At 8 PM that night, a brand new segment and a brand new video passed the review.
Products of the Gods First Episode: Game Designer and a Large-Scale Performance Art!
Teacher Qiao's fans were stunned.
What was going on? Wasn't he pretending to be dead?
After pretending to be dead for three days, he committed another crime?
What's more, it was a sponsored partnership video for the same game?
What's more, it was a sponsored partnership video for the same game?
Recently, "Qiao-logy" had become inexplicably popular on major video websites. Although other video creators had also uploaded similar videos, Teacher Qiao was the first, after all. He had to take the blame for this.
If he posted the video under such circumstances, the comments section would definitely be taken over by people who were trying to make fun of him!
Was this … a broken pot that had been smashed?
Anyway, his reputation could not be salvaged. However, black and red were still red. Was he going to make use of the popularity of 'Qiao Art' to make another wave of money?
Considering Teacher Qiao's current situation, it was hard for his fans not to make such a connection.
Netizens were anxious, worried, or eager to watch a good show. When they opened the video, they were prepared to criticize in advance.
However, Teacher Qiao's first sentence at the beginning of the video shut their mouths.
"Hello, everyone. I am still your Teacher Qiao.
"I know what everyone wants to say, but before everyone starts scolding me, I have to announce something regrettably."
"Three days ago, on April 1st, April Fool's Day, we carried out a large-scale performance art, and it was a complete success. But, the result of this performance art test is very sad. "
"That's right. The theme of this performance art was: in the age of information, which would be more likely to become popular: a malicious short video or a high-quality game that costs millions of yuan and is rich in content?
"After our experiments, I regret to announce the results."
"It's the former.
Many people were about to lash out, but this opening speech instantly blocked their words from their mouths.
Only confusion was left.
Huh? Performance art?
What kind of play was this?
They continued to watch, confused.
Teacher Qiao continued to introduce in the video.
After explaining the concept and definition of performance art, he started to introduce the purpose of this performance art.
According to Teacher Qiao, this performance art was completely initiated by Tengda. Its purpose was to explore a rather deep theme:
In the era of network information, people were faced with too much information. This was an era of information explosion, and at the same time, an era of extreme lack of information.
The information explosion meant that everyone could see a huge amount of information on the Internet. A trivial matter that happened in a small city might become popular overnight for some reason, and the next day, everyone in the country would know about it.
Lack of information meant that the truly valuable and meaningful information was overshadowed by a large amount of fast-paced, entertaining, and eye-catching junk information.
Therefore, this time, performance art made a comparison:
Teacher Qiao and many other video creators released their own videos. The content of the videos was very simple. They used exaggerated tones and words to curry favor. All of their videos were very similar. Even the commentaries were exactly the same.
In order to attract people's attention, the video used every means possible, including a mixture of Chinese and English, a large number of words, and other elements that made people feel disgusted.
The video itself was worthless and meaningless, but when so many video uploaders released it at the same time, and the content itself was full of gimmicks and eye-catching, netizens would spontaneously follow suit, instantly forming a special trend!
The rapid rise of 'Qiao-ology' proved this point.
A short video that purposely acted silly actually became popular because it was low enough and because there were enough people following suit! It became a hot topic!
This proved very well that in this era, what one thought to be an accidental explosion had someone behind it!
On the other hand, Tengda's new game, Game Designer, was a work that did not look that good.
It was very rich in content, but it was all hidden deep down. One needed patience to dig it out.
It exposed the current state of the industry and satirized the chaos in the industry. Whether it was the dubbing, art style, or the gameplay, it was full of innovation and sincerity.
However, what kind of situation did such a rich game face?
It was both good and bad. Players did not approve of it!
Many players did not even get into the game and left after five minutes.
The comparison between the short video and the game was the core of this performance art. That in itself was ironic enough!
Many viewers were already dumbfounded at this point in the video.
So that was what was going on?
On further thought, it did seem to make sense.
Which game company would be so stupid as to let a video creator do such a disgusting job? Wouldn't that affect their company's image and product's image?
Although Teacher Qiao did not have much moral integrity, from his past videos, he was a sincere video creator. Why would he use such a lowly method to do sponsored partnerships?
It wasn't that it didn't match his character; it just didn't match his intelligence!
What's more, Teacher Qiao was not a special case. There were so many video creators using the same script to promote their games. How could that be explained?
Could these video creators have taken the initiative to copy Teacher Qiao's script?
That was impossible!
The only explanation was that Tengda had given them the same script!
Why would Sugar Daddy want all the sponsored partnerships' creators to use the same script? What's more, it was such a lowly script?
Wouldn't it be better to let them create their own content?
They could spend the same amount of money and get better publicity. Why not?
Yet, Tengda chose such a stupid way to promote their games. They made all the video creators read their scripts brainlessly. Almost all the publicity had the opposite effect!
That was indeed illogical.
Thinking about it this way, Teacher Qiao's explanation seemed to be the only possibility.
This was a large-scale performance art!
What happened later proved this point.
'Qiao-ology' became popular, but Game Designer did not.
Didn't that prove the same point? In the information age of the internet, cultural works with real content were often buried. Instead, it was rubbish that filled up the netizens' time!
The more he listened, the more it made sense.
He continued to listen.
The topic of the video was successfully led to Game Designer.
This was Teacher Qiao's forte.
This video segment was called 'Products of the Gods'. It used a completely different commentary style from 'Trash Games Diss' and 'New Recommended Games of the Month'.
Teacher Qiao analyzed why Game Designer could be called a masterpiece from all aspects.
"Many gamers feel that to judge whether a game is a masterpiece, it mainly depends on its graphics, gameplay, plot, controls, durability, etc.
"However, these are the differences between 'outstanding works' and 'ordinary works'. They have nothing to do with 'masterpiece'.
"The so-called 'masterpiece' must have a huge impact in the industry. It must be rich in content and be able to withstand repeated discussions and polishing. It must resonate with the audience's soul!
"Works that do not meet these standards can only be said to be outstanding. They cannot be called a masterpiece.
"Game Designer is a godly piece of work that fulfills this standard!
