With the blessing of the official identity, the number of downloads of "The Martian" was like a hanging, and it quickly jumped from the third place on the best-selling list to the top, and officially won the first place in China in less than a few hours!

No. 1 on the paid download list and best-selling list in China, "The Martian" continues to conquer the city in the midst of everyone's jaw-dropping gaze, showing its extraordinary receptivity, and this text adventure game is vaguely in the trend of national mobile games. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

With the passage of time, it seems that the duration of anything that is popular in China is getting shorter and shorter, and the Internet can be said to be an accelerator, which accelerates the development of events and topics, and can make a game ferment to the peak in a short period of time, and the corresponding result is to make it die faster.

In the previous PC game era, a World of Warcraft could become a global household name and maintain a topic for several years. But now that games, especially mobile games, are being updated faster and faster, countless innovative mobile games are probably just a relatively fun game in the minds of players at that time, and it is difficult to leave a deep memory and influence.

Perhaps everyone recalls mobile games, and the games that have a deep impression of smartphones are still stuck in "Fruit Ninja", "Fishing Master", "Angry Birds", "Plants vs. Zombies", "Defend the Radish", "Temple Run" and the like, and it is almost difficult to have a deep memory of mobile games in recent years.

Due to the different channel providers, the more popular mobile phones, the more subdivisions of mobile games, and the smaller the mainstream influence, it is very difficult to reproduce the glory of hundreds of millions of mobile game downloads!

But "The Martian" has made people see this hope, Apple mobile phones, Android mobile phones omni-channel killing, almost every mobile phone channel is vigorously promoting this game, the number of downloads is growing by leaps and bounds, it is already rushing towards five million downloads!

This is only the performance of China, thanks to Apple's recommendation abroad, many people have also started to play the game, they are not isolated individuals in society, intentionally or unintentionally affecting the rest of the people around them.

If you have an Apple mobile phone, you can download it directly from the store, and if you use an Android phone, you need to manually search for this name, Facebook, Twitter, and ins The discussion about "The Martian" is gradually increasing, and this word, which has been silent for more than half a year, has once again appeared in front of netizens all over the world!

Words such as "Is The Martian fun?", "The Martian Raiders", "Communication Martian", "The Martian Decryption" and so on frequently appear on the Gu Song search, and of course, the number of discussions on Twitter has reached millions of times.

Of course, the staff of Google Play, the largest Android market abroad, are not idle, and they have found through big data that there is a steady stream of users all over the world searching for the game "The Martian", and even the download list has begun to increase rapidly.

From dozens of people away, move it up little by little, and explode those mobile games that spend a lot of money to promote!

"Edward, you see that the search volume and download volume of this game are extremely abnormal, you investigate whether their game company is deliberately doing the operation. None of the game developers have heard of it, and it's a game that has just been released, so it shouldn't be so popular. An elite man in a white shirt and tie spoke to the staff outside.

In the office, Edward, the staff member in charge of monitoring the data, immediately analyzed the data of "The Martian", and then combined with the whole network and concluded, "Sir, this should be its own hot spot, because the novel of the same name has brought a lot of attention, and the number of downloads reached more than 200,000 on the first day of release, and then the reputation spread and rose steadily." The latest large-scale surge is due to the promotion of the Apple Store in the global market, it has reached the top of the Apple Store in 24 countries, another 17 countries are in second place, and almost all countries are in the top 10 in the download list, it has enough potential to tap!"

Mark took a deep breath, and he immediately made a judgment and said: "Then you put it on the latest game first, and then arrange for someone to evaluate it immediately, and if the quality is excellent, it will be arranged on the homepage of our Google Play Store, so as to ensure that users in every country can see this recommendation when they enter the store." ”

"Yes sir, I'll do it right away!"

This kind of game download needs to be paid, and Apple and Google as the channel side have to get 30% of the money paid by the player, and Xingyue Games can get 70% as the developer.

Arranging this kind of referral is actually helping these platforms to make money, and the higher the number of downloads of The Martian, the more profitable they are!

Therefore, in North America, Europe, Southeast Asia, East Asia, Australia, West Asia and other places, these two major channel providers have coincidentally started to promote "The Martian", and the game that can make money is a good game.

The people of Star Leap Games probably never dreamed that this text adventure game that they spent half a year making would have such a fantastic situation, and it continued to sell well around the world, selling more than four million copies in North America alone, and the number of downloads in European countries was hot, and these places used currencies such as dollars, euros or pounds, and they made a lot of money after converting.

It seems that it took less than five days for tens of millions of sales worldwide, and even Lin Han, the original author, was stunned, did he inadvertently create a national-level mobile game?

Of course, this is still early, and the total sales volume that does not exceed 100 million is not considered national, especially China's smartphone users account for about half of the total population, and 10 million in the world seems insignificant.

This is only less than a week's data, and the current sales volume is still surging, and the sales data sent by Xingyue Company is rising almost every day, and it is an increase of millions and millions.

Breaking 10 million in five days, 20 million in eight days, and 30 million in 15 days, the myth continues!

The whole world is crazy for Li Yunfan and "The Martian"!

……

"I feel like this is a bit unreal, did we sell the adaptation rights of our mobile game too cheaply in the first place?"

Chen Jiaxuan looked at the sales data of backgammon here, and felt some regrets and regrets in her heart, she was able to sell tens of millions of mobile games around the world, and the sales alone exceeded hundreds of millions of yuan, and she only sold seven figures.

Lin Han didn't think so, at that time, Xingyue Games Company almost showed all its sincerity in front of him, and the price of several million was no problem at the beginning. He comforted Chen Jiaxuan and said: "It's just a copyright, we still have so many top novel IPs, and it's up to us to manage them well." ”

"Now whoever comes to buy our mobile game adaptation rights again, it will never be so simple to sell, it is not okay to pay it all at once, you have to give up the sales dividends, and learn the 1+1 model of the entertainment industry, it is much better to sell it than a hammer. ”

Chen Jiaxuan has begun to silently calculate that the so-called 1+1 model is about 10 million copyright fees and 10% sales dividends, which is the same as the salary + box office dividends of big-name actors.

If "The Martian" used the 1+1 model in the previous trading, then Lin Han could earn tens of millions of yuan just by relying on this mobile game!

There is no regret medicine in the world, and Lin Han feels that the rest of his novels will never be worse than this, he touched his chin, "You said that if we buy a game company to develop the copyright of my novel in the future, I don't feel at ease if I hand it over to others, what if I change it randomly?"

"It's not wise for you to be like a shareholder who speculates in stocks. We don't know how to make games, and the failure rate of casual crossover is too high, and the gains outweigh the losses. Chen Jiaxuan said very calmly, she has seen many examples of failure.

Lin Han spread out his hand and said regretfully: "Then that's the only way, try to cooperate with large companies, choose a better reputation." ”

At this time, it was already the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, and the New Year was just around the corner, Lin Han walked to the edge of the refrigerator to check it, and said, "I have to stock up on some ingredients, otherwise cooking during the Spring Festival will be a problem." How about going to the supermarket after lunch?"

"Okay, but you don't have to buy too much, it's not new. Supermarkets are still open during the Chinese New Year, so take care of yourself. Chen Jiaxuan sighed, she was going home for the New Year, but she hadn't told her family about falling in love.

Lin Han touched Chen Jiaxuan's hand, since Chen Jiaxuan didn't mention going to her house for the Spring Festival, he simply didn't ask, he clearly realized that the two of them got along very well, anyway, they were both in Yanjing City, and they could meet almost every day.

……

The bustle of the store, the crowding of the roads, and the red lanterns hanging high in the streets and alleys are all reminders that the New Year is coming!

Pushing the shopping cart and walking in Wal-Mart, the entire supermarket was almost crowded, especially in the gift area and health care products area, Lin Han and Chen Jiaxuan picked up the vegetable and fruit area for a while, and then went to the aquatic products to buy a fish.

Although there is only one person, it can be regarded as everything, and there is more than enough every year!

The two pushed the shopping cart to the parking lot of the supermarket, Lin Han packed bags of things into the trunk, and Chen Jiaxuan pushed the shopping cart to the side of the storage area, and the cooperation was very tacit.

Lin Han was sitting in the driver's seat just now, and before he could fasten his seat belt, his mobile phone rang coldly.

"136**Whose mobile phone number is this, do you have a record over there?" Lin Han's mobile phone is basically confidential, and only familiar friends know about it, so he was a little surprised when an unfamiliar number called.

After Chen Jiaxuan searched on his address book, he replied: "I don't know here, could it be that he came to defraud during the Spring Festival?" ”

Lin Han clicked on it, and then asked, "Hello, is there anything wrong?"

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am a friend of Fu Zhan, and I begged him for half a day to get your call. By the way, I'm a development manager at Electronic Arts, my name is Chu Yan, and I'm currently in charge of mobile games and entertainment-related applications. ”

Through hands-free, Chen Jiaxuan also heard this voice, but neither of them knew much about the game industry and didn't know what Electronic Arts was.

Adhering to the spirit of asking if he didn't understand, Lin Han opened his mouth and asked, "Mr. Chu, may I ask what is your company's main business?"

Chu Yan on the other end of the phone couldn't help but widen his eyes when he heard this, and he made an introduction with confidence, but the other party didn't know about Electronic Arts, and he didn't care if it was true or not, so he briefly introduced and said: "Maybe you will know if you have a short abbreviation, our company is EA, that's right, it is EA, which specializes in video games, and is currently the world's largest interactive entertainment software company." Need for Speed, The Sims, Battlefield, Plants vs. Zombies, Red Alert, FIFA, NBA are all produced by our company, and of course there are only three games produced by our Chinese branch. ”

Although he is not familiar with the game industry, the well-known EA still knows that when Lin Han plays games, he will always see the EA logo when he enters the game interface.

As for the purpose of the development manager's call, the two of them basically knew that what they introduced through Fu Zhan of Xingyue Games was nothing more than buying the copyright of the game.

"Oh, I know EA, I don't associate Chinese with this English abbreviation. I don't know what Mr. Chu is doing with me? I don't know what Mr. Chu is doing to wish me a happy new year. ”

Chu Yan was not ambiguous, he sighed and said: "Although EA is so famous in the world, EA China is difficult to develop, and it has not developed a relatively popular game for a long time. And the competition in these branches is very fierce, originally EA Japan and the Westwood Studio, which once developed "Red Alert", have been closed, if we can't come up with good works next year, it is estimated that we will follow in their footsteps. ”

"So?" Lin Han is not a philanthropist, does EA China have much to do with whether it is closed or not?

"So we want to buy the rights to adapt your novel game, and buy the PC game together with the mobile game adaptation. At present, we are thinking of buying the copyright of "Jurassic Park" and "Three-Body Problem", I wonder if Mr. Lin is willing?"

They are very jealous of the success of "The Martian", and "The Martian" is not the top in Lin Han's novels, whether it is commercial or literary.

Even the adaptation of "The Martian" into a mobile game can sell tens of millions of copies worldwide, and the two more popular "Jurassic Park" and "Three-Body Problem" should not be worse, especially since they themselves are particularly suitable for adaptation.

However, Lin Han's answer disappointed him, "I'm sorry Mr. Chu, I shared the game adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" with Paramount, so that they can operate the full copyright. You can contact them, or ask the head office to contact Paramount, and I'm sure Paramount will agree. ”

If the head office is allowed to contact the head office, the game adaptation rights can still fall on the Chinese branch, Chu Yan sighed, "What about "Three-Body Problem"? The three-body game itself is suitable for adaptation, and the whole series can also be adapted, I think "Three-Body Problem" can be made into a classic science fiction game!" (To be continued.) )
