August 5th, Monday …
Shenzhen City.
Hu Xiao sat at home and was busy explaining the new mission to his brothers in the Water Army.
It was just 8 am and Hu Xiao was already bombarding the group with messages.
"Time to work, time to work!"
"Have all of you returned to your posts? Type 1 for me if you've arrived. "
"Those who haven't replied within half an hour will be treated as late!"
At Hu Xiao's command, all sorts of "11111" popped up in the group of fake reviewers. Clearly, the well-trained fake reviewers were already in their respective positions.
Hu Xiao was very satisfied with this.
These people were all trained by him, and they were all well-trained. Although they were working from home, they were all punctual and did better than many office workers.
After all, they were working from home. There was no need to rush for the subway or bus. There was no reason for them to be late.
When almost everyone had arrived, Hu Xiao said in the group, "Everyone, keep your eyes peeled. Today's mission was given to us by an old customer. He's a very generous customer. Although he had used the previous discount this time, everyone had to complete the mission perfectly! Do you understand? "
Another wave of "understood" popped up in the group.
Hu Xiao continued, "I've already sent the mission information to your mailbox. Check it yourself. To put it simply, it's giving a bad review to a game called 'Measure Suits'. "
"Of course, not all of them are brainless one-star reviews. That would be too obvious. We must try to give it a right-angled triangle or C-shaped structure. That would be more confusing.
"Everyone, go and give different reviews according to your roles. However, all the reviews must follow the same principle, which is to attack the game for its poor gameplay.
"As for how to attack it, everyone is experienced. I don't need to elaborate, right?"
The fake reviewers in the group were all eager to give it a try.
"Don't worry, we know what to do!"
"Game reviews have a set of specific templates. Just follow the template."
"We can either directly criticize the game, or we can use high-level criticism. We're all familiar with these tactics!"
Hu Xiao was elated. "Alright! Let's get ready while it's still early. "
"Once the game is released, I'll spread these negative reviews as soon as possible. Whether it's the official website, other forums, or social media platforms, don't miss it. "
"If there's a Fish-Catching Internet Cafe or New Bird Interactive Entertainment Experience Museum nearby, you can log in there and leave a few bad reviews. That would make the game look more realistic."
"There aren't many players right now, so negative reviews will have the most realistic effect. Everyone, hurry up and don't dilly-dally. "
Regardless of whether it was a game or a movie, it would be most effective to leave negative reviews right after the game was released.
This was because at this time, netizens who had played games or watched movies were still in the minority. Most of them were onlookers who did not know the truth and were most easily misled by the fake reviewers.
One of the fake reviewers raised a question, "Wouldn't it be too obvious to post these negative reviews too early? Also, if we kill too many players in the early stages, it will increase the popularity of the game. "
Hu Xiao said, "It doesn't matter. The developer of this game isn't a fool. After the game is released, there will definitely be a large-scale publicity campaign. Let's make an advance and coincide with this publicity campaign."
"When the time comes, the gamers will see our bad reviews as soon as they start paying attention to the game. Our timing is perfect."
The fake reviewers expressed that they had learned another trick and went to do their own things.
According to the information given by the customers, the game 'Tailor to Measure' should be released at 10 AM this morning.
Hu Xiao did not know why the game chose such a strange time to be released on Monday at 10 AM. However, since Slow Movement Workspace chose to do so, there must be a reason for it. The corresponding publicity resources would definitely not be lacking.
…
12 PM …
Hu Xiao finished his lunch and opened the webpage to see the results of the fake reviewers today.
In the end, Hu Xiao suddenly realized that something was amiss when he opened the various forums and looked at the netizens' comments on 'Tailor to Measure'.
"Has Slow Movement Workspace's new game been released? Why didn't I know! "
"That's right. I only found out after seeing many people scolding online today that the new game, 'Tailor to Measure', has been released. What's more, it's a game that allows one to design clothes."
"The official website seems to have quietly updated a new version of the VR glasses. This time, it's actually the 8K version. This configuration shocked me. Of course, the price also shocked me."
"Why is Slow Movement Workspace so low-key? The game was released without any publicity. If not for the fact that many people were scolding them online, I wouldn't have known that they released a new game. "
"These people's opinions are so unified. They keep saying that the gameplay of this game is bad. Are they fake reviewers?"
"It looks like it. Even though their words are different, they are all attacking the gameplay. This is a little strange. However, it can be considered as attacking the main point. However, it's too fast. Most players don't even know about this, much less experience the game. Where did they get the news? "
"Maybe it's a closed beta player?"
"I didn't hear that there were so many closed beta players in this game! What's more, these comments did not mention their closed beta. Logically speaking, if they were really closed beta players, they should have identified themselves when they commented, right? "
"It's most likely that the competitors attacked in advance. In the end, they did not cooperate well with Slow Movement Workspace."
"Then, wouldn't they be exposed?"
"So, how is this game?"
"Look, the fake reviewers can only attack its gameplay. That means that they have done everything else perfectly. What's more, in my opinion, this game is actually quite fun. It's just that it doesn't have the usual gameplay fun. It's different from other games. It depends on the person. I suggest that you experience it yourself to know! "
Hu Xiao was stunned when he saw the netizens' comments.
He quickly found the customer this time. Before he could think of a way to explain, the other party had already sent an angry question.
"What's going on?"
"I thought you were professional fake reviewers and wouldn't make such a low-level mistake."
"In the end, before the game's popularity even rose, you guys let the whole world know about it!"
From the message sent by this customer, he seemed to be very angry.
Hu Xiao felt wronged as well. He quickly explained, "It was an accident! It was definitely an accident! "
"Our original plan was quite good. We immediately started the fake reviewers' activities when the game was released. Normally, the official platform would spend some publicity resources to warm up the game when it was released. There would be a certain amount of advance. "
"Therefore, under normal circumstances, our activities should be carried out at the same time as the official publicity resources. The netizens would be able to see our bad reviews the moment the popularity rises. It wouldn't be too abrupt. "
"In the end, I didn't expect Slow Movement Studio to be so unethical. They released the game, but they didn't arrange any publicity resources in the early stages! "
"How could we have expected such a huge game company to release the game naked?"
Hu Xiao explained and waited patiently for the other party's reply.
After a long time, the other party replied reluctantly. "Alright."
Hu Xiao heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like his sincerity had moved the customer. This meant that there was still room for redemption.
Thus, he quickly continued to work hard. "Don't worry. You're our old customer. We'll definitely guarantee the quality of service!"
"How about this? In order to make up for your loss, we'll hire a game reviewer with a certain amount of influence for free to publish a game review of 'Tailor-Made'. We'll discuss the gameplay problems of this game. We'll definitely make sure you're satisfied!"
The customer was silent for a while before replying, "Do you want more money?"
Hu Xiao quickly replied with a shaking head emoji. "There's no need at all! We're giving this to you for free to make up for our mistakes in our work. "
The customer immediately replied, "Alright, thank you."
Hu Xiao finally heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he would make such a blunder by planning ahead. He quickly went online to find a game reviewer he was familiar with and prepared to spend money to hire him to write a negative article to properly discredit the game 'Tailor-Made' and save the image of his fake reviewers in the eyes of customers.
…
On the other side, Pei Qian closed the chat interface, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
He did not expect the fake reviewers to be ahead of time and perfectly miss the popularity of the game!
Indeed, he could not blame the fake reviewers for being unprofessional. It was precisely because the fake reviewers were too professional that such a blunder occurred.
It was not that Slow Movement Studio did not want to do initial publicity, but it was mainly because Pei Qian had affected them too much. Now, they did not care about initial publicity at all.
In other words, it was completely Tengda.
Tengda Corporation's publicity strategy was that there was no strategy or method. No move was better than a move. Boss Pei was already being merciful as long as they did not do any reverse publicity!
As the company that carried out the Tengda spirit the most thoroughly, Slow Movement Studio naturally learned this marketing strategy.
At first, Pei Qian had to remind Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong not to do too much publicity in the early stages. Now, he did not need to remind them. Lin Wan and Cai Jiadong were already used to this inexplicable explosion of popularity.
However, fortunately, it was a blessing in disguise. The fake reviewers company agreed to send a high-quality negative article for free.
This kind of article was written by a famous game reviewer on the internet. Such a negative article was even more useful than thousands of replies from fake reviewers!
Pei Qian felt that he should have profited!
Indeed, freeloading was the most comfortable!
He did not know how useful such a negative article could be, but it was better than nothing. He hoped that this game reviewer would be able to grasp the shortcomings of 'Tailor-Made' in terms of gameplay and directly attack with a heavy fist. He would be able to kill everyone and delay the popularity of this game for at least half a year.
