Teacher Qiao's fans were in an uproar. They could not accept this video!
However, they had no choice but to accept it. They could not find Teacher Qiao anymore.
They could not @ him in their fan groups, and they did not reply to private messages. Some managers with Teacher Qiao's phone number tried to call him, but they could not get through.
Obviously, he was planning to be a tortoise.
The fans went from confused to angry, from angry to disappointed, from disappointed to calm, and then from calm to watching the show …
Teacher Qiao's magical behavior had added a festive atmosphere to the first of April.
However, everyone soon realized that this was not the end!
On various video websites, many content creators had started to post promotional videos for Game Designer!
What's more, these videos were quite evil. They were different, but the differences were limited to the title of the video, the editing of the art resources, and the voice of the content creator.
All the videos' scripts were the same. They were all spoken in a mixture of Mandarin and English. There were even 'slurping' sounds!
The fans collectively broke down.
What the hell was this?!
Although they were content creators with average influence, these content creators spanned across gaming, ghost, lifestyle, digital, technology, and other areas. They covered a wide range of areas.
What's more, their titles were all different. If one was not careful, they would click on them!
When the players clicked on them and saw this familiar image, their hearts skipped a beat. They knew that this was not good.
Indeed, after saying his signature opening speech, what followed was a brazen sponsored partnership!
"Its name is Game Designer, G ~ A ~ M ~ E, game, game!
designer！”
“Awesome！”
After watching two or three videos consecutively, many people realized that they had been brainwashed. Their minds were filled with 'wow', 'awesome', and 'slurping' …
What's more, these content creators all chose to disappear and play dead.
Nonsense. Once these videos were uploaded, they knew that they would be scolded badly. Who would dare to stand out and bear the anger of their fans?
They could only let them scold them in the comments section. Once the storm died down, they would pretend that nothing had happened.
Indeed, as Pei Qian expected, these sponsored partnerships videos were all scolded badly!
All these sponsored partnerships videos had very few views. What's more, the comments section was simply unsightly. Many people clicked on the comments section and saw the pitiful state of the comments section. They would not even click on the video to watch it!
…
In the office …
Pei Qian scrolled through these sponsored partnerships videos and checked the views and audience feedback.
Yes, he had perfectly achieved his goal!
They had spent a lot of money to hire many video creators, but the advertising videos they produced were wildly spurned by the audience. The number of views didn't go up, and they basically didn't have any publicity effect.
This is great!
It was a good idea to limit the content of everyone's commentary!
Pei Qian knew that these content creators were very talented. What if he allowed them to freely express themselves and create another tragedy like The Lonely Desert Road?
Therefore, if everyone used the same script, it would not leave a good impression on the players!
Pei Qian was very satisfied. His plan was halfway to success!
Now, it all depended on whether the game could live up to expectations!
…
In the rented house.
Lying on his bed, Qiao Liang looked at the dozens of missed calls on his cell phone, feeling a little hopeless.
Ah, as expected, it was hard to earn money with a black heart!
He didn't even dare to open the fan group. He didn't even need to think to know what was going on inside.
The more he thought about it, the worse he felt. The more he took a step back, the angrier he got.
Ah! How regretful!
Now that he thought about it, ten thousand yuan was indeed a thick sum, so thick that it blinded his eyes.
At first, he thought that earning ten thousand yuan would make him happy. However, after lying in bed for so long, Qiao Liang still felt uncomfortable.
There was no longer any meaning in playing the game, and his instant noodles didn't taste good either.
Could it be … this was the feeling of having an uneasy conscience after earning shitty money?
After thinking for a long time, Qiao Liang sat up from his bed, switched on his computer, and downloaded Game Designer.
"No, I have to die knowing the truth today!
My reputation is ruined, but I have to at least find out who the culprit is, right? "
He paid twenty-eight yuan for Game Designer.
Although he had received the art materials for Game Designer a long time ago, Tengda had not sent him the game's demo.
That was because Pei Qian didn't want to give it to him.
He had already written the script for the video. All he had to do was add in the images, and he would be able to make a crudely produced video. Why should he give it to him as a demo?
If he gave it to him, what if the content creator played it once and used his excellent editing skills to dilute the sense of sponsored partnerships? Wouldn't that be very awkward?!
Thus, even Teacher Qiao himself didn't know what kind of game it was.
Filled with the feeling of 'dying knowing the truth', Teacher Qiao entered the game and started to experience it.
…
…
Perhaps because it was his first time entering the game, he didn't enter the options interface. Instead, he entered the game directly after the screen turned black.
Surprisingly, before the game's graphics appeared, a voice-over was heard.
"This is a story about game production.
"You are a fledgling game designer who has a great dream of saving the domestically-produced games industry.
"Your job is very simple. Think of an idea and create a game. Passersby will be shocked, your peers will be envious, the media will praise it, and the sales will explode. Then, you will earn money and continue to develop the next game. This cycle continues.
"Until you become a celebrity game designer. You can use public funds to chase celebrities, win the Best Game of the Year, appear on the cover of Time Magazine, and make your company worth trillions. You will reach the pinnacle of your life.
"Alright, wipe off the saliva at the corner of your mouth.
"These are all things that are too far away.
"Now, you only have one goal: to create a successful game so that you can … survive in this cruel market."
Along with this voice-over, the game's image also changed.
The game's image was from a first-person perspective. Along with the voice-over's explanation, this perspective also began to move forward in a space that looked like a corridor.
When it came to the part of 'passersby will be shocked, your peers will be envious, the media will praise it, and the sales will explode', passionate fans appeared on both sides of the corridor, envious designers from the award ceremony, countless reporters with flashing cameras, and news of the game's huge sales.
These scenes were a little like silhouettes, or rather, like pages of a three-dimensional book that were unfolded, appearing along with the voice-over.
Moving forward in this space that looked like a corridor, there was a feeling of being immersed in it.
At times, it seemed like he was surrounded by enthusiastic gamers, and at other times, it seemed like he was being crazily captured by reporters.
However, Qiao Liang always felt that he was in a state of specialness and did not completely immerse himself in the game.
Qiao Liang was a little surprised.
The videos that he received previously did not have voice-overs. What's more, the videos were not controlled by players. They looked very confused and did not know what they were doing.
However, after experiencing it personally, it felt completely different!
First-person perspective and casual exploration gave players a good sense of immersion and exploration. The various silhouettes that appeared around them gave players an excellent sense of immersion and exploration.
On the other hand, the voice-over's voice was very unique.
It was a very special male voice. It was a little sharp, and his voice was very narrow and thin. It even had a little hoarseness from smoking.
If one listened carefully, one might feel a little irritated and have the urge to hit someone. However, if one did not pay too much attention, it would be very easy to ignore this male voice and only pay attention to the voice-over.
The sense of immersion and alienation merged together to create a rather unique game experience.
On one hand, he could immerse himself in the game as a game designer and experience joy, anger, sorrow, and joy. He would be happy because of the players' cheers and feel elated because of the media's flattery.
On the other hand, he would always maintain a sense of objectivity and calmness, as if he was looking at things from God's perspective.
This experience was very magical. Even though Qiao Liang had played many standalone games before, this was the first time he had encountered such an experience.
"That's strange, this game … seems pretty good?"
Qiao Liang was increasingly certain that Boss Pei was holding a grudge! This was revenge!
This game was clearly being marketed properly. It would not be a problem for it to produce a high-quality sponsored partnership.
Why did he want me to do that kind of video?
Wasn't he targeting me?!
