Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

"And all of this is based on your existing success, but what if the market response is not as expected?"

Lin Li posed the question: "So what are you going to do? Change direction and follow the path that everyone else has already taken? Or insist on walking your own narrow path?"

After asking himself a question, Lin Li did not provide an answer.

Instead, he gave a faint smile: "Of course, whether you choose to walk the narrow bridge or follow someone else's path, it's your own choice."

"Just don't regret it when you're halfway there, and don't envy the person who walked the narrow bridge and saw a different view, while ignoring the risks they took."

After speaking, Lin Li nodded to the camera, maintaining direct eye contact and a sincere expression.

A while passed like this.

His face was a little stiff, but Wang Bingbing, sitting opposite him, didn't move at all, just staring at him with her big, innocent eyes.

After a while, he couldn't help but cough: "Um? I'm done talking? Can we end this now?"

Wang Bingbing then seemed to wake up from a dream: "Ah, okay, it's over, it's over."

Lin Li laughed and said, "My expression is almost frozen. Are you daydreaming?"

"Excuse me, your speech was excellent."

Wang Bingbing was stunned because she genuinely found Lin Li's words very interesting, and then realized that the effect might have been better if the formal interview had been conducted without a script.

However, the formal interview has already been recorded, so it's impossible to do it again.

"Mr. Lin, did you prepare the speech in advance?"

"No, I didn't even know CCTV had this concept of 'free interviews'... I thought everything was like this booklet, requiring prior approval."

Lin Li waved the table card in his hand.

Wang Bingbing smiled and then said, "If it was improvised, then the level of her speech would be remarkable."

"It's just what I really think," Lin Li said with a smile.

Wang Bingbing thought about Lin Li's performance just now; he spoke fluently and confidently.

"That's really good."

Three exclamations of praise, each more concise than the last.

Lin Li stood up: "Stop praising me. If you keep praising me, I'll want to participate in the host competition."

Wang Bingbing was inexplicably amused by this remark and chuckled.

After a long pause, he shook hands with Lin Li and ended the interview.

Back at the CCTV office.

Wang Bingbing watched the interview footage repeatedly and felt that the whole interview process was quite good, and the last part was also very interesting.

After much deliberation, Wang Bingbing went directly to her superiors and suggested that this interview segment be extracted and made into a separate news item following the main report.

This idea was quickly presented to the leader.

To outsiders, this seems like a very serious matter.

However, leaders are extremely busy, and CCTV.com is not CCTV Radio after all.

It's not actually that strict.

After glancing at the interview materials, I thought the young man's appearance and demeanor were alright, and his speech was also acceptable.

In addition, Wang Bingbing persisted.

So, with a stroke of his pen, he agreed to add an extra news item in addition to the main report, discussing how game developers should stay true to their original aspirations.

After Wang Bingbing finished doing this, she called Lin Li.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lin?"

"Hey, Bingbing, what's wrong?"

Lin Li's voice came through the phone.

The interview between the two in the afternoon went fairly well, and they naturally exchanged phone numbers.

Moreover, Lin Li was shameless; thinking that Wang Bingbing was going to become famous in the future, it wouldn't hurt to establish a connection in advance.

So after getting the number, they even managed to establish a connection, so calling her "Sister Bingbing" felt very natural.

Of course, considering that Wang Bingbing was born in 90, she is indeed older than him, so there is no problem with her calling him that.

Hearing the voice on the phone, Wang Bingbing smiled slightly: "It's nothing, I'm just calling to give you good news. Because of what you said this afternoon, the boss separated your interview and sent you a separate text message."

Even if it's just a brief news item, it can be published separately on CCTV's website.

That's completely different from having a name in the main news article.

After all, if it's sent separately, even as a text message, the heading can include "Spark Games" or Lin Li's own name.

As for the main news stories, although the interviews within them will also take up a considerable amount of space.

But his name won't be in the title.

Thus, when two news items appear.

One is.

How can game entrepreneurs stay true to their original aspirations? Spark Games offers its perspective.

The other one is

Who looks more awesome?

Besides, most people who enjoy entertainment don't read what the news says; they only read the headlines.

Therefore, when he heard Wang Bingbing say that she had managed to get him a text message...

Lin Li was genuinely excited.

"Oh? Thank you so much, Sister Bingbing."

Wang Bingbing nodded and said, "If nothing unexpected happens, today's interview will be released tomorrow. Please keep an eye out for it then."

"Sure, Sister Bingbing, when do you have time? I'll treat you to a meal," Lin Li said, expressing his gratitude.

"No need for that, but if there's ever a chance for an exclusive interview in the future, you'll have to give me permission to do it."

"Nature, nature"

Lin Li thought to himself, "What must I have done in my life to deserve an exclusive interview with CCTV?"

Um..

It seems that miHoYo did make contributions to the export of Genshin Impact culture in its previous life, and did give an exclusive interview.

In other words.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem entirely impossible.

Although many people regard traditional Chinese culture as a means to make money.

But if done well, it could indeed be a hot topic in the future.

~~~

A phone call came down.

Both were satisfied.

Lin Li goes without saying.

Wang Bingbing also added a "1" to her network of contacts.

Only Su Shanshan, who was sitting next to Lin Li, was somewhat unhappy.

"What did your sister Bingbing say to you? How come I never noticed how shameless you were before? Sister Bingbing, how could you even call her that?"

"What's wrong with calling out? She's beautiful, and I'm not at a disadvantage."

Lin Li put down the phone, seemingly unconcerned.

"And they just gave me a news brief from CCTV.com. Now we're really famous... Hey, since we're on the news, can we put that CCTV logo on the wall? That would be so cool."

Su Shanshan didn't hear the rest of the conversation at all; her face fell when she heard the comment that the other person was pretty.

"Just because someone is pretty doesn't mean they can call you 'older sister'?"

"Yes, you can call someone pretty. Older women can call you 'sister,' and younger women can call you 'little sister.'"

Lin Li glanced at Su Shanshan. He wasn't stupid; he knew Su Shanshan was jealous. He pretended to say the first half of the sentence.

Then he pretended to turn his head and look at Su Shanshan.

"So, do you want me to call you Sister Shanshan, or Sister Shanshan?"

After returning from the business trip to Chongqing, the relationship between the two had already progressed rapidly. They occasionally had small interactions at the company, which Su Shanshan had gotten used to.

Lin Li's sudden words still made her feel her face burning.

"Keep your voice down, the people next to us can hear you!"

"Alright, from now on I'll call you Sister Shanshan, is that alright?"

Lin Li didn't lower his voice; instead, he raised it.

Seeing everyone in the office turn their gazes towards him, then abruptly return to their workstations, all with expressions of as if they had bumped into something.

Su Shanshan was both ashamed and angry.

Damn it, absolutely awful, this guy...

~~~

Wang Bingbing kept her promise.

The next day on CCTV's website.

Sure enough, an article appeared, titled...

[2016 China Games Overseas Expansion Report]

Article.

There wasn't much content in the news.

The opening is

"Faced with a slowing market growth, in recent years, game companies have been both exploring the domestic market and seeking new profit breakthroughs—going global."

According to the "2016 China Game Industry Report" published by the Game Publishing Committee, in the first half of 2016, the actual sales of Huaxia's self-developed online games in overseas markets...

Looking at the press release filled with official jargon.

Lin Li nodded in satisfaction.

"That's the smell."

Then, a few minutes later, another message appeared in the news section: "[How game entrepreneurs can maintain their original aspirations: Xinghuo Games has this to say]".

Lin Li quickly took a screenshot and saved it.

And at the same time.

Liu Cixing, who was visiting the FAST telescope, the largest in China, returned to his hotel after his visit to the FAST project site.

Holding my laptop, I'm sorting through what I've seen and heard today.

When I had almost finished writing.

He then spoke to his assistant with considerable emotion.

"That place is magnificent, but it's really unbearable not being able to use a mobile phone or access the internet. If I worked there, I could probably write a book in a year."

The assistant replied with a smile, "That's great! If the fans knew about this, they'd definitely send you to jail."

"Let's forget about that. I'll go crazy if I do that, and I won't be able to write anymore. Hey, did you find the source of that space elevator video I asked you to find yesterday? Which movie is it from?"
