Chapter 274 What a coincidence, everyone is shooting a promotional video?
"Continue playing the game?"

Han Wenqing frowned as he listened to Zhang Xinjie's report, realizing that things were not simple.

Although the overall style of Tyranny is straightforward, it is a club from Shandong Province after all. It is impossible to say that they are completely ignorant of the ways of the world.

Therefore, ever since Han Wenqing officially made up his mind to fully switch to Tencent's e-sports projects, the entire Tyranny Club has been ready to completely draw a line with Honor.

Even in the most optimistic scenario, Han Wenqing and others will not be able to play games until the end of this year, when Song Qiying and others lead the team to promotion to the LPL, and they will not look back.

At a time when everyone is vying to show their loyalty, if Tyranny is still flirting with Glory, wouldn't that be tactless?

Fence-sitters are not respected by anyone.

For example, the next door Samsara directly announced the shift of the entire club's business focus as soon as CSGO was released, which can be said to be very decisive.

However, just when Han Wenqing was ready to maintain his competitive form during this six-month window of opportunity through extremely intense training.

The management sent a message saying that Tenghai had no objection and even vaguely hoped that they could continue to play in the Glory Professional League?
Isn't this just pure aid to the enemy?

Han Wenqing frowned and thought for a long time, but still found it unbelievable.

Although Tencent’s past style of making e-sports games does require a gap of several months between the announcement of the game and the formation of the league,

But isn’t it a bit too outrageous to let the players play against their opponents during the off-season?
Given that the current competitive relationship between Honor and Tenghai is almost a zero-sum game, could Tenghai do this?
"Is the management sure there is no misunderstanding?"

Zhang Xinjie, who had just reported the news to Han Wenqing, shook his head: "It's basically impossible."

When Zhang Xinjie first heard the management say this, his reaction was similar to Han Wenqing's, both of them subconsciously questioned it.

But after a careful investigation, Zhang Xinjie had to believe that Tenghai seemed to really want them to continue playing in Honor.

During this period, the publicity efforts of Tencent Hai’s social media and platforms for the reopening of the Honor League were no weaker than those for the S8 finals.

Various advertisements are inserted almost everywhere, and many video bloggers and anchors have received promotion.

Even in some promotional posters, Tenghai put the Honor Professional League on the same level as its own LPL.

How should I put it? It seems that Teng Hai is more optimistic about the future of Honor than these players who have experienced Honor personally.

Even someone as smart as Zhang Xinjie couldn't quite understand what Teng Hai was thinking.

After all, in his opinion, although the new version of Honor has various problems, it has indeed gotten rid of its past half-dead status quo and its operation is not bad.

If they were really allowed to take advantage of the current boom in e-sports with their overwhelming publicity campaign, wouldn't Teng Hai be creating a powerful enemy for itself?
It's impossible that Tenghai is really broad-minded and allows the Honor Professional League to continue to flourish?
Zhang Xinjie had no choice but to report everything to Han Wenqing.

Hearing that even Zhang Xinjie didn't quite understand it, Han Wenqing felt a little overwhelmed for a moment.

Why does Boss Pei like to play by his own rules?

Next, should we play the Glory Professional League games or not?

Han Wenqing was a little embarrassed for a moment.

After all, this decision concerns whether his future career can have a decent ending, so he cannot afford to be careless.

Seeing Han Wenqing's embarrassment, Zhang Xinjie thought for a moment and suggested, "Speaking of which, Glory is planning to shoot a promotional video for the new season."

"Each team needs to send one to three representatives to participate."

"Promotional video?" Han Wenqing was stunned. "Are they planning to copy the gameplay of LPL?"

Zhang Xinjie nodded slightly.

That’s why people say Tencent is good at commercial marketing. In terms of promotional methods alone, Honor is far behind.

Honor is still relying on various press conferences and media reports for publicity, and its promotional methods are not as mature as the endorsements taken by the players.

As for the LPL next door, they take various promotional photos every three days and a big one every month, and they are often those kind of middle school yet domineering standing posters with blurred faces.

Combined with the already outstanding looks of these contestants, any photo of them can be used as a wallpaper by fans every day.

As for promotional videos, they are shot even more frequently.

Even an ordinary regular season game can create some hype by filming some trash talk before the game.

During the opening match, Blue Rain’s joke of “We promise not to use Huang Shaotian first in the trash talk session” is still talked about today.

As for the concept promotional video before the start of the season, it was even more domineering and vigorous, with a full sense of story and epic.

Now, after finally winning the resurrection match in the Glory League, it seems that they want to do something similar in order to attract attention.

Han Wenqing was a little embarrassed.

He has watched all the promotional videos of LPL and MSI, as well as the trash talk before the game.

Promotional videos are good, but for the sake of program effects, contestants are often required to recite some awesome and extremely childish lines and make some exaggerated poses.

For a middle-aged man like Han Wenqing, who is almost 30 years old and often says "see you on the court" during interviews, it is somewhat difficult to accept.

But when he thought about playing in LPL in the future, this kind of link would be impossible to avoid, and Han Wenqing seemed to be less resistant.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between early social death and late social death.

Isn't it just some chuunibyou remarks?
"I see. Let's go then."

……

So the next day, at the door of a photo studio in Shanghai.

"No, do all the teams have to get together to shoot? What a waste of time!" Fang Rui complained, squinting his eyes in the glaring sunlight.

“If we shoot together, it will be easier to coordinate and produce better results.” Among the Tyranny group that had just arrived, Zhang Xinjie was still trying to make up for the Honor officials.

But in his heart he sighed: "So the official Honor app is just copying others."

Just from the small matter of shooting a promotional video, we can see the gap between the Honor Professional League and other professional leagues such as the LPL.

Before the start of the spring season, many viewers and clubs were still asking why the games had to be played in Shanghai's home stadium instead of being dispersed across cities like Honor did with home and away games.

Now it seems that the answer is very clear.

LPL integrates all teams into one city, so if you want to make some big collective moves in the region, it is easy to organize.

But if Honor wants to copycat, it has to start from scratch and gather all the players in the same city.

Not only is it troublesome and inefficient, but the airfare alone is enough to make some small clubs with weak financial strength worry.

Fang Rui sighed: "Well, if the club hadn't forced us to do it, we would have let Xiao Zhao and Liu Hao take over."

He glanced at Tang Hao who was in a daze and reached out to touch his waist: "Old Tang, is that right?"

Tang Hao was thinking about the details of the flipping technique in his mind when he suddenly felt a pain in his waist. He came to his senses and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Lao Fang is right!"

"This kid has gone completely crazy after this test." Fang Rui sighed.

On the Howling side, Tang Hao and Fang Rui had no interest in shooting this damn promotional video.

Fang Rui was not to be mentioned. The World of Warships team led by him and Zhu Xiaoping had already made a name for themselves in China, and even beat several veteran teams in several unofficial small-scale competitions. They were gearing up for the Neptune Cup, so they naturally didn't want to waste time on shooting promotional videos.

As for Tang Hao, his eyes have been red these days, eagerly waiting for the official launch of Eternal Tribulation: Bladepoint.

Although he was not able to survive to the end in the first internal test because of Zhao Yuzhe and Liu Hao's dragging down his team.

But since he developed such a highly entertaining flipping style, he naturally became the most handsome guy on the court.

In the next two games, not only him, but a large number of fire men appeared in the entire Ju Ku Continent.

With red eyes, they searched the map for available swords, and even a white one was carried on their bodies like a treasure.

Then, whenever you encounter an enemy, you will be angry enough to use the ultimate move, without even going through the process of "failed negotiation, take out Bai Tai", and just use the ultimate move to punch the enemy.

Tang Hao himself was naturally the one most seriously poisoned by the Fire Man virus. The test had ended for several days, and he was still recalling many of the details of that time.

His mind was full of thoughts about when he could jump to Ju Kuzhou again, so naturally he had no interest in shooting a promotional video for Glory.

What is glory? Please call me Tang Hao, the greatest swordsman of all time!
The two eldest brothers in charge didn't want to come, but Zhao Yuzhe, who wanted to be in the spotlight, really wanted to join in the fun.

However, his isolation of Tang Hao during the Eternal Tribulation beta test was really too extreme.

So much so that the staff at Tenghai who were unaware of the truth specifically called the Howling Club to ask them if there was any problem.

After Tang Hao successfully stole the limelight in the internal test, Liu Hao's last bit of doubt disappeared.

After returning to the club, Liu Hao took the initiative to expose Zhao Yuzhe's little thoughts to the management before being visited by the management.

It was so big that Zhao Yuzhe formed a clique within the team to target seniors and was tested as an actor;
Even small things like Zhao Yuzhe usually used his smurf account to curse Tang Hao and Fang Rui in the Glory discussion community were completely shaken up.

Of course, Liu Hao himself must have been a newcomer with no backing, so he was a weak, pitiful and helpless little jerk who was forced to succumb to Zhao Yuzhe's cruel oppression.

After this revelation, the management's last bit of hope for this former best rookie disappeared.

To the extent that they would rather force Fang Rui and Tang Hao, who had not touched Glory for a long time, to shoot a promotional video than give Zhao Yuzhe a chance to turn things around.

While they were complaining, Zhang Xinjie, who had sharp eyes, suddenly waved to the distance: "This way!"

As the only club with its headquarters in Shanghai that does not require a long journey, the uncles from Samsara were the last to arrive.

Fang Rui looked up and became interested: "Why are you so late?"

"If it weren't so close and we had nothing to do, we wouldn't have planned to come." Jiang Botao continued.

Because CSGO was launched earlier than Naraka, the members of Samsara have already been busy.

Study tactics, go to the prop shop, practice shooting, and play level points...

After Honor was shut down, a long-awaited new and vibrant atmosphere appeared.

If it weren't for the fact that except for a certain big anchor, the popularity and traffic of other players in the Samsara Club have indeed declined a lot,
And this time the shooting location is close enough, so Samsara may not be willing to join in the fun.

Fang Rui nodded in agreement, and then looked behind Zhou Zekai at Sun Xiang, who was distracted by the song. "Hey, why is Brother Xiang here to represent Samsara? Shouldn't he represent Yueyun?"

"What are we doing here? We can't even get a six-man team together for the new season, so we have no qualification to participate." Sun Xiang spread his hands.

He suddenly thought of something and added, "Besides, even though we won the Glory Resurrection Tournament, if it weren't for the saturation promotion on the platform during this period, the popularity of my live broadcast room might not be as high as it is!"

"I asked my brothers to connect with me more often, and the popularity came back!"

"As expected of Mr. Sun! Rich! Generous! V brothers, have a 50-eat crazy Thursday!" Fang Rui applauded.

The fact that Sun Xiang bought Yue Yun is also one of the most talked-about topics in the professional circle recently.

As a result, all the players in Samsara except Zhou Zekai had to address Sun Xiang as Brother Xiang or Mr. Sun when they met him.

As soon as Fang Rui started to make a noise, many people followed suit.

After a long while of arguing, Han Wenqing, who had been resting with his eyes closed, seemed to have sensed something and opened his eyes to look in the direction of the filming location: "Here they come!"

There, a staff member was jogging towards them quickly.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" The slightly out of breath staff did not even bother to take a break and hurriedly explained:

"Because we needed to set up the venue and debug various equipment, it took a little time to make these preparations, so it was a little late."

It takes time to set up the site and debug the equipment? It seems to be a large scale?
Everyone was thinking this way, and most people who originally held an indifferent or even pessimistic attitude now began to take it a little more seriously.

Guided by the staff, everyone came to the interior of a venue.

Sure enough, the scene was quite luxurious, with more than ten people in the filming crew alone.

The entire venue has been carefully arranged, with a sci-fi background color, various decorations, dark and mysterious lights...

Zhang Xinjie looked around inconspicuously and nodded secretly.

It seems that the alliance has really spent a lot of money on publicity this time.

It’s the style of this venue. Why does it look so familiar no matter how I look at it?

just like……

While he was thinking, the staff had already brought everyone to a rest area and said with a smile:
"Contestants, please take a break here first. Once the other group arrives, the filming can officially begin."

There is another group of people? Everyone looked at each other in surprise.

If you observe, among the players present, except for those clubs that have completely turned against the team, all other clubs are basically present.

Even Baihua and Huangfeng, who were about to completely blend into the festivities, and Yanyu, who was almost falling apart after Chu Yunxiu's time, sent people out.

Besides them, who else could shoot a promotional video here?

However, this question was soon answered.

"I heard that the government has specially arranged a throne for you, Fanhua? Do we still have to call you the king?"

"Don't mention it, that thing is too childish. If I could, I would let you sit on it."

Another door opened and a large group of people came in with a chattering voice.

Compared to the Rong Yao people who came for the first time, they seemed to be much more familiar with the place and behaved more easily.

However, the moment they saw them, almost everyone on Glory's side was stunned.

Han Wenqing stood up abruptly and stared at a certain bastard at the front of the team, his eyes suddenly becoming sharp:

"Ye Xiu!"

　Chapter One.

　　At the end of the month, I will continue to ask for monthly tickets. The number of 2,000 votes has been reached. Thank you again for your strong support.

　　There will be more in a while.
