Chapter 265: This shot opened up the e-sports industry
Brain vision!
Hearing this word, Chen Lin was completely stunned.
He knew that the country had been increasing its investment in the science and technology industry recently, but he did not expect it to have reached this point.
And judging from the situation, there has probably been a breakthrough already, otherwise this project would not have been released.
Single brain vision is nothing.
But when combined with virtual reality and perceptual interaction, it’s completely different.
Once developed.
It will definitely have a huge impact on the gaming and film and television industries.
As if sensing his shock, Professor Liu continued, "In fact, I have only come into contact with some peripheral projects. The technology is not yet very mature. It will probably take at least ten or eight years to develop it, or even longer."
Chen Lin: …
"Then why are you trying to cheat me out of money?"
"Bah, we both agreed, how can this be called a scam? At worst, I can just put my name on your studio, right?"
"Just in name only? That's what you said." Chen Lin's eyes lit up.
Although Old Liu is not very reliable, he is a real professor and has a high reputation in the academic world.
With his name on the project, it is definitely a sure win for their Honghuang Studio.
Plus first-hand information on the country’s scientific research direction.
The 50 million was well spent!
"By the way, I'm going to hold a project meeting later. Do you want to go with me?" Liu Heng asked.
"Forget it." Chen Lin shook his head. "I'm very busy right now. I just happened to see your message and took the time to come back. Please say hello to them for me."
During his college years, he was completely focused on studying and researching games and had no time to spend with other students, so he was not very familiar with them.
"You kid, you are just too aloof. How about I introduce you to a girl, I guarantee she's pretty!" Liu Heng said with a wink.
Chen Lin had a strange expression on his face: "That girl you're talking about...could it be your little daughter?"
puff!
The sound of water spraying was heard again.
Several instructors nearby started coughing violently.
Good job.
This old Liu is planning to sell his daughter .
As long as I marry my daughter to him, there will be a steady stream of research funds, right?
The abacus beads were about to hit my face.
"hey-hey."
His little trick was exposed, and Liu Heng smiled awkwardly: "Isn't 16 a little too early?"
Oh shit!
Beast!
Even 16-year-olds are not spared!
Not to mention the tutors, even the old professors in the distance couldn't stand it .
If his daughter hadn't been married a long time ago, he probably would have been unable to resist and stood up. How could this rough Liu have had any chance?
Feeling their strange looks, Liu Heng said angrily, "Okay, okay, forget it if it doesn't work. I have to go to a meeting. Chen Lin, do you want to stay and have lunch with me?"
"No, I have something else to do. Just remember to come and give me art guidance when you are free."
Chen Lin’s head is so small that it’s impossible for him to remember all the details of the game.
Therefore, a professional art director is still very necessary, so that omissions can be made up and there will be no sudden changes in painting style.
Now it's done.
Naturally, he didn't stay any longer, so he said goodbye to his mentor and left.
As for Professor Liu Heng, he returned to his usual appearance, picked up the project plan and walked towards the teaching building on the other side.
On the way, they happened to meet Yang Long and Wang Yuan who were rushing over.
"Hello, Professor Liu!"
Even though he had already started his own company and became a boss, when Yang Long and Wang Yuan saw Liu Heng again, they were still frightened by his intimidating look.
no way.
When they were in school, they were often scolded by the man in front of them, and the scolding was really terrible.
It's good enough to be able to stand well.
"So it's you guys, let's go together."
Liu Heng didn't say much, but walked straight towards the classroom, humming a little tune.
The two people behind looked at each other.
This is the first time I see Professor Liu so friendly.
Could it be that something happy happened?
With doubts, they quickly followed and did not notice the figure that just disappeared in the corridor at the other end.
…
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month had passed.
During these ten days, the momentum of the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds competition has been unprecedented, sparking countless discussions online.
Especially the prize money of tens of millions.
It has become the focus of attention of countless players, and its popularity continues to soar.
final.
Teams from all over the world gathered at the Binhai Market Pavilion for the final battle.
Millions of viewers gathered in the live broadcast room to witness this epic battle and cheer for the Chinese team.
The huge momentum shocked all major manufacturers. They had never expected that a gaming event would attract so much attention, and they regretted not getting the advertising sponsorship earlier.
And this enthusiasm reached its peak in the last game, when China played against South Korea!
“Go, go, go! This is the last wave!”
"The poison circle is starting to shrink, you must hold on!"
"There's a sniper rifle on the other side, we must find a way to take it down."
"Both sides are too strong. The tactics took so long and gave them no chance at all."
"We are only one point away from winning the world championship. Go for it!"
"Oh my god , this makes my blood boil!"
"Knock out the Korean team!"
"It's coming, the final shrinking circle!"
At this moment, in the live broadcast room, barrage of comments emerged like a tide.
Everyone at the scene stood up and clenched their fists.
At this moment.
All eyes were focused on the only two teams left on the field, and everyone held their breath.
The poison circle on the field also shrank to its extreme, leaving only a tiny area on the undulating hillside.
“Let’s fight!”
The Chinese team shouted loudly, and two figures suddenly rushed out, threw smoke bombs, and fired at the opponent's hiding place to suppress the fire.
But unexpectedly.
The sniper on the opposite side had been waiting for a long time.
There was a loud bang of a gunshot, and one of them was shot in the head.
In an instant, the situation changed drastically, making the audience's hearts skip a beat.
But at this moment, divine soldiers descended from the sky.
A figure actually entered the poison circle, went around behind the enemy, and rushed out brazenly.
In a chaotic fight where they were attacked from both sides, they finally suppressed the enemy completely and shot the sniper's head open with one shot.
【Good luck, eat chicken tonight! 】
【Team ranking: 1st place】
Winner!
The Chinese team won!
There was a moment of silence during the live broadcast, and then suddenly there was a torrent of cheers.
The contestants stood up excitedly and hugged each other with great enthusiasm.
At this moment, the name of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" resounded throughout the entire Internet and became the focus of everyone's attention.
Especially the last shot, which boosted the momentum of domestic e-sports and created a new era for players!
Amid the cheers, the championship team was invited to the front of the stage, background music started playing, and countless ribbons fell from the sky.
Honghuang's operations director, Lao Song, came forward with the trophy and gold medal and presented them to them personally.
at last.
It was the eye-catching plaque of the 10 million grand prize that was held high above the heads of the four members of the team, causing another round of cheers.
Until the closing ceremony.
The audience was still discussing this competition and the game "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" enthusiastically.
…
"Mr. Chen, it's up! Sales are starting to increase again!"
In the Honghuang studio, Lao Li hurried into the office, gasping for breath.
“How many sales are there now?”
Chen Lin was also following the live broadcast of the game, so he naturally knew which game he was talking about.
What he didn't expect was the sales data this time.
"8 million! Sales have exceeded 8 million!" Lao Li said excitedly.
"It's already 8 million so quickly?" Chen Lin was stunned.
You should know that the sales of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" in the first month after it became popular was only 5 million.
This alone has dominated the top three sales charts for several months.
But on their side, it is 3 million higher.
It seems that the decision to invest a lot of money to hold the competition was right.
If nothing unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that this game will reach the tens of millions level.
Including "Monster Hunter" which just broke 10 million sales, he now has 3 games with sales of over 10 million.
"It's a pity that the price was only 98 at the time. If it was 198, I would have made a lot of money."
Old Li smacked his lips and said greedily.
Chen Lin glanced at him and said, "This game doesn't cost much to make. If it's sold at such a high price, it won't even sell for 4 million, let alone 8 million."
"Hey, I just speak out of my feelings."
Old Li scratched his head. He knew very well that the most important thing for a game like this was the player base, and a price that was too high would be disadvantageous.
And even if they only sold it for 98, they still made almost 500 million.
Earning 500 million yuan a month is a considerable amount of money for other large companies, and can be used to develop new 3A masterpieces.
"Okay, now that the player base has stabilized, go inform the online game team and have them officially start operations. Don't fall behind in the development of subsequent maps either."
"Okay."
Old Li responded and turned and left.
Now is the time when "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is at its peak, so they certainly cannot waste the popularity that they have worked so hard to build up.
As for other competing products, there is no need to worry.
By the time those manufacturers are ready to launch, they will have already secured their position as the leader in the battle royale market.
"Well, it's time to think about new projects."
Seeing Lao Li leaving, Chen Lin gathered his thoughts and clicked on the plan he had made before to check it out.
Others may not know, but he knows that there is still a huge room for exploration in the battle royale gameplay, and it does not necessarily have to be bound to gun shooting.
For example, the once popular Naraka: Bladepoint, Auto Chess, Fall Guys, Animal Party, Battle of Balls…
These are all derivatives of the Battle Royale gameplay.
But many of them are based on previous works.
Plus, they just released a battle royale game, and it would be difficult for them to release another one in a short period of time, so this category is not considered for the time being.
Moreover, they had just finished producing a medium-to-large game, so it was not appropriate for them to start working on the next big thing right away.
Because even if they could do it.
Players’ wallets can’t take it either.
"So, let's change the taste this time and do something different?"
Chen Lin made a decision immediately and started searching through a pile of plans.
But after searching for a long time, he still didn't find anything that satisfied him.
The main reason is that there have been too many things going on recently and he has no time to think about the plan.
Finally, I had to get up and leave the office to look for inspiration outside.
