There's really something wrong with this online game plan

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

"what!?"

Forest studio.

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

"You swallow it down..."

Mu Wanqing stood aside, looking at Lin Yao, who had bulging round cheeks, a look of astonishment, and a little icing sugar on her ruddy mouth, she 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 expression, made by different people.

The effect will be different.

Jia Zhang's eagerness for knowledge will make his subordinates unable to hold back.

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

"...It was 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.

It wasn't the album's sales that surprised her.

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

yesterday.

After the album was released.

As soon as the morning passed, the e-sports festival version that followed "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" was also on the shelves.

And today is the day 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 The number of players will not exceed 50.

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 special game versions to redeem albums 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...

"Isn't this a good thing?" Mu Wanqing said with a smile when she heard Lin Yao's words, "Also, the album is selling well."

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

Mu Wanqing reported the data she just learned.

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

Lin Yao chuckled and was in a good mood.

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 every day with Lin Yao. Even though she is not interested in stand-alone games, she has heard about the fourth level that caused a great uproar during the internal testing.

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

Lin Yao shook her head lightly: "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 even the screen will not appear, which is equivalent to skipping the whole thing."

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

Even here, there is no corresponding country at all.

But as long as he is a normal person, it is estimated that when he witnesses the tragic tragedy of the fourth level, he will feel despair.

Lin Yao didn't eliminate this level when she first set up 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 intentionally removed the prejudices and metaphors in many plots and lines in the game.

After all, a game should look like a game.

Just a little better.

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

Compared with the previous work, this work is also quite explosive...

Lin Yao explained to Mu Wanqing a little bit.

"Uh-huh……"

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

She doesn't have to worry about Lin Mu Studio's products either.

So she seemed absent-minded. Compared with the game Lin Yao talked about, she was 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 never made any suggestion... Instead, she took the initiative to take on 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 Linmu Studio's music album.

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

But as soon as she opened the comment section, Lin Yao couldn't help but see the first comment, which was exactly—"Lin Yao changed the game (cross 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 will 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.

Players don't know, and haven't thought about it yet.

But at the moment.

They really felt that Lin Yao had 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 well-known artists?

Please.

Isn't music just for listening?
It sounds good!It doesn't really matter who sings.

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

They all sound good.

Then what kind of bicycle is needed!

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

Adding these points together, players can't help but brag desperately.

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

Outrageous, dare to charge five yuan for a song.

Compare with them.

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

"Next, I want to see who dares to set Keir's price! 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."

"Peer together? Who is with them, Linmu Studio is the 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 sounds of the two Call of Duty games on the basis of the album... There is also a sub-track where Lin Yao and the staff played and commented on the first generation of games, although These can’t be downloaded yet, but they can already be seen.”

"Fuck!? Is it real or fake? 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 price difference of the e-sports festival version. You can get a refund and buy it if you can't buy it."

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

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

"..."

on the community forum.

As the players talked, they suddenly mentioned the 'leaked' information about the overseas version.

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

And the person who broke the news was not wrong.

But no need to go 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.

For example... brothers Hank and David.

The accounts of the two brothers belong to North America.

If you do not 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 secondly, it is Europe and the United States with the most players.

For example, this time, players in these account regions 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, there is actually not much difference.

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

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

It's mainly Carnival's rock songs by Queen, which really suit 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 here.

On the days when there are no games to watch, it is simply rain from the sky.

"It's really cool!"

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

"Indeed, value for 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 of them brought a notebook.

It's okay to buy games and play songs.

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, and immediately got up: "But can we go online? 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's not boring.

No, as soon as Hank and David came to the lobby, they saw a few familiar figures.

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

They will go out now, and they are 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 is a metropolis.

There is definitely no shortage of Internet cafes.

soon.

Hanke 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 girl on 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 here...why did they come again?
Although she knew that Linmu Studio recently held an e-sports festival, which attracted many overseas players.

But Internet cafes don't host events...

The girl on duty couldn't figure it out, but she has good professionalism, and she 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.

Faced with this situation, most Internet cafe owners are dumbfounded.

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...

It can only be said that it is worthy of Linmu Studio.

In fact.

Not just them.

The relevant departments in Pengcheng were all dumbfounded.

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

And their thoughts are much more straightforward... They feel that 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 felt relieved.

While queuing up to pay the fee to go online, I began to chat with the 'fellow townsman' in front of the line.

"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 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 players who bought this version are not less..."

"What The Fuck..."

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

interrupted Hank.

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

"Limwood Studio just 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!!!"

"Oh?"

Hank was immediately intrigued.

……

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.

Work while listening.

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.

Just didn't watch it.

Mainly because of embarrassment...

Although no one heard it.

But he still needs to save face, just after complaining about the futility of Linmu Studio's frivolity, his album has been wiped off the charts... This made him feel uncomfortable psychologically.

So I never watched it.

This will finally be adjusted.

Look at the comments of players or more precisely users.

Mou Feng sighed, completely convinced.

After listening to all the songs in the album just now, he admitted that there is indeed a reason for the popularity of this album...

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

There are games played by 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 can also be regarded as half a fan of Linmu Studio...

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

After all, the song is really nice.

Plus memories.

And the feeling that emerged in his heart also made him understand one thing... Linmu Studio's release of the album is really not some fancy and useless effort.

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 If you earn money, you can only recover the cost at most. If you count the share, you will definitely lose money, but as long as more people know about the games of Linmu Studio, even through the channel of music, it is still profitable.

In comparison, the little money lost from the album is insignificant at all..."

Ding dong.

suddenly.

Mou Feng's mobile phone rang, interrupting him.

A message from Li Guangsheng.

Mou Feng was a little surprised, 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 posted.

Mou Feng froze for a moment, then clicked on the screenshot below.

After seeing the content of the screenshot clearly.

moment.

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

The content of the screenshot is very simple.

That is, on domestic social media, the official account of Linmu Studio 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 the PC platform.

In total, 800 million copies were sold!
870 million copies! ! !

see this number.

Mou Feng felt that his head was congested with blood, and he was about to explode...

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

And behind.

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

among them.

There is no doubt that the regular version sells the most.

But what's outrageous is... the joint version of the e-sports festival sold a full 100 million copies when the pre-sale just started yesterday!

The pre-sale just opened last night!
It's less than 24 hours!
Sales exceeded 100 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, and he seemed to be daydreaming, lightly...

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 likes, thought of what he said just now, and tremblingly said: "They're a loser!!!"

……

Forest Workshop before Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was unlocked.

Directly disclose pre-sale data.

Added fuel to the heat of the game again.

And this is a simple and direct fire.

Those bright numbers.

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

Because it's really... you are too outrageous!
Before the game is unlocked, the pre-sale sales of the game are approaching 900 million, heading towards [-] million, which is simply unheard of! ! !

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

Replies skyrocketed!

community of players.

There are countless players shouting awesome, expressing their shock.

"This is too outrageous..."

"Nearly 900 million! How many games have officially sold more than 900 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 have!!"

"Where is the buddy who asked about the sales of the e-sports festival version earlier! Look... 100 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 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 The name of the game."

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

"..."

The heat of the game.

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

But Lin Yao wanted such an effect.

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

11: 30.

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

Wandered around the forum.

Lin Yao was 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... She sat down again, opened the Sizhu Yueting platform, and then turned to the album comment section.

"...Idiot, it 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.

There was silence in the office.

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

And the comment with the most likes above is still the "Lin Yao changed the music", which has not changed.

However, under that comment, there was a new reply that was just posted 10 minutes ago but received thousands of likes——

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

(End of this chapter)
