"Little naughty star in the sky ~ nestled in the arms of the moon ~"
"Shine brightly and shine brightly~ It seems like you are quietly playing~"
"Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle~look up at the stars in the sky~"
"I can't count down there~it's winking up there~"
"Singing softly..."
"stop."
In the studio, Meng Shu took off his headphones. He stood up and nodded to a female dubbing teacher in the recording studio.
The latter quickly came out and asked about the results.
"Excuse me, Mr. Meng, is this okay?"
"Thanks a lot."
Meng Shu smiled and put down the score.
"The song is not a big problem. We have tried several singing methods. The one I want is already available. Thank you."
When the female dubbing teacher heard this, she immediately became happy.
"Really, can you let me hear which singing method is qualified? I have been thinking about it for more than an hour just now, and this children's song has become so beautiful. If it still doesn't work, it will be really unbearable. ”
Meng Shu kept it secret and didn't tell her which one he chose.
"You will know when the stage play is performed. Don't worry, thank you for the hard work."
Well, Mr. Meng already mentioned this, so the dubbing teacher couldn’t force it, so he had to give up.
Immediately afterwards, Meng Shu went to remind Mr. Li again. Tell him that he has a flight tomorrow and that he can end the rehearsal early tonight and go back to the hotel to get ready.
After Mr. Li expressed his understanding, Meng Shu dove into the office and started editing music.
The children's song "Stars Shine" is very similar to "Twinkle, Twinkle, Twinkle".
And he also asked most people in the company if they knew the children's song "The Star Shines", and the answer was yes.
Not only do they know it, they can all sing it.
There was even an employee who said that if he couldn't sing "The Star Shines", then he was either an alien or someone from another world.
This made Meng Shu a little embarrassed.
The music copyright issue was also settled very well.
The song "Stars Shine" was purchased on a foreign music platform.
The price is clearly marked, and there is an electronic contract as evidence.
So Meng Shu paid the copyright fee directly and quickly hired a dubbing teacher from the stage team to sing.
As a result, several dubbing teachers came and all were unsatisfactory.
Only the last one has the desolate effect of the original world "Dead Space".
But this was the result that took more than an hour to complete.
We are about to leave for America tomorrow, but the promotional video for the press conference has not been released yet.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already 4 p.m., still an hour and a half before I got off work.
"Looks like I have to work overtime again tonight."
Meng Shu sighed lightly and simply stood up to pour himself a cup of coffee.
You have to work overtime anyway, so why are you anxious?
take it easy.
So, Meng Shu added this to 2 o'clock in the morning.
As a result, he came to the company yawning and looking sleepy the next day.
As soon as I arrived downstairs of the company, I saw a long-distance bus.
This was rented to go to the airport. Since there were more than 20 people traveling together, a small car was not suitable and a bus was required.
Now, people from the stage team are standing on the side of the car.
Some were eating breakfast, some were showing off their greetings, and the bus driver was also helping to tidy up.
Meng Shu took out his cell phone and looked at the time, 6:40. The boarding time is 11 am sharp.
It seems that Mr. Li arrived earlier than he thought.
Meng Shu briefly greeted everyone and then went to have breakfast.
When I came back, I counted the number of people with Mr. Li and officially set off at 7:10.
Soon, the bus drove onto the highway.
Everyone in the car seemed a little excited as they were about to leave for America, and they had a lot of fun chatting in the early stages of the journey.
Meng Shu himself was very energetic at the beginning. While chatting with Mr. Li, he also learned about the e3 development situation with Director Lian through v-mail.
She learned from her that Infinite Entertainment arrived in America a week ago and began to decorate its booth area.
He also said that when Meng Shu and the others arrive, they will be sent to the same hotel to check in.
After Meng Shu thanked him, about halfway into the car ride, he finally couldn't bear the eyelid fighting caused by staying up late and fell asleep in the car.
In this way, three hours later, everyone entered the airport, and Meng Shu was sleeping in the waiting area.
More than 50 minutes later, everyone got on the plane, and Meng Shu continued to sleep.
During this period, I wake up to eat, go to the toilet, etc.
It wasn't until more than 10 hours later that we finally arrived in America.
Everyone who got off the plane looked tired, and some were feeling unwell due to sitting for long periods of time.
It is now around 9 a.m. America time, and Meng Shu and others are walking in the airport yawning.
"Sitting on this long-distance plane is as uncomfortable as sitting on a long-distance bus."
"Yeah, I feel like my butt is no longer mine."
"It's boring and uncomfortable. My legs are curled up and I can't straighten them. It's uncomfortable no matter how I sit. I guess the only long distance that's not uncomfortable is the boat ride."
"The main thing is that I can't play with my mobile phone and just wait. It's too uncomfortable. It really feels like time passes very slowly."
"You're right. The main reason is that being on a plane for more than ten hours is too boring."
Everyone chatted and relieved their tiredness.
Meng Shu, who was walking in front, listened to the actors' complaints and more or less agreed with them.
The long-distance transport was indeed tiring, but luckily I got through it.
The solid feeling of my feet on the ground now is stronger than anything else.
When we got to the hotel, we had a good sleep to recharge our spirits.
Soon, everyone left the airport. Following the instructions given by Director Lian, he got on the bus that came to receive him, and then rushed all the way to the hotel.
During this period, more than 2 hours passed, which really tortured everyone. None of them were as energetic as when they first set off.
After finally arriving at the hotel, everyone got rid of the air conditioning and really breathed the air.
At this time, Manager Lian was already waiting at the hotel door.
Seeing everyone getting off the bus, she stepped forward with a smile, took out her mobile phone and dialed Meng Shu's number.
Although the two companies have been cooperating for a year, neither Director Lian nor Meng Shu have ever met each other.
Looking at the people who were getting out of the car and saluting, Manager Lian couldn't directly ask where Meng Shu was, so he could only find someone on the phone.
And this method really worked, and the ringtone quickly made her find the other person.
A young man in casual clothes smoking in the front of the car.
"Hello, are you Mr. Meng?"
Meng Shu, who was holding the phone before he could answer it, heard the sound and saw a 35-year-old woman standing behind him with a smile.
The voice was very familiar and Meng Shu could not mishear it. He thought it was Director Lian.
Putting away the phone, Meng Shu took a quick look at her.
Manager Lian looks a bit unattractive, but overall she looks energetic and capable. At first glance, she looks like a woman who has been in the workplace for a long time.
Meng Shu nodded, smiled, and stretched out his right hand.
"It's me, Director Lian, right? I can tell by your voice. It's very recognizable."
Manager Lian was slightly startled when he saw the real person, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
Although I have communicated with Mr. Meng on the phone many times before, I can tell that he is very young and very young.
But when I saw it today, I was still a little surprised.
The other party was a bit younger than she imagined.
Wearing ordinary casual clothes, Mr. Meng in front of him looked like a young man who had just graduated from college. It was difficult to connect him with the boss Meng who seemed to have everything under control.
It has to be said that people should not be judged by their appearance.
At this age, Boss Meng can only be considered an intern in Infinity Entertainment.
But in fact, it has become one of the key partners of Infinite Entertainment.
This gap is really big.
Manager Lian stretched out his right hand and shook hands with Meng Shu politely.
"Mr. Meng, you are the same. We have been working together for more than a year. Today I finally met you in person. You are really younger than I thought."
"Thank you for your hard work along the way, Mr. Meng."
Meng Shu nodded, took two puffs of cigarette, looked at Director Lian, and then looked at the hotel.
"Did you, Mr. Liang, come to this exhibition too?"
Manager Lian shook his head after hearing this.
"Mr. Liang will generally not participate in this kind of gaming event, and the company has arranged for others to promote the game at the exhibition."
"Promotion game?"
Meng Shu became interested immediately after hearing this.
"It's not my game, right?"
"Indeed, I heard you mention it before. It was said that you were developing an FPS game internally. Has it been completed now?"
Director Lian laughed dryly.
"I'm not sure. This is a matter for their game development team. They are not in the same department as me. I don't know much about it."
"That's it."
Meng Shu nodded to express understanding.
"So you are also planning to hold a press conference for this e3 show, right?"
Director Lian shook his head again after hearing this.
"That's not true. We are just promoting it at a venue provided by the organizer. We don't plan to hold a press conference."
"Their charges are too expensive, and our games focus on the domestic market. Although we also use cyber platforms for overseas translation, the core users are not from abroad, so the company's publicity department feels that holding a game conference is not worthwhile."
"Besides..."
Manager Lian looked at the busy people on the bus behind him and brushed his hair.
"...Mr. Meng, you are carrying out this big move almost regardless of the cost. As a partner, you naturally have to give up competition and provide support."
After hearing this, Meng Shu couldn't help grinning and waving his hand.
"You're welcome, Director Lian. By the way, has the temporary venue at the e3 organizer's side been ready?"
Manager Lian raised his eyebrows and spoke quickly.
"You're talking about the real-person game scene, don't worry, I've been following up on this. You guys have a rest today, and we can go to the e3 venue tomorrow to have a look. Anyway, there are still about four or five days before the official opening, so there is still time. .”
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
After hearing this, Meng Shu understood clearly that this place was the same as the e3 exhibition in the original world.
Game manufacturers who have signed up to participate in the exhibition can enter the venue anytime and anywhere without waiting for the open day.
In this case, there are still four to five days before the official opening.
This period cannot be wasted. We must contact the technical teams of Japan’s H Company and C Company as soon as possible and ask them to cooperate with the actors in the stage play to rehearse.
After chatting with Director Lian for a few more words, Meng Shu and the stage team entered the pre-arranged hotel.
Although Infinite Online Entertainment helped make the reservation, Meng Shu knew that the money was on his own account.
After all, Only Games and Infinite Online Entertainment are two companies, and it is impossible for one company to pay for the settlement of the other company.
After the break, that night, I had a meal with the Infinite Entertainment team and exchanged gaming experiences with each other.
On the second day, Meng Shu took the stage team and Infinite Entertainment to the e3 site.
After waiting for the destination, they separated with the supervisor Lian.
After all, Infinite Online Entertainment also has its own venue to be responsible for. Director Lian has helped Meng Shu very much before he and others arrived, and Meng Shu is very grateful. It is up to him to take over the rest.
Soon, Meng Shu led everyone to the exhibition stand of the only game, and found that construction was going on here, and the construction of the game building was in progress.
Meng Shu went in and walked around by himself. Maybe it was because it wasn't finished yet, so it wasn't very good. But in terms of scale, it is at least quite satisfactory.
When it is completed, two staff members will be arranged to dress up as monsters in the game and wander around inside, giving players a good real-life experience.
In addition, Meng Shu also met the two technical team leaders from H Company and C Company here.
When they first met, the three of them almost unanimously communicated in English.
After a brief introduction, the two persons in charge took Meng Shu and others to the independent venue where the game conference was to be held.
As soon as he entered, Meng Shu was pleasantly surprised.
It's not that the entire independent venue is beautifully decorated, but the venue is very spacious and it seems that it can easily accommodate thousands of people without any problem.
Especially the stage, which basically spans half of the venue. The performance of the 3D virtual characters is definitely enough, but I don’t know if the actors behind the scenes have such a big space.
Behind the stage is an electronic display screen that is the same height and width as the wall.
Anyone who has seen a live stage performance knows that the function of this large electronic screen is to focus and amplify the performance on the stage. Because only in this way can people far away from the audience see the performance on the stage clearly through the electronic screen.
For those who are close, you can just look at the stage, which is very convenient for the audience.
"This venue is very good. We need to set it up as soon as possible to leave time for subsequent rehearsals."
Meng Shu was very satisfied after seeing the venue and spoke to the heads of the two agencies in English.
"Of course, we will arrange it as soon as possible. The projection equipment has been installed, you see."
The two persons in charge brought Meng Shu and others to the stage and pointed to several projection equipment on the top. The appearance was obviously different from other lamps in the venue, and it looked like they were extra ones.
Meng Shu already knew about this before he came, so he just nodded and said well done.
For the rest, the two people in charge said they would place a special transparent screen on the stage that is difficult to see with the naked eye. The device is then projected onto it to achieve a 360° virtual 3D stereoscopic effect.
This is similar to what Meng Shu himself understood.
But after all, before the official opening of e3, stage plays still need to continue to be practiced. Especially now that equipment is available, rehearsals must be carried out to avoid performance accidents.
Meng Shu had a simple communication with the two technical leaders from Japan, and then explained it to Mr. Li.
In the end, both parties went on to work independently.
The Japanese technical team installed tools and equipment, and Mr. Li strengthened rehearsals behind the stage.
Then, after a full day of testing, it was found that the projection equipment and screen used for the performance were all normal, and it was time to rehearse.
Early the next morning, Meng Shu and others came to the e3 exhibition again.
This time, we started directly by asking the actors to put on professional motion capture suits with facial capture.
The Japanese technical team imported and adapted the already designed monster models and character models, and projected them on the stage screen in real time through the joint tracking devices on the motion capture suit and the facial expression collection of the actors.
Since the technical team used the entire stage as a virtual background in advance, when the projection equipment projected the image onto the screen, the real stage looked unchanged.
But when the 3D characters appear in the background of the real stage, the three-dimensional feeling of the second dimension coming to the third dimension emerges.
During the test, Meng Shu himself ran up to the booth and took a close look at the real stage background and 3D virtual characters on the screen.
He was sure that the people sitting in the audience would definitely think that some black technology made the 3D characters appear in reality.
Little did they know that it was a screen with a picture of a real stage as the background.
The virtual animation special effects have also been prepared. According to the script, these special effects only need to be 'played' in specific plots.
After several tests, the technical support team responsible for the special effects was able to seamlessly connect with the people on stage.
After a rehearsal, Meng Shu felt that the money was well spent.
Then, the next step will be left to Mr. Li and the actors.
As a result, in the new round of rehearsals, all work was carried out in an orderly manner.
Meng Shu sat in the audience from a distance, watching everyone's performance.
He looked at the stage for a while, and then looked at the electronic screen behind the stage, feeling satisfied.
However, it was still a bit difficult for the actors.
After all, everyone usually wears their daily clothes for rehearsals, but now that they are wearing this kind of restrained motion capture suit for rehearsals, it is inevitable that they can't let go.
But as they rehearsed over and over again, the actors gradually improved and became more proficient.
Meng Shu watched from a distance and couldn't help but feel relieved.
Mr. Li and these actors are very dedicated. After such a long period of working together, I can completely trust them.
So, under such intense rehearsal, time passed day by day.
When the last nearly perfect practice ended, Meng Shu, who had watched several games in a row, couldn't help but stand up and cheer loudly.
Now, everything is proceeding steadily as he planned.
The e3 exhibition also officially started as scheduled!
