Chapter 330 Feng Ji: Hoping the first gameplay trailer for "Black Myth: Wukong" will get 100 million views.
Lu Yun had seen the first gameplay trailer for "Black Myth: Wukong" from his previous life.

In this life, with Guo Fan and Jiaozi involved, and Feng Ji handling the production himself, he was very curious about how the in-game promotional video turned out.

Guo Fan and Jiaozi were equally curious. Ever since they played an early version of "Black Myth: Wukong," they knew very well what an excellent game it was.

Barring any unforeseen circumstances, it will undoubtedly bring about revolutionary changes to the domestic single-player game industry, much like "The Wandering Earth" brought to domestic sci-fi blockbusters and "Ne Zha" brought to domestic animation.

Therefore, this first in-game promotional video is very important.

Previously, they had only provided guidance to Feng Ji and had seen some fragmented video clips, but they had never actually seen the full promotional video.

So when they heard that Feng Ji had finished editing the film, they arrived immediately.

An Fangfei didn't come this time because Prince Abdul of the UAE started causing trouble.

"I'm not trying to flatter you, dear Lu, nor am I buying the first export space shuttle to get closer to you. It's just because one of the UAE's major future strategies is to vigorously develop the tourism industry."

Abdul said very seriously, "We analyzed Ms. An Fangfei's big data. Her leading position, influence, positive image, and high national popularity, coupled with the fact that Chinese people are an important source of tourists for Azabi, all these factors make her an ideal bridge between young consumers in the global Chinese-speaking region and the Middle Eastern tourism market..."

Lu Yun knew that what he said was true.

As the people of Laos and China become wealthier, more and more of them are traveling abroad, with the famous UAE being a well-known tourist destination.

An Fangfei's popularity among Chinese people goes without saying, and she also has a certain degree of fame globally, after all, she didn't get so many world-class fashion and luxury brand endorsements for nothing.

Abroad, being associated with fashion and luxury goods opens up connections with a wide range of people, and one's influence can be considerable.

Not to mention that An Fangfei's father has connections in France, and Paris, France, is at the forefront of fashion.

So An Fangfei was invited to Azabi for an inspection during this period and did not come along.

But she'll be back soon, because her birthday is in a few days, and Lu Yun will take her to space to celebrate it.

………………

Looking at the three curious-looking people at Youke Company, Feng Ji suddenly felt a little nervous.

“I was quite confident at first,” Feng Ji said, scratching his head, “but I got nervous when I saw the curious looks in your eyes.”

Guo Fan laughed and said, "What's there to be nervous about? You've done so many big projects, this is just a small promotional video."

“That’s right, relax.” Dumpling grinned crookedly.

However, Lu Yun was more direct. Feng Ji was nervous, but he wasn't, so he reached for the mouse and clicked "start playing".

"Hey!"

Feng Ji was about to speak when Lu Yun interrupted him: "Hey what? Keep quiet, Lao Feng."

"..."

The video started playing, and the words and icon of "Game Science" appeared on the black screen. Accompanied by desolate music, an old voice began to tell a story.

“You must have all heard his story.”

"Some say that he helped Tang Sanzang obtain the true scriptures, was bestowed the title of Victorious Fighting Buddha, and remained on Mount Ling from then on..."

"Some people also say..."

"..."

"This story begins with a cicada..."

As the text "[The following content is a recording of actual gameplay; early versions do not represent the final quality]" appears and then disappears, a "cicada" begins to fly through realistic ancient buildings and dense forests.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene, Lu Yun felt his eyes were somewhat dazed.

The old monkey telling stories was still voiced by the same person from his previous life, and Lu Yun, reborn in this life, still didn't know what role the old monkey played.

The actual combat that followed was quite different from the previous life, and even the environment of the "Black Wind Mountain" dense forest map was slightly different from the previous life. These were all the result of Lu Yun's intervention in the world line changes.

Fortunately, this change is positive. Lu Yun had seen similar scenes several times in his previous life, but he was still shocked when he saw them again in this life.

If Lu Yun was like this, then Guo Fan and Jiaozi were even more so. Even though they had played the game before, the presentation of this video still made them yearn for it.

So the two of them immediately asked questions after watching the promotional video.

"Old Feng, why is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven stopping the Chosen One from killing Ling Xuzi? Does the Chosen One intend to fight the Great Sage Equaling Heaven at Black Wind Mountain?" Guo Fan asked curiously.

"And why didn't it appear when I played it before? Did they change the storyline?"

Dumpling immediately chimed in, "Yeah, it's exciting, but we definitely can't beat them. Just look at their equipment to see how big the gap is. The Monkey King's armor is so gorgeous, it's definitely max level."

Hearing the two ask this, Feng Ji quickly replied, "No, no, this is part of the performance. It's about putting something exciting at the beginning to pique the curiosity of the audience and players and keep them engaged."

"Oh~"

The two directors nodded.

They're too good at using misleading announcements.

However, this trailer isn't entirely a deceptive preview, since they've actually played the game and it's definitely at that level.

As for the montages of the other levels, they hadn't played them because the actual levels weren't finished yet, but they had seen the demos and they were indeed at that level.

It uses very few dramatic techniques and is a very honest and informative promotional video.

Lu Yun knew that the Chosen One would fight the Monkey King, but not in the way shown in the promotional video.

According to his assessment, if the first promotional video in the previous life scored 90 points, the first promotional video in this life would score at least 93 points, showing a significant increase.

Therefore, this version of "Black Myth: Wukong" will definitely generate even more buzz.

However, Feng Ji wasn't very confident.

"Since you all say it's no problem, then I'll upload it to Bilibili. I'm setting it to go live at 10 AM on August 20th. I'll be grateful if it gets 1 million views."

"You're being too modest," Guo Fan said. "Although a million views for a single video on Bilibili is already impressive, the quality of your video is excellent. I feel that 500 million views is the minimum, and 1000 million is not a dream!"

Dumpling strongly agreed with this statement, nodding and saying, "That's right, I also think that 500 million views is the starting point, and the upper limit will not stop at 1000 million. After all, domestic players have been waiting for a decent domestic single-player game for too long, and the power they can unleash is still considerable."

Hearing the two directors, whose films had grossed over 60 billion yuan each, say this gave Feng Ji confidence, but he still turned his expectant gaze toward Lu Yun.

He needs more confidence.

Then not only him, but Guo Fan and Jiaozi also looked at Lu Yun.

Initially, they weren't very confident in their work, or perhaps they were initially confident but their confidence paled in comparison to Rowoon's.

After all, they felt that their movie should easily gross 1 billion or 2 billion, while Lu Yun was talking about starting at 5 billion.

If Lu Yun had just been a big mouth, that would have been one thing, but in the end, all his predictions came true.

That's something worth thinking about.

Therefore, Lu Yun's opinion is very important now.

Lu Yun asked, "Do you both guess 1000 million views?"

Guo Fan and Dumpling nodded.

Lu Yun nodded, "Then I'll also guess 1000 million views."

Hearing Lu Yun say this, Guo Fan, Jiaozi, and Feng Ji were all relieved.

But Lu Yun's next words startled them.

"However, I guess the video will get over 1000 million views within 24 hours of being released!"

"?!"
