Chapter 279 Divine Grace Animation Contest!

Dark Duel is popular!

At the beginning, when discussions about Dark Duel circulated in the community and on the Internet, most netizens had a feeling of "dead memories suddenly attacked me."

Dark duel? Isn’t that the setting of the classic “Yu-Gi-Oh! DM”!

Hi, I know this!

The so-called dark duel is... wait a minute! You said that this dark duel is not that dark duel. This has nothing to do with Yu-Gi-Oh, and it has nothing to do with Pharaoh?

So what do you mean by this dark duel? It's just a game of "Star Emperor 2", why does it have anything to do with darkness?

After some understanding, netizens widened their eyes, saying that your duel is indeed dark.

In the world view of "Yu-Gi-Oh!", those who lose the dark duel will have their souls devoured, which is equivalent to a life-and-death battle. Because of this, this duel is called the Dark Duel.

The dark duel in "Star Emperor 2" obviously did not reach the height of "staking one's soul and life", but...

Think about it from another angle, although losing this duel will not cost your life, and your soul will not be locked up in a dark room, but the price of burning my motherboard, destroying my graphics card and blowing up my console is also unforgivable!

"Please! If it is simply a heavy price, does it deserve to be called a dark duel? The true meaning of a dark duel is that once a duel is initiated, one cannot refuse it!"

"Sad! I didn't expect to play a game and have to be on tenterhooks, for fear of being spotted by bad guys in the dark and launching a dark duel..."

"It's so funny! Isn't this because you are not strong enough? If you use the ROG bucket like me, do you still need to be afraid of the dark duel?"

"That makes sense, but let's forget about it as a prodigal country. The price/performance ratio is too low..."

"But what does this have to do with me? Even if there is no dark duel, can I conquer the road to immortality?"

"Young man, I watched the sky at night and found that you have the qualifications of an Immortal Emperor. You might as well become my disciple. You will shine for eternity in the future!"

"Oh! Senior is from..."

"I come from the Refusal Holy Land, and I am the Great Sage Demon Eagle, one of the guardians of the Holy Son of the Great Eagle!"

"The Great Sage Demon Eagle dares to mislead his disciples. Your saint's face has been swollen by the shrunken saint's super dragon. You'd better worship me in the Colorful Holy Land. My saint has a rare fire god body in ancient and modern times..."

A good popular science post, but I don’t know where to start from, and it has become a stage for a big fight between fans of various manufacturers.

This made Chen Ba in front of the screen twitch his mouth.

He turned to look at Yang Dong and couldn't help but complain: "When did the community become like this?"

"If you're talking about their chat style, it's been a while."

Yang Dong thought for a while and then explained: "Probably when the Tianba community was revised and the "Star Emperor" discussion section was renamed "Digital Technology", these people became like this. "

As we all know, the story of "Star Emperor" takes place on Tianshu Planet.

Tianshu Star is a dazzling ancient cultivation star in the starry sky. Because many great emperors and supreme beings have walked out of it, there are many immortal gates in the holy land, and the practice of cultivation is prevalent.

Since there are so many sect holy places in Tianshu Star, players will naturally choose one of them to join and cheer for the genius son of their own camp.

Among them, the Holy Sons of the Holy Land, such as the Raptor, the Super Dragon, the Great Eagle, and the God of Vulcan, have noble births and extremely high qualifications. They are naturally the most dazzling stars in this golden age. It is reasonable for players to cheer for them.

"Of course, the prosperity of a sect cannot be determined solely by whether the Holy Son is powerful or not. The Holy Lady is also the focus of the majority of monks' attention."

"Take the Shrinking Holy Land as an example. Their Holy Maiden Demon Dragon is very popular, even more popular than the Holy Son Super Dragon. Her goddess appearance is admired by many monks."

Chen Ba: "..."

OK OK!

You can still play like this, right?

A few broken graphics cards, so many tricks, the saints and saints came. And who came up with the names of shrinking the Holy Land and refusing to protect the Holy Land?

According to the background setting, the so-called Holy Land-level Immortal Tradition must have one or two Supreme Emperors to be worthy of such a big name, right?

So... in this system of jokes, are there still so-called emperors who refuse to protect and emperors who shrink?

"Yes, yes!"

Yang Dong nodded and said: "Don't mention it, there are really the so-called Refusal Emperor and the Shrinking Emperor. Moreover, these emperors also have exclusive fan art. For example, the Shrinking Emperor is a red dragon, and the Refusal Emperor is a red dragon. Eagle..."

Chen Ba was silent.

Although he had overestimated the degree of trolling by netizens as much as possible, he never expected that netizens would actually troll to this extent.

Are all the fanarts done?

He searched the community and found that Yang Dong was not bragging. There were real fan pictures, not just fan pictures, but also fan literature and fan peripherals...

This isn’t even the most abstract!

The most abstract thing is that these silly background settings are actually taken seriously by many newcomers, who really think that there are so-called "holy places for beating people" and "holy places for refusing to defend" in the game.

It can only be said that apart from the unreliable names of each holy place, the settings of the saints and saints made by the players are too real.

For example, the Holy Son Vulcan of the Colorful Holy Land is named after his unique "Vulcan Body". He is indistinguishable from the raptors, super dragons and other geniuses. Many senior experts praised him for his qualifications as a great emperor...

Take a look, how bluffing is this?

If you are a pure newbie who is not familiar with the digital world and does not know what these terms mean, you may really believe it and think that this is the background setting in the game.

If you still don't believe it based on the verbal description, then use fan art and fan fiction to make you slowly believe that this is true. These characters really exist in the game "Star Emperor".

"Too abstract!"

Chen Ba shook his head and could only attribute it to the popularity of the GAL League, which led to such chaos in the community.

"There is indeed a reason for this. Every team in the GAL League has a large number of fans. It is not surprising that they would quarrel."

When Yang Dong said this, he seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said: "By the way, when it comes to the GAL League, I suddenly remembered something..."

More than three years have passed since the game "God's Grace Continent" was released.

During this period, Shen'en Animation developed rapidly and became a new star in the animation market in the past two years, occupying a considerable market share and leveraging a huge market scale of tens of billions.

Shen'en animators are also springing up one after another, and batch after batch of high-quality Shen'en animations are also meeting the audience one after another.

Based on this premise, the Shen'en Animation Association, the industry association of which Chen Ba is the nominal president, invites domestic and foreign Shen'en animation producers to jointly organize the so-called "First Shen'en Animation Production Competition".

"I know this……"

Although Chen Ba doesn't care about anything, he is the nominal president of the Shen'en Animation Association. The secretary-general has already sent the proposal to his mailbox.

This matter was promoted and organized only with his signature and approval.

"Then the event organizing committee invited people from our company to serve as judges, do you also know?"

"Judges?"

Hearing this, Chen Ba was stunned at first, because he really didn't know about this matter. After all, he is only responsible for signing, and the specific execution is carried out by the vice president, secretary general and others.

But then he thought about it and realized that it was almost inevitable for this competition to invite representatives from Tianba Studio to serve as judges.

This is the Divine Grace Animation Contest, not any other contest!

Since it is the Divine Grace Animation Competition, it is only reasonable to invite a representative from Tianba Studio to serve as a judge. Otherwise, without the participation of Tianba Studio, the fairness and authority of the competition will be questionable.

To put it harshly...

This is just like inviting Da Liu to be a judge in the "Three-Body" fan creation contest. If you don't invite Da Liu to come, then what's the point of your contest? Without Liu in charge, is there really any authority at all?

The same is true for the first Shen'en Animation Production Competition. The organizing committee must invite Tianba Studio. If Tianba Studio is not present, the other judges, no matter how big-name or professional they are, will appear to be of a low-level competition.

"If someone invites you, just go!"

"But...who to send?"

Yang Dong has a headache. Tianba Studio has no more suitable candidate besides Brother Ba.

As the president of the Shen'en Animation Association, Brother Keba is also the award guest and the person in charge of the organizer of this competition. He will definitely not be able to go and will have to choose another candidate.

"Zhong Shengwei is quite suitable."

Chen Ba gave his pick: "He helped perfect many details of "The Continent of God's Grace", so there is no problem in sending him as a judge."

"That's true!"

Yang Dong nodded when he heard this. On the premise of excluding Brother Ba, Zhong Shengwei was indeed the only one in the entire studio who was more suitable to be a judge.

no way!

Who makes him one of the few core production staff in the entire studio who understands the game "God's Grace Continent" besides Brother Ba?

Speaking of the Shen’en Animation Competition, the organizer’s request to Tianba Studio was not just to appoint a judge, but also to issue bonus sponsorship.

"Sponsorship is available!"

Chen Ba explained: "Although this competition has little to do with us, the Shen'en Animation Association has a lot to do with us, and the most important thing is that it will be good for us to hold this competition well."

The benefits are not small!

Trivia: Tianba Studio’s revenue has never changed so far, and the toll collected by “God’s Grace Continent” has always occupied the top spot.

For every commercial divine animation work produced, Tianba Studio will charge a certain percentage of the share.

At first glance, this doesn’t look like much money!

But the value of this thing is about the same as Apple’s app store. Looking at one or two software alone, they are really not worth mentioning. But if there are thousands of software on the platform, and a little adds up, then it is not a simple number.

The same is true for "God's Grace Continent" under Tianba Studio.

The revenue share from a certain Shen'en animation alone is really not much. Unless it is a popular and popular work, the money you get is just for fun.

However, there are so many divine grace animations!

And no matter the quantity, the output is amazing! According to statistics from an authoritative organization, on average, thousands of divine animations are produced every day, and there are hundreds of thousands of works in a year...

With such a huge base, even if a work can only get one yuan, it is enough for Chen Ba to buy a three-bedroom house in a relatively remote third- and fourth-tier city.

Not to mention, the actual money received is far more than one or two yuan...

Trivia!

The biggest difference between Shen'en animation and traditional animation works is its "low cost". How low is it? It’s so low that as long as your animation can be broadcast on a platform, it will be difficult to lose money.

The cost is ridiculously low, and there are naturally very few works that lose money. Tianba Studio's "toll" standards are set very low, so the money obtained is naturally quite a lot.

But then again.

It has been in operation for so long, and the so-called Shenen Animation Association has been established. Chen Ba can finally understand it.

Relying on the share of ordinary divine grace animations can only be a guaranteed salary. If you want to really make big money, or achieve higher profits in this regard, you still have to rely on those popular works.

"Indeed!"

Yang Dong strongly agreed: "One hundred mediocre Divine Grace animations, in terms of value alone, add up to less than one popular Divine Grace animation."

We’ve already passed that stage!

In the beginning, when Shen’en Animation was first born, the audience welcomed all comers and enjoyed watching Shen’en Animation. After all, quality was not a concern at that time, and fast updates were king.

But this is no longer the case.

The current animation market is not doing well, and the quality is slightly worse. For cartoons that could have been broadcast on stars five or six years ago, the online platforms have refused to accept them in the past two years, thinking that you are too rubbish and will only pollute their Copyright library.

The incentive for involution is naturally the rise and popularity of Shen En animation.

Shen'en Animation is simply a disaster in the animation industry. Either join if you can't beat it, or work hard to polish better works and defeat Shen'en Animation's "large quantity and full control" with absolute quality.

Obviously, the traditional animation industry has been pushed too hard and has to concentrate on improving the quality of its works. It is becoming increasingly difficult for junk animation to survive.

Even traditional animation is seeking changes, and Shen En Animation is no exception.

The pursuit of higher quality, better plots, and better production is also the common pursuit of all Shenen animators. They have great ambitions. They not only want to maintain the characteristics of large quantities but also pursue the high quality of traditional animation.

This is just like an online novel, writing a work on the level of the four major classics.

Sound unrealistic?

That's right! But this does not prevent everyone from working hard in this area and spawning more popular animations. With the development of the times, it is not impossible for Shen'en Animation to produce classics like "Tom and Jerry" in the future.

This is also the main reason why Chen Ba supports the holding of the "God's Grace Animation Contest".

Shen'en Animation can't always follow the low-quality route. They can't see the future. They have to try hard. They don't want to reach the heights of "Tom and Jerry". At least they have to have their own Calabash Baby and Black Cat Sheriff, right?

It is also commonly known as a classic masterpiece!

Today's Shen'en animation is better than anything else, and has almost a crushing advantage over traditional animation. However, when it comes to "classic masterpieces", everyone is silent.

The foundation is still too shallow, lacking a certain foundation and accumulation, and there are no outstanding producers and works...
