It gave all players a surprise from the very beginning.
The players are very excited.
And this excitement lasted until "Another One Bites the Dust" was played.
In fact, there have been many songs that players are familiar with.
And the same venue, the same stage, the same producer, and then the same songs.
All of this will undoubtedly bring back memories for players.
Then.
The last song "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen is equivalent to the final blow.
The dead memories seem to come alive and begin to attack all players.
At that moment, players will all look towards the entrance gate, which is normal.
In fact.
Lin Yao is watching the live broadcast, so she knows it very well.
It’s not just the players on the scene.
The players in the live broadcast room actually also recalled "Lin Yao" at the moment when Queen's famous song played.
The whole screen is filled with ‘Lin Yao’.
At this time, no matter how fast the real-time comments are scrolled, they can still be seen clearly.
Because all players are brushing the same word.
Even across the screen, you can feel the players' expectations that seem to spill out of the screen...
"..."
When Lin Yao saw this scene, she immediately straightened up, walked away from Mu Wanqing, then looked at the screen, lightly scratched her face, showing an embarrassed expression.
This...can't be right?
Mu Wanqing stood aside and smiled helplessly.
Knew it……
but.
It's too late to say anything now.
Lin Yao really couldn't get over it.
Even if she could get over it, Mu Wanqing would not let her take the stage again.
From a personal level, it is certainly okay for Lin Yao to put out the fire.
But from the company's point of view, the decision has been made, and now it's really hurtful to have a sudden change of heart.
Even all the staff inside Linmu Studio also want to see that scene.
in addition.
The company and Lin Yao are deeply bound, and this is true.
Mu Wanqing also knew about Lin Yao's escape plan... He really couldn't say anything like asking her to put out the fire.
I can only hope that players won’t be too sad.
Mu Wanqing also looked at the screen and sighed softly.
the other side.
on site.
Players' memories have been brought back.
But memories were brought back.
In the end, the scene everyone expected to see did not happen.
The memories that have come up, without being vented, have become a mountain, a mountain weighing on my heart...
When the song "Another One Bites the Dust" was finished.
The scene even fell into an eerie silence.
All the players looked directly at the stage.
There was no cheering, no sound.
Zhong Xiu, who had been playing so passionately just now, shivered on the stage when he met the eyes of so many players.
fine.
This situation did not last long.
After all, there are still overseas players participating in the carnival. Their feelings for Lin Yao are not that deep, and their views are much more pure.
In their opinion, Lin Yao is just a very beautiful boss.
They didn't make a sound just now, but the vast majority of domestic players didn't make a sound. They realized that something was wrong with the atmosphere.
But after they held it in for a while, they couldn't hold it in anymore.
So under their leadership.
soon.
Zhong Xiu and others on the stage still received the applause and cheers they deserved.
However, this not only did not make Zhong Xiu relax, but made him even more nervous.
Because the silence just now was really terrifying...
And the scene.
The players were just silent.
In the live broadcast room, it was a different situation.
"Where's Lin Yao!? This can't come out! The atmosphere is so high!"
"I thought she was coming... but she still didn't come out."
"I'm so disappointed. It was the best time just now, so Lin Yao, when will you come out!?"
"My expectations have reached its peak just now, but it didn't come out. It's a rare mistake by Lin Mu Studio."
"Brothers in front, don't lie to yourself, be mentally prepared, Lin Yao may not come out..."
"..."
Because of the existence of real-time comments.
Players in the live broadcast room were able to express their feelings at the moment.
But most players still retain hope.
Until some players pierced the window paper.
soon.
Even the real-time comments in the live broadcast room are not that many...
on site.
The performance on the stage still continues.
The producers took turns, and to be honest, the sincerity was really not enough.
But Lin Yao never came out.
The players also looked absent-minded and frequently looked towards the playing goal.
Compared to the beginning.
The atmosphere is completely different...
An unspeakable atmosphere began to spread in the audience...
Although no one at the scene could comment.
But even if no one pierced the window paper, everyone thought of that possibility.
Moreover, they have already begun to prepare mentally for this possibility.
But doing psychological construction at the scene not only has no effect, but the luck mentality is actually strengthened...
And once there is a sense of luck, when the result is in front of you, everything becomes more difficult to accept...
The closing ceremony comes to the final stage.
Needless to say, staff like Zhong Xiu and Qi Jianhua who are always on stage.
Other staff also came up to the stage to thank all the players.
Even Xi Qianyu from the marketing department came up.
As long as the players can name the producers, they will basically come on stage and thank the audience in the audience.
A huge crowd of people appeared on the stage.
Just one song to make tonight unforgettable...
"Thank you all for coming to the carnival."
And finally.
It was Zhong Xiu who opened his mouth and said the final words of this year...
then.
The fireworks fell.
Music continued to play on the stage.
Everything is the same as in previous years.
But this year.
There was deathly silence under the stage...
This time, even those overseas players did not dare to cheer.
Because the air seems to be stagnant...
at the same time.
Studio.
I don’t know if anyone else has seen the scene where real-time comments stalled.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, Lin Yao saw it...
When all the producers came on stage to express their thanks, Zhong Xiu announced the end of this year's carnival.
That moment.
It's like time has stopped.
The real-time comments that were still scrolling stopped instantly...
Except for those previously posted by players, no new real-time comments appeared at all.
This uncomfortable stagnation lasted for several seconds.
New real-time comments just appeared...
The players went crazy...
at the same time.
on site.
The unbearable silence below the stage also lasted for more than ten seconds.
Then.
Then there was a sound.
The players applauded the producers who thanked them.
But there was no cheering, and their demeanor became completely different. Most of the players looked very depressed...
It's so outrageous that I'm almost crying...
And their applause was not loud, but seemed weak.
In fact, most of the live audience has already done a good job of psychological preparation.
But again, there is no point in doing psychological construction in this situation...
Then.
This year's forest carnival came to an end in this depressed atmosphere.
…
On the stage.
After Zhong Xiu fell into silence in the audience, his breathing stagnated, and he finally understood where the uneasiness he felt before going on stage came from.
At that moment, he really felt out of breath...
The same goes for other staff.
until.
The audience burst into applause.
He breathed a sigh of relief.
fine……
Zhong Xiu looked at the audience under the stage and smiled helplessly, although he couldn't save his hair.
But I can still accept it...
This idea just came to him.
But found.
After the players finished applauding, they were still looking at the goal... as if they were still expecting something.
After noticing this.
Zhong Xiu was immediately stunned.
Then, he discovered again.
Even though the closing ceremony was over, not a single domestic player stood up and prepared to leave...
On stage.
The other producers are getting ready to go.
But offstage.
Still no players have left.
They were all still looking at the stage and where the entrance door was.
"..."
Zhong Xiu came back to his senses, then looked at the glances from below, smiled bitterly, and murmured: "Lin Yao, you have really done all the bad things now..."
…
No matter how much the players expect it.
finally.
Lin Yao still didn't show up.
The audience did not leave for a long time.
But there is no point in spending it this way.
After nearly fifteen minutes, someone in the audience finally moved.
Then.
The players finally left.
But when the audience left the venue, they seemed particularly silent...
As for the forum.
In particular, Linmu Studio's official forum "Game Circle" is even more gloomy.
Originally, at the end of the carnival every year, the forum would experience a wave of postings.
But this year.
Not only are there not many new posts.
Even the post summarizing the closing ceremony was not posted...
To know.
It's been half an hour since the closing ceremony ended.
This is enough to write anything.
It hasn't been posted yet, the only possibility is that...it doesn't want to be posted.
Nearly an hour later.
The post summarizing the closing ceremony has finally been posted.
And this reposted post, starting from the title, reveals a sad atmosphere.
[The closing ceremony of Linmu Studio ended, Lin Yao did not appear...[crying]]
The final crying emoticon.
It simply represents the mood of the players.
So very quickly.
The first batch of players to reply sent this expression without saying anything.
then.
Other players also followed suit.
Later, even other players were infected.
That night.
The entire homepage.
All the posts were titled with the expression ‘[crying]’…
[I didn’t even show up. Everyone was looking forward to it so much, but you really didn’t even show up at this carnival? [Crying]]
[Finally, when I saw a bunch of producers on stage, but without Lin Yao, I was dumbfounded [crying]]
[You really don’t want to resign, do you? Do you really want to completely eliminate your influence? [crying]]
[It is estimated that Lin Yao will be untied from Lin Mu Studio. I didn’t believe it before, but... [crying]]
This situation quickly spread to other player communities.
In addition, the number of people online for all Linmu Studio's games that night inexplicably dropped by about 10%...
As for why this is the case.
The reason for this can probably be gleaned from the experience of player Li Yu.
After he returned to the hotel from the main venue of the Forest Carnival in silence, he didn't do anything. He just took out his mobile phone and browsed various player forums.
Then go crazy and switch between several famous player forums.
Saw the post.
He wants to learn some truth from the players...
The reason why Lin Yao did not appear at the carnival this year...
certainly.
And most importantly, I want to know if Lin Yao not showing up will become the norm.
The players on the forum are actually similar to him, most of them are just ordinary pessimistic players, but compared to him, they don't just post posts, they also post...
Of course what Li Yu saw were pessimistic remarks.
Then, seeing such comments, Li Yu, who was already panicked, became even more panicked and could only continue to read posts.
It's a direct cycle.
Who cares about playing any games...
Lin.
Lin Yao also fell silent after seeing the real-time comments in the live broadcast room stopped for a few seconds and the players on the scene not leaving for a long time after the closing ceremony.
After returning home.
She sat on the sofa, hugged her knees, and also browsed the forum.
Then, she was directly brainwashed by the '[crying]' expression.
Of course, she also saw the players’ expressions of disappointment.
"..."
Lin Yao pursed her red lips. She was so absorbed that she didn't even notice that her sister was back.
until.
Lin Xi shook her worriedly.
She just came back to her senses.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xi sat down next to her, a little worried.
"It's nothing. I'm just reading the comments from the sandbox players."
Lin Yao put down her phone and smiled softly: "I was fascinated by it."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "That's it..."
Lin Xi nodded and then asked: "I heard about it too, does it matter if you didn't show up?"
"No...forget it, it has something to do with it."
Lin Yao shook her head subconsciously, but when she saw the bright phone screen, she still couldn't tell her that it didn't matter.
But in the end, she made up for it: "But it's not a big problem. I think it will be much better after tonight."
"Hmm...what do you want to eat tonight?"
Lin Xi took a closer look at his sister's expression and did not continue to ask, but changed the question.
But during the break between her words, Lin Yao looked down at the countless posts expressing disappointment on the forum and the crying expressions on each post, and became a little lost.
"Xiao Yao?" Lin Xi smiled helplessly and could only call her again.
"Anything is fine."
Lin Yao sighed and stood up: "Just watch and do it. I have something to do and will be down in a minute."
Say it.
She stepped on her slippers and ran upstairs.
"What's going on?" Lin Xi was stunned, and then shouted.
"It is necessary to do something, but it may not be necessary, but there may be necessary preparations!"
Lin Yao trotted upstairs in her slippers. When she heard Lin Xi's voice, she answered without looking back.
"……ah?"
Lin Xi had a question mark on his head after hearing this.
I think it would be better not to ask...
…
The forest carnival is over.
Last night was a sleepless night for many people.
As soon as Lin Yao came to Lin Mu Studio.
Just found out.
In fact, it's not just the players who are depressed.
The morale of the staff within Lin Mu Studio seems to be quite low...
Although it's not very obvious.
But you can really feel it.
Moreover, the staff looked at Lin Yao obviously more than usual.
They all had expressions of reluctance...
Lin Yao: "..."
She had no choice but to speed up and return to her office first.
After closing the door.
She looked at Mu Wanqing, who had been waiting in the office for a long time, and asked, "Miss Mu, why are all the staff in the studio like this?"
"Yesterday's events began to unravel."
Mu Wanqing replied helplessly, then pulled out her chair and motioned for her to sit.
Lin Yao came to her seat and sat down, then looked at the screen.
The screen is stuck on a web page.
A section of bold font is very conspicuous.
[The Linmu Carnival ended perfectly yesterday, and Lin Yao did not show up. The most talented game producer in the country may have to completely untie himself from the game. ]
"?"
Lin Yao slowly raised a question mark.
Then I clicked on the text and took a look.
The article first introduces in detail the grand occasion of this year’s carnival and the surprises for players.
Then the conversation changed.
He introduced the current deep binding situation between Lin Yao and Lin Mu Studio, and also talked about YouMedia Technology, which is rising like a new star.
then.
gave his own conclusion.
"Linmu Studio and Lin Yao are really tied to each other too deeply. This may be a blessing for an ordinary game company, but for a behemoth like Linmu Studio, it is no longer the case.
When all the spotlight is focused on Lin Yao, it means that all the applause and flowers belong to her, and her every move will also represent the entire company.
This is a very dangerous thing. If you are not careful, the building may collapse, or internal talents may leave on a large scale because they feel that they cannot realize the value, or because Lin Yao does something wrong, it will bring disaster to Linmu Studio.
Come to turmoil.”
“In addition, the rise of YouMei Technology has brought new opportunities to Lin Yao.
To be honest, in terms of upper limit, UMedia Technology is really much higher than Linmu Studio, and it can also create a real economy... No matter what the considerations are, this is a more important business than Linmu Studio.
Although Lin Yao most likely did not break up with Lin Mu Studio because of this, it may be one of the reasons.
In short, no matter what.
The most talented game producer in the country has indeed thought about ‘disappearing’.
Perhaps, not showing up at the carnival this time is a sign, and next..."
This article seems to have been prepared a long time ago...
Lin Yao did not show up yesterday, but the report was released the next day, directly analyzing the reasons for Lin Yao's failure to show up from various aspects.
Then a conclusion that seems very reasonable is given.
And, I admire Lin Yao’s choice very much...
When Mu Wanqing saw that Lin Yao had reached the end of the report, she immediately said, "This report was posted early in the morning. Look at the number of reads."
Lin Yao looked at the reading volume, and then said in disbelief: "Nearly ten million?"
"right."
Mu Wanqing said helplessly: "I just went to the player community to take a look, and now the home page of the forum is full of crying expressions, not a single word, just crying expressions... And this has also caused problems for the staff inside Linmu Studio.
Some influences…”
"..."
Lin Yao opened a new page and then opened a player forum.
Just fell silent.
last night.
In this forum, the title of the post at least has a sentence.
But today, even the words have disappeared.
front page.
All expressions of crying.
The pinned posts all turned into crying emoticons…
Lin Yao: "..."
She originally thought that the players would be fine if they just slept.
But obviously.
Players don't think so.
Not only did it not feel better after one night.
On the contrary, it makes me even more sad...
this day.
The domestic player community has ushered in its darkest moment.
Because the homepage of the player forum, which you can basically recognize by name, must be filled with countless posts with nothing but crying emoticons...
Other players actually had no objections to this... but instead started making crying emoticons.
It’s a wonder…
And this is just the beginning.
Linmu Studio's earliest game, "Fantasy OL".
It's past nine o'clock.
I don't know who took the lead.
The largest regional server, Splendid Mountains and Rivers, and the World Channel suddenly lit up the screen.
"Lin Yao, don't [cry] [cry] [cry]"
The format is probably like this...
In the beginning, only some players were doing it, and it was just doing it in this region.
But soon.
As the news spread.
Other regional servers also followed suit.
Today is a day.
"Fantasy OL" no matter what region the server is, the world channel has become the same...
and.
As the reading count of that article increased.
This kind of screen-swiping behavior spread and soon spread to other games of Linmu Studio.
"Breakout", "Heroes", "DOTA", "World of Warcraft" and even the latest mobile game "Day of Reincarnation"...
Players either change their names or swipe directly on the public screen...
What's even more outrageous is.
Vaporwave.
switch.
Because game accounts on these two platforms do not restrict players from having the same name, countless players have also changed their names.
As for the format, it’s the same as above…
this day.
When some overseas players play a game where their title and other information directly inherit their Vaporwave account.
Just found out.
Many people have the same ID.
It's all "Lin Yao, don't [cry] [cry] [cry]".
This even sparked a wave of discussion on overseas game forums.
Many players thought there was a BUG...
This is still the case overseas.
Not to mention domestically.
The confusing behavior of domestic players quickly attracted the attention of game media people.
but.
Don't wait for them to react.
They found out...
All the more well-known games in China have been affected.
Even if it’s not a game from Linmu Studio.
Some people have played Tianhu’s games...
Because players who play Linmu Studio games may not necessarily play Tianhu games, but players who play Tianhu games must also play Linmu Studio games...
Simply outrageous.
This day can be called an earthquake in the domestic gaming industry...
Countless employees took a breath of cold air.
Just one question.
Why? Isn’t this too exaggerated?
Didn't Lin Yao just... not show up at the carnival?
In fact, many people don't realize this.
Back when Linmu Studio invested in any company, whichever company would be favored by capital, some people called Lin Yao Godfather...
In the investment field, Linmu Studio is just testing the waters, that’s all.
What about the gaming field?
…
That night.
There are problems with the servers of some of Linmu Studio's games and the servers of Vaporwave.
As for the reason...
Very simple.
Because too many players have changed their names...
When Zhong Xiu heard the news, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Then, he hesitated for a while, and finally got up and knocked on the door of Lin Yao's office.
"Lin Yao?"
"What's wrong?"
Lin Yao raised her head and looked at Zhong Xiu who opened the door and came in.
"Do you know about the server crash?" Zhong Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked.
"knew."
Lin Yao sighed: "I'll let Xi Qianyu talk about the role you like. Also...congratulations on saving your hair."
"...I didn't come here for this."
Zhong Xiu was a little embarrassed, and after organizing his words, he said: "Actually, my wife has told me a long time ago that it is better to have a bald head than to have a shaved head. I have long wanted to shave it off, but I just can't get over the hurdle in my heart. How about we do it again?"
Let's make a bet, as long as you show up..."
"Stop it, I won't bet again! I won't make any bets!"
Lin Yao interrupted him directly, then picked up a piece of drawing paper on the table and handed it over: "Give this to Qi Jianhua, and then ask him and Xi Qianyu to come over."
"..."
Zhong Xiu was a little confused. He took a few steps forward and took the drawing paper. After looking down, he asked doubtfully: "Is this...and what is the thing on the drawing paper?"
"This is Plan B."
Lin Yao sighed, and then said helplessly: "As for what this is called...this thing is called a leather sheath."
