Chapter 313
The establishment of the SAL Secondary League is undoubtedly good news for many companies and clubs eager to enter the GAL stage.
Although the GAL League official has not opened new GAL league seats, it has only opened registration application channels for the SAL secondary league.
But...
According to the official announcement from the league, teams that perform well in the SAL secondary league, such as the champions and runners-up, are likely to enter the GAL Golden League as "promoted teams" in the future.
in other words.
The establishment of the SAL Secondary League is actually a direct channel to the GAL Golden League. The premise is to first get through the SAL Secondary League and win the championship and runner-up.
As a result, many interested companies that received the news have set up special e-sports divisions, formed "Star Emperor 2" competition teams, and signed up to participate in the SAL League in the new year.
These include the "Phantom Club" established by China Mirage Electronics, the "Godong Club" established by Beijing Goudong, and the "TSL Club" privately invested by Lao Ma across the ocean.
It's coming with force!
The luxurious lineup of the SAL Secondary League is not inferior to that of the GAL Golden League. From a certain perspective, some clubs in the SAL Secondary League may be stronger than the middle and upper reaches of the GAL.
As if smelling a hint of danger, the teams in the GAL League have also announced that they will invest heavily next year in order to deal with the oncoming challengers.
At least keep a GAL seat, right?
As a top league team, it was a bit embarrassing to be relegated just after promotion and relegation was opened. No one wants to be the first GAL team to be relegated.
Teams that perform poorly will no longer perform poorly. After all, if they continue to perform poorly, they may lose their seats in the GAL League.
Several bad teams, headed by Qi Meng Hong, have gone all out to recruit people, striving to keep their GAL quota in the new season.
"Next year's competition will be great!" Chen Ba smiled.
The bad teams were frightened by his move, and they increased their investment to improve their competitiveness. The chain reaction of this was that competition in the league intensified, and the excitement of the games increased a lot.
In the past, when top teams played against bad teams, such as games like Nvidia vs. Miserable Rainbow, the audience had no interest in watching them, because even with their eyes closed they knew who was losing and who was winning.
If you tie the hands and feet of Nvidia's players, you won't be able to win. After all, the gap in hardware strength lies here...
It’s hard to say after that.
After all, there is a risk of relegation, and the teams in the middle and lower reaches will definitely try their best to keep their spots. In this case, even if there is a huge gap in hardware configuration, some new tactics or arrangements may be developed.
If the top teams don't pay attention and think they can kill the lower-tier teams just by relying on their hardware configuration, then they may really overturn.
“This is the catfish effect.”
Huang Qing also showed a smile and said: "There are indeed too many bad teams in GAL. If we don't give them a little stimulation, if they continue to be so bad, the ratings will definitely slowly decline."
The GAL league is very cruel.
Because hardware configuration determines many things, and powerful hardware configuration comes from the technical strength and reserves of each manufacturer.
Therefore, mid- and lower-tier teams that lack corresponding technologies have chosen to fail. The favorites to win the championship every year are always the top giants Nvidia, AMD and Intel.
It will definitely not work in the long run.
Therefore, it is necessary to introduce new catfish and stimulate the fighting spirit of these bad teams, so as to boost the ratings.
"correct!"
Speaking of ratings, Huang Qing said thoughtfully: "The movie adaptation of "Global Evolution" with the same name will be released soon. The producers hope that you can cooperate with them in promoting it."
"Global evolution?"
Chen Ba was startled and remembered.
It seems that a film company from Beijing took a fancy to the plot and popularity of the domestic AAA game "Global Evolution" and wanted to adapt it into a movie.
Because the other party gave too much, Chen Ba agreed without thinking.
honestly.
He doesn't really care what the movie turns out to be. After all, he has already received the money. What does it have to do with him if the movie turns into a pile of shit, comparable to "fighting spirit turning into a horse"?
But after all, with the name "Global Evolution" attached to it, Chen Ba was still very interested in the movie and wanted to see how the screenwriter adapted it.
Is there such a thing as "fighting spirit turning into a horse" that is outrageous?
"It's okay for me to cooperate with the publicity, but I have a condition." Chen Ba raised his right index finger and grinned, "You have to pay more!"
If you don’t give me money, who will help you?
Of course, if the other party is willing to spend money, let's talk about it separately. If the money is enough, even if the movie is really a piece of shit, Chen Ba can shamelessly tout it as "the best game adaptation in history".
There is no moral integrity like this.
Anyway, this is what everyone does these days, including car critics, film critics, digital technology bloggers, game bloggers, beauty bloggers, etc. Chen Ba doesn’t think that doing so will cause public outrage.
"Okay, I'll go tell them right now. You may have to go to the movie premiere, and you have to cooperate with the crew in promoting it."
"It's okay, I have time!"
Chen Ba raised his eyebrows and suddenly asked: "If I remember correctly, this company seems to have bought the rights to adapt "The Ancestor Tree", right?"
"Ah yes, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious, why don't they make a movie called "The Ancestor Tree" to test the waters first?"
Chen Ba couldn't understand it.
How simple and clear is the plot of "The Ancestor Tree"? It is estimated that the cost of making a movie will not be much, so it is perfect to test the waters.
On the contrary, "Global Evolution" is a standard AAA game with a grand background and world view, many characters, and many special effects scenes. The production cost is simply not of the same level.
If you start "Global Evolution" right from the start, will you really not overturn it?
"well enough!"
Huang Qing thought for a while and gave his own opinion: "As far as I know, their plan is to split the game plot of "Global Evolution" into a trilogy, which will be filmed and released in sequence."
"The first one didn't have so many special effects scenes, and the other party is also very strong. It has participated in the production and investment of many domestic science fiction blockbusters, so it should be confident in this aspect."
Split into a trilogy?
That's okay, at least not too much of the plot will be deleted. After all, it is too difficult to tell the entire plot of "Global Evolution" in the length of a movie.
Thinking of this, Chen Ba suddenly felt relieved.
The planning of the trilogy and the strong strength of the other party may not mean much, but they are enough to ensure that the lower limit of the film will not be very low.
That’s worth a look!
Counting the days, it wasn't long before the movie was released. Chen Ba was thinking about whether to invite Wang Ya to the premiere when he suddenly thought of something.
In the game "Global Evolution", the protagonist of the plot is Chen Yun, but due to game bugs, in the end the protagonist's presence is not as important as that of his sister Chen Jia.
If it was adapted into a movie, would the protagonist be Chen Yun or Chen Jia?
It would be okay if it was Chen Yun. After all, Chen Yun's plot is not that difficult to tell the truth, and there would be no problem watching it as a movie.
But if the protagonist is Chen Jia, that would be a bad thing...
Let’s not talk about Chen Jia being the protagonist, which means that the plot deviation caused by the game bug becomes the main plot. Let’s just say that the screenwriter will not include the “players vs. NPC” part of the plot of Chen Jia. ?
