Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 277 The Troubles of Happiness
In a quiet residential area in Shanghai, Zhou Shuyi, a girl with blond hair and a slightly immature face, was looking at her entrepreneurial achievements with a look of regret.
The unsaleable clothes that filled the entire rental house made Zhou Shuyi's already poor financial situation even worse.
"Ah!! Why is it so difficult to start a business!" Zhou Shuyi grabbed her hair and roared, which was completely different from her cute and lovely image in the "Game Storm" channel.
Not long ago, Zhou Shuyi gave up her "iron rice bowl" as a staff editor at the "Game Storm" channel and naively plunged into the blue ocean of entrepreneurship.
In Zhou Shuyi's opinion, thanks to the show "Game Storm", she has become a well-known celebrity in the e-sports circle. Coupled with the experience accumulated from her background in a girl group, this business must not be difficult.
After all, Miss, who also came out of this show, is now doing very well in the live streaming industry. She has accumulated a fortune of tens of millions just by selling goods through video commentary.
Not to mention live streaming. It is said that the signing fee alone is as high as 12 million. The title of "No. 1 Goddess of E-Sports" is well-deserved. She can be said to be a glamorous winner in life.
Zhou Shuyi was naturally very envious of this, and couldn't help but be eager to try it out, and she had the idea of "I can do it too".
Therefore, Zhou Shuyi, who was only 22 years old, got excited and started her own entrepreneurial journey with her friends, focusing on both live streaming and selling goods, and she wanted to do both well!
However, ideals are always full, but reality is particularly skinny.
The unsaleable clothes piling up in the rental house are the best proof of this. Not to mention live streaming, she is not the famous Sister Zhou yet, let alone the number one sister on the platform. Naturally, her popularity in live streaming is not that high.
There is no such thing as easy success. It's just that the effort and investment behind it are unknown to everyone. Only by doing it yourself can you understand the hardships involved.
The reason why Han Yiying can be so successful on the live streaming platform is closely related to her experience as an e-sports player and a well-known commentator.
Coupled with the hard work of the teaching video "Miss Ranking Diary", the ID "MISS" has been successfully injected with a solid mass base. With the continuous fermentation of traffic, it has gained its current popularity and heat.
The title of "No. 1 Goddess of E-Sports" is not earned just by appearance. It would be too presumptuous to attribute her success entirely to her appearance.
In comparison, Zhou Shuyi's appearance is naturally good given her background in a girl group. Her cute, pure and generous commentary style has left a deep impression on many game players.
However, compared with Han Yiying, her experience in commentary is still slightly weak. Even if she is eager to monetize, her ability to do so is very limited.
What's more, Zhou Shuyi chose to sell women's clothing. Even if fans wanted to make impulse purchases, they would be powerless. It is impossible for them to buy it and give it to their girlfriends, right?
After all, the prerequisite for giving something to your girlfriend is that you have to have it first.
Zhou Shuyi understood, but not completely. At this moment, the ringing of the cell phone interrupted Zhou Shuyi's thoughts. She saw that it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who is this?" Zhou Shuyi was in a bad mood and spoke in an unfriendly tone, thinking it was a harassing call.
"Hello, is this Ms. Zhou Shuyi? I am the administrative specialist of Qihuang Media..." The voice on the other end of the phone introduced himself, which made Zhou Shuyi excited.
Oh no, there is always a way out. Is this a chance to survive?
"Hey, hello, I am." Zhou Shuyi's tone immediately softened, and she put on a cute and lovely face to show to the outside world. It can be seen that Zhou Shuyi still has a little idol burden at this time.
"We at Qihuang Media noticed your excellent performance as a commentator on the "Game Storm" channel, and you chose to resign not long ago. I wonder if you are still interested in being an e-sports commentator now..."
As the executive officer of Qihuang Media spoke, Zhou Shuyi couldn't help but show her joy. She had just started her business and encountered many setbacks, but now a company came to her and offered an olive branch.
This is like giving you a pillow when you are sleepy. It comes at the right time!
“Although I left Gaming Storm, I have not left the game commentary industry. I have always been passionate about e-sports, but I still have a lot to learn…”
Zhou Shuyi thought about it and racked her brains to come up with a few polite words, but it was really difficult for her.
"That's okay. We at Qihuang Media have a professional e-sports academy that can provide professional e-sports commentary training. We also have a series of professional commentators, such as Ren Dong, Xie Yitong, Xiaoxiao and Xika..."
The administrative specialist of Qihuang Media knew everything about the company, and the word "professional" was always mentioned in every three sentences. With the support of a series of celebrities under its umbrella, it was indeed very convincing. At least Zhou Shuyi was moved after listening to it.
After entrepreneurial practice, Zhou Shuyi also realized her shortcomings in the e-sports circle. If she wanted to make up for this shortcoming, the best thing to do was to choose a suitable platform and concentrate on studying.
Moreover, Zhou Shuyi was not unfamiliar with the company Seven Emperors Media. It was indeed a well-known company in the industry. Compared to the declining "Game Storm", joining the rising Seven Emperors was a good opportunity.
"Okay, I'll think about it. I'm in Shanghai now. Once I've thought it through, I can go directly to the company ..." Zhou Shuyi said tactfully. She called it "considering", but in fact she was already tempted.
"Okay, I'll send you the company's address and phone number later. You can contact me at any time when you have thought it through..." The administrative officer also heard the implication of Zhou Shuyi's words and said in a refreshing tone.
After hanging up the phone, a text message was sent to Zhou Shuyi's mobile phone, which was naturally the company address she sent.
Looking at the address on her phone, Zhou Shuyi shook off her depressed look and said excitedly, "Returning to the commentary desk will be the time for me, Zhou Shuyi, to make a comeback."
As soon as she finished speaking, the phone rang again. Zhou Shuyi, in a good mood, looked at the unfamiliar number displayed on the phone and didn't care.
After answering the call, she said in a sweet voice: "Hello, I'm Zhou Shuyi." Her attitude was completely different from before.
"Hello, Miss Zhou, I'm the executive manager of Yangcheng Little People Media..." Zhou Shuyi was a little confused when the person introduced himself.
What's going on! Is there something wrong with me that I don't know about?
How else could a small commentator like me suddenly become so popular that two media companies came to me one after another? Even well-known commentators or big anchors in the industry would only receive this kind of treatment, right?
"Hey, hello, hello..." Zhou Shuyi said flattered.
"Our boss is very optimistic about your potential and wants to make you our company's top female anchor, thus filling the vacancy in our company's female anchor..."
"As for whether our company has the ability to do this, Ms. Zhou, as someone in the e-sports circle, should be familiar with Saozhu, Curly Baboon, Xiao Sima and others. These people are all anchors under our company..."
"If Miss Zhou is interested in joining us, the round-trip travel expenses and hotel accommodation will be reimbursed by us. At the same time, the company will also provide corresponding subsidies for live broadcast equipment and other consumables..."
Zhou Shuyi was a little dazed after listening to this. Is it really possible that pie falls from the sky?
