March 30th, Saturday …
In the afternoon, Zhang Yan started a live-stream two hours earlier than usual on Saturdays because there was a competition today!
Bunny Tail Live-Stream had been preparing for this competition for a long time. What's more, Zhang Yan had already passed the initial audition.
This week was an online competition. The winner would be able to obtain a spot in the offline competition. At that time, professional coaches would teach them how to drive real racing cars and try their best to convert their skills in the simulator to driving real cars.
The one who converted faster and better would be the winner of the amateur team!
As for the final winner, it would definitely belong to the professional team. After all, no matter how talented the amateur players were, they would not be able to scam the professional players.
Only by changing from an amateur player to a professional player, and then steadily improving himself step by step, would there be any hope.
Zhang Yan's goal was very simple: to enter the offline competition!
When she went all out in the offline competition, the results would not matter. The most important thing was to participate.
The key was to obtain the qualification to touch the real car.
After all, her skills were trained on the simulator. No matter how the simulator simulated it, it was still very different from a real racing car.
No one dared to guarantee how far they would be able to go in the real arena. He could only say that he just had to do his best.
Before the competition started, Zhang Yan started warming up.
Occasionally, there would be bullet screen comments asking in the live-stream, "F * ck, the streamer is so persevering! I saw you running this map last month. Why are you still running now! Aren't you tired of running? Change to something else to broadcast! "
In the beginning, Zhang Yan had indeed relied on the popularity of the game 'Safe and Civilized Driving' to increase her popularity.
At that time, she had taken the driver's license test, driven a big truck, and attracted many fans.
However, ever since she started practicing racing, her fans began to slowly disappear.
There was no other way. Practicing racing was too boring!
Many maps would take an entire day. In order to pursue a few tenths of a second of improvement, one mistake would often cause all their previous efforts to be wasted. What's more, driving a racing car was not as relaxing as driving a big truck for a long distance. She did not have the energy to chat with the audience at all. Thus, the more she practiced, the fewer people there were in the live-stream.
There was no lack of mockery here.
"The streamer isn't live-streaming properly. She's just messing around. What's the point of a female streamer running the track every day? Isn't her popularity decreasing? "
"You can continue. Sooner or later, you'll get yourself killed! Tianhu's opening was completely destroyed by you! "
"That's right. You obviously don't have the talent, so why do you insist on it? Isn't it better to realize that you're more suited to be a comedian?"
Similar comments were common on the bullet screen.
However, Zhang Yan remained unmoved and continued to practice.
Finally, the Safe and Civilized Driving Competition that Zhang Yan had been waiting for!
Almost all the live-streamers on Bunny Tail Live-Stream had participated in this competition. Many live-streamers from other platforms and some passerby godly players in the game had also participated.
The results were shocking. Many well-known anchors did not even pass the audition!
These streamers usually did all kinds of live broadcasts and boasted about how good their driving skills were. In the end, when it came to the official competition, all of them were full of problems and were exposed.
It was just like how some GOG live-streamers usually played in the fishpond for the sake of the show's effect. On the surface, they looked like they were still showing off and had skills, but at the end of the day, they were just frying fish.
Once they reached a high-end game or competition and encountered opponents who were much stronger than usual, their skills would immediately stop working. It was as if they had changed into a different person and frequently made forced mistakes.
When it came to a time where they had to compete in terms of strength, they would only know who was swimming naked when the tide receded.
Zhang Yan, on the other hand, was different. All her skills were trained. Naturally, she was not afraid of such a real test.
The number of people in Zhang Yan's live-stream continued to rise as the audition ended.
Players were surprised to find that Zhang Yan's hard work in practicing was really effective. She was fundamentally different from other live-streamers!
The audience who had left previously came back one after another.
They had left previously because they could not see the effect of the program, nor could they see Zhang Yan's unique content that was different from other live-streamers. After all, practicing driving skills was too boring. Most people did not have the patience to continue watching.
However, it was different now. To be able to obtain a good ranking in the competition and to be able to defeat other opponents with true strength was something that was filled with the effect of the show.
Since the effect of the show was back, and it was better than before, what reason did the audience have not to continue watching?
Many fans of other live-streamers also swarmed into Zhang Yan's live-stream. This was because those live-streamers had been eliminated, and Zhang Yan could continue to enter the online competition to compete with more powerful opponents.
As for the fans who had been supporting Zhang Ye, they felt as if the clouds had parted to see the moon.
They had always unconditionally supported Zhang Yan's decision. When they saw the number of people in Zhang Yan's live-stream decreasing and the popularity decreasing, they were as anxious as Zhang Yan. In fact, they were even more anxious than Zhang Yan.
Now that the popularity had returned, they naturally felt a sense of relief. "I didn't choose the wrong person."
After running two laps steadily, Zhang Yan entered the official competition room and began to prepare.
To her, this opportunity was very important. This was because Zhang Yan had a racing dream for a long time. However, the cost of racing was too high for Zhang Yan to bear.
However, the situation was different this time. As long as she could obtain a ranking in the online competition, the officials would bear all the expenses and hire a very professional coach for her.
This also meant that Zhang Yan could use this opportunity to transform into a professional racer at no cost!
If she could obtain an outstanding ranking, it would prove her talent and perseverance. The resistance from her family would probably decrease a lot, right?
…
Soon, the competition officially began.
A large number of viewers swarmed into Bunny Tail Live-Stream. They discussed enthusiastically as they waited for the competition to begin.
"Hello, everyone in the live-stream. Welcome to the online competition of safe and civilized driving! Today's online competition will be a little different from the qualifiers. That's because our live-stream platform will use a new live-stream method this time … "
The two official commentators of the GPL were here to host the safe and civilized driving competition.
On this point, Bunny Tail Live-Stream had an overwhelming advantage over other platforms. That was because Bunny Tail Live-Stream had a large number of outstanding commentary resources. Not only were these commentators clear and humorous, but they also had a deeper understanding of the game. The audience also recognized them.
It was very reasonable to arrange for them to commentate for today's safe and civilized driving competition.
They were all from Tengda. It was normal for them to make a guest appearance!
Many viewers were curious on the bullet screen comments.
"It will be a little different from the competition during the qualifiers. How exactly is it different?"
"I remember that the director did a good job during the qualifiers. The camera switched between many popular contestants smoothly and naturally. No one felt any discomfort at all. Could it be that live-stream technology can be improved at this point? "
"It should be very difficult. Didn't they use GPL's professional director during the qualifiers?"
"Or could it be that there's a new function to watch the competition this time?"
Soon, the host revealed the answer: On the basis of the live-stream function of Safe and Civilized Driving, they had developed a special function for competitions!
These functions could be roughly divided into the following points.
First, players could freely enter the official competition room in Safe and Civilized Driving and see the first-person perspective of any contestant. They could also look at the director's perspective or God's perspective.
From the first-person perspective of the contestants, players could see some very detailed data, such as gear, engine revolutions, and the depth and strength of the accelerator pedal and accelerator pedal.
These data were very important for the audience to have a deeper understanding of the basic strength and skill level of the current contestants.
Second, players could also synchronize their steering wheel with the contestants. That way, they could more intuitively see some of the contestants' operating patterns and details.
Of course, just like the live-stream mode, the steering wheel could not be touched in this state. Touching it would automatically exit.
This was to prevent danger.
This function was actually a derivative of the live-stream function. However, there was still a difference between what the live-stream host did and what the contestants did during the competition.
Apart from that, there was a new improvement compared to the original version of the live-stream function. This time, players no longer needed to install the game Safe and Civilized Driving. Instead, they could directly connect the live-stream signal of Bunny Tail Live-Stream to their steering wheel!
After all, the amount of signal data of the steering wheel movement was not huge. There was no need to rely on the content of the game itself. As long as the live-stream platform transmitted the data to the player's computer and then to the steering wheel, it would be fine.
Even players who did not have a steering wheel could open a small window and see the steering wheel and pedals of these contestants through the simulation screen.
Of course, compared to the full experience in the game, the webpage function was equivalent to a castrated version. There were many problems.
For example, they could only choose between the few perspectives provided by the official platform and could not choose all the contestants. What's more, they might not be able to be particularly accurate in terms of data transmission. There were still subtle differences.
However, this was a rather novel viewing experience for players who did not have a safe and civilized driving game on their computers.
Third, players could generate video files during the competition. They could watch them repeatedly and study the skills of some contestants in cornering or specific routes and learn them repeatedly.
Other than that, there were other details. For example, Bunny Tail Live-Stream's multi-window stacking mode.
The main window in the live-stream of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was, of course, the real-time competition image of the game. However, on this basis, viewers could also open some small windows to view other content. They could stack these small windows or place them anywhere on the main screen.
For example, players could place the camera of the contestants they were interested in in at the lower right corner, or place the current scoreboard ranking or some data details on the screen.
Compared to the situation where other live-stream platforms did not change during the competition, this mode of being able to choose the information they liked and move it to the live-stream as a small window gave viewers a new choice.
The competition officially began. The commentator also began to commentate passionately. The audience watched the exciting competition while exploring the new functions of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. The live-stream's popularity continued to rise!
