Chapter 222 Rapid Progress
An Jin's pre-match interview livestream was excellent.
By the time she interviewed the second team, the number of viewers in the live stream had already reached 300,000.
Large gifts flashed by in the live chat, some asking An Jin to ask some pointed questions, and others asking An Jin some pointed questions.
An Jin ignored them all. After interviewing the two teams, she hurriedly ended the broadcast, ignoring the more than 300,000 viewers in the live stream.
The match was about to start in twenty minutes, so An Jin had to get to the commentary venue early to review the script and coordinate with the rehearsal.
This time, the commentary she was paired with was a little different from the first time.
Besides Lao Zhou, a familiar face, there was also a male commentator who had just been promoted last year.
An Jin greeted the two of them and picked up the script to read it.
This time there are even more advertisements than last time. An Jin couldn't help but laugh as she looked at the densely packed script.
"Am I being used as an advertisement? All the promotional material is mine."
Old Zhou smiled and explained, "The advertisers saw how well you read the announcement last time, so they specifically asked you to read it."
An Jin then said, "That's great. With so many voiceovers, I can slack off a bit while I'm doing the commentary."
Old Zhou: "You're dreaming. The production team just told me that Xiao Zhang and I should take good care of you."
The commentators, Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhang, exchanged a glance and laughed simultaneously.
An Jin Little Bear shrugged: "Okay, okay, I'll try to slack off less."
She focused intently on the script and the spoken parts, repeating them several times before finally stopping, satisfied.
Seeing how focused she was, Lao Zhou and Xiao Zhang stopped talking to her and started looking at their own scripts instead.
A dozen minutes later, sound came through the headsets of the three people.
The director is in position, the cameras are on, and the live broadcast of the competition has begun.
The three of them composed themselves, looked at the camera with serious expressions.

On the other side.
The director of [League of Legends] is also currently live-streaming a match.
Most of the production crew watched the live stream with the director.
Since they want to create a variety show about the league, they must understand the league's games.
The commentators and hosts always appear before the audience even faster than the players.
The director looked at An Jin, who was fluently reading the prepared speech on the screen, and then turned to look at the assistant director beside him.
"How's it going? Still no word from An Jin?"
Assistant Director: "Yes, after the contract was sent, apart from occasionally asking some questions, there was no further response from them."
Director: "She's probably still reviewing the contract. You should push the schedule forward a bit more; she's a promising talent."
The assistant director nodded: "I understand, director."
Another assistant director asked curiously, "Director, is this person An Jin?"
The director nodded and explained to the informant sent by the investor, "Yes, it's her."
The assistant director asked with some doubt, "She is indeed very beautiful, but director, I have a question. With so many female commentators, why spend so much money to invite an internet celebrity?"
The price is almost as high as Su Mingzhu's, and the assistant director really thinks it's unnecessary.
The director lit a cigarette but didn't say anything to explain.
It was the assistant director next to him, who was in charge of facilitating the signing of the contract with An Jin, who spoke up at this moment.
"Just keep reading."
The assistant director said, "You're an assistant director, you have no vision at all. Our program is about the league, so naturally we need to invite professionals who are involved in league competitions."
Although professional players have the deepest connection with the league, they can only appear as second-tier guests.
The top-tier guests needed for variety shows must be highly professional, good at performing, and not annoying.
Variety shows, also known as reality shows, exist to both inject fresh blood into the entertainment industry and to entertain the public.
The reason the director spent so much money to hire An Jin was because of An Jin's uniqueness within the alliance circle.
She is a game streamer, an internet celebrity, and a commentator.
Despite being embroiled in controversy and online buzz, she didn't falter easily. These factors alone were enough for the director to decide to cast An Jin.
Not to mention An Jin's massive online following.
What does it mean to have over 200,000 regular viewers in a live stream? To put it bluntly, some second-tier celebrities might not even get that many viewers when they go live.
People all rise up on their own.
Celebrities often have companies promoting them.
The production team gradually got absorbed in watching the live broadcast of the competition.
The male commentator was passionate, the female commentator was calm, and they interspersed each commentator with simple, easy-to-understand jokes to liven up the atmosphere.
The director got up to go to the restroom, and when he came back, he saw that most of the people were still in the same position he had left in, which gave him a silent shock.
The two assistant directors were also engrossed in watching.
Everyone was engrossed in the match. Although they didn't have a favorite team, just watching the battle was interesting enough.
After two matches, with each team securing a victory, the competition reached a crucial point.
The players leave the field for a rest, and commercial breaks continue.
The players and commentators were no longer on the screen; those who had been sitting in front of the screen watching the game got up and went to do their own things.
Some went to the toilet, some smoked cigarettes.
The director checked his phone, estimated the time, and after waiting for five minutes, looked back and saw that almost everyone on set had arrived.
The director turned around, looked at the advertisement that had just ended on the screen, and at An Jin's smiling eyes, his resolve growing stronger.
In the dimly lit room, the projector continued its indifferent operation.
The people facing the screen rarely showed any expression on their faces. Only when An Jin appeared on the screen would they look up attentively and listen to her speak.
The commentators chatted for only six or seven minutes before the person on the screen changed to the female host from inside the venue.
The director glanced to the side and saw that after the actor was changed on the screen, everyone in the conference room started slacking off. He then called the assistant director out.
The two went to the lounge.
Director: "Please expedite the contract process. If things don't go well with An Jin, let me know as soon as possible."
The assistant director guessed: "And then you replaced him?"
Director: "Why would we replace him? He's such a good talent, of course we should pay him more."
"I understand, Director."
The assistant director lit a cigarette and said, "Please have a smoke."
The director said irritably, "Stop with that nonsense, get this done quickly."
Assistant Director: "Yes, yes, I'll go and push forward the schedule as soon as I finish watching the live broadcast. Don't worry, Director."
Director: "I'm not in a hurry, okay? I'm not in a hurry."
He secretly told the assistant director, "Sign the person as soon as possible. Just with An Jin's face, I can secure two more investments before the show even airs."
The assistant director understood: money is the courage of a hero; you can't do anything without it.
He patted his chest and assured him, "Don't worry, I'll go right now!"
