February 3, 204, New Year's Eve Day.

Douyu announced the successful renewal of the contract with RT everyone, according to insiders, this time Douyu successfully retained the two-time world champion at a sky-high price of more than 50 million.

On the night of Chinese New Year's Eve, RT five people started broadcasting together, attracting nearly 10 million traffic to watch online at the same time.

During the live broadcast, the most concerned issue was whether the team list for the new season and the 50 million renewal fee rumored on the Internet were true.

In this regard, Lin Mu chose to sell Guanzi and did not give a positive response.

First of all, the 50 million renewal fee is obviously impossible, although the e-sports industry has become the most sought-after venture capital outlet this year, with a large amount of hot money flowing in, but Rome has never been built in a day or two, don't look at the second half of the year, all professional players and anchors related to ll have doubled their value, but it is not enough to reach the exaggerated level of 50 million, and all news releases are just to cooperate with the platform publicity.

The so-called Wang Po sells melons and boasts, this kind of thing has long been common in China, including film investment, actors' salaries, singers' salaries and other "gossip" that the people who eat melons are all blowing big, and what is emphasized is a kind of propaganda strategy that takes the lead from the people, and the actual number is often only half of the propaganda draft, or even lower.

In the field of live broadcasting, there is a precedent for this kind of phenomenon, for example, when the anchor Xiaozhi joined Douyu a few months ago, a large number of drafts with a signing fee of 5 million appeared on the Internet, which caused a shock in the e-sports circle, and countless people were moved.

RT renewed the contract with Douyu this time, as one of the bosses of the platform, Lin Mu did not open his mouth when negotiating with Douyu, and finally gave the live broadcast copyright of the entire team in the new year to Douyu at a price of more than 20 million.

It is worth mentioning that of the signing fee of more than 20 million, Lin Mu alone has 10 million, which is almost similar to the sum of the other four, which is calculated by Douyu according to the popularity of the previous live broadcast and the gifts received.

As for the others, UI and Qin Yitian are on par, both of them have a signing fee of about three million, Shu Hao is second, and wool is again.

It should be pointed out that this time to renew the contract with Douyu, Lin Mu deliberately added a clause "Chinese mainland only" to the contract, and the live broadcast copyright outside the mainland was packaged by him to tithtv, that is, the mouse station, for 900,000 US dollars.

On the 3rd, Lin Mu's first live broadcast of the New Year opened an unprecedented dual-platform live broadcast mode under the watchful eye of the public, and it was a transnational model, and the live broadcast content was simultaneously screened on Douyu and Tith at the same time.

On the day of Tith's premiere, more than 300,000 fans from all over the world poured into the live broadcast room just one hour after the broadcast, and it reached a peak of 40,000 two hours later, breaking many records, easily becoming the anchor with the largest number of viewers in a single live broadcast in the history of Tith, several times ahead of the second place.

Even if you count other non-solo live streaming projects, the number of 40,000 tith is terrifying, second only to the S4 Finals and the All-Star Game, ranking third all-time.

You must know that tith is different from betta, there is no moisture in the number of viewers here, even in North America, the most popular big brother usually has 30,000 or 40,000 live broadcasts, and in his previous life, faker's premiere on tith peaked at only 240,000.

The reason why Lin Mu's number of viewers has reached nearly 500,000, almost twice that of Faker, is that many domestic viewers specially used VPNs to support him on the day of his premiere, and the Chinese Simplified in the live broadcast room accounted for almost half of all barrages......

Of course, even in the subsequent live broadcasts, Lin Mu's popularity on the mouse channel has been maintained at more than 200,000, beating many European and American professional players and anchors, and steadily tith the first brother.

It must be said that Lin Mu has done a good job in this step of domestic and foreign distribution, not only maximizing his commercial value and reaping a lot of US dollars, but also truly going abroad and being sought after by many foreign audiences.

On the 8th, a week before the start of the new LPL season.

During the week, all LPL clubs announced their rosters, including RT.

205LPL Spring RT Club List:

Lin Mu (underd)

Qin Yitian (seven)

Jane Pride (UI)

Uehang

Yanga Hu

Liang Xiao Umbrella (san)

Moon View Star (Head Coach)

As expected, as soon as this list was announced, it immediately aroused heated discussions among players, and in just one night, the number of likes on Weibo reached 00,000, and the number of comments also exceeded 30,000, among which the three keywords of "RT list", "small umbrella to join RT" and "RT head coach" all entered the top 50 hot searches on Weibo.

To the surprise of many people, it is not that RT maintained last season's lineup, although some time ago the news of UI's transfer spread in major forums, and even Jane's father made a big fuss about the club on the Internet, after countless versions, but RT is the world champion last season after all, and people with a discerning eye know that UI can only maximize its value by staying in RT, and a rash transfer can certainly make a fortune in a short period of time, but in the long run, it is just a chicken and egg.

Father Jian naturally understands this, the reason why he was so tough in the club last time was just a money word, and after some kind words and persuasion from Xia Zeguang and others, he quickly calmed down, and when he left, he expressed his willingness to make the biggest concession and reduce the price to two million, and said that this was already the lowest price he could accept.

However, this attitude only lasted for two or three days, and when Lin Mu threw a three-million betta live broadcast contract in front of him, this guy's eyes immediately flashed green like a hungry wolf, and he signed the contract without saying a word.

Would you rather have a five-million, or an infinite number of one-millions?

Lin Mu is not bragging, although he can't offer sky-high annual salaries like local tyrant clubs such as I and G, he can win the biggest live broadcast contract for the players, and at the same time have the most lucrative commercial income.

Through the wonderful performance of S4, UI has accumulated quite high popularity, but it is just on par with Qin Yitian, far inferior to Lin Mu, which is also based on the fact that his ID has a "RT" prefix, once this prefix is missing, its commercial value will inevitably be greatly reduced.

Everyone knows that the current e-sports circle is almost completely dominated by RT fans, and the scale of the number is unprecedented, and no one dares to blame it.

It is worth mentioning that the prefix of the former G team AD player Liang Xiaoyu in this list has also been changed to RT, becoming one of the six-person group.

In fact, after returning from South Korea, Lin Mu sent someone to contact Xiao Umbrella, and quickly reached a transfer intention with the club's reputation.

Many times, having money can't do whatever you want, you can't do it with strength.

G didn't dig up the UI, but he lost a general.

The so-called lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, but that's it.
