Of course, Pei Qian knew that Zhao Xuming's suggestion was definitely not meant to help Bunny Tail Live-Stream. However, objectively speaking, it had helped Bunny Tail Live-Stream absorb popularity from other platforms.
This time, his good intentions turned into bad things!
However, the vice presidents of the other live-streaming platforms would soon discover the problem of the 30-second delay, right?
Pei Qian's phone rang just as he was thinking. It was Chen Yufeng.
He looked at the time and picked up the phone. "There's still more than ten minutes before you get off work. Hurry up and tell me."
Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment before he said, "Alright, Boss Pei. It's like this, Zhao Xuming just called us to discuss the cancellation of the 30-second delay … "
"Zhao Xuming said that he would find a way to give us some other benefits as compensation …"
Obviously, after Zhao Xuming communicated with the vice presidents of several platforms and understood the seriousness of the 30-second problem, he immediately called Chen Yufeng.
He had to be anxious because most of the Vice Presidents of the other platforms were burning with anxiety!
This group of spoilers was especially tenacious. Even if the super administrators banned them one by one, they still wouldn't be able to completely ban them. Just two or three spoilers on the bullet screen could affect the viewing experience of the entire livestream. It was extremely speechless.
Moreover, it was not easy to set up blocking words. Who knew how they would spoil the game?
Therefore, if the thirty-second delay was not changed, there would always be a portion of the audience who would flow to Bunny Tail Live-Stream because of the viewing experience.
The Vice Presidents of the other platforms were very anxious and kept urging Zhao Xuming. Naturally, Zhao Xuming was also very anxious.
Chen Yufeng said, "Boss Pei, this is what I think."
"Let's argue with them for a week or two first."
"We'll discuss this with them when the popularity has been absorbed by Bunny Tail Live-Stream. Many viewers who came to Bunny Tail Live-Stream would have formed a habit."
"Or we can just reject them directly. After all, we are strictly following the contract. If we change the contract, it's our duty. If we don't, they won't have anything to say."
Pei Qian was instantly unhappy. According to Chen Yufeng, this would allow Bunny Tail Live-Stream to accumulate more popularity!
However, Chen Yufeng's words were also the best solution from the standpoint of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. It would be too stiff and unreasonable if Pei Qian asked Chen Yufeng to cancel the 30-second clause.
He had to think about it from a different angle.
Pei Qian asked, "Zhao Xuming said that he would give us some other benefits as compensation. What exactly is it?"
Chen Yufeng said, "Zhao Xuming said that he can give Bunny Tail Live-Stream unofficial commentary rights."
"To be more specific, in addition to broadcasting the official live broadcast, we can also organize our own people to commentate on the game, review and analyze the game, and produce various other derivative programs."
"Apart from us, no other live streaming platform has this privilege. Consider it our compensation."
Obviously, this was the most reasonable compensation that Zhao Xuming could give within the scope of his authority.
If money was used to solve this problem, it was hard to say how much money it would cost. What's more, Zhao Xuming would not use Long Yu Corporation's money to fill the hole. He would not do that even if he was out of his mind.
On the other hand, the unofficial commentary rights were not that important. It could only be considered icing on the cake for Bunny Tail Live-Stream. If the other platforms only broadcasted the official commentary, as long as the time was consistent, the audience's viewing experience would be guaranteed.
Therefore, Zhao Xuming gave a condition that both parties could accept within the scope of his authority.
Of course, from the perspective of Bunny Tail Live-Stream, a thirty-second delay would definitely be better. If Chen Yufeng were to choose, he would definitely choose a thirty-second delay.
To Pei Qian, this was a very pleasant surprise. Zhao Xuming's suggestion gave him a good way out of this embarrassing situation!
Pei Qian coughed lightly and said, "We accept this condition and change the contract."
Chen Yufeng was stunned. "Huh? Boss Pei, even if we want to accept it, we should delay it for a few days and let the popularity change … "
Pei Qian shook his head. "There's no need for that. It's convenient for others and convenient for ourselves. There's no point in falling out with Long Yu Corporation and all the live-stream platforms for a little popularity. Why don't we take advantage of the situation and sell them a favor?"
"What's more, the unofficial commentary rights are not bad."
Chen Yufeng felt that Boss Pei's attitude seemed more determined. He could only nod and say, "Alright, Boss Pei. I'll answer Zhao Xuming now."
"However … their attitude is more urgent. I hope it will change within this week. Just in case, can I apply for overtime? I might have to be a little busy this weekend whether it's changing the contract or doing the unofficial commentary. "
Pei Qian pondered for a moment. "Sure, remember to take overtime pay. Also, try not to work overtime if you can. "
Chen Yufeng: "Alright, Boss Pei. I know what I'm doing."
Pei Qian could not help but heave a sigh of relief after hanging up.
This Bunny Tail Live-Stream really gave him a little shock every now and then.
He should have suffered a loss this time if he used the unofficial commentary rights to exchange for the previous thirty-second delay, right?
After all, most people still had to watch the official commentary when watching the competition. Fans of some live-streamers might like the unofficial commentary, but they were a minority group after all. They would not be too popular.
Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was time to get off work. The time was perfect.
Thus, he packed his things and prepared to leave the office. At the same time, he took a look to see if anyone was trying to work overtime and chase them away.
He would make arrangements for the snack market tomorrow morning. This week would be a perfect end!
…
On the other side, Chen Yufeng also called Zhao Xuming to reply to this matter after work.
Zhao Xuming was very happy, especially when he heard that Boss Pei was so generous. He was even more grateful.
At first, Zhao Xuming had thought that he might have been tricked by the two old foxes, Chen Yufeng and Boss Pei. He had inexplicably taken the blame. However, from the looks of it, it was a complete misunderstanding!
Boss Pei did not have any intention of tricking him. This was completely inconsiderate.
That way, Zhao Xuming felt a little apologetic. After all, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Bunny Tail Live-Stream had suffered a loss by exchanging an unofficial commentary rights for a thirty-second delay.
However, Zhao Xuming really did not have any other compensation that he could offer. He could only keep this matter in mind and talk about it when the time was right in the future.
Zhao Xuming quickly called the other live-stream platforms to tell them the good news.
The Vice Presidents of the other platforms, including Zhu Yan, were also very surprised by this outcome.
Why did Boss Pei agree so readily? He did not ask for too much?
Putting themselves in Boss Pei's shoes, everyone felt that they would definitely not agree so readily if they were in Boss Pei's shoes.
He would have to drag it out for at least a week or two to earn some popularity for nothing, right?
At the same time that they felt that Boss Pei was unpredictable, everyone finally heaved a sigh of relief. The blame that Zhao Xuming carried on his back had finally been removed.
Of course, Zhao Xuming also added fuel to the fire. He emphasized his important role in this negotiation to the Vice Presidents of the various platforms.
The other Vice Presidents thanked him profusely on the surface, but in fact, they were scoffing in their hearts. There were only a few calls in total. What role could Zhao Xuming play? Did he really think that he was Su Qin's reincarnation?
Boss Pei must have been magnanimous and sold them face. That was why this matter could be resolved so smoothly!
Next, the various platforms had to hurry up and change the contract. Then, the thirty-second delay could be cancelled when the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail Live-Stream was almost done.
What's more, the real-time data function that Long Yu Corporation was developing could be released as soon as possible since the broadcast time of the various live-stream platforms had been unified.
…
It was time to get off work after calling Zhao Xuming. Chen Yufeng prepared to go home.
He still subconsciously began to think about the ICL league's unofficial commentary even though he had gotten off work.
"Boss Pei agreed very straightforwardly. What's more, Boss Pei seems to think that the unofficial commentary rights are about the same as the thirty-second delay?"
"It looks like Boss Pei is very interested in this unofficial commentary rights. I have to prepare even more!"
There were actually many details that had not been finalized regarding the unofficial commentary rights.
For example, should he use the official OB's perspective for the live-stream, or should he just OB the game himself?
The OB in the competition was a very professional job. The staff in charge of the OB had to have a very high understanding of the game. They had to be able to see the various details that were happening in the competition and display them. That way, the commentator would be able to notice some details that the audience could not see.
What's more, the person in charge of the OB had to have certain skills and techniques. Only experienced people could be qualified to cut the screen, move the screen, display from multiple perspectives, and so on.
The audience would only be able to obtain the best viewing experience by displaying all these details.
If he wanted to save trouble, he could just use the muted version of the official OB screen. Bunny Tail Live-Stream could produce two commentators. However, if he wanted to make it more different, he could request to enter the official competition room directly to watch the battle and observe freely.
The latter might be more troublesome than the former, but he had given Zhao Xuming face this time after all. Zhao Xuming would definitely agree as long as he raised it.
Chen Yufeng pondered for a moment. "We have to do our best since we're going to do it."
"We might as well take care of everything from OB to commentary to post-match analysis."
"Hmm … I'll have to ask the E-Sports Department for someone then. FV Club might have a suitable candidate for the commentator. "
Tengda's E-Sports Department was filled with talents. The GPL league had been organized for so long and could be considered to have accumulated a lot of experience. It should not be a problem to get two professional OB's and a few staff members.
As for the commentator, he definitely had to find someone with a deep understanding of IOI. FV Club's Team One wanted to compete, but it was not a bad idea to find two older, declining, and eloquent people from Team Two or the coaching team to commentate.
Apart from professional players doing analysis of the competition, he also had to find a professional controller from the GPL to guide the topic of the two professional players to prevent them from going astray.
Chen Yufeng made up his mind to look for Zhang Yuan tomorrow and ask him for a few reliable people to be in charge of the ICL league's unofficial commentary. He would go to FV Club again this weekend to see if there were any good seedlings in Team Two who could be commentators.
Tomorrow was Friday. There was no focus battle. However, the ICL league competition on Saturday and Sunday also had highlights. Chen Yufeng's goal was to arrange for the ICL league's unofficial commentary before Sunday as much as possible. He would release the unofficial commentary to test the waters during Sunday's focus battle.
