Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1362: Eric and Zhao Xuming’s Victory Conference

December 13th, Thursday…

Pei Qian had a head of bed hair. He sat on his sofa with his laptop in his arms, focusing intently on something.

Those who did not know would definitely think that Boss Pei was working hard!

He woke up early in the morning and began to think about work without even washing his head.

However, Pei Qian only had one thought in his mind. “What’s going on with the Suffering Travels? Can you self-media unify and give me the right answer?”

The Suffering Travels was hotly discussed on the internet yesterday. It was on the hot searches of various websites. All sorts of media that rushed for popularity naturally took advantage of it at the speed of light, making it difficult for Pei Qian not to see it.

What’s more, this situation might continue for a few days. After all, the UP Masters who made videos were still editing videos and waiting for vetting!

Pei Qian read many netizens’ discussions and self-media analysis articles out of trust in the netizens. He wanted to find the truth about the Suffering Travels.

The more he read, the angrier he became.

This batch of netizens was not good enough. They were not reliable at all!

He could either analyze the situation aggressively without being able to withstand the process, or give up on analyzing and boast about Boss Pei.

Say that this was Boss Pei’s exquisite plan again and again, subverting the business model of travel, and that the future of Suffering Travels was very promising.

Pei Qian was furious.

He was conflicted inside.

On one hand, he was looking forward to someone similar to Teacher Qiao stepping forward to interpret the true reason for the success of the torturous trip like a game so that he could completely understand this matter. It might be a misunderstanding of his original intention but it could at least explain why the market would give such a reaction.

On the other hand, he was a little worried. What if more netizens agreed with this explanation and the Suffering Travels became even more popular?

Pei Qian put his laptop aside and gave up helplessly after a long time.

“Forget it, it’s a total waste of time…”

The media outlets raised many shocking points of view in order to attract attention. However, these contents could not be tolerated and had no reference value to Pei Qian.

He still could not understand why Suffering Travels would become popular.

He could only set it aside for now.

Pei Qian calmed down and turned his attention to another matter.

The publicity work for ‘Successor’ was going to be fully opened today!

Huang Sibo had already discussed the specific plan for the cooperation with Aili Island. Today, they would start to promote it overwhelmingly. Not only would Tengda promote it, but Aili Island would also provide enough publicity resources.

At 8 PM on Sunday night, all three episodes of ‘Successor’ were released. After that, there would be two episodes per week. They would be released on Saturday and Sunday night.

The last two episodes would be released together. That way, they would be done on January 13th.

Pei Qian wanted to put the premiere on Saturday night because it was GOG and IOI’s finals. It could steal a lot of popularity.

However, Eric Island definitely did not want to fight for popularity. After all, they had given publicity resources to many websites in ‘Successor’.

Pei Qian naturally did not say much. He came according to the time set by the Aili Island website.

In any case, ‘Successor’ failed purely based on strength. The outcome would not be much different no matter what time it was released.

The promotional video for ‘Successor’ has been released on Aili Island’s website. All sorts of publicity materials had been released. The drama board had also given ‘Successor’ a huge recommendation and list of recommendations.

The words’ Fei Huang Workspace’s New Workspace ‘were particularly eye-catching on the promotional material.

All in all, he had given all he could.

Pei Qian opened the promotional video and took a look. As it was released by Fei Huang Workspace’s official account and was recommended by the algorithm of the Aili Island website, there were already many bullet screen comments and messages not long after the promotional video was released.

“Is the successor finally going to be released?! I’m looking forward to Zhongdian Chinese Network’s second copyright adaptation!”

“The original party is here. The episode looks quite similar. Good review!”

“This is a superhero movie? I don’t see any superheroes at all.”

“To put it bluntly, the blond man who peed his pants was the protagonist.

“He’s the protagonist? Then why aren’t there any fighting scenes in the promotional video? The first half was miserably tortured, and the second half was secretly scheming… This…”

“I have a feeling that this film might be quite messed up. It’s too strange and doesn’t suit my taste…”

“It’s normal for the original party to say that it doesn’t suit the taste. This theme itself is a niche theme. What’s more, the no-show, who was the original author, deliberately ugly the protagonist. It would be a huge problem if you really like this protagonist.”

“The original party doesn’t want spoilers! Let the audience who have not seen the original enjoy the plot from the beginning.”

At a glance, the comments section of the promotional video could be said to have all sorts of comments. They could not even form two opposing opinions, much less form a unified opinion.

The audience had at least several different attitudes.

On one hand, it was because Meng Chang had deliberately misled the audience when he was working on the publicity plan so that the new audience could not see the essence of the movie from the publicity content. On the other hand, it was because the spoilers had maintained their restraint.

Many people who had never seen the original poster would definitely have a variety of understanding when they saw this title and promotional video.

Those who had read the original script did not spoil the story or explain much. That was because it was obviously a very tasteless act.

Some of them wanted to explain, but this explanation would definitely involve spoilers, so they forced themselves to say it.

What’s more, the original work of ‘Successor’ was not a popular work on Zhongdian Chinese Network. It was at most a niche masterpiece. It was too small to be put on the internet.

The original party and new audience formed two different attitudes. There were many types of new audiences. Some came for the Superhero theme, some liked alternative stories, and some were purely fans of Fei Huang Workspace…

All in all, even though the publicity was not small, it was not very popular.

That was because there were only two possibilities for popularity to explode. One was that it would be well received and most people would be crazily running water. The other was that there would be mixed reviews. Both sides would be diametrically opposed, neither would be convinced of the other, and would be arguing non-stop.

Given the current situation of ‘Successor’, it was not on either side.

At that point, Pei Qian finally nodded in satisfaction. He temporarily put aside the suffering trip.

It looked like Meng Chang’s initial publicity strategy was a success.

Once ‘Successor’ was released, many viewers would cry out and curse. That would be even more stable!

December 15th, Saturday…

Europe, IOI International Finals Arena.

“Boss Zhao, over here!”

Eric was all smiles as he accurately found Zhao Xuming amidst the crowd.

Both of them clapped, representing their victory.

Eric had been keeping an eye on GOG’s international invitational tournament in Europe ever since it began. Zhao Xuming was in charge of domestic offline activities and broadcasting.

Now that the competition was finally coming to an end, GOG was making rapid progress. IOI looked like it was going downhill. Naturally, the two of them could relax.

After the semifinals last weekend, GOG’s two domestic teams had made it out of the qualifiers. The process had been a little difficult, but the results had been good.

There was no need to worry about GOG since it was an internal battle. It was the same no matter who won.

What’s more, from the looks of the current situation, GOG had already stolen all the popularity with its new viewing function. It could be said to be completely crushing domestic popularity. Its popularity in the world had also completely surpassed IOI. It could already open champagne in advance.

Eric and Zhao Xuming had already booked tickets for the IOI finals in advance. They were just in time to watch the finals.

There was obviously more suspense here.

Of course, no one could guarantee whether FV Team would win or not. However, this was only a local battle. Once the dust on the entire battlefield was almost settled, even if FV Team lost, it would not affect GOG’s complete victory.

Of course, it was best to win.

Zhao Xuming looked at the time. The competition would only start later, but they had to enter.

It was a pity that Eric and Zhao Xuming had bought the tickets separately. They were not in the same location, so they could only find their own seats and take their seats.

Zhao Xuming had just sat down when he heard someone say in surprise, “Boss Zhao?”

He looked up and realized that it was his old partner in Long Yu Corporation, Jin Yong.

“Eh, you’re here too?”

Zhao Xuming only realized that there was a problem when he asked this question. He smiled as well.

Jin Yong had taken over his job now and was considered the person-in-charge of IOI’s local server. What was so strange about him appearing at the IOI World Finals?

On the other hand, he was the strange one appearing here as the traitor!

Jin Yong nodded. “Yes, I’ll sit over there. I’m about ten seats away.”

He did not say much. He was his old superior after all. His friendship was still there.

Coincidentally, the seat next to Zhao Xuming was not here yet. It was empty. Jin Yong sat down temporarily and chatted with Zhao Xuming.

“Boss Zhao, the viewing function that you guys created is really amazing. It caught us off guard!”

“What’s more, after holding a meeting and researching for a long time, I really could not do anything. The popularity that I had worked so hard to gain was all eaten up by you silently.”

“Did you come up with this idea or did Eric come up with it?”

“Or perhaps… Boss Pei thought of it?”

Jin Yong had always been very curious about this. Now, he could finally ask.

Why had Eric and Zhao Xuming been passive defense when they were on IOI? They had been beaten by Tengda until they could not tell north from south. However, they suddenly seemed to have understood GOG. All sorts of tricks came to them?

You two haven’t been acting, have you?

If you line up at my side, you’ll be happy. If you line up opposite me, you’ll go all out?

Jin Yong instinctively thought that he should not second guess his superior like this, but the current situation was too similar. It was hard not to be suspicious.

Zhao Xuming smiled. “Neither.”

“It was thought of by the previous person-in-charge of Tengda Games who was transferred to Bunny Tail Live-Stream.”
