March 22nd, Thursday …
Tengda Corporation's marketing department.
Meng Chang arrived at his desk early in the morning. He switched on his computer and opened the DEMO of Mission and Choice to experience it.
The working hours of the advertising and marketing department were the same as the other departments. They had a standard eight-hour working day and holidays. They could have a certain amount of flexible working time when they needed to work on a plan, but it was strictly controlled.
As the person-in-charge, Meng Chang did not need to abide by these rules. His working hours were completely casual. He could come and go as he pleased without having to clock in.
That was because he had been relying on the publicity effect of the advertising plan to get a commission. There was no need for him to clock in.
However, he had been working very diligently for eight hours a day in the past few days. That was because he had to ensure that the publicity plan for Mission and Choice was foolproof.
In the office, only a portion of the other employees in the advertising and marketing department were working hard.
That was because there was not much content to design for the marketing plan this time. Basically, they only had to modify the original promotional materials for these games. Thus, there was not enough work.
Of those who were not working, some were watching the competition, some were playing games, some were binge-watching dramas, and some were surfing the web.
Most employees in the advertising and marketing department were paying attention to the news of Tengda's various industries every day. It was mainly for the sake of their work. They hoped that they could give outstanding publicity plans at any time.
"Bunny Tail Live-Stream is doing well now. The two leagues have supported the popularity of the entire platform. Now, many gamers' first reaction is to watch Bunny Tail Live-Stream when they talk about E-Sports competitions."
"Wolf Fang's live-stream should be the most uncomfortable now. After all, they are positioned as a live-stream platform for games. It's a little sad that the live-stream cake has been snatched away."
"I have to say that Boss Pei's plan is really good."
"Indeed, the live-stream field can be considered a red sea now. Many big capitals have entered. Many platforms have burned a lot of money and were lively for a while. In the end, they could only leave dejectedly. In the end, Boss Pei entered forcefully and was still able to stand firm in the current situation. He's really too strong! "
"The key is that Boss Pei did not actually burn much money on Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Every penny was spent on the blade."
Meng Chang could not help but increase his evaluation of Boss Pei in his heart as he listened to the discussion between his two colleagues.
Meng Chang's evaluation of Boss Pei might be very high, but it did not affect him from continuing to increase. After all, it was a height that was difficult to reach.
However, Meng Chang's mentality was not too affected. He continued to focus on experiencing the DEMO of Mission and Choice.
"Strange, this game doesn't feel very fun."
"Maybe it's because I'm not a veteran gamer, so I don't know how fun it is?"
Meng Chang pinched his nose and forced himself to experience the game's DEMO repeatedly.
That was because he did not play many games, let alone real-time strategy games. It was difficult for him to experience the fun of such games.
The overall difficulty of the DEMO in Mission and Choice changed with the plot. The realistic elements were added in the middle. After adding it, the soldiers would not listen to commands and walk around.
If it was combined with the plot of the movie, this change would be very natural and would be able to stir up the players' emotions.
However, the DEMO of Mission and Choice had yet to add the movie part. Thus, Meng Chang could not understand the plot and naturally could not understand the meaning of this gameplay.
In short, Meng Chang had a hard time playing. He even had a feeling that the game would not become popular even if he casually promoted it.
However, it was a good thing that he quickly suppressed this dangerous tendency. Meng Chang was not stupid enough to use his shallow gaming experience to judge if Boss Pei's game would become popular.
In any case, it was not a problem to prepare for the worst.
After forcing himself to play Mission and Choice for a period of time, Meng Chang exited the game, intending to ease his mood.
At that moment, he saw a message from Hu Xianbin from Tengda Games.
"The official platform has already communicated with them. They have already sorted out the compilation of classic domestically-produced games. They have also communicated with the relevant companies."
"There are two more questions now: when will this compilation be released, and how are the publicity materials?"
Some of these classic domestically-produced games had already closed down. The games had already been managed by the official platform. Some of the companies were still around, but they had stopped selling for many years. Thus, the official platform casually discussed and packaged these games into a compilation and put them on the shelves.
However, this compilation was ultimately requested by Tengda Games. Thus, the official platform would be a good person to the end and let Tengda decide when this compilation would be released and what kind of publicity materials to prepare.
Meng Chang pondered for a moment. "I'll do it immediately when I'm ready. I've prepared a version of the publicity materials. I can submit it to the official platform. "
Hu Xianbin quickly replied, "Alright."
Meng Chang was in charge of the publicity plan this time. Hu Xianbin and the official platform did not have any requirements. In any case, it would be fine as long as the entire publicity event was not too ridiculous.
…
A moment later, the staff in charge of Tengda Games received the publicity materials from the advertising and marketing department.
Hu Xianbin also received a copy and clicked on it.
"This …"
He was already mentally prepared for these publicity materials but he still felt a little stunned when he saw them.
Meng Chang had already said that the publicity materials were mainly to promote these old games. However, Hu Xianbin thought that he had to repackage them and make them look better, right?
Now, it looked like Meng Chang had directly brought over the publicity materials from history. There were some slight changes but the changes were very small.
There were no changes to the game's background map, promotional slogans, and so on. However, the material had been changed to be more high-definition and exquisite. The typography had also been adjusted slightly to ensure that all the game's promotional posters had a similar structure.
Other than that, there was nothing else!
Hu Xianbin had seen the old promotional pictures of Mission and Choice in advance even though he had made some slight changes. Ninety-nine percent of the players now probably would not be able to tell.
If this publicity material were to be uploaded, everyone would probably dream back to the nineties and experience the feeling of time and space transmigration.
Hu Xianbin looked at the employee who was in contact with the advertising department. "Are you sure this is it?"
The employee nodded. "Yes, isn't that a little inappropriate? Should we ask the advertising department to change it again? "
Hu Xianbin shook his head. "Let's do this. Boss Pei has already handed the publicity plan to Meng Chang. Even if you don't believe Meng Chang, you should believe Boss Pei."
"What's more, Meng Chang has already done a few publicity plans. The effects are not bad. There should be no problem this time."
…
In the afternoon, Binhu District.
Qiao Liang had just finished eating the Fish-Catching Take-Out that was delivered regularly. He leaned against the sofa and enjoyed the warm sunlight outside.
He switched on his cell phone and checked his fan group as usual.
As expected, the fans were all asking when the new video would be released and when the live-stream would start.
Qiao Liang silently flipped through the chat records and continued pretending to be dead.
"Comrades, it's really not that I want to stand you up. It's mainly because I don't have any inspiration."
"My creative artistic work is not like a hen laying eggs. The key is still to my mood."
After comforting himself, Qiao Liang sat in front of his computer and pretended that nothing had happened. He opened the official platform and wanted to see if there were any new games recently.
"Eh? I think there's a compilation of 'classic domestically-produced games'. "
"Why are these old games from more than nine years old being brought up again? Aren't these a bunch of lousy games? "
"Oh, I get it. Perhaps it's to reminisce about the past."
Qiao Liang did not think too much about it. He clicked on the details page of these games.
"Some old games from many years ago have been put on the official platform again."
"You don't say, I quite miss it."
