of Warcraft" is actually not bad, it is just testing the waters. After "The Burning Crusade" starts, World of Warcraft will enter its peak period.
Starting from "The Burning Crusade", the level in the game will be increased to seventy, new races blood elves and draenei will be added, and a new map Outland will be set up.
In particular, the arrival of the legendary character Illidan Stormrage and the dazzling orange weapon Warblade of Azzinoth (Egg Knife) has aroused the enthusiasm of the majority of players.
In order to promote "The Burning Crusade", Blizzard has prepared a series of plans. Xiao Qian's overture is an important part of the entire plan.
Xiao Qian is a world-famous music producer, and his music is loved by countless people. Even though he has not been active in Europe and the United States, he still has countless fans in Europe, the United States and even around the world.
Any of his works are so classic and have been widely disseminated as soon as they were released.
It can be said that Xiao Qian's influence is what Blizzard is most looking forward to.
Whether "World of Warcraft" can turn from a simple online game into a social phenomenon and whether it can break out of the industry depends entirely on Xiao Qian's blessing.
Feeling Frank's anger, Xiao Qian had to cheer up. Fortunately, he was prepared and was not afraid of breaking his promise.
"Frank, when is your expansion pack expected to be released?"
"Next January, time is running out."
Xiao Qian shrugged his shoulders and smiled gently.
"No, there's a lot of time."
Frank felt that Xiao Qian had not understood the seriousness of the matter.
"Xiao, what we need is not ordinary music, but an epic masterpiece, a masterpiece that can display all the excellent elements of World of Warcraft, a masterpiece like Lord of the Rings and he's a pirate."
"Haidao" will be released to the audience during the Spring Festival in 2006, but the theme song "he's a pirate" has already been released to the audience in advance.
They are all about pirate-themed movies. With such a famous song Xiao Qian, how can we not use it?
As for whether "Pirates of the Caribbean" can still be released and what theme song it will use, that has nothing to do with him.
In short, "he's a pirate" quickly became popular all over the world as soon as it came out, sweeping the charts in many countries, and making the audience look forward to the movie even more.
This also gave Frank a clear standard for the overture of "World of Warcraft", which must not be worse than this.
He thought that such a huge work would definitely require a lot of time and careful craftsmanship. Little did he know that what he was facing was actually a copy monster.
"I already have some ideas about the work. There happens to be a piano here, how about I play it again?"
Frank didn't understand music and was busy emphasizing it.
"I'm afraid it won't work with just the piano."
Xiao Qian has already sat down in front of the piano.
"Of course. I'm just going to play it for you to let you know what the music is like. When I go back to make it, I will use a symphony orchestra to show the grandeur of the music."
Before playing, he explained a little more.
"This song was inspired by the theme song of "Into the Island", for which I have obtained the official authorization from the movie."
Hearing Xiao Qian mention "Bravely Entering the Island of Death", Frank's eyebrows jumped and he became more expectant.
"The Island" is a classic Hollywood movie, and its soundtrack has conquered countless audiences. I wonder if Xiao Qian's adaptation can surpass the original work?
"The dawn" is a classic, do you need to question it?
When Xiao Qian started typing on the keyboard, everyone present immediately became serious. Their ears were perked up, trying hard to catch every note.
There are two ways to play the piano in "the dawn".
One is to completely integrate the performance of the symphony orchestra into the piano playing. Although this method allows the listener to fully feel the charm of the melody, it appears complicated due to too much foreshadowing.
There is also a pure piano playing version.
The playing method of this version is very smooth, from the intro to the alley to the climax, it is extremely smooth and unforgettable.
What Xiao Qian played was the second version.
Only halfway through, Frank rushed over, shaking his arms.
"Xiao, it's such a waste to just use this piece as an overture. Let's... make a movie?"
Well, a movie company that doesn't know how to make music is not a good Blizzard. It turns out that this tradition has been around for a long time.
However, Xiao Qian was very moved by Frank's proposal.
In the previous life, the movie "World of Warcraft" was produced with a lot of hype and hype for n years, but the final work was really unsatisfactory.
For him, a World of Warcraft player, it is really a pity.
Now that the film production is in his hands, the regret is no longer a regret.
"It's a great honor. I think...my creativity will not disappoint you."
