Chapter 560 Collapse! Disintegration! Liquidation! The Last Way Out!
That's right.
At the end of this 10,000-word long article explaining the mystery, Yunwei even produced a "ultimate trailer".
Although they had already released the so-called "ultimate trailer" before E3.
But publicity and marketing is like the "last game" before going to bed.
The final game within a game.
Although it sounds funny.
But in fact it is really effective.
soon!
The trend of the comment area under the official recommendation of Yunwei has changed——
‘An early demo almost ruined a game that could change the world, but luckily I choose to believe it’
‘The relief of doubts came just in time! It turns out I just wanted to be lazy and catch a fish, so I’ll forgive you this time! (dog head)’
‘A murderous fraud almost caused by laziness (funny)’
‘Hiss—if you put it this way, this game seems to be even more powerful! Can all early demos reach this level? (Surprise) (Surprise) (Surprise)’
‘If this is a demo during the first trailer, then the quality is really outrageous’
‘What do you know! This is called invisible pretense! The early samples are already of this quality. What quality can you imagine when it is officially released? ’
‘Indeed, it looks like apologizing, but it actually shows off muscles. Yunwei Wan understands this aspect of psychology’
‘I’m just saying that a top game company with a deep foundation shouldn’t make this kind of mistake! On the eve of the catastrophe is awesome! Already pre-ordered! Waiting for the official release! ’
‘I was still hesitating whether to pre-order, but now I’m sure, let’s pay! ’
‘It seems that I have learned from the pain and am ready to rise again’
"I still have the background of a big company. It is worthy of recognition to regain this attitude towards games. I have pre-ordered it."
‘I’ve also pre-ordered it. Anyway, COD is a limited-time exclusive, so I’ll make up for it later…’
‘Pre-order now…’
‘…’
Long article! A miserable sale! The ultimate preview!
A set of silky-smooth public relations tricks!
Cliché?
conventional.
easy to use?
Easy to use.
that's all!
With this round of Yunwei's public relations tactics, the scam that was about to be exposed once again got a chance to breathe.
Moreover, the overall pre-sale situation is even better than previously expected.
After all, Yunwei's apology this time was too sincere, and coupled with the subsequent final trailer, the effect was full.
For a time, pre-orders continued.
In just twenty-four hours, the number of global pre-sales of "On the Eve of Catastrophe" has exceeded two million.
As soon as the news came out, Vivendi was naturally extremely happy and praised again and again.
Kaunik, on his part, was temporarily relieved.
Of course!
In addition to Kaunike, Shen Miaomiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time——
It’s too risky!
Shen Miaomiao was still frightened when she thought of yesterday's rhythm.
It's so confusing, my family.
"On the Eve of Catastrophe" is so suspenseful that it makes you want to die.
It was obviously a stellar start, but he performed like that at the E3 exhibition.
Fortunately, he responded promptly. Within just two hours of the public outcry, Yunwei quickly controlled the situation.
Otherwise, her 30 billion list would be out of the question.
It was over on the spot before it even started.
Shen Miaomiao prayed in her heart that Yunwei would not give her any more strength.
It’s easy to find a project with a guaranteed loss of fifty times, so let me make a good profit.
As for what happens next!
after……
…
"...What should we do?"
The next day!
President Yunwei's office!
Cornick sat on the boss's chair, frowning and asking Aesop opposite him, with a grimace on his face.
Although looking at it now, they have temporarily stabilized the situation, and even achieved anti-growth in market value to a certain extent.
But the problem is——
what's next?
It's already the second day of the E3 show.
The entire E3 will last for five days.
In other words, the "medicine effect" of their public relations essays can only last for five days at best.
Even if Cornick doesn't understand the game, he can still think with his heels - five days will not change the fact that the quality of their game is not up to standard.
Once the game is officially released!
Still died violently!
In fact, because they covered it up again and again, the subsequent explosions would only become more and more violent!
What to do now?
Or.
How can we delay it now?
"Without him, the ticket will be delayed."
In this regard, Aesop, who has rich experience in game production, accurately gave the optimal solution.
You know clearly that you can't make it, and you can only paint the pie in vain, so why do you have to bite the bullet and release the game?
Bounce!
Since there’s no point in covering it up, it’s better to just continue to lie and announce that the game’s release has been postponed!
The reason is easy to find——
"Although we have worked very hard to complete the game within the stipulated time,"
Aesop said:
"But with such a huge workload, it is still not an easy task even for us,"
“So, in order to make the game as complete as possible, as complete in functionality as possible, and as performant as possible to meet our expected standards,”
"Bounced tickets are inevitable."
hiss--! ! !
Hear the words.
Kaunike couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This is a good idea!
Aesop is indeed experienced, and his years as a top studio director have not been in vain.
For all the tricks in the game production process, it can be said that he knows it very well and uses it like a finger.
It is the most appropriate time to announce the delay.
Because they already mentioned in yesterday’s long explanation article that the workload of game production is huge and the construction period is tight.
Even for such an important publicity opportunity as the E3 exhibition, they did not have time to make a complete trial demo, and could only use the early development samples as a trial.
Therefore, it is reasonable to announce the delay in voting now.
With a little bit of operation, players can definitely be convinced, and it can even generate a lot of enthusiasm for pre-orders!
"Tsk, what a good idea, what a good idea..."
Cornick nodded repeatedly and expressed his deep approval of Aesop's proposal.
But the problem is——
How long will it take to dance?
For Kaunik, naturally the longer the dance, the better.
It would be better to be like Gollum and shelve this project forever and never restart it again.
But he also knew that this was impossible.
Not to mention that "Before the Cataclysm" has already pre-sold more than two million copies. If it is not released, players will not be able to pass that level.
The pressure from Vivendi alone was enough to force them to bite the bullet and release the game.
after all!
So far, this project is a cash cow!
and!
Yunwei's investment in this project now amounts to more than one billion dollars!
The entire investment of the company's backbone project teams, large and small, essentially increases the project cost significantly.
Coupled with this round after round of publicity and winning sales.
The "Eve of Catastrophe" project has become one of the most expensive games in Yunwei's history.
At that time, Vivendi's senior management only needed to say one sentence - [What do you mean by delaying the launch of a project with such broad prospects and such high market popularity?] - which was enough to render him speechless.
so!
"Before the Holocaust" must not imitate "Gulu" and just have an indefinite delay.
"Then..."
Think about it!
Cornick finally weighed a fairly reliable standard in his mind:
"Then let's take one month, postpone it for one month."
This is probably the limit that Vivendi's senior management can tolerate.
[If I can delay it for one more day, it’s one day]
Cornick thought to himself.
Click.
As Aesop took the order and left, the office fell into deathly silence again.
[As for me, it’s time to think about how to end things]
Cornick looked away from the office door and gritted his teeth.
That's right.
It's not "How will Yunwei end up?"
But "How should I end it?"
By now!
Aesop has given it all away - they simply can't do the effects in the trailer.
In other words, Aesop had actually confessed to him a long time ago, but he only realized the seriousness of the matter now.
Appropriately speaking, the "Eve of Catastrophe" they have now is no longer a game in essence, but a huge handheld mine.
And it's a hand-held thunder that is getting more and more powerful.
From the shrinking of the quality of the promotional videos, to the actual trial with reduced configurations, and now the postponement and delay of the purchase.
They have basically used up all the available flowers.
Cornick knows.
This month of delays and delays will most likely be the last month for him to sit in this position.
Once "Before the Cataclysm" is released, thunder will break out!
At best, Yunwei is the next Comella, which sank amidst the scolding. Since then, it has lost its status as the dominant player in the game industry and has completely become a sewer manufacturer.
And if things get even worse...
collapse.
disintegration.
liquidation.
The huge battleship will fall apart in an instant!
And the former helmsman of the battleship will be liquidated in the most severe and vicious manner by the capital empire!
As a water friend said before -
[You will receive all the increased income brought about by bragging! Now you're saying this was just a joke? Do you think capital will laugh? 】
Cornick didn't think that the huge capital group would be stupid enough to regard such a huge loss as a joke.
And he would never be able to put an end to this matter with a simple "resignation".
Everyone knows that the Neon Consortium is ruthless.
Little did they know that all the tricks from my childhood were leftover from the Wall Street monocles.
He had to find a way for himself.
In this last short period of one month.
No matter where.
Be it Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, or even Xiangjiang, China...
That's right.
What Cornick calls a "way out" may be more appropriately called "escape".
After all, after so many years, he has gained enough benefits from Yunwei's position as president.
It's just a pity that the Golden Wind now has an absolute advantage. He can no longer leave this place of right and wrong with the secret help of the Golden Wind and go to Northern Europe to enjoy peace and happiness like the former president of Comella Kamikoshi Keimasa.
How to get out secretly and safely?
In the dead silence of the office, only the ticking clock sounded rhythmically, like a countdown.
Cornick took a deep breath and fell into deep thought...
