Chapter 361 Don't Care
"Xu! My Xu!"
"Chen is simply not a human being. He has no brains in the end! Linmu Studio is not a human being either. The ending is too sad, but I will always like you!"
"I like you too! Xu!!!"
Offstage.
The audience gathered more and more, and it became more and more noisy.
Because it was the prime time of 6 o'clock in the afternoon.
And this large chain supermarket had just opened. What's more coincidental is that there is a famous video game arcade on the top floor of this supermarket...
Many players originally just came to join in the fun and go to the video game arcade.
But Lu Xiu happened to stand for the brand in the most conspicuous place on the first floor.
Many players recognized at a glance that this female star was the female protagonist of "The Witch".
Then, there was this scene.
It can only be said that the time, place and people are right.
The players had just finished playing the game, and suddenly saw their favorite characters in the game outside the game. In excitement, they all ran over to make a fuss.
Even the video game arcade was not going.
Seeing so many people here, more and more people who don't play games became interested and followed them around.
The final result was that
Lu Xiu was stunned by the scene, and the brand was also stunned by the scene.
Seeing more and more people gathered around, there was even a possibility of losing control.
The event manager of the brand quickly asked people to maintain order, and then asked his subordinates to check what happened, whether it was a good thing or a bad thing.
And it was not difficult to find out.
Because many people had mentioned the direction of the game when they just shouted, the person in charge soon figured out what was going on. It
was not a bad thing...
but his investigation did delay a lot of time.
On the stage.
After Lu Xiu was stunned for a short time, she heard what the players below said, and she also reacted.
It was the game of Linmu Studio.
The character she played seemed to be called Xu...
but because she didn't have time to play the game, the script Lin Yao gave her didn't have a complete plot.
So at this moment, she didn't understand why the audience below was so excited.
She could only keep smiling.
But more and more people came, and the event was delayed for a while.
She smiled so hard that her face was almost stiff...
it was also the first time for her to experience what it felt like to have a stiff face...
she hesitated for a long time
. Finally.
The person in charge of the brand came up and whispered a few words in Lu Xiu's ear.
Then the event officially began.
Although it was a brand event and Lu Xiu was not a superstar, the popularity gathered at this event... was far beyond the brand's imagination!
The person in charge of the brand was almost grinning.
After the event was successfully completed.
Lu Xiu fled out of the supermarket like a refugee, and after getting into the nanny car, she was still a little dazed.
Although she was famous, she had never seen such a scene full of people inside and outside...
This was just a small event. It
was really outrageous.
Too outrageous!
"...Xiu."
Across from her.
Her agent was also a little dazed, because she was also at the scene just now.
After a long time, she came back to her senses and called out to Lu Xiu across from her.
Lu Xiu came back to her senses and looked at the agent.
"Is this game really that amazing?" the agent asked.
Lu Xiu shook her head gently: "I don't know... I remember their game was only released yesterday."
"Yesterday."
The agent was stunned, and then sighed: "I have a hunch that you will be famous soon."
Lu Xiu: "..."
Hearing the words of the agent.
She subconsciously wanted to refute.
Fame!
She participated in the game of Linmu Studio just to expand her acting career.
In her opinion,
no matter how famous a game is, it should be limited.
How could she become famous just by participating in a game?
But when the words came to her lips,
she recalled the excited faces she saw at the venue just now.
Suddenly she was speechless.
She didn't know that a famous video game city was going to open on the fourth floor of the supermarket where she participated in the event.
She also didn't know how the game "Witch" was so popular in the gaming circle.
But she knew and could see that the players below, who shouted at her, really liked her from the bottom of their hearts...
But is a game really that powerful?
...
No one could answer Lu Xiu's question for the time being. Whether
the game is that powerful or not, she saw the scene when she participated in the event, so she couldn't say for sure for the time being. After all, it was a scene created by the right time, place and people.
It's too early to say this now, because the Witch has only been on sale for two days, sales are still rising, and the popularity is still fermenting.
No one can tell what the specific situation will be.
However,
it is certain that she will have a large number of gamer fans...
In addition,
the answer to this question is actually very simple for some far-sighted brokerage companies.
If "The Witch" is only popular in China,
then the influence will be limited.
Although they care, they don't care too much.
But "The Witch" is not only popular in China, but also overseas. The literary and art circles, including many directors, have praised it. That's different...
Who doesn't want to have an "international artist" under their own company?
Although this sounds magical.
The game creates an international artist.
But the fact is that the two main characters in "The Witch" are also very popular with overseas players.
Anyone who is willing to check this out will know it.
This is mainly due to the game's shaping of these two characters, which almost occupies most of the game.
There is also a prominent chapter like the fifth chapter...
The two characters are indeed deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
At least the players who have played the game are very impressed and like them very much.
And Zhang Seng has a deep understanding of this...
"Ah? No need?"
Zhang Seng looked at the agent in front of him with a confused face.
The capital behind his agency is currently preparing a co-production.
After watching the trailer for "The Witch", the foreign director of the film specifically asked Zhang Seng to play the third male lead.
Zhang Seng cherished this opportunity very much and prepared for a long time to audition.
But because the time didn't match, it was postponed for a week.
When he asked again, the agent said that he didn't need to audition.
"It's not that you are not needed, but there is no need for audition. It is confirmed that you are the one."
The agent Zhang Jie saw Zhang Seng's expression and knew what he was thinking. She added with a complicated look.
"Ah? Why?"
Zhang Seng was even more shocked.
So casual... is it really possible?
"The game you participated in has been released. I heard that the director also went to play it. He recognized you very much and even wanted you to play the second male lead."
"......!? "
Zhang Seng was stunned .
Ah, this...
But soon, he reacted and suddenly said: "Then Sister Zhang, if I don't need to audition, can I take a break during this period? Can I prepare for the next filming?"
"Yeah."
Sister Zhang looked at him a little strangely, not knowing why he was suddenly so excited.
"Then I'm leaving."
Zhang Seng stood up suddenly and wanted to run away.
"What are you going to do?"
Seeing him like this, his agent Sister Zhang couldn't help but asked.
"To play games! I've been preparing for so long, and I haven't even had time to play games... No, I'm going to hone my acting skills! To prepare!"
Zhang Seng subconsciously said what was in his mind, but halfway through, he realized that something was wrong.
The subject immediately changed.
"..."
The corner of the agent Sister Zhang's mouth twitched: "I heard everything, okay, go out, go out, go play, there's still some time before the shooting starts, just don't mess up when I give you the script."
"Okay." Zhang Seng smiled brightly and prepared to leave.
"Wait."
The agent Sister Zhang suddenly stopped him at the last moment before he turned around.
"Huh?" Zhang Seng looked back in some surprise.
Manager Zhang said earnestly: "After playing the game, remember to call and thank the boss of Linmu Studio. It's good to open the topic with the game... And don't just play games. Pay attention to the theme song that the other party asked you to do last time. Perform better in the recording and manage the relationship well... It may change your life in the future."
"Okay."
Zhang Seng scratched his head. Although he didn't quite understand, he still nodded.
Then, Zhang Seng left.
Manager Zhang watched him leave, then smiled bitterly, turned around and went to a lounge on the second floor and knocked on the door gently.
There was no sound from inside.
Manager Zhang pushed the door open directly.
Another artist under her, Xiang Chen, was lying on a chair. When he heard the door open, he glanced at her and sighed.
"Okay, it's just one chance."
Manager Zhang looked at him like this, sighed, and could only comfort him softly.
She didn't expect it.
The collaboration that she was not optimistic about at the beginning would explode with such a strong power...
Xiang Chen, who was also an artist under her, was invited by Linmu Studio at the beginning but directly refused the cooperation. Now he regrets it.
Originally, the role of Zhang Seng was his...
But now that the game is released, don't say that the director is optimistic about Zhang Seng.
Even if it is for popularity considerations.
Zhang Seng, an actor who inexplicably has great popularity overseas, is more suitable than him.
No one can say anything.
It's outrageous.
While comforting Xiang Chen, the agent Sister Zhang couldn't help but shake her head slightly.
Who knew it would be like this.
The game can even become a hit overseas...
This Linmu Studio is so powerful.
However.
Agent Zhang thought about it.
She felt that this was what Zhang Seng deserved.
If it weren't for his love of games and his repeated requests to participate in the game motion capture, he probably wouldn't have had a chance.
I can only say.
Sometimes you really need a bit of luck...
Agent Zhang thought of this and felt relieved.
What she didn't know was...
At the same time.
There was someone who regretted it more than Xiang Chen, and couldn't let it go at all.
Lu Xiu's predecessor Xu Chunjing, the actress who had previously gone on strike...
Lin Yao kept her word and really let a whole team of lawyers accompany her to play slowly for more than two months.
Her career was greatly affected. Originally
, she felt a little sad after the promotional video came out.
Now she saw the game come out. It
even became a hit overseas.
Her mentality collapsed.
Originally, this was hers!
But now it has nothing to do with her!
The senior executives who instructed her at the beginning didn't say a word!
Why!
Why!
She was furious at her agent, throwing things wildly, and was incompetent and furious.
But no one knew about this.
No one cared.
…
One week after the release of “The Witch”,
more players have completed the ending without killing the witch.
The game’s reviews have completely stabilized.
Although no one dares to make a conclusion whether it is a masterpiece or not, it is a good game that players deserve to play, and no one can refute it.
After the massive growth of word-of-mouth fermentation, the sales of the game gradually slowed down.
Although the staff of Linmu Studio and Lin Yao are looking forward to this work becoming a masterpiece of tens of millions,
it is obvious
that it is definitely impossible in a short time.
The reason is
very simple.
Single channel is indeed not as strong as multi-channel sales… Although the Vaporwave game platform is already very strong, there are also many players in offline channels and console platforms.
Without these players, it is impossible to break through tens of millions in a short time.
However, it is not possible in a short time.
Long-term operation is still possible.
Lin Yao is very confident that this world’s first steampunk-style game can achieve sales of tens of millions.
The main reason is that the early performance of this game is too good.
Next, as the game market continues to expand,
the number of active users of the Vaporwave game platform will increase.
If it continues to operate slowly,
sales will definitely exceed tens of millions.
With such achievements, let’s not talk about the sequel. From the beginning, it was confirmed that the DLC about Witch Xu would definitely be released.
But there is no rush.
After the release of "Witch",
the next focus of Linmu Studio and Lin Yao is the mid-year invitational tournament of the MOBA project.
This event is related to the success or failure of the league system.
It is also very important.
