Chapter 51: Plants vs. Zombies released
After a lot of effort, the special effects company was finally established, just above the Storm Fist Company. The www.biquge.info job of the summer was to teach them how to use Flame and what real movie special effects were, which was difficult for anyone but Ciri to understand, and it would take some time for the company to get up and running at this pace.
All of you at Will Studio really lived up to expectations and completed 'Plants vs. Zombies' half a month ahead of schedule. Dari called a meeting of everyone in the marketing department, and summer came.
It is said to be a department, but in fact, there are not many people. Summer sat by and listened to them discuss it, because Summer didn't know much about it. When promoting 'myworld', we use local methods, which are slow to produce results and high risk. This 'Plants vs. Zombies' propaganda can't be like last time.
Darui directly proposed to allocate 20 million US dollars as publicity money, and Summer was shocked, but he did not object, he still trusted Darui very much. After the whole meeting, Summer threw himself into the five-body body that Darry admired, and the publicity he proposed aimed at all the characteristics of the game 'Plants vs. Zombies'.
What's the biggest selling point of 'Plants vs. Zombies'? It's free, in this era of full pay-for-all games, will you download a free-to-play game? Then there's the delicate and cute characters of 'Plants vs. Zombies'. Whether it's a plant or a zombie, it's all cute. If you had a game with cute characters and a game that didn't cost you money, would you play it?
However, the game cannot be launched immediately, and many problems have not been solved, but the promotion of the game can be carried out in advance.
After the meeting, I was going to go to the real estate company to see the house in the summer and was ready to move in the summer.
Summer went to the real estate company, and after saying his request, the agent took out a tablet and gave it to Summer and asked him to see if there was any satisfactory apartment type. Summer took the computer and flipped through it casually, and after looking at it for a while, he was attracted to a villa. This villa is called 'Free City', and in the summer I recognized it as the villa in the Iron Man movie at a glance, and when I watched the movie in the summer, I fantasized about living in this villa and trying it, and today it can finally come true.
Summer immediately called the agent over: "Is this villa also going to be sold?" ”
The agent said: "This 'free city' is based on first-class linear shapes, emphasizing freedom. It was designed by the famous architect Brown Christopher Lobin. It was built less than half a year ago, and it has not yet been occupied. The price is only 15 million US dollars......"
Summer was already attracted to this villa, and he didn't listen to a word of what was going on. Before the intermediary could finish speaking, Summer hurriedly replied: "That's it!" Get the formalities done now. "Summer made a big mistake, but he didn't know it yet, and it was not right until he bought the villa......
When Ciri and Sam heard about Summer's experience, they burst into laughter and almost fainted. Sam laughed and mocked Summer, "Boos, you bought the house in California, you can really do it, and then the company may need to go every three days, because the first two days are still on the way to work." ”
Ciri corrected, "It's not once every three days, it's once every five days, because it will take two days for him to get home from work." ”
Summer said angrily: "You guys are enough! It's a big deal to buy another one, and then 'Electronic Magic' will have to move to Los Angeles because Hollywood is there. Besides, I'm Boos, and I can go to work whenever I want. ”
Ciri also thought about this problem, and it is very likely that 'Electronic Magic' will move to Los Angeles in the future, because 'Electronic Magic' is mainly used for movie special effects, and he is really a blind cat and a dead mouse.
The publicity for 'Plants vs. Zombies' is also ready to begin, and there are thousands of pairs of eyes outside looking at them, wondering if they have the real thing or if they are short-lived.
When Riot Fist announced the news of the new game, it caused an uproar throughout the network and media. The game is free to download, which is unprecedented, and many people think that Riot Fist is crazy. The online news, newspapers and magazines are all filled with negative news about Riot Punch, thinking that they are crazy or deceiving players.
Riot Fist paid no attention to the comments of the outside world and concentrated on the promotion of the new game.
I have to say that it spent $20 million on publicity, and the publicity efforts were still very sufficient. On the homepages of major websites are the countdown to the launch of 'Plants vs. Zombies', and with the cute promotional posters, anyone is willing to take a second look.
On the streets of New York, a couple is waiting for a bus. The girl looked at the poster in front of the platform, on the left side of the poster are strange cartoon plants, on the right are cartoon zombies of different shapes, and in the middle is a string of colorful text 'Plants vs. Zombies officially landed on major game platforms on September 12', and there are four big words at the bottom 'Free download'. I have to say that this poster is very attractive, the colors are vibrant, and the characters are bright and cute.
The girl asks her boyfriend "Honey, what game is this?" ”
His boyfriend replied: "This is a new game from Riot Fist, and it is said to be free to download." ”
The girl said, "Is it the production company of 'myworld'?" ”
Her boyfriend nodded, "Although the free download is very attractive, the game looks good." I just don't know if it's really fun. ”
The girl smiled and said, "I think these characters are so cute, let's try them together when the time comes, and we don't need money anyway." ”
The temptation of the free game trick is too great, whether you are interested in this game or not, everyone is willing to download it and take a look.
The training of the special effects technical team has finally been completed, and it only took two or three months to learn it. The time has finally come for the release of 'Plants vs. Zombies'.
The game was officially launched at 0:00 on September 12th, and many people wanted to see if the Riot Fist Company was deceiving players, and it turned out to be a free game, so of course I clicked on it.
The next day, when the number of downloads came out, it directly scared everyone. 090 million times, the game is still only online in the United States, how many people are in the whole United States? less than 400 million people. The number of downloads reached 90 million in one night, and the data is terrifying. However, other game companies are not envious at all, and they are probably still thinking in their hearts, "You are ***, it is useless to give 10 billion downloads, and you can't make a penny." ”
Everyone who downloaded the game has found that the game has a top-up function, you can exchange real money for the bricks in the game, the bricks can be used for lottery, and you can also use the gold finger function in the game. No matter how much you recharge for the first time, you will get a plant called High Nut. Players who discovered this feature were thinking "*** will charge." ”
It won't be long before game companies and players realize that they are the best.
The couple also downloaded the game for the first time, they are loyal players of 'myworld' and have some confidence in Riot Fist.
The game has finally begun, and there are three chapters of maps throughout the game, and some maps are black, which means they haven't appeared yet, and each map has a lot of small levels. At the top is a game feature called 'Top-up', and there are some weird features below.
