Chapter 958: Change The Ga’s Sales Period!
March 29th, Thursday...
Three days had passed since the release of the news of the Fantasy Battle.
Pei Qian specially chose to make a trip to Tengda Gas today to see the developnt of Mission and Choice.
The reason why he did not go on the day he found out about the ‘Fantasy Battle Remake’ was because he wanted to deal with it coldly so that he would not leave the impression that ‘Boss Pei was in a hurry’.
Pei Qian knew very well that his attitude would severely affect Tengda Gas’ willpower and working state.
If Pei Qian had gone to watch Mission and Choice on the sa day that the news of Fantasy Battle was released, Hu Xianbin and the others would definitely have felt that Boss Pei had high hopes for the ga and was worried about them. Furthermore, they would have felt a strong sense of danger and would have worked 120% harder to finish the project.
However, Pei Qian had purposely waited three days before going, showing that he did not care. Naturally, Hu Xianbin and the others would not feel that threatened.
Thus, Pei Qian’s main goal this ti was to appease Hu Xianbin and the others. He wanted them to underestimate the enemy in the Fantasy Battle. That would set the stage for Mission and Choice to fail!
Pei Qian strolled to Tengda Gas and saw that everyone was focused on their work.
The chief designer of the project, Hu Xianbin, frowned. He was shrouded in an anxious atmosphere.
At that mont, he saw Boss Pei walk in from the main door. His dim eyes suddenly lit up.
This feeling was like a withered seedling eting sweet rain, or a terminally ill patient eting a divine doctor!
He imdiately stood up. “Boss Pei!”
His voice was filled with indescribable joy.
Now that Boss Pei was here, the sky was clear. Now that Boss Pei was here, Mission and Choice would be saved!
Hu Xianbin had heard about this news the mont the promotional video of Fantasy Battle was released.
After watching the video and the netizens’ comnts, Hu Xianbin almost felt depressed. He nearly vomited blood.
How could he be so unlucky!
Hu Xianbin was already considered a “long-lasting” chief planner of Tengda Corporation, considering their relative ‘longevity’. He had taken over as the acting chief planner for GOG’s mobile ga when Li Yada was forced to travel. After that, he was responsible for the developnt of ‘Struggle’ and ‘Mission and Choice’.
In the eyes of the outside world, he should have the title of ‘gold dal producer’.
However, Hu Xianbin knew himself very well.
GOG’s mobile ga was a transplant client-side ga. The main reason why it could be done well was because the client-side ga had made a good start. Struggle’s success was entirely attributed to Boss Pei. He was only an executor. Saying that he was the chief designer was no different from executing the planner. As for Mission and Choice, it was only settled with the help of Boss Pei, Huang Sibo, Lu Mingliang, Li Yada, Bao Xu, and the other chief designers and core mbers.
Speaking of which, he had done three big projects. Each of them was very impressive, but he was not in charge of any of them. He did not even have a chance to be the chief contributor!
Under such circumstances, Hu Xianbin was already under a lot of pressure. After all, Mission and Choice had invested a huge amount of money, and he had the heavy responsibility of ‘continuing Tengda Gas’ legend and ‘washing away the sha of the nation’.
If he failed, how could Hu Xianbin face his elders?
As the ga was about to be released, Hu Xianbin frantically tried to adjust his ntal state. At first, he had almost cald down. However, he did not expect that ‘Fantasy Battle’ would appear out of nowhere!
Thus, all of his previous worries had resurfaced and were becoming more intense.
For the past three days, Hu Xianbin had been very anxious. He had subconsciously opened the promotional video for ‘Fantasy Battle’ and watched it over and over again.
The more he watched, the more guilty he felt!
He was worried that Mission and Choice would die. He wanted to do sothing, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not think of a good way to change it. Thus, he beca even more anxious.
He wanted to call Boss Pei to ask for instructions, but he was worried that Boss Pei was busy with other things. He was worried that it would not be good for him, the chief designer, to count on Boss Pei for everything. Thus, after hesitating for a long ti, he still could not make the call.
Hu Xianbin was overjoyed now that he saw Boss Pei. It was as if he had finally obtained a second life!
Pei Qian asked in concern, “Eh? Why do you look so pale?”
“Have you been working too hard recently?”
“I’ll give you a week off. Go back and have a good rest. Co back to work after you’ve conserved your energy.”
Hu Xianbin was shocked. Holiday?
The chips were down, Mission and Choice was going to go on sale next month and be crushed by Fantasy Battle. He can’t wait to work overti every day. How could he be in the mood to take a break?
He quickly said, “Boss Pei, I don’t want to take a break. I want to work overti!”
Pei Qian’s expression darkened. “Overti? Why are you so suicidal?”
Hu Xianbin said, “Boss Pei, have you not seen the promotional video for Fantasy Battle’?”
“Our ga will be released in a month. We don’t have ti!”
“Boss Pei, quickly give the order. How do you want Mission and Choice to be changed? Give us an unlimited amount of overti for the next month. I’ll definitely be able to change the ga before it’s released!”
Hu Xianbin spoke very impassionedly, as if he was a hero who would never return.
Pei Qian almost laughed out of anger. Alright, kid. I knew you had not completely changed your bad habit of working overti!
An employee like that should have been allowed to go ho for a holiday and reflect for a period of ti. However, on further thought, the more anxious Hu Xianbin was, the faster ‘Mission and Choice’ would die down. That was a good thing. Thus, Pei Qian forgave him and did not pursue the matter of Hu Xianbin working overti.
Pei Qian pulled an office chair from the side and sat comfortably on it. Then, he leaned back and crossed his legs.
“I’ve already watched the video.”
“It’s impossible to grant you overti.”
“There’s nothing much to change about the ga. The current state is perfect.”
“As for you saying that there’s still a month before our ga is released, that’s actually not very accurate. Your news is outdated.”
“I just received news that the release date of ‘Fantasy Battle’ has been decided. It will be on the 14th of next month, a Saturday.”
“Therefore, the release date of our ‘Mission and Choice’ ga and the movie’s schedule will be moved half a month in advance to the 14th of next month!”
“You can negotiate with the official platform about the release date of the ga. I’ve already asked Fei Huang Workspace to look for Lin Chang to arrange for the release date of the movie. There’s no problem.”
Hu Xianbin was completely stunned as he looked at Boss Pei, who was sitting across from him with his legs crossed and an extrely calm expression.
He almost suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Not only did he not delay because of the release of Fantasy Battle but he’s also deliberately pushing the release date to the sa date?!
“Boss Pei, why do this? There’s no need!”
“Forget about the ga. Why are we premiering the movie earlier?”
“Isn’t the May Day Golden Week a good schedule? What do you an by changing to the 14th of April?”
Hu Xianbin felt like his worldview was about to be overturned.
Pei Qian could not help but feel pleased as he looked at the dumbfounded Hu Xianbin.
Alright, it looked like he had made the right move!
In fact, at the beginning, the release date and film schedule of Mission and Choice were set on May 1st. That was because Zhu Xiaoce felt that May 1st was the Golden Week and was one of the best tis of the year. There would be a lot of people watching the movie.
On the other hand, the movie ‘Mission and Choice’ had invested a lot of money. Lu Zhiyao had also joined the movie. From any angle, it should not be a fake movie. It would not be a problem for it to dominate the May 1st pri-ti slot.
Since the ga was closely related to the movie, it had to be released on the sa day.
Pei Qian had always been very dissatisfied with this movie schedule. It was for the sa reason: if it was set at such a popular slot like May 1st, what if the movie exploded in popularity?
However, he did not have a good excuse to change the schedule.
Now, he had an excuse.
Pei Qian cleared his throat. “Didn’t they say that ‘Fantasy Battle’ is the eternal classic in RTS’s history?”
“It was too early for the original works to be released. Our company was born at the wrong ti and did not manage to run into it. Now that we are going to release a new version, our ‘Mission and Choice’ happens to be an RTS ga. Of course, we have to face it head-on!”
“Afraid that sales would be affected and change the release date? That’s what cowards do!”
“What’s more, ‘Mission and Choice’ is as good as other gas. We should be filled with confidence!”
“Since what we want to do is to ‘wash away the sha of the dostic gas industry’, and to show the glory of dostic gas to all dostic players and even the entire gaming world, we must not be afraid!”
“Whether it’s a few days earlier or a few days later, if the quality really isn’t good, we’ll still be scolded. It won’t change anything in essence.”
“On the contrary, we deliberately set the release date on the sa day. We can show a kind of bright sword spirit. Even if we lose, it would be comndable courage and not embarrassing!”
Hu Xianbin: “...”
Pei Qian’s confident and impassioned speech confused Hu Xianbin.
For so reason, his fearful ntality was completely gone, replaced by an indescribable calmness.
What Boss Pei said made sense!
If the goal of this ga was just to earn so small money, it would not be a problem to avoid Fantasy Battle. It was completely reasonable.
However, Mission and Choice had invested so much money that it could be said to have cut off all ans of retreat. Its goal was not only to earn a little money, but also to wash away the sha of the dostic gas and show the new style of dostically-produced gas to all players.
If he admitted defeat, wouldn’t he lose in terms of montum?
However, Hu Xianbin thought about it and said, “Boss Pei, I understand the release date of the ga, but the film schedule...”
