Chapter 060 "Another Possibility" Promotional Video 1
Tuesday, May 6th.
After returning from the base in the wilderness, Chen She equipped all the resistance fighters with shackle bracelets, which alleviated the inventory pressure to a certain extent.
This will free up inventory and allow more products to be produced and stockpiled.
So far, the Shackle Bracelet and the Rising from the Coffin Gaming Cabin have not been in demand, and not a single one has been sold.
Being able to accomplish such a feat can be said to be quite outrageous.
In this process, Fujido Group played an indispensable role.
After the launch of Lishan Technology's new products, Fujido Group immediately announced the next day that all the bracelets and Mewtwo game cabins they were selling had been reduced in price.
Who would choose underworld products like shackle bracelets and coffin-lifting game cabins when there are more affordable and better products?
There were a few technology media outlets that very tactfully expressed their desire to get a device for free and review it, but were flatly rejected by Chen She.
Are you kidding? You want to get it for free? That's definitely not possible.
Just pay up and buy it. Even the technology media have to pay.
Chen She was not in a hurry at all, because the Chen Group had not faced any financial pressure at present. The subsequent income from "Embers Will Die" was sufficient to support the losses of the Shackle Bracelet and the Coffin Game Cabin.
So Chen She was calmer than anyone else.
At this time, Chen She was in the research and development department of Mewtwo, preparing with Li Yunhan and Lin Luxi to finalize the promotional materials for Mewtwo "Another Possibility" as well as related preparations before its release.
Li Yunhan said: "The brothers in the testing group have run this Super Dream many times."
"Overall, there are no major problems, but in their opinion, there doesn't seem to be any big bright spots either."
“It’s a bit too bland.”
"After all, there aren't any big scenes in Mewtwo, just some scenes from daily life."
"They were full of praise for the delicious food, especially the seafood dinner."
"In addition, we also produced a batch of black Mewtwo. They have 100% emotion transmission effects and can guarantee the most realistic experience."
"But I'm worried whether this batch of Black Mewtwo can be sold."
"If the official version of Mewtwo is not well promoted and has poor sales, and cannot generate enough popularity, then even if we find a channel, we will definitely not be able to sell Black Mewtwo. After all, these Black Mewtwo also consume a lot of space-time particles, and the price is more expensive than the regular physical version of Mewtwo."
Even Li Yunhan, who has been through many battles and seen a lot of the world, feels that the future of this Super Dream is uncertain.
The main reason is that many of Mr. Chen’s designs are too advanced and even violate the basic principles of Mewtwo design.
Especially the problem of Black Chaomeng made Li Yunhan most worried.
The original reason for deciding to produce Black Mewtwo was very simple, which was to give players the most authentic and real experience and to convey 100% real emotions.
In this way, the subtle psychological fluctuations in the hearts of the four actors can be accurately captured by players and audiences.
But the problem is that Black Mewtwo does not have a mature publicity and promotion channel.
For regular Mewtwo, a digital version can be released. The data of the digital version is easier to promote, and then the physical version can be released, step by step.
But it is not the case with Black Mewtwo. It can only be sold through some Black Mewtwo merchants on the roadside and various irregular gray channels.
Whether Black Mewtwo can be sold depends mainly on whether the original Mewtwo is well-known enough.
If Mewtwo wasn't well-known in the first place, who would spend money to buy Black Mewtwo?
So the problem became a vicious circle. Li Yunhan felt that the risk was too great and he could not bear it.
Chen She smiled slightly. This young man just didn't have good psychological quality.
It’s no big deal.
If you always think about success, you will definitely be under great pressure and lose your appetite.
But if you never think about success, your mentality will become very healthy and no one can defeat you.
Chen She said: "Well, now that things have come to this, there is no need to dwell on them. Things will work out when the time comes."
"Let's take a look at the promotion and release arrangements for this Mewtwo first."
Li Yunhan nodded and introduced: "If we follow the basic process of experiential Mewtwo, we should first take out a batch of physical versions of Mewtwo and conduct pilot experiences in major Mewtwo experience stores."
"At the same time, we are also collecting feedback from players and viewers through the digital version online and investing in promotional resources to warm up the market."
“If there are some big-name stars during the filming of Mewtwo, we can also develop some publicity strategies around the stars.”
"But we don't have it, so we have to skip this step."
"As for the promotional slogan for this Mewtwo, this is what I thought."
“We should focus on showing the richly detailed parallel world depicted in the super dream game “Another Possibility” and highlight this unique worldview as much as possible. This will attract the audience.”
“You can use a slogan like ‘Travel through a parallel world and experience another life’.”
"In addition, we can also edit a promotional video and include some clips from the game for players to experience first."
"I think it would be a good idea to edit some scenes from the boss's daily life. After all, it would be fun to put ourselves in the shoes of a rich person. This is a timeless pleasure for many Mewtwo players and should bring us a lot of traffic in the early stages."
After hearing what Li Yunhan said, Chen She couldn't help but frown.
My estimation was correct; Li Yunhan was indeed my nemesis.
It sounds like this arrangement is well organized. If we consider the remaining popularity of "Embers of Desolation" and the reputation of Lishan Technology among players, the new Mewtwo "Another Possibility" will probably receive widespread attention as soon as it goes online.
If it becomes popular again, it will definitely trigger even more crazy revenge from Changye Entertainment Group. How can this be allowed?
In the early stage, you should keep a low profile as much as possible.
When Chen She created this Mewtwo, he didn't expect it to become popular right from the start, but he hoped that it could influence people's thoughts in a subtle way.
So Li Yunhan’s approach definitely won’t work.
Chen She could only unreasonably activate his own plug-in aura and combine it with his own great deception skills to make the promotion of this Mewtwo as much as possible in the way he wanted.
Chen She shook his head slightly and said, "Too conservative, too conservative!"
"How can such a conservative promotional method be worthy of our subversive and revolutionary Mewtwo?"
"You should still do it my way."
Li Yunhan couldn't help but stand in awe, thinking that Mr. Chen was worthy of being the producer of "Embers Are Going Out" and the gold medal producer who innovated the Mewtwo industry. He even had a publicity plan in mind.
He said, "Mr. Chen, please tell me. I am all ears."
Chen She coughed twice and said, "It is not necessary to send the physical version of Mewtwo to various Mewtwo experience stores for trial experience. This process is too long. It will take at least one or two weeks to transport the physical version of Mewtwo and collect feedback."
"Since we are confident in our own Mewtwo, why waste a week or two?"
“As for the digital version, it can be directly launched online without so much preparation. I think we should give a surprise to the players and viewers who support us. When they are playing "Embers of Desolation", they suddenly find that there is a new Mewtwo to experience. Isn't this a wonderful feeling?”
"Although we don't have big-name stars, we still need to promote the actors. After all, the main focus of our Mewtwo is the emotional experience, so how can we not introduce the actors?"
"Of course I also knew that the other three people were definitely not qualified for this job, so I had no choice but to do it myself."
"But there's no need to interview just me. You two producers can also come on. I'll contact Skynet Group to do a special promotion."
"Of course you have to come up with a slogan and a promotional video, but I don't think the promotional plan you made is very appropriate."
"I think focusing the slogan on the basic structure of this parallel world may be counterproductive. After all, most people are still full of yearning for a world without time and space activities. They think it is a very beautiful pastoral era."
"But what we show in Mewtwo is a world full of sin and ugliness. It's not that beautiful."
"In the same way, we put a lot of effort into editing the boss' scenes in the promotional video, making everyone mistakenly believe that this is a Mewtwo who eats, drinks and has fun. But after they come in, they have to experience the life of a beggar and a gangster. Isn't this false propaganda?"
"It will definitely cause a huge psychological gap for them."
"So I think this plan is completely wrong in direction and should never be used."
"As for the slogan, I think it would be better to be more direct, and call it 'Exposing the Ugly Pastoral World'. Although this may make players and viewers unacceptable at first reaction, at least it clearly states the theme of Mewtwo, which is more sincere."
"As for the promotional videos, we edited more scenes of suffering. For example, homeless people picking up garbage, making fire under the overpass and suffering from cold and hunger, gang thugs being chopped during a fight, and vendors being beaten and bullied."
"All these plots were edited into the film. For the audience, it can be said that it is a bitter experience followed by sweetness."
"If you let them experience the boss's plot first, and then suffer again after entering the game, no one will be able to tolerate it."
"But if, on the other hand, you let them suffer in the trailer first and prepare themselves mentally, then when they enter the operation and experience the boss's plot, the pleasure will be multiplied."
“Isn’t this plan much better?”
Li Yunhan blinked in confusion: "Really...?"
At this moment, he felt somewhat conflicted. On the one hand, he felt that what Mr. Chen said made sense, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that something was not right.
It feels like I have been wavering between the two options for many times, and I am confused. It seems that both of them are right, but neither of them is right. I am in a state of confusion and chaos.
For example, the slogan "Expose the ugly pastoral world" is indeed very direct, but isn't Mr. Chen afraid that this slogan will directly discourage the majority of viewers and players?
For example, the plan of "bitter first, sweet later" sounds fine, but how can Mr. Chen be sure that the bitterness in the promotional video will not have a strong dissuading effect?
What if most people experience the bitter parts in the trailer and leave cursing, and don't even pay to buy the official version of Mewtwo, then wouldn't everything be ruined?
In short, Li Yunhan felt that his usually smart brain had become a little stuck, his thinking was stagnant, and in chaos.
Chen She was secretly shocked. It was true that Li Yunhan was not easy to fool. He had to put in a lot of effort every time to fool him.
It seems that I really need to increase the level of energy fluctuation. After all, after the upgrade, the passive aura of the Cursed Scholar on my body will also be upgraded, and then I will be able to fool people more easily.
Chen She looked at Lin Luxi: "Xiaolu, what do you think?"
Lin Luxi said very firmly: "Mr. Chen, of course I will listen to you."
Chen She looked at Li Yunhan with a smile again.
Li Yunhan had a very conflicted expression on his face, but in the end he said, "Okay, let's do as Mr. Chen says."
With two votes against one, Li Yunhan had nothing to say.
Chen She couldn't help but feel proud in his heart, you little brat, can't I deal with you?
Xiaolu is the top tool in my hand. If there are two of us against you alone, can you still fight back?
What a joke.
Chen She said: "Okay, since there are no other problems, let's move forward as soon as possible."
"We must race against time to launch Mewtwo. There can be no delay."
Li Yunhan remembered something again and said, "By the way, Mr. Chen, there seems to be some network fluctuations in the hash space recently, which may have some impact on the digital version of Mewtwo on the Internet."
"If the network fluctuations affect Mewtwo's early data, it may be troublesome. After all, the system's data prediction will be inaccurate in this case."
"Do you think we should postpone it for a few days and consider it after the data fluctuations during this period have passed?"
Chen She frowned, "That's definitely not possible. I've already said that we have to race against time to launch Mewtwo. There can be no delay. Is it reasonable to postpone it for a few days?"
"It doesn't matter. Network fluctuations will affect many Mewtwo anyway, not just us. There's nothing to worry about."
Li Yunhan nodded: "That's right, this kind of network fluctuation is intermittent. As long as there is no large-scale mining boom, there shouldn't be any serious consequences. Then I will arrange for Mewtwo to go online first."
Apparently, Li Yunhan didn’t know that the recent fluctuations in hash space data were related to Fujido Group’s Naraku Project, and thought it was caused by more and more people mining.
It's not just Li Yunhan, the vast majority of people on the Internet think so.
Because the Fujido Group deleted all information about the Naraku Project on the Internet, and at the same time continued to release smoke bombs to divert everyone's attention to the mining boom.
The smartest thing about their approach is that the two situations are so similar that they are almost indistinguishable.
Because every time a mining boom comes, it will be accompanied by a surge in trading volume on the Avalon Exchange, and many people will become rich overnight because of virtual currency.
When computing power surges, many speculators will see opportunities and join the mining ranks, further pushing up the computing power of the entire network and causing continued fluctuations in the hash space.
These signs are exactly the same as those of a real mining boom.
Chen She was very clear about this, but he felt there was no need to tell Li Yunhan.
After all, the risk of profitability for the super dream game "Another Possibility" is still very high. Chen She hopes that it will be a bit cold at the beginning and then slowly pick up later.
Therefore, if the online version of "Another Possibility" happens to encounter strong data fluctuations in the hash space, resulting in ugly initial data, Chen She would be more than happy.
Li Yunhan was confused by Chen She's deception, but he still seriously implemented the publicity plan for the new Mewtwo.
Chen She also had tasks in this process.
As a Mewtwo actor, he was forced to do some negative publicity for his new Mewtwo, wasting some publicity resources.
The publicity effect will definitely not be very good, but at least it can cause great confusion to the Fujido Group.
…
At the same time, in a dark underground space.
Grantham's eyes were closed, and a strong energy wave emanated from his body.
A space-time rift appeared in front of him, and an illusory black figure walked out of the space-time rift, gradually becoming solid and turning into a human figure with a rather oppressive feeling.
It was more than two meters tall, with no obvious gender characteristics. Its entire body was flowing with a viscous black substance similar to asphalt or crude oil, just like the form of space-time life. Only the mask on its head and the lines on its body were a light red.
Grantham immediately knelt on the ground, lowered his head, and said in a very humble tone: "Mr. Red Priest. I am incompetent and did not find the person you wanted."
The red priest in front of him did not express his opinion immediately. This powerful feeling of oppression made Grantham's legs tremble and his head lowered deeply.
After a moment, a deep and muddy voice sounded.
"In that case, there is no need to pay attention to this matter for the time being. It is not a major task in the first place."
"Collect enough space-time particles as soon as possible, you don't have much time."
Grantham was filled with joy, but he did not dare to show it. He just said respectfully, "Yes, I have made a detailed plan for the space-time particles. I will start as soon as the right time comes."
The red priest nodded slightly: "The position of the black priest is still vacant. As long as you can perform well this time, this position will belong to you."
Grantham was overjoyed and said quickly, "Please rest assured, I will complete this mission at all costs!"
The red priest said nothing more, he turned around and crossed the crack. But it was only the shadow that passed through the crack, and the sticky black substance flowed on the ground and gradually receded, leaving behind some light golden crystals of time and space.
It was as if a small-scale space-time event had just occurred here.
Grantham finally breathed a sigh of relief.
