Chapter 55: All-Star Weekend
In the past, the NBA All-Star Game was always held during the Spring Festival of the Chinese people, and it is estimated that the annual Spring Festival Gala program is too bad, carry forward the spirit of internationalism, and provide a little entertainment program of sufficient level for the Chinese people.
However, due to the collapse of labor negotiations last year, the NBA was shut down for a long time, and when it restarted, all the schedules were postponed, so this year's All-Star Weekend was scheduled for early March.
Of course, this kind of postponement is negligible for my big goose factory, since the purchase of all the NBA online live broadcast copyrights, the goose factory has become popular with a lot of small anchors, anyway, whether you understand the ball or not, as long as you look passable, it is best to be a brain-dead fan of a certain team or a certain star, that is a proper big hit.
Not to mention the content director in charge of the NBA, which is called a hot one, and an inconspicuous position in the barrage hall where timeouts, halftime, and even chatting and farting are sold for sky-high prices, and if you book a little later, you won't have a place to buy it.
Andi is the NBA content director who has just taken office not long ago, a native of Hong Kong Island, relying on a relationship with a top boss in the goose factory, standing out from countless competitors and grabbing this super sought-after position.
But when the All-Star Weekend was approaching, Andi began to worry, it stands to reason that this is the best time for all advertising to sell, and it is also the largest sales of annual results every year, but this year, several big customers are holding an obvious wait-and-see attitude, as if they are counting on the goose factory to reduce prices.
"Counting on the price reduction of the goose factory, you might as well expect the Chinese football team to enter the World Cup", Andi thought hatefully,
But the more Andi thought about it, the more strange he felt, with the urine nature of these big customers, there was absolutely no courage to resist the butcher's knife of the goose factory, the most common scenario is that the left hand slashed you, and you have to put the position right, so that it is more convenient for others to cut with their right hand.
"Have you eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall today?" Andi thought, she picked up the phone, ready to ask her familiar auto industry customers to see if there was anything special this year.
"Boss, look at this", her prestige on the most powerful horse boy avatar flashed twice, and then sent her a few links,
Andi casually opened a link, and with a "whoosh", an advertising page popped up for Goose Factory rival 361, on which was a big NBA Logo, and a composite photo, putting together the actions of winning the recent slam dunk contest, and then inserting a black silhouette inside, with a huge slogan below,
"What are you waiting for, the next one is you", the subheading is,
"On March 6th, get ready for pepper live streaming and VR glasses, and we will witness the birth of the champion together."
"What's the matter, all the NBA's video broadcast signals have been bought out by our exclusive network", Andi couldn't help but scold,
"Witness a fart, see if I can't sue you."
Open another link, "March 6th, fly!" On top of the basket! ”,
"Storm VR glasses and pepper live bring you a new world like never before!"
"Tricky", Andi picked up the phone on the table,
"Pick me up from the legal department", after a while, Andi's voice was much louder,
"Yes, yes, you've seen competitors' ads too, haven't you?"
"Is our purchase able to cover all official signals", Andi who received a clear answer was puzzled, could it be that the prestige of the legal department of the Big Goose Factory had not been passed on to everyone?
So in the afternoon, the NBA's cooperation department, legal department, and Goose Factory Intellectual Property Protection Team held a small meeting to discuss these recent developments.
After carefully studying the NBA's licensing contract many times, the legal department came to a very clear opinion that all video signals cannot be used by anyone else in China without the permission of the goose factory, not even video screenshots, let alone GIFs.
Now the reason why there are still some GIFs on other websites is because the goose factory doesn't want to care, so that these low-quality, poor-performing dynamic GIFs can be used as free advertisements for my goose factory's live video broadcast software, Amen.
The legal department cannot take action based on the existing advertising content, but they will sue the madmen who dare to challenge our Big Goose Factory in court the moment the infringement is formed, so that these bold and reckless fanatics can bear the wrath of our Big Goose Factory.
Just when the legal department of the goose factory was gearing up, Kobe also sent good news to Wang Yinan from LA, the black mamba's face is really not covered, and several favorites in this year's slam dunk contest agreed to bring live headgear to the game.
Of course, it is more likely that these marginal figures in the NBA were completely conquered by the arrogance of the local tyrants who swiped the live broadcast room.
Two days before the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, the publicity of pepper live broadcast and related VR glasses reached a climax, in order to achieve the effect of allowing people who do not have VR glasses to have the opportunity to experience the panoramic plus three-dimensional effect, Wang Yinan and the cardinal leader have made a dead effort, Rong and the company and 361 first took out a sum of money and ordered hundreds of thousands of sets of simple VR glasses.
It's the kind of carton that can put a mobile phone, with two magnifying lenses, which can be fixed on the head with a strap, and the cost is about fifteen soft sister coins, and 300,000 sets of customized products, all kinds of gifts, shopping gifts, 811 shopping gifts, watching movies, and online shopping.
Anyway, in the end, before the All-Star Weekend, 300,000 sets were given away by a very loser.
Time flies quickly, the NBA All-Star Weekend has finally arrived, 361 is still annoyed that the advertising is not strong enough, Andi is also very depressed, the performance of the advertisement is far from expected, and the legal department of the goose factory has prepared a two-meter-long broadknife, don't get me wrong, it's not the author's.
Wang Yinan came to LA's Staples Field early, and with his popularity today, he can still get a good seat in the front row.
And when Wang Yinan was still on the way to the stadium, in the morning of imperial capital time, all users who opened Pepper Live would be swiped by a huge advertisement.
"Bluestar's first first-person panoramic stereoscopic live broadcast",
"Flying is no longer the preserve of a few",
"NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest, who is the champion?" ,
If your phone is a normal 1080P screen, the resolution of each picture is 960 times 540, which will not be too surprising, but if you are a trendy mobile phone gamer and buy the latest 2K screen, then you will be stunned by the resolution of 1280 times 720 for each picture.
Because every picture has reached a resolution of 720P.
If you happen to have a pair of VR glasses that you give away and put your phone in and put them on, of course, if you have a more upscale and better professional VR glasses, you will be completely stunned by the realistic stereoscopic effect and the 360-degree panorama that you can see with your head.
In order to understand what the enemy is doing, Andi bought a high-end storm VR glasses, 1200 soft girl coins, of course, the Andi mobile phone that is not short of money is PhoneX, although it can't reach the level of 720P per picture, but it's not much closer.
Putting on his glasses, Andi immediately let out an exclamation "o! ”
Andi feels like he's gotten a lot taller, judging from the picture, he is sitting on the bus, this bus is also very strange, the seats are very wide, even the TV on the roof of the car is super large, and there is a voiceover in his ear, "I'm Aaron Gordon of the Magic team, I'm on the bus to Staples",
As he was talking, the camera shook for a while, and then the bus stopped, and he saw the stars in the bus starting to get off one after another, Andi felt himself stand up, and then bent down to the door, he subconsciously reached it with his hands, of course, he didn't touch anything except air, but according to the estimated height, he should be able to touch the door.
The camera staggered and jumped out of the car, and then suddenly a pair of big hands slapped at Andi, scaring him into a clever one, the owner of the big hands was Speights, Andi felt him hug himself, and his ribs were rattling.
"What is this", Spects pointed at Andi with a big finger, of course, pointing to Aaron Gordon's hood, "money-making stuff", Gordon said unceremoniously, and then began to giggle and brag with Spects.
It is estimated that what the two of them said should involve trade secrets, the picture went black all of a sudden, and then switched to the perspective of another person, Andi felt that he flew back to the bus with a breath, and the voiceover continued, "I'm LaVine from the Timberwolves, and I'm still on my way to the arena."
The Timberwolves are obviously much more active on the bus than the Magic, and it is estimated that the level of activity is directly proportional to the team's record.
Andi felt himself start shaking his head and singing, and after a while, the screen shook again, and from the window, the stadium was close in front of him, but the car was already surrounded by fans who wanted to sign autographs.
Andi swayed off the bus, suddenly a notebook and pen flew next to him, almost hit his eyes, Andi subconsciously dodged, and waved his hand outward for a long time, before suddenly remembering that this was in the office.
With a blushing face, Andi took off his VR glasses, although it was just a test tidbit or an appetizer before the main meal before the show started, but the effect achieved was shocking enough, "Notify all the supervisors above the middle level to come to my office for a meeting", Andi instructed his assistant.
The same story is being played out at the same time in almost all live broadcast companies in China.
Principal Wang threw the valuable HTC VR all-in-one machine to the ground and broke it apart, "Are our technologies all pigs, with such a high salary every month, the live broadcast effect is a lump of X compared to others."
And the CTOs of ZZ Live, Funny Cat Live, and CCTV Live were scolded like dogs, and even the video cloud vendors that provided services for them received countless calls for inquiries and complaints.
"You claim to be the most advanced H265 technology in All-Blue Star, how can the picture compare with others, it's like playing a mosaic, blurry",
"Your technology tells me that you can't do it in three dimensions, let alone think about the panorama, I really believe it."
"As a result, if you look at the effect of others, this is a 360-degree panorama, a 360-degree three-dimensional panorama."
More calls are like, "360-degree stereoscopic panoramic live broadcast, when will you be able to support it?" ”,
"Don't tell me it's difficult, just quote me directly, it's okay to double or triple the price",
"I know you need R&D, there's always a timetable, a timetable."
And in the goose factory, in Andi's office, there was a long period of deathly silence.
The legal representative stood at the table, sweating profusely. 8)
