i'm crazy about home

Chapter 189 The Divine Comedy
In the early morning, to be honest, the sky is still dim, and the luminous trees still emit a faint light.But at this moment, Zheng Lu was doing brutal morning exercises.Fortunately, Fang Xin was really hard to see his appearance, and she shouldn't be too heavy at the beginning of the training, so she only ran halfway and let Zheng Lu rest.

The place to rest is a small park, where the oxygen is very abundant, suitable for rest.Zheng Lu was running out of breath at this time, unable to speak half a word, his legs could no longer move.Trembling, I found a bench, sat down and refused to move.

"Look, you're exhausted. If you don't know, you'll think you've gone to the Long March!"

Fang Xin handed over the towel and asked Zheng Lu to wipe off his sweat. It was almost raining all over his body.Zheng Lu hasn't calmed down yet, he just breathed heavily, and didn't even move his hands lazily.Fang Xin had no choice but to help him wipe off the sweat on his face, and then used the kettle he carried with him to pick up a jar of juice under the water source tree, and brought it back to quench Zheng Lu's thirst.

"Compared to yesterday, I ran a longer distance. It's not bad. Keep working hard and try to finish the race in one month."

Zheng Lu smiled wryly for a while, the goal was set too fast.It's only been more than a week since I participated in this morning exercise, and I'm as tired as a dead dog every day. When I go to work, I can't lift my legs, so I can only sit in the studio.After the students knew the reason, they made fun of Zheng Lu for a while.

"By the way, I heard that your game was sniped by several big companies. Is it true?"

This matter was also widely spread among students, so Fang Xin also heard about it.After this incident, Zheng Lu never responded. Some people even said that Zheng Lu was scared and was preparing to retreat.However, Fang Xin didn't believe it. Zheng Lu still had a certain degree of confidence in game development, and it was impossible to retreat before the war started.Fang Xin was worried that this sniper attack would affect the results of "The Last Ark" and make Zheng Lu feel uncomfortable.

"Whether it's true or not, we'll meet anyway, and it's easier to get together now."

Zheng Lu did not expect that this game would cause such disputes, but Zheng Lu still had some expectations in his heart to be able to fight against these game veterans.Zheng Lu also wanted to respond, but he was so focused on the game that he forgot about it in the end.But anyway, in the end, it all depends on the quality of the game, so I let others guess.

Zheng Lu also told the students what he meant. This is a rare opportunity. He must show his own level and compare with foreign strong players to see what he can do.As for winning or losing, don't worry about it. It's good to win, but it doesn't matter if you lose.

Fujiiichi is also quite embarrassed now. Originally, he only came here to exchange and study, but he did not expect to become a competitor in the end.When the news from above came, he also felt a little caught off guard.

"Fujii, you are a leader among the younger generation in the Japanese game industry. Asking you to compete with China is also a comparison with your peers to see what level their strength is. So you don't have to have any psychological burden. Just let go and do it.”

Nintendo is still a little confident, and doesn't want to leave a mouth to say that the big bullies the small.I heard that Fujiiichi and Zheng Lu were classmates. Although they were not of the same age, they were barely of the same generation, so I appointed Fujiiichi to do this.At the same time, it also meant to motivate Fujii Kazu. After all, he was fighting against his junior, and his fighting spirit would definitely increase.

"The Last Ark" has expanded its fame because of this obvious battle.Especially foreign players, they are also curious about what kind of game it is that can make the three major console manufacturers value it so much, so they also paid more or less attention to this game.This can be regarded as a windfall.

Relevant foreign media also believe that if new hosts want to enter the international market, they must accept the baptism of established hosts.If you can survive this hurdle, you will naturally have a bright future. If you can't, you still have to think about it in China for a while.As a result, a battle between games escalated into a battle between console manufacturers under the exaggeration of the outside world.

"Little Glasses, now you have to fight for your strength. Now the outside world is paying more and more attention to this battle. If you fail, everyone will be disappointed with Banzhai University, and Pangu's external defeat will also have a certain impact."

With the development of public opinion, the situation has become more and more uncontrollable. In the eyes of netizens, it has almost evolved into a life-and-death battle between host manufacturers.But this is just a game in the end, and there is some connection with the host, but it will never be so big.

But after infinite amplification, an idea has formed in the hearts of netizens, if the game fails, it means the failure of the console.Therefore, Zheng Lu can't fail now, at least get the second or third place in the battle of the top four.

There are two theaters, Asia and Europe and America.As long as one of these two areas occupies a better position, it will be much easier to publicize.This goal is still possible, because it is not difficult for Zheng Lu to win several million copies in the Asian region, and this result should ensure his ranking in the Asian region.The problem lies in the European and American theaters, which are a brand new region, and Zheng Lu's reputation will not be of any use.Moreover, all three of his host companies have been in business for a long time, so it seems a little difficult to achieve good results.

Aiming at this point, Zheng Lu planned to use some small means, that is to ask Halbert to help compose the song.Of course, it is very difficult to invite him. As a visiting professor, Halbert does not have to abide by the regulations that he must participate in the project within one year, so no group has successfully invited him for more than a year.But Zheng Lu is confident that he can invite him because he has a secret weapon.

"Zheng Lu, you have to understand, Mr. Halbert has never made music for anyone, including the game team and animation team."

Zheng Lu found Han Luoqi from the Teachers' Association and asked to establish a contract with Halbert.This surprised Han Luoqi a little. Halbert was notoriously difficult to recruit, but because of his superb skills, many people refused to give up and hired him again and again. Unexpectedly, now Zheng Lu is also eyeing him.

"President Han, don't worry, since I dare to ask, I will naturally have my way."

Seeing that what Zheng Lu said was very certain, Han Luoqi stopped talking too much, so she helped Zheng Lu to contact Halbert.Not surprisingly, when Halbert heard that it was a contract, he immediately rejected it.However, his attitude is still very polite. He still has some resistance to the use of elegant music in animation games.

"Mr. Halbert, I know you don't want to make game music, but things are a little different this time. I want to talk to you face to face. If you still don't want to after the talk, I won't force it."

It is understandable that there are differences in outlook on life and values, so Zheng Lu does not intend to argue with him with any rationale.It really takes a lot of wisdom to change other people's values, because even a robber would have his morals, and Zheng Lu couldn't do it on his own, so his plan was to come up with some strange tricks.Halbert agreed to the interview request, and they made an appointment to meet.

"Young man, don't talk to me about games being art, it doesn't work for me."

As soon as he sat down, Halbert spoke.This kind of rhetoric had been mentioned to him before, but Halbert didn't listen to a word.He doesn't think the game is vulgar, but he thinks that players can easily ignore the existence of music when playing games, so he doesn't want elaborate music to become an accessory.

"Hehe, of course I know this. I won't say these things. Actually, it's not that I want to invite you to compose the music. The inviter is someone else, and he is the mysterious composer."

"What, it's him!?"

Zheng Lu's words were quite shocking, and finally made Halbert lose color.The reason why he taught at Banzhai University was because of the existence of the mysterious composer, and the collection of books in Banzhai's library fascinated him even more.But it's a pity that even if he carefully studied the music textbooks of the last level, he still couldn't make the cut.Most importantly, the mysterious composer did not appear once, which made him extremely disappointed.

"Is what you said true? Does the mysterious composer want to see me?"

Halbert was a little carried away, holding Zheng Lu's hand and not letting go.Unfortunately, it is impossible for Zheng Lu to reveal his identity.

"I don't want to meet, but I want to collaborate with you on a piece of music. The mysterious composer has already completed the first half of the piece, so I invite you to continue the second half."

Then Zheng Lu took out half a piece of music.This half piece of music is the last work of a peerless musician in the world of the glasses girl, but it is a pity that he passed away halfway through, which made many people feel regretful.Many people try to make the second half, but they can't reach the perfect state.This half of the piece alone is already a famous piece, which makes people have infinite reverie for the second half, and it is a piece of inspiration for composers of later generations.

Halbert knows his stuff, and this half of the piece has completely conquered him.Listening to this piece of music, infinite notes seemed to dance in his mind, and endless melodies flowed.But there is no one that satisfies him and can be matched with this piece of music.

"Mr. Halbert, the mysterious composer saw you studying so hard, and admired your skills, so he wanted to compose a piece with you, as a way to learn from each other. But because there is no middleman to introduce, so he found me, I hope you I wouldn't mind using this song in a game. I promise, I will make a separate record for this song and promote it!"

What else does Halbert care about? Isn't what he wants is to compete with the mysterious composer? How could he pass up such an opportunity?As for using it in the game, although he was a little displeased, compared with the mysterious composer, this dislike is nothing compared to the big witch, so he let it go.

"Alright young man, tell the mysterious composer for me, I will definitely make a perfect sequel!"

Halbert accepted Zheng Lu's piece, and then left in a hurry. He is full of music and thinking, and he is busy rushing back to create.

Zheng Lu was overjoyed seeing this, he didn't care if the sequel was perfect or not, as long as it was done by Halbert!A Chinese mysterious composer, an internationally renowned composer, and a large-scale symphony of Sino-foreign cooperation. This is a big gimmick. It is definitely good to publicize the results achieved abroad.

Zheng Lu's influence abroad is too low, so he came up with this trick.Although many foreign players may not know Halbert, but those media do. As long as they publicize it, this gimmick will come out.In addition, this also helps to weaken the hostility of some foreign players, giving them a sense of identity and reducing unnecessary resistance.

"Little glasses, I didn't expect you to be good at publicity. You have one trick after another."

"That's right, brother Zheng Lu is like a profiteer."

"Nonsense, I'm a good person, I was forced to do this!"

To be honest, these are all small tricks for publicity, and Zheng Lu didn't want to use them at all.But the current form is already difficult to ride a tiger, so any means that may help, Zheng Lu will use it.But the most important point is to improve "The Last Ark". After all, whether the game is fun or not is the biggest determinant of sales.

As soon as Halbert agreed, Zheng Lu announced the news that night, so everyone took it for granted that this news was Zheng Lu's response to the other three major game companies.But this response is amazing. The mysterious composer and Halbert's diamond combination are simply shining.

Banzhai University finally makes a move!The collaboration between two major Chinese and foreign composers, the Divine Comedy will be released soon!
The game media have long been hyping the news that the four major doomsday shooting games will gather for the summer vacation, and Zheng Lu's response made them even more excited.What kind of news is the hottest right now?It is the news that can fight!Professor Zheng Lu from Banzhai University is fighting against the three mainframe companies by himself. How can such a battle not be popular?
Players were also teased, one by one expressed that they would support Zheng Lu with practical actions, that domestic games must be played abroad, and it would be best if they could completely suppress the three main consoles and feel proud.

Looking at the extremely popular posts on the Internet, many teachers from the game development department of Banzhai University understand that the game "The Last Ark" is not dare to say abroad, and it must be the number one in China. I really don't know how lucky this kid Zheng Lu should be. Say good or bad.

The bad thing is that the game has been attacked by the three major host companies, and the future is bleak, but the Immortal Banzhai strongly supports it, not only dispatching the mysterious composer, but also luring Halbert out.He, who was indifferent to game music before, unexpectedly joined Zheng Lu's group. This could only be due to the mysterious composer.

Halbert's role may not be great in China, but it is a big publicity point abroad.John is now making a big fuss by using this point, and various advertisements have come out. He even invited a few reporters to interview Professor Halbert on TV at Banzhai University.

At this moment, foreign players also roughly understood that the composer of this game turned out to be quite remarkable, and being able to invite such a master made this game a bit worth seeing.Little by little, "The Last Ark" has become well known to foreign players.

"This half-house university is really interesting. It can actually invite such a master of music."

Danny, the director of Microsoft's game development team, stroked the beard on his chin and pondered.Although music is not the key to the outcome, it bears the brunt as a promotional subject.The next step is CG video promotion and actual video promotion.It has to be said that in this first battle, China's Banzhai University can be said to have won first.

"Don't worry! The quality of the game is the key to winning or losing! Next, we can't use tricks like this, let's use our strength to speak!"

Danny continued to encourage the demon group.This team was just discovered by Microsoft. It is a young and powerful team. However, because it is young, it lacks development experience, and it is a bit impatient when encountering such a thing.So Danny stimulated them from time to time, and then continued to encourage them, so that the team could grow rapidly.

To say that this game music is really not what the United States pays attention to.They pay more attention to the effect of the game, refreshing and real!Plot is not their strong point, let alone touching people.So they don't care about the loss of this first propaganda war.

But they don't care but some people care, Japan's Sony is one of them.Music is their forte. Every time the grand finale game will be arranged by first-class composers, and then popular singers will be invited to sing.Classic songs coupled with classic plots, but their specialty, was suppressed at this point, and they were a little unconvinced.

"Bastard! We must not let them be so arrogant! Get me the best composer in the country, and we must suppress them!"

The tempers of the people in the Sony game team have also come up, and they must not lose in terms of momentum.After he hired the most popular composer in the country, he also announced the news on the Internet, and at the same time he will hold a large-scale concert of the new song, which obviously means to fight.

Because Fujii and the others are in China, it is not convenient for them to do this. They even invited a composer from Hanzhai University to compose the music, which is surprising.

"Let them compete if they are willing to fight. Our goal is the Chinese market, so it is not a problem to lower our stance and even cooperate with them."

This was the message from the people above to Fujii, so Fujii decided to hire people from Hanzhai University directly for the singer.Anyway, there are three language versions, all of which are required.

Of the three mainframe manufacturers, only one started to fight, while the other two ignored it, and the other played the local card instead.No one expected such a result, but there are a lot of speculations about their different approaches.

However, these speculations are irrelevant. Everyone is waiting to see if the Divine Comedy jointly produced by the mysterious composer and Halbert can overwhelm Sony's commercial masterpiece.
