Half past nine in the morning.


    Standing in the exhibition center, Zhou Ruiling kept looking at her watch, standing on tiptoe and looking left and right from time to time. Finally, her eyes brightened, she saw her boss and trotted over.


    "Boss, you are here. It will start soon."


    "Don''t panic. Anyway, the judges are not us. It doesn''t matter whether we arrive or not."


    Looking at Hao Yun''s calm expression, Zhou ruining looks helpless and doesn''t know what to say about him.


    Please, this is your own game!


    Don''t you worry at all?


    After working there for a long time, she felt that the emperor was not in a hurry and the eunuch was in a hurry.


    In fact, Zhou Ruiling is wrong about Hao Yun. Hao Yun is not totally indifferent to his own game. In fact, he was busy upgrading the online community function of magic tower all day yesterday. He didn''t finish it until three o''clock in the morning today. After sleeping for a while, he came to the exhibition center immediately.


    For "magic tower" in the competition to achieve what kind of results, his heart is also very curious.


    On the other side of the hall.


    Tang Youxi is also looking around, looking for the familiar figure.


    However, to her slight disappointment, the little sister who had been with them for the past two days did not appear. She had been looking around for a long time and had not seen the familiar figure.


    "Mr. Tang! Can our game make it to the finals? " See Tang Youxi has been looking around there, standing next to the house in a T-shirt said.


    Before Tang Youxi could make complaints about it, the man in the plaid wore a tucker.


    "It''s a ghost to be shortlisted. Our booths are crowded out."


    The magic tower is really hot these two days. There is an endless stream of people queuing up to take photos and punch in. All the Games in the booth next door have suffered. At first, he thought that the people in line could bring some popularity to their booth, but the result was that it made the booth with few people worse.


    So far, less than 60 players have experienced the text adventure they took a year to develop.


    Now it seems that there is no way to expect to stand out in Shanghai game show. We have to wait until the game show is over and throw it to the e-fun platform to try our luck.


    "How can you say that!" Tang Youxi was not happy. He glared at him and said, "if we are shortlisted for the finals, it doesn''t depend entirely on the popularity of the booth, but also on the artistic and interesting aspects of the game... In case our game is favored by which big judge?"


    A Zhai in a T-shirt looks at the man of science and technology.


    "Mr. Tang, I think the probability is lower than winning the lottery."


    "Yes, Mr. Tang, we might as well buy a lottery ticket with the club funds. If we win the first prize, we''ll get it!"


    Tang Youxi''s face turned red and glared at them. He turned his head to face the stage of the exhibition center and stopped talking.


    The stage is located in the side hall of the exhibition center, which was temporarily built last night. The layout here is like a U-shaped theater, which is divided into two parts: the infield with seats and the outfield without seats, extending outward in a ladder shape.


    At this moment, several judges have sat on the stage, talking and laughing, while waiting for the main play of this Shanghai game show to officially start.


    Finally, with the arrival of ten o''clock, a long bell rang in the exhibition center.


    Almost at the same time, no matter the friends who are laughing and talking, or the friends who are excited to discuss their favorite game, they can''t help but lower their voice and turn their eyes to the stage in front of exhibition area B.


    The judges and special guests of the competition have been seated, and the host with the microphone has come to the front.


    I saw him clear his throat, with excited and loud voice, announced that this Shanghai game exhibition officially entered the most exciting part - the selection of golden keyboard game award!


    In fact, in addition to the gold keyboard, there are many awards, including the best creative award, the best picture award, the best music award and so on. However, compared with the gold keyboard, the gold content of these awards is far from enough.


    After all, in a game, no one remembers the names of the second and third runners up.


    Can leave a name in the history of the game only champion!


    Sitting in the infield seat, Zhou Zhenyu clenched his fist. Li Zongzheng, not far away from him, was also sweating.


    According to the competition process, the first thing to be displayed on the screen is top20, which is the most popular work among the players in the C area of this game show.


    The rule of ranking is to dynamically collect and analyze the "heat" data in front of each booth according to the thermal cameras deployed in each corner of the exhibition area, and calculate the heat of each booth according to specific algorithm rules.


    For independent game designers and small and medium-sized game companies in exhibition area C, this top 20 list is also a good exposure opportunity.


    Especially for works that don''t have many fans.


    Many players go to the major platforms after the game, to a large extent will also refer to this list, see if you can find treasure or something.


    There''s no suspense.


    Dragon King and Xiuxian simulator are both on the list.


    Just let Zhou Zhenyu look slightly gloomy is, no accident, magic tower also appeared on the list.


    It''s not even just the magic tower.


    Because the magic tower booth is too small, and the heat is too large, even the two booths next door are stained with light, and are also systematically arranged on the list.


    Seeing his game on the big screen, Tang Youxi almost didn''t scream. But fortunately, several members of the club beside her controlled her, which did not let the head off-line president do anything out of the ordinary.


    According to the selection rules of the competition, after the display of the heat value list, it will enter the selection process.


    In this link, each judge holds a judge''s vote, and can recommend a game to the big screen. The players will vote, and finally decide the ownership of the golden keyboard award.


    If the same game is recommended by two judges, the number of player votes will double. Similarly, if three judges recommend the game, the final vote of the game will be multiplied by three on the basis of the player''s vote.


    At first glance, it seems unfair.


    But it''s not.


    First of all, the voting system is by name, and then the voting method is carried out one by one rather than announced at the same time.


    When each judge nominates the game he recommends, he or she will attach the reason for recommending it to the players.


    In such a voting mode, the judges who speak later will more carefully consider whether they want to vote for the same game.


    In other words, if he thinks it is not good enough to deserve two or three votes, he has enough time to reconsider and leave the opportunity to those who need it more.


    As for fraud


    To be honest, it is possible to influence the subjective opinions because of the interests, but it is basically impossible to bribe the judges here.


    All of us here are big names in the industry. Every one is worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars. But a mere game company can''t afford to bribe.


    In contrast, it will be easier to buy players.


    But then again, it''s impossible to be absolutely fair.


    It can only be said that this dual track selection method, in which professionals control the weight and players decide the voting base, is fair to some extent compared with those music and performance talent shows that are completely controlled by several "mentors".


    After all, if the right to choose is completely given to the masses of players, the quality of the entries in the competition will definitely be inferior to each other. It''s either rice circle or fast food. Other small and medium-sized game production companies don''t need to play at all.


    And if it is completely handed over to the judges, it seems that they will also be separated from the masses of the people. Whether they win or not depends on the experts'' mouth. What they say may not convince everyone.


    So is it to please "art" or "market"?


    For those who participate in the game makers, this is also a problem that must be carefully considered.


    But now, someone has made their own judgment.


    "I recommend Dragon King."


    The big man who spoke was Wang Mingfeng, CEO of pineapple entertainment.


    For his speech, no matter the insiders sitting in the infield or the players standing in the outfield, no one was surprised.


    After all, it has long been rumored in the industry that mango entertainment is seeking to buy Sunbird, and it is even possible that the two sides have reached some kind of agreement in private.


    As long as the Dragon King''s performance is not too unsatisfactory, he naturally has no reason to be stingy with his votes.


    "There is no doubt about the quality of the Dragon King. Both the picture and the plot are amazing, which is obvious to all. In particular, the rich moves and high degree of freedom of the combat system, for me, is simply a visual feast


    "So I voted for it, and I hope that Sunbird studio can make persistent efforts. I''m optimistic about you!"


    There was applause.


    Sitting in the infield, Zhou Zhenyu clapped his hands and looked at the stage with a smile, casting a grateful look at Mr. Wang.


    But Mr. Wang didn''t look at him. After all, the camera is facing this side. It''s not appropriate to make eye contact with the audience.


    "It seems that the rumor before is true," a Zhai whispered, standing behind Tang Youxi with a palm in his hand. "I didn''t expect that pineapple entertainment actually bought Sunbird."


    "It''s probably because of helplessness," sighed the man of science and engineering standing on one side. "After all, the assassin biography series is too hot. Originally, Sunbird and huoqilin were the benchmark of action adventure games in the industry. As a result, huoqilin was acquired by rice group and directly threw Sunbird away to grandma''s home."


    "What are you talking about?" Tang Youxi asked curiously.


    "Nothing, gossip in the industry."


    “……？”


    I don''t know if it''s his illusion. Tang Youxi always feels that the members of his club don''t regard his future president as an insider at all


    The game is going on.


    Standing on the stage, the host nodded, smiling and facing the audience, then looked at the judges.


    "Now our first judge has cast his valuable vote. Has anyone else chosen his favorite work?"


    The judges were silent for two seconds.


    It seems that Mr. Wang''s answer is so concise that no one else is ready.


    At this time, a middle-aged man with slight weight said with a smile.


    "It''s very tangled, there are so many excellent works... You are still hesitating, or I''ll come."


    The spotlight fell on a fat man.


    He was wearing fashionable sunglasses, with long hair tied behind him into a small braid. He didn''t look like a game player, but rather like an artist.


    Hao Yun doesn''t know this guy, but it seems that all the players around him are familiar with him. He is also a well-known industry tycoon.


    However, at this time, the next player''s voice suddenly came.


    "Lying trough? Liu Dao is here


    "It''s Liu Qizhe of Liu''s film industry!"


    "I heard that pineapple group recently acquired Liu''s film."


    "I''ll go! Is this third line mobile phone brand across the sea going to buy our entire entertainment industry? "


    Hearing the two players'' comments, Hao Yun''s expression is a little delicate and awkward.


    Well, well


    I didn''t expect to be a director.


    But why was the director invited here.


    In the heart perplexed, the respected Liu Dao on the stage said with a smile.


    "I''m not a game designer. In fact, I''m a director. You should have heard of my movies more or less."


    "From the perspective of plot, the plot of Dragon King is undoubtedly excellent in my opinion."


    With a kind smile on his face, the director, who was slightly overweight, continued.


    "Although Mr. Chen has said everything I want to say, I still want to say something more. Even if we put aside the tolerance of the start-up independent production team, Longwang is definitely a work standing on the ceiling of the industry. "


    "Yes, we can see a lot of good works in the competition, especially action role play, but it''s hard to see the traces of hard polishing like it."


    "I think it''s like building a brick on the ceiling of a building. Originally we thought the upper limit of this skyscraper was 150 meters, but now it has been raised to 151 meters! "


    "I will vote for the Dragon King."


    "Thank you


    The voice fell.


    There was an uproar under the stage, even on the jury.


    Two tickets!


    This is just the beginning of the selection. Dragon King has already got two judges'' votes!


    If there is no inside story, the devil will believe it!
