Chapter 646: Soaring pre-sale results


Chapter 646 The soaring pre-sale results

August 30.

There are still 4 days left before "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" released on September 3.

At the same time, it has been 5 days since Xu Xiyu's four children were born.

These days, Xu Xiyu has been in Shanghai and did not return to the capital until the evening of the 30th, meeting Ke Anran and Ke Wuyang.

As mentioned before, whether it was Ke Xinying or Lu Qinyao, they planned to give their child a surname Xu at the beginning.

But after experiencing the Ling Yi incident and Liu Yutao's hype that "Xu Xiyu gave birth to a child with a 3 woman", in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, everyone finally chose to take their mother's surname.

Including Yang Xueqing's side, the same will happen if she is born in the future.

It is difficult for people who have never experienced it to understand the feeling of becoming a father for the first time.

On Shanghai, Xu Xiyu was so fond of the two small glutinous rice dumplings; when he returned to the capital, he felt like he was about to melt when he saw these two small gas tanks.

No intention to work.

Nothing to do anything at all.

Xu Xiyu's mind was full of staying at home and didn't want to care about anything.

This state may have to last for seven or eight days before it can calm down.

But others can't learn from him, and their work has to be advanced.

Not to mention anything else, just talking about the group integration work, it has been going on.

At the same time, various businesses are also developing rapidly. Now is the time to be busy, so how can we stop?

Especially for the project team of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend", it is now even more critical and the pressure is too great.

After a lot of pressure, I naturally want to find someone who is "tall" to calm my heart.

So, who is taller?

It must be Xu Xiyu!

Looking at the entire group, who else can be taller than Xu Xiyu’s?

The most important thing is that he is the boss, and it is natural to report to the boss and seek instructions!

So, as the boss's personal assistant, Shan Xinbao's phone was inevitably blown up. These days, she can be said to be answering the phone all the time.

Fortunately, she is used to it.

Because she used to be in this state of work. In such a large company, the more busy the boss is, the more busy the assistant is. Even if the boss is idle, the assistant is likely to be the same, unless the company goes bankrupt.

On the evening of August 30, at 10 o'clock, Xu Xiyu's house...

Shan Xinbao sat on a chair in the backyard of the villa, doing eye exercises while shaving his hands with his hands on his eyes, while talking to Fu Zhicheng, the head of the promotion and distribution team of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

"Mr. Dan, isn't Mr. Xu still free?"

This problem made the single-core treasure wheel scrape the eye socket.

She turned her head and looked at the living room through the floor-to-ceiling glass. Xu Xiyu in the living room was holding the child, smiling like a fool at the entrance of the village.

This scene made Shan Xinbao pursed his lips and said, "I guess I'm not free for a while. What's wrong? Is there any problem with the publicity and distribution side?"

"It's not that there is any problem. It's mainly because of the media ratings and reviews of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend". The ban will be lifted one after another tomorrow."

"Rating and evaluation..." Shan Xinbao murmured, then started scraping his eye sockets again, "What's the problem with the rating and evaluation?"

"Yes, I'm worried that European and American game media will maliciously give low scores, and they will also maliciously criticize them in the review."

Hearing this, Shan Xinbao knew the purpose of Fu Zhicheng's call, and he was "avoiding responsibility" in advance.

After all, since Xu Xiyu refused to join the "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" project team and sued them for "extortion", some game media led by the United States have not had high praise for "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

DI cannot allow a game that "does not follow the DI concept" to succeed, which will allow other game companies and even all companies to follow the example, with very serious consequences.

In this case, it is important to say more about what the reviews of American game media will be. They will definitely get low scores.

As a publicity and promotion team, their job is to deal with this issue.

But they couldn't handle it, so they could only call in advance and remind the boss to avoid being held accountable later.

Thinking of this, Shan Xinbao said calmly, "It was a long time to expect to get a low score. You just need to do the work you are on your hands as planned."

"I understand."

"By the way, how are the pre-sale data these days?"

"The data from one hour ago, a total of 1.37 million copies were pre-sold, which is still half the goal of maintaining the third place.

However, Lao Liu told me that this is the best result of the pre-sale of the national order buyout game. "The people from the publicity and promotion team said this, and their tone was inexplicably anxious.

When Shan Xinbao heard this, he was very calm: "Okay, I understand."

Immediately afterwards, the two of them communicated for a few more words and hung up the phone.

After the phone was hung up, Shan Xinbao twisted his body and moved his muscles again, then he got up from the chair and walked into the house.

After getting closer, she stretched out her index finger to grab the baby, and said in her mouth: "Fu Zhicheng's phone call, saying that the media's evaluation and ratings are about to be lifted."

"He is worried that there is something wrong with the rating and evaluation?"

"Yes, so I called me specially." Shan Xinbao nodded.

"What's the point of making a phone call? Isn't this our consensus?" Xu Xiyu was a little puzzled.

When Shan Xinbao heard this, he shrugged with amusement and said, "Consensus is consensus. If you don't tell the difficulties in advance, I'm afraid you will pursue their responsibility in the future.

"Cleaning accountability? I seem to be the one who will hold people accountable on this?" Xu Xiyu laughed in silence.

"I know you don't know, but for them, they're afraid of everything." Shan Xinbaole said, "After all, it's the promotional and promotion team that is not optimistic about the sales of the game.

Or to put it more bluntly, their expectations for "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" are also losing money. As for people, this is how it is. If you make money, you can say good things. If you lose money, you will have to take the blame. ”

Speaking of this, before Xu Xiyu could reply, Shan Xinbao sighed again, "The company is big, these old brothers respect and fear you more, and they also feel more distance. They are not as casual as before."

When Xu Xiyu heard this, he fell into silence. When he looked at the children in his arms, he realized that both his family and career seemed to have entered a new stage.

So he asked in a deep voice: "I forgot to ask these days, what are the pre-sale results of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend"?"

"One.37 million copies are currently the best pre-sale results for domestic buyout single-player games."

"Since it is the best, why not be optimistic about it if you give it to it? Haven't we broken history?" Xu Xiyu was quite happy.

"Boss, Fu Zhicheng was responsible for the promotion and distribution of the group's films before he was responsible for the promotion and distribution of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

In this case, even if Lao Liu, who is the main focus of the game in the publicity and distribution team, told him that we are already the best domestic single-player pre-sale results, he will definitely not avoid a huge sense of gap.

No matter how you calculate this account, he will not be even. "As an employee, Shan Xinbao naturally understands the employee's mentality more. "Everything is difficult at the beginning, you may not believe it when you say it, it is better than I expected. "Xu Xiyu said as he held the baby in his arms up.

Then he said, "Don't look at me, but I actually have an estimate of 2 million. Now the pre-sale results have exceeded expectations. When it is officially released, I will definitely be able to make another move."

"That's sure, the goal of 2 million is still easy to achieve." Shan Xinbao laughed.

Here, the two were chatting.

On the other hand, Shi Zhicheng is constantly arranging work.

Time passes slowly.

The first media score of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation" also appeared in the public's sight, and the score came from a game media called [GameRant].

On a 10-point scale, it gave "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" 6 points.

In the review, positive reviews were made on the screen, etc., but the positive reviews were mentioned in detail, focusing on the shortcomings.

[The narrative is overly dependent on the traditional Chinese mythical novel "Journey to the West", which is very unfriendly to the player group in the West who have never known "Journey to the West".

The newest ⊥Xiao⊥Speak⊥Send⊥Six⊥9⊥Book⊥⊥⊥⊥Back⊥⊥⊥⊥!

During the internal review process, I had to take the time to check the relevant content of "Journey to the West" to better understand the relationship between game characters, which would undoubtedly destroy my gaming experience.

At the same time, the game is full of disrespect for women, and it designs a large number of female characters with negative colors, such as "bandit leader" and "prostitute waiting to be rescued" and so on...]

A review spent a lot of time criticizing the "incorrect elements" in the game.

And the "Bandit Leader" in its mouth is actually the classic character "White Lotus" in "The Last Legend of Journey to the West".

As for the "prostitute who is waiting to be saved" it is Ah-shu who has caused "Kinnara Bodhisattva" to become "lawless".

Especially this Ah Xi, who can be said to be a classic character in "The Last Journey to the West", is also an important character who has created Wu's charm, and is very arcing.

But in the mouth of this reporter, it was just a "prostitute waiting to be saved."

Therefore, this review can be considered to be a pissing person with parallel heavy lottery.

What is more angry than the people who are parallel to the lottery is the domestic media that participate in the evaluation.

When these media participated in the trial, they were already looking forward to it. After reviewing the full version of the content, they were almost excited.

In the same sentence, games are the art of interaction and are for play.

The plot of Yun Yip and the feeling of getting started is completely different.

Even many people who play games dance all the plots they can play during the game, and they don’t watch the plot at all, but this does not affect his happiness.

Just so happens that the gameplay of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is quite good. Whether it is the combat interaction or the richness of the characters, it exceeds the expectations of these domestic media for the "first 3A of China".

What's more, the game plot of "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Last" is referenced by the classic Earth film and television drama "Journey to the West".

Whether it is the clear main line of collecting 17 relics or the philosophical thinking brought by the character Wu Tian, ​​the plot of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend" can be regarded as excellent.

To sum up, even if subjective factors are aside, domestic game media have very high objective ratings for "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

What's more...

"Why should we put aside subjective factors? Foreign media will not talk about objectively when judging. How can we be so embarrassed to give 6 points?

How do I remember "Agents" they all gave 9 points? Just such garbage can be given 9 points because the characters inside are a replica of these anthropomorphic creatures? ”

"Dogs, I knew they were going to say things with the right thing, so I was surprised. Is there really nothing else to say except this?

Even I haven’t watched "Journey to the West", so I don’t understand the relationships and backgrounds of the characters in the game and I’ve mentioned them. Is this also called game media? I don’t understand the background research, can you make a review? ! ”

"I tell you, including Hollywood, they can only use 'correct' to cover up their already rigid mind. To put it bluntly, they have no longer lived, and they have been doing everything over the years!"

Scolding and sarcasm sounded in the office areas of major game media in the country.

Accompanied by these scoldings and ridicule, their review videos and ratings are also their reviews.

[IGN China] The evaluation given by the 10-point system is 10 points.

[Game Starry Sky] The evaluation given in the 10-point system is also 10 points.

【3DMG】The evaluation given in the 10-point system is still 10 points.

The ratings of these three well-known game communities or media seem to sound the clarion call for "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

Other domestic game media and platforms, whoever participate in the evaluation, have released their own ratings one after another, and these ratings are no less than 9 points.

Not only that, there are also some media and bloggers who only participated in the review and did not score published their own videos.

For a moment, videos of game media reviewing "Journey to the West: The Legend of the Next Generation" were everywhere on the Internet.

Through these videos, players have seen more content about the game and have a more intuitive understanding of the quality of "Journey to the West: The Last Legend".

Excited.

I'm really excited now.

The videos released now, coupled with media explanations and praise, can be said to have completely raised the players' expectations.

The scores of overseas media have also begun to appear one after another.

In the 10-point system, there are 7 points, 8 points, and even 6 points;

The 100-point system is better, and there are more people with 80 points and above.

Of course, not all media are like this. The well-known international game media [GamingBolt] and [GamersRD] [GodisaGeek] all gave 100/100 results.

Their praise is beyond words, and they commented on "the game candidate of the year, the battle, art, and the soundtrack are amazing."

However, the high-rated overseas media are a minority after all.

Compared with the domestic high scores above 9 points, the average overseas score is only 8 points.

It looks OK at 8 o'clock, but those who have known the game industry know that this score is not excellent.

Such a different score made the domestic gangsters and nephews collectively excited.

What is the remarks about [Death by Suddenly] [I have long said that Chinese people cannot make 3A] [Impure nations can only make krypton gold games] are everywhere on the Internet and are constantly heard.

Faced with such public opinion, people who are parallel to the lottery should be angry.

But the truth is exactly the opposite.

Because, just one day after the media scored, in the early morning of September 1, the pre-sale sales statistics soared from [1.37 million] to [3.11 million]
