The New York Times of the United States made a special report on the game, and the report made a comprehensive report on "Plant", from the production company of the game, to the development process of the game, to the sales of the game, and called "Plant" the game miracle of the East.

This is a remarkable thing, after all, the New York Times has a global circulation, has good authority and credibility around the world, and has a reputation as the "gray lady" for its serious and serious style.

And it actually took the initiative to report on "Plants", which can be said to have pushed "Plants" to the forefront in an instant. And the final evaluation is that there is a serious suspicion of killing. Yes, Plants is a good game, as evidenced by the fact that it sold millions of copies in a single day in North America. It can be said that it is still a bit too much for the oriental game miracle, after all, "Plant" is also taking advantage of Blizzard to some extent, if there is no platform such as Battle.net, if you rely on yourself, the game "Plant" may not be able to have such sales for a month.

But in any case, to be featured in the New York Times is already a matter of pride. After all, Huaxia's image in the Western world has always been not very good, and the media is definitely the biggest culprit. Of course, there must be a black hand behind the media to promote all this, but as a pioneer, this time the Western media can take the initiative to stand up and report on a game, which can be regarded as a historic breakthrough.

In addition to the "New York Times" in the United States, there are also "Daily Mail", "Times", "The Sun" in the United Kingdom, "Selling Reading News" and "Asahi Shimbun" in Neon, "Le Monde" in France and other internationally renowned media have reported on this game.

Why did the newspapers in these countries cover the game? It's not just about following the trend.

Because not long after Zhou Fangyuan finished calling Mike, sales data from other countries were also counted.

In the end, the seemingly simple little game of "Plants", the sales data of a week in other countries are: 1.5 million copies in the United Kingdom, 700,000 copies in France, 1 million copies in Germany, about 1 million copies in other European countries, 1.2 million copies of neon, and other large and small countries, some hundreds of thousands, some hundreds of thousands, some tens of thousands, and some even only one or two thousand.

The final statistical result is that "Plants vs. Zombies" has a global sales data of 7 million copies in the first week, which is still not counting the data of the mainland. The reason why there is such a terrible sales data is, on the one hand, the quality of the game is really good, after all, there is it. And the other reason is that the game is cheap, only five dollars, which is really cheap compared to other big games. And the game also has a network function, which can be played against players.

In addition, at this time, the global game industry is actually very general, and most of the big game companies that are so big that they explode in the future are in their infancy at this time, including Blizzard, although Blizzard in this era has money, it makes more money and spends more, and the company's own deposits are actually not much.

All in all, for a variety of reasons, "Plants" sold nearly 10 million copies worldwide, and the domestic alone brought more than 20 million yuan to distant games. The international market is even more terrifying, the total sales volume of more than 7 million copies is equivalent to 35 million US dollars, of course, this money is taxed, but even so, in the end, there will be at least close to 200 million yuan of soft sister coins to the account of distant games.

Just a small game actually achieved horror sales, which can be said to have shocked game manufacturers all over the world.

And the game is so hot, there are many foreign players, but this game is still from China, and of course the Western media will report it. After all, the media has always been looking for new things, and anyone can leave such a new thing alone.

However, some media said that Huaxia's games have actually "invaded" the domestic market and had an impact on game manufacturers in Western countries, and they even reminded those local game manufacturers to be wary of this game company from Huaxia.

Isn't it a consistent practice of Western countries to deliberately demonize Huaxia? They will distort and distort everything in Huaxia, which used to be at the national level, but now distant games have sprung up and occupied a huge market share abroad overnight, and it is absolutely impossible for these media not to speak.

This is not something that Zhou Fangyuan can control, and he doesn't want to be demonized by the other party, but what he said doesn't count.

Whatever you demonize, Blizzard is a company in the United States, and Blizzard is almost a United States person from CEO to employees, as long as Blizzard itself does not fall, the games produced by distant game companies will continue to enter the United States. As long as the quality of the game is good, those players won't care what country the game is from. This situation has been seen a lot in later generations, the game of sticks, neon anime, don't foreigners also accept it very happily?

There is also the network of Huaxia, which has also begun to have a series of clusters abroad, these things can't be banned alone, and the affairs of the country, many times, have little to do with Lao Baixu, which Zhou Fangyuan has long known.

After staying at home for a week, on the eighth day, Zhou Fangyuan took the train back to the capital.

At the same time as he returned to the capital, foreign reports about "Plant" were also announced through Tengxun's mini network, and then immediately detonated the emotions of domestic players. Many people who were not ready to spend money suddenly felt a sense of pride when they saw that their games were so popular abroad. Many people who were not even completely interested in the game suddenly started trying it after seeing the news.

The result was that Zhou Fangyuan had just arrived in the capital, and before he returned to the dormitory, the third brother's phone suddenly called.

"Fatty, five million......"

"What?"

Zhou Fangyuan sat in the taxi, blinking over the phone, although he understood what the third brother was talking about, he still felt a little incredulous.

"Didn't you pay back the three million yesterday?"

"yes, it's five million today, and it's still going up...... Fatty, the third brother has a little bottom in his heart, if we are like this, will the country ......?"

"Haha, third brother, why worry about this kind of thing? The game review has been passed, our game is recognized by the state department, and since it can be launched, there will be no problems. What's more, even if there are really some minor problems, let's just change it, and the game will never be forced to be taken off the shelves, after all, the fame of this game has now been played, and the country can't ignore it, so you can rest assured. ”

Zhou Fangyuan knew what the third brother was worried about, but he was not worried at all.

In the last life, "Warcraft" was scolded like that, and the result was nothing more than the harmony of some content. A certain dancing game has already become a blatant dating game, and as a result, the relevant state departments have not even taken care of it. It can be said that as long as it is not directly related to religion, sexuality, bloody violence, etc., the state generally does not care.

Of course, the core idea of the game can't be too much of a problem.

But like "Plants vs. Zombies", the core idea is to defend the homeland, which can be said to be a very correct idea. And the animation when the zombie was killed in the original work, Zhou Fangyuan also modified.

It's okay to break an arm or a leg or something.,But the head was knocked off.,It's still changed.,And when the arm was broken, he also modified the bone stubble.,Maybe that's the only thing that can go wrong with this game.。

So he didn't have the slightest worry, but was very happy in his heart.

The first game of the distant game company can be so successful, how much money can be made is secondary, and it can directly establish the status of distant games in China, which is the most important. And the company also has a certain reputation abroad, although it is far from being comparable to those large companies, but at least the name of the distant game has been known by many people abroad. In the future, when the games developed by distant game companies enter the European and American markets, there is no doubt that the resistance will drop a lot.

In short, the launch of "Plant" has brought too many benefits to Zhou Fangyuan, so that the corners of his mouth have been curled in the past few days, and he is in a particularly good mood.

……

Back in the studio, it can be said that it has been a long time.

Duan Xiao and Li Yuechao undoubtedly dragged Zhou Fangyuan to make all kinds of trouble, and asked him to invite guests to dinner, and asked him to invite guests to play on the computer, Zhou Fangyuan agreed to all of them.

Lin Yueya also missed him, and she couldn't hold back the excitement in her heart in the studio, so she wanted to drag him away.

Zhou Fangyuan gave her several glances in a row, which made her quiet a little, but that night, Lin Yueya's combat effectiveness made him feel scared, and when the two of them finally fell asleep, Zhou Fangyuan was tired enough.

On the third day back in the capital, Sun Jing called.

"Hey, big boss, congratulations on the big sale of your game. ”

On the phone, Sun Jing said with a grin.

"Rejoice and rejoice. ”

Zhou Fangyuan said with a smile.

"By the way, the crew has almost prepared, you should also meet with our director and screenwriter, the script is not difficult to write, the problem now is the problem of the actors, this is our first play, I hope we can invite a few big names, but this kind of thing has to be approved by your old man, you see when you have time, come and listen to my plan." ”

Sun Jing's voice is still so good.

Zhou Fangyuan shook his head, "Sister Sun, you have been made fun of me, how old am I, you are scolding me with your mouth open." ”

"Yes, how can I have the guts, Mr. Zhou, you are too sensitive. ”

"Okay, okay, it's me who is sensitive, but can you stop talking like this? Okay, let's get down to business first, I do have some ideas in my heart as an actor, let's talk about it when we meet, but I have to tell you, let's not invite big names, there's no need, in short, you stop this matter for a while, and we'll talk about it in detail after we meet." ”

Game companies have taken the lead in going out first, so other projects should also be launched.
