Xu Meng is a warm-hearted person.
Being happy to help others is his good virtue.
"Mengling! Help me call Director Song!"
"Okay!" The little assistant responded from outside the door, and soon brought Song Zhicheng running over.
Some players are worried that the wives they spent money to get will be gone, or be forced to wear thick clothes.
— In the world of ACG [Animation, Comics, and Games], forcing female characters to wear more conservative clothes is tantamount to cyber foot-binding, almost equivalent to a kind of alternative defilement.
Absolutely not!
Everyone is protesting very loudly.
Song Zhicheng was so anxious that sweat was dripping from his forehead.
Seeing that the boss was still as steady as Mount Tai, he couldn't help but admire in his heart:
As expected of the boss, his expression doesn't change even when Mount Tai collapses in front of him. What a strong psychological quality!
Now that he's called me over, he must have a solution, right?
He looked at Xu Meng with anticipation.
Then Xu Meng asked, "Do you know where female players, especially those who play ACG and Otome games, gather?"
… …
The office was silent for a few seconds.
"… … Ah?" Song Zhicheng was stunned.
"Or even potential female players will do," Xu Meng added.
"I… I'm not very clear." Song Zhicheng blinked, feeling that he had touched a knowledge blind spot.
But he immediately added, "But I know some friends who make female-oriented games, I can ask them, it shouldn't be difficult to find out."
The little assistant suddenly raised her hand: "Boss, I know one—Red Book! [Likely reference to a social media platform]"
"Actually, there are the most people on Weiguang [Likely reference to a social media platform], but Weiguang is too chaotic and extreme, many female players can't stand it, so they all ran to Red Book."
"And now Red Book is also becoming extreme, and there is a trend to transfer to Dream Jin."
"Then there are more chat groups."
"Okay." Xu Meng nodded, "But in addition to your personal experience, the practice of game companies is also very important. You should still consult with your peers when necessary."
"If the other party is unwilling to say, you can spend money to buy it, or use some publicity resources to exchange for it."
"Understood." Song Zhicheng nodded, and then asked, "Boss, what are you investigating these things for?"
"For advertising," Xu Meng replied.
"Ah?" Song Zhicheng and the little assistant were stunned at the same time, "Although "Project Frost Snow" has female players, it's not worth the effort to spend money to attract female players in female communities, right?"
"Not worth the effort" is a very polite and euphemistic statement.
The accurate description should be—
"It will be torn apart by criticism!"
"That's right." Xu Meng agreed, "So we are not advertising for "Project Frost Snow"."
"Then who is it for?"
It can't be "War of Kings", right?
"'Tales of Mirror World'." Xu Meng said with a smile, "You don't know yet, this game is about to start closed beta testing, let's help them promote it and attract some female players to help with testing."
"? ? ?"
Song Zhicheng was speechless for a while, unable to keep up with Xu Meng's jumping thoughts at all.
Promote Moyu Games' new game?
And specially help attract female players to come over?
Wait… "Tales of Mirror World", seems to also focus on eroticism?
But they engage in suggestive content with both male and female characters, so attracting female players shouldn't have any impact, right?
— Regarding suggestive content and feminism, the game practitioners in this world are still in a relatively basic stage of understanding.
Suggestive content still needs Xu Meng to take the lead, and they also seriously underestimate the destructive power of extreme feminist fairies.
"It's more troublesome to explain, and the persuasion is not strong enough." Xu Meng shook his head, "Go ahead and do it first, pay more attention to this matter, and then carefully observe the subsequent series of effects."
"You will benefit a lot."
Of course, Song Zhicheng did not doubt the boss's judgment. Although he didn't understand, he immediately started doing it.
Only before leaving, he did not forget to ask Xu Meng how to deal with the second review of "Project Frost Snow".
Xu Meng reassured him not to worry, he was already dealing with it, and then he felt relieved.
—
That afternoon, Song Zhicheng repeated his old trick.
Instead of using the official account of "Project Frost Snow" to speak out, he used his personal account to post a photo.
The photo showed him working seriously with a phone in one hand and a pen in the other.
The caption:
[Don't panic, don't be impetuous.]
In view of the sensitivity of the "re-review" matter, and the fact that the boss has not given a clear answer, he can only use this method to imply to the players not to worry, not to panic, and that the problem can be solved.
And the ACG players, who have bigger brains and are good at association, really got his idea, and the anxious posts actually decreased a lot!
Song Zhicheng knew that this was not his credit.
But the reputation that Dream Building has accumulated among players by repeatedly delivering on its promises.
He once again reminded himself how precious this trust was, and then went to complete the work assigned by Xu Meng non-stop.
—
Song Zhicheng's work efficiency is as reassuring as ever.
The next day, Moyu Games finally launched, announcing to the entire player circle with great fanfare—
["Tales of Mirror World", the first closed beta test is officially open for registration!]
Normally, a first test only lasts about 7 to 10 days—"Tales of Mirror World" is 10 days.
Just issue an announcement to accept applications, and then select some people to send out test qualifications, no need to be so grand.
But on the one hand, the battle of the avant-garde was a disastrous defeat, Moyu Games and Moyu Games' players were chased and ridiculed, and the situation did not improve for several days. They urgently needed to use other big news to shift the topic.
On the other hand, the pressure from "Project Frost Snow" is too great.
Fei Zhiyuan no longer believed that "Tales of the Mirror World" could easily crush "Project Frost Snow" upon release. Instead, he realized they had to go all out, utilizing every opportunity and ounce of strength, to have any hope of winning.
Therefore, they had to absorb this negative publicity and transform it into a boost for their new game's launch.
This had to be done on a grand scale!
——"Project Frost Snow's" monthly revenue of 800 million had become unbearable for Fei Zhiyuan, prompting him to accelerate their plans completely!
Weibo, bilibili, ByteDance, application splash screen ads…
Undoubtedly, a significant investment.
Xu Meng greatly admired their decisiveness and thoughtfully provided assistance!
So, that afternoon, promotional materials for "Tales of the Mirror World" began to appear densely on various apps commonly used by female players and users, including Red Book, shopping apps, period trackers, photo apps, photo editing apps, and idol-chasing apps!
——Of course, there were no female characters, only muscular and seductive male characters!
The newest novels are first published on !
Clicking on these ads would directly redirect users to the closed beta application page for "Tales of the Mirror World."
On Red Book and ByteDance, "recommendation" bloggers also began to emerge, encouraging everyone to try the game.
Especially those bloggers who had made feminist remarks, posting very actively.
On the first day, Gong Feng was only focused on observing the soaring discussion heat of "Tales of the Mirror World" on various platforms—and quickly recording the disappearance of content mocking Moyu Games and boss Fei Zhiyuan, so he could report the good news to the boss. He didn't notice this anomaly.
On the second day, they began distributing test qualifications to players.
To better test players' acceptance of "Tales of the Mirror World," they intentionally reduced the test qualifications given to old "Divine Bird" players, distributing more qualifications to new users.
Busy all day, they still didn't notice Xu Meng's great assistance.
It wasn't until the third day, when everything was settled and the test server was about to open, that they belatedly realized—
Two days ago, for some unknown reason, many apps had provided them with free advertising.
When they inquired about what was happening, the answer they received was:
"The order was placed by Zhumeng Games."
When Gong Feng heard this, he was completely dumbfounded.
——What does this mean? Aren't we rivals?
I want to climb over you, and you're not only not angry but actively helping me?
Is he that generous?
He figured there must be a conspiracy.
But he couldn't see through it, so he had to quickly report it to the boss.
Fei Zhiyuan also couldn't figure it out.
Could it be that Zhumeng was planning to bury the hatchet?
"Is there more information?"
"No," Gong Feng shook his head. "This happened two days ago, and we didn't notice it at the time."
The two looked at each other for a moment and could only ignore it.
After all, free publicity was being offered, and you don't slap a smiling face.
So, another day passed, and on August 1st, four things happened simultaneously—
"Project Frost Snow" updated to version , with the new character Qing Ling entering the [Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] for early access, while Little Wolf Girl entered the limited-time up banner.
[Dragon Palace Treasure Hunt] introduced two new gameplay modes: Transport Mode and Capture Mode.
Players, with lingering concerns about the game possibly shutting down for a period of time, began playing the game in a fit of revenge!
However, they did restrain themselves quite a bit in terms of spending money on gacha and buying items from the store.
"Divine Bird" updated to a new version, with the first sexy character—the young priestess Larna—entering the banner.
"Divine Bird" players enthusiastically pulled on the banner, with the banner revenue heading straight for the highest record of the year!
The first 10-day closed beta test for "Tales of the Mirror World" officially began.
The gender ratio of the test players was shockingly healthy.
——Almost a perfect 50/50 split!
Finally, Yin Zhiyuan also brought news to Xu Meng—
"You don't have to worry about the review. Just submit the current version, and it will pass."
Xu Meng repeatedly expressed his gratitude.
And stated: He would immediately devote himself to optimizing the lightweight version algorithm for the somatosensory sync server.
After hanging up the phone, he notified Song Zhicheng to submit the latest client of "Project Frost Snow" for review.
Song Zhicheng nervously submitted the review.
Less than half an hour later, the review unit passed the review with astonishing efficiency.
——When he received the reply, Song Zhicheng was completely dumbfounded. He had never seen or even heard of such amazing review efficiency in his life!
And after Xu Meng obtained the document confirming the review had passed, he posted an announcement on Weibo, Pixiv, and Mengjin at lightning speed:
[Thank you for your concern regarding the re-review of "Project Frost Snow."]
[The latest client of "Project Frost Snow" version has successfully passed the second review. Players can enjoy the game with peace of mind, without worrying about being disturbed by unnecessary matters.]
[Finally, we would like to thank our partner companies [Luzhu Games], [Miaowang Games], and [Lushima Games] for their concern regarding the compliance issues of "Project Frost Snow" and for their efforts in promoting Zhumeng to complete the second review.]——
Like a boulder thrown into a pond.
As soon as this announcement was released, it caused a great uproar in the game circle!
Luzhu Games, Miaowang Games, and Lushima Games were almost immediately cursed into sieves!
7:00…
, requesting monthly tickets!
