Pei Qian fell into a long silence after watching Qiao Liang's video.
It was not that he felt that Qiao Liang's words made sense, but he was shocked by his endless bragging!
This Teacher Qiao seemed to always be able to come up with new tricks!
In fact, Pei Qian did not think that Mission and Choice would have a huge reversal like Repent and be Saved or Struggle.
After all, Mission and Choice might have subverted the traditional RTS gameplay in terms of gameplay, but this subversion was still within the gamers' understanding. It would not cause huge controversy at the beginning of its release like Repent and be Saved and Struggle.
What's more, the main hot topic of discussion in the early stages of Mission and Choice was its plot.
Thus, Pei Qian thought that this was the end of his bragging after seeing the early gamers' comments.
The plot, gameplay, graphics, and so on had all been exaggerated. What else could he boast about?
Even if Teacher Qiao released a video, he would at most repeat these aspects, right?
However, he did not expect Qiao Liang to find a new angle!
This time, Qiao Liang emphasized two things. One was the 'milestone', and the other was the 'production model'.
The milestone meant that Mission and Choice was a symbol of the weakness of domestically-produced games when compared to Fantasy Battle. Now, the comparison between Mission and Choice and Fantasy Battle Remake was a symbol of the rapid rise of domestically-produced games!
This was an important milestone for the development of domestically-produced games.
On the other hand, the production model referred to the game production model that had begun to break away from the unstable creation model of a small workshop that relied on the designer's inspiration. It gradually moved towards a heavy industrial creation model where various departments divided their work and steadily produced high-quality works.
Once these two points were thrown out, the entire concept of the video was raised!
That was because this video was not analyzing the game 'Mission and Choice' itself. Instead, it jumped out of the limitations of thinking and raised it to the height of the entire domestic games circle.
For example, the fifteenth year of the Wanli calendar looked like an ordinary year. However, historians saw various signs of the rise and fall of the dynasty through what happened in this year. Then, this year would be recorded in history as a key node. Every detail would be studied repeatedly as an entry point!
The more Pei Qian watched, the colder his heart became.
This Teacher Qiao is trying to kill me!
From the looks of it, he can't wait to erect a monument for me?
A few words were engraved on it: Boss Pei, the savior of domestically-produced games, is immortal?
Don't mess it up!
If this monument was really erected, would they still be able to make losses in future games? In that case, the domestic players would have no choice but to buy like crazy.
"Handsome and wise gamers, please don't listen to his nonsense!" Pei Qian prayed in his heart.
However, when he browsed through the comments and bullet screen comments, his heart became even colder.
"That makes a lot of sense! I didn't know that there was such a thing as industrialized movies and games! "
"Actually, I had a vague feeling that this game was different from Tengda's previous games, but I couldn't put my finger on it. After watching this video, I understand. This is what I want to say! "
"From the looks of it, the release of Mission and Choice is really a matter of great historical significance! Perhaps when my grandson asks in the future, I can even proudly say that the original 'Mission and Choice' symbolizes the dark age of domestically-produced games, and the remake of 'Mission and Choice' symbolizes the glorious age of domestically-produced games! "
"Let's not talk about this anymore. This is a game of great significance. I must buy it all!"
"I'll recommend it to my friends right now!"
"…"
He wanted to cry but had no tears when he saw these comments. His heart was burning with anxiety.
He could consider taking the blame for anything else, but he could not take the blame for the 'domestically-produced games development milestone'!
Once he took the blame, all the games in the future would be under the spotlight. They would become popular before they even launched. Would they still lose money?
One had to know that Tengda Games was the core business department of Tengda Corporation. It earned the most money. It might be as difficult as ascending to the heavens to incur losses now, but there was still a chance.
If he really took the blame for the 'milestone', it would be impossible for him to incur losses in the future!
What should he do?
Pei Qian's mind raced as he thought of countermeasures.
He scrolled through the comments at the bottom of the video and finally found some dissenting voices.
These objections felt that Teacher Qiao was going too far.
The game was a good game, but it was nonsense to say that it was a 'milestone for domestically-produced games' and 'the beginning of heavy industrial games'.
There was one comment that Pei Qian wished he could be a confidant.
"I think Old Qiao's video today is a little far-fetched! As far as I know, most games companies' development processes are fixed. Most of Tengda's previous games had the same development process. Why did it become 'industrialization mode' when it came to Mission and Choice? The game is a good game, but it's not good to brag. I think even Boss Pei did not think so far ahead. He only turned ideas into games one by one. In the end, the fans thought too much. "
Pei Qian was almost moved to tears.
This brother is really my bosom friend!
To be honest, Boss Pei had just found out about the 'industrialization model'!
However, such a good comment had a mediocre response. There were even many people objecting.
Obviously, most of the audience still believed Qiao Liang's words in the video. They felt that the 'milestone' and 'industrialization model' were intentional by Boss Pei.
How do you make sure that good comments that reflect the truth are not buried?
Pei Qian fell into deep thought.
The first thing he thought of was to clarify it publicly.
The official platform would issue an announcement and say that Mission and Choice did not intend to bear the historical significance of a 'milestone' and had nothing to do with the 'industrialization model'?
However, on further thought, Pei Qian realized that it did not seem feasible.
That was because it would easily have the effect of trying to cover things up. Previously, he had released too much fake news in his official capacity. Players were not buying it …
For example, Struggle had deliberately used publicity materials to mislead players previously, and Mission and Choice had deliberately misled players on Fitness Battle before it was released. Similar things had happened many times.
What's more, every time he released fake news, players would interpret it differently.
It was like shouting 'the wolf is coming'. No one would believe it if he shouted it too many times!
If the official platform clarified this time, players might think that the official platform was being humble. Instead, it would strengthen players' understanding!
Thus, the credibility of the official account was already rotten and useless.
Pei Qian thought about it again. Since the official channel could not work, he could only take the unofficial channel.
Buy fake reviewers!
Recently, Pei Qian had rarely bought fake reviewers. The main reason was that Tengda Corporation was getting bigger and bigger. If he wanted to buy fake reviewers to be effective, he would need more and more money. Pei Qian could not afford to pay out of his own pocket.
However, the situation was different this time.
Qiao Liang's theory had not spread yet. It was only limited to his video. Based on Pei Qian's previous experience, Qiao Liang's video might break the circle, but it would take a certain amount of time.
It might take a day or two to rush to the top of the gaming leaderboard. It might take three to five days or even longer to rush to the top of the entire website or produce the effect of breaking the circle and go viral on various websites.
Then, during this period of time, he could hire fake reviewers to focus on attacking the comment section of the video and create the impression that "this video is a little exaggerated". That way, he could influence and guide public opinion to a certain extent, thereby reducing the negative impact that this video might bring!
Time was of the essence and there was no time to lose.
Pei Qian made up his mind and immediately found Shaohu Reviews' Hu Xiao's contact information. He prepared to discuss buying fake reviewers with him.
As the head of a professional fake reviewers, Hu Xiao was basically online all day long apart from sleeping. That was why Pei Qian managed to contact him very quickly.
The last time they worked together was when Tomorrow is Beautiful was released. After such a long time, Hu Xiao almost thought that he had lost this big customer.
Of course, he was overjoyed to see this mysterious customer knocking on his door again.
Pei Qian did not make any small talk and directly stated his request. "I want to hire fake reviewers to attack the comment section of this video. [Webpage link]
"In terms of content, I've thought of some simple content. Get the fake reviewers to work around this content. [Text document]
"I want to buy high-end fake reviewers. The kind that no one can tell. Do you understand?"
Hu Xiao clicked on the webpage link and looked a little disappointed.
That was it?
Previously, when they worked together, the scope of the battlefield was all over the internet. In the end, the battlefield this time was limited to a video on Aili Island?
That did not feel right.
However, Hu Xiao was a very professional person. Since it was business, there was no need for him to complain. He would just take the money and do the work.
He opened the text document again and realized that there were hundreds of words in it. They were all about the concepts of "domestically-produced games milestones" and "industrialization model".
For example, he gave a few good games and thought that they were more qualified to be called "domestically-produced games milestones"; after analyzing Mission and Choice, he thought that it was still far from being a "milestone"; he thought that "industrialization model games" was a pseudo-concept; Mission and Choice did not achieve "industrialization model" at all, and so on.
The views in this text document were different. For example, some thought that the "industrialization model" was a fake concept that was not applicable in the game field. Some thought that the "industrialization model" was applicable in the game field, but Mission and Choice did not do it at all.
In fact, these views seemed different, but they all had the same goal: to completely separate Mission and Choice from the concepts of "milestone" and "industrialization model"!
