You call this entrepreneurship?

Chapter 141

The team heading to the United States this time is much larger than before. In addition to the team of lawyers we bring every time, we also have a gaming team.

Including Fan Xiaoqian's three-person programming team, plus the twenty-person art team led by Hong Fei, and finally the two guardians Zhang Pingyi and Xiong Jiajia.

After a thirteen-hour transoceanic voyage, the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport.

Facebook's local staff were ready to receive him and rented a bus for Qin Shaoyan's use.

After picking everyone up in the car, we went straight to the house we rented in advance.

This is a high-rise apartment. It is located in the urban area and has convenient transportation and a good environment.

Moreover, most of the tenants in the apartment building are students and white-collar workers, and public security is guaranteed.

This time I have to stay in the United States for at least one to two weeks, and with the large team, it would be inconvenient to stay in a hotel, so I simply rented an apartment.

The apartment has complete facilities and Internet access, which facilitates online communication, development and maintenance.

Different from other exhibitions, E3 is a business exchange exhibition open to people in the game industry. In addition to players, the main audiences of the exhibition are publishers, distributors, developers, media, etc. in the industry.

Therefore, at the exhibition, various game manufacturers will try their best to attract as much attention as possible.

Qin Shaoyan's booth was much deserted in comparison. Although they had done a lot of decoration with the help of V agency, they were not well-known and it was difficult to attract everyone's attention.

I experienced various firearms such as pistols, submachine guns, assault rifles and machine guns one by one, and also had close contact with real guns.

After all, the main market for this game is still in North America, so it cannot get into trouble because of copyright issues.

The E3 exhibition can be said to be a preview of the annual business war in the game industry. Major game manufacturers will present their most important products of the year at the exhibition. Whether they can succeed at this exhibition to some extent represents the product. market prospects.

In the intense busyness, time soon came to May 5, the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E12) officially opened at the Los Angeles International Convention Center in the United States.

More than 400 manufacturers and thousands of games on various platforms from around the world participated in this exhibition, including Chinese manufacturers such as NetDragon.

What is different from the past is that this year not only Chinese game manufacturers participated in the exhibition, but the Audiovisual Electronics and Online Publishing Management Department of the Publishing House sent a deputy director to lead a delegation to inspect the exhibition.

If it's just a demo, it's okay, but if you want to make a formal version, you have to look for post-dubbing again.

After coming into contact with the real thing, the art team found that there were still some differences between the model and the photo. After all, the various details could not be easily observed in the photo.

He first used connections to secure the copyright for the Pirates of the Caribbean theme song "he's a pirate" and added this classic music to the BGM for game promotion.

There is another more important issue, which is the sound of firearms.

After everyone was settled, Qin Shaoyan carefully gave some safety precautions and then let everyone go to rest.

The next day, everyone who had rested and reorganized was pulled to the shooting range and began to experience the feeling of shooting with live ammunition.

E3 is the world's largest and most well-known interactive entertainment exhibition. It has been held since 1995 and plays an important role in the global electronic entertainment industry. Some reviews call it "the annual Olympic event in the electronic entertainment industry."

Although it cost a little money, it still needs to be spent for advertising.

The art team here is studying firearms, and Qin Shaoyan is also busy here.

Previously, they used audio files extracted in CS as dubbing for the demo. Now when they went to the scene and compared it, they found that there was a big difference.

As soon as the exhibition opened, countless players poured into the conference center. Their first choice was the booths of famous game manufacturers to see what game masterpieces they can expect this year.

At this time, more people's attention is on the booths of major manufacturers such as Microsoft, Sega, Sony, and Nintendo.

At the pre-show press conference, Nintendo officially announced their new handheld console "NDS", and a video started on the spot.

When the scene of Link riding a galloping horse appeared in front of everyone, the audience immediately burst into cheers. Then the talented producer Shigeru Miyamoto came on the stage, brandishing a sword and shield, and announced to everyone that "The Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess" was actually under development, which aroused the excitement of the players.

The classic expression of the four foreigners cheering for joy was born at this moment.

Therefore, the Nintendo booth has become the most popular attraction, with many players and media rushing in.

……

The leaders of the Printing Department came to Qin Shaoyan's booth as their first stop.

Chen Peng took the lead and introduced to the deputy director leading the team, "This is the famous game designer, Qin Shaoyan."

The deputy director enthusiastically stretched out his hand and shook it with Qin Shaoyan, "Mr. Qin has achieved such extraordinary results at such a young age. He is truly a talented designer."

"The leaders have given me the award." Qin Shaoyan said modestly, "There are many gaming talents in the country, and I am just one of them. I would also like to thank the leaders for their care and support."

"That's different. You, Qin Shaoyan, are recognized as the number one player in the Chinese game." The deputy director joked with a smile, "This is recognized by Americans."

After all, Qin Shaoyan is a golden brand of China's game industry to the outside world and a world-class game designer.

And because of the project of exporting stand-alone games overseas, Qin Shaoyan has a close relationship with the publisher, so he naturally received special attention from the authorities.

The leader encouraged Qin Shaoyan a few words, and also specifically proposed to try out the new games brought by their company to express the publisher's attention.

Then the domestic media who came with the delegation came to interview one after another.

"Excuse me, Mr. Qin, what new game did you bring this time? Is it the Counter-Strike online game?"

"Mr. Qin, can this new game break the sales record of Plants vs. Zombies?"

"Mr. Qin, do you have the confidence to create another miracle this time and continue to add luster to Huaxia Games?"

"Mr. Qin, do you think there is a big gap between Chinese games and foreign games?"

"Mr. Qin, how can the domestic game industry learn from the major international game companies? When will we catch up with the international level?"

"Mr. Qin, what do you have to say about the domestic game industry? Can you teach everyone your secret to success?"

"Mr. Qin, how can domestic stand-alone games be revitalized? What do you think? Do you think domestic stand-alone games still have a future?"

"Mr. Qin, in the face of powerful international manufacturers, Chuxin Technology still has a long way to go. Do you have confidence?"

Qin Shaoyan sighed inwardly, what's going on with you guys doing news? Can't you do a good interview?

What kind of bad questions are being raised here?

Does it still need to be asked whether there is a big gap between Chinese games and international games?
Don't throw all the burden of revitalizing China's games on me alone. I'm under a lot of pressure.

Qin Shaoyan said with a smile: "We have made sufficient preparations for this exhibition. Whether it can surpass the previous game is hard to say."

"Because the game market is constantly changing and full of uncertainties, anything can happen."

“It’s a good time for the game Plants vs. Zombies to become popular. After all, games with global sales of more than 10 million are very rare.”

"However, I am still very confident in the quality of the new games. After all, we are aiming at the world-class level."

The reporters suddenly became excited and asked repeatedly, "Mr. Qin, do you think your game can compete with international game companies?"

"It doesn't matter whether I say it or not. It has to be tested by the market." Qin Shaoyan smiled slightly and said, "Please wait and see."
