Why Can’t I Play Games

August 5th.

Saturday.

Video stores, large and small, lined up in long queues.

Many people are waiting for the release of Zhou Yang's new album "Qilixiang".

In the early hours of the morning...

Video stores put up promotional posters early on.

It reads "Zhou Yang's new album "Qilixiang" comes out shockingly!"

In the promotional poster, one side of Zhou Yang's face is illuminated by the sun, while the other side is in the shadows. Under the orange-red sunset, he looks very cold, like a knight walking in the dark and light.

a year ago!

Zhou Yang released a new album, detonating most of the Chinese music scene.

This shocked Zhou Yang's behind-the-scenes company and even the management of Tianxing Entertainment!

They didn't expect that this kind of weird, fast-paced music that people couldn't understand could sell so many albums, and it even became a trend for a while!

They are keenly aware that a trendy era for young people should begin!

In the subsequent blank period, many young and handsome powerful idols were packaged in the same way by them, and they achieved huge sales. It was once called the beginning of the era of fighting gods!

However, no matter in terms of CRBT downloads, album sales, or even pirated copies, no idol singer can reach the height of Zhou Yang's "Wind Explosion"...

one year later……

There are still many songs being sung on campus!

His posters can still make money for countless small vendors!

…………………………………

Saturday.

Everyone in Universe Technology is at work.

Zhang Yang gave himself a rare day off.

He took an MP3, plugged in headphones, and walked on the street in a sweater.

Looking at everything in this world, even looking at the young people walking on the street, he really has a very nostalgic feeling.

Many trendy young people have installed marquee speakers on their mobile phones.

The speaker played the songs downloaded from the Internet in the memory card.

He looked at the video store on the street...

Looking at the MP3, MP4 placed in the window...

This is the newest thing!

Back then, he had been obsessed with this thing for a long time, and even dreamed of getting one.

However, he never imagined that this thing would be replaced soon in the future.

What about the middle-aged man Tong Wei mentioned?

Why didn't you come to find me?

Did you start your own business?

Zhang Yang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head.

The trend of this era should be obvious. Many keen people must have discovered the sales code of mobile phones early...

Zhang Yang said nothing more.

"I'm coming!"

"Zhou Yang's new song is here!"

"My God, it's finally here!"

"Wow...the boss came out, took it out!"

"Boss, bring me an album!"

"Boss, I want a tape!"

"..."

A burst of excited voices erupted from the nearby video store.

Many people rushed into the video store to buy tapes.

Zhang Yang took a closer look.

I found that most of the tapes in the video store are pirated copies of the title songs of various singers...

However, after seeing Zhou Yang's new album, Zhang Yang found out that the owner of the audio-visual store is not bad, and basically all the tapes he sells are genuine.

Ten dollars a piece...

Many fans are more than happy to buy.

As for Zhang Linjie's album, which was released at the same time, it was thrown aside. It was so clean that almost no one cared about it.

This is the case with many singers. Except for the title song in the album, the other songs are all bad songs for fans.

When you buy this kind of album, there will always be a feeling that the gain outweighs the gain.

Zhang Yang squeezed into the video store, saw the other game areas of the video store, he saw many very good stand-alone games on the market.

even……

He stared in disbelief at the yellow-background computer game in the first row.

"Cosmic Bike!"

His eyes widened.

There is also a pirated version of this thing?

"Boss, how do you sell this game?"

"Oh, this game, this game is sold as a package, buy the album and get the game..."

"Can't this game be sold?"

"What can't be sold, this is the "Desert Bicycle" that was so popular before! Have you never heard of "Desert Bicycle"? That money-making game..."

"Can games still make money now?"

"Why are you asking so many questions... Hey, over there, don't touch the album, pay first and then get the tape!"

"..."

Seeing the boss' constipated and unlucky appearance, Zhang Yang knew that the pirated version of "Desert Bicycle" would not make any money, and no one would even buy it.

It's a bit dusty to put here!

Thinking about it is right, "Desert Bike" became popular, basically relying on a strategy similar to making money to attract people. The core gameplay is actually very boring after playing for a long time. When the meaning of making money is lost, who wants this game?

Walked around the video store.

When Zhang Yang was about to go to other places to have a look, he suddenly received a call from Tong Wei.

"Mr. Zhang, we have come to Yanjing, where are you?"

"On the street, what's the matter?"

"There is something, very important thing!"

"oh?"

On the phone, Tong Wei's voice was very excited.

The whole person was as if he had taken a stimulant, and he was so excited that he could even hear his breathing while speaking.

……………………………

"The sparrow outside the window talks on the pole

When you say this, it feels like summer..."

I don't know when it started.

Next to Chen Weiwei's office, there is a constant loop of such songs.

And, over and over again.

Chen Weiwei went downstairs.

On the way back at noon, the melody of "Qilixiang" was also playing in the driver's music...

The driver listened fascinated.

He kept humming along, but fortunately he didn't shake along with it.

After getting out of the car...

In the major shopping malls, there is also a constant cycle of singles.

again and again.

Sparrows, telephone poles, windows...

Accompanied by the soft and gentle melody, Chen Weiwei suddenly has a feeling of returning to that summer many years ago, the era full of longing for the future after the college entrance examination.

Of course, other than that, she was still in a trance.

Until now, she has been in a state of disbelief.

Such a beautiful song turned out to be a song written by Zhang Yang.

What made her even more unbelievable was that there seemed to be many such songs on the flamboyant A4 paper.

After returning home...

She lay quietly on the bed listening to music.

As she listened, she realized that she was a little sleepy.

Tired, she fell asleep with the music. In the music, she seemed to return to that summer many years ago...

Although there is no first love...

However, there is not so much fatigue, no sleepless nights, no so much pressure, and at the same time, there is not so much busy work.

In a trance, she had a long, long dream...

After waking up.

She found that it was evening when the sun was setting.

She is very comfortable.

The spirit has never been better!

The phone has been ringing off the hook, but she still doesn't notice it...

in life……

Opening the window, she saw the sunset glowing in the sky.

When I turn on the computer again...

She found that the sales of her computer in China began to increase again.

When she saw the sales of the game "God of Strategies", her eyes widened!

………………………………………

Taiwan Island.

The evening glow shone through the windows.

Li Ziwen clenched his fists, watching the rapidly rising album sales, his hands trembled with excitement!

She felt that her heart and the blood in her body were about to explode!

Yes!

Just like her, it is inevitable to be shocked by the data, so exciting!

last year……

The total album sales of "Storm" are 700,000 copies!

Created a pinnacle of Zhou Yang's solo album sales!

Caused a storm!

She thought it was the pinnacle.

Even, I am already mentally prepared for a slight drop in album sales now!

However, unexpectedly, this is just the beginning...

Not even a day!

The sales volume of the entire Huaxia album has reached a terrifying 70,000 copies!

It is equivalent to a little more than five times the sales volume of "Storm" in one day!

crazy!

Absolutely crazy!

She never dreamed that "Qilixiang" would be so fierce!

Zhou Yang next to him was also very excited.

He proofread it repeatedly for a long time before he was sure that the data was true!

Then...

He got a call from the marketing department!

"Brother Zhou!"

"According to our survey, one out of every two customers who walk into the video store in Taiwan is buying our "Qilixiang"! Moreover, their enthusiasm is so high that many video stores are out of stock..."

"..."

This is an unprecedented grand occasion that Tianxing Company has seen before!

The entire Tianxing Company seemed to be cheering!

After Zhou Yang answered the phone, he took a deep breath and looked at Li Ziwen.

"Sister Li, what height do we predict this album will reach?"

"Don't worry, let's watch it for two more days. If the trend of the album doesn't drop much in the next two days, it's better to predict. This time, the data is so terrifying that I don't even feel it is real!"

"good!"

"..."

Before they finished chatting, there was a knock on the door of their office.

Then...

The director of the marketing department, that sissy Zheng Chen wearing glasses, suppressed her excitement and walked in.

"Sister Li!"

"President Zheng, what's the matter?"

"You said before that there seems to be other songs in Zhang Yang's hands, right?"

"Yes, what's the matter?"

"It's nothing, can you give me Zhang Yang's contact information? I want to talk to him!"

"ah?"

…………………………………

"Fuck!"

"Damn it, tell me it's not true!"

"Oh my god, this song "Qilixiang" was written by Zhang Yang?"

"Who is Zhang Yang?"

"You don't know who Zhang Yang is!"

"Damn it! I really don't know who Zhang Yang is!"

"The hottest learning game right now, you know?"

"Ah, I heard..."

"It's a game produced by Zhang Yang Company!"

"Wait, is that the old Lai who has been scolding on the Internet?"

"Lao Lai's fart, I'm no longer there. There's a reason for him to be Lao Lai. He was tricked by his father!"

"sky……"

"I'm going to check out that learning game!"

"..."

"Damn it, the download volume of this stand-alone game has exceeded 300,000! Damn!"

"Breaking 300,000 in less than four days, this is something that "The Killer of the World" has not done!"

""Killer of the World" has only exceeded 500,000 downloads so far!"

"Wait, why does the 200,000 of the second-ranked "Lonely Island Gunner" give people a feeling of foil?"

"Isn't this game going to break the myth of stand-alone games?"

"Oh my god, it's really possible!"

"..."

"Brothers, Zhang Yang has appeared on the "Today" program on Zhejiang TV!"

"Bros!"

"Fuck, the MV of another song "Dream Chaser" in "Qilixiang" is Zhang Yang's cosmic technology, everyone, come and watch..."

"Oh my god, it's true!"

"sky!"

"..."

"..."

online!

A terrifying storm is forming crazily, sweeping across the entire music circle and game circle in China...
