Chapter 223 recording
While An Jin was making a big splash as a commentator, Yan Qing was incredibly busy.
The League of Legends production team frantically contacted An Jin. After he finally managed to calm things down on one side, the advertisers on the other side also came over with ingratiating expressions.
Anjin's video advertisements were booked well in advance, and most of these advertisers were there because of Anjin's shop window.
Snacks, keyboards, gaming chairs, clothes, computers, cosmetics—these brands went to great lengths to get their products featured in Anjin's shop window.
Now, whenever Anjin has free time, she stays at home and opens packages sent by brands. If she likes a product after using it, she contacts the brand to discuss the price. If she doesn't like it or finds it just okay, she pretends nothing happened.
This isn't about An Jin being responsible to her fans, but rather about how a public figure of significant stature must remain vigilant while making money.
Some things may seem good and effective, but if you don't try them yourself and check them yourself, and problems arise after the product is sold, the person who will suffer the most will always be An Jin herself.
After half a month, the company's legal counsel finally finished reviewing the contract.
There are no major issues with the contract, except that the penalty for breach of contract and the confidentiality clauses are a bit excessive; otherwise, everything is fine.
Seeing the production team's positive attitude, An Jin managed to negotiate for another half month after the legal counsel reviewed the contract, managing to scrape together an extra five million yuan before finally signing the contract with the production team.
The contract was signed offline. Not only were there people from the program crew present, but also many brand representatives at the banquet. One of the brand representatives was an acquaintance of Anjin.
Chen Su sat at the head of the table, like an iceberg, with the other investors and the program director on his left and right, respectively.
An Jin was seated to the left of the director.
She brought Yan Qing with her to the banquet. She was initially a little nervous, but her nervousness immediately dissipated after seeing Chen Su.
"You could say we're destined to be together."
An Jin sat down and looked at Chen Su, who was in the main seat, with a smile: "So you're here too, Brother Chen."
The director, who was about to give an introduction, suddenly looked at me strangely.
The investors and the production crew kept glancing back and forth between An Jin and Chen Su, their eyes filled with a probing desire that seemed to want to peel An Jin's skin off.
Chen Su, being particularly shrewd, responded to An Jin's words with a calm expression, his tone revealing an expected composure.
"Quite a coincidence."
Chen Su said this.
What followed was a typical business dinner, followed by a trip to a bar where people would drink and spend money.
Although An Jin and Chen Su didn't talk much during the meal, they rode back together in Chen Su's car after the banquet.
Knowing that An Jin also had capital backing her, the staff of the production team, who had been reprimanded by the director team during the recording of the show, became very ambivalent in their attitude towards An Jin.
Su Mingzhu noticed An Jin's presence as soon as she joined the filming crew.
Logically speaking, she is the most prominent member of the group, and no matter what treatment the production team gives her, she should be the best one.
Unexpectedly, after joining the crew, An Jin, an internet celebrity, received treatment that rivaled that of a popular female star.
Everything in the entertainment industry has its reasons behind it. When Su Mingzhu noticed something was wrong, her first reaction was to investigate.
The assistant chatted with the production crew for a few minutes and quickly got the news from them.
"So there was someone behind it all."
Su Mingzhu tidied her stray hairs, and knowing the answer, she no longer delved into the details.
An Jin is able to command the utmost respect from everyone in the group, so the person behind her must have considerable influence.
Only a handful of variety shows can have this much influence.
Su Mingzhu didn't care who was behind An Jin; she knew that as long as An Jin had someone backing her, that was enough.
The recording of the variety show is progressing very quickly.
Of the twenty people who participated in the recording, half were celebrities of all ages in the entertainment industry, and the other half were professionals working in the league.
Of the ten people, only An Jin is a woman; the rest are all retired professional players and coaches.
The production team signed An Jin specifically for her popularity. Having spent a lot of money to sign An Jin, they naturally couldn't sign any other female anchors.
Money can't keep up. Minor celebrities ask for more, and those slightly more famous female internet celebrities and live streamers ask for even more.
As for female professional players and female commentators...
It's heartbreaking to think about. The league had considered forming a women's team before, but after the team was formed, various problems arose, and the league quickly disbanded the women's team.
Since we can't form a female team, how about we just recruit high-ranking female solo queue players normally?
That won't work either.
Firstly, there are very few female celebrities among the high-ranking solo queue players. It's always the same familiar faces. Those who are invited have already been invited by the entertainment department. Very few solo queue players can survive the trials and actually enter the professional arena.
Secondly, it's because being a professional gamer doesn't make money.
Female streetball kings, if they have that kind of skill, which one wouldn't become a streamer or a business owner? That's much easier than being a professional player. You don't have to train for ten or more hours every day just for a few hours on stage.
For example, An Jin's skill level is actually only at the level of a regular player in truly high-level games.
But her skills are truly outstanding among female streamers, far surpassing many technically skilled ones, which has earned her a fortune.
Most of the female commentators associated with the League of Legends are actually not very good at the game itself.
These female commentators and hosts are either lucky enough to get into the industry early on, or they are academics with professional backgrounds but little knowledge of games.
They're fine for commentary and hosting, but when it comes to actually playing the game, they're basically just getting crushed by noobs.
Before the actual recording of the show, which involved twenty people, the production team had already sent the general schedule to each guest.
An Jin sat in a private dressing room, carefully looking at the notification process on her phone.
The first episode's recording didn't involve many activities related to the alliance. The main process was to gather all the guests participating in the show together, let them appear in front of the audience, and then let them form teams and assign dormitories.
After putting on makeup and changing her clothes, An Jin, carrying a skirt that was sure to dazzle the audience, walked into a private dressing room to wait for her turn on stage.
The corridor outside leads to the recording site of the show, and all the hurried footsteps coming and going are kept outside the door.
Zhang Yuanyuan curiously looked around the lounge, and only when she saw the large screen hanging in the room did she have a sense of reality that An Jin was recording a program.
She turned around and looked at An Jin, who was sitting calmly on the sofa playing on her phone, and sincerely thought An Jin was awesome.
