Chapter 1135 Meng Chang's Weibo

The set was very simple, just a large green screen.

On this green screen, the male actor was wearing a skintight suit that looked very high-tech, special custom-made VR glasses props, and making some inexplicable movements.

It could be seen that this actor had a strong work ethic, trying to make these seemingly silly actions less so.

However, the effect was not very obvious.

Meng Chang kept comforting him from the side: "It doesn't matter, just let loose and perform. All kinds of special effects will be added later. Once the special effects are added, it will immediately improve. The final product will definitely not be as awkward as it is now."

"Okay, once this take is done, let's just do two more and then officially start editing and add the pre-made special effects. It has to be released before tomorrow night."

For Meng Chang, who cared if it was awkward?

Anyway, this promotional video was called "VR Era Concept Promotional Video."

The VR glasses in the promotional video didn't use Doubt VR's real product, but a very technological, very light and thin fake sample.

This wasn't false advertising, after all, my promotional video isn't called "Doubt VR Glasses Promotional Video," but "VR Era Concept Promotional Video."

Concept, understand?

My video is showing everyone a possibility for the future, it's conceptual, and it's not real in the first place.

Even though Meng Chang was almost finished filming this video, he still sighed, thinking that President Pei was really shameless to come up with this idea.

This thought process was simply bizarre!

According to President Pei's plan, this video was to raise players' expectations and further deepen the impression that "Sluggish Studios" was unreliable.

Now that the video was almost finished, they would rush to edit and add special effects for two days, today and tomorrow, and release the promotional video tomorrow night.

It didn't matter that the time was tight, because no one really cared about the effect.

Seeing that the filming was almost done, Meng Chang casually found a place on set to sit down, took out his phone, and prepared to post on Weibo.

Logging into Weibo again, Meng Chang felt a little emotional.

Back then, when he founded Lengmian Guniang (Cold Noodles Girl), he was full of spirit, pointing out the country and gesticulating on Weibo.

Most of his millions of fans now were gained through high-intensity marketing at that time. Although there were some zombie fans bought, most of them were real people, which showed his influence on the internet at that time.

But after Lengmian Guniang failed, Meng Chang hadn't logged into Weibo for a long time.

His last Weibo post was forever stuck half a year ago, when Meng Chang was still angrily denouncing those who spread rumors that Lengmian Guniang was about to close down, guaranteeing to everyone that "Lengmian Guniang is doing well."

As a result, half a year had passed in the blink of an eye, and Lengmian Guniang had already closed down once and been reborn in President Pei's hands.

He couldn't help but feel a sense of things having changed.

Opening his private messages, they were full of unread messages. Scrolling forward, many of them were scolding him as a liar, and he couldn't scroll to the end.

But later, no one scolded him anymore. Obviously, the attention on the internet came and went quickly. After Meng Chang disappeared from the public eye for six months, most people had forgotten him.

But today, this Weibo was about to be resurrected with full HP and play its due role!

Meng Chang was still looking forward to this.

If President Pei's method worked, it would prove that his bad reputation was also useful.

If President Pei could use it, then he could definitely use it too!

Meng Chang couldn't wait to verify how powerful his bad reputation was, so he immediately edited a Weibo post, reviewed it to make sure there were no mistakes, and then released it.

"Life restarts, dreams remain."

"Since the failure of Lengmian Guniang's entrepreneurship, I have not found a suitable opportunity to communicate with you frankly. This time, I want to share my inner apologies and gratitude, as well as my commitment to the future."

"Although my entrepreneurial experience was short, it can be called magnificent. An unavoidable responsibility is that I am the primary person responsible for the failure of Lengmian Guniang's entrepreneurship. I am well aware that the failure of Lengmian Guniang has caused losses to many people, and here, I express my most sincere apologies to everyone."

"Entrepreneurship is a high-risk activity. Some people succeed, and naturally some people will fail. I have no intention of attributing the failure to the influence of many external factors, and I will bear all the losses alone."

"In the future, I will provide marketing and promotion plans for various companies, so as to work to repay my debts and shoulder the responsibilities I should bear."

"I will cooperate with Sluggish Studios, and I am very honored to be able to do the promotion and marketing plan for their new VR glasses product. I hope that we can benefit each other and cooperate for a win-win situation, and I also hope that everyone will support this epoch-making VR product and join me in embracing the future!"

After reading the Weibo post he wrote again, Meng Chang nodded in satisfaction.

This Weibo post was superficially very sincere, but in fact full of lies, and would definitely cause everyone's resentment!

Although the purpose of this Weibo post was to stimulate everyone's resentment towards him, Meng Chang couldn't write it too deliberately.

For example, directly posting on Weibo and saying: "I just won't pay back the money, what can you do to me?"

Although that would be very effective in mocking, it didn't match Meng Chang's always hypocritical persona, and this inexplicable behavior would easily arouse suspicion.

Therefore, this Weibo post had to be written with real feelings, combining the virtual and the real, in order to be more confusing.

Just like now, first sincerely apologize and say that he will take responsibility, but then change the subject at the end and advertise for Sluggish Studios.

Would everyone think that Meng Chang was really remorseful?

Of course not!

On the contrary, it would be easier to arouse everyone's resentment, and it would be done very naturally, without leaving any traces.

After all, Meng Chang's Weibo had millions of fans, and soon after this Weibo post was sent out, a large number of netizens replied.

"A zombie?"

"Damn, you liar still has the face to come out and talk?"

"Seeing that Lengmian Guniang is doing well in Tengda Group's hands, you dare to come out and try to get attention?"

"This Weibo post you wrote can be summed up in four words: shameless!"

"That's right, it's full of clichés, and you can't see any remorse at all. On the surface, you're apologizing, but in reality, you're promoting your new project and trying to use this Weibo account with millions of fans to continue to make money!"

"Sluggish Studios actually hired Meng Chang to do the promotion? Are they out of their minds!"

"Hehe, they're not stupid. In the internet age, a bad reputation is better than no reputation. You can see it from the previous incident of riding on Tengda's popularity. This Sluggish Studios is doing everything possible for popularity, which is a perfect match for Meng Chang."

"Forget it, now you can sentence this VR glasses to death. Anything that is related to Meng Chang is definitely not a good product. It's over, it's over!"

Looking at the comments from everyone, the corners of Meng Chang's mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

Although there were many comments scolding him, Meng Chang wasn't angry at all, but very happy.

Because this showed that his bad reputation was indeed useful, and the effect was immediate!

One Weibo post was enough to make everyone scold Sluggish Studios as well, and this effect of incidental slander was unmatched.

President Pei's plan had succeeded another step!

Seeing that all the comments under his Weibo were scolding him, Meng Chang was finally relieved. The next step was to edit the promotional video and then post it online and blow it up, further exacerbating the players' aversion!

Of course, the editing of the video was naturally handled by a professional, and Meng Chang didn't have to do it himself.

He still had more important things to arrange.

President Pei had already told Sluggish Studios about this promotional plan and asked them to fully cooperate. Therefore, according to the previous plan, Sluggish Studios had already sent 100 mass-produced versions of the Doubt VR glasses to the advertising and marketing department.

In fact, Doubt VR had already entered the mass production stage, and the production capacity was definitely not just this much.

But President Pei only wanted 100 units.

The reason was to deliberately create a sense of scarcity in the early stage, causing resentment among players.

Moreover, these VR glasses were not for sale, but were to be given away for free to some UP masters in the digital and gaming areas who had a bad track record of accepting money for promotion, and also to give them some "marketing funds" to let them desperately promote the VR glasses.

If these 100 glasses were sold, it would indeed not be enough, not even enough to fill the gap between their teeth.

But if they were given to UP masters, it would be more than enough, and there would even be some left over. Even those small UP masters with a few thousand fans might be able to get one.
