On the big screen watching the game, the advertisement that was supposed to be shown turned into a short film.
The protagonist of the short film is actually the person in charge of the "Call of Duty" project team.
The words he said to introduce himself.
Really...very unexpected!
But on the other hand, the foreshadowing of the short film just now makes all this seem less abrupt...
It seems logical.
Lin Mu Studio is like a scumbag.
The short film "The Box" on the one hand gives players hope, but on the other hand makes that hope fleeting.
And now.
It seems that the moment of showdown has come...
All players who were about to go to the toilet stopped.
Looking at the big game viewing screen in the distance.
Frank didn't care about the coffee on his pants and just stared at the live broadcast.
After a while, he gritted his teeth and tightened his pants with coffee left on them.
All players were attracted by this scene.
this moment.
To say that it has attracted much attention is an understatement.
on the screen.
"Hi, everyone...I am the project leader of "Call of Duty", Li Xiyao."
After greeting Li Xiyao, the person in charge of "Call of Duty", he smiled and continued:
"This time, I want to talk to you about this game..."Call of Duty" caused a great sensation when it was released last year.
The reason why this project was approved was because Lin Yao proposed to make a brand new FPS work, a hypothetical modern war!
As soon as I heard it, I was excited and took the job without hesitation.
Modern warfare is a subject that Linmu Studio has never been involved in. "Breakout" is barely considered, and I am also involved in this project."
"But "Breakout" focuses on map confrontation, which is completely different from "Call of Duty" in nature, so as soon as I took over the job, I excitedly thought about what kind of realistic environment we could create in modern urban areas.
?And how to achieve gameplay that has never been experienced before?
After getting Lin Yao's planning agency and planning book, I knew what to do, but a new question emerged again, how can we embody the atmosphere of modern warfare, and how should we do it?"
"This is a problem, and it is also a problem that troubles our entire project team. At that time, I had just come out of the "Breakout" project team, and my only experience was with the game "Breakout". It can be said that I had no experience at all.
But you know the best thing about working at Linmu Studio? That is, even though we have no experience...but when you work in a place that is full of motivation, there are people there who will start to surprise you.
!”
"Lin Yao, Zhong Xiu, the "Breakout" project team... they gave the greatest help and enthusiastically devoted themselves to this project, growing together with all the staff of our team! Work hard together to make the game
came out.
When this work was finally presented and I played it myself, I was so excited. I am more convinced than anyone else that this is the best game I have ever led, and players will love it!
"And it turns out that my hunch was right. When I saw your praise, I felt that this job is really great!"
"But after the short-term excitement, the problem came again...the sequel."
"..."
on the screen.
Li Xiyao talked about the story of the birth of the "Call of Duty" generation.
The players remained motionless, looking up at the big screen.
There was both expectation and worry on his face.
North America.
Frank's expression was even more complicated.
All videos played live have been translated in advance, and the lines of the live host have been confirmed in advance, and subtitles have been added simultaneously.
The only thing that needs translation is the interviews with the players.
For such a big event, it is impossible not to consider these things.
So Frank can understand what the other person is saying.
But he would rather not understand!
Because it's like cutting flesh with a dull knife. Players can still have hope.
He just felt tortured.
What is it exactly!
You should hurry up!
Frank clenched his pants with coffee in them and looked at Li Xiyao, the person in charge of "Call of Duty" on the screen, his face twisted.
"Is it possible... to announce an extension?"
suddenly.
Frank spoke up.
The first half of the words is full of hesitation, and the second half is full of expectations.
And on the screen.
It seems to be confirming Frank's words.
When Li Xiyao talked about the sequel, he scratched his head with an embarrassed look on his face: "The previous work Zhu Yu came first, which made the production of the sequel more difficult. When I started making the sequel, I was not excited at all. I was thinking from the beginning...
....'It's over, it's over, my God, how are we going to finish it on time?', because the workload is too big, the players' expectations, the excellent previous work, and the not-so-sufficient production cycle have all made the project bogged down.
Difficult. We don’t want to fool the players.”
Hear this.
Some players immediately looked disappointed and lowered their heads.
Li Xiyao's tone here is heavy, because he has really experienced such a mental journey, and it can be said that he empathizes with it.
So it sounds very emotional.
One sentence will be repeated in the next second: 'So, for the sake of better quality, we have decided to postpone the release of the game.
And on the other side of the screen.
Frank was instantly ecstatic when he heard Li Xiyao's heavy tone! The smile started from the corner of his mouth and spread upwards!
But it spreads halfway.
its stuck.
"but."
Li Xiyao is very talented in acting and can express it freely...
The next second, he put away his heavy tone, seamlessly switched to happy, and at the same time said excitedly: "It's the same sentence, when you work in a place full of motivation, there will be people there who will start to give you
Surprise... just like the first Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
With the efforts of all members of the project team.
We finally completed this work and achieved the best result we could, and even squeezed out time to refine the work and make the game as perfect as possible... Although, this also made
We missed the release date in previous years.”
"But we were not blamed for missing the release date. On the contrary, when the project was coming to a perfect conclusion, Lin Yao came up with a great idea - she said that this sequel, including the previous one, would be accepted.
With the help of the "Breakout" project team, even I myself came out of the "Breakout" project team.
How about... let this sequel meet the audience at the e-sports festival, as if it is of the same origin!"
Li Xiyao was halfway through speaking.
All the players who had lowered their heads just now suddenly raised their heads.
Although he was still a little disbelieving, his expression gradually became excited.
Li Xiyao is an old PUA master.
As for Frank... his smile suddenly froze.
He kept his smile on his face but not on his face.
like a statue.
"Then, let us enjoy the promotional video of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" during the break... I wish you all a happy evening!"
In the video.
Li Xiyao paused, showed a bright smile, then clapped his hands gently, raised his right hand, and pulled sharply from the edge of the screen to the other side.
It was like a prologue. It disappeared from the camera.
Immediately afterwards.
The screen goes dark.
After a pause of about a second.
["Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" (Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2)]
The classic green title of Call of Duty.
Slowly appeared in the center of the screen.
Then it sounded.
There are also the sounds of artillery fire and gunfire that symbolize war!
"..."
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!”
finally.
The mystery is revealed!
It’s the sequel! A promotional video for the sequel! A promotional video for the sequel to “Call of Duty”!
A player who has just been PUAed for a while.
Players who were depressed, questioning, and looking forward to it for a long time.
After a brief silence.
It broke out instantly!!
The two brothers Mark and David, who were sitting in the lower area of the auditorium, stood up when they saw the title, then stood directly on the chair, raised their shoulders and shouted!
did not expect.
They really didn't expect it!
There is such a surprise when participating in the Linmu E-Sports Festival!
Since the e-sports event was held.
During the break in the competition, the warmest cheers resounded throughout the entire venue at this moment.
Countless e-sports players and backstage staff.
Hear cheers.
They are all confused.
The next opening match hasn’t started yet!?
Then look at the screen.
Good guy...
At this time, it is better to host and explain.
The commentators for the opening ceremony are all from Linmu E-Sports. When the game starts, they will mention the new game that will be played during the break, just like an advertisement.
So they know the arrangements for tonight.
but.
Even if you know.
Commentators sitting on the commentary desk.
I found that without a game, Linmu Studio can still make players explode with such volume.
Still feel...very shocked.
too exaggerated!
And just when the players cheered.
Promotional video for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".
Started playing.
The green title gradually fades away.
The sound of thunder, cannons, gunshots and human voices mixed together and gradually grew louder.
The opening of the promotional video was a lightning strike.
The moonlight is desolate...
It's raining lightly in the sky...
Artillery fire is roaring.
Everything you see is scorched earth.
far away.
The presidential palace of North America's largest country was filled with smoke and fire... and seemed to have fallen.
The camera slowly zooms up.
A soldier faced the hail of bullets from the direction of the White House, roared, and charged forward: "Battle! Two o'clock!"
What's going on here?
The players finally stopped cheering and focused their attention on the screen.
But in the next scene, the screen suddenly went dark.
Then, the voice of Price, a famous character from the previous generation, sounded.
【The frontline is our history.】
As he spoke these words.
The screen appears again.
This time it's a residential area.
A fighter jet was broken into two pieces and lay in the middle of the street. It was extremely tragic.
A group of soldiers advanced.
Then, a close-up of a soldier was given.
The soldier slowly raised the gun in his hand.
The drum beats in the background music sound like a human heart beating.
Then after a heavy jump.
The screen changes again.
In the ice and snow of Siberia, a submarine surfaced.
On the helicopter, a soldier with a thousand heads of moxi nodded towards the camera.
And then there's a bang, a bang...a bang!
【There are flames of war everywhere.】
【This is an era when heroes emerge in large numbers...an era when legends emerge.】
Price's magnetic voice sounded as the scene changed, and ushered in the ending.
Debris and fire from the explosion filled the sky.
A shackled man strangled the neck of a red-coated soldier with an iron chain, slowly moved toward the camera, and then pushed the strangled soldier away after closing the distance.
Then face the camera.
Or to be more precise, he punched the player controlling the character.
boom--
The character acting as the camera stood on his head in response.
The shackled man immediately picked up the gun on the ground and pointed it at the fallen man
Players with blurred vision.
But the next scene.
"lay down your weapon!"
The man with a mohawk who had just appeared raised his pistol and pointed it at the handcuffed prisoner.
And this time.
Only then did the player see clearly what the prisoner looked like.
Captain Price of the previous generation.
He heard "put down the weapon" from behind him, turned his head slightly in surprise, and asked: "Soap?"
"...Price?"
The man with the mohawk was also a little surprised. After seeing the other person's appearance clearly, he immediately put down the gun.
He helped Price up and handed him the pistol: "This belongs to you, sir."
Price took the gun without hesitation, and then...
"Let's have a blast!"
“Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!”
The video ends here.
As soon as this sentence appeared.
The players cheered again!
No need to doubt.
Many players.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! I really don’t know what the recruit Soap I played in the previous generation looks like...
So when Soap with the mohawk in front appeared, the players didn't react at all.
but.
When Price, who left a deep impression on players in the previous generation, appeared in the camera and called out Soap's name.
The players all reacted.
This is the new recruit from the previous game!
The two meet again, a new story.
This feeling came out immediately.
The new game of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare"!
The plot continues from the previous generation!
A pure sequel!
It’s really here!
And this sequel.
There are so many things worth caring about.
Why did Price become a prisoner? Now that soap appears in sight, who will the player play in this game? What kind of story will be told this time?
These are all points that players care about.
now.
The promotional video only took thirty-five seconds... and it completely piqued the players' interest.
How can this prevent players from cheering!
And next.
The second half of the promotional video.
After the words "Let's have a big fight".
The screen switches again.
Small submarines, heavily armed soldiers wearing flippers, dived from the deep sea to kill with one blow from the dagger.
In the same vein as the first level of the previous game, but the gameplay is completely different, the sea building attack screen appears again.
Then there are snowmobile chases, wilderness racing and shooting, yacht racing, slum rooftop parkour...
A complete trailer for the blockbuster movie!
It stimulates players' hormones every moment.
New characters! New environment! New weapons! New enemies!
The entire promotional video reveals at every moment...this is a new work!
And the last scene.
On the snowy mountain.
The character played by the player jumps up and digs into the ice with an ice-breaking ax, but misses due to the impact and almost falls into the bottomless abyss.
At the critical moment.
A teammate appeared in the center of the camera and reached out to grab the player.
Everything seems to be back to last year.
And just when the player's emotions reach their peak.
The game name appears.
["Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2"]
【Officially on sale on December 20th.】
[New work meeting at 10 a.m. on December 6th. 】
This completely detonated the players!!
Not to mention the last scene, how the players felt.
The game will be released on December 20th!
This date appears.
It’s enough for the players to cheer again!
Originally, they all thought that there would be no new games from Linmu Studio this year.
but.
Linmu Studio is always there
When the time is right, give players a light...
Just like that light at this moment...
So countless people.
Everyone was so excited at this moment.
The exposure of this game has also reached its peak, leaving an extremely deep impression on all players who saw the promotional video.
The opening ceremony had already attracted enough players.
After the first game.
Such an explosive performance.
You can imagine how good the effect is.
It is difficult to say clearly now whether the effect of Linmu Studio's broadcasting video at the e-sports festival is better than the effect of showing the video at the Global Game Awards.
Because players who are currently watching the live broadcast of the E-Sports Festival will definitely say that the video broadcast at the E-Sports Festival is very effective!
And as a viewer who doesn’t play games—Kou Hong.
...He was confused the whole time.
He didn't know the game "Call of Duty" and he wanted to go to the toilet after the game.
But the logo that appeared on the screen made him stop.
Then.
He just watched the entire promotional video.
As for his feelings... he didn't feel deeply about it. Apart from feeling that the game's promotional video was like a movie, he felt that the players were too crazy.
The scene of two overseas spectators standing on chairs next to him, taking off their clothes and waving vigorously was really impressive...
And at this time.
The promotional video is over.
The logo of the Linmu Studio E-Sports Festival, the black and white logo, appeared again, as if it had taken everything back, closed it again, and continued to beat and change forms.
then.
The highlights of the previous game began to play on the screen.
The new game promotional video just now seemed like a dream.
But the players who were discussing it heatedly reminded him that this was not a dream.
"Yes, toilet!"
The long-held urge to pee resurfaced.
Kou Hong reacted and quickly ran towards the toilet.
Linmu Studio is still a human being, in order to calm down the players' emotions a little and give them time to go to the toilet.
The next game is not started directly.
So Kou Hong had time to go to the bathroom.
But.
Kou Hong came to the door of the toilet and was still a little speechless when he saw the scene of dragons growing in the men's toilet...
Just now...how many people were holding back their urine?
"Damn it! The tickets this time are so worth it!!! I told you that as long as Lin Yao appears, there will be surprises!"
"It's worth it! It's really worth it! The new work was announced on the spot... I really didn't expect it, it's great!"
"Tomorrow is the meeting... Go back and go to bed early tonight! I don't know what story the new game will tell, but the promotional video is more exciting than the last game!"
"I'll buy it anyway!"
Kou Hong was at the end of the queue, and several young people in front of him were chatting excitedly.
And he concentrated and listened carefully.
Earlier, someone was also discussing this matter.
"Price's imprisonment should mean that the plot is consistent."
"Racing yachts on snowy creeks and creeks, and traditional racing and shooting each other! This game seems to have more ways to play! Damn! I want to play it so much!"
"It's so cool! I thought I was lucky at the opening ceremony! I can actually see a new game! It's so well integrated!"
"It's really great! I can come to the e-sports festival this time!"
"Do you think there will be any new games next?"
"Absolutely! And it may not only be new games, but also more exciting things. Don't forget that there are a lot of things in the box!"
"Stop talking, stop talking! Besides, I don't have to wait in line!"
"..."
Take a picture of a long team.
There were countless conversations.
Mandarin, English, and even French.
That’s outrageous!
It seems.
Indeed there are many
Many people were just holding it in...
Kou Hong listened carefully for a while, and then looked at the excited players in front of him. He didn't know whether they were suppressed or excited, and took a deep breath.
As an outsider.
At this moment, he clearly felt how influential the new game promotional video just played by Linmu Studio was.
Linmu Studio......
Linmu Studio is really outrageous!
It was hard to wait in line to use the toilet.
Kou Hong is back.
Not long after I sat down.
The opening game of the "Hero" project has also begun.
After the commentator came on stage, he started by talking about the promotional video for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" and thanked Linmu Studio for the wonderful promotional video they had just presented.
This move easily aroused the players' emotions.
The players cheered directly.
While welcoming the competition.
Looking forward to what surprises Linmu Studio will bring next.
Kou Hong sat down, then looked around the audience, and took a deep breath. He didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Wait if Lin Mu Studio has another surprise.
How excited can players be...
And at the same time.
Just when the players were getting excited, Kou Hong began to observe this e-sports festival from an outsider's perspective.
North America.
Gibber Company.
Frank still maintained his original actions.
He sat on the chair, leaned forward, and the smile on his face solidified.
Staying in the moment of sudden ecstasy...
Numb...
Finally, after the competition of the "Hero" project started.
Frank reacted, he reached out his hand, covered his face hard, and then rubbed it.
Put away the frozen smile.
Let yourself become expressionless.
He looked calm as he picked up the coffee cup from his lap and put it back on the table.
Then we came to the bar where the decanter was placed.
Pull out the stopper.
Pour yourself a full glass of brandy.
Hold the cup.
Head up.
Drink it in one gulp.
then.
He doesn't seem to be satisfied yet.
Keeping his face expressionless, he picked up the decanter again and poured half a glass into the glass.
Only this time, his hand holding the decanter was trembling slightly, showing that his heart was not as calm as his expression at the moment.
Tons tons tons...
Bitter wine enters throat.
A slight feeling of dizziness came over me.
After drinking a glass and a half of brandy, he immediately entered a tipsy state.
He put the cup down hard.
Then I held the edge of the bar and looked at the decanter, with a thought in my mind.
what to do?
Surprise, shock, anger, disbelief... He had already experienced these emotions just now when he was in a daze.
Now he wanted to think of a solution.
He was indeed panicked...
As for the reason for his panic, it was not the release of "Call of Duty".
At least not now.
What he is most worried about right now is the meeting for the new "Call of Duty" game held by Linmu Studio this evening, Eastern Time.
at this time.
There are still thirteen hours left before the meeting for the new "Call of Duty" game.
And now, there are still twelve hours left before the Global Game Awards is held.
Calculate based on time.
just.
When the Global Game Awards new game video is broadcast, the "Call of Duty" new game meeting will kick off...
As someone who has completely watched the opening ceremony of the Linmu Esports Festival and watched the announcement of the new "Call of Duty" game.
Frank was convinced.
If you are a player.
I will definitely choose to go to the "Call of Duty" new game meeting!
So...what to do? what to do? what to do
Now Frank's mind was filled with this question.
With only a dozen hours left, he couldn't even think of a coping strategy.
Frank was really panicked.
Linmu Studio has been prepared for a long time.
Lin Yao is eyeing the Global Game Awards.
And now... he feels like a clown.
"...There must be a way!"
Frank endured his blurry vision, suddenly gritted his teeth, picked up the decanter again, and filled himself a glass of wine.
But he just drank too quickly.
Too drunk.
As soon as he picked up the glass, most of the wine in the glass was shaken by his trembling hands, and it all spilled on the floor.
He maintained the posture of holding the cup and took a deep breath. After a while, he barely stabilized the hand holding the cup, stabilized his panicked heart, raised his head, and prepared to drink the wine in one gulp.
"Boss! "Call of Duty"——"
But just then.
The office door was suddenly pushed violently open.
A subordinate rushed in hurriedly.
He was obviously watching the live broadcast of the E-Sports Festival. After watching the news about "Call of Duty", he immediately wanted to tell his boss about it.
but.
He just spit out the word "Call of Duty" before he could continue.
I saw coffee stains on Frank's pants and brandy on the floor.
Just fell silent.
He wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
Frank saw his subordinate, then followed his gaze and looked down.
Also silent.
He wanted to explain, but he didn't know where to start.
