Chapter 222 went viral upon release!! Reaching number one! Nominated for a film festival! (Please subscribe!)
The upcoming open beta of the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" immediately sparked discussions among many netizens.

It's worth noting that three or four months ago, when this TV series was released, it was a household name.

Many people are looking forward to this game.

In particular, viewers want to change the plot of the TV series.

However, some fans are worried that this game is too expensive.

After all, research and development and manufacturing costs are not cheap.

"If this 'Chinese Paladin' game costs less than 399, I'll buy it without hesitation."

"Me too. As long as it's not too expensive, I can accept anything that costs one or two hundred."

"Actually, 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' isn't a AAA production, so it should be alright."

"Who knows? Maybe Director Song will take advantage of the TV series' popularity to make a quick buck."

"If the Legend of Sword and Fairy is less than 100 yuan, I'd be happy to buy it even if I had to eat dirt."

"How could it be 100 yuan? You're overthinking it, buddy. It should be at least 200 yuan or more."

Just when everyone was curious, the official website of Guoteng Media's "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" game released the latest news.

Three days later, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" will begin a new journey. For just ten yuan, you can get an official activation code.

This price stunned all netizens.

Domestic media outlets have invested heavily in having game development teams complete a Legend of Sword and Fairy game in three months, which in itself represents a significant financial expenditure.

In addition, the TV series "Chinese Paladin" is still very popular.

This is the perfect time to launch the game.

Even if the game costs 100 yuan, fans and netizens still think it's worth it.

However, the official price was announced as ten yuan.

It was truly unexpected.

"My goodness, this is truly a gem of a product!"

"I feel that Director Song made this game purely to let us try different endings, and it wasn't for making money at all."

"Hahaha, didn't he say it before? It was to give back to his fans. My goodness, that 10 yuan was well spent."

"If you continue to support his movies and TV series, maybe he'll be able to release some good games too?"

"To be honest, ten yuan is a really good price. These days, breakfast costs ten yuan."

"Yeah, now a cup of milk tea costs 20 yuan, only Mixue Ice Cream is still staying true to its original aspirations."

"If they can't even deliver the money for half a cup of milk tea, then that's really unacceptable."

The fact that "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was only released with a pre-sale price of ten yuan left other game developers speechless.

Isn't this a classic case of Gresham's Law (bad money drives out good)?!
Good things are discarded by people, while bad things flood the market!
There's no reason why games should get cheaper the more they're sold.

Faced with this fire sale, several game developers couldn't sit still any longer.

Suddenly, the number of online trolls also increased.

"Forget it, what kind of game can you play for 10 yuan? Just fool yourself, don't fool your buddies."

"Hahaha, you guys really play games that cost 10 yuan? I've spent 1 yuan on game cards for Fantasy Westward Journey."

"That's hilarious! You think you can make a good game in three months? Dude, do you really believe that?"

"Anyway, I'm not buying it."

Meanwhile, some game groups are also posting tasks.

Group Admin: [You guys are saying the following in the comments sections right now: You absolutely have to support "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", 10 yuan is a steal, If you can't even afford 10 yuan, what kind of game are you playing?!, If you don't buy it, you're not a true fan of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!]

The group members all chimed in with agreement.

They used the guise of supporting "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to engage in deceptive praise.

However, there are always some upright people in the gaming group.

Xiaobai is one of them.

He initially joined this gaming group so that everyone could discuss AAA games together.

And we look forward to even more fun games.

But these people have now forgotten their original intentions.

They actually did such a despicable and shameless thing in order to attack the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Xiaobai posted a screenshot of this group chat directly online.

Immediately, many fans and netizens began to bombard this game group.

This forced the game group owner to disband the group.

He even released a video to apologize.

He expressed his disapproval of the low price of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy," arguing that he had previously purchased numerous games costing hundreds of dollars, and that this was clearly disrupting the game market.

However, he has now realized his mistake and apologized to the official team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and all netizens.

However, the video did not earn the forgiveness of netizens.

The incident escalated, infuriating many netizens who were simply watching the drama unfold.

Wouldn't it be better for some gamers if the game price were lower?

But now some people don't want to do it this way, which has caused netizens to have a rebellious mentality.

"Good grief, you guys want to keep game prices high, huh?"

"Alright, then let's buy as much of this game as possible and kill those high-priced game developers!!"

"Yes! Even though I don't have time to play right now, I'll buy it just to vent my anger!"

"Yes, I'll buy it too. I was thinking that it was only 10 yuan and I could buy it anytime, but now it's different. I have to buy it now, just to slap those other manufacturers in the face."

Soon, the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was officially released.

Downloads surged starting at 12 noon that day.

It had already surpassed 500,000 downloads in just two hours.

In a short time, many newly registered users flooded into the servers of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

There were even instances of lag.

Many people went to Song Hao's Weibo comment section and shouted their support.

"Director Song, your server is lagging a bit! Please optimize it quickly."

"I thought everyone would be at work during the day and no one would be playing this game, so why are there so many people here?"

"Oh my god, I even bought this game during my afternoon break, planning to play it, but I didn't expect that all the servers would be showing red indicators."

"Hahahaha, luckily my boss's computer is powerful. He's away on a business trip these past two days, so it's just me and my boss's wife. I'll play with his for a bit."

"Hey upstairs, wanna play with what the boss has to do? The computer or the boss's wife?"

Seeing that some people had even bought multiple activation codes, Song Hao also posted: "Please buy activation codes rationally. One code per person, no need to buy too many."

As a result, netizens started making fun of it.

"Don't worry about how many I buy, I'm rich."

“You only charge 10 yuan for each activation code. I’ll buy three, use one, and give the other two to my roommates. That’s a great deal.”

"Hahaha, then your roommates will have to call you godfather."

"Wow, I prepared five activation codes for my roommates, and they prepared them for us too."

"Just buy a few more activation codes, and try not to let Director Song lose money."

“Those game developers all price their games at several hundred dollars, which is ridiculously expensive. We need to let them know that it’s not that there aren’t enough game players in China, but that their prices are too high and their storylines are unoriginal.”

"Yeah, the high price is understandable because of the high production cost of the game. But at least the story should be good. Look at 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy,' it's only 10 yuan and it has such a conscientious production. I don't even know what to say to it." "Even if 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy' is not fun, I would think it's my computer's problem, not the game itself."

On its first day of release, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" surpassed two million downloads.

This is absolutely a historic breakthrough for a film and television company.

Meanwhile, the game development team from the domestic media company couldn't help but feel fortunate.

Because if the game doesn't sell well, their game development team might have to disband.

However, judging from the current situation, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" has already exceeded two million downloads on its first day.

This is definitely the phenomenon of a blockbuster game!
Song Hao also instructed the game development team to urgently maintain and optimize the servers to ensure that every player has a satisfactory experience.

The very next day, the game's downloads had already surpassed six million.

The number of online users has also reached two million.

Such a high online player rate directly propelled "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" to a meteoric rise on the Chinese game charts.

It ranked directly in the top three of the monthly game sales chart.

Many netizens also entered the game immediately for an immersive experience.

"To be honest, this game is so much fun. I originally wanted to change the ending, but I didn't expect it to feel like I was experiencing a chivalrous story myself."

"I think so too. Although it's not a AAA production, the game's storyline is very touching, and the plot is also very good."

"Damn it, I didn't have any secret manuals or walkthroughs. It took me all night just to clear the Demon Locking Tower. I never expected that the result would be that my beloved Yue Ru was crushed to death by the Dragon Severing Stone. I thought I could change the ending, but I didn't expect that Yue Ru would still die. I cried my heart out on the keyboard. What does it mean to say that even the longest love has an end, but this hatred will last forever?"

"I'm going to spoil the plot. After Yue Ru died in the Demon-Sealing Tower, her soul appeared in Xiao Li Zi's dream to say goodbye. The Holy Maiden told Xiao Li Zi that he needed to find 36 puppet worms to keep Yue Ru 'immortal,' which meant that her soul was destroyed but her body was immortal. Later in the ending animation, Ling'er and the Water Demon Beast perished together, their bodies destroyed, but their souls remained. So the Holy Maiden merged Ling'er's soul with Yue Ru's body, which led to the scene in the ending animation: 'In the depths of the snow, the beloved returns home, two people under an umbrella, Yue Ru remembers Yue Ru.'"

"Oh my god, there are so many hidden Easter eggs in the game! I'm so excited I could cry."

"I still remember a line from Zhao Ling'er: 'Since there's no turning back, why not forget? Since we're not destined to be together, why make vows? Today's events are like water without a trace. Tomorrow, we'll be strangers.' When I saw this line last night, I thought of my ex-girlfriend."

"This is truly the best RPG I've ever played; it feels like I've entered a real world of immortals and heroes."

For a time, netizens gave "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" all positive reviews.

The game's rating on the charts has reached 9.8.

So much so that almost everyone in the male dormitories of the university was playing this game.

This has led to some girlfriends of these guys not understanding.

"Why are you playing games again?"

"I'm playing 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy,' the TV series we watched together before. Now it's made into a game," Luo Hao explained earnestly.

He knew his girlfriend was very jealous, and yesterday he was so engrossed in playing games that he forgot to message her.

Therefore, a proper explanation is necessary.

When Luo Hao's girlfriend, Liu Yunting, learned about this, she frowned and looked at the computer next to her, asking, "So you brought this computer with you on our date today?"

"I wanted you to try it out. Come on, play it." Luo Hao immediately opened the interface of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

At first, Luo Hao's girlfriend, Liu Yunting, was a little disgusted: "I'm not going to play your game. Isn't King of Glory more fun?"

"This is much more fun than King of Glory. In King of Glory, you have bad teammates, but not in this game. You're the main character the whole time," Luo Hao continued to persuade him.

Having no other choice, Liu Yunting finally agreed.

After playing for a while, she felt somewhat speechless.

Isn't this just constantly clicking the mouse and making the protagonist keep having dialogues?

what can we play for fun?

Besides, TV dramas are TV dramas and games are games; how can they be confused?

However, as the plot progressed, Liu Yunting patiently read through all the dialogues and story content and discovered that the game was almost identical to the one in the TV series.

However, as the protagonist, you can choose different ways to handle things.

Liu Yunting immediately became interested.

As a result, during the three hours of their date, she sat motionless in front of the computer, intently playing the game.

Luo Hao, standing to the side, was instructing him.

Just before class was about to start that evening, Liu Yunting "confiscated" Luo Hao's computer.

"Go to class, I'll wait for you here." Liu Yunting waved and urged Luo Hao to leave.

Luo Hao was somewhat surprised. He had originally planned to bring his computer to the open math class, but his girlfriend had kidnapped him.

Before leaving, he joked, "See, I told you, this game is extremely fun."

"Shut up and get out of here."

This game isn't just popular with boys; as word spreads, girls, whether they've watched the show or not, have also joined in.

The number of downloads has reached over seven million.

It can only be described as insane.

Within a week, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" had already climbed to the top of the monthly game download chart.

Even internet cafes, which have always been dominated by League of Legends, are now starting to diversify.

More and more people are playing the game "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" in internet cafes.

This has caused some panic in League of Legends.

The company headquarters discovered a significant decrease in online users on Huaxia, and upon inquiry, learned that a new game had been released.

This game is related to a TV series.

With no other option, the official League of Legends team immediately implemented some promotional measures.

[League of Legends skins 70% off! Limited time offer!!]

[Receive Blue Essence upon logging in!]

Despite their stinginess, the official team still believes that this kind of event can attract veteran players back.

However, netizens strongly criticized it.

"Damn it, League of Legends really thinks we can't survive without playing their game."

"Even if the skins were given away for free, I wouldn't play anymore, even if they were 30% off."

"The game environment is so bad, what's the point of playing it? I might as well play 'The Legend of Sword and Fairy'."

"By the way, guys, how do you speedrun the Water Demon Beast?"

Do you guys have any other tips or walkthroughs?

Thanks to the promotion of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the number of daily online users stabilized at around five million in less than half a month.

And it's still rising.

In just half a month, they not only successfully recouped the cost of producing "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", but also made a considerable profit.

In response to the hard work of the game development team, Song Hao also adopted a profit-sharing mechanism.

This made these employees even more determined to stay with Guoteng Media.

Meanwhile, the Berlin Film Festival has opened!

Song Hao originally thought that none of his films would be nominated for the Berlin Film Festival this year.

After all, neither "Infernal Affairs" nor "Wolf Warrior" really suited their aesthetic tastes.

To Song Hao's surprise, the Berlin Film Festival organizing committee included "The Wandering Earth" in the main competition.

Moreover, the chairman of the organizing committee personally called Song Hao to invite him to the Berlin Film Festival.

All signs indicate that Song Hao's "The Wandering Earth" is very likely to win an award at the Berlin Film Festival!
