Chapter 1001: Opening Ceremony
"Ah, aren't we too miserable then?" Duan Xuan, who was originally full of interest, suddenly became a little excited.
"No, it's also a global live broadcast, and audiences around the world can see our faces, which is not a loss!" Sa Beining comforted that when other TV stations around the world broadcast, they would not broadcast the host or commentary, but would all replace them with their own hosts and commentators, and there was almost no chance for them to show their faces in the world.
However, this time, because various TV stations don't pay much attention to it, it is estimated that English-speaking countries will not change their own hosts to cover the commentary of the two of them.
The two of them entered the live broadcast hall of the WCG game as they spoke.
"This competition is quite formal!" This time, the WCG competition was naturally held in the largest provincial gymnasium in Tay Giang Province...... Anyway, this provincial gymnasium has been basically contracted to Daqian, and half of the activities in a year are Daqian.
However, I heard that Boss Jia is very dissatisfied with the provincial gymnasium, disgusted that this gymnasium is broken and small, I heard that Daqian has planned to build a piece of land near Shengmi Town, build a Daqian Gymnasium, and Boss Jia also gave this gymnasium a very strange name, called the Bird's Nest, because it is said that the final design of this gymnasium is similar to a bird's nest.
And Duan Xuan and Sa Beining had already sat in the studio early and began to prepare for the final live broadcast, although these two people knew that this was not very important work, but for the two newcomers, it was also the first global live broadcast in their lives, and they had to make a good start at least.
"Two hosts, this is our list of sponsors and the entry of the oral broadcast, we must remember to give these sponsors a unified oral broadcast before the start of the competition, and then in the middle of the competition, we will also broadcast the oral broadcast."
"By the way, each sponsor also has a different number of oral broadcasts, which are marked at the back of the list, and you must strictly follow these times to advertise oral broadcasts, not once more or less once!" Daqian, who was in charge of coordinating with the CCTV team, handed over a list to Duan Xuan and Sa Beiningdao.
"Howler!" The two of them originally muttered in their hearts, how many sponsorships can there be for a game that only sells $400,000 in advertising in the world.
But when they saw this list, they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Although the number of sponsors is not large, Pepsi, Nvidia graphics cards, IBM computers, 51 search, KFC fast food, etc., not to mention internationally renowned companies.
It's strange, didn't the station only get $200,000 in advertising fees, how could there be so many sponsors?
These sponsors can't just pay that little money.
In fact, Duan Xuan and Sa Beining have misunderstood the difference between sponsorship and TV advertising.
Sponsorship of this thing is the sponsorship of the WCG game itself, the money is collected by Daqian, and then the advertisements of these companies will be displayed in various advertising spaces of the competition, as well as the players' uniforms and so on, and the various broadcast stations are not allowed to erase the advertisements of these sponsors.
As for the advertising fee charged by the TV station, it is the cost of inserting advertisements in the middle of the live TV broadcast, which are two different fees.
Daqian has gained recognition from many brands through the operation of the previous Pokemon Global Championship, so this time WCG has also won the sponsorship of some international brands.
But TV commercials are different, because WCG is the first global live broadcast, and Daqian has not invested too many resources in publicity, so only players know that there is a WCG competition, and you expect some advertisers to advertise in the live broadcast, which is obviously a difficult thing to do.
Although Duan Xuan and Sa Beining couldn't understand what was going on, they could only honestly broadcast the names of these sponsors according to Daqian's requirements.
As the host of CCTV, Duan Xuan and Sa Beining's professionalism is beyond doubt, so as soon as they got the list of sponsors, they immediately began to memorize it in their hearts, and when they memorized all the names of sponsors, there was a sudden sound of fireworks in the sky, and WCG finally officially kicked off.
——————————
Although the first WCG didn't get many TV commercials, and no one knew what the prospects of this competition were, Boss Jia would never let his game be so shabby, after all, when WCG was promoting, even titles like the e-sports Olympics were crowned on his head.
So it has to look like the Olympics, and you have to have an opening performance.
But Boss Jia, who was a loyal LPl audience in later generations, has watched LPL and S series for several years, and he fully knows that on a stage like e-sports, it seems very embarrassing to do any show.
What Boss Jia can't stand the most is the embarrassing dances or embarrassing performances before the start of the LPL spring or summer finals, really, how embarrassing it is, although it can be seen that a lot of thought has been put into it, but the quality of the show is really bad.
So of course Boss Jia would not make the same mistake, so when the WCG officially started, the stage of the stadium was dark at first, and then when the light came back on, I saw a symphony sitting in the center of the stage.
"Well, dear audience and friends, welcome to WCG's opening music show "Showdown"!"
As Sa Beining's words fell, the symphony stage on the stage began to play their first note, and a piece of music burning with the passion of battle instantly sounded in the ears of all the audience watching the live broadcast.
Hearing this music, almost all Pokemon players stood up at this moment and looked excitedly at the picture on the TV.
"This is the classic game soundtrack "Arena Song" from the game Pokemon Red & Green, and the moment all Pokemon stand in the arena, the music starts with it!" Although Sa Beining has never played Pokemon, this commentary sounds emotionless, but all the audience is crazy.
Because they are the most familiar with this music, as the host said in the commentary, whenever the duel starts, this music will be accompanied by the passion of all the audience.
In fact, if they usually hear this music, they will never be so excited, but the key is that this time the music is not played by a very simple GB, but a complete symphony orchestra, and it is also played by the Chinese National Symphony Orchestra.
The whole music is full of layers of various instrument textures, and I don't know how to describe this feeling specifically, anyway, in the ears of the player, the good ones are almost about to fly, this is a new version of the ship that all players have never heard of.
What's more, I never thought that game music, which is somewhat humble and humble, and has never entered the music industry, could one day have an entire symphony orchestra in charge of playing, and it still sounds so beautiful and perfect, it seems that compared with the symphonies of Mozart and Beethoven, there will not be much difference.
