Chapter 78 Pre-sale Explosion
at the same time.
Qindao, 18th floor of Jinmao Tower, Chenyu Company.
Chen Yan was working overtime, calculating the company's recent expenses.
The hundreds of thousands of dollars he had spent before were to settle the actors' early performance fees and the costs during the game filming.
Now that the filming is finished, the subsequent payment to the actors must be transferred as agreed...
"Lu Man, I paid 80,000 yuan in advance, and now I have to pay another 320,000 yuan after the filming."
"The other actors' fee is 160,000."
"Boss Qiaoqiao's performance fee is 50,000 yuan."
"I still have some left in my hand..."
Chen Yan checked his account, "132...50,000."
"Hmm... 132... 5 minus 32, minus 16..."
After adding and subtracting a few numbers, Chen Yan found that the cash in his hand had fallen below one million, with only 790,000 left.
Among these, 400,000 is the fee to be paid to Lu Man after the game is launched, and 240,000 is reserved for the salaries of several bigwigs for next month.
After a calculation, there were only a few hundred thousand left. This was also the reason why Chen Yan had no money for publicity.
but.
The good news is... once Boss Qiaoqiao's 50,000 yuan arrives, Chen Yan will have another 500,000 yuan in cash, which can relieve a lot of pressure for him.
After calculating the bills and making sure there were no problems, Chen Yan logged into the corporate online banking and transferred the money one by one.
As the last sum of "50,000" was transferred, Chen Yan opened the game and took a look, and found that his wealth value in the game had indeed increased by 50,000.
"It won't work without Boss Qiaoqiao."
"If she doesn't spend money, how can I have money to pursue my dreams?"
After sighing happily for a while, Chen Yan prepared to close the game interface and continue to work on company matters.
At this moment, suddenly, a Weibo push popped up on the top of his phone screen.
[Lu Man’s new drama is revealed, it turns out to be Director Zhang’s masterpiece! ]
Huh? News about Lu Man?
This acting genius is going to star in a new play?
Because he and Lu Man had gradually become friends during this period, Chen Yan couldn't help but click on this push, wanting to see what Lu Man's new play was.
Click on the push and go to Weibo.
Chen Yan read the content under this Weibo topic.
But when he saw it, Chen Yan was stunned.
Because, under this push topic, netizens were not discussing Lu Man’s new play, but "The Secret Guardian"...
"Huh?"
Chen Yan, who had just come to read the gossip, was stunned for a moment, "Am I too busy recently and have hallucinations?"
He rubbed his eyes, glanced up and looked at the topic. The title was indeed #Lu Man’s new drama exposed#.
He looked down at the content with this title and found that they were actually discussing his own game!
[I never thought that after being silent for half a year, Lu Man actually shot a video interactive game. What a surprise! ]
[I searched for this game and found that it already has a Weibo account and an official website. It also has a homepage on Steam , and has released trailers and posters. Lu Man in the trailers and posters is so cool and beautiful! ]
[I searched it too. Lu Man's look in the movie is so pretty, and the male lead is so handsome! There's also a girl in a kimono, who is so pure and pretty, just like a first love.]
[This game must be fun! I feel that this kind of theme, plus this group of handsome men and beautiful women, and Lu Man's participation, it really boosts my XP! ]
If Chen Yan only read the Weibo posts of these netizens, he might still wonder if it was because of the "big data push" that he only saw content related to his own game.
But after seeing the number of likes, reposts, and comments on these Weibo posts, Chen Yan no longer had such thoughts at all.
Because each of these Weibo posts has hundreds or thousands of likes and comments.
The most popular one even had thousands of reposts and tens of thousands of likes.
Although the most popular Weibo post was mainly about Lu Man, it also mentioned his own game.
[Lu Man actually participated in a video interactive game in the past six months. She also "transformed" into a spy during the Anti-Japanese War, which is completely different from her previous screen images. What kind of sparks will this sensitive era background and this contrasting role interpretation create? Are you looking forward to it? ]
Looking at these Weibo posts.
At that moment, a thought popped up in Chen Yan's mind: Did he hire some internet trolls himself?
Or...I tied Yu Qiaoqiao up in the middle of the night and spent money like crazy, making millions and buying hot searches and big Vs?
He opened the Weibo hot search list and took a look.
#Lu Man’s new drama revealed# This Weibo post directly landed in the top 10 hot searches, as if it was... bought.
At the end of the trending searches, at No. 49, there is another #Lu Man participates in a real-person interactive game# which is slowly climbing up...
Chen Yan clicked on them one by one and took a look.
Soon, he saw Lu Man's interview at the opening ceremony of the Magic City Film Festival.
Listening to Lu Man's lengthy introduction to his game, and only briefly mentioning his new play, Chen Yan looked up, blinked, and a sense of enlightenment came to his mind, "Could it be... this is the surprise Lu Man said he would give me last night?"
If this is true, it would be a huge surprise.
I really owe you a big favor.
This isn't just taking advantage of the new drama's popularity, it's directly stealing the new drama's popularity!
Her wave of publicity is much more effective than investing millions of dollars on her own!
Sister Man! So loyal!
After figuring out the whole story, Chen Yan once again looked at the popularity of his game on Weibo.
Then, he suddenly realized... If the popularity of his game continued at this rate, it would probably become a huge hit in the early stages!
Maybe he could sell hundreds of thousands of copies at the beginning and make millions.
At that time... I will have a reasonable reason to give bonuses to employees and secretly give a car to Boss Qiaoqiao!
This... is simply perfect!
Just as Chen Yan was thinking this, suddenly, the Fat Phoenix in the office stood up abruptly!
She held the phone in her hand and shouted in surprise, "Mr. Chen! Look! Look! Our game seems to be popular!"
As she spoke, she ran over and held up her phone to show Chen Yan.
The screen on the phone showed what Chen Yan had just seen.
Chen Yan said calmly, "Calm down, calm down. This is all normal."
Fat Phoenix didn't know that Chen Yan was just as surprised. She looked at Chen Yan's calm expression and was even more surprised. "Mr. Chen, could this be you...?"
Chen Yan shook his head, "It's not me. It should be a surprise that Lu Man prepared for us ."
Fat Phoenix was even more surprised. "Lu Man is so loyal! Nowadays, all celebrities are so loyal!"
When Fat Phoenix said this, Tank, who had been silent in the office, suddenly stood up.
The Tank Boss was tall and thin. When he stood up, he was like a bamboo pole and immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the office.
After he stood up, he stared at his computer screen without saying a word.
After a while, he looked up at Chen Yan, his eyes full of surprise, "The pre-sale has exploded."
Chen Yan was stunned when he heard what Tank said, and then he remembered that he opened the pre-sale for the game after it passed the review. Could it be that... someone has already started making reservations?
