Chapter 124: A cross talk actor who was delayed by his game design career
Coming out of the high-speed rail station, Chen Mo took a taxi directly to the competition site.
This competition is called the "Phantom Cup", and the name is of course chosen by the organizers, that is, the people of the fantasy game platform. The fantasy game platform is not only a game channel, but also ahead of most companies for this kind of game events.
I have to say that although Ding Xing, the president of the fantasy game platform, knows nothing about game design, he still has some vision for the development prospects of the game market.
Chen Mo has a little contradiction with the Fantasy Game Platform, that is, when he did Thunder Chess and Thunder Game Platform before, he once robbed the users of the Imperial Dynasty and the Fantasy Game Platform.
However, as the saying goes, there are no eternal enemies, only eternal interests, the development momentum of "Warcraft" in China is so good, Ding Xing does not need to get along with money, if he can cooperate with Chen Mo, he will definitely not be careful to cut off his own financial route.
Originally, the professional development of "Legion Conquest" in China was not bad, and all major clubs had plans to incorporate the gods of "Legion Conquest" to form a branch, but the emergence of "Warcraft" directly muddied the water, and many clubs still decided to wait and see, after all, these two games are very likely to leave only one winner after the fight.
Wouldn't it be embarrassing to set up the "Legion Conquest" branch early, but the game was cold in less than two months.
"Warcraft" comes with a ranked match and a video system, the level of players is clearly distinguished, and a group of great gods have begun to emerge, and a certain amount of popularity has also accumulated on the live broadcast website, and the conditions for holding such a small game are fully mature.
The venue of this competition was chosen in the magic capital, and it was an offline competition, and the contestants and guest hosts all had to go to the magic capital to play. It's just that because the scale of this competition is relatively small, there is no audience seat, but it is broadcast live on the whole network through the live broadcast platform.
Chen Mo came to the competition venue, and a special person was responsible for reception, led him to the hotel to check in, and also got a document to introduce the schedule of the competition.
This time, a total of eight people with relatively high scores in the domestic "Warcraft" were invited, and Goph, Evening Wind, Digwa, and other old acquaintances who had fought with Chen Mo on the ladder came.
Every game is B03, which is directly the knockout round, eight into four, four into two, and the final, with no lower bracket or repechage. The main reason is that the scale of this competition is relatively small, so there is no need to have such complicated rules.
The competition lasted two days and was played over the weekend, with the first day being an eight-in-four and the second day being the semi-finals, third-place matches and finals. The champion has a bonus of 500,000 yuan, the runner-up 200,000 yuan, and the third place 100,000 yuan.
The bonuses aren't too much, but they're quite a few. What's more, this is a live broadcast on the whole network, and it is the first time that each god has decided the winner through BO3 on a relatively formal occasion, so these players attach great importance to it.
Partnering with Chen Mo is a professional game commentator, called Zhang Yang, who has also commented on some game events before, and his mouth is very sharp, mainly because of his good field control ability.
The organizer invited Chen Mo to explain this time, and in addition to reimbursing the round-trip ticket and accommodation, he also gave a commentary fee of 50,000 yuan. After all, Chen Mo has a special identity, and he definitely can't calculate money according to the market price of the explanation.
Chen Mo's commentary is a gimmick for the organizers, and the designer of "Warcraft" personally came to do the game commentary, and this gimmick alone can already attract a lot of audiences!
Of course, the organizers are also worried that Chen Mo has no experience in commentary, what if he runs the train with his mouth full of mouth and runs off? So Zhang Yang was arranged to be his partner, mainly to control the field. As for the professional analysis, it will be handed over to Chen Mo to complete.
For Chen Mo, this is also a good promotion opportunity, and he has not done a commentary, just to experience it, and show his face in front of the players by the way.
At the competition site, the players have already arrived and are debugging the machine.
Zhang Yang came over to greet Chen Mo: "Teacher Chen, hello." ”
Chen Mo couldn't help but think of a photographer surnamed Chen in his previous life: "Don't, don't call me Teacher Chen, it always reminds me of someone." ”
Zhang Yang: "Huh? ”
Chen Mo waved his hand: "It's okay, you still call me by my full name, don't save the word 'Mo'." ”
Zhang Yang Yile: "Okay, you are a professional designer, please give me a lot of advice today." ”
Chen Mo also smiled: "Hey, what a professional designer, today we are both commentators and partners." ”
Zhang Yang nodded: "Yes, yes, it seems that you are entering the rhythm very quickly." Let's debug the equipment first. ”
Zhang Yang cooperated with the staff to debug the equipment, Chen Mo didn't have to care about anything, anyway, there was a special person to arrange it. After the equipment was debugged, Chen Mo said two words and tried it, and everything was normal.
Zhang Yang looked at the live broadcast room on his phone, and now the signal has not been answered, and the live broadcast room is still black.
As a result, there are already more than 200,000 viewers in the live broadcast room.
Zhang Yang was surprised: "Hey, there are a lot of spectators today, this game hasn't started yet, it's more than 200,000, and when the meeting starts, it's going to be 7.8 million." ”
On the screen of the live broadcast room, many viewers are also chatting.
"Why don't you start yet? Hurry up, wait! ”
"I heard that Chen Mo is coming today?"
"Who is Chen Mo?"
"The designers of Warcraft!"
"Really? What is he doing here? ”
"Commentary game!"
"Wow, that feels like today's game is quite interesting, the designer must have a deeper understanding of the game than the average person, let's see what he has to say then."
"I don't know if Chen Mo plays his own game, and I don't know what segmentation he has. Maybe it's not even 2000 points? ”
"It's possible, after all, a lot of designers are handicapped."
Say anything.
Zhang Yangle said: "Yo, the audience is still looking forward to it." It's almost time to start, come on, let's look at the camera. ”
The live broadcast screen is out.
Zhang Yang: "Hello to all the sailors and viewers who are watching the live broadcast, welcome to watch the 'Phantom Cup' "Warcraft" Invitational Tournament hosted by the Fantasy Game Platform, I am the commentator Zhang Yang. ”
Chen Mo followed: "I'm commenting on Chen Mo." ”
The audience is also very curious, this is Chen Mo? It's so much younger than you expected!
The audience basically didn't know Chen Mo, this was the first time they saw his true face. After all, people usually play games, and they don't care who its designer is.
Zhang Yang said: "Teacher Chen Mo is also the first time to make a guest commentator, I see that many viewers are very excited, and they are all watching the barrage to welcome it." ”
Chen Mo said: "Yes, let me take a look, it seems that they are all brushing 'Chen Mo to pay back my hard-earned money'?" ”
Zhang Yangle is happy, this Chen Mo is quite good at making stalks, this burden will come, I'm afraid I didn't talk about cross talk in my last life, right?
Zhang Yang said: "Hey, Teacher Chen Mo, you are too good at joking. ”
Chen Mo waved his hand: "Don't don't, didn't we say it before the broadcast, don't call me Teacher Chen Mo, it's too polite." ”
Zhang Yang: "Then what do I call you?" ”
Chen Mo said: "Let's call Chen Da Designer, after all, my main business is to design games." ”
The audience is happy, and the commentary is good, why do you still talk about cross talk?
Zhang Yang was speechless: "Are you polite?" Come on, I'll call you Mr. Chen Mo. ”
Chen Mo said: "Just now I was mainly making a little joke to liven up the atmosphere. Today is also the first time to do a commentary, and I am very excited to partner with Mr. Zhang Yang. ”
The barrage complained one after another: "This is the first time you have commentated, I feel that you must have said cross talk in your last life, this is completely familiar!" ”
