2008, end of April

There are only a little over three months until the Beijing Olympics, and Beijing is full of various Olympic elements.

Olympic Fuwa symbols are everywhere in the streets and alleys. The city's appearance is becoming more tidy and clean, and the sports atmosphere is getting stronger. Advertising slogans and signboards of Olympic stars can be found everywhere.

There is also a bit of internationalization. The old men and women who perform yangko and practice swordplay in the square can all say "hello", "bengzhu" and "stop their eyes".

The two old Beijingers had braised pork in the morning. When they met, it was not "Have you eaten?", but "How are you?"

Countless Chinese people are eagerly looking forward to the arrival of an Olympic Games that belongs to all Chinese people...

In this atmosphere, relevant units are also actively planning to increase publicity for the Olympics, adding fuel to everyone's surging enthusiasm for the Olympics.

On April 30, led by the Olympic Leadership Group, a 100-day countdown celebration of the Beijing Olympics and an Olympic song collection, selection and award ceremony were held at the Imperial Ancestral Temple in Beijing.

Songs related to the Beijing Olympics, except for a few that were left at the Olympic opening ceremony, will basically appear at this party.

The party was held in the evening, and CCTV broadcast the entire event live. At the same time, starting in the morning, CCTV and major local satellite TVs, in conjunction with many online platforms, began to release an Olympic Games promotional song MV.

The name of this song and the theme of the evening party are both the same name "The Capital Welcomes You".

Capital Normal University, Dormitory 404

"Lao Gao, Lao Cai, Lao Tian, ​​get up and eat."

Xia Hu returned to the dormitory carrying several bags of steamed buns and soy milk, called up several roommates, and was greeted with gratitude from everyone.

"Brother Hu, you are a good person in love. You make yourself happy and benefit everyone."

Gao Qing was holding a bun in his mouth and was full of praise for Xia Hu's father's behavior. Cai Que and Tian Wuxuan next to him also nodded repeatedly.

"Go away, if it weren't for the fact that I was chasing my wife and you were so busy, I wouldn't bother to care about you. But we have agreed that for this semester, I will fall in love with whomever I want next semester."

"Don't worry, Lao Tian is having a heated fight with the schoolgirl from before school. As per the old rules, the brothers will help out. He will bring us meals for one semester."

"No problem, as long as you are a good friend, you can take care of him for a year."

Chubby Tian Wuxuan's breasts smacked loudly. He turned around and they were already in their junior year. No matter what happened to them in the dormitory, at least they all had girlfriends in college before.

He is the only one who doesn't have a girlfriend even in middle school, let alone college. He is commonly known as a virgin. He finally hooked up with a school girl, but so far he has only chatted and made no progress. He is feeling anxious.

"Old Tian, ​​you have to take the right medicine for this thing. Did you get what the girl liked last time?"

Cai Que, who speaks with a slight northeastern accent, is the most handsome in the dormitory and the one who understands the emotions of both sexes best. Although he is currently single, he has nearly double digits of college girlfriends before and is recognized as the number one in the 404 dormitory.

Saint of love.

Cai Que's guidance was indispensable for Xia Hu and Gao Qing's successful divorce before, and Tian Wuxuan certainly didn't dare to neglect them.

"I figured it out. I like music and movies. My favorite star is Cao Xuan, then Gu Miaomiao and Hu Ge."

"Hey, you have good taste."

Cai Que, who is also a fan of Cao Xuan and Gu Miaomiao, couldn't help but praise them.

"However, there are two handsome guys and a beautiful girl. This girl is more pretentious, so Lao Tian will suffer."

Gao Qing patted Tian Wuxuan's bulging belly and grasped the vital point. Tian Wuxuan hurriedly explained.

"No, she said she mainly likes the talents of Cao Xuan and others, not their reputation."

"It's good to listen to this, but at least it's an entry point. We usually talk more about relevant news and gossip, and make appointments to see any movies and concerts. If we go back and forth, won't the relationship become warmer?"

"Yeah, yeah, I talk to her every day. I wanted to ask her to watch "Escape" last time, but it happened to be winter vacation and she finished watching it at her hometown."

"Children can be taught."

Cai Que nodded happily. Although his brother is a little fatter, his facial features are not ugly, he has a good temper, he is always available, and he has plenty of money. If this continues, his "father" will not have to worry about being the one who will provide meals next semester.

There was no class in the morning, so after dinner, a few people stayed in the dormitory to play games, and the game they played happened to be the 2D fighting game "Dungeon & Fighter" launched by Box Games and Penguin in early April.

A few people don't know much about this game. Only Gao Qing, who loves playing games, has heard people mention it a few times on the forum.

It is said that this game was originally developed by a Korean game company, and was later bought out by Box Games, and then jointly operated with Penguin.

Because of Penguin's huge user base, the upper limit is less than one month, but it has accumulated millions of players. During the closed beta period alone, it became one of the most popular online games in April.

They also went to the Internet cafe to play because of Gao Qing. They saw many people playing it and thought the game was good, so they brought it back to the dormitory.

After that, Xia Hu and Cai Que were also brought along and played along every day, even putting "World of Warcraft" aside.

"Hello, my name is Celia."

Accompanied by the distinctive opening music and NPC greetings, several people talked about today's game plan.

"I want to practice as a Ghost Swordsman today. I heard that switching to Devil May Cry is particularly powerful."

"I want to practice Paladin. Yesterday I met a blue fist who was really awesome."

"You guys are not paying attention. Look, I only practice sharpshooting. My gunnery master is already level 35."

"That's great. Now that you've risen, you can take us back."

"grass……"

Several people were arguing with each other, while Tian Wuxuan controlled his summoner and casually beat goblins while sending QQ messages to his goddess on his mobile phone.

【exist?】

【Are you up?】

[It’s a bit cooler today, so wear more clothes]

【……】

I sent several messages and didn’t receive a reply until after 10 o’clock.

[I just went out to eat with my roommate, I just returned to the dormitory, I didn’t see it before]

[It’s okay, it’s okay, what did you eat?]

[Just steamed buns and porridge]

[Haha, what a coincidence, what I ate in the morning was also steamed buns]

【(Smile)】

If Cai Que saw this awkward conversation, he probably wouldn't be too optimistic about the wonderful days of "food comes to eat" in the next semester.

However, Tian Wuxuan himself felt good and felt that he and his girl "had a great time chatting" and "liked each other very well". As long as he worked a little harder, he would be pregnant with the beautiful woman.

His feeling was actually not unreasonable, because although the two of them chatted awkwardly, the girl always ignored him and took the initiative to stir up topics from time to time.

This is already the kind of treatment that countless licking dogs can only ask for...

[Pangpang, have you read the hot searches on the blog? Cao Xuan is so talented]

【What hot search?】

[The capital welcomes you. If you haven’t seen it yet, go and see it. I’m sure it will shock you.]

【Okay, I'll go see it right away】

The goddess spoke, and Tian Wuxuan was very active. He directly sold his teammates in the copy, quit the game, opened the Penguin blog, and went straight to the hot search list.

Penguin Blog has been gradually transforming since this year. For example, clicking on the blog will no longer jump to the personal page, increasing interactivity, enhancing the mobile update function, turning the previous popular blog list into a more real-time hot search list, etc.

However, due to the user habits accumulated in the past few years, except for a few functions, the other results are average, and many old users dislike making random changes.

So under Cao Xuan's suggestion, as well as the rise of foreign websites such as Twitter and Facebook, Penguin realized that the blog should be fully upgraded.

A more real-time and open [microblog] can better fit the upcoming trend of mobile Internet.

In 2007, Penguin was developing a brand new [Penguin Weibo], but they did not want to give up easily on the Penguin Blog that they had finally built. They hoped to perfectly realize the transition from Penguin Blog to Weibo, so they had been preparing with both hands.

But now it seems that it is not impossible to slowly transition the blog into Weibo, but the progress is too slow.

At this time, Sina and NetEase have already launched Weibo. Penguin, who had dominated the blogging period before, understands the disadvantages of being too late.

If someone really takes the lead, even if Penguin has super user traffic and Cao Xuan's star resources, it may not be able to overwhelm the other party. After all, the three major portals are not really good at it.

Therefore, after discussion, Xiao Ma and others finally decided to shift the strategic focus from blogging to Weibo.

At present, Penguin Weibo has almost taken shape and is undergoing internal testing. If nothing unexpected happens, Penguin Weibo will be officially launched during the Olympic Games in August based on this trend.

Before the advent of Weibo, Penguin Blog was still the most popular social networking site.

The second-ranked Sina Blog, because many big Vs have been banned by Penguin Blog all year round, and their thoughts and opinions are relatively radical. In 2022, they will basically be consumables with an average of 500,000 per capita, and most of the users affected by them will be mixed.

Users with attributes such as cent partisans, extreme thinkers, and Cao Hei account for 70% of the entire website, causing the entire Sina blog to become extremely violent, with even Tieba being forced to retreat.

Many ordinary netizens often cannot adapt to the atmosphere of Sina blogs, and rarely go there except for occasional blog posts.

Although Penguin Blog has its flaws, big and small, overall, it is still a relatively normal social networking site and is the first choice for countless netizens.

Tian Wuxuan usually hangs out on the blog. He opens the web page and goes straight to the hot search list without even looking for it. The top hot search is "The capital welcomes you". After that, add a big word "Explosion" and click on it to change the title.

It's sensational.

"The Strongest All-Star Lineup in History, Chinese Stars Sing Olympic Promotional Song"

The best All-Star in history?

Tian Wuxuan was slightly disdainful. This group of media likes to use headlines. A few celebrities are "the most luxurious in history" or "half of the entertainment industry". They are almost tired of using both words.

Groaning in his heart, Tian Wuxuan directly clicked on the video and thought for a while about how to criticize this MV in front of the goddess and show off his knowledge.

At the beginning of the video, there is the logo of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, followed by a Peking Opera voice, and the camera flashes through various folk styles with Beijing characteristics.

The vermilion gate of the Forbidden City opens inwards, and the camera jumps to the Zhengyang Gate, where a little girl in white and red skirt sings softly in a clear child's voice.

"Welcome another morning and bring fresh air."
