Chapter 310 (1/2)
It's not just Wu Jianhua's suggestion, but also other executives of rice entertainment.
Although he hesitated, but so many subordinates dissuaded him, Xu Qianshi finally decided to wait and see the effect of Warcraft's ”battle roar Cup”.
If the effect is good, it's not too late for them to keep up with the resources of rice entertainment in the Internet field. There's no need to be so anxious to go up at the beginning.
At the same time, Hao Yun began to contact sponsors who might be interested in the competition according to the telephone number provided by Ding Shihui.
Unfortunately, things didn't go as smoothly as he thought.
People in this world have no prejudice against video games. After all, there are too many ways of entertainment that are more time-consuming and addictive than video games. However, due to the late start of the development of video games, the concept of E-sports has not appeared so far.
Therefore, for this ”war roar Cup”, the vast majority of potential sponsors have more concerns in mind.
With this in mind, Hao Yun's original intention was to propose a cooperative promotion agreement with a gambling agreement.
That is to say, promise Party A the popularity of the competition and how many people will watch the competition, etc. if not, no fee will be charged. However, even this contract, which is full of sincerity in his view, still can not dispel the concerns of sponsors.
”20 million? I don't think we need to talk any more. ”
When Hao Yun called niumo group, Xia Guo's largest sports drinks company, the executives of the other party directly answered such a sentence on the phone.
In fact, the 20 million sponsorship fee is very cheap.
At least in Hao Yun's opinion.
After all, before he was reborn in this parallel world, the sponsorship fee of one team in a certain game had already exceeded this figure, not to mention the contract between the organizer and the sponsor.
However, such a comparison is meaningless. After all, for the current Xiaguo e-sports industry, it is still in the stage of opening up wasteland. In his previous life, the bubble has been as big as basketball, and the two are not comparable.
Without waiting for Hao Yun to explain, the man continued.
”I understand you've put a lot of effort into this game, but our money is not from the wind after all. Even if you tell me that your game will be watched by at least 10 million people, I can't pay for a data that hasn't been cashed out yet. ”
Hao Yun tries to fight for it.
”So we can sign a bet agreement --”
Interrupted Hao Yun, the man shook his head.
”Mr. Hao, the gambling agreement can't solve all the problems. We need to consider not only the benefits, but also the possible risks. To say the least, if your competition is more than one session, we would like to wait until you have fulfilled your promise on the popularity of the competition before we talk about cooperation. ”
Hearing this, Hao Yun was silent for a while, and suddenly his shoulder relaxed slightly.
”I see, but by that time, it won't be the present price.”
The man said with a smile.
”No problem.”
”We are willing to pay more premium for certainty.”
Although he said that, he didn't think that cloud dream group could make this competition. The reason is very simple. Let alone the video game competition, the ratings of the sports events with the largest audience have continued to decline in the past two years. The reason why many big brand manufacturers still maintain the original sponsorship fees is purely because of the contract.
In his opinion, E-sports is not much better than traditional sports. The latter has at least its own basic set, while the former does not sound very attractive even if the total sales of Warcraft is counted as the audience base.
After hanging up, Hao Yun leans on his office chair and begins to reflect on the reason why he can't get the sponsorship.
Read out the dignified on his face, Zhou Ruiling, who came over with coffee, said softly.
”Is there any trouble?”
”Well, the sponsorship of the competition has not been discussed,” Hao Yun said in a joking tone, looking at the coffee on the table. ”I contacted about a dozen companies, from hardware peripherals to drinks. The answers from all the manufacturers were almost the same. I almost began to suspect that they had made an appointment.”
Zhou Ruiling thought for a moment and said.
