Chapter 1444: Existence Beyond Straight Men
Qifan's first Internet Cafe League is in full swing. Yang Dongxu did not go to Hangzhou but watched the whole process from the Magic City.
The management above is currently turning a blind eye to this competition, not actively promoting it, and not explicitly prohibiting it. In short, everything is being kept secret.
Compared with later games where you can make money by selling tickets, at present, the first Internet Cafe League makes the most money from Internet cafes.
Rising Sun Technology officials have worked hard to prepare for the competition, doing various external promotions, setting up various competition versions, and also opening a separate game bar on the video website for live broadcast of the game, as well as the broadcast of the game video.
All in all, tens of millions of cash have been invested before and after. The new players that have been attracted are still being cultivated and have not yet been harvested, so it is still losing money for the time being.
Internet cafes are different. Even if the Internet cafe provides free access to contestants, it is impossible for everyone who enters the Internet cafe to watch the contest to stand behind the contestants.
What's more, many Internet cafes have single rooms for contestants, so the most common operation when entering an Internet cafe to watch your favorite contestants compete is to turn on a machine.
When the players enter the Internet cafe, they welcome them together. When the players compete, they watch them on the computer. If the players win, they cheer together, and they can also enjoy the free drinks distributed by the Internet cafe owner.
In short, the Internet cafe where the contestants are located is more lively than the official company of Xuri Technology. At the same time, the Internet cafe also attracted a wave of online memberships. During this period, the machines in the Internet cafe were completely full, even on Sundays. Business had not been so hot for a long time.
After watching the game, I went to read the comments under the game video and the 361 Game Post Bar. Basically, the players who performed well have fans online.
Although there is no way to open a personal Weibo homepage or anything like that, online support groups have been cultivated, but it is an Internet celebrity economy that many people are not aware of yet.
In fact, Internet celebrities have already existed, such as some lively avatars on the Internet, some great gods in games, and some celebrities in game areas.
These are actually Internet celebrities, but compared to the Internet celebrity market that has been developed in later generations, these Internet celebrities are still in their infancy, and everyone is ignorant and does not know how to develop this economy.
For example, 361 Video currently broadcasts live and broadcast competitions on the Qifan platform, and players do not receive any royalties. The players themselves do not realize that this thing requires copyright fees.
Everyone feels that since it is an official competition, it would be good for the official to broadcast these videos online, which can also help boost their popularity and let more people see their highlight skills.
Even if some people put videos of themselves training and playing training matches with others on the 361 website, they have hundreds of thousands of views.
I never thought that the playback volume of my video would be so high and it would attract so much traffic to 361 Video. I should ask 361 Video Screen for information on the playback fee. In short, it is simply extremely cute.
"I can imitate very quickly." After reading his own webpage and post bar, Yang Dongxu looked at other portal websites.
Although no other portal website has a movie, TV series or game video column, news videos have been doing so for a long time.
Some competition videos just play for a longer time, and they can be promoted as news with slightly more settings.
After all, the game competitions on the Qifan platform have attracted the attention of more than 3 million domestic players. It is really a loss to follow the traffic.
So basically many portal websites reposted some of the more exciting game videos, and some websites even posted votes for some winning teams, making it as popular as if they were the official website.
"Take it slow, just think that you are promoting me, and we will see how you continue to do it when the live broadcast platform comes out." Yang Dongxu smiled and turned off the computer.
Zhou Ya walked into the study carrying fruit.
"Is there anything important? Why are you still working after you come back?" Zhou Ya put the washed grapes on the table.
"It's okay. Let's take a look at the reports on the Qifan Platform's Internet Cafe League and news, as well as the social response."
Because the main target group of the competition was college students, the competition time was set in the evening. Skipping classes for the competition was obviously reported too negatively.
But occasionally escaping from studying late to play games is a routine practice for college students, which can minimize negative news.
At the same time, the response from netizens is pretty good. After all, this e-sports competition is still quite new now. In addition, more than 90% of the current netizens are actually inspired by games, so the evaluation of this aspect is very positive. Somewhat carrying the banner of anti-gaming.
In fact, it is very innocent and unjust that the game industry is placed at the bottom of the contempt chain in the Internet industry. After all, how many netizens online have never played games?
The number of people who really only use computers for work is estimated to be less than one percent, right?
It can be said that games have helped the Internet expand its territory, and they have made great contributions. Without games, the current number of Internet users would have been cut in half, or even reduced by 80%. It is not an exaggeration at all.
After all, it’s not like later generations who can watch live broadcasts, watch online dramas, and browse Taobao without playing games. Games are one of the main glues for netizens to surf the Internet.
The result was that everyone in the industry was despised. When parents talk about Internet addiction or poor Internet access, it is always the fault of games.
It is said that people born in the 80s and 90s have ruined themselves by playing games, and that all kinds of gifted children have neglected their studies because of playing games. Games are simply the biggest sinners of the country, and all companies that make games should be shot.
But more than a decade later, when people born in the 80s and 90s really began to take on this social responsibility, they also took on the responsibilities they should take on.
It doesn’t feel that people born in the 80s and 90s are two generations that were ruined because of games. The country is still thriving and is about to surpass the United States.
So blaming online games for children’s failure to succeed does have to bear some responsibility, because some children are addicted to games and have neglected their studies.
But if you say that your child’s failure to succeed is all due to online games, the game company is not to blame. Because before there were no online games, not all children became successful.
There are geniuses and ordinary people in this world. It is a bit unreasonable to say that it is the fault of games if your child is not a genius.
Of course, many parents will not look at this issue rationally. Their children did not do well in the exam because they played games before and did not review. This is the fault of the game.
It's the fault of my child staying at home and playing online games. Otherwise, he would definitely go out to meet girls and bring back a daughter-in-law.
It's not the fault of my husband's success in career and online games that he doesn't go out for social events. Otherwise, he would definitely meet many big bosses and become successful.
"I have to fly to Sishan tomorrow, so you have to spend the weekend with the child." Zhou Ya said.
Now in charge of Runyu Fund, she has put all her energy on charity, and she basically doesn't ask about how her company is run.
Even if there are occasions where the boss needs to bring the boss's wife to participate, she will refuse if she can. Her personality is completely similar to her husband Yang Dongxu. It's so good to stay at home when nothing happens. Why go out for social events and be so tired.
"I know, when will you be back?" Yang Dongxu may have a little trouble with a child who is too young to be breastfed, but a child like Xiao Wenchen who is in kindergarten is still easy to manage.
When he plays, he follows from behind, and when he is naughty, it's easy to slap his butt.
"Three days, we need to go to the mountainous area to inspect several villages. It is impossible to build a Hope Primary School in each village, so we need to inspect the terrain and road conditions of several villages and prepare to build a Hope Primary School in the middle of several villages, so that the utilization rate of the school will be higher." Zhou Ya said.
In fact, many rural schools have begun to merge now. This is a trend that cannot be changed as more and more farmers go out to work.
In the past, a family of three or four children went to school, and the surrounding villages wished they had several primary schools to accommodate so many students.
Now there is only one child in a family, and those who have a little bit of conditions follow their parents to go to school in the city. This has caused a sharp decline in the number of students in rural primary schools.
In order to integrate teaching resources, many schools can only merge one primary school. Many people born in the 1980s and 1990s said that their childhood was gone after returning to their hometowns.
In addition to the fact that the countryside has changed a lot and small Western-style buildings have been built, and the roads in many places have changed a lot, the loss of one's own primary school is also an important factor in the loss of childhood. In some places, even the middle schools have been merged into the towns.
If you want to go back and find memories, you can only look for high schools in the city, but many children have never attended high school. So now rural schools have really changed a lot.
Now, as many mountain residents are gradually moving out of the mountains, Hope Primary Schools can no longer be built so densely. Even some of the earlier Hope Primary Schools can be merged according to the situation, so that limited teaching resources can be better utilized.
"Be careful on the road. By the way, don't forget to bring Wu Sheng with you." Yang Dongxu said.
"I know. Do you think Wu Sheng has someone in his heart? She followed me to so many places some time ago. The outstanding girls she met were at least 80 if not 100. How come there is no one she likes?" Zhou Ya was also very troubled by Wu Sheng's lifelong event.
You said that the people around him, whether it was Huang Ying or those friends who came earlier, were all married and had children, and their lives were very complete.
Even Du Fei has two children. Looking around, Wu Sheng is the only bachelor. If you say that you are divorced and completely disappointed in marriage, it is understandable. It is abnormal that you, a young man, have never had a girlfriend.
"Didn't you find out who he likes more? You know this guy is just a blockhead. He has had a cell phone for so long, but there is no phone number stored in it except for a few acquaintances.
With so many free text messages every month, he would be lucky if he could send ten text messages to her sister. Basically, he calls when he has something to do, and then hangs up after he finishes talking. There has never been a call that lasts more than three minutes to chat about family matters and to build relationships."
If there is a standard for straight men, it must be Wu Sheng.
Wu Sheng has even surpassed straight men. After all, straight men just don't know how to adapt. There are still some who fall in love and get married, but Wu Sheng.
