Chapter 173 Postponement
"I just suddenly thought of live streaming."

Tang Yao looked at the surprised Li Xue and explained, "After all, in terms of interactivity, live streaming is more effective. This model can also better raise the profile of the account."

The strong interactivity of live streaming essentially transforms content consumption into a social event in which everyone participates, allowing the audience to move from being passive to being active.

This instant, two-way, entertaining interactive experience is the core competitiveness of live streaming that distinguishes it from recorded videos, and is also the key to its ability to quickly accumulate user stickiness and commercial value.

Live streaming in this world has entered its infancy. There are many live streaming platforms of all sizes, but currently they still mainly rely on PC. The content is mainly talent shows, and user payment rewards are the core profit model.

Because the mobile Internet era has just begun.

And a lot of the credit for this good title goes to FGO.

Because of the success of FGO, in addition to making game manufacturers realize the potential of mobile games, it also made the live broadcast platforms that are not closely related to it realize that since this fourth-generation mobile communication technology can be used to play mobile games, can it also be used for live broadcasts?

The portability of a mobile phone is unmatched by that of a PC.

If every mobile phone could watch live broadcasts...it would be a huge profit.

The mobile Internet era is like this. Every field has the potential to be changed or rise. During this period, the entire Internet industry will be turned upside down. People with a keen sense of smell will get the first chance, and those who are slow-witted but have a lot of money can rely on their financial ability to catch up. But no matter what, the decision-making, operation, and route selection in the process are crucial.

If you take a wrong step, you may never recover and fall into the abyss.

For example, Tang Yao's search engine in her previous life could truly be said to have made all the wrong choices in the mobile internet era...

Although Tang Yao didn't dare to say that her choice was completely right.

But with the help of past life experience, we can still avoid most pitfalls and choose most of the opportunities.

Live streaming is one of the hot spots.

When Tang Yao proposed the suit character Toosaka Rin, she had already thought about the possibility of live streaming.

However, Avalon's main business is not this, and ANF is also working hard to increase its user base. Tang Yao was worried that starting live streaming too early would ruin the current good atmosphere of ANF, so she didn't rush into it.

Now I hear Li Xue mention Toosaka Rin's account.

Only then did I remember this incident.

"Is our ANF suitable for live streaming?"

Li Xue listened to Tang Yao's words and showed a pensive expression: "Most live streaming platforms have already developed to the point where they have to spend a lot of money, right? There are so many competitors..."

"I understand your idea."

Tang Yao nodded.

Although the live broadcast industry here has not yet reached the level of a thousand-broadcast war, there are already quite a few live broadcasts of all sizes.

but……

Tang Yao smiled and said, "Of course we can do it. We can do live broadcasts that are in line with our ANF characteristics, such as 2D live broadcasts... You can think of it as testing the waters. After all, there are multiple sections, or even no sections at all. Just try to start a live broadcast and see the reaction of users on the site. It won't hurt to try it. If it doesn't work out, we can just go back to making videos."

"Too."

Li Xue nodded in agreement, but then another question came to her mind: "Can Tohsaka Rin's face repair system be used in live broadcasts?"

"Um...it's hard to say."

Tang Yao thought for a moment and shook her head. "Our videos are all manually adjusted. A real live broadcast definitely wouldn't be like that, so you'd better ask the technicians for details."

When she made the video of Rin Tousaka, she used Live2D combined with camera face capture.

But she only proposed a route for implementation. How to implement it specifically still depends mainly on technical geeks such as Kang Ming and Cai Quan.

They seemed to have made a tool for this, and the final recorded effect was pretty good.

"Then I'll go ask now."

When Li Xue heard this, she stood up immediately.

……

After half an hour.

Li Xue returned, her brows furrowed slightly. "It's not working. Kang Ming told me that the tool they have now is completely made up. The face capture SDK uses an open source project, and a group of them modified it and forced it in. It's okay for recording videos, but for live streaming, too many things need to be modified. There's no way to make it in a short time. Even a compromise solution is difficult to come up with, at least not before the New Year."

Tang Yao was somewhat helpless: "Then there is nothing we can do."

"But he said they could study it during the Chinese New Year and see if they could make it after the New Year."

Li Xue added: "And they seem very interested."

"So..." Tang Yao thought for a moment, "Then please talk to them and ask if they can make this tool into a client software that ordinary users can use."

Li Xue was slightly startled: "Client software?"

"Well, just tell them and let them try to develop in this direction."

Tang Yao nodded: "By the way, tell them that they don't have to worry about the money after it's done."

Whether it is live broadcast or client software, it can be regarded as an attempt on her part.

If you succeed, you will make a lot of money; if you fail, you won’t lose anything.

Anyway, Tang Yao would never treat them unfairly when it comes to money.

The staff who joined Kangming at the beginning were very proactive.

There is no way to disappoint them.

This is also the best way to motivate later staff members.

"Okay, I'll tell them."

Although Li Xue didn't quite understand Tang Yao's thoughts, after all, she had not witnessed the prosperous era of VTube.

However, she chose to believe Tang Yao's gaze: "The video before the end of the year..."

"Postpone it."

Tang Yao thought for a moment and replied, "There's nothing we can do about live streaming. They need to modify the tools and work on the game, so we won't increase their workload. There's no rush anyway. Once the subsequent tools mature, it will be more convenient to make videos... And didn't Kang Ming say there's hope after the new year?
If it really works after the New Year, I'll do another live broadcast. It's a good way to promote "Dou Pai" through live broadcasting, and I can save the excitement and excitement of the first live broadcast for the second game."

"Okay, then I'll tell Cai Quan."

Li Xue thought about it carefully for a moment and felt that it made sense.

"Ah."

Tang Yao responded, then thought of something and asked, "But there's no rush... Sit down first. It's almost vacation time. How's the year-end bonus going?"

It’s been a hard year.

Avalon only has one game though.

But the turnover has hit new highs, which is witnessed by all the staff.

It would be unreasonable not to give a bonus to those staff members who have almost accompanied Tang Yao to this point during the Chinese New Year.

In fact.

Tang Yao had discussed this matter with Li Xue a long time ago.

Of course, Tang Yao brought this up to divert Li Xue's attention.

After all, who knows if she still remembers how I kept her in suspense yesterday...

"I've calculated it. According to your idea, I've allocated a certain percentage of the profits to be distributed as a bonus pool..."

Li Xue nodded and said, "I should be able to give you the relevant rules and assignment forms later. Since the department is newly established and I'm not very familiar with it, that's why it's been delayed for so long."

She is still very cautious about this matter.

After all, she knew very well that the year-end bonus could not be distributed arbitrarily.

Incentive mechanism is the most important part of enterprise management.

Otherwise there will be more problems later.

What is worrying is not the scarcity of wealth but the inequality of wealth.

However, Avalon is still in a period of rapid development and is far from stable. New people come in every day.

So you have to figure out how to send it, and send it clearly and concisely, which is really troublesome.

Fortunately.

Li Xue seemed to know a little about business management, and helped Li Xue find the clue.

"It doesn't matter, as long as it can be done before the New Year."

Tang Yao shook her head and then asked with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work... By the way, Miss Li, did you give yourself a year-end bonus?"
