Chapter 87: Detonating the Entire Network
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, Valentine's Day is here.
As a festival that coincides with the Spring Festival holiday, this year's Valentine's Day is particularly lively.
Walking on the street in broad daylight, you can see many men and women holding hands and shopping, as well as single men holding bouquets of flowers.
Even the doors of the shops on the street are hung with various heart-shaped decorations, which creates a lively atmosphere at first glance.
When you arrive at the door of the cinema, you can see long queues that are rarely seen on normal days, and the posters on the walls have been changed to movies about romance and horror.
" Qianqian, I bought two tickets for the movie Titanic. How about... let's go watch it together?"
“Okay…Okay.”
A young couple who looked like a couple stood outside the door. They hesitated for a while before walking into the cinema together.
"Honey, I want to watch this movie too. I heard the story is very romantic and touching."
"I know you like it. In fact, I bought it a long time ago."
The boy from another couple had a smug look on his face. He used his phone to scan the ticket booth next to him, and two "Titanic" movie tickets popped out.
There is also a purchase record of VR glasses on his mobile phone, and he bought the most expensive deluxe version.
Originally, he felt a little pained to spend so much money on these.
But when he saw his girlfriend's happy smile, he suddenly felt it was worth it, and he followed other couples and walked into the cinema hand in hand.
The whole cinema was bustling with activity.
Thanks to the promotion of cinemas and VR games, the occupancy rate of "Titanic" was almost always over 85%.
Many people, out of curiosity, came with their partners to watch this popular movie that has been widely circulated online.
Some people bought tickets simply because the movie was about love.
But anyway.
The popularity of this movie has been slowly building up.
…
only.
Regarding Honghuang's approach.
Other game manufacturers are not very supportive.
"Instead of making good games, they chose to make CG movies. Honghuang must be desperate because the game sales are not good."
Seeing the news reported from below, major manufacturers sighed.
They had long heard about the plummeting sales of Honghuang VR game, and they felt that Honghuang was struggling to survive.
Because every year's Spring Festival period is basically the time when movies from famous domestic film and television companies are released, this has become a common practice in the industry.
It is difficult for movies produced by ordinary film and television companies to survive during this period of fierce competition, let alone a studio that focuses on the gaming industry?
Nothing else to say.
The screening rates of those big companies alone are beyond their reach.
For example, the recent "Man Jiang Lu" was lifted up by its terrifying screening rate, and its first-day box office was far higher than other movies.
This is enough to show the influence of industry resources on movie box office.
It is extremely difficult for an outsider to get in.
This is also the main reason why they are not optimistic about Honghuang’s operation.
And in their discussion.
"Titanic" is finally officially released.
Many theaters across the country also began playing the film.
Using the survivor narrative method, the touching story hidden in the game is revealed.
…
Three full hours.
There is no news about this movie online.
But three hours later, when the movie was over, the couples wiped their tears and walked out of the cinema with red eyes.
Some even burst into tears and couldn't stop no matter how their friends consoled them.
The strange scene confused everyone passing by the cinema entrance.
Pick up the phone and take a look.
I found that the entire Internet was in an uproar.
Just a dozen minutes.
Movie reviews and various impressions of "Titanic" began to emerge on major platforms.
Crazy refreshing their eyes.
[Oh my god, this is definitely the most soul-stirring movie I have ever seen. I don’t even know how to describe my feelings.]
[Originally they planned to get a room after watching the movie, but they ended up crying in their seats, and it took them a while to recover.]
[Can you imagine? When the ship sank at the end, the whole theater was filled with crying. Even a grown man like me was wiping tears. It has been a long time since I have watched such a touching movie.]
[The final scene was so shocking and despairing. When Jack sank to the bottom of the sea, I really hoped someone would reach out and pull him up, but no one did.]
[The background music is also great, it matches the movie perfectly, especially when it sounded at the end, I couldn't help but get teary-eyed. The movie ticket was worth it! ]
There are many such reviews, and they are all different, popping up one after another like leeks.
Everyone who has watched "Titanic" has been deeply moved by the movie and wants to express their exciting emotions through words.
Netizens who were confused were shocked by the huge response and began searching for information about the movie.
And at this time.
In the live broadcast room.
Ouyang Xiao, who had just finished watching a movie and walked out of the cinema, had red eyes and kept wiping them with tissues.
"So... the final plot turned out to be like this..."
In this movie , her role is one of the nobles. She didn't have many opportunities to appear on camera, so she didn't discover any important plots while exploring the game.
Now after watching the movie, she finally understood.
It turns out that there was such a touching story behind this disaster.
Especially when the cruise ship sank at the end and she saw Jack freezing to the bottom of the sea in order to save Rose, she couldn't stop crying.
"I just finished watching this movie, and I have only one word to say: Honghuang is awesome!"
" I watched it together. The scene shocked me for the whole year. I experienced the feeling of a tough guy crying."
"I can only say that this movie is so well made. My girlfriend said she really liked this gift."
"Thanks to Honghuang, a CG movie made my wife and I reconcile. I don't have much money, so I bought a regular version of VR to show my support."
"I won't say any more. I'll just go back and experience the game plot again."
“I heard that a lot of character perspectives have been unlocked. I wonder if I can play as Jack? Don’t get me wrong, I just like drawing.”
As soon as the broadcast started, the live broadcast room became lively.
Many viewers who had nowhere to vent after watching the movie also showed up to discuss the movie's plot and share their feelings at the moment.
Sales volume of VR glasses.
There was also a surge in popularity due to the influence of the movie.
Many people placed orders to buy the game with the intention of experiencing the game’s plot for themselves.
…
The other side.
Old Song, who was on vacation at home, was also shocked when he heard the news.
It's only been one day.
They limited the sale to 9999 copies of the deluxe VR package, and it was sold out!
If several employees hadn't called him to report, he wouldn't have believed his ears.
"Are these people crazy? They spend thousands more on the deluxe version just for that crappy model and necklace?"
Old Song stood on the balcony with a look of astonishment on his face, still holding an unfinished beer in his hand.
"Yes, Boss Song. I didn't believe it at first, but when I checked the backend data, it was really sold out. In addition, many people called to ask when the deluxe VR gift package would be available again."
An employee's confused voice came from the other end of the phone.
Old Song opened his mouth and talked on the phone for a long time, finally squeezing out only one sentence.
"What the hell, these guys have so much money and nowhere to spend it?"
