0025 Live Theme: Wearing Shennongjia alone
Since Douyin Company pushed Chen Yue's video works, the number of likes for Chen Yue's Bo python and wolf fighting works has risen rapidly at an unprecedented rate.
The strong push time is only 20 minutes, and the number of likes of both works has exceeded 10 million, and the growth rate is getting higher and higher. At that moment, Chen Yue's work officially became a phenomenal work. The name Xinghuo began to appear on the pages of some self-media and small portals.
It was also from that moment that the ID of Xinghuo officially became the object of close attention of major short video companies. These short video companies have mobilized their own relationships within Douyin, hoping to get relevant information about Xinghuo, at least to be able to get a phone number.
It's a pity that Mr. Gui had already done a good job of keeping Chen Yue's information confidential when he ordered Chen Yue's works to be forced. Other companies can only watch as the ID of Xinghuo becomes more and more popular and becomes more and more popular, but they have nothing to do and are not allowed to enter.
By this morning, the name Xinghuo has not only become a hot search word on the Internet, but has even appeared on some regional TV platforms.
Zhou Hong and Delph were able to quickly get Chen Yue's information, and that situation was quite special. Zhou Hong took the upper channel, and Delph took the foreign affairs channel, and both agreed to the request of Douyin Company to keep it secret for the time being.
For others who want to get the Spark phone number from Douyin Company, Douyin Company is all respectful.
Other short video companies can only watch the cash cow of Xinghuo continue to increase in value and cannot be contacted, not to mention how uncomfortable it is.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the number of likes for Chen Yue's works officially exceeded 100 million. Countless Douyin users not only left countless beautiful words in the comment column of Xinghuo's works, but also left messages on the official website of Douyin to ask if Douyin has signed Xinghuo, when Xinghuo will start live broadcasting, and what will be the theme of Xinghuo's first live broadcast.
The focus of the public's attention is the direction of the media's efforts. Many media reporters have gathered in the public relations department of the headquarters building of Douyin, hoping to get first-hand information about Xinghuo on the Internet and in reality as soon as possible.
"This Xiaoliu, why hasn't Chen Yue been done yet? Whether it is success or failure, I will reply to it. It also gives us an account of the public who cares about it. After dealing with the questions from the Public Relations Department in a vague manner, Minister Ou ran to President Gui's office, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said very complainingly.
Mr. Gui smiled bitterly. He knew what Minister Ou meant. Minister Ou is here to inquire about the progress of the situation on the Linhai side.
But he couldn't help it. He had called several times, and Liu Yinyin replied that he was communicating with Chen Yue. When asked about the specific situation, she was vague. Mr. Gui couldn't wait to appear on the Linhai side immediately to see what happened to Chen Yue.
Since Chen Yue has the intention of engaging in live broadcasting, the rest of the matter is just a sign condition, so what's so difficult about this? At most, Chen Yue's share requirement may be a bit high. What's the big deal about this? After studying it, as long as Chen Yue's request is not too excessive, he can agree to it. Special talents have the right to request special treatment.
There has been no specific statement for so long, could it be that Chen Yueti's request is really outrageous, so that Xiaoliu has been doing work for him?
How did Mr. Gui know that Chen Yue's request was not just outrageous. If you really want to sign the contract according to Chen Yue's requirements, it will simply subvert the conventions of the live broadcast industry. That's why Liu Yinyin is so embarrassed, that's why the time has dragged on for so long.
Linhai branch of Douyin Company.
"Chen Yue, you really didn't say this because you were not satisfied with the sharing ratio? Are you really only playing this once?" Liu Yinyin frowned and asked Chen Yue again.
"Yes. Sister Yinyin, it's really not a matter of sharing ratio. Playing only once is indeed my true intention. So I can't sign this contract. I know it's going to embarrass you, but I don't want to embarrass myself either. Chen Yue said seriously.
Through Xiaoqian, Chen Yue is not lacking in understanding the conventions of the live broadcast industry. He knew that his idea didn't fit into the usual operating conventions of the live streaming world. The live broadcast company has a certain binding force on each of its contracted anchors, otherwise the packaging costs and operating costs spent by the live broadcast company on this anchor are likely to be in vain, let alone relying on this anchor to create benefits for the company.
However, Chen Yue hopes to sign a contract of equal cooperation with Douyin Company as a natural person. The so-called equal cooperation means that Chen Yue, as a freelance anchor, can cooperate with Douyin if he wants to cooperate with Douyin Company, and broadcast live several times if he wants to, but Douyin Company cannot limit Chen Yue to only cooperate with Douyin Company, and cannot require Chen Yue to broadcast live many times within a certain period of time.
To be honest, Chen Yue's idea is not realistic at all from the perspective of normal economic laws. After all, Douyin Company is a trillion-level giant company, and it is impossible to let a certain master playback go to this extent. No matter how big the anchor is, no matter how much benefit the anchor can bring to the company.
Liu Yinyin, as a senior employee of Douyin Company, naturally did not agree with Chen Yue's idea. She has always laid out the facts, reasoned, and painstakingly persuaded Chen Yue to change her concept.
Chen Yue had no choice but to confess to Liu Yinyin that he only wanted to play the live broadcast once and then stopped. This made Liu Yinyin stunned and difficult to accept.
Seeing that Chen Yue does not seem to be a fake, Liu Yinyin has to believe it if she doesn't believe it. She said she couldn't figure it out and had a hard time understanding.
In Liu Yinyin's view, Chen Yue has a great probability of becoming a phenomenal figure in the field of live broadcast jungler. At that time, it will not be too difficult to earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year with live broadcast reward income plus advertising endorsement income. That's much better than his income from scientific research. Although this income level is still far less than Li Qian, it is enough for Chen Yue to straighten his waist in front of Li Qian.
But what does Chen Yue mean by only playing once?
Of course, it was impossible for Chen Yue to tell Liu Yinyin the truth. He decided that if he really couldn't get along with Douyin, he would go it alone.
He started his own shell live broadcast platform, and he was in charge of everything. With his strong popularity on the Douyin platform, as long as the news is released, there will not be many fewer people who come to his platform to watch his live broadcast. Anyway, he didn't have any expectations in terms of live broadcast reward income, mainly to promote the rare herbs he would get to the outside world.
For Chen Yue now, after efficiently learning the ultra-modern electronic programming technology for nearly half a month, he can build a powerful live broadcast platform from scratch in minutes. It costs almost nothing. Then spend 8,000 to rent a cloud server to deal with it temporarily.
He doesn't need to think about traffic congestion during live streaming. Because the rented cloud server is just a superficial job, the real central server is Xiaoqian. If you want to make Xiaoqian card machine, hehe, it may not be possible to add up all the traffic on the earth at present.
So, it's a very simple thing to do.
But that was the last helpless move. Under the circumstances, Chen Yue did not want to show too much specialness, so as to attract special attention from the outside world.
Liu Yinyin persuaded Chen Yue many times to no avail, so she had no choice but to give up. The head office has been urging her several times, and she has to report the progress of the negotiations to the head office.
......
"What? How could Chen Yue have such a request? Did he think this was child's play?" After listening to Liu Yinyin's report, Mr. Gui couldn't help but exclaim.
Mr. Gui finally waited for Liu Yinyin's report, but what he got was such an incredible answer. Suddenly 10,000 alpacas roared through his heart.
"You stabilize him first, and we'll have a meeting right away. Mr. Gui settled down and said to Liu Yinyin.
Originally, for Chen Yue's 'unreasonable' request, Douyin Company would refuse without even thinking about it. If you really want to agree, won't it encourage the unhealthy trend of long-term streamers?
If the big-name anchors of all live broadcast platforms follow Chen Yue's example, how can the live broadcast company mix?
At this time, Mr. Gui regretted that he was impulsive last night, and provided Chen Yue with two hours of forced push time without determining Chen Yue's attitude. These two hours have brought Chen Yue huge attention, and they have also put Douyin Company in a relatively embarrassing situation now. If Chen Yue's request is categorically refused, Chen Yue can cooperate with other platforms with the 'gift' of Douyin Company.
It's hard to guarantee that any other live broadcast company won't agree to Chen Yue's 'unreasonable' request, especially those live broadcast companies that have just been established, and they won't think too much about industry rules at all.
Then the Douyin company has become the standard 'accompanying the lady and breaking the soldiers'!
Mr. Gui naturally didn't want to make this kind of mistake, so he said to Liu Yinyin, 'I want to have a meeting to discuss'.
......
"You know, you've got a huge problem for our company. However, the company is willing to meet to discuss your request, and you are proud enough. Liu Yinyin put down the phone and said to Chen Yue with admiration.
"Sister Yinyin, I didn't mean it. I really have a hard time......" Chen Yue was a little embarrassed.
"Okay, okay, I know you have a problem, but it's inconvenient to say yes, right?" Liu Yinyin interrupted Chen Yue's words, and gave Chen Yue a seductive glance by the way.
Chen Yue smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"The company told me to stabilize you. You're not going to run away all of a sudden, are you?" Liu Yinyin said jokingly.
"How can I be? Without Sister Yinyin's permission, I won't leave. Chen Yue said with a smile.
"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say......"
The two chatted for a while.
About half an hour later, Liu Yinyin received the latest contract terms from the head office.
"Chen Yue, you really can. The head office has really given in to you. You look at the new contract terms. Liu Yinyin hurriedly read the news, and pushed her hand in front of Chen Yue in surprise.
Chen Yue watched it seriously.
In the new contract terms, Douyin still requires Chen Yue to admit that he is a contracted anchor under Douyin, and the contract is still valid for three years. However, in response to Chen Yue's special request, a 'special understanding clause' was added to the contract. The new terms of understanding indicate that because of Chen Yue's strong personal request, Douyin Company does not stipulate the topics and number of live broadcasts during the validity period of the contract, and everything is decided by Chen Yue himself. Except for the requirements for Chen Yue's code of conduct in the live broadcast industry, such as not publishing works on other platforms and harming the interests of Douyin, Douyin Company does not have any restrictions on other things for Chen Yue.
Such a contract can not only meet Chen Yue's special requirements, but also not too bad the rules of the live broadcast industry.
Chen Yue's heart was settled. That's what he wants. As for the question of whether it is the anchor of Douyin, he didn't pay attention to it at all. This point may be important to other anchors, but for Chen Yue, it is completely false.
"Chen Yue, are you still satisfied with such a clause?" Liu Yinyin asked Chen Yue.
"Satisfied, I'm satisfied. Chen Yue nodded.
Chen Yue knew that such a contract clause was already the best result he could get at this stage. If he's not satisfied, he'll really have to go it alone.
"The company means that the contents of the contract are kept secret for the time being. After all, this contract is somewhat against the rules of the industry. ”
"Well, that's what I mean, keep it a secret. ”
"That's fine. We're going to print it out now, sign it and stamp it?"
"Yes. ”
At 11 o'clock in the morning, the official website of Douyin Company released a message: Congratulations to Mr. Xinghuo for officially signing a contract with the company and becoming an official anchor of Douyin.
This news made many live broadcast companies that were desperately jumping down immediately, and also made many users who like to watch jungle live broadcasts overjoyed.
These users immediately left a message on the official website, asking when Xinghuo's first live broadcast was opened, what the theme was, etc.
At 11:20 a.m., Douyin's official website announced again: Xinghuo will start its first webcast on September 17 this year. Live theme: Alone through the core area of Shennongjia!
The network immediately boiled.
