Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Lin Li also planned to take the executives from Spark America to visit the executives of various game companies.

The purpose was not simply to build connections with higher-ups.

This also lays the groundwork for poaching talent in the future. After all, if you want to poach someone, you have to get their contact information first, right?

As for the second half...

That is, to contact and confirm the "Global Summer Games Festival".

It's actually simpler.

Before coming to the United States, Lin Li was the chairman of the organizer of the E3 exhibition and is now the chairman of the Summer Game Festival Committee.

Mike Gallagher.

They've already pretty much got the summer game festival all set.

Spark was responsible for organizing the entire Summer Games Festival. However, Spark was only the organizer, responsible for venue coordination and on-site management. The actual press conferences were still organized by the individual exhibitors themselves.

If you want to do it, and you have enough content to publish separately.

Then we can hold a press conference.

It has been preliminarily determined.

Mainly Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and Spark.

These four companies have a need for separate press conferences.

If you don't have that many new games to fill the void, but still want to hold a press conference, then collaboration is also an option.

For example, Capcom and Koei Tecmo of Japan, as well as Ekwell, decided to join forces to hold the event.

of course.

Before all the press conferences.

There is still a summer games festival opening ceremony.

The so-called opening ceremony.

It can be understood as a catalog or a gala.

Major game companies will allocate some content for this opening ceremony.

This is intended to entice players to watch subsequent individual presentations from various manufacturers.

After all the manufacturers had finished their press conferences.

There will be a summer demo event with at least tens of thousands of gaming devices prepared.

Manufacturers don't need to prepare their own booths; Spark will divide the space into zones, and all the demos will be installed on each computer, allowing players to choose which demos to play.

The gameplay data of these players will eventually be shared.

Of course, consoles like the PS4, XBOX, and Nintendo have their own separate sections.

In addition to the player demo area, there is also a media demo area.

The entire process is funded by Spark Entertainment through ticket sales, meaning Spark Entertainment provides the personnel, players pay for it, and the companies only need to send their own staff.

It was practically free.

Under this logic, the entire summer games event actually progressed very smoothly.

However, it seems that Spark is really going to make the Summer Games Festival a reality.

The people at E3 were furious.

They also began to exert pressure, while offering many game developers certain benefits, such as discounts on entry fees and more exhibition space.

At this point, E3 was still a formidable force, even if it was weakened.

When they put their efforts into it, quite a few major American game companies were indeed shaken.

After all, the effect of attending E3 is a stable value, since it's attended every year.

So budgeting is also very easy to do.

Participating in the Summer Games Festival is a completely unfamiliar thing. Even with a low budget, who can guarantee the final result?

thus.

Believe it or not, quite a few manufacturers are starting to have doubts.

Among them are some medium and large-sized manufacturers.

Therefore, in order to ensure that the Summer Game Festival is officially launched.

Lin Li began his visit.

That's why I went in person.

Besides the importance attached to it, there is another reason.

It's because if I don't go now, I probably won't have time to go in the future.

The same reason.

If we can't meet in person this year, we'll finalize the process and establish the format and framework for the entire summer game festival. Next year, we plan to hold a purely online summer game festival.

It will be more difficult.

As we all know, whether online or offline, it seems like the same two people are talking.

But the final result.

It's really different.

The same thing can't be resolved over the phone.

Maybe we can get it sorted out if we meet in person.

This rule applies not only in China, but also in the United States.

Taking the executives of Spark's US platform on a trip might yield different results in the future.

Lin Li at this moment.

They are no longer the young people they were a few years ago.

Their social status and position are what they are.

The recent surge in popularity of the Eastern fantasy world has been reported not only by Japanese media but also by Chinese media.

American media outlets are also reporting on it.

While speculating when Spark will become the world's number one manufacturer in terms of production volume.

The American media can be described as quite radical.

PCgames, the largest gaming website in the United States, even published a special report during this period, claiming that Spark would become the world's most profitable company as early as 2020.

The reason is Spark's global reach and strong IP development capabilities.

In Asia, Spark has two flagship products: FGO and Touhou Fantasy World.

In China, Xinghuo is an absolute powerhouse.

In Europe and America, thanks to the remakes of old games and the addition of shooting games, Spark's market share in Europe and America is bound to rise rapidly in the foreseeable future.

And even more amazing.

Is it Spark or a platform provider?

Referring to the development history of STeam, once a platform vendor becomes successful, the profits will be unbelievably high.

Chapter 321 Naive Business Warfare

After this article was published.

It has gained recognition from many players.

Many players who focus on single-player games dismiss this idea.

"So what? Do you know who the world's number one game company is right now? It's Tencent. So being number one in the world doesn't necessarily mean they can bring us good games."

of course.

Regardless of what players discuss.

Although not yet number one in the world, Lin Li, who is poised to become number one in the future, visited various manufacturers.

They still received great respect.

Microsoft went even further, staging a modern-day version of "welcoming someone with open arms."

Upon hearing of Lin Li's arrival, Spencer, who was taking a lunch break, went out to greet him without even fastening his tie.

This scene was also captured by the media.

It quickly became a popular story.

Lin Li's visit did indeed finalize many things.

For example, the copyright of Minecraft Remastered, and Microsoft's agreement to release the Age of Empires Remastered series on the Spark platform.

of course.

Microsoft got what it wanted.

For example, Star Trek, Destiny's Path, Gundam Battlegrounds, and Future Frontier will all be available on the Microsoft platform.

And additional benefits will be provided to XGP members.

At Sony, Lin Li made another big promise, confirming that a new title in the "Girls' Frontline" IP would be released as a launch title when the PS5 was announced.

Aside from Microsoft and Sony.

Lin Li has also been active at EA, Activision Blizzard, and even Bethesda.

I also went to check on the progress of Fall Guys.

Come down this time.

Aside from the time wasted on the plane, Lin Li still gained quite a lot.

A dinner in Los Angeles.

Finally, things have settled down.

As planned, tomorrow night, executives from Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and more than a dozen other major game companies will gather in Los Angeles to announce the activities for this year's summer game expo.

"It's really tough that there's no high-speed rail in America."

As soon as Lin Li got off the plane, he started complaining to Sally.

Sally had never been to China, but after arriving at Xinghuo, she learned a lot about China because the boss was Chinese.

"Because the United States has many restrictions, unlike China."

The two chatted casually.

Then they walked outside.

As Sally followed Lin Li, her mind wandered with all sorts of thoughts.

Recently.

She's really seen the world now.

Lin Li is quite different from many of the bosses she has met.

She has met many so-called "elite people".

They may look glamorous, but the longer you get to know them, the more you'll realize that their glamorousness is just on the surface.

Lin Li, on the other hand, is completely different.

This man possesses a captivating vitality.

These past few days, she's been associating with Lin Lijian's people, and it's fair to say that she's been associating with no ordinary people whatsoever.

Lin Li has a natural affinity for people.

When discussing matters, they can demonstrate exceptional professional competence.
