After ordering breakfast from Fish-Catching Take-Out, Qiao Liang could finally swipe his cell phone in high spirits.
Previously, he did not dare to swipe his cell phone because he was afraid of being exposed. After all, there might be spoilers everywhere in his WeChat Moments and fan groups. He would be tricked if he did not pay attention.
However, Qiao Liang had already finished reading all the plot of Mission and Choice. He was not afraid of being exposed!
It was already early in the morning. The fan groups had completely quietened down. The waves of movie tickets on WeChat Moments had also been wiped out.
There were still many posts discussing the plot of Mission and Choice on various forums. However, most of these forums would label the posts as' containing spoilers' to prevent these posts from affecting netizens who had not watched the movie.
Qiao Liang flipped through the chat records of his fan group and then looked at the posts discussing the plot of Mission and Choice online.
"Indeed, great minds think alike. Everyone can tell that this film is very good!"
"However, everyone's praising this film is a little repetitive. We have to wait for professional film critics to flatter us."
Qiao Liang flipped through the posts online, still immersed in the aftertaste of Mission and Choice's plot.
However, the words that netizens used to praise Mission and Choice were still too lacking. They were all words like 'awesome' and did not have much substance. One would feel a little tired of aesthetics after reading too much.
It was more interesting to watch the professional analysis of professional film critics.
That was because Mission and Choice did not have a pre-screening, professional film critics could not see the pre-screening before it was released. Naturally, they could not write reviews in advance.
He reckoned that the reputation of Mission and Choice would only explode after noon.
By then, the audience in Bai Tianchang would have already seen the plot. All sorts of reviews would be released, and the ratings would stabilize. The movie 'Mission and Choice' would definitely usher in a new craze.
Qiao Liang continued flipping through the posts on the forum and suddenly realized a problem.
"Eh, why aren't many people mentioning the game?"
It was fine if it was the movie forum, but most of the posts about Mission and Choice in the game forum were discussing the movie!
"Has everyone watched Tengda's new movie, 'Mission and Choice'? It's so good! I didn't expect this classic domestically-produced trash game to have such a day! "
"I did, but I was even more puzzled after watching it. Isn't this theme more suitable for games? Why did they choose to make a movie? "
"Perhaps the game will be released soon?"
"Maybe they thought that RTS games were already dead, and that it wouldn't make money, so they didn't do it? After all, the movie can still earn money at the box office. "
"I don't believe that a business genius like Boss Pei can't make money."
Qiao Liang was anxious and amused to see these people discussing here.
You're still trying to guess when the game will come out?
It's already out, it's just that you haven't discovered it yet!
Qiao Liang's first feeling was that this was quite ridiculous. At least millions of loyal players of standalone games in the country were staring at Tengda Games. In the end, not a single person discovered Mission and Choice? Did he manage to get it?
That's a little ridiculous!
However, on further thought, Qiao Liang realized that it made sense. That was because Tengda's operation was equivalent to a huge filter that filtered several layers.
If he wanted to discover the remake of Mission and Choice immediately like Qiao Liang, he had to satisfy the following points.
First, he had to buy the original version of 'Mission and Choice' in the 'classic domestically-produced game compilation'.
Second, he had to retain the game itself after purchasing it. He could not delete it.
Finally, in the wee hours of this morning, he had to check the updates pushed by Mission and Choice or activate the automatic update and notice the download content. Only then would he know that the original client of Mission and Choice had been replaced!
The first message had already wiped out 99% of the players. Everyone's money did not come from nowhere. They all knew that Mission and Choice was an extremely trashy game. They could buy some discounted 3A games at the same price. Who would buy this trashy game?
If they had too much money, they could waste it. At least they could hear it. What was the point of buying a trashy game?
The second and third messages were also quite difficult. That was because even if they bought it for collection, there was no need to keep its client in the computer, much less pay attention to its updates. That was because all players knew that the company had closed down. No one would update the game.
What's more, it was wee hours now.
This update package was pushed out at around midnight. It should be at the same time as the movie.
Those players who were really paying attention should have gone to the cinema to watch the movie immediately. Those who did not buy tickets should have gone to bed.
Players like Qiao Liang who accidentally opened the original version of Mission and Choice should be one in a million.
Obviously, it would take a long time for other players to discover the update of Mission and Choice if not for Qiao Liang.
Qiao Liang was instantly excited at that thought.
"Indeed, I'm Boss Pei's soulmate!"
"Why did Boss Pei put in so much effort to make so many arrangements?"
"In order to prevent gamers from discovering the remake of Mission and Choice? To save money for everyone? "
"How is that possible!"
"It must be to give everyone a surprise!"
"It would be more ritualistic to appear in such a way!"
Qiao Liang suddenly understood Boss Pei's intentions.
Most people would not connect it to Mission and Choice Remake if they only released a single game called 'Mission and Choice Remake'. Instead, they would think that they were two completely different games.
However, Boss Pei's cleverness was to let 'Mission and Choice Remake' be reborn on the corpse of 'Mission and Choice'. That had a very strong symbolic meaning!
It symbolized the end of the humiliating era more than ten years ago, the rebirth of the game Mission and Choice, and the arrival of a new era to all gamers!
All of these were hidden in the 'classic domestically-produced game compilation', hidden in the game Mission and Choice, waiting for gamers to discover them.
At that thought, Qiao Liang decided to post on Weibo.
"Thank you for the gift that Boss Pei gave to all domestically-produced standalone gamers on this special day!"
Then, he took a screenshot from his computer. It was the current game capacity of Mission and Choice, which was dozens of gigabytes. He posted it below the Weibo post.
The takeaway arrived after he posted on Weibo.
After Qiao Liang finished his breakfast, he felt relaxed and went to sleep happily.
He had already completed his mission and let all domestically-produced gamers know about the existence of the remake of Mission and Choice.
Next, he had to rest well and conserve his energy. After waking up, he would have lunch and then watch the movie 'Mission and Choice'. After watching the movie, he would play 'Fantasy Battle Remake'. Finally, he would release the Products of the Gods.
It was a perfect arrangement!
Qiao Liang was satisfied. He lay on his bed and quickly fell asleep.
In his dream, he seemed to have seen domestically-produced standalone games flourishing, all sorts of AAA masterpieces appearing frequently, and occupying a place in the world's gaming circle …
…
At the same time, Pei Qian had just woken up.
He looked at his watch. It was 8 AM.
Today was Saturday, and he should have had a good sleep. However, Pei Qian tossed and turned in bed for a long time, but he was not sleepy at all.
He was simply worried!
He had specially slept at 11 AM yesterday. He did not watch the midnight premiere of Mission and Choice, nor did he pay attention to the discussions online.
He turned off his cell phone and pretended to be an ostrich. He was afraid that the scene of him crying in the cinema would happen again.
If nothing went wrong, the movie 'Mission and Choice' would have been released in the early hours of this morning. The game would have been updated.
"The game should be able to last for two or three days since it's hidden so deeply, right?"
"I have to worry about the movie, but the screening rate is not high and there is very little publicity. Even if there is some reputation, it should not be a big problem as long as it does not break the circle."
At this point, Pei Qian could only comfort himself.
After washing up, he sat on the sofa and took his cell phone. However, he hesitated again.
He felt nervous as if he was checking his results after an exam.
The difference was that the lower the score, the more uncomfortable Pei Qian would feel, and the better his results, the more uncomfortable he would feel …
Pei Qian could not help but think of the publicity strategy from a while ago.
"Meng Chang is really good-looking but useless. He was as fierce as a tiger at the beginning, but he suddenly dropped the ball at the end!"
"He even patted his chest and asked me to believe him. Why would I believe him!"
"Forget it, forget it. He's not useless at all. At least the popularity in the early stages was suppressed. In any case, he was the one who was deducted, not mine …"
Pei Qian was furious at the thought of the publicity work in the early stages of Mission and Choice.
Meng Chang looked like he knew his brother very well. He had been patting his chest and taking on all the publicity work. It was indeed very smooth at the beginning, but when the movie was about to be released, he suddenly collapsed!
First, it was Vinci Media's Weibo, and then GOG's new hero. The popularity that had been suppressed with much difficulty suddenly rose again!
Pei Qian saw it and was anxious, but he could not interfere.
He could only comfort himself that Meng Chang should know what to do. He was probably in seclusion now to think of countermeasures.
Pei Qian switched on his cell phone after a long time of mental preparation.
All sorts of information began to bombard him not long after he switched it on!
"Boss Pei, congratulations. The movie's reputation has exploded. It's a godly work!"
"The movie's attendance rate today is very good. The cinema chains are already giving us more screenings!"
"# Lu Zhiyao's acting skills # is trending again!"
"Lu Zhiyao and AEEIS's lines at the end of the movie were very popular. Our Fully-Automated Intelligent Bickering Machine is selling like crazy again!"
"Boss Pei, your method of stuffing the remake of Mission and Choice into the original game is really amazing! Gamers are discussing it now. In just a few hours, you managed to push Mission and Choice to the top five of the official platform's hot sales chart. I'm afraid it'll only be a matter of minutes before it reaches first place! "
Some of these messages were from the heads of the various departments, as well as from friends like Lin Chang and Wu Yue. In short, they were all good news!
The most ridiculous were the messages that Lin Chang had sent in the early hours of yesterday.
"Boss Pei, are you watching the midnight show? The movie is about to start! "
"[Picture] (The cinema is full)"
More than two hours later.
"Godly! This movie is simply godly! "
"Needless to say, this movie will definitely be popular!"
"Boss Pei, the last plot was simply godly. It was reversed again and again. I really didn't expect Captain Qin Yi to be betrayed in the end and become the ruler of the Zergs! Can you tell us what's going to happen next? I can't wait to watch the sequel! "
"Lu Zhiyao can actually act so well in a one-man show. That's really unexpected!"
A few minutes later, Lin Chang called Pei Qian and realized that his cell phone was switched off.
"Boss Pei, are you already asleep? Your confidence is really admirable … "
"That's right, I'll be in Jingzhou tomorrow afternoon. Boss Pei, you must come and have a drink with me. The Old Master has new instructions regarding Ah Wan. He asked me to communicate with him. "
Pei Qian fell silent after reading the long chat record.
Qin Yi was betrayed in the end and became the ruler of the Zergs?
Am I … being spoiled?
He had never watched the movie 'Mission and Choice' in its entirety. He had not watched the movie at midnight yesterday either. Thus, he did not know what the specific plot was until now.
In the end, Lin Chang spilled the beans on the entire plot …
Obviously, Lin Chang would not have thought that Boss Pei, the boss of Tengda Corporation, the source of creativity for movies, and the gold medal screenwriter, would not know the plot of Mission and Choice …
At first, Pei Qian did not want to bother with him. Mission and Choice suddenly had a good start. Pei Qian was feeling upset. How could he be in the mood to eat with him?
However, seeing that Lin Chang was talking about Lin Wan, Pei Qian thought about it and felt that he should meet her.
What if the Old Master had suddenly been enlightened and was prepared to let Lin Wan go back to inherit the family business?
Take Lin Wan away quickly. I really can't take it anymore!
Ever since Pei Qian arranged for Lin Wan to work at Shang Yang Games, she had successfully completed several projects. Although she did not have a strong presence in these projects, her resume was already very good.
However, the more successful projects there were, the more flustered Pei Qian became.
Pei Qian felt that he should put in a good word for Lin Wan in front of Lin Chang this time. At the same time, he should hint to Old Master Lin: Lin Wan already has the ability to take charge of things on her own. It's time for her to go back and share your worries!
At that thought, Pei Qian immediately replied, "Alright, see you at noon!"
