Chapter 212 Two or three things in the professional circle
Early on Friday morning, Liu Yifei went online as soon as possible. No matter how much he cherished his game time today, he wished he could spend every minute and every second to train and improve himself in the C-level hero camp plot.
We must also take some time to complete the "bet" we made with Chairman Xu Gaosheng last night.
The good news is that the branch headquarters of "Jiangshan" arranged in Erathia is in Standwick. After all, this is the main city of human players. Its scenery and functional buildings are also the best and most comprehensive in Erathia. Even now
Most of the players have gathered in the "dungeon area", but the nominal "offices" of the major first-line and quasi-first-line guilds are still located in Standwick City. At least they don't have to trouble Liu Yifei to run around looking for people.
As soon as he went online, Liu Yifei opened his friend bar and entered the ID "Jiangshan Everywhere"... No way, since he made a name for himself in the game a few times, the friend application list has been blocked for a long time.
Bombing is now directly blocked. He can only add others as friends. If others actively add him, they will only be prompted to be blocked.
And this ID was given to him by Xu Gaosheng after he made the bet last night.
It is stated that this is the head of the branch established by the "Jiangshan" Guild in the game "Heroes of Invincible World of War", and the other party will receive him when the time comes.
This is not because Xu Gaosheng is being arrogant and refuses to come forward in person, but at the current height of "Jiangshan", if Xu Gaosheng still wants to personally lead the game in everything, their entire guild will have millions of registered members and hundreds of thousands of VIP guests.
Players are scattered in more than a dozen games, large and small. How can Xu Gaosheng bring them here?
Therefore, from a long time ago, large domestic online game guilds like "Jiangshan" have begun to operate a "game community culture": gathering fellow players on the Internet, working hard in different games, and forming a core team by hiring professional players.
Provide better services and benefits in a way that can provide a comfortable and excellent relaxing gaming environment to those players who have spent money to become VIP customers of the guild, and charge a high annual membership fee...
For a guild leader like Xu Gaosheng, who doesn't have more than a dozen branch game teams under him? And they themselves are just doing business and managing the prestige of their respective associations.
To put it bluntly, today's large guilds are standard service industries. For war-oriented online games like "Heroes of Invincible: World of War", they have to try to conquer a large territory, build their own cities, and then allow those VIP customers to relax and enjoy themselves.
enjoy.
Although ordinary players can also enjoy some of the fringe benefits of large guilds, if they want to get more, they have to put in a considerable amount of labor and actively participate in the development and construction of the game in the early stages. Only then can they gradually become core players absorbed by the guild.
.
At this point, there are two categories of "professional players" in today's online gaming circle:
First, they are the kind of activists among ordinary people. They registered for free at the beginning and became grassroots players in major guilds. Then, after being screened step by step, they gradually became the core backbone of the guild.
Usually these people work hard and are active supporters of the guild. When they reach a certain level, the guild will replenish their wages in return, affirming their past contributions and efforts, and thereby retaining them to continue working hard for the guild.
Compared with the small team of real professional players like Kuanglong Studio, such "grassroots professional players" are actually the most numerous in the game. They are commonly known as "online game workers", but they are also the largest group of professional players in online games, and even
A truly powerful guild will also sign employment agreements with these core members, making them truly network employees of their own company.
Although professional player studios such as Kuanglong Studio are different from the core players of these large guilds and have higher average quality, they can generally be regarded as "a type of person". In short, they only provide services and carry out activities.
The “workers” of infrastructure construction.
As for the "other type" of professional players, they actually refer to those who truly stand at the top of the professional player circle and are able to overlook the existence of all living beings - those "star players" who rely on online games to exist!
Typical representatives are the so-called "professional gamers" in those very competitive battle games.
These people are still professional players, but they actually do not need to perform the underlying production and construction operations in the game. Instead, they are a special group that continuously hone their skills and then perform "performances" to please the audience and ultimately realize their commercial value.
But it is undeniable that in the corresponding gaming circles, these people are real "stars"! Their appeal among the fan groups is even greater than that of real entertainment stars~
The future "War Alliance" will follow the path of competitive entertainment, and it will also introduce a large number of "war heroes" who will be popular in the future!
It's just that we have to wait until the game's camp antagonism and battle enjoyment are greatly improved in the future to gather fans and form market conditions. But right now, there are no such "competitive players".
However, not every online game is likely to form its own competitive entertainment circle~
For example, a large guild like "Jiangshan" will work hard to launch its own "star players" in different games - these are also professional players who have signed a formal employment agreement with the guild, but these people do not have to go out to fight monsters and open up wasteland.
Building a city or something like that, just like those competitive players, just keep practicing PK skills in various games, and then the guild will provide them with high-quality equipment and publicity services, in order to make them "in the eyes of ordinary players"
Traffic star"!
It doesn’t matter who has a higher level compared to the real “competitive players” - but in any case, we must be the better-looking one!
Yes, these "star players" packaged by big guilds are all handsome men and beauties!
The high-quality appearance, coupled with the gorgeous equipment, and the vigorous publicity of the guild, allow these special "star players" to steal the limelight, and then use their popularity to help their guilds to absorb popularity crazily, expand the number of peripheral players, and then
Only in this way can the guild be squeezed layer by layer... or filtered, and eventually more core players will be slowly gathered, and the group's power will continue to grow...
Since the development of the professional gamer circle, this kind of routine has long been played badly by various players. Even if any guild really cultivates a popular online game star, some small and medium-sized new games will even be released specially.
Spend money to invite these online game stars to come out and increase their popularity!
A top-notch star player is also a terrifying existence that can easily attract hundreds of thousands of players and fans! And for small and medium-sized games with player traffic of less than one million players, isn't this kind of appeal exactly what they crave?
So a large guild with top-notch star players can even control game companies with small and medium assets...
Liu Yifei estimated that the "star players" who would come to compete with him today should be the "star players" cultivated by Jiangshan Guild. After all, he boasted about the standard of 10 million per year in Haikou. If Jiangshan Guild really sends a core battle group here...
Not counting the managers, the monthly salary of a grassroots elite group player is only about two to three thousand. Including bonuses and in-game material rewards after one year, the monthly salary is about thirty thousand - one
Ten million is equivalent to the expenditure level of more than 300 people!
If Jiangshan really sent three squadrons to fight him, then Liu Yifei would be really convinced - he might not be unable to defeat him in the future, but right now...
Fortunately, when he met that "good guy everywhere" and saw the handsome men and beauties lining up behind him, Liu Yifei immediately felt at ease - if he was fighting with a small team, he thought he was right~
Although he was a little anxious, Liu Yifei still behaved very calmly when he really got down to business. Under the recommendation of "Jiangshan Everywhere is Good", he met the "little stars" trained by Jiangshan one by one.
On the whole, the seven people were quite polite, except for the leader who was a bit arrogant and raised his chin when greeting Liu Yifei.
This person may not take Liu Yifei seriously, but "Everywhere is Good" doesn't dare to be careless. This person in front of him is a "master" who was personally ordered by the president. Even as Jiangshan's general person in charge of this game, he knows something about it.
Rumors related to the other party - the strong man who broke through the "Fifth Consecutive Record" of the Nightmare Wolf's Lair dungeon before. That is not a small thing that everyone can do~
Even the opponent's highest record was broken more than half a month after that...
As a "casual person", he led an inexplicable wild team of passers-by and defeated millions of people in the server, all major guilds, and even all professional players - now this man
It seems that he was persuaded by the president to join their Jiangshan Guild. How dare this branch leader be so careless?
So when the other party's principal arrived, I originally wanted to sit down and get close to Liu Yifei, and keep in touch with each other... But Liu Yifei really didn't have the heart to accompany Moji. If it weren't for the tens of millions of funds, he wouldn't do it now.
You will waste time on such trivial matters.
"This... President of the Excellent Branch, how about we start the competition directly? President Xu must have made the matter clear to you, right? In fact, our main purpose today is to come up with the results of the competition, and use this as a basis for the competition.
Let him make some decisions, that's all. In fact, there is really no need to make things too complicated~" Liu Yifei said while suppressing his temper.
"Um...Brother Geralt, this is...a bit embarrassing~ The president's notice came too late last night, and it was hard for the people below us to do their jobs. There are a few other people in this team who couldn't make it over.
If possible, I was wondering if I could wait a little longer..."
"Oh! Boss Beibeijia, I forgot to tell you. The boss said that he had an appointment with a girl from the Holy Maiden to fight a BOSS today, so he won't come~ So..."
"What? Why didn't you tell me about this just now?"
When Chu Chujia heard this and asked in surprise, Liu Yifei couldn't help but frown...
