Create a great era of e-sports

Ding Tantan said that the main content of IMTV is live broadcast of game competitions. Currently, it is mainly GAG and race competition. There are also some other game competitions. At the same time, it will create several programs to invite professional players to interview, and at the same time cultivate hosts and e-sports industry Required professional talents.

He has great expectations for this project and feels that it will definitely become popular in the future.

Although Mo Yu disagrees, he feels that the main force of e-sports must be the Internet. And as the younger generation grows up and it becomes more and more convenient to watch TV series online, the role of TV will be greatly reduced, resulting in fewer and fewer people watching TV. , traditional channels will definitely lag behind.

But none of these things have happened yet, and he doesn't have much to talk about.

Anyway, the emergence of IMTV is a good thing.

Mo Yuxiao asked: Next month, that's soon. I don't know if it will be free or charged?

There is a charge. Ding Tan sighed and said, Although I want to make it a free channel, after all, IMTV's content is not mainstream and does not conform to traditional values, so it is impossible for it to pass.

Right.

Mo Yu agreed upon hearing this.

Free game channels, given the domestic situation, are simply impossible to pass.

However, in this way, IMTV can only be viewed through a set-top box or needs to be opened by the operator, and the audience will be greatly reduced.

However, the rise of live broadcasting has now led Ding Tan to open IMTV's official live broadcast website. Netizens can also log in to the official website to recharge and consume to see the corresponding programs, which is an additional broadcast channel.

With such a large population in the country and so many people playing games, all it takes is publicity and fame, and IMTV will reach at least a few million people, which is already a huge number.

Thinking about it this way, it's not too much of a pity.

By the way, I wonder if you know a director who can film variety shows? Mo Yu talked about business.

Variety show? Ding Tan thought for a while: Are you going to prepare a program related to e-sports? GAG or racial hegemony?

GAG! Mo Yu said: After all, the scale of Race Hegemony is still far behind GAG. Even if the program is produced, the effect may not be that good. It is better to focus on GAG. In the future, we can invite some contestants from Race Hegemony. Be a guest and do a dedicated program.

Within ten years.

All the games under Mo Yu, even DOTA and CSGO, are probably not comparable to GAG.

no way.

GAG has the first-mover advantage, is easy to get started, and has many players, so it has firmly gained the upper hand.

Unless the game enters an inevitable aging period ten years later, only then will other games be able to catch up. But even so, GAG will still be the top brother with the most viewers in e-sports events.

Ding Tan thought for a while and agreed: That's right. Since you want to make a show, you must make the most popular game. Speaking of which, I paid attention to it when you told me about variety shows before, but there is no one in the circle. Having done related programs, most people may not even know what GAG is.”

Mo Yu was slightly disappointed when he heard this.

But it’s normal to have second thoughts.

Nowadays, all the directors are 3 or 40 years old. GAG’s game players are mainly young people. How can it be so easy to find suitable candidates?

I can't believe that I can't find anyone, so I have to think of other ways.

Mo Yu sighed, feeling that he could only lower his requirements.

Since there is no suitable candidate, we need to find someone who is willing to understand GAG, so that when the program is produced, it will not be boring for players, nor will it be of interest to non-players, and it will be of no use at all.

He was about to say it, but he heard Ding Tan continue: There is no suitable person in the circle, but I did find someone outside the circle.

Um?

Mo Yu was suddenly stunned and asked: What do you mean? Outsider? Who? Not the director?

It's the director.

Ding Tan explained: Strictly speaking, this person is not an outsider. It's just that he graduated not long ago and has never filmed a variety show as a director before. Most of the time he took turns in the director group and had no idea how to shoot a variety show. I am very familiar with variety shows.”

I see.

Mo Yu thought for a while and asked, Can this person do it?

In my opinion, there is no big problem. Ding Tan said: He is very familiar with the variety show shooting process and various links. He has a very active mind and has many ideas. He used to have excellent grades in school. I have met him several times. He is truly amazing and talented, a very powerful person.

The most important thing is that he has advantages that others don't have. He is young enough and likes to play games, especially GAG. If you think it is suitable, why don't I let him go to Jingzhou?

Listening to Ding Tan's words, Mo Yu had a preliminary impression of this person in his mind.

He has a professional background, has good grades, dares to innovate and has ideas, is young, loves to play games, understands players’ thoughts, can shoot variety shows, and understands the work of the directing team; but he is not independent, lacks experience, and may be a bit arrogant.

Mo Yu frowned and thought, undecided for a moment.

Although judging from past experience, whether it is LOL, King of Kings related variety shows, or DOTA-related, the ratings of these programs are not too high. Even if they are led by popular fried chickens, they cannot be compared with other popular variety shows.

But in any case, these programs are very helpful in launching e-sports stars and building their reputation in the game.

For example, Big Nose once appeared on a variety show on Mango Channel. Although it was not a dedicated e-sports program, it also made many people realize that there is such a person and such a game competition.

There is no suitable candidate anyway, so why not let this person give it a try.

After making the decision, Mo Yu immediately said to Ding Tan: In that case, let him come to Jingzhou. I will have a chat with him in person and listen to this person's thoughts.

No problem, wait for my call.

Ding Tan didn't waste any time. He immediately hung up the phone and turned to contact this person.

Three days later.

Mo Yu saw the young man Ding Tan talked about in the office.

A thin, bespectacled, young man looked sad, but his eyes were eager and ambitious. He only held a manuscript in his hand, and he obviously saw an opportunity to display his ambition.

Mo Yu looked at it carefully and nodded slightly.

He is not afraid of ambition, but he is afraid of not having ambition. Only such a person can devote all he has learned to this program that may change his destiny and achieve perfection.

Are you Wang Hao?

Yes, Mr. Mo.

Wang Hao nodded.

sit down.

Mo Yu waved his hand, and when Wang Hao sat down, he went straight to the point.

Mr. Ding must have told you the specific situation. How is it? Are you prepared?

Wang Hao raised his slightly lowered eyes, and there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes behind his glasses: Ready!

He spread out the manuscript in his hand.

Mo Yu smiled slightly: In that case, let's get started!
