Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

It's not the first time.

Relying on the game picture to make it real is becoming more and more uncommon in the field of news and communication. The evolution of game engines and screen performance is constantly confusing everyone's eyes.

Such a thing also happened at the recent World Cup in Qatar. In 2022, with the improvement of Internet convenience, it is now easier for viewers from all over the world to watch exciting pictures and cheer for their favorite teams at the same time, unless--

The live broadcast they saw may not be true.

It also starts with a TikTok blogger named "9amuli". During the opening game of the World Cup, the match between Qatar and Ecuador, the netizen was surprised to see a Youtube link, which was broadcast live under the title "Live World Cup in Qatar". There were as many as 30,000 viewers in the broadcast room, as can be seen through real-time chat, and there are also many Arabic and English netizens.

You know, it's not easy to broadcast the World Cup match. For example, the cost of winning broadcasting rights on AbemaTV, a financial media platform in the next island country, is estimated to be between two and 30 billion yen (equivalent to 1.1 billion to 1.6 billion yuan). And Youtube itself does not have the right to broadcast, how can a small channel have the right to broadcast the game?

In a curious state of mind, 9amuli entered the studio and saw a scene that made him laugh: the so-called "live broadcast", which was watched by 30,000 people, was not a live broadcast at all, but a real-time game picture of Colome's famous football game "Live Football".

In order to make the effect more realistic, the studio deliberately covered the game scoreboard with a screenshot of the real-time score of a web page to ensure that everyone who had just clicked in was confused as much as possible.

The "live" game lasted more than three hours, which is obviously much longer than a normal football match. But maybe it's because the picture is not clear enough, or maybe the people who see the situation only feel that the blogger is working, and no one picks up this strange scene, so that most netizens don't seem to notice anything strange, and the real-time chat refreshes quickly every time they score a goal. every user is cheering.

9amuli was really amused by this scene. In fact, people with a little game experience can quickly judge from the stiff faces and unnatural physical effects in the picture, but apparently few of the more than 30,000 viewers are talking about it.

9amuli recorded what he saw on his mobile phone and posted it on TikTok. The bizarre events and his magic laughter made this short video widely watched. Soon some netizens were ashamed to say that they had been one of the tens of thousands of victims. "I admit I spent a minute for him."

The Youtube channel then temporarily set the video for private viewing, and it is not clear whether it was sanctioned by the platform or simply shunned the limelight.

Some netizens were amused by the cover-up of the manipulators behind the channel, while others were amused by the exposure of the identity of those "fake fans" who had been tricked. In fact, such a situation is certainly not uncommon, at least on Youtube, even though similar "fraud" has been affected to a certain extent after being exposed, the so-called "World Cup live" channels are still "rising" one after another.

For example, 24 hours before the start of Brazil's match against Serbia, you can already watch it live on Youtube, and Brazil is certain to win-even the 2:0 score after that is right.

Viewers in the studio are already cheering for Brazil ahead of time.

A large number of "World Cup videos" were born, often featuring conspicuous Qatari World Cup logos and a live screenshot. If you don't read the FIFA2022/2023 or eFootball at the end of the title carefully, and the inexplicable two-to four-hour broadcast time, it can be very confusing at first glance.

For those who are used to looking for answers on video sites, it does give them a headache because they can't see a serious game replay because of the restrictions on broadcasting rights. Search for "World Cup live" on Youtube and even domestic video sites, and you will find enthusiastic people uploading national commentary versions, but they all have only sound and can't see any official pictures of the game.

Even football bloggers at home and abroad who analyze the game dare not use video clips of the game at will. It is not difficult to see that it does take a lot of effort to enjoy the dividends related to the World Cup fair and square.

But there are always more ways than difficulties. The Real-time Football World Cup cannot entertain the public here, but all football games can be aboveboard on the Internet, so it is reasonable and even touching to recreate the game with the game.

But the problem is that many people don't really use their hearts. A lot of related videos appeared on the Internet when Japan defeated Germany at 2:1 on the evening of November 23. There is a 9-minute highlights of the German-Japanese War on Youtube. From the title to details to Tag, there is nothing related to games, and there have been more than 600000 views in one night. As for the video content, it is naturally a "live football" version of the shining process of the "Light of Asia".

But the mystery lies in the content-although those who have watched the game do not necessarily remember the details of more than 90 minutes, they also know that Germany's goal was scored by a penalty in the first half, but in this parallel time and space, the goal came from an oblique shot in the goal area in the second half.

In short, such videos pay attention to a "consistent result", and even the process is not exactly the same, but it is not known whether it will mislead netizens who do not watch the live broadcast.

In fact, operating game pictures to simulate some situations on the football field has always been an excellent way to create and create a combination of games and football. Whether it is "Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong" or the Galactic warship that crosses the era, it is rare in the Earth Online and can only be realized in the virtual world.

But if you really want to make the most of the creative nature of the football game, the recent channel bloggers who "broadcast" the World Cup in Qatar-- the oil pipe channel that was first pulled to TikTok for "execution"-- have not stopped "live" at all.

On the afternoon of the 23rd, he turned on the live broadcast during the game time and continued his virtual group stage in strict accordance with the course of the day. One game alone lasted live for more than 2 hours, and finally, dozens of minutes after the end of the real game, the score was finally "kicked" in line with the actual score.

But the show is probably coming to an end. Maybe it's because they realize that more and more netizens are being cheated, or that video platforms that don't want to get involved in lawsuits are not going to spoil these channels, at least on Youtube, similar channels and so-called "live videos" without game Tag are disappearing. But obviously, this will not be the last time for the game to "confuse the fake with the real".

Some "World Cup live" have been officially sanctioned. This article comes from the official account of Wechat: game Research Society (ID:yysaag). Author: platinum Isia.
