Chapter Seventy-Seven: Decision
From a gaming point of view, Promise 808 is not a qualified teammate at all, he is sparse, always startled, does not cooperate with the plan, and carries a mouthful of poisoned milk with him. With him in a double row, it is definitely eight lifetimes of blood mold. But from the perspective of network anchors, he is an indispensable and important partner.
Whether it is an entertainment anchor or a technical anchor, the ultimate goal is to please the audience. Only by gaining the recognition of the audience can the anchors use the power of the audience to go up and become famous in one fell swoop. The so-called water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and the success of any anchor is inseparable from the audience.
How can the anchor be recognized by the audience? One is to convince people, and the other is to make people laugh.
Use strength, technology, and ability to make the audience admire themselves, and show the degree that the audience can't do in front of the audience, and they will naturally have admiration. This is the path taken by many tech streamers, who want to conquer the audience with technology.
But people have a rebellious mentality, if the technology is not at the top, the effect will be counterproductive, not only will not make the audience admire, but will also be despised by them. The audience will feel that the anchor's skills are not good, and they like to show off, and they will spray the anchor useless.
Compared with convincing, the way to make people laugh is a little simpler. There is no need to be hysterical, and there is no need to have superb technology, as long as it can make the audience laugh, and the audience will support the anchor who can make them laugh. This is also the main reason why there are far more entertainment anchors than technical anchors, anyone can make people laugh, but not everyone can do it.
Lin Chen also wanted to be a technical anchor at first, but unfortunately his strength was not enough, so he could only retreat to the next best thing and transform into an entertainment anchor. But the entertainment anchor is not simple, and the laughter is also resistant, always repeating the previous routines, and funny things will become boring.
The appearance of Promise 808 solves this hidden danger, the two of them are funny, and the other is serious, which invisibly strengthens the entertainment effect, and the audience likes it more, which can be seen from the popularity.
Lin Chen and Ah Hao are in a double row, he can be regarded as sharing part of Ah Hao's popularity, the total popularity has increased from 1,000 to 3,000, and the shared popularity is unstable, they belong to Ah Hao, and they have nothing to do with Lin Chen.
When the two are in a double row, these people will come to Lin Chen's live broadcast room, and when the double row ends, except for a small number of viewers, most of the audience will still return to Ahao's live broadcast room.
It was the mutual demolition of the two that brought more highlights to the audience, and they were willing to stay in Lin Chen's live broadcast room and become one of his supporters.
Of course, in this process, Promise 808 will also gain corresponding popularity, and those viewers who feel that he is more attractive will move closer to him, and his popularity will increase rapidly.
For Lin Chen and Promise 808, in addition to being teammates, they can also complement each other in their careers and help each other. Not only Promise 808, but he also influenced another person.
"In the early hours of the morning, I thought about it, what you said yesterday makes a lot of sense, PUBG is a brand new game, and I need to start again with a new mindset. Early the next morning, Lin Chen received a message from Ahao.
Ah Hao is the technical anchor of "CrossFire", attracting a group of viewers with his super game level, and also helped him get a contract on the Panda platform. However, Cheng Ye Xiao He defeated Xiao He, everything in his world was pinned on "CrossFire", as the game gradually fell lonely, he also faced the danger of being eliminated, and if he didn't want to be eliminated, he could only move to other games.
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is his second choice, as a gun game that is popular all over the world and has been the world's No. 1 in sales all year round, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has much more audience than "CrossFire", "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can give birth to double-digit streamers, but "CrossFire" is impossible.
Slowly shifting his main business from CrossFire to PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Hao has his own ambitions, and he wants to take advantage of the new game to soar into the sky.
The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, his skills, mentality, and game experience are not very compatible with "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", he can't maintain his original attraction to the audience, and even, the audience will conflict because of Lin Chen's completely different live broadcast style from him.
In order not to exacerbate the conflict, after the first live broadcast, Lin Chen talked to Ah Hao once, and he suggested that Ah Hao change his game style and temporarily become an entertainment anchor before recovering his strength.
From Lin Chen's point of view, this suggestion is beneficial to both of them, the live broadcast style fits, the audience will not quarrel, and they can support each other. Of course, he actually understands that changing styles is a big gamble for Ah Hao.
If he wins, he will be able to have more viewers, and his future will be bright, and he will have the opportunity to sprint to the status of an intermediate anchor, or even a senior anchor. Once he fails, he loses a lot.
Some of the viewers who support him will leave him, his popularity will fall, the panda platform will give up on him, and he will be beaten back to his original form and climb hard in the dust.
On the one hand, it is to hold its ground, maintain what you have now, and not pursue change. On the other hand, there are opportunities and challenges, and how to choose can only rely on himself. Fortunately, he chose the path that Lin Chen was most looking forward to.
"Congratulations Brother Hao, with your strength, even if you start again in a new game, you will definitely be able to shine soon. Lin Chen knew that it was not easy to change his style, he didn't know what to say, so he could only send his blessings.
"I hope so, after all, "Crossfire" is not as popular as before, and sooner or later you will have to change careers, maybe it will be better to transfer early than later. "Everyone can see the loneliness of "Crossfire", even if the panda platform doesn't want to lose the game and decorate the façade with a contract to tie up several anchors, in fact, there will be fewer and fewer anchors like "CrossFire", this is the general trend, no one can stop it, and it may be the best choice for him to get out early.
Shaking his head, Ah Hao swept away the hesitation in his heart, and barely cheered up: "You are a senior in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", and in the future, we will be in a double row, you will have to take care of me more." ”
seems to be a joke, but to a certain extent, it represents Ah Hao's heart.
Lin Chen may not have thought that the main reason for Ah Hao's change in live broadcast style has a lot to do with him.
can play with the senior anchors, Lin Chen naturally will not refuse: "No problem, I may not be able to help Brother Hao in terms of technology, but in terms of entertainment, I am confident that I still have a little experience, let's work together in the future to strive for a world in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds". ”
Ah Hao completely let go of the hesitation in his heart, and he also replied boldly: "Okay, let's work together." Okay, you're ready to go live, I'll sleep for a while, think about it all night, and I should be able to fall asleep now. ”
This decision was perhaps the biggest change in his life, and he couldn't have been careless. Even if he was just looking at the words, Lin Chen could still feel Ah Hao's mood.
"It's not easy to sign a streamer. Shaking his head, Lin Chen put down his phone, he believed that Ah Hao made these decisions with dignity, but there was no way, if people can't change the world, they can only change themselves.
