The new game press conference was broadcast live across the entire internet.
It was considered a program with quite a bit of attention.
Before the press conference, there were promotional segments for older games.
Cosplay of some classic popular characters elicited cheers from many viewers.
Su Yu sat in the audience, and just as he was watching with keen interest, a cosplayer dressed as a monkey caught his attention.
This person carried a staff and embodied the monkey perfectly.
Even Su Yu couldn't help but applaud him.
From the cast list released by the officials, he noticed this person's name was Zhang Chenghua.
Then he searched for information about him online.
This Zhang Chenghua turned out to be a professional monkey show performer. He was twenty-four years old and had acted in two TV shows, neither of which became very popular. He usually took on commercial performances.
So he was a professional monkey show actor, no wonder his performance was so lifelike.
At this moment, the live stream audience also noticed the monkey.
"This monkey is acting so well!"
"Exactly, he's really good with that staff!"
"I know this person, he's an actor, but after two TV dramas, he hasn't received any more roles. There are too few monkey roles in our film and television industry, what a pity for a good actor."
"Monkey shows are also traditional culture, and no one pays attention to them."
"There's no market for it. Monkey shows lack explosive appeal. If there was a viral sensation that swept the internet, only then might monkey shows be recognized by the public."
Traditional culture is very popular nowadays, just like Peking Opera. Not only do the older generation like Peking Opera, but many young people have also started to enjoy it.
The popularity of traditional culture like Peking Opera is closely related to Ting Yu's songwriting, so people in the traditional culture industry are very grateful to Ting Yu.
Monkey shows are a niche form of traditional performance, and they lack promotion and breakthrough works.
Many people don't even know they exist.
Zhang Chenghua is probably the most famous among the younger generation of monkey show performers.
He still relies on commercial performances to make a living.
...
After the performances of all the major hit games were finished.
Finally, it was time for the new game press conference.
The first segment was the new game preview.
Five MOBA competitive mobile games were released.
This clearly shows the market's emphasis on MOBA games.
However, Su Yu saw something different.
The MOBA market is almost saturated. There's "Hero" for PC games and "Honor of Kings" for mobile games. Other games have no market. This is the perfect time for a game like PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds to emerge.
After the preview was released.
Then came some officially released games.
And among them, the most anticipated were naturally two Wuxia games.
"Journey with a Sword," produced by the established major developer Shengshi Games.
"Young Man's Horizon," produced by the emerging studio Shaonian Games.
When Bai Yanlang, the person in charge of "Journey with a Sword," took the stage, the audience immediately erupted in applause.
As an established manufacturer, Shengshi still has its own player base.
And this "Journey with a Sword" is considered their most important project, otherwise, they wouldn't try to suppress a small studio's "Young Man's Horizon."
As their most anticipated new work in many years, Shengshi Games has specifically invited Li Feihong, a renowned producer specializing in game theme songs, to create the theme song.
They have certainly invested heavily.
After introducing the game.
Bai Yanlang smiled at the audience and said, "I believe you've heard some news; the theme song for our 'Journey with a Sword' is indeed a work by Teacher Li Feihong. Now, please enjoy the theme song 'Beneath the Sword'."
After speaking, Bai Yanlang and the staff left the stage.
In addition to inviting a renowned producer to write the song, they also invited frontline singer Cao Yue to perform it.
This Cao Yue is also considered Li Feihong's go-to singer. The two of them have produced many classic game theme songs together.
While the stage was being prepared, the audience was discussing among themselves.
"It seems 'Journey with a Sword' is well-prepared this time, actually inviting a renowned producer."
"In terms of theme songs, 'Young Man's Horizon' will likely be much weaker. I guess such a small studio would at most invite an intermediate producer."
The two people next to Su Yu were also discussing in low voices.
They favored "Journey with a Sword" more for the theme song this time.
Su Yu, on the other hand, listened to their discussions like an observer. This feeling was quite good, as he hadn't been an audience member watching performances from below in a long time. He treated it as a form of entertainment.
Because he was wearing a mask, people didn't recognize him.
He just listened to their conversations without joining in. After all, normal people would think that a small studio wouldn't have the resources of a major company when it comes to theme songs.
"It doesn't matter who they invite, Li Feihong is the Ting Yu of the gaming industry."
"Nonsense, Ting Yu is much more powerful than Li Feihong."
"Heh, brother, you're an amateur. Do you know how many game theme songs Li Feihong has written?"
"Does this have anything to do with quantity? Didn't Li Feihong get completely outclassed by Ting Yu's song 'The Undefeated' last time?"
The two started arguing as they spoke.
Su Yu, however, was bewildered. How did they suddenly bring him into the conversation?
At this moment, the voices of the two grew louder, attracting others around them to join in.
"The fans of your Ting Yu are like this, holding onto one victory for months. If he's really that capable, why hasn't he released more songs related to games? Moreover, 'The Undefeated' isn't really a game theme song; it's a tribute to heroes!"
"This brother speaks the truth. Strictly speaking, theme songs are about the game itself."
"In terms of classics, it still has to be Li Feihong."
"Heh, you're changing the subject. No matter how good Li Feihong is, he's a top producer, while Ting Yu is a music god!"
"Exactly, besides Tencent, which game company can afford to have a music god write songs for them?"
"And Ting Yu simply doesn't care about the production fees in the gaming industry."
"..."
Listening to the cacophony of discussions around him, Su Yu felt he should step in and say something fair.
He cleared his throat, "Is there a possibility that Ting Yu just doesn't have the time to get involved in this circle?"
He really hadn't paid much attention to the gaming industry before. If it weren't for A Bin this time, he might not have had any contact with the gaming circle.
After all, he only rested for a month after the city finals before starting the Masked Singer King again, so the only time he interacted with the gaming industry was with the song "The Undefeated" last time.
Su Yu's statement caused the argument to suddenly halt.
Then, the two people who were arguing heatedly all turned to look at him.
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. How could Ting Yu not have time?"
"Yes, you know nothing about Ting Yu. Ting Yu simply looks down on game theme songs."
"Bullshit, Ting Yu knows he can't beat Li Feihong, so he dares not come to the gaming circle!"
"Do you know Ting Yu's song release speed? What nonsense are you talking about?"
The two groups, who were arguing fiercely moments ago, suddenly turned their attention to Su Yu.
Su Yu, however, was completely baffled.
I just spoke a truth, where am I talking nonsense?
I don't understand Ting Yu??
I don't know Ting Yu's song release speed?
"Fine..."
As long as you're happy...
