Chapter 542 All-Star Lineup

In April this year, when the BAG team won the League of Legends Spring Season, Sun Ziwei, as the boss, should have personally gone to the e-sports base to express his condolences.

However, an unexpected situation in the group forced him to deal with it urgently, and ultimately he had to ask the team manager to pay out a generous bonus on his behalf.

The business that entangled Sun Ziwei was mainly due to the problems with the animation derivative of the Mythology series mobile games outsourced to Blizzard.

Perhaps it was because the mobile game "Mythology" was in direct competition with Blizzard's "Hearthstone" overseas, or perhaps it was Blizzard's arrogance and prejudice as a major gaming company that led them to be perfunctory in the production of the "MythologyX" animation.

After watching the sample film, Sun Ziwei cursed - this was completely inconsistent with Blizzard's tradition of "making games with feet and animations with heart". It seemed like a group of newly graduated novices were temporarily put together to practice with their real money projects.

After synchronizing with Chen Mo, the latter also got angry. Not only did he stop the final payment, he also directly ordered the two domestic and foreign games "Legend of China" and "Legend of Mythology" that compete with "Hearthstone" to start the spring promotion, all at 3% off, which gave Blizzard a little shock of "socialist price war".

After two months, relying on small profits but quick turnover, Hearthstone was squeezed into a corner of the market and barely managed to survive.

Blizzard's original plan to enter the mobile game field through Hearthstone was also shelved.

A few days ago, Blizzard's president, Kotick, personally called Sun Ziwei and offered to remake the previous animation for free. Sun Ziwei hung up the phone directly after hearing this. Then he synchronized with Chen Mo and decided to look for a game production team in China again. We can't rely on outsiders, so we have to do it ourselves.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mo actually introduced an animation director. Then Sun Ziwei handed the project over to a domestic animation team, providing money and resources. He still remembers the director's name, which is very interesting. It seems to be Jiaozi.
The good news is that the animated spin-off of the Huaxia trilogy is nearing completion.

Some time ago, Sun Ziwei took Chen Mo to the Liudao Wuyu team to watch a sample film. The plot, pictures, and modeling were all excellent, with 2D interspersed with partial 3D special effects and ink painting style, which was truly unique.

After watching it, Chen Mo actually saw some shadows of "Fog Mountain Five Elements" in it. "This script is consistent with history, and the adaptation is also in line with the current era and people's mental state. The special effects are of high quality and can be shown in theaters. Great!"

After saying that, Chen Mo patted Lin Hun on the shoulder and praised him repeatedly, and promised on the spot to support the Liudao Wuyu team to create a big movie belonging to the Chinese Trilogy IP, with full funding.

According to the information we received, Tencent's "Heroes of Super God" and "Honor of Kings" have entered the internal testing stage and are expected to be launched in the public testing stage next month.

The 12-episode first season of the anime "China World" will also be launched at the same time. No membership is required, it's completely free!
Because Chen Mo feels that Bi'an doesn't need the membership fee, but netizens do. As long as the players and users are happy, why worry about having no money?
The revenue model of the other side is that you must give before you take.

One day in late June, Chen Mo heard that Sun Ziwei was going to inspect the e-sports base, so he followed him with great interest.

When he arrived, Chen Mo looked at the e-sports base with a big sign and found that the so-called base was just a slightly larger villa in the suburbs of Beijing.

Under the guidance of the BAG team manager, Chen Mo and his team learned about the basic situation of the base.

The base is managed in a militarized manner and is equipped with a training room and a tactical analysis room;

The living area includes players' dormitories, dining areas and rest areas.

The staffing is also perfect. In addition to five regular players, there are three substitutes.

The coaching team are all graduates of military academies and are familiar with various strategies and tactics. Recently, they have been studying how to apply "The Art of War" to the game, so that when the operating skills are the same, they can play the game with their brains!

In addition, the base is equipped with one psychological counselor, one nutritionist, one health manager, and three logistics staff.

With no worries about funding, scientific training, and these talented young people, it is only natural that they can achieve the current results.

A few minutes later, the coach walked back and forth between the big screen and the whiteboard, analyzing the video of the previous Rank game:
"Everyone, look here, Jian Zihao, you got carried away. Although you rushed forward and replaced two opponents, the subsequent team battle lacked your key output. It seemed like 4 vs. 3, but in fact you were not dominant. Although you managed to make it a tie later, this behavior lacks discipline! After class, do 50 squats."

"Yes, coach!"

“Next, let’s look at the next question.”

Just then, the door of the conference room was pushed open.

The coach frowned, but after seeing who it was, a look of ecstasy suddenly appeared on his face - he had only seen him on the Internet before, but today he finally saw him in person!
The base had received a notice that the boss would come to visit today. Seeing the coach stunned, the mid laner Wu Wu Kai immediately stood up and shouted, "Everyone stand up."

"Hi boss!"

"Uh, I'm not your boss, he is"

“The boss’s boss is the boss!”

"Hmm? I can see that you really want to improve. Do you think everyone is equal?"

"The boss knows me?"

"I've watched your matches a few times. You played well!" Chen Mo said amiably, "I not only know you, but also you - 'I'll level your high ground', 'I'll raise pigs in your jungle', 'Uzbek mad dog', 'Tactical master Ivy'."

The billionaire boss is also watching our game? The faces of the young men who were named turned red because of their suppressed excitement.

"This year's S-League will be held in South Korea, right?" Chen Mo asked. After receiving a positive answer, he continued, "If you can come back from South Korea, I will personally pay for each player to receive 500 million yuan, the coach to receive 1000 million yuan, and other staff members of the base to receive different levels of bonuses. Do you have confidence?"

"Have!"

"Is the food at the base bad? Why do you look so listless?"

"have!!!!!"

"Well, you need this kind of spirit in the competition. Remember, what doesn't kill you will make you stronger! Practice well. This time I'm here to cheer you up and increase your intensity. Since we've called on the Other Shore Team, we must play with the spirit of our Other Shore!"

"Yes!"

With Chen Mo's current rank, just a few words from him could stir up huge waves in the hearts of these young people. They wish they could rank ten right now to vent their anger.

Chen Mo had a meal at the base and chatted with everyone for a while before leaving. The food was not bad.

He came here with his grandson Wei not on a whim.

In his previous life, although Chen Mo seldom played games due to his busy work, he liked watching competitions, especially the League of Legends S League, which he watched every year.

Except for a few years when he could be happy, the rest ended in regret, especially the final at the Bird's Nest in Beijing, where the two opposing teams were actually two Korean teams, which made him feel very disappointed.

So, when Chen Mo heard that Sun Ziwei had the idea of ​​forming a League of Legends team last year, he conveniently asked him to form an all-Chinese team.

"Can't we find 11 people in China who can play football, and can't we find 5 who can play games?"

This time the S game is held in South Korea, Chen Mo is sure that if the South Korean team cannot win, they will definitely cause all kinds of trouble.

Although the other side cannot affect world peace, it is still easy to influence the outcome of a small e-sports competition in a neighboring country.

Furthermore, he and Miss Li of Samsung have always maintained close cooperation and helped each other, and it was nothing more than a matter of words. This could also be regarded as making up for a certain level of regret in the previous life.

CCTV big pants.

After Chen Hongbing successfully secured several key contestants, the station director suddenly had a lever in his hand that seemed to be able to move the earth. He even contacted his old leader, and after many twists and turns, he finally invited these business bigwigs to serve as judges for the show.

After interacting with these economists, the director was curious that leading experts in the economic field such as Wu Jinglian and Li Yining did not react as much to BAT's participation in the competition as Chen Mo did. They even asked several questions related to the other side and seemed to be more concerned about the performance of this young entrepreneur.

After the contestants and judges were finalized, the director waved his hand and the "Win in China 2014" project preparation team established by Chen Hongbing immediately upgraded its equipment. After the recent organization and preparation, it is now a completely different place.

As the project leader, Chen Hongbing himself has received strong praise from the channel director and even the station director, and his status and voice in the station have risen sharply.

At present, the project team has more than 100 people, which is considered a large project team not only in the financial channel but also in the entire CCTV. You should know that the Spring Festival Gala preparation team as a whole has only 300 to 500 people.

The preparation team for "Win in China 2014" is divided into the following teams:

Core planning and directing team (6 people): responsible for overall program planning, competition system design, theme positioning, contestant screening, judges invitation, etc.

Contestant and judge management team (20 people): responsible for the connection between judges and contestants, schedule arrangement, etc.

Program production and technical team (60 people): responsible for program recording, editing, post-production, stage design, lighting and sound, live broadcast technical support, etc.

Publicity and Media Group (12 people): responsible for program promotion, media connection, social media operations, etc.

Logistics and Support Team (8 people): responsible for venue management, equipment rental, props production, security, catering and other logistics support work.

Legal and Compliance Group (4 people): Responsible for program-related legal affairs, contract review, intellectual property protection, etc.

This shows that the station attaches great importance to this program and is willing to invest a lot of manpower and resources.

Finally, at a key meeting between the station director, Qi Zhuquan and Chen Hongbing, considering the actual situation of the contestants and judges as well as the particularities of the Internet industry, the program decided to adopt a recorded broadcast format.

The main reason is that there are too many uncontrollable factors in live broadcasts. If these entrepreneurs reveal business secrets or lose control of their emotions and swear, or even roll up their sleeves and start fighting, it would be a real scandal. And after thinking about it, the three of them realized that this was not impossible.

By recording the show, risks can be effectively avoided, and editing and other means can be used to highlight competition among contestants, decision-making conflicts and key turning points, thereby enhancing the drama and appeal of the show.

In addition, some well-known expert judges can be invited to comment after each episode to increase the professionalism and depth of the program.

After comprehensive consideration, the meeting finally determined the overall structure of the program.

Chen Hongbing took the program outline and spent an hour making a brief PPT, and then called a meeting of relevant personnel from the preparatory group.

Due to the large number of participants, the original conference room was no longer sufficient, so they moved directly to the studio which had no broadcasting tasks at the moment.

Looking at the growth from just a few kittens at the beginning to the present large group of talented people, Chen Hongbing felt a surge of pride in his heart.

He waved the stamped document in his hand, his smile growing wider: "Our program can finally officially set sail!"

The crowd cheered.

"Let me first update you on the specific program structure that has just been determined. Please look at the big screen."

Then, the following is displayed on the screen:

Looking at the names one after another on the screen, the CCTV staff in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in amazement even though they knew the list of contestants and judges in advance.

Such a lineup can be called the All-Stars in the economic field. Not to mention any one of these people, in other local TV programs, no matter what type of building blocks, they are all sponsor dad-level figures. To put it bluntly, it is not difficult for them to influence the direction of the program.

You know, CCTV staff usually think highly of themselves and call themselves elites. After all, to have a position here is a great honor to their family in their hometown.

But compared with the people on the list, it's like an ant seeing the sky. I can only feel awe and respect, and I can't even muster the courage to compare with them.
Seeing the audience so shocked, for some reason, Chen Hongbing had the illusion of bragging at the dinner table, "I have a friend who is so and so awesome."

“Now, we have the absolutely authoritative judges, we have the business tycoons as contestants, and the structure of the program has been finalized.

Next, it’s up to everyone to work together to determine the specific content and rules.

You speak, I record, everyone speaks freely"
