Chapter 1678 Tragic Spring Festival movie (2)
The popularity of "The Witcher World: The Witcher Begins" goes beyond that.
As many people thought, due to the popularity of "The Witcher", the box office of the entire Spring Festival movie dropped a lot.
Almost only about half of 2020.
The bosses looked sad.
After working hard all year, I wanted to make some money during the Spring Festival.
In the end, I didn't expect that I met Cheng Yaojin from "The Witcher" and came out halfway.
Directly disrupt their plans.
But they don't dare to take revenge on "The Witcher".
Not to mention the huge Xingchen Group, the identity of Director Zhang is enough to make them fearful.
In fact, if the quality of their own movies is good enough, they will not lose money even if they are impacted by "The Witcher".
If Detective 3 had not been supported by the popularity accumulated from the previous two films, I am afraid that the cumulative box office would have dropped significantly.
On the contrary, there was a movie that came first, and within a few days, it broke the leading position of Detective 3 in one fell swoop.
The appearance of this movie also proves one thing.
As long as your work is good enough and attractive enough, the audience will definitely pay for it.
The audience is not stupid, even if they have been deceived before, they go to the cinema to watch it.
I won’t watch it again from now on.
There are many movies that can attract viewers to watch the movie a second time, a third time, or even watch it multiple times.
This is the case with Director Zhang's new movie "The Witcher".
After many people read it, they felt it was not satisfying and started watching it again from the beginning.
For other movies, you may want to consider second or third viewing.
But for the second and third brushes of "The Witcher", there is no need to consider it at all.
Because "The Witcher" is free for global audiences, as long as mobile phone users have Star Assistant, they can watch it anytime and anywhere.
This also creates the terrifying cumulative number of plays of "The Witcher".
In less than ten days, the cumulative number of views exceeded 20 billion.
The number of real movie-watching users has reached 2.5 billion.
These basically got the number of viewings of "The Witcher" in one day.
The success of "The Witcher" is not only reflected in the cumulative number of plays, but also drove a large number of users to flock to Xingchen Video.
At the same time, because Xingchen Video has the most complete copyrights, the number of users reached 100 million in just ten days.
In less than two months, Xingchen Video successfully became the video platform with the largest number of paying users on the Huaxia Video Platform.
And this data is still rising.
Many viewers, after watching the movie for the second or third time, start looking for Easter eggs in the movie.
Some netizens are even looking for Easter eggs in the game.
In the movie "The Witcher", the scenes presented in it can all be found in the virtual game "The Witcher World".
Moreover, the movie "The Witcher" was originally shot about the world background of "The Witcher World", so it is natural to find the same scenes.
After many players discover some interesting easter eggs, they will announce them.
After the official discovered this move of the players, "The Witcher World" directly launched a linkage event with the movie, which just happened to allow many players to truly understand the game "The Witcher World".
As the first virtual game, "Wizard World" still has the highest number of active users, far higher than several other virtual games.
Looking for Easter eggs in movies and looking for Easter eggs in games form a perfect linkage.
Five days after the release of "The Witcher World: The Witcher Begins", Xingchen Video suddenly released another big move.
Users who own a virtual helmet can use the virtual helmet to watch holographic movies.
This way of viewing is different from the holographic projection mode that comes with the Xingchen mobile phone.
Using a virtual helmet to watch a holographic movie, the audience can freely choose different perspectives.
You can choose the protagonist as your viewing angle, you can also choose the supporting role as your viewing angle, or you can even choose one of the passers-by.
In this viewing mode, the audience seems to be possessed by a certain character and watch the entire movie from their perspective.
Unlike playing virtual games, players can only choose possessed characters but cannot control them.
It is equivalent to the audience re-traveling what they have experienced.
As soon as this feature came out, it immediately attracted a lot of attention and heated discussion.
"That's great. We have long proposed that the government can use virtual helmets to watch holographic movies. I didn't expect that this function would be implemented so quickly.
As expected of Xingchen Group, it develops new features very quickly."
"It's great to be able to possess a certain character. I can't wait to experience it."
“Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuah, without a Xingchen mobile phone, I can only play "The Witcher" a few times with an ordinary mobile phone, and now I can finally experience it with a virtual helmet.
I hope it can bring a different feeling.”
"To possess a certain character? To become one of them? I don't know if I can control them."
"Didn't you read the instructions? We can only choose the characters to possess, but we can't control their bodies.
If you can control it, you might as well play in the game world."
"This is different. Although you can find the same scenes in the game world, you can only come into contact with them as an outsider.
Here, it's different.
If I could control the character I possessed, would that change the plot?"
Because the Xingchen mobile phone was released relatively late, even though the Xingchen Group continued to work overtime, the actual sales volume was relatively limited.
After more than a year of development, virtual helmets already have a certain number.
Even people without virtual helmets can still watch movies in the virtual game experience center.
Although the number of virtual helmets has not reached the level where everyone has one, virtual game experience centers have opened all over the world.
Virtual game experience centers can be found in slightly larger cities.
If you want to experience a unique movie, the virtual game experience center is undoubtedly the best choice.
After the update, many viewers couldn't wait to put on virtual helmets and start accessing Star Video in the virtual space.
The character that most people choose to possess is the protagonist, either the male protagonist or the female protagonist.
Only a handful of people chose important supporting roles.
On the opening day, the number of playbacks of "The Witcher" that had originally slowed down instantly increased a lot.
This is also one of the important reasons why the cumulative number of plays of "The Witcher" has reached 20 billion so quickly.
In fact, most viewers have already watched "The Witcher", but after this new feature was launched, they chose to watch it immediately.
After selecting the possessed character, they entered a new viewing mode.
Chapter completed!
