Meng Chang had already sent people to investigate Aili Island and other video websites. He specially found UP Masters with many fans and bad records of sponsored partnerships, or UP Masters with fewer fans and little influence.
There was no Animal Island on this VR glasses. Instead, there were only a few ordinary VR games on the market.
That was because the publicity plan this time was to promote the VR glasses itself. It did not say that it was to promote the game.
Wasn't it normal and reasonable for the game to be delayed for a week or two or even half a month because of various reasons?
Could it be called skipping a ticket if it was only half a month?
I don't like people like you who have never seen the world.
At that time, these UP Masters would definitely brag about this glasses. However, gamers did not have glasses in their hands.
These UP Masters could not prove that the glasses were as awesome as they said.
What's more, Tengda would sign a confidentiality agreement with them. Before the glasses were officially released, they could not mention the specific parameters of the glasses.
In name, it was to prevent leaks, but in reality, it was to prevent the various parameters of the glasses from being too high and attracting too much unnecessary attention.
These UP Masters were either not famous or had a history of malicious sponsored partnerships. Coupled with Slow Movement Workspace and Meng Chang's bad reputation, everyone would definitely suspect that they were working for money.
It would be useless even if they opened a live-stream. That was because the unique immersion of VR would be completely lost if they projected the VR images onto the screen. What's more, the glasses did not have the game Animal Island at all. They could only live-stream some existing VR games. It would not have any effect at all.
In addition, the promotional video and the previous foreshadowing had raised gamers' expectations infinitely. Gamers would definitely be disappointed when the true colors of the glasses were revealed!
That way, they would be able to officially sell the glasses after some time.
That was because the popularity had been suppressed. Sales would definitely not be good.
Wouldn't that complete the reverse publicity?
The plan was perfect. The key was to see if there would be any problems during the execution.
Meng Chang took the time to contact the 100 carefully selected UP Masters and sign the electronic agreement with them.
Then, he packed the VR glasses and sent them over.
The effect he wanted was to wait for the promotional video of the VR glasses to be released tomorrow night. A batch of videos and live-streams of the glasses would immediately appear on the internet!
Even though the various foreshadowing had already caused gamers to be filled with doubts about this VR glasses, there were still some people who were looking forward to it.
If he allowed this kind of anticipation to continue to ferment without releasing the real thing, it might even become more and more popular.
Therefore, he had to let the players see the real thing as soon as possible so that they could feel the huge psychological gap in a short period of time. Only then would this sense of anticipation turn into a feeling of being deceived, and their love for the glasses would turn into hatred!

…
July 4th, Wednesday.
Today, Qiao Liang did not go to Chi Xing Workspace. Instead, he lay at home and rested.
That was because his work on Animal Island had ended.
Up until now, Animal Island's main task had been to follow Boss Pei's instructions and make changes to the game's beginner's guide. The core content and gameplay of the game had been completed.
Although they had invested quite a lot of money into this game, it was not the kind of game that required a lot of resources and levels. Instead, it was a casual game. All the plot took place on an island, and the daily gameplay was also made up of various small games. The volume of the game was not that large, so the development progress was faster.
Now, it was almost time to experience the official release of the game.
Although Qiao Liang had a lot to say to his fans, he still held it in.
Previously, when Meng Chang had found him to try out this game, he had said that he hoped that he would keep this project a secret and not let any news spread online. Otherwise, it might affect the publicity plan.
At that time, Qiao Liang agreed immediately.
Qiao Liang had kept this in mind even though he had been baited in the fan group and even caused the Eternal Fallen Samsara incident. He did not reveal any new news about Animal Island to the fan group.
Qiao Liang had not said anything, including the fact that the relationship between Slow Movement Studio and Tengda Corporation had been stirred up online two days ago.
That was because he felt that the truth would naturally come to light after the game was released!
Tengda and Slow Movement Studio were indeed investors but the idea for this game was given by Boss Pei. Lin Wan, who was in charge of the game, was the original person-in-charge of Shang Yang Games. This was the original Tengda Games!
However, why did Tengda specially post a Weibo post to distance themselves from it …
Perhaps it was to not give Lin Wan so much pressure!
After all, the title of 'Tengda's orthodox sequel' was too heavy. Not everyone could bear it. If gamers' expectations were too high at the beginning and the game did not meet their expectations, it would not be a good thing for Lin Wan, who had just established Slow Movement Studio.
Thus, Qiao Liang did not pay too much attention to the discussions online. Instead, he waited patiently for the promotional video.
That was because once the promotional video was released, it meant that Tengda's publicity campaign would officially begin. Everything would naturally be on track!
Someone knocked on the door. It was time for Fish-Catching Take-Out to deliver food.
Qiao Liang took his dinner from the deliveryman and sat in front of his computer. As he ate, he opened Aili Island's website, preparing to watch a video to eat.
At that moment, he saw a new update that had just been released.
"Eh? The promotional video for the VR glasses is finally out! "
"I wonder how this film is doing? I'm really looking forward to it! "
Qiao Liang immediately clicked on the video.
Others knew nothing about this VR glasses, but Qiao Liang knew very well that this VR glasses were too awesome!
Compared to the VR glasses on the market, even compared to the mainstream VR glasses that had been commercialized and mass-produced overseas, VR was not inferior at all.
In fact, it even surpassed them in many aspects.
Whether it was in terms of the configuration of the materials, the function of the controller and the overall design, or the adaptation of the system software, they were all done very well.
Qiao Liang could imagine how to make this promotional video perfect.
First, he had to put Doubt on it.
The real rendering of the VR glasses, especially the two unique controllers, had a huge close-up. It introduced the functions of each part in detail, so that the audience would have a deep first impression.
Secondly, he had to list the detailed parameters of this VR glasses, including the resolution of the two lenses, the refresh rate, the chip configuration of the machine, and the characteristics that it could be wired or wireless streaming.
Finally, he had to mention the new game, right? Animal Island VR was a game that fully cooperated with Doubt.
In a VR game, many of the features of the VR glasses could only be fully utilized in Animal Island.
He found a beautiful girl with a sunny image and asked her to wear the VR glasses and do a few archery or gun movements. Then, he would match it with the cute animal characters in Animal Island who also shot arrows or guns …
Wouldn't that be enough?
Qiao Liang felt that he could do it with such a publicity plan.
How simple!
The key was that the product itself was already impressive enough. As long as the publicity plan was done step by step, there would definitely be no problems.
Did he want to mess up the publicity plan for such a product? It was also a very challenging and skillful thing to do.
Qiao Liang also noticed that the name of this promotional video was not 'VR Glasses Promotional Video', but 'VR Era Concept Promotional Video'.
However, he did not pay much attention to it. Perhaps he just felt that it was more cool to call it that. It should still be the same.
The promotional video had already started playing while Qiao Liang was imagining the content of the promotional video.
…
In the pure white void, a shut-in with slightly messy hair was staring at the two buttons on the pure white platform in front of him in a daze.
One of the two buttons was blue with the words' virtual 'written below, while the other was red with the words' real 'written below.
After a brief hesitation, the shut-in reached out and pressed the blue 'virtual' button.
Then, a very small pair of VR glasses that looked like a pair of sunglasses appeared on the pure white platform.
The shut-in picked up the glasses and put them on his head.
At that moment, he suddenly transmigrated into a snow-covered forest.
The camera quickly pulled up and shot down. The shut-in was running on a long empty road in the forest. The towering coniferous forests on both sides were covered in pure white snow, and they were also quickly retreating with the camera.
The camera turned. The shut-in, who had already changed into a full set of high-tech clothes, arrived at a place that looked like a high-tech temple. There were dark gray, cold, and angular metal pillars all around. The empty temple hall could not be seen at a glance.
The shut-in ran all the way in this cold hall. As he ran, the scenery on both sides changed rapidly. Sometimes, it turned into a vast desert, and sometimes, it turned into a turbulent sea …
There was also a scene where the protagonist was running all the way in the starship in the vast interstellar universe. The insects had already torn apart the outer shell of the starship and were chasing after him …
The shut-in's body gradually stiffened as he ran. His body seemed to have frozen into a slide show. He could only make frozen movements, and his face was filled with fear.
Suddenly, the pure white platform appeared in front of him again. This time, he rushed over with all his might and slammed the red button with the words' real 'written on it.
The moment he slammed down, everything around him collapsed with a loud rumble!
The high-tech clothes on his body disappeared without a trace and turned into his daily clothes.
In the end, the shut-in took off the VR glasses he had been wearing with lingering fear and threw them far away.
The fragile VR glasses hit a wall and flew far away. It bounced on the ground and fell. It kept rolling and finally shattered into parts.
The shut-in looked around and realized that he had returned to the real world. The familiar bedroom, desk, and computer. However, there was a special logo and a line of small words on the computer screen.
This special logo was the logo of Slow Movement Studio. There was a horizontal line in the middle, and the small words were 'The virtual reality era is coming'!
The shut-in heaved a sigh of relief. Obviously, the scene he had seen was an illusion. He might have fallen asleep and had a nightmare.
He picked up the glass on the table and got up to get some water to drink.
However, just as he turned around and left, a pot of flowers in an inconspicuous corner of the room suddenly became messy. The different colors mixed into a mosaic.
It was like a bug in the game.
