"Would Mr. Ye be willing to participate?"
Ye Zi deliberately paused for a moment, then said:
"Yes, I can participate."
"Does Mr. Ye have any concerns?" The person on the other end asked immediately, noticing Ye's silence.
"How much is your signing fee?" Ye Zi asked.
"A signing fee?" Wang Zhihua asked in surprise.
"Yes, after all, you only got my contact information through a used car dealer. Others got my phone number directly from Er Ya and Huang Jingyu."
I will definitely choose the best candidates to sign.
Ye Zi didn't say that anyone else had contacted him, only that others had a more convenient way to get his contact information.
"We haven't had time to discuss the signing fee yet, mainly because I called you as soon as I got your contact information."
The other side also knows that if Ye Zi and Er Ya Huang Jingyu are in frequent contact, they must know about the signing fee, so denying it at this point is useless.
Ye Zi is indeed not a celebrity, but with the title of a multinational wilderness survival champion, and a large number of wilderness survival viewers as his fans, it's impossible for him to save on the signing fee. However, he can't make the decision on the price, so he can only say this.
"I see," Ye Zi replied calmly.
"Well, I called mainly to confirm whether Mr. Ye is willing to participate in the program. Since you are willing, our platform will discuss a price that you are satisfied with as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll wait for your call."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Zi grinned. With YY leading the way, she was confident that when other live streaming platforms came knocking, they would raise their prices.
People are out there doing this for money, there's nothing shameful about it.
Nothing happened that night. The next morning, Ye Zi received another call from an unknown number.
"Hello Yezi, this is Douyu live streaming platform..."
I wanted to ask if you would like to participate.
This is the contact information I got from Er Ya. After only a brief introduction to the program outline, Ye Zi smiled and said:
"Yes, I've already learned about the program from Wang Zhihua on YY Live. I'm waiting for his offer and will choose the best one to sign."
Ye Zi's use of names and surnames is a way of telling the other party that they are not the first to contact her, and that they can just state the price directly.
"Well, since you're willing to participate, our platform will discuss a price that you're satisfied with as soon as possible."
"OK."
After hanging up the phone, Siqin frowned and asked:
"Are you going to be on another show?"
Ye Zi nodded and smiled:
"Yes, but the environment is much better this time. It's an island, so you can just fish and build houses. There are no large animals, so it's very safe. If you win, you can earn around five million."
Ye Zi knew exactly what her mother was worried about, and quickly explained the situation.
Hearing that there was no danger from large animals, Siqin relaxed her brows. Although she knew that Yezi did not like city life, Yezi's personality had changed noticeably since she returned from the last program.
It's good for Yezi to interact more with people her own age.
Money doesn't matter. Don't think Ye Zi's family is poor. The pasture is money, and the cattle and sheep are also money. In addition, the family has savings.
You can never have too much money, as long as you have enough.
Given the choice between her son's safety and money, Siqin would definitely choose the former.
After the mother and son finished breakfast and tidied up the house, they were about to go out when Yezi's phone rang again.
The opening remarks were pretty much the same as before; this time it was from the live streaming platform Huang Jingyu mentioned, Huya.
Ye Zi said the same thing: two companies are already discussing signing fees. They want me to participate in the show under their company's name, so let's name a price.
The other party's response was similar to that of YY Douyu: once you confirm your participation, we'll discuss the price and give you a reply as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Siqin asked:
"All three companies are looking for you?"
Ye Zi nodded idly.
Siqin continued to ask:
Will the other two companies call you?
Although Ye Zi only gave a general overview of the program during dinner, she remembered the joint report by the five platforms, which is why she asked this question.
Ye Zi said uncertainly:
"I wonder if they have any way to get my contact information. If they do, they should contact me."
"Shall we still go out?"
"Let's go. We finally have time to go shopping. Anyway, I'm only going to say a few words on the phone, it's no big deal."
Hearing Ye Zi's words, Siqin's face lit up with happiness, and then the mother and son went downstairs.
Just as Yezi got on the bus, her phone rang again. When she took it out, she was surprised to see that it was someone she knew.
Ye Zi answered the phone and said:
"Gao Fei, it's been a long time since we last contacted each other."
"Hey, you still remember me? The King of One-on-One Battles in the Wilderness."
On the other end of the phone was Gao Fei, the drone operator who had followed Ye Zi on the last episode. He made a joke based on Ye Zi's tone.
"Survival requires the ability to use one's hands; one can't let oneself go hungry."
"So, is there something you need that's calling me at this hour?" Ye Zi asked casually.
"Can I wish you a Happy New Year in advance?" Gao Fei replied.
"Then I'll bow to you as a return gift?" Ye Zi replied jokingly.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Our platform is preparing for the second season of Wilderness Survival, the island episode. Would you like to participate?"
"I know that. Er Ya and Lao Huang told me. YY, Douyu, and Huya have also contacted me. I have no problem with that."
"You work for a live streaming platform too? I thought you were from the official channels."
"I see. How much did they quote?" Gao Fei asked casually.
Ye Zi exclaimed in surprise:
"Are you really this blatantly trying to find out your competitors' trade secrets?"
"What else can we do? We'll find out their quotes and see if we can compete with them. If we can, we'll raise the price for them; if not, we'll just give up."
Ye Zi said in a joking tone:
"I'm not going to tell you, I'll wait for you to raise the price on your own initiative."
"Alright, our current price on Douyin is 800,000 yuan. This price is based on the number of followers you had on your last show."
"Eight hundred thousand, I understand. There's still one company that hasn't given me a quote. I'll let you know when I get the result."
By the way, is my livestream account from the last show in your hands on Douyin?
“Last time, your live stream account wasn’t just on our platform; other platforms had it too. You could watch it on any platform, but the accounts weren’t interchangeable.”
"Understood."
After hanging up the phone, Yezi started the car, and the mother and son continued their shopping trip, but it didn't go smoothly.
Just as Yezi arrived at the entrance of the residential area, her phone rang again.
Siqin said:
"It seems this matter will be resolved today, so let's deal with it first before we go out and go home."
Ye Zi looked at the unfamiliar number on the caller ID and knew that this was the last platform she could contact.
After receiving this call, just wait patiently for them to start bidding.
But I'll definitely answer the phone a lot, and it's convenient to answer the phone when I get home, so I'll stop the car and answer the call.
The content remains the same. Ye Zi said that four platforms have already contacted him, and the current signing fee is 800,000 yuan. He is waiting for the final offer.
