Chapter 558 Lin Yao changed the game (crossed out), music (crossed out again)

"Huh!?"

Lin Mu's studio.

Lin Yao, who was eating breakfast, also made a puzzled sound.

"Swallow it first..."

Mu Wanqing stood aside, looking at Lin Yao with round cheeks, a look of surprise, and a little icing on her rosy lips, and couldn't help laughing.

"...Is it true?"

Lin Yao swallowed the pineapple bun in her mouth, and then didn't eat the rest. She wrapped it up and put it back on the table, then moved her plump and tight long legs, kicked the floor, and moved the person and the chair in front of Mu Wanqing...

"Really."

Mu Wanqing looked down at the girl with a face full of curiosity, pursed her lips gently, tilted her head slightly, and then gave a definite answer.

The same expression, made by different people.

The effect will also be different.

Jia Zhang's face full of curiosity will make his subordinates unable to hold back.

And Lin Yao's face full of curiosity... well, it will also make his subordinates unable to hold back.

"...It's really unexpected."

Lin Yao didn't notice the change in Mu Wanqing's expression. After hearing the exact answer, she showed a surprised expression.

What surprised her was not the sales of the album.

It was the sales of the e-sports festival version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

Yesterday.

After the album was launched.

After midnight, the e-sports festival version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was also launched.

And today is the day when the game is unlocked.

After twelve o'clock noon, the game will be officially unlocked.

Linmu Studio has been promoting this game for so long, and the game has appeared three times at the e-sports festival. Logically speaking, most players have already purchased the game... So Lin Yao estimated that the number of players willing to wait for the e-sports version would not exceed 500,000.

But in the end, the sales of the special version of the game exceeded her expectations...

Especially the overseas sales.

You know.

The benefit of purchasing a special game version to redeem an album is limited to China.

Linmu Studio has not cooperated with overseas music platforms at all.

But even so, there are still countless overseas players flocking to it...

"Isn't this a good thing?" Mu Wanqing heard Lin Yao's words and said with a smile: "In addition, the album is selling well."

"How much?" Lin Yao immediately showed an interested expression.

Mu Wanqing reported the data she had just learned.

"...It seems that there are many people who like it. These fancy things we made are still useful."

Lin Yao laughed and was in a good mood.

Then, she moved her plump and tight long legs again, kicked the floor, and moved herself and the chair back to the original position. She picked up the pineapple bun that she had not finished eating, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Next, we will see the evaluation after the game is unlocked at noon. The scenes of this generation of games are much more exciting than the first generation. I don't know how players can accept it."

"Are you talking about the fourth level?"

As the housekeeper of Linmu Studio, Mu Wanqing is with Lin Yao every day. Even if she is not interested in stand-alone games, she has heard about the fourth level that caused an uproar during the internal test at the beginning.

"No, the mission in this level is too cruel."

Lin Yao shook her head gently: "I sealed this level and only made the elevator cutscene. Players will not be allowed to control the characters in the future, and even the screen will not appear, which is equivalent to skipping the whole thing."

The level of No Russian is too easy to cause moral controversy.

Even here, there is no corresponding country at all.

But as long as a normal person witnesses the tragic tragedy of the fourth level, he will probably feel despair.

Lin Yao did not exclude this level when she first established the project because she needed to sort out the entire story line.

But later she deleted the entire level and asked the project team to make sure that no traces were left.

At the same time, she also deliberately removed the prejudices and metaphors in many plots and lines in the game.

After all, a game should look like a game.

The purer it is, the better.

But even so, even if the controversial level is removed, the prejudices and metaphors in the game are removed.

Compared with the previous work, this game is still quite explosive...

Lin Yao explained it to Mu Wanqing briefly.

"Uh-huh..."

But Mu Wanqing is really not very interested in games like guns, cars and balls.

She doesn't have to worry about the products of Linmu Studio.

So she looked absent-minded. Compared to the game Lin Yao was talking about, she was more interested in the scene of Lin Yao eating...

because she felt it was very healing...

"Forget it."

Lin Yao found that Mu Wanqing was absent-minded, so she stopped talking, glared at her, ate the last bite of pineapple bun, then took out a piece of paper to wipe her hands and looked at the screen.

Mu Wanqing didn't mind. After a slight smile, she picked up Lin Yao's water cup and went to pour her water.

Lin Yao never asked to find a secretary for herself.

And Mu Wanqing never suggested it... Instead, she took on a lot of secretary work on her own initiative.

Mu Wanqing left.

Lin Yao looked through her internal mailbox, and after making sure there was nothing missing, she returned to the desktop, opened the Sizhu Yueting platform, and found the page of Linmu Studio's music album.

She planned to see what the players thought of this album.

As soon as she opened the comment area and saw the first comment, Lin Yao couldn't help it. That comment was exactly - "Lin Yao changed the game (crossed out)... music!"

"You really dare to say that... and are you too anxious?"

Lin Yao looked at the comments and teased with some amusement: "The new game will be unlocked at noon. If you cross out the game now, what if you like the game more at that time?... Cross it out again?"

...

What will happen after the game is unlocked.

The players don't know, and they haven't thought about it yet.

But at this moment.

They really think that Lin Yao has changed the music!

The main reason is that the album is too conscientious... More than 40 songs, all re-recorded, but only sold for 20 yuan in the end.

And the quality is not ambiguous at all. Except for the atmosphere, every aspect is better than the live version.

As for the lack of famous artists?

Come on.

Isn't music meant to be listened to?

It's okay as long as it sounds good! It doesn't matter who sings it.

And this time, the album of Linmu Studio has both theme song symphonies that can evoke players' memories and excellent rock.

They all sound good.

What else do you need a bicycle for!

Game bonus, Carnival e-sports festival bonus, large quantity of good music... and cheap.

Add these points together, and players can't help but brag about it.

After all, many albums with more than a dozen songs cost more than 30 yuan, and they are not good.

The more outrageous ones dare to charge 5 yuan for a song.

Compared with them.

Linmu Studio's music album is simply a ray of light in the darkness!

"Awesome!!!"

"Next, I want to see

who dares to set the price blindly! Although the price of online albums is difficult to measure, and the author's efforts do need to be rewarded, but you can't do it randomly!" "Indeed, if this album can dominate the charts for a few more days and become popular, then I guess the peers will be more cautious in pricing next time."

"Peers? Who are they peers? Linmu Studio is a game company [hands on hips]."

"It seems so. It's outrageous. Linmu Studio's game hasn't been released yet, but the album has already topped the charts..."

"Because it's really good, and it's not just us. I just checked and overseas players think so too."

"Can't overseas players redeem albums? Can they hear it?"

"The E-Sports Festival version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. Our domestic version cannot be downloaded in advance, and can only be exchanged for an album. However, if they purchase this version, they can download the relevant audio files a few hours in advance, which is equivalent to compensating them for not being able to exchange the album. I heard that the E-Sports Festival version has all the original soundtracks of the two Call of Duty games on the basis of the album... There is also a sub-track of Lin Yao and the staff playing and commenting on the first generation game. Although these cannot be downloaded yet, they can already be seen."

"Fuck!? Is it true? This is a huge profit!!! I regret buying the regular version now! Why didn't you tell me earlier!!!" "

The regular version can also be upgraded. You just need to make up the difference in the price of the E-Sports Festival version. You can just refund it and buy it again."

"Yes, no, I'm going to change it."

"...Hearing you say that, I suddenly became very curious. How many players will buy this E-Sports Festival version!?"

"..."

On the community forum.

As the players talked, they suddenly talked about the "leaked" information of the overseas version.

Then, there were more players interested in the E-Sports Festival version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

And the person who broke the news was not wrong.

But there is no need to go to overseas forums.

There are many overseas players in China... Those who came to watch the e-sports festival have already downloaded the audio files of the e-sports festival version of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2".

For example... Hank and David.

The two brothers' accounts are located in North America.

If they are not changed specifically, no matter where the login IP is, their location will not change.

So even if they log in to their accounts in China, they will get the page of the North American Vaporwave game platform.

The best account regions of the Vaporwave game platform are of course China, because the game price must be the lowest. At the same time, various functions of the platform will be tested in the domestic area first. Many joint activities are generally only available in the domestic area. For example, the album redemption service of this e-sports festival version is limited to China.

And the second is the European and American regions with the most players.

For example, this time, players in these account regions cannot redeem albums, but they can download the attached audio files in advance.

Although they can only be played locally.

But for players who don't go out, it doesn't make much difference.

Hank and David are listening to songs in the hotel at this time.

The two brothers were twisting their bodies like maggots in the hotel room...

Mainly because of the rock songs by Queen at the carnival, which really suited their taste.

They were impressed by these songs when they watched the live broadcast, and they really wanted to have the pure enjoyment version of the singles.

Now they have finally waited for it.

On days when there are no games to watch, it is like a blessing from heaven.

"It's really cool!"

Hank said to his brother after listening to a song "We Will Rock You": "I said it must be right to buy the joint version of the e-sports festival."

"Indeed, it's worth the money."

David nodded in agreement, and then said: "...but my dear brother, should we go out and find an Internet cafe now? "Call of Duty" is about to be unlocked."

This time, the two came from afar to watch the game.

Of course, they couldn't bring any high-performance computers.

They only brought a laptop.

It was OK to buy games and play some songs.

But it was impossible to play games.

"That's true."

Hank looked at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock. He immediately got up: "But can we go online? We don't have ID cards or anything like that."

"A passport should be fine, right?"

David thought about it and replied: "We have to give it a try. Do you want to miss the first chance to play the sequel to "Call of Duty"?"

"Okay, you convinced me. I really don't want to miss it. Let's go."

Hank jumped out of bed, washed up a little, put on his shoes and went out with David.

They were in a foreign country and didn't speak the language, so there were definitely troubles.

However.

The e-sports festival did attract a lot of overseas users.

And there were only a few hotels not far from the e-sports festival venue, so they could always meet "fellow countrymen" during the off-season... and the food here was delicious, so it wasn't boring.

Just as Hank and David arrived at the lobby, they saw a few familiar figures. They

were all "fellow villagers" that Hank had met when he went to the e-sports festival.

They were probably going to find an Internet cafe to play "Call of Duty" when they went out.

Hank greeted the other party, and then chatted with him. After confirming that they had the same purpose, they went out together.

Pengcheng is a big city.

There must be no shortage of Internet cafes.

Soon.

Hank and his group found a large chain Internet cafe.

Seven or eight men rushed in.

Then they started to negotiate with the front

desk.

The girl on duty saw seven or eight more foreigners running in and was stunned.

Why are there so many foreigners today! ?

Didn't a group just come... Why are they here again?

Although she knew that Linmu Studio had recently held an e-sports festival and attracted many overseas players.

But the Internet cafe didn't hold any competitions...

The girl on duty couldn't figure it out, but she had good professional qualities, and she had experienced it several times before, so when faced with negotiations, she skillfully quoted the price of one hour's Internet fee.

Then, she looked at Hank and the others, and after confirming that they were all adults, she started to use temporary cards to turn on their computers...

and at the same time.

The same scene was also playing out in other Internet cafes around the E-sports Festival venue.

Most Internet cafe owners were confused when faced with this situation.

There was nothing they could do.

They knew that overseas tourists could boost the economy.

But they really didn't know... that tourists could also boost the economy of Internet cafes...

I can only say that it was worthy of Linmu Studio.

In fact,

it was not just them.

The relevant departments in Pengcheng were all confused.

There were so many overseas audiences going to Internet cafes for the Linmu E-sports Festival, and the heads of some Internet cafes were undecided, so they went to question them, so they soon found out.

And their thoughts were more direct... They thought, this is outrageous!

... Let's talk about Hank.

As the person involved, he didn't think there was anything outrageous about this.

One of the most anticipated games of Linmu Studio this year was released today, and today is the off-season. What kind of person would not play it?

After he confirmed that this Internet cafe could access the Internet, he felt relieved.

While queuing up to pay for the Internet, he started chatting with the "fellow villager" in front of him.

"Did you also buy the E-Sports Festival version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2?"

"Yeah, I like this game very much, and I like their music very much!"

Hank nodded, then turned around and looked at the person behind him: "...Hey, brother, what about you?"

"Me too." The person behind him nodded.

"It seems that we all bought the E-Sports Festival version of the game."

Hank asked the last person, as if he had discovered a new world, and asked curiously: "I thought everyone bought the normal version of the game... I didn't expect so many people to wait until now, it seems that many players have bought this version..."

"What The Fuck..."

The man in front of Hank suddenly exclaimed.

Interrupting Hank.

"What's wrong?" Hank asked in a strange way.

"Just now, Linmu Studio announced the pre-sale sales of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 on social media!"

The man in front of Hank turned his head, holding his mobile phone, and said in disbelief: "Damn it!!!"

"Oh?"

Hank immediately became interested.

...

At the same time.

Sky Fox.

After returning from the breakfast shop, Mou Feng was shocked, stunned, and incredulous. He kept listening to the album released by Linmu Studio.

He worked while listening.

After looping it, he finished the work at hand.

He took a deep breath, finally opened the music platform again, and read the comments under the album.

The reason why I didn't watch it just now

was mainly because I was embarrassed...

Although no one heard it.

But he still had to have some shame. He just complained about the useless fancy things Linmu Studio did, and then their album topped the charts... This made him feel uncomfortable psychologically.

So I didn't watch it.

Now I finally adjusted.

Looking through the comments of players or more accurately, users.

Mou Feng sighed and was completely convinced.

Just now, after listening to all the songs in the album, he admitted that there was indeed a reason for this album to be popular...

Before he returned to Tianhu, and now after returning to Tianhu. He

played games from Linmu Studio.

As for the carnival and e-sports festival held by Linmu Studio, he has always paid attention to it.

So it is no exaggeration to say that

he is also half a fan of Linmu Studio...

So when those familiar game melodies sounded in his ears, even he couldn't help but feel happy and in a good mood...

After all, the songs are really good.

There is also a memory bonus.

Such a feeling in his heart also made him understand one thing... Linmu Studio's album is not a fancy and useless effort.

Instead, it is a very clever strategy!

"Has the music changed?"

Mou Feng slid the mouse wheel back to the top of the comment area, then looked at the reply with the highest number of likes, nodded, and murmured: "Indeed... Although judging from the price, the album is obviously a loss-making publicity, and can only recover the cost at most. If the profit sharing is taken into account, it will definitely be a loss, but as long as more people know about Linmu Studio's games, even if they know about it through the channel of music, it will also be profitable.

In comparison, the little money lost by the album is simply insignificant..."

Ding Dong.

Suddenly.

Mou Feng's mobile phone rang, interrupting him.

A message from Li Guangsheng.

Mou Feng was a little surprised, retracted his gaze from the screen, and picked up the phone.

"Oh my God..."

Li Guangsheng sent this sentence, followed by six dots.

Then, he sent a screenshot.

Mou Feng was stunned, then clicked on the screenshot behind.

After seeing the content of the screenshot clearly.

Instant.

Mou Feng's pupils began to tremble wildly...

The content of the screenshot was very simple.

It was a picture posted by the official account of Linmu Studio on domestic social media.

It listed the pre-sale data of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" so far.

——8725142 copies!

The three traditional host platforms, plus the PC platform.

A total of 8 million copies have been sold!

8.7 million copies!!!

Seeing this number.

Mou Feng felt that his head was filled with blood and was about to explode...

What kind of terrifying number is this!!!

And then.

Linmu Studio also specially classified and listed the sales of each version.

Among them.

The ordinary version has the highest sales, there is no doubt about this.

But what is outrageous is... The joint version of the e-sports festival actually sold a full 1 million copies just after the pre-sale was opened yesterday!

The pre-sale was only opened last night!

In less than 24 hours!

The sales exceeded one million copies! It is higher than the annual sales of some games!

You know, this joint version is much more expensive than the ordinary version!

At this time, the game has not even been officially unlocked!

"..."

Mou Feng's pupils trembled, his lips trembled slightly, and the whole person seemed to be dreaming in the daytime, light and light...

After a long time.

He barely recovered and finally looked away from the phone and looked at the computer screen.

The computer screen also displayed the album's comment page...

He looked at the comment with the highest number of likes, thought of what he had just said, and trembled and said: "They lost a shit!!!"

... Linmu Studio   directly disclosed the pre-sale data

before "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was unlocked.   It once again added fuel to the popularity of the game.   And this simple and direct fire.   The bright numbers.   Directly made the entire industry, all players, scream in horror, and their pupils tremble wildly.   Because it's really... too outrageous!   The game hasn't been unlocked yet, and the pre-sale sales of the game are approaching 9 million, heading towards 10 million, which is simply unheard of! ! !   Linmu Studio's official account on domestic social media.   Replies surged!   Player community.   There are even countless players shouting "awesome" to express their shock.   "This is too outrageous..."   "Almost nine million! How many games have officially sold over nine million this year? And this is just the pre-sale!"

"This series is going to become part of gaming history, it's crazy!!!"

"Linmu Studio is awesome!... How much money does this have to make!!"

"Where's the guy who asked about the sales of the e-sports festival version earlier! Look... one million! Fuck! Players are so rich!"

"Lin Yao! I like you! Can you let me marry into your family? I don't like money! I just want to try what it's like to marry into your family!"

"You're outrageous! This data will probably increase after the game is unlocked! This data... I can only say that it depends on the game being unlocked. If the quality is good, it will go into the history of honor, and if the quality is bad, it will go into the history of shame. In short, this game will definitely be named."

"Originally, I wasn't interested in FPS, but now that I see this data, to be honest, I want to play it..." "

..."

The popularity of the game.

Because of the sales data released by Linmu Studio, it has skyrocketed again!

And Lin Yao wanted this effect.

After all, the purpose of announcing sales is to create momentum.

11:30.

Lin Yao finished her daily work, and then heard from Xi Qianyu from the marketing department that the response was good, so she immediately returned to her office and watched the players' discussions.

After browsing the forum,

Lin Yao was very satisfied.

Then, she looked at the time and found that it was almost twelve o'clock, so she prepared to get up and eat.

But before she got up,

she suddenly thought of something... She sat down again, opened the Sizhu Yueting platform, and then went to the album comment area.

"... Stupid, you really changed it."

Lin Yao glanced at the comment area, was slightly startled, then smiled softly, got up and left the office.

Click.

The door was closed.

The office fell into silence.

But Lin Yao's computer screen was still on, still staying in the album comment area.

And the comment with the highest number of likes on it was still the one "Lin Yao changed the music", without any change.

However, under that comment, there was a new reply that had just been posted ten minutes ago, but had thousands of likes -

"Lin Yao changed the game (crossed out), music (crossed out again)... It's still a game!!!"

(End of this chapter)
