At the beginning, Pei Qian didn't particularly care about this issue.

It's inevitable.

It's the same MOBA game, and a lot of inspiration from the designer is easy to come across together, not to mention the use of gold elements, which will be more similar, and it's normal to have some sense of déjà vu.

Just this little sense of déjà vu is not plagiarism.

The finger company is a big company, and it should still be faced.

But Pei Qian ghostly flipped through the comments of netizens on this set of skins, and suddenly realized that something was wrong with the situation.

Obviously, netizens also feel that this set of black and gold-themed champion skins feels somewhat similar to GOG's Modiste the Coin Hedgehog.

Among them, some netizens have the same opinion as Pei Qian, thinking that this is a simple "collision shirt", which is a coincidence.

But there are also many netizens who have different views.

"I don't think it's a coincidence!"

"You guys take a closer look at this picture, I put the coin hedgehog P into this set of black gold-themed champion skins, and it turns out that there is no sense of disobedience, and even inexplicable harmony!"

"How can this be explained?"

This netizen put a picture below.

The IOI heroes in the original set of champion skins have different poses, some standing, some half-squatting, and they are lined up horizontally, which looks quite handsome.

But this netizen is behind them, P on a huge Modist!

And this Modeste has been deliberately exaggerated, and the already burly and powerful figure has been further magnified, and the heroes of IOI are only up to his waist.

Modest's broad arms, thick arms, and golden light effects that spread like wings completely occupy the upper part of the picture, as if an angel had descended, enveloping all five IOI heroes below in his own golden light.

The difficulty of this P-picture is not high, because Modeste is cut from the high-precision original painting, and some additional golden effects are added.

But the final result is not disobedient at all, as if these six heroes are originally one, and the five heroes at the bottom are like Modest's little brother......

Soon, this picture sparked a heated discussion among netizens.

"I'll go, no sense of disobedience! It's just a perfect fit! ”

"Although Modeste's original painting has no elements of technology, the champion skins of these five heroes are inexplicably compatible with Modeste......"

"When I saw this picture, I suddenly realized a problem, that is, these five heroes are not only a little similar to the golden light special effects, but also a little similar in many places!"

"There are also many kinds of golden light effects, some are more inclined to gold coins, some are more inclined to glow, and some are like water patterns...... And the golden light effects used by Modest and this set of champion skins are closer to the feeling of gold coins, and the style is unified. ”

"And the five heroes of this series of skins all give people a feeling of dragging, which is also very similar to Mordise's character. You see the posture of these people standing, one by one, they are like twenty-five or eighty-thousand, and they are almost carved out of the same mold as Modist......"

"I've got gossip here! I have a friend who knows the staff of the FV Club, and it is said that this set of skins is a tribute to Mr. Pei! ”

"You know, the FV team started out as a second-rate team, so how could they win the World Championship? It is up to Mr. Pei to burn money to provide them with strong logistics support, and send data analysts to provide them with data support! Therefore, the two themes of this set of champion skins are 'golden' and 'data', which are to commemorate Mr. Pei! ”

"Is there such a thing? That makes sense, after all, Modest was designed based on Mr. Pei, and it was also designed to pay tribute to Mr. Pei, so naturally it would be a little bit of a collision in design......"

"I think you may be thinking too complicated, most of the original artists of the finger company are lazy and want to use the golden element, and I saw that the golden element of Modeste is very good-looking, so I 'borrowed' it!"

"It's not right for you to say that, you look down on the professionalism of the original artists of the finger company! I think it should be like this: Modeste's original painting is the work of Ruan, which is already very good, Modeste is too famous as a representative hero of GOG, and the image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the original artist of the finger company has seen too much, and when he wants to create some original paintings with gold elements, he unconsciously and subconsciously uses Modeste's art style......"

Players have different opinions, and they can't tell which of these gossip is true and which is false.

But in the discussions, the players gradually established a consensus.

Indeed like!

Especially after this picture of P came out, it looked more and more like.

As for why, everyone has their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone. Some people think that the original artist of the finger company is deliberately borrowed, and some people think that the original artist of the finger company is an unintentional mistake and a creative crash.

But no matter how you discuss it, one thing will not change: this set of skins is completely tied to the image of Modest!

The influence of this P picture is so extensive and profound that many players always feel as if something is missing when they see the initial original painting of the five heroes of Black Gold Technology standing together.

What's missing?

Apparently there is a lack of Modis, who stands behind them and shelters them from the wind and rain with his broad arms!

Once this setting is accepted, this set of champion skins of black and gold technology can no longer exist independently, but is firmly tied to Modeste.

This is the case not only because they look alike, but also because of the story behind this set of champion skins.

It can be said that without the extravagant spending and data support of Mr. Pei (Modeste), there would be no FV team to win the championship, and naturally there would be no this set of black and gold-themed champion skins.

Therefore, many elements inside and outside the game firmly bind the image of this set of champion skins and the image of Modeste, and can no longer be separated.

What's even more terrifying is that players are constantly digging and deriving more meanings......

……

Longyu Group.

Eric flipped through the comments on the Internet, and his whole person was in a state of anger and shock.

"What the hell is going on!"

"How so?!"

"It's clear that we released the champion skin, why are we all talking about GOG, Modeste and Tenda?"

He also read Zhao Xuming's propaganda plan, and he didn't feel any problems at all, and felt that even if Mr. Pei counterattacked, he would have to wait until Xia Xuan.

However, I didn't expect that the champion skin, which was originally foolproof, made a fuss!

The turn was so hurried that Eric had been concentrating on other things before, and he was not fully mentally prepared, and almost flashed his waist.

Everyone else in the conference room also lowered their heads, and they didn't dare to breathe.

Because the situation is just too bad right now.

After the Finger Company and Longyu Group released the Black Gold Technology-themed champion skin, although it caused a good response on the Internet, everyone was talking about Tengda and GOG's Modist!

Netizens who discuss this set of skins themselves, almost none!

What's even more terrifying is that players have opened their minds and dug up and derived many other meanings.

Modiste represents Mr. Pei, it is he who created this set of champion skins of black and gold technology, gold represents Tengda's great money, and the strong data support provided by Mr. Pei on behalf of science and technology, this set of skins symbolizes that Mr. Pei formed a team to conquer IOI, and left a strong mark forever in the hall of honor of IOI......

After a few months, people recalled the picture of FV killing all sides as the representative team of Tengda and Mr. Pei in the previous ioi World Finals.

In fact, Finger Company had already expected it when it was making champion skins for the FV team, and when this set of skins came out, it would definitely be whipped again.

But I never expected that the whip corpse would come so violently and so undescriptively!

Eric took a deep breath and looked at Zhao Xuming.

Zhao Xuming shrank his head.

What do you think I'm doing? What does this have to do with me?

Indeed, I did the right thing about the propaganda program.

But I've just made a very normal and reasonable publicity plan based on the champion skin! Isn't it the skin itself that went wrong this time?

You should settle accounts with the person who designed the skin!

Seeing Eric's unkind expression, Zhao Xuming felt that he had to immediately and immediately throw out the black cauldron that was about to be buckled on his head.

"This must be Mr. Pei's conspiracy!"

"Mr. Pei is really calculating, this is obviously a plan that has been made since the FV team won the championship, and I only want to see it today!"

"Let's think about it carefully, what is the current state of the domestic MOBA game market?"

"In fact, the incremental market is about to be carved up, the popularity of MOBA games is already very high, and the players of other types of games have basically been converted."

"So, now the war between GOG and IOI has gradually translated into the stock market. That is, players who want to grab each other! ”

"It's easier said than done."

"MOBA games themselves have a high learning cost, and it can be very uncomfortable to play another game after being familiar with it. At this time, you need to find a breaking point! ”

"This breaking point can be a highly recognizable hero image, or it can be a story that players talk about and pass on by word of mouth."

"And Mr. Pei has combined these two points!"

"After the FV team won the championship, Mr. Pei knew that we were going to make champion skins for the FV team, so he must have told the FV team early on to make a series of skins similar to the style of Modeste."

"At the same time, in order to dispel our suspicions, the members of the FV team deliberately did not mention Modeste when they asked for it, but in the follow-up communication, they asked our artists to repeatedly revise the plan and guide it to Modeste's style little by little."

"That's why the final product will be very similar to Modeste!"

"Mr. Pei's purpose is so vicious!"

"Team FV is his team, and in a short period of time, he has transformed Team FV from a second-rate domestic team to a world champion, winning the first overall title of the IOI World Finals. This is a memorable honor for Mr. Pei. ”

"But there's clearly more to him than that."

"The reason why he made such a set of champion skins is to firmly combine this set of champion skins with the image of Modeste, and when IOI players see the champion skin in the future, they will naturally associate it with Modeste, and then think of GOG and Tengda Group!"

"This is a breaking point, which will subtly make ioi players recognize and accept GOG, and gradually eat away at our player base ......"

"This is all Mr. Pei's conspiracy, and it has nothing to do with the skin promotion plan I made!"

After listening to Zhao Xuming's words, everyone nodded one after another, and a sudden expression appeared on their faces.

With such an analysis, Mr. Pei is indeed vicious!

It turns out that this conspiracy was already planned when the FV team first won the championship?

Now it seems that Mr. Pei's plan is really seamless, not only deceiving everyone in the finger company and Longyu Group, but also deceiving the players.

It wasn't until the champion skin officially began to be promoted and the wood was already in the boat that the dagger was exhausted and the throat was sealed with a sword!

Now, it is too late for Finger Company and Longyu Group to regret it.

Even if they rework this set of champion skins now, it won't help, and it's even worse.

Players will still associate this set of champion skins with Modest, and if it is redone, it is equivalent to Mr. Pei winning again, and it is effortless to see the finger company make two jokes.

Therefore, it is clear that this set of champion skins is digging the foot of the wall of ioi, and it is obviously making a wedding dress for Tengda, but it can't be withdrawn, so it can only continue to sell it!

It's just too uncomfortable.

Eric closed his eyes slightly and sighed silently.

Zhao Xuming is right, this accident really has nothing to do with him, it is not a problem with the publicity plan, but a problem with the skin itself.

You can't throw the pot on the designers of the champion skins, after all, they just did their job seriously.

Eric and Zhao Xuming have been fighting against Mr. Pei, but they have not been able to see Mr. Pei's move, not to mention those designers who are far away on the other side of the ocean, have never dealt with Mr. Pei, and are only responsible for designing skins?

No one can blame this matter, and if you want to blame it, you can only blame Mr. Pei for being too cunning!

Eric leaned back in his chair and didn't speak for a long time.

When he became the head of the Greater China Region of IOI again, he was originally ambitious, and he felt that he had found Tengda's life, and it was not a problem to defeat Mr. Pei.

But now, he only has a deep sense of powerlessness.

If you persist, you don't seem to see any hope at all.

What to do?
