Snap, snap, snap...
Crash--
The sound of opening a cold soda sounded in the living room.
In the bathroom, the sound of gurgling shower water could also be heard faintly.
Shen Miaomiao drank two cans of ice water in one breath, put the ice-cold soda water in her hand against her hot face, then walked to the window and opened it, letting the late autumn wind cool her down.
In the bathroom, the cool water surged and washed down from the top of Gu Sheng's head, extinguishing the blazing fire in his body.
It was obviously late autumn and early winter.
But the two of them seemed to have a temperature alarm, one was air-cooled and the other was water-cooled to cool themselves down.
In the late autumn night, the souls of two people who almost had an accident gradually cooled down.
But you have to know.
Energy is conserved.
Since the fiery impulse was not released in the crisp autumn night, Comella would have to endure the swelling passion that had nowhere to rest.
The next day!
The Golden Wind was announced for the first time in history and launched with great fanfare!
China.
On the Binjiang Technology Building, a huge "SEKIRO" banner is unfurled at the highest point of the landmark CBD.
Outside the Shenzhou Xunteng Game Building, a huge concept poster hanging down is tens of meters long and extremely eye-catching.
In front of the headquarters building of Zhongjing Yiyou, the flags of Yiyu x2 and "Sekiro" danced one after another, which was dazzling.
And beyond that.
The Dongdaemun shopping district in Seoul is crowded with people. The Golden Wind logo on the left side of the entrance and the Sekiro poster on the right side echo each other.
There are many tourists on Kuala Lumpur's smart tram, and Sekiro's promotional video is playing on the small TV in the carriage.
The Siam Paragon in Bangkok is brightly lit, and the posters of "Sekiro" are gathered together on the closed elevator doors.
On billboards on the London Underground, on cruise ships passing by the Sydney Opera House, behind gliders flying over Florida.
There are endless advertisements and strange ways of advertising about Sekiro and Golden Wind.
With China as its base, the Golden Wind adopts encirclement tactics on the Asian level, giving up neon, and infiltrating propaganda into other Asian countries in a cheap and high-quality way.
At the same time, from Europe in the west to the United States in the east, the publicity and distribution of "Torii" on a global scale was squeezed out to the greatest extent.
For a time, the Ke La promotion team headed by Tetsuya Moritani was overwhelmed by the joint attack of Gu Sheng and Shen Miaomiao.
It is said that a shopping mall is like a battlefield, and Xuanfa's booth is actually equivalent to the respective positions of both parties.
Obviously, Golden Wind is very aware that his influence and connections in Neon are far inferior to Comella.
Therefore, they simply gave up the neon position and started frantically attacking Comella's overseas strongholds.
Unmoving like a mountain, aggressive like fire!
In the past, the Golden Wind was not announced, not because they were unable to do so, but because they were unwilling to do so!
But this time, they plan to announce it!
and!
It's Shen Miaomiao - the only daughter of Shen Wanlin, the helmsman of a global asset complex - who wants to promote her company's products!
Don't look at the monk's face, look at the Buddha's face, as long as it has anything to do with Shen Capital, whether it is its industries or partners.
Who dares to treat Miss Shen family coldly?
What's more, today's Golden Wind is guarded by the two largest gaming conglomerates in China, with the support of China Entertainment Electronics and the official endorsement behind it!
If you really want to announce it, it will be like a rainbow piercing the sun, or a dragon rising out of the sea!
It turned the gaming circle upside down and everyone was in an uproar!
A hammer blow in the east and a stick in the west knocked Moritani-san into a daze, and he was overwhelmed!
"We can no longer let the golden wind spread like this,"
At the press conference, Kazuo Koizumi frowned and looked at President Kamikoshi Keimasa:
"Now, we have built up the Neon position to be impregnable, but if we let them continue to announce it like this, I'm afraid we will only have the local position left!"
Of course Kamigoshi Keimasa knew that what Koizumi said was true.
He was also frowning.
Who knows, Jin Zhifeng, who has always shown little interest in Xuan Fa, seems to have been given a shot this time.
Even last night, when he saw the photo of a glider flying over Florida with a promotional banner for Golden Wind, he couldn't help but exclaimed that it was outrageous.
Overseas positions were lost one after another.
Kamegoshi Keimasa couldn't help but feel anxious and angry, and looked at Moritani:
"Director Moritani, in more than a week, the video game festival will start,"
"Facing the offensive of the Golden Wind, in your opinion, what should we do next?"
Everyone looked at Moritani Tetsuya.
I saw him pondering for a moment.
He said: "Stick to it."
"Stick to it?!"
Hearing this, Kazuo Koizumi couldn't help but exclaimed:
"Director Moritani! You mean... we just watch them encroach on our overseas propaganda positions?"
"right,"
Moritani Tetsuya nodded:
"Because the video game festival will be held in Neon after all, and Dongjin is a battleground for both our military strategists,"
"If we divert our energy to deal with their overseas positions at this time, it will inevitably cause our domestic defense line to be weak,"
"Comela's neon influence is huge, but it's not so big that it can cover the sky with one hand,"
"Once we relax, it is very likely that the wind of gold will take advantage of it,"
"After all...our current enemy is not just the Golden Wind..."
Speaking of which.
Moritani sighed softly.
"What we are facing is the combined forces of Golden Wind, Yiyu, and Xunteng,"
"And behind this coalition, there is an even larger Shen Capital,"
"Even though Shen Capital has not made any move so far, the influence of that behemoth alone is enough to benefit Golden Wind in countless ways."
Moritani has a clear view of this publicity war.
In fact, it's exactly what he said.
If it were just a golden wind, Comella's announcement could crush them to death in minutes.
The main problem now is that there are too many people, companies, organizations, units helping Golden Wind!
Perhaps in terms of size, Comella is not inferior to the "Golden United Army".
But the problem is, the tentacles of this damn coalition are too broad!
It feels like there are people all over the world and in all walks of life who can be used by Golden Wind, and they all have the face that Mr. Xiao Shen can sell!
This is so fucking terrible!
She was even able to use American planes, London subways, and Kuala Lumpur's light rail to use the advertising spaces of these gadgets to promote "Sekiro."
What a special move!
The so-called clever woman cannot make a meal without rice!
Moritani really tried his best.
Unfortunately, he doesn’t have a good father!
but!
Although Moritani sighed repeatedly, he was not completely helpless.
After all, both of them are gaming companies.
No matter how outrageous, complex or shocking the announcement is, or how wide-ranging it involves.
It comes down to it.
In the end, they have to go back to games, back to Neon, back to Dongjin, back to this video game festival.
Now, in less than ten days, players and media from all over the world will gather in Neon.
As long as they can firmly maintain the dominance of "Torii" in Tojin, they will not be overwhelmed by the golden wind.
Wait for work with ease and stick to your homeland.
This is Moritani's strategy.
However!
Koizumi found it difficult to accept this.
Because in his opinion, this time both sides' 3S-level masterpieces are all for the world!
Nowadays, their overseas promotion positions are on fire, and the discussion of "Sekiro" has obviously soared around the world!
If this continues, in another ten days, they may only have the neon position left!
And someone who also had this idea was Kamegoshi Keimasa.
It's just that his thinking is at a higher level than Koizumi -
He needs to give an explanation to the board of directors and investors.
You know, since the last "Silent Hill" project failed, the board of directors and investors have been criticizing him.
But this time, they spent so much money and found so many people, and finally used neon as the basis to expand the promotion of "Torii" to all parts of the world, making the situation great.
Retreat at this time?
Return to neon native land?
What about the expenses previously spent?
How to explain the overseas publicity situation where big money is spent on small things and fires are everywhere?
We co-wrote it for a long time, and the final result of the operation was that we got the initiative to promote the game in Neon King?
Then it costs tens of millions of dollars?
Koizumi doesn't want to retreat.
You cannot retreat.
Moritani wanted to retreat, but he couldn't even take a step back amid all the vetoes.
Ever since, Comella's counterattack in overseas markets began.
The two sides fought in confusion.
In just five days, the outcome was decided.
Golden Wind's overseas promotion campaign has become increasingly sluggish and shrinking, and Comella has regained the upper hand.
The news came.
From Kamigoshi Keimasa to Koizumi Kazuo, everyone in the company sang triumphant songs and rejoiced.
Everyone is full of energy, their backs are straight, and they are ready to welcome the upcoming Dongjin Game Festival!
Only one person can't laugh...
…
That night.
Moritani tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Lying on the tatami, I tossed and turned, feeling uneasy.
Pick up the phone and put it down, put it down and pick it up again.
It wasn't until the early hours of the morning that I finally made up my mind, turned over and sat up, clicked on the number, and made the call.
beep--
beep--
beep--
The phone rang several times.
A man's voice rang on the other end of the phone: "Saxili, Moritani-san, what's the matter with calling so late?"
good.
The man on the other end of the phone was Gu Sheng.
"Well……"
Moritani sighed and opened his mouth:
"Sorry, Gu Sang, it's really rude to bother you so late."
"Hey, it's okay,"
There was a rustling sound, and it sounded like Gu Sheng sat up:
"What's wrong?"
"Um--"
After groaning, Moritani hesitated and said:
"The previous suppression of propaganda against you, including this competition for overseas markets, were all planned by me,"
"I hope Gu Sang won't... mind too much."
Moritani's voice was low, feeling very sorry.
However, Gu Sheng, who had expected it, was not angry. He just smiled and said: "I will do my duty faithfully, Moritani-san. Do you think I am someone who does not distinguish between public and private matters?"
Hear the words.
Moritani was stunned.
Then he suddenly smiled and said, "That's right. A broad-minded person like Gu Sang will definitely not blame me for this."
Speaking of which.
There was silence on both sides.
Then, I heard Moriya continue to say:
"Today's call is mainly because of a...unkind request. I hope Gu Sang can help me clear up my doubts,"
"Oh, of course, if it's inconvenient, Gu Sang can refuse."
On the other end of the phone, Gu Sheng chuckled and said, "It's okay, Moritani-san says it's okay."
Moritani hesitated.
Then he spoke and asked:
"The shrinking of overseas promotions was Gu Sang's intention, right?"
moment.
Gu Sheng's voice sounded: "Yes."
silence.
There was a long silence.
Moritani Tetsuya closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
Strange to say.
The moment I got the answer.
He was originally feeling anxious, but now he fell to the ground.
After all, there are only three more days.
The Dongjin Game Festival is about to begin.
The promotion war between "Torii" and "Sekiro" is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed.
"All right……"
Moritani's mood was very complicated. He didn't know whether to laugh or sigh, and shook his head:
"Including Dongjin?"
It sounds like this is a bit confusing.
Most people couldn't understand what he was asking.
But Gu Sheng understood.
He opened his mouth, but instead of answering directly, he said:
"When you pass by Ginza at work tomorrow, you can stop and take a look. It should be more conspicuous."
"……well……"
Moritani nodded:
"Then...I won't disturb Gu Sang anymore, good night."
"Good night Moriya-san," Gu Sheng also hung up the phone: "See you in two days."
The moon sets and the sun rises.
The morning mist has not yet dissipated.
There were few pedestrians on the street. It was not yet the morning rush hour, so there were not many people on the road.
In the hazy autumn fog, a silver-gray Lexus passed through the fog.
Moritani held the steering wheel, turned slightly, and entered the service road.
Diagonally across the sparsely populated street, there are rows of gorgeous buildings.
The largest strip-style commercial building at the corner is the core of the Ginza business district. It is located on the so-called "Neon Cross Road" and occupies the most prosperous commercial area in Dongjin and even the most prosperous commercial area in Neon. .
at this time.
Several workers are working on the huge advertising space on the side facade of Mitsukoshi Department Store.
The jewelry advertisements that were originally lavished here have been replaced.
A huge roll of promotional posters is ready and waiting to be spread out.
The mist in the autumn morning is slightly cool.
Moritani Toru also lit a cigarette and wrapped his coat.
The workers above the building also shouted slogans at this moment——
"Yi Qi! Ni! San! (One, two, three)"
As the last number drifts into the autumn mist.
A giant-screen poster rolled out and was displayed in the most eye-catching position on the most prosperous section of Neon Road——
A man wearing a khaki coarse cloth jacket was holding a pestle knife with both hands, half-kneeling among the fluttering red leaves.
A face with sharp edges and sharp eyes, with deep and determined eyes.
In his hand, the samurai sword was shining coldly, and the left prosthetic limb was very precise.
On the right side of the screen, the main and subtitles are eye-catching——
【SEKIRO】
【Shadows Die Twice】
Moritani Tetsuya was silent for a long time while looking at the huge poster!
Then, he shook his head and smiled.
With helplessness, with bitterness, with irreparable loss.
The situation he was most worried about finally happened...
