Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Chapter 201 What is a Star Producer?

However, Lin Li did think about creating a persona.

Unexpectedly, the logo on the clothes was too eye-catching.

As soon as he got off the car, he was quickly recognized by the girls on the front lines.

It was peak time, so a group of players who were still in line immediately stopped queuing and rushed over.

"President Lin!!"

"Mr. Lin!! Please sign your autograph for me!"

"Boss Lin, when will the next version of Battlefront Girls be released!?"

"When will Destiny's Trails finally be released?! I've been waiting for it since last year~~~"

"Old Monster Lin!!!! I want to have your babies!!"

When will "Girls' Frontline" be adapted into an anime?

Will our competitors continue to update? Does Spark Games have any plans to develop a strategy game?

The "Boss Lin" that players refer to is actually a nickname given to Lin Li by the Battlefront Girls, which isn't really a nickname.

The nickname originated in the early stages of the marketing campaign for the "Frontline Girls".

In order to quickly acquire a large number of users, Lin Li offered a wide range of benefits.

In addition, there was the initial official operation period.

They frequently publish news headlines like "User registrations surpass 10 million!! Boss Lin is giving away extra perks!!"

Under such news.

Often, a row will appear.

"Mr. Lin is so generous!!"

Based on the title "Boss Lin," some players also call Lin Li "Old Monster Lin" or "Big Boss Lin."

In general.

Most of these titles are actually just like the way people refer to miHoYo's "Big Brother Wei," a nickname used by players.

However, Spark Games currently has a pretty good reputation.

So overall, this nickname has more positive connotations.

Lin Li himself sometimes appears under this name.

After all, using a nickname can shorten the distance between players, so why not do it?

However, although Lin Li estimated that he had a good reputation among the players, he was still somewhat surprised to see a group of players rushing to join without even queuing up.

Despite the large influx of players, Lin Li did not act like a diva like those celebrities.

Instead, they slowed down and began to address some of the questions.

"Version 1.6? It'll be here soon."

"A new promotional video for Destiny's Trajectory will be released today."

"What the hell is this about me having babies?"

"The animation adaptation is still under discussion; we haven't decided whether to choose a domestic or international company yet..."

As Lin Li walked, he accepted various odds and ends handed to him by the players and began signing them.

He remained so calm.

The main reason is that I know Xinghuo Games has a very good reputation among players.

If it were Yu Zhong instead.

I guess when he saw the players rushing towards him, his first instinct was to run away.

~~~

Lin Li lingered outside for about ten minutes before security personnel finally came and ended this inexplicable celebrity producer meet-and-greet.

Following behind him were Hai Mao, Chen Anyu, Lin Shuyin from Manjiu Network, Yuwan, and others.

After witnessing Lin Li's popularity firsthand, they were all deeply moved.

"President Lin is really popular..."

"I saw quite a few producers just passed by, including some from Ubisoft, but none of them were recognized by the players. Compared to President Lin, they're both producers, but the difference is huge..."

"Heh, laughing at others? When we get there, do you think any players will recognize us?"

"..."

"I believe that one day, we will also become star producers like President Lin."

Chen Anyu turned to look at Hai Mao, intending to say something encouraging.

But the words that came out of my mouth turned out to be...

"You? I'd be lucky if you didn't get chased and beaten up by the players."

"Hahaha!"

"Hey!! You're something else, Chen Anyu."

Chen Anyu and Hai Mao entered the arena playfully bickering, and just as they expected, no player recognized them...

However, neither of them was discouraged.

On the contrary, I'm even more looking forward to tonight's press conference.

~~~

The entire [2017 High Energy Game Fever Festival] program was divided into two parts.

The first half is a summary of the clips shown.

Works that are exhibited but not very popular will be grouped together for broadcast.

It took about 40 minutes.

The second part involves each manufacturer taking turns to participate.

In this section, the host will invite the producer from each manufacturer to come on stage and speak.

As for why guest speakers are included, it's actually quite simple: to pad out the speaking time.

Despite the large number of participating manufacturers, many games only have one or two minutes of trailers, and even with the actual gameplay, it's only six or seven minutes long. Some games are even just a single image.

If it's just showing clips, they should be bundled together, otherwise it will be over in no time.

But what Bilibili wants to do is something more formal.

It has a bit of a game ceremony feel to it.

Therefore, after the first half of the screenings, the second half featured major companies like miHoYo, Spark, NetEase, Sony, and Ubisoft releasing individual products.

The host will invite the producer or production team and give them two or three minutes for an awkward chat.

In addition, there is another reason for adding this time.

Bilibili added a real-time online reservation popularity score to this press conference.

simply put.

Next to each live stream, a reservation button will pop up.

Players can complete the reservation with a single click.

At the same time, Bilibili also knows how to attract players' attention to the greatest extent, so it also created a pre-registration ranking.

Players can check at any time which of the many games currently showing trailers has the most pre-registrations.

In addition to the number of reservations.

Bilibili also added a "Holy crap" button to the live stream.

When players see this and want to shout "Holy crap!", they can simply press this button.

When Lin Li finished reading the proposal, he exclaimed, "Wow!"

It’s time to say it or not.

Although Chen Rui must have considered having more data to support his design when issuing the press release the next day.

For example, what?

"XX Game Released, Pre-registrations Exceed One Million in One Hour"

"High-Energy Games Festival, Truly High-Energy! Over 10 Million Pre-Registrations"

"With nearly 100 million 'Holy Cries' from the entire audience, what surprised players so much?"

However, even setting aside these ulterior motives, this system is still quite interesting.

Besides.

Players at the event can also access the event interface via their mobile phones, and can also make reservations and shout "Holy crap!" while watching.

To some extent.

The user experience is actually better.

After all, we were there.

But once anything involves numbers or rankings, people will naturally get their hands on it.

Some people have ulterior motives, like penguins.

Fortunately, this event was operated by Bilibili, and Bilibili had also considered the possibility of vote rigging, so this system was only announced at the beginning of today.

At the same time, there are also some basic technical means to ensure the authenticity of the data.

Holy crap, you can swipe to make a reservation, but you can't.

Some had ulterior motives, while others simply wanted to compete on game quality.

For example, Dawei from miHoYo is eager to see whether Genshin Impact or Spark Games will get more pre-registrations during this event.

Chapter 202 Poaching from the Founder Right in Front of Him?

Lin Li's first impression upon entering the venue was that it was spacious and bright.

And it has a very distinctive Bilibili style.

The hall was converted from the largest main hall of the convention center, with a huge stage in the center and guest and audience seating in front of the stage.

It can accommodate 3500 people.

On the walls of the lobby, Bilibili has created many huge character posters.

There are all kinds of games.

It's not just anime-style mobile games, but also classic scenes etched in the minds of a generation, such as Mario and Contra.

Even if it's a forest.

Sitting in the convention center, I couldn't help but reminisce.

Although Lin Li often criticizes Bilibili, sometimes this little site does understand its users.

In addition, the stage backdrop design is also ingenious. Besides the large screen on the main stage, there are also bullet screen pools on the left and right sides of the stage.

This chat pool is part of a collaborative online live stream, but to avoid awkwardness, the chat filtering level is set to a very high level.

Besides the decorations, there were also a large number of 22-chan and 33-chan cosplayers on site.

Besides cosplaying, they were also part of the on-site staff.

It’s time to say it or not.

Black stockings are indeed a good thing.

"Does it look good?"
