That was because Meng Chang knew very well the real reason behind this matter: First, he had forcefully split Eternal Fallen Samsara into four parts in order to get a commission. Then, Boss Pei had forcefully updated the last part of the combat system for some reason that he did not know. That was why the current situation had occurred.
In other words, the root cause was that Meng Chang wanted to deliberately accumulate popularity to get a commission, and the direct reason was Boss Pei's interference.
However … how could he get a video to say all of this?
Meng Chang was not afraid of being scolded. The more he was scolded, the easier it would be for him to get a commission in the future. However, the key was that Teacher Qiao had no enmity with Meng Chang. There seemed to be no need for him to say this in the video, right?
What's more, only Meng Chang and Boss Pei knew about the commission. Teacher Qiao could not possibly know about this, right?
Or could it be that Teacher Qiao had a wrong understanding and was going to start spouting nonsense in the video?
Meng Chang continued watching with doubts in his mind.
…
"First, it's the deep reason why Eternal Fallen Samsara was updated three times."
"Many players are confused about this and have given their own guesses. However, as far as I know, these guesses are wrong. That's because they don't have first-hand information from Tengda's internal department like I do!"
"I heard from one of Tengda's core employees that the original update plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara was to be split into four updates. We would split the game's scenery and monsters into three updates. Finally, we would update the game's combat system.
"Later on, for some reason, the update of the combat system was brought forward. It was updated with the second part of the content. That's why it became like this."
"If I did not know this beforehand, then all the analysis would have been in the wrong direction. I would definitely not have been able to reach the right conclusion."
"In other words, the original plan for 'four updates' and the plan for 'three updates' might seem similar, but the motivation and methods are completely different!"
"Here, I want to emphasize: the original author was actually the chief designer of Eternal Fallen Samsara this time. The original person-in-charge of Tengda Games was on a business trip and was not in charge of the follow-up work of this game."
"In addition, the person who designed the publicity plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara has a certain understanding of this game, but obviously not enough."
"Therefore, the three updates are actually a correction by Boss Pei!"
"Of course, Boss Pei's intentions are also hidden behind this. He used a very simple method to completely change the nature of the entire plan.
At first, Meng Chang trembled a little because he felt that Qiao Liang seemed to have inevitably walked on a wrong path of analysis.
Why are you so obsessed with Yu Fei and me? The two of us are just tools!
We'll take the blame. That's not a problem, but does it have anything to do with the content of your video?
However, Meng Chang realized that Teacher Qiao did not go astray when he heard the latter part, especially when he heard that this was a correction by Boss Pei.
That was because this was indeed Boss Pei's first correction.
He still remembered that in Boss Pei's office, Boss Pei had asked him unhappily, "Think about it yourself. Is this publicity plan suitable?"
At that time, Meng Chang felt that his plan was a perfect display of the Pei family's publicity method. There was no problem at all. However, after some consideration, he chose to follow his heart and admit his mistake. Then, he asked Boss Pei what he should do.
Thus, Boss Pei changed his plan to what it was now and updated the combat system of Eternal Fallen Samsara in advance.
However, Meng Chang could not figure out the reason why Boss Pei changed it.
After seeing the updated combat system, players expressed that it was' delicious'. Meng Chang felt that there was no problem with his plan.
According to his original plan, the combat system would be updated at the end to connect the previous popularity and reverse all the controversies. That would complete a perfect publicity method for the Pei family.
Boss Pei's change not only caused Meng Chang's commission to leave, but it also caused Eternal Fallen Samsara to not accumulate enough controversy in the early stages. The popularity when it exploded was not high enough. It looked like a lose-lose situation instead.
Thus, Meng Chang had deep doubts about this. From Boss Pei's attitude, this was indeed a correction. However, Meng Chang could not figure out where he was wrong.
Qiao Liang seemed to have understood Boss Pei's actions?
Meng Chang quickly continued reading.
…
"Actually, the reason for the original four updates was very simple. It was to highlight the earth-shattering changes that Eternal Fallen Samsara's combat system brought to the game content."
"Let gamers use Repent and be Saved's original combat system to clear the game first. Then, we'll switch to Eternal Fallen Samsara's combat system. That way, gamers will be able to feel the difference between the two combat systems more clearly. It'll be the finishing touch.
"From the most primitive motive, this is for a good and kind purpose."
"But like I said before, Yu Fei was a main designer who took over halfway, and the person in charge of the publicity plan wasn't a professional in the game. So, their plan looked fine, but in reality, it was wrong by a hair's breadth!"
"Boss Pei acted decisively after seeing it. He issued an apology announcement and made changes to the update plan. He brought forward the update of the combat system."
"The essential difference is: Which comes first, the publicity effect or the players' experience?"
Teacher Qiao gave a detailed explanation in the video right after that.
If they followed Meng Chang's method, they could indeed accumulate a lot of controversy in the first three updates and cause widespread discussion. There might even be topics like 'Tengda has fallen from the altar'. In the end, the combat system would be updated. Eternal Fallen Samsara would transform like the finishing touch.
Doing so would indeed obtain huge popularity and have a good publicity effect.
However, the gamers' gaming experience would not be guaranteed.
That was because the entire numerical system of Eternal Fallen Samsara was planned according to the new combat system. If players were forced to use Repent and be Saved's combat system to play, they would definitely not be able to obtain the best gaming experience.
What's more, the combat system of Eternal Fallen Samsara was an inseparable part of the game experience. What was the point of hiding it from players?
On the other hand, the new update method was much more reasonable.
He would first release a small portion of the content so that players could use a week to briefly recall Repent and be Saved's combat system.
The new combat system of Eternal Fallen Samsara could also bring a sense of surprise to players.
He would allow players to use the new combat system to pass through most of the game's content. He would not waste players' time and try his best to ensure the gamers' gaming experience.
After introducing the essential differences between the two plans, Teacher Qiao gave a simple summary.
"In short, the difference between these two plans is whether to sacrifice some of the gamers' gaming experience for the sake of popularity or to sacrifice some of the gamers' gaming experience?
"Some people would choose the former, but Boss Pei would definitely choose the latter.
"Boss Pei is indeed a marketing master. From many marketing cases in the past, we can see that he is extremely talented in marketing.
"However, this incident has proven one thing: Boss Pei might know and be good at marketing, but he has never relied on marketing or blind marketing.
"To him, even if a marketing plan could bring a lot of popularity, it should be abandoned decisively if it could not bring the best experience to users.
"Users, or players, will always be the first."
…
At this point, Meng Chang felt as if a bolt of lightning had flashed through his mind, dispelling all his previous confusion.
So that's what happened?!
He recalled Boss Pei's question again. "Think about it yourself. Is this publicity plan suitable?"
Meng Chang stood up and paced around the room. He realized that many clues were connected.
No wonder Boss Pei looked so unhappy at the time. It was because my plan had gone completely astray!
After the publicity plan for the Morning Dew Gaming Platform, I felt that my Pei Corporation's publicity method had achieved great success. From Boss Pei's happy expression, he should think so too.
However, I messed up the publicity plan for Eternal Fallen Samsara. It instantly exposed the fact that I did not understand the Pei Corporation's publicity method at all.
I only saw some superficial knowledge and thought I understood it. The confidence I showed and my accidental success made Boss Pei overestimate my ability. That was why Boss Pei was so angry after I made this serious mistake!
On one hand, it was because Boss Pei wanted to personally solve this mess for me. On the other hand, it was because Boss Pei was very disappointed in me …
I was so stupid!
Boss Pei had been making his move for more than two weeks, but I still had not understood his intentions. I even had some misunderstandings and suspicions about him. It was only after Teacher Qiao released the video analysis that I realized the crux of the problem …
Meng Chang completely understood the problem with his plan. It was too dogmatically using the Pei Corporation's publicity method to create popularity, but it had completely deviated from the core and original intention of the Pei Corporation's publicity method!
This kind of behavior was like studying the Nine Yin Manual out of context, and in the end, creating the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, thinking that this martial art was very powerful, and feeling complacent and pleased with itself.
He did not know that the true Nine Yin Sutra was an extremely profound and serious martial art. He had cultivated an evil technique mainly because he had gone astray during the process of researching it.
Previously, Meng Chang had always felt indignant and sad about his loss of commission.
However, from the looks of it, he was not wronged at all. That was because Boss Pei's losses were greater than his!
Eternal Fallen Samsara was a good project that could earn both fame and fortune. It was a good game that could be recorded in the history of domestic action games. On the other hand, the gaming experience of the first batch of players was almost ruined by the Pei Corporation's publicity method that he had misunderstood. It almost tarnished the glorious image of Tengda Games …
Was it too much to deduct a month's commission after making such a huge mistake?
It was not too much at all. In fact, it was a little too kind.
Meng Chang deeply understood his mistake. His complaints towards Boss Pei and the heartache of losing his commission disappeared.
"It looks like I'm still far from mastering the Pei Corporation's publicity method. I have to work harder!"
"What's more, if the 'Yang, Yang, Yang' technique that I've concluded is a 'technique' and a 'move', then Boss Pei's user-oriented, player-oriented, and product-quality-oriented concept is the 'Dao' and 'internal energy'."
"I mistakenly understood simple moves as the entirety of the 'Pei Corporation's publicity method'. That's obviously wrong. Only by combining 'technique' and 'Dao', 'moves' and 'internal energy' would it be the complete Pei Corporation's publicity method. That would be the publicity method that Boss Pei really wants me to master …"
