This star is going to the moon

Chapter 331, "Black Myth: Wukong," has released its first gameplay trailer, causing a surge in popularity!
Thursday, August 20th, a peaceful day, nothing important happened.

However, at 10 a.m. Beijing time, a new account on Bilibili named "Black Myth Wukong" posted a 13-minute video.

At first, no one paid attention, until a handsome guy who was slacking off at work clicked on it out of curiosity.

"Let me see what's going on..."

one minute later

"Fuck!!"

The handsome guy immediately gave it a three-click like, then took out his phone, opened Bilibili, found the video, and frantically forwarded it to all the groups he was in.

At first, it was fine, but after opening a few more groups, he found that someone had already forwarded it.

Saturation forwarding!
His exclamation drew the attention of everyone in the office, who all turned to look at him curiously.

what happened?

His friend next to him, being in a convenient position, turned around and saw the video playing on his computer.

After watching for a few seconds, there was another sound...

"Fuck!"

That shout immediately brought the boss over.

When the young man realized that his boss was standing behind him, he hurriedly tried to turn off the video, but the boss grabbed his hand and said, "Don't turn it off, let me see if this is another game trailer scam!"

The boss had just finished speaking when a comment appeared on the screen.

This is definitely not a game trailer trick; it's ten minutes of actual gameplay!

[Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!]

[This is amazing! Is this another browser game ad?]

[Black Myth: Wukong? Another piece of trashy game that's just piggybacking on my Monkey King's popularity?]

Is this just another repackaged version of "Monkey King: Hero Is Back" designed to scam money again?

[How could that be? Didn't you see the company at the beginning? It's Game Science!]

I know, you used to work in mobile games!

[Holy crap, that trailer was definitely a lie!]

The owner of this company is "Yuka," the one who made "Dou Zhan Shen." He started this company after leaving Tencent.

[Holy crap, no wonder he said "After the white bones, we retrace the Journey to the West" at the end, so it was him!]

[To be honest, this video really got me fired up! My long-dormant passion for domestically produced AAA single-player games has been rekindled!]

Although I don't know this person you're talking about, they sound so impressive, so this really isn't just a teaser?

[No, bro! This is actual gameplay footage!]

[Awesome!!!]

The video "Black Myth Wukong" has seen a surge in various metrics since it was uploaded, and it reached the top of Bilibili's trending list in just over an hour!

It topped the Bilibili video charts for today in less than two hours!
The video has been viewed over 100 million times in just two hours!
At Youke Company, Feng Ji stared blankly at the 100 million views.

He had been cautiously hoping for 100 million views, but he actually reached and surpassed that in just two hours!

"Old Feng, we did it!"

"I came out of Tengzi's place with Feng Ji," said the old friend happily.

"Done?"

Feng Ji looked at all the employees sitting around him; they were all looking at him excitedly!
Just moments before, they were working hard to share the video and get everyone they knew to support the promotional video's viewership.

At this moment, they had fully witnessed the enthusiasm of domestic single-player gamers!
So, does that mean their game really has potential?
而冯冀的心也热切起来了。    既然100万播放量的记录这么快就达成了，那郭导和饺子导演说的500万、1000万播放量，甚至是路总说的24小时1000万播放量是不是也能达成？
Even Guo Fan and Jiaozi were paying close attention to this, because the 500 million and 1000 million views they mentioned were measured in "months".

As a result, Lu Yun directly said, "It broke 1000 million views in 24 hours," which is indeed a bit scary.

However, because of Lu Yun's outstanding previous record, they had to pay attention to him.

They also agreed that in order to maintain the "purity" of the data, they would not help with promotion in the early stages, but would wait until the number of views exceeded 500 million or 1000 million and the site became a hit before adding to the success.

Therefore, Guo Fan and Jiaozi were paying close attention throughout the entire process.

On the contrary, Lu Yun was much more relaxed.

He didn't pay much attention to this matter; instead, he was doing his final space training.

This time, a professional astronaut served as the captain on his space mission, and he's already thinking about being the captain himself on his next space mission.

After all, he had promised An Fangfei that the two families would go on a space trip together.

That means there are six people in total, including him, An Fangfei, and their parents, which doesn't leave enough space for a dedicated captain's position.

Therefore, he has to do it himself.

As "Black Myth: Wukong" climbed to the top of Bilibili's trending list, those content creators who had been observing, seeing fan messages, or getting the news on their WeChat Moments jumped in.

The first to arrive was naturally a content creator specializing in single-player games.

[Just finished working and found my WeChat Moments flooded with posts about this. After looking through them, I'm amazed!!!]

[Wow! This is the kind of great Chinese single-player game I've always wanted to play! I'll definitely play it when it comes out!]

[After the White Bone Demon's passing, I retraced my journey to the West, and I cried!!!]

It seems Mao Xingyun's wish is about to come true, that's wonderful!

[It gave me goosebumps, it was absolutely amazing!]

[Like the Monkey King trapped under the Five Finger Mountain, he only peeked out, yet caused a monstrous storm!]

[New creative material for pop-up ads! (laughing and crying emoji)]

I never imagined I'd cry while watching a game trailer. If you dare release it, I'll buy it on all platforms!

[I played Tsushima the other day, and I said that China only makes mobile games because they're quick money, and nobody wants to make AAA games because they're too easy to lose money on... I hope this game will prove me wrong! I'm so moved, damn it, we can finally have our own AAA masterpiece!]

As time went by... well, not much time passed, but a few hours later, the number of views for "Black Myth: Wukong" rose to 200 million, 300 million, and 400 million!
Soaring prices!

Soaring!

Skyrocketing!

As more and more content creators join, their channels are no longer limited to games, but also include crafts, film and television, music, digital products, and even current affairs content creators.

Related news has also begun to appear on other platforms, and more and more people are discussing "Black Myth: Wukong".

The influence of "Black Myth: Wukong" has completely broken out of its niche!
It was released at 10 a.m. on August 20th, and by 8 a.m. the next day, it had reached 10 million views!
Meanwhile, the number of followers on Bilibili account "Black Myth Wukong" also reached 100 million!
However, just as "Black Myth: Wukong" was dominating Weibo's trending topics, reviews for the movie "The Eight Hundred," which was released today, also came out.

As the hub for entertainment news, Weibo naturally wouldn't miss the opportunity to capitalize on the popularity of "The Eight Hundred," and it quickly became a trending topic.

[Viewer reviews of the film "The Eight Hundred" are mixed!]

Filmmakers praise "The Eight Hundred" as being exceptionally well-made!

This lousy movie is an insult to intelligence. What is this nonsense? It has no respect for historical facts whatsoever; it just crams in made-up stuff.

[Film is a work of art, not a documentary. Trying to find historical fact in it is delusional. Just focus on the powerful emotional resonance it evokes!]

[What kind of resonance is this? I can't relate to it at all. Why are all these directors so biased, always trying to whitewash the KMT?]

[You simply don't understand art. The eyes of the masses are discerning. "The Eight Hundred" grossed 2 million yuan in just a few days of previews, and today's box office will easily surpass 1 million yuan. It is now predicted that the total box office will reach 30 billion yuan. This is the choice of the people!]

[Damn it, ordinary people just watch the show and can't distinguish the hidden agendas, which allows those lousy directors to succeed time and time again...]
