Build a gaming empire from scratch

Chapter 809 Hit the No. [-] sales in history?

The whole film is only 48 seconds in total, which is less than 1 minute.

It's just that the confrontation between several masters was too fierce. Except for the rainy night scene that brewed the atmosphere at the beginning, there was fierce fighting almost every second after that.

The sound of ping-pong-pong weapons clashing non-stop, the siege of men in black, the resistance of the besieged couple, the knights fighting one against four... the pace is too fast.

In the eyes of players, the movie is played at a fast-forward speed almost every second, making it dizzying.

But the knight seized the fleeting opportunity, exchanged injuries for his life, and let his wife successfully break through. Then, when everyone thought he was going to grab the sword and fight back, he was attacked by the son-mother sword and fell into a desperate situation instantly.

From despair to hope, from heaven to hell.

Everything happened in just a few seconds, which made people so caught off guard.

After the video ended, the players were still in a daze for a long time, and the sound of drums at the end of the film seemed to be echoing in their ears.

But after recovering, all of them got carried away with excitement——

"Finally saw it! The battle between knights!"

"So fast! So fierce! So handsome!"

"It's too fast and I didn't see clearly, wait until I read it three times!"

……

The combat system of "Chang'an" is one of the contents that players are most looking forward to and eager to see, but it is also the content that Yunmeng has released the least information so far.

Everyone knows that Xu Chun, who can cut bullets in the virtual world and is also a master of swordsmanship in reality, was recruited into Yunmeng by Lin You a long time ago, and then traveled all over the country, recruiting experts from all walks of life to join Yunmeng. Many of them are young masters who have won rankings in martial arts championships and have a certain reputation.

With such masters joining in and the top technical team in the industry, the cold weapon combat system jointly produced by them will definitely not disappoint!
But before I saw it, I was unavoidably apprehensive, especially Yunmeng's refusal to release relevant information was even more worrying.

But now, as soon as the movie "Night Rain" was released, most of the players' uneasiness disappeared immediately!

At the same time, martial arts fans collectively climaxed!

Yunmeng's remaining 420 million units of [Mirage 2.0] in stock were sold out in one go, and the stock was completely emptied.

How many martial arts fans does Daxia have?

How many martial arts fans are there in the surrounding countries of Great Xia, East Asia and Southeast Asia?

no one knows.

But now, this film seems to have poked the nest of martial arts fans and made them all come out!
Even many middle-aged and elderly users who log in to the virtual world just to play cards and never do other things have been leveraged for the first time, and finally there is a trend of changing from "users" to "players".

The sensation caused by this film was not limited to the East Asian cultural area, but also aroused intense discussions in Europe and America.

Not only the European and American players in the Yunmeng system, but many passers-by outside the Yunmeng system also exclaimed and asked, "What new movie is this about to be released?"

After being popularized by players and knowing that this is actually a game, many people immediately rushed to online and offline stores, wanting to buy Mirage consoles.

But whether you can buy it depends on your luck.

Yunmeng is still in a period of rapid expansion in many countries in Europe and the United States—especially in the Americas, and the consoles will be sold out quickly as soon as they arrive.

It is not an easy task to buy a host on a temporary basis.

*
Two hours later, the upsurge of discussion caused by the short film not only did not subside, but intensified.

Players have already petitioned on the Internet, hoping that Yunmeng will invest in the production of a real martial arts movie, and it will be shot in the virtual Chang'an. It is best to have Lin Youlai as the producer and An Rongyi as the heroine.

This outrageous idea received more than 30 likes in just two hours.

In addition, the media and players are still discussing: If Yunmeng uses this combat short film called "Night Rain" as a trailer instead of using the previous city sightseeing film, will the effect be better?
And Shen Ping has already started the second step of the publicity plan - opening the pre-sale.

Lin You was originally not in favor of the game pre-sale system. He always felt that this kind of behavior was suspected of passing on risks and cutting players' leeks.

However, Shen Ping also believes that the game pre-sale itself is a good means of publicity, and at the same time can test the effect of the publicity to a large extent. As for Lin You's worries, it can be avoided through corresponding measures.

In the end, Shen Ping successfully persuaded Lin You.

So-

The pre-sale of "Chang'an" is officially open!
Still Yunmeng's standard masterpiece price: 500 yuan.

Neither the players nor the media are surprised by this, and everyone has even become accustomed to judging the status of new games in Yunmeng based on the selling price——

If the game only sells for two or three hundred yuan, or the main body is free, and you make money through monthly cards and in-app purchases, then no matter how good the game is and how popular it is outside, it is likely to be a godson inside Yunmeng.

But if it sells for 500 yuan, it must be a real son!A proper masterpiece, you can enter it without thinking!

As for the price is not a bit expensive...

The points given by Yunmeng [Rehabilitation Teacher Project], the obviously inflated cash transaction of "Pokemon", the year-end bonus at the end of the year, the new year's money after a while... are all solutions.

However, if this is the only way, it will not be able to achieve the [Overlord Screen] effect that Shen Ping wants.

Therefore, there are two important rules for this pre-sale——

First: Within three days after the game is released, players who are not satisfied can refund unconditionally!
Second: 5% of the pre-sale proceeds and 3% of the proceeds after the official sale will all be donated to the [Ancient Building Records and Preservation Foundation] for the protection of ancient buildings in Daxia. There is no upper limit. The whole process is open.
-
Players who were planning to pre-order see these two rules, let go of all worries, and decisively place an order and pay.

In just 10 minutes, the number of pre-ordered players exceeded one million, and on that night, it exceeded 350 million.

The next morning, it broke through 500 million again!
Growth has slowed since then, but overall the pace is still respectable.

The game media once again had a collective climax!

——Not only because of the astonishing pre-sale sales of "Chang'an", but also because Yunmeng announced that it will donate part of the game revenue "in proportion", and this amount will be completely open and transparent.

what does this mean?
It means that for the first time, everyone can confirm the final sales volume of a certain model of Yunmeng!
Before that, although Yunmeng also released congratulatory pictures of game sales, they never sent them to the end.

"League of Assassins" only released congratulatory pictures that reached 2000 million sales.

"John Wick" had a little more, but it was only released to 2500 million.

Anyone with a discerning eye knows that the sales of these games must be far more than this figure, but Yunmeng does not disclose it to the public, and no one can do anything about it.

But this time is different!

This time, as long as you see the total amount Yunmeng donated to the foundation, and then do a simple division, you can get the real sales volume of "Chang'an".

Both the media and players are very curious about this result.

Because everyone really wants to know: Has Yunmeng's game sales reached the top of the world in a full sense?

To put it more clearly: it is not limited to the list of serious masterpieces, nor is it the number one in terms of total revenue calculated by multiplying sales by price, but it is upright to beat the 1 million of the well-known little butter "Rock n Sex" in terms of sales. Million sales volume, impeccably ranked first in the world!

This may not be important to Lin You and Yunmeng, but it is very important to the media and players!
