Ye Shaoyang went to the study, turned on his computer, and entered the contract to read it carefully.
Reading the contract was not difficult for him. In his previous life, he was the captain of the GD team. He had carefully studied the contract from the players to the live streaming platform. After all, some teams would cheat their players, and it was not uncommon for live streaming platforms to cheat their hosts. He was not that naive.
If he wanted to negotiate with the other party, he had to figure out his trump card first.
If his results were bad, he definitely had no right to negotiate.
Ye Shaoyang went online to search for information related to live streaming.
There were three large live streaming platforms in this world: Whale Live, Little Bean Live, and Little Bear Live. This was easy. Even if his negotiations with Whale Live fell through, he still had other options. He would not be banned.
Was it because the people in ABO were generally richer? The viewers who watched live streams were very generous when it came to membership and gifts. Many of the first-rate streamers had fixed membership of more than five million yuan, and they received gifts of several million yuan every month.
The big streamers earned more than celebrities.
It was no wonder that A Yuge took the "black-red" route and scolded professional players to attract traffic.
Ye Shaoyang remembered that when a popular LOL streamer jumped ship to a live streaming platform, his signing fee was over a hundred million yuan, shocking the entire streaming industry. The other first-rate streamers were also worth tens of millions of yuan per year.
The first-rate streamers in ABO definitely earned more than in his world.
Ye Shaoyang opened his platform. There were more than 100,000 new members today, and 90% of these members were probably anti-fans from A Yuge. Spending one yuan to get a membership meant that they supported him in slapping A Yuge in the face. Many of the gifts he received were for his cats. His total income today was about 150,000 yuan.
He definitely could not compare to the first-rate streamers who had millions of members and gave gifts of a million yuan per livestream.
But among the new streamers, his results … were the best, weren't they?!
The manager of Whale Live had called him overnight. Didn't that mean that he was a very promising newcomer? The other party was afraid that he would be poached by other platforms, so they were anxious to sign him?
He looked back at the contract. It was full of loopholes.
The gift split was 4/6, and he would get 40%. He would not get a single cent for the membership fees and operating costs of the website. There was no mention of the signing fee. He was simply trying to get something for nothing.
It was good enough to fool newbies. Lie to him? He was thinking too much.
The requirement for the duration of the livestream was quite high. 240 hours per month, with an average of 8 hours per day. The duration of the contract was three years. Within these three years, he was not allowed to register an account on other live streaming platforms. Otherwise, he would have to pay a penalty of five times his income.
Of course, the platform also gave some promises, such as home page recommendations, the host's personal packaging plan, an independent manager's operation, and so on — these were all words that sounded good on the surface. If you took it seriously, you would lose.
Ye Shaoyang sent a message to Ms. Zhang: "I'm sorry, but I can't accept the terms of the contract."
Zhang Qi: "This is our platform's standard contract template for new streamers in the gaming area. All newcomers are the same. In the future, if you have good results, we can talk about your salary again. "
Ye Shaoyang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it now. It'll be too late if we wait until my results are out."
Zhang Qi turned around and asked the supervisor.
Chen Feiyun said, "Let's see what he says first."
Zhang Qi: "Okay, what are you dissatisfied with?"
Ye Shaoyang quickly typed out three amendments.
"First, since there's no contract fee, we'll split the card fee 50-50 and the gift 60-40. I want 60%."
"Second, I'll only sign for one year. The duration of my live streaming will be changed from 240 hours per month to 180 hours."
"Third, write an additional clause — if the host becomes a certified e-sports professional player in the God War League during the contract period, the platform needs to cooperate with the host's club to terminate the contract. The host doesn't need to pay a penalty."
Chen Feiyun and Zhang Qi looked at each other in shock.
Isn't this newcomer too arrogant?
They had seen so many hosts, and most of them had happily signed after hearing that this was the "standard newcomer contract template." This was the first time they had encountered such a difficult newcomer.
Chen Feiyun frowned. "He's so arrogant. Could he be a guru who jumped ship from another platform?"
Zhang Qi scratched her head in confusion. "Little White? I haven't heard of this host on other platforms. "
Chen Feiyun was silent for a moment. She took her colleague's phone and quickly typed a reply: "The contract period of three years is the company's standard rule for new streamers. It can't be changed casually. Under special circumstances, it needs to be approved by the higher-ups. We'll split the gift 50-50. How about that? Our platform's very outstanding streamers also get 50-50. "
Ye Shaoyang: "I want 60%. I'm confident that I can become a first-tier streamer."
Ye Shaoyang: "You can observe for a few more days. You can make a decision after seeing my live stream results."
Chen Feiyun and Zhang Qi looked at each other in dismay.
60-40%. That was the treatment given to the top streamers of the live streaming platform. How dare he mention it?!
Ye Shaoyang: "I'm going to sleep first. Good night ^ _ ^"
Then, he really went to sleep.
The two girls in the management department were left in a mess.
After a long time, Chen Feiyun looked at the three messages he had typed again and fixed her gaze on the last one. "E-Sports player? Why did he add this additional clause? "
Zhang Qi also reacted. "Generally, streamers don't even consider whether there's a conflict between the team's contract and their own. Could it be that his goal isn't to be a streamer, but to become a professional player?"
Chen Feiyun rubbed her chin and looked at the three modification suggestions again. She said, "He probably wants to become a professional player. Once he signs the streamer contract now, it'll be very troublesome if he can't successfully terminate the contract when he joins a team. That's because the teams all sign contracts with the platform. The team he joins might not necessarily sign with our platform. "
Wasn't this person thinking too far ahead?
The competition between the three domestic live streaming platforms was fierce. The extremely popular professional players in the Alliance usually signed contracts with their teams. In order to compete for the powerhouse teams, the three platforms offered very generous contract benefits.
That was because these god-level players didn't need the platform to help them recommend and attract streams. Instead, they would pull their fans to the platform and help the platform attract huge amounts of traffic. The celebrity effect was quite scary.
A casual live stream by a first-rate professional player in the Alliance could attract tens of millions of fans and haters from Weibo. The gifts in the live stream room could be flooded by fans. The platform even had to urgently increase the bandwidth of their servers to prevent them from being paralyzed.
Zhang Qi suddenly realized. "If his goal is to become a professional player, adding a contract termination clause is reasonable. Otherwise, when he's bound to our platform, it'll be troublesome if his teammates are on other platforms. "
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, not knowing what to do.
After being in the live streaming circle for so many years, this was the first time they'd seen such a confident newcomer. Starting a live stream with the goal of becoming a "professional player", he directly asked for a 60/40 split after signing a contract?
Chen Feiyun thought for a moment and said, "Observe him first and see his strength. In addition, tell the talent scouts sent by the company to the major live streaming platforms to keep an eye on this newbie live streamer at all times to prevent him from jumping ship and going to other websites. "
Zhang Qi nodded. "Understood. I'll send his information to the group right away! "
***
At this time, a group called "God Wars Super God" was bustling with noise and excitement.
There were only about 100 members in this group, and they were all the captains and god-level players of the major teams. Usually, it was mainly used for training matches between teams or to play ranked games. The review for joining the group was very strict.
At night, the night owls in this group would collectively move out, and all kinds of teams would emerge.
Just as the group of god-level players were looking for their teammates, a message suddenly appeared —
[Reporter Zhao]: Damn, damn, damn! I just watched the live stream. A Yuge was taught a lesson by a new live streamer!!
Reporter Zhao's full name was Zhao Xinan, and his game ID was Little Zhao. He was the top laner of the Northern Shepherd team.
He also had a title — the number one troll in the professional league.
He once quarreled with a reporter during a post-match interview and was given a yellow card by the league as a warning. Some time ago, he quarreled with anti-fans during a live stream, and his live stream was blocked for a month.
This Alpha had a fiery temper and offended many people because of his outspokenness. However, his professional level was very strong. Currently, among all the top laners in the league, he ranked first in terms of kills, and his playing style was quite aggressive and violent.
[Zhou Zhou]: A Yuge?
[Zhou Zhou]: That big live streamer who said, "If I win, it's because I'm awesome, but if I lose, it's because my teammates are noobs." [smile.jpg]
[Reporter Zhao]: Captain Zhou's summary is incisive!
[Reporter Zhao]: That's him. Last season, he commentated on the World Competition in the live stream and said that our professional players in the Chinese region were only a bunch of cowards when they were at the World Competition. We might as well let him go.
[Reporter Zhao]: This idiot, I've disliked him for a long time.
Seeing Reporter Zhao's words, many professional players recalled last year's experience.
In the S8 season, two teams from the Chinese region made it to the World Competition, but in the end, neither team won the prize. Just when everyone was feeling down, the streamer, Brother Ah Yu, rubbed salt on the wound and said, "The professional players in the Chinese region are all arrogant. They're usually better than the other in the competitions, but they've become cowards in the World Championship.
There were many anti-fans in the eSports circle who had opinions about them because they couldn't win the World Championship. Brother Ah Yu had attracted the attention of a large number of anti-fans with this famous quote.
This person would do anything for traffic, and his live stream was filled with fights between fans and anti-fans every day. Due to the rules of the Professional League, no one openly quarreled with him, but in private, everyone had disliked him for a long time.
Therefore, after seeing Zhao Xinan's gossip, many experts couldn't help but show up —
[I'm Fang]: A Yuge has a foul mouth, but his gaming skills are okay. How did the new live streamer teach him a lesson?
[I'm Round]: That's right! Don't tell the story halfway and keep everyone in suspense!
[Reporter Zhao]: I'll tell you now!
[Reporter Zhao]: I wanted to know more about the new hero, but A Yuge was livestreaming the teaching of the new hero, [Lord of the Abyss]. I clicked into his live stream and saw the whole process!
[Reporter Zhao]: This idiot said that he wanted to break into the Chinese server, but he bumped into a new live streamer who was also breaking into the Chinese server with [Lord of the Abyss]. The other party stole [Lord of the Abyss] from the first floor, and A Yuge took out his famous hero, [Illusionist], and said that he was going to beat the other party. In the end, he didn't get a single kill from the other party.
[Reporter Zhao]: His face is swollen, hahaha!
[I'm Fang]: Lord of the Abyss?
[I'm Fang]: Have you guys studied this new hero?
[Zhou Zhou]: I'm studying it, but I've been too busy recently.
[I'm Fang]: Captain Zhou, don't you plan to break into the Chinese server?
[Zhou Zhou]: Aren't we preparing to play in the playoffs with you guys? No time. [smile.jpg]
[Reporter Zhao]:???
[Reporter Zhao]: Aren't you guys curious about the new live streamer who beat him up?
[Zhou Zhou]: It's very common for live streamers to beat up other live streamers. Why are you so excited?
[Reporter Zhao]: This new live streamer is not ordinary!
[Reporter Zhao]: I was curious, so I went to watch his live stream. At the beginning of the game, he was definitely going to lose. He commanded his teammates to operate three lines of minions, and in the end, he beat the other party and turned the tables.
[Reporter Zhao]: His [Lord of the Abyss] is top-notch. He has already won the provincial standard.
[I'm Fang]: Provincial standard? The new hero has only been online for two days. So fast?
[Zhou Zhou]: Is it because of the consecutive wins?
[Reporter Zhao]: That's right. He has used [Lord of the Abyss] for 40 games, and his win rate is still 100%.
[Tianheng Shuoyue]: Which province is he from?
[Reporter Zhao]: Mingzhou's number one, combat power 7,300.
[Tianheng Shuoyue]: Do you have a screen recording?
[Reporter Zhao]: Of course, I'm a professional reporter!
[Reporter Zhao] shared a video file in the group.
At first, everyone thought it was just ordinary gossip. It was normal for live streamers to beat up other live streamers, and they didn't know much about the grudges in the live streamer circle. Everyone hated A Yuge. Hearing that he was slapped in the face, they just laughed for a while.
But after that …
100% win rate, Mingzhou's number one Lord of the Abyss?
It was worth paying attention to!
The professional players of the major teams downloaded the shared video file sent by Reporter Zhao.
***
Tianhuan Squad base.
Chi Shuo opened the downloaded video. The interface was the familiar Whale Platform live stream.
Then, he saw a cute white kitten playing with a furball on the sofa.
Chi Shuo: "???"
