Chapter 58 No matter how fast 86 is, it can't catch up with Mercedes
The pre-sale launched by Honghuang Studio is much more popular than expected.
It's only been a week.
More than 20,000 copies were sold.
Although it is not as exaggerated as "Monster Hunter", it is already a very good result as a pre-sale.
This made Lao Song and the heart of the Liming team finally let go completely.
"More than 20,000 copies were sold in the pre-sale alone, is this really a racing game we made?"
An old employee said with some disbelief.
After working hard for so long, are they finally going to break the curse of racing games that must die?
"Is it possible that the game hasn't been launched yet, and they're actually going for CG animation?"
Unexpectedly, another employee suddenly poured a basin of cold water.
The faces of the people who were still excited turned pale, and they all threw unhappy glances at him.
The employee's neck shrunk, and he only felt a chill on his body.
"Okay, as long as the game is sold, it doesn't matter what kind of publicity he uses." Lao Song on the side stood up to relieve the siege.
For him, it doesn't matter what method he uses to promote it, as long as the game is sold.
After all, it's all real money.
Who would be afraid of having a lot of money when they come out to do business?
The only thing that gives him a headache now is the situation on the customer service side.
Because Chen Lin didn't release all the CG animations, but left the climax of the last six episodes, which will not be until the game is officially released.
The last three episodes require entering the game and clearing specific levels before they can be unlocked.
This can keep the customer service busy.
Almost every day, a large number of netizens called to scold the street, so he had to recruit a few more customer service to come in.
"Alas, it seems that the game can only be launched as soon as possible, you can do the last test work, and then send an announcement to inform players that it will be released tomorrow at noon."
"Roger!"
"Understood!"
In response, the employees returned to their seats and began the intense testing work.
......
And at this time.
After a week of fermentation.
The follow-up plot of "Initial D" was also gradually revealed, and the entire comment area was so lively.
[Damn!] The song in this anime is poisonous! I drove while listening, but I drove to 120 yards unknowingly, and was stopped by the traffic police. Wait online, hurry! 】
[Hahaha buddy, I'm the same as you.,When I turned it on, I suddenly learned to have an inertial drift in the animation.,Now people are already on a drip.] 】
[Are you as miserable as me? The new car I just mentioned went straight into the ditch. 】
[No matter how fast 86 is, you can't catch up with the girl who loves to sit in Mercedes. (Dog's Head)】
[Natsuki, I'm going to start accelerating! 】
If you say that the person who has watched this animation the most is the old driver.
Even many professional drivers came here and uploaded their own drift videos imitating animations, attracting a large number of netizens to watch.
Among them are the five masters and apprentices who have cooperated with Hong Huang before.
"Master, look! The number of broadcasts has risen again, and it is almost over 500,000! ”
In the team's lounge, the youngest apprentice shouted and looked excitedly at the playback data on the computer.
"Okay, okay, stop screaming, I'll watch."
The master sat on the side and smoked a cigarette, his eyes glued to the screen, and the white cigarette took one puff after another.
You can feel his hands trembling.
It's just that he is introverted and doesn't show it.
Originally, he was strongly opposed to this at first.
But as time passed, he gradually realized that he was wrong, and he was wrong.
Now is the era of high-speed development of the Internet.
It is undoubtedly very unwise to blindly follow the old ways and only develop in a narrow racing circle, especially for a team like them that does not have much reputation.
Exhaling a puff of white smoke, he finally spoke slowly: "It's decided, in the future, the team will be transformed, take the self-media route, and everyone will shoot a little more material when they practice, and then make a video and upload it." ”
"Really?"
"Great!"
"Long live the master!"
Except for the big apprentices, the team is basically a relatively fashionable young man.
Hearing that the master made this decision, he immediately cheered loudly, and the entire lounge was once again in a state of excitement.
But I didn't notice.
They follow under the account of the Honghuang Studio.
A new story has been quietly updated.
......
"What do you say? A new game over there is about to be released? ”
Huanhai Group Headquarters.
Zeng Fuming, who was sitting in the office, received the news of the release of the new racing game in the wilderness for the first time.
"Yes, Hong Huang has just issued a new announcement, saying that the ban will be officially lifted at noon tomorrow." An employee's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's only been a few months, and that's a little too fast." Zeng Fuming's brows furrowed.
Ever since he lost the vote at the last exhibition, he has always remembered the studio that popped up, but he was too busy to pay attention to it.
I didn't expect it.
It's only been just over half a year.
They made Monster Hunter and then a new racing game, and they grew so fast that even he couldn't ignore it.
And I don't know if it's an illusion.
He always felt that this studio had been working against them.
Every time they release a new game, there's always the studio, and it's like a ghost.
But he didn't remember that he had a friction with a person named Chen Lin.
"Am I mistaken?"
Zeng Fuming shook his head and shook off these messy thoughts.
"Forget it, now the board of directors is talking to the people above about financing, and a large amount of money will definitely be allocated to quickly occupy the market, but I don't have time to take care of these small studios."
Although the capital is not expected to officially enter until the end of the year.
But now, a small number of people have begun to lay out behind the scenes, negotiating financing with major game manufacturers.
Wait until a large amount of money flows into the market.
All kinds of games are bound to explode in a blowout, and the pressure of competition will be great.
Therefore, many manufacturers laughed at Honghuang for being too stupid to release a new game at this time.
Doing so does gain a short-lived advantage.
But at that time, all the manufacturers are releasing new games, and you can't come up with them, you can't attract players, what kind of competitiveness is there?
"Laughing to death, do they really don't understand or fake don't understand? Shouldn't you hold a game in your hands first? ”
"After all, it has not been established for a long time, and I don't know how to observe the market trend, so it's still too tender."
"I guess I want to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune quickly, and it's actually understandable to do so."
"How good can a racing game be made in such a short period of time? Tomorrow we'll wait to see their jokes. ”
For Hong Huangxuan to release a new game at this time node, almost all manufacturers are not very optimistic, thinking that they are too rushed.
And it's in this eerie atmosphere.
The day of the official release of Need for Speed has finally arrived.
