Why didn't the original god bring out the Black Death?

Worried about causing regional darkness.

The Black Death, also known as the plague, first attacked Britain in 1348, and then lasted intermittently for more than 300 years. Nearly13 of the population in Britain died of the plague.

By 1665, the plague was raging all over Europe, almost crazy. In London alone, more than 60,000 to 70,000 people died. 1665 In just three months from June to August, the population of London decreased by one tenth. By August of 1665, 2,000 people died every week, compared with 8,000 in September. The plague spread from London, the British royal family fled London, and the rich people in the city also fled with their families. Cambridge residents used wagons to load their luggage and evacuated to the countryside. More than 65,438+0,000 houses in London have been abandoned, some doors and windows have been nailed with pine boards, and all patients' houses have been marked with red chalk.

After the public beta, Genshin Impact was even called "dark arrival" by some people. But with the development of this year, the word "dark arrival" was offensive at first, but it was played by players who like Genshin Impact, because now they can speak with their grades. In addition to various awards, Genshin Impact's name jumped to the page in the list of national key cultural export enterprises and key projects published by the state in July 20265438.

What did Genshin Impact, who just turned one year old, do from darkness arrival to national recognition? Looking back on the past year, the game daily will make a comeback for everyone.

High investment creates excellent game quality. Genshin Impact not only conquered the players, but also became the new favorite of the science and technology circle.

The most fundamental thing that attracts players is the design of the game itself. Genshin Impact is an original and innovative IP without any blessing, and it needs special content to become famous. However, Genshin Impact adopted a non-mainstream but direct method at that time-increasing the cost of the game.

This is a very risky choice. If you succeed, you will be rewarded, but if you fail, you may face an abyss. In the early days of Genshin Impact, there were always rumors that Mihayou invested 1 billion dollars for development, which was a huge gamble for Mihayou at that time. Cai Haoyu, CEO of Michael Tour, not only confirmed the news in a speech, but also said that it not only cost 654.38 billion US dollars, but also may cost 200 million US dollars every year after going online, and the development cost in the past three years was higher.

With the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, an extremely free and open world has been formed in Genshin Impact, with seamless maps, changing lighting effects and weather at any time, and a high degree of freedom in exploration ... and the details have also been done. Stepping on the sand will leave footprints, clothes will get wet after coming out of the water, visibility will be reduced in rainy days, and every NPC will have various reactions. ...

In addition to high quality and details, Genshin Impact's seven elements in gameplay have increased the possibility of game fighting, and the exploration and puzzle solving in the open world are also full of surprises. This makes Raiders a hot topic, and there are even Raiders videos with more than 5 million broadcasts.

Not long ago, the number of registered users in Genshin Impact exceeded 1 100 million, and related game topics have always been a hot frequent visitor on social platforms at home and abroad, and live broadcast on external networks is also in the forefront. For example, several versions of Genshin Impact's preview live broadcast were the first off-network live broadcast platform at that time. Because of the time difference, many foreigners don't even sleep at 2 or 3 in the morning to watch the live broadcast, and they also watch the Chinese version.

In addition, Genshin Impact has been widely concerned outside the game circle, and has become the topic of the China Debate Competition (an authoritative competition for young elites). In addition, due to its high popularity and high quality in the world, the game itself has become the best candidate for technology companies to prove new products. Apple, Xiaomi, OPPO and other well-known technology brands all recognize Genshin Impact.

Multi-element fusion, Genshin Impact music has been praised by experts from all over the world and adopted by CCTV.

The game is called the ninth art, so apart from its own quality, Genshin Impact has also made great efforts on the artistic level, among which the content of "music" is particularly prominent.

Chen Zhiyi, a music producer in Genshin Impact, is a member of HOYO-MiX, a music group owned by Mihayou. His representative works include Great Shanghai, Macau Fengyun, Captain's Army Building, etc. He is one of the best music leaders in China. In addition, the standard of Genshin Impact's entire music team is also very high. The scores of several games created in one year are very popular on major music platforms, and are recommended by world-recognized music platforms such as App Music.

Genshin Impact not only has a strong team, but also cooperates with top musicians from all over the world, and invites Irish Symphony Orchestra, Shanghai Symphony Orchestra and Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra to participate in the production of original music according to the theme styles of different regions in the game. For example, there are famous conductors, three generations of Sanweixian and the youngest teacher of shakuhachi who participate in the music production of the current version 2. 1 ... so that even the most basic fighting music in the game comes from the hands of experts.

During the online concert held during the National Day, Genshin Impact also invited famous musicians from Belgium, South Korea, the United States and other regions. After attending the performance, most of these musicians from all over the world talked about the diversity of Genshin Impact music, which made them feel very interesting through the combination of traditional and western musical instruments, as well as the combination of street style and elegant wind energy.

In addition to the music masters who participated in the performance, many professional musicians who didn't play games also came here to enjoy Genshin Impact music, including many big names who participated in the music production of Marvel comics and movies. In the end, they even became Genshin Impact players because they liked music. In addition, CCTV also used map music such as Genshin Impact Qingce Village and Northland Bank in its programs, and similar situations occurred in foreign news channels.

Although the style is changeable, there are many special contents in Genshin Impact's music. 2. 1 version of the BOSS war, the lyrics sung in the background music are Latin; In the fighting music of Li Yueda's BOSS Ruotuo Dragon King, even classical Chinese was added, which directly shocked foreigners. Domestic players are not much better, and players also call it "cultural literacy". Although some people laugh and some cry, it is also a microcosm of Genshin Impact's national recognition.

With the gradual export of culture, Genshin Impact is also helping the world understand China.

As mentioned earlier, Genshin Impact has become a key cultural export project recognized by the state, with the focus on "Bright Moon", which is an area based on China's traditional culture and has set off a craze abroad.

Li Yue is not the first region in Genshin Impact, but the second region. The advantage of this is that we can do more preparatory work, because our traditional culture has lasted for thousands of years, and it is difficult for foreigners to understand it at the moment. Therefore, before the Li Yue area was officially opened, the content of the game was already laid out. After the Li Yue area was unlocked, the cultural output was carried out step by step through the main line, branch lines, figures, buildings, monsters, big events and other ways.

This makes foreigners learn Chinese in order to better understand the background of the game, because they know that translating Chinese into a foreign language will be lacking in details. In addition, foreigners are also deeply studying the meaning of these China cultures, from five lines of gossip to the highest heaven, and the fairy hag. Genshin Impact has gradually entered the daily life of foreigners.

On the graffiti walls of foreign streets, you can see the graffiti of Genshin Impact's character; In foreign universities, students can see the role of painting the bright moon in the current mid-term exam assignments; There is also a foreigner's birthday, and his mother made him a moon cake, which made the foreigner who knew the meaning of past lives laugh and cry, and taught his mother the knowledge of China culture. Some foreign teachers, after learning that their students had COVID-19, drew a stick figure of the Great Sage of Genshin Impact, cheering for them and wishing them to get rid of evil (defeat the virus) as soon as possible.

In the fight against this epidemic, it is not only Genshin Impact's role. Genshin Impact had previously teamed up with the world-famous KFC in China. In the offline activities at that time, many KFC stores were full of players, which was very lively. After this story spread abroad, many foreigners were envious, and at the same time they knew the real situation of China's anti-epidemic. Those rumors stopped at the facts.

In addition, Genshin Impact has also contributed to the tourism industry affected by the epidemic. There are many scenic spots in Li Yue, such as Zhangjiajie, Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou, which makes many foreigners who know the truth say that they want to travel to China and really feel these beautiful scenery like fairyland.

Although the current game process has passed the full moon version, the "Month by Month Festival" held on the first anniversary is designed on the basis of the Mid-Autumn Festival, which also has traditional cultural elements. Players from all over the world are involved, and Li Yue will also add some corresponding new content.

Genshin Impact's success may be difficult to copy, from the game itself to the music art to the cultural export, but this road to success may be learned by more people.
