Elvis really wanted to sign Yuying to his own company. Even if she didn't go the wilderness survival route or become a host, with that face she was still a potential cash cow. As long as she didn't commit suicide, she would have a bright future.
In fact, few anchors really treat live streaming as a long-term career, and most of them regard it as a stepping stone.
The competition in the live broadcast industry in the interstellar era is extremely fierce, and the speed of renewal and replacement is much faster than in Qi Guang's previous Earth era. Every three months, a wave of new anchors emerges and a wave of old anchors are eliminated, just like harvesting leeks one after another.
Every year, countless amateurs join the live broadcast circle, and young people who dream of signing a contract with a company and becoming a top anchor are as numerous as stars.
This is another situation where if there is drought, there will be drought and if there is flood, there will be flood. The vast majority of amateur anchors don’t even have the chance to be noticed by the company, while the good ones who are noticed may be fought over by several companies at the same time with various conditions offered.
The replacement of anchors is fast, but a good anchor is enough to make money.
- Enough for the company to make money.
If the top anchors can hold their own until the end amidst the waves of audience choice, their brilliance will be no less than that of the top stars in the entertainment industry.
They may even have an advantage when trying to secure endorsements that match their positioning. After all, every top anchor is grown up in front of the eyes of their fans, and is created with real money and true emotions.
In other words, the ability to sell goods is stronger, and fans are more willing to spend money to buy things for their favorite anchors.
Even if Elvis had never experienced it, he understood the joy of nurturing.
If the person being raised is also good-looking and cute, with beautiful scenery, plush fur, and the sense of accomplishment of farming and building a home...
Even Elvis, a cyborg without any emotions, was moved!
Elvis stretched out his little hand to flirt with Yuying, his future cash cow, and waited nervously for Yuying's answer.
"Company?" Qi Guang stopped cutting the sheep and asked, "What company?"
Qi Guang, who didn't pay much attention to this information before the end of the world and didn't have the opportunity to learn about this information after the end of the world, looked confused about this question.
Qi Guang did know that many internet celebrities were operated by companies and had dedicated teams to produce content and manage fans, but this kind of thing always seemed to be separated from him by a dimensional wall, because although Qi Guang was doing live broadcasts himself, he had never thought about this kind of thing.
Isn’t live streaming something that can be done with just a camera and a platform account
…
Of course not!
Before Elvis could send out the second barrage, the anchor operations director who was disliked by Elvis finally found his account password for the live broadcast platform (fog). Right away, a colorful VIP barrage of comments floated by, and behind the crazy comments were a hundred benefits of the company's operations.
If you are a company, you will have an advertising recommendation position at the forefront of the platform, which will greatly enhance your presence!
If you have a company to connect with, you are more likely to get various advertising endorsements, and you can make some small money!
Some companies also have opportunities to cross over and participate in variety shows, star web dramas, and the popularity and topic level are rising!
Although you have to share profits with the company and fulfill certain business obligations after signing a contract, if the company has a conscience and is willing to support you, then it is definitely a good choice that can only make money and not lose money.
After a bombardment of colorful sugar-coated bullets and flattering words, the operations director hiding behind the vest finally showed his true colors.
If Yingying is interested, Fengcheng Media, Rolls, and Huayu are all good choices. These companies are large and have a good reputation in the industry. They are willing to support new anchors and are not shady shops that just want to make a quick buck and run away.
I heard from my friends at Fengcheng Media that they are paying attention to anchors who are interested in earth-themed content recently. Yingying can follow her and send her a private message. Maybe an agent will come to hook up with her.
Feng Cheng's First-Class Star Program is specially launched for amateur anchors. They have signed cooperation agreements with many brands, and they also have the opportunity to participate in the filming of Feng Cheng's self-made dramas and star network variety shows.
Rolles and Huayu are also good... The development of the anchors is pretty good.
This is another vivid example of #my friend is myself#. The operations director glanced at the changes in Yuying's expression on the light screen and used all his life's skills to paint a big pie.
In order not to make his intentions too obvious, he gritted his teeth and said a few good words to several other companies, which finally earned Yuying's positive response: "I... need to ask (the system) before deciding."
"Immediately! Send a private message to Yuying immediately! Pay attention to the wording! Send it until he replies!" The director jumped up and ordered his subordinates to seize the time and make sure to gnaw on Yuying.
It is one thing that Yuying has the potential to become popular, but the key point here is that the big boss has personally come out to get the words, so how could they not try their best to satisfy such a "small request" of the boss
The operations director touched his bald scalp and thought about trying to watch Yuying's live broadcast before going to bed. It is said that it is very effective in helping you sleep, and only by sleeping well can you grow hair.
Qi Guang was indeed a little moved by the high praise given to him by the signing company.
He had to think about the long term. Although the current increase in points could still meet his needs, in another two months his monthly debt repayment limit would need to far exceed all his current savings.
Judging from Qi Guang's current fan growth rate, relying solely on live streaming without any additional promotion, unless he is really destined to become famous and ride on the popularity of some star-level big shot, he will face a survival crisis of not being able to repay his loans as early as the next month.
Let me repeat here that once he cannot repay the loan, his assets will be frozen by the system, and his physical condition will return to the state before the time travel - he will be bitten by zombies and lose his arms and legs, and can only perform a death on the spot for the audience.
Qi Guang wrote signing with the company into his task list.
If you want to sign a contract with the company, you must first spend points to activate the private message function to obtain a channel for external contact. However, before doing this, Qi Guang is eager to discuss various matters related to the contract with the system.
The most important thing is that if the contract is signed successfully, how will the endorsements, guest appearances, cross-border appearances, etc. that may occur in the future be calculated? Qi Guang carefully read the terms and conditions of the system, and found that activities other than live broadcasts that are related to the anchor himself can also be calculated into the points income.
Although Qi Guang's current situation is special and he cannot personally attend events like the hosts of other live broadcast systems, there is a huge amount of room for maneuver in the Interstellar Era. Qi Guang feels that if he works hard, he should be able to gain some benefits from the system.
Hmm…
For example, if the original price of the private message function is around 1,500 points, you can give him a discount and sell it to him for 500 points
System: Wake up and stop dreaming.
Qi Guang: "Then... five hundred and fifty?"
…
When dealing with the system, your skin will always become thicker and thicker.
As Qi Guang kept bargaining, the system -
Still Qi Guang didn't get any advantage by any points.
Once points are involved, the system becomes extremely petty and ruthless.
However, the system does not operate completely according to fixed rules, but does understand some principles of flexibility.
Its purpose is to assist the anchor to better broadcast and increase popularity. When the anchor is in special circumstances and encounters difficulties that he cannot solve on his own, it can more or less play the role of a golden finger.
The system provided Qi Guang with a plug-in called vx, which was a copycat name and had an interface very similar to the WeChat that Qi Guang was familiar with. As long as he provided the plug-in's ID number to the other party, the other party could access it from any communication device and become a member of Qi Guang's friend list.
Then Qi Guang can use this plug-in to accept the LAN invitation from his friends even without a computer and enter the specific scenario invited by the other party.
This scenario-specific LAN is widely used in the filming of Star Network dramas and Star Network variety shows, and can maximize the scope of business activities that Qi Guang can participate in.
However, because it is a free version provided by the system, the only function of vx is to accept LAN invitations from friends, and the friend list is limited to ten people. If there are more than ten people, one more place will be added for every three thousand points.
Qi Guang: …Okay.
After all, it was given for free by that miserly system. It is not easy to get some benefits from the system.
The only thing missing now is a private messaging function, which would officially open up his communication channel to the interstellar era.
so--
"Really can't it be cheaper? 1499 is fine."
…
The system has chosen to shield the host.
―――――――――――――――――
Savi, the agent of Feng Cheng's anchor operations department, was so moved that he almost cried when he saw that the private messages he sent out every ten minutes with different text each time finally received a reply.
Savi is the gold medal agent of anchor Feng Cheng, and has brought out several top anchors. However, because of his good reputation, wide network of contacts, and well-known mild temper, he has to flirt with new anchors like a young man who has just entered the industry. He is even watched by his boss, his boss's boss, and the company's big boss to flirt with new anchors.
What annoys him the most is that the new anchor didn’t even reply to his message.
It’s amazing that the big boss is your fan!
If Savi was a pufferfish, he would be so angry that he would be like a ball.
But Savi also had to admit that his boss was not a fan of just any anchor. This new anchor named Yuying did have the potential to become famous, such as her unique earth simulation and her face.
Beautiful women have the capital to show off.
The first and second private messages he sent didn't even have a read mark. If it were someone else, Savi would have quit the job on the spot. But after thinking about his boss's cold and ruthless face and watching Yuying's live broadcast for ten minutes, Savi obediently continued to send private messages to Yuying.
A beautiful woman with ability has more capital to show off.
Yuying only replied with a friendly hello.
Savi was so excited that he organized his words and replied to Yuying's message in seconds. Even though it was already late at night, it did not hinder his surging enthusiasm for working overtime.
No matter how much those talkative guys in the department mocked him for cheapening the new anchor and selling his advice to the anchor in the barrage of comments, it was still Savi who successfully signed Yuying in the end!
What does this mean
This shows that you have to be shameless when doing your job! You treat yourself as a shameless tool!
Compared with the bonus he can get from signing Yuying and the expected future profits from this cash cow, giving up his reputation as a gold medal agent is nothing.
Based on his understanding of Yuying from watching her live broadcast on time every day, Savi did not try to ask for an exorbitant price and then ask for a low price. He directly presented the best conditions and future development plans he could offer.
It's true that Yuying has a beautiful face, and the live broadcast theme is a dream-like simulation of the earth, but Savi intuitively feels that Yuying is a down-to-earth person who doesn't care about sentimentality and doesn't like to brag.
Qi Guang expressed his appreciation for Savi's straightforward and somewhat mercenary pricing.
We are all adults now, so it would be nice if we could be practical and not waste each other's time. Qi Guang read the first draft of the contract sent by Savi in a good mood, and gave Savi the bottom line he could accept.
The first is that you cannot interfere with the content of the live broadcast - this is a requirement that many anchors will make when signing a contract.
Apart from this, there is no need to think about participating in offline activities. Even if Qi Guang wanted to go, he didn't have the conditions to do so. Online activities only accept those that use situational simulations of local area networks, and the number of participants cannot be too large.
Qi Guang responded confidently: I have social anxiety.
It is normal to develop social disabilities after living for a few years in the apocalypse, especially in the last two years, when the pressure of survival is high and there are few chances to see living people, so the probability of meeting an enemy rather than a friend is higher.
For Qi Guang, the distance between him and the live broadcast audience is just right. No matter whether the audience likes him or hates him, they cannot get through the star network signal to cause him substantial harm. This makes Qi Guang less lonely and gives him a great sense of security.
If he were to communicate with many people face to face - even if it was face to face in the concept of Star Network, Qi Guang would find it difficult to guarantee that he would remain emotionally stable when seeing many people appear in front of him.
Come to think of it, before the end of the world, he was a lively, outgoing and communicative person.
