Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 278 Persistence and Hope
The two major media companies, Qihuang Media focuses on professional commentary, while Xiaorenwu Media focuses on the anchor business. Judging from the "muscle show" of the two companies' personnel, there is no doubt that the two companies are leaders in their respective fields and have many talented people under their umbrella.
But comparing the two, Little People Media seems to be more attractive. After all, how can a well-known commentator be as convincing as a big anchor worth over 100 million?
Although the words "fame and fortune" have always been complementary to each other since ancient times, if you can only choose one, "fame" is not as attractive as "profit", not to mention that the latter obviously has both.
Who wouldn't want it all if they could?
This "happy trouble" made Zhou Shuyi a little dazed for a moment. How could she have deserved the attention of two media companies at the same time?
At this moment, Zhou Shuyi couldn't help but fall into a difficult decision, as if she was standing at a fork in the road of life, looking at it, left or right? This is the question.
At this moment, for Zhou Shuyi, this problem is as difficult as choosing between Tsinghua University and Peking University. Although, even if she chooses it, it does not necessarily mean that she can become a phoenix flying to the tree. After all, a good blacksmith must have strong tools.
But who doesn’t have some delusions deep down in their heart?
"Well, let me think about it..." Zhou Shuyi did not show favoritism and politely said she would consider it. After exchanging a few pleasantries, she hung up the phone.
When you are in doubt, it is also a good idea to seek advice from professionals.
Zhou Shuyi looked through the address book on her phone, picked out a number, hesitated for a moment, and then called it.
"Hello... Sister Han! Hello, hello, I'm Shuyi. Sorry to bother you, but I have something I want to ask you..."
Among the people Zhou Shuyi knows, Han Yiying, a senior who also came from "Game Storm", is undoubtedly the most professional who can answer her questions.
Whether it is commentary or hosting, these are their professional fields. Regardless of qualifications or age, Zhou Shuyi has to call them sister.
"Hello Shuyi, I just heard about your leaving "Game Storm" not long ago. Just tell me what's going on." Han Yiying greeted with a smile.
"Two media companies have approached me, and I'm a little unsure. I think Sister Han should know more..." Zhou Shuyi spilled the beans. Since she was asking for advice from others, she naturally wouldn't keep anything to herself.
"Oh? These two are both big companies in the industry. They are interested in you at the same time, obviously because they think highly of your potential!" Han Yiying said with a little surprise, and then thought about it for a while.
"I know a few people who work at Seven Emperors Media and are familiar with the company. If you prefer to hone your commentary skills, then Seven Emperors Media is a good choice."
"However, Xiaorenwu Media is more famous for anchor management, and it also has Principal Wang as a shareholder. I personally think it has greater potential..."
…
On the other hand, the OMG women's team, which returned empty-handed in the E-sports Goddess Invitational, is not in an ideal situation. This team was originally formed by the OMG club to test the waters in the women's e-sports industry.
The embarrassing situation of women's e-sports can be easily seen from the E-sports Goddess Invitational, which was a lot of noise but little results. Therefore, for e-sports clubs, the situation of the women's team is like chicken ribs, which are tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Most women's teams are like this, they are short-lived and disappear in the long river of history. Only a few outstanding ones can make waves and be remembered by the audience.
With the overall environment unclear, it is extremely difficult for the players. Even the most basic daily training seems to have no reason to continue.
However, at this time, Mo Zi is still concentrating on training. Even if there is no game to play, she must maintain her competitive state.
As someone who became a professional player at the age of 17, Mo Zi's professional attitude is very commendable. From CF to LOL, and then to Overwatch, Mo Zi is a rare professional player with both good looks and strength.
Compared to others who treat women's e-sports as a vase, Mo Zi is at least a qualified professional e-sports player.
If the team is not good, she will change teams; if the game is not good, she will change games. As long as she is given the opportunity to play professionally, she is willing to make all efforts to break the prejudice that women in e-sports are just "vases".
It's not that you persist because you see hope, but only by persisting can you see hope. This sentence may be the most appropriate to describe Mo Zi's career.
Mo Zi was concentrating on the operation, and with a wave of wonderful operations, he wiped out the opponent. The opponent readily clicked the surrender button and watched the animation of the opponent's base exploding.
Mo Zi finally couldn't suppress her joy anymore, she stood up and shouted "Nice! Sisters, I've become a master!"
As the core player of the team, Mo Zi is also the highest-ranked player in the OMG women's team. Looking at the entire E-sports Goddess Invitational, when the King rank is not present and the Grandmaster rank is not prominent, the Master rank is already the strongest...
"Stop practicing, Mozi. Master is useless. I heard from the leader that our team is going to be disbanded..." the teammate said very negatively.
"Yeah, what's the point of persisting in training? I can't even play in the game. I can't hold on unless the team disbands..."
"I'd better do live streaming. It's much easier than playing games in front of the computer. My live streaming room already has more than 100 subscribers..."
“Wow, so many subscriptions…”
The chattering of teammates was like a basin of cold water, washing away all the joy that Mo Zi had finally felt after advancing to the Master level. At this moment, the team leader who pushed the door open was like the last straw that broke the camel's back.
The other teammates looked indifferent as expected, but Mo Zi sat down silently, looking at the message "Congratulations on your promotion to Master" on her screen, her passion for playing professionally still burning...
As the team leader announced the disbandment of the team, Mo Zi's phone rang at an inopportune time, but this time no one would blame her.
The team leader also had a bitter look on his face, looking at Mo Zi with regret, "What a pity, Mo Zi, answer the phone, maybe it's something urgent... "
Mo Zi nodded apologetically, picked up the phone and walked to the side, "Hello, I'm Zhou Xing'er..." Zhou Xing'er is Mo Zi's real name.
"Hello, Miss Zhou, I am the human resources manager of Little People Media..." It was the same pretty much the same rhetoric.
However, for Zhou Xing'er, this phone call was like the light before dawn, bringing her good news.
Especially when she heard the tempting condition of "all travel expenses and accommodation included", Zhou Xing'er's eyes lit up and she agreed almost without thinking.
"No problem, I can go to Yangcheng tomorrow."
The team had just been disbanded and we didn't know what to do next. Wasn't this phone call a timely help?
Even if you don't sign a contract, going out for a walk is a good choice and you don't have to spend any money, right?
