Let you make games, you directly shoot blockbusters?

In just one week.

The popularity of "Sekiro" completely exploded.

As long as one clicks into the live broadcast room of the game area of ​​each major platform, you can hear all kinds of iron strikes, as well as cursing and yelling.

unknown.

I thought the anchors had changed their careers to become blacksmiths.

And with the continuous efforts of the anchors who first entered the game, the whole story of "Sekiro" also surfaced.

turn out to be.

The place where the protagonist lives is a cursed country.

In ancient times, a giant dragon named Yinglong fled here due to serious injuries, and has taken root here ever since.

Yinglong's body contains powerful immortal power.

Because of the injury, this power leaked from the wound, polluting the surrounding water sources, and allowing the nearby residents to obtain the power of immortality, also known as the power of dragon Yin.

So people built Yuanzhi Palace at the source of the water, and worshiped Sakura Dragon as a god.

Obtaining immortality comes at a price.

The longer the time, the more obvious the mutation will be, and in the end it will even become a monster with neither human nor ghost.

Don't talk about losing your mind.

The body will also be eroded and controlled by various poisonous insects.

However, even so, people are still frantically pursuing immortality and looking for ways to obtain eternal life, and Genichiro is one of them.

He wanted to obtain the power of immortality, so that the strongest man in the country, his grandfather, could obtain eternal life.

In this way, their country will never perish.

But there is only one person in the whole world who has the power of immortality and will not mutate, and that is the son of God who has obtained part of the power of Yinglong, the boy served by the protagonist.

The story in the game also unfolds from here.

"So that's the case. I said why this guy keeps staring at a boy and arrests him again and again. It turns out that he wants to make his grandfather immortal and keep this country."

After watching the online game plot excavation, Old E couldn't help admiring.

Unexpectedly, there is such a huge background story behind this game that tortured me to death.

No wonder the monsters encountered later became more and more distorted.

He couldn't help but recall the sentence on the Honghuang propaganda poster.

[Is eternal life really lucky? 】

He didn't know what it was when he first saw it before, but now he finally understands.

really.

Immortality sounds like a good thing.

But if you think about it carefully, isn't it a curse?

Seeing relatives and friends leave one by one, times change, and the loneliness of being abandoned by the world is not what ordinary people can experience.

Pull the interface to the bottom, and comments follow.

【Small Ichiro is a real man, it's a pity that he used the wrong method. 】

【does it matter? It doesn't stop him from taunting you. (laugh)】

【highly recommended! This game is low in difficulty, with few buttons, suitable for handicapped parties, and it is easy to pass the level with one life. 】

[I bought it for my child, I agreed to study for five minutes at a time, and now I have been admitted to Peking University. 】

[Why do I now see the word for death a bit like the word for dish? 】

【roll! Get the hell out of my computer! 】

Looking at the comments below, even the old E was amused.

It turned out that he was not the only one who was being abused during this period, and now he was much more at ease.

"It's only been a few days of rest, and someone has already finished the game, and I heard that there are still two weeks left, so let's continue playing this game today."

After closing the interface, he quickly adjusted his state and entered "Sekiro" to start a new journey of masochism.

the other side.

Inside Hong Huang's studio.

As soon as the new week came, Lao Song asked someone to count the sales of "Sekiro" for the week, make a table and print it out.

"How is it? How many sales per week?"

At this time, Lao Li and several team leaders were already waiting aside, eagerly looking at the printed report.

Lao Song picked up the report and looked at it, and couldn't help but gasped.

["Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" first week sales: 330,000 copies]

330,000!

His arms trembled slightly, and he couldn't believe his eyes.

Looking down, one-fifth of the sales were provided by Little Days, which was more than they expected.

Based on the calculation of 218 yuan per share and 70% share, it is almost equivalent to a profit of 50 million yuan.

And "Sekiro" has a self-developed engine and a complete solution provided by Chen Lin, the production cycle is greatly shortened.

Counting the publicity investment and human resources, the cost is only in the early 100 million.

That is.

Payback in two weeks!

Even if this speed is placed in the entire stand-alone game industry, it is very exaggerated, let alone such a large game.

And just when he was stunned.

Lao Li and others at the side also came over and looked at the numbers above.

"Fuck! 330,000!?"

"Are you sure it's not wrong??"

Several people stared wide-eyed, looked at the report, and then looked at Lao Song.

The employees who were busy next to them heard their exclamation, and they all focused on it in doubt.

"It shouldn't be wrong. I've had people count the data twice."

"And not only this game, the sales of "Monster Hunter" and "Need for Speed" we made before also exceeded 2 million and 1 million."

In Lao Song's words, there is still a strong sense of shock.

usually.

From the beginning of a game's release, the sales growth rate will be slower until the end, because the player base has become saturated.

But instead of being weak, these few games of theirs have been rising more and more fiercely, and they are quite heading for 5 million sales.

This is something they didn't expect.

But within reason.

"Sure enough, Mr. Chen is right. The game market has started to develop slowly, and even the sales of games have increased a lot compared to last year."

"It seems that the entry of capital is not all a bad thing, it just depends on whether we can seize the opportunity."

"Indeed, it's still just in its infancy, and I can't even imagine what it will be like in the future."

Lao Li and several team leaders were both happy and worried. They were afraid that the shock of the game market would affect the studio. At the same time, they hoped that the industry would grow bigger and bigger.

In this way, they will have more opportunities and earn more money.

Pain and happiness may be the true portrayal of their mood at this time.

by contrast.

Lao Song was calmer.

He analyzed in a low voice: "No matter what, the bigger the market and the more cakes, it is always a good thing for us."

"What we have to do now is to gain fame and occupy the market as soon as possible, so that we cannot be compared by other competitors."

"That's right." Lao Li nodded, "Then let's work hard during this period, update and maintain the game more diligently, and strive to increase sales."

After speaking, he took the team leaders back.

At the same time, it also brought back the first week results of "Sekiro".

All of a sudden.

The whole production team cheered.

They didn't even need to be urged, they all sat back on their seats and got busy.

Because the better the sales performance of the project, the higher the bonus they can get, so don't they work harder?

As for Chen Lin's side, Lao Song went there in person and reported the results just calculated.
