Chapter 127 Horrible ratio! The second half begins!
This morning!
Golden Wind Project Department!
Everyone is having breakfast.
"I still have two buns that I can't eat anymore. Brother Yun, why don't you eat them..."
"Okay, give it to me. I happen to be a little full of soy milk..."
"Senior brother, the noodles I ordered can't be eaten by myself. Let's share them..."
"Oh oh ok, let's split between the two of us..."
"It's about sharing, not dividing!"
"What's the difference..."
"It's just...Oh, I won't give it to you!"
"Huh? Huh?"
"..."
While everyone was eating, they saw the door of the big office open, and Lu Bian walked in with a smile on his face, waving a sheet!
"Brothers and sisters! Comrades! China Entertainment Television's first week data is out!"
Wow——
As soon as this statement came out!
Everyone was also in a commotion!
Because since the first day of Titanfall, the popularity of this game has been at a high level!
And after Mr. Gu personally took action and reached a joint promotion and distribution cooperation with Legendary Pictures, he even used a crushing attitude to become the only true god among the six escort masterpieces that stirred up the gaming industry!
now!
The first week has passed!
Everyone wants to see what kind of achievements their BT-7274 mecha Lu Bu has achieved under such popularity!
'How much is it, Brother Bian'er!'
'Hurry, I can't wait!'
'How much is it? Is it over 300,000?'
'Am I crazy? Three hundred thousand units means a turnover of sixty million! This is a new generation of somatosensory cabin!'
‘Indeed, if this was Yiyu x1, it would probably sell more’
'Let's do this, Director Lu will give us a direction and first reveal the sales situation of Art Game
'Fuck, that's great!'
‘Come on, come on! Isn’t our program team bound to win?’
'Hey! Don't be ridiculous! Brother Bian can't be considered the boss of your program now, he is the referee!'
'Mr. Gu! Brother Sheng! Can you play?'
‘…’
For a moment, everyone in the project department became playful and turned to look at Gu Sheng who was wiping his mouth and lighting a cigarette after breakfast.
Bada.
Gu Sheng lit up the cigarette and nodded amid the green smoke:
"Hey, I didn't look at the sales situation. I'm just one of them."
Talk!
Gu Sheng took out a piece of paper from the printer on the table, wrote a number on it, and folded it.
"This is my guess. I don't look at the sales of Yiyu x2, so I guess blindly,"
Gu Sheng shook the white paper in his hand and pressed it under the ashtray:
"It's your turn."
Ouch——!!!
Such a pretentious scene made the project department sigh.
Artists are so brave!
Seeing that the boss was happily playing along, everyone no longer hesitated and urged Lu Bian.
"Okay, okay,"
Amidst the urging, Lu Bian pressed his hand:
"Listen up, as of 23:59 last night, Yiyu x2 has sold a total of 358,920 units!"
hiss--!!!
As soon as this number came out, the entire project department took a breath of cold air!
More than 358,000 units!
To know!
When Yiyoux2 was released on the first day, the sales volume was 46,000!
In other words, with the blessing of Titanfall, Yiyou's x2 somatosensory cabin actually increased its sales instead of falling during the subsequent sales process, achieving an incredible sales increase!
If you think about it this way...
Everyone formed groups to discuss!
Not long!
Three groups of people from the project department came up with the final result!
Dajiang, who represented the art team, raised the white paper in his hand: "300,000 copies, 83% of which were purchased."
Jiang Yun, representing the planning team, followed closely: "250,000 copies, 73% of which were purchased."
Finally, on behalf of the program team, he said cheerfully: "280,000 copies, 78% of which were purchased."
The three parties each came up with their own guesses!
All eyes are focused on Lu Bian who holds the final answer!
Lu Bian showed a subtle expression after hearing everyone's answers:
"Comrades..."
"I don't know if you look down on Lao Gu or if you are belittling yourselves..."
"The proportion does not even exceed 85%, tsk tsk..."
Talk!
Lu Bian took a deep breath, unfolded the data sheet in his hand, and said loudly!
"As of yesterday morning, Titanfall, single-week sales——"
“355,430 sets, total sales turnover is 70.37 million, purchase ratio is 99%!!!”
Buzz——!!!
The sales summary results are out!
Just listen to the commotion in the project department!
‘Holy shit! How many?!’
'Three hundred and fifty-five thousand units?'
‘The ratio of 99% is too outrageous! For every 100 units of Yiyu x2, 99 people bought TTF?!’
‘Wardfa——’
'What the hell... what a shame, brother! What a shame!'
‘Isn’t this proportion unprecedented?’
‘There has never been one before, and there will probably be no one in the future’
'By the way, how much did Brother Sheng guess?'
'Yes, how many sets did Mr. Gu guess? If he guesses correctly, our planning team will treat us tomorrow...'
While exclaiming!
Everyone also turned back to look at the boss!
They all want to know, as the creator of this game, what kind of expectations does Gu Sheng have for it?
Chi la——
They saw Gu Sheng crushing the cigarette butt and pulling out the piece of paper he had written on from under the ashtray.
Unfold slowly.
A big "350,000 sets, 97%+" was written on the top of the paper.
However, this line of speculation was crossed out by him in the end.
Then he wrote "1 set" below.
"Shouldn't change it, tsk,"
Gu Sheng smacked his lips, shook his head pretending to be annoyed, and then looked around at the people in the project department and smiled:
"What do you want for breakfast tomorrow?"
I saw the project department froze for half a second!
Then there was a round of good-natured laughter!
Director Gu is Director Gu!
He has an almost demon-like keen perception of the market.
At the same time, he is also a well-deserved backbone and a good boss!
'I want to eat wagyu buns! Brother Sheng!'
'I want to eat lobster siomai! Director!'
'I want to eat three shrimp noodles! Boss!'
'We don't have high expectations. When we wake up in the morning, it's like eating a cup and jumping over the wall...'
‘Hey? I’m going to let you go! You’re going to repay kindness with enmity, right—?’
'Hahahahahaha...'
Laughter and laughter rang out in Golden Wind Company.
No one noticed at all that their laughter would eventually turn into sharp arrows, penetrate into the CEO's office along the cracks in the door, and pierce Shen Miaomiao into a sieve.
Uh-huh——
When Shen Miaomiao heard the voice coming from the project department, she felt her blood surge and her head was buzzing.
More than 70 million in one week and 140 million in two weeks.
The net loss that I originally expected to be 90 million suddenly shrunk by two-thirds.
One billion becomes three hundred million.
Shen Miaomiao was very sad.
However, now that the matter has come to this, no matter what she does, she can't reverse the fact that Titanfall has exploded in popularity, with 99% of purchases being made.
never mind!
finally!
Shen Miaomiao still let out a long sigh and blew a kiss into the air, kissing goodbye to the six or seven billion people who originally belonged to her.
Three hundred million, just three hundred million. In any case, it can be considered as a profit of two Titanfall production costs.
It can be considered a victory!
Thinking of this, Shen Miaomiao nodded and looked at the time——
"Phew - the second half is about to begin, I hope TTF will behave like a normal game,"
"It's been a week, and it's time to return to normal. Sales have dropped slightly..."
…
As dusk falls.
Shark, Black Flag, Dragon Tooth, Xiao Po Station...
Banners were hung up in the game areas of one live streaming platform after another.
BT-7274 and Pilot are featured on the homepages of major live streaming platforms.
The total number of viewers today on the major live broadcast platforms seems to be exceptionally large.
Especially in the live broadcast rooms of big anchors.
Even before the broadcast started, the barrage on the black screen was already in a commotion!
'The seventh day without Titanfall, miss it'
‘I really can’t wait, I’ve been counting on TTF these days...’
‘I strongly recommend that you don’t stay away from each other for such a long time in the future. Wuwuwuwu’
‘I really want to play... Titanfall (BT addiction attack)’
'I really can't wait for spicy, unlock it quickly, bro, please (please), my hands are really itchy (crying), please, I am obedient, my body feels like there are ants crawling around now, please let go
Unlock TTF (cry) (stick out tongue) (twist and crawl)'
'The most severe episode of BT addiction was when I was lying in bed, chanting the Great Compassion Mantra, scratching myself in discomfort, thinking that the pilot training was fine, but when I saw that all the pilots in the world were running faster than me, I slapped myself as hard as I could.
The harder I slapped myself, the tears flowed out. I really didn’t know what to do. I really thought about BT and was going crazy (crying) (crying) (crying)'
‘Can you please stop messing with this guy?’
‘You let the old thief get the infection, right?’
‘It’s hard to imagine the psychological state of Golden Wind game players’
‘It’s so outrageous that I can’t comment’
'A new Bible has been born...'
‘…’
There are a lot of discussions on the barrage, discussing the entire abstract Bible, everything you want.
finally!
Eight o'clock in the evening.
The unlocking time has reached zero, and the even more grand and exciting second half of Titanfall will be unlocked on time!
“Oh—fuck, brothers, brothers!”
In the live broadcast room of Dai Xiaomei, a scream rang out!
The little girl who entered the game early and waited for the countdown to end saw her vision go dark after the countdown!
The logo of Golden Wind appeared in front of me.
Next is the LOGO of Yiyou.
There is even a special acknowledgment of the Legendary Pictures LOGO at the end.
And after the three major LOGOs!
The words [Director: Gu Sheng (SamGu)] slowly appeared.
A grand symphonic background played slowly.
The sound of hunting wind blew in the ears of the little girl, and it sounded like she was standing on a mountain peak.
The little girl felt goosebumps all over her body!
"It's started, it's started! Did you hear it, brothers? There's a wind! There's a wind!"
At this moment, the live broadcast room is also in a state of excitement!
‘The host’s independent microphone is the most annoying when the sound is turned off’
‘This time there is a Chinese dragon’
‘Zizzi—wait—wait for the lights to come on—!!!’
‘Hahahahahahaha, I didn’t expect the soundtrack too’
‘The sense of immersion is so strong that I have already turned off the light’
'Peanut and melon seed mineral water, beer and drink eight-treasure porridge, come and take it easy...'
‘Brother, you’re on the wrong set. This is a movie theater, not a green car’
'Sooner or later I will be laughed to death by the troll netizens...'
‘…’
The audience was excited!
And the full-sensory experience that Dai Xiaomei has been waiting for is gradually being covered!
The cool mountain wind carrying some gunpowder smoke blew, and the sound of mechanical movement rang in my ears. The bottom of my buttocks felt as hard as if it was sitting on an iron lump, and it seemed to be constantly moving upwards during the vibrations.
The picture gradually becomes brighter.
The rugged stone wall slowly appeared in front of you.
It turned out that at this moment, she was sitting on BT's shoulders, and as BT climbed step by step, she came to the top of a mountain!
"Mistgrass——!!!"
In the mountains, there are clouds and mist, and the stone walls are exposed.
Looking down, my legs felt weak and the mountain stream was bottomless.
laugh--
As the flames of the jets sounded, the little girl screamed and tightly grabbed the BT that jumped and took off.
She felt her lower abdomen was a little bloated.
She was originally afraid of heights, but under the influence of such an immersive experience, her legs felt weak and she was about to collapse on BT——
"Hey, hey, hey, slow down, slow down, BT! Holy shit! Damn, this is too fucking high!"
"Whose good game is rock climbing? Half of the climbing is just for the graphics! Damn it!"
“Don’t don’t don’t—ahhhhhhh!!!”
Boom!
One person and one Titan landed steadily on a winding mountain path, and BT's long-lost mellow and steady synthetic voice sounded:
[BT: Cooper Pilot, Anderson is dead, but as long as we are connected to the fleet, we can complete his mission, and the interstellar signal tower ahead comes in handy]
now!
The resistance's advance force to Typhon suffered heavy losses, and two pilots, Lastimosa and Anderson, were killed.
All the advance troops were separated and fighting independently, making it difficult to organize an effective attack.
And the IMC is preparing to fold time and space super weapons, and will soon target and destroy the Harmony planet where the resistance is located.
The heavy burden fell entirely on the acting pilot Cooper.
He must quickly convey the information he has obtained to the main force to stop IMC General Mader's conspiracy.
A lone hero.
But now, the lone hero's legs are a little weak.
It took me a long time!
The little girl barely managed to slide along the BT's fuselage and onto the ground:
"Aiya, I go--"
"If there is another high-altitude operation like this in the future, I will have to sit in the cockpit..."
Said.
BT stepped forward, and the little girl followed closely behind.
The prelude to a full-scale war has begun, and they need to notify friendly forces quickly and obtain support.
Walking along the winding mountain path, a rising sun is slowly rising from the clouds. The golden-red sun is spreading over the mountains, coating the cliffs with a layer of gold.
[BT: Pilot, the signal tower is right ahead.]
And when Dai Xiaomei finally followed the path to the top of the mountain and looked up in the direction pointed by BT, the stunning scenery ahead was even more shocking——
But in the distance, I saw a series of cone-like mountains reaching into the sky, connecting the sky and the earth.
The brilliant golden sun appeared and disappeared among the clouds and mist.
A huge signal tower stands in the valley. The huge pot-shaped signal receiving platform faces the sun, like a huge sunflower built of steel.
In an instant, the barrage was filled with whispers——
‘Wu Cao—the old thief’s aesthetic ability is really amazing’
‘This composition, this light and shadow, it’s really awesome’
'The art team of Golden Wind has something special...'
'You call this something?'
‘Time was still and exquisite before, and the signal tower here was majestic. Seriously, let’s find a chance to make a movie in the future.’
‘Maybe we will actually make a movie in the future, and linking up with Legendary Pictures is the first step.’
‘So this level is about using this signal tower to upload signals?’
'Theoretically, yes, but it's certainly not that simple. You might have to go up and repair the signal station.'
‘Hahahahaha that’s too outrageous, it’s so high, I’m afraid it’ll scare the old woman to the point of peeing’
‘I don’t know if Yiyou x2 is waterproof or not…’
‘?’
‘…’
Looking at the comments on the barrage and looking at the towering signal tower, the silly little girl grinned.
I hope not.
I really can't stand it.
While thinking about it, Dai Xiaomei and BT went to the control room not far from the signal station.
However, just as they were about to arrive at the control room, a noisy radio signal came through the pilot's helmet——
[Cole: Chichi...Pilot! It's Pilot! Can you hear me, sir...Chichi...]
[Cole: We are besieged by enemy forces in the control room! Call for support! We need... chi chi... there are too many stalkers here...]
The sound of fierce fighting sounded in the little girl's headset.
Looking at the familiar name on the heads-up display, a subtle expression suddenly appeared on Dai Xiaomei's face.
If I remember correctly...
Cole seems to be the captain of the Rifle Corps, his former leader, right?
At the very beginning of the game, he threw the rifle to himself, urging him to finish the simulation training quickly and go to the battlefield.
"Ahem! Pilot got it!"
Talking!
Driving the BT down the mountain road, I turned a corner and saw the control room being besieged!
But at this moment, the alloy door of the control room was closed tightly, and densely packed stalker robots as tall as ordinary people were launching an attack, looking like a wave of disturbed corpses in Road to Survival.
Under the intertwined fire net, the door of the control room was riddled with holes and was crumbling!
Facing so many stalkers, the originally defeated resistance team was completely powerless.
Fortunately, at this time, the little girl from Tie Yu Dai has arrived!
Tom-tom-tom——
Tsk-tsk-boom!
Titan cannons roared, and cluster missiles cleared the ground one after another.
The Stalker robots that look extremely troublesome to ordinary soldiers are like toys in front of the powerful Titans, and can even trample them into discus as soon as they walk by!
A burst of bombing!
When the last stalker was trampled to pieces, BT's voice sounded:
[BT: The enemy has been eliminated, well done. This victory is a reflection of our good combat efficiency]
"Of course!"
The silly little girl chuckled:
"I've been doing pilot training every day this week, and I'm not unfamiliar at all!"
While chatting with BT, Dai Xiaomei also came to the door of the control room.
Pressed his communication device: "Acting Pilot Jack Cooper, calling the resistance captain Cole, all enemies have been annihilated by our troops, please open the door."
Tsk—rumble—
"receive!"
As the door opened, Cole's voice came from the communication:
"Thank you, sir! Those stalkers are endless, we don't think we can last long."
After meeting with Dai Xiaomei, Cole was obviously stunned, as if he didn't expect that the agent pilot driving BT-7274 was actually her.
However, I still gratefully call my little girl sir.
Hear this!
The silly little girl's mouth almost reached the back of her head!
Wuhu! Things are changing!
Suddenly, I became Captain Cole's commander!
Cool!
Trying hard to restrain her crooked smile like the return of the Dragon King, the silly little girl stepped forward and patted Cole on the shoulder:
"Ahem! Xiaoke—"
"You're welcome, this is what I should do, you all have worked hard,"
"You happen to be here, so please report the current situation of the signal station!"
The words have not yet been spoken!
The barrage immediately burst into boos!
‘Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha...you are really a villain...'
‘Captain Cole probably has the heart to give you both a thumbs up now’
‘Cole: If I had known, I would have let the stalkers kill me’
'You know how a villain can succeed...'
‘Teacher La: I am also blind’
'Hahahahahaha, what a fucking ugly face...'
'It makes you stand up, right?'
'No, I really want to follow the network cable and give him a blow, it's so damn cheap!'
