Huang Sibo frowned and asked after some thought, "How should we deal with it, then?"
Zhu Xiaoce shook his head slightly. "There's nothing we can do about this.
"That's because the other party's attack is very ingenious. It was launched at a special point in time when the power balance between the two sides is unbalanced. Using such a special method to launch an attack is equivalent to taking advantage of the situation.
"Any explanation under the other party's framework is pale and powerless in the face of such a general trend.
"Unless we can jump out of the other party's framework, but that's easier said than done.
"Another very important point is that Tengda Corporation's rapid development has reached an advantageous position in many fields. This trend of monopoly will indeed cause many netizens to worry.
"This is an inevitable result of the company's development. That's because the larger the company, the more resources it has, and the greater the power it has. Naturally, it will cause vigilance.
"This is almost unsolvable. The other big companies can't solve this point. As for Tengda … I don't dare to directly conclude that Boss Pei can't solve it. After all, Boss Pei's thinking is far beyond that of ordinary people. However, I can only say that this is the most serious challenge Tengda is facing at the moment.
"Tengda's opponent is no longer a specific company, but the hearts of people."
Huang Sibo nodded.
In fact, it was already very impressive that Tengda Corporation could still maintain a balance in the battle of public opinion under such circumstances. This was the result of Tengda's continuous good deeds and accumulating reputation among netizens.
If it were any other company in such a situation, they would have been defeated and unable to recover.
It was easy for Tengda to win against a specific company. However, it was too difficult to defeat the hearts of the people and make everyone believe that Tengda Corporation could still maintain its original intentions and maintain the image of a dragon-slaying warrior even after achieving absolute dominance over the market. It would not transform into an evil dragon.
However, Huang Sibo said after some consideration, "I think the situation is very serious, but we can't say that we have no chance of winning.
"That's because Boss Pei has already made arrangements in advance.
"Boss Pei spent so much effort to produce the 'Future of Your Choice' movie and game and arranged for Tengda Corporation to be the villain. He should be preparing for today's situation.
"However, until now, we can't be sure if Boss Pei has any tricks up his sleeves.
"Under such circumstances, we can only trust Boss Pei."
At this stage of the war of public opinion, the specific tactics were no longer important. The decisive factor was the strategic planning.
Whoever could stand at a higher strategic position and see further would be able to obtain the final victory.
Tengda Corporation might be at a disadvantage so far, but no one dared to say that there was no possibility of a comeback as long as Boss Pei's plan was in place.
…
At the same time, in a small cafe near Tengda Corporation's headquarters …
Qiao Liang was anxiously waiting for Boss Pei to arrive.
After the movie was released, Qiao Liang stayed at home and pulled his hair for two whole days.
In the end, he didn't get any results!
Qiao Liang had actually released a video explaining the content of the game after the Future You Chose was released.
Qiao Liang had been very satisfied with that video, and the response had been very good.
What's more, at the end of the video, Qiao Liang boldly predicted that his video would be a fable after the movie was released. The theme of the movie should not be far from the content he analyzed.
However, after the movie was released, Qiao Liang realized that he had said that too early.
The theme of the game and the movie did not seem to match.
Although the name was the same, the theme expressed was the monopoly of large enterprises and the polarization of the rich and the poor. However, the expression and entry point of the two could be said to be worlds apart. In other words, apart from the similar theme, everything else could not be forced to be the same.
There was no way to make a video with this level of connection, let alone let Qiao Liang fulfill his previous bragging.
Seeing that many people were still urging him to update, waiting for him to release a video to properly interpret the game and the movie, Qiao Liang felt helpless.
Thus, he made up his mind to ask Boss Pei for advice.
As the source of the game and the movie and the person who understood the Tengda spirit the best, no one in the world should understand the meaning of the game and the movie better than Boss Pei.
Of course, Qiao Liang did not expect Boss Pei to drag out these meanings with him. He only wanted to get some inspiration and inspiration through a simple exchange with Boss Pei so that he could better complete this video and refute some of the comments online.
So far, the direction of the online trend had been led astray by Vinci Media. The target of the two movies was also getting closer and closer to Tengda Corporation. That was a very dangerous phenomenon.
To Qiao Liang, it was definitely on Tengda Corporation's side. That was because he was deeply infected by Boss Pei's personality and believed that Boss Pei was the person who could keep the capital in a cage.
As long as Boss Pei was around, Tengda Corporation would not deteriorate.
However, ordinary people did not know this. They might be able to feel this temperament from Tengda Corporation's style, but they had not seen Boss Pei in person after all. They had not worked together before. Under such circumstances, it was very normal to have doubts about Tengda Corporation.
Qiao Liang did not have much hope for this meeting. He only sent a message to Boss Pei and briefly explained his thoughts. He did not expect Boss Pei to readily agree and meet him in this small cafe.
Qiao Liang was already prepared. At that moment, he felt like a reporter specializing in interviews, trying to restore the truth as much as possible through a conversation with Boss Pei.
…
Pei Qian hummed a tune as he strolled into the cafe.
To him, the current situation was developing well.
Vinci Media's goal had been achieved. The target of the two movies were moving closer to Tengda Corporation. That was great news for Pei Qian.
However, the threat of Teacher Qiao had not been finally eliminated.
The videos that were released in the game had almost spoiled things. Fortunately, Vinci Media was very clear-headed and focused the public opinion on the movie. The attention on the game was relatively less.
However, Teacher Qiao could release another video at any time, combining the content of the game and the movie. Pei Qian had to be on guard.
At first, Pei Qian did not want to meet him. However, on second thought, if he let Teacher Qiao stay in his room and think hard, he might think of something ridiculous again.
Since that was the case, it was better to take the initiative to meet Teacher Qiao and reveal his true thoughts to him.
Although the truth might be very hurtful, Pei Qian felt that he had to slowly let Qiao Liang accept this painful truth.
It would be even better if he could use Teacher Qiao's mouth to convey his true intentions to all netizens.
After arriving at the cafe, Pei Qian sat opposite Qiao Liang. Both of them were already very familiar with each other, so there was not much small talk and soon got to the point.
Qiao Liang was already prepared. "Boss Pei, thank you very much for taking the time to answer my questions. Don't worry, I will only ask a few simple questions this time. I won't ask in too much detail, and I won't touch on the inner meaning of the design.
"After all, for creators, some questions need to be left blank. I understand that."
Generally speaking, creators were not willing to interpret their own works in too much detail.
The reason was very simple. Literary works were a carrier, a channel to convey ideas. Sometimes, it was because of the blank space and various ways of interpretation that there was beauty. Once the creator came out to interpret it, the beauty of the blank space would be destroyed.
Obviously, this was Boss Pei's usual style. He would never interpret his own games or movies. Instead, he would leave this important task to all netizens to complete together.
Therefore, Qiao Liang did not intend to ask in too much detail this time. He only wanted to ask a few key questions to answer his own doubts.
Pei Qian felt a little regretful.
In fact, Teacher Qiao could ask in more detail, and Pei Qian would give more detailed answers. However, to Teacher Qiao, this answer was likely to cause his worldview to collapse even more.
Pei Qian thought about it again: that's good too. I'll leave some leeway for both of us.
His answer might be very straightforward and allow Teacher Qiao to accept the cruel truth, but it should not be too straightforward and deal too much of a blow to Teacher Qiao.
Thus, he nodded. "Alright, ask away."
Qiao Liang thought for a moment and asked the first question. "Was there any deep connection between the game 'The Future You Choose' and the movie at the beginning of its creation?"
Pei Qian shook his head. "No, the only connection between the two is that the background of the entire world is roughly similar, and Tengda Corporation is the villain in it. Other than that, there is no deliberate connection. "
Qiao Liang was stunned for a moment. The first question confused him.
That was because he had preconceived ideas that there must be a deeper connection between the game and the movie. There were many deeply buried Easter eggs that could affect each other in the plot.
In the end, he did not expect Boss Pei to reject him immediately.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly and asked again, "Then, the target of the game and movie should not be Tengda Corporation itself, but some invisible existence, right?"
Pei Qian remained silent for a moment before saying, "Actually, relatively speaking, I still hope that everyone thinks that the target of criticism is Tengda Corporation itself."
Qiao Liang was stunned again because Boss Pei's answer was out of his expectations.
What's more, this question blocked many of Qiao Liang's subsequent questions.
At first, Qiao Liang thought that Tengda Corporation was just a symbolic image in the game and the movie. It was not a specific image. Many of its judgments were based on this point. However, he did not expect Boss Pei to directly reject this point.
Qiao Liang frowned slightly and asked, "However, many people have a negative impression of Tengda Corporation because of these two movies. They even treat Tengda Corporation as an imaginary enemy and anticipate the consequences of Tengda Corporation monopolizing many industries in the future. Is this within your expectations, Boss Pei? "
Pei Qian smiled slightly. "This is the original purpose of this movie and game."
