December 13th, Thursday …
Pei Qian's hair was messy from sleeping. He hugged his laptop on his sofa and seemed to be researching something.
Those who did not know would definitely think that Boss Pei was really working hard!
He woke up early in the morning and started thinking about work without even washing his hair.
However, Pei Qian only had one thought in his mind. "What's going on with the suffering travel? Can you self-media outlets unify your statements and give me a correct answer? "
Yesterday, the suffering travel had been a hot topic on the internet. It had been on the hot searches of various websites. All kinds of self-media outlets that flocked to popularity naturally followed at the speed of light, making it difficult for Pei Qian not to see it.
What's more, this situation might continue for a few days. After all, the UP Masters who made the videos were still editing the videos and waiting for approval!
Out of trust in netizens, Pei Qian read many netizens' discussions and self-media's analysis articles, trying to find out the truth behind the suffering travel.
The more he read, the angrier he became.
This batch of netizens was not good. They were not reliable at all!
They either analyzed fiercely like a tiger, but the process could not stand up to scrutiny at all, or they gave up analyzing and praised Boss Pei fiercely.
They said that this was another exquisite plan by Boss Pei, another subversion of the travel business model, and that the suffering travel had a bright future.
Pei Qian's heart was burning with anger.
He was a little conflicted.
On one hand, he was looking forward to someone like Teacher Qiao to come forward and explain the real reason for the success of the Suffering Trip like he was interpreting a game, so that he could completely understand this matter. Although this was most likely a misinterpretation of his original intention, at least it could explain why the market gave such a reaction.
On the other hand, he was a little worried. What if more netizens agreed with this explanation, causing the suffering travel to become even more popular?
After a long time, Pei Qian put his laptop aside and gave up helplessly.
"Forget it, it's a waste of time …"
The self-media outlets had put forward many shocking views in order to attract attention, but these contents could not stand up to scrutiny at all. They had no reference value to Pei Qian at all.
He still did not understand why the suffering travel would become popular.
He could only put it aside for now.
Pei Qian calmed himself down and turned his attention to another matter.
Today, the promotional work for "Successor" was going to be fully launched!
Huang Sibo had already discussed the details of the collaboration with Aili Island. Today, they would start extensive publicity. Not only would Tengda do the publicity, but Aili Island would also provide sufficient publicity resources.
This Sunday at 8pm, the three episodes of "Successor" would be released together. After that, there would be two episodes a week, on Saturday and Sunday nights.
The last two episodes would be released at the same time. In this way, all the episodes would be aired on Sunday, January 13th.
Pei Qian wanted to broadcast it on Saturday night because it would be the finals between GOG and IOI. That would steal a lot of attention.
However, Alice Island definitely did not want to compete with each other for popularity. After all, they had also given "Successor" a lot of publicity resources on the website.
Naturally, Pei Qian did not say much. He arrived at the time set by Alice Island.
In any case, Successor's failure was purely based on its capabilities. No matter when it was released, the outcome would not be too different.
The promotional video for "Successor" had already been released on Aili Island's website. Various promotional materials had also been hung up. They had also given "Successor" a large scrolling recommendation and list recommendation in the episode section.
The words' Fei Huang Workspace's new work 'were especially eye-catching on the promotional materials.
All in all, he had given all the cards that he needed to give.
Pei Qian clicked on the promotional video and took a look. Since it was posted by Fei Huang Workspace's official account and had been recommended by Aili Island's algorithm, there were already many bullet screen comments and comments not long after the promotional video was released.
"Is the successor finally going online?! Zhongdian Chinese Network's second copyrighted adaptation, I'm looking forward to it! "
"I'm a fan of the original work. The series looks quite similar to the original. Good reviews!"
"Is this a superhero movie? I don't see any superheroes at all? "
"Let me say something weakly. The handsome golden-haired guy who peed his pants is the main character."
"He's the main character? Then why is there no fighting scene in this promotional video? The first half was tortured miserably, and the second half was all scheming in secret … this … "
"I have a feeling that this film might be quite a scam. It's too unconventional and strange. It doesn't suit my taste …"
"It's normal for fans of the original work to say that it doesn't suit their taste. This theme itself is an unconventional, niche theme. What's more, the original author deliberately made the protagonist look bad. If you really like this protagonist, there will be a big problem."
"Fans of the original work don't spoil the plot! Let the audience who have never seen the original work enjoy the plot from the beginning. "
At a glance, the comments section of the promotional video could be said to have all kinds of comments. Not to mention forming a unified opinion, they could not even form two opposing opinions.
There were at least a few different attitudes in the audience.
On one hand, it was because Meng Chang had deliberately set up a misleading formation when he made the publicity plan so that new audiences would not be able to see the essence of the movie from the content of the publicity. On the other hand, it was because the spoilers had maintained restraint.
Many people who had not read the original work would definitely have a variety of understandings when they saw this title and this promotional video.
Those who had read the original work did not spoil or explain too much because this was obviously a very tasteless behavior.
Some fans of the original work wanted to explain, but this explanation would definitely involve spoilers. Thus, they held it back.
What's more, the original work of 'Successor' was not a popular work on Zhongdian Chinese Network. At most, it was a niche boutique. The original work's fans were too small on the internet and could not form a climate at all.
The fans of the original work and the new audience formed two different attitudes. There were many types of new audiences. Some came for the superhero theme, some liked alternative stories, and some were simply fans of Fei Huang Workspace …
All in all, the publicity might be quite big, but the popularity was not high.
That was because there were only two situations for the popularity to explode. One was to be well-received, and most people would be crazy about it. The other was to have a mixed reputation. Both sides would be at loggerheads, and no one would give in to the other.
For example, in the current situation of Successor, it was a situation where both sides were not close.
Pei Qian finally nodded in satisfaction at this point. He temporarily put aside the matter of the bitter trip.
It looked like Meng Chang's initial publicity strategy had succeeded.
Once 'Successor' was released, many audiences would shout that they had been tricked and scolded. That would be even more stable!
…
…
December 15th, Saturday …
Europe, IOI International Finals venue.
"Boss Zhao, over here!"
Eric was all smiles as he accurately found Zhao Xuming in the surging crowd.
The two of them high-fived, representing a victorious meeting.
Ever since the start of GOG's international invitational tournament, Eric had been keeping an eye on it in Europe. Zhao Xuming, on the other hand, was in charge of offline activities and broadcasting in China.
The competition was finally coming to an end. GOG was advancing triumphantly while IOI looked like the sun was setting in the west. Naturally, the two of them could relax.
After the semifinals last weekend, two domestic teams on GOG's side had fought their way out. The process might have been a little difficult but the outcome was good.
Since it was an internal battle, there was no need to worry about GOG. It was all meat. It was the same no matter who won.
What's more, from the current situation, GOG had already stolen all the popularity with the new viewing function. It could be said to be completely crushed in China. Its popularity in the world had also completely overshadowed IOI. They could already open the champagne in advance.
Eric and Zhao Xuming had already booked tickets for the IOI finals in advance. They were just in time to watch the finals.
Obviously, there was more suspense here.
Of course, no one could guarantee whether FV Station could win or not. However, this was only a local battle. Even if FV Station lost, it would not have much of an impact on GOG's overall victory after the dust had settled on the entire battlefield.
Of course, it would be best if they won.
Zhao Xuming looked at the time. The competition would start in a while, but he had to enter.
Unfortunately, Eric and Zhao Xuming had bought their tickets separately. Their seats were not in the same area, so they could only find their own seats and take their own seats.
Not long after Zhao Xuming sat down, he heard someone say in surprise, "Boss Zhao?"
He looked up and realized that it was his old partner from Long Yu Corporation, Jin Yong.
"Eh, you're here too?"
Zhao Xuming only realized that there was a problem when he asked that question. He smiled.
Jin Yong had taken over his job now and was considered the person-in-charge of IOI's domestic server. Was it strange for him to appear at the IOI World Finals?
On the other hand, it was a traitor like him who came over!
Jin Yong nodded. "Yes, I'll sit over there, about ten seats away."
He did not say much. He was his old superior after all, and their friendship was still there.
Coincidentally, the seat next to Zhao Xuming was empty. Jin Yong sat down for the time being and chatted with Zhao Xuming for a while.
"Boss Zhao, this spectator function that you created is really amazing. It completely caught us off guard!"
"What's more, we've been in a meeting for a long time, but there's really nothing we can do. That little bit of popularity that we've painstakingly gained has been silently eaten up by you guys."
"Did you come up with this idea, or did Eric come up with it?"
"Or … did Boss Pei come up with it?"
Jin Yong had always been very curious about this. He could finally ask now.
Why had Eric and Zhao Xuming been passively defending when they were on IOI's side and being beaten up by Tengda until they could not tell north from south? However, they suddenly seemed to be enlightened when they came to GOG and came up with all sorts of ideas?
Could the two of you have been acting the entire time?
You can play happily when you're queuing up on my side, but you can punch me when you're queuing up opposite me?
Jin Yong instinctively felt that he should not speculate about his old superior like that, but the current situation was too similar. It was hard not to suspect it.
Zhao Xuming smiled. "Neither."
"It was the former person-in-charge of Tengda Games who was transferred to Bunny Tail Live-Stream."
