Chapter 276 Your Name is Azeroth
"Haha, the main actor is indeed Brother Da Hammer."
"Another day of persecuting Big Hammer."
"It's so funny. I'm trying to take advantage of Brother Dachui."
"Honghuang doesn't have money to hire actors again, right?"
"Too bad for this production director."
The familiar list of leading actors made the audience laugh uncontrollably.
Just as they expected, Director Honghuang's name appeared in the list of leading actors, and it was accompanied by that one-inch photo of the bald head.
If there is such an award as “Most Persecuted Award” in the country.
It must be Brother Da Hammer.
This Honghuang boss is too devilish.
"Don't tell me, if Brother Dachui leaves Honghuang now to join the entertainment industry, he will be a first-line movie star or a popular veteran."
One player held his stomach and laughed so hard that tears almost came out.
Director of a gaming company.
He became a star by shooting CG.
It's just outrageous.
Even some actors who want to be famous but can't are so envious when they see the news.
They worked their butts off, filming movies and TV series, participating in entertainment variety shows, and getting involved in gossip and scandals. They tried everything, but they were still no match for an amateur game production director!
Is there any justice in the world?
Is there still any law?
What makes them vomit blood is even more.
Less than two hours after the news was released, online discussions soared and it directly entered the bottom of the top ten trending searches.
#The most miserable production director in the prehistoric times#
although.
This trending search only stayed in the top ten for half an hour.
But it attracted a lot of attention.
Major companies have also smelled something unusual.
…
"It seems that we still underestimated the gaming industry's ability to create stars. A mere game trailer could push an outsider to this level of popularity."
Tianyu headquarters, conference room.
A group of senior executives gathered together to discuss this matter.
At the beginning, they offended many game manufacturers because of the backlash from fans and were forced to remove their actors.
Now a game director who performs part-time jobs.
Thanks to the promotion of the game trailer, the popularity was so high that it was simply astonishing to them.
Although they have been trying to cooperate with game companies in the past two years, they have achieved little success and have not yet grasped the key.
"Is it possible that this situation only occurs because the prehistoric world is special?" one of them speculated.
"No, since Hong Huang was able to succeed, there must be a way to do it, but we just haven't discovered it yet."
"Given the relationship between Honghuang and us, it may not be easy to cooperate..."
"In that case, why don't we find other companies that are larger than Honghuang to cooperate with? I heard that Manager Sun seems to have reached an agreement with Penguin to shoot a special effects movie of "Swordsman"?"
As he spoke, everyone's eyes were focused on a gentle man wearing glasses.
"Yes, that's true."
Manager Sun nodded and said calmly, "Last year, Jiangcheng Entertainment relied on the movie Westworld to successfully make Anna a first-tier star, so I contacted Penguin very early and was also prepared to give a few of the company's second-tier stars a try."
"Are you sure?" the chairman asked slowly.
"have!"
Manager Sun replied affirmatively: "Anna's success is mainly due to the popularity of the game. Penguin has invested a lot in the promotion of "Swordsman". As long as we shoot a promotional movie according to Honghuang's method, it will definitely become a hit!"
Obviously.
They want to replicate the CG style of the prehistoric game.
Create stars through the current boom in the gaming industry!
after all.
There was Anna’s previous experience.
Now the production director of Honghuang has unexpectedly become popular.
This is enough to prove that this path is feasible.
The reason why Honghuang is so successful.
It's just that I discovered this road ahead of others.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you to handle. There must not be any mistakes."
"clear!"
Manager Sun sat up straight with a confident look on his face.
After the meeting.
He hurriedly got up and left.
Go and ask about the filming situation at the penguin side.
Then not long after, Penguin Games officially released a new game announcement.
The special effects movie linked with "Swordsman" will be released on Penguin Pictures tomorrow. I wish the game's public beta a success.
For this purpose, two popular young actors, a man and a woman, were invited to star in the film, and they wore ancient costumes to shoot a promotional poster.
As soon as this news came out.
Fans of the two stars suddenly went crazy.
I started shipping the two of them.
The popularity is in no way inferior to the upcoming movie of the same name.
"Strange things happen every year, but this year there are especially many."
"Penguin is actually learning from Honghuang to make CG movies?"
"Wow, they invited two celebrities at once."
"As expected, he is rich and powerful."
“I don’t know how it’s going to turn out.”
The appearance of the Penguin New Game and the movie linkage immediately attracted the attention of many netizens, and they were discussing it in the comment section below.
only.
Different from those crazy star fans.
The player group was relatively rational. They did not look at the film differently because it was produced by a big company like Penguin. Instead, they looked weird.
"It's so funny. They don't think we watch CG movies to see celebrities fall in love, do they?"
"Don't you do any market research before shooting a promotional video?"
"Survey: Go to the train and ask people if they have bought tickets."
"There are two kinds of movies in this world, one is the primitive movie, and the other is the other movie."
"I'm here to watch the Honghuang live."
"Life +1"
Who among the serious gamers would watch movies adapted from games?
Wouldn’t it be nice to just jump into the game and play?
Manufacturers have dominated the market for too long, making them think that they can arbitrarily control players' preferences.
Little did they know.
That's because players have no choice.
Today, the gaming industry is thriving and there are all kinds of games, which allows them to gradually regain the right to make their own choices.
Yes.
Since you want to feed me shit.
Then I can just throw it away and eat normal food.
This is the fundamental contradiction between players and manufacturers.
It is precisely because Honghuang focuses on player experience and brings them fun that it has received such strong support from them.
As for those previous tricks of deceiving people, just get as far away from them as possible.
After figuring this out.
The players also evacuated.
Let’s go back and discuss Honghuang’s games and CG.
"Brothers, I've already done some research. It's a drama about two young handsome guys. If you like slow-motion spinning and landing, you can go watch it."
In a large gaming group, a message was suddenly sent.
Next second.
A row of vomiting emojis instantly flooded the screen.
"Yue~spin and land?"
"Do we need to have a willful and capricious character? Plus the hero floating down from the building with his hands behind his back?"
"Fuck! Stop talking, I have a picture in my mind."
"Get out! Get out of my head!"
"Not as good as Balala the Fairies."
"Pah, nothing."
"It's almost 8 o'clock in the toilet! I'm leaving first, guys!"
Following a message, group members finally realized that it was almost 8 o'clock in the evening.
For a time, a large number of players gathered on various film and television platforms, waiting for the page to refresh.
Even in many university dormitories, students who had just finished dinner in the cafeteria hurriedly turned on their computers to see what this unique game, Honghuang, was like.
Is it really as it is said on the Internet, with dwarves, elves, minotaurs and all kinds of funny characters?
"Here it comes, the video has been updated!"
Suddenly, there was a scream in the dormitory.
Everyone who was eating was shocked and sat aside with their lunch boxes, concentrating on the meal.
It’s not that they don’t have their own computers.
But there is only one person in the entire dormitory who has a membership on the video website, so of course he has to come and take a look.
soon.
The screen lights up.
The newly updated movie officially started playing. A chaotic void of light and darkness first came into view, and at the same time a low narration sounded.
【The universe is born, and all things come to life. 】
[The Soul of the World, the Titan is born. 】
boom!
There was a loud explosion.
Just like the Big Bang, the entire screen was covered in white light and the picture began to shake violently.
The roommates watched the scene with their mouths open.
I even forgot to eat.
What is going on?
Do we have to start from the origin of the universe?
However, before they could think about it, the white light in the picture gradually dissipated.
The original chaos of light and darkness exploded into several new spaces of different shapes, with energy in various forms floating everywhere.
There is the deep and dark endless universe, the weird and twisted chaotic void, the emerald world full of life, and the boundless abyss filled with the breath of death.
Wait until everything calms down.
The camera began to zoom in rapidly, entering the original universe.
A few streaks of light flashed by and flew to all parts of the universe with the big bang.
Take a closer look.
The balls of light turned out to be the cores of newly born planets, floating and waking up in the endless void.
[Your name is Azeroth. ]
Accompanied by a soft voice, the camera finally locked onto the core of one of the largest but dim planets.
The originally flickering core.
It also stopped flickering at this moment and turned into a planet, as if it had fallen into a deep sleep.
[14.7 trillion years later...]
The scene changed.
Came to a barren land.
The tall primitive buildings, built in the middle of the loess-covered canyon, look like an uncivilized primitive tribe.
Countless figures moved slowly forward, drawing the attention of everyone in the dormitory.
But when they saw the faces of those figures clearly, they were all stunned.
"This is... an orc?"
A roommate next to him stared blankly at the screen. The tall and burly figures, covered with animal teeth and armor, looked like human-shaped beasts.
Isn’t it the orc that appeared in the CG before?
It’s just that the color on the CG is green, while it is yellow in the movie, so they didn’t react for a while.
until……
A face that looked somewhat familiar appeared in front of the camera.
Once again, they were stunned.
"Brother Hammer! Isn't this Brother Hammer?"
"Ah? This is played by Brother Dachui?"
“I almost didn’t recognize it!”
"This special effect is too strong. It directly turns a person into an orc!"
"Tsk tsk, with this physique, one punch can knock me to my knees and call me daddy."
The roommates were shocked and wanted to laugh.
The scene in front of me is really too funny.
The familiar face of Hammer Brother, coupled with the orc's physique that is more exaggerated than that of a bodybuilding beast, is simply outrageous, but it doesn't look out of place at all!
Sure enough, when it comes to the whole life.
Other game companies are really far behind Honghuang.
even.
The special effects in the movie have reached the point where they are indistinguishable from the real thing.
There's nothing fake about it!
This is the most terrifying thing.
It also made them immersed in this novel movie unconsciously.
Not long.
They basically understood the whole story.
The planets where the major orc tribes live have been polluted by evil energy and have become uninhabitable.
In the end, under the leadership of the tribal warlock "Gul'dan", they could only use the life energy of innocent people to build the Dark Portal, teleport to a world called Azeroth, and plunder the survival resources there.
"Oh my goodness, a racial invasion."
"This guy named Gul'dan is obviously a villain."
"Isn't Azeroth the planet at the beginning?"
"I get it! The game must start with an orc invasion, and the players have to fend off the orcs' attack!"
"Too small, too small-minded. With the nature of the wild beasts, would it be that simple? I will just join the orc camp and help with the invasion!"
While watching, the roommates speculated about the subsequent plot development and the content that might appear in the game.
Or say.
The content of this movie.
From the game itself?
