Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 78 Anchor's Famous Scene
"It's Mr. Chen. Your Shark platform is very popular recently." Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
"Don't mention it. There are so many competitors all of a sudden. I'm already overwhelmed." Chen Shijie complained and then changed the subject.
"Mr. Zhou, we hit it off right away when we met last time and had a great conversation. We can be considered friends now, right?" Being humble makes people let down their guard.
However, Zhou Dongsheng knew what it meant that one would not visit someone for no reason. The so-called "friends" were not worth mentioning in the face of interests, not to mention that the two of them had only met once.
"It's my honor to be friends with Mr. Chen. After all, our company relies on your platform for survival." Zhou Dongsheng followed him while doing Tai Chi.
"No way. Now that there are more platforms, Mr. Zhou's company seems particularly valuable. I have to admire Mr. Zhou's business vision." Chen Shijie sighed.
"If you keep praising me, Mr. Chen, I'll feel embarrassed. If I had the ability, I would also like to build a platform. But don't I have the capability?" Zhou Dongsheng laughed.
"Mr. Zhou is really too modest. How can a live streaming platform be considered a good business? The Shark platform has not made any profit yet. I really feel ashamed of my investors~"
During the greetings, the two of them also pulled each other to the limit, and it was obvious that neither of them got the upper hand.
Chen Shijie stopped pretending and went straight to the point.
"Since Mr. Zhou considers me a friend, you have to help me this time." Chen Shijie said in a joking tone.
"Of course. We are all friends. If I can help Mr. Chen, I will do it without hesitation." Zhou Dongsheng said confidently.
"Okay, I feel relieved with what Mr. Zhou said! The host Curly Baboon must be kept on our platform and cannot be poached again!" Chen Shijie said with a smile.
"Hasn't he been live streaming on your platform all the time? Not only him, our company has many other anchors developing on the Shark platform. We have to rely a lot on Mr. Chen's care." Zhou Dongsheng pretended to be stupid.
Didn’t the three previous anchors also broadcast live on our platform? As a result, they were poached by the Huchi platform without paying attention... Chen Shijie secretly complained.
Chen Shijie finally understood that Zhou Dongsheng was a man who would not release his eagle until he saw the rabbit, so Chen Shijie continued.
"Since we are friends, I certainly won't let Mr. Zhou suffer any loss. As long as Curly Baboon signs a contract with our platform, the price can be negotiated."
"So this is what Mr. Chen meant. Why didn't you tell me earlier? Recently, both Dragon Pig and War Cavalry Platform have been very interested in Curly-haired Baboons..." Zhou Dongsheng's words made Chen Shijie's heart rise.
"However, the contract has not been signed yet. If Mr. Chen had come a little later, it might have been signed. But since Mr. Chen has spoken, I will definitely give priority to your platform."
"But Mr. Chen also knows that the company is not mine alone, and I have to give an explanation to other shareholders, so Mr. Chen can't let me suffer a loss on the price."
Zhou Dongsheng's words were full of twists and turns, making Chen Shijie feel like he was on a roller coaster.
"Of course. I would also feel uneasy if Mr. Zhou suffered a loss. I'll match the price with Brother Dazhi. What do you think?" Chen Shijie offered his chips.
"That's great, but our company's current contract signing method is one-year contracts. But don't worry, Mr. Chen. Given our friendship, we will definitely give priority to your company when renewing the contract."
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally very satisfied with the price, but the strategic policy of signing a one-year contract still cannot be changed, even though the annual salary of tens of millions seems very high now.
But it only takes one year for the live broadcast industry to be completely turned upside down, especially after Principal Wang's platform went online, the waters were completely muddied...
In early 2015, the war for talent among the major platforms was just a minor one.
Although the one-year contract is not very friendly to the platform, Chen Shijie had no choice but to agree.
After all, if they don't agree, other platforms will take advantage of the situation. Game anchors who have their own traffic attributes are currently the hot cakes that major platforms are competing for.
If he didn't take it down, he would be giving bullets to the enemy, so Chen Shijie could only accept it.
However, it was precisely because of this that Chen Shijie became more determined to develop the idea of training his own anchors. The outline of a plan to train anchors was planted in Chen Shijie's heart.
"Okay, I also hope to have long-term cooperation with Mr. Zhou. Let's sign a one-year contract." Chen Shijie nodded in agreement.
Once the bosses have agreed on the deal, there will naturally be someone dedicated to the company to coordinate the signing of the contract.
The deal was settled, and after a few pleasantries, the phone was hung up. The money spent had to be maximized, and Chen Shijie also had to create momentum for publicity.
As for operation and promotion, Chen Shijie is good at it, and the Shark platform also relies on these means to accumulate original traffic.
At the same time, the news that Shark Platform signed Curly Baboon with an annual salary of tens of millions spread like wildfire and was widely circulated in the industry.
In particular, the name of Little People Media Company once again became famous in the industry.
After all, there was Liu, one of the three main anchors, who was hired by the Huchi platform with an annual salary of tens of millions, and then there was Curly Baboon, who was hired by the Shark platform with an annual salary of tens of millions.
This media company, which focuses on anchor management, has suddenly become a piece of information on the desks of CEOs of major platforms. Some of the information made public was not secret in the first place.
On the list of shareholders, the capital represented by Principal Wang and the abilities of two local young masters from Guangzhou, Huang Haoze and Chen Yuhang, also invisibly blocked some troubles for Zhou Dongsheng.
Zhou Dongsheng, the largest shareholder, has become a mystery. He has such a big business at such a young age, but his background is very simple and he has no industry experience. It's like he suddenly appeared...
Could it be that he is some big boss’s illegitimate child?
Although it is just a guess, it somehow seems reasonable. No matter what, the difference between a company that manages anchors and a platform is the buyer and the seller, and the two parties are not in opposition.
So the bosses of other platforms also found Zhou Dongsheng’s contact information and called him to establish a relationship, hoping to cooperate with each other in the future.
Zhou Dongsheng was naturally not polite about this and worked hard to promote his anchors. Although Curly Baboon was "sold", there were still Machachomong, Vincent, Xiao Sima and others.
Although the platform wants to cooperate, it has no appetite for these "small anchors". After all, these anchors are not like Liu and Curly Baboon, who have the natural traffic guarantee of retired players.
Basically, they are all grassroots anchors who are just a little famous in the game League of Legends. Their influence is far less than that of the top anchors.
But since we want to cooperate, it might be better to use small anchors to establish a cooperative relationship first. Even a small amount of money is still meat.
Zhou Dongsheng was not in a hurry either. He sent the "little anchor" to various major platforms with a smile. Although he signed the contract with a monthly salary of over ten thousand yuan, he was not in a hurry to sign the contract. He just wanted to show his sincerity and test the waters first.
Zhou Dongsheng has his own plans. Now all major platforms are in the expansion period and each has its own traffic pool. Dispersing the anchors under the company to develop in these major traffic pools is the best option at present.
As a grassroots anchor, it still takes some time to accumulate traffic. Because they are all League of Legends game anchors, they can avoid the two phantom gods and maximize traffic accumulation.
However, Zhou Dongsheng has already started to have some weird ideas in his mind . In the eyes of the platform, they are just small anchors, but in Zhou Dongsheng's eyes, each of them is an untapped gold mine.
As long as you run them yourself, why worry about not being able to sell them at a high price? By then, the small anchors that the platform ignores will become out of reach in the blink of an eye.
Under Zhou Dongsheng's guidance, Han Fei's video collection series has been started. The first issue of "Famous Anchor Scenes" includes Saozhu's famous "reverse smoking" scene.
Although it was a rehash of leftover food, thanks to Han Fei's editing skills, the first episode still won the love of many viewers and the subject matter was well established.
Han Fei also began to prepare for the editing of the second episode in full swing. Now is the time when there is a lack of materials. Although there are many anchors, there are not many famous scenes, and even fewer that the audience can remember.
And Zhou Dongsheng happened to have remembered many famous scenes in his mind. He was his own anchor and his own video self-media, which was completely self-produced and self-sold .
Which famous scene should I plan first?
Zhou Dongsheng looked at his own anchor list and locked onto Vincent, the anchor who was famous for playing Draven...
