Losing Money to Be a Tycoon

Chapter 1645: Decisive Moment

“After understanding the meaning of this ending, everyone will look back. You will obtain some new insights during the entire process.”

“Many people feel that the gameplay is monotonous, and this monotonous comes mainly from the following aspects.”

“First of all, the content of the battle is monotonous. The protagonist might be constantly changing his prosthetic limbs to strengthen his ability, but the enemies he fights will always be the same. Their appearance might be changing, but the feeling that battles give people is not fundamentally different.”

“Second is the monotonous content outside of battles. The protagonist’s comrades would always die one by one. They would have forgotten about them before the players could remember their names. The protagonist would obtain new weapons, new teammates, new equipment. There was no explanation in the game where the equipment and money came from.”

“Moreover, the game setting is monotonous. Apart from some indoor scenes and processes similar to banquet and celebration, Captain Lu De only rushed from one battlefield to another most of the time. The scenes on these battlefields are different, but the feeling of battle is exactly the same.”

“In the end, the game’s characters were monotonous, especially at the critical celebration party. Captain Lu De looked around and realized that there were no familiar faces in the resistance army. His teammates who had fought side by side were long dead. The only ones who looked familiar were the people in charge of the various corporations. These people in charge looked familiar, but he could not name them at all.”

“Do you feel aggrieved? That’s right, that’s how Captain Lu De really feels.”

“When gamers experience the entire game for the first time, they would be attracted by the intense scene and driven by the goal of clearing the game. They would be able to feel every upgrade of their prosthetic limbs and feel their blood boil in such a battle.”

“It’s the same for Captain Lu De. He has been desperately fighting to modify himself because he has overthrown the visible goal of Tengda Corporation. He can also see his progress after every battle.”

“However, when the player and Captain Lu De reached the latter half of the story and saw the past and future of the entire story, the situation suddenly became strange.”

“The game did not explain where these resources and new soldiers came from. It’s actually very simple—they were sent by other corporations. The activities of the Resistance allowed other corporations to see hope of overthrowing Tengda and replaced it. Thus, more and more corporations provided support to the Resistance.”

“The soldiers of the Resistance died one by one. That doesn’t matter because these soldiers are just a consumable to the corporations. Captain Lu De might have been able to survive not because he is brave and kind in battle, but because he is a god supported by these corporations. He has to survive as a spirit to maintain this war against Tengda Corporation.”

“That’s why Captain Lu De was never the real protagonist of the entire story. What he did was to pick up the gun that the corporation gave him and attack Tengda Corporation.”

“Players would be brought into the first-person perspective of Captain Rude. Naturally, they would feel the same emotions as Captain Rude.”

“At the second and third weeks, players’ emotions would become stronger and stronger. They would think about the meaning of the entire operation? This is the effect that game designers want to achieve.”

“One last question. Who is the antagonist of this game? What is he opposing in the thoughts expressed by the creator?”

“Some might think that Tengda Corporation is slandering itself.”

“Some people also think that Tengda Corporation is just putting on a show.”

“However, I want to say that these views are too shallow. If you touch the core of the world just by defeating a large company, then the task would be too simple.”

“Tengda Corporation is not defaming itself or others. In fact, no specific company is worth Tengda using a special game to criticize.”

“The designer’s true hope is to show the invisible will that wanders around the world, the will that constantly build Tengda Corporation and jump into other corporations when Tengda Corporation is exhausted.”

“The boss of the company who inherited Tengda Corporation’s data and smart system might think that he would become the ruler of the entire world. However, in fact, it has been made clear in the game that he is not the ruler but a puppet.”

“This boss is no different from the empty swivel chair in the last scene.”

“That’s why I think that this game is more self-reflection than self-mockery. Instead of saying that it’s attacking a specific company, it’s more like it’s warning all the companies.”

“I know that the story of ‘The Future You Choose’ has a movie version and has already won an award.”

“To be safe, I should combine the content of the movie after watching the movie and analyze it in depth. I might be able to see more details in the comparison.”

“However, those who are truly capable do not need stability.”

“I’m very sure that the core and views expressed in the game will definitely be applicable in the movie.”

“Of course, there might be more ways to interpret it in the movie because of the different forms of expression. However, no matter what, they would definitely reach the same destination.”

“Everyone, you can regard my video as a prediction. Is this prediction accurate? We’ll see the results after the movie is released!”

After watching Teacher Qiao’s game interpretation video, Lu Xiaoping leaned back in his chair, his mind blank.

He had not expected Teacher Qiao to predict his moves!

Teacher Qiao’s video might have been created independently but it cleverly resolved the two biggest doubts the outside world had about the game while answering the meaning of the game.

Why was the gameplay relatively monotonous? It was the same as Repent and be Saved. It was to break the dimension wall.

Was Tengda mocking itself or mocking it openly and covertly? No, Tengda only treated its own company as an embodiment. He did not want to criticize a specific company or a certain body, but a void will.

Teacher Qiao’s video analysis could be said to be penetrating and soul-stirring compared to the criticisms that were stuck on the surface.

No one would care about the superficial criticisms after these core were released. This was equivalent to a dimensional reduction attack.

All the hard work that the anti-Tengda Alliance had put in to hype public opinion would naturally be wasted.

Lu Xiaoping stood up and walked around the hotel room twice.

He could not admit defeat now. He had to muddle the water even if he had to harass them endlessly.

That was because the movie would be released this weekend. If he did not do anything to confuse others, Teacher Qiao’s video would definitely become popular. That would create an excellent publicity effect for the movie ‘The Future You Choose’.

This would definitely not be good for the movie ‘My Property’.

Lu Xiaoping pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind.

It should be impossible to find a higher meaning or find a loophole in Teacher Qiao’s video. That was because Teacher Qiao was indeed reasonable and the content of the entire video was very solid.

However, that did not mean that Lu Xiaoping did not have any room to operate. He still had two last moves in order to protect his own movie.

One was to overinterpret it, the other was to forcefully package it to gain popularity.

On one hand, when he could not completely refute Teacher Qiao’s video, he changed to defense to emphasize that Teacher Qiao was over-interpreting the game’s content. Excessive clarification might not be enough to reverse public opinion, but it could at least continue the argument between the two sides for a certain period of time.

After all, metaphors were a double-edged sword. It would stimulate players’ or audience’s imagination and also cause some over-interpretation. Some normal meaning would also be understood as over-interpretation. This would dispel the metaphors to a certain extent.

On the other hand, he wanted to paste the movie ‘My Property’ on it and compete with the movie ‘The Future You Choose’. He also wanted to express the meaning behind the movie ‘My Property’.

This approach could create a tense and opposing atmosphere before the movie was released. The more popular the movie ‘Future You Choose’ was, the more popular ‘My Property’ would be. Both sides might fight to the death, but fans on one side would always watch the other party’s performance out of curiosity.

All of this was based on Lu Xiaoping’s absolute trust in the quality of “My Property”.

Lu Xiaoping immediately called Nie Yunsheng and instructed his subordinates to do it urgently.

After rounds of confrontation, both sides finally entered the final deciding moment.

Success or failure depended on this!

September 21st, Saturday, midnight.

Pei Qian sat in the theater, in a corner, waiting for the movie to start.

The midnight show was usually the most important scene for a movie because those who came to the midnight show were basically hardcore viewers. What’s more, the reputation of the midnight show would directly affect this movie. The reputation and evaluation of the entire schedule would follow.

However, Pei Qian was not watching ‘The Future You Choose’. Instead, he was watching ‘My Property’, which Vinci Media had been working so hard to promote.

To Pei Qian, since the movie ‘The Future You Choose’ had already won the Golden Lion Award, it was impossible for him to film badly.

The key to this success or failure was whether My Property could surpass the future that you chose in certain aspects.

The battle of public opinion between the two sides had been very intense over the past two days. Both movies had been very popular.

The anti-Tengda Alliance kept attacking the game and movie that you chose, but most of the attacks were resolved by Qiao Liang.

Even so, the anti-Tengda Alliance had not given up. Obviously, they were using this movie as their last line of defense.

From the looks of the situation online, there seemed to be hope for the movie ‘My Property’.

He might not have the support of many big-name actors and famous directors, but the script of this movie was very outstanding. The entire team participating in the production was also very dedicated. It was very likely that they would become the biggest dark horse in the near future.

Pei Qian was filled with anticipation.
