Chapter 784: Let’s sing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
Although the game reminds many times that skins will not affect the recharge experience, and at most they will look better, this cannot stop players from recharging their enthusiasm at all.
There are even many people who refuse to allow him to recharge, the more he will charge.
In this wave, many Leopard Heads also broke the habit of zero-recharge and spent 30 to buy a monthly card.
More and more people are recharging, and the number of downloads has skyrocketed.
At around 1 p.m., "Three Kingdoms" officially exceeded 30 million downloads.
Wei Chao tried to make another call, haha, but the phone was still turned off.
"Brother Chao, you know how annoying your behavior is. The boss will definitely beat you up when he comes back."
"Go, go, I'll beat you up, play the third song!" Wei Chao waved his hand.
A minute later, an announcement from "Three Kingdoms" popped up: "Congratulations on the number of downloads of "Three Kingdoms" exceeding 30 million. The third song "Three Kingdoms" has been unlocked. Welcome to listen."
There are many songs about the Three Kingdoms, but not many are good to listen to and well suited to the game.
"Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is a popular Three Kingdoms song.
The author, tank Lu Jianzhong, fought his way out when King Tao Lin of Zhou was sweeping the music scene.
His songs are full of strong RNB style and are highly recognizable.
And he is particularly good at writing works about confusion and pain. Unfortunately, this outstanding musician was lost to the times after his short-lived appearance in the Chinese music scene due to heart disease.
After debuting for more than ten years, Tank only has a few hundred thousand fans, which is not even comparable to that of any online anchor.
But in 2006, this song "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" became extremely popular, and now it has a place on every major list.
In the Shinhwa office, Wei Chao also turned on the music.
The beginning is filled with fierce drum beats and charging roars, which is in line with the temperament of the Three Kingdoms.
Many people like the Three Kingdoms, but they don’t even know what kind of era the Three Kingdoms was.
They think the Three Kingdoms are very romantic, and imagine living a happy life in that era, watching the sunrise and sunset, and the clouds rolling in and out.
However, the Three Kingdoms are in troubled times. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass. No matter how beautiful the little life is, it will be destroyed in the face of iron hoof.
"General, the northern Cangliang is occupied,
Six horses and twelve soldiers, waiting for your visit,
Hu Qin tells of heroic deeds,
The defeated army moved south and far north. ”
War is happening everywhere, and no one can stay out of it.
Wei Chao liked this perspective very much. He had also imagined traveling to the Three Kingdoms and then joining the army to start a career.
Why not just travel through time and become a general?
Wei Chao felt that he didn't have that ability. Besides, there were only so many generals in the Three Kingdoms, so why should he be the one?
He has always felt that he is a very unlucky person. He has been making games for so many years, but none of them have been popular. If he hadn't met Xu, he might not have been able to get ahead in his life.
"My hometown is in the beautiful distance,
Hope is on you,
Dreams are wandering,
The remaining energy on your shoulders,
How far can it go? ”
Since he is a soldier, he will naturally have thoughts that ordinary people should have, such as homesickness.
Many people join the army without any lofty ambitions. Whether they compete in the world or cook wine and talk about heroes, it has nothing to do with them. Their only thought is to drive the enemy out of their hometown.
They join the military just to go home and have a better home.
The verse part is very nice, the drum set has a strong rhythm and a strong rock flavor.
The chorus was about to come, and Wei Chao cleared his throat. This was his favorite part.
However, before he could speak, he was grabbed by several colleagues.
"Brother Chao, stop it! Stop singing, I'm almost going to puke because of your singing!"
"Brother Chao, you will die!"
"Please, Brother Chao, I want to live."
Wei Chao was furious, "What's wrong with my singing? I have to sing today!"
He slammed the office door and sang a dramatic tune at the top of his voice.
"Waiting for the moment when my beloved returns,
Tears sing for you. ”
The opera tune is good, but it also depends on who sings it. Wei Chao did it.
Just look at everyone’s reaction.
Everyone looked like they were foaming at the mouth.
They were poisoned by Wei Chao here, and the players were still very excited to hear it. After all, it was a genuine drama.
"This is interesting!"
"This is a great perspective, first the soldier, and then the wife."
"If this is a troubled world, you and I are just pawns."
Players can actually empathize most with such pawns. We are all ordinary people.
The music continues.
"Blue rain falls in front of my eyes,
Tears of pride dare not abandon my eyes,
On the day I left you,
Gray dreams sleep beside me,
I should have gotten used to nights without you,
Face it bravely. ”
The opera only sung two short lines, which gave the audience a little enjoyment.
Next, I continued to sing about the longing and memories of the soldiers, with tears streaming down my face, but only when we have a country can we have a home. If we can’t keep the country, where can we have a home? Let’s fight, we must fight.
"Red Cliff, a raging battle,
Only 70,000 of our brothers died,
Writing a diary on the water of the Yangtze River,
May you see the ripples too. ”
These last few lyrics are quite poorly written, and the word "only" seems ridiculous.
But then again, the word "only" is used just right. Seventy thousand people died, and the soldiers were thankful that few people died, which further illustrates the cruelty of the war.
Or, in troubled times, it is the greatest luxury.
They all say that the Three Kingdoms are wonderful, but many people don’t know how difficult it is for the people of the Three Kingdoms. During the period of Emperor Huan of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the country's population was about 50 million. How many people were there when the Three Kingdoms were in power? More than 7 million people.
There were more than 4 million people in Cao Wei, more than 900,000 in Shu Han, and more than 2 million in Soochow. With years of wars, frequent plagues, and continuous famines, more than 40 million people disappeared under the wheel of the times.
This is the tragedy of the times.
After listening to the song "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the players were silent for a while, and then... continued to play the game.
The songs are great and the game is fun. The most important thing is that everyone is worried that this game will become out of print.
For fear of being discovered at the recharge entrance, you can only recharge a maximum of 30 yuan to 30 yuan, and it looks like you don't want people to recharge money.
"Hurry up and play. You won't be able to play until it goes bankrupt."
“Hey, Nuo Yan’s brain has been kicked by a donkey, and he doesn’t even make any money?”
In this way, the number of downloads is increasing. Some people are trying to unlock the fourth song, and some are trying to get the skins of Diao Chan and Zhao Yun.
Xiang Xiang looked at the download data of the four games, and his expression turned ugly.
According to this progress, "Three Kingdoms" will surpass "Three Kingdoms" sooner or later.
This is an unacceptable failure for them, but it doesn't matter, if you can't beat it, then just copy it.
Over the years, no one has been able to match them in terms of producing wonderful copies.
In the afternoon, Elephant held an internal meeting to discuss the feasibility of "learning from" "Three Kingdoms".
"It's feasible. This game is not difficult. They call it "Three Kingdoms", we call it "Water Margin", "Journey to the West" and "Datang". You can kill anything, including military commander skills and card gameplay. With our huge The user base is at your fingertips.”
"Poach some people from Shinhwa to make progress faster."
Seeing that "Story of the Three Kingdoms" was no longer available, Xiangxiang immediately started a new project and started poaching people that night.
Wei Chao didn't know it yet, but he was still performing "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for everyone.
"Brother Chao, a few people just asked to leave." The staff found Wei Chao.
Wei Chao frowned, "What happened? Didn't the bonuses just come out?"
At noon, when the download volume of "Three Kingdoms" exceeded 30 million, he gave a bonus to the project team. It had only been a few hours, and "Three Kingdoms" was getting hot, but someone wanted to leave?
"Well, I said I'm feeling unwell and want to go home and recuperate for a while."
Wei Chao narrowed his eyes, "Give them paid leave."
The staff sighed, "Brother Chao, we haven't used up all of our annual leave for one month."
"You think the salary is not enough?" Wei Chao asked.
"The salary was raised just last month. I have researched my colleagues and found that this salary is already at the upper level." HR said.
"They all have the same cause?"
"No, some said they felt unwell and wanted to rest, and some said they wanted to go back to their hometown."
"There is no work problem, right?"
"Yes."
Wei Chao understood immediately, "Someone must be poaching."
"It should be, but it hasn't been found out yet."
Wei Chao was silent for a while, and he lost his operatic nature. He waved his hand with some enthusiasm, "Let them go, and the follow-up bonuses will be made up, so we can get together and go away."
"This..." The staff was a little unhappy.
Everyone has left, and bonuses are still being given out. It’s a panic to burn the money.
"Come on, it's hard work, they deserve it."
At Shinhwa Company, the atmosphere in the "Three Kingdoms" project team is a bit strange.
The seven colleagues who had just celebrated with everyone left Shinhwa holding their belongings with sad expressions.
In the workplace, there is indeed no loyalty at all. However, at the moment of success, someone chooses to leave, which is even more unacceptable than leaving the Seventh Steel Company as a talent.
Wei Chao came to the "Three Kingdoms" project team and watched several people leave.
"Brother Chao, I'm sorry..."
Wei Chao waved his hand and sniffed, "Go ahead, you can do it anywhere."
"I..."
Several people looked at each other and walked out in silence.
Wei Chao sent them outside and said, "We have worked together for so many years. I have one last question I want to ask you. You can say it or not."
Several people stopped and said, "Brother Chao, tell me."
"Who did it?"
The leader hesitated for a moment and said softly: "Elephant."
Wei Chao nodded slightly, "Yes, the leader, it's a good place."
Few people spoke.
"Go ahead and wish you a bright future."
Wei Chao turned around and returned to the company.
People who can be poached cannot be retained no matter what. What makes him even more frightened is that the poacher is an elephant.
Not to mention that Shinhwa is powerless to resist, not even the stars can stop it.
You can even think of the next move, major companies will come to poach people, people will be poached, and they will develop crappy games.
Wei Chao promised to call with concern.
He couldn't solve this problem, so he could only leave it to Xu Nuo.
The call finally got through.
