Chapter 946: ICL’s Official Summary List
Zhang Yahui could not help but be overjoyed. “Of course, I can’t ask for more!”
Zhang Yahui had seen Liang Qingfan in the promotional video of Sloth Apartments before. He had a deep impression of this designer who could turn something rotten into something magical.
What’s more, no matter where the location of the snack market was, it had to be renovated to give customers the best dining experience. At that time, a designer like Liang Qingfan would be needed.
Coincidentally, Liang Qingfan had nothing much to do recently. He was also very interested in this snack market.
Both parties. .h.i.t off immediately.
Bao Xu listened to the conversation between the two of them and could not help but think about it.
He had been thinking about how he could escape the fate of traveling.
From the looks of it now, it was no longer useful to keep a low profile. That was because everyone felt that Brother Bao did not have any urgent work to do. He would not be delayed even if he was a traveling companion. Thus, they asked him to accompany them.
Thus, if he found a job, he would be able to openly reject the invitations of those accompanying him in the future. The next second best employee would be too embarra.s.sed to look for him.
However, the work that he had to do could not be too critical or important. Take the gaming department for example. If he worked too high and managed to take credit, he might still be voted as the second best employee.
Thus, this had to be a job that was neither too important nor too unimportant.
Wouldn’t the snack market be perfect?
This was a project that Boss Pei had personally requested. He would help out. Once he found something to do, he would be able to avoid accompanying others. The person in charge of this snack market was Zhang Yahui. Liang Qingfan was in charge of renovations and brand design. No matter how outstanding his work was, he would only be a third-in-command.
No matter how he thought about it, it was impossible for him to be voted as the second best employee.
In short, everything was perfect!
The only problem was whether Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan would accept it.
Bao Xu coughed lightly. “This snack market project sounds very interesting! Can I transfer over to help and be your a.s.sistant?”
Liang Qingfan was elated. “Of course!”
“Oh, right, I forgot to introduce him. This is a veteran employee of Tengda Games. He has made outstanding contributions and is known as’ Traveler Bao Xu ‘.”
Zhang Yahui’s eyes widened immediately. “You’re Bao Xu? Nice to meet you! I might not have seen you before, but your name is well-known!”
“I think you must have eaten a lot of local delicacies and seen a lot of food markets when you traveled around the world, right? If you can partic.i.p.ate in this project, we will definitely be like tigers with wings!”
Zhang Yahui and Liang Qingfan had no objections to Bao Xu joining.
After all, everyone knew that the employees of Tengda Games were top-notch elites. It would not be a problem for them to be the person-in-charge of the other departments. Bao Xu was a veteran. He was like a sweeping monk in the Scripture Holding Depository. He would not dare to underestimate him.
Liang Qingfan was very happy. “How about this? We’ll go to the office of Sloth Apartments and talk about the specific plan of this snack market while drinking tea.”
“We have to think about its location, scale, specific details, and so on.
The three of them left Shenhua View happily and headed to the headquarters of Sloth Apartments. They planned to delve deeper into the various details of the snack market.
…
In the afternoon, at Long Yu Corporation.
Zhao Xuming was checking the ICL league’s schedule in his office.
Today was Monday. There would be no focal battle. Tomorrow was Tuesday, and it would be a day off.
However, there would be a FV team compet.i.tion the day after tomorrow, which was Wednesday. It should be very popular.
Thus, Zhao Xuming waited anxiously.
Bunny Tail Live-Stream’s commentary was so well received that the official commentator’s understanding of the game was rubbed against the ground. Zhao Xuming was not only under pressure from the audience and public opinion, but also under pressure from the live-stream platform.
The official commentators were not as good as the commentators of Bunny Tail’s live-stream. On one hand, it was easy to say that it was not nice and sounded like the official platform was too useless. On the other hand, it would cause viewers from other live-stream platforms to move towards Bunny Tail’s live-stream.
The Vice-Presidents of the other live-stream platforms felt very wronged. We had also spent money to buy the broadcasting rights. In the end, the audience’s viewing experience on our platform was not as good as Bunny Tail’s live-stream. What rights did they have?
Your official commentators did not do well and caused the interests of the live-stream platforms to be damaged. How could that do!
However, this unofficial commentary rights was given to him by Zhao Xuming. Since he had signed the contract, he could not go back on his words, right?
Therefore, the official commentator had to improve their understanding of the game and their ability to interpret the game’s situation as soon as possible due to multiple factors. They had to go to the official commentator’s level to the same level as the Bunny Tail Live-Stream commentator.
Yesterday, Zhao Xuming had already arranged for the production team to contact the various clubs to find suitable seedlings to be commentators. Today, his a.s.sistant had even made a trip to the various clubs with the production team, seizing the opportunity to interview and screen.
Fortunately, the clubs partic.i.p.ating in the ICL league were all in Shanghai. There was no need to travel between cities.
Zhao Xuming looked at the time. It was almost time.
He hoped to confirm the name list of the professional players who would be transferred to the commentator this afternoon. They would undergo emergency training tomorrow and then be sent to work the day after tomorrow to test the waters.
That was because there would be FV Team’s focal battle the day after tomorrow. There would be a lot of attention. If the official commentary for this compet.i.tion was still the same, it might cause the audience to lose even more.
The losses resulting from every night lost were irreversible.
There might be some risks if he was in such a hurry, but after careful consideration, Zhao Xuming felt that the risk should not be huge.
After all, these professional players would be appearing as “guests” at the beginning. With a professional commentator controlling the rhythm and giving them instructions, these professional players only had to honestly answer the questions and explain the game’s match. That would be considered a perfect completion of the task, so the problem should not be big.
Zhao Xuming was just thinking about it when there was a knock on the door. His a.s.sistant had returned.
“Boss Zhao.”
“The list of professional commentators has been confirmed. Please take a look.”
The a.s.sistant handed a doc.u.ment to Zhao Xuming. On it were a few professional players selected from various clubs.
Zhao Xuming flipped through it and found some familiar faces.
The ICL league had already started for such a long time. All the teams had already appeared. Zhao Xuming had gone to the venue to watch a few compet.i.tions and had an impression of many players.
Most of the players here had rather lousy performances.
That was easy to understand. The clubs of the players who performed well had to keep them for the compet.i.tion. How could they send them out to be commentators?
What’s more, if other players could play professionally, they would not give up their careers to be commentators.
How much revenue could a commentator earn if a player could make a name for himself and win the champions.h.i.+p? Anyone who was not stupid would understand this.
He must be a player who did not perform well on the field and felt that his career path was limited to deciding to try out as a commentator. That way he could see if he could find a way out after retiring in advance.
However, these players were still the same as the other professional players.
It was written very clearly on the information sheet. Other than a few contestants whose RANK were slightly embarra.s.sing, the other contestants’ RANK were pretty high.
Zhao Xuming nodded slightly.
Needless to say, these people’s understanding of the game would definitely surpa.s.s those official commentators.
Zhao Xuming looked up and asked, “Have you done the interview? How do you feel?”
The a.s.sistant answered, “They’ve all been interviewed. These are the names that were selected after the interview. We’ve already eliminated those who were not eloquent, those who do not use the standard Mandarin, and those with unclear thoughts.”
“These contestants are basically articulate and have accurate p.r.o.nunciations. Even if they have a slight accent, they would definitely not make the audience feel disgusted.”
“We have done some tests on our understanding of the game, but we don’t know the specific effects.”
“We used the recording of the previous compet.i.tion to a.n.a.lyze it for them. They a.n.a.lyzed it logically but we don’t know how they would compare it to the commentators on Bunny Tail live-stream.”
Zhao Xuming nodded slightly. “Yes, that’s about it.”
The official members of the ICL league, including the director, OB, and commentators, were basically divided into platinum and diamond. However, this understanding of the game was still far from the understanding of the top players in professional teams.
Getting them to test the understanding of professional gamers was like a primary school student setting questions for high school students. They would definitely not be able to test anything.
This was indeed a little difficult for them.
However, Zhao Xuming felt that this should not be a big problem. Since these people were professional players, they should have some tactical knowledge. As long as they could express their understanding of the game smoothly according to the situation of the compet.i.tion, there should be no problem.
They were all professional players. Their understanding of the game could not be much worse than the players of FV Team Two, right?
It did not matter as long as it was not a slap in the face.
After all, you have your own understanding and I have my own. A little disagreement would not completely crush the professional players in the official commentary team.
Zhao Xuming handed the name list back to his a.s.sistant. “Alright, let’s use this name list.”
“There is no compet.i.tion tomorrow. Time is very precious. Divide these commentators into groups with the professional players. Confirm a good partner based on their characteristics and then connect more in terms of tacit understanding.”
“Data a.n.a.lysis team, prepare the relevant data for FV Team’s compet.i.tion the day after tomorrow, and support logistics.”
“Previously, Bunny Tail live-streaming got professional players to commentate on the compet.i.tion. It was also prepared for one or two days and the effect was not bad. There’s no reason why we can’t achieve what they did!”
“We must make a huge splash in FV Team’s compet.i.tion to save the face of the official commentators the day after tomorrow!”
The a.s.sistant nodded. “Yes, Boss Zhao! I’ll arrange it now.”
After sending his a.s.sistant off, Zhao Xuming’s heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled down.
Once the standard of the official commentators improved, no one would use the bunny tail live-stream to trample on the official platform anymore, right?
There shouldn’t be any more problems after this matter was resolved, right?
Zhao Xuming was speechless. He had been caught between various live-stream platforms and Bunny Tail live-streams for no reason. He could not help but sway along with the wind. He had always been blamed or implicated for no reason.
He had tried to clean up someone’s mess but Long Yu Corporation had declined. On the other hand, the popularity of Bunny Tail Live-Stream was increasing. Who could he reason with?
