Perhaps noticing the confusion in He Ruiyang's eyes, Lin Li stood up and walked to the whiteboard he knew best.
First, they drew a circle and wrote the word "legend" on it.
“We can create an offline variety show venue, just like you said, and invite some well-known producers to participate. That’s feasible.”
"However, at the same time, this program can also be broadcast live, showing the entire game production process. Meanwhile, all participating players can create their own games at home or somewhere else."
"During this live stream, we can arrange for teachers to give lessons or provide corresponding tutorials."
"After 48 hours, we will give you one hour to upload."
"And we will collect all the works and select a certain number of them through the preliminary rounds."
"For example, 100 games?"
"These games, created by Spark Maker, must have basic playability before we package and release these 100 games."
"Of course, my work will also be included, but all of my work will be presented anonymously."
"Players who participate in the scoring need to play all the games. We will use the scoring template that we render as 100. Players need to play each game for at least 5 minutes before they can score it."
"If I am the one who ultimately comes in first place among the players, then it will be fine even if all the challengers fail."
"If a player doesn't choose me, then the person who surpasses me becomes the new legend, and we award them a legend medal."
He Ruiyang's first reaction after hearing the plan was, "Are we really going to go this far?"
My second reaction was that this plan did seem to be more interactive than the previous one, and more importantly, the publicity was incredibly effective.
At the same time, he also genuinely admired Lin Li.
It's important to know that even well-known producers can easily fail in these 48-hour production competitions.
However, Lin Li seemed completely unconcerned and appeared very confident.
~~~
A few days later, at a photography studio in Xinghuo.
"Click, click."
The clicking of cameras was incessant as Lin Li and Su Shanshan took photos in a studio filled with lighting equipment.
This was a relatively novel experience for both of them.
To be honest, although Lin Li and Su Shanshan have been together for almost three years, they don't have many photos of each other, and even fewer photos of them together. They don't have as many photos of each other as they do this time.
"Come on, Mr. Lin, we need to record a video. You need to shout a slogan."
The purpose of this visit to the studio is nothing more than to shoot footage for the second Spark Games Competition.
After making slight modifications and optimizations to He Ruiyang's plan, the new version of the plan quickly entered the implementation phase.
The revised plan has become a rather "sparking" project.
Once the plan was finalized, He Ruiyang's high level of execution was immediately demonstrated. The initial publicity and promotion began, and the promotional video for the event was released shortly afterward.
Normally, by this point, the whole thing would have nothing to do with Lin Li anymore.
He only needs to keep track of the progress and see if there are any major deviations. As long as there are no major deviations, he can just give reminders about some minor issues.
After all, he manages quite a few projects, and if he had to handle every little problem in every project, he wouldn't be able to keep up.
However, this event is indeed somewhat different.
After all, he is the male lead of this event, as seen in the event's promotional video.
According to the plan and the competition format, each team should have 4 people, that is, Lin Li plus 3 people, to form the Spark Team.
Accept external challenges.
This number of participants was carefully considered, because the competition is essentially about promoting Game Maker and showcasing the tool's features within 48 hours.
What Spark wants is to demonstrate what kind of finished product can be produced in the final 48 hours.
Four people working for 48 hours is the time Spark calculated internally. As long as you have some basic knowledge, you can at least create a complete game with that kind of personnel.
With the Spark Team's public announcement within Spark, the entire organization erupted in an uproar almost instantly.
A heated debate erupted within Spark regarding who should join Lin Li and form a legendary team.
A whole bunch of the main creators from Xinghuo Studio, such as Hai Mao, Song Shiyu, Chen Anyu, Yuwan, and even some art directors and copywriters who are quite familiar with Lin Li, such as Li Xinyu and Chen Yanqin...
At first, Lin Li didn't think much of it; he just wanted to select a few people to participate in the competition with him.
However, Su Shanshan quickly rejected this idea.
In the final event plan, the Spark Team was changed to consist of just her and Lin Li.
The official explanation given to the public is...
"It takes two people to showcase the convenience of game development mastery and the legendary characteristics of the Spark Squad."
Chapter 410 The Amazing Promotional Video
Internally, Su Shanshan felt that it wouldn't be good for Lin Li to form a legendary team with anyone.
If Lin Li, Hai Mao, and other key members of Xinghuo Group don't bring along anyone else, the show's appeal will be lost.
It would be better to just have Su Shanshan and Lin Li.
It's more interesting to watch, and it can also soothe people's hearts, preventing any disharmony from arising internally over such a small matter.
Lin Li felt that Su Shanshan was exaggerating a bit; it was just a show, there wasn't that much ulterior motive involved.
But in the end, he did not accept the adjustment.
Given the relationship between Lin Li and Su Shanshan, no one in the company would object to them teaming up.
Once the plan was finalized, the next step was naturally to promote it.
Since the entire project revolves around Lin Li, the publicity will also focus on Lin Li. The content that the two filmed this afternoon will take up a large portion of the publicity.
The original plan from the publicity department was to take a set of business-style photos of the two of them.
In other words, both of them were dressed in suits and business attire, and the background was a coffee shop, meeting room, or office setting. The poses were also of people drinking coffee, looking at laptops, or flipping through a book in front of a bookshelf.
However, after Lin Li arrived at the site and saw the plan,
We chose another option.
"Don't be so rigid. Try to connect with the players; make it more relaxed and enjoyable for gaming..."
From the founding of Spark to the present.
Lin Li's main image has always been one of approachability, and this time is no exception. He is not very satisfied with the publicity department's attempt to showcase professionalism.
Fortunately, the publicity department had a contingency plan and quickly changed its style.
Their clothing was relatively youthful, consisting of casual clothes from the Spark brand, and the theme was building blocks.
The idea of using building blocks to create abstract art and games.
For example, there are a bunch of text blocks and art blocks, which are used to express that making a game with Spark Master is as simple as building a house with blocks.
This script suited Lin Li's taste perfectly, and the filming process went relatively smoothly.
The only problem was that there were quite a few onlookers when the filming took place.
The main reason is that Xinghuo's promotional filming studio and Xinghuo platform's variety show filming are in the same place. As soon as people heard that the boss and his wife were filming a promotional video, many people in the studio building came to watch.
The atmosphere at Xinghuo Company was relatively relaxed. The intimacy between Lin Li and Su Shanshan during filming, and their long-married-couple-like relationship, excited countless onlookers.
Many people know about the relationship between Lin Li and Su Shanshan, but knowing it is one thing, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Later on, even the department that was filming the promotional video was affected to some extent.
"very good!"
"President Su, President Lin!! Look at me!!"
"Hey! Can I have a hug?"
"Yes, yes, very good, very good..."
At the photographer's request, the onlookers also wore expressions of "I've bumped into something, I've bumped into something."
The news spread even faster than the promotional video was released.
The main attraction is a popular voice actor program called "Spark" next door, which focuses on bilingual interaction.
Huh? What are you talking about?
The reason this show is interesting is that the host is the voice actress for Su Ying in Galaxy Paradise, and Qiao Wanyu doesn't speak Japanese.
Or to be more precise, they had never systematically studied Japanese, but only had some basic knowledge of Japanese through anime and the like. Initially, this show was a two-way prank show.
The show pranks involved making Qiao Wanyu and Hikaru Tono, the Japanese voice actress for Jin Yangyao in "Galaxy Paradise," perform for each other even though neither of them speaks the other's language.
I was just looking for a laugh because of the language barrier, but I didn't expect the prank video to be so funny.
Since both of them are actually newcomers in the voice acting industry, let's not even talk about Qiao Wanyu. Tono Hikaru only became truly famous in her previous life after Uma Musume and My Heroine.
So both of them took this voice actor program, which was advertised as "Galaxy Paradise," very seriously. However, when they arrived at the venue, they discovered that the other guest couldn't speak the language.
Surprisingly, they still managed to record for two hours despite their reluctance.
These two hours were edited into a 24-minute feature film, which immediately ignited the voice actor program circle, which is no longer a niche area.
Riding on the popularity of "Galaxy Paradise" and the video's own interesting reactions, it quickly rose to the top of the global viewership charts.
Originally intended as an Easter egg, or rather, the prank was so effective that the project "Huh? What are you talking about?" was officially launched the following week.
The two also became regular guests on the show.
The only problem is that the two guests are a bit far apart, but fortunately, the current productions are all recorded in batches, and each recording takes more than one to two days.
Record four episodes.
In addition, due to Xinghuo's current situation, voice actors from both Japan and China are frequently traveling between the two countries, so the travel expenses are negligible for Xinghuo.
Lin Li was filming in the studio when the second episode of this episode was being recorded.
The two guests couldn't communicate because of the language barrier, and while they were recording, the crew suddenly went to watch the commotion. Qiao Wanyu followed them to find the staff, but ended up getting caught up in the drama herself.
Then she excitedly wanted to pass on the news she had seen to Hikaru Tono.
Qiao Wanyu then proceeded to write and draw.
Ultimately, Hikaru Tono offered her interpretation.
"Huh? You mean you just saw President Lin kissing an actress?!"
Qiao Wanyu does not understand Japanese.
She can only repeat two words that she can understand.
He nodded excitedly.
"Yes, yes, yes!! Mr. Lin, a kiss! Ah, really, I never expected Mr. Lin to have such a gentle side."
On the other side, Hikaru Tono also couldn't understand much Chinese.
She could only break down the words she could understand.
"Right, right, right!!? Eh!!!! Really!? But, but doesn't President Lin have a girlfriend? Eh, eh! Can we say that..."
Then the camera showed Qiao Wanyu looking like she'd been hit, Tono Hikaru with a shocked expression and obvious emotional shock, and a staff member who was almost dying of laughter.
As expected, this episode generated a huge amount of buzz when it aired.
Many viewers burst out laughing at Tono Hikaru's bewildered expression, and the promotional video for Spark also went viral.
Underneath the official promotional video for "Beyond Spark - 48-Hour Game Creation Competition" released by Spark, a large number of people are asking why there is no kissing scene.
Another large group asked when Lin Li got a girlfriend, and marveled at Su Shanshan's looks.
Because there were so many such issues, while boosting the show's publicity, it also helped Su Shanshan gain popularity. Their shared experiences of going to university together, starting a business together, and eventually getting together were also revealed.
Some people are envious, while others are jealous, saying that this kind of relationship is definitely going to end...
In any case, the "Beyond Spark - 48-Hour Game Creation Competition" became a hit in a way that no one expected...
