This celebrity became even more popular after being exposed of having multiple girlfriends-Chapter 418 - 322

(The old condition relapsed... don’t book yet, update in forty minutes)

The show director clearly wasn’t the type to pay much attention to games.

However, several young people in the meeting room nodded in agreement.

"His game’s popularity has skyrocketed these past few days, it’s all over Bilibili."

"When I was on the subway, I checked Bilibili’s trending list, and it was all about his game."

The director was familiar with Bilibili programming.

Nowadays, everyone knows that the Spring Festival Gala is heading towards a slow death, and CCTV is looking for change, with a major focus on attracting young audiences.

So occasionally, he would log onto Bilibili, a platform with lots of young users, for inspiration and material.

Curious and skeptical, he pulled out his phone, opened Bilibili, and checked what all the hype was about.

And he found the hype to be quite significant indeed.

"Wu Mu’s new game is just too addictive, once you start, you can’t stop."

As soon as he opened Bilibili, his homepage recommended Wu Mu’s game livestream to him.

He rarely watched gaming content, yet still got this recommendation.

And the streamer, called Lao Fan, had a ridiculously high viewership of over 6 million, with at least 500,000 to 600,000 viewers watching.

This was extremely rare for a Bilibili livestream.

Lao Fan himself found it odd.

His backend stats showed over 6 million popularity and 570,000 concurrent viewers.

This was already the highest for a non-official livestream on Bilibili.

Just over six months ago, he was a small streamer with just a few tens of thousands of followers; getting over a thousand viewers was a big deal.

Since the Mingyu Game show featured Wu Mu, things began to change gradually.

Because he really liked Wu Mu, a celebrity who could make games, he would often share news about Wu Mu during his breaks.

He then discovered that broadcasting Wu Mu’s news and shows often garnered more viewers than his gaming streams.

Especially during trending moments, he frequently topped the trending lists.

Over the past six months, he inexplicably became a top game streamer on Bilibili.

He glanced at the chat comments:

"What’s Wu Mu? Call him Wu Dog!"

"Calling him Wu Mu, are you Wu Dog’s fan? Unsubscribing from this boring streamer."

"Haha, don’t bother Lao Fan, we can call Wu Dog whatever we want, like he’d dare to comment on it during a livestream."

Everyone kept calling him Wu Dog, but as soon as his new work was released, they all flocked to watch it.

Forget Wu Mu himself, even I, a streamer who often covers him, am being pushed into the top ranks by you "haters."

Lao Fan silently mused to himself, choosing not to respond, and instead shared his thoughts, "I think the gameplay mechanics have huge potential, this random reward plus mowing down monsters format could be huge. Those of you making games might want to try this direction."

"Of course, I probably don’t need to say anything because many people should have already thought of it, given that he sold 6.2 million copies in just one day, everyone in the gaming industry can see it."

6.2 million copies?

The show director looked surprised, "His game sold that much?"

The program planner who first suggested it was knowledgeable, "Yes, though he hasn’t disclosed the total sales, according to third-party estimates, it’s at least 6.2 million copies, with nearly 3 million pre-sold, meaning over 3 million sold in under two days after launch."

"How much is each copy?" The director couldn’t help but ask.

"28 for pre-sale, 35 for the official version."

28 for 3 million copies is over 84 million, 35 for the official version is over 110 million.

Altogether, close to 200 million...!?

This is too absurd...

The director quietly exited the livestream, checking the Bilibili trending list.

And just as his team said, it was true.

In the top 20 trending, eight or nine were related to Wu Mu’s game.

The main topics were game live streams, game content reviews, and edited overseas livestream reactions.

The director clicked on the third trending video: [A Celebrity’s Game Becomes the Biggest Cultural Export Surprise This Year?]

It featured edited and translated footage of overseas streamers.

Once it loaded, the chat was already flooded with comments.

"From the title alone, you know it’s gotta be Wu Dog’s game, who else but Wu Dog would be slacking off doing games instead of being a celebrity."

"Here we go, my favorite ’shock to foreign friends’ segment!"

"Wu Dog’s game is genuinely hot, not just Bilibili, but also Douyin and Douyu are full of it. Every game streaming room I visit, the chat is always suggesting playing Vampire Survivor."

The overall chat vibe was positive, though there were many who didn’t like it.

"Isn’t the title a bit exaggerated? I know Wu Dog’s game sold well, but how does that relate to cultural export?"

"Right, I know there are many foreign streamers playing it on YouTube, but this game is about vampires and demons, without any Hua Country elements. How is that cultural export?" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com

These people felt that the game wouldn’t provide any new insights into Hua Country, acknowledging its popularity but disputing its claim to cultural export.
