Global Monopoly of Technology

——

Mid-October is about to come, and fan audiences from all over the country and even all over the world have already arrived in Shencheng one after another. Many young foreign players are coming to China for the first time.

Thousands of migrants poured into Shencheng, and the economic drive of the area was also very impressive. The business of hotel rooms increased significantly during this time, and then the surrounding food and beverage.

There is a reason for Shen Cheng's leadership to attach importance to such a large-scale event, which is very effective in driving economic consumption, especially in the current economic winter environment. The country is stimulating domestic demand, and home appliances are going to the countryside.

For China, 2008 is the key point for the economy to take off again. It can be said that the beginning of a big change that has not happened in a century.

This is all thanks to the country's foresight. When the financial crisis broke out, China was able to get out of the economic quagmire. In addition to the trillions of water releases, one of the important reasons is to stimulate domestic demand.

And this is a prerequisite, not only the Chinese people like storage, the other key is that the infrastructure construction has kept up. You have money but ca n’t spend it is another embarrassment.

By now, basically every village has a cement road. Every household has electricity. The road can be bought with a car. Electricity is available. Household appliances can be sold. People are gradually getting rich. So what do household appliances go to the countryside? Has a foundation.

...

The foreigners who came to Shencheng a few days in advance took the lead in buying, buying, and eating. For the variety of cuisines in China, the foreigners who arrived for the first time seemed to open the door to the new world.

And the first feeling of consumption here for Europeans and Americans is ... really cheap and affordable, not too cool.

The Chinese people must be very upset, but there is nothing they can do.

After all, they came with dollars. The country needs to earn dollars. After entering China, you have to exchange money. You can exchange more than 6,800 yuan for 1,000 dollars. Most people come to China to prepare a few thousand dollars. The national consumption is tens of thousands of RMB. You can stay in a star-level hotel for a few days without any pressure.

Hua Guo is also happy to see this picture. There is no way. The country has to earn dollars and use the dollars to buy oil, mineral resources and other commodities overseas to meet its own development, and to do business abroad, people only recognize the US dollar, especially oil Those countries that settled their settlements and dared not use the U.S. dollars were slumped on their faces by US imperial aircraft carriers.

...

The preliminary warm-up finally ended with the arrival of the day on October 15, and the opening day of the first WRPO World's Number One Player Contest came.

The main stadium of the game is held in Shencheng, a large-scale building that spans the century, that is, the "80,000 Stadium", but it can only accommodate a maximum of 56,000 seats, but it is also a huge venue.

Luo Sheng originally wanted to arrange the main venue of the first WRPO event in the capital's bird's nest, but because the Olympic Games that have attracted worldwide attention just started, it was impossible to prepare for the event a month or two after the end of the event.

However, the modern metropolis set in Shencheng is not far from it.

The day of October 15 is a working day on Wednesday. The opening ceremony is scheduled to be at 18:00 in the evening. Everyone is off work, and I have time to feel the attention of the event on-site or through online channels.

The WRPO event lasted for four days. The opening ceremony was completed tonight. The match will officially start tomorrow. The 16th and 17th are Thursday and Friday. The group stage, the 18th quarter-finals and the semi-final knockout on Saturday 18th will reach the 19th. The weekend is the finals.

The first two working days are played on the sub-stage, and the last two weekends are played on the main stage. The first WRPO number one player contest has 12 events, including Warcraft 3, Starcraft and CS quarterfinals to the finals. On the main stage.

Other projects can only start the finals on the sub-stage. The influence is not enough, and of course the resources will not be too much tilt. And the sub-stage is much more high-end than the main stage of other e-sports events. After all, this event brand is backed by Blue Star Technology. Large multinational technology group.

In the field of e-sports today, Starcraft, Warcraft, and CS are the representatives, with the highest popularity and influence.

WRPO operation department also depends on commercial benefits.

...

Around 17:20 in the afternoon.

Spectators who have purchased tickets have begun to enter the stadium through the major intersections of the stadium one after another. Many people have come to the opening ceremony to attend the opening ceremony, and many people are running popular European and American rock bands. LinkinPark is here.

A young South Korean successfully passed the ticket verification channel and entered the "80,000 people" stadium, which was also shocked by the big scene in front of him.

Although I am uncomfortable, I still have to admit that the Chinese people are indeed very good at organizing large-scale events. It goes without saying that the Olympic Games a while ago, it is extremely difficult to host other countries in the future.

How can this surpass the force of the 2008 Olympic Games ...

Not to mention, wallets are not allowed.

In fact, during this period of time, the Internet was still tearing down. Domestic media and the majority of netizens sneered at sticks. Net transmission was that the Koreans leaked the Olympic ignition ceremony. Everything was perfect. The ignition ceremony became a big regret.

It is also unknown whether the news is true or false.

At present, the 80,000 people stadium has a occupancy rate of more than 90%, and there are still people who have not arrived. There are already more than 58,000 people here, and people are looking at the crowds.

It is worth mentioning that the number of seats in the 80,000 stadium is 56,000, but e-sports is different from ordinary sports. A lot of seats are also arranged in the stadium. The ticket prices of these A-level seating areas are as high as 1,500 yuan. It has already been sold out and was once fired at 2,000 yuan / zhang by the ox party.

In the middle of the stadium, there are six super-large high-definition giant screens, and an equilateral hexagon is overlooked from directly below the sky.

The main stage is the confrontation stage, including a main stage in the backstage and a number of sub-stages. Each major division has a dedicated sub-stage. The infrastructure is full and everything is available.

In addition, several special vehicles have been driven early outside the stadium. This is where mobile operators set up more mobile signal base stations around them. Without these behind-the-scenes staff, the network here will become crowded. Even got stuck trying to swear, this is not something the tournament side wants to see.

...

At around 17:35, the rock band LinkinPark quietly arrived at the stadium and was backstage.

At about 17:40, a luxury convoy came in, and Wang Qiwei, the leader of the WRPO business department, had already come to meet him. When he saw the young man who had stepped out of the car and was surrounded by several bodyguards, Wang Qiwei could not help but take a small step Hurry up and greeted.

It is simply Luo Sheng, the ultimate BOSS of Bluestar Technology Group, the number one player in the minds of countless e-sports people.

"Mr. Luo ..."

Wang Qiwei ushered in a small broken step, but the other party was a young man one or twenty years younger than him, but he did not dare to neglect.

Don't look at the young boss, but the aura is strong.

After Luo Sheng got out of the car, he looked around aimlessly. This time, Qin Weimu did not follow him to Shencheng. In the past, he traveled, and Qin Weimu must follow suit, but this time it was not a business trip.

"Good job, hard work." Luo Sheng said with a casual look.

"Where, this is what it is supposed to do, its duty." Wang Qiwei quickly answered with a smile: "General Luo, please here."

Luo Sheng nodded and followed Wang Qiwei. Some of the media here also captured Luo Sheng. After seeing the appearance of the hottest techie in the world, he quickly snapped the camera shutter.

Earlier, it was rumored that Luo Sheng would appear, and now it is a real hammer.

I did not expect that the founder would actually show up.

This has also led many people to become more interested in the e-sports industry, and they are curious why Luo Sheng is optimistic about this "small" industry.

...

"General Luo!"

"Good evening Luo!"

"General Luo!"

Under the leadership of Wang Qiwei, Luo Sheng came to the background to watch the work progress and situation of the working team behind the scenes. This time, no one finally came up to take photos and take photos. Last time, many people lost their jobs because of this.

It's vivid.

Most people are the first time to see the legendary big guy up close. The ultimate boss of the company is some people. Some people are excited and some are nervous. Most of the staff here are young people who are engaged in the field of e-sports. It is normal for young people.

But they didn't bother to look directly at Luo Sheng, they were very nervous when they saw the other party's gaze.

Nonsense, try it for you.

This is the same level of existence as the legendary big men such as Gates and Buffett. He earns thousands of dollars a month. The boss of a boss who is a boss is not nervous.

"General Luo, the first WRPO is expected to record an overall operating income of about 2 billion yuan, which will be diluted to the operating expenditure budget. This session will probably lose about 50 million yuan." Wang Qiwei, who was next to Luo Sheng, chatted.

"A total of 2 billion earned?" Luo Sheng was rather surprised, nodded and affirmed: "Good job, I thought that at most 1.8 billion or so, I will lose two or three billion."

As for the first session, it lost 50 million, but Luo Sheng didn't care at all. In order to lay out the plate of the e-sports industry, more than 10 billion soft sister coins have been dropped. Do you care about the small 50 million?

Luo Sheng cares about income. As long as the revenue data is conspicuous, everything is fine. The current loss is to pay for the future market.

"Well, you should be able to stop the loss within five years if you successfully run it. In 2013, WRPO turned a profit and turned a profit, and it was a great success to earn 1 million profits, but the premise is not to squeeze profits by suppressing budgets and expansion." Luo Sheng said He casually said that Wang Qiwei's pressure came up.

Is this a performance goal given by the ultimate boss?

Definitely count!

And the real pressure is not 1 million profits, but the phrase "cannot suppress budgets and expansion." This is too flexible. What is the budget and how much expansion? There are no clear indicators.

Wang Qiwei has to admire the leadership of this boss. It seems that a casual sentence can make you stress and drive you to work hard.

No way, who would make most of the Chinese people like to try to figure out the thoughts of their bosses? If you give a hard indicator, he will try to figure out because he doesn't believe it.

OK, don't you like to figure out? Then I will say a little bit more flexibility, you can figure it out yourself.

Luo Sheng actually said conservatively, and he didn't say a word later, that is, to strive to earn back more than 10 billion yuan in the previous period around 2017, which means that his psychological expectations are at this time in 2017, the group The cost of the company's investment in the e-sports industry does not account for inflation, and the full cost is recovered.

If this is said, I am afraid that Wang Qiwei will be overwhelmed, and he may resign voluntarily, so it is not beautiful.

After watching for a while in the background, Luo Sheng left, and he didn't want to affect the front-line staff here. He actually made a lot of people nervous here, and they might leak out when they were nervous.

During the meeting, Luo Sheng and the North American rock band LinkinPark met in the background, and they simply talked a few words.

Speaking of which, the organizer invited the band to spend about 3.5 million US dollars in appearance fee, which is not cheap, but it is not very expensive and very reasonable.

Luo Sheng spent a few minutes in an office in the background, and Wang Qiwei briefed him on the progress of the work.

Time passed quickly, with only five minutes left before the official opening of the opening ceremony. At this moment, nearly 59,900 people gathered in the 80,000 stadium, where the lights were bright.

At this moment, viewers who failed to come to the site also watched the live broadcast on the TV or streaming video website.

The Blue Star Video website under Blue Star Technology Group has opened a live e-sports channel, but it uses a satellite live broadcast method. Fortunately, the streaming technology is strong, and the parent company provides technical and financial support behind it. You can enjoy the quality of high-definition live streaming live broadcasts.

As for live TV, this is only available abroad, such as South Korean OGN TV.

However, there is no such thing in mainland China, because the country has not been opened so far. These are the sequels brought by the "Blue Polar Beam" Internet cafe incident. In fact, even the Yangshi Sports Channel had previously shown e-sports related programs. .

However, a "blue polarized beam" incident almost killed the domestic e-sports industry, which was just beginning, and was even less accepted by mainstream voices.

Today, a big coffee such as Luo Sheng has come out to support e-sports, and it has finally reversed some situations, but in fact, Luo Sheng's reputation has also been criticized by many parents in this regard, and World of Warcraft has also been criticized by "experts". The rhythm of the media has also been brought to Blue Star Technology.

Because Blizzard Entertainment, the developer of World of Warcraft, is now a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group. However, Luo Sheng never paid attention to these remarks.

After all, he is not a soft coin and cannot be loved by everyone.

The e-sports industry will finally usher in the golden age. Whether it likes it or hates it, it always comes, but it is only a matter of time. Luo Sheng's entry will accelerate the arrival of this golden age.

The opening ceremony did not have so much red tape, there were no various leaders coming to the stage to give speeches or anything, adhering to the parent company's "fast action, breaking the rules" philosophy, the process was as streamlined as possible, allowing more time for the opening ceremony to focus on e-sports itself, The competition itself focuses on the links that players and audiences care about most.

...

At 18:00, the sky had just faded, and the lights in the auditorium area in the stadium were turned off without warning, and the original discussions gradually disappeared.

With the lights just off, the melody of music suddenly fluttered throughout the scene.

The audience and the audience who watched the live broadcast laughed at the opening melody of the music. It was the first WRPO theme song "Ready; One" sung by LinkinPark.

This is the latest single released globally, but it is no stranger to e-sports fans. Today, the number of clicks on the BV video website has exceeded ten million, and the foundation of the e-sports industry can be seen from it. And potential.

At this moment, the scene was still bleak, only the sound of music.

However, this situation did not last long. Only a few seconds later, the six super large screens at the midfield of the stadium quickly appeared.

This is the MV video of the theme song of "Ready; One", which appears in the form of animation. The lead singer linkinPark does not appear in the MV, but another version is included in his latest album. However, this version of the MV video highlights The themes are WRPO, eSports, and star pro players.

It is worth mentioning that the virtual singer of Hatsune Miku has also appeared in a glance inside.

Shortly after the MV picture appeared on the six super-large screens, the main stage was also illuminated by the lights. The LinkinPark band had been preparing on the stage for a long time, but it was only at night that the audience could hardly see it.

As soon as the lights turned on, it instantly shone in the audience.

The style of this single is shown in a **** battle song. LinkinPark, this rock band is a new generation of music pucks. It has no talents but can gamble on the best of the house. It is the unique king of mixed music in this era. Incorporating many elements such as alternative rock, hip-hop rhythms and gorgeous electronic music, it has become the spiritual fortress of the E generation of rock music.

For domestic music fans, LinkinPark also has a very high reputation. There are a large number of fan music fans. Among them, there are many game player groups. Their two songs, "Numb" and "InTheEnd", are probably familiar to domestic players.

Earlier this year, "Qq Speeder" released by Tencent was launched. Players who played this PC game were basically no stranger to the song "Numb".

Even if you don't know who sang the song, as long as the melody comes out, you know where you have heard it.

At this moment, while the LinkinPark band sang the theme song on the main stage, the staff behind the scenes were not idle, and another electronic production team will soon pick up ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but DJ will not show up at The stage is displayed in the form of real-time calculations through the giant screen image as a virtual singer of Hatsune Miku.

Behind the scenes is a motion capture team. One of the women, the "DJ Actor," is wearing a tight-fitting suit with a full face and full of gods, and a disc player.

Her actions are synchronized to Hatsune Miku's model through live transmission, and the virtual singer Hatsune Miku's form is played on the giant screen, facing the global audience.

All of this is escorted by a huge technical team behind it.

All of this may seem like a game competition, but a lot of advanced technology is used behind it, but these technologies will not be directly delivered to individual consumers like the Azure mobile phone, so the subversive life brought by technology is not felt.

The team's task is simple. In the following opening ceremony, professional players of major e-sports clubs will provide background music during the entrance ceremony.

Virtual singer, playing discs online.
