The main business of a game company is definitely game research and development.
But if you want to extend the life cycle of a game, it must not just be the playability of the game.
In addition, there must be some special places for players to remember.
past life,
The reason why the game "League of Legends" has become a phenomenal online game is that in addition to the simpler gameplay compared to Dota, it also has unique hero lines and background stories.
When new characters are designed, their background stories will also be added to the overall background of the game.
This gives players a sense of identification with the plot when playing the game.
Obviously, Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe did not think of this.
To be honest, Chen Ming didn't expect it at first.
Only now, after watching the heroic character appear in the opening ceremony, did Chen Ming realize this.
Chen Ming kept this matter in mind and prepared to talk to Situ Kong after the opening ceremony.
After the hero appeared on the stage, it was Chen Ming's turn.
As the countdown on the big screen on the stage ended, Chen Ming held an electric guitar and slowly rose from the bottom of the stage.
At the same time, a temporary band composed of several people surrounded Chen Ming.
The stage was now covered in white mist, except for the center, where the white mist was sinking downwards.
It's afternoon time now.
The sun hasn't set yet.
Therefore, the lighting effects at the opening ceremony were not very flashy. If you want to enhance the atmosphere of the scene, white fog is most suitable.
"Dang~"
The defects in the center of the stage have also been completed.
Chen Ming's figure is clearly displayed in front of the audience!
In an instant, the audience in Zhongzhou became excited.
This was the first time they saw Chen Ming wearing such hip-hop clothes. Even when he participated in "The King of Rap", Chen Ming did not wear such high-quality clothes.
"Brother Chen!!"
"Brother Chen is so handsome!!"
"I'm just here for Brother Chen!!"
Cheers echoed throughout the stadium.
The audience from Nanzhou was confused, who is Chen Ming? Is he very popular?
They came to Central Continent from South Continent, so naturally they didn't know the current entertainment situation in Central Continent.
But judging from the audience's reaction, Chen Ming seems to be very popular.
Chen Ming did not respond to the audience's enthusiasm, but lightly strummed the strings of his electric guitar, indicating that the rest of the band could start playing.
This is not Chen Ming's concert.
Chen Ming did not have time to interact with the audience. The focus now was to complete the opening ceremony smoothly.
Hearing the sound of strings, the band's drummer and electronic keyboard player began to play the prelude of "Numb".
The moment the prelude started playing, the whole place fell into silence.
In fact, at the beginning of October, Jixiang Company announced the theme song for this year’s finals.
That’s the song “numb”!
Once it was released, players in Central and Southern Continent were all excited.
Of course, the reasons for boiling on both sides are different.
The reason why Zhongzhou players are excited is that Chen Ming actually endorsed "League of Legends" and even wrote a theme song for the game.
The reason why Nanzhou players are excited is simpler: the song is so popular!
in addition,
The lyrics of this song "Numb" are completely created in the Nanzhou dialect, and there are no Chinese lyrics at all, which makes Nanzhou players feel a sense of identity from the bottom of their hearts.
In their minds, the person who wrote this song must be from Nanzhou.
I never expected that the person who composed such a passionate song was a Central Asian, a Central Asian who knew the Nanzhou dialect very well.
And now.
Right on the stage of the finals.
Chen Ming will perform this song "Numb" live, which will completely ignite the entire competition venue.
When the sound of the electric guitar in Chen Ming's hand rang out, the audience watching the game live and watching the game live online shivered and got goosebumps all over their bodies.
Interestingly,
Anyone who plays the game "League of Legends" has learned this song, whether they are Central Continent players or Southern Continent players.
For the people of Central China, they don’t understand the meaning of the lyrics, but the melody is passionate and pleasant, and it’s worth learning.
The people in Nanzhou even touted this song as the most popular song in Nanzhou and set it up as a single cycle.
As a result, the entire audience of 50,000 people will sing this song "Numb".
When the melody of a whole band sounded on the stage, many of them could no longer suppress the singing deep in their souls.
A few seconds later.
Chen Ming's singing voice came out in a low voice.
That’s right!
That’s what it feels like!!
As Chen Ming sang, the audience would wave their light sticks along with the melody, and everyone's faces turned red with excitement.
at this moment,
Chen Ming seemed to have turned the game finals scene into his own concert.
Backstage.
Situ Kong and Xia Zhihe nodded with satisfaction. "When I asked Chen Ming to be the spokesperson and write songs, I really did the right thing."
Situ Kong sighed a little.
When he heard this song for the first time, he was shocked and wanted to come to Zhongzhou to meet the creator in person.
In an environment like Nanzhou where the music industry was underdeveloped, Chen Ming could not have imagined how destructive his song would be to Nanzhou players.
As soon as this song came out, it directly destroyed all the psychological defenses of Nanzhou players.
There is only one thought in their minds: It sounds so good!
"150 million, signed for eight years, to be honest, we made the money!"
Situ Kong said softly.
Xia Zhihe nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he thought of what Chen Ming had said to him before: "Boss, before Chen Ming came on stage, he asked me a question, does our hero character have no lines?"
Lines?
Situ Kong frowned slightly, thinking about the meaning of this sentence.
Do heroic roles require lines?
No need...
As a boss,
The first thing Situ Kong considers is whether he can increase revenue by doing this.
He did not consider IP. After all, it is not easy for game companies to make a good game.
After thinking about it,
Situ Kong didn't think it was necessary.
to be honest,
Chen Ming must have a reason for asking this.
Situ Kong also knows that adding lines to heroic characters will definitely increase the fun of the game.
But the problem is,
Can I get my money back?
It costs a lot to hire a voice actor to record lines.
Furthermore,
There are more than a hundred heroes in "League of Legends". It is impossible to hire only one voice actor, but many.
Think about it carefully,
The cost is almost astronomical.
Situ Kong is rich, but he is not stupid.
There is no need to waste money on these areas where you can save money.
Thinking of this,
Situ Kong looked back at Chen Ming, who was singing on the stage.
at this time,
All 50,000 spectators at the venue were caught up in the carnival and joined in the passion of heavy metal rock music.
"What do you think?"
Situ Kong wanted to get Xia Zhihe's answer so that his decision would be firmer.
After a few seconds,
Xia Zhihe hesitated and said, "I think we can try it."
