Chapter 160 Opening of ChinaJoy

After carefully reading all the student profiles reported under his school, Zheng Lu picked out some students who are good at genres or favorite game genres that are not his strong point, and handed over to other teachers to teach them.For example, those who are good at writing programs are handed over to Xu Zhili, who is the most tolerant of loneliness.If you like music games, I recommend it to Dabing.Of course, the reasons were explained to Lu Xiaocheng one by one.

At the end of the final allocation, Zheng Lu filled in the shortfalls of several teachers, while the rest, such as Lin Biyu and Shang Fei, had a slight surplus, so they also made some adjustments, and now everyone is happy.

"Oh, are the four madmen ready to go it alone?"

Zheng Lu then looked through the information and found that none of the students under the teacher had the names of the four madmen. Presumably they were planning to start their own projects.These little guys are really crazy. They dared to start their own business after just one year of study.

"Oh, they're not working alone, but four of them joined together to start a new game."

The Four Madmen once told Lu Xiaocheng this idea, so she knew what these people were doing.After half a year of practice, they also understand that their own strength is not considered to be a master, and it is very disadvantageous to work alone, so the four of them joined together, and now their strength has greatly increased.

"Hehe, I don't know what kind of plan they will come up with when the next semester starts. We teachers have to work harder, we can't be compared by the students in the first year!"

After the meeting was concluded, Zheng Lu saw that it was getting late, so he invited everyone to dinner here and then dispersed.

.............................................

The ChinaJoy conference has finally started. Zheng Lu and others, as game producers, are going to participate in the China Game Developers Conference. In addition, they will arrange some interviews with game magazines.As for the exhibition, Han Luoqi, the president of the teachers' association, led the team, led the idol group and the COSPLAY team to perform for the area where Banzhai University is located.

In previous years, ChinaJoy basically focused on online games, and stand-alone games only appeared as an addition, and the identity was neither awkward nor embarrassing.But this year is different. The stand-alone game group dominated by Banzhai University seems to have a momentum of surpassing online games. Basically, there are stand-alone games on every booth.

"Among this year's awards, stand-alone games should have a place, right?"

Members of the ChinaJoy organizing committee are discussing, and they also have some expectations for the rise of stand-alone games in recent years.In particular, major online game manufacturers have also entered this area one after another.

Game development is a money-burning thing, not to mention advertising investment, just script, animation design, action, sound effect capture, modeling, programming, editing, molding, testing, packaging design and printing, plate pressing, contacting sellers, etc. , is a huge expense.Only these large companies with sufficient capital can develop sophisticated large-scale games.

"In the China Excellent Game Producer Selection Contest, stand-alone games should have good results. It's just that this Golden Plume Award doesn't seem to have an award for stand-alone games, right? There is one for mobile games, but most of the exhibitors are computer games now. , do you want to set up a separate award?"

"In addition, there are the EBOX game console of Linkage Company and the Yutongjian handheld computer of Banzhai University. If only computer game awards are set, how about the games on their two platforms?"

"Then create a stand-alone game category, no matter what game platform can be added. The annual best game selection conference will be held in November, and it should be too late to do it now."

After the discussion, this year's ChinaJoy conference added an award setting for stand-alone games, which can be regarded as a sign of the rise of the stand-alone game industry.

As a representative of Banzhai University, Zhou Yixuan participated in the China Game Business Conference.But what troubled him the most was that the ChinaJoy organizing committee invited him to attend a symposium with the main developer of the Jade Tong Jian handheld device, Ban Zhai Xianren. Also on the same stage were the main developer of EBOX and the president of the company. .It is estimated that the success of EBOX has added this symposium to this summit.

But where can Zhou Yixuan go to find the Banzhai Immortal?In desperation, he had no choice but to find Tian Xiaofeng.Apart from Immortal Banzhai, he is also the main developer of Yutongjian, and also the mainframe developer of Banzhai University. I think he will be asked to be Immortal Banzhai's substitute in the future.

"Hey, I really want to go to the exhibition to watch the cosplay performance. This game developer conference must be a boring conference. By the way, Caitou, why don't we get away!"

In a hotel in Shanghai, Zhou Yixuan booked rooms for everyone.Because there were so many people, we booked double rooms with extra beds.Zheng Lu feels that tomorrow's conference is too boring, and this developer conference actually lasts for three days. If he really wants to listen to each one, he probably won't have the chance to go to the exhibition to watch the excitement.

"That's not good, if we are caught by Mr. Zhou, then we will be out of luck."

Before Caitou could reply, Cheng Xiaodong next to him took over.He has always followed the rules, so he was a little hesitant.But the head of the lion house didn't care about that much, and immediately signed up for the sneaking operation. The ChinaJoy exhibition lasts only three days. Instead of spending time in this boring conference, it is better to walk around, take photos and so on.

"Then it's settled, and don't call other people. The goal is too big and it will be easily exposed. We will not form a team tomorrow, and we will play on our own. When the time is up, we will find a place to gather and unify our caliber."

After Zheng Lu finished speaking, he took out his backpack, which contained a full set of camera equipment. It seemed that this guy had prepared everything and was just waiting to escape.Except for the day of the interview where I couldn’t escape, the rest of the time was a paradise of freedom.Originally, Zheng Lu planned to invite Fang Xin to go to the exhibition with him, but she went back to her hometown with her mother two days ago, so she couldn't come with him.

The next day, Zheng Lu and the others saw Zhou Yixuan going to another exhibition area for a meeting, so they followed the plan.They reported to their respective conference halls, and then used various escape methods to sneak out and ran to other places to enjoy themselves.The venue is not open yet, only the staff are walking around, which is more convenient for Zheng Lu to take pictures. The beauties of ChinaJoy have always been a sight to behold, and most of Zheng Lu's film was wasted on them.In addition, various commercial performances are also places where Zheng Lu plans to hang out.

"Okay, don't take pictures of the little glasses anymore, it's important to do business!"

In Zheng Lu's backpack, there was also a PSP, through which Glasses Girl and Fox Hua Xiaoxuan were watching the conference scene outside.Seeing that Zheng Lu was lingering among the beauties at various booths, the glasses girl Huo Dadi reminded her.Apart from not liking going to meetings, the reason why Zheng Lu slipped away this time was another important reason.That is, Zheng Lu intends to give a special performance to the exhibition area of ​​Banzhai University, so as to better promote the Yutongjian handheld.

"Okay, just take a few more pictures and leave!"

Zheng Lu reluctantly took a few more photos before arriving at the exhibition area of ​​Banzhai University.Han Luoqi looked at Zheng Lu strangely, he should be having a meeting at another venue at this time, why did he come here?Zheng Lu had no choice but to tell her, and lied that he was here to help Han Luoqi.Fortunately, Han Luoqi is currently short of manpower, so he doesn't mind Zheng Lu sneaking around.

Zheng Lu was arranged to go to the side to watch the computer and adjust the broadcast of the live music and commercial video, which was exactly what Zheng Lu wanted.

"Girl with glasses, connect to this computer as fast as you can!"

The glasses girl connected over in response, Zheng Lu clicked OK, and then the lights in the exhibition area flickered a few times, but then returned to normal.Others see that it is just a small problem, so I don't care too much.In fact, when the booth was being built, Zheng Lu, in the name of the Banzhai Immortal, asked Zhou Yixuan to stuff all the equipment he needed into the booth, and now it was time to put it into effect.

Soon the venue's opening time came, and the crowds waiting outside rushed in, and the whole hall became lively in an instant.Activities such as stage performances, new work displays, and demos in each exhibition area have also been opened one after another.Zheng Lu's heart was itching to see it, and since the network was already connected, he sneaked out.

The game video of "Jianghu Game Dream" was played on the big screen in the Banzhai University exhibition area, and the trial area showed the Jade Tong Jian handheld device.The game cartridge used by Yutong Jian of Banzhai University for his handheld console is half the size of a playing card. You can open the channel compartment from the side and insert it to start the game. It is similar to the PSP memory card.

About twenty Jade Eye Janes were prepared on site for players to try out. The trial time for each player was 10 minutes. Although it was a bit short, there was nothing we could do about it.Because it was not long before the opening of the museum, there was a long queue in front of the trial area, and it would be too late if the time was not shortened.If you feel that the trial play time is too short, you can also go to some other deserted exhibition areas, where the trial play time will be longer.

Because the stage performance was arranged in the afternoon, all these students were pulled out to act as companions.They are now wearing character costumes, so it is also helpful to attract players.The games on Yutong Jian are all action shooting and horizontal version clearance games, so 10 minutes of trial play is enough.But there is only one that can be regarded as a masterpiece, and it is called "Five Rats in Tokyo".

This is a game developed to reflect the functions of Yutongjian's handheld, so Zheng Lu asked the glasses girl to raise the quality of this game to the highest level that Yutongjian can play, and it is extremely gorgeous.The opening CG alone is enough to compare "The Dream of Knights of the Jianghu", and when the picture is displayed on the big screen, the players are even more amazed.Fortunately, this game is not an RPG, so it will not crash.

"Banzhai Immortal is really strong. In comparison, his disciples are a little lacking, although they are also very good."

While waiting for the trial, some players watched the two works taking turns on the big screen and sighed like this.It is normal for a disciple to lose to his master, so everyone did not look down on Banzhai University.

"I want to try this "Five Rats in Tokyo"!"

A player whose turn it was to make a request to the accompanying person next to him, and the accompanying person replaced him with a new game card. "Five Rats in Tokyo" is based on the five rats in "Three Heroes and Five Righteousness". It is a stealth game.There are three modes in the game, story mode, free mode and competitive mode.

In the story mode, under the instruction of Bao Zheng, the player will choose a fixed role, sneak into the target's home and steal all kinds of evidence needed to solve the case, so as to promote the development of the plot.The last level is King Xiangyang's Sky Tower. Whether the Chinchilla Bai Yutang's fate can be changed depends on the player's own skills.

In the free mode, players can choose the character they want to control at will, choose the big business they want to attack in Tokyo, and steal all the items they want.Among them, the most difficult one is the Imperial City. This level is not only a big map, but also quite heavily guarded. The most difficult thing is to fight against Zhan Zhao, who is known as the 'Royal Cat'.

The final competitive mode is to connect with other players, set a goal and then take action separately, whoever achieves the goal first is the winner.Jianghu Monthly will record all actions of players, and the evaluation above will also affect the player's title. How to reproduce the sensational scene of "Five Rats in Tokyo" will be a major problem.

In addition, in most of the levels in the story mode, Bao Zheng's request is to absolutely avoid identity leakage, and cannot use force, and can only win by skill.In the free mode, there is no such restriction. Players can break in fully armed, or they can attack secretly.Among the victories that players get, some are common gold and silver goods, some are handy props, and some are weapons and equipment.

The player who chose to try this game was obviously attracted by the beautiful graphics on the big screen, but he did not take into account the time required for the game.The initial level of this game will take at least 5 minutes to pass, even for people who are completely familiar with the map.If a person who has never been exposed to this game wants to pass the level within the 10-minute trial time, unless he is a super game master, it is really impossible.

It was obvious that this player was not an expert, and soon after he made a careless operation, his infiltration was discovered.Moreover, he was playing in the story mode. Bao Zheng explicitly ordered not to be discovered in the level. Once discovered, the mission failed.

"Mom, do you want to start from scratch again? You'll have to watch the cutscene for 2 minutes!"

Later, as soon as he was playing vigorously, the companion next to him smiled and told him that the time was up, so he had to put down the Yutong slip depressed.However, this guy had plenty of perseverance, and soon went back to the end of the team to line up, and it seemed that he planned to challenge again.

"Where's Zheng Lu? Where did this kid go?"

Seeing that the manpower was tight, Han Luoqi was about to ask Zheng Lu for help, but found that he had disappeared to an unknown place.Han Luoqi was so angry that she clenched her teeth. If she wanted to help, it was obvious that she was too lazy to go to the meeting and wanted to wander around.After returning home, he complained to Fang Xin, saying that he had a nosebleed from looking at the beautiful women at the exhibition!Han Luoqi thought viciously in his heart.

These words did not wrong Zheng Lu, this kid wandered around, and whenever he saw a beautiful woman, he would take a picture.When the shooting is almost finished, I go to each booth to queue up to try it out.

"Teacher Zheng Lu, why did you come here?"

When Zheng Lu was queuing up, a surprised voice sounded in his ear.Zheng Lu was also taken aback. He didn't know who recognized him. If it was Mr. Zhou, he would have walked away without food.So Zheng Lu hurriedly turned his head to take a look, but it was the leader of the Daewoo CG team that cooperated with Banzhai University in the first semester.

"Haha, it's you. Didn't I come to line up to try out the fairy sword?"

Seeing that he was not from the school, Zheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief.But he couldn't remember the name of the person in front of him, so he had to make a fool of himself.

"Oh, it's an honor for the first game developer of Banzhai University to try out our game. No need to queue up, come here. You really want to play, let me give you a copy of the game CDs are fine! Where is the queue?”

The elder brother enthusiastically welcomed Zheng Lu aside, and actually took out a CD and stuffed it for Zheng Lu.It's better now, no need to buy it.I didn't expect that my face was quite big. If I gave myself games in every exhibition area, it would be prosperous.

Zheng Lu thought beautifully in his heart.But unfortunately, this is just Zheng Lu's dream.No one in the other exhibition areas recognized Zheng Lu at all, let alone any friendship with him.

It was already noon when Zheng Lu finished visiting all the exhibition areas.So Zheng Lu returned to the half-house university exhibition area, preparing to have a work meal.

"Stinky boy, are you willing to come back?"

As soon as Zheng Lu came back, he ran into Han Luoqi.She was trying to 'frame' Zheng Lu, but she ran back and threw herself into the trap.

"Uh, I've lost my ability to observe the enemy's situation. Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle."

Zheng Luting Han Luoqi spoke in a low tone, so he knew something was wrong, this was the precursor of Han Luoqi's anger.So he quickly made up an excuse, trying to get away with it.

"Just sit here for me in the afternoon. If you still want to run away, I'll tell Fang Xin that you're picking up girls at the exhibition, and then going to dinner with an unknown lady!"

Han Luoqi's move was poisonous enough, Zheng Lu said on the spot that he would firmly stick to his post and would not waver if he was beaten to death.Han Luoqi has always said that she will do it, for the sake of her own future, it is better to be quiet.It's a pity that the afternoon is the focus, and there will be performances on various stages, so I don't have a chance to enjoy them now.

Seeing that Zheng Lu was deflated, the other students laughed in a low voice, which made Zheng Lu even more depressed.Fortunately, I can also watch my own stage performance in the afternoon, which is a small compensation.Since the performance team was selected, it was handed over to other people to design the stage moves. Zheng Lu has never watched it once, so the novelty is still there.

"Little Glasses, when will our plan be launched?"

During Zheng Lu's meal, the glasses girl couldn't wait to run out.She has everything ready now, she waited inside for a long time, but she didn't see an order from Zheng Lu, and now she is a little impatient.
