That's why he panicked, put down his phone, and paced back and forth in the room, constantly thinking to himself.
"What kind of luck did Xinghuo have to make it onto the news? Their fame and influence are going to rise to a new level."
When was the last time our penguins appeared on the national news program, "Xinwen Lianbo"?
"Hmm... Has the penguin ever been on the evening news?"
The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became. He grabbed a cup from the table and gulped down a mouthful of water, but that didn't calm the turmoil in his heart.
The saying goes, "There is no harm without comparison."
Ma Xiao knew very well.
Public opinion in the market is becoming increasingly unfavorable for penguins.
The reason is actually very simple.
For example, if there were only one mobile phone manufacturer in China, and it sold the same product year after year, it might get criticized, but it would definitely be able to sell its products.
But if they come, they'll be given a new factory.
The products they offer are reasonably priced, perform well, and look good.
If you continue doing this, you'll definitely not make any money and you'll only get scolded.
As time progressed to 2019, Ma Xiao could clearly feel that with the continuous rise of Xinghuo, the players' doubts about Penguin Games were growing louder.
"We have to do something; we can't just sit here and wait to die."
Although I hate to admit it.
But in reality, if we set aside other factors and look at the game alone...
Penguins have become the challengers.
Spark has already secured a place in the hearts of players, and to surpass them would require tremendous effort and sacrifice.
In the entire Chinese gaming industry, apart from Tencent.
The vast majority of game industry professionals, including Xinghuo.
After learning that Xinghuo was featured on the news, everyone's morale was greatly boosted. In many cases, this is crucial to whether an industry can take off.
We really need to look at the leader.
Previously, Tencent was the leading company in China, so all game developers in China were obsessed with traffic.
They think that as long as the data allowance is high.
Even the worst games can sell.
Especially in the later stages, miHoYo's spending on user acquisition reached astronomical figures, yet miHoYo was still willing to continue buying users.
Essentially, it operates on the same logic as Tencent.
They all don't want to improve the content; they just want to make a living off traffic.
However, Tencent relies on its own user traffic to make a living, while miHoYo spends money to buy user traffic.
But this is possible on this timeline.
With the successful conclusion of the Summer Games Festival.
With the release of Black Myth and other Chinese games, there is no doubt...
Spark has become a leading game in China.
It is at least the leading single-player game manufacturer in China.
Seeing his elder brother appear on the evening news was naturally very encouraging.
News Broadcast!!
In some ways, this is an extension of the national will.
Many games on the Spark platform even gave players a wave of benefits because of this.
It started with Azur Lane.
After distributing the gifts, they also sent out a poster. The poster didn't mention celebrating being on the news, but only said that something good had happened today, so they were giving gifts.
The initial plan for Azur Lane's operation may have truly been to create a mess.
However, as Azur Lane's Weibo account became popular, a large number of players started taking Azur Lane posters around and "demanding payment".
Thus, titles like *Punishing: Gray Raven*, *Mercury World*, *My Other World*, *Arknights*, *Magic Academy*, *Battlefront Girls*, and *Honkai Impact 3rd*...
A bunch of games were distributed like a game of musical chairs.
to the end.
Similar comments appeared under the official accounts of almost every game.
"Everyone else has posted, but you haven't. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on Xinghuo, looking down on President Lin? Are you planning a rebellion?!"
The players have been slapping a heavy label on them.
Most of the games on the Xinghuo platform followed suit.
The funniest thing is that some Japanese manufacturers, and even European and American manufacturers, followed suit without understanding the situation, and even copied the content of the posters from Chinese manufacturers.
Something good is going to happen today.
This phrase spread far and wide, and eventually it became known not only as a platform like Spark.
After things got lively.
There were just too many people joining in the fun.
This scene left overseas players completely bewildered.
What?
Is China celebrating a festival again today?
How come I get freebies as soon as I log in?
At this point, someone stepped forward to explain that Xinghuo had been featured on China's national television news.
Overseas players were even more confused.
Why does it take such a big fuss to make it into the news?
So, Chinese gamers then explained the significance of the evening news broadcast...
That's how it is.
The fact that Xinghuo appeared on CCTV's evening news program unexpectedly sparked an internet frenzy.
Chapter 357 The Marvel Alliance of Bystanders
"Hey, who's the girl interviewing President Lin? She's pretty."
The broadcast of the news program not only caused another stir in the domestic news about Xinghuo, but also...
There was also an unexpected bonus.
That's why Wang Bingbing also became famous.
Because the entire CCTV news broadcast included not only Lin Li, but also an interview with Wang Bingbing.
Although it was only a very simple conversation.
However, Wang Bingbing still became a huge hit thanks to her approachable personality and the video's incredibly high viewership.
Thereafter.
CCTV News on Bilibili also released a full version of the interview video.
It also includes some footage of Wang Bingbing trying out the game.
These images reveal many details: firstly, Wang Bingbing and Lin Li have a good relationship; secondly, this girl's gameplay is quite entertaining.
For example, their reactions when they were scared while playing Lost Land were also very cute.
Well known.
For gamers, developing feelings for someone can happen very quickly.
Almost overnight, after Xinghuo became a trending topic on CCTV's news program, Wang Bingbing also became a trending topic on Weibo, and her videos on Bilibili gained her countless fans.
to this end.
Wang Bingbing even made a special phone call to Lin Li to express her gratitude.
"If you have the chance to come to Beijing, I'll treat you to king crab."
Lin Li could sense Wang Bingbing's joy from her light voice. For Lin Li, having a familiar host on CCTV was not a bad thing.
Once Wang Bingbing becomes more famous, hosting Spark's events will likely be much more effective.
Who would complain about having a wide network of connections?
Lin Li knew no, so he smiled and agreed.
I hung up the phone.
He happened to run into Su Shanshan, who was coming out of the office looking for him.
"Who should I call?"
"Wang Bingbing".
"Isn't that Wang Bingbing who interviewed you on the evening news? She's quite cute."
Su Shanshan's tone remained unchanged.
However, an alarm instantly went off in Lin Li's mind.
"cute?"
"It's quite cute."
"I don't think you're as cute as me."
Hear this.
Even Su Shanshan, who was already considered an "old married couple," blushed.
This is, after all, the office, not home.
"Who, who asked you to say that? I'm going to the meeting room now, I'll come over for the meeting later."
Lin Li smiled slightly.

The Summer Games Festival has ended, but its impact continues.
Especially the next day, which is tonight.
