Pampered by the School Bully-Chapter 1069 - 1056: The Game Takes the Internet by Storm! (Part 1)
In the following days, Pu Sangzhi directly stayed in Huo Feng’s hotel room.
Every day, Huo Feng would leave with the crew at precisely seven-thirty in the morning, and his return time was unpredictable.
Sometimes it was at night, sometimes in the afternoon, sometimes at noon...
As soon as his scenes were done, he would immediately return to the hotel.
During these days, Pu Sangzhi was managing the studio’s public account, and Huo Feng’s Douyin account. Replacing Huo Feng, she worked with Yan Siyuan to strategize for the studio.
From the first day of its launch, the game steadily gained popularity.
Initially, it was Huo Feng’s Douyin and advertisements that brought players and traffic to the game.
After a few days, all the metrics grew rapidly, and the game began to attract traffic on its own.
At first, Yan Siyuan and Pu Sangzhi had to spend their own money to hire studios to write soft articles, publishing them on Toutiao, WeChat, QQ highlights, Baidu News, and other platforms.
Lately, as the game started attracting fans on its own, and developed inherent traffic.
Some studios, wanting to ride the wave of its popularity, also started trying out the game and spontaneously wrote PR articles for it.
Things like...
[Discussing the Divine Level of ’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’]
[’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’, Experience the Feeling of Pursuing Jian Zhishu]
[’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’, the Game to Intelligently Pursue Your Dream Guy or Girl]
[After ’Love and Producer’, ’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’ Fires Up the Hearts of Young Men and Women]...
Various styles of highly praised soft articles appeared, with over a hundred such pieces in just these few days!
Toutiao, QQ highlights, Baidu, WeChat...
Various news apps featured different styles of articles praising ’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’!
Some were paid pieces by Yan Siyuan and Pu Sangzhi.
Some were spontaneous soft articles by studios trying to catch the traffic.
In short, in these days since the game’s release, its popularity has been rising day by day!
Yan Siyuan has already bought 10 additional servers, spending hundreds of thousands.
However, in just a few days, the game has brought in over half a million in revenue for the studio!
In the gaming world, there’s never a shortage of wealthy players.
According to Yan Siyuan’s backend data, the most lavish spender in the game has already spent over sixty thousand in just four days!
The backend shows that this wealthy player has created several accounts, simultaneously pursuing four different personalities of goddesses!
And he has spent a lot on each of the four goddesses, continually topping up and gifting, even buying four Rename Cards to give each goddess a rather rustic name...
Rename Cards are expensive, costing 88 yuan each.
Primarily, we do not encourage players to change names, so the Rename Card is placed in the last slot of the inventory.
Also, when purchasing a Rename Card, the system prompts the player to confirm, and gently asks: [Can’t we not change the name? You don’t like my original name?]
Even with so many prompts, wealthy players can’t be deterred from wanting to change the name!
Originally, the game’s cool male god was named ’Fu Liang’.
But led by some players, many followed suit and changed their names to ’Jian Zhishu’, then setting their character names as ’Yuan Xiangqin’ to fulfill their fantasy of pursuing a cool male god on campus and being tutored by him!
In short, the game has developed rapidly in these days, advancing smoothly like wildfire!
Players have even spontaneously created a bar for ’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’!
Even, every character in ’Let’s Take the College Entrance Exam Together’ has a bar created for them!
For instance, the cool male god Fu Liang has a bar created by players called [Fuliang Bar].
In just a few days, the game’s explosive popularity surpassed the imaginations of Yan Siyuan, Pu Sangzhi, and Huo Feng!
On the afternoon of August 22nd, Huo Feng returned to the hotel early after finishing work.
At that time, Pu Sangzhi was drawing illustrations for in-game advertisements. Once she finished the artwork, Yan Siyuan would tweak the storyline slightly to integrate the advertisements directly into the game.
The studio had accepted two advertisements, both from large enterprises.
Yan Siyuan had discussed and negotiated with the companies several times, and in the end, each company offered 600,000 to purchase permanent advertisements!
Thus, apart from game revenue, the studio will receive an additional 1.2 million yuan in advertising fees.
Yan Siyuan plans to upgrade the servers tomorrow and release a new version, incorporating the advertisements into the game while also adding new tasks.
Therefore, tonight at 4 o’clock, the game will be shut down for one hour.
Huo Feng sat down next to Pu Sangzhi, listening to her rant about a series of official matters, it made his head spin a bit.
Pu Sangzhi continued painting while talking about business, her face full of seriousness, completely embodying a strong woman!
Once she finished discussing official matters, Huo Feng finally let out a breath, thinking he finally had a chance to speak.
So, Huo Feng said to Pu Sangzhi: "Wifey, you mean, as long as we integrate the advertisements, we can get the 1.2 million in advertising fees?"
Pu Sangzhi kept busy with her drawing, replying: "Yep. The other company has already prepaid 200,000. As soon as we integrate the ads, we’ll receive the remaining 40,000. Once we receive both advertising fees, the studio will officially enter a pure profit state."
Huo Feng nodded, "Hmm~ Wifey, in just a few days we’re about to fully break even. So you say, should we start, um hmm?"
When saying ’um hmm’, Huo Feng raised his eyebrows with a heavily suggestive expression.
Pu Sangzhi, without lifting her head, asked back: "What does ’um hmm’ mean?"
Huo Feng replied: "A reminder, two words."
Pu Sangzhi: "Say it."
Huo Feng turned his head, eyes filled with anticipation as he looked at Pu Sangzhi, "Splash out."
He really... desperately wants to spend money freely!
This past half year has been too frugal! Too poor!
However, Pu Sangzhi frowned as she listened, pouting and straightforwardly said: "No splurging. Save money to buy a house."
"Ah~~"
Huo Feng immediately felt deflated, weakly leaning his head on Pu Sangzhi’s shoulder, "Just splurge a little spare change~ Is a little spare change not okay~ Wifey~"
"Alright then."
Pu Sangzhi nodded, "Then just spend the last three digits of the bonus as spare change."
"Three-digit spare change!"
Huo Feng moaned miserably, "Can’t it be four-digit spare change... considering we’re earning six figures a day now..."
"Wrong."
Pu Sangzhi corrected him, "That’s before the bonus. After deducting the studio’s normal expenses, if everyone shares profits based on their investment ratio, you can only get 20%. Even if we earn a million, you can only get 200,000."
"200,000 is a lot too~ Wifey~"
Huo Feng was quite satisfied with this, "With 200,000, can’t we spend four-digit spare change? Ah!"
Pu Sangzhi felt like her ears might go deaf from Huo Feng’s noise, feeling utterly helpless towards him...
She could only sigh, "Then just spend 2000, that’ll be enough."
Huo Feng moaned with resentment: "Oh..."
Huo Feng: "Wifey..."
Pu Sangzhi handed the phone to Huo Feng, "Since you have so much time, discuss with Yan Siyuan if there’s any event to organize in the game? And has the game’s theme song been written? It would be best to continue introducing new things while the game is still hot. Otherwise, it will cool down quickly."
Huo Feng realized...
Anything in Pu Sangzhi’s hands becomes extremely challenging!
Her overly serious attitude made studying, working, acting... everything seem incredibly stressful!
But Huo Feng had to admit, she’s excellent! Consistently excellent! Excellent in a way he could never surpass!
"I know there’s a lot of stuff to do with the game..."
Huo Feng hugged Pu Sangzhi’s slender waist, resting his chin on her shoulder and said, "Then let me talk to you about something else."
Pu Sangzhi: "Hmm."
Huo Feng said, "I was thinking, while I’m still with the crew, taking advantage of filming. Film a girl version promotional video, what do you think?"
Pu Sangzhi replied: "Sure. Go ahead and do it."
Huo Feng said, "Great. The day after tomorrow afternoon, come to the crew with me, and we’ll film it together!"
Finally, Pu Sangzhi paused her drawing, turning around, her dark eyes tightly locking onto him: "What?"
Huo Feng said, "You, with me. Shoot a scene where you’re a top student, and I’m a lousy student, then I fall for you at first sight, aiming for Tsinghua because of you."
Pu Sangzhi shook her head, "No."
Huo Feng: "It’s gotta be you."
Pu Sangzhi refused: "Just find one of your crew actresses to shoot it."
Huo Feng said, "Don’t you realize, this is our story?!"
Pu Sangzhi replied: "So what?"
Huo Feng hugged her tighter, "So it has to be you! Only you!"
Pu Sangzhi: "No!"
Huo Feng: "Objection is invalid! Objection is for dogs! Objection eats poop!"
Pu Sangzhi got so angry she slapped him...
