Big Manga

The crowd outside the game store was densely packed, and in the crowded crowd, everyone's face was filled with joyful enthusiasm and warmth.

"This scene is just like summer..."

The person who expressed this emotion was in a quiet morning tea shop on the second floor opposite the game store.

Alice's family is sitting in the private room drinking morning tea, there are a few bodyguards standing by the door, and the singing of "Summer Shadow" can be heard faintly in the room - just like the game store opposite, there is also "Summer Shadow" here. "Shadow", because this is a luxurious chatting place for white-collar workers——He Xi's fan morning tea shop.

For the promotion of the game, in addition to Longquan and Datang, some fan gathering places in various places also have corresponding promotions. This morning tea shop also got the song "Summer Shadow" and some brochures of "" and it will also sell pre-sale tickets for three nearby game stores.

"I still wonder why you pulled us out!" Xu Jing drank tea, looked at the bustling game store opposite, and said lightly: "So I came to observe the promotional effect of ""."

Alice smiled: "Isn't this very good? This time the advertisement is not as loud as before, so you must be worried..."

Xu Jing snorted, but did not speak. However, he was really worried before that Meng Huo's game release decision was made too hastily. However, sitting in this morning tea shop and looking at it, the worries in Xu Jing's heart immediately disappeared without a trace. Pity' shame on this golden signboard.

And the other side. Xu Jing's wife stirred the milk tea and looked at Alice strangely.

Alice found her gaze: "Mom, what's the matter? Keep staring at me?"

"No, nothing..." The woman smiled awkwardly. She can't say that her daughter is strange today: "I was just thinking, this song is very good, it sounds comfortable."

"That's right." Xu Jing nodded in agreement: "That kid's songs are just like comics, and people can always find surprises. For a while, I was particularly worried that he would suddenly run off to become a musician, but fortunately he has no experience in this area. thought……"

A sweetness flashed in Alice's eyes: "He's not bad as a musician, actually, I think his personality is very suitable to be a musician..."

She imagined what it would be like for Meng Huo to become a musician. If Meng Huo develops into the music industry, he definitely doesn't develop into singers. But as a part-time composer pianist. Although pianists are also stars, unlike singers, they don't always need to shine in front of the public, and they also go to some higher-end stages.

In Huaxia.

The social status of pianists and classical violin artists is higher than that of singers and celebrities. The audiences that top pianists face are the upper class of society, which makes them very famous and influential. If Meng Huo became a pianist, he would become a noble son.

"It's not bad..." Alice muttered. She thought that if Meng Huo became a pianist, she would be able to follow him as an agent, and her usual performances would be in the Grand Theater. Such a life is simply too much. Great - Shen Jie will definitely not be able to keep up.

"..." Alice's expression changed slightly. But was caught by her mother. The blond woman's heart immediately brightened like a mirror, her guess was right, the change in her daughter must be related to Meng Huo. This made the woman both happy and worried. What is happy is the change of her daughter, but what is worrying is that she is not optimistic about these two people-not to mention Meng Huo's attitude, the age difference between the two people, they will not be a good match.

But even so, the woman can only pray for her daughter now, other men are fine. That boy even regarded Xu Jing as a treasure, and she couldn't help him even if she wanted to.

"Alas..." The woman couldn't help sighing.

Alice's eyes fixed on her at once. Like her own mother, she is equally sensitive: "Mom, do you really have something on your mind?"

"No." The woman was not flustered at all. She smiled and found an excuse: "I'm just worried about the sales of this game. Didn't you say that its advertisements are not good? Just rely on the current advertisements." , so most people don’t know about it, do they?”

He Xi's fan gathering places are only organized in some big cities, so the game advertisements are mainly promoted by the two stores of Datang and Longquan. The channels of these two companies are very strong, but they can't cover everything. They have a small number in some small cities, and there is even a situation where there is only one left.

The woman's words are not unreasonable, as long as others do not pass by the streets of these two stores, it will be difficult to know about the release of "".

"Don't worry... this type of game is a niche game, and players' information spreads quickly." But Xu Jing shook his head and said with a smile: "I think it won't be long before someone will post news on the Internet and know how to play it." People with text adventures will be able to receive the news soon, and there are enough people."

His analysis is based on the current situation of Chinese text adventure games. This type of game has been developed for many years and has gradually formed a stable and special player group.

In this player group, the authority represented by the name 'He Xi' is even greater than his authority in the comics industry. He Xi is in the comics industry, but there are still people who can challenge him. But in the world of text adventure games, he is a well-deserved emperor, and it can even be said that there is no text adventure without He Xi.

Almost all text adventure players have played He Xi's games. His works are at a completely different level from other text adventure games on the market. A new game will attract attention immediately when it comes out, and it will quickly become popular among game lovers. Spread, probably faster than advertising.

In fact, at this point in time, some forums and chat rooms that gather fans of text adventure games have spread the news like crazy.

"Teacher He Xi has released a new game!"

"The game is called "" and it can be pre-ordered at Datang and Longquan now. Hurry up, everyone!"

"Finally waiting for a new game. Recently, more and more games are imitating Teacher He Xi's works. I'm tired of playing other games!"

"That's right! There was a game called "Family" last time. Such a blatant imitation, but I heard that the sales volume is not bad! Now the game companies have become smarter, and all kinds of characters and plots imitate Mr. He Xi. He Xi Xi teacher's game shows signs of becoming someone else's template..."

"Haha, I'm already tired of playing and ready to leave the group! Teacher He Xi has released a new work!? Well... I won't take it off for the time being!"

In a very short period of time, text adventure lovers throughout China knew about the release of He Xi's new game, and the reservations for the two stores of Datang and Longquan were also rising rapidly, easily surpassing the number of text adventures across the country in the past few months Total game sales.

But the real enthusiasm has not yet fermented, the response speed of the paper media is very slow, and the online media also took several hours to expand from the fragmentary website.

"He Xi's mysterious new work is here! "" - the most low-key text adventure game!", "Like the warm sun in winter. The well-known voice actor Longxue added a new song "Summer Shadow"!", "Let us look forward to "" together. What kind of story will He Xi bring!"

When news of new game releases gradually occupied major game forums and websites. Its benefits are gradually revealed. Unlike the previous game releases, when the news of "" came out this time, the game manufacturers, as competitors, not only did not panic, but took the initiative to jump out and help the game advertise on Weibo.

"He Xi, the ancestor of text adventure games, has come out to sell games again. Teacher He Xi is very low-key this time. It seems that he is confident about the game quality of ""." Great success!" - Shi Guangtou, President of Dwarf Network Company.

"He Xi's product must be a high-quality product, "", the expectation is well worth it! By the way, sell our pork, and it will be more delicious when you play games." ——A Lei, President of Yiwang Company

"Officially inform all fans of the good news that our company has decided to develop a text adventure game, and the first game is called "Air"!" ——Anima, President of Swan Company

"Just now I received news that some unscrupulous company intends to invade players' computers after the release of "" and steal players' game data and personal information. We strongly recommend that you install our 180 security guards and 180 antivirus software!" —— Xiao Zhou, President of 180 Company week

The presidents of several Internet companies jumped out and made advertisements for "", which stunned the players who saw Weibo. He Xi used to develop text adventure games. Every time it comes out, it will scare some game manufacturers into confusion. It's good if they don't come out to sarcasm and swear, but why do they come out and say good things today?

In fact, this phenomenon is not surprising at all. Text adventure games have been developed for many years, and many manufacturers have seen that He Xixin is not here.

That cartoonist has too many actions in other industries, and his mind is mainly on industries related to comics, which will not pose a real threat to the game industry. Others naturally don't need to be nervous. And now the development of Huaxia text adventure games has entered a strange circle, and everyone is imitating He Xi.

I have been making text adventure games for several years. Game developers found that their own settings were too difficult. They worked hard on character setting and story description, but sales were not good. The easiest and most profitable way is to imitate He Xi. His games have a large audience and there are too many places that can be used.

Take "ad" as an example, every character in it can be used for reference to create a brand new text adventure game, the plot is better to think about - the sales volume is quite good. For this reason, after seeing "" came out, the bosses of those large, medium and small game companies were all happy and took the initiative to help it promote it.

In fact, this is what they thought in their hearts:

"He Xi, what did this guy do! The launch of the new game is so petty, and he doesn't even do advertisements. Can this be popular?"

"Oh, this won't work, how can "" not be popular? If it is not popular, how can we be popular!?"

"Advertising, I must help He Xi to advertise! There are not enough players to play "" and our "Air" will be deserted after it is launched..."

"There is an interview on the TV station in the evening. It seems that I will praise the song during the interview. It seems to be called "Summer Shadow", right? Although I have never heard of it, it must have an effect. It shows my tolerance... I'm sorry, I'm such a genius!"

The presidents are happy, and of course many readers can see through their thoughts.

"Hey, have you read Weibo? A lot of game company presidents are praising "", these people are so funny!", "That must be done, they are addicted to copying, if you don't help "", who will you help!"

In the Far East District, Hokkaido, there were several students chatting and laughing in the comic shop, but after a while, the boys and girls had a quarrel.

"Mr. He Xi is so low-key this time, it must be an 18-ban version of the game!", "Nonsense, "" must be an all-ages version!"

What they are arguing about is the version of "" and although the girls don't play games much, they believe that "" is the version for all ages, while the boys are just the opposite. But after a few quarrels, they realized that they knew nothing about "" and the quarrel was in vain, so it was better to ask someone who might know.

A girl turned her head and asked Takashima Koko, who was guarding the counter, "Xiangko, don't your parents work for Sakura Company? Did they say what version this game is?"

Koko Takashima just came back last night and was dozing off. When she was questioned, she woke up: "What, what did you say?"

The girl had to ask again.

"Oh, "" ah..." Takashima Koko yawned: "I heard from my real sister that it is for all ages."

"Look, it really is an all-age version!?"

"Wait...Xiangzi, what did you just say? Who is the real sister? Miss Xia Chuanzhen?" The eyes of the boys lit up, and the girls were also surprised when they heard it: "Miss Zhenzhen, isn't she a super idol?" Xiangzi, how did you know her?"

"Speaking of which, Xiangzi, what have you been doing in the past few months? You even dropped out of school!", "Yes, you said you started working, what kind of job is it!"

The group of young people asked one after another, Takashima Koko was a little nervous. Sweat was forming on her forehead, she hadn't told these companions about her becoming a voice actor, and she didn't know how to say it. Because her foundation as a voice actor is too weak, she has been receiving training in the agency for the past few months, and she has not really debuted yet, and she has not even received a notice to debut. If she is lucky, she will have the opportunity in April or May.

It's not that she didn't want to speak out, but after returning to her hometown, she was a little scared. This Chinese New Year may be the last time in her life as an ordinary girl, and she will come back as a voice actor in the future. Even if it is a small voice actor, the attitude of these classmates and friends will change...

Koko Takashima didn't think there was anything wrong with being a star before, but now she realizes that while gaining glory as a star, she may also lose a lot of things.

"The truth I just said is actually a secretary of my father..."

So she denied the doubts of her companions, this Chinese New Year, she planned to spend it peacefully. (to be continued) ()
