There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

Time moves forward slightly.

The first time Li Yu triggered the final easter egg.

The various channels of Linmu Studio, the official accounts of domestic and overseas social media, the official websites of major games, the built-in email systems of major online games, and of course the Vaporwave game platform.

All at the same time, all players were notified of the news, and the live broadcast room that had been prepared long ago was opened.

As for the number and influence of game-related channels.

All the domestic and overseas game manufacturers combined are not enough for Linmu Studio to play...

Such a large-scale announcement of Linmu Studio, coupled with the fact that players have long been looking forward to the birth of "Number One Player".

So less than a minute.

Countless players flooded into the live broadcast room and began to wait!

Players also know that someone has already collected all the easter eggs.

What exactly is Linmu Studio going to do... the mystery is about to be revealed.

【I'm coming! 】

[Finally a boss has cleared the level! 】

[Hurry up, where's the picture? Why haven't you come out yet? 】

【What will it be? Does anyone know? 】

[Isn't it just to promote who is the number one player? 】

【…】

Countless players began to discuss while looking at the still picture.

After half a minute.

Forest Studio Headquarters.

The LED screen outside the building lit up...

Many passers-by, attracted attention, raised their heads and looked at the LED screen outside the Linmu Studio building.

At the same time, there was also a picture of the live broadcast room.

When the players saw the screen light up, they immediately stopped discussing.

But expected.

Congratulations to a certain player for becoming the 'Number One Player'. The words did not come out...

Instead, the screen scrolled the introduction of works corresponding to all the eggs in "Easter Egg Adventure".

During this time, those third-party works that players are familiar with because of easter eggs began to appear on the screen one by one in the form of text...

【 # 1 dice and siege crossbow. 】

[From the tabletop role-playing game "Dungeon", the game was first invented by an insurance company salesman in Wisconsin, and the first version of the game was released in 1974. The game had a great influence on role-playing games, and many subsequent games of the same genre were influenced by it. 】

【 # 7 is wrong. 】

[From the action role-playing online game "Fighter", independently developed by Tianhu Entertainment, it was released in public beta in 2002. It was a rare side-scrolling game at that time, and one of the bright pearls of the 2D online game era. 】

【 # 8 What exactly are you protecting? 】

[From the sci-fi-themed special series TV series "Giant of Light" launched in the 1960s, it pioneered the mode of "giant heroes and monsters fighting". 】

【…】

All works related to third-party easter eggs began to scroll on the screen at a moderate speed.

On the left is a thumbnail of the work, and on the right is a text description.

The introductions are not long, and most of them only have a few short sentences.

Players can finish watching, but only for a few seconds.

And this part is not very interesting.

After all, this is the same as the production staff list after the game is cleared.

can see.

But it's really unnecessary, ordinary players won't pay attention at all.

Logically speaking, players watched the live broadcast with full expectations, but finally saw such a boring introduction to the work, how could they be dissatisfied?

If it was an ordinary live stream, it would.

But it just so happens... this is no ordinary live broadcast.

"Easter Egg Adventure" has been open for a whole week.

The addition of countless third-party works of easter eggs has already broken the circle of this small game.

this week.

Countless people came here admiringly.

In addition to players, many comic readers and fans of film and television works also came to join in the fun.

They discussed the provenance of the Easter eggs and the classic works behind those Easter eggs.

As Mou Feng said...it's like participating in a carnival that everyone can participate in.

And with this experience.

now.

How could these viewers who watched the live broadcast feel bored after seeing the introduction of each of these works?

Not only are they not bored, but they even have the feeling of watching the closing ceremony of the carnival and ending their emotions...

Comment in real time.

As the works corresponding to the easter eggs continue to scroll and appear.

Players continue to see works they are familiar with, and then brush up their first experience of contacting these works.

Different people, different experiences, different titles.

Start co-occurring in the live comment section.

A very interesting and shocking scene was formed.

And this situation.

It lasted almost ten minutes.

Until the last easter egg appears.

The audience just stopped swiping the screen.

Pengcheng.

After Li Yu's game stopped, the page that jumped out was the live broadcast page.

Therefore, he also witnessed that interesting and shocking scene...

When the last easter egg scrolls and disappears off the edge of the screen.

[Number One Player: Redundant]

【Dedication】

New words slowly emerged and stayed in the center of the screen.

The end of the easter egg introduction.

Linmu Studio introduced the number one player of this Easter Egg Adventure to all audiences - redundant.

As soon as this scene comes out.

Real-time comments immediately flooded out with a bunch of 'Congratulations' and 'Nice'.

Countless spectators began to congratulate and praise the newly promoted number one player.

Li Yu stared at the congratulations and praises all over the screen, and froze in place.

He feels very subtle.

Excitement, joy, excitement...

Scratched his head.

Then.

Li Yu couldn't bear it anymore, and laughed out loud.

No matter how.

worth it!

at the same time.

sky fox.

Mou Feng looked at the words "dedicated with love" that slowly emerged at the end, and couldn't help but smile as well.

Linmu Studio really has a heart...Which player can stand up to this...

This not only satisfies the "number one player", but also gives all players participating in "Easter Egg Adventure" a point to vent their emotions.

have to say.

As expected of them.

Really play for them to understand.

Next, let's watch the forest carnival scene...

Mou Feng thought with some emotion, just came up with such an idea.

Meanwhile on the other side.

Many players also thought it was over, and they were digesting the emotional aftertaste.

Live page.

The words "devotion" and other words stayed for more than ten seconds, and then began to slowly disappear.

then.

clatter.

Accompanied by retro footstep sound effects, an old man wearing a cloak who is very familiar to the players suddenly walked out from the edge of the screen...

On the other side of the screen, another player was very familiar with. The original character they controlled in "Easter Egg Adventure" also came out. With the ID of 'excess' on his head, he greeted the old man.

Two pixel-style characters stay in the middle of the screen.

then.

Drip, drop.

Two ellipses appear.

Above the head of the old man in the cloak, a speech bubble emerged.

[These are all the foundations of the oasis. 】

【……oasis? 】The pixel character with the ID of 'excess' seemed a little curious, jumped up and down, and asked a question.

[Yes, Oasis. 】

[What is an oasis? 】

【………】

【Would you like to read the first love letter? 】

The silhouette of an old man in a cloak paused, but did not answer directly.

Instead, after two ellipses appeared, he suddenly asked a question.

"..."

This sudden scene.

In an instant, the attention of the players who were congratulating Li Yu was drawn back.

Comments in real time, gone in an instant.

Li Yu, who was laughing, was also taken aback.

He looked at the screen, looked at the pixel wind villain with his game ID on the screen, and looked confused... What is this?

until.

The familiar question appeared before his eyes again.

【Would you like to read the first love letter? 】

Li Yu was shocked, and his eyes widened suddenly.

etc!

Yes... love letter! ?

And on the screen.

Faced with this problem.

The pixel-style villain with Li Yu's ID did not hesitate for long.

soon.

A new bubble frame appeared above his head.

"yes."

And with this 'yes' appears.

Originally, there was only a monotonous eight-bit machine sound effect in the live broadcast room.

The painting style changes!

Accompanied by the sound of paper flipping.

A brilliant performance was staged.

Countless letters flew out suddenly and swept over.

then.

When the letter covers the lens.

The screen goes dark.

when turned back on.

on the screen.

The LOGO of Linmu Studio, which is very familiar to all audiences, slowly emerged and was fixed in the center of the screen...

Next, there is the LOGO of the film distributor in cooperation with Linmu Studio.

Just watched the beginning.

Live comment section.

Countless question marks popped up.

The audience in front of the screen was all dumbfounded.

Fuck! ?

etc! !

Could it be... a new work! ? ? ?

No way! ! ?

Just when the players came up with this idea.

It makes people feel cheerful and joyful, and the rhythmic BGM suddenly sounds!

In the real-time comment area, there are more question marks.

Because some players instantly recognized which song it was...

It is this world, the masterpiece of the most iconic rock group of the 90s.

And in this year's "Easter Egg Adventure", there is an easter egg of this song! ! !

etc! ! !

Forest Studio! You wait for me! ! !

Countless players heard the familiar melody and frantically knocked on the question mark.

And the live broadcast room.

Promos, of course, can't wait.

Accompanied by familiar rock music.

The screen appeared...

[This is the Oasis World. 】

On the screen, in the messy compartment, the actor picked up the VR glasses and slowly put them on his head.

then.

Accompanied by his introduction.

The camera moves and enters the VR glasses.

Dazzling lines fill the eyes and extend infinitely forward, as if leading the player into another dimension.

then.

The screen changed.

The dazzling game world appeared in front of all audiences...

[This is a completely virtual universe. 】

[In Oasis, people do whatever they want. 】

[People stay here and can be anyone. 】

With the introduction of the protagonist.

Shots of city transformations appear in the frame.

The first easter egg of the promotional video appeared.

on the racing track.

The protagonist looks for a place, and then directly passes by a man in a white robe and a hood.

When the protagonist passed by, the man swiped and flashed the Hidden Blade.

"???????!"

Live comment section.

If the player still can't tell who it is, then their game is useless.

So, question marks once again filled the entire screen instantly...

then.

The screen changed again.

The protagonist goes to the bar and passes by two guests who are about to leave the bar.

And those two people, although they only had a glimpse, many viewers recognized them at a glance, they are the super villains in the American manga...

This audience is also very familiar... because this tm also appeared in "Easter Egg Adventure"!

"??????????????"

Then.

The promotional film began to explain the main story of the whole movie.

Oasis, the creator of this virtual universe is dead.

But in the game, he buried an easter egg, and the first person to find it can not only inherit 500 billion, but also take over the entire oasis!

And what the movie wants to tell is the process of players and careerists fighting wits and courage with each other in order to find eggs...

This is not difficult to understand.

Players don't have time to understand for the time being!

Because the main story has been explained.

After an explosion.

The screen starts to switch rapidly.

More characters familiar to players appear!

"King Kong!!!"

Empire State Building.

The chimpanzee with the same name as Lin Yao's previous work looked down at the camera and then jumped down.

Immediately after...

"Steel Behemoth!"

"Ghost doll!"

"Giant of Light!"

"BT!"

Most of the images in the promotional video are fleeting.

but.

Just the names of these characters are called out.

It was enough for the audience to stand up...

The audience is also aware of what this work represents...

The number of question marks in the real-time comment area has reached a terrifying level...

And wait for the promo to end.

above the glacier.

Armageddon.

Characters from various games, comics, animations, and movies appear in the camera.

Among them are classic old characters.

There are also new characters from Woods Studios' latest game.

There are giant light giants, BTs, iron behemoths, tyrants.

There are tiny ghost dolls, Pokémon...

Of course, there are superheroes in normal proportions, the coven of witches in the game...

In short.

All kinds of pop culture, all in one go! A hodgepodge of them appearing on the same scene! !

The real-time comment area exploded instantly! ! !

Just two minutes.

The real-time comment system is broken.

It just collapsed! !

This leads to, promos at the end.

When the movie title and release date come out.

The entire live broadcast room was quiet.

nothing happened...

【"Ready Player One"】

[July 1st. 】

The movie title and release date are fixed in the center of the live broadcast room.

But the studio was as calm as water.

certainly.

It's just an appearance...

Under the calm water surface, in fact, there are already stormy waves.

The players, like the real-time comment system, have already exploded...

...

Live website headquarters.

Every time Linmu Studio broadcasts live, the live broadcast website is prepared. On the one hand, the live broadcast website depends on Linmu Studio for food to a certain extent.

On the other hand, every time Linmu Studio broadcasts live, there is a lot of movement...

So every time they broadcast live, the live broadcast website takes it very seriously, and will arrange special personnel to watch it, and solve problems immediately when they encounter problems.

For example, the real-time comment system crashed or something...

Usually, if it really breaks down, it can basically be repaired quickly, after all, there are special people watching.

But this time, it's different...

"—Mom!!!"

shouted loudly.

Suddenly spread throughout the floor.

Attract countless eyes.

At a certain work station, a young man suddenly stood up, raised his hands above his head, his face was flushed, and he was so excited that he couldn't control himself.

He didn't mind other people's stares at all, and after yelling, he bent down again and started clapping frantically in the live broadcast room, "Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck Fuck!" ! ! '.

He knew the live comment system was broken.

he knows! He is the one in charge of watching the live broadcast room!

But now he can't care about it at all!

Because it's really awesome!

..."Ready Player One"! ! !

He will die today! I have to finish these dozen shits!

Otherwise he will suffocate! ! !

And at the same time.

sky fox.

Mou Feng maintained the original sitting posture, staring at the screen motionless.

Nothing has changed.

Except for his expression.

After the promo is played.

His expression began to change.

Astonishment, shock, disbelief... Various expressions began to appear on his face one by one as the promotional video played.

This is no outsider.

Otherwise, you must sigh when you see it... It turns out that human expressions can be so complicated.

In the end, Mou Feng's face was numb.

But he still stared and opened his mouth.

Why did Linmu Studio add so many easter eggs from third-party works in "Easter Egg Adventure"?

He thought about countless possibilities.

But now this possibility... He really didn't think about it, let alone think about it.

He never even thought about it.

The promotional video is halfway through.

He still can't believe it.

... tm easter eggs make a movie! ?

until.

The promotion ends, and the release date and title of the movie appear.

"Ready Player One" was reflected in his pupils.

Only then did he really believe... This is not a joke.

Because this movie...is called "Ready Player One"!

Look at the movie title.

moment.

Mou Feng remembered many things.

There are rumors that Linmu Studio is constantly conducting copyright negotiations, the theme of "Love Letter" at Linmu Carnival, changes in "Easter Egg Adventure"...and, just now, the live broadcast of third-party works of Easter eggs was introduced.

It was premeditated.

Such a thought suddenly popped up...

Mou Feng slowly closed his mouth, then looked at the screen, looked at the quiet live broadcast room, and let out a long sigh.

then.

Expectation, marvel, bitterness, envy, admiration...

Various emotions were staged on his face again.

Human expressions are...really rich.

Of course, Mou Feng didn't know how complicated his expression was.

He looked at the live broadcast room, and there was only one thought left at the moment.

Really... they deserved their success! ! !

This tm... who can resist it! ! ! !

...

Pengcheng.

not long ago.

Before getting the final easter egg.

Li Yu thought about countless possibilities.

A love letter... what exactly is it like?

And he felt at the time that no matter what was written in the love letter, he would not be surprised.

but.

He really didn't expect that the so-called 'love letter' would look like this...

Watch the promo in its entirety.

"Easter Egg Adventure"...the theme of the love letter...the love letter...everything is connected in series.

Yes.

This love letter has no words.

not a single one.

But it is more shocking than any words...

"Love letter... damn it!!!"

Looking at the live broadcast, Li Yu felt as if thunder was falling in his mind, and his whole body trembled.

Got goosebumps all over!

...

"Linmu Studio—Awesome!!!!"

at the same time.

Outside the forest studio headquarters.

Large LED screen.

The promotional video of "Ready Player One" is also being played.

And there are quite a few players watching the promotional video outside the building at the moment.

When they saw the end of the promo.

All kinds of characters appear in the same scene like a hodgepodge.

Excited, a player jumped up and roared.

Like a sudden onset.

This scared a little girl nearby who was watching the excitement...

"...Dad, why is brother so excited?"

The little girl looked at the screaming player, and immediately hid aside, then looked up at her father, and asked a question suspiciously.

Her father also looked up at the imaginative picture on the screen.

Although he doesn't know most of the characters.

But he was also young...

He still saw two characters he knew and was familiar with.

And it was precisely because of these two familiar characters that he, who was just watching the fun, remembered many things.

Those dusty handles, those CDs that no longer have a CD drive to read, those friends who have disappeared, and the antique game console that now has no adapter for the TV...

until.

The daughter's voice sounded.

He just came back to his senses, smiled knowingly, then glanced at the excited young man, looked down at his daughter, and replied softly: "Brother may have seen something I like..."

...

As soon as "Ready Player One" was announced...the popularity immediately exploded!

Live website.

The real-time comment system collapsed, and the player's mood at that moment could not be expressed.

But that doesn't mean anywhere else, nor can it be expressed.

If the movie is just an ordinary announcement.

The effect is probably not that exaggerated.

But the movie was announced at the end of "Easter Egg Adventure"...Linmu Studio slowly laid the groundwork, step by step to arouse the emotions of the players, and finally detonated completely.

Coupled with the natural high universality of the carrier of movies.

As Mou Feng said.

Who can resist this tm...

The live broadcast just ended, less than half an hour.

"Ready Player One" rushed to the top of the hot search list!

Those who play games and those who don't, join in the discussion!

community of players.

That's even more terrifying.

without any exaggeration.

This day... belongs entirely to Ready Player One.

If we say that players still had doubts about the theme of this year's carnival, "Love Letter".

After the announcement of "Ready Player One"...all doubts disappeared.

Because they really can't find...a better metaphor than a love letter.

[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Forest Studio! ! ! 】

[With so many copyrights, you can imagine how much effort Linmu Studio has spent... There are so many works in my memory. Really, I am getting older, and I cried when I saw the promotional video!

Linmu Studio is now the god in my mind! God forever! ! ! 】

[Decades of history in the development of electronic products seem to be condensed at that moment, plus I just experienced "Easter Egg Adventure"... It's really exciting and exciting. This should be the best I have received in my life. It's a 'love letter'... Facts have proved that Lin Yao will always be the producer who understands players best. 】

【At the end of the promotional video, it was like the sky was split open, and then ice was poured into the head, refreshing from head to toe! A love letter... Maybe only Linmu Studio can write such a love letter. 】

【Buy me a ticket! ! ! Buy me a ticket! ! ! 】

【Lin Yao... Thank you. 】

【…】

no doubt.

Ready Player One...succeeded.

...

the next day.

Forest studio.

Qi Jianhua, who spent a night on social media yesterday, went straight to the operation department as soon as he came to the company.

Although he already has a general understanding of the feedback from the players.

But without seeing the specific data, he is still worried...

half an hour later.

Qi Jianhua successfully obtained the relevant data of various dimensions after the release of "Ready Player One" given by the operation department.

After seeing the terrifying data.

Qi Jianhua immediately showed joy, and then rushed directly to Lin Yao's office.

"Lin Yao!"

Excited.

Qi Jianhua didn't even knock on the door, just pushed the door open and walked in.

Then he yelled.

"..."

But there was no sign of Lin Yao in the office, and it wasn't even Mu Wanqing who stayed in the office.

It was the person in charge of the marketing department, Xi Qianyu.

She is watering the green plants on Lin Yao's desk.

"Why are you here? Where's Lin Yao?" Qi Jianhua was stunned when he saw her.

"Returning Lin Yao...she ran away a long time ago."

Xi Qianyu sighed when she heard the words, and put down the small shower: "With Manager Mu...Three days ago, Manager Mu had completed all the handover of work, including watering."

She pointed to the green plants on the table.

"—Ah???" Qi Jianhua was stunned, with question marks all over his head.

"It seems that I didn't tell your product department."

Xi Qianyu glanced at his expression, and immediately understood the cause and effect, and smiled helplessly: "I probably don't want to affect you, but it's normal to think about it... The administrative department has nothing to do with you, so there is no need to mention it. As for Lin Yao, I can't find a substitute for this, so it's better not to say..."

Xi Qianyu was still talking.

But Qi Jianhua didn't listen at all, and just stayed where he was.

run away?

Really don't even give people time to feel sorry for?

... so handsome?

He lowered his head slowly, looked at Lin Yao's desk, showing a helpless look.

Of course, there are also some disappointments.

"I finished watering...do you have anything else to do?"

At this time.

Xi Qianyu awakened Qi Jianhua.

Qi Jianhua glanced at her, then retreated to the door.

Xi Qianyu came out, closed the office door, patted him on the shoulder, and left.

She could understand the feelings of the staff in these product departments and what Lin Yao meant to them, but she really couldn't help.

Qi Jianhua still froze in place and did not respond.

After a long time.

He just came back to his senses, smiled in a dazed way, and was about to turn around and leave.

But the moment he turned around, out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed the sign on Lin Yao's office door...

He paused, then immediately stopped and turned around.

And after seeing the content on the sign clearly...

Qi Jianhua froze in place again.

Then, he shook his head helplessly, with a little relief, finally looked at the sign, turned and left dumbfounded.

And soon...

Calm was restored in front of Lin Yao's office.

There are still staff passing by Lin Yao's office.

Everything seemed to be no different from countless ordinary working days in the past.

Really have to say something different.

Probably the sign at the door of Lin Yao's office.

Originally, there was only a sign with Lin Yao's name on it, but at some point, a few words were added——

[Lin Yao [I'm on vacation——]]

I tried my best, but I can only write to this extent... Sorry,
