Go: The live broadcast queen launched a gorgeous rebellion against the dog

Chapter 223: Bonus? Rank? None of it matters!

"Hey, don't be happy too soon!
"It sounds good to go to the second channel, but it's actually not a good thing for you!"

Seeing that the girl didn't think much about it, Mrs. Wu couldn't help but smile bitterly and reminded her:

"First of all, your income is still 3000 yuan per game won, regardless of whether it is the second or third table. But the opponents of the second table are definitely generally stronger than those of the third table, which is equivalent to reducing your income in disguise.

"In addition, the average rank of the top three players in the Women's Go League is almost the third rank, but the average rank of the second player is around the fourth rank.

"That is to say, if you play on the second table, most of the games you play will not be considered as your responsible games, which will affect your promotion speed.

"It will affect both your income and your rank... Are you sure you want to quit the second machine?"

In fact, there is nothing wrong with what Wu Yueyun said.

The matter of income has been explained very clearly, now let’s talk about the rank in detail.

There are two main types of promotion in Chinese Go: [points-based promotion] and [reward-based promotion].

To get [rewards for promotion], you need to achieve certain "great achievements". New beginners basically don't need to consider it, as they will rely on [points for promotion].

All games that count towards points have a major prerequisite requirement - the rank difference between the two players must be within two tiers (inclusive), even for the party with the lower rank.

This is because the responsible department calculates both ways; there is no such thing as counting one party but not the other.

And if a high-level opponent who is three levels lower than you can count your points for upgrading your rank, that would be really bullying.

Therefore, as a beginner chess player, Rui Zhao's games against players who are three dan below can be counted in the points responsibility games (just two dans away), but this cannot be done against players who are four dan or above.

To give an extreme example, if Rui Zhao had been playing against a fourth-dan player, even if she had not lost the entire game, as long as the conditions for the bonus promotion were not triggered, she would still not be able to be promoted to the second dan using the points-based promotion method - because these games were not all responsible games.

Therefore, Rui Zhao's move to the second table with a higher level will make it more difficult for her to advance to the next level at this stage.

However, the girl didn't care at all:

"Granny Wu, it's okay!

"I don't need money for now, and I don't care about my rank. It's just a title and doesn't really affect my chess ability.

"As long as I can get more and better training opportunities, I'm willing to do it!"

"Then fight!"

Wu Yueyun couldn't help but exclaim, his eyes full of approval.

The girl's next answer was without hesitation:

"Of course! Ren Leiqi 9th Dan is half a year younger than me, and he has already won the world championship!
"If I don't seize the time now and work hard to improve myself, I will only fall further and further behind Lei Qi!"

"You want to catch up with Lei Qi?" The old lady's tone revealed obvious surprise.

"Ah... Although I know that I don't have much talent! It's very unlikely that I will have a chance to catch up with Lei Qi..."

The girl scratched her head and smiled sheepishly:

“But, for many things, you won’t regret it until you try!

"If you give up without even trying hard, you will definitely regret it in the future!"

Hearing this, the old lady couldn't help but smile:

"What a good kid! Chaotian really didn't make a mistake in choosing him.

"Keep working hard, there is still a chance to surpass Lei Qi!"

"Ah, thank you Grandma Wu!"

Rui Zhao saw this and thought it was just Wu Yueyun's polite encouragement, but he still thanked him very politely.

At this moment, Wu Yueyun turned his eyes and looked at Zou Yang who was watching the battle on the side.

"Um... Zou Yang, you really need to work harder in the next two years!

"I estimate that you will only have the chance to lead the team to win the Women's Go Championship in the next two years - as the team leader."

Hearing this, the female celebrity fell silent for a moment, and after a long while she slowly nodded and said:

"Ah."

...

...

Tuesday, August 8, 8: am.

Dongjing Town Community Cultural Activity Center, Dongjiang City.

The tenth round of the 2023 Women's Weiqi League, the match between Dongjiang team and Jinfen team at home will be held here.

"Xiao Zhao, meow! Come! Give me a smile!"

"Ah? Ah!"

Hearing Ai Jianan's greeting, Rui Zhao, who had just entered the activity center hall, quickly came back to his senses from the life and death questions on his mobile phone, waved towards Ai Jianan's camera, and showed his signature business smile.

The girl is wearing a gray-blue summer professional short-sleeve shirt and a black three-quarter skirt today, which is a very decent, capable and elegant combination.

Of course, Weiqi Hanhan naturally has no idea how to match this outfit.

If it were her, she would probably just put on a casual shirt and shorts to participate in the competition.

However, Manager Ai naturally couldn't stand her main star's poor dressing style - those who didn't know would think that she, as a manager, had no taste in clothes, so she personally bought clothes for Rui Zhao according to her body size, and she only had to wear them. Rui Zhao was very happy about this.

Apart from Go, she has always been used to being an executor: just tell what to do and try not to waste precious Go practice time.

Ai Jianan was also in a good mood at this time because she had filmed a satisfactory clip.

Ah~ Xiao Zhao Miao is still so cute!

Just as she was savoring the scene just now, she heard the girl ask with a little uneasiness:
"Um... Sister An An, you always accompany me to every competition. Does this bother you too much?"

"what?"

"That's right... after all, you run your own agency, so logically, shouldn't you help me find a real part-time assistant?
"I feel bad for bothering you to spend so much time on me every day."

"Ah... Xiao Zhaomiao, you dislike me so quickly?" Ai Jianan teased his own pillar.

The silly girl was naturally stunned and waved her hands quickly:
“No, no!
"Just letting you spend time with me all day, I always feel unworthy. After all, I don't earn much money from you..."

Objectively speaking, what Rui Zhao said was indeed true.

Because the host himself has no interest in developing his own business, [Go Xiaozhao] has never done any product promotion or advertising placement so far. At most, he will add some B station’s own marginal advertisements. The videos and live broadcasts themselves are really just talking about things related to Go.

So, even though [Weiqi Xiaozhao] now has nearly 700,000 fans, the income it brings is not very significant. After deducting taxes, it is only a little over 10,000 yuan per month.

Although Rui Zhao had increased the share of the profits he gave to Ai Jianan to 50%, a monthly income of five or six thousand yuan was indeed not very attractive in a metropolis like Dongjiang.

Not to mention things like buying clothes and transportation expenses, Ai Jianan never asked Rui Zhao to pay for them.

However, Ai Jianan also has his own considerations.

For her, [Go Xiao Zhao] is a very promising anchor with excellent publicity effect. As long as she can make it, she doesn't care about spending some money. It is definitely short-sighted to rush for commercial monetization.

In addition, Ai Jianan has made an unexpected discovery during this period of time...

That is, she herself has actually gained a certain degree of fame among the audience and anchor circles!
Of course, there is nothing we can do about it.

After all, the anchor rarely appears on screen, and Ai Jianan was forced to become the "executive deputy anchor". It is really outrageous for an "assistant anchor" to appear on screen at such a high frequency.

Because of this, Ai Jianan is now almost known to everyone in the anchor circle - after all, many brokerage companies or unions essentially just give some publicity and promotion resources and then start sucking the blood of the anchors. No one has ever heard of a "real mother-like" service like Ai Jianan!

Even during this period, some anchors have come to us on their own initiative, hoping to switch to Ai Jianan!
However, Ai Jianan refused them all - these people's foundation was not very good.

According to Miss Ai's thinking, she wants to really open up a stable upward path from "Internet celebrity anchor" to "mainstream star", so she must be cautious in selecting seedlings. Some superficial and marginal ones are naturally not in her eyes.

And now, she continues to focus her energy on Rui Zhao in order to prepare for the follow-up.

Although [Weiqi Xiaozhao]'s live broadcast is gradually getting on the right track, but with less than seven figures of fans, he cannot be considered a real big anchor, and is still a little short of being typical.

Therefore, Ai Jianan's plan is to wait until Rui Zhao's number of fans has steadily reached over one million, and then find a dedicated assistant for her and start developing new anchors. This is the best pace.

So, facing the girl's guilt, Ai Jianan just smiled:
"It's okay, you've helped me a lot!

"You know, I'm pretty famous in the livestreaming circle now! Many potential livestreamers saw that you, Xiao Zhao Miao, have hundreds of thousands of fans after only three months of livestreaming, and they all hope to sign a contract with me!"

"Really?"

After hearing what Ai Jianan said, Hanhan, who originally felt that he was a complete hindrance, immediately smiled in surprise:

"It would be great if you could help Sister An An!

"After all, you are the one who helped me with the live broadcast to promote Go. I would be embarrassed if you worked for nothing...

"Um... is there anything else I can help with? After all, I'm a bit stupid, and I need your guidance on many things!"

If Ai Jianan had been asked this question three months ago, he would probably have told Rui Zhao about various live broadcasting and fan-attracting techniques.

But after these three months of contact, she knew too well what this Go fan was like, and also knew why [Go Xiaozhao] gained followers so quickly.

The anchor cannot deviate from the characteristics on which he or she relies.

The characteristic of [Go Xiaozhao] is, on the one hand, his good looks.

On the other hand...it is indeed strong enough!
So strong that it can make many people admire it!

Otherwise, if we are talking about "Go vases", there would have been some in the Go circle a long time ago - it's just that none of them were as pretty as Rui Zhao.

But she was able to defeat a professional 7th dan in an amateur competition, win all the dan ranking tournaments, force out the current number one Chinese player in the new 1st dan guidance game, and play a world-famous game with the Ice Queen in the quarterfinals of the Wu Yue Cup... This is the huge and unshakable advantage that [Go Xiao Zhao] has over some other female Go hosts!
In women's competitive sports, there are many strong athletes and many extremely beautiful ones.

But the two are almost inherently mutually exclusive, and it is extremely rare to take both into account at the same time.

But... this idiot in front of me is it!

It is precisely this advantage that brought a large amount of live broadcast resources and promotion to [Weiqi Xiaozhao], providing a very strong boost for its rapid rise to fame in a short period of time.

Thinking of this, Ai Jianan raised the corners of his mouth slightly:
“Well, nothing else… just a little bit.

"Just get stronger! As long as Xiao Zhao Miao can continue to improve and achieve good results, we will definitely attract more people's attention!"

Hearing this, Rui Zhao was stunned at first, but soon she smiled happily - after all, this was what she had always pursued and what she was best at.

"No problem! I will definitely win this game today!"

Well, let me reflect on myself. I feel like I have always been prone to emotional ups and downs, and I love to argue with some big guys in the comment section... I am indeed a newbie, both naive and argumentative.

Although these fragmented time cannot be used for writing, it is indeed possible to think of detailed outlines and plots.

Also, I'd like to give you guys a heads up. My wife will take me out to play tomorrow, so the update may be delayed the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow (especially the day after tomorrow). Please forgive me then.
