Chapter 441 The grand occasion of the live broadcast industry
In fact, single-player AAA masterpieces like "Red Dead Redemption 2" are not popular in China, but online games and mobile games are more popular in China.
However, as the domestic player base continues to expand in recent years, the pursuit of high-quality games has become a trend, and many major game companies have set their sights on China, a market that has not yet been fully developed. In the past, the Chinese translation of 3A masterpiece games required It relies on domestic wild Chinese groups to do it. Most of these games are pirated.
With the promotion and popularity of Stem, the number of genuine paying players has gradually increased, and major game companies have also begun to launch Chinese versions of their own games. What's more, they even have Chinese dubbing.
Some time ago, CDPR released the game trailer of "Cyberpunk 2077". It is dubbed in Chinese in the Chinese region, and it is also very authentic and full of various Chinese quintessences, making Chinese players look forward to it.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
CDPR originally planned to invite Li Hyuk to dub the male V, the protagonist of the game, but Li Hyuk was very busy with work and declined politely. If Li Hyuk was invited to dub the game, I wonder how excited CDPR would be.
However, the most important thing about a game is its quality, and Rockstar is full of confidence in the quality of "Red Dead Redemption 2". In eight years and with a budget of US$800 million, if the game cannot be made well, the person in charge of Rockstar should be Jumped off the building.
Inviting Li Hyuk to promote this time is a brand new marketing attempt. For this reason, Rockstar sent people to communicate with Li Hyuk's agent Qian Duoduo early, and the live broadcast plan was arranged at Station B.
Station B is also very excited, because Station B has always wanted to expand its live broadcast business, but has never been able to compete with the live broadcast platform Huya Douyu. This time Li He came to live broadcast, which means huge traffic. Station B’s live broadcast business is likely to continue Soaring into the sky.
The senior management of Station B attaches great importance to this and personally directs the live broadcast to ensure that no accidents occur during the live broadcast. The live broadcast location has also been arranged. It is in the study room of Li He's home. The staff of Station B came over early to install the live broadcast equipment and debug it. good.
For this live broadcast, Rockstar has specially configured and shipped the best-equipped console at present. Li Hyuk usually plays games on PC, that is, a computer. This is his first time using a console. For this reason, he also specially familiarized himself with the controller of the console. How to play. But I’m used to the keyboard and mouse, so it’s a bit uncomfortable to use the console.
On Saturday night, after dinner, Li Hyuk was ready to broadcast live. The person in charge of the live broadcast of Rockstar and Station B were all there. The live broadcast officially started at 8 o'clock in the evening, and Station B had been listed on the homepage for several days. The number of people who have made reservations to watch the live broadcast has exceeded 10 million.
"Li, this live broadcast is very simple. It mainly involves playing the first chapter of the game. It will end at the new place in the second chapter. The game is very simple." said the person in charge of Rockstar.
Li He nodded and said: "I understand. I have tried it before. Will there be any problems when the live broadcast comes?"
"Don't worry, we have provided the best routes to ensure that the live broadcast room will not be stuck when the time comes." The staff of Station B assured.
"OK, let's get started!" Li He was relieved. After completing the preparations, he started to give it a try.
At 7:50, the live broadcast room was still dark, but at this time the barrage had exploded, and all kinds of captain gifts kept coming. The amount and popularity of the gifts were enough to make many big anchors envious.
"Why haven't you started yet?"
"Ah, brother, brother, look at me, I'm on the wall."
"Wow, I'm so excited to be face to face with my idol."
"What's live today?"
"Even if the senior doesn't do anything, I'm willing to just live stream and sleep."
"You're such a bad person in front of me, you actually want to watch someone sleep."
"Actually, who would I rather be with, the senior..."
"Shut up, you stinky woman, stay away from school."
"Sorry, I'm a man..."
"Ugh, you guys are so disgusting."
The barrage of fans has been explosive enough, and other live broadcast platforms that followed this live broadcast are regretful. Why didn't they fight for this opportunity in the first place?
The backstage staff at Station B were sweating coldly as they watched the heated live broadcast room. A staff member reported to the supervisor: "Supervisor, our line can no longer withstand it and is about to explode. What should we do?"
"What, we have so many lines and it will explode?" The supervisor couldn't believe it.
"The main reason is that there are too many people watching. There are now 11 million people online at the same time. There will definitely be a lag when the broadcast starts." The staff said.
The supervisor was a little confused. He thought he had overestimated Li He's popularity, but he didn't expect that he underestimated it. Usually, the popularity of major anchors has a lot of water. Judging from the popularity of millions, the actual number may be hundreds of thousands. But
There is no need to falsify Li He's data. The more than 11 million people are real. Why are these people idle and have nothing to do?
The supervisor is still Taiwanese. Not to mention Li Hyuk’s terrifying number of fans, there are also many gamers, passers-by and spectators. In short, this live broadcast has become a grand event in the live broadcast industry, and has even affected other live broadcast rooms.
When Douyu Saozhu started his daily live broadcast, the barrage had already begun to show Li Hyuk's live broadcast at Station B. Everyone, hurry up and watch the barrage. There were so many of these barrages that Douyu's super management had to
Take action to ban a group of people, otherwise the audience will all be gone.
The anchors at Station B are very simple. They call it ward rounds, and then their own live broadcast room is linked to Li He's live broadcast room. At this time, it is actually overcrowded, and various gifts are given non-stop. Many small anchors have started broadcasting.
I have never received as many gifts as I did today. I kept thanking the audience and my tone of voice changed with excitement.
It can be said that in today's situation, only some popular beauty anchors can survive. Li Hyuk's charm still cannot attract these LSPs, unless they are gay.
In order to ensure the smoothness of the live broadcast, the supervisor specially applied for technical support to ensure the stability of Li He's live broadcast to the greatest extent.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the live broadcast room opened on time. Li Hyuk put on a little makeup to be on camera. The audience in the live broadcast room became excited when they saw Li Hyuk appear, and the barrage exploded. Many people's live broadcast screen even stopped and re-entered.
Can't even squeeze in.
The live broadcast manager of Station B was so anxious that he shouted to the technical staff: "Quick, quick, quick, stabilize the live broadcast line and ensure smoothness. If you can't do this, I will fire you."
The technician was operating in a cold sweat and kept repeating: "This is unreasonable, this is too crazy..."
After a lot of hard work, the live broadcast room was finally a little more stable. At this time, the number of people online in real time has exceeded 20 million, which is real data. The popularity data of station B shows that it has exceeded 100 million, breaking the record in the live broadcast industry and attracting countless people.
The anchor looked up with envy.
People from Rockstar were very satisfied when they saw this heated event. It was worth the money. It only took one live broadcast to increase the popularity of the game. Rockstar would laugh out of its dreams.
But the most important thing is later. Once the popularity is established, the game must pass the test, but Rockstar is very confident and believes that the game will not disappoint players.
