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

Chapter 483 They love it too?
Celebrities and game designers are completely unrelated.

Especially when the celebrity is also exceptionally handsome.

Tom suspected that his eyes were playing tricks on him from staying up all night.

But after staring at it for several seconds, the title remained the same.

He also discovered that the account that posted the tweet was GameSpot—a globally renowned gaming news media outlet that has reported on many well-known games with in-depth and authoritative information.

As a gamer, who could resist clicking on this kind of title and account posting?
Tom couldn't resist, and he immediately forgot about searching for information about the Chinese celebrity and went straight to the tweet to see the details.

Then the contents inside completely stunned him.

[GameSpot]: "Netflix's new show 'City Survival' has become a hit, and the show's lead actor, Chinese star Wu Mu, has attracted a lot of attention. People are talking about who he is, his past works, the movies he has made, etc. But many people don't know that in addition to being an excellent actor, he is also a genius game producer from China."

"Or it's not quite accurate to say he's a genius game producer, because genius is usually used to describe those late-blooming talents who haven't yet matured. But the Chinese star Wu Mu's first officially released game sold 7.2 million copies on the Steam platform, and his second game, which opened for pre-order this month, has sold 4.3 million copies."

"This is undoubtedly a mature and well-known game producer."

Ok?
Tens of millions of game sales?
"A generous gift of crabs!" Tom's hand trembled, and he almost dropped his phone.

If you were to ask this science popularizer what acting achievements he has made in China, he might not even know.

But the sales of educational games are in the tens of millions! And those tens of millions are still on the Steam platform!

This isn't the kind of sales volume only a super popular game can achieve!

That Chinese celebrity who looks like a pretty boy, the kind of person you'd stereotype as someone who makes a living off his looks, actually made a game that sold tens of millions of copies!?
Tom was stunned.

As he read the detailed report further down, he paused again in surprise.

"Huh? Vampire Survivor? He made this game?"

He's played this game before!
I played for over two hundred hours!

Not only did I finish playing the entire game, but I also played through all the large mods in the Steam Workshop.

I've criticized the game developer quite a bit before for updating too slowly. Why don't they release new versions or DLC? Are they worried they don't have enough money?

It turns out he was a superstar who went off to film Netflix shows?

Tom suddenly felt a bit conflicted. He'd watched the show before and was really interested in seeing other works by this celebrity, but after discovering that this celebrity was one of his favorite game developers, what was this guy doing?! A famous game producer not making games, but being a celebrity here?!?
But this guy released a new game?
After reading GameSpot's report, Tom couldn't help but search for information about Wu Mu's new game, and soon found the content that everyone had copied and translated.

"Hey, if I pre-order now, I can get a 'Pioneer' game title?" Tom's eyes lit up.

He didn't care about the ten dollars he saved from the promotion; it was only 1.4 US dollars, enough for something as simple as buying a fried chicken.
But game achievement titles... you'd be crazy not to get them!

Buying a movie ticket seems a bit of a hassle, and spending $5 for nothing feels a bit wasteful.

No problem, Tom quickly found it online; the movie ticket redemption code could be directly listed on eBay, where many Chinese people were buying them. On the third day after Netflix's new variety show aired, before the show's popularity had even reached China, the buzz surrounding the Wumu Games and the movie's box office had already exploded.

The box office, which had previously entered a period of sluggish growth, has surprisingly set a new record.

Box office of 1.5 million yuan in a single day!
People both inside and outside the industry are stunned. The movie has been in theaters for almost half a month, and yet the box office has gone up again?
Other movies have already dropped by less than half, but this one is still going up?
This makes sense!

Furthermore, people have noticed that, including the box office gains over the past two days, the film has already reached over 10 billion yuan.
The film grossed around 300 million in its opening week, then the Noon Wood collaboration event boosted it by about 500 million in a few days, and now it's starting to rise again, gaining over 200 million in just two days.
A genuine art film, grossing over a billion at the box office!?
And it's clearly poised for another price increase?
The online public opinion has exploded.

"No way, are you guys crazy! A niche art film about breaking up during the Chinese New Year, and you guys pushed it to a billion yuan at the box office?"

"Holy crap, holy crap! So many people are obsessed with romance?! They're willing to pay so much for Wu Gou?! You guys are going crazy for such a niche art film?!"

"Before the collapse of the 'Wu Gou' trope, its highest-grossing film was only 200 million yuan. Now, a niche art film made 1 billion yuan after the collapse, a fivefold increase? Is this how the trope collapsed?"

Everyone was stunned when they saw the box office figures.

However, quite a few people are aware of this.

"It's normal for prices to rise these past two days. Go check eBay and see how many movie tickets are being sold for Wu Gou Cinema. Many people don't even care about the price; they're buying tickets for just one or two dollars, or seven or eight dollars or ten dollars. Studios are buying them up like crazy. It's no wonder prices are going up."

"Hahahaha, don't even mention listing it on eBay, just go to the Neo forums and you'll find tons of free redemption codes. Many people just want the game title, can't watch the movie, and are too lazy to sell it, so they just post it for anyone who needs it. It's like foreigners are treating us to free movies!"

"I've managed to seduce a foreigner, you know. I don't really like paying to watch Wu Gou's niche art films, but if I could watch them for free, I'd definitely fleece him!"

Many people who frequently use circumvention tools to access the internet explain this to everyone.

This undoubtedly surprised many people.

A foreigner invited me to a movie?

Are you offering free redemption codes?
"Yes, don't you guys pay attention to Wu Gou's activities? Actually, what's so special about a movie box office of 1 billion? After all, it's a Cannes award-winning film, and Wu Gou performed well. It's definitely more worthwhile than those marketing films. The most outrageous thing is his game. He just made a promise on Weibo. The game hasn't even started production yet, but it has already sold 7.6 million copies."

Ok?
Um? ?

The number of views on Wu Mu's Weibo post about the game event also surged, with countless users rushing in to check the number of pre-orders for the game. Then everyone was shocked to discover that the number of pre-orders for Wu Mu's game had reached 7.6 million copies.

"How is this possible?" Shu Mei stared blankly at the data on Wu Mu's phone.

7.6 million copies?

Moreover, more than 30% of them are foreign players?

Domestic players can accept buying her, after all, it has been proven many times before that those fans really love her brother!
But foreign players are buying it too?
They love it too?
P.S.: It looks a bit padded, but actually, the plot moves very quickly when combined into a 4,000-word chapter.
