Chapter 322 Making money
The show's director is clearly one of those people who doesn't pay much attention to games.
Several young people in the conference room nodded.
"His game has been very popular these days, and it has been all over the B station."
"When I came here, I was on the subway and looked at the B station hot list, and it was full of videos related to his games."
The director of the B station program still knows about it.
Now almost everyone knows that the Spring Festival Gala is about to fall into a state of chronic death, and CCTV is also seeking change internally, and a major focus of the change is to attract young people.
So he would occasionally go to Bilibili, a platform populated by many young people, to look for inspiration and materials.
With some curiosity and confusion, he took out his mobile phone, found site B and opened it to see how popular it was.
Then I found out it was indeed a bit high.
"This new game from Wu Mu is so addictive. Once you start playing it, you can't stop."
As soon as he opened Bilibili, Wu Mu’s game live broadcast was pushed to his homepage.
He usually doesn't post anything related to games, but he was pushed to it.
Moreover, the live broadcast room of this anchor named Lao Fan has an exaggerated popularity of over 6 million, with at least 500,000 or 600,000 people watching.
This is an extremely rare number for the live streaming platform B.
Lao Fan himself also felt something strange.
He has detailed data in his background, with more than 6 million fans and 570,000 online viewers.
It is basically the highest except for the official live broadcast room.
More than half a year ago, he was just a small-time anchor with only tens of thousands of followers. It was considered impressive if he could get a thousand people to come to his live broadcast.
Then, ever since Mingyu Game's game show paid attention to Wu Mu, everything started to become different.
Because he has a liking for stars like Wu Mu who can make games, he often takes everyone to watch Wu Mu's various news and programs when he has free time after broadcasting the game.
Then he discovered that the news and programs broadcast by Wu Mu were often much more popular than his serious game broadcasts.
Especially when there is a rhythm, that frequently puts him at the top of the hit list.
Then, after more than half a year of frequent changes, he somehow became a big game anchor on Bilibili.
He glanced at everyone's comments on the barrage:
"What's Wu Mu? People call it Wu Gou!"
"Shout Wu Mu, are you a fan of Wu Gou? The host below has unfollowed me."
"Hahahaha, I'm dying of laughter. Don't hurt Lao Fan. We can scold Wu Gou as much as we want. How can he, a live broadcaster, dare to say that?"
Everyone is talking about "dogs and dogs" all the time, but in fact, they all run over to see other people's new works as soon as they come out.
Not to mention Wu Mu himself, even I, a host who often broadcasts his content, would be pushed to the top 100 by you "black fans".
Lao Fan thought silently in his heart, and did not respond, but said with some emotion, "I think his game mechanism has great potential. This form of random rewards plus mowing monsters has great potential. Those who make games in the live broadcast room may try this direction."
"Of course, I guess many people have already thought of this without me saying anything. After all, a game that sold over million copies in just one day is something that everyone in the gaming industry can see."
More than million copies?
The program director looked surprised, "He sold so many copies of this game?"
The program planner who first proposed it understood it very well. "Yes, he hasn't announced the total sales volume yet, but according to the data estimated by a third-party platform, it is at least million copies. However, nearly 3 million of them are pre-sold, which means that more than 3 million copies have been sold in less than two days since it was launched."
"How much does his game cost?" the program director couldn't help but ask.
"It was 28 yuan per copy during the pre-sale crowdfunding, and 35 yuan per copy for the official version."
The pre-sale volume is 28,3 million sets, which is more than 84 million, and the official version is 35, which is more than 110 million.
Adding together, it’s close to 200 million.! ?
This is too outrageous.
The program director quietly exited the live broadcast room and went to check the hot list on Bilibili.
Then I found that it was just as my subordinates said, it was all on the hot list.
Among the top twenty hot lists, eight or nine are related to Wu Mu games.
There are three main directions: live game broadcast, game content introduction, and editing of overseas anchors' reactions to the game.
The program director looked at the video ranked third on the hot list, "A game made by a celebrity is the biggest surprise in cultural output this year?" and clicked on it directly.
This video mainly edits and translates the footage of overseas anchors.
When you click in, you will see a dense barrage of comments.
"As soon as I saw the title, I knew it was definitely a game made by Wu Gou. And there's a celebrity involved. Apart from Wu Gou, which other celebrity would be so distracted from his job and make a game?"
"Here it comes, here it comes, it's time for my favorite allies' surprise segment again!"
"Noon Dog Games is really popular. Not only is there a lot of live broadcasts on Bilibili, but there are also a lot of live broadcasts on Douyin and Douyu. And now when you click on a game live broadcast room, the comments are all telling you to play Vampire Survivor."
The overall atmosphere of the barrage is not bad, but there are also quite a few people who feel unhappy.
"Isn't this title exaggerated? I know that Noon Dog Games has sold a lot of games, but what does it have to do with cultural output?"
"Yes, I know there are many foreign anchors playing on YouTube, but this game is about vampires and demons, and has no Chinese elements at all. Can it be considered cultural export?"
These people think that if you broadcast this game, people won't get any new understanding of China at all. You can say that the game is popular, but it doesn't make sense to say it is cultural export.
However, there was an immediate response from the barrage.
"After watching it, I'll come back and say that it's really a cultural output. Before watching it, I thought it was a clickbait title, but after watching it, I found that it was not nonsense at all."
Ok?
The program director watched the video with a little curiosity.
The video content is the footage of various anchors on YouTube playing this game.
The up-host thoughtfully made translated subtitles and picture materials to introduce who each anchor is and how many fans they have.
There are indeed many more than imagined. They are all big anchors with millions of fans, and there are even two top anchors with tens of millions of fans.
There's nothing much to say about the game's graphics, and it's not the first time for everyone to play video games.
Although the game Vampire Survivor is fun, it is not amazing. It is just that the gameplay is very strong and it is easy to get addicted once you start playing.
Gameplay, pioneering, addictive, and fun are basically the high-frequency words that these anchors use.
If that were all, it wouldn't really be considered cultural output. People would just be playing a recent high-selling game normally.
But if you add .
Uncle Mark, a top anchor on YouTube with more than 20 million fans, lamented in the video that the game was too addictive. Every time he finished a game, he thought that if he had got better props, he would definitely be able to last longer.
Then he seemed to have glanced at everyone's comments on the game.
"This game is indeed fun, but the most surprising thing about this game is the author. He is a superstar in China, and his fame in China is almost the same as our Leonardo."
"Yes, the game author is a super handsome guy."
Ok?
A game made by a superstar?
What kind of combination is this?
Foreign anchors have obviously never seen this before.
And if it was just this, it might not arouse his interest, at most he would just listen to it as a curiosity. But the title of super handsome guy made him a little bit unbearable.
He also looked at how handsome this guy was, he could be called a super handsome guy!
He simply opened the search engine and started searching for Wu Mu's information.
Then, with a search, the Wikipedia created by Han fans for Wu Mu appeared on his computer screen.
Looking at the photo of the character on the encyclopedia, Uncle Mark, who was originally unconvinced, was stunned.
The audience in his live broadcast room, who were originally just curious about the show, directly flooded the screen with comments.
"Houshette, this is the game author!?"
"What does the game author look like?"
Wu Mu's current appearance is that of a person born in the 90s. You can clearly feel that his appearance is a level higher than that of ordinary celebrities, and he is very conspicuous.
A game author who is also a superstar and a handsome guy immediately attracted everyone's interest.
The barrage was immediately refreshed, asking Mark to search and see this person's works.
As a host, Mark would naturally not go against the advice of his parents, so he immediately started searching and checking.
This is real cultural output.
The program director watched for a while and found that many anchors who tried the game had such a segment.
It’s normal to think about it. After all, it is really explosive and it’s hard not to be curious and watch the fun.
The program director looked around and silently turned off the video.
Indeed, as the previous program planner said, whether from the perspective of attracting young people, or from the perspective of personal achievements and popularity, as well as the heat generated overseas, there is no reason not to invite this person.
Even in terms of personal ethics, according to the rumors he had heard, this person seemed to be much cleaner in private than other stars, and there were no rumors of him having affairs.
but.
The program director hesitated for a while and said, "Let's contact Wu Mu and ask him if he has any suitable programs. Put him in the reserve group first and we'll see later."
"They asked me if I had a suitable program to perform on the Spring Festival Gala. I was selected into the reserve group?"
Wu Mu was stunned when he heard Shi Wu's contact.
How did the idea of performing on the Spring Festival Gala suddenly come up?
Didn’t I say before that there’s no hope if your personality is too eccentric?
However, he naturally doesn't mind getting some points if he can be on the show. Although the popularity of the Spring Festival Gala has been declining year after year, the audience crowd is still there, so he will definitely get some points by being on the show.
He thought for a moment and said, "Let me think about whether there is any suitable song. I will get back to you."
It is naturally most convenient for him to sing on the Spring Festival Gala. It would be completely ineffective for him to participate in any other language programs. After all, the Spring Festival Gala will not give him any performances.
After adding this to his to-do list, Wu Mu was also checking the results of the official version of his game.
Excluding pre-sales, he was quite surprised that the film sold more than three million copies in less than two days.
Although the sales of this game on all platforms exceeded 10 million in the previous life on Earth, the game did not perform well in the early stage on Earth, and it only exploded later.
"It's probably because I'm very popular, and I used the performance card to lay the foundation."
he guessed.
People tend to follow the herd mentality. Things like sales rankings and popularity rankings are naturally able to attract additional users. With those people attracted by his performance card helping to spread the word, it is normal for the game's performance to start more explosively.
“I just don’t know if the overall results can match Earth’s sales.”
After closing the background of the game platform, he casually opened his Weibo account, intending to see what was going on under the Weibo account.
The news is naturally very good.
"Okay, okay, Wu Gou, you really made the game before the end of the year. I promised you that if you make it, I will support you with ten albums. I've already bought them."
"Is this the result of Sun Yueqing's help in urging you? As expected, you still need to find someone around you to urge you!"
"Well done! You've earned a month of free-spraying privileges in my heart!"
But despite all the good news, there are also some minor noises.
"I'm happy that you released the game by the end of the year, so when will the update be?"
"Yeah, these few maps only take about 30 to 40 hours to complete. When will we make new maps and new content?"
"I order you to quickly create new DLC content! Stop being a star with no future! How much money do you make as a star in a year? Making games can make 200 million in a day!"
A game is not finished after the official version is released, it also requires long-term maintenance and updates.
Game players have begun urging Wumu to create newer content.
Not only did they use threats, they also bribed us.
"As long as you can release a major new version before the middle of next year, we will allow you to be a star and buy your albums to support you! Otherwise, don't blame us for joining your haters in attacking you!"
renew?
I just finished the official version, can't I take a break?
Wu Mu muttered to himself, not taking the noise seriously at all.
Well, he thought that before updating the official version, he might be able to create a workshop interface first, so that players can help him update.
While making his schedule, Wu Mu found that he had a lot of things to do recently.
Not only do I have to film, but I also have to think about the program for the Spring Festival Gala, and I haven't attended any offline activities of Yameng Company yet.
The legendary voice will also be recording soon.
Wang Ren and his team’s project may be launched at any time.
All I can say is that as my fame grows, it’s inevitable that more and more jobs will come to me.
Wu Mu shook his head and decided to take fewer new jobs recently.
Just as they were talking about the live show, the new recording of Legendary Voice was about to begin.
They sent people to fly to the Southern Province.
The leader
"Honey Arthur."
(Hello)
The pretty girl with a ponytail bowed to him in a serious manner.
Wu Mu was speechless, "Speak human language."
The pretty girl seemed to be thinking hard, "It's new, it's new, ermak, it's not good enough"
(Me, your, music, partner Lu.)
Then as I was speaking I forgot the words and couldn't continue.
After clenching her fists and holding back for a few seconds, she skipped the question vaguely and asked excitedly, "Xiao Wu, how is my Korean? Can I go to Korea to record a show?"
Wu Mu looked up at the sky and said, "That's a good point. Don't say it again next time."
Yes, the person who came was Lu Yao, whom I hadn’t seen for a while.
