Chapter 213: The Players' Gluttonous Feast (Asking for Tickets)

It was the Dragons and Sega competitors who were hit, and after the celebration, countless Sega game fans enjoyed a sumptuous feast of the game!

During the summer vacation, all the arcade rooms in the country were updated and purchased Sega's new arcade game "Three Kingdoms - Battle of Red Cliffs".

What makes arcade hall owners vomit blood is that this kind of substrate needs to be purchased 2 pieces at the same time, and the price is twice as expensive as before, which is really enough to cheat!

But what made them even more excited was that the arcade's daily turnover had more than doubled before!

Savvy shopkeepers have discovered that not all of them like to play the King of Fighters jishu character fighting game.

At least more than half of them do not have a quick reflexes, a lightning-fast way of thinking, or the determination to study hard and practice PKjishu.

In the arcade hall, the people who dominate the King of Fighters game are always a fixed group of people, and more players still tend to be side-scrolling games such as famous generals and samurai of the round table.

This time, there is one more battle of red cliffs in the side-scrolling game.,The general game hall owner bought 2 online games.,Players are not enough.,Those slightly larger arcade halls in big cities,4,6!

In an ordinary town in Kanagawa, in the only arcade arcade, two arcade machines placed side by side are filled with waiting players.

"Eight...... Yaga! A student-like player hatefully pounded the button panel, he pressed the button just 0.1 seconds late, and he lost the role of Sun Shangxiang!

"Ahhahah! I'm a genius! The guy who chose Sun Shangxiang danced and shouted loudly, ignoring the eyes of the people around him who wanted to strangle him. Shouted: "Haha! With me here, you don't want to grab my goddess! ”

"This guy is amazing...... Every time I see him playing games these days. can grab Sun Shangxiang! ”

"He's so lucky?"

"I guess it's not luck, maybe it has something to do with skill, right?"

"Huh? There are still skills in selecting people? ”

"You don't know! "Game-Freak" magazine vaguely mentions the coin-insertion rules of Sega games......"

A group of people stood in the back and talked about it. And this guy who said that there are rules was praised like a god: "Tell me, what are the rules?" ”

"It is said...... After casting 4 coins, the cursor of the first button automatically fell on Guan Yu, the second fell on Zhang Fei, the third was Zhao Yun, and the fourth was Gan Ning. So if you press it at the same time, if you want to choose Sun Shangxiang, everyone has to flick the joystick once. But when everyone is toggling at the same time. All cursors will move right at the same time, so the best chance of winning is the fourth person! ”

"! Who can guarantee that the four of them will press the button together and stick together? ”

"That's it! Speaking of cursor focus, I say that the first talent has the greatest chance! You kid owes a beating! ”

"Hey! I've heard about it too, so if you don't believe it, forget it! ”

"Don't mess around, boy!"

“……”

A mess arose, if not for anything else, just to grab the role of Sun Shangxiang, many people would rather surround the position of 4P. Stand for an hour!

In addition, players who are tired of playing The King of Fighters also come to join in the fun, these people are fanatical martial arts supporters, and they have already played the fire dance thousands of times, and they don't bother to snatch Sun Shangxiang at all. Instead, they comfortably obey Guan Zhang and Zhao to choose one of the three and show off their 10-hit combo skills!

For these semi-professional martial arts specialists, make a note of the order in which combos are controlled. Easily play a series of moves, even if it is 4 players online and increase the difficulty. They don't care at all, and they are pursuing 1 coin to clear customs. It's cool to play!

Masters play jishu, ordinary people grab beautiful women, in the arcade game hall in the summer file, each one is a hot business, and there are a lot of people!

The popularity of the arcade hall was in Yang Yun's expectations, and the popularity of the theater was really unexpected, and the series of outbreaks brought by the Pokemon movie made him feel scared!

Celebrated on July 11 and premiered nationwide at 0:00 a.m. on the 12th, "Mewtwo's Counterattack" was simultaneously released in 1,740 theaters out of 2,400 theaters across Japan.

With the dual call of Hayao Miyazaki's movies and Pokemon games, the premiere was hard to find, and young people were willing to queue up to buy tickets, all wanting to watch this long-awaited blockbuster for the first time.

Yang Yun and Hayao Miyazaki Hisaishi and others came to the Tokyo Quanshi Cinema after the anniversary celebration and saw this hot scene.

"An anime movie can make so many people queue?" Yang Yun looked at his watch, 11:20 p.m.

"Yang, that's what Japanese people use as entertainment in their daily lives, anime, games, and music." Hayao Miyazaki introduced: "These young people, I'm afraid they have been queuing for three hours. ”

Several people dressed up as ordinary customers, looking at the hundreds of meters of the team, their hearts were full of joy and satisfaction, this is the sense of accomplishment of their works being recognized, liked, and praised.

"How long have you been in line?" Yang Yun couldn't help but ask the people in the middle of the team.

A young man with a freckled face excitedly said, "I've been here since 8 o'clock!" ”

Yang Yun smacked his tongue, sure enough, after standing for so long for three hours, he was quite excited!

He asked the young couple standing behind him again: "Are you also fans of Pokemon?" ”

The boy took out a handheld and said, "Yes! You see, we're always carrying a GameGear with us! ”

The girl laughed happily: "We have been waiting for this day for a whole year!" Hayao Miyazaki's work has always been so exciting, even if we have to wait another 3 hours, we are willing! ”

Yang Yun could only return to Miyazaki's side with emotion and shrugged: "Or you have more fans, everyone is here for your movie!" ”

Everyone laughed, and then went to the ticket office together and consulted a manager on duty.

"Sorry guys! Tickets for the Pokemon premiere are sold out, and those customers who have bought tickets are lining up at the entrance, waiting to enter! The manager pointed to the entrance of the theater, it turned out that there were a large number of other people, standing and sitting, and it was nearly half an hour before the screening started, and these people couldn't help but be excited, and there was a little commotion in the crowd.

"So what's the queue here?" Yang Yun pointed to the long dragon of more than 100 meters, which seemed to be hundreds of people larger.

The manager replied: "Since there is no overnight show, these people should be customers who are ready to buy the fifth show at 11 am on the 12th!" ”

"......" Yang Yun was speechless, this is the fifth show, those customers who grabbed the premiere and the first four must have left, there are still so many customers on the scene, and while they are talking, there are still people pouring in, which can only be said that it is indeed difficult to get a ticket.

"Pre-sale of the fifth Pokemon show starts at 11 am on the 12th!" The conductor shouted loudly, and everyone was in good spirits, and they lined up to pay in an orderly manner.

Yang Yun and the others smiled at the manager and quietly left here, but everyone's face was full of joy that could not be hidden.

Quanshi Cinema is only one in 1740, and in the big city of Tokyo, the scale is not ranked at all, so it can attract at least 2,000 people who are willing to stay up late and queue up to buy tickets, it can only be said that the popularity of this movie definitely exceeds Yang Yun's imagination.

Weekly box office, total box office, these are the two most important data for the movie, and this is also Miyazaki's answer score, and everyone is staring nervously.

In the next week, "Mewtwo's Counterattack" received 3.94 billion yen at the weekly box office in Japan, and until it went offline, it won a total of 9.85 billion yen at the box office, and Studio Ghibli's actual revenue was 5.42 billion yen, "Mewtwo's Counterattack" became the highest-grossing animated film in Japanese history!

This data shocked the Japanese film industry, and it also shocked the gaming industry!

You must know that Hayao Miyazaki's "Witch Courier Service" filmed the year before last had a total box office of 3.91 billion yen, and the box office of "My Neighbor Totoro" was less than 600 million, and now the 9.85 billion yen "Mewtwo's Counterattack" directly created the highest box office record, leaving the original No. 1 Witch Courier Service far behind, and the robot cat series with the highest box office of 3.65 billion yen is far behind!

According to the exchange rate, Studio Ghibli's distribution revenue is about 40 million US dollars, which really doesn't seem like much, but it represents an important significance, that is, if the game sells well, the movie will also be a big success!

The horror box office of nearly 10 billion yen has made Pokemon quickly popular in the hearts of the people and truly become a national pet in Japan, and many game production companies have decided to increase their investment in this type of game.

With cute looks, simple gameplay, rich gameplay, and a good platform, most companies think they can make similar games and make a lot of money on movies.

The most exciting, of course, is Square Enix.

Masashi Miyamoto and Hironobu Sakaguchi looked at the box office statistics and were dumbfounded, but they also thought of something, and that was Final Fantasy filmmaking!

"President, the Pokemon game is selling well, and the box office of the movie is so high, this is a good example for us!"

Hironobu Sakaguchi was thrilled and continued, "Pokemon are still a children's game genre, and our Final Fantasy is much more popular than them, and I'm sure that as long as we invest in R&D on action CG, we will definitely reap the rewards!" ”

Masashi Miyamoto gasped and tried to calm down, indeed, an anime can earn 40 million US dollars, and this is not counting the North American market, if nothing else, it must be another 40 million!

With hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue, who doesn't blush? Final Fantasy is Square Enix's signature game, as long as they carefully prepare, increase CG special effects, and control the shooting themselves, and invest by themselves, it should be easy to break through $100 million in profits around the world!
