Chapter 263 The First Tourism Expo
Zhang Lexing looked all the way along the aisle between the booths, and saw the booths of nearly twenty domestic exhibitors in a row, which made him feel that there were only four or five exhibitors. AI-enhanced "Decisive War in North Korea", "New Century Empire" under development of target software, "Between Life and Death 2 Legend of Doom" under development by Creative Yingxiang Studio, "Murderous Aura" under development by Octopus Studio, Although it can't be regarded as a rare masterpiece, it still shows some bright spots in some aspects.

Moving forward, the reappeared booths were about three to four larger than the previous ones, and the scale was relatively larger. Zhang Lexing looked up at the manufacturer's logo on the booth. It turned out that this was Zhiguan from Taiwan. Technology, Spectrum Boshuo, and Third Wave are game companies.Zhiguan Technology set up ten computers to show some of the games they represent and develop, including "Fantasy World Records" and "Shattered Void" with 3D graphics as a gimmick. It is surprising that they still look the same There are two PS game consoles, and an unknown game animation is playing. It looks like they plan to enter PS game development.

Spectrum Boshuo's booth is the smallest among several Taiwanese game companies, and there are few games on display, almost only "Magic World", which is known as "the first Internet-connected monopoly in history", in order to show For its network connection function, Spectrum staff also set up a small local area network for players to experience on-site.The third wave is the same as before, all the games on display are agency games. As for self-development, they have not known that feeling for many years.

Passing through the exhibition area of ​​Taiwan game companies, you will be greeted by a huge booth, which almost completely occupies the rest of Area A. This is a joint exhibition area built by Zhang Lexing’s domestic investment game companies, including creative workshops, Tian Zhiyuan (Shanghai) and Tianzhiyuan (Fuzhou), the game studios affiliated to these three companies, such as Jagged Studio and Yuebai Studio hosted by Creative Workshop, and the spin-off from these three companies Game studios, independent game companies, such as Haizhijiao Entertainment Software Co., Ltd., Yuandian Software, Qin Studio and Dongfang Studio, which were spun off from Tianzhiyuan (Shanghai), Shanghai Hongjun and Guangzhou, which were spun off from Creative Workshop Tianyou and so on.

For the sake of resource sharing, these companies jointly set up a booth, but it was divided into two areas according to the different game platforms. More than 30 networked PCs were placed on one side to showcase the computer games under development. It is also available for players to play on-site, and on the other side, there are more than a dozen PS, N64 game consoles and large-screen TVs to show the games on the home console, and they are also available for players to try on-site.

When Zhang Le walked to the joint booth, some spectators who came early had already arrived first. Those PCs and game consoles for players to experience on-site had already been occupied, and there was even a waiting line of about 40 to [-] people. There were quite a few people standing around waiting to get promotional materials and game peripherals, and several staff members were mechanically repeating the actions of registering, distributing materials, and distributing game peripherals.

Wang Mengyao glanced at the crowd around the joint booth, turned her head and pointed to area B, and said, "Boss, there are quite a lot of people here, why don't we go to the opposite side to have a look first."

Zhang Lexing took another look at the joint booth. Not only were there not many spectators there, but there seemed to be even more of them, so he nodded: "Okay, let's go to the opposite side first."

A group of people continued walking along the aisle, and when they were almost at the end, Zhang Lexing noticed that there was another booth next to it, but it didn't seem to clearly indicate which company it belonged to.He glanced at it, then turned around and asked, "Meng Yao, what is this booth?"

"Hmm..." Wang Mengyao turned her head to look around, and replied, "Boss, this is the place you asked Chairman Zhao to help you back then, the booth of the game console."

Zhang Lexing took a closer look again and said, "But it looks like..."

"This is a plan planned by the company's planning department. They feel that under the current domestic environment, this method is the most economical and effective, and it can also achieve the purpose of keeping secrets to a certain extent." Wang Mengyao explained.

"Really, I hope it's really useful." Zhang Lexing looked at it again, waved his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go over there and have a look."

A group of people continued along the aisle and walked to the B area on the other side...

The exhibition soon entered the third day. Since the morning of the previous day, the game expo has been officially open to ordinary audiences. You only need to buy a ticket of 10 yuan to enter the venue. Therefore, Li Wenbo, who has been planning for a long time, called his old classmate Wu Yufei planned to visit the BJ exhibition hall together, but things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.

Wu Yufei raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was only 3 minutes away from the opening time at 5:[-] a.m., and the ticket checkpoints had already begun to check tickets to enter the venue. However, Li Wenbo, who was said to be coming early, hadn't been seen yet. In a hurry, he could only keep walking around outside the ticket checkpoint, and occasionally looked up.After wandering around for about four or five minutes, Wu Yufei saw a taxi stop outside the gate of the exhibition hall with a squeak, and then someone opened the door and rushed over. He took a closer look and found that the person who came was Li Wenbo.

"Doctor, let me tell you why you came here. Look at what time it is." A long distance away, Wu Yufei urged his watch while gesticulating: "Look, everyone has already entered." field."

While running desperately, Li Wenbo replied: "Hey~, I also want to come earlier. I heard that it is not easy to park here, so I didn't ride a motorcycle, and I specially took a taxi to come here, but I didn't expect to be blocked halfway. Old Wu, have you bought a ticket yet?"

"I bought it, I bought it, and seeing that you haven't come, I knew there must be something wrong, so I bought it as soon as possible." Wu Yufei took out two tickets from his pocket, shook them, and then pointed to the former ticket office manager. The long queue: "Look, I'm waiting for you to come, so I don't know when I can get in."

Running in front of Wu Yufei in one breath, Li Wenbo couldn't wait to reach out for the ticket before he could catch his breath.Wu Yufei withdrew his hand and said, "There's no need to be in such a hurry, let's go in together when the air is well adjusted."

Li Wenbo took a few deep breaths, his breath became a little more stable, and he couldn't wait to drag Wu Yufei to go inside.

"I said, why are you in such a hurry?" Wu Yufei asked the staff while handing the ticket in his hand.

"Hey~ I heard that there was a very exciting opening performance. It seemed to start at five minutes past nine or ten minutes, so it's almost time." Li Wenbo explained.

"Worry~ You didn't say it earlier." After receiving the cut ticket from the staff, Wu Yufei dragged Li Wenbo and ran towards the entrance.

Relying on the background left over from the university, the two successfully ran into the exhibition hall at five minutes past nine, and came to the stage where the "opening performance" that Li Wenbo said was held.Wu Yufei supported his knees with his hands, and breathed desperately with his mouth open. The image of Li Wenbo next to him was even worse. Not only was his face flushed, but his breathing sounded like a bellows.While trying to adjust their breathing, the two looked up at the stage. At this moment, the music started, and a dozen handsome men and beautiful women in different costumes walked onto the stage, posing in twos and threes to the rhythm.

"Doctor, is this the 'opening performance' you mentioned?" Wu Yufei glanced at the stage, gasping for breath, then turned his head and asked.

"Ah, it should be." Li Wenbo also looked at the stage, feeling a sense of disappointment spontaneously.

"Shh~ what, isn't it the one we saw in the club before, what..." Wu Yufei tilted his head and tried hard to recall.

Li Wenbo reminded: "It should be COSPLAY!"

"That's right, it's COSPLAY." Wu Yufei nodded repeatedly, then sighed and said, "This doesn't look very good, doctor, let's go and look at other games, maybe we can see some new games."

"Okay, let's go..." Li Wenbo took a look at the tour guide he just picked up, and then pointed to the left with his hand: "Go this way, let's go to the domestic game companies first."

……

Similar to Zhang Le's route two days ago, the two walked along the aisle to Area A first.After several years of nurturing, Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei have a relatively high vision for watching games. As a result, there are not many games that the two of them can enjoy. Fortunately, there are many booths ahead. Coupled with the absence of the Creative Workshop and Fengyun Interactive, the hearts of the two are still full of expectations.

Going forward, there are several booths of Taiwanese game companies. Compared with the previous companies, the area is a bit larger, but the games on display are still quite ordinary, that is, the third wave of agent Sinicization. Several games "Armor Commander", "Soul Calibur" and "Atlantis" are still worth watching.

Passing through the booth of the Taiwan company, what they saw was a huge area, almost as large as the sum of the previous booths, with exquisite small stage, huge display screen, peculiar glass room and chic interior architecture, plus There was a constant flow of people, all of which were very different from the slightly deserted booths in front, and the most eye-catching thing in this area was the huge game posters on the high places.

"Look," Li Wenbo pointed to the distant poster with his hand and said, "Old Wu, that seems to be the legendary "Legend of Sword and Fairy 3"."

"Oh," Wu Yufei looked intently. On a poster with a simple and simple background, there was a man with ethereal eyes standing with a sword. Next to it was written "Looking for the fairy trail in the vast Shushan Mountains, and it is difficult to break the unresolved love with a sword." Look at the style It really seems to be "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Wu Yufei followed the poster to the side, and a poster of a robot in the background of the universe attracted his attention.He looked carefully for a while, then suddenly patted Li Wenbo beside him, and shouted excitedly: "Doctor, look to the side, it looks like a Gundam!"

Li Wenbo was admiring a poster called "Special War Heroes". Hearing Wu Yufei's surprise cry, he turned his head and looked over.・The GX-9901-DX body driven by Lan.

After looking at the posters for a while, the two continued to walk forward, wanting to see what those glass houses and interior buildings were for.Not far away, suddenly there was a surprise shout from the side: "Doctor, Lao Wu, why are you here?"

Li Wenbo and Wu Yufei were taken aback for a moment, and then looked in the direction of the voice. They didn't expect that the person who called them was Zhao Wei, whom they hadn't seen for a while.

"Why are you here too?" Li Wenbo stepped forward and asked curiously.

"Yeah, didn't you go to Fengyun Game Academy to study?" Wu Yufei also followed and asked suspiciously.

"I went to Fengyun Game Academy, but I have graduated now. How is it?" Zhao Wei spread his hands around and asked, "It looks pretty good."

"Hmm..." Li Wenbo sized her up, nodded and said, "Not bad, not bad, she looks like a white-collar beauty."

"Go, what white-collar beauty." Zhao Wei pushed Li Wenbo dumbfounded.

"Weizi, where do you work now?" Wu Yufei asked.

"I was lucky. When I was picking people, I was spotted by the creative workshop, and now I am a full-time employee." Zhao Wei replied with a serious face.

"Oh, you're not bad, it seems that if you want to play any good games in the future, we'll count on you." Li Wenbo patted Zhao Wei on the shoulder and said with a smile.

"That is, what games do you want to play in the future, my buddies will do it for you." Zhao Wei patted his chest proudly.

"Weizi, since you have entered the creative workshop, what are you doing now?" Wu Yufei asked curiously from the side.

"Oh, come to the Game Expo." Zhao Wei said casually, and then began to introduce the exhibition area here: "This is the joint booth of several companies such as Creative Workshop and Tianzhiyuan. The glass house is a demo area for computer games, and the one to the east is the game demo area for PS and N64 game consoles. If you are interested, I will help you get two numbers, and you can play for half an hour. How about you You can go to those game display booths. Although you can’t play them yourself, you can see a lot of good game demos that are still under development. Or you can go to the two booths over there to pick up game promotional materials and game peripherals. The latest game demo disc. Otherwise, wait for more than ten minutes, and our performance will soon begin."

While the three were talking, someone suddenly shouted, "Zhao Wei, come and help!"

Zhao Wei had no choice but to show a sorry expression, and said, "I'm sorry, buddy, I'm going to help."

"Weizi, go ahead." Li Wenbo waved his hand and said, "Let's go around by ourselves."

"Okay then, I'll go find you guys later." Zhao Wei nodded, turned and left.

Wu Yufei glanced at Zhao Wei who was walking away, then turned around and asked, "How about it, where shall we go first?"

"Let's go over there first, come back later, and then we can ask Weizi to give us a trial number." Li Wenbo waved his hand and led the way to the side.
