Chapter 560 Collapse! Disintegration! Liquidation! The final 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 started.
But publicity and marketing is like the "last game" before going to bed.
The last game of the 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’
‘It’s too timely to clear up the doubts! It turned out that 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 the early demos reach such a 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 demos 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 solid foundation shouldn’t make this mistake! Eve of Catastrophe is awesome! It’s already been pre-ordered! Waiting for its official release!’
'I was still hesitating whether to pre-order, but now I'm convinced, 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’s worthy of recognition to regain this attitude towards games. I’m pre-ordering’
‘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! Poor sale! 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 previous expectations.
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 Road to Catastrophe" has exceeded two million.
As soon as the news came out, Vivendi was naturally extremely happy and praised again and again.
For his part, Cornick also breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.
Of course!
In addition to Kaunike, Shen Miaomiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time——
Too risky!
Shen Miaomiao was still frightened when she thought of yesterday's rhythm.
It's so frustrating, my family.
"On the Eve of Catastrophe" is so suspenseful that it makes you think you are dead.
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 won't even be considered.
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!
Yunwei President'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 to some extent, have even achieved anti-growth in market value.
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 on his heels - five days can't change the fact that the quality of their game is substandard.
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 else can we procrastinate 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 very well that you can't make it, and you can only paint a big pie, so why bother to 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 perfect as possible, with as many functions as possible, and with the performance meeting our expected standards as much as possible,”
"Bounced tickets are inevitable."
hiss--!!!
Hear the words.
Cornick couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
This is a good idea!
Aesop is indeed very experienced, and his years as a top studio director have not been in vain.
He knows all the tricks in the game production process and can use them like a finger.
It is the most appropriate time to announce the ticket 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 didn't 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 that the ticket will be delayed 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 does it take to dance?
For Cornick, naturally the longer the dance, the better.
It would be best to be like Gulu and put this project on hold forever and never restart it again.
But he also knew that this was impossible.
Not to mention that "Before the Holocaust" 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 is enough to force them to bite the bullet and release the game.
after all!
At present, this project is a cash cow!
and!
Yunwei's investment in this project now exceeds one billion U.S. dollars!
The entire investment of the company's key project teams, large and small, essentially increases project costs 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."
I guess this is 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?”
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.
To put it more appropriately, the game they have now, "Before the Holocaust", is no longer a game in essence, but a huge thunderbolt.
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 the delay of the purchase.
They have basically used up all the available flowers.
Cornick knows that.
This month of delays and delays will most likely be the last month he will sit in this position.
Once "Before the Holocaust" is released, thunder will break out!
At best, Yunwei is the next Comella, which sank amidst a sea of criticism. It has since lost its status as the dominant player in the gaming 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 took all the increased income brought about by bragging! Now you say this is 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 failure 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 monocles on Wall Street.
He must find a way for himself.
In this last short period of one month.
No matter where it is.
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 the position of CEO Yunwei.
It's just a pity that Golden Wind now has an absolute advantage, and he can no longer leave this land of right and wrong and go to Northern Europe to enjoy peace and happiness like Comella's former president Kamegoshi Keimasa, with the secret help of Golden Wind.
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...
