On the big screen at the Modu Bund, a video was looping.
"'Tomorrow' is about to launch its closed beta, and we're recruiting a thousand paid testers from various industries who have a clear understanding of their personal labels."
"Hello there, my name is Li Xiang, and I'd like to invite you to take a look at 'Tomorrow'."
"We hope that here, you can find your second life!"
"Thirteen thousand personality tags, endless random plot directions..."
The video first showed an extremely cool CG of a wasteland-style city, then the camera slowly focused on a street in the city center, where a teenager with headphones over his shoulders, dressed in black hip-hop attire, was speaking.
Tourists playing at the Bund stopped and turned to look at the big screen upon hearing the voice.
They were curious that a company would advertise a game in such a place.
And it was looped advertising, no less—talk about financial clout!
