Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 788: GPL’s Spring Competition Promotion Publicity

At Fish-Catching Internet Cafe...

Pei Qian sipped his coffee as he read the latest news.

He had sold the shares of Cold-Faced Lady and earned a huge sum of money. That had dealt a huge blow to Pei Qian. Where to spend the money that he earned had become a very problem for him.

“There hasn’t been any good news for a long time...”

It could be said that there had been a lot of problems recently. He had casually invested in FV club, but the club had won the championship in the blink of an eye. Pei Qian had personally been there, and he had been made into a world-renowned painting. Even the Cold-Faced Lady had made a huge profit, and he now had an additional sum of money that he did not know where to spend it.

Painful!

Pei Qian felt melancholic. Even Fish-Catching Internet Cafe’s coffee was no longer fragrant.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up as he browsed the webpage.

“Long Yu Corporation released a special promotional video for IOI’s local server? Not bad, not bad. They finally made a move.”

“This is good news. Create some waves, IOI!”

Pei Qian could not help but be overjoyed. Indeed, IOI was still the key when it came to good news!

Dayak Corporation, Finger Games, and Long Yu Corporation, these three big companies were working together to finally give GOG some pressure.

Pei Qian immediately opened the promotional video.

On Aili Island’s website, the promotional video had been uploaded for two to three hours. It was currently on the hot charts. All sorts of bullet screen comments and comments were rapidly flying across.

“Not bad, quite handsome!”

“It looks a little similar to the publicity film for GOG’s international invitational tournament. However, the scenery in Shanghai is good, and the local special is good. Long Yu Corporation has finally done something!”

“The players of FV don’t look the same as the others. It’s hard to look away from them!”

“The meaning is not bad, the lines are not bad. Long Yu Corporation has done things properly in the promotional video. It is worth encouraging if they did not lose to Tengda.”

While some viewers felt that IOI’s promotional video was imitating GOG’s World Series promotional video, there was no need to nitpick.

Promotional videos had similar styles after all. As long as there were no obvious signs of plagiarism in action, camera, or creativity, there was no need to keep harping on it.

Obviously, Long Yu Corporation did not intend to plagiarize either. They had only hired a top-notch filming team and used a similar E-Sports style. They had all combined with the originality of the game in terms of the players’ movements, details, lines, and the like so their reviews were not bad.

The promotional video was very popular especially with the fact that Long Yu Corporation had hired some fake reviewers. It received positive reviews on various forums and websites.

Pei Qian could not help but nod in appreciation.

Look, this is a good example of copying homework!

The promotional video for GOG’s international invitational tournament had already given out the standard answers. It would be too much if IOI did not copy it.

The current situation was pretty good. As long as Finger Games and Long Yu Corporation worked a little harder and followed behind GOG, and then engaged in price wars and unfair competition, Pei Qian would be thankful.

“It looks like Dayak Corporation is going all out to complete the IOI World Tournament this time. It should be worth looking forward to. Hopefully, we can steal all the limelight from GOG’s Spring Festival Tournament.”

Pei Qian closed the promotional video with a beautiful vision in his mind.

However, he subconsciously refreshed the page and found a new update.

GOG had an official account on Aili Island’s website which Pei Qian also followed. This new post was released by GOG’s official account.

The title of the video was: GPL’s Spring Competition promotional video!

Pei Qian was stunned for a moment. He looked at the release time. One minute ago.

Obviously, they had seen IOI post a promotional video for the local server’s World Series. They had immediately followed up with the promotional video for the GPL’s Spring Competition to challenge IOI.

Most likely, this film had been completed recently, but it had not been released. They had seen IOI’s promotional video and decided to come and grab the attention.

Pei Qian was speechless. This was ridiculous!

So what if IOI became more popular?!

Why were these people from the E-Sports Industry Department so stingy!

Pei Qian had not heard that they were filming a promotional video for the GPL’s Spring Competition. Thus, he had been hoping to get lucky. What if the GPL’s Spring Competition promotional video was not as good as IOI’s?

Once they were outdone, wouldn’t the popularity be sent to IOI?

With this mindset, Pei Qian opened the video for the GPL’s Spring Festival Gala.

This video was also about three minutes long, slightly longer than IOI’s promotional video.

There was no logo at the beginning of the video. Instead, it went straight to the point, the logo was probably at the end.

...

A few strokes quickly outlined the scene of the ancient battlefield on the pale yellow Xuan paper.

On the desolate wilderness, the mountains collapsed, the riverbed dried up, and the ground was filled with cracks. Skeletons and armors piled up like mountains, and spears stood upright with incomplete flags fluttering above them.

A few crows pecked at the corpses, their eyes emitting a strange light.

All of a sudden, a bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, creating a crack in the dark clouds.

At the same time, a bleak and low voice-over sounded.

“Heaven and Earth fell into calamity, Gods fell.”

“Light and darkness will enter their final battle on the eternal battlefield.”

“The Executors of this cruel world will protect the glory of God with their mortal bodies!”

The lines on the pale yellow Xuan paper suddenly changed rapidly!

The piles of corpses on the ground became active. These undead were wearing broken armor and dragging their broken bodies. Their eyes shone with two dim lights as they reached out to grab the spears beside them.

The camera zoomed in, and the undead staggered to their feet, forming a sea of death.

However, at that moment, another bolt of lightning lit up in the sky. This time, it was very close to the camera. The brilliant heavenly might penetrated the thick dark clouds as a figure descended from the sky!

The camera looked up at the sky over the shoulders of the Undead Army. The dazzling white light instantly covered the entire scene. The lines on the pale yellow Xuan paper disappeared, and what replaced them was a completely realistic CG scene.

A figure with a standard body shape descended from the sky accompanied by the thunder. His figure was strong, and his muscles were filled with strength. The H4 Club uniform on his body was propped up by his muscles, and the H4 logo on his chest was especially eye-catching.

Pei Qian recognized this person immediately. He was the mid-laner of H4 Club, Huang Wang!

Huang Wang descended from the sky along with the lightning, tearing through the dark clouds in the sky. As he descended, golden light began to appear on his body. Countless pieces of armor appeared out of thin air and completely enveloped him.

The golden armor was surrounded by golden light effects. He smashed into the sea of undead on the ground like a cannonball accompanied by the brilliant heavenly might of lightning. His right fist smashed into the ground, and a blazing golden light spread out instantly, sweeping away all the undead around him!

Huang Wang stood up and looked into the distance in the deep pit.

The camera followed his back as he walked away. Huang Wang’s back was filled with all sorts of weapons as though he was the Thousand-Hand Guanyin. It was rather eye-catching, highlighting his identity as a god: Modest.

More lightning struck the dark clouds as the camera zoomed out. Players entered the Eternal Battlefield and became different heroes one by one.

Jiang Huan had transformed into the Literary Genius of the Winds, Ruan. The other professional players had also transformed into Traveler Bao Xu, Purgatory Duke, and other characters in the game. There were killings all over the Eternal Battlefield.

Finally, the scene arrived at the most desolate ancient temple in the center of the Eternal Battlefield.

Huang Wang’s Modest armor was removed from his body as he stood in the ruins of the surrounding walls. He returned to his original appearance. He pressed his hands on the dusty door of the temple and pushed it open!

A ray of light shot into the dusty temple, and the scene changed to a bird’s eye view. Two huge doors of the temple opened with a sound. Huang Wang dragged his long back and entered the temple.

He still looked insignificant in the huge temple even though he was muscular.

Huang Wang walked towards the huge throne in the middle of the temple with his head held high on the long, mottled and broken steps.

The surrounding braziers lit up one by one as he moved forward. A huge logo of H4 Club appeared above the throne. The broken stone steps became complete, and the entire temple regained its vitality.

However, as the golden light engulfed the entire temple, all the other entrances of the temple suddenly opened. Each of the sixteen teams had an entrance. ,The other entrances also had their representatives walk out other than from the main entrance that Huang Wang entered through.

All of these players were dressed in the team uniforms of their clubs. They were holding iconic weapons that represented heroes. It was as if they wanted to charge towards Huang Wang’s throne.

Another bolt of lightning flashed, and sixteen battle flags appeared on the thick stone pillars inside the temple. They emitted different light effects and dyed the entire temple.

Finally, everyone gathered in front of the highest throne and looked at the huge GPL spring competition trophy.

The image of the video and the majestic background music came to an abrupt stop. The black screen showed the logo of the Tengda Corporation, GOG Games and GPL league.

...

Pei Qian was stunned after watching the promotional video for the GPL’s Spring Competition.

This is too f*cking cool!

Pei Qian had just finished watching the promotional video for the IOI World Competition which he already felt was very cool. They had done all sorts of outdoor scenes, the scenes of the contestants, and the like very well.

After watching the promotional video for the GPL season, Pei Qian only had one feeling.

What the sh*t was that promotional video from before?!

There was no fear that it wouldn’t be appreciated if it stood up well to comparison.

If he had only watched IOI’s promotional video, he would feel that everything was good. The lines were a little awkward since they were dubbed by the players but it was tolerable.

However, after watching the promotional video for the GPL Spring Competition, IOI’s promotional video immediately became trash!

At first, Pei Qian was a little confused. Huang Wang descended from the sky, and the golden armor on his body automatically turned him into Modest. How did they manage to film this?

After taking a closer look, he understood that this was not a f*cking film. This was a proper game CG!

The lines drawn on the pale yellow Xuan paper at the beginning were hand-drawn by the artist. The rest of the content included the players in their team uniforms and transforming into heroes, the Undead, the Eternal Battlefield, the huge temple, and so on...

They were all game CGs!

GOG’s research and development department had specially created a high precision game model for each team’s representative. Then, they created the game’s CG based on this image and used it as a publicity film for GPL’s Spring Competition!

How could a live shot compare to game CGs?

It was a completely different production method. It was a complete downgrade!

In the previous promotional video, IOI was still filming the scenery of Shanghai and letting the players read the voice-overs themselves. When it came to GOG, all the players were CG-ed and became one with the characters in the game.

Their levels were immediately pulled apart.

There was a simple explanation in the summary of the video.

“The theme skins of the various teams will be sold one after the GPL’s Spring Competition. The profits from the skins will be allocated to the operations and operations of the teams. Please support your favorite teams!”

“The skin of the first global invitational champion is still being produced. Stay tuned!”
