Chapter 560 Collapse! disintegration! Liquidation! The last way out!
That’s right.
At the end of this 10,000-word explanation of doubts, 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 last round of the round.
Although it sounds funny.
But in fact, the effect is indeed outstanding.
soon!
The trend of the comment area changed under the official recommendation of Yunwei——
“An early demo almost ruined a game that could change the world, but luckily I choose to believe it”
‘The resolution 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 that almost resulted from 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 indeed 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 an apology, but in fact it is a flex of muscles. Yunwei Wan understands this aspect of psychology’
‘I would say that top game companies with deep foundations should not 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! ’
‘Looks like I’ve learned a lot from the experience and am ready to rise again’
‘I still have the background of a big company, and it is worthy of recognition to regain this attitude towards games. I have pre-ordered’
‘I also pre-ordered it. Anyway, COD is a limited-time exclusive, so I’ll make up for it later…’
‘Pre-order starts…’
‘…’
Long article! A miserable sale! The ultimate preview!
A set of silky-smooth public relations tricks!
Is it cliche?
Cliché.
Is it 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.
Furthermore, 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 ultimate 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 him repeatedly.
As for Kaunike, he was temporarily relieved.
Of course!
Other than Kaunik, Shen Miaomiao also secretly breathed a sigh of relief at the same time—
It’s too dangerous!
Shen Miaomiao was still frightened when she thought of yesterday's rhythm.
It’s so confusing, my family.
"Eve of the Catastrophe" is so suspenseful that it makes you think you are dead.
It was obviously a stellar start, but it 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 increase her strength any more.
It’s easy to find a project that can guarantee a loss of 50 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 was sitting on the boss's chair, frowning and asking Aesop opposite him, with a grimace on his face.
Although now, they have temporarily stabilized the situation, and even achieved anti-growth in market value to a certain extent.
But the problem is—
What next?
It is already the second day of the E3 exhibition.
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 Kaunik doesn’t understand the game, he can think with his heels that 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 a violent death!
Even more, because they covered it up again and again, the subsequent explosions will only become more and more violent!
What to do now?
Or rather.
How can we procrastinate now?
“Nothing else, it’s a bounced vote.”
In this regard, Aesop, who has rich experience in game production, accurately gave the optimal solution.
You know that you can't make it, and you can only paint the pie in vain. Why do you have to bite the bullet and release the game?
The ticket bounced!
Since there is no use in covering it up, it is better to just play rogue and continue to lie and announce that the game 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, even for us, it is still not an easy task,”
“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,”
——! !
Hear the words.
Cornick’s eyes couldn’t help but light up.
This method is good! Aesop is indeed experienced, and his years as a top studio director have not been in vain.
He knows all the tricks in the game production process like the back of his hand, and he can use them like a finger.
It is extremely appropriate to announce the delay at this time.
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 produce a complete trial demo, and could only use the early development samples as a trial.
So it is reasonable to announce the delay in voting now.
With a little bit of operation, players can definitely believe it, 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 Kaunike, naturally the longer the dance, the better.
It would be best 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 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 launch 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!
ˆThe entire investment of the company’s key project teams, large and small, essentially increases project costs significantly.
Coupled with this round after round of big announcements about winning sales.
The "Eve of Catastrophe" project has become one of the most expensive games in Yunwei's history.
By then, Vivendi’s senior management only needed 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 said!
"Before the Holocaust" must not imitate "Gulu" and simply have an indefinite delay.
“Then…”
Think about it!
Cornick finally weighed a fairly reliable standard in his mind:
“Then let’s take one month, extend it by one month.”
It is estimated that this is the limit that Vivendi’s senior management can tolerate.
【If you can delay it for one more day, then 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?"
Things have come to this!
Aesop has done everything right - 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 handheld thunderbolt.
And it is a hand-held mine that is getting more and more powerful.
From the quality of the promotional video to shrinking, to the actual trial with reduced specs, and now to delays and delays.
They have basically used up all the available flowers.
Cornick knows.
This month of postponement and bounced votes will most likely be the last month he will sit in this position.
Once "Before the Holocaust" is released, there will be a thunderstorm!
At best, Yunwei is the next Comella, which sank amid a sea of criticism. 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 were a little worse...
Collapse.
Disintegrate.
Liquidation.
The huge battleship will fall apart in an instant!
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 have received all the increased income brought about by bragging! Now you're saying this was just a joke? Do you think capital will laugh? 】
Cornick doesn’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 light "resignation".
Everyone knows that the Neon Consortium is ruthless.
As everyone knows, the tricks from my childhood are all leftover from the monocles on Wall Street.
He must find a way for himself.
In this last short period of one month.
Wherever it is.
Be it Northern Europe, Southeast Asia, or even Xiangjiang of China...
That’s right.
What Cornick calls “a way out” may be more appropriately called “escape”.
After all these 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. He can no longer leave this place of right and wrong with the secret help of Golden Wind and go to Northern Europe to enjoy peace and happiness like Comella's former president 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...
