February 23rd, Thursday …
The E-Sports promotional video that Meng Chang and the advertising and marketing department were in charge of was in the midst of preparation and was about to officially start filming.
Meng Chang sighed once again. His subordinates were really efficient.
Two or three of them came from Fei Huang Workspace. Whether it was filming, finding actors, or filming, they were all familiar with all kinds of work. Meng Chang had originally thought that the preparation would take at least three to five days. However, he realized that with the high efficiency of these people, they could actually shorten it by half.
After all, the employees in the advertising and marketing department guaranteed their work efficiency, which was equivalent to ensuring their own rest time. How could their efficiency not be high?
Among the employees in the advertising and marketing department, Meng Chang especially liked a young man called Gao Ti. He was very young, very smart, and did things efficiently. Meng Chang especially liked this name very much and felt that it had a good meaning.
Gao Ti had also been transferred from Fei Huang Workspace. He was in charge of most of the filming for the promotional video this time.
It had to be said that Boss Pei's subordinates were indeed filled with talents. Meng Chang felt that it was indeed very comfortable to lead such a team. That was because he did not have to worry about not carrying out his orders well. The possibility of obtaining a high commission naturally increased greatly.
Meng Chang was continuing to think about the details of the script for the promotional video when he saw Gao Ti rush back from outside and go straight to his desk.
"Brother Meng, the venue, actors, and props are almost ready. Prepare some details and perfect the script. We should be able to officially start filming in the next two days and finish filming next week."
"However … I have something to report."
"Of course, this is just an immature suggestion of mine. Whether you want to accept it or not is up to you."
Meng Chang was very happy. He was happy because of Gao Ti's high efficiency and also happy because he had received enough respect.
He nodded and did not hide his admiration for Gao Ti. "Yes, go ahead."
Gao Ti said, "Brother Meng, actually, there's a GPL training base in Jingzhou. It's at Ming Yun Villas. It's probably only a few minutes' drive away from us."
"It might be a little remote, but we should be able to get a ready-made scene if we film the interior of the club. What's more, our mission was personally arranged by Boss Pei. The club will definitely cooperate unconditionally. "
"We can save some time if there's a club over there to film."
Previously, Gao Ti had said that he could apply for funding from Boss Pei to go to clubs all over the country to film. However, Meng Chang rejected this suggestion.
That was because Meng Chang knew very well that the promotional video he wanted to film was actually to defame E-Sports. He wanted to film the dormitory conditions of the clubs that were not as good. The clubs also wanted their reputation. How could they let them film it?
Therefore, there was no need to ask for a snub.
Now, Gao Ti gave a new suggestion: to take pictures of the GPL's training base.
In other words, the other clubs were not allowed to film, but the GPL clubs could definitely film as they pleased. That was because this was a job arranged by Boss Pei. All of Tengda's businesses had to cooperate unconditionally!
Meng Chang fell into deep thought. After a moment, he shook his head.
"I don't think there's a need for that. Let's set it up ourselves."
Gao Ti didn't ask much. He just nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll arrange it."
The reason why Meng Chang did not choose to film at the GPL's training base was not because he felt that it was troublesome or for other reasons. The main reason was that he was afraid that it would be too obvious and offend people.
He was going to use GOG's game graphics in this promotional video. If even the training base inside could correspond to the GPL team, wouldn't that be terrible?
It was basically equivalent to making it clear.
Meng Chang did not want to make it so obvious. Instead, it would easily trigger the audience's reverse psychology and have a certain opposite effect.
Thus, it was best to set up his own scenes and secretly mock them. If they really fell out, the scene might be very ugly. The clubs on the GPL side were all quite influential. For example, a large corporation like Shenhua was not something Meng Chang could afford to offend.
Thus, Meng Chang did not accept this suggestion. Instead, he decided to continue setting up his own scenes.
What's more, there were many benefits to setting up his own scenes. For example, he could make the living environment of the players more exaggerated. As long as he did not go overboard and ensure a certain degree of authenticity, some deliberately arranged details could highlight the difficulty of the players' training.
Generally, no one would pursue this kind of trickery. After all, they did not point out a specific club.
On the other hand, these problems would be very difficult to solve if he used a club that existed in reality as a backdrop. Meng Chang would have to bear the consequences if the big financier behind the club was serious.
Gao Ti went to deal with these matters. Meng Chang was happy to be a hands-off boss. He casually searched for recent news online.
"Eh? The ICL league seems to have started its publicity campaign? "
Meng Chang noticed that the 'IOI Champions League' that Long Yu Corporation and Finger Games had jointly prepared seemed to be about to begin. Long Yu Corporation was spending a lot of effort to publicize it.
At the moment, there were already many rumors, including the participating teams of the ICL, the roster of the various teams, the game version of the league, and so on.
Long Yu Corporation was obviously behind this content. Their goal was also very simple. It was to warm up in advance and create a sense of anticipation for the audience.
There would definitely be a lot of publicity before the official start of the competition.
Meng Chang guessed that there would definitely be a promotional video at the start of the ICL league.
"Isn't this a coincidence?"
"ICL's promotional video can help me!"
Meng Chang could easily guess the general nature of ICL's promotional video: It was nothing more than filming the high spirits of the various teams, filming some handsome scenes for the professional players, and simply filming a panoramic view of the competition venue.
All in all, this commercial promotional video would definitely focus on being handsome.
That would be a stark contrast to Meng Chang's promotional video!
When everyone saw that IOI's promotional video was so good, but Tengda's E-Sports promotional video was so disappointing, they would definitely prefer the former!
What's more, Long Yu Corporation would definitely use a lot of resources to publicize it. That would make many viewers focus their attention on the E-Sports field. After Meng Chang's promotional video was released, it would not take much effort to attract the attention of the audience.
Meng Chang's goal was to reverse promote the E-Sports industry. The more popular it was, the better the effect would be. Naturally, his commission would be higher.
Since that was the case, why not?
Of course, the effect of force was mutual. Meng Chang's promotional video was equivalent to pouring cold water on the entire E-Sports industry. It would definitely hurt ICL by accident.
However, Meng Chang did not care.
That was because his promotional video was using GOG's game graphics. It should not affect IOI, right?
The graphics of these two games were quite different. The audience should not be able to see wrongly like a blind person.
What's more, so what if the ICL was AOE? It would not affect his commission at all.
To Meng Chang, as long as he did not offend too many people and make too many enemies for himself, all his goals were for a high commission. He did not care about anything else.
…
At the same time, in the office area of Useful App.
Chen Yufeng, who was in charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, specially made a trip over to discuss cooperation with Yu Pingan.
At the moment, Useful App was still being continuously updated and maintained.
Boss Pei had already said before that Useful App was a long project. Thus, Yu Pingan did not dare to delay at all. He seriously developed more functions, maintained the version of the app, and enriched the professional content on it. He also had to divert a portion of his energy to use technical and legal methods to protect his rights and combat the plagiarism of knowledge on Useful App.
Up until now, Useful App had completed the preliminary content structure with the combined efforts of all the developers and Handong University's professors, lecturers, young scholars, and graduate students. However, it was not famous yet.
Most of the content on this app was related to ancient poetry and literature. Its greatest use was to help AEEIS create an automatic poetry matching function.
Yu Pingan also knew that the content of Useful App was seriously insufficient at the moment, so he did not ask Boss Pei for more publicity funds to carry out publicity.
It was better to focus his energy on finding big names and professionals in various fields to produce knowledge and perfect the entries and explanations on Useful App.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yufeng explained his intentions: he hoped to freeload on Useful App's resources and discuss with the young scholars and lecturers who were currently writing entries on Useful App to get them to open a live-stream for lectures on Bunny Tail Live-Stream.
Of course, Bunny Tail Live-Stream would definitely not let them speak for free. There would be a basic salary.
Yu Pingan was stunned by Chen Yufeng's words.
Other live-stream platforms spent money to sign on some gaming gods and beautiful live-streamers. However, Bunny Tail Live-Stream actually had to spend money to sign on some experts and scholars?
However, on further thought, wasn't this the same idea as Useful App? That was fine.
Yu Pingan thought about it. There was still a certain conflict between Bunny Tail Live-Stream's request and Useful App's.
After all, there were not many outstanding young lecturers and scholars to begin with. They were all very precious resources. They still had to teach and do research usually. Their spare time was limited. They could only choose between organizing information for Useful App or going to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to teach.
Unless it was a few talented liver emperors.
This involved a problem of resource allocation. If Yu Pingan generously agreed to Chen Yufeng's request, these young lecturers and scholars would all go to Bunny Tail Live-Stream to get money. Wouldn't it be a scam if Useful App's work was affected?
Tengda's various departments helped each other unconditionally, but the premise was that it did not affect the work of the department.
Yu Pingan thought for a moment and said, "How about this? I'll call Boss Pei and ask for instructions."
"Let Boss Pei decide how to distribute it."
