After the holiday, comic island has been lively.
In addition to the employees of Phoenix company who come back to work shopping, there are also many tourists taking photos under cherry trees. Winter has not yet completely subsided. However, many cherry trees can already see new shoots. This spring may be earlier than in previous years.
Alice and Li Qin returned to Ninghai the day before yesterday, while Meng Huo and Shen Jie only returned to comic Island today. When Phoenix company started to work, most of Huaxia enterprises had not reworked.
The reason why they started working so early is that they have too many businesses. It goes without saying that the weekly comic series can not be stopped, and the animation can never be empty. There are also two major events to be prepared, one is the release of the game "white album", the other is the preparation of the release of "the story of treason in the magic girl''s little theater version".
The first is the game. It''s only a few days before the release time. Meng Huo''s first job is to go to the game department to learn about the situation.
The game department is the busiest department at the beginning of work. The employees in it are busy, talking on the phone. Some agents are here to discuss the sale with He Xi. When they find Meng Huo coming in, they all rush to him.
"Teacher He Xi!"
"Isn''t that teacher He Xi? Last time I invited you, you didn''t have time. You have to eat with us today. "
"Yes, Mr. He Xi, are you free at noon?"
Agents sent out invitations one after another, and finally met Meng Huo. They were not willing to give up this opportunity. However, in the past, Meng Huo always asked his secretary to attend the banquet. Today, it''s really hard for him to refuse these people''s invitation.
"No problem. I''ll arrange the lunch. Then you can go together." Meng Huo said that these people are representatives of dealers who come to help with white album. He can''t neglect them.
"Did the teacher come here to ask about the sale of the game?" At this time, He Xi asked on one side.
Meng Huo nodded: "I want to know how the preparation for sale?"
"So far, everything is going well." He said: "the game has now completed 700000 shipments, enough to deal with all the unexpected situation after the sale."
Meng Huo was a little surprised. There are still several days to go before the game is put on sale. At the same time, the shipment volume of the game was about 4.5 million. This figure can cope with the upsurge after the game is put on sale, because this is not the final figure, but just the preliminary preparation.
In full preparation, through the heat survey after the sale, Phoenix company can understand the follow-up shipment, there is a lot of room and space for operation. However, 700000 copies, when it comes to sale, there will be at least millions of ready for shipment. This number
"Is it too much?" Meng Huo is a little worried. The previous game preparation work is not so sufficient. The amount of millions of copies is enough to match the total sales of some games in the past.
"Not much at all, Miss He Xi." At this time, a dealer said with a smile: "you don''t know the situation. Our branches in major cities have been open to the public since the Spring Festival. Now there are more than 100000 orders."
"Our bookings are amazing, too."
"The sales volume of" white album "may exceed 1.5 million, but it is worrying that there is no 700000 stock now."
Other dealers followed.
He Xi explained to Meng Huo that "white album" has opened its reservation on the Internet and many game stores. Its reservation quantity and popularity are more than all previous games, and it is still on the rise. Its total sales will definitely surpass "clannad".
In addition to the increase in the number of players in the game market itself, the number of people scheduled this time is mainly due to the howling of Meng Huo''s voice. This event has caused a great sensation all over the country. The number of female players is increasing rapidly. The "white album" has become one of the most female players in Meng Huo''s previous text adventure games.
Of course, the factor of selling time can not be ignored. Now it is just after the Spring Festival and before the beginning of school. During this period, people are most free and young people have the most pocket money. It''s always a good time for games to sell. It''s impossible for sales to go up.
Meng Huo was relieved. A few days later, "white album" was officially put on sale. This game, which was reported by the media as "N Street, an adventure game with beautiful pictures, excellent music and other words" before it was put on sale, immediately caused a crazy buying boom.
But not two days after the sale, there was a burst of crying and crying in the market.
"Don''t play if you have a bad heart - don''t play if you have a bad heart" and "stomach ache game! Who plays, who plays“ Sure enough, I can''t play teacher He Xi''s game. I cried bitterly. White album is a nightmare. My heart is broken when I play it——The first batch of clearance players sent out friendly tips on the Internet with a heavy heart. This game is terrible. Once trapped, the players'' mood will fluctuate with the development of the story, and its overall plot is cruel and tangled. No matter which heroine is chosen, it will make people feel painful.
"Chunxi is not a bad man, Xuecai is not a bad woman, and Hesha is not a bad woman - but this is the most excessive part of white album!! Clearly everyone cherishes the other two as much as possible, but why always go the wrong way? Their actions will always hurt other people... It''s the same as in reality. It''s real and cruel... It''s really abusive! "
The plot and music of "white album" can be regarded as a masterpiece, but the plot is too cruel, and different from "clannad", it doesn''t give you sugar after the abuse, but it doesn''t give you cure after the abuse.
Many people on the Internet began to complain, "I''m just playing a game. Do I need to write so heartrending?"
"Torture to death."—— The first time to play the game in the group of players, some love drama lovers sister also a little can''t stand, it''s too cruel, but the details and delicate people want to reduce the damage is very difficult to do.
"Isn''t it good to write sunny? It''s just like a romantic drama. It hurts. I regret buying it! "
Some fans can find something to comfort themselves in "white album" - the dubbing of idols.
"Teacher He Xi''s sad voice is wonderful, alas... Why I''m not with gauze or sauerkraut, even if I''m hurt, if I can hear teacher He Xi speak to me so gently, I''ll admit it!"
"In the process of ear pregnancy, I''ve been circulating the key lines endlessly. It''s really enjoyable!"
"I went to the dubbing of Teacher He Xi. It doesn''t matter how abusive I am. Although I cried a lot, teacher He Xi''s voice is really lovable. But the script is really wonderful. I didn''t expect that the word adventure game was like this... "
There are also some female players who are scared by the high-quality plot of "white photo album". The delicacy and emotion of the game are even better than those of romance, and some people even change their prejudice against the word adventure game.
"The original text adventure game is such a touching type of game, I thought it was for men!"
"I''m beginning to be interested in this kind of game. In fact, it''s good. The emotional description is really delicate!"
Of course, after the views of these female players came out, they were immediately reminded that not every word adventure game is a word adventure game of He Xi.
"Teacher He Xi''s word adventure game and other people''s is not a dimensional product."
"Most of the text adventure games are actually for boys to vent, with the exception of Mr. He Xi and a few manufacturers. I''d like to introduce these game providers that are suitable for girls to play. They..."
A few days after the game was released, the media came to the conclusion that "white album" was a great success, and its sales volume created a new height of text adventure game. Most of the comments are positive. Although he Xi''s game is cruel, it has long been well known. In addition to the pain of the new players, the old players are generally calm.
The key is that the plot quality of "white album" is quite high. Among the scores of many media, it has become the top three of He Xi''s previous text adventure games. In the past year, the scores of hundreds of text adventure games sold by Huaxia can''t be compared with it, and the sales volume is extremely different.
"White album" is the best text adventure game in recent two years, which has no suspense in the eyes of the media, and the old players are also very satisfied with its quality: "it''s worth waiting so long
He Xi has not launched a new work in the word adventure game industry for a long time, and his influence has been declining slowly. However, a white album once again proves his unshakable position in this industry, which makes many word adventure game developers hate and love.
The reason for hate is needless to say, and the reason for love is very simple. After the appearance of "white album", the text adventure game of love triangle elements will definitely become a hot topic. Many developers have begun to look for love triangle scripts.
He Xi''s every game can always set off a trend - but this matter is no longer important to him and the game production department. After the sales volume of white album broke through the peak, Meng Huo held a celebration for the game department, and everyone gave out red envelopes to encourage them to make persistent efforts in the new year.
The new year of the game department is very auspicious. In the future, in addition to doing some simple work for the follow-up activities of "white album", the employees will put most of their energy on the development of "Pokemon". They will launch a new work of "Pokemon" at this year''s Carnival.It''s a big deal. In fact, Phoenix''s best-selling game is Pokemon. The sales volume of white album is in the word adventure game, but it''s still less than one third of Pokemon.
The portable, simple and interesting Pokemon game has attracted an amazing number of players in China. Every month, some cities hold offline player gatherings, and the participants are even more than the free show. This has brought more revenue and influence to Phoenix company and its partners than expected.
The upgrading of this game involves the interests of dozens of companies. Now, the game development process of Pokemon has been listed as the focus by Phoenix company, and there are several game companies to cooperate with. Even Meng Huo can''t easily delay it.
But in fact, he is very happy to see this scene, because "Pokemon" has gradually become a series of industries, there are countless people in the careful care of this brand. This is a good thing, and Meng Huo doesn''t need to pay too much attention.
Of course, in addition to Pokemon, He Xi managed to get more information about world of Warcraft from Meng Huo during the celebration - she and her staff still didn''t give up the development of the game and always tried to speed up the process.
For Meng Huo, as long as they can normally complete the tasks of the company, he will turn a blind eye to the world of Warcraft. Those employees who work overtime for the game will not ask for a raise, so what reason does he have to refuse?
He expects these people to make progress. Once there is great progress, it is needless to say that Meng Huo will also push the game into a formal work project. In fact, the rumor of "world of Warcraft" has gradually appeared in Phoenix company, and many employees are full of curiosity about this mysterious masterpiece.
Meng Huo once worried about the age gap, but now he finds that world of Warcraft is still very attractive to people in this world.
After the sale of the game, Meng Huo''s work focuses on the upcoming "the story of treason in the magic girl''s little theater version". This is the third film released after the establishment of DreamWorks, and their production efficiency is amazing.
Compared with the game of "white album", the movie "the story of treason in the magic girl''s little theater" has obviously caused more topics in the media. Although it has the title of "animated movie", the movie is a movie after all, and the media are keen to compare it with other movies released during the Spring Festival.
Movies during the Spring Festival have always been known as new year''s Eve shows. Because of the progress of production, the story of treason of the magic girl''s little round theater did not catch up with the new year''s Eve show, but it was regarded as an escape by many media - because the Spring Festival blockbuster just past was the highest box office Spring Festival market in recent years.
During the past Spring Festival, there were several highly anticipated animated films. Most of these animated films were made after seeing the blockbusters of Phoenix company and Zhongxia company last year. They wanted to make a fortune during the Spring Festival, but they were all taken off the shelves soon after they were released because there were too many popular blockbusters.
This phenomenon has been widely reported by some media, ridiculed as "animation film is vulnerable in front of traditional film", which has also caused a very big blow to the entire animation film industry.
There is a tense atmosphere wandering inside Phoenix company. Whether the story of treason in the magic girl''s little theater version [new chapter] can achieve the same success as last year at the end of the new year''s festival, including some employees of DreamWorks, are uncertain.
But Meng Huo is not worried at all, because in addition to Phoenix company, Zhongxia company''s new films will also be released at the end of new year''s Eve. He believes that the market effect will not be worse when two big companies launch animated films
