Super Game Empire

The effect of the TV broadcast is better than that of the scene, which makes Jiang Shaoyun and Yang Yun feel helpless.

A classmate of Yang Yun personally participated in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. When he came back from the Bird's Nest, he watched TV versions from various countries. He complained in the class group, thinking that he really felt that the gap was too big.

The student said that he could only feel the atmosphere when watching the scene, but he could not see the specific and exciting parts. Although everyone used the same signal source as the Olympic Organizing Committee, the TV version made by the Chinese themselves was not as good as that of foreigners.

The American NBC version is the clearest picture, with lens processing technology, the highest overall planning ability, the cleanest picture, and the smoothest connection.

The Japanese NHK version is the best explanation, which contains the most complete opera ritual and musical parts. The host is a Chinese editor. The commentary does not include political stance and is very neutral.

As for the version of CCTV, it was soon discovered that the director team randomly switched the public signal source of the Olympic Committee with its own docks. Compared with the versions of other countries, it was terrible. There was a sigh in the class group, not saying it

OK...

So Yang Yun made a request and said: "Although Xiangnan TV uses eight cameras, I think the playback effect is definitely not very good. We are really unprofessional! Please help me copy a version of Fox TV. It's best to go back.

We can get a complete mastering. At least we should think about it more in our minds at least."

Jiang Shaoyun laughed: "Look at how pessimistic you said..."

Yang Yun had no choice but to say: "I don't admire foreigners, but that's the case. If you don't talk about this, can the ratings be counted now? How is the situation in CPL?"

"The ratings will not be seen the next day, and today cannot be obtained on site. Fox TV made a sacrifice and promoted WCG in prime time is rare. There should be no live broadcast in the future, at most it is in the free time during the day.

Time to do recording and broadcast. As for CPL, we arranged for the insider of EA Company to not send back messages. All EA employees will not work overtime tonight. We may find out more news a little later."

"OK, report the news in time. I won't leave today."

After hanging up the phone, Yang Yun came to the smoking area not far away to think about it. He was very curious about EA and Sony's reactions. He didn't know how they would deal with it, but he was still a little nervous.

Longteng has produced all the elites this time. The high-cost promotional video production costs were used to attract Fox TV in North America at a high price. Canal+ TV stations in Europe and the advertisements of many world-class professional game magazines and journals are almost driven by WCG alone.

The promotion and development of the game have almost finished all the trump cards, but the result is that the time difference is that it is a trick, and it is held on the same day. WCG will take half a day earlier.

How will CPL deal with these 12 hours? All employees of EA company do not work overtime. Will they be sure to win?

Yang Yun suddenly thought of a question. He believed that CPL would be closed until the second year. This was based on the premise that the members of the EA alliance were very rational. Rational people generally would not do anything nonsense, EA or Sony.

Or the board of directors of other companies feels that the gains are far less than investment. They are rational and will definitely refuse to continue investing in the next year, and the CPL is over.

But if EA and their alliance find other sources of income, such as acquiring a better studio, or developing a popular game, then the annual CPL promotion fee of tens of millions of dollars may not be big.

There is a problem.

In this case, the members of the EA alliance will abandon rationality, and CPL will burn money every year as if they are angry. Yang Yun thinks it doesn't matter if the CPL holds on for three to five years and does not collapse, which will make WCG extremely embarrassed. This is forcing WCG to force WCG to

Increase investment efforts, but once the price is raised, it is impossible to reduce the price in the future.

"This situation is very likely... The EA Alliance has a maximum of 10 million US dollars in five years. After splitting it equally, which one can't get 2 million US dollars a year? And our Longteng will pay more than 10 million in a year. The most important thing is that it needs

Will not add trouble to me by forming a huge organization to manage e-sports around the world?”

Yang Yun narrowed his eyes and thought a lot. He was afraid of being ruthless and being afraid of being desperate. In the past, he played the roles of being ruthless and being desperate, so his competitors did not dare to take action and were defeated one by one.

Now he has become a target. If the EA League fights him ruthlessly and desperately, he will probably retreat, unless he is even more desperate. Everyone will fight to the death and blood will flow into a river.

He doesn't want to do this!

A cigarette went out, Yang Yun took out the phone and started to contact him. He had to do something in advance.

...

At this time, Ken Kutaraki of Sony, Kyono of Namco, John of IDSoftware, Terry of Westwood Studio, and Munos, the five people gathered again at EA's new president Kevin, the new president of EA.

In the office, when it was late at night, the lights were still on in the office of the EA CEO, and the smoke was shrouded in silence.

"Tell me, you have also watched Fox's WCG opening ceremony, and the game editing just now. What do you think?"

Kevin is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He is much younger than Robert, who died of a heart disease. This is also EA's choice to avoid the lessons of the past. If you want to compete with Longteng Company, you must be healthy and energetic.

CPL Alliance is a joint-stock cooperative system, with independent media person Munos accounting for 10%, Sony holds 39%, EA Company absolutely holding 51%, Namco and ID Software are third-party sponsors, Ximutou is

EA's studio.

The first big thing for the new president Kevin took office was to take over the CPL game. Moreover, because of Robert's aggressiveness, Kevin was unable to do so, so he had to bite the bullet and carry on.

In the process of gradually becoming familiar with and promoting, Kevin made major adjustments to some rules and regulations, mainly to reduce his own pressure, attract many IT industry manufacturers to join, and charge various advertising fees with clear price tags.

For example, in the first Microsoft CPL Professional E-sports League competition, if Microsoft wants to get the naming rights, it must invest $1 million to purchase it.

Of course, Microsoft did not agree to pay the money, and EA did not find Microsoft to offer such a high price. They eventually retained the independence of the main event of CPL and did not find sponsors to name the CPL, but instead used the game console and monitor,

The competition booths, venues, team uniforms, television broadcasting rights, exhibitions and advertising fees, and many fragmented advertising areas were sold out, and they also earned hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue.

Everyone knows that Kevin is much smarter than Robert, so no one wants to speak first, too much will lead to mistakes.

Kevin started to call for the name, first clicking on non-shareholder members, and the first one of Ximu Terry was clicked.

Terry was a little reluctant. He just saw a little game editing of "Sarroman Snake: Red Alert", and it was a first-person perspective deliberately shot by the TV station. Those dazzling operations, five fingers flew on the keyboard, and APM operations at least

At about two hundred, his mentality became unbalanced.

As the head of the CPL's "Command and Conquer" competition project, he has seen all the videos of the top 32 contestants, but he rarely sees them in a first-person perspective like this, and Ximutou Studio does not have the right to form an independent competitive game on its own

Clubs, they cannot have their own small groups like Longteng Company, and are not very sure about the concept of APM200.

From the perspective of operational technology, the WCG players seem to be good at their skills and are not inferior to those of CPL experts.

The similarity between the game interface and operating habits and "Red Alert". Longteng first launched "Red Alert", and they launched Ximutou a little later. The two companies tacitly accused anyone of infringement, so they lived peacefully together.

, compete together.

But the more this happens, the more irritable Terry feels. When asked by Kevin, he can't help but say what he has been holding back for a long time: "The homogeneity of the two games is too serious, and this is very unfavorable to us! If we "Command and

Conquer" is because of the number of players. It is not as powerful as the other party in terms of influence, the player's evaluation is not as good as the other party, and the sales are not as good as the other party. Maybe I can't help but sue the other party!"

Kevin said unhappily: "Terry, the board of directors has long rejected this matter. It is a confusing account. No matter who you and Longteng accused, they will never win the case. This will pull us into endless lawsuits.

You are asking for trouble if you do this!"

Terry was speechless and spread his hands: "Then I have no other opinions."

He actually left nothing and was left out of the matter!

Kevin was so angry that Ximu was a studio owned by EA. He specifically asked Terry to explain that he wanted to take a good start. However, he didn't expect Terry to say such a discouraged word, which made the team

Morale has dropped drastically!

But he knew better that Terry's depression had a source of origin. "Sarroman Snake: Dunes 1993" defeated Ximu's "Dune" with no power to fight back. The sales were only 5,000 copies, and even the cost was charged.

Not coming back.

Everyone held their breath and developed "Command and Conquest", which basically relied on the perseverance of the team, but they encountered "Red Alert".

The two sides have been fighting for several years, and in the key battle between WCG and CPL, both sides are still competing for the same type. This can only be said that Terry is really lucky!

Kevin shook his head secretly, gave up the unlucky guy, and turned his attention to John: "2VS2 and 5VS5, what do you think?"

John is confident and confident: "I can guarantee that the influence of "Thor's Hammer" will definitely be greater than that of "Special Forces". They only have 5VS5, the championship is 100,000, and the talent is 20,000. We are divided into 2VS2 and 1VS1

, the champion can be divided into 200,000 per person at the lowest level. When we finally give the bonus, the media will definitely promote it and become the best choice for e-sports game fans around the world!”

Kevin scolded in his heart: "That's all for your money! No, this money was paid by our EA!"

No wonder John looked confident!

It turns out that I don’t feel pain when I speak while standing.
