Newspapers, websites, television, radio, ...... In just a few days, news reports about Netad sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and the impact it brought was even more unexpected, with Longquan announcing that the game had surpassed the 1 million mark in sales just eight days after Netad was released, and decided to launch a second collector's pack.
When this news came out, the entire Chinese game industry was shaken, and with millions of sales, "Netad" was about to create a miracle of ZĂ o revenue, and its sales volume would exceed a hundred times the cost. Game manufacturers are starting to disillusion with the 18-banned version, which is a revolution, and the script of text adventure games has become their new focus, and some game manufacturers have begun to recruit script writers.
The second set of collector's packs sold by Longquan Company was also sold out in one day, and the enthusiasm for buying "Netad" has not subsided.
Since the game started being reported, its influence has snowballed, with more and more news appearing, more and more people becoming aware of it, and even some other circles becoming popular. Even the comparison between "Netad" and the romance TV series appeared on Weibo, and while the plot of "Netad" was addictive, netizens also circulated a joke:
"Brother. Is your wife still watching romance dramas? She's so out, you buy a "Netad" and go home, and tell her what real romance is. Although it is just a joke among netizens, this sentence has been reprinted and quoted by hundreds of thousands of people, and has been adapted into various versions such as "mother" and "sister", as if it has become a popular phrase.
More and more people know about "Netad" and are affected by this incident. It's a pity that the top three voice actors at the celebration also became popular.
Among the three voice actors, the male voice actor is in charge of the voice of the protagonist of the game "Netad", and Long Xue is in charge of the voice of Kotomi, and the two of them are very good and have been highly praised by players. And the biggest beneficiary is Xia Chuan Zhen, who is responsible for the role of after, and the well-deserved heroine of the story. It is also the voice of the player's favorite character, Xi.
Although it was the first time to participate in the voice actor work, Xia Chuan really relied on the charm of the character of Xi to quickly increase his popularity, and even showed signs of Yue Longxue. And she is also responsible for the dubbing of many songs of "Netad", and the ending song "Little Palm" of the finale is considered by countless people to be a divine comedy.
"Little Palm" is one of the most tear-jerking songs in the game, its melody is soft and simple, and the lyrics are warm and sincere. It's a pity that although it is not clear who this song is for, players regard it as a representative song of the tide and AS line. Its lyrics describe a lot of the game's haunting story, and there is no flashy superfluous arrangement. And there is a sentence in it: "...... The small palm of the hand also contains ...... crossed the strong ...... of you and me", and was commented by some netizens as the most tearful lyrics.
This lyric is located in the "gaochao" stage of the song, and whenever they hear this song, people who have played the game will invariably remember the strength of Xi in the painful fate, and her strength is the most moving characteristic. Once you think of Xi's experience with the lyrics, few people can not cry.
Relying on this "Little Palm", Xia Chuanzhen also set a record in the Far East that made hundreds of audiences cry at the same time at the concert, and her popularity spread from the Far East, and more and more people paid attention to her in Huaxia Big 6.
"She and He Xi are simply a golden pair" - the well-known musician He Lin after careful research, and then commented on Xia Chuan's truthfulness, the reason why this girl sings such a moving singing voice. The main thing is that her voice can fit perfectly with He Xi's composition style. She doesn't quite fit the characteristics of Chinese pop style, and her composition style is also different from pop style, but after the two of them cooperate, they can produce amazing results, and they are well-deserved golden partners.
However, this golden partner has not yet been approved by more people. And Meng Shu, as the person concerned, didn't even know that Xia Chuan's true popularity had risen sharply. Or should it be said that his eyes have been blinded by the copyright adaptation of "Netad", and he has no time to pay attention to Xia Chuan's real life behind it.
In fact, as Netad has gained more and more attention, there has been a steady stream of copyright invitations to it. Several animation companies, comic strip companies, film companies, as well as a number of novel publishers and writers have conveyed to Meng the idea of adapting Netad.
Netad's story is clear, moving, and not too difficult to adapt, making it a great fit for other genres. However, there are too many people who have been invited, including famous TV stations including CCTV, Zhongxia Company, Longteng Novels, well-known directors in China, and the comic editorial department of Phoenix Company, etc., all of which are very positive......
Everyone has selfish intentions, Meng Xu first left the comic adaptation rights of "Netad" in the Phoenix company, this game was originally in the form of comics, so adapting comics is very simple. As long as a few cartoonists copy the plot of the game slowly, such a simple job must of course be left in the hands of their own company.
But animation, novels, live-action movies and TV series, Phoenix is really powerless. Live-action movies and TV series can be refused, Meng Shu left a shadow in his heart in his previous life, and he thought that the live-action version of "Netad" would destroy his three views. So the opportunity for live-action films and TV series was ruled out, leaving only the adaptation of the anime and the novel......
Animation,Although Phoenix Company also has an animation department,But now it's a high-load work.,Can't support the animation of "Netad".,This game is adapted into animation with forty or fifty episodes.,It's also a feature-length animation.,Long-form animation requires too many resources.,Meng Huo doesn't consider doing it himself for the time being.ă
"If you don't do it yourself, it's better to give animation to Zhongxia Company or CCTV......"
Meng Shu thought about it, he couldn't miss the opportunity of "Netad" to become popular, if the animation was announced, "Netad's game and various revenues would be higher". And the invitation made by Zhongxia and CCTV this time is very attractive, they just bought out the animation adaptation at a high price, and the copyright of the peripheral and other derivative products is still in Meng Shu's hands.
Compared with the peripheral items, Meng Shu didn't care about how much money he could receive from the TV station, he thought about it, and finally chose Zhongxia Company. Anyway, no matter how well Zhongxia does it, it is only to advertise "Netad", Meng Shu feels that this is an opportunity to make friends with Zhongxia, and he hopes to spend a honeymoon period with Zhongxia in the next few years to reduce friction.
It's not because of fear and fear, it's for a better show. The comic industry is expanding too fast, and if Phoenix and Zhongxia keep competing, the two will be injured, and other comic companies will have a chance to take advantage of it. This is not a phenomenon that Meng Huo wants to see, he would rather play with Zhongxia in a few years than lose the opportunity to expand the market quickly.
"Okay, that's it."
After Meng Shu made a decision, he immediately replied to CCTV and Zhongxia, CCTV seemed to be a little unhappy, but this time they didn't provoke trouble and accepted it silently. Zhongxia's reaction was very intense, and Ding Yanghua even called Meng Huo in person to thank him, and then gave Meng Huo the blessing of harmonious coexistence in the future.
The chairman's reaction made Meng Shu very satisfied, but he soon met an even more angry person, Li Ming, the editor-in-chief of Longteng Novels.
In order to obtain the right to adapt the novel of "Netad", Li Ming actually brought a beautiful writer to the extreme east. Meng Shu was very surprised, he hadn't seen her for two years, and the editor-in-chief of this novel was more polite. He greeted the two warmly, and Meng Shu didn't want to miss the opportunity to adapt the novel. A script and a novel are two different things, and a script focuses on dialogue. But the novel is more demanding, with at least three or four times the amount of text than the game script - Meng was tired of writing the script, he didn't want to write another novel with the same plot, and he also needed to write a very delicate and beautiful writing to write a tear-jerking story like "Netad" well.
Meng Shu did not have the confidence in this, he talked to the beautiful writer, and at the same time read her works, this is an outstanding romance writer, the style is very delicate, the elegance of the writing is impeccable, so he agreed on the spot.
So "Netad" followed the game, and announced the news of the simultaneous adaptation of the anime and the novel, and as soon as the news came out, the media and readers were overjoyed, and the game's sales frenzy again. Its buying spree didn't end until just around the end of the Chinese New Year, and by this time, the total sales had already exceeded 1.5 million.
The 1.5 million sales of the text adventure game were shouted in disbelief by the media, but the excitement of the game manufacturers was beyond words.
"It's a pity that the teacher is really a beacon for me!"
"His game has doubled the market, and the word adventure game will be more profitable in the future!"
"Recruit writers, we need writers!"
After being a cartoonist, he regretted changing the fate of many writers again. His prestige kept pace with the times, and the two companies, Longquan and Phoenix, also enjoyed a bumper harvest.
In the sound of joy and blessings, December has passed, and the Spring Festival is coming.
