Chapter 362 Second Life Starry Sky Film and Television Network!
"What's so incredible? Explain it clearly," Zhou Ming asked his assistant, puzzled.
The assistant explained, "Mr. Zhou, didn't you ask me to keep an eye on that interactive movie game from 'Second Generation Stars'? They only started promoting it this afternoon, and it's already trending on Douyin and Weibo. It's incredibly popular online right now, and they're saying it'll be available for sale tomorrow."
"What?" Zhou Ming was somewhat surprised when he heard the news.
He works in the gaming industry himself, so he naturally knows the rules of game promotion. Games are usually promoted in advance. How can you promote a game today and have it released for sale tomorrow?
But the assistant also mentioned that the game had already topped the trending charts on Douyin and Weibo, something that game developers like them seem unable to achieve.
Putting aside the cost, the key issue is the short timeframe.
Chen Jincheng's reputation is truly well-deserved.
However, out of curiosity, he took out his phone to check the relevant information online, and was stunned when he saw the image of Lei Zong playing games in front of the computer in the slice account.
Shocking! What game could possibly make the legendary Lei Jun so addicted?
This title made him want to complain even more.
Does Mr. Lei really need to work this hard?
Didn't I simply not have a good opinion of the game and therefore refuse to buy the mobile game adaptation rights?
However, with Lei Jun's cooperation in promotion, it's no wonder the game is so popular.
He was curious to see how well the game would sell. Lei Jun had gone to such lengths to promote it; if it still didn't have good sales figures, then interactive video games would be doomed in China.
This did make him pay attention to the game.
After watching a few videos, he realized that something was wrong.
"Holy crap, Chen Jincheng has finally decided to release this game."
"I was immediately drawn in by that gameplay demo livestream, and after waiting so long, it's finally released."
"There's only one word: it will be available for sale tomorrow. Okay, it will be available tomorrow. Then it's fine."
"All I can say is that I've prepared the money. If I can't be Chen Jincheng in real life, can't I be him in the game?"
"..."
While the comments clearly show that the game is heavily influenced by Chen Jincheng's fame, they also reveal a strong desire to purchase it.
Those in the gaming industry naturally know that getting players to pay and stimulating their desire to buy is the most important thing.
Most games can't generate this kind of purchasing desire right now.
This is very scary.
Zhou Ming felt even more strongly about these concerns. Perhaps he had made a mistake based on past experience this time and shouldn't have rejected President Lei so decisively.
I got home after get off work.
He noticed that Douyin's discussion about the game "Oh no, I'm surrounded by beauties" was getting increasingly heated, even pushing it to the top of the trending topics list.
This is very scary.
For any other game, achieving this level of popularity would be considered a resounding success.
He stayed up very late before going to sleep. The next day, after washing up, he went to the company and instructed his assistant: "Today, keep a close eye on the game 'It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties.' Notify me as soon as the game is released."
Upon hearing this, the assistant looked at Zhou Ming with a strange expression, prompting him to ask in confusion, "What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
The assistant immediately explained, "This game went on sale last night."
"Wasn't it supposed to be today?" Zhou Ming was taken aback.
The assistant nodded and said, "It's today. There's a lot of demand online, so we changed it to midnight today."
"So casual?" Zhou Ming was utterly astonished.
No legitimate game company does this. It's like a makeshift operation.
Considering Second Star, especially as an MCN influencer company, their game development seems to be a makeshift operation.
Forget it, it's not important.
Zhou Ming hurriedly sat down at his office computer and began checking the sales data for "Damn it, I'm surrounded by beauties".
He was truly stunned when he saw the sales figures.
1.08 million.
That's right.
The game went on sale at midnight last night and has already generated 1.08 million in sales.
Good heavens, this is a ghost.
It's only been a short time, and the key point is that GamerSky is predicting that this game will exceed 10 billion in sales.
But the game only cost 2000 million.
This piqued his curiosity about the game, so he paid to download it.
At the beginning, the protagonist wakes up in a room, and then explores the room. There is no operation involved at all; you have to choose whether to operate or not to check things.
Seriously, even an idiot could play this kind of game.
But when the male protagonist picked up a super sexy pair of lace panties from the bed, he suddenly realized that this game was not so simple.
When a very beautiful girl suddenly appears wearing a sexy white shirt, without any pants on, and sees the male protagonist holding her sexy panties, it seems even more complicated than it appears.
The key point is that this game is played from a first-person perspective, and when faced with this suddenly appearing beautiful woman, he actually felt a sense of guilt, like he had done something wrong.
This……
Interesting!
Zhou Ming immediately started playing with great interest. Although he was a tech geek, he was also a big boss, and quite a few girls would come knocking on his door. But while playing this game and seeing all the pretty girls appearing, he even felt a little envious of the male protagonist.
He seemed to immediately grasp the core value of the game, which was its emotional value.
The emotional value provided by one beautiful girl after another.
These emotional values are something ordinary people could never experience, and girls of that caliber often wouldn't even give ordinary people a second glance. Yet, they experienced all of these emotional values firsthand.
Who can't afford to pay those tens of dollars?
So, that's awesome.
In a short period of time, Zhou Ming didn't even realize that his perception of the game had undergone a complete 360-degree change. Not only Zhou Ming, but many other people online had already purchased the game by this time.
Especially Chen Jincheng's die-hard fans.
Guo Feng did just that; he bought the game early in the morning, downloaded it, and started playing.
He had paid attention to the game when Cheng first promoted it in a video, and thought it looked very interesting, so naturally he wanted to try it out now.
In "Chen Jincheng Simulator," he too will experience being a Chen Jincheng player in the game.
Although he is a rich second-generation and has many girls around him, Cheng's life is incomparable to his. If you put yourself in Cheng's shoes, who could resist?
He even stood up a girl to play games. When she asked what time he would arrive, he replied, "I'm not meeting up today. I'm playing Chen Jincheng."
The girl typed a string of question marks and a bewildered emoji.
Guo Feng ignored him completely and continued to criticize Chen Jincheng.
If even rich kids are so obsessed with being Chen Jincheng, then ordinary people or single people are even more engrossed.
Those Cheng girls were all so delicate and charming that they couldn't resist them.
Many people have even been unable to resist posting online:
"I experienced a glimpse of Chen Jincheng's happiness just by playing a game; I can't imagine how happy he must be."
"When we're playing a game, the screen goes black at a crucial moment and the game ends, but Chen Jincheng spent half an hour studying it in detail."
I feel this game is missing a lot of story scenes, and the worst part is that even when the screen goes black, it still gives me a few "ah ah" and "uh-huh" sounds to make me fantasize!
"..."
Each post proves just how popular this game is.
Over the course of a day, many fast-paced players have already completed the main storyline, including the good and bad parts, but they still can't trigger the unread perfect storylines.
To trigger the perfect storyline, you'll need to purchase the DLC and bundles to experience the new female character's storyline before you can finally complete the perfect storyline.
Then, these people planned to buy the DLC and bundles immediately.
Immediately afterwards, they felt like the sky had fallen.
This game is out, but it only has the main storyline and no DLC or bundles are being sold.
Despite the availability of DLC and bundle purchase options, a message pops up saying "Please wait for notification regarding related purchases!"
Holy crap, isn't this just messing with people and testing their mentality?
"666, Cheng, you don't consider me a brother anymore, you're playing me for a fool here."
"Cheng, if we're no longer brothers, can't you just be more decisive?"
"Chen Jincheng, are you using scarcity marketing? I was just a neutral observer, but now I'm a hater unless you release DLC and bundles right away."
"Chen Jincheng, be smart, or I'll unfollow you!"
"..."
Anyway, once their mentality collapsed, a whole group of people started leaving messages on Chan Kam-ching's Douyin account.
A day passed, and Zhou Ming had played most of the game.
Honestly, putting aside Chen Jincheng, any ordinary person could make this game popular, as long as they find the right girls. It just wouldn't be this popular.
The next day, when Zhou Ming checked on the game again, its sales had already exceeded 2.5 million. The golden sales period for games is usually one week, and given the current situation, it would be no problem for this game to exceed 10 billion in sales.
In other words, Chen Jincheng simply gathered some female internet celebrities from his company and created this game, seemingly without spending much time on it, and ultimately reaped over 10 billion yuan for nothing.
This……
Thinking about it, he hurriedly took out his phone and dialed the number of that General Manager Lei.
Lei Xiaojun was currently reviewing sales data with Chen Jincheng in the Second Star Games department. He knew that another part of President Chen's financing project had been completed.
With the sales profits from "Oh No, I'm Surrounded by Beauties", even if only 20% is left for game development, it will be enough to sustain the operation of the game department and develop new games.
He couldn't help but say, "Mr. Chen, we still need to have a mobile game plan!"
That's naturally because of rice.
Chen Jincheng said with a smile, "President Lei, don't worry, 'Sheep' is a mobile game, as are those games like mowing grass and chopping trees... they are all mobile games."
"Hmm!" Lei Xiaojun nodded. Just then, his phone rang. He smiled when he saw the number: "It's Zhou Ming from Happy Elements. This guy must have seen the game's sales data."
He answered with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, why are you calling me?"
Zhou Ming's awkward voice came through: "President Lei, I'd like to talk to you about the game 'Second Generation Stars'."
Lei Xiaojun joked, "President Zhou, that game has no future. Didn't you say you weren't interested?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ming jumped up without dwelling on it and said, "President Lei, I misjudged you this time. As soon as I get the copyright, I'll start the mobile game adaptation project immediately."
Lei Xiaojun said with a smile, "I'll send you the phone number of Chu Hong, the person in charge of Second Star, you can add her and chat with her yourself."
“Okay, Mr. Lei,” Zhou Ming replied immediately.
After hanging up the phone, Lei Xiaojun instructed Sister Hong: "Mr. Zhou from Leyuan will contact you later. Don't be shy about the copyright fee; ask him for more. He's made a fortune from that match-3 game."
He was well aware of this, since they, the rice phone brand, needed to charge channel fees.
“Okay, Mr. Lei!” Sister Hong nodded.
Online, with the popularity of "I'm Doomed, I'm Surrounded by Beauties", more and more people have completed the main storyline, only to find that they are stuck. The subsequent perfect storyline requires DLC and bundles. Moreover, there is a new Cheng Girl storyline and more interactive gameplay.
It's a few dozen yuan, which everyone can afford.
But when everyone wanted to buy it, they found they didn't know where to buy it. Were they playing a game, or was Chen Jincheng playing them?
Suddenly, more and more people joined in denouncing Chan Kam-ching.
At this time, Ershi Xingchen finally announced the DLC and bundle for "It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties": "Given the love of our game 'It's Over, I'm Surrounded by Beauties' and the enthusiasm of our players for purchasing the DLC and bundle, as well as their protests against our boss, our boss has decided to back down and will release the DLC and bundle for the game tomorrow. The purchase address is: Ershi Xingchen Film and Television Network."
The announcement stunned everyone.
What the heck is the Second Star Video Network?
They'd heard of Tencent Video, iQiyi, and Uku Video; when did Ershixingchen start its own video website?
Could it be the original LeTV Video website?
Does Second Generation Star intend to go head-to-head with Tencent, iQiyi, and Uku?
