Chapter 212: Employment Response
“He could be considered the first superstar player in arcade basketball, right?”
Several of the responsible organizers gathered together to see the microphones piled in front of Meng Fan. This interesting scene made them all even emotional and even touched some of them.
There were many famous players in arcade basketball, but they were only known within the circle. Outside the sport, nobody knew of them.
Meng Fan was different.
In addition to his god-like shooting skills that allowed him to break the world record six times, he was also a streamer, a manga artist, and a sand artist who performed at the 11/11 gala. Although he wasn’t very famous, at least he was known by people outside the industry!
They were all aware of Meng Fan, for they had watched all his performances in addition to his basketball videos. Calculating it, they couldn’t help but admit Meng Fan’s impact on the marketing and promotional elements of arcade basketball was the equivalent of a city tournament, and maybe even a provincial one!
As for his other identities… Well, it just made the halo on his status as a world record breaker glow even brighter!
The manager of the arcade would completely agree.
“Since he came to our arcade for the Hangzhou tournament, our arcade machines have not rested for a moment. It’s become the most popular game at our arcade.”
There was no need for him to clarify why this was occurring.
“This time around, there are so many journalists! I even got someone to invite journalists from CCTV 5! Today’s promotional materials from the provincial finals are enough to last us the rest of the year!”
One of the organizers stroked his bald head, feeling quite pleased with himself. He spoke to the person next to him, “I think this type of machine used for the competition can be endorsed by Meng Fan! And we can even film the commercial in sand art style!”
“This could work!”
“Let’s go!”
Meng Fan, who was surrounded by a group of reporters noticed Wu Tong speaking to him, which he definitely couldn’t hear, but he could guess what she was saying judging by the form of her lips. Wu Tong then smiled and pointed at her phone, then pointed at Meng Fan before turning to leave.
Wu Tong wasn’t very interested in arcade basketball; she had come specifically for Meng Fan. Since he was done and had won the championship as well, she was off to catch her flight. Her professor Hu Hang, had already messaged her, telling her to arrive earlier at the airport.
Meng Fan knew Wu Tong had to catch her flight to Beijing, but it was impossible for him to escape the hoard of journalists.
Should he wear the hat?
If the journalists and the audience suddenly forgot about Meng fan’s presence and began asking where and who the champion was…It’s too scary!
He finally ended the interviews and picked up his own phone, exiting out of the stream to read the messages of Wu Tong. Her messages were simple: she was off to catch her flight, and she would watch him during the concert and stay in contact.
“Have a safe trip, let me know when you land.”
Meng Fan responded and returned to the stream again, chatting with the netizens before logging off stream.
Today, he streamed once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Since it was a competition, and one that continuously broke the world record, the number of viewers was quite high. His stream had been recommended by 8th Station too, and Su Qing Cen and Bai Zhi had shared several links on Weibo in support of Meng Fan as well. At its peak, he had reached one million viewers, and the number of total views combined had exceeded four million.
Presently, his total number of viewers for the stream was about to reach 80 million!
Indeed, the 11/11 gala brought a lot of traffic to his stream. If this progress were to continue, he could reach 100 million before the next concert!
Meng Fan waved his hand boldly at Zhang Zhou Wei and the others and said, “Let’s go get some dinner!”
“It’s only 4:00 pm, my guy…”
“But I’m hungry! Let’s go, let’s go!”
