"Why don't you chase after the hot topics that are common on the Internet?
"From another perspective, what's wrong with the hottest topics on the Internet?
"Well, there are still a lot of problems if you think about it carefully. For example, the truth is easy to reverse if the truth is unclear, and it is likely to be implicated if you express your position in advance; the hottest topics are often superficial and completely contrary to the purpose of Useful App; these topics often come and go quickly, and once the popularity is gone, there are no more problems …
Yu Pingan quickly found a series of problems and hidden dangers.
The current online world was composed of huge information cocoons, and most people only cared about the part that they were interested in.
This would lead to a problem. The hottest topics must be able to pull out all the people in the information cocoon and fully participate in the discussion, and this kind of topic would often be limited to a very limited number of aspects.
For example, emotional topics, gender topics.
After all, a person's hobbies for games, movies, anime … Each hobby could correspond to a small circle. One could ignore the circle they didn't like, but they could only be male or female since they were born. It was impossible to bypass the circle of gender topics.
Another example was that the topic of the entertainment industry would always be higher than the academic circle.
This was because only a small number of people could master or come into contact with academics, and ordinary people would more or less watch some movies, variety shows, and know a few stars in the process of entertainment.
The more wide-ranging the topic was, the easier it was to cause popularity; but the discussion in the discussion area was more likely to turn into a chicken talking to a duck and attacking each other.
The characteristic of the online world was precisely that no one could convince anyone; it was simply about who was louder. The volume of the voice often depended on the skill of quarreling. Whoever was more shameless during the quarrel was more likely to win.
Therefore, the biggest hot topic for a period of time was often the topic that ordinary people generally participated in, but it was extremely unnutritious.
At first glance, these seemed to be very delicious melons, but after eating, looking back, they felt that they had eaten alone.
This was obviously completely contrary to the purpose of Useful App.
Useful App was to create a pure land without spam on the Internet, and the repetition and excessive discussion of "hot topics" was itself creating spam.
Thinking of this, Yu Pingan understood.
"Therefore, Boss Pei is reminding me to pay attention to the degree.
"It is necessary to pay attention to hot topics because hot topics will reflect the collective demands of ordinary people to a certain extent. As a software, Useful App serves most ordinary people, so paying attention to the hot spots is a process of understanding the collective demands of ordinary people. "
"However, we can't pay attention to those hot topics that cause war, excessive discussion, and meaningless because it is completely contrary to the purpose of the Useful App."
"Yes, Boss Pei's teachings are very reasonable and thought-provoking. However … Boss Pei didn't specify how to choose the hot spots, right? "
Currently, there were too many hot topics on the internet, but very few of them were valuable and meaningful.
The hottest topics often covered a wide range of topics without specific connotations. They incited wars and incited different groups to attack each other.
But wouldn't it be the same for the less popular hotspots?
Obviously not. Among the less popular hot topics, this kind of garbage hot topic that covered a wide range of topics, had no substance, and incited different groups to attack each other could also be found everywhere.
"Boss Pei said to observe more."
"But there are so many hot spots. How do we choose? I don't have that kind of powerful insight! "
"If Boss Pei were to choose personally, he would definitely be able to choose the best direction.
"However, how could Boss Pei spend his precious time on selecting hot spots for Useful App …"
Yu Pingan felt that he seemed to have fallen into a dead end: Boss Pei proposed a solution, but only Boss Pei himself could use this solution.
"Wait a minute."
"Who said that Boss Pei doesn't have time to help select? Isn't Boss Pei always choosing?! "
Yu Pingan suddenly realized that he seemed to have fallen into a misunderstanding.
He felt that Boss Pei was so busy that he definitely did not have time to help Useful App choose the general direction.
However, the key was, what was Boss Pei busy with?
Wasn't he finalizing the general direction for the development of Tengda Corporation?!
As the helmsman of Tengda Corporation, Boss Pei constantly let Tengda enter various different fields. These industries seemed to have nothing to do with each other, and they looked like they were going to die when they first started. However, they soon had a close connection and proved that this was the direction of future development!
Every time Boss Pei entered a field, he could change the business model in this field and cause a certain sensation.
Wasn't this also a meaningful hot spot?
Thinking of this, Yu Pingan's horizons suddenly opened up.
"What game is Tengda Games developing? Oh, Eternal Samsara … this doesn't seem very reliable. "
"What about Shang Yang Games?"
"'Safe and Civilized Driving'! This seems to be a game related to cars, traffic, and urban planning. "
"Useful App can also start from this field and study car-related fields. On the one hand, it can ride on the popularity of the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving' when it is released. On the other hand, it can also provide some theoretical support for this game."
Yu Pingan suddenly understood the development direction of Useful App in the future.
First, it was to cooperate with various universities step by step to continue to enrich various basic fields and set up the entire framework as soon as possible. Second, it was to work closely with Tengda's planned industries in the future. It could not only provide theoretical support but also use the popularity of the industry to promote Useful App.
"This forms a complete closed loop! It's perfect! "
Yu Pingan was suddenly no longer confused, and his difficulty in choosing was completely cured.
After receiving Boss Pei's revelation, he no longer hesitated and immediately threw himself into work, ready to find relevant professionals!
…
…
September 21st, Friday …
Meng Chang did not go to work today because he had long realized that he would most likely not get any commission this month. This also meant that his work had ended early.
Who would still work without a salary?
However, Meng Chang was not as dejected as he was the previous few times. He was still paying attention to the progress of Eternal Fallen Samsara even though he had returned home.
That was because he wanted to know the deeper meaning behind Boss Pei disrupting his publicity plan. He was still waiting for Teacher Qiao's answer in the video.
If this answer did not satisfy him, Meng Chang would have to re-examine the Pei Consortium's publicity method that he had concluded. That was because this incident might mean that he had entered a very wrong misunderstanding.
If this answer could satisfy him, it would mean that the Pei Consortium's publicity method was correct as a whole. There were only some mistakes in the details.
Boss Pei had disrupted his publicity plan to correct this mistake.
All in all, Meng Chang had to perk up and pay attention seriously no matter what the situation was.
The gamers' comments and feedback on the internet had changed since the combat system of Eternal Fallen Samsara was updated last Friday.
However, this change was not exactly the same as Meng Chang had expected.
At first, Meng Chang thought that updating the combat system in advance was equivalent to detonating the popularity at the wrong time. It would cause the popularity to not reach its peak at the time of detonation. Instead, it would steadily and continuously spread for a period of time.
At the beginning, the situation was indeed as he had expected.
Players were very excited because of the new combat system. The difficulty problem that had been criticized previously seemed to no longer exist. Everyone was seriously honing their parrying skills. All sorts of big shots had also uploaded their videos of killing quickly without any injuries to the internet.
It had to be said that there were indeed many genius big shots. After the combat system was updated for only a week, someone had already completed the achievement of killing the Black and White Impermanence at the beginning. He did not know how many times he had trained.
Of course, defeating the Black and White Impermanence would not have a decisive impact on the game flow. They would only obtain the weapons and props on the Black and White Impermanence in advance.
In the plot, the protagonist would no longer be locked by the Black and White Impermanence and brought to the Road to the Netherworld. Instead, he would use the props on the Black and White Impermanence to head to the Road to the Netherworld.
Apart from that, in the original process, they would encounter the Black and White Impermanence again in the middle of the game. If they had already killed these two bosses at the beginning, there would be no need to fight this place again.
All in all, it did not affect the game content. It was just an additional achievement.
However, no matter what, being able to defeat the boss in the middle of the game with only one Demon Sword in the prelude was enough to show how powerful these players were.
Many players were discussing this combat system. They felt that it combined the gameplay of action-type games with the rhythm of sound games and the direction of fighting games. It was another breakthrough for action-type games.
These were exactly what Meng Chang had expected.
However, very quickly, something unexpected happened to Meng Chang: A portion of players naturally started to compare Eternal Fallen Samsara with Repent and be Saved.
The result of the comparison was that although Eternal Fallen Samsara had made some innovations in the combat system, it was far inferior to Repent and be Saved!
Meng Chang's first reaction to this statement was to be very confused and even puzzled.
Therefore, he found the source of this statement. It was a post made by a veteran player who claimed to be from Repent and be Saved.
This player also posted a screenshot of all the achievements of Repent and be Saved, as well as a screenshot of the achievement of killing the Black and White Impermanence in the prelude of Eternal Fallen Samsara. This was to prove that he had a deep understanding of the two games.
"To be honest, I was very excited when Eternal Fallen Samsara first updated its combat system. However, I'm a little disappointed after experiencing it.
"I know many people will say that there is still a third of the game's content that has not been updated. What's more, this is only a downloadable content. We shouldn't use the standards of a new game to ask of it. After all, as a downloadable content that is only a fraction of the original price, its current performance is already very worth it.
"However, I still want to briefly explain my opinion and why I think Eternal Fallen Samsara is not as good as Repent and be Saved.
"Many people have mentioned this before, so I won't emphasize it anymore. After all, this is only a downloadable content, and it's cheap. What makes me feel a little regretful is Eternal Fallen Samsara's combat system.
"I think this combat system is very novel, but it has two biggest problems. First, it's too difficult to operate. Most people won't be able to enjoy it as much as they did in Repent and be Saved. Second, it actually deviates from the spirit of Repent and be Saved to a certain extent. It loses the effect of 'breaking the fourth wall' that Teacher Qiao mentioned. The spiritual core of suffering in this hopeless world is weakened to a certain extent.
"In Repent and be Saved, every player can personally feel that kind of despair. However, after suffering for a period of time, they can immerse themselves in that feeling. Just like Teacher Qiao said, the game breaks the boundary between reality and players will experience a spiritual baptism.
"However, after Eternal Fallen Samsara's combat system was changed, this feeling was lost.
"For players who can't grasp the new combat system and can't get used to blocking, this journey becomes pure suffering. It's very difficult for them to experience the joy of growth after suffering. In other words, the threshold for entry into the combat system is too high. For players who get used to this combat system, although they can obtain intense joy from it, they lose the feeling of struggling in the sea of suffering.
"Therefore, the game itself is not a problem. It's still as high-quality as ever, and the combat system is refreshing. However, in terms of breaking the fourth wall and digging deep into one's spiritual gameplay, I think there's a huge gap between it and Repent and be Saved. Not only did it not pass on to the next generation, but it's also the opposite.
"In my opinion, this is a very regrettable point.
