Chapter 57 I admit that you are fast, but...

"It's increasing, it's increasing, look, the number of fans is really increasing!"

Just as players were watching the new game CG of Honghuang.

Backstage of station b.

Several contracted singers were also paying attention to this matter, and all of them were looking at their official accounts with excitement.

"Initial D" had just been aired for less than half a day, but the song they sang together had already received a lot of attention, and the number of fans of the account, which had been stagnant, was also increasing at a noticeable rate.

Although not as exaggerated as Ouyang Xiao's, it still made them extremely excited. They hadn't experienced the feeling of a sudden increase in fan base for a long time.

Click to take a look.

The comments under the account made them even more delighted.

[The song is well sung, I'm paying attention. 】

[Is there a complete soundtrack? I really like the songs in the animation. ]

【Just came from Initial D, support. 】

[Same as Initial D, the music and the pictures are really great! 】

[I hope you can release more good songs, come on! ]

…

"What a pity! It would be great if we could get the singing rights for those songs." One of them couldn't help but say.

"Yeah, it's such a waste to use such a good song as the soundtrack for the game."

"However, these songs also gave me inspiration and let me know what type of songs are most suitable for me to sing. I have to thank Hong Huang, the arranger teacher."

"Sure enough, what the supervisor said is right. As long as we hold on to Honghuang, it's only a matter of time before we become famous."

From this moment on, several people finally believed Su Peng's words.

Nothing else to say.

From now on, it will only be commercial performances of Honghuang.

They will definitely be the first ones to run up and grab the money, and no one can stop them!

…

The other side.

Honghuang Studio.

Not long after the CG animation was released, the newly recruited customer service team’s phone was flooded with calls.

A large number of netizens called in to urge for updates, cursed, and made a scene.

In short, it didn't stop for the whole afternoon, and the customer service girls were so busy that they were dizzy.

"Chen Lin, if this continues, the customer service department won't be able to handle it . We are a little short of staff."

Old Song rushed into the office without even having time to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

He also didn't expect that the response to this CG animation would be so great.

Their customer service line was overwhelmed on the first day.

Some even clamored for them to release the game as soon as possible so as not to delay everyone from following the anime.

Listen, is this human language?

It turns out these guys buy games just to follow the anime!

So what is the value of the game they spent so much time and effort to make for several months?

"Calm down, it's not a big deal."

Seeing him like this, Chen Lin couldn't help but laugh.

As a former fan of anime , he understood best the pain of having the pursuit suddenly interrupted. It was good enough that he didn't run to the prehistoric world with a knife to chop them up.

"How can I stay calm? Those players are about to come to my door."

Old Song walked over, picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. Only then did he feel a little better.

He had never encountered such a situation when he was in charge of the studio before. Although he was happy, he was more worried about gains and losses.

What if players are resistant to them?

Or what if an inappropriate response leads to negative comments?

Anyway, the more I thought about it, the more uneasy I felt, and I couldn't even eat.

"That's just how you are. You are too meticulous in your work and don't know how to adapt at all." Chen Lin smiled and shook his head.

"Since the game can't be released so quickly, we can start pre-sales. It shouldn't be a problem if we can also get the CG playback qualification by pre-sales, right?"

"Pre-sale? Isn't this a bit bad?" Old Song was stunned.

Things like game pre-sales are not something you can just touch upon casually.

If players spend money in advance to buy a game and the quality does not meet their expectations, it is likely to have a counterproductive effect and completely ruin the reputation of a game.

This is undoubtedly a gamble with the studio's reputation.

"Why, you have no confidence in the game you made?"

"It's not that I don't have confidence, but I feel the risk is too great."

Lao Song's style of doing things is mainly based on caution, and he really doesn't want to take this risk.

"How can there be no risk in the gaming industry? I can't even guarantee that my game will be a hit. How can I seize the opportunity if I don't try my best?" Chen Lin raised his head and asked back.

This has always been his principle.

All he did was to seize opportunities as much as possible to increase the chances of the game becoming a hit.

This is what the promotional CG is like.

The same is true when investigating the market.

Old Song obviously didn't expect him to say this, and his expression was a little strange.

But as a veteran in the industry, how could he not know this truth?

After hesitating for a moment, he finally laughed bitterly: "What the hell, I was actually lectured by you. Let me make it clear first, don't blame me if anything goes wrong."

After saying that, he picked up his phone, went outside, and called the person in charge of the Steam platform.

…

Half an hour later.

A new announcement appeared under the official account of Honghuang.

[Notice: The 3D racing game "Need for Speed: Drift" has officially been launched on the Steam platform for pre-sale. Pre-sale purchases can enjoy a 9.5% discount and obtain the right to play CG animation episodes 1-20. For more details, please visit the game's official website. ]

Presale!

Game pre-sale released!

The appearance of this announcement was undoubtedly like dropping a bombshell on the calm lake, instantly making those players and anime fans who were eagerly waiting excited.

" What's going on? The CG was released in the morning and pre-sales started in the afternoon?"

"Does that mean the game is ready?"

"The game is ready? I thought we would have to wait half a year!"

"Okay, okay, Hong Huang finally gets to be a human for once, I'll do the Initial D!"

"Don't compete with me, I must be the fastest man down the Akina Mountain!"

"I admit that you are very fast, but if I have already purchased it and started playing the second episode, how will you respond?"

It was beyond Lao Song's expectation.

The people who appear most in the comment section are not players, but those who are fans of the anime who call in to urge for updates.

As soon as the message was sent out, the number of calls to the customer service department dropped by a huge amount, which shocked the busy girls and made him completely dumbfounded.

What the hell?

How can an animation have such great magic?

You should know that the price of the game he put on the shelves is not low, 198 yuan, which is higher than "Monster Hunter".

These guys are chasing anime.

You bought it without even blinking an eye?

Looking at the ever-increasing pre-sales, Lao Song began to doubt that the CG animation was the main component and the game was just a bonus.

Buying CG and getting a game for free is a yes.

It completely refreshed his views on the industry over the past few decades.

"I just don't believe that an animation can be as good as the game we made!"

With a critical attitude, he clicked on the video file that Chen Lin had sent him before and started watching it.

…

Half an hour later.
