Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

NetEase has a huge existing user base, while miHoYo does not.

However, when Huang Wei came to him, Dawei did not refuse outright, but instead agreed to discuss it in detail.

The intentions behind this are quite complex.

It's precisely because David himself hasn't figured it out yet.

So he was also confused by Huang Wei's immediate question about the results.

I was just thinking about how to postpone this matter.

A voice suddenly came from behind the two of them.

"What? Are you plotting a rebellion?"

This voice is somewhat familiar.

"Mr. Lin!"

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

Both of them were startled by Lin Li's sudden appearance.

There was a guilty conscience in his heart.

In addition, Lin Li's words had a hidden meaning, so even if he wasn't unusually calm, he was at least scared out of his wits.

Lin Li looked at the two of them, who seemed to have something to hide, and found it somewhat amusing.

Regarding NetEase's plan to create its own platform.

Lin Li was aware of this.

However, as analyzed before, Xinghuo can't and doesn't need to manage it, as long as NetEase doesn't side with Tencent and as long as NetEase fulfills the cooperation agreement it signed with Xinghuo.

He can do whatever he wants.

The same applies to miHoYo.

"Why are you standing here? Are you hungry? I'm a little hungry too."

Lin Li smiled and took three small cakes from the table, giving one to each person. Then, as if nothing had happened, he said something.

"The prerequisite for dividing this cake is that someone has to make the cake."

After saying goodbye, Lin Li turned and left.

Huang Wei and Dawei were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment.

get lost.

It's a very common thing.

Normally, this is not a big problem for adults.

But I got lost in a foreign country.

But then it's a completely different scene.

"W-What do we do? Where is this?"

Sakura Ayane stood in a long corridor, looking at the garden outside, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

Just at this time.

Her phone rang, and she answered it.

"Yes, I haven't found it yet, but someone just gave me directions."

"Hey, this should be the corridor, it shouldn't be too far from the lounge."

"Okay, okay."

"I will do it as soon as possible..."

The person on the other end of the phone was the president of I'm Company.

After instructing the president of I'm to find the dressing room of the bustling stage before the meeting ended, he quickly hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Ayane Sakura looked up.

I found myself in another place.

"...Where is this place?"

Done!

How did I get lost again!

The buildings in China are just too big.

"I remember coming from here, right?"

~~~

the other side.

After hanging up the phone, Ezaki Kako, the president of IM, rubbed her forehead, already starting to worry about whether the task she had assigned would go wrong.

"There's still one person who hasn't spoken, which means there are still 20 minutes left. We should be able to manage, right? Good luck, Ayane!"

After muttering a few words to himself, Ezaki returned to the summit venue.

The people on stage are still sharing something.

But Ezaki couldn't understand it. Regardless of whether he could understand it or not, the other voice actor agency owners sitting in the back row also couldn't understand it, but it didn't matter.

In any case, Jiang Qi's gaze remained fixed on the doorway. He didn't care what was being said on stage; he only cared about when President Lin would leave the venue.

Because Ezaki was so focused, he didn't notice that he wasn't the only one watching the entrance.

The owners of several other voice acting agencies are also watching.

~~~

In principle, neither Ezaki Kako nor anyone else should have attended this year's Spark Developer Conference.

After all, voice acting is indeed a part of game development.

But to say it has nothing to do with voice actors doesn't seem to be very relevant either.

However, just a few weeks ago...

Following the announcement of today's events by Spark.

Almost all voice acting companies in Japan approached Xinghuo, expressing their desire to join in the project.

Lin Li was somewhat puzzled as to why they were so proactive.

But I didn't think much of it.

Making as many friends as possible has always been Xinghuo's operating strategy in Japan, so they naturally agreed.

However, Han Xiangqiao, who was in charge of organizing the event, complained a couple of times, saying that the budget had been exceeded again.

Then.

Why did the owners of these voice acting companies travel across oceans to spend New Year's Eve with Xinghuo instead of their families?

The answer is simple, just two words.

interest.

Chapter 133 The Impact of Sparks on the Ecosystem

As 2018 drew to a close.

Over the past three years, Spark's influence has grown significantly.

Especially in Japan.

With the successive release of several popular games, Spark has become Japan's largest anime and manga game developer.

at the same time.

Because of the rise of Spark, Japan's anime and manga industry has been affected to some extent without anyone noticing.

For example, voice actors.

Both Spark's own games and games on the Spark platform require voice actors.

Moreover, as the number of games on the Spark platform increases, this demand is still rising.

Increased demand means increased income.

Furthermore, Spark's impact on the Japanese voice acting industry goes beyond just increasing job opportunities.

Since the Spark platform was built.

More and more programs are starting to be approved for production.

The biggest difference between Xinghuo and other major companies is its emphasis on derivative culture.

Spark covers everything from peripheral products and offline events to online programs and news—anything that can enhance user engagement.

This operational approach, coupled with Lin Li's willingness to spend money, is commendable.

This led to a wonderful result.

That is to say, Xinghuo Platform has objectively become the largest production company of anime and game-oriented programs in Japan.

At this point, let's look at the entire Japanese voice acting industry.

From a broader perspective, while the Spark platform's original intention in producing programs was to promote games, it also objectively and significantly boosted the idolization of the voice actor industry.

For an industry to develop, the most important thing is stable resources.

The programs on the Spark platform are resources.

Moreover, because Spark is willing to spend money, not only are the quality of the programs very good, but there are also many of them.

The most outrageous thing is that these programs can reach the whole world and have a fixed audience.

The publicity and commercial effects it generates are exactly what the Japanese voice actor industry needs.

Take Japan's Spark as an example.

There are currently as many as 11 programs airing.

These programs are divided into two categories: one is IP derivative programs such as Battlefront Girls, FGO, Arknights, Unending Lost, Touhou Fantasy World, Gundam Battlefield, etc.

These programs vary in format, but the guests are relatively consistent.

Both episodes feature two voice actors as hosts, plus invited guests each episode.

In terms of specific content, Girls Frontline and Arknights are talk shows that lean towards dialogue.

FGO, on the other hand, is more like a travel program, inviting many voice actors to travel to the locations of "Holy Relics" around the world.

"Lost in Time" is similar to a voice actor-driven murder mystery game.

Each episode will place the guests in a "prison" where they need to interact with NPCs to ultimately solve the mystery.

At its current stage, Touhou Fantasy World is more like an educational program, introducing a character from the Touhou Project in each episode.

The Gundam program is amazing; it's a battle program.

Each episode invites several guests to battle using a Gundam Battlefield demo under different rules. The losers have to accept a series of punishments.

For example, holding a microphone and reciting Amuro's famous lines for three minutes.

In addition to these programs, there are also new game trial programs such as "King of Black Boxes" and "Spark GAME Academy", as well as purely entertainment programs such as "The Miracle Moment of Cosplay".

said with no exaggeration.

At this time, Xinghuo held the same status in the Japanese voice acting industry as Nippon Television did in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Moreover, Xinghuo, this "TV station," not only has a stable audience but also only produces content in this area.

Almost all the guests were voice actors, with a few gaming streamers and the like.

In this situation.

The connections between Japan's largest voice actor agencies and Xinghuo are becoming increasingly close.
