Yes, Mingyan is currently too busy to handle everything, so he has also assigned himself a secretary.
He had his secretary draft a time for Ling Lingqi's online interview, and then sent a formal interview invitation to the other party.
The secretary quickly carried out the orders he personally gave.
They also took the opportunity to investigate Ling Lingqi's past posts on the forum.
I found this person to be quite shy, like a tech geek who rarely leaves the house.
Blue Star Studio has many tech geeks who are truly passionate about games—for example, the programmer who was a figurine enthusiast and made significant contributions to the studio.
This little incident was quickly put aside by Mingyan.
However, it generated quite a bit of discussion on the forum.
Because Ling Lingqi posted the following in his signature: "[All modules will be temporarily suspended; the author is preparing for an interview at Blue Star Studio.]"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Many people immediately gathered under Ling Lingqi's post.
—So it turns out that well-made modules can be appreciated by the official Blue Star team!
It is said that Chief Designer Ming personally met with Ling Lingqi and then sent him an interview invitation.
Surprisingly, even the written test was waived.
...He did indeed join Blue Star Studio later, but that's another story.
Many players never expected this to happen!
If they had known earlier that this was also a way to get into Blue Star Studio, they might have given it a try.
Even if I'm ultimately rejected after the interview, at least I received a personal invitation from Chief Designer Ming...
"A mod creator recognized by Blue Star Studio" is a pretty good qualification in itself.
Finally, in addition to the "Redstone Music Festival" and the "Redstone Machine Awards," Bluestar also hosts a long-term event called "World Record Clearance."
Actually, players had been trying to complete the game as quickly as possible a long time ago; this was an activity that circulated among the public.
However, this world record has been broken to within three minutes, causing quite a stir on the forum.
So Mingyan simply had the official website record it as well.
This kind of activity doesn't require many resources, but it easily cultivates player loyalty, so why not do it?
Of course, the biggest activity on Bluestar's official website is not the series of events for older games.
It's actually the first trailer for the latest project, "Blue Planet Apocalypse"!
This is a concept trailer released before the game was fully developed.
The overall tone is very artistic, using cool metallic colors to freeze-frame the images.
The black and white subtitles first appear amidst the gentle music.
On the first day, the arrival of the zombies caught us completely off guard. We took up arms.
Then the first freeze-frame 3D scene appears:
In the cramped room, a woman with her back to the camera is holding her child in terror, the boy's mouth is wide open, and a man is standing at the doorway holding a steel pipe.
Outside, a man covered in blood desperately clung to the door chain, as if begging them to open it.
In the darkness behind him, countless cold, green eyes gleamed.
The next day, having lost everything, I awoke.
The woman knelt on the ground, holding the boy's body, looking up at the sky as if she were letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
Around her, the ground was covered with the limbs of countless zombies.
On the third day, following the plague and the war, famine arrived.
The woman still had her back to the camera.
She stood in front of another mother and child, as if to give them a bag of flour as charity.
However, the mother hugged her child tightly in fear, tears streaming down her face.
The image flashed by, and then blood-red subtitles appeared.
She thought I wanted to trade flour for her son.
He is flesh.
As the blood-red words disappeared into the darkness, the music amplified melodiously, and a sacred female voice sang a lament.
The final freeze-frame 3D scene depicts a city covered in greenery.
The impact of humankind on the natural world is wiped away in a negligible instant; cities are reduced to ruins, only to be quickly replaced by greenery.
Amidst the ruins, a woman stands with her back to the sky, gazing up at the sunlight.
Countless voices rang out simultaneously, some passionate, some calm, some desperate.
"I am willing to give my life for the survival of humanity!"
