Finger Games had already confirmed that FV Team's champion skin had to be produced urgently. That was because the earlier it came out, the more it could improve the current situation of IOI's local server.
If it really dragged on for half a year, IOI's local server would probably have to merge into the Asian server. Wouldn't it be too late to release the champion skin then?
Of course, Finger Games was still very vigilant about the champion skin.
That was because they had lost to FV Team the last time …
The previous set of champion skin did not look like much on the surface, but it was seen through by players the moment it was released: This was a tribute to Boss Pei, Tengda, and GOG!
That made Finger Games feel as if they had eaten a fly. They had clearly paid for the bonuses and skins themselves, but everyone was praising Tengda's goodness after the skins were made. How infuriating!
Thus, this time, Chrétien and the skin designers of Finger Games had to keep an eye on it even though they were asking Jin Yong to communicate. No matter what, they could not let the same situation happen again.
To put it bluntly, they were rejecting all elements related to Tengda!
Now that Jin Yong had completed his initial communication with FV Team, he had to inform Chrétien and the skin designers.
Jin Yong introduced. "FV Team did not mention anything related to Tengda this time, but … their request is still a little strange."
"They want to make skins for a few popular heroes, but they want to make them according to the image of their own intrinsic heroes."
"Take the jungler for example. The hero he chose last year was his intrinsic hero, the Storm Swordsman. However, the Storm Swordsman could not play this year, so he chose the strong jungler heroes of the version."
"The hero he chose this time is the Void Hermit from the finals. His request is to make the Void Hermit look like the Storm Swordsman. It has to look similar, and it has to reflect the elements of the Storm Swordsman in the city return special effect: When returning to the city, the armor on the Storm Swordsman's body would shatter, and the long sword would fall to the ground. The Void Hermit would emerge from within."
"The others' requests are similar."
Everyone looked at each other and fell into a short silence.
This request was indeed a little strange. The key was that the image of the two heroes, the Void Hermit and the Storm Swordsman, was too different!
According to the settings, the Swordsman of the Storm looked like a normal human. He wore a storm-surging armor and held a long sword in his hand. His movements were quick and agile, and he could be said to be a hero that specialized in bullying noobs.
The Void Hermit was set to be a Void creature similar to the Zerg Tribe. It could barely be considered a human. Although it was set to be an Zerg, it had extremely high intelligence. Its weapons were two sharp front claws, which could use the power of the Void to turn invisible and teleport. It was a popular hero that European and American teams loved in the current patch.
After being strengthened, this hero could be said to be the first tier jungler hero at the moment. FV Team could only practice crazily in order to win the championship. In the end, they relied on this hero to win the finals.
However, these two heroes with such huge differences in image were actually forcefully stitched together?
Chrétien was speechless. "How much does he like the hero, the Storm Swordsman? Last year, they already made a champion's skin. This year, they changed their hero, and they actually want to make another one. "
Jin Yong asked, "Then … can it be done?"
Chrétien nodded. "Of course it can be done."
"Make the Void Hermit a humanoid hero similar to the Storm Swordsman. We can't change the attacking movements of the claws, so we can change it to holding two swords. The movement and attack movements can also be slightly adjusted according to the Storm Swordsman."
"Of course, it can't be exactly the same as the Storm Swordsman. Wouldn't that be a mess in the game? We have to preserve the characteristics of the Void Hermit as much as possible."
"The most important thing now is, is there anything wrong with doing this?"
Jin Yong thought for a moment. "I don't think … so. Last year's champion's skin used a lot of GOG elements, so there was a certain sense of déjà vu. However, can't we just use IOI elements for this skin? "
"The Storm Swordsman is an IOI hero no matter what. This is nothing more than the 'Elemental Swap' skin that we released previously. That skin was quite successful."
The 'Elemental Swap' skin that Jin Yong was talking about was a set of skins that Finger Games had released previously. For example, there was a character similar to a Beast Tamer or a Hunter in the game. A humanoid hero could summon wild beasts. This set of skin gave the wild beasts clothes and the Beast Tamer skin, achieving the effect of 'Elemental Swap'.
Of course, the response was quite good. Many people bought it.
Chrétien thought about it and realized that it made sense.
Last year's skin had elements of GOG, but this year's request from FV Team was a little strange. Firstly, it was completely in line with the rules for the production of the champion's skin. Secondly, the members of FV Team did prefer those lifebound heroes. Everyone knew about this.
What's more, they did not use any elements of GOG this time. No matter how much they struggled, they would only struggle between these heroes within IOI.
The upper echelons of Finger Games thought that as long as FV Team's request was not too excessive, they would try their best to satisfy it.
After all, they were still hoping to use FV Team's skin to recover the domestic market. What if they did not meet FV Team's needs well and the players did not buy the skin when it was released?
At that time, it would be exposed that FV Team originally wanted a certain skin, but Finger Games was unwilling and asked them to change their request. That would be over.
It was a small matter to be destroyed by angry IOI players. The most terrifying thing was that everyone would boycott this skin and even further increase the loss of players.
At this critical juncture, it was better to have less trouble than less trouble.
"Alright, let's do it according to this plan. I'll report it to the higher-ups later. There shouldn't be any big problems." Chrétien agreed.
…
At night, Meng Chang returned to his residence.
The second wave of publicity for 'Successor' had already begun. After more publicity funds were invested, the popularity of the publicity for 'Successor' online did not decrease at all. One could still see the publicity materials for 'Successor' on many websites.
At the same time, Fei Huang Workspace's official account also began to forward and like some reviews or videos that analyzed the content of 'Successor'.
Film reviews were rather subjective after all. Some people would scold, and naturally, there would be people who would praise.
Qian's film review had caused such a huge reaction online. There must be many fans of the original work of 'Successor' or people who agreed with the core of the story of 'Successor' to refute it. However, no one with much influence stood out to speak for the time being, so they did not form an effective joint force.
Of course, if someone wanted to stand out and speak up for 'Successor' now, they would have to think carefully and consider the pros and cons.
That was because it was really easy to be scolded.
Fei Huang Workspace might have a good reputation previously but there was no need for a reason to scold others.
Even if some people wanted to speak up for 'Successor', they had to consider clearly what they could say and what they could not. Otherwise, if they said something wrong, the consequences would be very serious.
Fei Huang Workspace officially supported these people. On one hand, it made the supporters of 'Successor' more confident. On the other hand, it angered the audience who did not like 'Successor'.
Thus, the smell of gunpowder appeared.
Originally, it was the anti-fans of 'Successor' who were venting their emotions and successfully raised 'Successor' to about 6 points. Now, there were suddenly different voices. There was even a trend for the officials to step down. How could they tolerate this?
Thus, the debate online became more and more intense.
This debate did not revolve around whether the production of 'Successor' was excellent or whether the actors' acting skills were up to standard. There was nothing to argue about.
Everyone was arguing about whether this story was reasonable or not and whether it lowered one's intelligence.
It was very difficult to argue about such things.
Meng Chang pondered. It was about time to express his stance as Young Master Tian.
The dust would only settle next month, but he could not remain silent now. That was because the earlier he expressed his stance, the more predictable it would be.
What's more, the people who supported 'Successor' were being suppressed too badly now. The situation was a little one-sided. He had to support an opinion leader to directly fight against Qian's film review.
Of course, Meng Chang did not forget Boss Pei's instructions.
Young Master Tian, don't argue with the other party directly. That would be meaningless.
It would be enough as long as he posted a simple update and expressed his stance. At the same time, he would maintain his unfathomable image.
"I'm using the tiger's might, right? On the surface, Young Master Tian is full of confidence and strategizing, but in fact, Boss Pei is the one who arranged everything. I'm just a mouthpiece. "
Meng Chang opened Alice Island's website and posted a status update.
"'Successor' is a masterpiece that surpasses its times. The day after the entire episode is broadcasted, all the debates about it will naturally disappear. This update will not be deleted. Everyone can witness it with me. "
Meng Chang was afraid that he would be misunderstood as being sarcastic, so he spoke seriously without any ambiguity.
He even deliberately looked like a charlatan.
He was still betting on this account. However, Boss Pei's update was much more brilliant than directly posting a video.
It was meaningless to post a video to explain 'Successor'. Those who approved of it would still approve of it, and those who disapproved of it would still not approve of it. There would not be any essential difference just because Young Master Tian posted the video.
However, the effect would be different if this update put on an unfathomable charlatan.
There might be a lot of mockery, but the effect of spreading it would definitely be much better than painstakingly making a video.
Soon, this update was crazily commented and reposted.
"Huh? Someone hacked your account? "
"Why did you only post a status update? Where's the video?"
"Don't tell me it's sponsored partnerships!"
"A work that surpasses its times? The debate will automatically disappear after the entire episode is broadcasted? Don't lie to me, I've already read the original work! "
"If you didn't speak so seriously, I would have thought that you were a high-level hater …"
"Sure, leave your name in the front row. If 'Successor' really becomes popular next month, I'll do a handstand and shit my pants. Since the update won't be deleted, I'll wait for this comment to have 99 + likes!"
"Pretending to be mysterious and deliberately mystifying. Are you a hermaphrodite? Can't you make a video and explain it clearly? "
Some people were very excited and expressed that they would wait, but some opened their mouths and scolded.
Obviously, this update would be forwarded very quickly and cause a heated discussion.
Meng Chang did not particularly care about these. This account would not log in again after posting a status update. The next time they met would be January 13th.
Meng Chang had already bet everything he could. If it did not succeed, he would pretend that nothing had happened.
If it succeeded, it would prove that Boss Pei indeed had foresight that ordinary people could not. Meng Chang would also earn a lot because of his absolute trust in Boss Pei!
