Chapter 1099 President Pei's plan will always be hard to guard against!
At the beginning, Pei Qian didn't pay much attention to this issue.
Matching shirts is inevitable.
Both are BA games, so it’s easy for designers to come across many of their inspirations. What’s more, they both use golden elements, so they’re already similar, so it’s normal to have some sense of déjà vu.
With this little sense of déjà vu, it can’t be said to be plagiarism.
Zhidou Company is a big company, so it should still be proud.
But Pei Qian accidentally looked through netizens' comments about this set of skins and suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Obviously, netizens also feel that this set of black and gold-themed champion skins feels somewhat similar to GOG’s coin-throwing hedgehog Modeste.
Some netizens have the same view as Pei Qian, thinking that this is a simple "match of clothes" and a coincidence.
But there are also many netizens who hold different views.
"I don't think this is a coincidence!"
"Look at this picture carefully. I added the coin-throwing hedgehog into this set of black and gold-themed champion skins. It turns out that there is no sense of dissonance at all, and it is even inexplicably harmonious!"
"How to explain this?"
This netizen posted a picture below.
Originally, the ioi heroes in this set of champion skins had different postures, some were standing, some were squatting, and they were lined up horizontally. They looked quite handsome.
But this netizen fucked a huge Modeste behind their backs!
Moreover, this Modeste has been deliberately exaggerated, and his already burly and powerful figure has been further enlarged. The heroes of ioi only reach his waist.
Modeste's broad arms, thick arms and golden light effects spread out like wings completely occupy the upper half of the picture, just like an angel coming to the world, covering all the five Ioi heroes below.
Under the golden light.
The difficulty of this P-picture is not high, because Modeste cut it out from a high-precision original painting and added some additional golden light effects.
But the final result has no sense of contradiction, as if these six heroes are originally one, and the five heroes below are like Modeste's younger brothers...
Soon, this picture triggered a heated discussion among netizens.
"I'll go, there's no sense of inconsistency! It's just perfect!"
"Although Modeste's original painting has no technological elements, the champion skins of these five heroes are inexplicably consistent with Modeste..."
"When I saw this picture, I suddenly realized a problem, that is, these five heroes are similar to Modeste not only in their golden special effects, but also in many places!"
"There are many kinds of golden light special effects, some are more like gold coins, some are more like rays of light, and some are like water patterns... The golden light special effects used by Modeste and this set of champion skins are closer to gold coins.
The feeling and style are unified.”
"Furthermore, the five heroes in this series of skins all give people a tugging feeling, which is very similar to Modeste's character. Look at the way these people stand, each of them is as tugging as 2,580,000
It seems like he was carved out of the same mold as Modeste..."
"I have a little tidbit! I have a friend who knows the staff of FV Club. It is said that this set of skins is to pay tribute to Mr. Pei!"
"You know, the FV team was just a second-rate team at the beginning. How could they win the world championship? It was because Mr. Pei spent money to provide them with strong logistical support and sent data analysts to provide them with data support! Therefore, this set of championships
The two themes of the skin are 'gold' and 'data', which are to commemorate Mr. Pei!"
"Is there such a thing? Then it makes sense. After all, Modeste was designed based on President Pei. It is also designed to pay tribute to President Pei. Naturally, the design will be a little bit different..."
"I think you may be thinking too complicatedly. It's probably because the original artist of Finger Company was lazy and wanted to use gold elements. He also saw that Modeste's gold elements looked very good, so he 'borrowed' them from it!"
"It's wrong of you to say that. You look down on the professionalism of the original painters of Zhidou Company! I think it should be like this: Modeste's original painting is the work of Mr. Ruan, which is already excellent. Modeste, as a GOG
The representative hero is so famous, and the image is so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, that the original artist of Zhitou Company has seen it a lot. When he wanted to create some original paintings with golden elements, he unknowingly and subconsciously used Modeste's art.
style……"
Players have different opinions, and they can't tell which of these rumors are true and which are false.
But during the discussion, the players gradually established a consensus.
It does look like it!
Especially after this picture of P came out, the more I look at it, the more similar it becomes.
As for the reason for the image, everyone has different opinions and no one can convince anyone. Some people think that the original artist of Zhitou Company deliberately borrowed from it, while others think that the original artist of Zhitou Company made an unintentional mistake and it was a creative collision.
But no matter how we discuss it, one thing will not change: this skin is completely tied to the image of Modeste!
The influence of this picture of P is so widespread and profound that when many players see the initial original painting of the five heroes of Black Gold Technology standing together, they always feel that something is missing.
What's missing?
Apparently they are missing Modeste, who stands behind them and shields them from the wind and rain with his broad arms!
Once this setting is accepted, this black gold technology champion skin cannot exist independently, but is firmly tied to Modeste.
The reason why this happens is not only because they look alike, but also because of the interesting story behind this set of champion skins.
It can be said that without President Pei (Modist)’s generous spending and data support, the FV team would not have won the championship, and naturally there would not be this set of black-gold-themed championship skins.
Therefore, many elements inside and outside the game have tightly tied the image of this set of champion skins to the image of Modeste, and they can no longer be separated.
What's even more frightening is that players are still digging to find out more meanings...
…
Longyu Group.
Eric scrolled through the comments on the Internet, his whole body in a state of anger and shock.
"What the hell is going on!"
"how so?!"
"Obviously we are the ones who distributed the champion skins, why are they all talking about GOG, Modeste and Tenda?"
He also read Zhao Xuming's publicity plan and didn't think there was any problem at all. He felt that even if President Pei's side counterattacked, it would have to wait until Xia Chu.
However, I didn’t expect that something went wrong with the originally foolproof champion skin!
This turn was too sharp. Eric had been concentrating on other things before and was not fully mentally prepared. He almost lost his back.
Everyone else in the conference room also lowered their heads, not daring to breathe.
Because the current situation is really bad.
After Zhitou Company and Longyu Group released the black gold technology-themed champion skin, although it caused a good response on the Internet, everyone was talking about Tenda and GOG's Modeste!
There are almost no netizens discussing this set of skins themselves!
What's even more frightening is that the players opened their minds and dug out many other meanings.
Modeste represents Mr. Pei, who created this set of black gold technology champion skins. The gold color represents Tengda’s lavish spending, and the technology represents the strong data support provided by Mr. Pei. This set of skins symbolizes Mr. Pei’s formation of a team to conquer ioi, and
It will forever leave a mark in ioi’s hall of honor...
After a few months, people once again recalled the scene of FV, the representative team of Tenda and President Pei, killing everyone in the ioi global finals.
In fact, Zhitou Company had already predicted it when it produced the championship skin for the FV team. After this set of skins comes out, they will definitely be whipped again.
But I never expected that the whipping would be so violent and so disrespectful of martial ethics!
Eric took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Xuming.
Zhao Xuming shrank his head.
What are you looking at me for? What does this have to do with me?
Indeed, I did the right thing with the publicity plan.
But I just made a very normal and reasonable promotion plan based on the champion skin! Isn’t the problem this time a problem with the skin itself?
You should settle the score with the person who designed the skin!
Seeing Eric's unkind expression, Zhao Xuming felt that he had to immediately throw away the blame that was about to be placed on his head.
"This must be Mr. Pei's conspiracy!"
"Mr. Pei is really good at calculating. This is obviously a plan that has been made since the FV team won the championship. It was only revealed today!"
"Think carefully, what is the current state of the domestic MoBA game market?"
"In fact, the incremental market has almost been divided up. The popularity of BA games is already very high. Players of other types of games who are easy to convert have basically converted."
"So, now the war between GOG and ioi has gradually transformed into the stock market. That is, they want to grab each other's players!"
"This is easier said than done."
"The BA game itself has a high learning cost. After getting familiar with one game, it will be very uncomfortable to play another game. At this time, you need to find a breaking point!"
"This breaking point can be a highly recognizable hero image, or it can be a story that players talk about and pass on word of mouth."
"And Mr. Pei combined these two points!"
"After the FV team won the championship, Mr. Pei knew that we were going to make championship skins for the FV team, so he must have told the FV team early on to make a series of skins similar to Modeste's style."
"At the same time, in order to eliminate our suspicions, the members of the FV team deliberately did not mention Modeste when making requests. However, in subsequent communications, they asked our painters to repeatedly modify the plan and go forward bit by bit.
Go up and guide me in Modeste’s style.”
"That's why the final product will be very similar to Modeste!"
"Mr. Pei's purpose is so vicious!"
"The FV team is his team. In a short period of time, he built the FV team from a second-rate domestic team to a world champion and won the first championship in the ioi global finals. This is very important to Mr. Pei.
It is an honor worth remembering."
"But he obviously wants more than that."
"The reason why he created such a set of champion skins is to firmly combine this set of champion skins with the image of Modeste. In the future, when Ioi players see the champion skin, they will naturally think of it.
Modeste reminds me of GOG and Tenda Group again!"
"This is a breaking point. It will subtly make ioi players recognize and accept GOG, and gradually erode our player base..."
"This is all Mr. Pei's conspiracy and has nothing to do with the skin promotion plan I made!"
After hearing what Zhao Xuming said, everyone nodded with a look of surprise on their faces.
Based on this analysis, Mr. Pei is indeed vicious!
It turns out that this conspiracy was already being planned when the FV team just won the championship?
Now it seems that Mr. Pei's plan was indeed flawless. He not only deceived everyone at Zhidou Company and Longyu Group, but also deceived the players.
It wasn't until the championship skin officially started to be promoted and the deal was already done that he decided to cut his throat with a sword!
Now, even if Zhidou Company and Longyu Group want to regret it, it is too late.
Even if they redo this set of champion skins now, it won't help, and the situation will even be worse.
Players will still associate this set of champion skins with Modeste, and if it is redone, it will be equivalent to another victory for Mr. Pei, and it will be easy for Finger Company to make two jokes.
Therefore, this set of champion skins is obviously poaching ioi, and it is obviously making a wedding dress for Tenda, but it cannot be withdrawn and can only continue to sell it!
This is really uncomfortable.
Eric closed his eyes slightly and sighed silently.
Zhao Xuming was right. This incident had nothing to do with him. It was not a problem with the publicity plan, but a problem with the skin itself.
We can’t blame the designers of the championship skin, after all, they just completed their work seriously.
Eric and Zhao Xuming have been playing against Mr. Pei, but they have not been able to see this move of Mr. Pei, not to mention those designers who are far away across the ocean and have never dealt with Mr. Pei and are only responsible for designing skins.
Woolen cloth?
Indeed, no one can blame this matter. If you want to blame it, you can only blame Mr. Pei for being too cunning!
Eric leaned back in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.
When he became the head of ioi's Greater China Region again, he was originally ambitious and felt that he had found the destiny of Tengda and defeating Mr. Pei was a piece of cake.
But now, he only has a deep sense of powerlessness.
Even if I persist, there seems to be no hope at all.
