Genius Archer's Streaming Season 3 Episode 121
41. After advancing(4)
After Joseon’s advancement to the finals was confirmed,.
The news of advancing to the finals was covered in quite a few media outlets..
Even media outlets that don't usually cover e-sports deliberately published one or two articles..
No matter how unpopular a game is, or even if it is a subtype of e-sports, it is no longer a weight class that can be ignored..
As such, the number of viewers for the fake national competition and Civil M national competition continued to increase..
The highest number of live viewers in the country for the Lild Cup was about 1.7 million, but now the highest number of national competitions has exceeded 400,000..
The Lille Cup is the most popular e-sports competition in name and reality, and it is a sport that is also covered by various media outlets..
Civil Empire has already caught up to about 1/4 of this..
This is quite…….
“That's encouraging..”
Joo Hyuk spoke firmly..
“We haven't even finished the finals yet. Now we're in the finals, right? It's even the round of 32 of the finals. There are a lot of games. What will happen if this gets to the quarterfinals??”
Joo Hyuk is emphasizing how many national competitions will be held now..
Perhaps he was trying to assert its marketability..
“Besides, you're not just watching national competitions right now. You should also see the fake national team..”
They even mention the fake national team..
Why??
“yes? Then, will you put ads on the fake national team??”
Because the person you are talking to is an advertiser..
“no… … You have to do that separately..”
Joo Hyuk holds out his hand..
‘Where are you going to eat raw?.’
Even advertisers have to say what they have to say..
The advertiser seems offended and asks,.
“No, then why are you talking about the fake National University??”
“ah… … It's just the momentum. Momentum. You can see the ripple effect.?”
“patience…….”
Two people sighing and linking arms.
They were employees of the company that proposed sponsorship this time, that is, the advertiser..
They don't put ads on Almond or fake Gukdae..
“We are on the national competition team! I want to engrave it on my clothes.?”
He wants to sponsor a national competition team..
Just as professional soccer teams engrave large sponsor logos on their chests, I want to do the same in national competitions..
this is the problem.
This is why the story keeps going around now..
The woman sitting next to Joo Hyuk explains again..
“no… … It is impossible to implement such a thing in a national competition. Since it is a game related to country and civilization, the game company will never allow it..”
She is an employee from Civil M Korea. She introduced herself as ‘Elysia’. She said that's what she's called at work.
The advertiser apologized to this Elysia..
“therefore… … How can I not ask for permission? Or, at least for Korean broadcasts, they should use CG like that.!”
“yes? W-what… … Then your belly button is bigger than your stomach. Is it easy to add CG?!?”
Elysia is disgusted by the talk of CG and refuses..
It's not technically impossible, but she's absolutely right..
economically impossible.
In the end, the story comes back again.
“no… … therefore……!”
“that… … I can't do it…….”
“Ugh…….”
Joo Hyuk sneaks in..
“wait a minute.”
Joo Hyuk glances at Civil M Korea and Elysia..
“Can we talk for a moment? I think we need to reach an agreement first..”
The advertiser thinks for a moment and then nods..
“yes. Of course. Let's go have a smoke too..”
This is a short break..
Joo Hyuk grabbed Elesia and went to the corner of the office and asked..
“no. Is it really not possible? It's not something that can be solved by raising the unit price.?”
“yes? That's not possible. Aside from financial issues, imagine a national representative sporting a Honda or Toyota on his chest..”
“This is a domestic company… … We are a fake national university…….”
“No, that means you can't. Even if it is not necessarily an overseas company. The characteristics of civilization are obscured by the sponsor logo. How ridiculous it must be. So Civil M will never allow it, and no other team will do it.?”
“under…….”
Joo-hyuk looks regretful.
If you put it on your chest and run, you could fetch a very high price..
This was inconvenient when it came to the national anthem..
“All right. But if you say you can't do it on your chest, you may not be able to sponsor..”
“that… … Yes. But what should I do? They tell me to do something that doesn't work.”
Elysia was clearly disappointed, but she didn't show it..
If this is going to happen, it's better not to have one! Decided to go out so decisively.
“……under.”
Joo Hyuk touches his forehead..
I didn't want to miss it.
‘Having this sponsor would really help me a lot..’
In fact, there is no benefit to be gained from participating in the competition itself, but the story changes when this sponsor comes along..
Players can receive money simply by participating in the game..
Of course, there are too many numbers, so it won't be much if we divide them.…….
Still, there is something about generating income.?
‘First of all, starting is important. As soon as a spawn starts to arrive, everyone will rush in..’
Once you start with this, other sponsors come on, and more, and more.…….
If you increase it like this, maybe you can reach a level where you can really play professionally..
Even if it's hard this time, at least the next or next national team.
‘Why am I like this?…….’
I don't know why we even care about the next generation..
In any case, even the current generation cannot coolly say to this sponsor, ‘If it doesn’t work out, go.’ Even if I pretend to be strong in front of you.
“under… … then.”
After much thought, Joo Hyuk decides to change his strategy..
“Let's try it like this.”
Elysia tilts her head after hearing Joo-hyuk's story..
As if that could really happen.
Joo Hyuk shrugged his shoulders..
“It would be nice if it worked. If it doesn't work out, he's going to go anyway..”
I told Elysia to take it easy, but.
‘I can't go.’
Joo-hyuk plans to catch him somehow..
「Manager please do it.」
It was something Heechul trusted and entrusted to him..
「I've never received that ad before..」
Heechul is also someone who has experience in business, so there’s no way he couldn’t come here and do it..
Nevertheless, he handed this task over to Joo Hyuk..
「I know that too. They come in after seeing the almonds. I am always grateful. So, it's right for the manager to take care of this..」
He usually didn't show it, but he thought that what happened now was thanks to Almond..
Especially these things that happen outside of the game.
Domestic Civil M streaming is gaining popularity, or the think tank team behind it is receiving a lot of attention as a fake national song..
They seemed to think it was all thanks to Almond’s participation..
That wasn't all.
‘It was given to me..’
Above all, he really trusted Joo Hyuk..
「I've heard a lot about it. The manager is very good at this job. I'm just assigning the best people for this job. Don't feel pressured..」
It was my first time since quitting my job..
Someone other than Sanghyun believed in him and entrusted him with his work..
‘But I can't just let it go.’
Joo Hyuk made that promise and went back to the conference room..
* * *
After a while.
Two employees from the other side and two from this side.
So the four of us gathered again in the conference room..
“Now that we've talked for a moment, you can ask for it on your chest..”
“……is it so?”
The faces of the sponsor's employees brightened..
“however. Is it really right to do that??”
“yes? what is that…….”
Tuk.
Joo Hyuk pointed to the empty number box in the contract presented..
“Haven't you decided how much you want to spend here? But from what I heard at first glance, it is far from enough. We're creating something completely unusual, so of course it costs more..”
“…….”
The two employees looked at each other for a moment..
Well, none of the other teams have logos, but this one is the only one..
How noticeable will it be? Advertising costs are bound to be higher..
In addition, I have to persuade the game company.…….
“Please tell me a realistic budget.”
“ah… … one…….”
chuck.
They slightly raise their fingers.
Joo-hyuk's eyebrows twitched..
“no way. Then there is no point in asking in the first place. Ieast…….”
chuck.
Joo Hyuk asked for exactly three times the amount..
Elysia, who was next to me, had to strain her face to act calmly..
“yes!? That's troublesome.”
“Then it's better to do it as a banner..”
“……Banner.?”
“yes. That could be permanently exposed and even better..”
“ah. Are you talking about the banner in the stands of the soccer stadium??”
“no. That's a level of advertising that requires discussion with Civil M's headquarters. That's not possible. It's a broadcast channel banner..”
“hmm…….”
They shook their heads at the same time.
“The feeling of being with the national team has disappeared. It's just like a game broadcast sponsor..”
Oops.
Joo Hyuk had no choice but to agree with their words..
‘You want that feeling..’
Advertising is, of course, aimed at creating a positive image for a company..
You want to feel like you are supporting the players rather than the broadcast itself..
Joo Hyuk thought for a moment..
Since I know what they want, I thought I could persuade them with this..
“Together… … hmm.”
Joo-hyuk paused for a moment and spoke..
“So, is it a feeling of ‘being together’ when you bury it in your chest??”
“Everyone does that, right? of course.”
“no. Here, you will actually feel like you are ‘infringing’..”
“yes?!”
“No, think about it. A place where there are only things like the Joseon army's uniforms, Taegeukgi, and the military standards of generals. Suddenly a modern corporate logo appears? Does that seem like something that would come together? Will it look like it has been infiltrated with capital? All that aside, does it look good? Does it suit you??”
“ah…….”
“If a company logo does one thing to that unattractive sight, does it help the image??”
“…….”
The two were silent for a moment..
Since they said it was e-sports, I was roughly thinking of it as a professional sports league they knew..
But things were very different in Civil Empire..
The colors between countries are more vivid than those of real national representatives in modern sports..
If a company's logo is included, the picture will spoil the colors..
“It's an advertisement that costs a lot of money and only destroys the company's image..”
“……under.”
I couldn't bear to say 'I see', but the two employees were already thinking about changing the plan..
“If you really want to be seen as ‘together’ with the national competition team. There is one thing I would like to suggest. No, actually there is no other way than this.”
“……?”
At those words, two, no, three employees turned around at the same time..
Even Elysia didn't know what Joo Hyuk would say now..
The strategy she heard was simply to claim that 'the price of hitting one's chest is very high' and to present a banner as a means of appeasement..
After that, everything Joo Hyuk just said on the spot..
So, it's been a while since I moved away from the operation in the first place..
“You heard the fake national team story a little while ago.?”
* * *
the next evening.
Almond brings up a story during the broadcast..
“everyone. We have a big announcement.”
-??
-what?
-Important announcement ㄷㄷ
-Are you going to the military??
-It's finally revealed that they are nuts and not humans... … This Nuttillion!
-I'm going to talk at length today... … Isn't it an advertisement? lol
He operates the keyboard and pops up something..
“braided.”
What he floated was the logo of a company..
[Wolsuhyang]
“Our team has a sponsor!”
-After all, it was an advertisement haha.
-Oh wow
-Sponsor ㄷㄷ
-Wow
-Where is that?
-Could it be with the national team???
It was like that..
Sponsors who joined the national competition team this time.
I decided to introduce it on the Almond channel..
“I'm simply introducing you as a token of gratitude. It will appear frequently in fake national team videos in the future..”
Afterwards, this brand will appear in the form of indirect advertising on fake national teams..
-thief
-Big ㅠㅠ PPL
-The unemployed fleet advertises… … ㅠㅠ
-Wolsuhyang? Is this a place that sells alcohol??
-Chi Seung-ah ㅠㅠㅠ Shubaㅠㅠㅠ You succeeded!!
There could have been a negative reaction if it was an advertisement..
‘I think it's okay?’
The only comment in the chat window was congratulations..
At this time, Almond felt.
‘perhaps…….’
That now is the beginning of something big in the future..
“ah. And there are many people who are not familiar with this brand. You'll know what this is when you see it..”
Zech.
Almond took something out on the desk..
‘monster’
It was a sports drink.
percussion!
Almond took off the lid of the can and took a refreshing sip..
And, I showed the promised action..
-????
-Crazy hahaha
-Hahahaha
-Really lol
-This is the power of advertising??!
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
In an instant, the chat window exploded..
