Chapter 165: I want to learn a foreign language
Zhang Wei saw that "Resident Evil 1" sold eight million copies worldwide, and he was also relieved for his father. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The price of the triple-A masterpieces of this era is generally between 30-50 US dollars, and the price of "Resident Evil 1" in different countries and regions is also different, for example, in the Chinese region that will land in May, the price set by the Dragonborn company and the local distributor is only 129 yuan, which is lower than that in Russia, and it is less than 20 US dollars when converted into US dollars.
But even so, a game of more than 100 yuan is still too luxurious for China now, with the current consumption level of the Chinese people, this price will definitely not sell much, and there should not be many computers in China that can run this game.
However, the total sales of these 8 million copies of the original copy reached more than 300 million US dollars worldwide, although the Dragonborn company could only get more than 50% of the profit in the North American region where it distributed, because in addition to North America, the distributors and sellers everywhere together had to share about 70% of the profits.
But even if it suffers a lot of profits, Dragonborn can still get $150 million in revenue in the global market, and is expected to get about $250 million in sales by the end of the year.
Zhang Wei knows that the development cost of "Resident Evil 1" is not high, if you don't count the additional publicity expenses that have been added, the research and development funds of the game itself alone are less than five million US dollars, so the Dragonborn company can make at least more than 200 million US dollars on this game, which is enough for Zhang Mo to last until the release of the company's next game.
It can be said that the Dragonborn company has entered a virtuous circle after the big sale of "Resident Evil 1", as long as the "ICQ membership business" does not go wrong, they will not encounter the embarrassment of lack of funds in the future, and he can also temporarily put aside his worries and devote himself to his own game.
On April 2, the Lakers hosted the Charlotte Hornets, who had recently overturned.
The Hornets who came to Los Angeles this time were not as lucky as the last time, and the Lakers will not be double-beaten by such a team with a far inferior record at home.
The "Great Western Forum Arena" was full on the day of the game, and the current Lakers fans, including Lakers players, hope that they can finish second in the West in the final sprint in April.
Third in the West and second in the West may not seem like much of a difference, but they can determine who has home-court advantage in the divisional semi-finals.
The Lakers know very well that the superSonics, who are the top players in the Western Conference, have a good record this year, and other teams can't catch up with them no matter how much they sprint, so as long as they beat their opponents in the first round and enter the semifinals, it will definitely be a matchup with the Spurs.
Zhang Wei felt that with the strength of his team, there was a great hope of breaking through the first round.
Therefore, whether or not they have home court advantage against Spurs in the second round is likely to determine whether they can reach the division finals.
If he can reach the division finals in his first season, or even go further, the Lakers will not have a chance to take out the superSonics and make it to the Finals, then his place in history will be like riding a rocket.
This sweet spot is important for Zhang, and even if the Lakers don't win the championship in the end, as long as he can make it to the division finals, it will be enough to put himself on par with those Hall of Fame superstars.
If Zhang can really make it to the finals, then his place in history can be very high in the first season.
So, every game in April is a must-win game for him.
If the Lakers want to beat the Spurs this season, it will be difficult to win without home-court advantage, and the chances of winning will be very small, and they must grab the home-court advantage to be sure of beating the Spurs.
It is with the psychology of seizing home court advantage that today's Hornets make Zhang Fu Huohuo not good.
This is not only the desire for victory, Zhang Wei has chatted with Miss Feihong on ICQ in the past few days, of course, he used half of his Chinese blood to pester each other, kept asking about China-related topics, and even brazenly made a request to learn Chinese.
This excuse seems to have been used by him more than once.
As early as in Australia, he learned Cantonese from Zhang Baizhi, and later learned Chinese from Lin Xulei, and then learned Ukrainian from Miss Mila, and now he has to learn Mandarin again, it seems that he is very motivated to learn foreign languages.
However, this trick is very useful, using the guise of "learning Chinese" and "understanding China", he and Miss Feihong successfully narrowed the distance, and there are countless topics of communication, everything about China can be used as the direction of the two chat.
In today's game, Miss Feihong was watching the game on the spot.
Zhang Zhu's desire to perform was of course outrageous, and he was a little too heavy, and it only took three quarters to kill the Hornets and help the Lakers get off to a good start in April.
After the competition, he naturally wants to go to his coffee shop with his young sister to learn Chinese again, continue to understand the vast and profound Chinese culture, and - his goal is to master at least 12 languages, learning endlessly.
The next day, Zhang Fu, who had finished learning a foreign language, received good news that the "Player of the Month" announced by the league in March really mentioned his name.
To be honest, Zhang Fu had a hunch that he could win the award, because his performance this month was one of the best in the league, not to mention the 70+ that shocked the world.
It's been half a month since that match, but until now, many media will still mention his battle for the gods in March.
The "Battle of the Gods" is slightly exaggerated here, but Zhang Fu did make a name for himself in the world with his earth-shattering battle.
70 points in a single game is something that even Jordan has never done, and now he is a rookie who is only a month away from turning 19, and even Chamberlain said afterwards, "If anyone can break my 100-point record in the future, it must be Koala Baby", which is also an evaluation that even Jordan has never received.
That battle even affected the finale of "Slam Dunk", originally Inoue Yuhiko wanted Xiangbei to defeat Sanno Industries.
But after this battle, he really couldn't draw a plot that made the villain based on Zhang Yu lose the game, and in the end it could only be that Xiangbei was killed by Lyon, the core of Shanwang Industry.
This can't be helped, the villain in the comics based on Zhang Zhu is a sophomore in high school, aged 16 years old, but Zhang Zhu in reality is only 18 years old, if two 16-year-old Japanese high school freshmen are eliminated, this is too unreasonable, and it is a little too contemptuous of the NBA.
Besides, winning or losing the battle in Xiangbei will not affect the final plot, it is better to lose, otherwise even the Japanese who worship the strong will feel too fake.
After Zhang Zhu won the first career Player of the Month, the reserve of competitive points instantly approached 20,000 points, because he not only broke the record of the youngest player of the month to win the best player, but also never had an example in the history of the NBA to win the "Player of the Month" in the first season, Zhang Zhu broke more than one record.
The NBA's "Player of the Month" award has only been established since 1979, and Chamberlain and other ancient monsters did not have this selection in their rookie season, otherwise he would not have broken this record.
But even if the award of the month was born 20 years earlier, the record of "youngest" will definitely be broken by Zhang Mao!
There is no doubt about that, as he is already recognized as the best high school player in NBA history.
Moses Malone was considered the strongest high school student in the NBA before Zhang Ju was born, but if compared with the current Zhang Ju, the two will be judged superiorly.
On the same day, the Lakers played back-to-back games against the Cleveland Cavaliers at home, and Zhang Yu brought his own obscenity of winning the Player of the Month award, and under the live viewing of Charlize Theron, who ended the filming of the movie, he once again went too hard and took out the opponent in only three quarters.
"It's not okay to go on like this, how can you brush the data after only three quarters?"
Zhang Qi saw Charlize Theron, who he hadn't seen for a long time, come to see his game today, and his heart was excited, and he couldn't hold back his strength in his hands.
Charlize Theron has been busy filming "Two Days in the Valley" in recent months, and although she often finds time to watch Zhang Mao's games in front of the TV, she doesn't have time to watch the game live.
Zhang Zhu's impression of this girl who was extremely amazing at first sight at that time is now getting more and more distant, because there are too many girls around him, and this girl, who is also a little cold and arrogant, has always had a relationship with him similar to Miss Feihong, and the two have more simple idolatry components.
The same is true of Sister Lin who is studying in Toronto at the moment, this young lady's idol is Leslie Cheung, but it doesn't mean that she will have anything to do with Leslie Cheung.
Charlize Theron's idol is him, but it also doesn't mean that something has to happen to the two.
Unless, they really have fate, or there is interference from external forces.
Not to mention, the fate of the two is really not much.
However, Zhang Yu has enough external forces to create an opportunity for the two to meet.
After the Lakers defeated the Cavaliers at home, Zhang Zhu took the initiative to arrange a marriage.
During this time, as his fame grew, there were more and more franchisees of "Minotaur Cafe", and he himself did open some directly operated stores in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, etc. At present, in the Los Angeles area alone, there are nearly ten franchise and direct stores that are ready to open or have already opened, and there are many stores in preparation in other major cities, and most of them are Chinese and Asian.
Needless to say, these people have seen the opportunities brought by Zhang Zhu's fame, as long as there is Zhang Zhu's boss, the future "Minotaur Cafe" will definitely become a world-renowned global chain coffee company, and it is definitely better to join early than late.
Miss Lin Xilei is very happy now, because this chain coffee company was established by Zhang Qi for the meeting of the two, which is very commemorative, but it is not inappropriate to say that she is the proprietress of the company. Although this sister Lin only has 10% dry shares for 20 years, it will also be a lot of wealth in the future.
Now, with the expansion of the company, the Minotaur Cafe is in urgent need of commercial promotion, and shooting advertisements is an indispensable way to promote at this time.
Zhang Mao already has some plans for this, and plans to shoot an advertisement for his café next month, "copywriting" of course has to figure out by himself, in this regard he has always disliked using other people's creativity, he can come up with good copywriting himself.
Now, he has selected the heroine in the advertisement in advance, but it is not the proprietress Lin Xulei.
Eighty percent of the franchisees of the "Minotaur Cafe" are Asians and Chinese, and if they even use a Chinese for advertising, it is easy for white people to resist, so she can't let the proprietress go into battle in person.
Among Zhang Fu's girls, the softest and most obedient at present is Miss Lin Xulei, who naturally won't have sex with him-
Lin Xulei: Appearance 87 (86) ↑, age 20 years old, height 168cm, weight 99 pounds, number of snaps: 35 times, number of snaps: 1 person, pop success rate 80%.
Favor: 89 (85) ↑
Jealousy: 60 (68) ↓
Submissive: 80 (76) ↑
Craving: 58 (65) ↓
Debauchery: 49 (54) ↓
Tada: 86 (84) ↑
Prestige: 0-
Media attention: 0-
Miss Lin Xulei has been completely attacked, and the most desperate person for Zhang Zhu at present, in addition to his genuine girlfriend Zhang Baizhi, is his first fan Lin Xulei, who is also the two sisters who have followed him for the longest time.
But it didn't work, the low-quality Zhang Yan had already chosen Charlize Theron to be the heroine of the advertisement, and he was not worried about the resistance of white people, he just wanted to create an opportunity for the two to get to know each other.
Now the two have not officially met, just like the state of him and Miss Feihong before.
"It's a pity that South Africa is also an English-speaking region, otherwise I would have been able to learn one more foreign language."
Zhang Qian thought that South Africa is also an English-speaking country, and felt a little regretful in her heart, knowing that learning a foreign language is the best way to pick up a conversation.
