Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Most of what we know comes from feedback from Chinese players.

He doesn't communicate much with Western players, except for occasional interactions on Twitter.

So when Lin Li first saw people gathering around, he really intended to chat with these players.

However, as the number of people increased...

The security personnel at the scene were also a bit worried, in order to prevent any safety incidents.

Lin Li could only chat briefly with the fans before leaving under the direction of security.

They withdrew.

This scene was captured by Wang Bingbing and Song Xiaoxia.

"President Lin's popularity is rising."

After finally reaching the media area, as the density of people decreased, although the number of people greeting Lin Li didn't decrease much, overall...

At least we don't have to worry about stampedes anymore.

The three of them sat down in the interview room of the Spark Media exhibition area.

While saying that Lin Li's popularity had risen again, Wang Bingbing was also inwardly marveling at how much Lin Li had changed in just three years.

three years ago.

When she interviewed Lin Li, he was just a fledgling young man.

Three years later, Lin Li has become the CEO of a global group.

Fans are so enthusiastic in the US.

To be honest, it was quite surprising to see a group of blond-haired, blue-eyed Americans cheering so enthusiastically for one of their own.

Wang Bingbing was still somewhat surprised.

The visual impact is far more impressive than any of the achievements Spark has made overseas.

think carefully.

Lin Li has not only gained fame overseas, but also reportedly has millions of followers on three major domestic platforms: Weibo, Bilibili, and Douyin.

In contrast.

I interviewed Lin Li three years ago.

Three years later.

They're still going around in circles.

Lin Li, who had just emerged from the crowd, wiped the sweat from his forehead and waved his hand.

The weather in Los Angeles in August isn't actually that hot, but when people gather, it can get quite humid.

"The players are so enthusiastic."

"Come, come, Bingbing, sit here."

Upon hearing this new title, Song Xiaoxia, who was following behind Wang Bingbing, was somewhat surprised.

This form of address is somewhat intimate.

However, Wang Bingbing didn't seem to feel anything.

After all, in the past two or three years, she has heard Lin Li go from calling her "Sister Bingbing" to "Bingbing" now.

It's not that Lin Li has changed.

It was Wang Bingbing who took the initiative to speak. After all, it's a favor to call someone "Sister Bingbing," but if she keeps calling him that, it's actually not a good thing.

Do you need a camera?

Lin Li is also very familiar with CCTV interviews; if it's just taking photos, then it's a written interview.

If a camera is set up, then it's a video interview.

Different interviews naturally require different approaches.

Wang Bingbing originally just wanted to take a few interview photos.

Song Xiaoxia suggested recording the video.

Lin Li cooperated.

We were all old acquaintances, so the interview was arranged in no time.

"Sister Bingbing, could this interview be broadcast on the evening news today?"

Hearing Lin Li bring up the nickname "Sister Bingbing" again...

Wang Bingbing was quite happy at first.

Although she felt it wasn't quite right to keep calling her that and asked Lin Li to just call her Bingbing, it still felt nice to hear Lin Li say it occasionally, especially when she saw Song Xiaoxia's surprised expression.

I wanted to make a joke, but then I thought about my situation of being exiled here.

So she brushed a stray hair behind her ear.

replied.

"It's not that easy. We'll be lucky if this interview even makes the news..."

Lin Li sighed.

"Another feature article?"

Wang Bingbing was overjoyed to hear this.

"What's wrong? You're not happy about the feature article? Lots of people want to have their articles published but don't have anywhere to go."

Lin Li was also amused.

Lin Li had actually been thinking about appearing on CCTV's evening news since the summer game festival opened.

Chapter 344 It's definitely open!

The reason is simple.

One reason is to get endorsements.

Secondly, it's also because I recently heard rumors that Xiong Rui is going to be promoted.

The former leader was promoted.

This is a good thing for Lin Li.

However, this matter is like a boot on the table, it has never landed.

Some time ago.

When discussing the game "Changing the World" in October, Xiong Rui vaguely mentioned that he wanted to do something, such as game rating.

Of course, Lin Li felt that this was more like a Chinese-style campaign slogan.

Whether it will work out or not, let's put that aside for now.

Xiong Rui's idea was serious, and he was serious about pushing this forward. Even with China's rating system, it's impossible to say that anything above R18 can be considered very explicit.

However, if this classification system can be implemented, it could indeed solve some problems.

After all, times are changing.

Just like Black Myth.

From a more conservative perspective, this thing has absolutely no chance of getting a publishing license, let alone being released in China.

But then again.

Although Xiong Rui wanted to push it, according to Huaxia's logic, this kind of thing couldn't be brought up by Xiong Rui; it had to be brought up by a manufacturer.

who?

That is, of course, a spark.

Lin Li took this matter quite seriously and was quite cautious about it.

If you really want to bring this up.

Then Xinghuo needs to continue to elevate its own image.

News Broadcast.

That can be considered one approach.

There is also a more subtle reason.

If it doesn't make the news now, it might be difficult to make it in the following years, since mainstream media will be reporting on more important things at that time.

Amidst a multitude of planning projects.

He felt that although appearing on the evening news was difficult, it wasn't entirely impossible. After all, Lin Li had done a good job of promoting Chinese games in front of the world and raised the bar for Chinese games.

But ironically, this applies to both the opening ceremony and now.

CCTV also reported on it.

However, it was only featured on CCTV News website.

He hasn't even posted a video on Bilibili.

That's why Lin Li asked this question.

"Is it really absolutely impossible? Sister Bingbing, do you have any internal standards for this kind of news?"

"That really stumped me."

As he was saying this, he actually got himself into a dilemma.

Deep down, Wang Bingbing began to think about it seriously.

"Appearing on the evening news isn't something any one person can decide, but it's not entirely without clues either. If there are overseas..."

It's not particularly new for game companies to appear on CCTV's evening news.

Ding Lei appeared twice, in "Fantasy Westward Journey" in 09 and "World of Warcraft" in 11.

In 13, the actual sales revenue of original Chinese online games in overseas markets exceeded US$10 billion, and the CEO of Perfect World also attended the event as a representative.

There have been news reports about game entrepreneurs in Zhongguancun over the past 15 years.

However, as time went on...

As games are portrayed as a scourge, the CCTV Evening News reports less and less about the gaming industry.

Further on.

Around the Spring Festival of 17, Lin Li managed to get a few seconds of free time at the Qiongzhou Game Industry Summit.

However, Xinghuo has never provided a complete report on it.

To outsiders, what kind of news gets featured on CCTV's evening news is a very mysterious thing.

However, from the perspective of practitioners.

It's not entirely without any clues.

One point that Wang Bingbing specifically mentioned is that it has significant international influence.

Especially social news.

Lin Li then pressed further, asking, "What constitutes significant international influence? Does Spark's initiative in organizing this global gaming expo count as having international influence?"

Wang Bingbing pondered for a while.

"It doesn't count."

In other words, the matter itself certainly has international influence.

It's hard to say exactly how much international influence this has; ultimately, there's no quantifiable measure.

When Wang Bingbing said that...

Lin Li did have some ideas.

"So, it turns out I made the right decision to accept the BBC interview?"
