Chapter 248: Unexpected Game Release Results
"However, then again, what did Lun mean by what Senior Sister Shiyu helped us secure a booth on the third day?" Shiyu's sudden appearance, as well as the quarrel between Yingli Li and Shiyu, made Kazuya forget what he wanted to ask for a while, and when the situation eased, Kazuya also remembered this question.
"Ah, this case, it happened that someone I knew said he could help, and then I won it, and I was a little worried that the number of copies of the game prepared by our club was too small to cope with two days! Unexpectedly, Lun also confidently agreed to me, so I can take a look at the situation. โ
"Of course, right?" Lun, who didn't know when he came to everyone, waved his fists excitedly and said, "This is the best beautiful girl game, how can it fail because of the lack of copies?" Now everyone has tried the game, right? From the perspective of those of you who are in the industry, it's a beautifully crafted game, isn't it? โ
"It's true that this game is top-notch in terms of what a non-commercial fanfic community can makeโ" Kato nodded and agreed.
"It's no surprise that no non-commercial fandom club can invite the industry's top concept artists and established fiction writers to participate in the game project. Even Michiru, who you found by some coincidence, is also a talented music creator, so it's a miracle that you can bring these people together! Of course, our goal can't be limited to simple non-commercial fandom! โ
Ying Li Li was probably the most experienced person in sales of COMI among all the people present, and she couldn't help frowning as she looked at the several large boxes full of game CDs behind Lunya, "Although that's true, I'm also very confident in my original art, but, to be honest, at least in my expectations, I'm not so optimistic about this sales estimate." In the final analysis,It's the same as the previous problem of Kasumigaoka Shiyu,Our game is still inferior in publicity.,A fandom without any foundation.,Even if we think we've done the ultimate in publicity.,It's still going to be crushed under absolute strength, right? If a community like Rouge-en-Rouge were willing to fight us, we would have absolutely no way to fight back. In this industry, word-of-mouth can represent many things, but there is no way to connect word-of-mouth and this kind of instant sales. โ
"Don't worry!" Ying Lili's words made Lun Ye's face a little awkward, but he still patted his chest and said confidently, "Believe me, if word of mouth is not linked to instant sales, it is because word of mouth is not good enough, and with the quality of our game, this is the so-called absolute strength, under this absolute strength, these little quantities, there is absolutely no problem!" โ
"Butโ"
Ying Lili still wanted to argue, but her words were unexpectedly interrupted by Shiyu.
"-Don't worry, I also think what Lun said is very reasonable, or are you not confident enough in your paintings," Shiyu squinted at Ying Lili and said, "Oh, it also makes sense, after all, your original painting was made in a short period of time, and it is completely different from my script that has been revised for a long time!" Then I can understand your concern. โ
"Kasumigaoka Shiyu, I'm not interested in arguing with you right now," Surprisingly, Ying Lili didn't care about Shiyu's provocation, but said seriously, "I have absolute confidence in this game, and,I believe,It won't take too long,As long as it takes a week of fermentation,There will definitely be a shortage of supply for this game in the circle,But,The problem is,Comi is only three days.,Even if Lun is right.,Give a day to eliminate doubts.,But more people won't play it directly after buying this game., The praise for it won't spread in a short time! In this case, I think you know better than me the risk of so many copies of Lunye, right? Just like your first novel, although we all know that it is of high quality, the publishing house did not dare to print it in large quantities at that time, and it was even cut in half, which is the so-called gap between propaganda and basic popularity! โ
"So, shall we make a bet?" Shi Yu narrowed her eyes and asked.
"What bet?"
"After today, let's see how much this game can sell? Take today as the line, less than 500 copies are counted as your win, and more than 500 copies are counted as my win, is it okay? โ
"No problem!"
Seeing that Ying Lili accepted Shi Yu's blockade with some momentum, and also stopped her with some worry: "Ying Lili, it's better to be cautious, right?" Although I think what you said is more reasonable, today's Senior Sister Shiyu is a little too confident! If it was her before, I should agree with your answer even more! โ
"Yes, I know, if it was that woman, she should have made a more rational answer," Ying Lili bit her lip and said, "It's because she didn't know what medicine she took wrong today, so I have to correct her." That guy is the most uncomfortable, and the most powerful thing about her should be the judgment of this situation, no matter what makes her like this, I have to tell her that it turns out that Kasumigaoka Shiyu is normal! โ
Seeing Ying Lili's determined appearance, Kazuya also understood that she had made up her mind, and it was inconvenient to stop him, so he had to choose to retreat.
"In order to ensure fairness, Kazuya Kato will do the work of statistics, right?" Shi Yu looked at Ying Lili in a deep voice and asked.
"Ah, I'm fine!" Kato nodded briefly and agreed.
"Although I definitely want to sell as much as possible, but you two of you, Ying Lili and Shiyu Senpai, there's no need - okay, I know." Lun also wanted to mediate the-for-tat confrontation between the two, but looking at the cold eyes cast by both parties, and Kazuya secretly spread his hands to express helplessness, he still agreed.
"Also, Kazuya-kun, please supervise your little girlfriend and ask her not to do anything that hinders sales, is it okay?"
"Hey, if I want to win, I won't do that kind of indiscriminate thing, right?"
"Believe me, Senior Sister Shiyu, Ying Lili is not the one who does that kind of thing!"
"Actually, I know it, but it's just that one more person is safer, isn't it?"
-------------------------- Dividing Line--------------------------
After having the heart of winning and losing, Kazuya and Yingli Lili's interest in visiting comi also faded a lot, although the two of them still ended the day's trip according to the booked route, but Kazuya obviously noticed that the absent-minded Yingli Lili's heart had already flown to the side of Blessing-Software's booth.
"The final result is 734 copies? How is this possible? Looking at the result announced by Kato in the end, Ying Li Li was a little stunned.
"yes, I can help you confirm that too! It's amazing! The excited look on Lunye's face couldn't be concealed at all, and he said with some excitement, "To be honest, I estimated that I would be able to sell 500 copies on the first day, after all, I also made 1,500 copies of the game, and it is estimated that I can double the positive reviews on the third day, but I almost completed half of my goal on the first day!" I think it's incredible! โ
"But it did sell 734 copies, right?" Kazuya looked at Kato in amazement, and Kato's simple nod signaled that there was no problem with everyone's statistics.
In fact,Even if you've seen the marketing methods of Lun Ye,And also think that the sales of 734 copies are still too incredible.,The price of the game itself is higher than the book.,And the quality of the same games is often uneven.,For small communities,Even if the publicity is strong,,Customers will be discouraged because there is no credibility guarantee.,It should be said,500 copies can be sold on the first day,It's already a rare result.,And 734 copies,This can basically reach the standard of a community with a stable reputation., And that's not even counting the information bombardment after the game experience is complete.
As you can imagine, the 1,500 copies of the game that Len has prepared are definitely not enough.
"It's not okay to underestimate yourself too much!" Shi Yu walked up to Ying Lili with some pride and said.
"Alright! This time I'll admit that I lost. Ying Lili raised her head, looked at Shi Yu with a complicated expression, and replied.
"Eh, I thought you'd say a few words like you used to?"
"It's useless to refute! No matter what method you used, it's a fact that 734 copies were sold, even if some strange methods were used, but as long as it was sold, it would be your victory, and besides, this was the first galgame I participated in, okay, and I should be happy if it sold well, right? โ
"Eh, I've grown a lot! It looks like it's goodbye to the blonde defeated dog in the past. โ
"That's right," Ying Lili said with a smile very freely, "If you use that name now, I can also refute it very happily, instead of being angry!" โ
"Ah, sure enough, it's changed a lot!" Shi Yu showed a slightly envious and somewhat tangled expression, looked at Kazuya, who had been standing with Ying Lili since just now, and said, "Indeed, there is no way to say that you are a defeated dog!" โ
"That's right!" And you can also feel Ying Lili holding his hand tightly when he said this, at this time, he can only quietly hold the other party back, "It's not anymore!" โ
"However, in this way, although I won, there is no joy of the winner." Shi Yu stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "I feel that bet, it's the same whether you play or not!" From the very beginning, I lost, your current expression is too calm, I feel that I put forward this bet, and I am too heavy on the victory with you, and I am losing in every sense. โ
"However, speaking of which, it seems that when the two of you made a bet just now, they didn't come up with what the bet was!" Kato's words made everyone suddenly wake up.
"Ah, I was going to set a trap for you to drill into." Shi Yu smiled and said, "But now I think that if the bet I think of is said, it will seem that I am really too bad, so forget it, right?" โ
"So, what's that bet on?" Kazuya also looked at Shiyu curiously.
"So, do you really want to know?" Shiyu's black pupils stared deeply at Kazuya, making him suddenly feel a little hairy.
"Well, if you don't want to say it, then I won't force it!" Kazuya, who realized that he might have touched something he shouldn't touch, chose to retract the topic wisely.
"However, if you lose, you lose, if you don't think that idea works this time, then even if I owe you a good time," Ying Lili at this time was a little entangled in the problem, "Okay, if you don't want to, I can't do it, but, I just think, should, do you understand, you should agree once, understand?" โ
"Well, if you really think so, don't regret it later!"
"I don't think you're going to ask too much, are you?"
"Then I don't know! After all, it was Miss Yingli's active plea! โ
"You're going to be terrible, aren't youโwell, what did you just call me?"
"Well, the ex-blonde defeated dog's active plea."
"Nonsense, it's obviously not like that!"
"Ah, I'm sorry you heard me wrong!"
--------------------------Interlude-----------------------------------
"So how was the sales of the first day of the debut work of the future writer of our club, Galgame?"
"Thanks to your clothes, it's so-so!"
"Well, it seems that you also know that we played a little bit of a role in it, right?"
"That hint you had when you talked to me about the terms of joining your club was obvious, right? Hopefully your first work will have a good result or something, and we're looking forward to it too. โ
"Well, to be able to hear our thoughts through those words, it's worthy of Kasumigaoka Shiyu!"
"So, what did you do?"
"It's just a little bit of a rumor, saying that the writer of our next work has participated in the creation of a small club this time."
"That's enough, isn't it? After all, with the number of die-hard fans of rouge-en-rouge, as long as one-third of them patronize our community, it is enough to bring a big change to the sales of blessing-software! โ
"However, the first game sold too badly, and it was not easy for me to convince the other members to let you write a new script!"
"I know, but you don't have to do it the day after tomorrow, right?"
"Worried about raising your profile too much and affecting your future community? Do you really take your president's thoughts seriously? โ
"I'm gone, I don't know if they'll be able to hold on! I just don't think there's any need to use such a small trick anymore, that game doesn't need to be an adjunct to your propaganda. Of course, I was also very ashamed of the other thought I had earlier. โ
"What do you think?"
"Don't worry, at least it's not about the game."
"Is that so? Then do as you wish! I'm looking forward to the magic of your game script, Kasumiko-sensei! โ
"I won't let you down, Miss Akasaka Zhuyin!"
