The competition format of June Dream is completely different from that of May Dream. Although it is also a competition program, June Dream may be closer to the film and television industry because of its nature of competition, and its form of expression is also more variety show-like and closer to entertainment.
Professionalism is there, but it’s not everything. More often than not, it tests the overall quality of the contestants - for example, the control of the entire shooting scene, the communication and control of the actors, and the response to some on-set emergencies. Although the core is still film and television creation, the proportion of film and television creation itself is not very high.
The official competition follows May Dream. Although it also lasts for a month, it is not as intense and fast as May Dream. It only requires contestants to submit two works in total, one personal work and one collaborative work.
But this process is lengthy and involves much more content than expected.
The competition is divided into two rounds, each occupying fifteen days. On the first day of the first round, the program team will take all contestants to visit four special locations. Although the locations are not announced before the competition, everyone has guesses based on past experience.
There have been many analysis posts on the Internet a long time ago, speculating on the scope of this topic. In fact, because this type of competition is sponsored by the state, although the theme is different every year, it is still more or less closely related to some social issues of the year, so if you are concerned and sensitive enough about current affairs, then The probability of guessing one or two is very high.
Most of the players will also spend some effort on this. If you guess correctly, you can start preparing in advance. Betting on the question is not considered cheating, but it will definitely bring some advantages.
Yin Lian had no awareness of this. After Yin Changsheng saw the related topics, he quickly helped her collect possible test questions. However, after all, he did not grow up in Xia Kingdom. Even if he made up the history of the competition, it was difficult to judge among them. Which events are more likely to become exam questions.
Having said that, even other people in the industry may not be able to guess the test questions 100% correctly.
It's not easy to use this kind of thing to harass people in the industry. It's not worth the loss to owe favors for this kind of thing, so Yin Changsheng just collected a batch of guesses from the Internet that seemed to be more credible, and then gave them to Yin Lian As a reference.
On the day of the exam, Yin Lian came to the venue and found that there were many more players appearing in this competition at the same time than May Meng. In the May Dream, the players were arranged in batches, but in the June Dream, all players competed in the same field. They may be divided into groups, but they were not divided into different venues, so the number of people seemed to be particularly large.
What popped into Yin Lian's mind at that time was that since there were no groups, the competition for the camera would be particularly fierce. Although for optical network live broadcast, no one will actually be robbed of the shot - because each player's performance has an independent viewing channel, but if they receive attention, it will definitely affect the intensity of being pushed. In a sense, Say, it is also a kind of spotlight-stealing.
The attention she received in this game was completely different from the previous one. Although there were people who came to chat with me in the last scene, there were far less people than this one. As soon as Yin Lian arrived at the venue, people kept talking to her and trying to get close to her. She must have closed the secret chat status, so most people's attitudes were relatively restrained, but they just suggested that they want to accompany her or form a team.
There were men and women among these people, some talkative and some shy. Yin Lian couldn't satisfy everyone's requirements, so after dealing with it for a while, she finally selected a female companion who seemed to be the right one.
Of course, you can't choose someone blatantly. After choosing the person, Yin Lian just chooses to pick up as many topics as possible from her and start chatting with her naturally, so that others can't get in the way and they will slowly disperse.
Of course, there are also people who are more persistent. Even if they can't answer the conversation, they always choose to follow and add a word or two from time to time. Naturally, Yin Lian would not be able to expel the other party rudely. Even in order not to appear too cold and rude, she would occasionally take the initiative to pick up one or two sentences, but the frequency would not be too high.
The girl she chose to talk to, whose ID was Shi Lishenghua, was polite and generous when she came to say hello. She told her a topic that Yin Lian was very interested in, which was a game called [Mystery Paradise].
The game market in Xia Kingdom is also very developed. For example, in "Hundred People and Hundred Faces" that Yin Lian wants to participate in, game design is also a major category in the competition content.
[Mystery Paradise] is a game involving script creation.
It's actually a bit like a team-running game on Earth, a tabletop role-playing game. In the original world, running group games such as Dungeons and Dragons (DND) and Cthulhu (COC) have always had their own popular circles, and there are signs of recovery and expansion this year. In such a game, most of the time the host (KP) designs a script, and then allows the players (PL) to take adventures according to the plot of the script. In the middle, items such as dice are used to determine the character attributes and event development, and finally develop various ending.
Among them, DND is more adventurous, Cthulhu is more scary, and there are also more casual types such as Dragon Egg. In fact, reasoning or confrontation are also very popular in it. In the past, "Please close your eyes when it gets dark" and "Werewolf" can all be classified into this category.
In fact, these games have also developed electronically in recent years due to the development of computer technology. However, the level of development of this type of game in Xia Kingdom is naturally far beyond that on Earth.
Because of the technical capabilities here, Xia Guo has many original games with a high degree of freedom that allow creators to directly participate. [Mystery Paradise] is such a game. It has a basic game system and universal player modules, but at the same time, the host can rent rooms in the game, create copies, and then invite other players to explore. Hosts can provide rewards themselves, or purchase reward templates from the system. They can open copies for free for players to explore, or they can charge ticket fees to recover costs. Players who have passed the level can evaluate the script, and rooms with high evaluations are more likely to attract various players to visit.
This type of game is very popular in Xia Kingdom. Although not every script is exciting, because there are so many people involved in the creation, it can always bring a strong sense of freshness to the participants. In addition, the game itself is very immersive. It is a form of entertainment, so it has always been very popular.
Shi Lishenghua recommends one of the more popular ones.
Yin Lian was very interested in it, and the two of them talked about this topic until the end of the preparation time. Others would interrupt from time to time, which made Yin Lian have a strong interest in this type of game.
Shi Lishenghua suggested that if she had time, she could rent a room and play: "I have read your previous works and thought you were very good at layout and controlling other people's psychology. At that time, I thought you were very suitable to be the host of a reasoning game. . If you go, remember to send me a link, and I will take someone to play with you."
Although Yin Lian didn't know when she would have time, she was indeed very interested in this type of game, so she agreed first and said, "Okay."
Then the game begins.
After a brief opening ceremony at the beginning, the game quickly got down to business. Host Luo He announced that they will visit four locations next. After visiting all four locations, all contestants need to choose one of the locations and then collect materials in depth. They have up to three days to visit the "problem", collect real-life materials, and then start creating.
Yin Lian finally knew what the four topics of this issue were.
The first place they went to was the No. 12 Interstellar Adventure Base under the Interstellar Development Agency, which corresponded to the discovery of the No. 12 habitable star zone in the constellation Fox this year. They came into face-to-face contact with a group of experienced interstellar explorers and star-building teams, including Starfleet officers.
The second place they went to was Xia Ting Undersea Base. There, the players came into contact with the legendary sand eels and deep-sea mermaids for the first time. Although they are called "mermaids", they don't look particularly human. Yin Lian had not paid attention to news in this area before. After all, the amount of information she had to receive every time in Xia Kingdom was too huge, and she had no time to pay attention to some minor details.
However, when Yin Changsheng was collecting information on possible topics, she was made to read a bunch of important current events from last year to this year. Among them was the discovery of an intelligent race that could communicate on the seabed and the establishment of certain social contacts with them. intelligence. Yin Changsheng has always been very thoughtful in his work, so when listing this piece of news, he also added a lot of relevant information.
Yin Lian has always had a photographic memory, and this piece of news was quite interesting, so she remembered it.
Sand eels and deep-sea mermaids are usually female mermaids, but during the sex season, some will selectively transform into males. They are large in size and have sharp teeth. They are not similar to humans themselves, but they have certain similarities - for example, compared to normal fish, they have flexible arms and claws with pink claws on them. webbed.
Their bodies were covered with scales, which were not very similar to the mermaids or sharks that Yin Lian knew, but they were obviously more reasonable and in line with reality. The head, tail and lower arms can all emit light, usually pink, but it is said that mermaids in poor health may also emit yellow light, and then they will be looked down upon in the group.
Merfolk who are looked down upon are more likely to be forced to transform into males during the sex season. As for whether some indescribable plot will happen next, Yin Lian doesn't know enough about these mermaids, so he can only rely on his imagination to imagine.
Although it doesn't look like the mermaid in my impression, the Sand Eel Deep Sea Mermaid is actually very beautiful. If I had to describe them, they were more like koi carvings carved from gemstones. Their faces were slightly human-like, with the scales being the sparsest. Relatively speaking, the scales on the back of the head are relatively hard and large, like manes.
Two mermaids live in a huge glass tank at the underwater base. Although it is said to be a water tank, it is actually directly connected to the ocean outside. Probably because they realized that they are both intelligent creatures, the scientists treated them very politely, and the sand eel deep-sea mermaid, which is said to be very ferocious when hunting, also appeared. On the friendlier side.
Mermaids and humans can see each other through special glass walls. When Yin Lian and the others appeared, the mermaid was communicating silently with the researchers. When she saw these children appearing, she suddenly swung her huge tail, and dots of pink light suddenly flashed on the tip of her tail.
The guide suddenly laughed and said: "She is saying hello to you. Maybe she is quite
