Chapter 707: Strong Crush: The God-enshrined "The Matrix"
The Matrix has become a legend, and its terrifying box office continues to set new records!
This movie triggered a nationwide movie-watching craze. It happened to coincide with the summer vacation, and there were almost no competitors during the same period, so the box office was really terrifying.
In China, after just one week of release, the first-week box office record was set: 5.236 billion RMB. This was the unprecedented achievement of "The Matrix."
The box office of this movie in North America was also terrifying, with a first-week box office of a terrifying $1.132 billion, breaking the North American box office record.
In Europe, India, Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia...
"The Matrix" has created its own record. In the first week, "The Matrix" raked in a terrifying $2.854 billion in box office worldwide.
This box office made everyone gasp in shock. It was horrible to have such a box office in just one week. Not only that, although the box office of "The Matrix" has declined so far, it has not been cut in half.
Judging from this pace, the glory of "The Matrix" will continue.
Faced with such a dire situation, Disney's "The Code" appears completely unsure. They're well aware of their film's potential; "The Code" and "The Matrix" simply aren't on the same level. While "The Code" is also a sci-fi blockbuster, after watching "The Matrix," not only the audience, but even Disney itself seems to dislike its own film.
As a last resort, Disney announced that the release date of "The Matrix" would be adjusted, directly moving it to August 16th. It did not dare to respond at all and would wait until "The Matrix" was taken off the screen before releasing it.
Although it's embarrassing, it can prevent even greater losses. Otherwise, the audience will compare it to "The Matrix." Then "The Code" will definitely suffer a huge loss.
The Matrix has become a true legend. Not only did it become a box office hit, but the actors in it also became incredibly famous. Su Yang and Qin Shuyao were already famous, but the other characters in the film weren't very popular. Now, a movie has given them a huge boost in popularity.
Peripheral products also sold well, especially the various clothes that Su Yang wore in the film, all of which are Qingyao brand clothes. These clothes now have high sales around the world.
Taking advantage of Su Yang's success, the Qingyao brand also began to expand into overseas markets. Positioning itself as a light luxury brand with affordable prices, good quality, and stylish designs, and with Su Yang as its spokesperson, the Qingyao brand quickly became a popular brand among young people overseas.
Peripheral products are selling well, but when it comes to peripheral products that have reaped the biggest benefits, Pangu Games is undoubtedly the one.
At Pangu Games' headquarters, everyone was overjoyed at the sales of "The Matrix" game.
The AAA game "The Matrix" was in production since the film was first released. The game world is more complex than the movie, and playing this game is particularly brain-burning.
In a word, it is difficult. This difficulty is not a joke, it is really difficult.
How difficult is it? This game was released at the same time as the movie. Now it's been a week, and no one has even finished the first level, let alone the second level.
The setting is similar to that of The Matrix. After each battle, different choices will appear for you to make. If you choose the wrong one, sorry, it will be a dark road, and you will definitely die if you follow it.
It's like a copy, one copy after another, if you choose the wrong one, it will be a black road.
There are no official guides or tips. Many of the questions asked are even more bizarre and full of philosophical thoughts.
Even when choosing a mechanism, you need to use Chinese Feng Shui knowledge to make your choice. For example, there is a copy in which, after killing the enemy, eight doors will appear directly, with the eight directions written on them.
At the same time, there is a clock in the game screen. This is the secret of Chinese Feng Shui. Among the eight doors, only one is the Shengmen, and the direction of the Shengmen varies according to the time.
If you enter the gate of life, there may be a way to survive.
However, if you choose the Death Gate, you risk your life, but you can eventually get out. However, the difficulty is exponentially increased. Only those who have played for a long time and are extremely familiar with the controls will be able to pass the Death Gate.
It's incredibly difficult, so difficult that players around the world are having heated discussions on the forums, discussing how to beat the levels, how to fight each soldier, and how to defeat each minion.
The official website also lists the number of people who have cleared each level. Currently, the number of people who have cleared the second level globally is zero.
The people at Pangu Games thought that this difficulty would discourage many people. However, the opposite happened. This difficulty actually aroused the fierceness of countless players, who refused to believe that they could not pass the game.
Following this trend, global sales of "The Matrix" have reached 12.36 million copies in just one week.
The game was priced at $99, but in just one week, it had already brought the gaming company an additional $1.2 billion in revenue.
"Boss Su..."
When they saw Su Yang come in, everyone laughed.
“How are sales?”
Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Very good. 12.36 million units have been sold so far, and the sales volume is still rising..."
The person in charge said with a smile, and Su Yang nodded in satisfaction at the result.
"Very good. Let's announce another policy. Players who purchase the game and cannot complete it within three months can directly apply for a full refund..."
Su Yang's words startled everyone. A full refund for those who couldn't clear the game within three months? What kind of operation was this?
Looking at everyone's puzzled looks, Su Yang laughed.
"Tell me, if I play seriously, can I complete this game in three months?"
Su Yang asked with a smile.
"Boss Su, this game is difficult, but if you play it seriously and gain experience, even if you can't beat the Hard and Hell levels in three months, you should still be able to beat the Normal and Easy modes."
The staff asked directly.
"That's it. For geeks who really enjoy games, they can complete them as long as they play seriously. But for those who just want to try it out, they might refund their money after a few days. Our announcement will actually arouse the curiosity of more gamers, wondering how difficult it is to try this game."
Su Yang's words suddenly enlightened many people. Once this announcement was released, it would definitely stimulate many gamers.
Damn, who are you, the developers, looking down on? I don't believe you can't complete a single-player game in three months. For serious gamers, this announcement will definitely incentivize them to buy the game and give it a try. The next step is to harvest more gamers. As for those who can't complete the game in three months, they may not be willing to refund their money. They will want to play the game to see how it works.
