Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio
The next day, in a eting room at Platform173 headquarters…
“You want to collaborate with Battle Online Corporation for a tournant live stream?” Wu Guoyi asked An Manman, who was sitting across the table.
“Yes, President Wu. For now, you are the only person that has any connection with the Battle Online Corporation. This is why I am reaching out to you to discuss with Battle Online Corporation about the live streaming rights for the tournant,” An Manman looked earnestly at Wu Guoyi.
The main reason for her to take a trip to Indigo City was to get the live streaming rights of the Battle Online Corporation’s tournant.
Recently, several videos beca viral on various video hosting platforms.
These videos were recorded by the Battle Online players during their gaplay.
One of the most popular videos was the Christmas Battle Event.
The video was paired with energetic background music, showing countless players fighting fervently and fearlessly against their enemy. Even though it was only through the screen, it made its viewers feel the burning anger and persistence in the hearts of the players.
Moreover, this particular video had received over a million views on various websites and had attracted a large number of new players.
It was precisely through her market research on Battle Online’s gaming video, that the company An Manman worked for, Shark Streaming Platform, decided to seize this opportunity to obtain Battle Online’s live streaming and comntary rights.
Although the popular online ga had not been updated with popular events such as battle arena or guild wars, she had a feeling that it would be all too late if she waited for the updates to be launched before proposing this collaboration.
As of now, Battle Online had garnered an unprecedentedly high rating within the gaming community. For this reason, her father had asked An Manman to co to Indigo City and ask Wu Guoyi for help to discuss the collaboration details with the Battle Online Corporation.
Looking at An Manman, Wu Guoyi went silent for a mont, “Since your father is an old friend of mine, I will be frank with you.”
An Manman listened while nodding her head.
“Even though Battle Online has not released any tournants yet, I can firmly say that once it does, its impact will not be weaker than the popular gas like Atlantis. What’s more, its popularity could even surpass Atlantis. If you want to buy live streaming and comntary rights, I’m afraid the cost will be very high!”
Wu Guoyi himself had been discussing with Lu Wu about their collaboration several tis in the past, so he knew Lu Wu’s take on this matter very clearly.
He sensed that Lu Wu did not care about profits, but instead wanted to focus on developing a good ga.
And this was sothing that Wu Guoyi admired so much about him.
Since he was also one of the players of the ga, he was well aware that if they launched the gaming credit top-up function, the profits generated would be phenonal.
Wu Guoyi believed that if he himself were to make the decision, he would definitely not be able to resist this temptation.
However, since the beginning of the ga’s developnt until now, there was no hint of making soul coins an in-ga purchase. This was sothing that he could not figure out. He just could not grasp what was on Lu Wu’s mind.
This was why he was not confident in An Manman’s proposal for the collaboration.
Having heard Wu Guoyi’s advice, An Manman spoke after a mont of silence, “President Wu, I would like to talk face to face with the person in charge of Battle Online.”
Wu Guoyi nodded when he heard her request, “If that is the case, then I’ll make an appointnt for you. However, I could not guarantee that he will et you!”
An Manman smiled faintly, “Thank you for your help, Uncle Wu.”
……
Lu Wu let out a sigh as he looked at Bei Li. She was lying on the bed, snacking while sneaking side glances at him from ti to ti, “Li, if you’re eating then eat properly. Why are you looking at like that?”
Bei Li propped up her upper body, with her mouth still chewing, “Spring is just around the corner, I wanna see how animals change during their mating season!”
Lu Wu was left speechless by her statent.
“She is just a friend. We haven’t been in contact for a long ti now…”
Lu Wu sighed. In all honesty, there was really nothing going on between him and An Manman; both of them were really just regular friends.
At that mont, Lu Wu’s cell phone rang.
Picking up the call, Wu Guoyi’s voice ca from the other end, “Brother Lu, are you free now? I would like to treat you for lunch.”
Lu Wu looked at Bei Li, who had now turned her ear to his direction in an effort to eavesdrop, and he felt a wave of helplessness in his heart.
“Brother Wu, I am kind of busy lately. I’ll buy you a al next ti when I am free.”
Hearing this, Wu Guoyi went straight to the subject, “Have you considered launching a tournant mode?”
Lu Wu was stunned for a mont.
In fact, he too was thinking about holding a live stream for the ga’s tournant.
Apart from the guild war that had been planned previously, he was also developing a battle event for individual players as well as a leaderboard of the players and other features.
These were the new competitive tournant features in developnt that Lu Wu was going to add.
Lu Wu had always paid extra attention to gaming tournants.
In the developnt of gas, competitive tournants had played one of the most crucial roles in gaining publicity. Not to ntion, it could also increase the popularity of the ga itself.
This was well reflected in the earliest gas. Each event had attracted a large number of players to cheer for their favorite team.
However, holding official tournants required detailed and complicated preparations such as the venue, comntators, and opening ceremonies. Although there were official gaming platforms that only stream tournants, which could also be used to run a tournant, the impact was way weaker and the necessary conditions were still not up to par yet.
Nonetheless, Lu Wu wondered about the reason why Wu Guoyi would bring this topic up. As far as he knew, Platform173 did not have any involvent in the live streaming of tournants.
“What does Brother Wu an by that?” Lu Wu asked curiously.
“Have you heard of the Shark Streaming Platform?”
“Of course. This streaming platform is one of the three major live ga streaming platforms. I used to watch the local and international tournant comntaries on that platform.”
The mont Wu Guoyi ntioned the Shark Streaming platform, Lu Wu had more or less guessed the reason.
“They would like to talk to you regarding the contract for the Battle Online tournant’s legal rights. It is up to you to et them or not, I am just asking on their behalf,” Wu Guoyi replied.
As soon as Lu Wu heard it, he was excited. After all, he was already planning to launch the first season of the guild wars that he was developing. Moreover, Shark was one of the three major local live streaming platforms, so they already have high traffic on the website, which could help to promote the ga. The company was highly experienced in hosting tournants, which was exactly what he needed.
“Let’s et, Brother Wu!” after a mont of thought, Lu Wu gave a simple yet clear answer.
Wu Guoyi was stunned with Lu Wu’s change of attitude. He did not expect this reaction as Lu Wu’s attitude had always been very chill.
Apart from developing the ga, he had never cared about profits, but now, it seed that he suddenly had a change of heart.
“Well then, let’s have lunch together. I’ll inform her about it and will book a table at the Palace Hotel. When you reach, just co to the table.”
Lu Wu gave his swift approval.
As he hung up the call, Lu Wu noticed Bei Li was staring blankly at him.
“I want to tag along!”
