Upon hearing this, Xia Cheng exclaimed, "This is outrageous!"
"Ahem," Xia Cheng quickly interrupted, "Actually, it's not the power of the dark room itself, but rather that you've already accumulated a lot of inspiration, you just haven't had time to let the sparks fly. I've heard that artistic creation itself is actually a reprocessing of one's life experiences, so..."
Mingyan nodded: "Yes, you make a good point. I'll try that kind of life again someday when I run out of inspiration."
Xia Cheng: "..." He let out a sigh of relief.
I have this feeling that I stopped my boyfriend from becoming a monk again today...
The two wandered around the carnival for a while, and then had a meal at the Blue Star themed restaurant.
During the event, Mingyan took off his mask while eating and was immediately recognized by enthusiastic fans.
Helpless, Mingyan could only take photos with everyone and sign many names.
A few minutes later, Xia Cheng put on sunglasses, looking incredibly cool, and stood in front of the fans, saying seriously, "Please don't disturb Designer Ming while he's eating!"
The fans then calmed down from their excitement, realized what had happened, apologized, and made way for them.
Even so, Mingyan still felt that he had never had such a... highly anticipated meal before.
In the evening, the float representing Blue Star's official cosplay event took to the streets.
Familiar characters and big bosses from various games appeared one after another, causing all the players to stand on both sides of the road, eagerly waiting.
Mingyan was finally able to make a low-key escape again, and he didn't forget to tease Xia Cheng, saying, "Luckily, I have a bodyguard who's 1.8 meters tall."
Xia Cheng smiled and said, "When will I be paid, Boss Ming? I don't want any money, I just want a kiss."
Mingyan laughed, looked around, and pulled him into the alley.
Hmm, cough cough...
Time quickly passed to 8 PM, and this year's player meet-up was still held online.
Mingyan went online ahead of schedule and changed his virtual avatar.
Before I even left the backstage area, several staff members came up to ask for my autograph.
Mingyan signed his name for each of them.
A young woman, blushing, hugged his autograph to her chest and said, "Chief Engineer Ming! I'm your biggest fan! I really, really want to join Blue Star Studio, but I failed the interview last time... I'm interning here now, and I hope that after gaining work experience, I'll have the opportunity to participate in social recruitment next time and become an operations staff member of Blue Star!"
Upon hearing this, Mingyan smiled gently and said, "Yes, thank you, and I hope everything goes well for you in the future."
Mingyan thinks that young people with dreams like this are indeed very endearing.
Blue Star Studio is celebrating its fifth anniversary. During recruitment, we have encountered many young people like this, and those who are both lucky and capable have been able to join Blue Star.
The remaining many either settled for second best and joined other game companies or studios in the industry;
They were either more attached to BlueStar than to the gaming industry, choosing to join a BlueStar subsidiary or a company that collaborated with BlueStar, thinking they had the advantage of being close to the source.
Indeed, Blue Star has recruited talent from various channels in the past.
However, this is something that ultimately depends on individual ability; it cannot be accomplished simply by having a passion for it.
The minor backstage incident quickly passed, and with the enthusiastic voice of the host on stage, Mingyan strode onto the stage.
As I stepped onto it, I felt a sudden burst of light before my eyes, and the deafening roar of the entire arena enveloped me like a tidal wave.
Countless people here are watching him and listening to his voice.
Mingyan smiled and waved, saying, "You're here!"
"Aa ...
The audience erupted in screams and whistles; the girls' sweet voices were impossible to ignore.
Even more surprisingly, a familiar tenor shouted in falsetto, "The devil has come!!"
Amid laughter and cheers, the designers of Blue Star took their seats one by one.
The host stepped forward, picked up the microphone, and said with a smile, "Hello, Chief Designer Ming, and hello to all the designers on Blue Star! As the host of this year's carnival, I feel a great responsibility to speak up for the people. So let's skip the formalities and start with a crucial question—"
He stated explicitly: "Important?"
The host said with a serious expression, "Yes! It concerns the happiness and well-being of millions of people here!"
Mingyan looked exasperated; he had already guessed it.
Sure enough, the host asked, "Master Ming, when exactly will 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' be released?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the audience below the stage started shouting wildly, as if they were afraid that Mingyan would not be able to feel their excitement.
After that deafening roar subsided.
Mingyan raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, saying helplessly, "Friends, believe us, we can feel your eagerness, we feel the same way. The production team has already worked incredibly hard, and 'The Legend of the Condor Heroes' is expected to be completed before next year—"
"Hush—!!!" The audience shouted in dissatisfaction.
Ming thought to himself, "As expected," and then slowly said, "Alright, alright, given your enthusiasm, I've decided to move it forward by two months. 'The Knight Errant' will be released before October."
"Waaaaaaahhhhhh! Long live the leader!!!"
The audience immediately erupted in cheers and applause.
Some people were so moved by Mingyan's words that they almost cried, feeling that they had never seen a designer who cared so much about the players.
