Chapter 132 A different world, whoever touches it will send it!
August, Chongqing.
After nearly a year, the "Star Emperor" 23-24 Golden Age League has finally come to an end.
It was supposed to end in June.
However, due to the entry of host manufacturers midway, the league added two new sub-stations, so the league was not completely completed until August.
The last stop is Chongqing!
AMD won the Golden Age League S1 annual championship with a total of 245 points thanks to its excellent team building, more professional teamwork, and strong logistical support!
It is worth mentioning that Nvidia actually has more than 200 total points.
But it was too slow in the later stage...
After continuous battles, Nvidia’s performance in the second half of the schedule can only be described as difficult to describe due to the inability of logistics support to keep up.
During the South American station, Nvidia even made a joke that the host was damaged and there were no suitable replacement parts. They asked the referee to suspend the game and then airlifted the parts from North America to the competition site.
That time the game was suspended for 13 hours, which made everyone confused.
Since then, the GAL League has formulated new rules. In the future, teams that do not have spare parts to replace will automatically lose, and will no longer be allowed to apply for a game suspension for this reason.
"Where did NVIDIA lose?" 》
"The AMD dynasty is established!" GAL23-24 annual championship! 》
"Multiple professional analysts on Wall Street said: The GAL League will greatly change the market share of consumer PC hardware..."
"Intel CEO: A series of consumer-grade independent graphics products will be launched in the future, targeting the S2 annual championship! 》
The impact of AMD's victory continues to ferment in the PC hardware circle, attracting reports from various media.
have to say.
AMD’s investment in this annual championship is really huge. According to estimates by professional analysts, AMD’s cumulative investment is no less than 100 million, ranking at the forefront of the GAL League.
Judging from the results, this more than 100 million is well spent. The influence and advertising effect of the first annual GAL championship can definitely offset this investment, and even make a lot of money!
Let’s not talk about the stock price first…
After AMD won the GAL annual championship, almost all A-series products ushered in a sales frenzy. Whether it was CPU or GPU, they were all the first choice for computer installers.
Market share increased slightly.
This is undoubtedly a great news for AMD. Lao Huang doesn't like those people who play games, but Su Ma likes them!
The popularity of the personal installation market has also led to the rise of the entire AMD brand image.
In the past, everyone said that AMD was not good, and it was still inferior to NVIDIA and Intel. But now, one sentence can render these two families speechless.
AMD is the S1 annual champion. What champion are you?
"It's his mother's fault!"
Nvidia and Intel are not vegetarians. After being choked by AMD, although they didn't say it, they actually increased their investment in the GAL League.
They are not convinced!
Manufacturers such as Renshuo and Shrinking Star can be said to have been defeated, but they are leaders in their respective industries. How can they tolerate AMD climbing over them and dominating them?
It is worth mentioning that.
Sony and Microsoft, the two console giants, performed relatively poorly in the competition due to their late entry and the natural disadvantages of the console platform.
But both of them claimed that they will work hard in the GAL competition in the new year to prove that their own host platforms are not bad, and they also have their own black technologies...
"real or fake?"
"of course it's true!"
Chen Ba said with a smile: "These two OEMs are not much worse than other companies in terms of size and technology. If they are really willing to use advanced technology, they will definitely achieve results next year."
There is no doubt about it.
The host platform is indeed at a huge disadvantage when competing in the GAL League, but it doesn’t mean it is impossible to win.
Sony and Microsoft, as long as they are willing to pile up information and reveal black technology, they might really surprise the audience and refresh the audience's stereotype of "poor console performance".
Of course, this also depends on courage.
Not every manufacturer is willing to apply the latest technology to the GAL League and be exposed in the spotlight.
For example, Lao Huang was scolded.
Many loyal N-card fans say that the reason why Nvidia lost the GAL's first annual championship trophy was because of Lao Huang's toothpaste-squeezing mentality.
Forget about squeezing out toothpaste when making products, why not squeeze out toothpaste when riding a horse during a competition?
AMD has already introduced technologies that will be "difficult to commercialize in ten years". Why are you still squeezing out toothpaste? Who are you showing it to?
"The GAL League is really popular!"
Speaking of this, Yang Dong couldn't help but sigh: "I feel that the popularity of this event and the number of viewers on the entire network have far exceeded the total players of the game "Star Emperor"."
"That's true..."
Chen Ba was also quite embarrassed.
The GAL League is an e-sports competition that was born out of "Star Emperor". As a result, the competition is more famous than the game. More than ten times more people watch the game than play the game.
This is too much.
Have you ever seen an example of a professional game becoming more famous than the game itself?
Now there is!
"Star Emperor" is like this. The competition is more famous than the game. The fans of top professional players are more than the number of active players in the entire game...
That’s right!
As the number one star player in the GAL League, Xu Xiaofei has at least tens of millions of fans online. It is not an exaggeration to call him a "big internet celebrity".
But at this moment, the total number of active players in "Star Emperor" is only one million. Who would dare to believe it?
"There is a certain degree of overlap between the audience watching the game and the players playing the game, but they are actually not the same group of people."
Yang Dong smiled and explained: "Just because he likes watching GAL games doesn't mean he plays this game. Many people only watch the games but don't play the games."
Commonly known as, cloud player!
There is not even a client...
This kind of thing is actually quite normal in the e-sports circle. To put it aside, take the most popular League of Legends professional league as an example. Do all the viewers watching the game have clients and are playing games?
This is pure fart!
The number of active players in League of Legends began to decline many years ago. Much of the popularity and popularity of today's competitions are supported by cloud players.
…
After the end of the 23-24 season, the GAL League entered a short offseason.
However, GAL players and staff can take vacations, but Tianba Studio cannot take a break. They still have to perform routine updates and maintenance for many of their games.
besides.
The TV series "Sojourn" adapted from "The Sojourn Simulator" will also be launched in the near future.
Chen Ba has been a member of Penguin Video for a month and is waiting for this drama!
On the day of the premiere, he got a projector and took everyone in the studio to watch this TV series adapted from his own game.
"Sojourn" will premiere with five episodes and will be updated with two episodes every day.
In addition to being able to watch it on Penguin Video, this drama can also be watched on CCTV’s eight TV drama channels, with the same two episodes per day.
Not only Chen Ba and others, but also many old players of "Simulator" are also paying attention to this show. Not long after the TV series started airing, discussion posts about the show appeared in the community.
"It's okay, the adaptation is quite good."
"The plot has a faster pace and the actors have superb acting skills. It is indeed a good game adaptation."
"Auntie! I like auntie so much..."
"If you don't have good reviews from young talents and famous celebrities, you will get one point for veteran actors, and one point for actors who are aunts. The minimum is eight points or more!"
Surprisingly, the show's reputation is pretty good. After watching it, many players who had no expectations actually felt that this adaptation was okay and acceptable.
Although the routines are still those common in family ethics dramas, the plot is derived from the game, so everyone will feel familiar with it, so it won't feel ridiculous.
And the most important thing is that the actors are basically veteran actors + capable young actors. The acting skills are indeed guaranteed and will not make people feel embarrassed.
"Okay, okay!"
Chen Ba watched the first two episodes and then checked the comment section. After confirming that the response to this drama was very good, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Haitian Film and Television was filming and developing the entire drama "Sojourn", Tianba Studio did not put much energy and attention into it. Even if it turns out to be a mess, the audience won't be able to blame Brother Ba.
But this drama is adapted from a game after all, so it would be false for him to say he doesn’t care.
Who would like a lump of schette if it could be photographed better?
That's good now.
Although it is not as powerful as those divine dramas, nor as attractive as those divine dramas, the overall performance is definitely top-notch in today's TV drama field.
There are no young talents or popular stars, which is a prerequisite for the quality of "Sojourn" to be guaranteed.
But because of this, this drama lacks a certain amount of traffic and exposure, and its popularity and popularity are all driven by the actor who plays "Auntie".
"The ratings are probably average."
"The number of online broadcasts is probably not much better. After all, viewers who love watching family ethics dramas like to watch them on TV, and young people on the Internet rarely watch them."
Yang Dong's analysis is spot on.
Chen Ba also agreed with his statement. It is indeed difficult for the drama "Sojourn" to become popular. After all, there is no young star, and there is no blessing from popular celebrities, so it inherently lacks a lot of exposure.
But it's not a big problem.
Haitian Film and Television did not invest much money in this drama, so it will definitely be able to repay its investment, and it is also a good thing to earn more reputation.
"It's okay, let's see what happens next."
The TV series has just started airing, so it would be too hasty to conclude now that the results will not be achieved.
Observe for a while longer!
If the ratings and broadcast volume of subsequent episodes never increase, then just pretend that nothing happened. What if... this show becomes popular?
One has to dream a little!
Although this dream is somewhat unrealistic, Chen Ba still has a glimmer of hope. If this show becomes popular, then taking advantage of this wave of popularity, the already buried "Household Simulator" can be pulled out again to stir up speculation.
"Instead of counting on the drama "Sojourn" to become popular, you might as well count on Divine Grace Animation..."
When Yang Dong heard this, he couldn't help complaining: "To tell you something that you may not know, there are already several divine grace animations that have been broadcast on domestic children's cartoon channels."
"Ah? Is there still such a thing?"
Since the early access of "Love Staff" started, Chen Ba really hasn't paid attention to the latest developments of "God's Grace Continent".
He was shocked when he suddenly learned that Shen'en animation had broken through the Internet platform and began to be broadcast on TV platforms.
Is anyone buying this?
No, are TV stations so short of cartoons now? It’s not good to buy any animation, but why should I buy Divine Grace Animation?
"Why can't you buy it?"
Yang Dong curled his lips and said: "Although Shen'en Animation has some shortcomings, it is better because it is cheap and has a large quantity!"
and……
Is this a big problem for children who love to watch cartoons?
joke!
Children don’t care what kind of divine animation they are. As long as it’s a cartoon and it’s interesting and interesting, they’ll love watching it.
“It’s really unexplainable to have large quantities and low prices.”
Chen Ba thought about it and found that Brother Dong's words made sense.
Shen’en Animation is available in large quantities and at a relatively cheap price, so these TV stations will definitely not lose money buying and broadcasting it.
Moreover.
The current domestic animation market is generally dominated by online animation, and there are really few TV animations.
Even if the TV station wants to buy better animation, on the one hand, it has limited financial resources, and on the other hand, it is difficult to review the animation.
The Divine Grace animation is much better.
There is basically no problem with the review. It is cheap and watchable. It is the best choice to send it to a TV station to broadcast to children.
If we talk about the previous Shen'en animation, it may not be able to do this, but since the image quality has been upgraded and the professional version and personalized customized version have been launched, it will be no problem.
"Bear Bears" has been dominating TV stations for so many years, so there's no reason why Shen En Animation can't be aired.
It’s not that the average quality of Shen’en animation is higher than that of “Bear Bears”, but for children, do they care who the protagonist of the animation is?
After watching the farce between Xiong Da Xiong Er and Bald Qiang for so many years, I should be tired of it.
At this time, it will definitely feel fresh to see a cartoon with "Skeleton" as the protagonist, "Slime" as the protagonist, and "Dragon" as the protagonist.
"Shen'en animation has been on TV for a long time. It was a foreign cartoon TV station that first introduced "The Adventures of Jayne"."
Yang Dong explained: "Later, with the entry of a large number of neon animators, more and more divine animations began to enter the TV platform."
The other world is basically finished.
This theme is not popular in China, but in Neon, a place that loves other worlds, it has basically been linked to "God's Grace Animation".
Nine out of ten of Neon’s new isekai anime are divine grace animations.
This ratio can be summed up in one word: Absolute!
To put it harshly, everyone is not interested in taking a look at the new series about time travel and reincarnation in another world. After all, you don’t need to look at it to know that this must have been made using the professional version of “God’s Grace Continent”.
What? Are you original?
That doesn’t work either!
The genre of isekai is already rotten. Even if it is original or an adaptation of a popular light novel or manga, it has no future at all.
Either join the divine grace animation or surrender where you are, there is no third option...
Didn’t you see that the famous RE0 and Gu Aotian series have been put in cold storage by the producers and announced that they will no longer produce sequels?
This subject is now a sinkhole.
Even the series whose previous games were so popular don’t dare to release sequels now. So what if you come up with another RE0? Can it change the status quo of Shen'en Animation ruling the other world?
Listen to my brother's advice, don't stick to other worlds, and change the subject quickly is the right way!
