Chapter 489 Forget it all...
"Yeah!"
At the same time.
Just when the players were discussing the game "Di Renjie".
Fujian Province.
Lin Yao's hometown.
Lin Yao sat on the bed and glanced at the first batch of players who had completed the game. Then she looked up and made a scissors gesture to her sister with a bright smile.
"What happened? You look so happy."
Lin Xi was packing the clothes of the two sisters. Seeing her sister so happy, she smiled gently, put down the folded clothes in her hands, and asked.
"Di Renjie" was a success."
Lin Yao threw down her phone, then leaned back, lying on the bed in a big letter shape, and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Oh~"
Lin Xi paused, then nodded gently, put the last piece of clothing away, picked up the pile of clothes, and put them properly in the closet.
"...Show a little happier, otherwise I'll look stupid."
Lin Yao turned her head and looked at her sister who was so calm that she was even a little dull, and felt a little amused.
"But sister doesn't understand."
Lin Xi closed the closet door, then came to sit next to Lin Yao, and said gently: "Besides, sister is actually very happy."
"You don't look happy at all."
Lin Yao lay on the soft bed, gently tugged at the hem of Lin Xi's clothes, and teased.
"Don't you look like that? Then in front of you, do you still want sister to smile every day?"
Lin Xi turned her head and looked at her sister lying on the bed. She couldn't help but stretched out her hand and gently pinched her cheek, then turned back and helped her take off her shoes while gently saying: "Also, if you want to sleep, get into the quilt. Don't lie down like this and fall asleep. You will catch a cold. Tomorrow is the New Year."
"It's not about smiling, but about showing, show, understand?"
Lin Yao said lazily.
Probably because it was a holiday, although she was happy about the success of the game, she soon put it aside and turned around to lazily discuss with her sister how to show happiness.
In fact, she didn't care much about it. She
was just making small talk.
"Performance... Is this performance enough?"
Lin Xi turned back and rolled her eyes at her sister, then thought about it, and suddenly lay back, stretched out her hands to hug Lin Yao's soft and warm body, and rubbed her soft face with her cheek.
"... Well, this is too passionate again."
Lin Yao's soft face was changed by Lin Xi's touch, and her words became unclear: "It feels a bit scary, and it's so stuffy..."
"Then what do you want your sister to do?"
Lin Xi was a little amused and let go of her sister a little.
"I don't know, but it always feels wrong."
Lin Yao said lazily, while hugging Lin Xi in turn, rolling on the bed, and then lying on Lin Xi's soft body, burying her head in her snow-white neck, sighing.
"... Isn't this even more stuffy?"
Lin Xi hugged Lin Yao's slender waist and complained softly.
But she didn't struggle.
After all, other people can't ask for such a situation...
In fact, she also knows what's going on with her sister now.
Maybe it was because she hadn't had a holiday for a long time, and it was a rare holiday. She was not used to it and couldn't cheer up...
Then she could only make small talk.
She could understand her sister's feelings.
But she had to sigh that her sister... grew up so fast, far beyond herself. It
was really a bit suffocating to be suppressed...
Of course.
She didn't dare to say this in front of Lin Yao, because she would get angry.
Thinking of this.
Lin Xi couldn't help but smile softly.
"Yes! That's the feeling, this happy feeling."
Lin Yao heard Lin Xi's laughter and raised her head suddenly: "This is normal, what do you think of?"
"... I think of the success of the game of Linmu Studio, and I'm happy."
Lin Xi put away the smile on his face and said seriously.
"Really? Then why are you staring at the collar of my clothes?" Lin Yao showed a suspicious expression and didn't believe it.
Lin Xi moved his eyes away from the dazzling whiteness of the girl's collar, and then couldn't help but smile softly again.
"Lin Xi!"
Lin Yao understood instantly, and got angry as expected, and started to make trouble with Lin Xi directly.
The two of them were fighting on the bed.
Until.
Bang.
There was a muffled sound outside the window.
Lin Yao stopped and turned to look out the window. Brilliant fireworks bloomed in the night sky, and then disappeared in a flash.
Lin Xi also stopped and looked out the window.
The two sisters hugged each other on the bed, watching the fireworks bloom outside the window, and then after a moment of silence, they laughed together.
"Happy New Year."
Lin Yao leaned forward and gently touched Lin Xi's forehead with her forehead.
"Well... Happy New Year." Lin Xi felt the warmth from her sister's forehead, closed her eyes, and smiled faintly.
Half an hour later.
"It's time to eat, my daughter..."
The old lady, the grandmother of the two sisters, shouted while pushing open the door.
But as soon as she opened the door, she stopped talking.
Because in the quiet room,
the only light came from the phone.
The phone screen was awakened.
The chat window occupied the entire screen.
The last message was sent by Lin Yao, and the content was - 'Ms. Mu, Happy New Year. '
And the owner of the phone was hugging her sister who looked very similar. The two sisters closed their eyes, breathing evenly, sleeping peacefully...
like a flowing painting.
...
This year, Lin Yao's New Year experience was no different from previous years.
It was basically the same.
Because Lin Bing was not there, the two sisters had a New Year's Eve dinner with Zhang Youjie, who was considered a family member, and their grandmother, and then worshiped their ancestors and the world, and then did what they should do.
The only difference was that probably because of the influence of last year, Lin Yao and Lin Xi slept in the same bed for more than ten days this year...
The two of them were indeed warm.
Then they rested for half a month.
Lin Yao and Lin Xi packed their clothes, said goodbye to their grandmother, and returned to the metropolis Pengcheng again.
And during this time,
not much happened.
The only thing that can be regarded as related to Lin Mu Studio is the game.
"Detective Dee" was released on the 29th day of the lunar year. Because of the good response overseas, domestic players have plenty of time to play and discuss, so the popularity has remained high.
Then, probably because the quality of this year's Lunar New Year movies is generally not very good, some players were indignant and directly compared "Detective Dee" with the Lunar New Year movies... and concluded that it was a complete victory.
This incident has brought a lot of discussion to "Detective Dee".
It's a big deal.
In fact, Lin Yao doesn't like such comparisons. After all, they are not a carrier.
But she can understand the players' dissatisfaction... She can only control the comments under her official channels. As for the players' free discussion in other communities, she really can't do anything.
And Lin Yao returned to her loyal Linmu Studio on the 16th day of the first lunar month...
"...Ms. Mu, it's rare that you didn't gain weight this year."
Linmu Studio.
When Lin Yao saw the black silk glasses girl, her first reaction was to pat her belly and then dropped this sentence.
Upon hearing this, Mu Wanqing pursed her lips slightly, wanting to fight back, but then she thought about the staff coming and going here, so she had to give up.
She glared at Lin Yao in a charming way, then simply ignored Lin Yao's hand pressing on her belly and got straight to business.
"First of all, the sales of Detective Dee are out, and it officially broke through three million copies yesterday! Although there is indeed a gap compared to the five million copies of Call of Duty in less than ten days, Call of Duty cannot be used as an analogy. This game currently has the opportunity to become the first FPS with sales of tens of millions, and the two are not on the same level.
Detective Dee has sold three million copies in more than ten days, which is already excellent. At present, the game is very popular both at home and abroad, and the sales momentum is expected to be maintained for a while."
"Yeah."
Lin Yao saw that she was talking about business and took her hand away.
"The second thing is that the administrative department has confirmed the plan and date for the relocation, and the relocation of the headquarters will begin in early April."
Mu Wanqing talked about the second thing and handed the specific plan to Lin Yao: "In order not to affect the development progress and the promotion progress of existing games, the administrative department will move first, and then it will be the turn of other secondary departments. The first-line development department will be ranked last, and then the administrative department will remotely assist the development department... See if there are any problems."
Lin Yao took the plan, glanced at it, and then smiled: "Well, but remember to notify Zhu Nianqiao and Zhong Xiu, let them prepare, and don't delay the normal operation of the game. In addition, make it clear to the staff who stayed behind during the New Year, so that they won't be unable to find a place when they come back."
"Okay, I've considered all this."
Mu Wanqing smiled, nodded lightly, and then handed another document to Lin Yao: "In addition, this is your office, next to the development department."
"Oh~" Lin Yao took it, took a look, and was not very worried.
The size is moderate, and the layout and furnishings are also convenient for her work.
Miss Mu still knows her very well.
"In addition, there is one more thing..."
Mu Wanqing thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "The marketing department said that after the relocation of Linmu Studio, it is estimated that it will cause some waves. Now Linmu Studio also has a good influence, a new place and a new atmosphere, so I want to ask you, after the relocation, can you hold an event? Give back to the players, and gather the players' centripetal force and so on... I can't make up my mind about this matter."
"Events..."
Lin Yao was slightly startled when she heard this, and then smiled.
She really hadn't considered this aspect.
However.
This seems to be really worth considering.
Linmu Studio now has a lot of games and a lot of well-known IPs.
Whether it is the size or the reputation, it can already support Linmu Studio to hold activities similar to the fan festival.
For example... the model of Blizzard Carnival.
Blizzard Carnival can be said to have brought countless speculations and surprises to the players, and also left many good memories...
Of course.
It is limited to the previous few sessions,
and.
Linmu Studio will announce two games related to Blizzard this year... Adding elements such as relocation and player centripetal force, it is indeed worth considering.
Even without considering these, it seems worthwhile for Lin Yao, an old player, to reminisce.
After all, she first saw the "Burning Crusade", the expansion pack of "World of Warcraft" in her previous life, at the Blizzard Carnival.
It was full of memories.
"Let me think about it, Miss Mu. You can ask the marketing department to make a plan and investigate the opinions of the players. However, whether to hold it or not and how big it will be depends on the development progress of the new project of the development department."
Lin Yao thought about it, made up her mind, and replied: "After all, to hold such an event, we must first live up to the expectations of the players and surprise them, so there must be enough exciting games and news. Otherwise, it will easily start well but end badly, giving the players the feeling that 'we specially called everyone out just for this'... So we can hold it, but everything is subject to the progress of the development department. If we can't surprise the players , we'd rather not hold it!"
At the beginning, Dark Immortal had the feeling of 'we specially called everyone out just for this'.
This is a lesson learned from the past.
"Okay."
Seeing that Lin Yao seemed to have an idea, Mu Wanqing nodded slightly and agreed: "I'll tell the marketing department."
"What else?"
Lin Yao asked.
"There is one more thing..." Mu Wanqing paused and replied: "The staff of Peng City Culture passed a message to our internal affairs specialist."
"What?" Lin Yao immediately perked up when she heard this.
"The city hopes that we will apply for key cultural export projects, saying that there will be corresponding financial subsidies..." Mu Wanqing's face was a little strange.
"Ah? Why did they specially notify us for this kind of self-declaration?"
Lin Yao was a little surprised.
"Probably because we have never applied... and now, it seems that we can't get around the key cultural export projects in the entertainment field."
Mu Wanqing said her guess: "After all, let's not talk about the cultural aspect. Just foreign exchange, not counting online games, "Call of Duty" has made a lot of money... In addition, the recent "Detective Dee" has received a warm response overseas, and the income is also considerable, and then it has made many overseas players interested in the ancient Wu Zhou period in China, so you understand?"
"Then apply."
Lin Yao was a little amused.
She really hadn't considered this aspect. Because of the financial subsidies, Lin Yao had never considered it. After all, the financial situation of Linmu Studio itself was very good... She thought it was unnecessary.
But now, it seems very necessary.
Actually...
Peng City has a complicated impression of Linmu Studio.
The game industry is indeed a bit sensitive.
But on the other hand, it must be said that they are really good at earning foreign exchange and tax revenue. No, it should be said that they are very good in many aspects...
"Okay, I'll have someone prepare it."
Mu Wanqing nodded again.
"Are you sure everything is fine?" Lin Yao raised her hands and stretched hard. Based on her understanding of Mu Wanqing, the things she had to decide were probably over, but she still asked habitually.
"There's more."
But this time, Mu Wanqing unexpectedly said there was...
"Oh?"
Lin Yao immediately put down her hand after hearing this, a little confused.
"..."
Mu Wanqing didn't say anything, but held the information in one hand, then leaned forward slightly, and also reached out to pat Lin Yao's flat belly.
Then, she turned and left.
Lin Yao was stunned, then looked at Mu Wanqing's graceful back, and said loudly: "Childish ghost!"
...
With Lin Yao's return.
Linmu Studio is back on track...
At the beginning of this year, Linmu Studio has a lot of things to do. Although there were a lot of things in previous years, this year is indeed a little more.
After all, this year is a very important time node for Linmu Studio.
We have to move to the new headquarters and return to the field of online games.
The staff also know this.
This will be a very important year for Linmu Studio, so they are very energetic and work very quickly.
A few days after work.
Under the leadership of Lin Yao, a mysterious project team in the PC department of Linmu Studio began to operate.
The development department is busy.
The administrative department led by Mu Wanqing is also not idle. They began to prepare for the relocation of the headquarters in full swing, and also submitted the application for the key cultural export project.
The current size of Linmu Studio is not small, and there are many players who like this company.
So whatever Linmu Studio does now, every move is attracting attention.
Soon.
The two things that must be disclosed, the relocation of Linmu Studio and the application for the key cultural export project, were dug out by the players.
In this regard, most players are happy to see it happen.
There is nothing much to say about the relocation. They are not fooling the players, so it is natural for them to make money and move to a better place.
As for the application for key cultural export projects, let alone anything else, a "Detective Dee" is definitely qualified.
After all, the popularity of "Detective Dee" is still quite high. On overseas video websites, because of the influence of "Detective Dee", some people have begun to teach how to pronounce the words "Empress Wu Zetian" and "Your Majesty".
This is enough to qualify...
but...
players are players.
Just like the surge in popularity of "Call of Duty" and the huge attention it brought, it also brought about the problem of checking the composition of Linmu Studio...
standing under the spotlight, no matter how perfect, doubts will eventually arise.
With the two major actions of Linmu Studio being dug out at the beginning of the year, and because of the popularity of "Detective Dee", it rushed to the hot search on social media and became the talk of the town.
A very famous and well-known professor followed suit and made such a statement...
"Games have the attributes of public cultural products and are a carrier of historical and cultural communication. They can easily influence the thoughts and judgments of participants in a subtle way, and thus passively accept artificially processed history.
History is the support of culture. Games that arbitrarily tamper with history will only lead to inferior or even harmful cultural communication. For example, Di Renjie is a famous politician, but he is allowed to run around like a juggler and seriously crack some mysterious and illogical cases, which is ridiculous in itself.
Such an image is obviously inconsistent with historical facts, but because commercial companies abuse their influence and wrongly adapt the image, it has left a strong impression on the people at home and even overseas, which is undoubtedly very bad.
What's more, the game has a lot of bloody scenes, which undoubtedly has a very bad impact.
So let's ask ourselves, is such a game really worthy of being a key export project? - I don't think it is worthy.
I think some game companies should strengthen self-discipline and stop the dissemination of wrong adaptations, let alone make a fool of themselves overseas.
As for key exports, they should stop it as soon as possible and don't embarrass themselves."
These words.
Although no names were mentioned, combined with the context, almost everyone could guess which game company and game was being mentioned.
When these words were first posted, not many people paid attention.
But soon,
many "famous" experts and scholars came out and forwarded them.
These words were directly spread widely...
and directly triggered public opinion.
Because the players were furious.
"No, what kind of logic is this? This is a game! Do we really have to let Di Renjie sit on the throne and let the players control the character to participate in politics, just like in historical records? I just don't understand. This does not discredit Di Renjie, and even portrays him very well. Why do you think it is a laughing stock?"
"I am really impressed. This game, a rare domestic game that can cause a huge response overseas, is evaluated like this? Can you guys stop making so many fussies?"
"I really laughed. Please take a look at the overseas reviews before you say anything. Is this game so bad? You really don't know shit!"
"In fact, it is because of the great influence that mistakes become very important. He is obviously a representative of a gentleman and a good minister, but in the game he is a weird fat man. In fact, it's not that games can't be about domestic themes, but they can be fictional. Why are these real people being bullshit?"
"The person above, are you an idiot? Can't you even adapt it? It would be fine if Linmu Studio maliciously discredited it, but did they discredit it? Have you ever played the game?"
"Replying to the above, I don't want to argue with you, but it is true that the huge influence spreads the wrong image. This precedent cannot be opened! If this precedent is opened, the next time they make a game related to Confucius, will they have to make a scene of Confucius killing his enemies with his own hands? After all, history also records that he was tall and strong, but is this appropriate!? The great sage was portrayed like this and spread overseas. Is this image appropriate!?"
"Is this the same thing? Is this the same thing!?"
"Don't be impatient, in my opinion it is the same thing."
"Don't argue with the other party, you can't convince him..."
"..."
Although the players were furious.
But there were also people who agreed... and it seemed that there were quite a few.
Then the young group represented by the players directly quarreled with the other party.
Then, the situation escalated.
And Linmu Studio.
Of course, they soon knew about this incident.
Lin Yao heard it from Mu Wanqing.
After hearing it.
Lin Yao was stunned in place, and after a long time, she smiled bitterly.
"..."
Mu Wanqing looked at the girl in front of her, and suddenly felt distressed, because it was the first time she saw the girl showing such a helpless look...
"I know... the application has been submitted, so let's see the review opinion."
Lin Yao said this, paused, and then opened her mouth.
But in the end, all her words turned into a light sigh: "As for the public opinion on social media, don't worry about it, prepare to start the promotion of "Sherlock Holmes"... Forget about the rest..."
Sorry...
