After much persuasion, he finally managed to persuade Meng Chang.
Whether Meng Chang would continue to break up in the end depended on what effect Pei Qian's publicity plan could achieve next month. However, he would talk about next month's matters next month.
Even the system could not stump him, much less a mere Meng Chang?
In fact, the publicity mission that Pei Qian had given Meng Chang was only equivalent to a weakened version of the system's requirements.
The system's requirement was to incur losses in all aspects. Meng Chang's publicity mission only needed to ensure that the publicity plan for a certain industry did not work.
Pei Qian could even handle more difficult challenges with ease. As long as he did not pursue the 200,000 yuan commission for this simplified version of the challenge, he should be able to succeed … right?
There was no point in thinking about next month at this point.
He should focus on the present.
Meng Chang's publicity plan had completely failed. He could wash his hands of it and take the commission without doing anything, but Pei Qian could not.
The poor Boss Pei had to think of a way to clean up this mess.
The current situation was that the outside world was in an uproar. Netizens and many games media outlets treated the game that Teacher Qiao was trying to play as the sequel to Repent and be Saved, Eternal Fallen Samsara. What's more, it was getting more and more ridiculous.
The gamers who were waiting to play Eternal Fallen Samsara were a little obsessed. They even showed symptoms of Eternal Fallen Samsara under any news related to Tengda.
For example, the official Weibo shared a long wallpaper of all GOG heroes. There were gamers below it. "I understand! The official platform hinted that the plot of Eternal Fallen Samsara would be extended, at least twice as long as ordinary games! "
The official Weibo posted another photo of a girl cosplaying. Another gamer was commenting. "I understand! The official platform hinted that there would be cute young ladies in Eternal Fallen Samsara and a love cultivation system! "
If this continued, it would probably become more and more ridiculous. Who knew what gamers would come up with?
There were still other projects to be launched in the next month or so. If this popularity continued and caused more chain reactions after the rumors spread, it would bring huge popularity to Eternal Fallen Samsara. What if the downloadable content became popular before it was even released?
The rumors had already spread far and wide. In another two months, who knew what terrible things would happen?
He had to clarify a little to reduce the attention, so that gamers would not have such unrealistic expectations, and calm the impact of this matter as soon as possible.
That way, Pei Qian would be able to clear some obstacles in advance when he made other publicity plans next month.
How should he cool it down?
Pei Qian thought for a moment. He had to clarify at least two points.
First, Eternal Fallen Samsara was not the sequel to Repent and be Saved. It was just an ordinary downloadable content. Second, Teacher Qiao was not playing Eternal Fallen Samsara. To be precise, Eternal Fallen Samsara had not even been created yet. It had not even been officially developed. It would only be officially released in August.
As long as these two points were clarified, the players wouldn't be disappointed, but their enthusiasm would definitely plummet, right?
This was equivalent to going to a high-end restaurant to eat. Originally, they thought that the highly acclaimed main course would be served in five minutes, and they would definitely be looking forward to it. They even took out their phones and were ready to take photos to post on their social media.
At this moment, the waiter suddenly came over and said, "Sorry, it's not the main course. It's just an ordinary appetizer, and the main course will have to wait another half an hour."
Pei Qian could not clarify it previously because this action would affect Meng Chang's publicity plan. If Meng Chang messed things up, he would have to blame it on him.
Previously, Pei Qian could not clarify because this action would affect Meng Chang's publicity plan. When the time came, Meng Chang would mess things up and push the blame to him.
Pei Qian quickly stopped Meng Chang when he saw that he was about to leave.
Seeing that Meng Chang was about to leave, Pei Qian quickly stopped him.
"You're leaving just like that?"
"It's not that I'm scolding you, but you always look ahead and ignore the consequences. You leave when you see that the publicity plan has failed. You don't care about the possible consequences at all."
"Take this matter for example. Netizens are paying so much attention to Eternal Fallen Samsara that they are almost obsessed. If you don't hurry up and deal with it now, it will definitely be popular after Eternal Fallen Samsara is released. Would it be too late for you to make a publicity plan to reduce the popularity? "
"Dealing with the aftermath of the previous project is equivalent to clearing the obstacles for the next project!"
"Isn't it only natural that you fail if you don't pay attention to the details?"
Meng Chang was stunned, a little confused.
His expression now looked like a primary school student being lectured by his form teacher.
Boss Pei's lecturing made sense!
If this matter was allowed to continue fermenting, the netizens would not be able to vent their emotions. The popularity would definitely accumulate, and there would inevitably be some unknown chemical reactions in the future.
An expert would know once he made a move.
At first, Meng Chang thought that Boss Pei was making fun of him and said that he was demonstrating the publicity plan for him. However, Boss Pei was a busy person. He still had so many industries to arrange. How could he spend all his energy on publicity plans for him?
Thus, Meng Chang did not expect much.
However, looking at Boss Pei's attitude towards the details, it was obvious that he was going to teach him step by step?
Meng Chang was even a little flattered. For a moment, he had the illusion that Boss Pei was extremely grateful to him.
Of course, it was only for a moment.
"Then … Boss Pei, what should I do? Tell me, I'll do it, "Meng Chang asked humbly.
Pei Qian nodded slightly.
Yes, he was worth teaching. That was the right attitude!
As long as Meng Chang knew how to learn humbly, he would still be a promising talent.
Pei Qian thought for a moment. "To calm the popularity, we have to do it as simply and cleanly as possible."
"If we say too much, it'll easily cause gamers' imagination to run wild."
"Therefore, we can just use Tengda's official Weibo to issue a clarification. It's mainly to clarify the two points that I said previously: Eternal Fallen Samsara is only a downloadable content, and it only officially started in August. That way, gamers would not continue to pay attention to this matter. The popularity would slowly decrease. "
"Be more concise and formal."
Tengda's official platform might have worried about its credibility because it had played the 'wolf is coming' game too many times, but the credibility of the statement this time was higher. Gamers should believe it.
Meng Chang was stunned. "Boss Pei, are you sure there's no problem with this?"
Pei Qian asked, "What's the problem?"
"Er … nothing."
Meng Chang only vaguely felt that something was amiss, but he could not figure out what was amiss.
Since it was Boss Pei's plan, he would execute it. He would know soon if there was a problem or not.
…
Fifteen minutes later, Meng Chang knocked on the door again.
"Boss Pei, the statement is done. Please take a look."
Pei Qian took the cell phone and read the text of the Weibo post.
"Tengda Corporation and Tengda Games have noticed that netizens have been discussing the content of the 'Repent and be Saved sequel' reported by various games media. In order to avoid misleading gamers, we hereby state as follows:"
"Eternal Fallen Samsara is not a sequel to Repent and be Saved. It is just a regular downloadable content for Repent and be Saved. There is a huge difference in size between the two. Tengda Games has no plans to develop a sequel to Repent and be Saved in the near future. "
"Eternal Fallen Samsara has yet to enter the preparatory stage. The official project design time will be after August, and it is not in the 'testing stage' as reported online."
"I hope that gamers can distinguish between fake information and not be deceived."
"I hereby declare that I am listening."
There were more words, so he had to use a long Weibo post. At the moment, he had only edited the content and saved a draft. It had not been officially released yet.
Meng Chang was not sure if the statement would work, so he had to let Boss Pei decide.
Pei Qian nodded slightly.
Yes, it was written alright.
It might feel a little rigid and the official language was a little heavy, but there were benefits to it. Gamers would definitely not think that it was a performance anymore. It would be more credible.
No matter if there was a problem with the wording of the statement, at least the goal had been achieved.
"Alright, send it," Pei Qian said.
Meng Chang took the cell phone and pressed the 'send' button.
