This star just wants to learn.

"You kid, do great things quietly!"

Tang Zelong patted Pu Tong's shoulder, unable to hide the smile on his face.

He really didn't expect that, in the last two days of the cultural festival, Pu Tong actually had a backup plan and used a game to cause turmoil in the international community again.

No one was interested in "Plants vs. Zombies" in the first few hours after its release, but its sales suddenly exploded and it became the second best-selling game on Steam in just one day.

The number one 3A game has been bought for half a quarter, but the data is only slightly higher than the data of "Plants vs. Zombies" in one day.

It’s the first time in many years that a domestic game has been so popular overseas...

As a result, this incident happened during the cultural festival, which just gave them a boost and allowed Chinese culture to be showcased in a new field.

Although Tang Zelong is old, he never thinks that games are something that will ruin one's life. On the contrary, he thinks that games are definitely worthy of the title of the ninth art!
The first eight major arts are: painting, music, literature, sculpture, dance, drama, architecture and film.

Literature is the art of expressing thoughts and emotions through words and language, and its core is information;

Music expresses emotions and stories through the combination of sounds, and its core is hearing; dance uses body movements to express emotions and stories in space, and its core is movement.

Painting expresses the creator's perspective through visual images on a flat surface, and its core is vision; sculpture displays objects or characters through three-dimensional forms, and its core is three-dimensionality.

Drama combines a variety of elements such as literature, performance, and visual arts to tell a story, with interpretation at its core;
Architecture meets the needs of human habitation and activities through spatial design, while also expressing aesthetic values, with space being the core.

Film is a comprehensive art that integrates multiple elements such as vision, hearing and narrative, with integration as its core.

Among them, literature, music and other art forms with a longer history are usually the externalization of a certain sensory dimension.

The relatively younger theatre, architecture and film are increasingly integrating the previous arts...

Art is developing, and the emergence of every new art is the integration of traditional art products. Games are the ninth art that can integrate these eight arts.

The game creates an absolute space that can integrate the eight arts and create two-way "interactivity". While integrating the previous eight art forms, it also has unique interactivity, which is the most terrifying part of the game.

Although many people talk about games as a product of entertainment, in fact, this industry has become the well-deserved ninth art.

Just like this "Plants vs. Zombies", it is a brand new work of art.

Tang Zelong panted heavily, as if he saw a brand new future through Pu Tong...

This guy can not only make up for their shortcomings in traditional art fields such as music and film, but also open up a brand new artistic path for China.

He suddenly felt a little emotional, thinking that he was getting old. If he were of the same age as Pu Tong, perhaps he could really wait until China achieved absolute dominance in the nine arts under his leadership!

It is said that heroes are made by the times. He met Pu Tong, who was born for the times, but he was already a little behind the times...

"Uncle Tang, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing!" Tang Zelong grinned and patted Pu Tong on the shoulder, "You have to work hard and let me wait until that day."

Pu Tong felt that Director Tang's words today were a bit confusing. He couldn't understand them at all. What was he working hard for? What day was he waiting for? However, the only thing that answered him was Tang Zelong's back.

On the second day, the International Cultural Exchange Expo held by Sakura officially came to an end. Pu Tong and his group packed up early and set off on their journey back home.

"Mom, did you say there will be a welcoming ceremony and celebration banquet after returning home?"

Yu Wanwan came up behind Ji Shutong and asked Pu Tong about the thing that he was most concerned about at the moment.

If after getting off the plane, Pu Tong saw a bunch of media taking photos and cheerleaders welcoming him, he would probably be upset.

He has done too many interviews in the past two days, and he really doesn't want to face the camera now.

I have a disease that makes me want to vomit when facing the camera...

"Ambassadorial level diplomatic relations are the highest level of diplomatic relations. The airport reception must roll out the red carpet to show respect and importance." Ji Shutong glanced at Tang Zelong, who was in charge. "With Director Tang here, there will definitely be a reception ceremony, but whether it will be grand or not remains to be discussed."

Then he looked at Pu Tong again and said with a smile: "But this airport reception ceremony should not be an ordinary ambassador reception. After all, there is a real national hero here."

When Pu Tong heard this, he felt goosebumps all over his body. Little national hero, how could they say that? Even if they dared to call him that, he wouldn't dare to agree.

"As for the celebration banquet..." Ji Shutong frowned, "I have been in this industry for 20 years. I have seen welcoming banquets and farewell banquets, but I have never seen a celebration banquet."

As diplomats, the only thing worth celebrating is that they made a big splash on the international stage, but this situation has not happened for a long time.

It’s not because they are incompetent, but rather that international occasions have been rather dull over the years, with very few opportunities to “celebrate”.

It can only be said that Pu Tong was lucky. He encountered such a big event for the first time as a member of the initial group. As a result, he successfully handled it. Not only did he slap his opponent in the face, but he also enhanced the country's prestige.

With his performance, a celebration banquet is definitely a foregone conclusion, and even a celebration ceremony is likely to take place...

A celebration ceremony is not the same as an airport welcoming ceremony. A public celebration is a true national-level recognition, and the identities of the people presenting the awards are terrifying.

In recent years, it has been a long time since there has been a big figure in the country who had a personal celebration ceremony. The last person who received a national-level honor seemed to be a Nobel Prize winner in biology.

As the protagonist of this cultural festival, Pu Tong naturally cannot be compared with the big names in the academic field, but his contribution is not low.

Those who can represent the country and shine in the field of culture and art are the country's elites. As long as academia and art are positive, there is no distinction between high and low.

"When I won the gold medal on the stage in Vienna, I had a celebration ceremony. I didn't expect you to have one so soon!"

Lin Lan on the side shook his head. He didn't think it was easy for Pu Tong to get it, but he was impressed that Pu Tong had easily achieved the highest achievement in her life at such a young age.

"I almost believe what you said... I'm only seventeen, how could they hold an award ceremony for me? If that were true, I would eat this plane!"
