One Second Remember [Literature Building], providing you with exciting novels to read. Even though it was only a suggestion Zuo You came up with on the spur of the moment, it was actually quite common in the Chinese commentary community, and it was quite a reliable method.
As a pure live streaming platform game streamer, your popularity could only come from the number of viewers and fans in your live streaming room. You had to accumulate it bit by bit, and you had to hope that the live streaming platform would give you a good recommendation spot.
But the recommendation spots on the streaming platform were limited, after all. Even a small recommendation spot was enough to make you happy for a long time.
But if you were both a streamer and a commentator at the same time, that meant you had another way to attract fans, and the recommendation resources you could get would no longer be limited to the streaming platform.
Huya TV was indeed very popular.
On the other hand, there were many LOL video sites that had high traffic as well.
Su Xue used to watch some of the more popular commentator videos on Multiplayer LOL. She knew that the popular commentator videos on Multiplayer LOL could easily break hundreds of thousands or even millions of views. Moreover, there were more recommendation spots on the streaming platform. Getting a small recommendation spot could bring in a sizable number of views.
First of all, you were a game streamer. Your original fans could help you increase the popularity of your stream.
Once the results of your commentary video are out, the new fans you attract will be able to feed back the number of viewers you have in your live streaming channel.
In other words, both sides could promote each other. No matter how you looked at it, it was a win-win situation.
That night, after Zuo You left, Su Xue rested her chin on her hand as she sat at the dining table. The more she thought about it, the more reliable it seemed.
"Lin Feng!"
Su Xue yelled. Lin Feng's head popped out of the door.
"What's up, sis?"
Su Xue waved. "Come here. I need to talk to you."
… …
Lin Feng walked over and sat down. He looked at Su Xue and asked: "What's up?"
Su Xue asked. "Do you think Zuo You's idea of doing a commentator video is reliable?"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Oh, I think it's pretty good. But it'll probably be a bit hard. You'll have to do both, so it'll be even busier."
Su Xue shook her head. "It's fine if I work a little harder. I'm a newcomer in this industry anyway. If I want to make a name for myself, I have to work hard."
She looked at Lin Feng and said, "If we really want to do this, I might need your help."
Su Xue had never done a commentary before, but she knew that for a rookie female commentator, apart from her looks, the most important factor was the quality of the content.
This included two aspects: the quality of the commentary and the quality of the material.
Su Xue had no experience when it came to the quality of commentary. She planned to watch more videos of other popular commentators and learn from them.
As for the quality of the material, it wasn't something that she could achieve with her own efforts.
Nowadays, the local players were very picky about new commentator videos. You're not famous to begin with. If I have the time to watch your videos, why not watch the videos of other famous and popular commentators?
They had some new commentators, and their strength was at the diamond level. They could be considered experts, but even so, the video material produced by such commentators was still a mess.
"Trash commentator. You're not embarrassed to make a video with that level of skill?"
"Gold, right?"
"Tsk tsk, not interesting at all. What's there to watch if it doesn't have four or five kills?"
These kinds of comments made Su Xue's heart skip a beat. If a diamond commentator was labeled as a gold commentator, then wouldn't a platinum commentator like her be labeled as a plastic commentator?
But the quality of the material was very important, so Su Xue could only ask Lin Feng for help.
Facing such a request, Lin Feng didn't even think about it and simply agreed.
"Sure! No problem! "
Su Xue breathed a sigh of relief. Then she thought for a moment and added, "But I can't always take advantage of you. If I make money from this … let's split it fifty-fifty."
Even though the two of them had been living together for a long time and their relationship was incomparably close, Su Xue wasn't willing to use their relationship to make Lin Feng work for free. She already felt a bit bad about letting Lin Feng take over for her during this period of time.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have put in so much effort to cook all sorts of delicious dishes to reward Lin Feng.
This was the only thing she could do right now to make up for it.
Lin Feng didn't care at all. "We'll talk about it later anyway. Sis, you should go research on how to record the material first. I'll play some ranked games as well."
… …
After returning to his room, Lin Feng spent a few hours finishing his homework. Then, without any hesitation, he turned on the computer.
He'd already made a decision when he was watching SSK's group stage match in the finals.
What he needed to do next was to seriously find his strength and improve it.
Training with the other members of the esports club, or helping Su Xue with the livestreams, were all just small-scale activities. It wasn't that Lin Feng didn't care about them, but they weren't of much help when it came to his goal of becoming stronger.
So, he decided to get an account and focus on playing solo.
Moreover, he did not choose to train on Ionia. Instead, he chose to train on the Korean server.
Two days ago, he had already downloaded the Korean server's proxy login device. Then, he went online and bought a Gold Ranked account that he had used to complete the Ranking Tournament. Today was the first time he was going to use that account to start ranking on the Korean server.
Opening the proxy login, Lin Feng entered his password and logged into the Korean server.
As the progress bar on the screen continued to load, Lin Feng took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
The flames of battle intent in his eyes began to burn.
Before seeing the performance of that person from SSK in the finals, he'd been optimistic. He thought that if he worked hard to get back to his old form, he'd be able to catch up to that person.
But now, he knew he was wrong.
Gravely wrong.
Even though that person was already standing at the head of the Four Emperors, he was still constantly becoming stronger. He was improving and improving at a frightening speed.
If he didn't work hard enough, he'd be left further and further behind by that person. He wouldn't be able to catch up.
"Yeah, I have to get stronger! — — "
Muttering to himself, Lin Feng clicked his mouse and started playing his first solo match on the Korean server.
… …
In a small city in the northeast of China, in a slightly messy single room of an apartment.
A man wearing only a pair of shorts and a tank top sat cross-legged in front of a computer screen. He typed a message to a friend on QQ.
"Are you done?"
His friend replied, "Okay."
The man nodded. "Sure. You can come play then."
As he spoke, he lit a cigarette for himself and took a deep puff. Then, he exhaled a few smoke rings into the air, looking very satisfied.
He was a video commentator for League of Legends. His name was "Chief Yellow Appraiser", and his nickname was "Old Yellow."
Although he was just a newcomer who had just entered the industry a few months ago, his popularity was already quite high. Because his skillful and humorous commentary style of telling dirty jokes was very likable, the number of fans accumulated was also quite fast.
Now, one of his videos had a stable view count of around 250,000 on the "Play LOL" video site.
For a newcomer, this kind of result was definitely very good.
However, Old Huang had been a little troubled recently because he had recently encountered a bottleneck in making videos. The number of views had stabilized at around 250,000 and he could not increase it no matter what. Many fans of his videos had given him opinions, saying that although his commentary was funny, the quality of the material was still a little lacking.
This was really a hard wound.
Old Huang's own gaming skills were only around Diamond 5. His material was definitely not good enough. He had asked for help from acquaintances a few times before, but the audience was still not satisfied and felt that it was not exciting enough.
So this time, Old Huang had made up his mind and specifically found an expert from the KO Master Group to help him gather material.
Moreover, he had chosen the Korean server as the location for gathering his materials.
The author has something to say.
