Rebirth of the Internet Overlord

In the first second, the introductions of Huang Jianxiang and Xiao Cang also brought the audience's attention to expectation and search.

But the next second, Avril Lavigne with iridescent hair slowly rose from the center of the stage. Her face with a strong smoke was reflected on the big screen.

When the music started, she slowly opened her eyes.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his rich voice made everyone hold their breath unconsciously.

…

Legends never die(Cries from all over the world)

When the world is g you(Forged into a legend that will never fade)

you hear them sg out your name(Everyone calls your name)

…

They never lose hope whehing's d the fighting's near

It's deep in their bohey'll run ihe fire is fierce(The embers of the fierce fire will eventually dissipate)

…

But you'll he price it costs the scars collected all their lives

Whehing's lost they pick up their hearts a(Heaven takes everything away and uses it as an enemy)

Before it all starts they suffer through harm just to touch a dream(Looking back, I was just a boy chasing dreams)

Oh pick yourself up 'cause (Toss your head and drain your blood)

Legends never die(Cries from all over the world)

…

Although many people do not understand English, music never needs words to express it. The depression gradually moves to high spirits and then to a surging climax, which can make the audience in the audience excited.

After the song was played, the place was completely silent.

But within three seconds, there was thunderous applause again.

The power of music is already powerful, not to mention that the person in front of me is a world-famous diva-level singer! Her personal interpretation made this e-sports song imbued with a different meaning.

This is an exclusive venue for e-sports, and the singer of this song is a music queen.

E-sports, which is developing silently in the dark, and video games that are scorned by the elders, will be brought to the table to enjoy such upright treatment?

E-sports players who have been walking in the dark for several years cannot help but have red eyes, and in the online live broadcast room where the subtitles can be clearly seen, the barrage has already exploded!

"The world-famous Bird's Nest Stadium, diva-level singer performances, and the opening ceremony of the global live broadcast! I feel that the spring for our games and e-sports is here!!!"

"I'm already crying, you can do whatever you want..."

"As an amateur player who has been struggling in the Chinese e-sports industry, this song at this opening ceremony is full of melancholy and memories!"

"Whether you are a former professional or amateur player, or someone who is about to enter this industry. After today, please remember to be young and have no regrets, and move forward bravely!"

There are many online viewers who have gone through e-sports and cannot help but leave their voices on the Internet.

And more entertainment audiences, in addition to feeling their melancholy, actively participated in this carnival.

"This song... is so damn good."

“It’s a shame that I’m uneducated, so I can take over the world with just one word.”

"The Queen of Heaven deserves her title. This song makes people's blood boil."

"I really regret not going there. If I could hear it live once, it would be worth it in my life."

"555555555555, in-person tickets for Queen of Heaven's concerts have been sold to 3,000 yuan by scalpers, but our in-person tickets for the Coldplay Global Championship only cost 200. This song alone is worth the price!"

"Hey, hey, have you noticed that the lyricist and composer are Ning Zimo, the arranger is Jay Chou, and the vocalist is Avril Lavigne. Just this song has already gathered so many big names!"

"Holy shit, I just wanted to say this. This is really a master of lyrics and music. What's more important is that the Chinese-English translation is really awesome!"

"You have become a legend and will never die. Everyone in the world calls you by your name...Niu B."

"What's the title of the song..."

"Stop searching, this song is debuting for the first time. The literal translation is "The Legend Will Never Die", but the Chinese lyrics and music may have more connotation than the direct translation."

"Emmmm, I only pay attention to one issue. If Avril Lavigne is the mysterious guest at this opening ceremony, then the well-known ex-girlfriend of the boss is not mysterious at all."

"That's a problem..."

"Shh... don't bother, the host is on stage."

…

Huang Jianxiang and Xiao Cang walked onto the stage to warm applause. They stood on the left and right next to the queen and once again led the audience with applause to thank Avril Lavigne for the song she contributed to everyone.

"Everyone tells me whether Avril Lavigne's song "Legend Forever" sounds good or not!"

“Sounds great!!!!”

The deafening response made Avril Lavigne, who was standing in the center of the stage, smile sweetly. When her seagull-shaped mouth appeared on the screen, the shouts from the audience suddenly became even louder.

After allowing the audience to shout wildly for a while, Xiao Cang finally said: "Avril is our special guest at the Coldplay Global Championship. Let's let her have a few words with the summoners, commanders and heroes."

"good!!!"

Queen, why don't we let her stay a few more minutes?

The audience's applause lasted for a long time, just to let the diva stay in the spotlight for more time.

Avril listened to the audience's warm applause, and it took her a while before she raised the microphone to her mouth.

As soon as she moved, the audience suddenly became silent.

"Hi, summoners, commanders and heroes. I am Avril Lavigne. Thank you all for coming to the opening ceremony of the Coldplay Global Championship."

Avril Lavigne actually said hello in Chinese!

Although the pronunciation of many words was not standard, the music superstar spoke in Chinese at the Bird's Nest Stadium in China. This alone made everyone dumbfounded and couldn't help but sigh.

"Players in League of Legends and DOTA are all summoners, players in the real-time strategy and competitive game series are all commanders, and players in the FPS series are heroes. This title makes me feel extremely powerful."

“The whole world is learning Chinese, S·H·E didn’t lie to me!”

"Hey, hey, your point is wrong, isn't it? Isn't the point to figure out the meaning behind the Queen's Chinese words! This is not just the ex-girlfriend of the boss, she is a Canadian, and her native language is English. This ex-girlfriend's status is a blessing

It gives the queen the motivation to learn Chinese.”

"I think there must be something going on here."

"The boss has not had a girlfriend for so many years. Could it be that he is waiting for the little queen."

"They were only 16 or 7 years old when they met. It was pure first love!"

"555555555555555, although I feel like I'm eating dog food... but seeing such true love, I really hope they can get back together."

"Avril has already been married once, so the boss is our husband..."

"Female player...hum!"

"Shh~~ Calm down the barrage, where are you now?"

…

Feeling that the audience was suffocating for a while and then getting excited again, Avril couldn't help but laugh.

She enjoyed the stage very much, especially since Ning Zimo helped him create this song.

After quietly enjoying the light tube in the center of this gorgeous stage, Avril finally picked up the microphone: "I am very grateful to have such an opportunity to stand on a stage exclusive for young people and sing a song that I would rather write for everyone. I

I really enjoy performing on this stage and also enjoy the charm of this stage.

We all know that e-sports brings us together. This is an industry that is gradually developing, and it is a path that many seniors in the music industry have worked on step by step with their own efforts."

As Avril opened up the topic, faces that some were unfamiliar to but others were extremely familiar appeared on the big screen.

At this time, Xiao Cang walked out according to the established script:

"Since the first WCG Global Competition was officially launched in South Korea in 2000, "Quake III", "StarCraft", "CS" and other projects were officially launched in that competition..."

Many champions of previous e-sports competitions flashed on the screen, but the ones most familiar to Chinese e-sports players are RocketBoy Meng Yang who won the FPS game "Quake" in 2004, and "Warcraft" three years ago.

Skye-Li Xiaofeng, who won the championship, and Boxer, the "StarCraft" player who represents the pinnacle of Korean e-sports.

Screens representing e-sports events also rise from the center of the stage in order from left to right.

That's Quake,

It's "StarCraft",

It's "Warcraft",

It's "CS".

Each screen is imprinted with the photo of the e-sports player who best represents this project.

Finally, two black figures were displayed on the two screens of "League of Legends" and "Dota".

Everyone knows that this is because "League of Legends" and "Dota" are making their debuts in Wanku Global E-sports, so there are no champions for these two projects yet.

When everyone was aroused to be curious, Huang Jianxiang's voice also came out calmly: ""Legend Forever" is the creation of legendary players all the way to e-sports, but it is obvious that the road is still very long. Therefore, the road to e-sports is still

There are many people who continue to move forward, and there will always be new heroes emerging..."

The gorgeous light on the stage dimmed at the same moment, and a few beams of light illuminated several fixed points on the stage from above.

The host and the queen were fading out of the stage, and an animation suddenly played on the huge screen.

As the fast-paced rhythm of the piano began, the chassis fan on the screen also started to rotate, and the game loading screen was reflected on the computer screen.

On the slowly rising stages are a person playing the piano, a person beating the drums, and a person singing with his head down in the center of the stage.

"Damn it, the singer is the boss!"

"The piano player is Jay Chou!"

"The person playing the drum is JJ Lin!"

"This is the most famous combination!"

"Two eyes are simply not enough!!!"

Ning Zimo's slightly hoarse voice reached everyone's ears as soon as he opened his mouth.

As a child, you would wait. And wat far away. (When you were still an ignorant child, you often watched the game from a distance)

But you always k you'll be the o work while they all play.(But you are already full of expectations and determined to be on stage)

In youth, you’y, awake at night and scheme(When you fall asleep alone when you are young, you always wake up suddenly in the middle of the night)

of all the things that you would ge,(determined to experience and change everything,)

but it was just a dream! (But it was just a dream)

Here we are, don't turn away now, (We are here now, don't turn away)

we are the warriors that built this town. (We build this city and wear armor)

From Dust.(covered with dust)

The time will e, when you'll have to rise(When you have the strength to aspire, your time will come)

above the best, improve yourself, (defeat the best to prove yourself)

your spirit never dies!(Your fighting spirit will never fade)

Farewell, I've goake my throne above (waving goodbye to the public, I've given up my canopy)

don't weep for me(Don't weep for me)

Cuz this will be bor of my love(Because my heart is still surging)

…

The screen showed a scene of a team of comrades competing. Every figure there had no face but was filled with shadows of young people.

Although they may not be playing the same game as myself, the games must have a common name—e-sports.

The ball of light gathered in the hands of the animated characters is more like all the strength that everyone here has used to pursue their dreams.

And the scene of them working hard in front of the computer is very similar to the years that everyone sitting here has bowed their heads to.

The sometimes low and sometimes high-pitched singing in the ears reminds people of a certain moment in the game.

All the power contained in videos, music, and memories are gathered into one thought at this moment.

E-sports is no longer as simple as a game at this time.

That is the power to awaken youth,

That is the courage to chase your dreams,

That is youth without regrets.

Whether you are 16 years old, 26 years old or 36 years old.

Every part of youth should be like running in this song,

make up your mind,

towards the dream,

Chase bravely.

…

At the moment the music stopped, the light beam on the stage also shone on Ning Zimo, Jay Chou and JJ Lin who were gathered in the center of the stage.

Seeing them reunited with microphones, the audience felt like they had just been immersed in the music and couldn't extricate themselves.

"Welcome to the Coldplay Esports Global Championship," Ning Zimo picked up the microphone and smiled, "I don't know, are you satisfied with the opening ceremony performance so far?"

"Satisfied!" The audience said in unison.

Jay Chou also picked up the microphone and asked, "Do you like listening?".

"like."

"Then do you want more?" JJ Lin stood up.

"want!"

Ning Zimo looked at the two young superstars beside him and smiled, then turned his head but could only shake his head at the stands where everyone was shouting:

"Professional people do professional things. I am not a genius who grew up in the music industry like Jay Chou and Junjie. So, just these two songs have already exhausted my skills. If you want more, it will definitely not be me."

What can be given."

There was a burst of good-natured laughter from the stands. They enjoyed the Internet giant's self-mockery at such a moment.

There are also some people who are surprised that this Internet giant, who is not much different in age from them, has such a hidden ability.

Not wanting to speculate on the thoughts of everyone in the stands, Ning Zimo smiled and shrugged:

"After more than ten years of development in front of and behind the scenes, e-sports is gradually entering the world of more people and becoming a stage exclusive for young people. I think everyone enjoys this stage and enjoys being able to follow this stage.

This moment in front of the stage.”

A fierce affirmative answer followed Ning Zimo's speech and echoed throughout the Bird's Nest Stadium.

When Ning Zimo picked up the microphone again, the stadium became quiet.

"The Coldplay Esports Global Championship can start as scheduled today because of the hard work of many esports seniors. Therefore, I would like to thank these people for their efforts together with everyone."

Many of the audience at the scene were e-sports fans, and some were people who had struggled in this shallow industry. When Ning Zimo made a move, many people immediately applauded

.

There are those who praise others and some who give it to themselves. But the thunderous applause is actually echoed over the bird's nest.

Accompanied by loud and neat applause, faces and names flashed on the screen in time.

For many people in the e-sports circle, that is a familiar name in their circle. It is their hard work that has gradually made e-sports the great situation it is today. And for some people, despite the camera

His face flashed past, but it still made them so excited that they couldn't help themselves.

The prolonged applause lasted for a minute before it stopped as the big screen dimmed.

Ning Zimo arrived at the right time, "Before I went on stage, I watched the Youku barrage. Many players commented on it that the opening ceremony of the Coldplay E-sports Global Championship was so grand that it meant the spring of e-sports. Originally, I should have thanked everyone for their support.

I applaud this opening ceremony, but actually I don’t completely agree with this sentence.”

"Oh? How do you say this?"

Jay Chou, who had rehearsed in advance, asked timely questions, while JJ Lin on the other side also showed a curious expression.

The tacit understanding between the two made Ning Zimo laugh, "Because when we are saying this, we regard e-sports and gaming to be on the stage as a struggle against the ideas of the older generation and an important part of life.

.

But in fact, e-sports and games are only a part of life, but they are not the whole part of life. Only by glassing out those negative resistance emotions and insisting on embodying the true positive values ​​is the essence of e-sports and games."

JJ Lin also responded, "For example?"

“E-sports and games contain many things that have not been explored.

For example, the courage to explore in the face of the unknown;

Brave creation that dares to face the future;

Resolute execution with an obsession with repetition;

And bold breakthroughs within the rules and regulations, etc.”

Counting them one by one with his fingers, Ning Zimo smiled and said, "In the game, you can easily discover the good character hidden in your body. In the competition, you can hone yourself in every moment of trying to win.

Looking back, we will find that games and e-sports, like many interesting things at this time, can allow you to easily explore the good qualities you need to survive in the world. But games and e-sports will not tell you that you need to change yourself from

Only by being separated from the virtual can we truly experience a better life in reality.”

The silent bird's nest echoed what Ning Zimo had just said.

Some people who have experienced the early development of e-sports have carefully considered the meaning of Ning Zimo’s words.

Before the audience in front of the stage and behind the screen had finished digesting it, Ning Zimo continued: "Exploring and enjoying in games, and then thinking and transforming in life, these are the extra things that games and e-sports bring to us.

Our generation of young people who are obsessed with games and e-sports must be able to step in and get out at the same time, so that we can convey these positive things and keep going on this road!

Therefore, I do not advocate that everyone should regard the opening ceremony of the Coldplay Global E-sports Competition as the spring of e-sports, but rather regard everything that happens today and after today as a period of youth without regrets.

Let us use every moment of our youth to explore and enjoy all the beauty contained in e-sports and games that e-sports and games bring to you. Let us swim in e-sports and games and use our youth to

A human way to enjoy youth wantonly!

Because youth will eventually meet again, and life should move forward."

boom……

As soon as Ning Zimo finished speaking,

The Bird's Nest Stadium was suddenly filled with noise!!!
