Chapter 928: High-priced places in Beimi Division!

March 7th, Wednesday morning.
On the Tuwei live broadcast, the first exhibition match of the ICL League will be played at 5 o'clock this evening. The two teams are the two domestic teams that previously won the domestic quota and entered the ioi global finals but were eliminated in the final group stage. .
Although both eliminated in the group stage, it seems that there is no card face, but after all, the two teams are the two strongest teams in China except FV and SUG.
What's more, after they came back from the World Finals, they also looked for the FV team to play some training games, and their technical and tactical level and comprehensive strength have been significantly improved.
Zhao Xuming believes that these two teams will appear in front of all audiences again, and they will definitely show a completely new look!
Tomorrow, that is, Thursday, there will be an exhibition match between the FV team and the SUG team, and the attention will definitely be higher.
The reason why the FV and SUG match is not scheduled for today is mainly because of the fear of accidents on the first day.
The various lighting, equipment, directors, and related arrangements of the rabbit tail live broadcast at the competition site, etc., all need to be debugged. If the FV and SUG exhibition games are scheduled for today, if the computer repairs are suspended during the whole process, it will be too disappointing, and it will hurt the heat of the league.
Therefore, it is the best choice to arrange two teams with not so high traffic, but with certain strength and popularity today.
Of course, this will also bring about a problem, that is, what to do with the heat of the game.
At present, the enthusiasm of the domestic ioi field is not an exaggeration to say that 90% of them are concentrated on the FV team. The FV team is not on the first day of the ICL exhibition. There are not many audiences watching it. Isn't it embarrassing?
However, Zhao Xuming thinks that this is not a big problem. After all, data is true and false, and everyone knows it.
The live broadcast platform can give millions of fake heat, put more repetitive barrage, arrange a batch of naval forces to speak crazy...It can also support the heat of the live broadcast room, at least it can be fake. effect.
Although there is no detailed agreement on these contents in the contract between the two parties, isn't the live broadcast platform all such a routine?
This kind of thing doesn't need to be explained deliberately at all, it is the unspoken rule of the industry, and the staff on Tuwei Live will naturally arrange it.
Now, Eric and Zhao Xuming are inspecting the ICL League match site to check the preparation of various tasks.
The venue of the ICL League is also an indoor venue, in a large studio in Magic City.
In fact, Eric considered large stadiums at first, but he quickly gave up. Although these large stadiums seem to be more magnificent, there will be many corresponding problems.
For example, large outdoor venues are severely affected by the weather, whether it is heavy rain or exposure to the sun, the audience will suffer.
The bigger the venue, the more money it will cost to decorate it. It's not that I'm afraid of spending money, I'm mainly afraid that the audience will be dissatisfied, which would be embarrassing.
What's more, the transportation of large venues may not be very convenient. If there are concerts, ball games, etc., ICL audiences will leave with fans or fans, and the scene will be chaotic and difficult to handle.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, we still rented an indoor studio like GPL, so that at least the traffic is more convenient and the overall effect can be guaranteed.
Eric went to the backstage of the studio and asked the staff about the debugging of various equipment in detail, then went to the stage and the auditorium to take a circle to see what are the shortcomings from the perspective of an audience.
Zhao Xuming followed Eric all the way, occasionally explaining some details.
Eric has studied the GPL competition venues before, and has a lot of experience to learn from. This time, Eric also made a lot of instructions for the preparation of ICL.
After all around, Eric sat in the audience for a moment of silence, and said, "Will it be a bit too GPL?"
He didn't realize this until now.
Because when preparing for the ICL League, Eric subconsciously adopted all the places where the GPL has done well, such as the team battle flags around the stadium, the big screen on the stage and the arrangement of players' positions, etc.
It’s really okay to take out these details separately, but after putting them all together, there will be an inexplicable sense of sight...
Obviously, when the staff completed these details, they also subconsciously took the GPL approach in their minds, so they did something a bit like.
Zhao Xuming opened his mouth and didn't know how to answer for a while.
Since Eric asked this question, he obviously already had a definite answer in his heart.
If you say "No", it will definitely make Eric feel ignorant.
But Zhao Xuming can't nod and say "yes", because in that case, Eric will definitely ask, why didn't you remind me earlier?
What Eric needs most now is a reliable solution.
But the game is about to start tonight, can there be a hammer solution in these few hours?
I can’t take down all the finished decorations now and replace them in a few hours, right? Isn't that nonsense?
Zhao Xuming had an idea and thought about his excuses.
"There is indeed a sense of sight of the GPL, but I don't think it matters."
"Although this will bring us a little negative impact on public opinion, it also means that after the GPL viewers are transferred to our ICL League, there is not much threshold for watching the game."
"It can only be said that there are advantages and disadvantages, but the advantages outweigh the disadvantages."
"In the future, we can slowly adjust the decoration of the venues and try to remove the GPL elements."
Eric seemed fairly satisfied with this answer, and nodded: "Well, it can only be that way."
The two sat in the audience for a while, and Eric asked again: "I heard that Tenda Group is also preparing for overseas leagues. How is the current situation? Any news?"
Zhao Xuming hurriedly replied: "Some news has come out."
"At present, Tenda Group’s overseas leagues should also be in the preparatory stage. I heard that it is to cooperate with overseas companies for promotion. Each agency company decides the specific matters of overseas leagues. Tenda Group only plays a guiding and gate-keeping role."
"As for the specific companies to cooperate with, the specific competition system, schedule, and participating teams of the overseas leagues... these are still completely unknown."
Eric nodded and smiled slightly: "Overseas leagues, we are finally better. ioi's global regional leagues started earlier than GOG, and it is directly coordinated and managed by the finger company to establish branches in various places. Obviously this aspect is dominant overall."
Zhao Xuming asked: "I was surprised when I first heard the news. This does not look like President Pei’s style of doing things. Cooperate with other companies and let these companies lead the preparation of overseas leagues. Isn't it embarrassing?"
Eric smiled slightly: "Do you think Mr. Pei didn't realize this? He realized it, but he couldn't help it."
"After all, Tengda Group does not have much experience in going overseas, and it may be difficult to force a large package."
"The Dayak Group is a multinational group that has a good influence in many parts of the world. The Finger Company is a U.S. company."
"In other words, Tenda has a natural advantage in domestic leagues; but in overseas leagues, this situation is completely reversed."
"As far as I know, the league for the headquarter of Zhitou Company in the North Mi region is almost ready. The tentative price for the league seats is..."
"Seven million dollars."
Zhao Xuming was taken aback for a moment: "So expensive!"
This is the price of a single seat.
It has been said before that Mr. Pei has sold sky-high prices for the GPL quota, but the average price of the seats is basically around 20 million, which is only 3 million dollars.
And the quotation of seats in the ioi North Mi regional league directly doubled the quotation of the GPL quota!
Eric smiled: "It's a bit expensive at the moment, but it won't be the same in the future. Moreover, at the price of seven million dollars, many clubs will buy it."
"The clubs in North Mi are much more financially rich. Buying a seat for 7 million will make them feel painful, but they will never give up this seat."
Different regions have different levels of development of the e-sports industry. The e-sports industry in the three major regions of Europe, America and South Korea is developing relatively fast, but in terms of financial resources, it is definitely the richest club in North Mi.
Of course, the domestic e-sports industry is also home to many large consortia, and the financial resources of various clubs are also growing rapidly, but compared with clubs in the United States, the financial resources are still much worse.
Zhitou's pricing in the North Mi Division is not a slapstick price, but is determined by factors such as the financial resources of various clubs, the influence and popularity of ioi in the North Mi region, and the asking prices of other e-sports industries.
Eric did not demand high prices from domestic e-sports clubs. The quota in the ICL League is basically half buy and half free. This is not because he is a philanthropist, but simply because he knows that domestic clubs squeeze. Not so much oil and water.
No one can afford to set a sky-high price, so what's the point?
But the situation on Beimi’s side is different. This is the base camp of the Zhitou company, the league, live broadcast, and the related derivative industries of the club. This is a huge gold pool. The Zhitou company does not want to sell all the places at a low price. Make a good profit.
The landlord’s family doesn’t have any surplus food. The Finger Company has been throwing coins to promote the domestic market. Where does the money come from? Don’t you still have to make money from other markets?
Eric said with confidence: "It's hard to say in other regions, but in the North Mi region, the Finger Company has an absolute advantage. Tenda wants to run GOG's North Mi League and fight against ioi. It will definitely not be so easy!"
Zhao Xuming nodded slightly and agreed.
Indeed, Tenda's achievements so far are mainly in China, and Tenda as a domestic company does have an advantage in this regard.
But when it comes to Beimi, it is the home court of Zhitou Company. Tenda Group cannot directly intervene, and can only let other game companies act as agents. The difficulty will definitely increase a lot.
Eric's self-confidence in the company is obviously justified.
Just then, Eric's cell phone rang.
He glanced at it, his brows wrinkled involuntarily, and his face changed suddenly after answering the phone.
"What? I'll take a look right away."
These two sentences are spoken in English. Obviously, this call should come from the headquarters of Finger Company in Los Angeles.
Zhao Xuming asked: "What's wrong?"
Eric's face is a bit ugly: "The forum at Beimi doesn't know why there is so much uproar that we treat the two regions differently!"
