The first day of the game show brought an unexpected treat —
Everyone previously thought the most likely accident would be right-wing players from Izumo causing trouble at the Dream Building booth.
But in reality, those people didn't show up at all.
Instead, colleagues from Xia Country gave everyone a surprise —
Moyu Games' "Mirror World Story" booth was right across from Dream Building!
Unabashedly competing with Dream Building for target users!
Neither company was short on money, so the booth areas were naturally large, and the aisle in the middle was wide enough that staff on both sides could easily see each other.
During the opening performance, the cosplayers on both stages were facing each other while dancing.
It was a real stage battle!
The participating players stood in the middle, looking left and right, front and back... unable to take it all in.
— No choice, the programs on both sides were too exciting!
Coupled with the outstanding Izumo makeup techniques, one of Asia's four great sorceries, the character reproduction is astonishingly high!
In Xia Country, there are also many cosplayers who cosplay "Frost Snow Project" characters.
But they will all use tape, transparent shoulder straps, or flesh-colored linings to prevent excessive exposure.
— Don't get me wrong, it's not that Xia Country doesn't have cosplayers with explosive figures and enough courage, it's just that the convention venues have restrictions.
If you dress too outrageously, you will be asked to leave by security.
Online, it doesn't matter, that's a battle between the coser and the censor.
But the feeling of watching a coser through the screen versus seeing them up close offline, how can it be the same?!
Just like now —
Bold costumes and dance moves, explosive figures and magical makeup, combined with the animation on the big screen behind, these factors add up to a great effect!
Huan Yue stood in the crowd, only feeling white everywhere, a little dizzying.
This is the local specialty.
Dream Building has fully adapted to local customs.
If there were no other opponents, then "Frost Snow Project" would definitely be the most eye-catching cub in this exhibition area.
Unfortunately —
Their opponent was right across from them, just a dozen meters away.
The cosers of "Mirror World Story" were even more exaggerated than those of "Frost Snow Project"!
Although the clothes of "Frost Snow Project" are sexy, the artists at least considered how to wear the clothes and the state of movement after wearing them when drawing.
— Because Xu Meng has very high requirements for character detail and dynamic effects.
Especially after confirming that these characters will be VRized, there are more things to consider.
If the artists draw recklessly, the modelers and animators may directly run over and kneel down to call them father/mother.
But "Mirror World Story" doesn't care about this.
Under Fei Zhiyuan's guiding ideology of "feel free to do it boldly" and Izumo artist Okamoto Ryosei's creative philosophy of "the sexier, the better," the characters of "Mirror World Story" are so bold.
The 11 cosers on stage only managed to put together two decent bras —
A bikini counts as one, and a bandage wrap and apron each count as half.
The rest are either leaves, bears, shells, feathers, ribbons, "chest curtains" and other things that are more like "decorations" than "clothes."
Or they are wearing clothes that expose their shoulders and backs, but you can't see any traces of bras at all.
Just... very bold!
Much bolder than "Frost Snow Project".
Huan Yue just accidentally filmed for more than ten seconds, and the live broadcast room was severely sanctioned by the super administrator and forced to close for half an hour.
"Mirror World Story" also prepared generous gifts to attract traffic.
Outside the game show, billboards were also displayed one after another, constantly attracting new players to come and experience.
— Lu Ming was right, Fei Zhiyuan's investment in "Mirror World Story" is indeed a big deal!
Moyu's methods naturally had an unquestionable effect — even if Dream Building had hardware support, it was inevitably at a disadvantage.
Even Huan Yue, who came to see his waifu, after queuing up at the Dream Building booth and experiencing Qing Ling's interactive scene — [Waiting Time], also ran to queue up at "Mirror World Story".
The accompanying Brave Sniper kept scolding him for "betraying the organization" while following him in line.
Huan Yue didn't care about his accusations: "Sexy things are always better the more, the better."
"Didn't you come too, you scumbag?"
— September hasn't passed yet, and the Brave Sniper's title of "scumbag" hasn't expired.
He could only weakly retort: "I'm here to understand the enemy's situation! I am loyal to Dream Building!"
But his mentality was similar to Huan Yue's.
— No matter how noble and beautiful your own flowers are, when you see the bright wildflowers on the roadside, you can't help but want to take a few glances...
Like them, there were many players who queued for "Mirror World Story" after queuing for "Frost Snow Project"!
This is also normal — rational players don't care about the love-hate relationship between game companies.
If the game is fun and the characters are good-looking, then download it.
It's none of the players' business if the game companies fight to the death.
In fact, it's better to fight, maybe they can give out more benefits.
...
The dozen meters of aisle between the two booths was packed all day long.
The equipment on both sides never stopped, with players constantly coming and going.
But the player turnover rate on both sides was very different —
The newest novels are first published on 6 9 Book Bar!
On the Dream Building side, you have to change into a somatosensory synchronization suit to experience the new content, which is far less easy and efficient than "Mirror World Story", where you can play with a keyboard and mouse.
This resulted in the queue time on Moyu Games' side being significantly shorter than Dream Building's.
After a day, the number of players received by Moyu Games' booth was more than twice that of Dream Building!
Fei Zhiyuan, who was obsessed with "defeating Dream Building" and whose future company development strategy was deeply tied to "defeating 'Frost Snow Project'," specially arranged for an employee to stay by the booth all day, using software to analyze the data for the entire day.
The result was only one word:
"Good!"
Not just good, but great!
Not only was the number of receptions doubled, but the ratio of men to women was also healthier — the ratio of men to women in "Frost Snow Project" was almost 8:2, while "Mirror World Story" was close to 6:4!
Fei Zhiyuan received Gong Feng's first day's battle report and immediately laughed three times on the phone.
He was proud and hearty.
On the second day, the "Mirror World Story" propaganda offensive was fully launched!
And it was both at home and abroad!
— "Divine Bird" has a foreign server, and Moyu Games is very skilled in this regard.
Unfortunately, the Japanese server of "Frost Snow Project" is also about to be launched, which is the time for promotion.
When the two sides collide like this, the publicity cost will undoubtedly rise rapidly!
Chen Junyi felt that he could take a step back first, and wait until the Phantomscape game kit sold enough in Izumo, and the VR content of "Frost Snow Project" was enough, then he could take advantage of the situation to promote it, which could achieve twice the result with half the effort.
Anyway, the selling point of "immersive interaction" has no competitors in the market at all.
Xu Meng agreed in principle.
But he asked Chen Junyi not to directly withdraw from the competition, but to put on a posture of trying hard to pull and compete, first raising the price, and then losing to Moyu Games.
It doesn't matter if you fail a few times, as long as you finally increase the cost of Moyu Games.
Chen Junyi nodded knowingly: "Understood."
...
On the second day of the game show, the exhibition hall was still noisy.
But the competition has shifted beyond the players' sight.
In this secret war to seize exposure, "Mirror World Story" — is in full swing!
All day long, the news Fei Zhiyuan received was:
"Won!"
"Won!"
"Won again!"
...
From day to night.
A big win!
Moyu Games swept away the sluggishness of the past few months, and the company's repressed and tired atmosphere was relieved!
Except for Lu Ming, everyone was immersed in the joy of victory.
Of course, Dream Building did not just lie down and give up promotion.
Besides, with Xu Meng there, Dream Building never needs to worry about marketing issues —
On the third day, the exhibition team took out the big move prepared by Xu Meng:
Live character card drawing!
(1/3) Asking for monthly tickets for the third update!
