night.
The uneasy feeling in Zhou Zhenyu's heart not only did not slow down, but became even stronger.
Throughout the day, the booth in front of the Magic Tower was bustling with activity. A group of players competed against four computers and discussed endlessly without realizing how stupid their behavior was!
On the contrary, the Dragon King's booth was obviously less popular in the afternoon.
Even Zhou Zhenyu himself felt surprised. He actually had an ominous premonition because of that little game
To him this was simply ridiculous.
However, the reality is that in the independent game section of the forum, almost 40% of the posts are discussing "Magic Tower", and 20% of the posts are discussing "Cultivation Simulator".
On the other hand, Sunbird's "Dragon King" has less than 10% of the discussion intensity during the day, and only a few building posts are still struggling to support it.
Sensing something amiss on the boss's face, the assistant standing aside quickly spoke up.
"...Our fans are all waiting for Yagami's live broadcast. It's normal not to be in the forum."
Ye Shen, B station ID: say Ye, is considered to be the top player in the game area. The number of fans is second only to Zhang Xiang, who has been scolded and has been on several hot searches.
However, what is different from Zhang Xiang is that this Night God is a serious uploader who makes game videos. He is different from Zhang Xiang, an unscrupulous anchor who spends all his time thinking about making money from side projects and killing black fans. The difference between cloud and mud!
Almost none of the games promoted by this great master have hit the streets!
After hearing the assistant's words, Zhou Zhenyu's expression calmed down a little.
It's just that the slight arc between the eyebrows still carries a hint of unrest.
He really couldn't understand why such a crude "little game" could trigger discussions in the entire independent game sector!
"... Players' taste is getting worse and worse now. Even this kind of stuff is worth discussing, haha."
With a sneer at the corner of his mouth, Zhou Zhenyu reached out to close the laptop on the table and stood up from the chair.
"You keep an eye on the live broadcast room, I'll go out and relax."
The assistant standing behind nodded slightly.
"yes!"
Soon it was 8pm.
There was already a busy scene in Ye Shen's live broadcast room.
With much anticipation, this top celebrity with tens of millions of fans started live broadcasting the subsequent chapters of Dragon King in front of millions of viewers.
It's different from the version released at the game show.
Yagami will show the first chapter in the live broadcast-that is, the plot after Novice Village.
Before the start of the live broadcast, the live broadcast rooms of Sunbird Studio and Ye Shen can be said to have whetted the appetite of players. The plot of apprenticeship at Five Elements Mountain starting from Chapter 002 has become the highlight of the early plot.
However…
Something embarrassing happened.
When Ye Shen successfully passed the level of Chapter 001 and entered Chapter 002 by relying on the operating skills he had practiced countless times in private, the response to the barrage in the live broadcast room was mediocre.
[I always feel a little bored...]
[Yeah, just to get through Novice Village, I wish I had knocked down 100 crabs, and the martial arts moves I used didn’t change much.]
[What do you know? Dragon King is a slow-burning game! If you want to have fun playing Fire Qilin’s Assassin’s Chronicles without any fuss!]
[What does it mean to be cool without thinking... The open map of someone else’s new work is obviously amazing, okay? Have you ever been to a game show? Maybe you are a cloud player again.]
[I just like to swipe and swipe, okay? That’s how Sunbird is set up! Like to play or not!]
Seeing the quarrel in the live broadcast room, Yashen quickly gave his assistant a wink and motioned for him to arrange the robot.
The use of barrage bots is not a secret in the host circle.
After all, if the audience is allowed to post random comments, it will be difficult to control the rhythm once it gets up.
The best way is to cover up the rhythm with a lot of barrages, so that those who are chatting in the live broadcast room are drowned in the ocean of barrages and unable to connect to the topic.
This embarrassing topic was naturally over.
To be honest, Yagami was actually quite surprised.
When he took the job promoted by Dragon King, he didn't take it carelessly. Instead, he carefully examined the quality of the game before accepting the other party's offer.
However, what confused him was that the feeling of playing the official version was completely different from the feeling of playing the demo version.
The whole game is like a sponge soaked in water. Although it still looks bright and polished on the surface, it starts to feel boring within a few minutes of playing.
The barrage in the live broadcast room also clearly reflected this on the screen.
[The action special effects feel a bit monotonous.]
[Yeah, using it on mobs feels like overkill.]
[I’m really tired of watching the special effects animation. It would be great if I could automatically defeat monsters. (laugh)]
[Speaking of automatic monster killing, I saw a weird game at the game show today. The battle was directly about adding and subtracting numbers.]
[Number addition and subtraction? There is a woolen toy head there.]
[Hey, don’t tell me, I saw that when the show ended, there were more people queuing up than at the Dragon King booth!]
Taking the time to watch the barrage in the live broadcast room, Ye Shen's brows twitched slightly.
After all, he can be regarded as a professional anchor. Even in the face of headwinds, he can rely on his superb live broadcast skills and tricks to mobilize the atmosphere in the live broadcast room and cover up the flaws of the game itself.
However, even so, when he stopped broadcasting, the popularity in the live broadcast room had obviously dropped by a full 30% compared to when it first started broadcasting.
This is even after the sponsor gave them promotion!
After deducting the 30% of his popularity, it would be equivalent to not retaining even a single passerby fan after this live broadcast.
Thinking of this, Ye Shen couldn't help but dumbfounded.
This is too difficult!
He leaned back on the chair, and the assistant beside him brought him a cup of cappuccino.
"Ye Shen, the data seems to be somewhat unsatisfactory."
"Well, I've noticed it." After taking the coffee, Sayye pressed his eyebrows and rubbed them, "It's probably a problem with the product itself..."
The assistant nodded and continued.
"Indeed, I have been watching your live broadcast. It can be said that not only is there no problem at all, but your live broadcast is even extraordinary, but the popularity of the live broadcast room has not been mobilized. I was just thinking, could it be... "
"Could it be something?"
"Is the plot of Dragon King... a bit boring?" the assistant asked tentatively in an uncertain tone.
"It seems that even you feel that it's not just me," Say Ye sighed, "It was a miscalculation."
When Sunbird found him before, Sayye was still a little excited. After all, since the beginning of the year, the discussion about the Dragon King has been overwhelming.
If he can get the qualification to live broadcast the first chapter, his live broadcast room will undoubtedly attract the attention of all "bird fans" on the Internet!
So without much hesitation, he agreed to the conditions proposed by Sunbird and seized this opportunity.
However, despite all his calculations, he still failed to realize that the problem actually lies with the game itself.
Other anchors who live-streamed the trial chapters seemed to have a mediocre response in terms of popularity in the live-streaming room.
Many people even played halfway through the game and simply cut out other games under the instigation of the barrage.
"... How about we try to broadcast other games tomorrow?" the assistant suggested.
"I think so too," Sayye took a sip of coffee and cheered up again, "Do you have any good suggestions? I've been preparing for Dragon King's live broadcast these days and haven't paid much attention to the competition."
"I discovered that there is a game that is quite popular, but..."
Seeing the assistant hesitate to speak, Say Ye raised his eyebrows.
"only?"
"...I have already downloaded it for you, you should read it yourself."
With that said, the assistant opened the notebook in his hand and handed it to Yagami.
Magic Tower
Looking at the pixelated pictures and rough cutscenes, Sayye's eyebrows knitted together tightly.
Although his instinct was not optimistic about this game, due to the quality of a professional gamer, he still clicked the button to start the game.
There are no surprises.
In just 10 minutes, the assistant standing nearby saw the "Game Over" icon pop up on the screen.
But what surprised the assistant was that Yagami didn't get angry and curse after losing like other players at the scene.
But...
"...This game is kind of interesting."
"Um?"
After calming down, Sayye did not start the next game immediately, but logged into the official forum of Shanghai Game Exhibition.
As if his suspicion was verified, he let go of the mouse and sighed with relief.
"really."
As of now, at least one-third of the entire panel's posts are about the Magic Tower.
Among them, there were those who communicated with each other about technology, some who scolded the production team, and some who even wrote fan books, but the only ones who couldn’t see it were the navy.
Of course, if we simply compare the number of posts, Magic Tower, as a niche game, is still slightly inferior to Dragon King, which occupies half of the forum.
It's just that in the Dragon King's posts, you can see the brainless trolls and the fans who brought their own dry food, but they can't see a few technical exchanges and in-depth discussions on the plot.
Maybe, but not very popular.
You know, action and plot are the main selling points of Dragon King!
If no one is discussing the plot, it may be because the game is only open to the trial chapter, but I, who just played the first chapter live, clearly saw the comments from the friends in the live broadcast room.
There seems to be no need to hesitate about what to do.
If you move quickly, you might be able to gain some popularity.
Thinking of this, Say Ye immediately made a decision.
"Order some takeout for me. The show will start in half an hour."
The assistant looked surprised and spoke hesitantly.
"But over there at Sunbird..."
Although it is not stated in the contract that other games cannot be broadcast, Dragon King has just been broadcasted and then went to broadcast other entries. It is obviously against the sponsor's father!
Looking at the worried assistant, a shy smile appeared on Sayye's lips.
"Don't worry about Sunbird, they only bought my live broadcast from 8pm to 2am."
"After two o'clock in the morning, it's outside the contract!"
