Chapter 442 Awards Ceremony

phone-reading

The night of the awards ceremony.

All designers know that any lecture or exchange meeting is empty. The real highlight is the award ceremony in the evening.

Those lectures are all support scenes, and the awards ceremony in the evening represents the achievements and honors the designers have won this year.

Designers entered the venue one after another. When Chen Mo and others entered, there were already many people on the scene.

This year's awards ceremony seems to be more grand than in previous years. Although the venue has not changed, it is more gorgeously arranged, and there are special cameras to record the whole process of this awards ceremony.

Moreover, several video sites have also begun to broadcast simultaneously.

This year was the first time the awards ceremony was broadcast live. The technical conditions of the previous award ceremony were completely fine. The reason why there was no live broadcast was only because the leaders of the tourism committee did not want to arrange it, because this award ceremony was mainly a matter of the designers and the tourism committee, and had little to do with the players. .

However, this year, the leaders of the Tourism Committee probably wanted to expand the influence of this awards ceremony so that more players can participate, so for the first time, the live broadcast was arranged so that all players could see it.

Although the live broadcast was arranged, it was not so fanciful. It just opened a live broadcast room on several live broadcast platforms and video websites, and the popularity was not too high.

But even so, there are hundreds of thousands of viewers watching.

On the barrage, many viewers are discussing.

"Why haven't you started yet?"

"Hurry up and announce the awards!"

"The Game of the Year "Prosperous Tang" is perfect!"

"Will there be "League of Legends"?"

"Can I see Chen Mo? Where is Chen Mo?"

"Those in the front row are all S-class designers? Who are they? It's too far to see..."

The awards ceremony has not officially started, so the current picture is still the entrance screen of the designers. Most of these audiences are players who have paid more attention to the game industry in the first place, prefer VR and stand-alone games, and a small number of them are new and random.

Chen Mo, Zhang Xiaokong and others entered the venue together, and the staff also dutifully showed them the way.

To Chen Mo's surprise, this year, his seat was not with Zhang Xiaokong and Qiu Hengyang, but at the very front.

Looking around, he didn't even have an acquaintance, which made Chen Mo very embarrassed.

Zhang Xiaokong said: "Sure enough, your status in the eyes of the leaders of the tourism committee is different, but it's no longer the time to sit with us before. Hurry up and have a good time with the designers of Emperor Dynasty and Zen. Yo."

Chen Mo: "..."

The seats are all arranged in advance. Except for the leader in the front row, the seats are basically seated from front to back according to the designer's level. The first two rows are basically S-level designers, and then there are A-level and B-level designers, and so on.

Of course, there are also distinctions between designers of the same level. Some A-level designers already have several masterpieces, and they must sit higher.

As for Chen Mo, he was placed in a more sensitive position, in the first two rows, but on the side.

Because Chen Mo is currently strictly speaking A+, not S, but the S-level designer didn't fill two rows, and there were still two or three vacant seats, so Chen Mo was stuffed in.

Obviously, in the eyes of some leaders of the Tourism Committee, Chen Mo is basically one step away from the S-class.

Chen Mo basically knew the other S-level designers, but they never spoke or dealt with them. Because most of these designers are affiliated with Dichao Entertainment and Zen Entertainment, and Chen Mo and these two companies do not deal with it very much.

There are also individual independent designers, but that kind of designers are more solitary, busy playing games, rarely show up in public, and even less chance to get in touch.

Seeing Chen Mo coming, most of the S-class designers kept a polite distance.

The reason here is more complicated.

Literacy is one aspect. As S-level designers, everyone must be a bit arrogant. Discord between companies is also another aspect. After all, Lei Ting Interactive Entertainment is not dealing with Emperor Chao and Zen Yi, especially Lin Chaoxu and Liu Yuanfeng. In secret, Chen Mo was so angry that they threw the table, and it was not good for these designers to be too close to Chen Mo as employees.

As for these S-class designers, why they want to join Emperor Dynasty and Zen Entertainment is another matter.

Because making games is relatively high-reward but also high-risk, these large-scale VR games often invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. It’s natural to make a profit, but what if you lose? Most S-Class designers can't take that risk either.

The biggest advantage of joining a big company such as Dichao and Zenyi is that it can avoid risks. R&D funds and promotion are all worrying about the company. It doesn’t matter if you lose money, anyway, it is the company that loses money. You can earn a lot yourself.

Considering it comprehensively, joining a large company can effectively avoid risks, and these designers can create without any worries.

There are specializations in the art industry. Most of the designers are only good at designing games, but they don’t know anything about company operations, publicity, etc., so these big companies are also attractive to S-level designers.

As for Chen Mo, it is completely a special case. There are very few designers like him who started from scratch, not only developing games, but also making channels, and also being their own boss, so they have become an anomaly.

Just as Chen Mo sat down, the designer next to him turned around.

"Chen Mo? I've admired it for a long time."

Chen Mo saw that he knew this person, Ran He, an S-level designer of Zen Entertainment, who was also the producer of "Fire Assault".

Ran He is also a relatively old S-level designer in China, and he specializes in FPS games and has a certain reputation in the game industry.

Chen Mo hurriedly said: "Don't dare to be, you are a senior."

Ran He smiled: "What seniors are nothing more than entering the industry a few years ago. When "Overwatch" came out this year, the momentum is booming. If nothing else happens this year, the game of the year should be your "Overwatch", you That's the S-Class."

The two chatted for a while.

As the designer of FPS games, Ran He obviously has studied "Overwatch" a lot, and he is also very clear about the innovation of this game for FPS games, so he is so optimistic.

As for himself, he just finished updating a major version of "Fire Assault" this year, and the new game is still under preparation, so there are no works that can participate in the selection for the time being.

S-level designers like these have long passed the truncation of winning by quantity, and it would be good to be able to produce a work in two or three years.

This is especially true for designers like Ran He and Qin Xiao, who have designed high-quality games. Generally, new projects are not opened frequently. They must give priority to the operation of old projects, and only consider opening new projects when the lifespan of old projects is almost reached. of.

It's not like Chen Mo, who releases several games a year, as if he doesn't want money.
