This generation of black fans is too good at buying, the top streamers are going crazy

Chapter 482: Game Pre-orders Surge

Shumei believes this is a landmark event!
The extent of a celebrity's fame needs to be determined through various references and rankings.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for the general audience to have a clear understanding.

Netflix's top charts are a valuable resource for reference.

You can't convince people by simply saying how popular your idol is overseas.

But if your idol's show as the absolute lead has topped Netflix's charts...
What? You say you've never heard of any Netflix top charts or Netflix?

You've heard of "The Squid Game" and "House of Cards," right? These are Netflix shows, and they were the shows that topped Netflix's charts back in the day.

To round it off, their idols starred in "The Squid Game" and "House of Cards"!
Yes, there are differences even among the top teams, so let's not focus on minor details like the absolute number of viewers.

When I met Shumei at breakfast in the hotel restaurant after getting up, she brought me more information.

"Brother, our show has reached third place!" She looked at the rankings on her phone, beaming with joy.

"Generally speaking, the peak of popularity for a show is on the second or third day after it airs. We've only had one night, so we have a good chance of topping the charts." Shi Wu was also there, expressing his satisfaction with the success of his boss's new show.
To be honest, he wasn't surprised at all; he'd won so many shows in the past six months that it seemed like none of them had ever failed.

Moreover, the reaction to this program was already somewhat predictable when, during the recording in Japan, it was revealed that Wu Mu had connections with the Yakuza and was treated as a guest of honor by them.

Although he really wanted to advise his boss to tone down his freedom, as a public figure, being treated like a guest of honor by gangsters was a bit too much!
Wu Mu nodded. "When I came down just now, the program director, Cui Xiangzhong, also called me about this."

Kim Hye-yeon previously said that Director Choi was difficult to get along with, but that was a complete misunderstanding.

This person wasn't difficult to get along with at all. Not only did they keep thanking him on the phone, but they also enthusiastically wanted to invite him to continue appearing on their future shows. They even jokingly asked if they had disturbed his rest, saying that they had looked up information about Wu Mu and deliberately chose a later time to call.

They're quite easy to get along with.

The show's popularity is reflected not only in its ranking on Netflix but also in its popularity on social media platforms.

It goes without saying that he trended on social media in Japan and South Korea, but Shu Mei is paying close attention to the increase in followers on Wu Mu's accounts across various platforms.

"Brother, our Twitter followers increased by more than a million overnight!"

The effects of the global hit series were immediate. Wu Mu's Twitter followers increased to over 4.2 million, mainly due to his Japanese album and the Cannes Best Actor award.

And now it has increased by more than a quarter in just one night.

The number of followers on Instagram has also increased by more than 900,000, and now it's over 2.8 million.

This is based on the fact that Wu Mu basically doesn't use Twitter or Instagram, except for a previous promotional video for his hometown and a backstage video from "Music Station".

"Brother, please use Twitter more often! Make it more like an active account so that people will be interested in following you!" Shu Mei strongly suggested.

Wu Mu nodded in agreement this time, saying it was time to start using Twitter. In the future, when it comes to performance-based rewards, they can't always rely on domestic viewers; they should also take advantage of international viewers.

Because most of the previous project redemptions were done domestically, he had almost forgotten that performance cards could also be redeemed in overseas markets.

I only noticed it this morning when I woke up—his previous game pre-orders suddenly increased by a large amount.

When the Netflix show aired, the number of pre-orders for Noonwood Games was a little over four million copies.

A game hasn't even been released yet, and it's already received four million pre-orders based on just one Weibo post—that's truly astonishing.

But in reality, not even half of the profit card's credit limit was redeemed.

Furthermore, the number of pre-orders for the game has clearly begun to slow down.

At this rate, it's very likely that the project will be delayed indefinitely. But this morning, he suddenly discovered that game pre-orders had jumped to over 4.6 million copies.

It increased by five or six hundred thousand in one go.

At first, he thought that the domestic audience was influenced by the popularity of the new program and was also affected by the performance evaluation card.

Looking at the comments and messages under the Weibo post, there wasn't a significant increase.

Looking at the backend statistics for the game pre-order event, a significant portion of them are from European and American users.
Los Angeles, USA.

Tom had just finished playing games all night and was yawning as he washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Even though he hadn't slept all night, he still habitually took out his phone while lying in bed and opened Netflix to watch some shows.

Now, if I don't watch some dramas or short videos before bed, I feel like the day hasn't even passed.

However, when he opened the Netflix charts, he had already watched almost all the shows on the English-language program list, and he wasn't interested in the few he hadn't watched.

So he simply clicked on the non-English program list again, wanting to see if there were any interesting foreign programs.

This is also a major advantage of Netflix's charts, because Netflix uses the same software across the entire network. Global users see the same rankings for both English and non-English programs, in addition to their local rankings. As a result, many users from other regions are also attracted to watch programs by the charts.

This also generates a lot of exposure.

Then, when Tom opened the list of non-English programs, he immediately saw Tom's face on the cover of the show "Survival Game: City Survival".

"He's that handsome?"

Tom muttered to himself.

He's neither a woman nor a gay man, and he's not particularly interested in handsome faces.

But since I'm looking for shows anyway, what difference does it make which one I click on?

With this in mind, he clicked on the program.

then
Tom stared blankly out the window at the bright sun, his eyes red.

Ah, seven hours have passed?
It's already afternoon?

No, he just wanted to scroll through his phone for a bit!
He was exhausted, but the images from the program he had just watched kept him so excited that he couldn't fall asleep.

He was particularly curious about who the Chinese celebrity on the show was.

Chinese celebrities I've never heard of before, but filming a variety show is as exciting as making a movie?

He forced himself to stay awake and opened Twitter to search for information about the show's main actors.

Then the results popped up, but the first one wasn't Wu Mu's information; instead, it was a game tweet:
[Wu Mu, star of the wildly popular variety show "City Survival Battle": A genius game designer from China]

Huh?
Huh? ?

Tom stared blankly at the tweet on his phone screen.

What the hell?

Wu Mu, the lead actor in "City Survival," is a genius game designer?

Did he stay up all night and become confused?
