Chapter 250 Horses march to Dongjin! The flag hangs in Ginza!
Bang, bang, bang...
Crash--
The sound of cold soda water being opened sounded in the living room.
In the bathroom, the sound of gurgling shower water could also be heard faintly.
Shen Miaomiao drank two cans of ice water in one go, put the ice-cold soda water in her hand on her hot face, then walked to the window and opened it, letting the late autumn wind cool her down.
In the bathroom, the cool water surged and washed down from the top of Gu Sheng's head, extinguishing the blazing flames in his body.
It's obviously late autumn and early winter.
But the two of them seemed to have a temperature alarm, one was air-cooled and the other was water-cooled to cool themselves down.
In the late autumn night, the souls of two people who were almost at odds with each other gradually cooled down.
But you have to know.
Energy is conserved.
Since the fiery impulse was not released in the crisp autumn night, Comella had to endure the swelling passion that had nowhere to rest.
The next day!
The Golden Wind was announced for the first time in history and launched with great fanfare!
China.
On the Binjiang Technology Building, a huge "SEKIRO" banner was unfurled at the highest point of the landmark CBD.
Outside the Shenzhou Xunteng Game Building, a huge concept poster hangs dozens of meters long, which is extremely eye-catching.
In front of the headquarters building of Zhongjing Yiyu, the flags of Yiyu x2 and "Sekiro" danced one after another, which was dazzling.
And besides that.
In Seoul's Dongdaemun shopping district, people are coming and going. The Golden Wind logo on the left side of the entrance and the Sekiro poster on the right side echo each other.
There are many tourists on Kuala Lumpur's smart tram, and Sekiro's promotional video is playing on the small TV in the carriage.
The Siam Paragon in Bangkok is brightly lit, and the posters of "Sekiro" are gathered together on the closed elevator doors.
On the subway billboards in London, on the cruise ships passing by the Sydney Opera House, behind the gliders flying over Florida.
There are endless advertisements and strange ways of advertising about Sekiro and Golden Wind.
With China as its base, the Golden Wind adopts encirclement tactics on the Asian level, giving up the neon lights, and uses cheap and high-quality methods to infiltrate propaganda into other Asian countries.
At the same time, from Europe in the west to the United States in the east, the publicity and distribution of "Torii" on a global scale was squeezed out to the greatest extent.
For a time, the Ke La promotion team headed by Tetsuya Moritani was overwhelmed by the joint attack of Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao.
It is said that a shopping mall is like a battlefield, and Xuanfa's booth is actually equivalent to the respective positions of both parties.
Obviously, Golden Wind is very aware that its influence and connections in Neon are far inferior to those of Comella.
Therefore, they simply gave up the neon position and started frantically attacking Comella's overseas strongholds.
Unmoving like a mountain, aggressive like fire!
In the past, the Golden Wind was not announced, not because they were unable to do so, but because they were unwilling to do so!
But this time, they plan to announce it!
and!
It's Shen Miaomiao - the only daughter of Shen Wanlin, the helmsman of a global asset complex - who wants to promote her company's products!
Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, as long as it has anything to do with Shen Capital, whether it is its industries or partners.
Who dares to treat the eldest lady of the Shen family coldly?
What's more, today's Golden Wind is guarded by the two largest gaming conglomerates in China, with the support of China Entertainment and the official endorsement behind it!
If you really want to announce it, it will be like a rainbow piercing the sun, or a dragon rising out of the sea!
It turned the gaming circle upside down and everyone was in an uproar!
A hammer in the east and a stick in the west made Moritani-san dizzy and overwhelmed!
"We can no longer let the golden wind spread like this,"
At the press conference, Kazuo Koizumi frowned and looked at President Kamikoshi Keimasa:
"Today, we have built the Neon position to be impregnable, but if we let them continue to announce it like this, I am afraid that we will only have the local position left!"
Of course Joetsu Kagemasa knew that what Koizumi said was true.
He was also frowning.
Who knows, Jin Zhifeng, who has always shown little interest in Xuanfa, seems to have been given a shot this time.
Even last night, when he saw the photo of a glider flying over Florida with a promotional banner for Golden Wind, he couldn't help but exclaimed that it was outrageous.
Overseas positions were lost one after another.
Kamigoshi Keimasa couldn't help but feel anxious and angry, and looked at Moritani:
"Executive Moritani, in more than a week, the video game festival is about to start,"
"Facing the offensive of the Golden Wind, in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Everyone looked at Moritani Tetsuya.
I saw him pondering for a moment.
He opened his mouth and said: "Stick to it."
"Stick to it?!"
Hearing this, Kazuo Koizumi couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Director Moritani! You mean... we just watch them encroach on our overseas propaganda positions?"
"right,"
Moritani Tetsuya nodded:
"Because the video game festival will be held in Neon after all, and Dongjin is a battleground for both our military strategists,"
"If we divert our energy to deal with their overseas positions at this time, it will inevitably cause our domestic defense line to be weak,"
"Comela has a big influence on neon, but it's not so big that it can cover the sky with one hand,"
"Once we relax, it is very likely that the wind of gold will take advantage of it,"
"After all...our current enemy is not just the Golden Wind..."
Speaking of which.
Moritani sighed softly.
"What we are facing is the combined forces of Golden Wind, Yiyou, and Xunteng,"
"And behind this coalition, there is an even larger Shen Capital,"
"Even though Shen Capital has not made a move so far, the influence of that behemoth alone is enough to benefit Golden Wind in countless ways."
Moritani has a thorough understanding of this publicity war.
And in fact, it's exactly what he said.
If it were just a golden wind, Comella's announcement could crush them to death in minutes.
The main problem now is that there are too many people, companies, organizations, units helping Golden Wind!
Perhaps in terms of size, Comella is not inferior to the "Golden United Army".
But the problem is, the tentacles of this damn coalition are too broad!
This feeling is like there are people all over the world, in all walks of life, who can be used by Golden Wind, and they all have the face that Mr. Xiao Shen can sell!
This is so fucking terrible!
She was even able to use American planes, London's subway, and Kuala Lumpur's light rail to promote "Sekiro" using their advertising spaces.
All special tricks!
The so-called clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!
Moritani has really tried his best.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a good father!
but!
Although Moritani sighed repeatedly, he was not completely helpless.
After all, both of them are game companies.
No matter how outrageous the announcement is, how complicated, how shocking, or how vast the aspects involved.
In the final analysis.
In the end, they have to go back to games, back to Neon, back to Dongjin, and back to this video game festival.
Now, in less than ten days, players and media from all over the world will gather in Neon.
As long as they can firmly maintain the dominance of "Torii" in Tojin's distribution, they will not be overwhelmed by the golden wind.
Wait for work with ease and stick to your homeland.
This is Moritani's strategy.
However!
Koizumi found it difficult to accept this.
Because in his opinion, this time both sides' 3S-level masterpieces are for the world!
Nowadays, their overseas promotion positions are on fire, and the discussion of "Sekiro" has obviously soared around the world!
If this continues, in another ten days, they may only have the neon position left!
And someone who also had this idea was Kamegoshi Keimasa.
It's just that his thinking is at a higher level than Koizumi -
He needs to give an explanation to the board of directors and investors.
You know, since the last "Silent Hill" project failed, the board of directors and investors have been criticizing him.
But this time, they spent so much money and found so many people, and finally used neon as the basis to expand the promotion of "Torii" to all parts of the world, making the situation great.
Retreat at this time?
Return to Neon Homeland?
What about the expenses previously spent?
How to explain the overseas publicity situation where big money is spent on small things and fires are everywhere?
We co-wrote it for a long time, and the final result of the operation was to dominate Neon and gain the initiative in publicity?
Then it costs tens of millions of dollars?
Xiaoquan didn't want to retreat.
The more you go, the more you can't retreat.
Moritani wanted to retreat, but was unable to do so amidst the overwhelming veto.
Ever since, Comella's counterattack in overseas markets began.
The two sides fought in confusion.
In just five days, the outcome was decided.
Golden Wind's overseas promotion campaign has become increasingly sluggish and shrinking, and Comella has regained the upper hand.
The news came.
From Kamigoshi Keimasa to Koizumi Kazuo, everyone in the company sang triumphant songs and cheered.
Everyone is full of energy, their backs are straight, and they are ready to welcome the upcoming Dongjin Game Festival!
Only one person can't laugh...
…
That night.
Moritani tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Lying on the tatami, I tossed and turned, feeling uneasy.
Pick up the phone and put it down, put it down and pick it up again.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I finally made up my mind, turned over and sat up, clicked on the number, and made the call.
beep--
beep--
beep--
The phone rang several times.
A man's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Saxili, Moritani-san, what's the matter with calling so late?"
good.
The man on the other end of the phone is Gu Sheng.
"Well……"
Moritani sighed and opened his mouth:
"Sorry, Gu Sang, it's really rude to bother you so late."
"Hey, it's okay,"
There was a rustling sound, and it sounded like Gu Sheng sat up:
"What's wrong?"
"Um--"
After groaning, Moritani hesitated and said:
"The previous suppression of propaganda against you, including this competition for overseas markets, were all planned by me,"
"I hope Gu Sang won't... mind too much."
Moritani's voice was low, feeling very sorry.
However, Gu Sheng, who had expected it, was not angry. He just smiled and said: "I will do my duty faithfully, Moritani-san. Do you think I am a person who does not distinguish between public and private affairs?"
Hear the words.
Moritani was stunned.
Then he smiled suddenly: "That's right. A broad-minded person like Gu Sang will definitely not blame me for this."
Speaking of which.
Both sides were silent for a while.
Then, I heard Moriya continue to say:
"Today's call is mainly because of an...unkind request. I hope Gu Sang can help me clear up my doubts,"
"Oh, of course, if it's inconvenient, Gu Sang can refuse."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Sheng chuckled: "It's okay, Moritani-san, it's okay to say it."
Moritani hesitated.
Then he spoke and asked:
"The shrinking of overseas promotions was Gu Sang's intention, right?"
moment.
Gu Sheng's voice sounded: "Yes."
silence.
A long silence.
Moritani Tetsuya closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
It's strange to say.
The moment I got the answer.
He was originally feeling anxious, but now he fell to the ground.
After all, there are only three more days.
The Dongjin Game Festival is about to begin.
The promotion war between "Torii" and "Sekiro" has become a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
"All right……"
Moritani's mood was very complicated. He didn't know whether to laugh or sigh, and shook his head:
"Including Dongjin?"
It sounds like this statement is a bit meaningless.
Most people couldn't understand what he was asking.
But Gu Sheng understood.
He opened his mouth, but instead of answering directly, he said:
"When you pass by Ginza at work tomorrow, you can stop and take a look. It should be more conspicuous."
"……well……"
Moritani nodded:
"Then...I won't disturb Gu Sang anymore, good night."
"Good night Moriya-san," Gu Sheng also hung up the phone: "See you in two days."
The moon sets and the sun rises.
The morning mist has not yet dispersed.
There were only a few pedestrians on the street. It was not yet the morning rush hour and there were not many people on the road.
In the hazy autumn fog, a silver-gray Lexus passed through the fog.
Moritani held the steering wheel, turned slightly, and entered the service road.
Diagonally across the sparsely populated street, there are rows of gorgeous buildings.
The largest strip-type commercial building at the corner is the core of the Ginza business district. It is located on the so-called "Neon Cross Road" and occupies the most prosperous commercial area in Dongjin, and even the most prosperous commercial area in neon.
.
at this time.
Several workers are working on the huge advertising space on the side facade of Mitsukoshi Department Store.
The jewelry advertisements that were originally lavished here have been replaced.
A huge roll of promotional posters is ready and waiting to be spread out.
The mist in the autumn morning is slightly cool.
Moritani Tetsu also lit a cigarette and wrapped his coat.
And the workers above the building also shouted slogans at this moment——
"Yi Qi! Ni! San! (One, two, three)"
As the last number drifts into the autumn mist.
A giant-screen poster rolled out and was displayed in the most eye-catching position on the most prosperous section of Neon Road——
A man wearing a khaki coarse cloth coat was holding a pestle knife with both hands and half-kneeling among the fluttering red leaves.
A face with sharp edges and corners, and eyes that are deep and determined.
In the hand, the samurai sword shines coldly, and the left prosthetic limb is very precise.
On the right side of the screen, the main and subtitles are eye-catching——
【SEKIRO】
【Shadows Die Twice】
Moritani Tetsuya was silent for a long time while looking at the huge poster!
Then, he shook his head and smiled.
With helplessness, with bitterness, with irreparable loss.
The situation he was most worried about finally happened...
