You said you were bragging, but why are you serious?

Chapter 205 Underestimated Popularity

Once interests are involved, many people will have no bottom line, and some operations will become bizarre.

The reason why concert scalpers are repeatedly banned is that, in addition to the "outsourcing risk", the extra money scalpers make by raising ticket prices will not be included in the profit pool of normal concerts.

How this money is divided has nothing to do with the stars who hold concerts.

Competitive games are never missing from the sidelines.

From ancient times to the present, as long as it is a major event, there will never be a shortage of suspensions due to various reasons.

Among these off-field factors, the ones that most affect the fairness of the game are gambling and match-fixing.

This is also the reason why Su Wei wants to say ugly things first.

After a period of fermentation, Guwu has become the next trend in China.

And as long as there is enough attention, related competitions will naturally arise.

It is obviously impossible for Jiexun to eat this cake alone.

Ancient Wushu is not Su Wei's monopoly. If I have to talk about copyright, I can only say that you are not allowed to use the Master Su series of martial arts related to the shelves in the practice study room for profit in competitions.

But that's too stupid...

However, although there is no way to nip competitors in the cradle, if Su Wei can serve as a platform for Jie Jing to organize a martial arts competition, then in this competition, as long as Jie Jing does not seek death, Jie Jing will definitely become the leader in the industry.

Su Wei rarely has programs that are out of his control.

For this reason, Jie Jing didn't expect Su Wei to relent, but he just contacted Su Wei with the mentality of giving it a try.

They didn't expect that Su Wei agreed without even mentioning additional requests.

Apart from anything else, considering Su Wei's current influence, it is impossible to even think about spreading his banner without hundreds of millions of endorsement fees every year.

The key is that Su Wei never takes money seriously.

People who are not short of money, even big stars, as long as they want to make money, it will not be too difficult to find them for endorsement.

But facing someone like Su Wei, who can spend billions a year to do true charity, it is true that no one can think of this idea.

Compared with Su Wei's reputation, Jie Jing's promise to spend at least more than 10 million as prize money for each competition is just a drop in the bucket.

What's more, the competition also brings advertising revenue from sponsors, as well as traffic and influence brought by being placed on Jiexun video website.

Everyone knows that Master Su is very generous.

As long as you have a correct attitude, even if the lion opens his mouth and asks him for cake, he may not refuse to give it.

This time Jiexun gained face and lizi, and his favorable impression of Su Wei, the God of Wealth, greatly increased.

For Su Wei, in addition to further socializing the ancient martial arts circle, this has another meaning.

As an Internet giant, Jiexun's video website has more than 300 million registered members. Although it is impossible for all of them to be active users, its size is already worthy of Su Wei's respect.

As the saying goes, if you get the right way, you will get many help, but if you don't get the right way, you will get little help.

As a rooster that can lay golden eggs, Su Wei has as much "Tao" as he wants.

……

"Xiaoying, has the schedule been released?"

"Now, look at it."

On the paper document Du Xiaoying handed over, in addition to the competition system and schedule, there were also general rules for various competitions, and it was printed on three full pages.

Considering this will be a live broadcast, the schedule is tight.

The preliminary round of 32 to 16 will be arranged on Friday, while 16 to 8 and 8 to 4 will be placed on Saturday.

The competition for the top three adopts a round-robin points competition system and requires at least six games.

There will also be a planned challenge and Su Wei's guidance session on Sunday afternoon.

In fact, generally speaking, original martial arts competitions should be based on creativity. Ranking them entirely based on combat effectiveness would appear very unprofessional.

However, considering that everyone has practiced martial arts for more than a year, and those who can create original works, the actual level will not be too different, Su Wei will not use those judgment criteria that are too subjective, and all will be based on combat effectiveness.

"Did you make this?"

Su Wei flicked the document in his hand. Before that, he had never thought that Du Xiaoying was actually talented in this area. He was shocked by her for a moment.

Unexpectedly, Du Xiaoying laughed playfully and said, "How can I? Brother Feng Jian made this for me."

Jie Jing is going to hold a professional ancient martial arts competition. This original competitive competition can be used as a warm-up, so naturally he will not give up.

Su Wei had already rented the venue, Li Changqing's team had already arranged it, and Jie Jing hadn't left it. Feng Jian had already rented a small hotel near the stadium and stayed there.

This guy looks to be about the same age as Su Wei, and he hasn't graduated from college for a long time, but in addition to daring to joke with Su Wei, he is also very efficient in doing things.

Once a person has a status, someone will take the initiative to arrange for him whatever he wants to do.

This trend has long existed around Su Wei, but he was relatively sober and did not let the feeling of being held up go to his head.

Du Xiaoying is relatively honest. Although she is a little flattered by being praised by others, she still cannot afford to take other people's achievements as her own.

Su Wei roughly looked through the competition schedule, but did not offend her: "It's not bad. After all, it's done by professionals. It's really different."

"It's not over yet, brother Su Wei, look at this."

With that said, Du Xiaoying opened the Jiexun video. The first thing that caught his eye was the promotion link for the original competition. Clicking on it showed the competition preview and the popularity voting prize contest.

Most of the thirty-two contestants on the screen already have real photos, and there are simple personal introductions below.

Originally there were not thirty-two people, so Su Wei asked Lu Jirui how many people he could borrow.

There is a high degree of overlap between the Chuanwu circle and the ancient martial arts circle, but with Lu Jirui and other masters as benchmarks, and Wang Weijian as the backer for internal strength training, they are almost in a semi-integrated state.

Their self-created martial arts has a self-study room as a release platform. If Su Wei doesn't ask for people to participate in the folk competitions organized by Su Wei, it will be difficult to attract these people to participate.

Among the thirty-two contestants, Du Xiaoying topped the list with a popularity value of more than 3,000 votes.

"Is Xiaoying's influence already so high? It's amazing. It seems that there is no suspense in the game."

In the Internet industry, the larger the company, the more preparatory work it takes to launch new features.

Because once something goes wrong, it will be trending.

Launching such a large section within a few days is not an easy task.

Du Xiaoying opened this page to let Su Wei see other players' information. This information was collected by Feng Jian. Before this, she had no idea what kind of monsters she would face.

However, after listening to Su Wei's teasing, she couldn't help laughing:

"Haha, brother Su Wei, don't be joking. It's not about who has more fans in the competition. If you look at the players' information, they all look very good. Now I'm afraid it's a question whether they can get into the top three."

"Oh? Let me see."

This small competition has indeed attracted a lot of great people.

Represented by Lu Jirui's disciples, there are several new generation masters with names in the martial arts circle.

Represented by Wu Yong and Wu Dongsheng, former champions in the Sanda fighting circle changed careers and entered the ancient martial arts circle.

There are also role models sent out by some martial arts schools to gain fame.

In short, if you put yourself in Du Xiaoying's position, even Su Wei would start to panic.

"No, this group of people...has the lineup been released? Otherwise, we can do some shady operations and find you someone who is better. Otherwise, you will have a 'scumbag anchor who didn't win the preliminary round' hanging on your head. The name doesn’t matter to you, the important thing is that my face is shameless.”

"???"

Du Xiaoying was immediately confused.

I asked you to look at the battle list to put pressure on me, right?

[If you don’t understand, just ask, can this be said in the live broadcast room? ]     【Laughing to death, plotting loudly, right? This is for fear that others will not know. 】

[It’s not impossible, Xiaoying is so cute. If he is eliminated in the first round, what will be interesting in the subsequent games. 】

To be honest, Su Wei really didn't expect that this game would turn out like this.

He completely underestimated his influence in the ancient martial arts circle.

Even if Lian Jie wanted to hold a competition, he would ask him for his opinion. How could a competition he personally prepared not be taken seriously?

It's just that everyone seems to be a little too enthusiastic, which makes Su Wei a little stressed now.

Strictly speaking, Du Xiaoying can be regarded as Su Wei's official disciple. After all, all the exercises she knows were taught by Su Wei.

If this was really the first round and he was kicked out, if his opponent ended up in the top three, he would still have something to say.

If his opponent didn't even make it into the top three, Su Wei would be really upset.

Du Xiaoying has to live broadcast during the day, and her daily training time is only two hours. Although she started earlier, there is definitely a big gap in internal strength compared with those training madmen.

And looking at these contestants, all of them have rich practical experience. It is really not easy to get involved with flowers in the greenhouse like Du Xiaoying.

At first, Su Wei was thinking about how to eliminate the negative impact of Du Xiaoying winning the championship.

Sober now.

Still want to win the championship? Thank God if you don’t kneel down again!

"Huh? Isn't this bad? The lineup is drawn before the game is ready."

"Well, that shouldn't be too late. I'll ask later where the lottery machine was purchased."

"Then you can buy two more units, and you can still exchange them until the 23rd."

Du Xiaoying knew that Su Wei was working hard, so he cooperated very well.

In fact, Su Wei actually thought about this idea, but finally gave up.

After seeing the player information collected by Feng Jian, Su Wei decided to take action.

With Du Xiaoying's first-time training level, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous if she was assigned a weaker opponent and she still hadn't won?

Su Wei was able to accept some slight adjustments to the match schedule. After all, there was a challenge involved and it would hardly affect the final result.

But if even winning requires the opponent to give up, then it goes against the original intention of competitive games.

……

It is indeed a pleasure to have professionals do it for you.

After obtaining Du Xiaoying's authorization, Feng Jian not only set up an event website, but also arranged accommodation near the stadium for the contestants.

The day before the game started, Su Wei took Du Xiaoying with him to meet the players. Unexpectedly, he was greeted by not only a few players, but also a large number of fans.

"What's going on...?"

"Hello Su Shen, my name is Feng Jian."

Just as Su Wei guessed, Feng Jian was a young man in his twenties with a well-proportioned figure.

It's cold and he wears a lot of clothes, so it's hard to tell whether he's strong or not, but with his straight hair and smiling face, he looks a little capable.

"Our website has organized an event to invite fans to watch the live broadcast. Most of these fans are registered fans, and some come spontaneously. According to statistics, as of now, there are more than 20,000 viewers ready to watch the live game. You If you go around, you can see a great scene, and the hotels near the stadium are all full."

"How much? Don't these people have to go to work?"

Su Wei was confused online.

The capacity of the stadium is only over 8,000 people, and the capacity of the fortress is 20,000 people. Even if we add chairs, it will be a bit too big.

Moreover, martial arts competitions are not about singing. Actual battles pay great attention to details. It is difficult for laymen to understand and explain, and it is not as exciting as the ones captured in movies.

What’s the point of these people coming to see it?

"You don't have to forfeit your annual leave, just go to work."

"Wow, after watching the live broadcast for so long, I finally see the real person Su Shen. He is exactly the same as in the live broadcast room."

"It's unbelievable that Su Shen is actually a human being."

"It's incredible."

The people present were all young people, those who could come all the way to watch the game, and they basically had some social attributes. You said this to me, which made Su Wei very angry.

"Hey, hey, hey, this is not a live broadcast room. How dare you dance like this without a network cable? Are you really not afraid of being beaten by me?"

Facing Su Wei's threat, this group of people didn't show any fear at all.

"Quick, quick, quick, you guys give in, I want to compete with Master Su Shen. Then I will have bragging rights. I am the one who can survive under Su Shen's hands."

"Line up and come one by one. You can't get the advantage all by yourself."

The crowd was huge, and there seemed to be a real tendency to come up and have a fight with Su Wei.

The momentum was just like the old man and woman squatting in front of the supermarket to grab free eggs, and it felt like they were about to pounce on Su Wei and beat him up.

When Su Wei saw it, he quickly stopped.

These were all fans, and they didn't really want to attack him, so it was natural for him not to be cruel.

If they really wanted to swarm them, he might be forced to fly into the sky and run away in embarrassment.

"You're just kidding. Stay calm. If you cause a stampede, where can I put my face?"

Fortunately, Su Wei was not an idol, nor was he a big fan, so he stopped everyone's turmoil with just one sentence.

Later, Su Wei, along with Li Changqing and Xu Jie, accompanied by Feng Jian, met with all the contestants and checked the schedule before returning to the Galloping Horse Garden.

After returning from the gym, Su Wei had some doubts about life.

"Did I underestimate my popularity?"

Du Xiaoying's live broadcast room is an illusion.

Those who have time to watch the live broadcast every day will always have the same group of people coming and going.

But in fact, Su Wei's real fan base no longer has such limitations.

Today's Internet spreads very quickly.

If information is not restricted, it is easy to make it known.

Su Wei-related news can be seen everywhere in ancient martial arts, medicine, scientific research, and charity.

It seems that fans really don’t have the same tools as those in the live broadcast room now.

"Tsk, Xiaoying, do you think I have ten million fans?"

"Ah? It's probably more than that. Millions of people watch the live broadcast every day. Why do you suddenly ask this?"

"Well...I'm thinking of something meaningful."

Su Wei didn't say anything, and Du Xiaoying didn't bother to ask.

After all, Dousha's size was still a little small, so small that Su Wei didn't realize that he was now a big shot.

Would it be easier if the battlefield were moved to the Jiexun platform?

Su Wei called Feng Jian.

"Mr. Feng, let me ask you a question, can I authenticate a social account on your platform?"

Feng Jianfeng was confused: How the hell can this be considered a problem?

　New year, new atmosphere, I wish you all never work overtime in the new year.
