Chapter 412 Overseas

As soon as the press conference of Linmu Studio was over,

no matter what the overseas reaction was,

no matter what the Peria reaction was, the domestic market was a big hit.

The quick-moving game media published a report that afternoon, with the title "The replacement of game consoles completely changes the way players play games."

And the players were like celebrating the New Year.

Because as soon as the press conference was over,

the staff who stayed at Linmu Studio began to release the promotional videos released at the press conference on a large scale.

Players who had watched the press conference and wanted to know more about the console turned off the live broadcast and saw all the promotional videos of the previous press conference.

And some players who had not watched the press conference at all also learned about the new console of Linmu Studio with the release of the promotional videos.

And no matter who it was.

The first time I saw the console promotional video starring Lu Xiu, the first feeling was amazing!

Very amazing!

Although at this stage, no player has actually touched the console.

Although the promotional video is only a few minutes long.

But the freshness of the entire promotional video, the sliding animation of the logo and the crisp click when the camera switches.

All of them are unforgettable.

Switch as the name of the console, players felt a little strange at first.

But once players saw the various ways of playing and the flexible forms of the handles in the promotional video, they quickly understood why... the console is called Switch.

Regardless of the prospects and sales,

at least at this moment, the Switch's debut was a success.

Because not only console players, but also players who are interested in Linmu Studio's consoles, even some players who follow the trend and only play online games, are very interested in the console after watching the promotional video.

On the forum,

as the promotional videos were released one by one,

they were then reposted by players on the forum.

The number of replies and popularity of related posts began to soar!

The posts posted by the players who watched the press conference first in the morning

were all pushed to the front page in the afternoon, and were followed by words such as "hot" and "pinned".

On social media, the two words Switch and Linmu Studio also rushed directly to the top of the topic list.

Countless players, and even ordinary people, were fascinated and moved after watching the promotional video of the console.

Ordinary people who didn't know asked what it was.

The huge popularity affected Lu Xiu, who starred in the promotional video.

That afternoon, she was filming on the set.

Suddenly, a bunch of media came to her and asked her about the Linmu Studio console.

After all, according to the current information, she was the only one who had touched the console...

Lu Xiu was stunned when she saw a bunch of media rushing over for no reason on the set.

Finally, under questioning, she barely kept calm and did not reveal any news.

And that night.

With the arrival of prime time in the evening.

The popularity of the Linmu Studio console also reached its peak.

On this day,

as long as the players who visited the forum,

eight out of ten posts

were related to the Linmu Studio console!

[Give up competing with traditional consoles and focus on differentiation. I said why Linmu Studio was not panicked at all when facing sniping. You are really amazing! Linmu Studio...]

[It was really amazing! I was at the press conference. Lin Yao walked onto the stage and inserted the console into the base. Then when the game screen appeared on the screen, to be honest, I was really excited! ]

[I thought it was a handheld console at first, but the promotional video later was completely beyond my expectations. Can the console be played like this? 】

【Interesting, really interesting. Although I have no friends and most of the game sharing sessions in the trailer are not suitable for me... But I am still tempted. I feel that it would be fun to buy one myself. It is better than a mobile phone and more cost-effective than a handheld game console. 】

【Now I declare! Peria's handheld game console! It is just garbage! It costs nearly 2,500 yuan, the game lineup is not good, and the handheld game console is not good! I really want to return it now and buy a Switch...】

【After watching the trailer, I want to buy it immediately, but I have to wait for more than ten days...】

【Fuck, can those who have pre-ordered it close the pre-order page! ? Too many people! The webpage can't be opened! 】

【Looking at the information disclosed at the press conference, compared with other consoles, the performance of Switch is much worse... But it is understandable. After all, it is the size of a handheld game console. I don't know what the actual experience is like? I will wait and see for a while. But the trailer is really amazing. If the actual machine is also amazing, I will definitely buy it. 】

【Dear big guys, if you are not a console player, can you use it immediately after buying it? I am so tempted after watching the trailer. 】

【Game! Do you have any detailed information about the game? Especially the information about The Legend of Zelda. This seems to be the first time that Linmu Studio has made an open world game? 】

【What about those players who said that it is unwise for Linmu Studio to enter the console market? Come out and speak up! 】

【……】

Every moment, there are posts about consoles.

In short,

in China,

Linmu Studio's consoles are very popular.

Although some players are concerned about the performance of Linmu Studio's consoles.

Some players are not optimistic about this kind of switchable console.

They think that the console is the console and the handheld is the handheld. This is neither fish nor fowl and is not good.

But overall, 90% of the players are still looking forward to it.

The long-term efforts of the console product department of Linmu Studio.

The one-month marketing of Linmu Studio.

In the end, it achieved very good results!

So when domestic players were discussing it fiercely.

Pengcheng.

A hotel.

Lin Yao held a celebration banquet for all the staff who worked hard today.

Everyone came to work on holiday, which was very hard. And now that the console is successful, it is reasonable to celebrate and reward the staff.

As for the other staff who couldn't come on holiday, the annual meeting is coming soon, and then we can get together again.

"... Cheers!"

The main table.

Zhu Nianqiao raised her glass excitedly and wanted to clink glasses with others.

Bao Liangzhe, Zhong Xiu and others raised their glasses with a smile.

Lin Yao also raised her glass.

With the sound of clinking glasses, everyone at the table smiled.

Everyone saw the popularity of the console this time, and they were all very happy.

Lin Yao was also very happy. She glanced at Zhu Nianqiao, who drank juice with the momentum of Erguotou, smiled again, and then lowered her head to take out her mobile phone and took a look.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Wanqing sat next to Lin Yao and asked in a low voice when she saw her movements.

Lin Yao looked up and explained, "Look at the comments of the stupid netizens, and send a message to my sister to ask about the situation."

The sales of the console this time are handled by Linmu Financial Holdings.

As for the reason...

First, it is the sales system, which Linmu Studio does not have the ability to build at present.

Second, the production end is Linmu Financial Holdings, and it is reasonable for them to do it.

Besides.

Lin Yao made the console this time to help Linmu Financial Holdings transform. If Linmu Studio does everything, it would be putting the cart before the horse.

"Oh... How is the situation?"

"It's okay, my sister seems to be very busy and hasn't replied to me yet."

"Is that so... I actually just read the discussion of the players. Some players don't seem to be optimistic about the console, and some players are a little worried about the hardware of our console..."

"Normal."

Lin Yao looked at the hesitant Mu Wanqing and smiled: "Any new thing has a process of acceptance."

She really thinks it's normal.

When her previous life Switch was just announced, it was also bad-mouthed, and Nintendo's stock price plummeted...

Linmu Studio is in a much better situation now than Nintendo.

At least in China, most players are still interested in the console and have strong expectations.

The doubts and pessimism mixed in

are almost negligible.

In this case, Lin Yao, who has actually played the console, is still very confident that the console will be loved by most players when it is released.

As for being loved by everyone... it is completely impossible.

Lin Yao's previous life, those movies that were praised as the first and second in film history, all received bad reviews.

Not to mention a console.

"Yeah."

Seeing that Lin Yao didn't seem to be affected, Mu Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief, then lowered her head and thought for a moment, and said: "Then wait for the feedback after the release, um... and the feedback from overseas. The overseas side will also release the promotional video and the video of the press conference at the same time. I don't know how the feedback will be..."

"Ms. Mu."

Lin Yao suddenly interrupted Mu Wanqing.

"Yeah?" Mu Wanqing looked up at Lin Yao.

"Don't think about it, we just succeeded... Let's talk about these things after the holiday."

Lin Yao showed a smile that seemed to heal people's hearts, and put away her phone: "I won't watch it anymore, just relax and have a good rest now... Also, happy new year."

"... Yeah, happy new year."

Mu Wanqing smiled, gave up thinking, and said happy.

The two smiled at each other.

In the hotel banquet hall.

The sound of clinking glasses, Zhu Nianqiao's booing, and the noisy voices of the staff were mixed together.

Lin Yao looked around, pursed her lips, and then with a smile, she held Mu Wanqing's hand and hummed a song softly.

...

At the same time.

Linmu Financial Holdings, headquarters.

Compared with the celebration banquet of Linmu Studio.

The atmosphere here is a bit tense.

"Immediately contact the staff to come back and solve the problem of the continuous crash of the pre-order website. It would be best if it can be solved tonight."

Lin Xi, wearing a decent and intellectual professional suit, sat at the head of the conference table, with a tight face, and quickly instructed the next thing.

"In addition, all factories will start to transfer goods at the same time, and supporting brand promotion and publicity will also be launched accordingly. All of these must be completed before the 13th."

"Make it clear to the cooperative companies about warehousing, logistics, and terminals. No problems can occur, no matter what method is used."

"In the next period of time, the main factories must ensure production capacity. At least there must be enough goods to sell on the day of release. This is the deadline."

"The original sales target has been increased by 20%."

"In addition, beware of scalpers..."

Lin Xi said a lot

in one breath. Some of the others at the conference table were taking notes, and some were rubbing their hands.

They were all a little nervous and excited.

After all, the console has been prepared for a long time. Linmu Financial Holdings has invested a lot, almost betting on their future.

The people present are all directors and shareholders. Although the shares of these shareholders have been diluted a lot after Linmu Studio became a shareholder, their interests are still closely related to the development of the company.

Now seeing that the console of Linmu Studio has caused such a big wave,

they are both excited and nervous. They

are excited because the console launch of Linmu Studio is a great success. They are

nervous because it is the first time for Linmu Financial Holdings to enter the game industry.

Everyone is worried that the good scene will be ruined.

Finally,

it is the youngest Lin Xi who seems the calmest.

Although his face is tense

, he did not express any nervousness. Instead, according to the response of Linmu Studio's launch conference, he promptly called everyone and adjusted the original plan.

"Okay, that's about it."

Lin Xi said the last point, then closed the file in front of him and slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "The directors in charge will go to prepare. During this period before the release, we will take turns on duty to ensure that there will be no problems."

Everyone present had no objection and nodded slowly.

"Then let's adjourn the meeting."

Seeing that no one objected, Lin Xi stood up, but she did not leave in a hurry. Instead, she looked around at the directors who stood up with her, and suddenly asked: "But before I leave, I want to ask you one question, do you still oppose making consoles?"

"..."

As soon as Lin Xi said this,

several directors immediately became embarrassed.

Although the resistance to Linmu Financial Holdings' transformation this time was reduced to the minimum due to Lin Yao's capital injection,

small resistance does not mean no resistance.

In fact, during this period, there were still many people who opposed Linmu Financial Holdings. When

the countdown to the Linmu Studio press conference was approaching, and the two console manufacturers Peria were also going to hold press conferences to snipe the Linmu Studio console.

At that time, the voices of opposition were very loud.

Some people even secretly accused the two sisters of having an affair...

"..."

Lin Xi glanced at all the shareholders and directors present, saw their faces clearly, and then left with a meaningful smile. Without saying much, she turned around and left.

Zhang Youjie, who was sitting on the left, looked at Lin Xi's back and smiled.

After the console is released this time, it is estimated that the top management will have to clean up again...

He sighed a little in a dignified manner.

We have all grown up...

...

On this side.

The press conference of Linmu Studio has caused a huge response, but this is limited to China and some overseas counterparts who watched the live broadcast.

On the other side,

most of the overseas players... have not seen the promotional video yet.

Lin Yao set the time of this press conference at 12 noon in China. At that time, most areas in the large console market in Europe and the United States were in the middle of the night.

In addition, Peria and Hardcore just held a press conference and released a bunch of new works. Linmu Studio's influence in Europe and the United States is not as good as that of the two major console manufacturers.

The time is wrong, the influence is not enough, and Peria and Hardcore are competing for popularity. Linmu Studio's investment in publicity and promotion in Europe and the United States is not as good as that in China.

As a result, few European and American players stayed up late to watch the press conference.

By the time Linmu Studio released the promotional materials, most European and American players had already fallen asleep...

Compared with the excitement in China.

Europe and the United States are calm.

When the domestic players fell asleep, the players in Europe and the United States woke up.

However, most European and American players, due to the time difference, were still discussing the classic IP reboot announced at the Peria press conference.

But soon, this situation changed...

I'm really sorry, I worked too late and couldn't catch up. Today, there is only this two-in-one chapter... I'm really sorry.

In addition, please ask for monthly tickets at the beginning of the month...
