[The National Football League has announced the registration details for the first video game national competition! 】

In the early morning of February [-]nd, overwhelming news swept across America. The headlines of major newspapers were all about Ethan Jones.

Some newspapers said that the cross-border cooperation between the National Football League and Destiny Games was a surprise. When America's No. [-] ball meets the hottest industry video game, no one knows what kind of fireworks will happen, but Everyone believes that under the protection of the National Football League and their rich experience in organizing games, they will successfully host the first national video game competition;

Some plagiarized the speech after Ethan Jones's short video last night. The chairman of the National Football League introduced the competition process of the first video game national competition to the public, and said that for players who want to participate, , the only pain point is that you need to issue a social security card or driver's license when signing up, but at the same time they also explained the purpose of this behavior——

'When Ethan Jones said that all tournament prizes are after-tax prizes, they must obtain the personal information of the players because Destiny Games needs to file taxes for the players who receive the prizes. This is a reasonable thing, and at the same time It is also a great thing to know that before Ethan Jones announced that he would bear the tax, other events in our country gave pre-tax prize money. '

Some newspapers analyzed the development history of the video game industry and lamented the growth rate of the video game market, because before this, there had never been a market that could expand to more than one billion in seven years;

What's more, it summarizes everything and details Ethan Jones's road to fame.

Then, they came to a conclusion——

"Ethan Jones is definitely a boy kissed by God!"

"Because every time he encounters a setback, another great good luck will appear immediately. This good luck can not only make up for the damage he encountered when he suffered setbacks, but also help him go further. This kind of thing It is beyond human power, only God can write such an unreasonable coincidence!”

“More importantly, Ethan Jones is different from those lucky people who like to hide themselves. He wants to share his happiness and luck with people who support him and like him, and works hard to put his ideas into action! Although I don’t know if he is a devout believer, I believe that he is definitely the most loyal supporter of the Bible! Because his behavior strongly reflects the Book of Romans!”

"The Book of Romans says:"

"How can you cry if you have not believed? How can you believe if you have not heard? How can you hear if you have not preached?"

“When people think that the gospel has not come to the world for many years, God may have imagined it and spread this idea more and more, we may have overlooked a problem, that is, the gospel may have come, but the greed of the world has caused it to nothingness."

"Everyone feels that their success is natural! Everyone feels that their success is what everyone expects! Only Ethan Jones stood up and said that he has always had good luck!"

"I don't know what Ethan is thinking, and I can't describe his behavior in my own words, because I feel that no words in the world are worthy of his decision, but I know that he must be kind in his heart!"

"And all this can also be seen from the games he produced. Although Ethan Jones said that he did not know why "Snake" was successful. When making this game, he just wanted to bring people It’s pure joy, but I believe this is God using his hand to metaphorize the dangers of gluttony!”

"The same is true for "Pac-Man". The little ghost who is constantly chasing Mr. Pac-Man must be a violent person who continues to commit violence in society and on campus, and Mr. Pac-Man is a symbol of resistance. He uses his courage and Wisdom fights fear and oppression!”

"Even though the game "Star Wars" is inspired by George Lucas's movies, the core remains unchanged. Ethan is using defensive gameplay to interpret the sanctity of national territory!"

"Although I don't know what kind of games Ethan Jones will release in the future, we all know how rare these games suitable for all ages are!"

“Although I don’t know how long Ethan Jones will continue to operate in the video game industry, we all hope that Ethan Jones can continue to do so in this industry, because we like the happiness he creates and even more like that. Pure, unpretentious character and behavior!”

"Of course, if one day in the future, Ethan Jones presses his right hand on the Bible and solemnly swears an oath, we will not be surprised, because we believe that a person who can benefit customers and thank fans when running a company will definitely Will be a good leader.”

"..."

When Ethan saw those thousands of eloquent words...

After not sleeping all night, he only felt a halo coming out of his head!
Because those extremely beautiful words can only appear at the memorial service!

Who are the most loyal advocates of the Bible? Practitioner of Romans?
Special code!
He hasn't even read the Bible!
What is Romans?
He doesn't know!
But that's not important, right?
Because he knows that this kind of title can only be used when the coffin is finalized, right?

So is this to curse him to death or to praise him?
(scratching head~
What also confused him was the newspaper's understanding of "Snake", "Pac-Man" and "Star Wars", and the behavior of Barabala...

Why does it feel like doing reading comprehension in the college entrance examination?
Is there a strange light shining in the fish's eyes?
Oh--

It started to hurt.

When Ethan glanced upward, he was relieved to see the logo of the Christian Science Monitor.

As an American Christian Science publication, its coverage is exaggerated?
Isn’t that just spreading the gospel of God to people!

But, to be honest, although Ethan felt that their words were a bit disgusting, their wording was a bit inappropriate, and their tone was a bit strong, but if you can, please increase your intensity.

He likes to see this kind of thing!

Hehe ~
"Boss, all the newspapers in the market reported on your short film yesterday."

Seeing that Ethan was reading carefully and was satisfied, Ballmer, who was standing in front of his desk, immediately smiled and said: "Your writing skills and presentation methods are really amazing!"

"Last night, when I sat in front of the TV and watched your short film, there was only one thought in my mind, and that was to participate! Participate! Participate again!"

"I'm really looking forward to the registration for the competition! I'm really looking forward to the day of the competition! At a certain moment, I even felt that it was an honor to play the game you made!"

"Oh - I even feel that it is a pride to enter the Destiny Game!"

"..."

Ethan raised his head.

The large face filled with joy made him laugh.

Curling the newspaper into a ball, clapping his palms, Ethan called out Ballmer's name.

"Steve."

"Eh!"

"The show is over!"

"No! Boss! I mean it from the bottom of my heart!"

"Really?" Ethan didn't believe it.

"Of course!" Ballmer puffed up his chest.

This situation made Ethan smile from ear to ear.

He knocked on the table with the newspaper and said, "Then you don't have to do this."

"What?"

"Because that's what inspired me."

Ethan wasn't lying.

The main reason why he handed over all the work related to the game to Ballmer and let him take care of it was because he felt that the announcement of the game, the arrangement of the schedule, and everything related to the game were all process-based things. As long as you learn the operation process, then the mechanical operation will be fine.

Since there is no room for imagination and creativity, anyone can do this kind of thing.

However, when Ballmer said that he was not suitable to be the protagonist of the event announcement because the term "Game of Destiny" has been deeply bound to Ethan Jones...

Ethan then knew how to shoot a promotional video.

As with all competitions, shoot a simple format announcement?

Although this is the focus of the entire work, what the people want to know most, and what Destiny Game must explain clearly, ordinary preaching is simply meaningless.

Therefore, Ethan modified the process and used storytelling to lead to the competition.

In music, this might be called the prelude;

In movies, this might be called foreplay;

But in the product launches of various companies, or in other words, in Apple, in Xiao Qiao's body... this is called preaching.

Yes, when Steve Ballmer said that all gamers on the market are his believers, Ethan remembered the Apple press conference that he had watched many times in his previous life when he was taking elective marketing courses.

Jobs, who has become the leader of Joe Gang, is not selling products to the people, but selling an experience. Ethan still remembers that he defined iPod as "a thousand songs in your pocket" and he was showing off "Mac Book Air' is paper-thin and supports it in a large envelope.

He will put the most important things last!And we will definitely come up with a new product or new features of an old product!In this way, the audience will feel like they have won the jackpot.

Although classmate Xiao Qiao of this era has not yet evolved into Gang Leader Qiao, there is no problem in using it, right?They are all our own people anyway!With his modifications, the short film released during the event became a product.

It's just that he is the one promoting it.

The whole story unfolded naturally, including the miserable childhood when both parents died, the ups and downs of being adopted by an aunt, the ups and downs of entering society, and the destiny of starting from scratch.

The contribution of fans that is emphasized throughout the story is also to make people who watch the short film feel more involved.In this case, the final feedback, an event held for fans...

It has naturally become a good conversation between fans and companies!

Ethan admitted that this kind of marketing is indeed a bit strong, but...

It works really well.

Last night, when the short film was playing, he dressed up and wandered around the streets, went to restaurants to listen, stopped at the door of the arcade place, and squatted at the intersection in the downtown area to inspect.

The excitement and joy that echoed in his ears were the answers he wanted most.

Of course, he can't teach Ballmer these things, and he doesn't plan to teach Ballmer, because Ballmer's way of doing things is two extremes from that of Jobs. The former is to infect the audience with enthusiasm, while the latter is... It captures people's hearts in a carefully planned way.

These two methods are not good or bad, only suitable or not.

But now, what is most suitable for Ethan is Jobs’ missionary theory, so he uses it.

Ballmer stared at his boss for a while. After discovering that his boss had no intention of solving his doubts and instead asked him to figure it out on his own, he left with regret. However, at noon, he appeared in front of Ethan again with his hand on his hand. Inside, he was holding a pile of documents spit out from the knitting printer.

Such a situation made Ethan, who had been having lunch after receiving congratulatory calls all morning, frown slightly, but when he picked up the document and flipped through it, his frown instantly eased and was replaced by joy.

Because all Ballmer brought him were cooperation documents——

There is sponsorship intention from Revlon;

There is title competition from Coca-Cola and Pepsi;
There were advertising inquiries from General Motors;
There is a co-sponsoring application from Wells Fargo;

There are also broadcast inquiries from NBC, ABC and CBS;
As well as a co-signature request from Nike Sports who rushed to deliver money to their doorsteps.

Ah, and there's a fax from Minoru Arakawa, who wants to talk to Ethan.

To be honest, these things were actually expected by Ethan.

Before, these brands were silent, mainly because they couldn't figure out what kind of mentality Ethan would use to hold the next competition.

If you are just having fun, there is no need to sponsor at all.

But when Ethan came forward in person, introduced the competition in his own way, and defined it as "transmitting good luck, helping to realize dreams, and create a future together," anyone with a bit of business sense can understand what this actually contains. How much commercial value.

Especially when Ethan joined the National Football League, his determination to make it big made them want to get on board even more.

But these—

Ethan handed the document to Ballmer and said: "You tell them that our competition funds have almost been raised. Apple, McDonald's, Wal-Mart and HP have occupied most of the positions. If they are willing to take the rest, , then buy it, if you don’t accept it, forget it.”

"Of course, the way Nike, Coca-Cola and PepsiCo participate can be changed."

"We don't charge them money, but they have to provide clothes and coke for the contestants."

"Because we don't know how many people have signed up, so this may be a huge cost. If they can accept it, then we will sign the contract. If they can't accept it, then goodbye."

"As for Minoru Arakawa..."

"Let him wait."

Ethan's words made Ballmer nod repeatedly.

As he left, Ethan, who was leaning on the seat, also laughed.

Did you ignore him yesterday?

Today I will make it impossible for you to reach high!

You didn’t sponsor before, but now you want to participate?
late!

And just as Ethan continued to enjoy the delicacies customized for him by the Stanford Research Park with his proud little tail raised, there was a loud bang that made him almost throw out the knife and fork in his hand.

Frowning his eyebrows and looking up, he was relieved to see Evelin's figure.

"Oh - Evelyn - what are you doing?"

"Scare me!"

He complained loudly.

But a smile appeared on his face, "Why, you're here to praise me too!"

"Ouch! Don't do this! I'll be embarrassed!"

Before he could wag his tail and listen to his sister's praise, the next second, Evelin jumped in front of him.

He put his hands on the table and looked straight over.

"Let me ask you, have you done what Wenton asked you before?"

"What?" Ethan didn't understand.

"Just last time, when we went to play at Wenton's place, did you do what he asked you to do?"

Evelin suppressed her anger, knocked on the table, and said, "That's the company in Santa Clara!"

"The company that makes software for the CIA!"

"Have you checked?"

When Evelin said this, Ethan immediately remembered, "I checked." He asked, "What's wrong? What happened? Is it related to that company?"

"Have you checked?" Evelin did not answer Ethan's question, but took out a piece of fax paper from her pocket and photographed it in front of Ethan, "Is this the result of the check?"

"?" Ethan didn't understand.

Frowning, he picked up the paper.

Then, his pupils suddenly shrank!

"What?"

He raised his head suddenly and said, "Have these people created the database that the CIA wants?"

"And it's much cheaper than what Vinton and the others make?"

"how can that be!"

"When I asked Julis to check it out, Julis told me that it was a small company! There were only a few people! It was probably a scam for subsidies!"
