Chapter 1386: A Sample Outside Of Safe and Civilized Driving

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

January 4th, 2013, the first day after New Year’s Day…

1

Meng Chang came to the Advertisement and marketing department. He was already prepared to go all out after he recovered.

Without another word, the publicity resources for ‘Successor’ continued to be maximized!

The New Year’s Day holiday was over. There was still no sign of the debate over ‘Successor’ calming down. However, it was obvious that everyone was tired of arguing.

That was because the two sides that were arguing were just saying that. The views that they wanted to express were already very clear. If they continued to argue, it would only be infinitely repeated.

Of course, the essence of humans was repeater machines, and the essence of arguing with people online was to say different things.

Everyone was trying hard to convince each other. No one was willing to accept each other’s concepts and change their own concepts. Thus, in the end, they could only say that they were chicken and duck. The argument escalated into cursing. In the end, they would pull each other down.

In other words, if he went online to discuss problems with others now, there would probably be no results apart from anger.

At the moment, ‘Successor’ was probably in such a tired state. Neither side could convince the other. They would temporarily give up and rest.

However, Just Qian’s haters still had the upper hand.

That was because the supporters of ‘Successor’ could not raise convincing arguments to prove their views.

Young Master Tian might have jumped out to gain hatred but he did not really start attacking. Instead, he predicted a date like a scammer. After that, he completely pretended to be dead. Anyone who @ him or sent him private messages would be like sinking into the sea.

At first, everyone was still discussing Young Master Tian’s dynamic. However, they did not manage to figure it out. They slowly put it down.

Under such circumstances, Meng Chang felt the need to continue investing in publicity resources to revive the popularity and ignite the fighting spirit of both sides who were already tired of fighting.

It would be best if everyone could bicker every weekend when the new episode of ‘Successor’ was released. That would be the ideal situation.

In fact, Meng Chang had originally wanted Zhu Xiaoce to personally record a video and post it on Fei Huang Workspace’s official account to put ‘Successor’ on the platform.

Huang Sibo might be the person-in-charge of Fei Huang Workspace but his position in the audience’s heart was far inferior to Zhu Xiaoce’s. Zhu Xiaoce was the director after all. Most people’s first reaction after seeing an outstanding movie was to attribute the credit to the director. Next was the actor, script writer, and finally the investor and boss.

If Zhu Xiaoce were to stand on stage, it could further cause debate and make the battle more exciting.

However, Meng Chang only knew that this was a little difficult after asking Bao Xu.

That was because the indoor training phase had ended this month. They had officially begun to suffer in the wild.

Compared to the location of the previous torturous trip in Shennongjia, this Suffering Travels looked much friendlier. It was chosen on the deserted island near Qiongzhou.

Of course, it was just that there was no one on the island.

In order to ensure the safety and health of the members, there was a boat beside them that was always on standby. There was a doctor on the boat. What’s more, once something went wrong, they could send people to the nearby hospital to be treated as soon as possible.

However, there would probably not be any problems.

That was because their physical fitness had improved greatly during the indoor training. Even Qiao Liang, who had the worst physical fitness, had improved significantly. He would suffer the most on the island. After all, the sun was very hot and the sea breeze was very strong. It should not be a problem for him to persevere.

Zhu Xiaoce had already reached the deserted island. His daily suffering was very serious. What’s more, there was no cell phone on the island. All the communication was on the boat. How was he to film a video?

What’s more, even if they really squeezed out some time to film it, netizens would probably laugh at the environment and the current situation of suffering when they saw Zhu Xiaoce filming. They would think that Zhu Xiaoce was doing a good job. The focus would completely deviate and would not achieve the effect that Meng Chang wanted.

Thus, after some thought, he decided against it.

It was best not to play any other tricks if it could be solved with publicity funds.

Meng Chang’s highest goal might be to achieve the best effect of the Pei family’s publicity method, but burning funds was also an important task. There was no need to save.

Therefore, after some consideration, Meng Chang gave up on this idea and chose to continue burning money mindlessly in the publicity plan.

The cell phone on the table vibrated as he was modifying the plan.

Meng Chang picked it up and saw that it was a message from Ye Zhizhou.

Over at Shang Yang Games, Ye Zhizhou was one of the members of the previous suffering trip. He had already returned from suffering. On the other hand, Wang Xiaobin was a member of this suffering trip. He was suffering on the deserted island with Zhu Xiaoce and Qiao Liang.

The two of them handed over seamlessly, just like Huang Sibo and Zhu Xiaoce had done for Fei Huang Workspace.

The message from Ye Zhizhou was to invite Meng Chang to Shang Yang Games to experience the DEMO of the game “Safe and Civilized Driving”. He wanted to experience the steering wheel and other external settings so that he could better design the publicity plan.

The person in charge of Tengda Games was Yu Fei. Ghost General 2 had been developed later than Safe and Civilized Driving. However, because it was smaller than Safe and Civilized Driving, it had been completed this month.

He would probably invite Meng Chang to Ghost General 2 in a few days.

Now, the heads of Tengda’s various departments knew that Boss Pei was gradually handing all the publicity work to Meng Chang. Therefore, they would wait for Meng Chang to inspect the project and come up with the publicity plan when the project was almost completed.

If Meng Chang did not come, everyone would definitely send him a message anxiously and invite him.

After all, the entire department had put in a lot of effort into these projects. No one wanted to see the popularity fall because of insufficient publicity resources.

Meng Chang hesitated for a moment when he saw this message.

That was because when he met Boss Pei previously, he had already said that he would not do the publicity for these two games and would continue to spend the publicity resources on ‘Successor’. Boss Pei had also agreed.

Of course, he still had to distribute some publicity funds to these two games. However, he did not have to come up with the plan.

Since they were only paying and not producing a publicity plan, was there a need to experience it?

Meng Chang pondered for a moment and finally decided to make a trip.

Boss Pei had officially handed the task of distributing publicity resources to him. Thus, he could not only think about his commission now. He had to think about the overall situation of Tengda Corporation.

Should he give up on the project that would not affect his commission?

In theory, Meng Chang could do that, but Boss Pei would definitely be very disappointed if he really did that.

Meng Chang did not accept the publicity plan for these two games because they were not suitable for the Pei family’s publicity method.

However, he still had to have the usual publicity.

The employees of Tengda Games and Shang Yang Games were only good at research and development. They were not good at publicity. Thus, if they were only given publicity funds and allowed them to express themselves freely, the effect would not be controllable.

Meng Chang thought about helping others to the end. Since he was the person-in-charge of the advertising and marketing department, he had a duty to teach them.

As long as the person-in-charge of these two departments learned a little marketing knowledge and used the leftovers of the Pei family’s publicity method to make full use of these publicity resources, it should not be a problem for these games to become popular.

It was better to teach a man how to fish than to teach a man how to fish!

At that thought, Meng Chang decided to make a trip to Shang Yang Games to experience Safe and Civilized Driving. Then, he would come up with a targeted publicity plan.

However, this publicity plan would not be given directly to Ye Zhizhou. Instead, it would be like Boss Pei, guiding Ye Zhizhou through his own comprehension.

That way, the natural transmission of the Pei family’s publicity method would be completed.

Otherwise, Tengda already had so many departments and projects now. There would definitely be more departments and projects in the future. Wouldn’t Meng Chang die from exhaustion if he had to come up with publicity plans for every project?

Therefore, Meng Chang’s future method would definitely be to take it easy.

He would personally come up with a publicity plan for some major projects. He would allocate some publicity funds for some conventional projects and let the department head come up with a publicity plan himself.

He did not have to worry about not being professional. When the time came, the other employees of the Advertisement and marketing department could help and cooperate. They could perfect the prototype of the department head’s plan and then fully advance.

Meng Chang felt that Boss Pei must have been looking forward to handing the right to distribute publicity resources to him.

…

Meng Chang took a car to Shang Yang Games. Ye Zhizhou welcomed him warmly.

“Come, please take a look. This is the entire set of equipment that we have prepared for the new game!”

Shang Yang Games had a special gaming room. It was very spacious. At that moment, the entire exterior of Safe and Civilized Driving was already set up.

“We can purchase the peripheral products on our own, but we would recommend purchasing set meals.

“There are three types of package options. The first is the entry-level package that is priced at 5800 yuan. The second is the advanced package that is priced at 6800 yuan. The third is the luxury package that is priced at 9999 yuan.”

“If you want to get the best experience, you should try the luxury package first.”

Ye Zhizhou briefly introduced the equipment difference between the three types of combo meals to Meng Chang.

Meng Chang scanned the three different combinations. Obviously, the GL seat of the luxury set meal was the most eye-catching.

The three combo meals used the same steering wheel, pedals, and console. The difference was that the entry package only had a frame without a seat and needed to be equipped with one’s own seat. The advanced combo had an additional hand brake, and it could adjust the frame and the seat as one. The luxurious combo meal had all the parts and a GL seat. It looked obviously more impressive.

Needless to say, these three sets were targeted at three different gamers.

Comparatively, the entry package had the highest price-quality ratio and was the most practical. That was because it did not take up space. It could be placed in the study room or next to the computer table. When you wanted to play, you could make do with the computer chair. When you did not want to play, you could leave it. There would not be an additional racing seat to take up space.

The price of the advanced set meal did not increase much. In fact, the difference of 1,000 yuan was mainly in this liquid-pressure hand brake and the scaffold chair. Its advantage was that it could obtain a better drifting experience with the liquid-pressure hand brake. At the same time, the seat and scaffold were connected. It would not worry about the seat sliding due to the excessive movements of the accelerator.. What’s more, the seat’s sitting posture would definitely be adjusted to the most suitable angle for driving.
