Chapter 37 Building Momentum
The seventh floor of the Royal Television headquarters building is the exclusive floor of the game channel, and the head of the building, Tirio? Sitting in his office chair and watching the cone clock hanging on the wall tick towards 12 o'clock, Sardinger actually had a feeling that the trial was imminent.
Is it meat or soup...... It's up to you
To put it bluntly, Sardinger had never done anything so risky in his life, doing a feature for a newcomer who had just debuted, and spending a fortune β a feature that didn't even get an interview with the newcomer himself
But he still felt that the risk was worth taking.
Sattinger took a deep breath.
Now that the time has come, the results should be out.
He stood up, walked slowly to the door of the room, thought for a moment, returned to the front of the mirror, carefully arranged his tie, and then walked to the control room with a calm face.
There was silence in the control room - it can't be called quiet, some muffled keystrokes on the keyboard and the crisp clicking sound of the mouse kept thinking, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was very dull. Sardinger couldn't help but feel a sinking in his heart.
But he walked in very calmly.
The employee who saw him come in just hurriedly said hello to him, and immediately turned around and went about his own business.
Sardinger's Adam's apple rolled, and he asked an employee somewhat casually, "How are the ratings now?" β
The employee's expression was a little dazed, and he didn't hear Sardinger's words, but looked at the big screen.
Sardinger's heart sank.
"What's the rating?" Sardinger raised his voice.
The employee he asked was suddenly startled, and only then did he react, and said to Sardinger with some excitement: "Boss, since the live broadcast of King Nuo Tianwang more than twenty years ago, we have never gotten such high ratings. 13β¦β¦ It's crazy. β
Sardinger subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, and then a feeling of dizziness rushed to the top of his head...... Percent...... Percent...... A baker's dozen?
That rating means that 13 out of 100 people watching TV are now watching the feature, but there are thousands of TV channels in the world, 13 percent, which is almost the only viewership that can only be obtained by exclusive live broadcasts of major news
But why is everyone not too excited?
Sardinger was puzzled.
The employee saw Sardinger's confusion and muttered, "The show is so exciting, everyone is watching it...... HEAD, THIS POSEIDON...... It's amazing. β
Sardinger has been busy planning and allocating resources, and he hasn't seen a freshly baked topic, which is a matter of the technical department, and he didn't have time to report to him and submit it, it was broadcast directly, Sardinger's heart moved, and he stayed in the signal control room to watch the live broadcast with the staff here.
THE WHOLE TOPIC IS ARRANGED ACCORDING TO THE NEEDS OF ONE SHORT INTERVIEW AFTER ANOTHER, AND THE MASTER Hua Dan will explain it, similar to the situation of a one-man TALKSHOW. Mia was originally the host of "Gamer TALKSHOW", so she was familiar with this job.
Mia's crisp voice flowed through the track:
"Welcome to the Game Channel special, I'm Mia." Mia said with a smile: "Today is a very special day, and the game festival has a special meaning for us game fans, so every year the game festival arranges a special lunch session to discuss the major events in the game industry during the year." But I assure you that today's program is very good. I think everyone must have watched the trailer just now, when I was an editor before, everyone was laughing at the editor, saying that cutting the trailer like this, and suddenly cutting it off at a critical moment would make the audience crazy, I don't know if everyone felt curious after watching that short film - it doesn't matter, the full interview will be shown to you one by one later. Let's take a look at this footage, this is the fans of the game parade in Santa Fe, who think that the Nebula Awards organizing committee has cheated and adulterated this award, but is this really the case? β
Then there were interviews with several people, including his new agent, Wagner.
"YOU MAY ASK IF POSEIDON'S PROWESS IS ELIGIBLE FOR A NOMINATION FOR THE NEBULA AWARD, AND INTERESTINGLY, WELL-KNOWN PRO GAMERS HAVE GIVEN A CLEAR ANSWER TO THIS-"
"ABOUT THE ORIGIN OF POSEIDON, THIS IS REALLY A MYSTERY, WE CAN'T FIND POSEIDON HIMSELF, AND HIS AGENT HAS MADE IT CLEAR THAT POSEIDON HIMSELF WILL NOT BE INTERVIEWED. But according to the rumorsβ"
"YOU MAY NOT KNOW THE WAY, ALTHOUGH POSEIDON HAS BEEN DEBUTING FOR A SHORT TIME, BUT HE HAS HIS OWN MORTAL ENEMY, AND THIS PERSON IS NO STRANGER TO EVERYONE-",
β¦β¦
Yang Hai kept seeing the show end. To be honest, this episode of the show is quite exciting, although many of his things that can be regarded as ** have been reported. But it's smart that these things are said in interviews with other people, and they have nothing to do with them.
Yang Hai didn't care too much, indeed, the game world is such a place, and the eyes of the whole world are focused on it, so there are no secrets for public figures. AS SOON AS THIS SHOW WAS BROADCAST, YANG HAI'S ONLY SECRET THAT WAS NOT EXPOSED WAS HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH NUOTIANWANG, AND FROM THE CURRENT INFORMATION, THEY COULD ONLY SAY THAT NUOTIANWANG WAS VERY OPTIMISTIC ABOUT POSEIDON, BUT NO ONE GUESSED THAT POSEIDON WAS NUOTIANWANG'S APPRENTICE. In fact, there are not many people in the whole world until the fact that King Nuo Tianwang accepted an apprentice.
Yang Hai himself is relatively calm, but game fans can't calm down.
This episode of the show has created super high ratings, and it has also left countless topics, especially in the interviews, and each professional gamer has a very unique answer.
TONY's game fans are probably the most depressed at this time, although Yang Hai and TONY have not met yet, TONY's evaluation of Yang Hai is very high. THE REPORTER FOUND TONY IN NIGHTINGALE LANE AND INQUIRED ABOUT THE NOMINATION FOR THE GOLD BADGE AWARD:
"TONY, THIS YEAR'S NOMINEES HAVE COME OUT, AND YOU HAVE BEEN SQUEEZED OUT OF THE LIST BY A NEWCOMER NAMED POSEIDON, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS AFFAIR?"
TONY, WITH HER LONG CHESTNUT HAIR AND BEARD, HAS A SLEEK FACE, IS THIN, AND WEARS A WHITE LINEN ROBE, LOOKING A LITTLE WEAK. HIS HEALTH HAS NOT BEEN VERY GOOD, PULMONARY DYSFUNCTION SYNDROME HAS TORMENTED HIM FOR NEARLY TEN YEARS, HIS ORIGINALLY STRONG BODY IS GETTING WEAKER AND WEAKER, COUPLED WITH THE ASCETIC LIFE - NO MEAT, NO ALCOHOL, VERY LITTLE SLEEP, UNKEMPT, TONY HAS BECOME WHAT HE IS NOW.
BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW HE LOOKS, TONY HAS A GREAT HEART, WHICH IS ENOUGH TO SUSTAIN HIM THROUGH GAME AFTER GAME.
At the TONY level, physical condition is no longer a condition that restricts strength. NO ONE CAN SURVIVE TONY'S HANDS UNTIL TONY'S BODY COLLAPSES, AND MANY PROFESSIONAL GAMERS WHO PLAY AGAINST TONY FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT PLAYING A GAME WITH PEOPLE, BUT WITH GOD - BECAUSE TONY'S EYES HAVE THE ABILITY TO SEE THROUGH PEOPLE'S HEARTS. Under such pressure, there is no possibility of delaying time, either fighting against the odds or directly admitting defeat.
"God" was drawing geometric figures on the paper, and when he heard the reporter's question, he put down his pen and pondered for a while.
I WATCHED ABOUT POSEIDO FOR A MOMENT OF SILENCE, TONY SAID, THE THIN FACE AND FAIRY EYE SOCKETS DID NOT CHANGE IN THE SLIGHTEST, TONY'S VOICE WAS A LITTLE HOARSE, BUT IT GAVE PEOPLE A STRANGE SENSE OF NEUTRALITY: "OF COURSE, IT IS UNFAIR TO JUDGE A PLAYER'S STRENGTH BASED ON O ALONE. In general, I have no opinion on this list of nominees, and the judgment of the Nebula Award Organizing Committee should be relatively fair. β
The reporter asked very strangely: "But you were squeezed out of the nomination because of POSEIDON?" β
BUT IT WASN'T POSEIDON WHO SQUEEZED ME OUT OF THE RANKINGS, BUT SHOOK HIS HEAD: "SOMEONE TOLD ME ABOUT THE SITUATION OF THE ORGANIZING COMMITTEE AT THAT TIME, AND AFTER LOOKING AT THE O OF SEVERAL CANDIDATES, TWO PEOPLE PASSED THE FIRST ROUND OF VOTING, GODLIKE AND VTI, AND ONE PERSON PASSED THE SECOND ROUND OF VOTING: POSEIDON." The third round of voting was my competition with VIVA, and unfortunately I lost to VIVA. β
The reporter was stunned, this was a scoop, and then he immediately asked, "What about you?" WHAT DO YOU THINK OF POSEIDON? β
"WELL, THE FIRST TIME I KNEW ABOUT POSEIDON WAS ...... Early September. TONY RECALLED: "THERE'S NO NEED TO SAY MUCH ABOUT THIS MATTER, BUT POSEIDON IS LISTED AS S+ IN THE KLOTO PARTY FILE, WHICH I THINK IS VERY REVEALING." β
"What is it?" The reporter asked excitedly.
"Young man." TONY SMILED, "IT SEEMS THAT I CAN'T SATISFY YOUR CURIOSITY ANYMORE." β
SEEING THAT TONY DIDN'T WANT TO TALK MORE, THE REPORTER HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO GIVE UP.
IN ADDITION TO TONY'S INTERVIEW, THE INTERVIEW WITH ICELORD ALSO MADE PEOPLE HAVE A LOT OF OPINIONS.
"I KNOW THAT POSEIDON IS INDEED VERY STRONG." ICELORDE SAID EXPRESSIONLESSLY, "BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING. There was a game on the 19th, and it would be known by then."
Mia carefully explained the backstory of the Y match to the audience, and until then, fans from all over the world had not taken this ordinary league to heart, except for fans of Berlin, Germany. Now, there are only four rounds left in the Lyon Cup, but the situation is still unclear who will win this year, and this year's is particularly special because the other clubs have withdrawn from the title race early, while the three clubs in the first groupββγ Savage and SK, have been pestering, biting very, very tightly from the beginning of the season, and it is still unclear now. Therefore, people's attention is basically focused on the last four rounds, SK at home, Savage at home against SK, and away at YPE. The last match was generally considered uninteresting, as no one thought YPE would win, especially since they used their foreign quota against TC, which was even less promising. An explosive VIVA, an explosive K, or even an explosive Sato can make GODLIKE lose the game in embarrassment, but Prince William is not the type of professional player who creates miracles, and Prince William's outburst may be exciting, but there is still a distance between it and miracles. ,
So, there are two games that determine the championship, the one against SK and the one against the savages against SK, and people's attention is attracted to these two games, but this feature makes all the difference. All of a sudden, the YPE in Berlin, Germany, even overshadowed the limelight of the three championship clubs and received a lot of attention.
THE-FOR-TAT CONFRONTATION BETWEEN POSEIDON AND ICELORD AT THE PLUG-IN DESIGN PARTY WAS ALSO EXPLODED BY THE BIG-MOUTHED YUAN BRIGHTNESS, AND YUAN BRIGHTNESS SAID THIS:
"The atmosphere was weird β you know, they're all professional gamers, who will serve whom? Even the Nuo Heavenly King did not let the opponent reach the point where he did not dare to resist. ICELORD AND POSEIDON BOTH SAID SOMETHING OBSCURE, OF COURSE THEY COULDN'T FIND EACH OTHER UNHAPPY IN PERSON, POSEIDON WAS VERY YOUNG, BUT VERY MATURE, NOT AS IMPULSIVE AS K, HIS PERSONALITY WAS MUCH OLDER THAN HIS AGE. But they should all understand what they mean to each other, and everything will be known on the 19th. β
THE REPORTER SLANDERED, AND SURE ENOUGH, IT WAS A BIG MOUTH, TALKING ABOUT POSEIDON, AND OFFENDED K AGAIN. Everyone knows that Lu Dao K is a violent temper, but if you say it, that's another matter, and the reporter asked Yuan Mingming: "What was the attitude of the other professional players present at the time?" β
"Ha Lu Ha." Yuan Mingliang smiled: "This is interesting. VIVA, UNCLE LIN, PRINCE WILLIAM, VIVA THEY ALL SUPPORT POSEIDON, OTHERS THINK ICELORD HAS A BETTER CHANCE OF WINNING, OH GODLIKE BOSS IS OPTIMISTIC ABOUT POSEIDON, I DON'T KNOW WHAT LU DAO IS FOR? β
"What do you think?" The reporter asked Yuan Mingming.
Yuan Mingliang let out his signature perverted laugh.
"OF COURSE IT'S TO SUPPORT MY DEAR POSEIDON BROTHER"
Yang Hai almost didn't vomit out the overnight meal in front of listening to Yuan Mingming's tone on TV, what's the matter with this guy? WHO'S HIS POSEIDON BROTHER?
He remembered that Yuan Mingming's attitude towards him was very friendly that day, and he knew that Dao Yuan Mingliang's Laozi Yuan Feng was an old friend of King Nuotian, but the relationship between the two of them was not good enough to be called brothers, right?
THE REPORTER KEPT ASKING WHAT THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POSEIDON AND HIM WAS LIKE A CAT THAT SMELLED FISH, AND WHAT WAS THE ORIGIN OF POSEIDON, BUT YUAN MINGLIANG KEPT MAKING PERVERTED HEYS AND HEY, HURTING THE REPORTER IN A ROUNDABOUT WAY, BUT HE JUST REFUSED TO SAY.
VIVA's interview was the highlight. VIVA HAS ALWAYS BEEN A VERY UNIQUE PERSON, AND HE NEVER ACCEPTED MEDIA INTERVIEWS A FEW YEARS AGO. This time, when the reporter blocked the captain, he saw VIVA and immediately realized that this was very, very big news.
OF COURSE, THE REPORTERS INTERVIEWED VIVA WITH ANTICIPATION, AND AT FIRST VIVA WAS TOO TROUBLESOME TO IGNORE THE REPORTERS, BUT TIGER PULLED VIVA ASIDE AND REMINDED VIVA.
"IF YOU WANT TO HELP POSEIDON WIN THIS YEAR'S AWARDS, YOU HAVE TO MAKE BIGGER NEWS." TIGER SAID TO VIVA, STARING INTO THE LONE WOLF'S EYES: "MY GUT TELLS ME THAT ALTHOUGH POSEIDON HAS RECEIVED SO MANY NOMINATIONS, NONE OF THEM HAVE MUCH EXPECTATION. YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE INTERVIEWED, BUT THINK ABOUT POSEIDON, YOU DON'T WANT HIM TO GO HOME EMPTY-HANDED AND BECOME THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THIS YEAR'S NEBULA AWARDS, RIGHT? β
VIVA WAS SILENT FOR A MOMENT, AND QUICKLY GAVE IN: "OKAY, DO YOU WANT ME TO TALK NONSENSE WITH THEM?" β
"Why are you talking nonsense?" TIGER WAS STUNNED.
"You say it's ...... make bigger news," VIVA didn't know how to communicate with TIGER.
TIGER PULLED DOWN A FEW BLACK LINES ON HIS FOREHEAD AND SAID, "YOU WERE INTERVIEWED BY REPORTERS, THIS IS THE BIGGEST NEWS OF THE YEAR, LET'S GO." β
VIVAοΌββ¦β¦β
Later, VIVA and TIGER were interviewed together.
It can be seen that VIVA has been accustomed to the silence of a person and the loneliness of a person for many years, and he feels very unaccustomed to being exposed to the flash all of a sudden, the horizontal flesh on his face has been twitching, and the already fierce face has become even more fierce, so frightened that a little girl who was doing field work next to him trembled a little, and stood on tiptoe every time she walked past VIVA.
So this interview is particularly interesting.
"MR. VIVA." The reporter also felt the smell of rejection emanating from VIVA's body, and he didn't know what VIVA was still interviewing for, so he mustered up the courage to ask this question: "Why did you accept our interview?" β
VIVA LOOKED AT THE REPORTER WITH AN IDIOTIC LOOK, AND HE DIDN'T KNOW FOR A MOMENT WHAT TO SAY, "YOU CALLED ME AND I CAME"? If such a thing is said, VIVA is not VIVA. So he didn't speak, and looked at the reporter with cold eyes.
THE REPORTER ALSO REALIZED THAT HE HAD ASKED A STUPID QUESTION, AND QUICKLY REMEDIED: "I'M SORRY, MR. VIVA, YOU MAY HAVE MISUNDERSTOOD ME, I MEAN THAT YOU HAVE BEEN IGNORING THE MEDIA...... What is ...... today?"
VIVA WAS DYING, AND HE TOOK OUT TIGER'S WORDS: "I WAS INTERVIEWED TO MAKE A BIG STORY. β,
The reporter was immediately excited: "Do you have any exclusive insider information to say?" β
"VIVA was interviewed, and this is the biggest news of the year. β
The reporter's face suddenly changed from ruddy to pale and then to iron blue, and he was silent for a while, and then did not take the initiative to ask VIVA any more questions. Because of the need to maintain the flow of the topic, the entire interview process was not cut, of course, perhaps on purpose. Although VIVA's words embarrassed the reporter a little, they amused almost the entire world, and Yang Hai was also very happy, he didn't expect this guy to have such artistic cells.
The later episode is not so much an interview with VIVA and TIGER, but rather an interview hosted by TIGER, where the reporter asks TIGER questions, and then TIGER asks VIVA's opinion, and only then can VIVA not remain silent. As for the journalist...... I guess I didn't have the idea of talking to VIVA for a while.
IN THIS INTERVIEW, PEOPLE LEARNED A LOT OF DETAILS ABOUT THE STORMY IEC BATTLE BETWEEN TIGER AND POSEIDON, AND TIGER ADMITTED THAT THE RUMOR THAT POSEIDON'S PLANNING ABILITY WAS A MESS WAS JUST LUCK.
An astonishing fact was also learned.
Judging from the reporter's reaction, you can see how amazing this fact is-
"WHAT, YOU'RE FRIENDS WITH POSEIDON?" The reporter looked at VIVA in amazement: "How is it possible?" β
VIVA LICKED HER LIPS, CONSIDERING WHETHER SHE SHOULD STEAM OR FRY THE REPORTER.
THE REPORTER COULDN'T STAND VIVA'S DANGEROUS EYES AND ENDED THE INTERVIEW IN EMBARRASSMENT.
OF COURSE, VIVA STILL DIDN'T PLAY ANY IMPORTANT ROLE IN PUBLIC OPINION AFTER THE END, AND HE WAS OBVIOUSLY VERY UNCOMFORTABLE WITH SUCH AN INTERVIEW, BUT TIGER SPOKE.
"I don't have much say in the other awards." TIGER TOLD REPORTERS: "BUT WHAT DO I THINK IS THE BEST IEC...... THE NEBULA AWARD REFERENDUM, SOMETIMES PEOPLE TEND TO VOTE OF NO CONFIDENCE IN NEWCOMERS, BUT AS FAR AS MY PERSONAL THOUGHTS ARE CONCERNED, I THINK THAT POSEIDON WILL BECOME MORE POWERFUL THAN ME IN TIME HE IS NOW AS STRONG AS ME. In the duel with him, I burned almost all the enthusiasm of my life, but the final result was a regrettable draw, and if I were to judge the strength alone, I think POSEIDON was fully qualified to win the IEC of the year. He doesn't have much time to prove his greatness, but I'd be very sorry if this year's best IEC wasn't him. β
Of course, VIVA doesn't say a word.
THE REPORTER TALKED ABOUT THE CONTRADICTION BETWEEN POSEIDON AND THE GODFATHER WHITE OWL, AND VIVA, WHO HAD BEEN SILENT, SPOKE.
AT THE TIME, THE REPORTER WAS ASKING TIGER IF HE WAS WORRIED ABOUT POSEIDON.
"Worried?" VIVA LOOKED AT THE REPORTER: "DON'T WORRY, EVERYONE IS ASKING WHAT QUALIFICATIONS POSEIDON HAS TO WIN THESE NOMINATIONS, BUT THESE PEOPLE HAVE NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT KIND OF STRENGTH POSEIDON HAS REACHED TO BE ABLE TO GET THESE NOMINATIONS." THE MOST RIDICULOUS THING IS THIS, THESE PEOPLE THINK THAT WHAT THEY CAN'T DO CAN'T BE DONE BY OTHERS, BUT IN FACT THEY DON'T KNOW HOW POWERFUL THE POSEIDON IS. VIVA LOOKED AT THE REPORTER PROUDLY: "LOOKING AT A GREAT PROFESSIONAL GAMER WITH SUCH A MEDIOCRE EYE, WHAT CAN YOU GUESS THE OUTCOME IS".
