Game development begins with destroying Girls' Frontline.

Due to the time difference, the Spark event at 9 pm was exactly 3 pm local time. Because of this, the Spark Europe headquarters later contacted him for an interview.

I gave him some souvenirs.

This even made the news in China.

Perhaps it is these positive feedbacks that are the key.

Or perhaps, they're simply annoyed because they couldn't get a ticket.

In short.

This time at the carnival, this guy once again casually booked an entire movie theater.

Intending to "share the joy with the people"

We all watched Starlight Night together on the movie screen.

Faced with such a good thing.

Wang Tianyi naturally wouldn't let it go. Not only did he successfully get the ticket, but he also told the Brazilian guy the news and got him a ticket too.

Of course, the reason he asked the Brazilian guy at this time is because when he asked the female student earlier, she politely declined...

In short.

It does not matter.

The important thing is that the Brazilian guy was very excited and said that he absolutely had to go, and not only that, but he also had to give him a surprise.

Whether it was a surprise or not, Wang Tianyi didn't care.

After all, even the senior students aren't going anymore.

What's there to look forward to in a grown man's surprise?

Wang Tianyi had no expectations whatsoever.

Instead, I felt a little regretful.

Although they're chatting so enthusiastically online, upon closer inspection, this is, after all, a complete stranger—a foreigner.

but.

The invitation has already been sent and cannot be withdrawn.

"Impulsiveness really is the devil."

I sighed.

Wang Tianyi put down his phone, forced himself to stop scrolling through news about Xinghuo, and drifted off to sleep.

However, after closing my eyes.

But his mind kept replaying what would happen a week later.

When the Spark Carnival officially started, a bizarre scene unfolded: a muscular man tapped him on the shoulder and asked if he wanted to go to the restroom together.

~~~

"Spark defines a carnival as something lively, it's a carnival after all..."

"The reason we adopted the global joint event model is because we have noticed in recent years..."

"I don't think this is arrogance. As a company that serves global consumers, we need to go global not only in terms of our products but also in terms of our mindset."

"More than 40 overseas players purchased tickets in 24 hours, which really exceeded our expectations. We are very grateful for the support of overseas players."

"Yes, this will also help the Chinese gaming community integrate with the world and promote cultural exchange."

"Why can't Chinese companies hold events overseas? No matter where the players come from, as long as they are Xinghuo players, we have an obligation to provide them with the best service."

"Competition with penguins? In fact, I don't think it's competition. The fact that penguins choose to be on the same day as us doesn't affect us at all."

"Yes, we welcome Penguins to shine even brighter in the global market, but for now, it seems they are still focusing their efforts on the domestic market..."

Penguin Games.

CEO's office.

Ma Xiao looked at the eloquent face in the video.

I just felt a tightness in my chest.

Then look at the numerous media outlets conducting interviews, like Xinhua News Agency, and then look at the headlines.

How the Spark Carnival, a global festival for gamers, was created.

My chest felt even tighter.

"Damn it, all the publicity we did for over ten days wasn't as big as the buzz Xinghuo made in just one day."

Public opinion is a very interesting thing; it's intangible, but visible.

It's also a carnival.

After the launch of the Spark campaign, the scale far exceeded everyone's expectations, and even exceeded Tencent's expectations.

More importantly.

This time, Spark has taken another step forward in expanding its overseas markets.

The exhibition was held in four locations around the world.

They can sell tickets worth millions.

The sensation it caused was clearly greater than expected.

Sometimes, Ma Xiao felt baffled as to how Xinghuo had managed to achieve this.

And this is Xinghuo's action.

This also made Ma Xiao hesitate about her next move.

"Mr. Xiao, are we still going with our MMORPG strategy?"

Said it before.

Tencent plans to release two games, Black Desert and Ark of Destiny, before the carnival to generate buzz.

But now.

Spark's momentum seems a bit too strong.

Ma Xiao wasn't sure if, according to the original plan, these two games could suppress Xinghuo's popularity.

In this regard.

Li Weixi's attitude, however, was very firm.

We can't be indecisive.

He has already received "sponsorship" from these two game companies.

If Ma Xiao didn't organize this activity at this time, he wouldn't be able to explain himself.

therefore.

I noticed that Ma Xiao showed a slight hesitation.

Li Weixi then stood up on his own initiative.

"President Xiao, we absolutely have to fight this. It's precisely because Xinghuo has made things so big that we have to follow up."

"And don't be fooled by how quickly his million-dollar tickets sell out."

"But in the country, our advantages are still very obvious."

"I suggest that we start the publicity campaign in advance and increase the publicity efforts, so as to suppress the momentum of Spark before it gets too strong."

Although Li Weixi was passionate and eloquent.

However, Ma Xiao still hesitated.

It happened mainly about six months ago.

The crazy fun festival at the end of last year made him a little worried that Spark might be hiding some big trick to harm him.

"Mr. Xiao, you should make a decisive decision."

finally.

Ma Xiao agreed to Li Weixi's plan.

Ever since.

From May 4th.

Two explosive pieces of news have been released in quick succession.

After more than three years of waiting, the Chinese version of Black Desert is finally here!

Moreover, it's a test for everyone without requiring an activation code.

In addition, the currently popular game "Ark of Destiny" will also be launched into a nationwide test at the same time!

Followed by.

It was a series of promotional waves.

In addition to the usual promotional activities by Tencent, this time...

Penguin also tried some of Spark's promotional models, which involved finding "foreigners" to endorse the product.

The producers of Black Desert and Ark of Destiny have both been interviewed.

Moreover, the interview intensity was actually quite high.

Kim Dae-il, the producer of Black Desert, went directly to China and gave interviews to multiple media outlets.

Kim Dae-il is a veteran developer in South Korea.

His background is actually quite impressive. Before creating Black Sand, Kim Dae-il was the development director of the action MMORPG "Continent of the Ninth".

At the time, most online games were still stationary and required players to cast spells, but Continent of the Ninth had already achieved non-targeting action combat. After creating Continent of the Ninth, Kim Dae-il and some members of the Continent of the Ninth project team founded Pearl Abyss and used their self-developed engine to create Black Desert.

Chapter 269 Public Opinion

to be frank.

Kim Dae-il is quite skilled; the graphics of his self-developed engine are world-class.

This is also the fundamental reason for the success of Black Desert.

However, by 19, Kim Dae-il had gradually withdrawn from the front lines, although he still held the title of producer of "Black Desert".

But in reality, they don't play games much anymore.

As for the reason?

It's very simple, because he has already succeeded.

Black Desert achieved great success in the South Korean market in 14, and within four years of its launch, it has generated over $10 billion in revenue globally.

Moreover, his role as the boss has gradually made Kim Dae-il lose interest in many things; he now prefers investing to developing games.

This can be seen from the fact that Pearl Abyss, despite having a considerable income, has consistently produced relatively few games.

Kim Dae-il did not serve as producer for the sequel to the previous work, "Red Desert".

and so.

At this time, Kim Dae-il was able to be invited by Tencent to help him gain recognition.

In the South Korean gaming industry, he can be considered a godfather-level figure.

In Kim Dae-il's view.

His personal appearance in the interview showed considerable respect for the penguin.

However, many Chinese media outlets apparently failed to realize this.

This is actually quite normal.

After all, in recent years, following the ban on Korean entertainment, the influence of Korean culture in China has indeed declined significantly.

Korean games go without saying.
