And the number of views for that video was climbing at an incredibly alarming rate.
Because when miHoYo issues announcements, people usually subconsciously ignore external accounts...
This has led many foreign fans to bypass internet restrictions to watch the videos.
Moreover, this news about miHoYo's new game naturally aroused endless curiosity, and its spread was incredibly rapid.
Meanwhile, those who want to listen to the background music have to keep the video running...
Therefore, the video's viewership growth rate of 933 is truly terrifying, leaving others far behind...
This phenomenon has made other game developers extremely envious.
That wretched miHoYo! They don't even need to promote a new game... just a game clip is enough to drive countless players into a frenzy, making them promote miHoYo themselves.
This will save a lot of money on marketing and promotion!
Unfortunately, other manufacturers simply cannot replicate this phenomenon.
One reason is miHoYo's current popularity.
Secondly... naturally, those big companies don't dare to gamble and don't dare to spend a lot of money to seriously polish a game.
The quality of Star Iron's games is visible to the naked eye...
Who would have thought... that a turn-based online game could be made so exciting, so... captivating by miHoYo...
……
While netizens were discussing this turn-based game and the three pieces of music in the video, an official media outlet from China once again spoke out!
This time, aside from a little bit of science information, the rest of the statement... was yet another round of praise for miHoYo!!
You know, this official media outlet just praised MiHoYo a few days ago!
What's wrong? Is miHoYo some kind of darling of the Chinese state media?
Immediately, countless people became curious and clicked on the news released by the official media.
I'd like to see just how much praise you can come up with for a game promotional video!
.......
Chapter 553 Shock! That wasn't "chanting scriptures," but a Dong ethnic group's grand song?!
Just a few days later, miHoYo was praised by official media again, which not only made countless game developers curious, but also made them somewhat unconvinced.
Admittedly, "The Goddess Splits the Temple" has indeed caused a great stir in the world of traditional Chinese opera overseas, not only achieving the goal of popularizing traditional Chinese culture, but also going global.
But you can't start praising Mihoyo and Tracy McGregor at the slightest sign of trouble!
I'd like to see what tricks you can pull off with a turn-based game this time.
Similarly, countless netizens clicked on the official media report with great curiosity.

[Clearly, this is yet another stunning piece of music – "Cicada's Song" (Click to go to NetEase Music)]
[Just today, miHoYo released another bombshell announcement, sparking widespread discussion among netizens.]
Among them, the three songs in the video are the most hotly debated, and the vocal parts have been jokingly referred to by netizens as "chanting scriptures."
Most people simply find it "pleasant to listen to," but a minority might experience a strange sense of familiarity.
[Actually, this is not the so-called "chanting of scriptures," but rather a folk song melody of a minority group in China—the Dong ethnic group's Grand Song.]
The traditional music popular in the Dong ethnic minority areas of southeastern Guizhou Province, such as Liping County, Congjiang County, and Rongjiang County, is one of China's national intangible cultural heritages and a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage.

The first two pieces, "Cicada's Song," blend classical instruments from various parts of China with the low, melodious chanting of the Dong ethnic group's grand song from Ningzhou, creating a sense of tension as if one is in a gloomy, misty, and dangerous environment, with the outcome uncertain and unpredictable.
[It also meticulously crafts the eerie, unpredictable, and sinister aura of Huanlong, making the reader hold their breath in disbelief.]
[Until the third song...]
The melody, gradually building to a climax, possessed an epic grandeur akin to Mount Tai pressing down, truly stunning. It unfolded like a scroll painting depicting a united front, where clouds obscure the sky and the sun shines brightly, turning the tide and vividly highlighting the heroic spirit of "Immortal Boat" in its quest to punish evil.
This inevitably brings to mind the great strategies and ambitions of our Chinese ancestors, such as Emperor Wu of Han and Emperor Qin Shi Huang.
Those who offend China, no matter how far away, will be punished!
……
All these fancy embellishments clearly demonstrate the official's favoritism towards miHoYo and these three songs.
Not only did it explain that the so-called "chanting" was a Chinese intangible cultural heritage, but the final, inspiring speech also got netizens excited and exclaimed how awesome it was.
Even when Liyue first appeared, it never enjoyed such glory...
It's not that Liyue is bad.
Rather... at that time, miHoYo was just beginning to show its potential.
It was from that time that miHoYo began to catch the eye of the official authorities.
Following the Genshin Impact Lunar New Year event and the "Dragon Kingdom Style Music" that appeared after the concert, and then the "Goddess's Cleave" event a few days ago...
Mihoyo has finally received official recognition, which acknowledges and demonstrates Mihoyo's contribution to the popularization and revival of Chinese culture.
This explains why, as soon as "The Cicada's Song" was released, the official Weibo account came out to praise it.
After the praise, the focus was shifted to Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of Han under the name of "Fairy Boat," and a passionate speech was used to arouse the national pride of the vast number of Chinese netizens.
This is exactly how official media should behave.
The comments below this post were mostly devoid of any memes or references.
The silly netizens are no longer silly; they are full of righteousness.
The comments below are almost all praising the noble spirit and refined character that the Chinese nation has inherited for 5000 years.
At this moment, the entire internet seems to be filled with a pure "red" atmosphere.
That's the red of the Dragon Kingdom!
This scene left other game developers speechless.
Even ordinary staff members were stirred up by the words of the official media.
Naturally, they were completely impressed by miHoYo's actions this time.
It’s okay not to accept it.
After all, miHoYo can even turn a traditional folk song from a minority group into a high-energy, exciting tune...
Who could do that?
In the end, even the top executives at NetEase and Tencent could only sigh.
That's something you can't learn at all.
People from big companies like Tencent and hog farms were completely speechless at this moment.
Previously, they could comfort themselves by thinking that after so many years of being rooted in the Chinese gaming industry, they still had a chance to overshadow miHoYo again.
But... without realizing it, miHoYo has become the darling of all the official Weibo accounts...
It was even hailed as a "benchmark for cultural revival"...
There's no going back now.
They only hope that in the future, the three major game companies will be Xiaomi, Qihoo 360, and Zhuhai.
Instead of [miHoYo and other game companies].
……
Inside the MiHoYo studio.
The day after Mo Li posted the video.
After the girls got up and ate breakfast, while browsing information online, they finally saw the heated discussion online.
They had actually anticipated this level of discussion.
It's a new game after all.
To their surprise, they were praised by so many official media outlets again.
"Boss, boss, ladies, look!"
Kiana was the first to discover this information.
Upon seeing it, he immediately grabbed his phone and headed to the recording studio.
"What's wrong, Kiana?"
At this moment, the girls, including Mo Li, were all gathered in the recording studio.
Because "Honkai Impact 3rd: Star Railway" also needed to be recorded, Mo Li and the girls set up a third recording studio.
"Where's the boss?" Kiana asked.
Durandal pointed inside: "He (Nohao) is instructing Bronya and the others on how to do the voice acting for 'Star Railroad'."
