Linmu Studio’s major channels, official social media accounts at home and abroad, official websites of major games, built-in email systems of major online games, and of course the vaprwave game platform.
All players were notified of the news at the same time, and the live broadcast room that had been prepared long ago was opened.
As for the number and influence of game-related channels.
All domestic and overseas game manufacturers combined are not enough to compete with Linmu Studio...
With such a large-scale announcement by Linmu Studio, players have long been looking forward to the birth of ‘Ready Player One’.
So less than a minute.
Countless players poured into the live broadcast room and started waiting!
Players also know that someone has collected all the Easter eggs.
What exactly Lin Mu Studio is going to do...is about to be revealed.
I'm coming!】
Finally, a boss has cleared the level!]
Come on, come on, where’s the screen? Why hasn’t it come out yet?】
What exactly could it be? Does anyone know?】
Isn’t it just to promote who is the number one player?】
...]
Countless players started discussing while looking at the still picture.
Half a minute later.
Linmu Studio Headquarters.
The LED screen outside the building lit up...
Many pedestrians passing by were attracted by the scene and raised their heads to look at the LED screen outside the Linmu Studio Building.
What also lit up at the same time was the live broadcast room screen.
When the players saw the screen light up, they immediately stopped the discussion.
But expected.
The words to congratulate a certain player on becoming the ‘number one player’ were not spoken...
Instead, an introduction to the works corresponding to all the Easter eggs in "Easter Egg Adventure" scrolled on the screen.
During this period, the third-party works that players were familiar with because of the easter eggs began to appear on the screen one by one in the form of text...
1 dice and siege crossbow.】
It comes from the tabletop role-playing game "Dungeon". The game was first invented by an insurance salesman in Wisconsin. The first version of the game was released in 1974. This game had a great influence on role-playing games, and many subsequent games of the same type were
All have been affected by it.]
7Wrong press.]
It comes from the action role-playing online game "GTER", independently developed by Tianhu Entertainment and launched in public beta in 2002. It was a rare side-scrolling game at that time and one of the shining pearls in the 2D online game era. 】
8What exactly are you protecting?]
"Giants of Light" is a sci-fi themed special series TV series launched in the 1960s, which pioneered the mode of "giant heroes fighting monsters".]
...]
All third-party easter egg-related works began to scroll on the screen at a speed that was neither too fast nor too slow.
On the left is a thumbnail of the work, and on the right is a text introduction.
The introductions are not long, and most are just a few short sentences.
Players can watch it all, but only for a few seconds.
And this part is not very interesting.
After all, this is just like the credits after completing the game.
can see.
But it’s really unnecessary, the average player won’t pay attention at all.
Logically speaking, players watch the live broadcast with high expectations, but in the end they see such a boring introduction to the work. How can they be dissatisfied?
If this was an ordinary live broadcast, it would be.
But as it happens...this is no ordinary live broadcast.
"Easter Egg Adventure" has been open for a full week.
The addition of countless easter eggs from third-party works has long since broken the circle of this little game.
this week.
Countless people come here in admiration.
In addition to players, many comic readers and fans of film and television works also came to join in the fun.
Together they discussed the origin of the Easter eggs and the classic works behind them.
As Mou Feng said...it's like participating in a carnival that everyone can participate in.
And with this experience.
now.
How could these viewers of the live broadcast feel bored after seeing the introduction of each work?
Not only did they not feel bored, they even felt as if they were watching the closing ceremony of a carnival to wrap up their emotions...
Live comments.
As the works corresponding to the Easter eggs continue to scroll, they appear.
Players continue to see works that they are familiar with, and then have their first experience with these works.
Different people, different experiences, different titles of works.
Start appearing together in the live comment section.
It formed a very interesting and shocking scene.
And this situation.
It lasted nearly ten minutes.
Until the last easter egg appears.
The audience just stopped scrolling.
Pengcheng.
After Li Yu's game stopped, the page that jumped out was the live broadcast web page.
Therefore, he also witnessed that interesting and shocking scene...
When the last easter egg scrolls and disappears from the edge of the screen.
Ready Player One: Superfluous]
Devotion]
New words slowly emerged and stayed in the center of the picture.
The end of the Easter egg introduction.
Linmu Studio introduces the number one player in this easter egg adventure to all audiences - Superfluous.
As soon as this scene came out.
The real-time comments immediately poured out a bunch of 'congratulations' and 'awesome'.
Countless spectators began to congratulate and praise this newly promoted number one player.
Li Yu looked at the congratulations and praises filling the screen and froze on the spot.
He felt quite subtle.
Excitement, joy, excitement...
Scratched his head.
Then.
Li Yu couldn't help it anymore and burst out laughing.
No matter how.
Worth it!
at the same time.
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng couldn't help but smile as he looked at the four words 'dedication' that slowly emerged at the end.
Linmu Studio is really serious...which player can resist this...
This not only satisfies "Ready Player One", but also gives all players participating in "Easter Egg Adventure" a point to vent their emotions.
have to say.
As expected of them.
Really let them understand.
Next, let’s watch the forest carnival scene...
Mou Feng thought with some emotion, this idea just came to his mind.
At the same time on the other side.
Many players also thought it was over and were digesting the emotional aftertaste.
Live page.
The words "dedication" stayed for more than ten seconds and then began to disappear slowly.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Continue.
Ta-ta.
Accompanied by retro footsteps sound effects, an old man in a cloak who is very familiar to players suddenly walked out from the edge of the screen...
On the other side of the screen, another character that players are very familiar with, the original character they controlled in "Easter Egg Adventure" also came out, with the word "superfluous" on his head, and met the old man.
Two pixel-style characters stay in the middle of the screen.
then.
Drop, drop.
Two ellipses appear.
A speech bubble appears above the head of the old man in a cloak.
These are all the foundation of the oasis.】
...Oasis?] The pixel character with the word ‘superfluous’ on his head seemed a little curious, jumping around and asking a question.
Yes, Green State.]
What is an oasis?]
………]
Do you want to read the first love letter?]
The silhouette of an old man wearing a cloak paused and did not answer directly.
Instead, after two ellipses appeared, he suddenly asked a question.
"..."
This sudden scene.
It instantly drew the attention of the players who were congratulating Li Yu.
The real-time comments disappeared instantly.
Li Yu, who was laughing, was also startled.
He looked at the screen, looking at the pixelated villain holding his game on the screen, with a confused look on his face... What is this?
until.
That familiar inquiry appeared before me again.
Do you want to read the first love letter?]
Li Yu was startled and his eyes widened.
etc!
Yes...love letter!?
And on the screen.
Faced with this problem.
The pixelated villain who stood up to Li Yud didn't hesitate for long.
soon.
A new bubble box appeared above his head.
"yes."
And with this ‘yes’ appears.
Originally, the live broadcast room only had monotonous eight-bit sound effects.
Change of style!
Accompanied by the sound of paper being turned.
A brilliant performance was staged.
Countless letters suddenly flew out and swept over me.
then.
When the letter blocks the lens.
The screen goes dark.
When it lights up again.
on the screen.
Linmu Studio LG, which is very familiar to all viewers, slowly emerged and was fixed in the center of the screen...
Next, there is LG, the film distributor that cooperates with Linmu Studio.
I just watched the beginning.
Real-time comment area.
Countless question marks popped up.
The audience in front of the screen was all stunned.
What the fuck!?
etc!
Could it be...a new work!???
No way!
Just when the players came up with this idea.
It gives people a cheerful and joyful feeling, and the rhythmic BG suddenly sounds!
There are more question marks in the real-time comment area.
Because some players instantly recognized which song it was...
It is the masterpiece of the world's most representative rock band in the 1990s.
And this year’s Easter Egg Adventure includes an Easter egg for this song!
etc!
Linmu Studio! Just wait!
Countless players heard the familiar melody and frantically tapped the question mark.
And the live broadcast room.
Of course we can’t wait for the promotional video.
Accompanied by familiar rock music.
The screen appears...
This is the oasis world.】
On the screen, in the dirty carriage, the male protagonist picked up the VR glasses and slowly put them on his head.
then.
Along with his introduction.
The camera moved and came to the VR glasses.
Dazzling lines fill the eyes and extend infinitely forward, as if leading the player into another dimension.
then.
The picture changes.
The dazzling game world appeared in front of all the audience...
This is a completely virtual universe.】
In the oasis, people do whatever they want.】
People can become anyone by staying here.】
With the introduction of the protagonist.
Shots of the city changing appear on the screen.
The first promotional video Easter egg appears.
On the racing track.
The protagonist looks for a seat, and then directly passes by a man wearing a white robe and a hood.
When the protagonist passed by, the man swiped and flashed his hidden sword.
"???????!"
Real-time comment area.
If the player can't tell who it is, then their game is in vain.
So, question marks instantly filled the entire screen again...
then.
The picture changed again.
The protagonist goes to the bar and passes two customers who are about to leave the bar.
Although those two people were only glimpsed at a glance, many viewers recognized them at a glance. They were the super villains in American comics...
The audience is also familiar with this... because it also appeared in "Easter Egg Adventure!"
"???????????????"
Then.
The promotional video begins to explain the main story of the entire movie.
Oasis, the creator of this virtual universe is dead.
But he buried an Easter egg in the game, and the first person to find it will not only inherit 500 billion, but also take over the entire oasis!
What the movie is about is the process of players and careerists competing against each other in order to find Easter eggs...
This is not difficult to understand.
Players don’t have time to understand yet!
Because the main part of the story has been explained.
After an explosion.
The screen starts to switch quickly.
More characters familiar to players appear!
"King Kong!
"
Empire State Building.
The chimpanzee with the same name as Lin Yao's previous work looks down at the camera and then jumps down.
Immediately afterwards...
"Steel Behemoth!"
"Ghost doll!"
"Giant of Light!"
"bt!"
Most of the images in the promotional video disappear in a flash.
but.
Just the names of these characters being shouted out.
It was enough to make the audience all stand up...
The audience also all realized what this work represents...
The number of question marks in the real-time comment area has reached a terrifying level...
And wait for the promotional video to play to the end.
On top of the glacier.
The decisive battle.
Characters from various games, comics, animations, and movies appear in the lens.
There are classic old characters among them.
There are also new characters from Linmu Studio’s latest game.
There are huge light giants, bts, steel behemoths, and tyrants.
There are small ghost dolls, Pokémon...
Of course, there are also superheroes of normal proportions, the coven of witches in the game Witches...
In short.
All kinds of popular culture, all in one place! Appearing on the same scene like a hodgepodge!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The real-time comment area exploded instantly!
Just two minutes.
The real-time comment system collapsed.
It just collapsed!
This leads to the end of the promotional video.
When the movie title and release date are announced.
The entire live broadcast room was actually quiet.
There is no movement at all...
"Ready Player One"
July 1.]
The movie title and release date are fixed in the center of the live broadcast room.
But the live broadcast room was as calm as water.
certainly.
This is just an appearance...
Underneath the calm water surface, there are actually already turbulent waves.
Players, like the real-time comment system, have already exploded...
…
Live broadcast website headquarters.
Every time Lin Mu Studio does a live broadcast, the live broadcast website is well prepared. On the one hand, the live broadcast website depends on Lin Mu Studio to a certain extent.
On the other hand, Lin Mu Studio makes a lot of noise every time it goes live...
So every time they live broadcast, the live broadcast website takes it very seriously, and will arrange special personnel to keep an eye on it, and solve problems immediately if they encounter any problems.
For example, the real-time comment system crashes or something like that...
Usually, if it does break down, it can basically be repaired quickly, after all, there is someone watching over it.
But this time, it's different...
"——Mom!
"
A loud shout.
Suddenly spread throughout the entire floor.
Attracts countless eyes.
At a certain work station, a young man suddenly stood up, raised his hands above his head, his face was red, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.
He didn't mind the eyes of others at all. After yelling, he bent down again and began to crazily chant "Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!" in the live broadcast room!
’.
He knew the real-time comment system was broken.
He knows! He is the one responsible for watching the live broadcast room!
But he doesn't care about it at all now!
Because it’s really awesome!
..."Ready Player One!"
Even if he dies today! He still has to deduct these dozen damn things!
Otherwise he will suffocate to death!
And at the same time.
Sky Fox.
Mou Feng maintained his original sitting position and looked at the screen motionlessly.
Nothing has changed.
Except for his expression.
After the promotional video is played.
His expression began to change.
Surprise, shock, disbelief... various expressions began to appear on his face one by one as the promotional video played.
This means there are no outsiders.
Otherwise, you will definitely sigh when you see it... It turns out that human expressions can be so complicated.
By the end, Mou Feng's face was numb.
But he still stared and opened his mouth.
Why did Linmu Studio include so many Easter eggs from third-party works in "Easter Egg Adventure"?
He thought about countless possibilities.
But now this possibility... He really hadn't thought about it, let alone thought about it.
He never even had a thought.
The promotional video is halfway through.
He still couldn't believe it.
...make a movie out of Easter eggs!?
until.
The promotion ends and the release date and movie title appear.
"Ready Player One is reflected in his boy hole."
Only then did he become truly convinced...this was no joke.
Because this movie... is called "Ready Player One!"
Look at the movie title.
moment.
Mou Feng thought of many things.
There are rumors about Linmu Studio’s ongoing copyright negotiations, the ‘Love Letter’ theme of Linmu Carnival, the changes in “Easter Egg Adventure…” and the live broadcast of Easter Eggs from third-party works just introduced.
It was already planned.
Such an idea suddenly appeared...
Mou Feng slowly closed his mouth, then looked at the screen and the quiet live broadcast room, and sighed.
Of course, Mou Feng didn't know how complicated his expression was.
He looked at the live broadcast room and had only one idea left at this moment.
Really... they deserve their success!
Who can withstand this...?
…
Pengcheng.
Not long ago.
Before getting the final easter egg.
Li Yu thought about countless possibilities.
Love letters...what exactly do they look like?
And he felt at that time that no matter what was written in the love letter, he would not be surprised.
but.
He really didn't expect that the so-called 'love letter' would look like this...
Watch the promotional video in its entirety.
"Easter Egg Adventure...love letter theme...love letter...everything is connected in series."
Yes.
This love letter has no words.
not a single one.
But it is more shocking than any words...
“Love letter…fuck!
"
Li Yu looked at the live broadcast, as if there was a dull thunder in his mind, and his whole body started to tremble.
Got goosebumps all over my body!
…
“Linmu Studio – awesome!
"
at the same time.
Outside the Linmu Studio headquarters.
LED large screen.
The promotional video for "Ready Player One" is also playing.
At this moment, there are also many players watching the promotional video outside the building.
When they see the promotional video at the end.
Various characters appear in the same scene like a hodgepodge.
One player was so excited that he jumped up and yelled.
It's like a sudden onset of illness.
This scared a little girl nearby who was watching the fun...
"...Dad, why is my brother so excited?"
The little girl looked at the screaming player and immediately hid aside. Then she looked up at her father and asked in confusion.
Her father also looked up at the imaginative picture on the screen.
Although he didn't recognize most of the characters.
But he was also young...
He still saw two familiar characters that he knew.
And it was precisely because of these two familiar characters that he, who was just watching the fun, thought of many things.
Those dusty handles, those discs that no optical drive can read, those friends who have disappeared, and that antique game console that no longer has an adapter for the TV...
until.
The daughter's voice sounded.
He just came back to his senses, smiled knowingly, then glanced at the excited young man, looked down at his daughter, and replied softly: "Brother, maybe he saw something he likes..."
…
As soon as "Ready Player One" was announced... the popularity exploded!
Live streaming website.
The real-time comment system crashed, and players couldn't express their feelings at that moment.
But this does not represent other places, nor can it be expressed.
If the movie is just an ordinary promotion.
The effect is probably not that exaggerated.
But the movie was announced at the end of "Easter Egg Adventure"...Linmu Studio slowly laid the groundwork, arousing the players' emotions step by step, and finally detonated it completely.
Coupled with the naturally high universality of the film carrier.
Just like Mou Feng said.
Who can withstand this...
The live broadcast just ended, less than half an hour later.
"Ready Player One" has reached the top of the hot search list!
Whether you play games or not, everyone participated in the discussion!
Player community.
That would be even scarier.
without any exaggeration.
This day... belongs entirely to "Ready Player One."
If we say that before, players still had questions about the theme of this year’s carnival, ‘Love Letter’.
After the announcement of Ready Player One...all doubts disappeared.
Because they really can't find... a more appropriate metaphor than a love letter.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-Ready Player One! Linmu Studio!
】
With so many copyrights, you can imagine how much effort Linmu Studio has spent... There are many works in my memory. Really, as I get older, I cried when I saw the promotional video!
Linmu Studio is now a god in my heart! A god forever!
】
The decades of history of the development of electronic products seemed to be condensed into that moment, plus I had just experienced "Easter Egg Adventure..." It was really exciting and thrilling. This should be the best love letter I have ever received in my life.
'Yeah... Facts have proved that Lin Yao is always the producer who understands players best.]
At the end of the promotional video, it was like the Tianling Cap being cracked open, and then being poured a head of ice, feeling comfortable from head to toe! What a love letter... maybe only Linmu Studio can write such a love letter.】
Everyone buy me tickets!
Buy me a ticket!
】
Lin Yao...thank you.】
...]
no doubt.
"Ready Player One...succeeded."
…
the next day.
Linmu Studio.
Qi Jianhua, who had been browsing social media all night yesterday, went straight to the operations department as soon as he arrived at the company.
Although he has already roughly understood the feedback from players.
But without seeing the specific data, he still felt uneasy...
Half an hour later.
Qi Jianhua successfully obtained the "Relevant data in various dimensions after the announcement of the number one player" given by the operations department.
After seeing the horrific data.
Qi Jianhua immediately beamed with joy, and then rushed directly to Lin Yao's office.
"Lin Yao!"
Under excitement.
Qi Jianhua didn't even knock on the door, he pushed it open and walked in.
Then he yelled.
"..."
But there was no figure of Lin Yao in the office, and it wasn't even Mu Wanqing who stayed in the office.
It's the person in charge of the marketing department, Xi Qianyu.
She is watering the green plants on Lin Yao's table.
"Why are you here? Where is Lin Yao?" Qi Jianhua was stunned when he saw her.
"Return to Lin Yao...she would have run away a long time ago."
Xi Qianyu sighed after hearing this and put down the small shower head: "Together with Manager Mu... Manager Mu had completed all work handovers three days ago, including watering."
She pointed to the green plants on the table.
"——Ah???" Qi Jianhua was stunned, with a question mark on his head.
"It seems I didn't tell your product department."
Xi Qianyu glanced at his expression and immediately understood the cause and effect. She smiled helplessly: "I probably don't want to affect you, but it's normal to think about it... The administrative department has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to mention it in particular. As for Lin
Yao, there’s no substitute for this, so it’s better not to say anything…”
Xi Qianyu was still talking.
But Qi Jianhua didn't listen at all and stayed where he was.
Just ran away?
You really don’t even give people time to express their feelings?
...is he so handsome?
He slowly lowered his head and looked at Lin Yao's desk, showing a look of helplessness.
Of course, there is also some disappointment.
"I've finished watering...do you have anything else to do?"
At this time.
Xi Qianyu awakened Qi Jianhua.
Qi Jianhua glanced at her and then retreated to the door.
Xi Qianyu walked out, closed the office door, patted his shoulder, and left.
She could understand the mood of these product department staff and how much Lin Yao meant to them, but she was really helpless.
Qi Jianhua was still stunned on the spot, unresponsive.
After a long time.
He just came back to his senses, smiled in despair, and was about to turn around and leave.
But the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed the sign on Lin Yao's office door from the corner of his eye...
He paused for a moment, then immediately stopped and turned around.
And after seeing clearly what’s on the sign…
Qi Jianhua was stunned again.
Then, he shook his head helplessly, with some relief, and finally glanced at the sign, turned around and left, dumbfounded.
And soon...
Calm returned in front of Lin Yao's office.
There are still staff passing by Lin Yao's office.
Everything seems to be no different from countless ordinary working days in the past.
If anything, it really makes a difference.
It's probably the sign at the door of Lin Yao's office.
The sign that originally only had Lin Yao's name, but I don't know when, a few more words were added——
