40: They're trying to ride the wave of popularity on TV shows, but why is all the attention on the streamer?
After several days of warm-up, it could be said that the Ace Pilot Program Group had already garnered a massive amount of traffic the day before Saturday arrived.
"Director Liao, what do you think about our broadcast plan for tomorrow's program recording, should we stick to what we decided before?"
"This rocket model making competition is full of college kids. I specifically inquired, this is the first model making competition, and the students participating are all newcomers without any manufacturing experience."
"It would be a miracle if the models they build can even take off successfully, let alone compete against our contestants' model aircraft."
A staff member from the program group approached Liao Kun, reporting the information he had gathered.
Liao Kun leaned back in his soft office chair, narrowing his eyes.
"Hmm, speaking of which, we really have to thank that little Streamer named Su Yu this time."
"If it weren't for him, perhaps we wouldn't have had the opportunity to link up with the college competition at all."
"After the recording of this program is completed today, I believe the program group's traffic will see a surge, and by then, our model aircraft stunts will also attract more other viewers."
The staff member chuckled.
"According to your plan, Director Liao, when the opposing team test-fires their rockets, our contestants will also fly their model aircraft, showcasing them simultaneously."
"As for the final display effect, hehehe..."
"I can only say, without comparison, there would be no harm!"
...On the other side.
The official organizers of the College rocket model Making Competition.
As the organizer of the competition, Dami Technology invited a total of twelve universities, with twenty-seven teams participating in the inaugural competition.
And these participating teams were all students from different universities.
The purpose of holding this competition was actually very simple: Dami Technology wanted to support rocket research projects and help select more outstanding talents.
Zhang Jun, as a staff member of the competition's working group, was not very optimistic about this competition.
Because the age limit for contestants was under 24, which meant that most of those who could participate in this rocket model making were students who were about to graduate or had not yet graduated.
What kind of amazing rocket models could you expect a group of students still in school to make?
Therefore, this competition was just an attempt.
"Teacher Zhang, tomorrow's competition schedule has been finalized and organized."
"According to our previous plan, the competition will sequentially display the rocket test flights of each school."
"GPS will also be installed on the models in advance for easy recovery, and the tracking cameras use the company's most advanced technology, ensuring that the audience can clearly see the specific situation of the model going into the sky."
"Is it with that model aircraft program group next door?"
The staff member hesitated for a moment, but still asked the doubt in his heart.
"Teacher Zhang, why did we agree to conduct this competition with the model aircraft program group next door?"
Zhang Jun looked up and said calmly.
"I know that program group; they chase traffic everywhere to grab eyeballs, influencers, celebrities, as long as they can get involved, they will jump in."
"The reason I agreed to work with them is actually to increase the attention on our competition; everyone benefits mutually."
"A commercial variety show, the traffic will only be more eye-catching than a pure competition like ours."
"And incidentally, letting the children see the gap between themselves and others, stimulating them, is not a bad thing."
"When they realize that the rocket models they made are not even as good as model aircraft, those proud children will naturally prepare harder for the next model making competition."
"Thus, a virtuous cycle."
Upon hearing this, the staff member's face showed an expression of understanding.
Teacher Zhang's true intention was not the wine...
Back at the hotel, Su Yu took a refreshing shower and then lay down on the soft, large bed.
Several days of high-intensity model making had been a huge drain on his mental and physical energy, but fortunately, he had finally finished it before the last day.
He checked his system tasks and let out a sigh of relief.
Only 27 hours left until the task is complete!
If everything goes smoothly tomorrow, this third system task should be completed, and he will receive the reward!
He just didn't know what kind of rating he would get this time.
Moreover, Su Yu actually had no idea about the release of the next task. Three consecutive tasks were suggestions from the Streamer's viewers.
The difficulty of the suggestions also increased with the demands.
The first viewer wanted to see firecrackers exploding the dog bowl, Xiao Yuan wanted to see a handmade missile, Professor Tang wanted him to help build a rocket model, so who knew what more difficult thing the next lucky viewer would want to see.
Because of this, Su Yu could only silently pray in his heart, hoping that the next task would be a simpler one, allowing him to relax for a bit.
He opened his phone.
Both the rocket model Making Competition and the Ace Pilot Program Group had already announced the start times for tomorrow's programs on their official accounts.
One was at nine in the morning, and the other was at nine-ten in the morning.
In short, one after the other.
He looked through their video traffic.
The Ace Pilot Program Group was indeed a popular variety show, with recent videos receiving over a hundred thousand likes and comments.
In contrast, the rocket model Making Competition, being a competition aimed at universities, had much lower attention.
The most recent video had less than five thousand likes and comments.
However, in their comment sections, Su Yu discovered an interesting phenomenon. A large number of people were actually discussing him.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, thank you to the program group for arranging it so I can see my Teacher Su in both programs!"
"The person above is also a fan of the Zha Gou Pen Streamer? To be honest, if it weren't to see the Streamer, I wouldn't watch either of these programs."
"Yes, yes, last time the Streamer used a sky rocket to shoot down a drone. What do you think, will the Streamer use a rocket model to shoot down a model aircraft this time?"
"That's hilarious! You really think the Streamer is a drone killer! Rockets are also aircraft! This time, if there's a comparison, it's a battle between aircraft."
"I'm a bit worried about the Streamer. In the rocket model competition, I think the Streamer should be hard to beat. But I specifically looked up model aircraft, and those are like miniature fighter jets!"
"What's there to be afraid of? Tomorrow, just go for it! Anyway, I'm on the Streamer's side! It's been five days, and it's finally going live. Brothers, no matter what, we must support the Streamer tomorrow!"
Looking at these comments, Su Yu suddenly had a strange feeling.
Originally, he came to participate in these programs to gain more attention and traffic. But now he found that the online popularity about him seemed to subtly surpass that of the two competitions themselves.
Didn't they say going on the show would increase popularity? How did it turn out the other way around for him?
