Chapter 418: Chapter 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 gas.
However, several young people in the eting room nodded in agreent.
“His ga’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 ga.”
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 ga is just too addictive, once you start, you can’t stop.”
As soon as he opened Bilibili, his hopage recomnded Wu Mu’s ga livestream to him.
He rarely watched gaming content, yet still got this recomndation.
And the strear, called Lao Fan, had a ridiculously high viewership of over 6 million, with at least 500,000 to 600,000 viewers watching.
This was extrely 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 strear with just a few tens of thousands of followers; getting over a thousand viewers was a big deal.
Since the Mingyu Ga show featured Wu Mu, things began to change gradually.
Because he really liked Wu Mu, a celebrity who could make gas, 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 monts, he frequently topped the trending lists.
Over the past six months, he inexplicably beca a top ga strear on Bilibili.
He glanced at the chat comnts:
“What’s Wu Mu? Call him Wu Dog!”
“Calling him Wu Mu, are you Wu Dog’s fan? Unsubscribing from this boring strear.”
“Haha, don’t bother Lao Fan, we can call Wu Dog whatever we want, like he’d dare to comnt 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 strear 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 gaplay chanics have huge potential, this random reward plus mowing down monsters format could be huge. Those of you making gas 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 ga 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, aning 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 ga.
The main topics were ga live streams, ga content reviews, and edited overseas livestream reactions.
The director clicked on the third trending video: [A Celebrity’s Ga Becos the Biggest Cultural Export Surprise This Year?]
It featured edited and translated footage of overseas strears.
Once it loaded, the chat was already flooded with comnts.
“From the title alone, you know it’s gotta be Wu Dog’s ga, who else but Wu Dog would be slacking off doing gas instead of being a celebrity.”
“Here we go, my favorite ‘shock to foreign friends’ segnt!”
“Wu Dog’s ga is genuinely hot, not just Bilibili, but also Douyin and Douyu are full of it. Every ga 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 ga sold well, but how does that relate to cultural export?”
“Right, I know there are many foreign strears playing it on YouTube, but this ga is about vampires and demons, without any Hua Country elents. How is that cultural export?”
These people felt that the ga wouldn’t provide any new insights into Hua Country, acknowledging its popularity but disputing its claim to cultural export.
