Chapter 181: Free Publicity

Lin Yi didn't bother them, just stood aside and drank the juice, watching the two of them react.

The two of them were speaking in foreign languages, which Lin Yi couldn't understand, but seeing their excited faces, they let out a burst of cheers from time to time, and seemed to be having a good time.

They shouted and shouted, attracting the sideways glances of passers-by, and a backpacker with glasses was attracted to play on another computer, only to be out of control, staring intently at the screen with both eyes unmoving.

Lin Yi thought it was funny, went back and bought a bag of fries, and continued to watch.

Finally, the number of people began to increase, and the little couple saw that there were many people in the back row, and knew that they couldn't keep occupying the computer, so they retreated very well.

They were replaced by a middle-aged uncle, but judging by his skillful movements, he must be a veteran player.

Sure enough, it only took more than twenty minutes for the uncle to clear all the levels, and then he retreated unsatisfied, but did not leave, but stood aside and acted as a volunteer to teach the players behind him how to operate.

Lin Yi looked at the uncle's expression, as if to say: "This is the exhibition hall of that game company, it's so irresponsible, why don't you even have a reception staff?" I've got to be a player myself. ”

The man with glasses on the other side also stepped back, took a picture of the computer screen, and then shared the photo and his game experience on their country's social platforms.

In fact, not only the man with glasses did it himself, but other people who have played it are also sharing, Lin Yi doesn't know what they say, but they all look like they are still unsatisfied and want to continue playing, the evaluation should be very good.

In this way, Lin Yi stood by and watched, watching batch after batch of players come in and out, and every player who has played the game will put their votes into the ballot box next to them.

Soon, the morning passed, and Lin Yi couldn't see the number in the ballot box, but his exhibition hall had been constantly crowded, although it was not overcrowded, but it was much better than many exhibition halls.

Especially the exhibition hall of the other two domestic games, not only does it occupy a larger area than his, but there are also many staff inside, providing help to players, but there are very few people who go in to play.

Compared with them, Lin Yi's exhibition hall is relatively popular.

Of course, compared with those big foreign games, there are still some gaps, after all, they are all old game companies, their games have been tested by the market, and there are many sequels to popular games, many fans come to cheer, and the popularity is naturally high.

Lin Yi is alone, and he is definitely not popular.

"Teacher Lin!"

Lin Yi was about to leave the game festival site to go out for dinner, when he saw Su Xuemei running over, carrying a fast food box in her hand: "This is for you, it's our working meal, don't dislike it." ”

"Haha, how could I be disgusted?" Lin Yi took it with a smile and said, "I'm still afraid that I won't be used to eating foreign food, but our rice is delicious." ”

The two sat down to eat and chat, and Su Xuemei told Lin Yi that there were several popular games from abroad participating in the competition this time, and they mobilized fans to vote on the spot, and the competition was very fierce.

"I don't want to say it, but it's too hard for our game to win awards."

Su Xuemei glanced at the promotional advertisement of "Plants vs. Zombies" next to her, looked at the deserted exhibition hall, and sighed: "Teacher Lin, if our game doesn't win the award, don't be discouraged, you must be firm in your beliefs and continue to move forward!" ”

Although she is optimistic about Lin Yi's game, the reality is not as beautiful as she imagined.

Lin Yi smiled slightly and said, "I can be less fragile, setbacks and failures will only make me stronger!" ”

"That's good!" Su Xuemei raised her drink glass: "Then let's cheer, I wish you a prize next time!" ”

In her heart, Lin Yi is out of play this time, because Lin Yi's game is not famous abroad at all, and no one has even heard of it, how can it compete with the games of other large foreign companies?

Although the game designed by Lin Yi is really fun, and it can even be said that it is more fun than all the games at the game festival, it is absolutely unremarkable without any popularity and publicity.

Lin Yi is very calm, for him, it is best to win the award, if he can't, he doesn't force it.

Because, his purpose this time is just to make his game go abroad to gild, and when he returns to China, it will be easier to apply for a sales license.

After all, those old men in China only fancy this.

Time flies quickly, and by one o'clock in the afternoon, the players who had gone out to eat and rest returned to the festival site again, this time going straight to their favorite game showroom, no longer wasting time, because the festival will end at 9 pm.

If you want to play your favorite games, you have to hurry.

Thundered......

A large group of players rushed towards Lin Yi's side, Lin Yi and Su Xuemei were stunned for a moment, and then looked back, they thought that these players were going to other game exhibition halls, but they didn't expect that this large group of people poured directly into his exhibition hall!

Because there were only two machines, these foreigners could only queue up and complain loudly about something at the same time, Lin Yi couldn't understand, but guessed that he might be asking: "Why are there only two trial machines?" ”

Su Xuemei's eyes lit up, she immediately jumped up, rushed up with the microphone, and grabbed a foreigner to start the interview.

Lin Yi couldn't understand either, so he could only stand by and watch.

I have to say that the quality of this group of foreigners is indeed very high, because the machines are limited, and there are too many people who want to play, and there are no staff, so two people stand up and take the initiative to help maintain order.

Seeing the order of the scene become orderly, Lin Yi was a little embarrassed, as a game designer, these tasks should be done by him.

But he didn't know a foreign language, so he couldn't help at all, so he could only watch.

"Thank you!"

After Su Xuemei's interview, she returned to Lin Yi's side excitedly and said with a smile: "Teacher Lin, your game is on fire!" ”

"Oh? Tell me, what the hell is going on? ”

Lin Yi is also very strange, how did these foreign players find this place without any publicity?

Seeing that they rushed here with a very clear purpose before, it was obvious that they knew it in advance, could it be that someone did propaganda for him?

Sure enough, I heard Su Xuemei say: "These players saw the introduction of your game on the largest game forum in their country, and then they were attracted to it. ”

"In addition, there are some short video platforms that are also playing the screen of your game, which has also attracted many players to come and try it, which is why so many people poured in at once!"

Lin Yi suddenly realized: "So that's the case, I said, why did so many people suddenly pop up." ”

He remembered that there were a few players who had tried the game before, using their mobile phones or cameras to take various photos of the game screen, presumably they were anchors or bloggers or something.

"So I'm pretty lucky."

Lin Yi smiled: "I didn't spend a penny, someone helped me publicize, and the effect was not bad!" ”

"Mr. Lin, it's not that you're lucky, it's that your game design is good!"

Su Xuemei said with a serious expression: "The fragrance of wine is not afraid of deep alleys, it is gold that will shine sooner or later!" Now I have new expectations for your game, and it will definitely win prizes! ”

"Thank you for your blessings." Lin Yi smiled and thanked him.

Looking forward to the better and better of his country is the thinking of a normal Chinese person, and people like Xu Jin can only be spurned!

Because of the crowd effect, more and more players are attracted to it, and many people don't know whether "Plants vs. Zombies" is fun or not, but when they see so many people queuing, they also follow the queue and want to find out.

Seeing that there were too many people, Su Xuemei helped Lin Yi contact the staff of the game festival and asked them to temporarily open an exhibition hall and increase the number of trial machines to meet the needs of players.

In the beginning, the staff opened a small exhibition hall and added ten machines, but it was completely insufficient.

Because there are too many people, and many people are reluctant to play after playing, they will generally drag the machine to other people.

As a result, the number of people in line has not decreased, but has increased.

In desperation, the staff opened up a larger exhibition hall, this time adding fifty machines, which was barely enough.

As a result, Lin Yi's game exhibition hall has changed from one to three, and the trial machine has also changed from two to more than sixty.

But even so, it still can't meet the needs of players, and there are still many people queuing.

This scene attracted the attention of more game streamers and reporters, who publicized and reported on the incident, so more people were attracted to it.

However, because everyone was attracted by Lin Yi's game, the other exhibition halls became deserted, and their staff felt inexplicable, they were overcrowded before, why are they so crowded now?

A few staff members secretly ran over to investigate, and were taken aback by the crowd of people in Lin Yi's exhibition hall, they were very curious about what kind of game could attract so many players to play.

So they ran to the front to watch the trial, but they were so intrigued that they were reluctant to go back until their supervisor called them back.

Lin Yi sat on the side, watching those foreigners playing their games with great interest, shouting about victory or defeat, and found it funny.

"Mr. Lin, do you want to know what foreigners say about your game?"

Su Xuemei leaned over, took her mobile phone to look at foreign game forums, and said to Lin Yi next to her: "They give you unanimous praise for your games!" ”

"For example, the title of this post is, 'This is Dahua Games? A genre that has never been seen before, and it's super fun! ’”

"There are still many netizens leaving messages below, and I will also read it to you."

"It's the best game I've ever played at this festival, it's so creative, it's amazing how cute plants are connected with scary zombies!"

"The refreshing upgrade battle makes me want to stop, I can't believe it, this is actually made by the big Chinese!"

"I've always believed that our game is the number one in the world and no one has surpassed it. But now my mind has been shaken, this game from the Great Chinese design, subverted my previous opinion, oh my God, it's so fun! ”

"I'm also at the demo site, so I'll show you the crowd in line...... It's horrible, three hours in line, 30 minutes to try, the conditions are more demanding than those big game showrooms, but I think it's worth it! ”

"Dahua's game designer is so good, this is something I couldn't have imagined, I personally think that this game is definitely the best game of this game festival, I don't care what others say about it, anyway, I have already voted for it! We hope others will support the game as well! ”

"How did the designers come up with such a fun game? Nothing short of genius! My girlfriend and I take turns lining up, we've tried it three times, but we still haven't had enough, and we're still in line, hoping to play it for the fourth time! ”

"The game is very, very good, but unfortunately there are only 10 levels, the content is too short, and then I learned that this is the demo version, so I look forward to the release of the official version of this game, I will definitely buy one to start!"

"To be honest, I suspect that the designer of this game is not a big Chinese. Because I went to the showroom of two other Dahua games, their games were just a piece of shit! It's completely incomparable! ”

……

Hearing Su Xuemei reading the messages of foreign netizens, Lin Yi smiled at the corner of his mouth: "These foreign players are still very good, unlike the licking dogs in our country, it is really rare to see that our country is good." ”

As soon as Xu Jin and Su Xuemei were mentioned, she became angry: "That bastard is still praising foreigners and belittling his own people in his live broadcast room, I doubt whether he is a big Chinese or not!" ”

For people like Xu Jin, Lin Yi didn't want to comment too much, because it was meaningless.

Because you can never wake up someone who doesn't want to wake up.

Time flies very quickly, 9 o'clock in the evening has arrived, but many players are still in front of the computer and refuse to leave, and they have to beat the level.

In the end, the staff had to extend the closing time until all the people left.

Next is the award ceremony, everyone came to another auditorium, the stage host is ready, and at the same time, all the invited game companies and individuals of this game festival are sitting in the audience, waiting for the results to be announced.

Lin Yi's location is in a remote place, there is no way, his status cannot be compared with those big companies and gold medal game designers, he doesn't care, anyway, as long as he can see the stage.

Su Xuemei deliberately came over to sit with him and acted as a translator, saving Lin Yi a lot of trouble.

When the time came, a black host wearing a baseball cap and his partner, a white beauty walked briskly onto the stage to the sound of energetic music, and then kicked off the awards with the cheers and applause of the audience.

"Ah, you look so cute!" The male host held the female partner's hand, full of affection.

The latter smiled brightly: "Thank you for the compliment!" ”

"No thanks, I said that to everyone!" The host's joke caused the audience to laugh, and he turned around and pointed at everyone and shouted, "You guys are very cute today!" ”

"Now, I can't wait to find out what the winning games are today, and are you as excited as I am?"

The audience burst into cheers, shouting about their favorite game and hoping that the game would win a prize.

The male host took out an envelope and read: "Then first of all, the first award: the Best Visual Award!" ”
