Genius Archer’s Streaming Season 1 Episode 115
40. Fierce Negotiation (2)
Fantasia put both hands away, putting the tablet into the bag as if tossing it.
It felt like an attitude of surrender.
Only then did the tense tension calm down to some extent.
“I deleted it. Let’s go up by 2,000.”
Kiya.
Director Oh expressed his admiration before anyone else.
He taps Joo-hyuk on the shoulder.
“That’s amazing! uh?”
“Don’t mention it… haha.”
“I can see why A-seong is doing so well. It’s scary to think that they have so many people like this in their staff. They’re not even from the same group, but it’s scary.”
“… … “A castle?”
The manager of Fantasia looked at Director Oh and asked.
“Ah oh. Both of these guys are from there. Everyone knows this. I did not know?”
“ah… … .”
An expression of disapproval appeared on the manager’s face.
I had no idea about the background.
Actually, do people who work for a salary even look for such things? Director Oh chuckled.
On the other hand, what about that guy named Kim Joo-hyuk who works for the same salary?
The attitude towards work is different. For Joo-hyuk, this work was his life.
For the Fantasia staff, this was just work.
That difference created the current result.
“This person. Tsk. Can I use it if I don’t even know that? By the way, Manager Kim. “How much is possible?”
Phew.
At his question, both Fantasia employees sigh at the same time.
“That… … I definitely agree with what you said. I will raise the price, but… … .”
but?
It seemed as if lasers were coming out of Joo-hyuk and Sang-hyeon’s eyes.
The manager continued speaking while sweating.
“As you might have guessed, unfortunately, I don’t have the authority to make decisions here. I have to go and convince the people who do, but is there some kind of evidence that is a little bit more realistic, like, um… … easy to explain to the employees? That would make it a lot easier.”
Director Oh also nodded from the side.
“That’s right. Sure, the speech was great just now, but it was kind of… … dreamy. You know, that kind of thing doesn’t work in business. Especially up there.”
Director Oh points to the ceiling with his index finger.
“hmm… … .”
Joohyuk was worried.
At this point, I’ve almost got it figured out. How can I drive in another wedge?
At that moment, Sang-Hyeon holds out his cell phone screen.
“How about this?”
“… … ?”
what’s this? Joo Hyuk and Director Oh looking back with that meaning in mind.
“This is my AllTube channel.”
“Um… … Yeah. That’s right. But?”
Knock, knock.
Sang-Hyeon touched the number of subscribers with his finger.
“Fantasia people talked about internal standards. That’s probably based on yesterday’s subscribers. “At that time, it was like 53,000 or so.”
“hmm… … I’m sure so… … ah?!”
Oh, the director, and Joo-hyuk exclaimed at the same time.
Now, the number of subscribers on the screen shown by Sanghyun was a whopping 81,000.
In just one day, the number increased by 30,000.
“What the hell is this… … “Is this possible?”
“Our editor finally uploaded the video this morning.”
No, it wasn’t even a day.
It was a great feat just a few hours after Jia uploaded the video.
“What? You uploaded a video in the morning? You gained 30,000 because of it? What kind of video is that!?”
Oh, Director Oh’s fuss, what? In just a few hours? The Fantasia staff also murmured. They reacted in disbelief.
I was convinced when I saw the title of the video.
[Diamond-Almond EP.1 world record breaking begins!]
[Diamond EP.2 Kimchi Jjigae Mukbang Before Breaking the World Record]
[Diamond EP.3 World Record Breaking!]
Breaking world records.
Because videos containing the moment when history changed were uploaded.
“Did these videos make you get more subscribers? What do you think? Want to watch them together?”
Director Oh asked Fantasia and immediately brought up the screen.
* * *
Chop rock.
The warm sunlight coming in is cut off by the black curtains.
Gia’s room was pitch dark even in broad daylight.

“ha.”
After working all night for about three days, Zia lay down on the bed.
I think it was a good idea to buy blackout curtains as soon as I had money.
Because now I can sleep this well even in broad daylight.
She closed her eyes for a moment and tried to sleep, then immediately raised her upper body.
“ha.”
I rub my eyes and frown.
“How did I end up like this?”
Although it sounded like a lament, it was said with a bitter smile.
“That guy… … What did almonds say… … .”
There was more I needed to check before I could just fall asleep like this.
Actually, you don’t have to do it.
When I think of almonds, I don’t want to pass up anything.
She picked up her cell phone next to the bed.
A bluish light illuminated Jia’s face in the dark room. Even in the dim lighting, he looked tired.
Excited──
My heart was pounding as if I was running.
My body is already dead, but my head is spinning. Is it because I drank too much caffeine?
Or is it because it’s the most elaborate video I’ve ever made?
“Let’s just check the reaction and then go to sleep.”
Jia’s hands trembled slightly as she tried to check the reaction.
* * *
[Diamond-Almond EP.1 world record breaking begins!]
[Diamond EP.2 Kimchi Jjigae Mukbang Before Breaking the World Record]
[Diamond EP.3 World Record Breaking!]
Three videos documenting Almond’s journey to Diamond that day.
That was because the broadcast time was so long that day and there was a lot of content to include.
In addition, as there was a special purpose of breaking the electromagnetic wave record, a new format called ‘Diamond-Almond’ was created and edited.
As this is a new numbering, the editing of these videos is quite different from the previous ones.
That’s why I really wanted to check Jia’s reaction.
She looked at the chat window and waited for it to be revealed for the first time.
-Almonds in the morning? I can’t resist nutritious snacks!
-Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk I decided on almond flakes for breakfast this morning.
-Amon doo doo doo doo~
-Oh, you uploaded it just in time for my commute to work. But why is this the first time it’s been released?
-‘Die’ Almond Regeno lol
-The dog came in early in the morning, but the legend of ’10 minutes before the first public release’…
-Ah, it’s the first time it’s been revealed haha
-I even set the timing of pooping so I could go to the bathroom and see, ’10 minutes before the first release?’ Blah blah… … .
-Wow, I think a video of DIA’s promotion match was uploaded.
-This guy really did it? Then the electromagnetic record was broken?!?
‘Unbelievable.’
Jia felt dizzy.
That’s a huge amount of chat.
Just looking at it makes me breathless. Almonds do this every day.
Once again I feel he is amazing.
Anyway, Jia waited for 10 minutes while paying close attention to the viewers’ reactions.
‘it started.’
Soon, the first reveal began.
* * *
The beginning wasn’t much different from previous videos.
Viewers also recognized that ‘only the numbering changed’, but no one asked why nothing had changed.
In the first place, they didn’t come to see the editing style, but to see Almond compete for diamond promotion.
In the face of the overwhelmingly powerful content of the Diamond Promotion Match, it doesn’t really matter how the editing is done.
That’s why Gia tried to make a little change with this video.
It’s a minor change that doesn’t affect the trend at all. Perhaps dull people won’t notice it, or even if they do, they won’t care much.
The moment they first feel the change in editing is when Almond first shoots his bow.
– Come and shoot.
-Knock knock knock
-I’m tired of big posture.
That is, when the action scene appears for the first time.
Upbeat music with a strong bass began to play, and ‘color’ appeared where the almond moved.
-???
-?! What is that?
-What is this? A mistake?
-Wow, that’s cute haha.
This color followed the main movements in the video, as if someone had written over the video with a pretty colored pencil.
The cute touch of colored pencil followed Almond’s arm as he pulled the bowstring, and soon it was absorbed into an arrow.
And to the sound of the bass sounding towards the climax… … .
Pfft!
-!?
-omg
-and!
-ㅁㅊ
-That’s crazy.
-omg.
A color painted to create distinction in a crowded environment.
An arrow carrying it flies across the battlefield.
A completely different pleasure than before was delivered.
In the crowded armory battle, you had to squint to find Almond’s arrows, or Zia had to change her perspective to see them properly.
Now, the arrow left a trace of intense color as if it were the only protagonist in this wide panorama.
The arrow that traversed countless obstacles and people soon──
Phew!
Target reached.
At that moment, the saturation of the entire screen decreased. It was a monotone screen. After that, the target that was hit by the arrow briefly glowed in the color of the arrow.
While everything had lost its color, the light caught my eye.
It didn’t end there.
A textured ‘X’ mark was drawn on it, as if it had been painted with a huge brush.
It meant dead.
After a brief moment, the world returned to its original color, and the screen showed Almond again.
-and!!!
-I’m tired. It feels like I’m watching some hip action movie.
-It looks even better because you can see the path
-Wow lol, are you crazy about the editing upgrades!?
As if anticipating the positive response from viewers, the music rang louder along with the X sign. The bass came in with increasing speed, breaking the beat.
Almond fired his arrows rapidly, so that it felt completely out of place.
Paang! Paang! Wow!!
A gun that hits hard as if it were fired while listening to music, and a variety of colors are added to it.
For a moment, the screen and music slowed down, and it seemed like I was watching fireworks drawn haphazardly with a brush.
The sparks all struck the foreheads of the enemies.
Bubble bubbling!
Those enemies were also gifted with a giant X.
-Wow!
-What a mess.
-It would be cool if this came out during a sword fight.
-ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ
-I like this concept.
-Holly Tsk
-The diamond promotion match is different from the editing lol wow
-Wow, it’s like a well-made B-grade American movie lol
Good responses poured in one after another.
“thank god.”
A faint smile spread across Jia’s tired face.
After that, she passed out on her bed with the video playing on her phone.
[Subscribers: 59,000]
When she fell asleep, the number of subscribers had already increased by 5,000.
* * *
The moment when Sang-Hyeon hands it over to Director Oh.
[Subscribers: 81,000]
The number of subscribers increased by a whopping 30,000.
“… … Ah, it’s over?”
Director Oh muttered after watching the entire video.
‘What’s wrong with the video?’
It was an honest impression.
Fantasia couldn’t take their eyes off the screen either.
‘It’s more than I thought… … .’
‘Is this kind of quality for an individual?’
In some ways, the quality was higher than the company’s game advertising video.
Sang-Hyeon asked them, who were standing there blankly as if their souls had disappeared.
“How about this?”
“yes?”
Only then does Manager Fantasia emerge from the video, startled, and ask again.
“Yeah, the video is good.”
“I’m not talking about the video.”
Sanghyun asked again, tapping the number of subscribers.
“Is this ‘realistic’ evidence that my future value should be reflected in the present? By the time I walked to sign the contract, that future had already become the present.”
Meanwhile, the number of subscribers increased again and now stands at 83,000.
“The number went up by 2,000 while watching the video.”
“… … .”
What can one say in the face of this overwhelming growth?
just… … .
“I have good news to bring you.”
They answered like this and withdrew.
* * *
“Hey. good job. good job.”
As Fantasia withdrew, Director Oh patted them on the shoulder.
“You two are really no joke, huh? Huh? We came unprepared. How did you do this? Hahaha!”
It was a pretty satisfactory negotiation for Sang-Hyeon and Joo-Hyeok as well.
Since the other side has completely backed down, there will be good news.
They even got lunch from Director Oh and then headed home.
“We’re done… … .”
“is it so. Bye!”
Director Oh went out to see them off and returned to the company.
“Whoa.”
It seemed like the heat from earlier was still in the conference room.
“Young people who are on fire. Hahaha.”
I burst out laughing when I recalled that workshop from earlier.
But soon… … .
Ride, ride, ride. Hop on… … .
Same old, repetitive work.
‘It’s boring.’
A sense of emptiness suddenly struck me.
The feeling of emptiness and depression when you go to a concert and then come back home. That’s kind of what it is.
What the heck is this?
Director Oh lazily leans back in his chair and looks at the sunlight outside the window.
Still, something feels empty.
Tiring!
Then, a notification rang.
[Almond starts streaming!]
“… … hmm? “There are three?”
It looks like the broadcast is turning on early today.
It would be right to ignore it, though.
‘How much has the number of live viewers increased?’
The world record-breaking video gained 30,000 subscribers in one morning.
How much would the live viewers have increased?
I was curious.
fantasy,
