Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

However, they soon heard from Qiongzhou Airlines that they had added several direct flights to Japan and Southeast Asia, but they were still almost sold out in seconds.

Even direct flights to major European and American cities are sold out.

We need to add more flights, but we don't have enough planes, so we can only transfer the orders out.

Inquire with the Qiongzhou government whether the Qiongzhou government and Xinghuo provide subsidies for these transferred orders.

This time.

The Qiongzhou Tourism Bureau immediately took action, without needing any prompting from Xinghuo, and their initiative was immediately apparent. They not only helped coordinate with the airlines.

In the past two days, many more human-shaped navigation signs provided by Xinghuo have been added to the airport, in various languages.

Service notices were also issued to tourism agencies in Qiongzhou.

But when the flow of people really starts to surge in.

The people from the Qiongzhou Tourism Bureau were still quite surprised.

During an interview with reporters, the director of the tourism bureau made a special emphasis on this.

"We must seize this opportunity and deepen our cooperation with Xinghuo. If Chongqing can succeed, so can Qiongzhou."

After that, the idea that Spark could boost tourism started to become increasingly outlandish.

~~~

That afternoon.

The sky was darkening, but not yet completely dark.

The sunset, combined with the clouds blown by the sea breeze, made the sky over the entire city look especially beautiful.

The Qiongzhou Stadium, nestled amidst such scenery, also possesses a unique charm.

A street in front of the stadium.

"Hi everyone!! Good evening!! I'm Guo Qingqing."

"I am Guo Jiayi!"

Guess where we are now!?

"Although there aren't many people here now."

"No."

"However, it gets lively a little further ahead."

"why?"

"Because this is the site of the Spark Global Carnival!!"

"To be precise, it was the scene on the eve of the Spark Program!!"

"Wow."

"Look, look, we're wearing '97 and '95 cosplay outfits today."

"cute?"

Guo Qingqing held up a selfie stick and greeted the viewers in the live stream.

There were a lot of comments during the live stream.

Very dense.

This is because their live streaming channel was being streamed by the official Spark live stream.

Just like the previous Spark New Year's Festival, this year's Spark Global Carnival will also be streamed live online.

The global translation system is also connected simultaneously.

However, this time, in addition to the official live streaming channel, more than a dozen well-known bloggers from home and abroad have also added their channels, some of whom are watching the live streams online with everyone.

There are also those who, like Guo Qingqing, broadcast live from the scene.

Among the bloggers, Guo Qingqing already had a certain level of popularity, and her cosplay today was very accurate.

It's not surprising that it garnered a large audience.

Many overseas players have even chosen Guo Qingqing's channel.

"Sasa! Let's take a look around the outer area first,"

As Guo Qingqing walked out of the street, she arrived in front of the stadium.

In just a few steps, the population density increases exponentially.

Even though it's 6 p.m. now, an hour and a half before the event officially starts at 7:30 p.m., the area outside the exhibition hall is already packed with people.

This year's Spark Global Carnival will last for three days and one night.

This "night" refers to the eve of the "Spark" event held tonight at Qiongzhou Stadium.

According to official sources.

On the eve of the Spark Carnival, Spark will announce the development progress of all its games.

In addition to these, the official poster also features four logo silhouettes with question marks, indicating that at least four new games will be unveiled.

The three days refer to the three days following tonight's performance, from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. each day, at the Qiongzhou International Convention and Exhibition Center.

The exhibition mainly focuses on new product demonstrations, on-site planning discussions, and on-site activities.

During the three-day exhibition, Spark Games prepared as many as 5000 PC devices and a total of 6 large-scale demo areas.

The installation included demos for games such as Eastern Fantasy World, The Wandering Earth, Arknights, The Endless Path, Destiny's Path, and two mysterious new games.

In terms of format, it is quite similar to the Cologne trade fair.

However, it is even larger in scale than the Cologne fair.

For example, 3 tickets were released for tonight's Spark Eve event.

The exhibition lasted for three days, with 12 tickets available each day, for a total of 36 tickets.

Players are already very familiar with this information.

The information released by the official channels alone is enough to excite many players.

Lin Li is an expert at writing development logs.

Under his direction, Spark spent a week updating seven posts in preparation for the global carnival.

From venue setup to content preparation, from the inside story of securing half-price airfares to the many surprises Spark prepared, from the invited guests to the event planning for the day.

It can be said that every preparation log is a vivid and exhilarating pie-in-the-sky promise.

But all the Spark players eat it.

Because Spark has already proven itself over time.

Although you have to wait for Xinghuo's pancakes, they taste really good when you eat them.

The traffic generated by these seven preparation logs alone worldwide far surpasses that of Tencent's forced advertising.

The seven blog posts led to a long chain of secondary creation information.

From Bilibili to YouTube and NCNC, these mainstream global websites have seen videos analyzing these posts, and the higher-quality ones have garnered over a million views.

The eve of the Spark event has been generating widespread discussion globally since several days ago.

Among them, the most speculated question by European and American players is whether there will be a new game for Galaxy Park: Discovery.

This topic has been discussed excessively on Twitter.

It even attracted betting companies to open betting odds on whether Spark would announce the official sequel to Galaxy Park: Discovery during the carnival.

Japanese players, on the other hand, generally focus on the progress and fate of the Eastern fantasy world.

As mentioned in the official preparation log before the carnival, a demo of Destiny's Trails could be played at the carnival.

This news caused a huge reaction in Japan.

Many well-known Japanese bloggers, and even many gamers, originally did not plan to go to the event.

Just because I could play the Destiny Trails demo, I bought a ticket without hesitation.

Conservative estimates suggest that at least one-third of Japanese players bought tickets specifically to be among the first to play the Destiny Trails demo.

As for most domestic players and media, what they are most looking forward to is whether there will be any new developments in Battlefront Girls, and when they will finally be able to enjoy the open-world project, Galaxy Paradise.

Judging from the expectations of players worldwide, it's not hard to see that he's a master of empty promises.

Lin Li's ability to make empty promises is truly remarkable.

That's why players around the world are so excited.

Therefore, media outlets both at home and abroad are filled with anticipation for tonight's eve of the Spark event.

Many media outlets, including IGN, sent reporters to the scene.

What Lin Li said tonight will appear on global gaming media immediately, even without going through Xinghuo itself.

This is actually the biggest difference between Xinghuo's development to this point and other domestic manufacturers.

Chapter 358 Media and Markets

As the host country, Xinghuo naturally understands the importance of the media.

Today, Xinghuo has also invited many media outlets.

Xinhua News Agency and CCTV News both responded to Spark's invitation.

They all sent reporters.

to be frank.

When CCTV News appeared outside the venue as usual to interview the audience.

The players waiting outside were completely shocked.

Some of the interviewed players were extremely excited.

Even Guo Qingqing held up a selfie stick and looked towards CCTV, but a crowd had already gathered there.

Guo Qingqing was able to squeeze in to see.

However, in the blink of an eye, the comments section went wild.

"Holy crap! CCTV!!"

"Huh? What is Xinghuo going to announce tonight? Why is CCTV even here?"

"Hurry up, streamer! Go and get some screen time!"

"Hurry, hurry, rush over there!"

Faced with the sudden excitement of domestic players, most overseas viewers watching the live stream looked completely bewildered.

In the live chat, a large number of foreign players were asking, "What happened? What happened?"

Domestic players then responded.

I briefly described CCTV's status, although this comparison is somewhat inappropriate. It's roughly equivalent to being on the Asahi Shimbun in Japan or on Jon Stewart's show in the United States.

By this analogy, foreign players may still be somewhat unclear, but they seem to have gained a vague understanding.

Everyone was discussing it enthusiastically.

When comparing CCTV, a television station, to foreign stations, how should we make an appropriate comparison?

Japanese gamers actually saw the Asahi Shimbun conducting an interview in the plaza.

Good guy! !

That's seriously amazing!!

"Ah! On the left, isn't that the Asahi logo?"

"Eh~~~~! Really!"

"WWWWAsahi!"

Not only were Japanese players surprised, but Chinese players were also surprised.
