Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 3 Episode 88
31. Fake Gukdae (1)
Heechul was quietly looking down at the message.
[…How about filming and uploading it in the form of a team documentary? We know that Cookie is reluctant to expose media that may interfere with the competition, but we would like to take advantage of this opportunity. For more details, call….]
He touched the phone number left behind.
[Phone]
[Message]
[Register contact information]
He hesitated between options.
Make a call soon.
-ah! yes Cookie! Have you been contacted? We already wanted to give you additional explanation….
The call came so quickly that they looked very nervous.
I think Heechul will refuse outright.
“I’ll do it. “How can we cooperate?”
-…yes?
“It’s a team documentary. “I think it’s a good idea.”
I can hear some chatter on the other end of the phone. Maybe they’re talking to each other.
If I had to guess, it sounded like the person in charge was screaming with joy.
-Thank you so much! We’ll send you the plan first! With players who can cooperate with filming! And the players who can review the strategy leaks…
Heechul quietly wrote down what they were saying.
‘okay. Winning may not be important. For them.’
Winning this game was important to Heechul.
But what about others?
Even after trying for several years, we are unable to even advance to the finals, let alone win.
He was not a nationally recognized sports player.
Is their goal really to win?
It seems highly likely that it is not.
It is simply an area of hobby and people hope that this area of hobby will one day become their way of life.
‘…You’ll want to be like almonds. actually.’
When Almond first joined the team, Heechul felt the players’ eyes on him.
Envy.
It was overwhelming envy.
Because he looks good? Is it because you have great gaming talent? These are actually all additional things.
The results created by these factors are enviable.
“ah! “I also want to make money with Civil M someday…!”
This is what Coffee, the assistant commander, sometimes says.
It’s a bit embarrassing to say something like this while working as a manager at Heechul’s cafe.
Heechul understands.
It’s not that they really enjoy working at cafes.
What they really like is Civil M.
So, they are jealous of almonds.
I envy people making money while playing the games they love.
And I can’t say that there wasn’t a mixture of envy and jealousy in that gaze.
Therefore, it was difficult for Cookie to immediately praise him based on his skills.
Only when he blends into the team to some extent and receives recognition from his teammates can he also be properly praised.
‘It seems like you get along pretty well with the archers.’
Currently, Almond was getting along well, at least with the archers who were active with him.
However, because Civil M had so many members, there were still many who were unfamiliar with it.
– Cookie? Are you listening?
“Ah… I’m sorry. Just a moment…”
-Yes~ I’ll organize it again and send it to you anyway~
“Oh yes. Still, I find it easier to write things myself. “Please speak again.”
-Yes, yes, of course.
Heechul, who had been lost in his own thoughts for a moment, started again to note down the things he needed to prepare.
* * *
While Jia was hospitalized, no videos could be uploaded to the Almond channel.
Even if Joo Hyuk was looking for an assistant editor, there was no way he would be able to put him to work right away.
In any case, the video concept that had been uploaded under Jia’s order had to be maintained.
So in the end, Almond made this decision.
“So I’ll be taking a break from broadcasting for a while until the Rome game.”
There is a break until the Rome match.
-???
-Eh?
-Why the conclusion…
-Wow ㅠㅠ
-It looks like the editor is very sick ㅠ
Currently, AllTube accounts for more than 70% of Almond’s profit structure, and most of his advertisements come in based on the number of views on AllTube.
Of course, the number of live viewers is one of Almond’s strengths, but Almond had a higher number of all-tube views compared to live viewers.
The only thing that was a bit low was the number of subscribers. In fact, that was simply because it had only been four months since he created the channel.
Now, even that is getting higher thanks to his performance in Civil Empire.
In conclusion, AllTube was becoming more and more important to Almond…
so we couldn’t make unreasonable demands on Jia until we found a new editor.
“Even if the editor recovers, it will be difficult if there are too many videos piled up… More than anything, there were some important advertising videos scheduled. “It absolutely had to be edited, so we decided to postpone it all.”
-In the end, it’s about money!
-Breaking News) Almond said, “Advertising is more important than anything else”…
-Editor, don’t overdo it!
-I can’t help it, honestlyㅠ
In particular, Almond has received countless advertisements since G-Star, but without Jia, these videos will be lost.
This is because, according to the contract, advertising videos must be unconditionally edited and uploaded to AllTube.
Tiring.
[Ruby Sword donated 30,000 won.]
[What are the advertisements?]
“Ah. Ruby Sword. Thank you for your 30,000 won donation. “The advertisement is…”
Almond opens the schedule for a moment and looks at it.
“The one I was scheduled to play this time was Jet Pumped. Rather than simply playing, I was planning to prepare an event broadcast using the patch suffrage that I had decided to use. “For now, everything has been postponed.”
-Oh
– ㄲㅂ
– Wow, that’s fun haha
– No, Almond is really involved in the patch? Haha
– Jet Pumped’s life was extended by 10 days haha
– Kim Yi-seo: Sigh….
In addition to Jet Pumped, Zombie School is finally out of early access. There was also an advertisement for playing the completed story, and most of the games played at G-Star, such as Battle Rage and Ninja Mode, had advertisement schedules.
I should have done it whenever I had time during the national competition.
It seemed impossible to carry out at least until the end of the Roman War.
“I will also take this opportunity to rest a little while concentrating on preparing for the competition. Then Tuba~”
-Are you going? ㅠㅠ
-Please do a lil survival battle
. -No!
-Ughyuㅠㅠㅠ
-Abba~
This was the end of Almond’s broadcast today.
Slurp.
Sanghyeon came out of the capsule and sighed lightly.
“after.”
From some point on, it was his hobby to watch the reactions on AllTube and be happy.
with a plop.
Sanghyun goes to the bed in his room, throws himself on it, and stares blankly at the ceiling.
‘I feel empty already.’
Sang-hyeon closes his eyes for a moment feeling tired.
* * *
What woke him up was the sound of Joo-hyuk knocking.
smart.
“Uh… uh. why.”
Joo-hyuk enters through Sang-hyeon’s tired voice.
“ah. You were sleeping so you didn’t see me? “Look at your phone.”
Sang-hyeon checks his cell phone after hearing those words.
The only thing on the black screen was his own swollen face. Soon, his face was recognized and the cell phone turned on.
[Joo-hyuk: Look at this]
[Joo-hyuk: Sent from Civil M Korea]
There was a message from Joo-hyuk.
“what’s this?”
“We don’t have any videos to post on AllTube for the time being anyway.”
“uh.”
“They said they were filming a team documentary. how is it?”
“…Eh?”
Team documentary?
It was a concept that Sanghyun had never heard of before, as it was something completely unimaginable in archery.
Joo-hyuk explains this and that.
“So it’s like a players’ vlog.”
Sanghyun thought it was just a vlog for players.
“Well… right. This team documentary is now increasing favorability towards the Civil M team. It’s a video to get views for the competition. “Is it like they bite each other and bite each other?”
If you become fond of Civil M players, you will watch the competition more intently.
If you watch the competition intently, you become curious about the players.
It is a relationship that helps each other.
The important thing here is how to get people’s attention in the first place.
“Of course, the proportion of videos is the highest in ‘Our Almond’…”
Civil M Korea’s solution is to put players who are already receiving a lot of attention at the forefront.
“oh.”
Seeing Sang-hyun slightly liking him when he said that he had a high role, Joo-hyuk didn’t think there was any need to persuade him.
“And I’m talking about uploading this team documentary itself on our channel.”
Even after listening to this point, it’s already good.
Even this team documentary itself is uploaded to our channel?
“Team documentary on our channel? “I heard you did that much?”
“Of course, we share the profits. “They do all the production there.”
“Oh, uhm… that’s obvious…”
Since they produce it, they probably want to upload it on their own channel.
“I’m persuading. Because this is really good for each other. Of course, it’s good because we have a lot of subscribers. It’s good because they make a lot of money by exposing it to channels that get a lot of views in the first place. “We don’t even have any videos to upload for a while, right?”
Yes. Jia was taking a break from editing.
There were no videos to upload to the channel.
But what if Joo Hyuk’s persuasion works?
‘It could go on and on.’
The channel can operate even while Jia is resting.
“oh!”
Sanghyeon literally woke up from his sleep.
“Are you okay? But…”
Would Heechul accept this proposal?
The Heechul that Sanghyun knows is very conservative. Just looking at these team documentaries doesn’t help improve the level of the game at all.
Haven’t you seen many cases where sports players’ skills decline while filming commercials on days when they are only fake?
I don’t think cookies will be easily accepted.
“What about Cookie? “I don’t think you will allow it.”
“ah. For some reason, Cookie coolly agreed right away. So, they even contacted us.”
“okay?”
Sanghyun’s eyes widened.
It was unexpected. I never thought I would say yes right away like this.
“I heard he even asked me to take good pictures of his teammates?”
“Oh….”
They say they know what’s inside the water of ten streets, but they don’t know what’s inside the people of one street.
I had no idea Heechul would allow it like this.
“Then are we okay too?”
“of course.”
“Then I’ll continue talking about posting it on our channel.”
“uh. OK.”
If this video is uploaded to the Almond channel, it will be the first ‘production cost’ video.
‘It’s expanding.’
There is a strategy commonly used by AllTube channels when aiming for greater growth.
That’s planning a kind of blockbuster.
It’s not just a video featuring the channel’s owner, but it’s a kind of special entertainment show.
“I think this will almost work. Do you know who the producer in charge here is?”
“…who?”
“Producer Jang.”
“!”
Producer Jang.
He was the person who helped Almond when it first entered major channels.
“That person appeared on the broadcasting station. They say you start from the minor and go to the major on your own. “I think things will go well with me.”
“Ah… you came out? “Somehow it didn’t seem like a good fit.”
Hahaha.
The two laughed as they recalled that time.
He was definitely not a great person to plan such a gentle program.
* * *
Afterwards, time passed and the day of the confrontation between Joseon and Rome arrived.
This day was the day that Joseon faced Rome, and at the same time, it was quite a historic day for the Almond Channel.
[Fake National Team ep.1 My heart is real]
It was the day when the first blockbuster(?) was uploaded to his channel.
