"Let the production line adjust accordingly, maybe slightly reduce the production capacity of the more popular ones."
Only by understanding the supply and demand curve can the collectible value of this item be maintained.
The more they are in this situation, the more they need to remain calm.
Setting the document aside, Lin Lixin's gaze fell on something else on the table, his expression complex.
That was a letter of invitation.
The letter itself is made of neat white cardstock, with fine gold foil lines deliberately designed along the edges.
The opening was sealed with wax and marked with a "29".
The letter has a picture of a phonograph in the upper left corner.
Upon opening the wax seal, the inner pages automatically and slightly pop up.
The main card is written in the same neat font:
The Recording Academy cordially invites you.
[Attended the 29th Grammy Awards Ceremony]
[for Lin Lixin]
Below that is basic information about the event: red carpet time, seat numbers, and banquet hall.

""
Lin Lixin suddenly felt a headache.
Oh no, I think I've become the world's first game developer to be nominated for a Grammy.
It's clear that the "Civilization" album from August of last year really broke through the competition.
The Grammy Awards are one of the highest honors in the music industry.
He silently closed the letter again.
Then—he picked up another letter that looked exactly the same.
This letter was sent to NMB, and the soundtrack album from Castlevania is obviously also included.
In addition, the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, which performed the show, was also nominated for Best Orchestral Performance.
In this situation, no one in the entire company could keep their composure.
What's the big deal?
Although they didn't win the award in the end, the sheer number of nominations they received was enough to ensure that GAMENOVA's name would be etched in history.
A game company won the Grammy Award with just two titles.
"Our knowledge is all over the place —"
2 month 24 day.
Kojiro Yuzo and Yamane Michiru, representing NMB, boarded a flight to Los Angeles.
Meanwhile, representatives from the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and the St. Mark's Boys' Choir from Europe also traveled to Los Angeles, arranged by Ubisoft.
The car slowly stopped in front of the red carpet in front of the hall.
The car door was opened by the greeter.
Before Lin Lixin could even get out of the car, countless cameras and microphones were already pointing at him.
The presence of security personnel and dividing lines seemed as fragile as paper.
Fortunately, they managed to control themselves and didn't actually cross the line.
But security can't stop the flash photography.
-
Lin Lixin's feet landed on the red carpet, above which was a sharp suit.
"Click, click"
The frenzied flashes of light turned the scene into a blinding white blur.
This is truly the first time I've seen a game developer nominated for a music award.
The car following Lin Lixin was driven by Koji Yuzo and Yamane Michiru, who were representing NMB.
Kogoro and Yamane are both relatively new to the industry, so they naturally lack the composure and experience that Lin Lixin possesses.
Unlike his mood of coming to join in the fun, the two of them felt like they were sitting on pins and needles in their seats, and Lin Lixin, who was sitting right next to them, could feel waves of trembling.
Lin Lixin smiled slightly and patted Gu Gu on the shoulder.
"What are you afraid of? How can someone who plays rock music not have this much confidence? That's so un-rock-and-roll spirit."
"—The scale is a bit too large."
Gu Du laughed awkwardly, which helped him calm down a bit.
Lin Lixin quickly glanced at the program list and found his own name.
Nominated for Classic Producer of the Year.
He didn't care much about the nomination. To be honest, there were quite a few strong contenders this year, and getting a nomination was actually beyond his expectations.
After all, he wasn't a formally trained musician; he only managed to reproduce the song "Flying Dream" from his memory thanks to the music attributes he gained from the system's points.
I came here genuinely just to have fun.
"Oh, by the way, have you found any suitable new talent lately?"
He was more concerned about the operation of NMB.
He had high hopes for this music team that belonged directly to GAMENOVA.
"Ah, yes, President Hayashi. We've found a composer named Kinuyo Yamashita; her talent is truly astonishing."
Michiru Yamane spoke up, after all, she had just happened to discover this newcomer, "She tried to compose a different track for Castlevania, and it was absolutely amazing."
Thinking back to that incredibly stunning piece that perfectly blended gothic and electronic elements, Michiru Yamane still finds it unforgettable.
The other party's understanding of creation is in no way inferior to mine.
"Yes, besides her, we also found Koji Kondo through recruitment. His compositions are excellent for both piano and bass parts."
"Bass?"
A classic Ubisoft game IP suddenly flashed through Lin Lixin's mind.
But before he could say anything more, the stage lights suddenly dimmed with a "click".
Once the spotlight shone back on the stage, the host took the envelope and walked to the microphone.
"Classic Producer Category —"
He raised his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. "There seems to be an unexpected new face among this year's nominees."
He cleared his throat before looking down at the envelope.
"The winner of this year's Grammy Award for Producer of the Year in the Classical category is [name omitted]."
"Click"
A spotlight fell on Lin Lixin's forehead as he was still talking to the two ancient figures.
"Lin Lixin!"
"?"
Even Lin Lixin himself was stunned for a moment at this moment.
As a game company, the first top-tier, world-class award we received was actually a music award.
He exchanged a glance with Gu Du, shrugged, and then got up and walked towards the stage.
The song "Flying Dream" played from the speakers.
Only then did the attendees snap out of their daze and stand up to offer their applause.
Lin Li-hsin took the phonograph-shaped trophy handed to him by the host before moving closer to the microphone.
"Ahem—this is quite an unexpected surprise."
"It happened so suddenly, I didn't have time to prepare."
"Hmm... how about this?"
He paused, his gaze sweeping across the venue before turning to the cameras pointed at him.
"GAMENOVA will develop a brand new arcade game for all music lovers."
After the party ended, Lin Lixin did not attend the subsequent banquet, but instead left Gu Di and the other person there to deal with the conversations of other people.
Under the moonlight, he went straight to Northern California and returned to GAMENOVA headquarters.
Gerrard and the others had already left for the day.
Apart from the hired security personnel, Carmack was the only person left in the company, lying on the sofa with his eyes closed in meditation.
Before Lin Lixin could even get close, Carmack's muttering voice could already be heard.
"GLSL Shading Language is designed for graphics card programming — wow — it offloads all the complex vertex calculations to the graphics card, avoiding redundant calculations — wow —"
"??"
When Lin Lixin walked up to him, he realized that Carmack was talking in his sleep.
