Chapter 908 - Bunny Tail Live-Stream and Useful App

February 23rd, Thursday…

Meng Chang and the advertisement department were in charge of the E-Sports promotional video. They were in the midst of intense preparations and were about to officially start filming.

Meng Chang sighed again. The efficiency of his subordinates was really high.

Two or three of them came from Fei Huang Workspace. Be it filming, finding actors, or filming, they were familiar with all sorts of work. Meng Chang originally thought that he would have to prepare for three to five days at the beginning, but he realized that it could be reduced by half under the efficiency of these people.

The employees of the marketing and advertising department would ensure their own rest time by increasing their productivity after all. How could they not be efficient?

Meng Chang especially liked a young man named Gao Ti[1.’Gao Ti literally means ‘tall and raise’] among the employees in the advertising and marketing department. He was very young, smart, and efficient. Meng Chang especially liked his name and felt that it had a good symbolic meaning.

Gao Ti had also been transferred from Fei Huang Workspace. He had been preparing for most of the filming of the promotional video.

He had to admit that Boss Pei had a lot of talents under him. Meng Chang felt that it was indeed very comfortable to lead such a team because he did not have to worry about not carrying out his orders well. The chances of him getting a high commission naturally increased greatly.

Meng Chang was still thinking about the script details of the promotional video when he saw Gao Ti rush back from outside and walk straight to his desk.

“Brother Meng, the venue, actors, and props have been more or less arranged. Prepare some details and improve the script. We should be able to officially start filming in two days and finish filming next week.”

“However… I have something to report.”

“Of course, this is just an immature suggestion of mine. It’s up to you whether you want to accept it or not.”

Meng Chang was very happy. He was happy not only because of the high efficiency but also because he had received enough respect.

He nodded, not bothering to hide his admiration for Gao Ti. “Yes, tell me.”

Gao Ti said, “Brother Meng, there’s actually a GPL training base in Jingzhou. It’s at Ming Yun Villas. It’s only dozens of minutes’ drive from us.”

“It might be a little remote, but we should be able to get a ready-made scene if we give the club a shot. What’s more, our mission was personally arranged by Boss Pei. The club would definitely cooperate unconditionally.”

“We can save some time if we shoot at the scene of the club.”

Gao Ti had previously said that he could ask Boss Pei for funding to film at clubs all over the country. However, Meng Chang rejected this suggestion.

That was because Meng Chang knew very well that the promotional video he was going to film was actually going to defame E-Sports. He wanted to film the accommodation conditions of the relatively bad clubs. The clubs also wanted faces. How could he let them film it?

Thus, there was no need to seek a rebuff.

Now, Gao Ti gave a new suggestion: film the GPL training base.

In other words, he was implying that the other clubs may not allow them to film, but the GPL clubs could definitely allow them to film as they pleased. That was because this was a job arranged by Boss Pei. All of Tengda’s businesses had to cooperate unconditionally!

Meng Chang fell into deep thought. After a moment, he shook his head.

“I don’t think there’s a need for that. Let’s set it up ourselves.”

Gao Ti did not ask much and just nodded. “Alright, I’ll arrange it now.”

The reason why Meng Chang did not choose to film at the GPL training base was not because he found it troublesome or other reasons. He was mainly afraid that it would be too obvious and offend people easily.

His publicity video was meant to use GOG’s game graphics. If the training base could match the GPL team, what would happen?

It was basically a clear indication.

Meng Chang did not want to make it so obvious. Instead, it would stimulate the audience’s reverse psychology and have a certain negative effect.

Therefore, it was best for him to set up the scene and secretly mock it. The scene might be very ugly if they really fell out. The clubs in GPL were all quite influential. For example, a large corporation like Shenhua was not something Meng Chang could afford to offend.

Therefore, Meng Chang did not take this suggestion and decided to continue setting up the scenes himself.

What’s more, there were many benefits to setting up his own set. For example, he could make the living environment of the players more exaggerated. As long as he did not go overboard and ensure a certain degree of authenticity, the details that he deliberately arranged would emphasize the hardships of the players’ training.

Normally, no one would pursue such petty tricks. After all, they did not name which club it was.

On the other hand, these problems would be very difficult to solve if they were to use a club that existed in reality. Meng Chang would have to bear the consequences if the big sponsor behind the club were to compete seriously.

Gao Ti had gone to deal with these matters. Meng Chang was also happy to be an overseer. He casually searched for recent news on the Internet.

“Eh? The ICL league seems to have started its publicity campaign?”

Meng Chang noticed that Long Yu Corporation and Finger Games seemed to be preparing for the IOI Champions League. Long Yu Corporation was spending a lot of effort to promote it.

At the moment, there were already many rumors, including ICL’s participating teams, the list of teams, the game version of the league, and so on.

It was obvious that Long Yu Corporation was behind all of this. Their goal was very simple. They wanted to warm up in advance and create a sense of anticipation for the audience.

There would definitely be a lot of publicity before the official start of the competition.

Meng Chang guessed that there would definitely be a promotional video for the ICL league.

“Isn’t this a coincidence?”

“ICL’s promotional video can help me out!”

Meng Chang could easily guess the rough nature of the ICL promotional video. It was nothing more than taking a picture of each team’s high-spirited appearance, filming some cool scenes for the professional players, and simply taking a panoramic view of the competition venue.

All in all, this type of commercial publicity video would definitely focus on being cool.

That would be a stark contrast to Meng Chang’s promotional video!

At that time, everyone would see that IOI’s promotional video was so good, but Tengda’s E-Sports promotional video was so disappointing. They would definitely like the former!

Moreover, Long Yu Corporation would definitely use a lot of resources to publicize it. This made many viewers focus their attention on the E-Sports field. Once Meng Chang unleashed his publicity video, he would be able to catch the attention of the audience without much effort.

Meng Chang’s goal was to advertise the E-Sports industry in reverse. The more popular it was, the better the effect. Naturally, his commission would be higher.

Since that was the case, why not?

Of course, the effect of force was mutual. Meng Chang’s publicity video was equivalent to pouring cold water on the entire e-sports industry. It would definitely hurt ICL.

However, Meng Chang didn’t mind.

That was because his publicity video was using GOG’s game graphics. It should not affect IOI, right?

The graphics of these two games were quite different. The audience should not be so blind as to make a mistake.

What’s more, so what if he managed to AOE ICL? It would not affect his commission at all.

Meng Chang did not care about anything else other than high commission as long as he did not offend too many people and make too many enemies for himself.

…

At the same time, in the “Useful App” office area.

Chen Yufeng, who was in charge of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, specially made a trip over to discuss the cooperation with Yu Pingan.

At the moment, the Useful App was still being updated and maintained.

Previously, Boss Pei had already said that making the application was a long and arduous task. Thus, Yu Pingan did not dare to be negligent. He seriously developed more functions, maintained the version of the application, and enriched the professional content on it. He also had to divert a portion of his energy to use technical methods and legal methods to maintain their rights to prevent him from copying the knowledge on the application.

Until now, the application had completed the preliminary content structure with the combined efforts of all the developers and the professors, lecturers, young scholars, and graduate students of Handong University. It was just that it was not famous.

Most of the content on this application was related to ancient poetry and ancient literature. It’s greatest use was to help AEEIS create an automatic poetry function.

Yu Pingan also knew that there was a severe shortage of content with the application, so he did ask Boss Pei for more money to publicize.

He still focused his attention on finding big names and professionals in various fields to produce knowledge and perfect the terms and explanations on the useful application.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Chen Yufeng explained his purpose for: He wanted to take advantage of the resources at the Useful App to discuss with the young scholars and lecturers if they would give live-stream lectures on Bunny Tail live-stream.

Of course, he would not let them do it for free. They would have a basic salary.

Chen Yufeng’s words stunned Yu Pingan.

Other live-stream platforms would spend money to sign on some gaming gods and beautiful female streamers. Bunny Tail Live-stream actually spent money to sign on some expert scholars?

However, on further thought, wasn’t this the same idea as the Useful App? That was fine.

Yu Pingan thought about it. The request from Bunny Tail Live-Stream had a certain conflict with the application.

There were not many outstanding young lecturers and scholars after all. These were very precious resources. They had to teach and do research. Their spare time was limited. They could only choose one out of two.

Unless it was a few talented liver emperors.

This involved a problem of resource allocation. If Yu Pingan graciously agreed to Chen Yufeng’s request, it would cause all these young lecturers and scholars to go to Bunny Tail live-stream to collect money. Wouldn’t it backfire if the work on Useful App backfired?

Tengda’s various departments were indeed helping each other unconditionally, but the prerequisite was that they could not affect the work of their respective departments.

Yu Pingan considered for a moment and said, “How about this? I’ll give Boss Pei a call to ask for instructions.”

“Let Boss Pei decide on how to allocate the resources.”
