Chapter 117: How to Reverse the Reviews
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
April 3rd…
Tengda Network Technology Co., Ltd….
Bao Xu, Lu Mingliang, and all other employees were paying close attention to Ga Designer. The atmosphere in the company was very tense. Everyone looked very upset. Three days passed. Yet, judging from all aspects, Ga Designer had a very bad start!
Not only did the ga’s initial publicity not have a positive and encouraging effect, but it had also discouraged many players from playing the ga. The first group of players who experienced the ga did not have great reviews for the ga. The reviews were pretty mixed.
Ga Designer was different from previous gas. Ghost General and Ocean Stronghold had garnered imnse popularity for the company. Therefore, many players had anticipated the release of Ga Designer.
However, after going through the comnts section, one would realize that many players did not care about the deeper intentions behind the ga itself. After skimming over the ga, many of them would leave a bad review and forsake the ga!
“What on earth was that? It wasn’t fun at all. Are you sure this is produced by the sa R&D team as Ocean Stronghold? Why did the quality drop so evidently?”
“I think the ga’s only attraction is its graphics. There is only one ga mode and that makes it quite boring. The voice-over especially. Was that made deliberately to gross us out?”
“I feel like I was cheated. This is not my cup of tea!”
“I can’t understand the ga. It seems as though it was produced by a primary school kid.”
“Is the design team overconfident, or are the players not threatening enough? Did the success of Ocean Stronghold give them the illusion that the players would pay for anything that they produce?”
Everything else was similar to the above.
What made most players apprehensive was the initial experience in the ga. Few players could truly persevere through the ga and understand its deeper intentions. That caused the reviews for Ga Designer to be at two ends of the spectrum. Many players rated it one and five stars!
Lu Mingliang felt an imnse pressure on his shoulders. Did he screw up his first project after succeeding in Huang Sibo’s executive planner role? He wouldn’t be able to explain to his fellow coworkers and boss.
He looked at Bao Xu subconsciously. However, Bao Xu’s expression made his mood even gloomier. Bao Xu had an ‘I told you so’ look on his face! When Lu Mingliang talked to Bao Xu, he had asserted that there would only be two possible results for the ga.
It would either be an acclaid masterpiece or a terrible failure.
That was because this ga surpassed other works in their ti. Its concept was too pioneering, and its intentions were too deeply concealed. Ordinary players would most probably lose their patience before they could truly understand the true intentions behind the ga.
Lu Mingliang was even more apprehensive when he saw Bao Xu’s expression. “Brother Bao. Looking at how things are now. What should we do?” Lu Mingliang was not confident at all.
Bao Xu heaved a sigh and said, “Let’s wait. Boss Pei should have predicted such a situation. The only thing we can now do is to leave everything in god’s hands. If this really doesn’t work, we can only accept the consequences together with Boss Pei.”

Qiao Liang had re-watched the video that he made from the beginning to the end. He was very satisfied with it!
This video strongly resonated with him, and the ga content itself was very rich. Therefore, Qiao Liang had a lot of motivation as he produced the video. He sacrificed his sleep to complete the video within three days and had edited it multiple tis to achieve perfection!
This episode would be the first episode for a brand-new production called ‘Products of the Gods’. Qiao Liang had a feeling that this series will beco very popular and even more so than Trash Gas Diss!
However, before he released the video, Qiao Liang had to settle one issue.
That was… how could he provide an explanation for the previous video?
He had released two consecutive videos that were related to Ga Designer. People would have doubts about that. He did receive a commission for the previous video. However, the second video showed his true thoughts towards the ga and was very content-heavy.
The issue was if his fans would believe him.
Qiao Liang squeezed his brain juices to resolve this issue.
He was certain that if this issue was not resolved, it wouldn’t matter if he had released the second video or not. Most players would not scrutinize the content of the video and would still scold him terribly. However, if this issue was resolved aptly, he would be able to whitewash his first video! In that way, he would receive both fa and profit. Didn’t that sound amazing?
How could he reverse the reviews?
Qiao Liang pondered hard. Suddenly, he slapped his thigh. He had finally thought of a brilliant thod! The previous video was released on April Fool’s Day. The timing is apt.
Potato Web was his main battlefield. He had the most loyal fans on that platform who would be willing to hear his explanation. The venue is apt.
Moreover, he wasn’t the only person who published the video. Many other content creators did that, too. Their scripts were completely identical! The people are apt.
He had the right timing, venue, and people. Now, he only had one key question left to answer: Why would Tengda’s Boss Pei do sothing that took a lot of effort but yielded less than satisfactory outcos?
After contemplating for a long ti, Qiao Liang finally thought of a possibility. It could be explained as a large-scale April Fool’s performance art!
According to its definition, performance art was a modern art form. It was a set of behaviors and events that were carefully planned and presented by the artists themselves. Through communicating with people, the performance would gradually develop into an end result.
That completely coincided with this incident!
All the content creators produced their videos based on the sa draft directly provided by Boss Pei. After the video was published, it dealt huge damage to their fans. The video beca a completely failed marketing case study. In this incident, both Boss Pei and all the other live strears were performance artists!
This performance art had a strong influence…
Now that he thought about it, everything seed to make more sense. Their originally absurd behaviors seed to beco much more reasonable! However, this was rely an assumption.
Qiao Liang needed more evidence.
To justify his thoughts, Qiao Liang opened the Potato Web, ignored the massive volus of comnts and private ssages, and started searching for justification. He realized that after three days of insane bombardnt and continuous developnt of events, a
called ‘Qiao’s words’ or rather ‘Qiao-logy’ had beco popular! Moreover, many people uploaded videos and held an unofficial imitation competition!
They spoke in a mixture of Chinese and English and had pet phrases such as ‘wow’ and ‘aweso’. There were also many discourse fillers and onomatopoeia.
They had all beco a !
The ‘Qiao-logy’ phenonon was especially evident in unboxing videos in the digital channels. On one hand were the horrible results for Ga Designer. On the other hand were the popularization of ‘Qiao-logy’ and the revelry of the netizens.
Qiao Liang’s hands were shaking from excitent.
As I had expected, my guess was correct!
This was indeed a large-scale performance art, and it was an incredibly successful one!
Boss Pei, I’ve guessed it correctly!
He opened the video editor imdiately and added a segnt at the beginning of the completed video.
After finishing that, Qiao Liang could finally be satisfied with the video that he uploaded.
“Yes. Only this current video can befit the na series’ na ‘Products of the Gods’!
Although Qiao Liang was currently facing the biggest crisis in his career, he was certain that after the incense stick had burned three-quarters, no wait, after a few hours, his reputation on the internet would take a drastic turn!
