Chapter 301: MC Pop
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
And then...... Zhou Xiao's game was revealed, on his "Flickering Journey".
Everyone's first reaction to this game was surprisingly unanimous: "The picture sucks!" Rotten! Rotten can't be more rotten! It's an exaggeration to say that a three-year-old can make it, but a four-year-old child should have no problem making it! ”
"Minecraft" is indeed very bad, what can be good about a bunch of square pictures, the original "mc" picture is rotten, and in the hands of Zhou Xiao and aZx, the picture is even worse.
This is normal, after all, there is at least seven or eight years in between, and there is a Moore's Law in the computer thing, and that law is to the effect that computers double in size and double in performance every eighteen months......
(This law is actually inaccurate, but it's just a description, and there is no need to take it too seriously.) )
Seeing the picture of Zhou Xiao's game, the laughter of other people was even louder, the picture is the face of a game, how do you play the game like this? The character's head turned out to be square, a character, the number of polygons used on the body can be counted on one hand, such a game, is it still necessary to play?
The vast majority of people who saw Zhou Xiao's game screen even chose to change the channel, in their opinion, there is no need to watch it, so Zhou Xiao's approach is purely playing with fire, not only playing with fire in games, but also playing with fire when he takes it to the TV station to do the show, he will hit the ratings of the show, and "Flash Trip" is Zhou Xiao's first and only title program, it can be said that this is the foundation of him and aZx in the Japanese entertainment industry. The show is down, and his future path is in jeopardy.
Zhou Xiao's "Flash Trip MC Special" only received 5.6% of the ratings in the end. ranked among the lowest ratings of this year's show, and Zhou Xiao's game, people quickly lost interest after paying attention to it, and the only few people who were interested, the vast majority of them were just scolding, scolding Zhou Xiao for being an idiot, scolding aZx for being a stupid, and scolding this game that seemed to be so rotten that no one would play it at all.
Even inside the aZx. Questions arose about this game as well.
A good game usually has several elements, among them, playability, graphics and plot should be the three most important things in the game, but what about the game "MC"? The graphics of the game are really bad, and insiders know that this game has no plot or plot. A game, completely abandoning the two most important things, all that remains is the playability that is not favored at all, this game, is it worth Zhou Xiao to invite someone to open so solemnly?
Kindness? Wait, why isn't MC's playability favorable?
In fact. This is also quite normal.
Japan is a civilization that has produced many very famous games, but from now to the future, Japanese games and European and American games are very, very distinct branches.
Japanese games have a heavy story, and one game starts from start to finish. Almost all of them are connected with the plot, and this emphasis on the plot has even derived a kind called "a--V"g. Completely abandoning gameplay, it can almost be regarded as a game form of an illustrated e-novel. And European and American games are heavy on freedom.,After you come out of the novice area of many games.,No one cares about what you want to do.,If you have this interest.,You can even hang around the map all the time.,Do all kinds of branch quest plots.,Never care about the **oss that is alive and well.。 And European and American games are the real birth of "Minecraft", which is almost completely opposite to "a--V"g, completely abandoning the strange storage of gameplay.
Although such a game was born in the hands of Zhou Xiao, born in such Japan, Zhou Xiao never wanted to become popular in Japan when it was on sale, what he wanted, in addition to making money, was the impressive eyes of those who had scolded him when the game returned to Japan after its success.
If you want to prove that you are right, you can't use it, you must take action and have results.
Therefore, Zhou Xiao is still ignoring the opposition of the surrounding companies and TV stations, and is doing his own game special programs as usual, and he even puts game advertisements on other TV stations, he wants to let the current Japanese know that he Zhou Xiao has now made a bad game in your eyes, but this investment is probably only about one million yen in the game, which will bring Zhou Xiao hundreds of millions of dollars in returns!
Zhou Xiao didn't mind picking up the glasses that had fallen to the ground one by one when the audience was on the ground, and straightened their jaws that couldn't be closed because of surprise.
Good games are not just made behind closed doors, testing is also a very important science, not only that, when free online games are popular, testing has almost become a way to make money, all kinds of strange tests have been thought of, many companies' games from life to death, carefully calculated that they have not yet officially operated and gone through their own life course.
Zhou Xiao also had this idea, and the first test of "MC" soon began, the location was on the Internet, and the object was ...... Europeans and Americans.
Yes, Europeans and Americans are not Japanese, take the game of MC to the Japanese to test, and the result will only be a bad game review, the Japanese appreciate many things from a very different angle from the Europeans and Americans, from this point of view, they are actually far from the many people with a large population, the Chinese, or Chinese civilization can basically tolerate one of the world's other civilizations.
The test of "MC" is very simple, the game is not big, Zhou Xiao found a few fairly good game forums and websites to hang the game, and the beta version of the game is free of charge, so let the user play it however he wants.
Of course, promotion still has to be done, and the promotion that Zhou Xiao attaches the most importance to is, of course, the ratings of the two most important websites in Europe and the United States!
gamespot, Ign, these two very professional gaming sites, rate new games is the most important indicator for players to buy games.
After sending the game to the two game companies, everyone at aZx was anxiously waiting for the reviews and ratings from the two companies.
Is it a six? Or a seven? Or even seven and a half o'clock? Don't think that this score is low, basically a game. If it can be scored as a seven, it is already a very good game, and it ends up selling hundreds of thousands of copies. It's okay to earn a few million dollars, but a million dollars is more than a hundred times the revenue for aZx, which only spent a small amount of money to open a game!
It took a full week for the game to be sent to both sites before their reviews were finally published on the sites.
Zhou Xiao thought about it on his knees, and knew that the two websites must have had a dispute before the evaluation of this game, after all, this game was not like Zhou Xiao's previous life, which was officially sold after being tested by many players. It will take some time for the current reviewers of the two sites to find out that the game is really good.
"The overall table xiàn, five points. The game is still very rough, and there is too much information and tedious work to get tired. "On Ign, the first item of the score made everyone's hearts sink, five is not a high score, not even a passing grade. If the MC's score is at this pace, the company can start to think about how to recoup its investment.
"Picture table xiàn...... 8:05 a.m. ......"
Eight...... Eight-five? What the!? Many people are stupid when they see this score, a bunch of pixel blocks, can you get 8.5 points?
"The first time you see this game, it's very outdated and stupid, as if this game was only supposed to be in the mid-90s. But once you start to immerse yourself in the game, you'll learn that sometimes, the game's visuals don't depend on the details of the graphics. ”
Good...... It's amazing! The pixel block game can get an 8.5 point screen xiàn, which can be called magical.
"Sound effects. 7.o。 Not all games with a symphony of masterpieces are suitable, the right sound meter xiàn what you feel while playing. In that sense, Minecraft is good, and while the music is not complete yet, we're looking forward to hearing the music when the game goes on sale. ”
"The gameplay experience, 9.o. This game has a chance to be a great game, made of wood in a synthesis box, assembled is our dream."
Wow, that's a high rating, but this evaluation is not the end, Ign's final evaluation made everyone at aZx go crazy with excitement.
"Durability, 1o. If you don't like to play this game, then you must not like the feeling of creating a world, and the only reason why a person does not play this game is because he has lost his imagination."
Then, finally, ...... Minecraft is overall stable, with a score of 9.o and a game evaluation...... amazing!
There is no doubt that aZx has created another legend, a game that was only 16.5m when it was sent for review got a score of 9, and everyone who has followed this matter knows that aZx's game is ...... It's going to be on fire!
The reality speaks for itself.
Before Zhou Xiao hung the MC on the game website,Few people cared about it within a few days,Even if you write a good introduction,Many players have retreated when they see the picture that seems to stay five years ago,And the people who really play can come back to leave a message and evaluate it is a minority,Within a few days,The number of downloads of several websites MC turned out to be only in the early 13oos,As for the evaluation, there are only two。
One of them is an advertisement!
But after Ign commented separately and put the big score on the homepage of his website, everything changed.
As if in an instant, the number representing the number of game downloads began to beat like crazy, 5ooo, 2oooo, 70,000, 130,000...... In just half a day, the total number of downloads of Zhou Xiaoxian's game exceeded 300,000!
This is just the Ign review, and the market has basically not yet formed its own publicity and the results achieved before the evaluation in the hearts of players! The effect of IGN can be seen!
And after more users played the game, the game's reputation finally began to improve.
Players now, this is a game that can "create a zào world"! They are not just surviving in this world, they are creating a world!
IGN gave the game a 10-point replayability, which is no problem at all!
In fact, there are still many things that have not been updated in the beta version of the mc, such as the most important redstone function is only stored in the beta version for Ign, and the redstone thing is mnetbsp; aZx soon announced when the game will be officially launched for sale, July 8th. It was the same day as Zhou Xiao's single release time, but it was subtle. Few European and American players who mainly play games know that the owner of the company that made this game is a singer, and few people in Japan know that this game, which seems to have been scolded locally, will be sold on European and American forums on this day.
Selling games is such a thing, and it is already Zhou Xiao's limit to do this, and in the quarter that began in April in the last few days, Zhou Xiao's programs on the five major TV stations have finally come to harvest.
In addition to "ameta1k", he is just beginning to really participate in the production of zuò. TBs's "By the Way, Let's Go Travel" has received an average of 4,2 late-night high ratings, you must only know that except for the episode of Zhou Xiao and Qiu Yuanyasu, this show is only a regular half-hour program, and TBs is very encouraged to get this rating in the middle of the night, although they are not ready to move the program to the regular time soon, but it also increases the broadcast time of the film, and the original half-hour schedule was changed to one hour. The actual airtime is 44 minutes.
Of course, Zhou Xiao doesn't have to do everything for such a long time, basically, now he only needs to give a general concept, and the program team's own script writer can write a pretty good script.
As for "Divine Tongue", the ratings of this show are not high, but the reputation is good in some aspects. Variety shows can be evil, but it depends on what is the way for variety shows to refresh the lower limit, if you do the lower limit simply to cause people's "xiyu", then the value of this show is not high, and a show like "Divine Tongue". Its essence is to be funny and not those lower limits, and an evil program broadcast on the five major TV stations can only be broadcast with this premise. It's not that you can attract a large audience without a lower limit.
This "Divine Tongue" has done a very good job, most people feel that although this show has repeatedly refreshed its lower limit, its essence is still very interesting, the eleven episodes have been broadcast, and the plans made are also very powerful and fun, and there are many new things that are actually very conceptual and can be excavated in the show, which is the most valuable thing in this show.
These three programs are Zhou Xiao's new programs this quarter, and his old show "Flash Trip" also has a very good rhythm, Zhou Xiao will basically make certain modifications to the show every six months, this modification is actually adventurous, the audience is always nostalgic for the old, they will like the old things, and they will always talk about the previous things are better than the current ones, but it is also necessary to add more vitality to the show, otherwise you will have those who talk about the good things before, but the ratings are irretrievably declining.
In addition to the four variety shows, "The Man Who Can't Get Married" finally ushered in his twelfth episode finale.
The drama "The Man Who Can't Get Married", after being modified by Zhou Xiao, Abekuan's 4o-year-old man's side has decreased a lot, Zhou Xiao is still a young man in the end, and the content he added to the drama that originally belonged to films such as "The Big Bang Theory of Life" is widely regarded by the outside world as a young author's whimsy, and it is precisely because of these things that the outside world no longer evaluates his movie as "written by a 2O-year-old man, a crappy 4O-year-old man's play", And these things have also made this drama successfully attract more young audiences, and even gave the show the possibility of multi-season shooting, which can be regarded as killing multiple birds with one stone.
In the previous eleventh episode, the most watched drama in April this year has already received 22% ratings, which is a very powerful number, which makes everyone look forward to the ratings of the last episode.
And when the number finally came out, although it was not too high, it still scared many people.
27.9%, nearly 28% of the ratings plus the previous table xiàn, so that the overall ratings of this drama are about to catch up with the popular month nine of the previous season, the reason why it is so compared with the ninth month of this quarter is because the average rating of the ninth month of this quarter is only about 13%, this number is actually passing for other time periods, but if it is the ninth of the month, this number is very regrettable.
Zhou Xiao estimates that this rating, coupled with the repercussions it has caused in Japanese society, is estimated to be able to win a lot of Japanese drama awards this year.
Such good ratings became the final battle of Zhou Xiao's April file, and in a wave of praise, he ended the crazy performance of the five major TV stations this quarter.
Four variety shows, a Japanese drama also brought a lot of income to Zhou Xiao and aZx, in Japan, a not bad artist can get about 2o million yen in the last show, Zhou Xiao's current grade can no longer be considered good, in addition to the four programs in which he participates in the production of zuò, on other programs, the price of his announcement at one time reached an astonishing 5o million yen, and this figure is still slowly increased when Zhou Xiao did not deliberately raise the price, and he did not fight for the program team. This number can basically be compared with those mc with a lower price.,In the Japanese entertainment industry, not everyone can do MC.,MC is equal to a fixed program appearance.,Basically, this kind of work is given monthly rather than the number of times on the show money.,And Japanese variety shows are routinely starred,Generally speaking, the lowest price is a quarter of 2oo million yen.,This number is usually only given to those little idols who regularly star but are actually not famous and strong., Slightly qualified artists and funny artists earn more than this amount per quarter, like the current London boots, the Death Squad after the rain is young but as a prime-time prime-time program MC, Zhou Xiao is not convenient to ask how much he can get in a quarter, but it is estimated that there should be no problem with about 5oo thousand!
