Chapter 409: Amazing Pre-Sales
Li Faka was shocked, how could Celadon Technology look for her?
The song she recorded, there is no hope of regaining the top of the charts.
Not only her, but many students in the computer room who are also surfing the Internet have become a sensation. In this school, someone can actually get the invitation of Celadon Technology!
"Is Li Fa stuck here?" The teacher asked again. She is from the teaching office, and it is impossible to know every student, and she is not sure whether Li Faka is in the computer room or the recording studio. If she wasn't here, she'd have to look elsewhere. Suddenly such a talent appeared, and the face of the school was also bright.
"It's me." Li Faka raised his hand and said.
"Did you sing a song...... What rose song? "The teacher can't remember the name of the song.
"Yes." Li Faker confirmed that Celadon Technology was looking for her. But there are still some doubts, why?
Under the admiring gaze of a bunch of students, Li Faker followed the teacher to the teaching office and answered the call from Celadon Technology.
It turned out that Wang and the game team had been staring at various entries. Li Fake's singing "Roses Passing Away from Afar" has of course also been noticed. This song is indeed suitable for making the theme song of "Air Combat Vanguard".
That song was recorded with the school's recording equipment and was not very professional. So Celadon Technology found Li Faka and invited her to Nanjiang. In a professional studio, re-record the song as the game's theme song.
This time, Celadon Technology insisted on not being linked to money. Only bear the cost of accommodation, transportation and transportation for Li Faka. There is no remuneration.
But the theme song sung by Li Faka can enter a game with such a wide range of players. It's enough for Hairpin Lee.
She doesn't have the idea of reaching the sky in one step, and she doesn't even feel like a singer. Now, let her songs be on a bigger stage, and let her have access to more professional equipment. It's been incredible progress for her.
Of course, Li Faka agreed, and quickly asked for two days off. I plan to use these two days to go to Nanjiang to record.
After simply packing her luggage, she was ready to take the bus to the long-distance bus station to Nanjiang.
Right at the school gate, there was a girl with tears on her face and a frightened and angry expression, dragging a handsome guy with a disgusted face, begging for something loudly. Li Faka looked twice as he walked by. Recognized. It was the fashionable girl I had seen in the school studio that day.
Li Faka didn't take it to heart, thinking about where he would go to play after going to Nanjiang.
……
For creators like Philip Lee, rankings and votes are very important. But Wang Bucheng didn't pay much attention to it.
Due to the restrictions of the rules, players have a limited number of votes. So vote more for a certain website, or for a certain person. A big website attracts more votes. However, it does not mean that his works are necessarily better than small websites in terms of quality.
Wang lived up to hope from this event. Absorb enough elements to flesh out the Air Combat Vanguard. These more than 3,000 works, no matter how many votes they get. It's possible to make it into the game.
"Roses Skimming the Sky", sketches of fantasy machines, and a set of settings that are perfect for the game's story...... Wang was so dazzled that he didn't even have time to look at the pre-sale sales.
The short stories he had been chasing for the past few days had been exhausted in the fierce voting competition. In the text category, the first place is a set of settings.
The content fits the background of the game of "Air Combat Vanguard", but it is very surreal. In order to quickly resolve the battle, the invading UN forces secretly researched the dark magic of the Middle Ages and weaponized it, opening the gates of Hell next to the player's base. All kinds of powerful demons are pouring out, and players need to constantly face those demons to finally destroy the "Gates of Hell".
The setting set is not a story, there is no plot, and it is tile. But the content is very complete, with nearly 100 kinds of air and ground demons set in words, and the process of hitting the devil's lair to the gate of hell is very detailed. Wang Bu felt that the setting set was already detailed enough to make a new game directly.
Here's why so many people vote. The others can only be made into a game mission, and this can be made enough to play a side plot for more than a month.
The website that gave birth to that canon set is a pretty professional game discussion board. There are even veteran players who have been playing games since the 80s. This set of settings is influenced by old-school games in Europe and the United States.
The discussion version is only sparse in popularity, and there is not much ability to canvass votes. However, this set of settings has attracted the attention of many unfactional players with its huge amount of game content.
Not only did neutral players vote for the canon to help it reach the top, but they also flocked to the discussion board to see where such a work could have been created.
As a result, the celadon technology search index of the discussion version soared in a very short period of time, with an increase of several thousand!
It's a win-win. The discussion board has been supported by popularity, and Wang has also received new inspiration.
As for whether the canon set and the game content match? Wang did veto the warm daily comics of the zombie girl before, but what he vetoed was the gameplay of "the cute girl becomes a cute zombie after death". It's not a big deal to make new enemies for the player.
The follow-up gameplay that Wang Bu thought of some time ago is not more reliable than these. What he thought was: due to the large number of high-powered weapons on the battlefield, a lot of magical energy storms have been generated, distorting time and space, and players can send fighters into the energy storm and travel to the battlefield during World War II......
In comparison, the "Demon Invasion" is not bad.
In addition to the very popular set of canons, there are a lot of good things in the literary category. In addition to the literature category, other categories can also contribute to the game.
As long as the king lives up to his fancy, he will decide to get into the game. The theme song sung by Li Fatka is one of them.
To keep the minigame lean and streamlined, the theme song is not added to the game by default with the installer. But there is a downloader built into the whole game, and players can add all sorts of things at any time.
The download engine is ready-made, and Wang Bufu invested in a downloader's startup team back last year. The game box integrates that download engine.
On the landing page, an icon similar to a small wrench will appear, allowing players to customize the pictures and songs displayed on the landing page.
The wrench icon will also appear in many places. Players are on different pages and open there are also different options. You can add voice to the pilot, change clothes, change rooms, add engine sound effects to the fighter, and more.
Moreover, there will be more and more things that can be changed under the player's creation.
The game can be played at 50Mb, but it can also be increased to a few hundred Mb in size, or even more bloated.
And these will be available to players for free. Wang did not give the creator any monetary remuneration when he obtained these materials, so he naturally could not make a profit from this.
Even if it doesn't become a profit point, this real-time updated and constantly evolving model continues to attract players, which is already an unimaginable benefit.
Of course, there are votes for exciting pre-sales, and the data is also beautiful. Wang Bufu didn't go to know about the pre-sale sales of the game until after four o'clock in the afternoon, when he got off work. The results were very pleasant, with more than five million copies already surpassed.
Wang smiled happily. But he didn't think it was anything unusual. He has lived through the two Internet eras, where content is king and topic is king. Knowing that a product only needs to have enough content as a foundation, coupled with eye-catching topicality, and then you can wait for a miracle to happen.
Wang is very confident in the content. There's nothing unusual about leveling up lines and gameplay. However, the world view under the framework of this game is absolutely rare, and I believe that the content of the game can be unique.
Add to that the realistic and overhead fighter jets, the random personalities of the subordinates, and these are both fun and gimmicks.
There's even more topicality attached to the game. From the very beginning of the game to fight aliens or aliens, to the trend caused by E3, to this collection and selection event. The topic went on and on.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Buyi has promoted the concept of "Air Combat Pioneer" as much as possible. That's why five million people have affirmed the game with their consumption without seeing it.
For this result, Wang Bubu only felt surprised, not surprised. He expected a lot of people to buy the pre-sale, but he didn't expect there to be so many people with five million!
But the entire celadon building was stunned by the pre-sale sales. Last year, it was also a small game made in a month, but it took several days after its release to reach 5 million sales.
Fortunately, before I saw "Air Combat Vanguard", five million people actually bought the game!
You know, these days are very ordinary, not a special day, neither a winter and summer vacation for students, nor a public holiday. That's how it can still generate such sales!
Five million is not over yet. It's only five o'clock now, and after dinner time, there will be a peak period of launches. Now there are five million, and then the sales will go crazy again.
Sure enough, at seven o'clock, pre-sale sales began to usher in a peak of growth. Jumping up again at tens of thousands per minute.
It was only after eight o'clock that the momentum slowed down. At this time, the pre-sales have exceeded seven million, and they are about to move towards eight million.
This data surprised He Qingyan. She was at home at this time, with cucumbers all over her face, and she looked up to watch TV with Xianxian. When she got the call, she thought she had misheard.
She had heard it in the morning, and there was a wave of online spikes in the evening. But I didn't expect Gao Cheng to be like this! In just over three hours, more than two million copies of the game were pre-sold!
At present, the pre-sale volume of 7 million copies has exceeded He Qingyan's understanding. In the traditional industry, no matter what happens, such a scene cannot happen.
This is the first game that She watched and made after He Qingyan came to Celadon Technology. I didn't think there was anything peculiar, and it was not much different from "Stunning Country: Prequel" that she also went up to play from time to time. How could there be such a sensation? (To be continued......)
