Chapter 572: Smooth the Road
【
You carry the load, I lead the horse
Welcome the sunrise and say goodbye to the sunset
Flatten the bumps and make a highway
After fighting through the hardships, we set out again, and again...
】
The next morning, when everyone woke up from their sleep.
The news on the Internet has been overwhelming.
["Journey to the West" premieres simultaneously at home and abroad! ]
["Journey to the West" explodes global viewership! ]
CCTV-1's revenue surged by 15.68%!
The premiere of "Journey to the West" on the Opera Channel received a viewership rating of 12.75%.
[The premiere of "Journey to the West" broke 10! ]
"Journey to the West" received over 50 million hits in just 8 hours of its premiere on overseas channels!
[The premiere of "Journey to the West" secured the top spot in the ratings for the summer season!]
......
The series of explosive headlines that followed were no longer important.
Those numbers...are scary!
“!!!!”
“........”
The silence and shock lasted for a long time...
"Oh my God!"
"15.68%! 12.75%! Is this what a human being does?"
"How can two channels broadcast over 10?!"
"So if it's broadcast exclusively... the ratings should be over 25%?"
“It’s 28%…”
"...and it's only the first day!"
"I never thought that one day the TV station's ratings would break through double digits, or even reach such a terrifying figure as 25%?"
"Confirm again, does this data really exist?!"
“I never thought that television could return to its peak in this internet age!”
"This means that last night one-quarter of the television sets in the country were watching Journey to the West."
"That's correct, and many of them are watching with their families, which means the actual number of viewers is far more than 25%!"
"This doesn't even include CCTV's online viewing..."
"And the overseas premiere got 50 million hits? And it hasn't even been a day yet!"
"The number of followers on CCTV's overseas accounts has skyrocketed to over 10 million. It just broke 1 million... Just imagine how explosive this Journey to the West is!"
"It's terrifying! The premiere topped the Daxia ratings charts!"
Open the ratings list and take a look.
The first place is CCTV-1, "Journey to the West".
The second place is the 2018 CCTV Spring Festival Gala.
The third place is the 2022 Masked Singer finals.
The fourth place is the opera channel, and it’s still “Journey to the West”…
Looking further down, apart from the Spring Festival Gala, all the programs are about the Avengers.
The Legend of the Condor Heroes, Slam Dunk, The Return of the Condor Heroes...
And strictly speaking, the first and fourth places seem to be the results of CCTV, but in fact they are the results of a program called "Journey to the West".
No matter which platform it is on, it will explode...
In other words, this is the achievement of the Avengers themselves.
Someone joked before, saying that the Avengers were so inhumane that they even dominated this list.
Unexpectedly, the joke came true!
It won’t take more than a few years, it’s already dominating the charts!
This is not to say that the Avengers' records can only be broken by the Avengers, but that all the records of Daxia will be dominated by the Avengers.
"Journey to the West" is a mythological masterpiece full of Daxia culture and spiritual core.
It is the most difficult type of product to export overseas, but now everything about it is sweeping the world.
The game sold 30 million copies in one month, tripling the previous record for Daxia games...
Excluding platform, promotion, and other expenses (of course, Avengers had no promotional expenses), a conservative estimate is that Asgard's revenue exceeds 4 billion...
Overseas sales of the paper version of "Journey to the West" reached a small goal in the first month, breaking the record of 80 million copies set by the last volume of "Harry Potter".
The official website of S.H.I.E.L.D. began selling various dolls and models of characters from "Journey to the West", and they were almost sold out as soon as they were put on the shelves.
One of the limited edition Monkey King models was sold for more than 50,000 US dollars.
According to incomplete statistics this year, the total output value of various cultural products created by "Journey to the West" exceeded 20 billion US dollars, and its value is still rising.
Even if the copyright is made public, it will not have any impact on the interests of the Avengers themselves.
When it comes to redeveloping the original work, no one can catch up with the original author.
This copyright seems to have been released but not released...
Ordinary creators can also eat a bite of Monkey King's food, but they don't seem to pose any threat to the Avengers...
Many overseas people first learned about Daxia and became interested in Daxia culture because of a monkey!
"I was beaten for a week on the first level..."
"Can you imagine? Kang Jinlong is really a dragon!"
"Why do they insist on the monkey dying? He just wants to stay in Huaguo Mountain! Leavehimalone!"
"The Tathagata Buddha should be the most powerful!"
"So, the story of Black Myth takes place after the Journey to the West retrieves the scriptures?"
"Then where did Tang Sanzang go?"
"Oh! This mysterious ancient country in the far east has great games!"
"This monkey is amazing!"
"On the surface, this story is about a journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, leveling up and fighting monsters, but it actually contains a lot of Buddhist teachings and philosophy. It feels like a classic masterpiece that has been preserved for a long time!"
"I finally understand what the Daxia people mean by 'can't put the book down'. I got this book and stayed up two long nights to finish it... Now I'm rereading it!"
"Compared to the game, this book is truly terrifying! Almost every North American I know owns a copy!"
“For the first time, I understood what cultural invasion is…”
"If you like to read the news, or know a little about the Avengers, you will know that Daxia's cultural invasion has already begun."
The hot sales of the book and the hit TV series not only failed to cool down the popularity of "Journey to the West", but instead made the situation worse.
Journey to the West is a global hit
Hulk once again tops the global annual bestseller list
Black Myth sells 30 million copies, Asgard rakes in $4 billion!
[Daxia's "Journey to the West" sweeps the world]

【The Monkey King Sun Wukong】
Lin Mo looked at the popularity and felt infinite emotion in his heart:
"This is the appearance that my Great Sage deserves!"
I believe many actors and singers have experienced the feeling of becoming famous overnight.
But have you ever experienced becoming a global sensation overnight?
Well, some people have experienced this.
Tong Xiaoling, 45 years old, is the eldest disciple of Yao Pingzhi, a well-known opera artist in Daxia.
He worked for Daxia Opera with his master all his life.
However, with the advent of television media and the Internet era, more and more art forms have impacted opera, and its influence has declined.
It wasn't until a few years ago that Iron Man, the star of fate, ignited the opera.
Then they ushered in a revival of literature and art.
He thought he would be able to sing on the stage for the rest of his life.
Unexpectedly, when the project of "Journey to the West" was launched, Lin Mo asked, "Can we invite teachers of opera to try it?"
In short, his career took a miraculous turn.
Opera singers seem to have an overwhelming advantage whether singing or acting.
What's more, many aspects of the character of Wukong were referenced from Peking Opera.
For example, the image of the Monkey King’s Peking Opera mask in “Havoc in Heaven” is the best proof.
Among so many old artists, veteran actors, and national first-class actors, he, a not-so-famous opera performer who only occasionally appears on TV, was unexpectedly chosen.
"Teacher Tong, I'll leave Wukong to you."
“???”
“!!!”
