The official version of World of Warcraft is about to be launched, and the creative workshop and player discussion community are as lively as the Chinese New Year.
There's no better news for World of Warcraft players.
The plot has been preparing for a natural disaster for a whole month, and finally its true appearance is revealed to the players.
According to the official information released by Yunmeng Games, starting from the official version, the plot of World of Warcraft will officially pick up the end of the Warcraft Frozen King expansion pack. The shadow of natural disasters will cover the continent of Azeroth, and the conflict between the tribe and the alliance will occur. It will also come to a head with the sound of war drums.
In addition to version 1.0, which is known as the official public beta version, what excites players the most is undoubtedly the upcoming Warcraft Music Festival.
At first, I don't know who shouted, and wanted to put Mr. Hao on the list of "most anticipated musicians".
Later, a large number of players who followed the trend also rushed forward, and Hao Yun, who was originally outside the top 100, directly shot to the top of the list with a large number of 5 million votes.
A popular singer in second place has just exceeded one million votes.
Since only level 10 players are eligible to vote, unless the official secretly changes the data, even if the general fan circle organization wants to help with voting, it is not that easy to do so.
Putting aside some mischievous mentality, this vote basically reflects the voice of most players.
"I didn't expect that I was ranked second." Looking at the vote list on the official website, Hu Yanshu looked dumbfounded.
He didn't mind being pushed down by Hao Yun, but he just felt a little surprised.
Although he also plays World of Warcraft privately, he has no plans to participate in this music festival.
To be precise, he had no musical plans.
Recently, all the slightly famous musicians are transitioning into the film and television industry, and he is no exception.
To be honest, the fans pushed him, and they were more caught off guard than surprised.
"It seems that the overlap between your fans and World of Warcraft players is quite high." The agent standing aside joked.
Hu Yanshu shrugged and said.
"Maybe, but regardless of whether it overlaps or not, we don't have the energy to participate in this event."
"Aren't you going to participate?"
"no idea."
The agent thought for a while and said.
"Actually, I think you can understand it properly."
Hu Yanshu joked.
"Why do you know this? I have no plans to release new songs recently, and Yunmeng Games didn't contact me. Should I sign up as a player?"
"Although Yunmeng Games has not contacted us, I can contact them on your behalf. Since so many players have voted, I think the operators of World of Warcraft will pay attention to the players' voices." The agent paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, participating in this event does not conflict with your development in the film and television industry. It may even be helpful."
Hu Yanshu still listened to what the agent said. He touched his chin and thought for a while before asking thoughtfully.
"How to say?"
"This World of Warcraft Music Festival is not just an event planned by Yunmeng Games, but jointly planned by Yunmeng Games and Yunmeng Media. Before this, there had been rumors in the film and television circles that Yunmeng Games planned to give World of Warcraft Make a movie. If this rumor is true, combined with the event planning slate, this music festival will be worth pondering."
Hearing this, Hu Yanshu was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.
"You mean... this music festival is probably to promote the World of Warcraft movie? And then the players' votes will be used to select the cast?"
The agent nodded and said.
"This possibility cannot be ruled out. At least if I were the official, there would be no reason to refuse a star who is very popular among players to play a popular role in a theme movie."
"Then what? Is there any role suitable for me in World of Warcraft?" Hu Yanshu said helplessly, "With this fantasy theme, should I play an orc? Or should I say an elf or a dwarf?"
After all, the background of the story is a fantasy theme, not a martial arts theme. If he was asked to play the character with an English name, he would not be able to play the role, and he could not act it himself.
"Today's CG technology is so advanced that you can just wear a green suit and put on a motion capture device. I think no matter what role you play, it is not a problem at all. And with all due respect, it is precisely because it is a fantasy theme that you have a chance! "
Hu Yanshu was stunned for a moment.
"Why?"
The agent looked away with a subtle expression.
"I heard that this kind of motion-captured CG movie does not have so high requirements for acting skills. Even if one or two expressions are not quite in place, they can still be modified through post-production technology."
Nonsense book: "..."
The agent coughed and quickly changed the subject and continued: "Anyway, I suggest you seriously consider this opportunity. This opportunity is very rare! Even if it is not for the sake of the movie, think about the sky-high endorsement fees that Oracle set back then. If If we can build a good relationship with the officials, maybe we will have a chance to get endorsements for the game!"
The endorsement lineup hired by Sea Lion Group for Oracle that year was quite luxurious, and the endorsement fees also set a record for that year.
Nowadays, World of Warcraft is even more popular than Oracle back then, so I guess the endorsement fees are not necessarily stingy.
If the movie thing only made Hu Yanshu hesitate, then after hearing the word endorsement, the expression on his face suddenly stopped being hesitant and said decisively.
"It's decided! Sign up for me."
The agent said with joy.
"okay!"
…
It wasn't just the nonsense book that made the decision, there were too many people salivating over this tempting cake.
the other side.
A certain first-line singer who signed a contract with a management company owned by Da Mi Entertainment was also discussing this matter with her manager.
"We are artists under DaMi Entertainment. Is it really okay to participate in World of Warcraft activities?"
The agent said in a positive tone.
"What's the problem with this? We, Rice Entertainment and Yunmeng Games, have no business conflicts. The personal relationship between Mr. Xu and Mr. Hao is pretty good, so there's nothing wrong with them trying to get along with each other."
"It seems to be the same..."
"Then sign up? I'll send the email for you."
"Report! Why not report it?"
Artists affiliated with a certain Sea Lion Group are also discussing with their managers.
"If we sign up, President Liu will not be unhappy."
"I don't think Mr. Liu cares about such a small thing... But Miss, can you sing?"
"I-I can learn!"
The lead singer of an overseas rock band was also arguing with the band's manager over this matter.
"Sooner or later, World of Warcraft will launch an overseas version, just like Clash of Clans. Look at the band JMY who wrote the theme song for the North American version of Clash of Clans. Their albums are selling like crazy! What are you waiting for? Hurry up and contact World of Warcraft. official."
"Mr. Jasno, but... your Xia Kingdom is not famous at all. Our band's name is not even on the list voted by players."
"What does it matter? I believe art has no borders!"
Originally, according to the official plan of World of Warcraft, they planned to wait for the voting data to come out, contact the celebrity with the top votes, customize a theme song, and then invite him to participate in the event as a special guest to create a wave of hot topics.
As for the players' submissions, it's enough to let the players vote for a few of the most popular songs to entertain themselves, and then give them a bonus or something.
However, I am afraid that even Du Ziteng, who planned this event, did not expect that due to the popularity of World of Warcraft, this music event that was originally held for players ended up completely turning into a music event due to too many people paying attention. Traffic feast.
Applications were received from popular domestic first-tier singers, well-known foreign musicians, rock bands with millions of fans, and even a symphony orchestra hovering on the edge of the first- and second-tier tiers came to join in the fun.
Since World of Warcraft officially does not limit the music type of theme songs, individuals and groups who sign up are also diverse.
And the coffee positions of the applicants are also more scary than the last.
Although the amount of the prize pool is not huge, the champion will get the opportunity to officially sign a contract with World of Warcraft, and the track will be included in the official theme song soundtrack album.
Needless to say, the benefits of being included in the official theme song album are the opportunity to get into the eyes of tens of millions of players. Not only can you gain huge signings, but you can also gain the attention of tens of millions of players.
Especially for those domestic first-line stars, if they can successfully sign contracts, wouldn't endorsements be a smooth process
Yunmeng Games has always attached great importance to the opinions of players!
Looking at the emails in the mailbox, Sun Xiaoteng's face looked a little confused.
Didn’t we agree on the players’ activities
Why do so many big-name celebrities come to sign up
And they didn’t even mention the appearance fee...
Since Mr. Hao herself won the first place in the "Most Anticipated Musician by Players" vote, she originally thought that she would be able to save the budget for hiring big-name stars.
Now, it's clear that the original plan was ruined.
Looking at the emails from well-known brokerage studios in his mailbox, Sun Xiaoteng pinched his eyebrows with a headache.
This is just great…
An event that could have been completed with a budget of one or two million originally would not be possible without a budget of tens of millions.
