Chapter 541 Xx: I just hold grudges

The existence of a canteen.

This proves that e-sports audiences are interested in watching homemade variety shows.

The idea of ​​youth training described by Qin Hao sounded very beneficial to Topsports. Topsports took the initiative to take over the task and planned to find Fujii to promote the selection meeting.

Another day.

Bai Xing woke up from the big bed and felt that he was in a good mood. During this period, the operation of Wukesong Stadium was still good.

There are popular players such as Uzi and Xiang Guo.

Almost all of the 700 tickets were sold out.

Even the VIP package for the first two rows that imitated LGD was sold out.

The ticketing situation is back on track.

RNG used another marketing trick, recording the people who couldn't buy tickets and were reluctant to leave, standing at the entrance of the venue to watch the grand spectacle on the big screen.

Subsequently.

Pictures from the scene leaked.

With the help of this incident, RNG fans' sense of pride soared, because they did something that even LGD didn't do - at the time of LGD, the audience who didn't buy tickets would not stand at the door to watch.

Of course, despite the success at home, White Star wants more than that. After all, ticketing is only one of the means of traffic monetization, not all.

After establishing a foothold at home, Bai Xing immediately asked someone to contact the manufacturer and placed an order for team uniforms. He also planned to continue business cooperation by leveraging the team's high popularity.

Today it is today.

RNG has 12 sponsors, big and small. Although its appeal is not as strong as Topsports, it still exceeds that of IG and EDG. Seeing this, RNG has been recruiting new employees to further improve its home configuration and promote monetization.

"Drip drop~"

The phone screen vibrates.

Bai Xing took a look and found that it was his manager calling.

"Is something wrong?"

"Boss, I received the news." The RNG manager lowered his voice and said on the other end of the phone: "This afternoon, Guo Hao went to the Fujii Building and said that he wanted to sponsor the official youth training camp again."

"Youth training camp?"

Bai Xing didn't understand what Topsports was planning.

After all, having talent and being able to play in LPL are two completely different things. At the beginning, Fujii took advantage of the long summer vacation to organize a youth training camp, which included food, accommodation, and round-trip tickets, but among dozens of passers-by, only Iboy stood out.

To put it harshly.

If you are really short of people, you might as well look for substitutes from other teams.

“…What does it have to do with us?”

"Yes... I heard... I heard that Topsports proposed to record the entire show and edit a few episodes. Oh, that's right."

The RNG manager browsed through the special interview and stammered: "Penicillin will serve as a mentor for the youth training camp, providing online guidance and necessary offline filming."

"in addition…"

The RNG manager scanned the photos taken by Hedgehog Society, and in one of the photos, Guo Hao shook hands with Jin Yi Bo, the co-CEO of Top Esports, on behalf of Top Esports.

It says below that Top Sports will serve as a strategic partner to help launch the new youth training camp.

“They invested $800 million.”

"what?"

What size of youth training camp would require 800 million?
Moreover, they are just partners, not exclusive sponsors. If they just want to train young players and feel that the quality of the second team is too poor, there is no need to go through so much trouble.

"How about you call and ask, boss?"

Bai Xing actually asked.

In the end, he was told that it was still in the planning stage and that they would find an opportunity to communicate with the major clubs later. But the more this happened, the less Bai Xing understood what Topsports was up to.

Youth training?

Shooting?

The two-time champion serves as a coach?
I understand these words, but what the hell is the purpose of combining them together?
No, Topsports is trying to take advantage of Penicillin's popularity! Bai Xing has never watched Canteen, but he knows that it is a variety show made by Fujii that has achieved good results.

and so…

It should still be centered around traffic monetization, which is a difficult problem for the entire e-sports circle.

and so…

Is Topsports trying to find a new way to make money through self-made variety shows? In the year of national variety shows, even Bai Xing has watched national-level variety shows such as Running Man and Extreme Challenge.

He originally wanted to find someone to pass on the message, to see if he could arrange for Uzi to be on Running Man, but the production team ignored him...

question…

Can you earn it back?
Sponsors are not stupid, and their money is not that easy to cheat.

After thinking about it for a while, Bai Xing finally called his manager and said, "I'll find someone to take charge of the Wukesong issue. You just need to keep an eye on the youth training camp in the near future."

"it is good."

~~~
Fujii.

Jin Yibo was reviewing a document, then made a few notes, put it aside, and continued to review the next one.

After work.

He was still thinking about what Guo Hao mentioned.

Just as Guo Hao once believed that running a youth training camp is a thankless task, the reason why official youth training is not recognized is not that the clubs do not want good seedlings, but that talent needs to be fulfilled.

Take SKT for example.

U Emperor is still as fierce as a tiger in rank, and T Emperor is still a youth training star, but one can't play mage top lane, and the other can't play warrior top lane, which directly made fans angry to the point of cerebral thrombosis.

To say that things were particularly bad, the two of them also had a period of glory.

But when it comes to talent, the two are judged by fans as the worst top laners in history.

of course.

Jin Yi Bo doesn't care whether he is a newcomer or not. The only thing that impresses him about Guo Hao is that he can monetize it and add to the traffic of the competition area.

It can really be done.

Three benefits can be foreseen:

First, stimulate the transfer market and allow clubs to increase their budgets.

This is what Fujii has been doing. They adopted the seat system because many clubs are afraid to increase their investment.

Second, self-produced variety shows are indeed a way out and can empower event traffic.

3. Expand profits from non-event activities.

Although the core strategy of the Ma server is to sell skins, it is always right to walk on multiple legs. If the financial statements become better, will sponsors also favor LPL more?

What's more, the division has won the championship for two consecutive years and has made great strides in reform. He is confident that he can tap into the potential and hand in an answer that will satisfy all parties!
"As long as we can keep the Summoner's Cup in LPL, why worry about not being able to keep the business going?!"

"Penicillin is only 18 years old and should be in his prime for another three to four years."

Jin Yi Bo's performance was calculated according to Faker's trajectory. He emerged in S3, but was unable to keep up in S8.

"And Penicillin is the commander, and his ability to control the team is obviously stronger than Faker."

Think of this.

Jin Yi Bo became interested and immediately took out the information reported by EDG.

Unlike RNG, which went to Beijing and rented part of the indoor venue of Wukesong at a high price, EDG's home stadium plan is to renovate and expand the original Hongqiao International Stadium.

The first phase of the project has an investment of over 50 billion yuan, and the total investment is expected to exceed 150 billion yuan. Once completed, it will become the largest single investment project in the global e-sports industry.

of course.

Although it is called the home stadium, it is actually more of a real estate layout, and the venues required for e-sports only account for a small proportion.

Rather than calling it an "e-sports city and new cultural and creative industry", it is better to describe it as a group of tourism and cultural projects that integrates diving, wind tunnels, and performances, which can meet the needs of a variety of tourists.

Talk about it.

It was only thanks to Penguin's efforts and help to Hopson Development that the Zhu family was able to cooperate with the Shanghai government on such a real estate project.

Find out the document that has been approved.

Jin Yi Bo was thinking about the problem of the shooting location. He believed that Hechuang would definitely be willing to provide help, so as to reduce some of the expenses.

Compared with Topsports.

Fujii hopes that the program can be broadcast online on Penguin Video. However, with the investment, the pressure to recover the cost is also great. Fujii accepts not making a profit, but does not want to lose money to gain publicity.

After all, this is not an anniversary celebration, and the purpose is not to sell skins.

It was just when I took office and started my first work that someone gave me a gift.

In an instant, he had a very good impression of Topsports!
So that afternoon, he held a small meeting and talked about this matter.

"What's the budget?"

"The expenditure for a medium-sized indoor reality variety show should be around 30 to 40 million." With the support of Penguin, everyone knows this clearly.

"We don't have any celebrities here, so we can probably get more than 10 million..."

"How can we promote without celebrities? Can we afford such investment just by relying on e-sports audiences? Isn't this just a waste of money?"

"..."

Fujii knows the portrait community too well.

Let the brothers spend some money to buy skins, and some points can be deducted. From time to time, we can also organize activities to lure brothers to spend money to draw Dragon Blind. But the cost is tens of millions.

You can't expect guys to subscribe to Penguin Video VIP just for this kind of show... Don't do that.

"Top Sports has supported us with 800 million, and then we will find Mercedes-Benz, Asus, and Zhanma..." Counting on my fingers, it is indeed not difficult to put together a show.

But this kind of thing will only consume Fujii's reputation.

No one present here intends to make a fortune.

"We have to invite celebrities, so it will be easier to talk to the advertising department." Many popular celebrities have endorsements, and while paying for them, it is also equivalent to attracting the sponsors behind them to follow suit.

One to two to go.

The risk will be further reduced.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We can learn from the model of The Rap of China, invite celebrities to be mentors, responsible for expanding the circle, and then add some scoring and elimination sessions, try to stir up some topics, and bring out a winner."

"At least you can listen to the music on Hip Hop, but what can we do with this?"

"If you want to watch high-quality games, just follow LPL, isn't that the truth?"

"So we still have to keep costs down. If it exceeds 2 million, I don't think it's worth considering recovering the costs."

"Guo Hao made a few suggestions, saying that they could find retired star players like PDD and Xiaoxiao to form a team and then bring in the team with the highest points in the secondary league...

Also, is it possible to ask Huya, Douyu, Panda and other platforms to gather a team of anchors? If they come to compete, will these live broadcast platforms not promote it? "

Hear this.

Everyone was stunned.

They always thought that the newcomers were unimpressive and never expected that the business could still be run like this.

It is true that the grumpy old man is unwilling to spend money, but the anchors in the lol section are not all relying on game traffic. Many of them have attracted a group of regular fans by doing activities and hosting shows.

Take Sao Nan for example.

The fans hang out in his live broadcast room to kill time and be friendly, and they don’t care whether the male show is good or not. Moreover, with the entry of these anchors, there must be internal competition, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of scripts.

"Guo Hao still has this brain? No wonder he was valued by the vice president of Belle just based on the plan."

Jin Yibo smiled and said, "I heard him say that it seemed to be Qin Hao's idea in the beginning."

"Young people still have active minds."

"I guess he watched a lot of variety shows..."

"If the budget is sufficient, give him some extra appearance fees." Someone laughed and said, "After all, he didn't get paid for the canteen shoot, so I'll make it up this time."

"If this is done, it will be a big show for the entire alliance!"

There are still many smart people.

It is impossible to raise such a program just by relying on rookies and two-time champions. However, entertainment stars + e-sports stars + anchors and internet celebrities should be able to attract a lot of attention.

one more.

The meat is rotten in the pot.

Penguin Video has so many studios and has to launch projects every quarter. Fujii can create some content with the live broadcast platform, which also indirectly helps other departments.

~~~
The next day.

Guo Hao accepted an interview with Score and continued to talk about a healthy youth training system and its role in promoting the overall development of the competition area.

Those who know the business will see that it is just self-promotion, while those who don’t know the business will just think it is impressive.

Hupu reposted this interview.

Everyone below is praising Topsports for being responsible and awesome.

I don’t know what’s so great about it, but don’t worry about it.

Because Guo Hao promised to give newcomers a better environment, those who used to criticize the secondary league for being bad now have some hope. They really want to know how Topsports can change the bottom environment.

Just like that.

Guo Hao's righteous words caused quite a stir. Some people mocked him, while others supported him.

“Fight till there is no regret!”

"Top Esports - the best club in LPL!"

"Top Esports may have to improve the treatment of its youth training. Good days are coming for the newcomers."

Whether in the past or now.

The biggest problem for newcomers is that they have no hope. Even if there was promotion and relegation, only one or two teams could make it. Those teams that lost points early or were ready to give up at the beginning of the year could only live in a daze and watch others flourish.

night.

TES quickly defeated VG 2-0.

Listening to Cat talking on the stage, Bai Xing turned off the live broadcast with a gloomy face: "So, Fujii doesn't plan to play with me, right?"

“They were visiting those partners recently…”

"What a fucking vampire, he said nice things when he needed me, but didn't even notify me when he didn't need me anymore!"

Bai Xing was angry. Fujii's leaders refused to help with their family's real estate project and forced them to use their own connections. Otherwise, they would have been able to make money long ago.

This year.

It is easy to approve plots of land related to cultural and creative industries, but no matter how good a plot of land for pure commercial residence sounds, banks will still have doubts.

Bai Xing secretly spat in his heart, but he could only suppress his anger. After all, even if Fujii treated him differently, he couldn't tear his face off.

"What's EDG doing?"

"Did not notice."

"Then go find someone to ask!"

Bai Xing cursed: "If you can't even do this, why the hell should I keep you!"

~~~
After 2 days.

SKT lost to AFs 1:2, and SNG lost to RW 1:2.

After the game, Karsa said in an interview that he was having a good time in RW and that his teammates were very nice to him.

Then, Yu Shuang talked about the difference in jungle tonight. Karsa showed his dimples and smiled warmly: "Maybe if I choose a tool jungler, the game will go smoothly."

"Plus, our midlaner is quite strong. He has been actively protecting me and controlling the map in the past three games."

"I'm quite familiar with the SN players. We even messaged each other before the game..."

"Do you want to say something to Maple? Maybe you want to say that LPL is different from LMS. I hope he can find his form and adapt as soon as possible, yeah."

Maple's debut was not ideal.

In terms of laning phase alone, he can play with Doinb, but he can't keep up with RW's four-on-two.

I saw some sarcastic comments in the Hupu comment section: Taiwanese tigers are lame, Xx laughed so hard that he hiccuped.

He put away his phone, looked up to find Qin Hao, and found that Jin Gong was pestering Qin Hao to solo again.

Or.

Because we have to play against RW next time.

Gongzige is worried that he will face 369. After all, they made a rotation when playing against SN, which shows that the RW coaching staff recognizes 369.

Just in case.

He didn't want to fall behind his substitute. Although he had no problem with 369, who wanted to be surpassed by a substitute? There was a reason why Huang Za hated Penicillin so much.

In their eyes.

Penicillin has always been just a substitute for Xiaohu.

Although it is very Ah Q, hatred is hatred and it will not change because of self-deception.

"How many rounds have you played?"

Xx leaned over and nudged Photic with his shoulder.

"Three, please."

Photic saw that it was Xx and forced a smile: "Practicing how to trade blood with Jayce."

"Humph."

Xx had also seen the schedule, and he said disdainfully: "That idiot Jace is a piece of shit, and he likes to go out first."

Xx dislikes 369 very much.

It's not just that he thinks he's bad or a drag, the more important reason is that he's stubborn. Every time someone says something to him, he'll argue and insist that others admit that he's not the same...

"I'll go talk to the leader."

Xx thought of something and suddenly ran outside.

"What?" Photic was curious.

"Go offline with the team."

Xx didn’t say anything more: He hoped that after he went there, this idiot 369 would be able to…

of course.

Peanut's position as the starter is extremely secure. Generally speaking, Xx is not too willing to run around. After all, just sitting in the background is actually quite boring.

It was just that considering that 369 was next door, he didn't want to miss the opportunity to disgust 369. He still remembered the quarrel that led to him being scolded by the team leader - yes, he was so vindictive.
