Losing Money to Be a Tycoon-Chapter 1643: The Two Cornerstones Of Boss Pei's Game Production

Chapter 1643: The Two Cornerstones Of Boss Pei's Game Production

In Shanghai…

Lu Xiaoping was resting in the hotel. It was already night time but he was not sleepy at all. He was only looking at the night scene outside the window in the five-star hotel, thinking about something.

Suddenly, his cell phone vibrated. He picked it up and saw that it was a message from his subordinate.

“Boss Lu, Teacher Qiao posted a video!”

Lu Xiaoping immediately replied “I know” and opened Teacher Qiao’s new video.

Now, Teacher Qiao was the focus of the entire anti-Tengda Alliance. Lu Xiaoping cared about him very much. He had even specially arranged for his subordinates to keep an eye on him at all times.

Lu Xiaoping briefly analyzed the previous public opinion battles, as well as the situation of Tengda Games and the movie turning over. He realized that Teacher Qiao had played a huge role in this process.

This famous UP Master had started out by interpreting Tengda Games. It was a very important card in Boss Pei’s hands. It could be said to be a surprise weapon.

If he wanted to defeat Tengda Corporation head-on, not only did he have to attack them face-to-face, but he also had to protect his own rear position. He had to be constantly vigilant against UP Masters like Teacher Qiao who would suddenly launch a sneak attack.

However, Teacher Qiao’s video was released so early. That surprised Lu Xiaoping.

“Are you that anxious? Logically speaking, it’s impossible for Teacher Qiao not to know that the movie ‘The Future’ with the same name is going to be released.”

“I thought that he would choose to combine the movie’s plot for a comprehensive analysis after the movie is released. That would generate more popularity and the reasoning behind it might be more convincing.”

“If we post a game review video now, wouldn’t it be very awkward if it doesn’t match the content of the movie?”

“However, Teacher Qiao’s rash move unexpectedly avoided one of our traps. It was a blessing in disguise.”

Lu Xiaoping had conducted in-depth analysis of Tengda Corporation’s publicity plan for the game and movie that you chose.

He thought that the release date of the game and the release date of the movie must have been carefully planned by Boss Pei. A few days later was to allow the popularity of the game to ferment as much as possible so that it could also promote the movie.

From the looks of the current situation, the plot of the game and movie would definitely be very different. Otherwise, wouldn’t the movie be spoilt in advance if the game was first released before the movie was released?

There must be a deep connection between the two plots that could even be deeply interpreted.

On the other hand, Lu Xiaoping used the time difference between the two projects to counterattack.

His approach was to first attack the game project of ‘The Future You Choose’. It was unlikely that Tengda Corporation or Teacher Qiao would be able to fight back against this public opinion trend until the movie was released.

That was because it was very likely that some thoughts would cause the spoiler of the movie to affect the audience’s first impression of the movie.

On the other hand, Lu Xiaoping’s plan was to release the movie “My Property” and “The Future You Choose” at the same time after he launched a large-scale attack on the game project. He wanted to directly suppress the popularity of Tengda’s movie when the quality of his own movie was absolutely high.

Therefore, Lu Xiaoping had a follow-up plan no matter whether Tengda Corporation responded or not.

Comparatively, Lu Xiao hoped that Tengda Corporation and Teacher Qiao would not respond. That way, he would have more room to show off.

Teacher Qiao looked rash, but he had accidentally avoided a pit.

However, Lu Xiaoping did not care. He would deal with whatever came. He really wanted to see how Teacher Qiao would refute his interpretation of the core of the game ‘The Future You Choose’.

Could he turn the entire public opinion over through a video?

Teacher Qiao had done this many times before but Lu Xiaoping firmly believed that Teacher Qiao would not have any chance this time.

…

The title of the video was’ Products of the Gods Episode 10: What Is The Real Cyberpunk? ‘

What was worth mentioning was that the summary of the video was very long.

“While the video was being produced and uploaded, I took a quick look at the comments online about the game ‘You Choose The Future’.”

“Some players’ criticism of this game seems to be mainly focused on two points. First, the gameplay is relatively monotonous. Second, Tengda Corporation does not really have self-mockery. They did not highlight the true spiritual core of Cyberpunk.”

“I only saw these comments after I finished making the video. However, the content I spoke in the video solved these two questions. Therefore, please watch the video patiently. I believe you will have the answer to these two questions in the end.”

Lu Xiaoping was a little surprised.

That was because he had originally thought that this was a video that refuted the comments spread by Tengda Alliance. However, on further thought, there did not seem to be enough time.

That was because it took more than a day for the anti-Tengda Alliance to recover from the initial shock after the game was released. It reversed the wrong deduction that Tengda Corporation had made about the anti-Tengda Alliance as the antagonist. It also proposed a new public opinion war strategy.

If Teacher Qiao had only refuted this video after seeing the popularity of these anti-Tengda alliance comments, there would not have been enough time to publish it so quickly.

In other words, Teacher Qiao had coincidentally predicted the suspicion of the Tengda Alliance and other players on the game while he was interpreting it.

That was why he did not change the content of the video. He only added this sentence in the summary.

That made Lu Xiaoping feel a little uneasy. If that was the case, it might mean that Teacher Qiao had found some factors that they had missed.

These factors could turn the tables.

Lu Xiaoping calmed down and continued playing the video.

He skipped Teacher Qiao and the audience’s daily chatter and foreshadowing and went straight to the main topic of the video.

Teacher Qiao’s unique voice and meticulous and orderly thinking quickly brought the audience back to the game world of ‘The Future You Choose’.

“Before we officially analyze the game ‘The Future You Choose’, let us first review Boss Pei’s previous game design concept.”

“The first is to break the dimensional wall. All the gameplay that Boss Pei designed is to stimulate players’ emotions so that players can resonate with the protagonist in the game. That would create a stronger sense of immersion and create the effect of breaking the dimensional wall.”

“The most classic example is Repent and be Saved. Through the suffering gameplay, players can experience the feeling of ordinary people struggling bitterly in the sea of bitterness. In Eternal Reincarnation, high-end players were brought into the insufferably arrogant Martial God. It reminded us that sometimes, we would become arrogant because of our ability. It might even cause greater disasters.”

“The second is to express a specific idea to us through the world structure, metaphors, and the protagonist’s final choice. This idea might not suit everyone’s preferences and taste, and it might not be completely correct, but there must be a deep meaning in it.”

“For example, Struggle allows everyone to form their own thoughts by portraying the lives of the poor and the rich in depth.”

“These are the two cornerstone of Boss Pei’s game. Neither of them can be missing. Everything else in the game, be it the graphics, plot, music, sound effects, or other content, are serving these two cornerstone.”

“Now that you understand this, let us think about another question. What is the real Cyberpunk?”

“Actually, Boss Pei had already done some research on this theme in Tomorrow is Beautiful. Subsequently, similar elements appeared in Boss Pei’s games and movies.”

“I think the keyword of Cyberpunk is ‘high-tech low life’. Its core idea is that the development of technology might not necessarily bring people happiness. Instead, it might bring new disasters. In the theme of Cyberpunk, the large-scale monopoly at the bottom of the corporation, homeless people, technological prosthetic limbs, genetic drugs, and so on are all just a form of performance.”

“Why doesn’t the development of technology bring people happiness, but a new disaster?”

“I can give a simple example to students who don’t understand. There was a sociopathic who suggested that as the entire world’s productivity developed rapidly, humans would quickly escape poverty and everyone would be able to live a carefree life.”

“In theory, productivity is indeed developing quickly. The food and resources that we produce are indeed very rich. However, until now, there are not only the extreme poor countries in the world. There are also many homeless people in many developed countries who can only sleep on the streets.”

“That’s why the development of technology will increase the total wealth of the entire society, but it’s a question of whether it will bring everyone a happy life.”

“In the world of Cyberpunk, when those monopoly corporations can widen the gap between themselves and ordinary people through stronger genetic technology and pervasive technological software, the rich and poor would become more and more like two different species. The tear at the top of the social pyramid and the tower base would become more and more serious.”

“Therefore, the real Cyberpunk theme must explore the essence of this problem.”

“If you are only obsessed with the appearance of the Cyberpunk World and focus all your writing on the mechanical prosthetic limbs, skyscrapers, neon lights, and black market transactions, it would be equivalent to giving up everything and having no soul.”

“It would be easier to understand why ‘The Future You Choose’ is a true Cyberpunk game after understanding this point.”

“The important thing is not to show the entire Cyberpunk society in all aspects. Instead, we have to find a core point in the Cyberpunk world and dig deeper to touch the true core.”

“On this point, the game ‘The Future You Choose’ can be said to be the perfect outcome under the restrictions of the development ability.”
