Chapter 225: A mortal body, on par with gods
Eyes trembling, stunned!
Before, this kind of expression always appeared on Shen Miaomiao's face.
As the saying goes, everything goes around in circles .
This time, an expression of astonishment also appeared on Gu Sheng’s face!
"Six hundred...six million nine hundred and twenty thousand?"
even!
Even Gu Sheng was unable to react for a moment!
The popularity of Plants vs. Zombies was expected for him.
But to be so popular was obviously far beyond his expectations!
And on the side, Shen Miaomiao was also dumbfounded!
Nearly seven million sets!
At a price of $2 per piece, the total sales of Plants vs. Zombies reached $14 million this week alone!
After deducting the 25% commission, the revenue is a terrifying $10.5 million!
After deducting the cost of $1.15 million, the net profit is $9.35 million!
Based on a dividend ratio of 10% of net profit, the total dividend amount is $935,000.
And among the dividends, she accounted for 40%, which is... 374,000 dollars!
I——Shit——!!!
After doing some calculations in her mind, Shen Miaomiao felt like her heart was about to jump out!
Damn it!
It's such a fucking loss!
You must know!
Just now on the way home, after careful calculation, she came to the conclusion that -
If the total global sales in 12 days reach 750,000 copies, I can make a nice loss and get a rebate of 375,000 dollars!
But now!
She didn’t lose!
Not losing a penny!
Just by relying on fair and honest sales, without any tricks or system assistance, you can get the same returns as the system!
And it only took seven days!
That is, if Plants vs. Zombies were given another five days to sell, its revenue would be...
Beyond the system!!!
What is the concept?
This is equivalent to Lao Gu wearing only a pair of red shorts and fighting the real Superman on equal terms!
Although! Before, I tried to keep the loss as low as possible, which was equivalent to weakening a wave of system supermen!
But as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse!
Lao Gu is just an ordinary mortal, but it is shocking enough that he can shake the system so much!
Damn it, thieves make so much money by stealing goods!
but!
Shen Miaomiao also knew that such terrifying sales volume was closely related to the nature of the game and the dual-platform login mode.
The market share of mobile platforms is high!
The universality of Plants vs. Zombies is hard!
2 dollars/portion, the price is high and solid!
For Shen Miaomiao, this was her first time to experience the feeling of 'not rebate, but better than rebate'!
Although the process is different, the results are almost the same!
Shock, surprise, excitement!
The emotions intertwined together, making her eyes look at Gu Sheng even more fiery!
And now!
Gu Sheng on the opposite side also let out a long breath, stood up and scratched his hair, his face full of disbelief!
Perhaps Shen Miaomiao only saw the madness of the game in terms of financial benefits.
But as a veteran in the gaming industry, Gu Sheng knows very well that the horrific sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" will bring them more than just monetary benefits!
More importantly, it will become the most milestone work in this world!
Five years, ten years, twenty years!
Although times have changed and new things have taken over, the gaming community in this world will continue to move forward and develop, with various games constantly being updated and iterated.
But there is no doubt that "Plants vs. Zombies" will definitely go down in history and become a significant contribution to the development of this world's gaming culture!
Thinking of this, Gu Sheng felt his scalp tingling and his heart pounding, causing him to take a deep breath. The unreal feeling was like a dream, and he put his hands on his hips and looked at the large projection screen, shaking his head!
Seeing Gu Sheng's appearance, Shen Miaomiao couldn't help but laugh!
All along!
In her eyes, Gu Sheng has always been a calm and composed person at work, like a calm and peaceful well.
Although he can also make jokes, laugh, scold, and be mean and cunning.
But he never showed any panic or shock even once.
It seems that in the gaming industry, he is always the one who is destined to plan and control the overall situation.
Despite achieving jaw-dropping results time and time again, in his opinion, it seemed that it had already been a foregone conclusion, and he was happy but not surprised.
But this time, the jaw-dropping result finally made him look astonished.
At this moment, the man in front of her seemed to become more and more real, with a truth like unveiling a hazy fog, which made Shen Miaomiao's heart palpitate.
Reaching out to take the Polaroid camera from under the small coffee table, Shen Miaomiao stood up and walked behind Gu Sheng, patting his shoulder: "Old Gu."
"Hmm?" He turned around and looked at the little Nezha behind him: "What's wrong?"
"Leave a memory,"
As she spoke, Shen Miaomiao lifted Gu Sheng's arm, and with a blushing face, she got into his arms, letting him hold her shoulders, and raised the Polaroid camera in his hand:
"Closer... so that the frame won't have room for both of us and the data."
However, just as Shen Miaomiao bit her lips and wanted to take a photo with a blushing face, Gu Sheng retracted his hand.
"This camera has a timer. If you put it on the back of the sofa, the viewfinder will be bigger..."
As he spoke, Gu Sheng took the camera from Shen Miaomiao, left her side, and walked to the sofa to set up the camera.
Shen Miaomiao pursed her lips and lowered her head.
A pair of bare feet stepped on the street stall, with the knuckles slightly bent awkwardly.
The action just now... seemed a little too intimate.
Just as he was thinking about it, Gu Sheng also set up the camera, set the timer, and walked back to her side in two or three steps:
"That's good."
"oh."
Shen Miaomiao responded softly, crossed her hands in front of her, and stood side by side with Gu Sheng in a proper posture.
Although his eyes looked a little lost, he still pulled up the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Just stand up straight.
Then he heard Gu Sheng beside him say, "Are you going to strike a pose like this?"
"Ah? What else?"
Shen Miaomiao didn't know what Gu Sheng meant, and turned to look at him in confusion.
And the next second.
Gu Sheng suddenly bent down, put one hand around her slender waist, and lifted her knee with the other hand.
call!
Shen Miaomiao felt her body lighten, and with a cry, she quickly stretched out her hands to hook Gu Sheng's neck, and her whole body was lifted up horizontally!
Following right on!
Snap!
As the camera mounted on the back of the sofa flashes!
The photo paper was developed.
In the photo, Gu Sheng, with slightly messy hair, had a slightly upturned mouth corner with a smile as if he had succeeded in playing a prank.
Shen Miaomiao, who was held in the princess' arms, hooked her arms around his neck, her big eyes filled with surprise and joy, her gem-like pupils shining brightly, just like the bright stars in the night sky...
…
"Game miracle! "Plants vs. Zombies" sold 6.92 million copies in a single week!"
"One of the best-selling games in the world in the past decade! What is the charm of this game from Golden Wind! "
"Supernova's record can only be broken by Supernova! 7 million copies sold in a single week! Plants vs. Zombies refreshes the record of going to the moon!"
《The King of Dual-Terminals! The best-selling game of the year has secured the title! 》
《……》
sensation!
Sweeping the gaming world like a surging wave!
Crazy 7 million sets sold in a single week! Incredible average daily shipment of 1 million sets!
When the first week's results were announced, many people couldn't believe their eyes!
However, the name of Golden Wind has long been known in the gaming circle thanks to the game Titanfall.
Its feat of fighting against Konami also caused a sensation at the time.
Its performance at GDC and its imaginative escape have won praise from countless peer media.
but!
No one expected it.
The Golden Wind, in this way, once again created a storm in the gaming community!
A small game that is only used as a flagship game for the Yiyou Mini Game Festival, a strategy tower defense game with cartoon style and simple operation, and a game that is suitable for men, women, young and old and has no threshold to play.
It suddenly appeared out of nowhere, with an unrivaled attitude and a terrifying sales record of 6.92 million copies, throwing a blockbuster bomb into the vast ocean of the gaming circle!
So stupid!
From domestic to foreign!
Although everyone realizes that this game will be very popular, after all, many people around them are playing it.
But this result of nearly 7 million really shocked everyone in the industry!
#2Shushuwoya: A generous gift to the crab! Seven million, my dear! The golden wind is killing like crazy!!! (Shock)
#5 Asking for the Big Effervescent Mushroom Notebook: When I opened my eyes this morning, I thought I had woken up too fast and saw one more digit. After washing my face, I was sure it was a seven-digit number... (petrified)
#8 Gray Mist: I'm so fucking annoyed! When will Golden Wind's data be fucking normal? I spent half the fucking night calculating yesterday! (Angry)
#10 I’ll give you a big pinch: I can feel the resentment of the Huayu Electric Data Department hhhhhh (funny)
#11 Arctic Bear: Hahahaha, I heard our boss scolding the marketing department early in the morning, asking them why they didn't take the initiative to co-host this mini-game festival. The brothers in the marketing department were speechless and kept complaining about 'Swift Vine Pills' in the group (dog head)
#13艺条小鱼游啊游: Brothers upstairs, please change jobs. We have a great relationship with Xiao Huang, and this month’s bonus will increase again (Yeah)
#18 Xiao Fugui said it was delicious after seeing it: My evaluation is - make a tower defense quickly!!!

#31 A cluster of small flames: despise Xun Teng, understand Xun Teng, become Xun Teng (dog head)
#35 Don’t Eat Mushrooms: Stop scolding me, stop scolding me, let’s just drink some soup…
The country is boiling!
At the same time, the foreign gaming community can no longer sit still!
There was also an uproar and discussion!
It’s not just because of the horrific sales of “Plants vs. Zombies”!
More importantly, this game actually crushed the new generation 3S-level FPS masterpiece "ACE Heros" created by the "Flamingo" studio at a huge cost at the media level!
You must know!
Flamebird is a top-tier studio under the game company 'Vivendi'!
This time, " Ace Heroes" is an annual key project created by Flamebird with an investment of nearly 600 million US dollars and a production team of more than 2,000 people!
The game combines multiple gameplay modes such as plot, combat, and battle royale, striving to create the most representative comprehensive FPS top shooting game in the era of somatosensory cabins!
Since the beginning of its development, this game has received widespread attention and has been highly praised by various media!
And just a week ago, it was released at the same time as Plants vs. Zombies.
Actually, it stands to reason!
These two games have nothing to do with each other! There is no question of "collision" at all!
One is a somatosensory cabin game, and the other is a PC and mobile dual-end game. The tracks of the two games are different!
Moreover, whether from the perspective of game cost, game size or promotion, the two games are completely different and it is impossible to make any connection between them!
But it’s a good thing!
Sales of "Plants vs. Zombies" exploded!
And it was a huge explosion!
So!
From 'SNG Games' to 'Global Players', and then to major mainstream media review websites.
The first week's reviews on the front page all became the home of "Plants vs. Zombies" -
[SNG: A casual tower defense game beyond imagination! To be honest, the moment I saw my pea shooter being eaten, I knew it must be on the list! ]
【Global Players: The total sales of 6.9 million in a single week is enough to make it one of the best-selling games in the world! With rich game content and varied gameplay, plus the game intensity and graphics suitable for all ages, you will be amazed at its simple production, yet addicted to its game fun! 】
[SLGamers: This is a battle to break the circle of games! PVZ has proved with its own strength that games are not exclusive to young people, and children and the elderly love it just as much! ]
[Hummingbird Game Forum: Incredibly simple! Incredible sales! GW has undoubtedly found the most suitable game type for dual-end platform releases, and also found the optimal solution for this type of game! If someone sets up a "greatest game award" in the future, PVZ will definitely be one of the candidates! ]
【……】
And so on!
And many more!
In the comments section below each major review, players from various countries expressed their views on this sensation:
'Oh my god! 6.9 million! Incredible number!'
'This is also related to its price, 2 dollars per copy, the actual revenue is not that much, even less than their previous development "OUT LAST"'
"In terms of sales, it is certainly not as good as the big motion sensing cabin games, or even the general motion sensing cabin games, but the sales volume is undoubtedly terrifying."
'That's true. Its influence is far greater than its revenue. I hope this will give them some advantages for their next A Way Out.'
'It's so age-appropriate, I even saw our professor playing it today'
"Ace Heroes is so unlucky. It should have been the front-page review this time."
'wwwwww Flamebird fainted in the toilet'
"We just defeated KONAMI, and this time we accidentally defeated Veventi. The golden wind is unstoppable."
"……"
"Okay, blocked."
Click.
As Shen Miaomiao put down the beauty sponge, Gu Sheng also raised his eyes from the overwhelming news.
I looked at myself in the mirror. Although my left eye was still a little swollen, the purple color was no longer noticeable.
Little Nezha’s concealer technique is pretty good.
"Well...okay, ok,"
Gu Sheng was very satisfied:
"At least I don't have to look at houses with panda eyes."
"That's right," Shen Miaomiao tilted her head when she heard Gu Sheng's compliment: "Do you think my beauty videos were wasted?"
As they talked, the two men stood up and got dressed.
Gu Sheng threw the car keys to Little Nezha:
"Let's go, little driver! Let's go look at the house!"
