Chapter 119 Let the world dance 10
At 6 o'clock, the stadium opened its doors.
"Hello everyone, this is Japanese TV. What we are about to broadcast for you is the global finals of the Han Dynasty DDR Masters. You can see..."
"I am a CBS host, I am currently located in..."
"Let's connect the M6 presenter in the United States..."
"China Sports Channel..."
With several TV stations and several languages, this much-anticipated competition has begun.
"BOSS, the ratings are starting to soar!"
"President, President! It's a record! Although it's only 8 o'clock in the morning, the ratings have broken our record!"
...
Liu Zhiyuan stood in the private room of the stadium and looked at the crowds pouring in, secretly shaking his fists. In 1988, he managed to fill a stadium with 100,000 people by playing games. Who can do it? Not 100,000, 10,000 is enough.
?
"What a terrible young man."
Hiroshi Yamauchi looked at the crowd of people on the TV and said without any emotion. Then he turned his head and glanced at Minoru Arakawa sitting aside.
"Can you do it?"
Arakawa Minoru gritted his teeth and did not answer.
He couldn't do it. Even the last grand event in Akihabara was actually attributed to Liu Zhiyuan. He was imitating Liu Zhiyuan's ideas throughout the process. Otherwise, the Akihabara premiere would not have been so large.
Nakayama Hayao sighed deeply and complicatedly, his voice a little hoarse.
"Contact President Liu and ask him what conditions he needs to return to Sega. If he wants to be the president of Sega, I can promise him that when he makes a certain contribution, I will step down and make way for someone else."
He originally thought that he had underestimated Liu Zhiyuan very much, but looking at the scene on the TV, he had to admit that he had underestimated him. No one had ever been able to do this through games.
This is no longer just a game, this is global entertainment! This is a competitive match! This is the scene he has dreamed of!
"this..."
"Who did this planning? Find him and recruit this person to our company at all costs."
"Yes...it's the boss of the Han Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan."
"..."
Almost all corporate executives in the world are watching this shocking final. Otherwise, the excitement is too great.
Tens of millions of dollars in publicity expenses are enough to make this DDR final known to everyone.
Those senior executives were frantically asking who was responsible for this promotion. Whether it was creativity or courage, this was the talent they desperately needed. But when they heard it was Liu Zhiyuan, they all fell silent.
The popularity of the grand event in Akihabara, Japan, has not faded away. Compared with the nine-month promotion and the endless means of the first launch, this time it is actually very average, but this is generally not something they can do.
"It's him, so it's not surprising, but it's a pity..."
Anyone who knows a little bit about Liu Zhiyuan will not recruit him into their ranks out of the blue, because next year he is very likely to enter a lot of world-class lists.
Forbes, Celebrity List, Young Elites...even World Weekly began to investigate him, and Forbes internally began to discuss whether to make a special list of young talents aged 20 to 30 in the world.
In terms of achievements, Liu Zhiyuan is actually much better than them. He became the number one game software developer in less than 2 years, which is the only example in history.
When these high-level giants were still comparing the promotion this time to Akihabara last time, the TV screen finally switched to the venue.
"this..."
"Talent! Unparalleled creativity!"
"Can the game still be like this? Are you sure this isn't the World Cup? This isn't the Super Bowl? This isn't..."
"Everyone, please prepare yourself. A very young but very capable entrepreneur is about to appear in this world."
"..."
At this moment, everyone watching the live broadcast was stunned by Liu Zhiyuan's handwriting. This was a promotion that was not inferior to Akihabara. He opened another door to the game, competitive competition!
This is not the kind of competition between a few people and dozens of people, but a competition in front of hundreds of thousands of people and hundreds of millions of viewers in front of the TV!
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 people, was divided into 20 areas by Liu Zhiyuan. Different flags were erected in each area, and even the colors of the seats and fields were different.
From the top of each field, there is a huge portrait, which is the portrait of the king of this field.
America, Team Subversion, Quick Foot, Connor, Quick Hand, Jack.
France, dynamite, Alfred.
Japanese, weirdo, Ito Watanabe.
Germany, Jedi Dancers, Monkey, Frank, The Great, Bach.
...
14 global audition champions plus special John Owen and 5 referees, 20 huge portraits are densely laid on the walls of the venue.
This is the attitude that e-sports should have, this is the treatment that players deserve, this is the final form of electronic entertainment, and it should not be inferior to sports such as football, rugby, and basketball.
It should not be obscured by entertainment superstars, it should spread its charm unscrupulously, and it deserves tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions of people to cheer for it and for it.
its sharp sword
"President Liu, why didn't you come to Rentang..."
Hiroshi Yamauchi sighed. If he couldn't see how much profit there was, then he would not be worthy of the title of Game Emperor. If the tickets for this final were changed to a paid model, he could earn tens of millions of dollars from the ticket price alone.
How many games can eventually earn tens of millions of dollars?
"Who came into contact with the Han Dynasty in the first place?"
The secretary knew that Hiroshi Yamauchi was very angry now.
"It's Team Leader Aso of the Purchasing Department."
"Let him watch the DDR finals and submit a report on contact with the Han Dynasty."
"yes."
The secretary knew that Aso was finished, whether it was his fault or not, he was finished.
"President Liu, I really admire you so much..."
Nakayama Hayao's eyes lost color. He stared blankly at the TV screen and muttered to himself. He knew that he would never be able to recruit Liu Zhiyuan back to Sega unless he gave him the position of Sega president now.
But even if the position of Sega president is given to Liu Zhiyuan, I'm afraid he won't come back.
"Am I wrong? Suzuki Yu has also been very dissatisfied with me recently, and..."
Nakayama Hayao had a rare moment of reflection.
"boom..."
Okamura Hideki angrily put the tea cup in his hand on the table. It was originally his, it belonged to Konami, if he had still had the illusion that Liu Zhiyuan and others failed before.
At this moment, this illusion was shattered. After the fermentation of this DDR Global Masters, the DDR market can really reach tens of billions!
Don’t believe it? Look at those crazy people. Now he dares to assert that the order for DDR must exceed 5 billion US dollars! If it doesn’t reach that level, Konami will give it away!
"Capcom! Kenzo Tsujimoto!"
