At 5 o'clock in the afternoon, amidst the tsunami of applause and cheers from the audience, the first exhibition match of the ICL League officially started!
The host passionately greeted all the audience at the scene and in the live broadcast room, and worked hard to arouse the emotions of the scene.
Both Eric and Zhao Xuming at the scene felt very proud.
This is ioi's own league, and we finally have a league that can compete with the GPL!
I have to say that the atmosphere at the scene was still very lively. After all, the staff found by the ICL League were quite professional. The audience at the scene were all loyal fans of ioi, and a small number were specially hired to lead the scene. Regardless of
Whether it's applause or cheers, both are just right.
Seeing that the game successfully completed BP and entered the game screen without any glitches, Zhao Xuming let out a sigh of relief, and a big stone that had been hanging in his heart finally fell.
He took out his mobile phone and opened Tuwei Live, wanting to see what was going on there.
Logically speaking, there should be no problem.
As long as there are no problems on site and the signal transmitted to the live broadcast room is OK, what other problems can there be in the live broadcast room besides lagging?
Zhao Xuming clicked on Tuwei Live and quickly found the ICL League live broadcast room on the homepage.
The recommended resources are indeed quite sufficient. There is a very eye-catching large banner on the homepage, and there is also a special ioi game section. Click on it and you will directly see the live broadcast of the ICL league. There is no problem in all aspects.
Zhao Xuming felt much more at ease.
Although Pei is always a competitor and has just caused a wave of trouble with ICS, after all, we have already signed a contract!
After all, Mr. Pei is still a very contractual person and will definitely act in accordance with the contract.
However, after he clicked on the live broadcast room and saw the number of people in the live broadcast room, he fell into a sluggish state.
27985!
There are zeros and round numbers, and this number will continue to change, sometimes increasing and sometimes decreasing.
Zhao Xuming thought he had made a mistake. Was he missing a few digits?
But he put his face close to the phone screen and watched it carefully. After watching it for a long time, he finally confirmed that he was right, it was a five-digit number, and it was viewed by less than 30,000 people in total!
Zhao Xuming was confused. He looked at the barrages in the live broadcast room. There were quite a few?
Various bullet screens are scrolling, and you can often see people giving small gifts!
Although there are not many gifts, after all, this is a live broadcast room of the event, and there are not many people giving gifts. The key is to see the density of the barrage.
Judging from the density of the barrage, there is no big problem. After all, the screen in the live broadcast room is so big. As long as there are a thousand live people, the barrage can keep rolling; if there are 10,000 live people, the barrage can keep scrolling.
screen; if there are tens of thousands of live people, the barrage will be split, otherwise it will affect normal viewing.
After all, the ICL League has been promoting for so long, and many ioi players will be attracted to it. It is normal for the density of barrages to be high.
The key is what is the number of viewers?
It would be too shameful to have less than 30,000 people!
Other live streaming platforms can easily reach millions or tens of millions of hits?
Even if you are a small anchor, if your live broadcast has only 30,000 hits, you will be embarrassed to say hello to others when you go out.
Zhao Xuming's face fell at that moment. President Pei was actually waiting here?
All the other promotional materials were fine, but in the end, they secretly limited the number of viewers on the live broadcast platform?
Obviously, the audience also noticed this number of people, and many people were discussing it on the barrage.
"Isn't it an exclusive broadcast? There are less than 30,000 people in total?"
"In other words, there are only 30,000 people watching the ICL league in the world? Pfft, I'm embarrassed to laugh out loud."
"Hey, the ioi is still cold and can't be saved."
"Compared to the GPL, it's far behind. I won't read it anymore."
Zhao Xuming was very angry. The Tuwei live broadcast was so unfair!
Needless to say, it must have been ordered by Mr. Pei!
He deliberately lowered the intensity of the live broadcast room to create a feeling for everyone that ICL is not popular, which is deplorable!
Eric also noticed this and his face didn't look very good.
He originally had a PTSD mentality towards Mr. Pei, and was afraid that Mr. Pei would plot against him in some way, so he was always on guard.
Zhao Xuming immediately called Chen Yufeng.
Even if Mr. Pei causes trouble, don’t be afraid, both parties have signed a contract!
If this kind of back-and-forth method is caught, Zhao Xuming can immediately ask Tuwei Live to change it, otherwise he can ask for free termination of the contract and terminate the cooperation between the two parties.
Chen Yufeng's voice soon came over the phone: "Hello? Mr. Zhao, you should have watched the ICL live broadcast, right? Do you have any questions?"
Zhao Xuming laughed in his heart.
You still have the nerve to ask me if I have any questions? Isn’t this asking knowingly?
Zhao Xuming: "Mr. Chen, you are not doing this properly!"
"Why limit the popularity of ICL league live broadcast?"
Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment: "Limit the heat? No? How could we do such a thing?"
Zhao Xuming was even more unhappy. How could he still dare to deny it?
"Mr. Chen, how can you only have more than 20,000 popularity! This is not as good as an ordinary anchor on other live broadcast platforms! How does this make the audience watch the ICL League? The attention is not as good as an ordinary anchor? I feel that there is no one in our league.
look?"
Chen Yufeng smiled and explained: "Mr. Zhao, you misunderstood. This is the real number of people!"
"We absolutely do not limit the popularity, nor will we limit the popularity. The number of people in the Tuwei live broadcast room is the real number of people and will never be adulterated."
"As for other live broadcast platforms..."
"Their number is the popularity, not the actual number of people. A live broadcast room with 3,000 people can have a popularity of hundreds of thousands; a live broadcast room with 20,000 people can have a popularity of 500,000 or 600,000."
"So according to the popularity calculation of other live broadcast rooms, the popularity of the ICL League should be almost one million."
Zhao Xuming opened his mouth and was speechless for a moment.
If according to what Chen Yufeng said, the popularity of the live broadcast room can reach one million, and the official falsifies it a little in the background and adjusts the data, the peak value will be over two million, which should be almost the same as the popularity of GPL on some small live broadcast platforms.
.
In that case, there seems to be no problem.
But the key point is that judging from Chen Yufeng’s intentions, Tuwei Live doesn’t seem to have any intention of helping the ICL league with data!
Zhao Xuming was speechless: "Mr. Chen, do you still need me to explain this kind of thing clearly?"
Chen Yufeng: "What happened?"
Zhao Xuming: "Making data! You are a live broadcast platform, don't you know this? In order to make the audience think this thing is very popular, you should increase the data, right?"
"There is no problem with the amount of barrage now, there is no problem with the discussion, and the live broadcast is smooth and not stuck at all, but it is the popularity and the number of viewers..."
Chen Yufeng flatly refused: "Oh, that's what you mean, Mr. Zhao."
"I'm really sorry about that. President Pei emphasized when Tuwei Live was first established that all our data must be authentic and must not be adulterated. So I'm sorry, we can't make an exception for this."
Zhao Xuming felt a little confused: "Not even once?"
Chen Yufeng: "As long as it happens once, the credibility of the website will be gone, and it will be useless even if you put real data in the future. I hope Mr. Zhao can understand."
Zhao Xuming was speechless for a moment.
This is a big deal!
What Chen Yufeng said here is reasonable and well-founded. This is a matter of principle that Tuwei Live has implemented since its establishment. It seems that it is not specifically targeted at the ICL league.
But the question is, which live broadcast platform doesn’t fake it now?
If there was no fraud, the scene would be too shabby!
The number of viewers, less than 30,000, made Zhao Xuming very uncomfortable.
Zhao Xuming didn't want to give up just like that: "However, our contract stipulates that you will cooperate with us in publicity. This popularity..."
Before Zhao Xuming finished speaking, Chen Yufeng had already replied: "Mr. Zhao, there is no agreement in our contract that we will help you create fake data! I'm afraid this cannot be included in the normal operation and promotion strategy, right?"
"You see, we have done all the publicity and promotion work on our live broadcast platform, and the results are obvious to all. The bandwidth of the live broadcast room is also no problem, and the audience's viewing experience is fully guaranteed."
Zhao Xuming: "This..."
It seems that this is really the case. There is no mention of false data in the contract!
Mainly at that time, both Zhao Xuming and Eric felt that since Tuwei Live spent a lot of money to buy the exclusive broadcast rights of ICL, they would definitely do their best to promote it. After all, after ICL is established, it will also bring support to Tuwei Live.
Come with a lot of heat.
Falsifying data is a specialty of live broadcast platforms, so why not?
But there really isn’t one here at Tuwei Live!
Zhao Xuming said: "However, the promotion of the ICL League will definitely be greatly affected, and the effect will be greatly reduced!"
Chen Yufeng chuckled: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, we will handle the publicity work of the ICL League and there will definitely be no problems!"
"If you observe patiently for a few more days, the heat will definitely continue to rise!"
Zhao Xuming hesitated for a moment, but had no other words to say, so he could only hang up the phone reluctantly.
Eric saw Zhao Xuming hang up the phone and asked, "What do you say over there?"
Zhao Xuming repeated Chen Yufeng's words.
Eric also fell silent.
This is embarrassing.
Tuwei Live did indeed act in full compliance with the contract. They were not at fault, and it was naturally impossible for Zhitou Company and Longyu Group to terminate the contract directly.
Of course, they can also use the forced termination clause and pay a liquidated damages of 7 million.
But the problem is, you can’t do it!
At present, Tuwei Live's live broadcast and promotion of the ICL league are quite satisfactory in all aspects. The only thing is that the number of people in the live broadcast room is not fake. The real data looks a bit hurtful.
But just because of this reason, you throw away 7 million in vain and terminate the contract with Tuwei Live? Refund the solo broadcast fee? Find another live broadcast platform to cooperate?
It feels like your brain is so dry.
Zhao Xuming and Eric were both in a tangle.
This is obviously not a big problem, but it is always crawling around in their minds like a little bug.
After careful consideration, Eric said: "We'll wait and see for a few more days. If the effect is really bad and has a serious negative impact on the ICL, we will go to Mr. Pei to settle the score!"
