There is a Problem with This Online Game Planning

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

"what!?"

  Linmu Studio.

  Lin Yao, who was eating breakfast, also made a voice of doubt.

   "You swallow it down..."

   Standing aside, Mu Wanqing looked at Lin Yao, who had puffed round cheeks, a look of astonishment, and a little icing sugar on her rosy mouth, and couldn't help laughing.

"…seriously?"

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

"real."

  Mu Wanqing looked down at the young girl who was eager for knowledge, pursed her lips lightly, turned her head slightly, and then gave a definite answer.

  The same expressions are made by different people.

  The effect will be different.

   Jia Zhang's face of thirst for knowledge will make his subordinates unable to hold back.

   And Lin Yao's expression of thirst for knowledge... Well, it will also make the subordinates unable to hold back.

   “…really unexpected.”

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

   What surprised her wasn't the sales of the album.

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

yesterday.

  After the album is released.

  After the early morning, the e-sports festival version following "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was also released.

   And today is the day when the game is unlocked.

  After twelve noon, the game will be officially unlocked.

Linmu Studio has been announcing and releasing this game for so long, and the game has already appeared three times at the e-sports festival. Logically speaking, most players have already bought the game... So Lin Yao estimates that she is willing to wait for the e-sports version. Players, no more than 500,000.

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

  Especially overseas sales.

To know.

   The benefit of purchasing a special game version to exchange for an album is only available in China.

  Linmu Studio has never cooperated with overseas music platforms.

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

   "It's a good thing, isn't it?" Mu Wanqing said with a smile when she heard Lin Yao's words, "Also, the album sold well."

   "How much?" Lin Yao immediately showed an expression of interest.

  Mu Wanqing reported the data she just learned.

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

  Lin Yao chuckled, feeling good.

Then, she tossed her plump and firm long legs again, kicked the floor, and moved back to the original position including the chair and the person. She picked up the unfinished pineapple bun, took a bite, and said vaguely: "Next Looking at the evaluation after the game was unlocked at noon, the scene of this generation of games is much more exciting than that of the first generation, and I don’t know how the players will accept it.”

   "You mean the fourth level?"

   As the chief housekeeper of Linmu Studio, Mu Wanqing spends time 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 testing.

   "No, the task of this level is too cruel."

  Lin Yao shook her head gently: "I sealed this level and only made the cutscene of the elevator. The player will not be allowed to control the character in the follow-up, and the screen will not even appear. It is equivalent to skipping the whole thing."

  NoRussian is too easy to cause moral controversy.

   Even here, there is no corresponding country at all.

  But as long as you are a normal person, you probably cannot help but feel despair when you witness the tragic tragedy of the fourth level.

  Lin Yao didn't eliminate this level at the beginning of the project, because the whole story line needs to be sorted out.

  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 intentionally removed the prejudices and metaphors in many plots and lines in the game.

  After all, games should look like games.

   Pure is better.

   But even so, even if the controversial levels are removed, the prejudices and metaphors in the game will be removed.

  Compared to the previous one, this work is also quite explosive...

  Lin Yao explained to Mu Wanqing a bit.

"Uh-huh…"

  But Mu Wanqing is really not very interested in games like gun car ball.

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

  So she looks absent-minded, compared to the game Lin Yao talked about, she is more interested in the picture of Lin Yao eating...

  Because she feels very cured…

"never mind."

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

  Mu Wanqing didn't mind either, she smiled lightly, picked up Lin Yao's water glass, and went to pour water for her.

  Lin Yao has never proposed to find a secretary for herself.

   And Mu Wanqing has never suggested... Instead, she took the initiative to undertake a lot of secretarial work.

  Mu Wanqing left.

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

  She intends to take a look at how players evaluate this album.

   As soon as she opened the comment section, Lin Yao couldn't help herself when she saw the first comment. That comment was exactly—"Lin Yao changed the game (crossed out)...music!"

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

  Lin Yao looked at the comments and teased with some amusement: "The new game is about to be unlocked at noon, now cross out the game, what should you do if you like the game more?...Swipe again?"

  …

   What happens when the game is unlocked.

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

   But at this moment.

  They really felt that Lin Yao 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 no well-known artists?

   Please.

   Isn’t music just for listening?

   As long as it sounds nice! It doesn't really matter who sings.

  And this time, in the album of Linmu Studio, there are not only the theme song symphony that can evoke players' memories, but also excellent rock music.

   still sounds good.

   Then what kind of bicycle do you need!

  Game bonuses, carnival e-sports festival bonuses, good music and a lot of money...and cheap.

  These points add up, and the player must not be caught bragging desperately.

  After all, many albums cost more than 30 songs with more than a dozen songs, which is not good.

   It’s a bit outrageous, dare to charge five yuan for a song.

   Compare them.

  The music album of Linmu Studio is simply a ray of light in the dark!

   "Good!!"

   "Next, I want to see who dares to set a price for Keel! Although the price of an online album is difficult to measure, and the author's dedication does need to be rewarded, but you can't do it randomly!"

   "Indeed, if this album can occupy the charts for a few more days and become popular, then the colleagues in the industry will probably take it easy next time when setting prices."

   "A peer? Who is with them, and Linmu Studio is a game company [kimbo]."

   "It seems to be oh, it's outrageous to say it, the games of Linmu Studio have not yet been released, and the album will be smashed first..."

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

   "Isn't it impossible to exchange the album overseas? Can they hear it?"

""Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" e-sports festival version, our domestic version cannot be downloaded in advance, and can only be exchanged for albums, but they can download related audio files a few hours in advance after purchasing this version, which is equivalent to compensation for their inability to Let’s redeem 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 for Lin Yao and the staff to play and comment on the first generation of games. Although these Can’t download it yet, but can already see it.”

   "Damn it!? Is it true? It's blood money!! I regret buying the normal version now! Why didn't I say it earlier!!"

   "The normal version can also be advanced. You only need to make up the difference in the price of the e-sports festival version. You can get a refund and buy it if you can't buy it."

   "Yes, no, I'm going to change it."

   "... Hearing what you said, I am suddenly curious, how many players will buy this e-sports festival version!?"

   "..."

   Community Forum.

   The players were talking, and suddenly they talked about the "leaked" information of the overseas version.

   Then, there are more players who are interested in the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" e-sports festival version.

  The person who broke the news was not wrong.

   But without going to overseas forums.

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

  Like... brothers Hank and David.

  The accounts of the two brothers belong to North America.

   Unless you change it specifically, no matter where the login IP is, it will not change its location.

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

For each account area of ​​the Vaporwave game platform, the best is of course domestic, because the game price must be the lowest. At the same time, various functions of the platform will be tested in the national area first, and many linked activities are generally only available in the national area. For example, this video The album redemption service for the festival version is limited to the domestic market.

   And the second is Europe and the United States, where the most players are.

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

  Although it can only be played locally.

  But for players who don't go out, the difference is actually not that big.

   Hank and David are listening to music in the hotel right now.

  These two brothers, writhing like maggots in a hotel room...

  It is mainly the rock songs of the Queens band at Carnival, which really suits their appetite.

  When they first watched the live broadcast, they were deeply impressed by these songs, and really wanted the exclusive version of the single.

   Now it's finally time.

  In the days when there is no game to watch, it is like rain from heaven.

   "Really cool!"

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

   “Really, 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 all the way to watch the game.

  Of course it is impossible to bring any high-performance computer.

  The two brought a notebook.

  Purchase the game and play the song.

  But if you want to play games, you can't do it at all.

"makes sense."

  Hank looked at the time and found that it was almost eleven o'clock, so he got up immediately: "But can we access the Internet? We don't have ID cards and the like."

   "Passport should be fine too?"

  David thought for a while and replied: "You have to give it a try, don't you want to miss playing the sequel of "Call of Duty" for the first time?"

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

  Hank jumped up from the bed, washed up a bit, put on his shoes and went out with David.

  They are in a foreign country, and they don't understand the language, so there must be trouble.

but.

  The e-sports festival has indeed attracted a lot of overseas users.

   And there are only a few hotels not far from the e-sports festival venue, so they can always meet "citizens" during the offseason... and the food here is delicious, so it won't be boring.

   No, Hank and David saw several familiar figures as soon as they arrived in the lobby.

   They are all the 'fellows' Hank met when he went to the e-sports festival before.

  They will go out now, probably planning to find an Internet cafe to play "Call of Duty".

   Hank and the other party greeted each other, then chatted, and after confirming that they had the same purpose, they went out together.

   Pengcheng as a metropolis.

   Internet cafes are definitely not lacking.

soon.

   Hank and his team found a large chain of Internet cafes.

  Seven or eight men rushed forward.

   Then start negotiating with the front desk.

front desk.

  The **** duty was dumbfounded when she saw another seven or eight foreigners running in.

  Why are there so many foreigners today! ?

   Didn’t they just come in a batch...why are they coming again?

  Although she knows that Linmu Studio recently held an e-sports festival, which attracted many overseas players.

  But Internet cafes don’t hold events…

  The **** duty couldn’t figure it out, but she has good professionalism and has experienced it several times before, so when faced with the negotiation, she skillfully quoted the price of the one-hour Internet fee.

  Then, she looked at Hank and the others, and after confirming that they were all adults, she started to boot them up with a temporary card...

   And at the same time.

  The same scene is also being staged in other Internet cafes around the e-sports festival venue.

  Most Internet cafe owners are dumbfounded when faced with this situation.

no way.

  They know that overseas tourists can drive the economy.

  But they really don't know...Tourists can also drive the Internet cafe economy...

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

   Actually.

   It's not just them.

  The relevant departments of Pengcheng are all confused.

  So many overseas viewers went to the Internet cafes at the Linmu E-sports Festival, and some Internet cafe managers were unsure, so they went to inquire, so they soon found out.

   And their thoughts are more straightforward... I think, Nima is outrageous!

  …Back to Hank.

  As the person involved, he didn't think it was outrageous.

  One of the most watched games of Linmu Studios this year is released today, and today is the offseason. If you don’t play it, you’re still human?

  After confirming that the Internet cafe can access the Internet, he feels at ease.

  While queuing up to pay the fee to go online, he started chatting with the 'fellow townsman' in front of him.

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

   "Yeah, I love the game, and I love their music!"

   Hank nodded, then looked back at the people behind him: "...Hey, brother?"

   "Me too." The people behind him nodded.

   "Then it looks like we all bought the Esports Festival version of the game."

After Hanke asked the last person, as if he had discovered a new world, he said 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 there are quite a few players who bought this version what…"

   "What The Fuck..."

  The man in front of Hank suddenly let out an exclamation.

   interrupts Hank.

   "What's wrong?" Hank asked a little strangely.

   "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, with a face full of fear: "Damn it!!"

"Oh?"

  Hank immediately became interested.

  …

at the same time.

  Sky fox.

  After Mou Feng came back from the breakfast shop, after the initial shock, astonishment, and disbelief...he has been listening to the album released by Linmu Studio.

  While listening, work at the same time.

   Then after a cycle, the work at hand came to an end.

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

  The reason why I didn’t watch it just now.

  Mainly because of embarrassment...

   Although no one heard.

  But he still needs to save face, just after complaining about the futility of Linmu Studio’s reorganization of those bells and whistles, then his album was blown off the charts... This made him feel uncomfortable psychologically.

  So I haven’t watched it all the time.

   This will finally be adjusted.

   Look at the comments of players or more precisely users.

  Mou Feng sighed, completely convinced.

  Just now, after listening to all the songs in the album, he admitted that it really makes sense for this album to be popular...

   Before he returned to Tianhu, including now after returning to Tianhu.

   All of them play the games of Forest Studio.

  As for the carnival and e-sports festival held by Linmu Studio, he has also been paying attention.

   So it is no exaggeration to say.

  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 happy...

   After all, the song is really nice.

   There is also a memory bonus.

   And the feeling that surfaced in his heart also made him understand one thing...the release of the album by Linmu Studio is really not some fancy and useless work.

   On the contrary, it is a very clever strategy!

   "Changed the music?"

Mou Feng slid the mouse wheel to return to the top of the comment area, then looked at the reply with the most likes, nodded, and murmured: "Indeed...Although at this price, the album is clearly a loss. Yelling, the cost can only be recovered at most, and if the share is counted, it will definitely lose money, but as long as more people know about the games of Linmu Studio, even through the channel of music, it will still make money.

  Compared to the little money lost on the album, it’s insignificant at all…”

   Ding Dong.

  Suddenly.

  Mou Feng's mobile phone rang, interrupting him.

  A message from Li Guangsheng.

  Mou Feng was a little strange, looked away from the screen, and picked up the phone.

"Oh my God…"

  Li Guangsheng sent this sentence, followed by six points.

   Then, a screenshot was sent.

  Mu Feng was stunned for a moment, and then clicked on the following screenshot.

   After seeing the content of the screenshot clearly.

   Instantly.

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

  The content of the screenshot is very simple.

   is the official account of Linmu Studio on domestic social media, which posted a picture.

  The above lists the pre-sale data of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" so far.

  —8725142 copies!

   Three traditional host platforms, plus PC platform.

  A total of eight million copies were sold!

  8.7 million copies! !

   See this figure.

  Mou Feng felt his head was congested and was about to explode...

   What the **** kind of scary number is this! !

   And behind.

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

in.

  The normal version sells the most, there is no doubt about it.

   But what is outrageous is... the e-sports festival's linkage version, even when the pre-sale just started yesterday, it sold a full 1 million copies!

  The pre-sale only opened last night!

   It's less than twenty-four hours!

   Sales exceeded one million copies! That's more than some games sell in a year!

   You know, this linkage version is much more expensive than the normal version!

   And at this point, the game hasn't even been officially unlocked yet!

   "..."

  Mou Feng's pupils trembled, his lips trembled slightly, his whole body seemed to be daydreaming, fluttering...

   After a long time.

   He managed to slow down, and finally looked away from the phone and looked at the computer screen.

  On the computer screen, the comment page of the album is also displayed...

  He looked at the comment with the highest praise, thought of what he had just said, and tremblingly said: "They are a fart!!"

  …

  Landwood Workshop before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 unlocked.

  Directly disclose pre-sale data.

   once again fueled the popularity of the game.

   And this is a simple and direct fire.

   That bright number.

   It directly caused the entire industry and all players to call out horror, and their pupils trembled wildly.

  Because really...you are too outrageous!

   Before the game is unlocked, the pre-sale sales of the game are approaching 9 million, moving towards 10 million, which is simply unheard of! !

  The official account of Linmu Studio's domestic social media.

  Reply surge!

   Player community.

   Countless players shouted awesome to express their shock.

   "This is too outrageous..."

   "Nearly 9 million! How many games have officially sold more than 9 million this year? This is still a pre-sale!"

  “This series is estimated to become a part of game history, it’s crazy!!”

   "Linmu Studio is amazing!...How much money does this have to cost!"

   "Where is the buddy who asked about the sales of the e-sports festival version earlier! Look... one million! Fuck! Players are really rich!"

   "Lin Yao! I like you! Can you let me marry you!? I don't like money! I just want to try the taste of being married!"

"Just you? Outrageous! After the game is unlocked, the data is estimated to increase! This data... I can only say that it depends on the game after it is unlocked. If the quality is good, it will enter the history of honor, and if the quality is poor, it will enter the history of shame. In short, there will definitely be such the name of the game."

   "At first I wasn't interested in FPS, but now seeing this data, to be honest, I want to play it..."

   "..."

  The heat of the game.

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

  And Lin Yao wanted such an effect.

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

At half past eleven.

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

   Browsing around the forum.

  Lin Yao is very satisfied.

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

  But before getting up.

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

   "...idiot, really changed."

  Lin Yao glanced at the comment section, was slightly taken aback, then smiled lightly, got up and left the office.

  Click.

  The door is closed.

  The office fell into silence.

  But Lin Yao's computer screen is still on, and it still stays in the comment area of ​​the album.

  And the comment with the most likes above is still the one that says 'Lin Yao changed the music', which has not changed.

   It’s just that, under that comment, there is a new reply that has just been posted ten minutes ago, but has thousands of likes——

   "Lin Yao changed the game (cross out), the music (cross out again)...still the game!!"

  (end of this chapter)
