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

Chapter 242 Everyone knows it
"Ah! Chairman Shang! I'm so sorry, I was in a meeting when you called today!

"I wanted to call you back right away, but you said on WeChat that it was not urgent. I thought you might be busy, so I thought I would contact you in the evening! You should not be busy now, right?"

September 9th, 4pm, Chinese Go Association.

After a busy day, Shang Chaotian finally received a call from Zhang Xiaokai, deputy director of the Dangchao Municipal Bureau of Culture, Television, Tourism and Sports, who was probably also busy all day.

After all, as a county-level city, the Pinghu Rapid Chess Tournament, a national competition, is also a very important annual event for the local area.

The preliminaries will start tomorrow, so it's normal for Zhang Xiaokai to be busy.

“Not busy, not busy!”

Shang Chaotian quickly said politely, and then without waiting for the other party to ask more questions, he went straight to the point.

"Uh... it's like this, I want to communicate with you about the publicity.

"I heard that your city chose Lei Qi and Rui Zhao as the main images for promotion, right?"

Hearing Shang Chaotian say this, Zhang Xiaokai on the other end of the phone also responded quickly:

"Yeah!

"Oh, that's exactly what I want to thank you for!

"I have to say you really have a good eye for talent! One of them is your student, and the other is your promotional target. They are a perfect pair of a perfect image, talented and beautiful!

“Once we put out this promotion, not only the media, but also the people of our city and even the province have shown a lot of support and enthusiasm for the event!”

"Well, it's not that exaggerated..."

Shang Chaotian quickly tried to correct the other party.

Just like that, even if Rui Zhao didn't mind, Lei Qi would probably be furious!
"Director Zhang, the term 'golden boy and jade girl' is still inappropriate. I think..."

"Hey! Chairman Shang, don't be so modest!"

Zhang Xiaokai thought Shang Chaotian was just being polite.

"Don't worry! We will definitely manage these two star players well and strive to achieve a win-win situation for the comprehensive impact of the event and the personal value of the players!

"This time we will also select four key matches from each round of qualifiers to broadcast live to warm up for this tournament..."

The key matches in the qualifiers are attracting much attention...

When he heard this word, Shang Chaotian knew whose game would be broadcast without much thought.

After all, they put their photos on promotional materials...

...Oh, that's not right!

How did this get to him?

Didn't I have to talk to him about removing Rui Zhao's photo from the promotional materials? !

"Um, Director Zhang..."

Shang Chaotian just tried to take over the conversation, but the other party was still talking nonstop, leaving him no chance:

"…and listen to me! Our promotion work for the event this time was absolutely perfect!
"We urgently purchased 1500 sets of street light billboards with the images of the two players printed on them in the past week! They will be placed around the competition venues and on both sides of the city's main roads!

"I personally contacted the municipal government to make arrangements a few days ago! The last batch has been replaced this morning! You can rest assured!"

……ah?

Shang Chaotian was stunned for a moment.

This……

Although I did tell you that all contestants’ portraits could be used...

But you are being too rude!
Without even saying a word, everyone in the city knew about it?!
At this point, Zhang Xiaokai realized that he seemed to have been talking all along, and Shang Chaotian was the one who came to see him for something. He quickly turned around and said:
"Oh, sorry...

"I haven't talked to you on the phone for a long time, I'm so excited!

"Chairman Shang, what did you just say you wanted to discuss?"

“Uh… nothing!
"I just feel that your city really attaches unprecedented importance to this competition, so I want to express my gratitude to you..."

After hearing this, Shang Chaotian, who was already numb, didn't know what to say anymore and could only change the subject.

Hey, forget it!

Xiao Lei, calm down...

People have already hung you on the street lamp... No, you're hung on the street lamp, there's nothing I can do!

...

...

"Um, Sister An An..."

"What, what's wrong, Xiao Zhao?"

"Just... I can understand why there are so many pictures of Lei Qi hanging on the roadside and in the stadium. He was the last champion and a top chess player...

“But why are there so many pictures of me? I, I’m just a qualifier…”

September 9, 5: am, Dangchao City Sports Center.

The girl who arrived at the qualifying match shrank her head, feeling somewhat unfamiliar and frightened by the scene before her.

Ai Jianan beside him also understood this very well...

Who can remain calm if being treated as a street lamp pendant?
This time, for the Pinghu fast chess competition, even though Dangchao City was very close to Dongjiang City, Rui Zhao still did not let his parents go because it was on a weekday.

But Ai Jianan insisted on sending her here, so she couldn't refuse.

Last time I participated in the New First Dan Tournament and the Women's Go League Changbaifeng Station, Ai Jianan wanted to follow along for the entire ten-day journey.

It was because the trip was too long and Ai Jianan, who was busy with the future development of the studio, was unable to make the trip, so he gave up.

Since the competition was taking place right next to Dongjiang River, Miss Ai naturally insisted on coming.

It’s just… we were a little tired from driving all the way yesterday, and neither of us paid much attention to the surrounding situation.

When checking in, all the staff, both men and women, took a few extra glances at Rui Zhao. At the time, Ai Jianan thought it was because Rui Zhao was pretty, so she didn't pay much attention to it.

As a result, I drove to the stadium today... Wow!

So here’s the clue!

But this kind of situation... Ai Jianan can understand it.

After that famous game, although Rui Zhao had gained considerable fame, his commercial value had not yet been shown. But after the new first-level competition, things changed quietly.

The new first-stage competition, which had always been on the sidelines, attracted a lot of attention due to Rui Zhao's joining.

With the hardware upgrade and preferential promotion of the Chess Association, the original 19th company received a lot of unexpected exposure, the product search volume has increased significantly, and the commercial value of the new first-dan girl has been initially verified.

Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why officials from Zhejiang and Hangzhou provinces, who are always known for their keen business sense, would make such a bold move.

only……

Could you please not design your promotional materials in such an old-fashioned way? !

If it weren’t for the fact that these two young chess players are really good-looking, people who didn’t know would have thought it was designed by a black fan!

Ai Jianan sighed softly, then replied:

"I can't help it, Xiao Zhao, you're so pretty... and a famous internet celebrity."

"Pretty enough?!"

This statement obviously surprised the girl, and it took her a while to recover:
"Ah... well, it seems to be very beautiful indeed!"

Ai Jianan didn't know what expression to make in response to Rui Zhao's reaction.

Hey! You’ve been a streamer for so long...

So you've never been aware of how pretty you are?!
Miss Ai was about to complain, but the girl asked first:

"…But! This is a Go competition, and what matters is the level of chess skills! Shouldn't we focus on promoting those chess players with strong skills?"

Ai Jianan sighed and said:

“There’s nothing I can do, Xiao Zhao.

"For the general public, Go is too difficult and too advanced, and is far less attractive than handsome men and beautiful women.

"Like Lei Qi, it's because he happens to be a handsome boy. If he were short, ugly and fat, he wouldn't be able to appear in promotional materials even if he was the last year's champion.

"You have to know that most of our 700,000 fans are attracted by your appearance, not necessarily by your knowledge of chess.

"If you were ordinary looking, I'd think we'd be thankful to have over 100,000 fans now..."

"what……"

Hearing this, the girl was obviously a little disappointed.

"I... I thought I really attracted a lot of people to learn and watch chess, which made me a little proud. Recently, every time I play chess with Sister Zou Yang, and talk to Senior Brother Sun about chess, I broadcast it live...

"So, it's just because I'm prettier..."

Hearing this, Ai Jianan pursed her lips subconsciously.

I have to say, from her point of view, although [Go Xiao Zhao] has been broadcast a lot recently, there are indeed fluctuations in the live broadcast data and the content is also controversial.

The main reason is that Rui Zhao returned to broadcasting, but he really only broadcast chess games and replays! This disappointed many fans who are not very interested in Go.

In addition, Rui Zhao basically does not interact with the live audience, so most of the time he has to rely on Ai Jianan to do something, otherwise the data will be even worse!
I really became the executive deputy anchor...

Ai Jianan felt helpless when he thought of this.

This is also thanks to the fact that the girl is really good-looking, and she can attract quite a lot of viewers just sitting there. Otherwise, the manager in charge of the live broadcast of Station B would probably come to have a talk - after all, she had previously occupied a considerable part of the publicity and promotion resources, and she couldn't let it go to waste!

However... despite facing some minor troubles, Ai Jianan has no intention of changing his silly live broadcast mode.

In her opinion, if Rui Zhao is forced to broadcast something that caters to the audience more, it may make the short-term data look better, but it is hard to say it is a good thing in the long run.

First of all, this Go player will definitely feel very uncomfortable.

After four months of contact, Ai Jianan realized that the time Rui Zhao spent on Go could only be described as "crazy". Even in his spare time, he would just take out his tablet to review questions.

If you ask such a little chess fanatic to interrupt her chess practice to cater to the audience, I'm afraid she will hate live streaming within three days.

A truly good mistress should make a man never worry about a fire in the backyard, and only then can she truly hold a man's heart.

Ai Jianan believed this from the bottom of her heart.

……Well.

...I have really summed up a lot of inexplicable knowledge during this period of time.

Furthermore, from the perspective of live streaming, this behavior may be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

What is the core competitiveness of [Go Xiaozhao]?
Ai Jianan is very clear: although good looks are a major selling point, the real moat lies in Rui Zhao's considerable strength among female chess players and her extremely rapid rate of improvement, which has resulted in her receiving news attention and official resources.

There is no shortage of pretty girls in the Go circle, and it is entirely possible that in the future there will be female anchors who are as beautiful as Rui Zhao, or even better at entertaining people.

But... chess skills require you to exchange your own time for them. There is no possibility of replicating ordinary vases.

As long as Rui Zhao can ensure that his chess skills continue to improve, he will be able to maintain long-term popularity.

Therefore, Ai Jianan, who had a clear mind, immediately comforted the girl:
"Xiao Zhao, that's not what you said!
“Let me give you an example: when a new store opens, there are always some measures to attract customers, and most of the new customers who come are attracted by the activities at the beginning and have no intention of buying in the long term.

“But as long as the store’s products and services are good, there will always be some new customers!
"The same goes for me. I've told you before that as long as you can keep improving your Go skills and achieve more results, more and more people will start playing Go because of you!"

“…Is that so?”

Rui Zhao asked carefully:
It was obvious that the girl felt relieved after hearing this explanation.

"of course!

"So, just improve your strength and do your best in the competition! Don't think too much!"

Ai Jianan comforted her mainstay, and then immediately tried to change the subject so as not to affect Rui Zhao's performance in the game.

"Okay! Let's take a look at your first round opponent first...

“…Huh?

"How did you pick Gao Yang again?!"
