Fish-Catching Internet Cafe.
Pei Qian sipped his coffee as he flipped through the latest news.
The Cold-Faced Lady had sold her shares and made a huge profit. That was a huge blow to Pei Qian. Where to spend the money that he earned had become a very troubling problem for him.
"It seems like there hasn't been any good news for a long time …"
Recently, there had been a lot of problems. He had casually invested in FV Club, but the club had won the championship in a blink of an eye. Pei Qian had personally arrived at the scene, but it had been made into a world-famous painting. Even the Cold-Faced Lady had made a huge profit and had an additional sum of money that he did not know where to spend.
Uncomfortable!
Pei Qian felt melancholic. Even the coffee in Fish-Catching Internet Cafe was no longer fragrant.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he browsed the web.
"Long Yu Corporation released a special promotional video for IOI's local server? Not bad, not bad. They're finally doing something. "
"That's good news. Do something, IOI!"
Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed. Indeed, he had to look at IOI when it came to good news!
Dayak Corporation, Finger Games, and Long Yu Corporation were finally able to put some pressure on GOG when the three large companies joined forces.
Pei Qian immediately clicked on the promotional video.
On Aili Island's website, this promotional video had already been released for two to three hours. It was currently trending, and all sorts of bullet screen comments and comments were increasing rapidly.
"Not bad, it's quite handsome!"
"It's a little similar to the promotional video for GOG's international invitational tournament. However, Shanghai's scenery was praised, and the domestic market was specially praised. Long Yu Corporation has finally done something!"
"The FV team members don't seem to be the same as the others. It's hard to look away from them!"
"The moral is not bad, the lines are not bad. Long Yu Corporation is still very formal in the promotional video. It's already worth encouraging that they did not lose to Tengda."
Some viewers might feel that IOI's promotional video was imitating GOG's promotional video, but there was no need to nitpick.
After all, promotional videos were more similar in style. As long as there were no obvious signs of plagiarism in terms of actions, camera angles, and creativity, there was no need to hold on to it.
Long Yu Corporation obviously did not intend to plagiarize. They only hired the same top-notch filming team and used a similar E-Sports style. The players' movements, details, lines, and other aspects were all original based on IOI. Thus, the reviews were not bad.
In addition, Long Yu Corporation had hired some fake reviewers. Thus, this promotional video was very popular and received positive reviews on various forums and websites.
Pei Qian could not help but nod in approval.
Look, this is a good example of copying homework!
The promotional video for GOG's international invitational tournament had already given the standard answers. It would be too much if IOI could not even copy it.
The current situation was quite good. As long as Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation worked a little harder and followed behind GOG, they would fight a price war and engage in unfair competition. Pei Qian would be thankful.
"It looks like Dayak Corporation is sparing no expense to organize the IOI World Competition. It should be worth looking forward to. Hopefully, we'll be able to steal all the limelight from GOG's spring competition. "
Pei Qian closed the promotional video with a beautiful vision.
However, when he subconsciously refreshed the page, he found a new update.
GOG had an official account on Aili Island. Pei Qian followed it as well. This new update was posted by GOG's official account.
The title of the video was: GPL Spring Competition Promotional Video!
Pei Qian was stunned for a moment. He looked at the time of the release. It was a minute ago.
Obviously, they had immediately released the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition after seeing that IOI had released a promotional video for the international competition that was specially provided by the local server. They wanted to compete with IOI.
This film had most likely been prepared recently, but it had not been released. They had come to snatch the popularity when they saw IOI release the promotional video.
Pei Qian was speechless. What a mess!
So what if they gave IOI some popularity?!
Why were the people from the E-Sports Department so petty!
Pei Qian had not heard that they were filming the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition recently. Thus, he was still holding onto some hope. What if the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition was not as good as IOI's?
Wouldn't the popularity be sent to IOI's mouth if they lost?
With this mentality, Pei Qian opened the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition.
This video was also about three minutes long, slightly longer than IOI's promotional video.
There was no logo at the beginning of the video. Instead, it went straight to the point. It was probably at the end.
…
On the light yellow rice paper, a few strokes quickly outlined the scene of the ancient battlefield.
In the desolate wilderness, the mountains had collapsed, the riverbeds had dried up, and the ground was filled with cracks. Skeletons and armor were piled up like a mountain. Spears stood unyieldingly, and incomplete flags fluttered on them.
A few crows pecked at the pile of corpses, their eyes glowing strangely.
Suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky in the distance, creating a crack in the dark clouds.
At the same time, a desolate and deep narration sounded.
"The calamity of heaven and earth, the fall of the gods.
"On the eternal battlefield, light and darkness will wage the final battle.
"The agents who walk in the cruel world will use their mortal bodies to protect the glory of God!"
The image outlined by the lines on the light yellow rice paper suddenly changed rapidly!
The mountains of corpses on the ground came to life. These undead wore broken armor and dragged their incomplete bodies. Their eyes flickered with a dark light as they reached out to grab the spears beside them.
The camera zoomed in quickly. These undead stood up shakily, forming a sea of death.
However, at that moment, another bolt of lightning flashed in the sky. However, this time, it was very close to the camera. The majestic heavenly might pierced through the thick clouds, and a figure descended from the sky!
The camera looked over the shoulders of the undead army toward the sky. A dazzling white light instantly enveloped the entire image. The lines on the light yellow rice paper disappeared, replaced by a completely realistic CG scene.
A figure descended from the sky with the lightning. He was strong, and his muscles were full of strength. The H4 Club's uniform was propped up by his muscles, and the H4 logo on his chest was especially eye-catching.
Pei Qian recognized this person at a glance. It was the H4 Club's mid-laner, Huang Wang!
Huang Wang descended from the sky with the lightning, tearing through the sky full of dark clouds. As he descended, golden light began to appear on his body. Countless armor appeared out of thin air, completely wrapping him up.
Golden light lingered around the golden armor. Accompanied by the majestic heavenly might of the lightning, he smashed into the sea of undead on the ground like a cannonball. His right fist hit the ground, and the blazing golden light spread instantly, sweeping away all the undead around him!
In the deep pit that he created, Huang Wang stood up and looked into the distance.
The camera followed his back to the distance. Huang Wang's back was full of various weapons like a thousand-armed Guanyin, which was quite eye-catching. This highlighted his identity as a god: Modest.
As the camera continued to zoom out, more lightning tore through the dark clouds. One by one, players entered the Eternal Battlefield and transformed into different heroes.
Jiang Huan transformed into the Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan. The other professional players transformed into the Traveler Bao Xu, the Duke of Purgatory, and other in-game characters, killing everything in the Eternal Battlefield.
Finally, the scene arrived at the desolate ancient temple in the center of the Eternal Battlefield.
In the outer ruins, Huang Wang's Modest armor faded, and he returned to his original appearance. He pressed both hands on the dusty door of the temple and pushed it open!
A ray of light shot into the dusty temple, and the scene changed to a bird's eye view. Two huge doors of the temple opened, and Huang Wang dragged his long back as he entered the temple.
Although his figure was strong, it still seemed insignificant in the huge temple.
On the long, mottled and broken steps that had been eroded, Huang Wang walked with his head held high, towards the huge throne in the center of the temple.
As he moved forward, the countless braziers around him lit up one by one. The huge logo of the H4 Club instantly appeared above the throne. The broken stone steps became whole again, and the entire temple was revitalized.
However, as the golden light engulfed the entire Shrine, the other entrances to the Shrine suddenly opened as well. Each of the sixteen teams had their own entrance. Aside from the main entrance that Huang Wang had entered through, the other entrances also had their respective team representatives walk out.
These players were all wearing the uniforms of their respective clubs and holding the iconic weapons that represented heroes. It seemed like they were going to attack the highest throne that Huang Wang was on.
Another bolt of lightning flashed. The flags of the sixteen teams appeared on the thick stone pillars inside the temple. They emitted different light effects and dyed the entire temple.
Finally, everyone gathered in front of the highest throne and looked at the huge GPL Spring Competition trophy in front of the throne.
The video and the grand background sound came to an abrupt end. The logos of Tengda Corporation, GOG, and the GPL league appeared on the black screen.
…
Pei Qian was stunned after watching the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition.
That was way too f * cking cool!
Pei Qian had just finished watching the promotional video for the IOI World Competition. He felt that it was already very cool. The various outdoor scenes, the connection between the players' scenes, and so on were all very mature.
Pei Qian only had one feeling after watching the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition.
What the hell was that promotional video from before?!
He wasn't afraid of not knowing the goods, but he was afraid of comparing the goods.
He had only watched IOI's promotional video and felt that everything was good. The lines might be a little awkward, but the players had dubbed it themselves after all. He could tolerate it.
However, after watching the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition, he immediately turned IOI's promotional video into trash!
At first, Pei Qian was a little puzzled. Huang Wang had descended from the sky, and the golden armor on his body had automatically appeared to transform into Modest. How had this been filmed?
He understood after taking a closer look. This was not filmed at all. This was a proper game CG!
At the beginning, the lines on the pale yellow rice paper were hand-drawn by an artist. The series of contents after that included the team uniforms and the team members who had turned into heroes, the Revenant, the Eternal Battlefield, the huge temple and so on …
They were all game CGs!
GOG's research and development department had specially created a high-precision game model for the representatives of each team. Then, they had created a game CG based on this image to be used as a promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition!
How could real scenes be compared to game CGs?
It was a different production method. It was a complete dimensional reduction!
In the previous promotional video, IOI was still filming the scenery of Shanghai and letting the players recite their own narration. When it came to GOG, all the players were turned into CG and became one with the characters in the game.
In an instant, the level of pretentiousness was pulled by a hundred and eight thousand miles.
There was a simple explanation in the introduction of the video.
"The theme skins of each team will be sold one after another after the start of the GPL Spring Competition. The profits from the skins will be used in full for the operations of the teams. Please support the teams you like!"
"The champion skin of the first international invitational tournament is still in production. Please look forward to it!"
