Tokyo Video Game Tycoon: Chapter 381 Publicity effect

Chapter 381 Propaganda Effect

 The finals were arranged in the evening, so as to give the two finalists some rest time.

At the same time, various advertisements can also be played several times during this time.

At this time, no matter how unhappy the audience in front of the TV is, they can only watch these advertisements. After all, they don’t want to miss this e-sports competition that looks really interesting.

Although the commercial breaks during e-sports games are not as good as the American Super Bowl-level commercial breaks.

 But now the revenue-to-income ratio of e-sports advertising in this first session is the highest.

The companies that initially invested in the company only paid a small amount of advertising fees and received a huge amount of attention. They were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths.

But, I’m afraid the advertising fee for next year’s competition will not be this amount.

This first session has already reflected the value of e-sports, and the next session will only be more mature based on the first session.

 In the future, Zhuyouxing still has many plans.

 In previous lives, e-sports has always been on the fringes after more than ten years of development and has not developed a truly world-class influence.

Zhu Youxing hopes to shorten this time. Topics with enough gimmicks are the best way to promote it.

 Now this finals is a good opportunity.

Zhu Youxing directly woke up Bob, who founded FACEBOOK on the other side of the ocean, from his sleep.

Faced with the fact that one of the major shareholders who initially invested was willing to grant long-term voting rights to Bob, retaining only the permanent original shares, and from time to time he could also come up with some ideas and creativity that were far ahead of this era. He was forcibly called out of bed. Woke Bob really has no temper.

 He felt that there was probably only one person in the world like Zhu Youxing who could do this to him.

The request of Zhuyouxing is very simple, let Facebook push as much StarCraft content as possible during this period of time.

Now FACEBOOK users have become accustomed to hanging out in the social square, which has the same magic as short videos that can be viewed for a day.

And Bob only needs to slightly tilt the weight of StarCraft in such a social square, and StarCraft itself can bring a very terrifying number of clicks.

Of course this kind of thing cannot be used often. It is like a super move in the game. It is best to use it only when it is most critical. If you use this super move every day, it will look very cheap.

Zhu Youxing has only asked Bob to do such a thing once in such a long time.

Even when Final Fantasy 7 was released, he didn't ask for it.

 Because he hopes to spread StarCraft around the world at a faster rate.

In the early morning of that day, there were more and more discussions about StarCraft on social networks.

 Originally, the games in South Korea are played late at night in the United States, and the only people watching are gamers.

When morning comes, it also happens to be the final decisive battle between South Korea and the United States.

 At seven o'clock in the morning on the weekend, in an ordinary American family, the child originally wanted to sleep in.

 But then my mother’s voice sounded.

 “Hamlin, get up quickly, your friend has called you.”

Hamlin got up from the bed with some complaints and went to answer the phone.

Why do some friends call me so early in the morning? Don't they take a break?

However, the call only lasted about three minutes, and Hamlin rushed to the living room like a 100-meter sprint, which shocked the parents who got up early.

Hamlin, on the other hand, turned on the TV with bright eyes and continued talking to his friends on the cordless phone in his hand.

 “Is it Channel 6? OK!”

 He quickly took the remote control and played the TV program to Channel 6.

At this moment, the pre-match interviews of the two players and the highlights of the previous two players' matches are being played on the TV in a loop.

Soon after, a commentator enthusiastically exaggerated the game, calling it a duel of national honor.

Hamlin’s father glanced at the program on TV in confusion, and then asked, “What is this?”

“My friend said this is an e-sports program, which is a game show.”

Hamlin said without looking back.

 He himself is a devoted video game player.

And he is also very obsessed with strategy games.

 When StarCraft was released, he immediately managed to buy a box of StarCraft games, and then played with several classmates from school almost day and night.

 They are all deeply immersed in this sci-fi and confusing world of war.

For the first time, he had the feeling of commanding soldiers and truly becoming a commander.

 Once he could only play war games with his classmates.

Before they played strategy games like StarCraft, they thought wargames were the most fun thing.

Even for Final Fantasy 7, the most popular video game at the time, he just thought it was fun. After playing it once, he threw it aside to eat dust.

 But now, his views have changed with the release of StarCraft.

Now he feels that StarCraft is the best thing.

Then, when his friend excitedly told him on the phone that the world-class competition of StarCraft was about to begin, he couldn't remember it since he went to bed after playing StarCraft at around five o'clock in the morning yesterday.

You are young and energetic. Even if you only sleep for two hours, as long as you know that the program you want to watch is about to be played, you can get up excitedly and watch it without hesitation.

 His father also became curious.

 He ​​is not interested in video games. At nearly forty, he has passed the age where he quickly became interested in games. At least games like Super Mario can no longer attract him.

 But when watching the game screen showing a duel between a group of soldiers on the TV, he also had a rare interest.

  It can be said that his son Hamlin’s obsession with war games is also due to his father’s contribution.

His father was an avid wargame enthusiast when he was young.

Even at this age, he would occasionally call a few old friends to play sandbox war games.

The father couldn't help but sit on the sofa at this time, and then asked casually: "Child, is this also a video game? I remember that the games you played before were not like this."

"Dad, this is because you are ignorant. I have been playing StarCraft for several months and you don't care at all. Let me tell you, this thing is really great. How about we play a game if we have a chance? ?”

 “Hmm…you can give it a try.”

 Since I’ve been bored recently, I might as well give it a try if I can have a common topic with my children.

Furthermore, he was indeed attracted by the battle scene on this battlefield.
