Chapter 59: Live Broadcast That Can’t Be Turned Off
Han Tian received an advertisement.
Ever since he started live broadcasting, setting aside the game itself, his videos were absolutely high quality.
The scenes of players battling demonic beasts were detailed, from special effects to costumes.
There were quite a few people who followed his broadcasts.
With such massive traffic, there were definitely a lot of people looking for Han Tian to advertise for them.
Han Tian could earn a fortune just from advertisements alone.
He used to do game reviews, and because of his good reputation, the price for sponsored content was also high, but he never spoke carelessly.
He wouldn’t do sponsored content for some bad games even if they paid him.
But now, this traffic was far beyond what he could compare to before, and advertisement prices had also soared.
Han Tian picked a few advertisements from big brands to accept, and also sent red packets to the people he teamed up with.
He expressed his gratitude for their appearance in the broadcast.
Since they weren’t their real faces, no one felt uncomfortable.
Especially Zhou Xiao and Chen Miaomiao, because their faces were created beautifully, they now had a fanbase that liked watching them.
Of course, amidst the joy, unexpected situations always arose.
For example, Han Tian was reported.
The so-called reporting meant that on the website where he was live broadcasting, someone had posted a video questioning him.
【How Jing Baotian Orchestrated a Shocking Scam】
The video was posted by a blogger on the same website named ‘Zheng Feichang’.
In the early days, like Han Tian, he was a game reviewer.
But unlike Han Tian, who cherished his reputation, as long as he was paid, he could praise even the worst games extravagantly.
Because of this, in the early days, many people watched his videos, but now that many people knew to check reviews for their reputation, they didn’t watch his game reviews much anymore.
Netizens all said that his reviews were as infamous as his ID.
With no viewers, both income and traffic declined.
Just as he was contemplating whether to switch careers, Zheng Feichang saw the news about Han Tian.
His eyes lit up, and he immediately knew an opportunity to gain traffic had arrived.
He also watched the live broadcast. Could such a game exist in this world?
With the current national technology, or rather, the technology of the entire world, nothing could be created to achieve this.
Zheng Feichang scoffed and immediately posted the sensational video.
“Hello everyone, I am UPhost Zheng Feichang. Today, we won’t be doing game reviews, but rather commenting on a person. Han Tian, this former UPhost Jing Baotian, was like me before, specializing in reviews, an idol of mine. But I truly never imagined that he would suddenly lose his mind and go for such a gimmick. Marketing, scammer, hype – these are words I never thought I’d use for him…”
The entire video, while ostensibly stating Han Tian was his idol, actually served to belittle and humiliate Han Tian.
It accused him of throwing out the gimmick of 1 million to hype a non-existent game, and then falsely using the game’s name to increase his own traffic.
Han Tian was doing all this solely for money.
Zheng Feichang argued his case comprehensively, with the most crucial point being: does this game even exist?
He believed it did not.
Even though many people were still watching Han Tian’s live broadcast, they also felt that the game did not exist.
However, people from the special effects industry came forward to analyze that, based on the cost of producing special effects, most of the scenes with the technology displayed in Han Tian’s live broadcast would have cost hundreds of thousands to achieve such fine detail. Moreover, Han Tian was displaying it in a live broadcast format, with no discernible editing traces, and Han Tian was interacting in real-time. The visuals were too smooth and natural, and this technology alone didn’t seem like something current special effects teams could produce.
So they were also confused. The technical difficulty was too high. If there was a major breakthrough, was it just for hype?
Either the technology was fake, or he had too much money and nowhere to spend it. Han Tian had to be one of them.
“I’m hyping things up, a scammer?”
Han Tian also saw the bullet comments on his screen constantly saying that Zheng Feichang had posted a video dissing him, calling him a hype marketer.
Han Tian’s lips curled into a dismissive smile: “That clown? I don’t need to pay him any mind. I’ll say it again, as long as you can find a real-world counterpart to my background, my 1 million is still valid. And, whether it’s real or not, there are already 70 players in this game, and other players can also testify to what I’m saying.”
“Are you going to say that the game developer hired seventy paid commenters?”
“Believe me, it’s impossible. The planner is stingy to death; she wouldn’t spend a cent on paid commenters. If we hadn’t filled out the recruitment qualification out of boredom back then, we wouldn’t have believed in a game advertised with such a gimmick. Unexpectedly, it gave us a big surprise. I’m very grateful for that impulsive moment that led me into this game.”
“After this welcoming event, I estimate that the next recruitment qualification will be released soon. If you have patience, you can wait. Once you play this game, you will never regret it in your life.”
Han Tian didn’t need to explain too much; his bullet comments were chaotic every day.
This is what happens when there are many people, and this game will eventually release qualifications again.
However, there would still be some trouble because of the sensational video spread by Zheng Feichang, someone had reported his live stream.
But this news wasn’t that his live stream was banned, but that people from the live streaming website had come to find him.
Because the live stream was causing too much sensation, the website staff feared something might happen, so they decided to temporarily take down Han Tian’s live stream.
Then, a shocking thing happened.
The website staff discovered that they couldn’t shut down Han Tian’s live stream.
Han Tian, live broadcasting from within the game, was completely unaffected and was happily playing his game. In reality, the backstage staff who repeatedly tried to control the live stream to shut it down were sweating profusely, finally determining that unless Han Tian voluntarily logged off and paused the broadcast, they couldn’t shut it down at all.
The website staff quickly reported this abnormal situation to their leaders and had several programmers check what was going on, but none of them found an answer.
A junior leader knew Han Tian, and they were in the same city, so he had to immediately go offline to find him in person.
The news that someone was looking for him in reality caused Han Tian to log off, and his live broadcast naturally stopped.
Han Tian opened the door, and outside stood the website executive, sweating profusely. Han Tian was a bit surprised: “Manager Cheng, why are you here?”
It was this Manager Cheng who had contacted him when he signed some cooperation contracts with the website.
Manager Cheng walked in, panting: “Han Tian, I’m telling you, there’s something wrong with what you’re live broadcasting. We need to inspect your broadcasting equipment, do you mind?”
Han Tian frowned: “Why?”
Manager Cheng immediately said: “You’ve been reported in large numbers, but we found we couldn’t shut down your broadcast.”
They had even considered restarting the entire website server to forcibly shut down Han Tian’s live stream, but the loss would be too great and too sudden, requiring a buffer time.
Manager Cheng was sent to see if there was any problem on Han Tian’s side first.
Was he using some illegal means?
