This is not a BUG, this is a game feature

Shen'en Animation is the cornerstone of Tianba Studio's expansion and continued survival, and is also one of the studio's most stable sources of income.

Because of this, Chen Ba has been thinking very hard about the first Shen'en Animation Production Competition. He has spent money and efforts when it is necessary, and he does not dare to be careless at all.

The competition lasts from January to mid-June of the year. Participants come from all over the world. There are no nationality or age restrictions, and there are no restrictions on subject matter...

The selection method is very simple!

From January to June, all entries that meet the criteria will appear on the event webpage. The voting channel will be opened in early June. The 20 works with the largest number of supporters will be shortlisted and await the final decision of the core jury.

In addition to these 20 "audition" works, there are 10 works that belong to the exclusive quota of "connected households".

These 10 works will be jointly recommended by major animation companies, well-known animation websites, well-known animators, and the Shenen Animation Association.

Guanhu is a bit too much.

Although these 10 quotas sound no different from related households, in fact, the reason why Chen Ba reserved these 10 quotas is mainly for works with unpopular or niche themes.

no way!

The early auditions were too cruel. They only looked at popularity and popularity. The audience only voted for those works they liked, and it was impossible to vote for unpopular niche works.

In other words, some divine animations with unpopular niche themes will suffer greatly in this regard. No matter how high the quality is, and how deep and humanistic the plot is, they will most likely be eliminated.

Therefore, Chen Ba had a backup plan.

Once there is such a work, which is not as popular and popular as other works, but is actually of high quality, it can enter the jury's field of vision through the back door.

There are 20 audition works + 10 recommended works, a total of 30 divine animations. In the end, one gold award work, five silver award works and ten excellence award works will be decided, and the rest are all shortlisted awards.

In other words, after entering the jury stage, even if you don't win any major awards, you can still have fun with a "shortlisted award".

Finalist Award 100,000 Yuan!

Excellence Award of RMB 500,000!

The silver award is 1 million yuan and the gold award is 5 million yuan. The unit is soft girl coins!

Half of this money will be sponsored by the Shen'en Animation Association, and the other half will be borne by Tianba Studio.

“Is the gold medal too few?”

Regarding the award arrangement for this competition, Yang Dong pondered: "Only one gold medal is awarded. Isn't it a pity for those works that are indistinguishable?"

"You can also make double-yolked eggs!"

"Besides, you think the number of gold medals is too small to meet the demand. But this competition is held once a year. One gold medal work a year is not a lot, right?"

to be honest.

Compared to Yang Dong's unfounded worries, Chen Ba was worried about one gold medal-winning divine grace animation a year. Is the frequency too high?

If in a certain year, the output of Shen'en Animation drops sharply, or the average quality is uneven, and it is difficult to select a qualified gold award work, then wouldn't it be necessary to bite the bullet and award the gold award to a film that in previous years was only worthy of the silver award? s work?

"That's definitely going to happen."

Yang Dong said firmly: "Just take a look at the Oscar Awards Ceremony and you will know. Is the quality of the Best Picture at each Oscar very high?"

No no no!

Although the honor of Oscar statuette has a high gold content, everyone with a discerning eye knows that the best picture of some movies is "deserving of the name", while the best picture of some movies is "the general among the dwarfs".

A film industry as mature as Hollywood cannot yet produce a high-quality film stably every year, let alone Divine Animation.

Therefore, what Chen Ba is worried about will definitely happen, but this is normal and not worth worrying about.

The Shen’en animation of a certain year was very embarrassing, and the gold award works were only at the level of the “Silver Award” or “Excellence Award” of previous years, so let’s leave it like that!

Who caused the market to be sluggish this year and not produce a qualified gold medal work?

Just because the market is not good and there are no qualified works for the Gold Award, we can't set up a Gold Award selection this year, right? There is no such reason. It should be established and gold medals should be awarded.

It’s only five million, Tianba Studio can still come up with it...

"What if I can't get it out?"

"Then give up sponsorship and naming rights, and let the Shen'en Animation Association raise funds for sponsorship!"

Chen Ba waved his hand and said, "I don't want that day to come, because when that day comes, it will mean the decline of Tianba Studio."

To be fair, if Tianba Studio is really reduced to the point where it can't even come up with the money, there is no need to continue holding this competition.

Because Tianba Studio is in such a miserable situation, one can imagine the current situation of Shen’en Animation. What is the point of continuing to hold this competition?

…

Jiangning, Jinding Road.

A signboard was erected at the entrance of a tea restaurant decorated with antique charm. It read: Warmly celebrate the successful holding of Jiangning's first Zixiao Palace Taoism Conference. Taoist friends are welcome to come and discuss Taoism!

This line of writing is so eye-catching!

Pedestrians passing by glanced at the sign and cast curious glances into the restaurant.

What the hell?

Discussing Taoism in Zixiao Palace? Is your Zixiao Palace the Zixiao Palace that I understand? Oh...it turns out that the name of this restaurant is Zixiao Palace, disrespectful!

Lao Chen put on decent clothes early in the morning, picked up the game peripherals he had just picked up from his son's company - a paper fan with the words Galaxy Emperor printed on it, and came outside the Zixiao Palace.

The waiter dressed as a boy walked up to Old Chen and asked, "Does this great immortal have an invitation letter?"

"have!"

Lao Chen didn't change his expression and handed over a red and gilded invitation letter. The boy took a look at it and said with a smile: "It turns out to be [I want to hold a grandson], senior. Please come inside. Senior, your seat is in the first row." …”

Following the boy's guidance, Old Chen entered the banquet hall of Zixiao Palace.

The hall is decorated in a fairy-like style, and the so-called seats are not chairs or stools, but real futons woven from cattails.

At this time, there were many people in the hall. Everyone called each other Taoist friends and the conversation was lively.

Lao Chen came to the first row and just found a futon to sit down when someone poked him lightly on the shoulder.

"What's your surname, fellow Taoist?"

"My surname is Chen, my game ID is [I want to have a grandson]!" Lao Chen politely replied.

"Ah... It turns out I'm holding a grandson, senior! Hello, senior, my game ID is [I really want to be Brother Ba's dog], you can just call me Xiao Li."

The young man who was the first to say hello was stunned when he heard this ID, his eyes filled with disbelief.

[I want to hold a grandson]?

This ID is not generally famous in "Cultivation Fantasy". As a late-stage god-transformation great monk and concurrently serving as the law enforcement elder of the Weapon Refining Sect, Lao Chen is known to almost every player.

I want to have grandsons is a player who specializes in "Krypton gold cultivating immortality". It is said that the total amount of krypton gold he has earned in the game has approached 10 million, making him a well-deserved top tycoon.

And unlike other powerful players, [I Want to Have a Grandchild] does not follow the route of quick karma or any evil practice, but follows the route of merit like ordinary players, and honestly accumulates merit to improve the realm of cultivation.

As far as the players know, the meaning of earning krypton gold to have a grandson is not to become stronger, but to refine weapons...

That’s right!

This senior is obsessed with weapon refining, and almost all of his money is spent on purchasing various top weapon refining materials from the mall.

Moreover, he likes to give the refined magic weapons and instruments to the destined people, so he has a high reputation in the cultivation world and is loved and praised by everyone.

As a meritorious monk in the transformation stage, Xiao Li has naturally heard of Lao Chen's illustrious reputation. Not only that, he also received a mid-grade magic weapon from Lao Chen in the game.

But he never expected that the real-life "grandchild" senior would be a middle-aged uncle. He thought that given this nickname, this senior would probably look like a gray-haired grandfather.

When Xiao Li asked why Lao Chen had such a nickname despite his age, Lao Chen sighed.

"I just don't look too old, but I'm actually over 50 years old. Most people my age have grandchildren, except for my son, who doesn't even have a girlfriend..."

"Oh no?"

Xiao Li was a little surprised.

Lao Chen can make tens of millions of dollars in games, which proves that his family is strong. Then his son is also a second-generation rich man. How can a second-generation rich man not find a girlfriend?

"Rich second generation?"

Hearing this, Lao Chen laughed: "You are wrong. I am not a wealthy entrepreneur, my son is. He gave me all the money I paid for games."

Is your son from the rich generation?

Xiao Li was even more impressed. He didn't expect that the peer he had never met was not an idle rich second generation, but a self-made rich generation.

At this young age, he has successfully started a business, and even his father can spend tens of millions of dollars on games. How much money has he earned?

At the same time, Xiao Li was even more puzzled.

For such an awesome person, it stands to reason that there is no shortage of women around him. Why do you think that Senior Chen means that his son doesn't have a partner yet?

"It's harmful, don't mention it!"

Lao Chen waved his hand and said: "My son is a workaholic, and there are not many single women in the company, so it has been delayed until now."

"The reason why I came to this Zixiao Palace Taoism Conference is not only to meet fellow Taoists, but also to see if there is a suitable girl and introduce her to my son later."

"Then you really came to the right place!"

Hearing this, Xiao Li raised his eyebrows, pointed to the "female cultivator" camp next to him and whispered: "Senior, look, there are many beautiful fairies coming to the Zixiao Palace Discussion Conference today. You can choose one to be your daughter-in-law." …”

"Well, there are indeed quite a few."

Old Chen glanced in the direction Xiao Li pointed, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Sure enough, we came to the right place!

For today's Zixiao Palace Taoism Conference, the standard was set based on "three thousand guests in Zixiao Palace". Although it did not reach 3,000 people, more than a thousand people were designated.

Among the more than a thousand fellow Taoists, there are at least more than 300 female cultivators here today, and most of them are not very old. They look like they are in their twenties anyway.

Okay, okay, I have to quickly ask for my contact information, then go home and show it to my son and ask him what style he likes.

"Huh!"

Lao Chen, who was sizing up his future daughter-in-law, suddenly caught a glimpse of a group of fellow Taoists dressed in black. He couldn't help but frown and said, "We also invited karma evil cultivators to today's Tao discussion conference?"

"Yes, I was indeed invited."

Xiao Li explained: "The Lord of Zixiao Palace is kind and kind. Regardless of whether you are a meritorious monk or a karmic evil cultivator, you can come to Zixiao Palace to listen to Taoism and talk about it. Drinks are free and you can take your own fruit."

"This Lord of Zixiao Palace..."

Lao Chen thought about it and found that this guy is really a wonderful person.

The decoration of the Zixiao Palace restaurant is not simple, and the location is also good. Opening such a restaurant in the central city must cost tens of millions.

As a result, tens of millions were spent, not seeking to make money, but only wanting to provide a place for Taoists to discuss Taoism and preach. The scale of his work is admirable.

Drinks are free, you can take your own fruit, and there is no restriction on the target audience. Anyone can come, whether they are meritorious monks or karmic evil cultivators. I am afraid that a lot of money will be spent on this...

One mountain is higher than the other!

Lao Chen thought for a moment, and realized that the unassuming boss behind Zixiao Palace might have as much financial resources as his son.

Then here comes the problem!

Does he have a daughter? Why don't you introduce me to your son? It doesn't feel impossible to marry a well-matched couple or something like that!

Lao Chen, who only wants to hold his grandson in his arms, now wants to ask everyone he sees, "Do you have a daughter? Can you introduce her to my son?"

There's no way, he's too impatient!

Every time I go to the square to find an old lady dancing, I see them all pushing a stroller, which makes me jealous from the bottom of my heart.

No, there are so many female cultivators here today, and they have designated the one that my son likes and must sell it to him...

Old Chen has already thought about it.

Zixiao Palace Taoism Conference, what is Taoism? As the name suggests, it is to invite some seniors with "high level of cultivation" to come on stage to tell everyone the secrets of cultivation and share some experiences and so on.

He has nothing to share!

When it was his turn to take the stage, he simply said that he was here to propose marriage to his son. As long as she became his daughter-in-law, she could give her any innate treasure or chaotic spiritual treasure.

No joke!

The game "Cultivation Fantasy" is produced by Tianba Studio. It's hard to say anything else. Anyway, everything in the game is what you need.

The premise is that you must win over his son and be willing to be his daughter-in-law!

Lao Chen thought about it and felt that the problem shouldn't be big. With his family's conditions and strength, which female cultivator wouldn't be moved by it?

The most difficult task is how to win over the son and make him nod his consent to this marriage! If he didn't nod, even if Lao Chen arranged a heavenly marriage for him, he would have to brag about it!

Moreover, your identity cannot be revealed!

Lao Chen also knows that his son is a celebrity, and once his name and appearance are revealed, it will trigger a heated discussion on the Internet.

Therefore, matchmaking must also pay attention to methods and methods. You cannot just say "My son is Chen Ba" from the beginning.

"Then let's use online dating!"

Lao Chen made up his mind and decided to hide it from the other party for the time being and not tell her his son's real name and appearance.

He has already typed up the manuscript:

"My son also plays "Cultivation Fantasy" and has had a crush on you for a long time. Could you please add him as a friend and try to get in touch?"
