After three days of semi-finals, the last 24 finalists were selected.
According to the original plan, the final would start in a day, but the 24 contestants were informed that the final would be delayed by a week.
Of course, during this period, the organizing committee covered all the expenses of clothing, food, housing and transportation, and provided $500 a day for missing work. Such rich conditions naturally left the contestants speechless and even felt that they had made a profit.
The reason why the organizing committee temporarily postponed the holding time of the finals is not the same as before, because there is not enough time... No, in fact, it is right to use not enough time to describe it, because now the Pokemon global championship has lived.
Speaking of it, there is also the credit of 4WD.
The thing is, in fact, as early as before the start of the game, boss Jia thought about how to maximize the interests of the game. After all, we can't just lose $5 million. No, the landlords don't have surplus food!
But it's not appropriate to broadcast the Pokemon global Championship live. First of all, there are too many people in the preliminary and semi-finals. You don't know the live water. In fact, it's difficult to make the game picture.
Now, unlike the future era of e-sports, it has very skilled game picture live broadcasting technology. In this era, there is no concept of game live broadcasting at all, let alone the picture on GB.
This GB has no data port except an opening for connecting the computer to input some data. You can't even connect the computer, let alone the camera.
In a word, it's hard to live broadcast GB's game picture!
So our boss Jia thought of his team in the 4WD League in China.
At this time, the 4WD League has developed for three years. Although the league is still the original rules, it has become a little different.
First of all, the 4WD League became a tangram... Oh, no, at the end of 1993, the tangram column officially adapted the program from the previous 40 minutes to an hour. At the same time, the program name has become a big windmill more familiar to us in childhood.
The 4WD League has long become a necessary program for the windmill column, or a necessary column for all children's media in the country. Almost all children's programs in the country will buy the copyright of the 4WD League and play it in their own programs.
No way, because of boss Jia's operation, the 4WD car did not flash like a meteor in history, but became quite durable. Even after three years, the heat is still hard enough. It is also one of the children's favorite toys, and Daqian announced that more than 1000 kinds of 4WD car accessories will be sold one after another.
Although the 4WD league competition is still a single player, it has vaguely formed a team.
Because once a child wins the national championship of the 4WD League... Even if it is only a provincial championship, the child is a little star among children, can participate in various activities, and some children will be invited to make movies.
For example, Cao Jun, the second national champion, is a well-known child star, but he has been making a lot of noise recently because he wants to shave his head and play a little monk.
At the same time, some car brands will invite these little stars to speak for them, or simply rename their 4WD to super Mercedes Benz, invincible Audi, charge BMW and so on.
Therefore, if we can win the national championship or the sub station championship, we can not only have rich bonuses, but also have many other benefits.
Therefore, the organization of the team, which seems to appear only in formal large-scale car racing, has already appeared in the 4WD League.
At first, the team was the prototype of some rich parents, but later some commercial organizations realized its future and joined it, making the team professional.
Teams usually help children maintain 4WD vehicles, collect opponent's data, and develop the best equipment configuration in different terrain. Some teams even start to study their own exclusive parts with black technology.
Of course, the team is also responsible for receiving advertisements, endorsements and titles. Anyway, it has a small scale.
Cough, it seems that some people have deviated. Let's get down to business.
The 4WD race is also not suitable for live broadcast. After all, the day after a race passes. How can a column like windmill have so much time to live broadcast the race.
So the TV program is actually a recording and editing version. The organizing committee specially invited some professional editors and directors to edit hundreds of hours of material into 20 minutes to an hour or so, so that in a short hour's content, the essence of the competition can be condensed, so that children can enjoy a good look.
This was the beginning. Later, with the demand of the program market, these editors and directors began to become thieves. They no longer honestly follow the normal logic to edit, but deliberately break out some contradictions, activate, collide, and then climax clips to reverse the timeline and even reverse the characters.
For example, at the beginning of a program, you can see that a former sub race champion despised a novice and said he could abuse each other severely.
As a result, the two sides began to quarrel and collide head-on, and then agreed to a showdown on the battlefield. Finally, they successfully realized the counterattack of the weak, and the novice defeated the champion and became the new king.
But in fact, if you know the truth, you will find that the despised opponent in the mouth of the sub championship champion is actually the last championship, and the other party doesn't ridicule the newcomers at all.
And it was others who collided with the newcomers. These were just put together by clever editing methods, which seemed so bloody.
Although it's not authentic, it's just a replica of deformation, I have to admit that the effect is very good and the ratings are very high.
So this time, boss Jia brought the team directly and asked them to edit the 500 hour video of the preliminary competition and produce a 60 minute documentary of the competition.
You can imagine that such a shameless team, coupled with the scale of 20000 people, can edit what a powerful plot.
Anyway, after the editing of thousands of gold medal teams, a one hour competition documentary full of contradictions, struggles, outbreaks, efforts, luck, revenge, don't deceive young people, poverty, invincible Europeans and other elements and bridge sections was filmed.
Then, taking advantage of the heat, it was broadcast directly on children's TV stations in various countries under Fox TV. The result was naturally irritable. All children, even some adults watching TV with children, were provoked by this documentary. They wished they could watch the follow-up immediately and see the results of the semi-finals.
But boss Jia's gold medal team is not Superman. People also need to rest. They spent 48 hours editing an hour's documentary, which is great, but the semi-finals also lasted two days.
If you let the gold medal team rest and continue to edit the resources of the semi-finals, it will take more than 72 hours. However, according to boss Jia's plan, the final finals will still be broadcast live, so as to produce higher ratings and effects.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the semi-final documentary can be broadcast before the final, the time of the final can only be delayed by one week, which is normal.
Well, it's normal.
