Chapter 242 It’s known all over the city
“Ah! Chairman Shang! I’m so sorry, I was in a meeting when you called today!
“I wanted to call you back as soon as possible, However, you said on WeChat that there is no rush. I think you may be busy, so I thought I would contact you in the evening! You shouldn't be busy now, right? ”
September 4th, 7pm, Chinese Go Association.
Shang Chaotian, who had been busy for a day, finally waited for Dangchao City Culture, Broadcasting, Tourism and Sports Bureau, which was probably also having a busy day. Deputy Director Zhang Xiaokai’s phone number
After all, as a county-level city, the Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament, a national competition, is also a very important annual event for the local area.
The qualifiers will start tomorrow, so it’s normal for Zhang Xiaokai to be busy.
“No, no, no!”
Shang Chaotian quickly said politely, and then went straight to the topic without waiting for more questions.
“Uh...that’s it, I want to communicate with you about publicity.
"I heard that your city chose Lei Qi and Rui Zhao as the main images for publicity and promotion, right?"
Hearing what Shang Chaotian said, Zhang Xiaokai on the other end of the phone also responded quickly:
“Yes, yes!
“Oh, this is just right. I want to thank you too!
“I have to say that you are really discerning! One of these two is your student, and the other is your promoted publicity target. They are a pair of golden boys and girls, both of whom can be said to have excellent images and both talents and appearance. Ah!
"As soon as we announced this, not only the media, but also the support and enthusiasm for the event from the people of our city and even the entire province have increased a lot!"
"Uh, not that much. It's an exaggeration..."
Shang Chaotian quickly tried to correct the other party.
Just to put it this way, even if Rui Zhao doesn’t mind, Lei Qina will probably explode!
“Director Zhang, the term ‘golden boy and beautiful girl’ is still inappropriate. I think...”
"Hey! Chairman Shang, don't be so modest!"
Zhang Xiaokai only said that Shang Chaotian was being polite.
"Don't worry! With these two star players in our hands, we will definitely run them well and strive to achieve a win-win situation with the overall impact of the event and the personal value of the players!
"We will do it again this time From each round of qualifiers, four key and watched games are selected for live broadcast to warm up for this competition..."
The key games that attract attention in the qualifiers...
Hearing this word, Shang Chaotian knew whose game would be broadcast without thinking too much.
After all, photos of people have been put on promotional materials...
...Ah, that's not right!
Why did you get into this with him?
Don’t I have to communicate with him to remove Rui Zhao’s photo from the promotional materials? !
"Well, Director Zhang..."
Shang Chaotian just tried to take over the topic, but unexpectedly the other party was still talking, without leaving any chance for himself:
"...and you Listen to me! Our promotion of the event is absolutely in place this time!
“We urgently purchased 1,500 sets of street lamps with the images of the two contestants in the past week! Just place it around the competition venue and on both sides of the city's main roads!
“I personally made arrangements with the municipal government two days ago! The last batch has been replaced early this morning! You can rest assured!”
……ah?
Shang Chaotian was confused for a moment.
This...
Although I did tell you at the time that all contestants' portraits could be used...
But you are too rude!
It became known throughout the city without even saying a word? !
When talking about this, Zhang Xiaokai realized that he seemed to have been talking, and Shang Chaotian was the one to find him when something happened. He quickly looked back and said:
"Ah, I'm sorry...
"I haven't talked to you on the phone for a long time. I'm so excited to say this!
“Chairman Shang, what did you want to communicate about?”
"Uh...it's nothing!
"I-I think your city really attaches great importance to this competition, so I wanted to express my gratitude to you..."
I feel numb after hearing this. Shang Chaotian couldn't say anything more, so he had to talk about it.
Hey, forget it!
Xiao Lei, just calm down...
< br>
People have already hung it on the street lamp... No, it's on the street lamp. There's nothing I can do about it!
…
…
“Well, Sister An An…”
“What, what’s wrong, Xiao Zhaomiao?”
"Just...I can understand that there are so many photos of Lei Qi hanging on the roadside and in the arena. He was the last champion and a top chess player...
"But why are there so many photos of me hanging up? ? I, am not just a qualifier..."
September 5th, 8:55 a.m., Chao City Sports Center.
Arrived at the qualifier venue The girl shrank her head, feeling a little unfamiliar and scared about the formation in front of her.
And Ai Jianan on the side also understood this very well...
Who can have a stable mentality after being treated as a street lamp pendant?
This time for the Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament, even though Chao City was very close to Dongjiang City, Rui Zhao still didn’t let his parents go with him because it was on a working day.
But Ai Jianan insisted on sending her here, so she couldn't shirk it.
The last time I participated in the New Preliminary Stage and the Women's Waijia Changbai Peak Station, Ai Jianan wanted to follow her during the entire ten-day journey.
The trip was too long at that time, and Ai Jianan, who was still busy with some future development matters for the studio, was really inseparable, so she gave up.
Since the competition venue this time was right next to the Dongjiang River, Miss Ai naturally insisted on coming.
It’s just... I was a little tired from driving all the way yesterday, and neither of them paid much attention to their surroundings.
When checking into the hotel, all the staff, regardless of gender, took a few more glances at Rui Zhao. At that time, Ai Jianan only said that it was because Rui Zhao was beautiful, so she didn't pay much attention to it.
As a result, I drove to the stadium today... What a guy!
So here’s the trick!
But when such a situation occurs... Ai Jian'an can understand it.
Although Rui Zhao became quite famous after the "Calling Mom's Name Game", the commercial value has not been so obvious yet. But after the new first stage, things quietly changed.
The new preliminary stage, which has always been a sideshow, has attracted much attention because of Rui Zhao's participation.
With the hardware upgrade and tilted promotion of the Chess Association, the original Nineteen Company received a lot of unexpected exposure, the product search volume has increased significantly, and the commercial value of the new early-stage girl has been initially verified. .
Under such circumstances, it is not difficult to understand why officials from Zhejiang and Hangzhou Province, who are always known for their keen business acumen, would make such a show of force.
It’s just...
Can your promotional materials not be so old-fashioned in design? !
If it weren’t for the fact that the two young chess players were really good-looking, otherwise people who didn’t know would have thought it was designed by anti-fans!
Ai Jianan sighed softly, and then replied:
"I can't help it, Xiao Zhaomiao, who made you look pretty enough? You are also a famous Internet celebrity anchor."
"Pretty enough?!"
This The statement obviously surprised the girl, and it took her a while to recover:
“Ah... ok, it seems to be really beautiful!”
Regarding Rui Zhao’s reaction, Ai Jianan I don't even know what expression to put on.
Hey hey! You have been an anchor for so long...
But it turns out that you have never been conscious of your beauty? !
Miss Ai was just about to complain, but the girl asked first:
"...But! This is a Go game, and the competition is about chess skills! Shouldn't we focus on promoting those with strong chess skills? A chess player?”
Ai Jianan sighed:
"There's nothing I can do about it, Xiao Zhaomiao.
"For the public, Go and other games are still too difficult and advanced, and are far less eye-catching than good-looking men and beautiful women.
"Like Lei Qi, it's also because he happens to be a handsome boy. If he is short and fat, even if he is the last champion, he still can't be used in promotional materials.
"Including you want to You know, most of our 700,000 fans are attracted because of your appearance, and they may not know how to play chess.
“If you were more ordinary-looking, I feel like we would be thankful to have over 100,000 fans now...”
"Ah..."
Hearing this, the girl was obviously a little disappointed.
"I...I thought I really attracted a lot of people to learn and watch chess, and I feel a little proud. Recently, every time I play chess with Sister Zouyang, I also talk to Senior Brother Sun and the others. Chess is played live...
"So it's just because I'm prettier..."
Hearing this, Ai Jian'an pursed her lips subconsciously. < br>
I have to say that from her point of view, although [Go Xiao Zhao] has been broadcasting a lot recently, the live broadcast data does fluctuate, and the content is also somewhat controversial.
The main reason is that Rui Zhaobo is back on the air, but he really only plays chess and replays! This disappointed many fans who had little interest in Go.
In addition, Rui Zhao basically does not interact with the live broadcast audience, and many times he has to completely rely on Ai Jianan to make ends meet, otherwise the data will be even worse!
They really made me the deputy anchor...
Ai Jianan felt quite helpless when she thought of this.
This is also thanks to the fact that the girl's appearance is really outstanding, and she can attract a lot of viewers just sitting there. Otherwise, the manager in charge of the live broadcast of Station B will probably come to have a chat - after all, it previously occupied a considerable part of the publicity and promotion resources, and it cannot be left 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 live broadcast something more catered to the audience, it may make the short-term data look better, but it is hardly a good thing in the long term.
First of all, this Go fool will definitely feel uncomfortable.
After four months of contact, Ai Jian'an knew that the time Rui Zhao spent on Go could only be described as "crazy". Even if he had a small amount of time, he would take out his tablet to review questions.
For such a little chess lunatic, if you ask her to interrupt her chess practice rhythm to cater to the audience, I'm afraid she will hate the live broadcast within three days.
A truly good mistress should make a man never worry about a fire in the backyard. Only in this way can he truly hold a man's heart.
Ai Jianan thinks so from the bottom of his heart.
…Hmm.
...I have really summed up a lot of inexplicable knowledge during this period of time.
Furthermore, from the perspective of live broadcasting, this kind of behavior may also be killing the goose that lays the egg.
What is the core competitiveness of [Go Xiaozhao]?
Ai Jian'an is very clear: Although good looks are a major selling point, the real moat is Rui Zhao's considerable strength and rapid progress among female chess players, and the news attention she gets. and official resource tilt.
There is no shortage of vases in the Go circle, and it is entirely possible that there will be a female anchor as beautiful as Rui Zhao in the future, and even better at grooming.
But... chess power is something that must be exchanged for one's own time. There is no possibility of duplication of ordinary vases.
As long as Rui Zhao can ensure that his chess skills continue to improve, he can ensure long-term popularity.
So, Ai Jian'an, who thought clearly, immediately comforted the girl:
"Xiao Zhaomiao, that's not what you said!
"You and I For example: Just like when a new store opens, there will always be some measures to attract customers. Most of the new customers who come are initially attracted by the event and have no long-term purchase intention.
“But as long as the products and services of this store are good, there will always be some new customers!
"For the same reason, I told you before that as long as your chess skills can continue to improve and achieve more results, more and more people will actually play Go because of you!"
" ...Really?"
Rui Zhao asked carefully:
It can be seen that the girl felt obviously relieved after hearing this explanation.
“Of course!
"So, just increase your strength and work hard in the game! Don't think too much!"
Ai Jian'an comforted her pillar, and then immediately tried to change the topic so as not to affect Rui Zhao's game state.
"Okay! Let's take a look at your first-round opponent first...
"...Eh?
“Why did you draw that Gao Yang again?!”

【There is "thunder" ahead】
Update... It is estimated that Xiao Lei will be included in several subsequent chapters, until the end of the plot of the Pinghu Quick Chess Tournament. There's nothing I can do about this... Gentlemen, please forgive me.
In fact, this is the reason why I can only insist on writing even if all the big guys hate this character. The subsequent scenes of this character (especially this volume) do account for a relatively large proportion...
