Super Game Empire

Lin Zhihong smiled: "Mr. Yang, you forgot that the time difference between Los Angeles and Shangshanghai is 15 hours. Shangshanghai is now 12 noon, and Los Angeles is only 9pm last night."

Yang Yun patted his forehead: "I almost forgot about this. Let's go and connect with Jiang Shaoyun for me. I want to listen to the report from the United States."

Fox TV is responsible for the broadcast of WCG in North America. For the sake of years of friendship with Yang Yun, Merckard gave strong support this time. In addition to the WCG opening ceremony that started at 6 o'clock, it also started at 8:30 prime time.

I took half an hour to sort out the latest WCG battle reports, and scrolled the news and broadcast scores at the bottom of the screen all day, covering many states across the United States.

Three hours ago, hundreds of thousands of families in North America transferred their TV channels to Fox, waiting for the opening ceremony. Many are game enthusiasts, and many are from MD consoles, GG handheld consoles, and all the way to SS and PCs.

The loyal players, the whole family loves games, and games are the best way to adjust and relax in their daily lives.

Many families have wives preparing dinner, husbands and children watching programs in the living room and waiting for a big meal. More people simply order takeout on the phone and lean on the sofa to enjoy the opening ceremony.

Jiang Shaoyun set an example and worked overtime by himself. The headquarters in New York was busy. He directed a working group in the conference room. In addition to contacting Fox TV's front-line interview reporters, some of them were also focused on inquiring about the reactions of their competitor CPL. He himself

Holding coffee, leaning against the seat to watch the TV broadcast, thinking about something.

Because China starts at 9 a.m. during the day, there is no night. There is no grand fireworks and no colorful spotlights. The Shanghai Science and Technology Exhibition Center has built a huge stage with red banners hanging and Longtengduo posted everywhere.

A promotional poster for the game, with a complete set of band equipment in the center of the stage.

The host announced the start of the competition in Chinese and English, saving a lot of tedious processes and directly opening the show in the form of a song.

The music started, and Niu Huan from the mainland, Niu Dehua from Hong Kong, and U2 from Ireland sang the WCG theme song "Beyond-the-game" together, which made the audience feel excited and caused thousands of people to sing.

...

Beyond the game

Continuously surpassing

Beyond the game itself

Passion drives us to defeat our opponents

Face to face and enjoy the game with your heart

What you want to surpass is now

We will never fail

Let us burn the whole world

This is the World Esports Competition

...

The live effect is good, and the signal of global satellite TV live broadcast is also great. When this WCG theme song sounded, many people sitting in front of the TV also hummed. This song has been deeply rooted in people's hearts after more than half a year of global publicity.

Game fans have learned this song and are moved by the tenacious competitive spirit in the lyrics. Games are no longer simple game, but a life attitude and way.

The song ends. WCG's latest promotional video begins to play. The scene is full of big curtains and the TV screen is full of high-definition video format, which is much better than the scene.

The promotional video introduces Longteng’s competitive games in turn, and then leaves a question. What is competitive?

World Footballer Alien Ronaldo smiled strangely: "Sports are shooting through the opponent's door."

The mighty actor O'Neal shook his eyes while dancing mechanical dance: "Sports is to dominate everything under the basket, no one can break through my hands."

Michael Johnson, the men's 200m and 400m double champions at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, looked cool: "Sports are leaving everyone far behind."

Fu Mingxia, the women's diving double champion at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, stood on the 10-meter diving platform and smiled: "Competition is the diving posture of no one is better than mine."

Paralympic air pistol champion. Formula Ferrari Team, famous rugby star, dozens of sports competition stars formed a huge paste, gradually getting smaller and forming a huge picture, each of them has

Understand your own competitive spirit.

Every audience is also thinking about what the competitive spirit they understand is. There is only one champion. Is competition the only theory of championship?

Ronaldo pulled his feet and shot angrily. The ball flew through the goalkeeper's fingers into the net. He raised two thumbs and looked at the other ten Brazilian players running behind him, saying: "They still need them!"

O'Neal roared at the basket and gave the opponent a hot pot block. His team grabbed the ball and shot a long-lasting three-pointer in the last 2 seconds. The Minnesota Timberwolves turned defeat into victory. He waved his fists: "The competition still needs them!

”

Michael Johnson ran wildly, beside him was a trainer, a roaring coach, a nervous health care worker, a sweaty assistant holding the record book, he rushed through the finish line, gasped, and gave a grateful look back:

Competition still needs them!”

Fu Mingxia was scolded by the harsh coach and shed tears silently. She turned around and gritted her teeth to stand on the stage again. Her eyes were closed when she saw the nervous coach and logistics personnel.

, started to do diving and stretching preparations, and said voiceover: "The competition still needs them!"

No one succeeds by fighting alone. He is the only one who is glorious in a person's victory, but behind him are countless unknown devotees. These people make great contributions, and they are also part of the competitive team!

At the end of the promotional video, the ending words are as follows: "Competition belongs to each of you! WCG, beyond-the-game, LongGame!"

Applause, warm applause, everyone in Jiang Shaoyun's conference room was excited and warm. This video was produced by their North American branch. Fox TV sent a senior director to visit hundreds of well-known sports athletes, and finally made it.

A 15-minute promotional video, the effect is really shocking.

"Good, the video is so good, it's almost as good as the blockbuster!"

"Then you don't see who helped you do it. The Vita Digital production game part, one of the world's top movie special effects company, is responsible for post-production. The budget for this promotional film is over one million, how can it be bad?

”

"I feel very good about watching it. I don't know if I can win the Oscar documentary award..."

A group of people laughed constantly, everyone was proud of this video. Although electronic game competition is not an internationally recognized sports competition like the Olympic World Cup, the first WCG did not cut corners and strive to achieve excellence as soon as possible.

Be recognized by countries around the world, let the world accept the WCG as soon as possible and join in.

The next five competitive games each have their own theme songs. Each song is sung, and it is also an introduction to a game. At this time, the corresponding top 32 contestants will walk around the stage one by one, and the host will make it simple.

Introducing, the contestants waved.

Lincoln Park's "Faint" singing "Sarroman Snake: Red Alert" and "NewDivide" in "Special Forces", and "NBA Game96"'s "Theme Song Hip-Hop Cymbal" were personally handed by Prattie Emu, because Queens really do it

When I didn't leave time, I sang "We-will-rock-you" live. The Beyonds band from Hong Kong replaced the cover, adding a lot of color to "Live Football 96".

As for the theme song "Pump-It" of "Needy Speed", it was sung by the new generation of American band Black-eyed Peas. Dick Dell, the 60-year-old American surfing music, personally accompanied the scene. Special guest O'Neal appeared and performed a street dance.

Although the song is no more than 6 minutes long, it leaves a deep impression on people. KTT's big moves are so rich.

The song ended, and then the leader spoke. The official of the General Administration of Sports only stood on the stage for one minute and was seized by the host to step down. The first battle of "Need for Speed" was soon started.

"Haha! I thought the competition was going to play our country's "Athlete March"..." Jiang Shaoyun joked with his subordinates around him with a smile.

"This is not the Olympics, and there is no need for the team leader to carry the national flag to walk with the athletes in the country. The WCG is still a long way..."

"Yes, e-sports has not been recognized by the state, and many countries in the world have not recognized this competition. I think it is already very good if a folk activity can be done like this."

The live broadcast at 6 o'clock lasted less than an hour. After the game officially started, Fox TV began to broadcast soap operas.

Jiang Shaoyun's team is busy, and the phone rings are constantly ringing. Three groups of reporters randomly interview families watching WCG in the city, collecting program materials, and some inappropriate remarks need to be checked by Longteng Company.

At around 7 o'clock, Jiang Shaoyun called the country. The person in charge was Zhao Yongping. Yang Yun was waiting for the live match between SK and 4K. Jiang Shaoyun hung up the phone after making a brief report.

At 8:30, the latest battle report news was completed on Fox TV and has been broadcast successfully. The next time the latest battle report should be played in the morning news the next morning, and there were no reporters working at midnight.

At 9 o'clock, Jiang Shaoyun asked his subordinates to summarize the information. Except for the on-duty staff, everyone else came home from get off work. He received a call from Yang Yun.

"Shaoyun, how effective is North American live broadcast?"

"Very good! The promotional video, the band and singer performances are all very exciting! It's so surprising that you can also invite the U2 band. It's such a big deal!"

"It's nothing. In fact, U2 has no airs at all and the asking price is not high. Other bands are either newcomers or contracted artists under our own, so they don't spend much money at all. Did your directors not show the scene of Chinese leaders' speeches?

?”

"It's only a little bit, it seems that I've stepped down without saying it for a long time?"

"Of course, WCG is a pure game game, and there is no need to play hypocritically."

This made Yang Yun feel quite satisfied. Although the cost of satellite broadcasting is very high and there is a short delay, the effect is much better than that of the scene. Many things cannot be displayed on the scene, and TV can make up for these shortcomings.

Sometimes, watching TV is much more fun than watching the scene.
