I started a new theatre and performance group called StoryZ because I think storytelling is at the center of what it means to be human, Yes, sometimes people weave tales that end up as conspiracy theories, but my premise is still sound.
However, not everyone who tries to tell a story is any good at it. One of the places for the least effective storytelling is ads for gaming apps. They pop up often on one of the games I play (I get rewards for the ads so I don’t have to put money in the game), so I am constantly subjected to sub-par storytelling.
Case in point: this one, now for Fortune Tower, but just yesterday it was for Millionchance. Same ad, except it says the new game name when it said the old game name before. A very pregnant Chinese woman in a restaurant inquires about the cost of a meal.
He tells her how much, and she says, “Already paid.” I assume this means she transferred the money to him via her phone.
Then, as she starts to move away with a bowl (that seems to contain less food than $50 should buy, I would think) he stops her, and says:
And here I am immediately lost. Does it cost more for a pregnant woman? Is he urging her to donate funds for another pregnant woman? Is he accusing her of not paying? I have no damn idea. Luckily she can call the company and get money transferred to her account, and alert the boss of the company (who just happens to be at the same restaurant) of this process, so he orders the operator to make payouts automatic (as if anyone actually ever gets a payout)—but who cares? What the heck is going on?
These people who make these ads really need to consult someone who knows how to tell a clear and coherent story.
