Losing Money to Be a Tycoon - Chapter 1136
Chapter 1136: They Didn’t Look For Teacher Qiao?
The promotional video ended there.
Qiao Liang rubbed his eyes, unable to believe what he was seeing.
“That’s it?”
“This was it??”
“What the hell is this?!”
Qiao Liang was completely speechless. He had not shot any of the three things that he had imagined!
There was no physical picture of the Doubt VR glasses in the film. The VR glasses that had only appeared once were high-tech products similar to sunglasses. They were not at the level that could be made in the current era.
There was no introduction to the Doubt VR parameters in the film, and there was no mention of the game ‘Animal Island’.
The protagonist was not a beautiful lady. Instead, they got an ordinary-looking male actor to act as a geek.
Ridiculous!
The film looked alright on the surface, expressing the concept that “future VR technology will make it difficult for us to distinguish between virtual and reality”, but it only expressed this concept.
It was classy but it did not have any publicity effect for the product!
The film itself was not a big problem, but the key was that not everyone was qualified to film such a high-class promotional video.
This brand had to have a high degree of recognition.
There would be no problem if Pineapple or Shenhua were to film a promotional video with unknown meaning for their own flagship model. Everyone sincerely believed that they would produce something impressive enough to shock the entire market.
However, if it was a small unknown company filming a similar promotional video? Everyone would only think that it was bragging and deceiving investors.
Based on the public opinion online a while ago…
Most people online obviously thought that Slow Movement Studio was the latter.
Qiao Liang quickly checked the comments below the video.
“It’s not bad, but it’s a little short.”
“It’s quite cool! If only such an awesome VR product existed in reality!”
“This was filmed by Meng Chang, right? He just announced that he was working with Slow Movement Studio. Meng Chang is indeed capable. It’s a pity that he doesn’t do anything decent.”
“Sigh, what’s the use of making the promotional video so fancy? Where’s your product? Are you going to be like many companies that cheat investors, creating a high-end concept promotional video to cheat players of crowdfunding or investors?!”
“Indeed, those who build electric scooters, make VRs, and various internet projects all like to create such foggy promotional videos. The films are indeed good, but it’s hard to say if the products will be mass-produced or not.”
“Considering Meng Chang’s past record, I seriously suspect that this film is using the same old marketing method again. It’s definitely a seller’s show! Otherwise, why wouldn’t it not dare to release the true image of the product?”
“What’s more, there’s a scene in the promotional video that’s still riding on ‘Mission and Choice’! Even if Tengda invested in it, they wouldn’t do that!”
There were a few more positive comments at first, but they were quickly covered by negative comments.
This promotional video was indeed not bad. Even though many details and characters’ movements were not clear, he could vaguely sense its meaning.
However, the problem was that it would change once Meng Chang was involved!
That was because Meng Chang had been full of nonsense when he was the cold-faced lady previously. All sorts of fake concepts were thrown out as if they were free. Everyone was already very disgusted by his bragging.
This promotional video looked like it was bragging.
Otherwise, why would they not dare to release the products?
The virtual glasses that looked like sunglasses in the video looked very handsome indeed, but everyone knew that it was definitely a technology that could not be mass-produced at the current stage. It would probably not be able to be produced in three to five years. Even if it was barely produced, the effect would not be good.
In other words, the promotional video was a pure concept.
The words ‘pure concept’ were associated with Meng Chang, making people think of a ‘scam’.
Thus, the promotional video was not very popular. Some people might be discussing it, but a pure concept promotional video could not generate widespread influence without relying on the product.
The flash of an interstellar shot in the promotional video made many players unhappy.
Everyone knew that Tengda had officially made an announcement to clarify their relationship with Slow Movement Studio.
However, Slow Movement Studio still used materials similar to ‘Mission and Choice’ in the promotional video. Even though they did not directly use the images in the game but dealt with it to a certain extent, it looked even more fake.
Of course, anyone could use elements like Starcraft and Zergs. However, using them at this time would obviously be very suspicious.
This further aroused the dissatisfaction of some players.
Qiao Liang watched anxiously.
“What is this Meng Chang doing!”
“The film was alright, but why did you say on Weibo that you were working with Slow Movement Studio! Isn’t that dragging Slow Movement Studio down!”
“What a scam!”
Qiao Liang could not help but feel anxious.
Look at what happened. Slow Movement Studio and Tengda Corporation were obviously one family. Why were they becoming more and more opposing?
Meng Chang’s post on Weibo had produced a magical chemical reaction that dragged down Slow Movement Studio’s image. Even the promotional video and all the publicity work in the early stages were falling in an unpredictable and extremely negative direction.
That made Qiao Liang very anxious!
He tried to think if he could do something to change the current situation as he ate.
However, before he could come up with a good idea, he saw someone @ him in the group chat.
“Teacher Qiao! You got the VR glasses, right? Quickly start the live-stream of your evaluation!”
“That’s right. Why are you still hiding it? You said that you were trying out a new game. You should be using this pair of glasses, right?”
“What do these glasses look like? Take a photo for us to see.”
Qiao Liang was a little confused looking at the series of @.
What did this mean?
Why did everyone think that I had obtained the VR glasses?
He immediately replied, “I haven’t gotten the VR glasses. I did try them out before, but they were all in the company. I didn’t bring them home.”
The fans did not believe it at all.
“How is that possible? They’re already trying it out in the company. Why didn’t they give you one?”
“There are so many small UP Masters on the internet who obtained the prototype review but did not give it to you?”
“That’s right, I saw two or three small UP Masters with thousands of fans posting videos!”
Qiao Liang looked at the discussion in the fan group, his mind filled with question marks.
What was happening?!
He immediately opened Aili Island’s website and searched.
Indeed, after Slow Movement Studio’s “VR Era Concept Publicity” was released, many small UP Masters seemed to have discussed it and released the open box videos of VR glasses!
There were also some live-streamers who were live-streaming the unboxing experience.
Qiao Liang did not believe it at first and clicked on it.
He saw that a certain small-time streamer who only had 7,000+ subscribers was indeed opening a box of Doubt VR glasses. What’s more, he was full of praise for this pair of glasses. This praise made Qiao Liang have goosebumps all over his body.
“Dear viewers and friends, this is definitely the highest-end, most valuable, most perfect, and VR glasses that you can buy now!”
“This pair of glasses will blur your virtual reality and bring you into the virtual era in advance! Look at this cool appearance, it’s like you just transmigrated from a sci-fi movie!”
“What? Clarity? That’s not easy to explain in detail, but I can guarantee that its clarity is definitely not low. You can rest assured about that.”
“What’s the use of this controller? Er… I don’t have a good idea now. From the looks of the current game, there are only a few more keys. However, I think it would be more convenient to play more complicated games in the future, right?”
Qiao Liang could not take it anymore.
He might be mainly praising Tengda’s products, but he had to pay attention to the basic laws and technical content!
He could not exaggerate!
However, Qiao Liang clicked into the live-streams of a few live-streamers and a few UP Master’s unboxing videos. They were basically praising the product awkwardly. It was not natural at all.
The key was that the publicity effect was not good.
Many of these streamers and UP Masters had previous records. Many of them had sponsored partnerships. This time, with the awkward bragging, even their own fans felt that they were sponsored partnerships.
What’s more, these people only cared about bragging. They did not mention a single word about the most critical parameters of the VR glasses. They even avoided answering about the resolution, which further made fans even more aware of the it.
