Chapter 939: Unofficial Commentary

Of course, Pei Qian knew that Zhao Xuming’s suggestion was not to help Bunny Tail live-stream on purpose. However, it was objectively helping Bunny Tail live-stream absorb popularity from other platforms.

This was achieving bad results with good intentions!

However, the Vice Presidents of other live-stream platforms would probably find out about the problem of delaying it by 30 seconds soon, right?

Pei Qian’s cell phone rang as he was thinking. It was Chen Yufeng.

He looked at the time and picked up the phone. “There’s still more than ten minutes to the end of work. Hurry up and tell me.”

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment. Then, he said, “Alright, Boss Pei. It’s like this. Zhao Xuming called just now and wants to negotiate with us to cancel the thirty-second delay…”

“Zhao Xuming said that he would think of ways to give us some other benefits as compensation…”

Obviously, Zhao Xuming called Chen Yufeng immediately after he communicated with the Vice Presidents of several platforms and understood the seriousness of the problem in those 30 seconds.

He had no choice but to be anxious because most of the Vice Presidents of other platforms were burning with anxiety!

These spoiler parties are particularly tenacious. They could not be cleared even if the super admins were to block them one by one. There were always that two or three spoilers that could affect the watching experience of the entire live broadcast room, which made it very speechless.

What’s more, it was not easy to set up blocked words. Who knew how they would spoil the story?

Thus, if the thirty-second delay did not change, a portion of the audience would definitely still come to Bunny Tail Live-Stream because of the viewing experience.

The Vice Presidents of the other platforms were very anxious and kept urging Zhao Xuming. Naturally, Zhao Xuming was also very anxious.

Chen Yufeng said, “Boss Pei, that’s what I think.”

“Let’s argue with them for a week or two.”

“Once the popularity has been mostly absorbed by Bunny Tail Live-Stream, many viewers who came to Bunny Tail Live-Stream would have already formed a habit. We’ll discuss this matter with them.”

“Or we could just reject them directly. We are following the contract strictly after all. Changing the contract is a favor, not changing it is a duty. They have nothing to say.”

Pei Qian was instantly unhappy. According to Chen Yufeng, it would cause Bunny Tail Live-Stream to accumulate a lot of popularity!

However, Chen Yufeng’s words were the best solution from the perspective of Bunny Tail Live-Stream. It would be too stiff and unreasonable for Pei Qian to directly ask Chen Yufeng to cancel the 30-second clause.

He had to think about this from a different perspective.

Pei Qian asked, “Zhao Xuming wants to give us some other benefits as compensation. What is it exactly?”

Chen Yufeng said, “Zhao Xuming can give the unofficial commentator rights to Bunny Tail live-stream.”

“To be more specific, apart from being able to broadcast the official live-stream, we can also organize our own people to commentate the competition, review the competition that has been completed and create various derivative programs.”

“None of the other live-stream platforms have this privilege other than us. Consider it compensation for us.”

Obviously, this was a reasonable compensation that Zhao Xuming could give him within his authority.

It would be hard to say how much money he would have to spend if he used money to solve this problem. What’s more, Zhao Xuming could not possibly use Long Yu Corporation’s money to fill the hole. He would not do that even if his brain was fried.

On the other hand, the right to commentate was not that important. It was only icing on the cake for Bunny Tail-Live Stream. If the other platforms only broadcasted the official commentary, the audience’s viewing experience would be guaranteed as long as the time was the same.

Thus, Zhao Xuming gave both parties an acceptable condition within his authority.

Of course, from the perspective of Bunny Tail’s live-stream, the thirty seconds delay was definitely better. If Chen Yufeng were to choose, he would definitely choose thirty seconds to delay.

This was a very pleasant surprise to Pei Qian. Zhao Xuming’s suggestion gave him a very good way out!

Pei Qian cleared his throat and said, “Let’s accept this condition and change the contract.”

Chen Yufeng was stunned for a moment. “Huh? Boss Pei, even if we want to accept it, we should delay it for a few days so that the popularity can be converted…”

Pei Qian shook his head. “There’s no need for that. It’s convenient to be with others and convenient for yourself. There’s no point in getting into a deadlock with Longyu Corporation and all the live-stream platforms for the sake of some popularity. It’s better to take advantage of the situation and sell a favor.”

“What’s more, the non-official commentary rights are not bad.”

Chen Yufeng felt that Boss Pei’s attitude was rather firm. He could only nod and say, “Alright, Boss Pei. I’ll give Zhao Xuming an answer now.”

“However… The attitude over there is more urgent. They hope that it will be changed within this week. Can I apply for overtime just in case? Whether it’s changing the contract or being an unofficial commentator, I might have to be a little busy this weekend.”

Pei Qian pondered for a moment. “Alright, remember to collect overtime pay. Also, try not to work overtime if you can.”

Chen Yufeng: “Alright, Boss Pei. I understand.”

Pei Qian heaved a sigh of relief after hanging up.

This Bunny Tail live-stream really gave him a little scare every now and then.

He would be making a loss this time if he used the unofficial commentator rights to change the thirty seconds delay, right?

After all, most people still had to watch the official commentary when watching the competition. There were some fans of the streamers who liked the unofficial commentary but it was still a minority group after all. It would not be too popular.

Pei Qian looked at his watch. It was time to knock off. The timing was perfect.

Thus, he packed his things and prepared to leave the office. At the same time, he wanted to see if anyone wanted to work overtime and chase them away.

He would settle the matters at the snack market tomorrow morning. This week would have the perfect ending!

…

On the other side, Chen Yufeng called Zhao Xuming to reply to this matter while it was still after work.

Zhao Xuming was elated, especially after hearing that Boss Pei was so generous.

At first, Zhao Xuming thought that he might have been tricked by Chen Yufeng and Boss Pei, the two sly old foxes. He took the blame for no reason. However, it looked like it was all a misunderstanding!

Boss Pei had no intention of tricking him. He had not thought it through well enough.

This way, Zhao Xuming actually felt a little bad. After all, anyone with discerning eyes could tell that using an unofficial commentary rights to exchange for 30 seconds of delay was a loss for Bunny Tail Live Broadcast.

However, Zhao Xuming did not have any other compensation that he could offer. He could only keep this in mind and think about it when the time was right.

Zhao Xuming quickly called the other live-stream platforms to tell them the good news.

The other Vice Presidents of other platforms, including Zhu Yan, were also very surprised by this result.

Boss Pei agreed so readily? He did not ask for too much?

Everyone felt that they would not have agreed so readily if they were in Boss Pei’s shoes.

At the very least, he would have to drag it out for a week or two to earn some popularity, right?

At the same time, they felt that Boss Pei was unpredictable, everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The few black pots that Zhao Xuming was carrying on his back were finally removed.

Of course, Zhao Xuming also added fuel to the fire, emphasizing his important role in this discussion to the Vice Presidents of the various platforms.

The other Vice Presidents looked like they were thanking him profusely on the surface, but they were actually laughing in their hearts. There were only a few phone calls in total. What role could Zhao Xuming play? Did he really think that he was the reincarnation of Su Qin?

Boss Pei must have been magnanimous to give us face so that this matter could be resolved so smoothly!

Next, the various platforms had to make the best use of their time to change the contract. Then, once the unofficial commentary on Bunny Tail Live-Stream was more or less done, the thirty-second delay could be directly canceled.

What’s more, since all live-stream platforms had the same broadcast time, the real-time data function that Long Yu Corporation was developing could be released as soon as possible.

…

It was time to knock off after calling Zhao Xuming. Chen Yufeng was preparing to go home.

He still subconsciously began to consider the ICL league’s unofficial commentary even though he had knocked off.

“Boss Pei agreed readily. What’s more, Boss Pei seems to think that the unofficial commentator rights are similar to the thirty-second delay?”

“It looks like Boss Pei is very interested in this unofficial commentary rights. All the more I have to prepare for it!”

In fact, there were many details that had not been finalized for the non-official commentary rights.

Take the live-stream for example. Should he use the official OB viewpoint or should he use his own OB viewpoint?

OB in the competition was a very professional job. The staff in charge of OB had to have a very high understanding of the game. They had to be able to see the various details that were happening in the competition and display them. Only then would the commentator be able to notice some details that the audience could not.

What’s more, the person in charge of OB had to have a certain level of skill and technique. He had to divide the screen, move around on the screen, display more perspectives, and so on. Only an experienced person could be qualified.

Only by displaying all these details could the audience obtain the best viewing experience.

If he wanted to save time, he could only ask for a muted version of the official OB, and use two commentators for Bunny Tail live-stream. However, if he wanted to differentiate it, he could request to enter the official competition room directly to watch the competition and freely OB.

The latter might be more troublesome than the former, but he had given Zhao Xuming face this time. As long as he raised it, Zhao Xuming would definitely agree.

Chen Yufeng considered it for a moment. “Since we’re going to do it, we have to do it to the best of our abilities.”

“We might as well take care of everything from OB to commentary to post-match analysis.”

“Hmm… this way, I’ll have to ask for someone from the E-Sports Department. As for the commentator, FV Club might have a suitable candidate.”

Tengda’s E-Sports Industry Department was filled with talents. The GPL league had been held for so long and could be considered to have accumulated a lot of experience. It should not be a problem to get two professional OBs and a few staff members.

He would definitely have to find someone who had a deep understanding of IOI to do the commentating. The first team of FV Club had to compete, but it was not a bad idea to find two older, weaker, and eloquent commentators from Team Two or the coaches.

Apart from professional players analyzing the competition, he also had to find a professional field control from the GPL to guide the conversation between the two professional players so that it would not deviate.

Chen Yufeng made up his mind and decided to look for Zhang Yuan tomorrow. He wanted a few reliable people to be in charge of the unofficial commentary of ICL league. He would make a trip to FV Club this weekend to see if there were any good seedlings in Team Two who could be commentators.

Tomorrow would be Friday. There would be no focal battle. However, there would also be a highlight of ICL league on Saturday and Sunday. Chen Yufeng’s goal was to arrange the unofficial commentary of ICL league before Sunday as much as possible. He wanted to release the unofficial commentary on Sunday’s focal battle to test waters.
