Kutaragi Ken looked at these people with great disdain, and had a feeling of sadness in his heart, before he agreed to cooperate with Robert, mainly because the two have some similar concepts in the overall situation, and the resources of Sony and EA are also complementary, so he joined the CPL camp and invested millions of dollars to operate CPL, trying to compete head-on with WCG.

It's a pity that Robert died, his business philosophy is not treated by future generations at all, the new Kevin is a complete Wall Street investor, although Robert's plan was not completely overturned, but there are a lot of small actions in private, turning a good CPL game organization into a display concentration camp for advertisers, naming rights, product placement, and even staff clothing must be printed with the name of the mouse company, which is also called cost saving.

This made Kutara Kiken feel quite unhappy, what kind of cost savings is hundreds of thousands of dollars in advertising costs?

Originally, CPL was going to burn money for publicity, it was used to compete with WCG for popularity and authority, and tens of millions of dollars were invested in it, but they still tried every means to pick back from the cracks of the ditch, not thinking about how to make CPL new ideas and enhance the core competitiveness of CPL, just thinking about picking out hundreds of thousands of dollars from here and there, is this what an internationally famous game company did?

Looking at the table of these people today, I can only use the word "putting the cart before the horse" to describe them!

The eyes only look at the surface, but ignore the inner importance, a group of people are noisy and shouting, for whose pomp is bigger, whose fame is big, whose venue is more lively, these small things are entangled, and boast about themselves. Not to be proud, Mt. Kutaragi actually had a $5 million supplementary budget check in his hand. It's a pity that he doesn't want to invest a penny in it now.

"President Kutaragi, what do you mean by that?" Actually, Kevin is very shrewd. He's an excellent investor, but unfortunately he's not a good pure game company CEO, he has a lot of experience in business management, and he can hear Kutaragi Ken's upset, but he can't figure out why.

"Most fans don't necessarily like games, and players who like games don't necessarily like songs, and the purpose of WCG and CPL is to attract enough gamers to pay attention, so please don't forget that songs aren't the most important content," said Kutaragi coldly. If the total score is 100 points. Then the atmosphere of the scene is up to 5 points, the publicity channel is 10 points, and the core game competition should occupy 85 points! The full name of CPL is Cyberathlete-Professional-League, computer athletes, professional, league, please remember that the core of CPL is sports competition! ”

A group of people were speechless, perhaps. Even Muñoz, the creative proposer of the CPL, has ignored this and has forgotten the original significance of the founding of the CPL.

Kevin and Muñoz were a little ashamed, and they looked at each other, ready to apologize.

But Kutaragi Ken raised his hand to stop them. said: "I'll answer the question just now. In fact, we can see the gap in terms of sales of WCG or CPL games, but we have always been reluctant to admit it. Although there is no commonality in the playability of the game. It is not possible to make an accurate assessment of the numbers, and we all believe that there are other strengths that can be used to bridge the gap between them and us. Then we should absorb the shortcomings of the WCG game and make our game more attractive. That's what we need to do most urgently, not trying to find a way to prove that we're better than the other person. ”

The latter paragraph is to accuse Muñoz of low level, not wanting to make up for his shortcomings, but blindly exalting his own strengths, whitewashing the world, and self-absorption, which is a fool's behavior in the eyes of Kutaragi Ken.

Muñoz blushed, and Kevin's eyes lit up: "Can you reach a level beyond WCG?" ”

Kutaragi Ken shook his head and said, "We can only narrow the gap between the two as much as possible." Let CPL be featured, Kevin! If it's just a homogeneous game, we can't fight WCG, their game quality is indeed higher than ours, if we want to win, we can only fight for characteristics and professionalism. ”

"I want to hear about it!"

……

On the first day of the WCG competition, only half of the top 16 players in the 5 events were determined, and the second day continued, two days were enough time for all the top 16 players in the 5 events to qualify, and then the organizing committee arranged for the players to visit Shanghai, or rest in the hotel, or participate in some offline activities arranged by the organizing committee, meet with fans, participate in Mango TV interviews or something, and start the 16-in-8 competition a week later.

"Special Forces" decided the top 16 at the fastest speed, in addition to the Longteng E-sports Club, SK, 4Kings, these Yang Yun optimistic teams have come out of the plant, China and Lenovo E-sports Club into the top 16, China only these two teams have the strength to fight for medals, the other 14 teams are Japan, South Korea, Europe and the United States, it seems that the competitive level of the players is closely related to their material living standards.

"Not bad! All the ones that should be on are on, and none of the ones that shouldn't be on are on. Yang Yun looked at the summary report of the day, and he was in a better mood, and he made a joke by the way.

"Hah!" Wang Zhe had heard this joke, saying that the host had a treat, but he couldn't speak, and the guests came one after another, and the host first sighed that he had not come, and after angrily leaving some of the guests who had already arrived, he sighed that he should not have gone but all left, and all the remaining guests were gone.

Zhao Yongping said with some concern: "It's 19 o'clock in the evening, and it's already 7 o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, USA, I don't know how the CPL is preparing?" Shall we keep a vigil tonight and see the opening ceremony of the CPL? ”

Lin Zhihong nodded again and again: "Look!" They stayed up late last night to watch our opening ceremony, there must be new countermeasures, we watched their opening ceremony tonight, and we can fight back tomorrow morning! ”

Yang Yun asked angrily: "On what basis do you judge that their approach is because of the idea that they came up with after seeing our scene?" Tong guò live TV? I especially hate to see their foreign TV producers now, and you have all compared the broadcast effects of Fox TV and Mango TV, right? How does it feel? ”

The live broadcast program on the Mango TV channel is the Asia No. 1 satellite, covering the entire Asia and Oceania region, and other countries need to pay for Mango TV if they want to broadcast it.

At the opening ceremony of the Mango Channel's version, the pickup on the stage fluctuated, the TV signal fluctuated in strength and weakness, and sometimes it was during the critical period of the battle, but the screen switched to KiKi and their host's studio.

Sometimes it is a long time of cold scenes, the host is busy looking for relevant information, and the place where the picture is frozen is not in the script setting at all, the cooperation between the host and the director is very rusty, the assistant director and the on-site deployment staff have a poor grasp of the overall situation, and the frequent pictures do not match the commentary, or the words do not reach the meaning.

If you look at it with a critical eye, especially after watching the version transmitted back by Fox TV, everyone has nothing to say, Fox TV is 95 points, and Mango TV may only have about 60 points, but Mango TV has these 60 points, and it is still easy to fool the viewers who rarely see professional idea competitions in China.

Everyone looked depressed at first, then held back for a while and then started laughing.

"Hey, when will it be possible for all walks of life in our country to catch up with the Premier League and the United States!" Wang Zhe sighed deliberately, "In addition to the number of people, there is still a long way to go!" ”

"Mr. Yang, why don't we lend a helping hand and organize a group of young Chinese directors and screenwriters to go to the United States to learn from the experience? This person is more popular than the dead, after watching the broadcast on Fox TV, the editing of our Mango TV is really miserable! ”

"Our WCG is produced by the local satellite TV Mango station, and it is not the team responsible for CCTV, it's really good to be able to do this, at least you can watch it, are you right?"

"That is, who of the young people has not made a mistake? How long has Mango Terrace been formed? You don't have to put too much pressure on them! ”

"Yes, we are also the second largest shareholder of Mango Channel, isn't it, organize a group of people to study at public expense, we subsidize a small part, and we will hold a WCG every year in the future, it is impossible to see this kind of low-level live broadcast every year, right? Fox TV is doing a good job, but their commentary is in English, so you can't use it directly! ”

Zhao Yongping's construction made Yang Yun quite excited, anyway, in the future, we will organize WCG competitions every year and train relevant personnel, which is a matter of time, the sooner you study and train, the sooner you return to China to serve.

Yang Yun nodded: "After the WCG is over, Yongping, you contact Mango Terrace, and I will exert pressure on Director Cao, the study time at public expense is too long, and I am not willing to bear this expense." I'm worried now, which is CPL's partner TV station? Is it really the ABC of American Broadcasting? ”

Although I am very reluctant to admit it, this is the truth, ABC is too powerful, and its influence far exceeds that of Fox TV, and the programs they make will of course also have political positions.

"To remain unchanged, everyone goes back to rest today, I am personally on duty, tomorrow everyone comes to the company early, if there is a change in tomorrow's plan, I will notify you in time, the meeting is dismissed!"

After dismissing these subordinates, Yang Yun took out the phone and dialed it: "Are you ready?" ”

"Almost!" A man's hearty voice came, "The show starts at any time, listen to your instructions!" (To be continued......)
