Chapter 325 Skydiving Simulator
Just when everyone was arguing and discussing the opening of a new partition on the Honghuang platform.
Tianhe Pictures' virtual movie "Mr. Zombie" was also released as scheduled and appeared in the platform list.
The first time.
Many people logged into the device.
Click on the newly launched virtual cinema section.
"Here comes my favorite zombie movie!"
“I didn’t expect that this would be the first film to be ported to the virtual side.”
“I loved watching it when I was in college.”
"Yeah, a bunch of people gathered around to watch."
"It's been more than ten years."
Many netizens were very excited.
Basically, they come here for nostalgia.
At the same time, let’s take a look at what the legendary virtual movie is like and whether it is really as mysterious as the rumors on the Internet.
Looking forward to it.
The first group of people who came in had already clicked on the movie and chose to play it.
"Huh? There's a 5-minute trial broadcast?"
Soon, someone noticed the hint below.
I found out that the movie was not based on a membership system as I had imagined, but instead adopted the cinema’s ticketing system, and this old movie cost 20 yuan.
Although it is cheaper than going to the cinema, it still makes many people frown.
After all, a membership on a video website costs about this much per month.
"Aren't you afraid that no one will buy Honghuang's game if it uses this operating model? Movies are not interactive like games."
"Forget it, let's try it for 5 minutes first, and then we'll quit if it doesn't work."
With doubts, many people clicked the trial broadcast button, just to join in the fun.
But the next second.
Swish!
The light comes on.
The darkness in the virtual hall quickly receded.
Instead, it is replaced by a 3D surround real scene, an old house from the 1970s and 1980s.
"This is……"
"What the hell! Did I travel through time?"
“It looks like my old house!”
“Is this a virtual movie?”
“So awesome!”
At this moment, all the audience watching the movie were shocked.
Shocked by the real scenes around me.
I was even more shocked by the texture of the dust blowing in my face.
It was as if you were there, suddenly traveling through time to the old house passed down from your ancestors, and for a moment you couldn't tell what was real or fake.
Until the door opened.
A familiar figure walked in from outside the door.
Dressed in simple linen clothes, the young Hong Xinbao walked through their bodies and came to a row of memorial tablets in the house, where he burned incense and worshiped, muttering something.
【Dear uncles, brothers and sisters, come back for dinner. 】
The familiar opening and the different experience made the audience open their eyes wide and look shocked.
"Hong Xinbao, it's really him!"
“Did I end up in a movie?”
“It’s indeed a scene from Mr. Zombie!”
“I thought it was the same as VR, with an extra playback box in front.”
"Going straight into the movie, isn't this too cool!?"
Those who have seen Mr. Vampire , especially those who have seen it several times, will recognize the place they are in at a glance.
This is the opening scene of this movie!
This made them all excited, and they walked back and forth in the cabin, looking left and right following the character played by Hong Xinbao.
The curtains were drawn aside, and they were startled to see a row of coffins and zombies placed there.
If you look closely, even the zombies' teeth are clearly visible.
Except that you can't touch it, it's exactly the same as reality.
Even the distant scene outside the door has been completed with textures, so there is no sense of incongruity.
That is to say.
They can watch the entire film from a first- person perspective and truly achieve an immersive viewing experience!
"Okay, okay, I must buy this movie!"
"It's only 20 yuan, I'm losing money!"
"Must renew! I want to see Uncle Ying up close!"
"Wow! There's also a screenshot and recording function, so you can record with the characters in the movie!"
“This feature is awesome!”
"So when are the other movies scheduled? I want to get up close and personal with my idol!"
In just a few minutes, the netizens who were watching the movie were all excited. They had never had such a new experience before, and they were all extremely excited.
The 5-minute preview is not over yet.
They all recharged and bought it directly.
The sales data in the background is also soaring at an extremely terrifying rate.
…
at the same time.
Inside Tianhe Pictures.
The department manager in charge of this matter paced back and forth, his face full of tension and worry.
"It's been an hour. Why hasn't Honghuang updated the backend yet? Is there a data drop?"
In order to remake this movie, they hired several special effects companies for help and purchased various equipment, investing more than 300 million, which is enough to remake a movie.
He doesn't have high requirements, as long as he doesn't suffer too much loss.
After all, it was just their attempt to enter the virtual market, and it was an old movie from more than ten years ago, so it was not very popular.
He could only prepare for the worst.
"Refresh, Honghuang has refreshed the background data!"
At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the side.
"Did you swipe it? Show me where it is!"
The department manager's face lit up with joy, and he quickly went to the computer. Sure enough, he saw that the background data of their movie was no longer a string of zeros at the beginning.
【Movie: Mr. Zombie】
[Genre: Action horror film]
[Unit price: 20 yuan]
【First hour box office: 6.25 million】
"How much...how much?"
"Six million!?"
The department manager's breathing became rapid, and he put his eyes close to the screen and looked at it again as if to confirm.
First hour.
6 million box office!
How is this possible!
You have to know that the final box office of this movie was only more than 30 million.
Although times are different now, reaching one-fifth of the highest box office in just one hour is a bit too scary!
"Manager, is there any mistake in the data? Is it really 6 million?"
The entire department's employees gathered around, looking at the data displayed on the computer in shock and some disbelief.
"It should be correct." The department manager swallowed and looked back at the assistant, "Go and notify the directors!"
Tianhe Pictures exploded.
The entire film, television and entertainment industry exploded.
The market response to the virtual movie far exceeded everyone's expectations.
In just one day, the box office broke through the 100 million mark, directly breaking its own record from many years ago.
As soon as the news came out.
The film and television industry was shaken.
The entertainment industry was in an uproar.
You should know that the highest record for the global first-day box office is only 800 million.
It's an old movie, but it can reach this level.
What a terrifying amount of traffic!
What's more.
Unlike ordinary cinemas, the Honghuang platform only takes a 30% commission, which gives them an additional 20% in profit distribution.
Even if the price is lower.
They all make money!
After figuring it out, there was no hesitation at all and they mobilized resources to join the ranks of the virtual industry.
Celebrities and internet celebrities have turned down all their schedules and only accepted film and television shoots and advertising orders related to virtual platforms, hoping to use this opportunity to become famous overnight, and the entire Internet is in turmoil.
This year.
It is destined to be a turbulent year.
It was also the most turbulent year.
The emergence of virtual technology has brought about tremendous changes in many industries and has begun to transform in various directions.
Basically every month.
There will be all kinds of big things happening.
New games are released, old movies are ported to virtual terminals, someone's technology breaks through, or a company is acquired due to poor management...
Honghuang, which should have been in the vortex, has gradually disappeared behind the scenes because of these events, and continues to expand the global virtual market in a low-key manner.
Until the beginning of the second year.
News came back that 200 million units of Honghuang virtual devices were sold.
Only then did Chen Lin call Lao Li.
"The time is ripe. Let's put the games that have been ported recently on the shelves together with the new games."
"Okay!"
Old Li agreed and went back to make hurried preparations.
That afternoon.
Players who are selecting games on the Honghuang platform.
Suddenly I noticed a lot of updated content on the homepage, which caused a big commotion.
"What's going on? Why are so many games updated suddenly?"
"Eh? Isn't this a game under Honghuang?"
"Are their old games also ported to the virtual terminal?"
"Woc! Both Yu-Gi-Oh and PUBG!"
“And Minecraft and Monster Hunter!”
"Where's my eldest cousin? Is my eldest cousin so shameless?"
"This is so cool! I can experience it all over again!"
In one year, Dawn and Daybreak only ported four games together.
But even so, the players still cheered.
They flocked into the game to experience this new way of operation.
Even Lao E, who was live streaming, tried out the immersive chicken-eating gameplay.
As a result, he was almost scared to death when he was skydiving. His screams echoed in the live broadcast room, which made the audience laugh.
This also attracted the interest of many people.
Buy a new copy of the game on the virtual side and experience the thrill of skydiving for yourself.
Many people even committed suicide after jumping, then returned to the plane and did it again, then recorded a video and posted it online, which gradually sparked a skydiving craze.
"Luckily, Honghuang made a switch to blur the height, so it doesn't look that high. Otherwise, someone like me with a fear of heights would be driven to death."
"And it seems that people on the virtual side can only match with people on the virtual side, which is quite good."
In front of the camera, Old E, who had just completed a skydive, breathed a sigh of relief, rushed directly to the resource point, and started a new round of survival journey.
In comparison.
The experience of Yu-Gi-Oh and Minecraft is much better.
One plays cards and the other develops and builds something. After switching to the first-person perspective, everything seems to have changed, and it becomes even more interesting.
Especially players of Yu-Gi-Oh!
I can finally summon projection monsters at home. It’s so cool that I just want to soak in it and not come out.
And the worst.
None other than Monster Hunter players.
It was also the first game chosen by the four Ouyang Xiao sisters on the other side.
In their words.
The others playing cards, shooting and doing construction are really weak, I will come up and fight the one-horned dragon head-on!
As for the result...
“Ahhhh!! Help—”
"Xiao Qian! It's heading towards you!"
"No! Don't come over here! I don't want to play anymore!!"
Screams echoed in the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao and the other three were covered in dust and dirt as they fled for their lives on the sand.
A horned dragon as big as a hill was chasing them from behind, rumbling towards them, scaring them so much that they turned pale.
The audience laughed.
Barrages of comments emerged crazily.
"Fuck! This is making me die of laughter."
"Is this the hard-hitting unicorn you mentioned?"
"This is incredible! The virtualized Unicorn is even more oppressive."
"Who can beat this? I'm scared to death just by looking at it."
"Even though I can turn off the pain, it's still a bit scary when I get hit by a dragon car."
"It's just a unicorn. If it was transplanted into the wild, I think it would scare a lot of people to death."
"Only up? Are you a devil?"
It turns out.
No matter what game.
Once the virtual side is ported, things start to get interesting.
Um.
At least it's fun to watch other people play.
Anyway, they don't want to be tortured on the field.
fortunately.
The pursuit of the unicorn in the picture did not last long.
Ouyang Xiao and his four companions successfully escaped back to the entrance and left the boss area.
Then they all fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
"Oh my god, this is too scary."
Xiaoqian felt a little scared and looked back.
“I thought I was almost going to die in there.”
Xun'er didn't care about her image and sat down on the pile of earth.
"What should we do? Should we change the game?" Ouyang Xiao raised his head.
As soon as the words came out, they received unanimous responses from Xiaoqian and others.
"Change!"
I'm so scared.
If I can't afford to offend you, can't I just hide away?
After taking a break, they simply quit the game and continued looking for their next target on the homepage.
soon.
Ouyang Xiao was attracted by a poster on the cover and showed a puzzled expression.
"KartRider? It was released by Honghuang. Does Honghuang have this game?"
