Chapter 149 It’s just a trick, don’t take it seriously!

The time has come for May.

With the arrival of summer, the temperatures across the country are gradually rising, and it begins to feel like a hot summer.

The first season of the animation of the same name, adapted from the game "Star Emperor" and produced by Xuanji Animation, has finally concluded.

This work was launched in January this year. According to the schedule of two episodes a week, it should have been completed in April.

However, due to the Spring Festival holiday and the Lantern Festival holiday, there was a break of two weeks, so it was not until May this year that all 24 episodes were aired.

The animation tells the passionate story of a young man named Ji with an ordinary background, possessing a rare starry sky body, who rises against the odds in a desperate situation, sweeps away the genius of the gods, and finally becomes the great emperor.

That's right!

The plot is mostly original...

There's nothing we can do if we don't create something original. The main plot of the "Star Emperor" game is really thin. If the animation production team doesn't create something original, there's really no way to make this animation.

However, although it is mostly original, the animation also respects the game plot, basic characters and story background, and does not change too much.

The first season only has 24 episodes.

In just 24 episodes, we will definitely not be able to complete the magnificent life of the Starry Sky Emperor. Even at the end of the first season, the Starry Sky Emperor had not even broken through to the realm of a saint...

Quite embarrassing!

In the game, the first scene of the main plot is that the Starry Sky Emperor breaks through to the saint realm, and then goes to the Star Holy Land for revenge, personally destroying the human holy land that has stood on Tianshu Star for hundreds of thousands of years.

As a result, when it came to the animated version, more than 20 episodes later, the protagonist Ji Xingkong had not yet broken through to the saint realm, leaving Chen Ba speechless.

certainly!

He was speechless, but he could actually understand the reason why the animation production team did this. After all, the plot of the game spans a long time. If the plot of the game is really followed, the finale will be announced in 12 episodes.

There should be more preparation in the early stage, especially the creation of the villain of the Star Holy Land, so that in the second season, the Starry Sky Emperor breaks through the saint realm and kills the Star Holy Land to have the flavor of revenge!

The plot is still very good.

Xuanji has really put a lot of effort into this animation, and all aspects of production and plot have reached the top level in the industry.

Ji Xingkong was born extraordinary.

When he was born, he was regarded as the hope for the family's revival. Unexpectedly, his astral body also brought disaster to the family.

With her family destroyed and her parents and relatives dying tragically in front of her, young Ji Xingkong felt the cruelty of the spiritual world in advance and determined to take revenge on the Holy Land of the Stars...

Later, he mistakenly entered the dojo of Emperor Changye, obtained the emperor's inheritance, and also met a gentle and playful confidante.

Then there is the story of you chasing me and running away, constantly working hard, and finally becoming a generation of genius, and the reputation spread throughout Tianshu Star.

“The animation score is quite high.”

Yang Dong asked curiously: "Based on the investment mentioned before, has this animation paid back?"

"No!"

Chen Ba shook his head.

How could such a large investment recoup the production cost so easily?

But this is not the point. Even if the money is not recovered, it will not affect the animation's continued production of a second or even third season.

Don't ask, just ask and you will be rich!

Tianba Studio has money, the graphics card manufacturer also has money, and everyone is not short of money. Naturally, they will not give up on this series easily and will definitely continue to work on it.

In the past few months since the animation was aired, "Star Emperor" has received a lot of popularity. From this perspective alone, the investment is not lost.

"Speaking of which..."

Yang Dong said with a smile: "Unconsciously, "Star Emperor" has become the top-ranked online game in the world."

"It really is!"

Xiao Lu was very surprised and said: "In terms of the number of people online at the same time, the ranking of "Star Emperor" is really not low. There are too many active players."

There is a concept involved here.

In most cases, there is a direct relationship between total registered players and active players, that is, the more registered players, the more active players.

But there are exceptions.

For example, for games like "Star Emperor", although the number of registered players has not exceeded 10 million, it still remains around a few million.

But whether it’s the number of people online or the number of active players, they are all comparable to those games with tens of millions of registered players, and the stickiness of one player is strong.

This is also related to the GAL League.

Who makes this event so popular? It has become the F1 of e-sports. With so much attention outside the field, it is difficult to think whether the game will be popular.

Speaking of the GAL League, Chen Ba suddenly sighed.

It’s about to become a gold and dollar league!

During this year's summer transfer period, someone has already offered a nine-digit transfer fee to Xu Xiaofei, who is currently playing for the Nvidia team.

Nine digits!

The transfer fee of over 100 million really shocked many people. Although it was a transfer fee and did not mean that the players would receive money, nine figures was still too outrageous.

"We really need to limit it..."

Chen Ba felt that if this barbaric development continued, there would probably be very few players left in the entire league.

Mainly because they are robbing people like this, how can those small manufacturers and clubs still play? Will they all become nourishment for the rich and powerful?

Moreover, for a new event to be so popular, it is not conducive to subsequent development. In the end, no one can continue to play, and only a piece of chicken feathers are left.

So there has to be a salary cap.

Without any restrictions, teams like AMD, Intel and NVIDIA can just kill other teams without any suspense.

Put a salary cap on them and strictly limit the so-called galactic battleships. In this way, the bottom teams will also have the opportunity to make an upset counterattack, and the league will be more exciting and exciting.

It’s hard to say how much the limit will be.

After all, GAL is not Chen Ba's boss. He has to bring the leaders of each team together and hold a meeting to discuss it before he can come up with the results.

besides.

The successful experience of the GAL League also gave Chen Ba the idea of ​​creating a competition system for "Speed".

"sure!"

Yang Dong is very supportive of Brother Ba, saying that this kind of online racing game can be turned into a competition.

However, the content of the competition must be carefully discussed. We cannot simply copy other people's experiences. We must also consider the actual game environment of "Speed".

"How about adding a car repair section?"

"It not only tests the players' driving skills, but also tests their maintenance skills!" Xiao Lu suggested.

"Repair the car?"

When Chen Ba heard this, he couldn't help but ask: "You mean, there is also car maintenance in the competition? Is this a separate event?"

"So be it."

"My idea is that the race process is very long and the track conditions are complex, requiring different modification strategies and timely maintenance."

Xiao Lu explained: "At this time, the competition will not only test driving skills, but also logistics support capabilities."

Having good driving skills definitely has great advantages.

But in addition to driving skills, the ability to repair and modify must also be strong. Otherwise, it will take others dozens of seconds to do it, and it will take you a few minutes to do it. Even good driving skills will not be able to close the gap.

"It sounds interesting..."

"Let's do this. I'll make an announcement first and hold an online match in online mode to see the response. If the players say it's acceptable, then we'll hold a big one."

What if the player thinks it’s not possible?

Then Chen Ba could only follow everyone's opinions, cancel the maintenance and modification part, and compete solely on speed and driving skills.

"Don't worry, it'll be no problem."

Xiao Lu said with confidence: "Brother Ba, you don't even know how crazy these players are now, and their enthusiasm for learning to repair cars is no worse than taking the postgraduate entrance examination."

The most outrageous thing is undoubtedly a player from Chengdu. After playing "Fast Rush" for about a month, he went from knowing nothing to making a small fortune, and even opened an offline car repair shop.

That's right!

This guy really used the technology he learned in the game, purchased a batch of equipment, opened a car repair shop and repaired cars in real life.

He is a true genius...

This kind of hands-on ability and learning ability are simply admirable.

He learned a craft even by playing a game, and he was self-taught without a teacher. Who would dare to believe it?

"With his three-legged cat skills, would anyone really go to him to repair their car?"

"Yes, I have!"

Chen Ba also heard about this player's deeds, so he introduced: "There was really no business in the first few days, and no one believed in him."

"But after he started doing it a few times, he found that he usually did simple repairs such as tire repairs or sheet metal repairs. He immediately gained confidence, and his business became more and more prosperous..."

He is really awesome!

Among the many players of "Speed", he is the only one who really takes action, and he is the only one who really learns something.

Others say that they have learned it, but they are mostly joking. If they are asked to remove a tire in reality, they may not be able to remove it...

But this guy said he learned it, and he really did! You already own a car repair shop, haven’t you learned how to do it?

"It's broken, he played the original version."

Chen Ba joked: "Others are here to play games, but he is better. He is here to further his studies, and he has really learned a craft that is enough to support his family."

Completely gifted.

"Fast" was sold to him for 178 yuan, just like "Love Counselor" was sold to Zhang Pengfei for 68 yuan. It was really a big loss.

"By the way, Brother Ba..."

Speaking of the fact that this player learned to repair cars through "Speed" and even opened a car repair shop, Xiao Lu seemed to have thought of something.

He opened PILIPILI, found a video from his favorites, and played it to Chen Ba on his mobile phone.

Chen Ba stared at the screen.

This is a video of a certain game UP owner teaming up with hundreds of players to evaluate vehicles on sale.

In the video, the UP owner recruited hundreds of players to cooperate with him, used about 100 vehicles of the same level and price, and conducted multiple tests in "Speed".

There is a lot to test.

Some vehicles pass the shock absorption test on potholed roads, some vehicles are tested on getting out of trouble on muddy roads, and there are also 100-kilometer acceleration, braking distance, elk tests and the most thrilling crash tests.

"It's just a trick, don't take it seriously!"

The UP owner is very afraid of being led by others, and repeatedly emphasizes that he is just doing the whole job. This is not a serious test, so don't take it seriously.

The video is also submitted to the game area instead of the car area, which shows that the UP owner himself does not think this thing is very reliable, and the whole thing is to cheat some views and coins.

The testing process is quite rigorous.

However, there were still frequent jokes during the process. For example, during the test of a car of a certain brand, the rear axle trailing arm suddenly broke.

At that time, the UP owner also emphasized that it was an accident.

So he arranged for another model of the same model to be tested, and the result was the same. During the test, the axle broke.

The owner of UP panicked and quickly changed the car for the third round of testing. As a result, both axles broke again...

"Haha, a warning from the lawyer!"

"Are you sweating profusely, brother? Why are you sweating profusely while playing a game?"

"Brother Ba, don't even think about running away! The lawyer's letter sent by the manufacturer, one for UP owner and one for Brother Ba, is indispensable for everyone..."

"It's so funny! Three cars in a row are like this. Could it be that Brother Ba did something behind the screen?"

Why is it so hot?

Obviously the air conditioning was turned on in the studio, and the temperature was a very comfortable 24 degrees, but at this moment, sweat broke out on Chen Ba's forehead.

What's going on?

You can't mess with black people's homes! What if the manufacturer finds out and thinks it is Tianba Studio with bad intentions and deliberately embarrassing it?

It feels numb...

Not only the UP host who made the video panicked, but also Chen Ba, who saw this video, was sweating.

After all, "Fast Rush" is a game, and it is a game produced by Tianba Studio.

As a result, in the game, this model has major problems, so what will other car manufacturers think? Do you think Tianba Studio is deliberately trying to smear it?

"Hurry up and ask him to take the video off the shelves and delete this section and repost it!"

Chen Ba didn't want to take the blame for this, mainly because it had nothing to do with him. It was obviously the fault of the UP owner himself, so why should he be implicated?

He was no longer interested in watching the subsequent tests. All he could think about was, why is this happening?

Just as he was thinking wildly, the video also entered the thrilling crash test session, and something went wrong again.

During the testing process of a model, the results were poor or even terrible, and the barrage brought up the previous words again.

At this time, the UP owner was really stunned, and quickly emphasized again: "It is purely a manipulation and has no reference value. Do not take it seriously!"

"This is just a game. If you have any problems, go to Brother Ba. It has nothing to do with me! As you all can see, I'm just playing the game normally!"

Chen Ba: "..."

OK OK!

This just puts the blame on him, right? This UP owner is such a dog! It was obviously his fault, but you want him to take the blame?

I can’t carry this pot...

It's okay if the manufacturer doesn't hold them accountable. If they do, not only will this video be removed from the shelves, but "Speed" won't be able to get it either.

Chen Ba just hopes that everyone will take this as a joke and not go online and mistakenly take the test results in the game seriously.

But this is obviously impossible.

Since Xiao Lu showed him this video, it means that the content of the video has been widely spread, and the number of views of more than three million is enough to prove everything.

"It's just a game."

Xiao Lu said with a smile: "Brother Ba, don't think so much. How can anyone take what happens in the game seriously?"

Isn’t it true that some people think that this UP master’s work is of great reference value? Who would choose a car based on a game?
