Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1663 - Annual Game!



Chapter 1663: Annual Game!

December 7th, Saturday.

In Fish-Catching Internet Cafe, Qiao Liang, Cui Geng, and the other web novel authors were playing GOG in the brand new version while paying attention to the big screen not far away.

As Zhongdian Chinese Network developed rapidly, Cui Geng, the no-show, was now considered a reputable big boss author. Qiao Liang was now a well-known broadcaster. However, there were too many hidden talents in Jingzhou. No one cared about the occasional celebrities and internet celebrities.

The latest GPL league competition or internet cafe competition should have been broadcasted on the big screen, but today was different.

The big screen displayed the TGN award ceremony far away.

TGN was the most influential award ceremony in the gaming area and was known as the Oscars in the gaming world.

Of course, some people might not believe in its credibility. Some people would have different opinions or go to the judges every time it was evaluated. However, it was still the highest honor in the gaming circle. Many game designers were proud to be able to obtain the annual game on TGN.

After playing the game for a while, Qiao Liang looked at the big screen and asked, “Where are we?”

Someone immediately answered, “Soon, soon. Don’t start the game first. The annual game is about to be revealed.”

Hearing this, everyone in the internet cafe put down their games and turned to look at the big screen.

A few players stood up from their seats and leaned towards the big screen to take a closer look.

Yu Fei had brought a few core employees of the gaming department to the award ceremony this time. Boss Pei did not seem to intend to be present. This made the fans who loved Tengda Games feel a little pity.

He might not win an award even if he went, but what if?

In fact, Tengda Games had won a few small prizes at TGN’s award ceremony in the past. However, they had not caused much of a stir.

The reason for this was more complicated. On one hand, Boss Pei did not seem to be very enthusiastic about such award events. Neither the games department nor the film department actively participated. On the other hand, Tengda Games’ main influence was still the first in the country. Its target audience was also in the country, so its influence overseas was relatively weak.

The previous games, be it Repent and be Saved, Struggle, or Mission and Choice, were also very outstanding. However, the main advantage was that they had reached the peak in the same genre. However, they were still restricted in many ways by the annual game.

The game ‘Future You Choose’ was undoubtedly a strong competitor for the best game of the year.

Players might have said that Boss Pei no longer needed an annual game to prove his position in the global gaming circle but they were still a little jealous that he did not win this award.

Everyone was still looking forward to being able to take the annual game and make Boss Pei a true world-class game designer.

TGN’s stage was huge. Previously, it had been waiting. There were also a few latest promotional videos of games on the big screen.

These were all new information films that were anticipated by global players. They attracted the cheers of the audience.

The host walked up to the stage, and everyone fell silent. Everyone in the internet cafe abandoned their focus and waited for the results of the award.

The host cleared his throat seriously and said, “This year is a very special year. It is developing rapidly in the game industry. While traditional game companies are working hard, we are also delighted to see many new game companies rise rapidly. Some games in countries and regions have injected fresh blood into this award ceremony.”

“This is a very good sign for TGN. We are looking forward to the rise of more game merchants so that the global games industry can develop more.”

“Now, let’s invite TGN to play a song for all the nominated games!”

The camera panned around, ready for the music team to start playing.

The theme music of the few nominated games were very well integrated together. As these theme music screens appeared, game segments began to appear. The length of each game was about a minute.

These were all the top 3A games this year. The world’s top game designers had put in a lot of effort and spent a lot of money to obtain the title of the annual game.

When the image of ‘The Future You Choose’ appeared, the audience and Fish-Catching Internet Cafe burst into applause and cheers.

It was also a motor, but domestic players were obviously more surprised. They did not expect this game to be so popular overseas.

“I didn’t expect the audience to react so enthusiastically. Do foreigners like this game?”

“That’s right. Whether it’s a game or a movie, ‘The Future’ has a lot of influence overseas. I can only say that the theme selection this time is very pleasing!”

“I think the game ‘The Future You Choose’ is firstly very interesting. Whether it is the game mechanism or the map structure, the gameplay of this online game can obtain the largest group of players. Secondly, the plot is more meaningful. What’s more, domestic and foreign players can interpret what they want, even though these two interpretations might be different.”

“Yes, it’s the same for movies.”

The game ‘Future You Choose’ obviously had different interpretations for domestic and foreign players.

The foreign gamers did not pay attention to the commercial war between Tengda Corporation and the anti-Tengda Alliance, nor did they necessarily recognize the business that Qiao Liang interpreted about this game. However, this did not prevent them from interpreting and understanding this game from their own perspective!

Foreign players also did not lack hatred for large companies or worries about similar Cyberpunk worlds. What’s more, whether it was games or movies, they were more inclined to show the entire world from the protagonist’s personal perspective. They also used foreigners’ names and background settings. It was easier for foreign players to be immersive and accepted.

The candidate games had been revealed. Next was the final award ceremony.

The host carried the trophy onto the stage once again.

The award here was different from the movie. It was awarded by the host.

“Now, I happily announce that the best game of the year selected by 47 media outlets and fans around the world is…”

“‘The Future You Choose’ by Tengda Games!”

Thunderous applause and cheers immediately broke out the moment the host finished speaking.

The scene changed. Yu Fei hugged his colleagues around him in disbelief and came to the stage.

It was obvious that he was very surprised and nervous.

He even felt like he was sleepwalking when he took the trophy from the host.

“First, I would like to thank the judges of TGN and the gamers who love Tengda Games from all over the world. On behalf of the production team and all the employees of Tengda Corporation, I thank all the gamers for your long support.”

“To be honest, I’m still a little dazed now. That’s because I did not expect that I, an ordinary novel author, would be able to obtain such an honor for the annual game.”

“I might be the producer of this game but Boss Pei is the person who gave this game its soul. Boss Pei did not come to the venue today. However, he finally agreed to write a small paragraph of what he wanted to say to players under my repeated requests. I will read it out on his behalf on this occasion.”

Yu Fei took out the letter that he had prepared in advance as he spoke.

After translating his words, everyone applauded and cheered.

Foreign players had long heard of Boss Pei. There was no doubt that it was a pity that Boss Pei did not come to the venue this time.

However, Yu Fei’s words were not a loss at all.

“I am deeply honored and pressured by the love of global players.”

“The purpose of the game is to bring people joy. At the same time, it has the power to change the world.”

“As a player, I think the most beautiful feeling that the game gives me is the unknown. We are obsessed with it because we don’t know what will happen in the game in the next second.”

“Just like in reality, you will never be able to predict the consequences after you make a decision.”

“I sincerely hope that Tengda Games can bring joy to all players in the future. I also hope that all players can find the carefree spiritual world in the game and obtain the power to change reality from the game.”

“Some carefree people like gaming life. To gamers like us, games are life.”

“Once again, I thank everyone for your love for Tengda Games. I also hope that all the employees of the games team can work harder to bring better games to the players!”

Thunderous applause and cheers exploded in the venue, endless!

The award this time represented the start of Tengda Games’ era.

Everyone believed that this was not only a leap for Tengda Games, but also a brand new beginning for the domestic games industry!

Once an era began, it would not easily come to an end!

The development of the domestic games industry could be said to be full of trouble and misfortune. The privilege of being able to win the annual game was not only because of the joint efforts of Boss Pei and all the employees in Tengda Games, but also because of the countless independent game designers who persevered for their dreams and supported them unconditionally. The development of domestically-produced games was as a strong backer.

As Tengda Games’ layout industry gradually became stronger, more producers would definitely be called to work hard in the future for higher pursuits!
