"What the hell, guys! What is this!"
After reading the entire Invitation, Piao Duan Diao could only describe his feelings with one word: excited!
That's right, this is a rare opportunity! With so many players in the Goddess Alliance and the event boasting the highest prize pool in the world, the number of viewers will surely be substantial.
Isn't it a good thing that he, Piao Duan Diao, can make an appearance on this stage? Isn't it worth getting excited about?
This Invitation at least proves that he, Piao Duan Diao, has gained recognition from Riot Games. For a streamer relying on the Goddess Alliance for broadcasting, isn't that worth being excited about?
Well, seeing Piao Duan Diao in front of the camera acting like a five-hundred-pound child in excitement, the audience was left speechless.
We know you're excited; we know you're happy! But could you stop shaking your several hundred pounds of fat?
This overwhelming scene is quite a visual spectacle!
Many people have already started preparing to unsubscribe; this streamer is just too nauseating!
Alright, after calming down, Piao Duan Diao realized his mistake. He sat back in his chair and apologetically said, "Okay, I apologize! I was too excited earlier and didn't consider everyone's feelings. It was my fault; I'm sorry!"
After the laughter died down, the viewers in the live stream began to feel a bit strange. How did this Li Hong, the moderator, know about Piao Duan Diao being invited by Riot?
"What the hell, could this Li Hong be a Riot Boss?"
"What the hell, I almost forgot that there’s also a Riot Boss with that name!"
"What the hell, why does the person above need to add 'What the hell'?"
"What the hell, I don't know either. It should be quite shocking!"
Even Piao Duan Diao felt a bit surprised. That person who sent him the plane, Li Hong, could really be the boss of the company?
Although it seemed unlikely, there was still a possibility! If he wasn't the boss, why would he remind him to check his messages?
So, Piao Duan Diao teased into the camera, "The brother who just sent me the plane, you are the big boss, right?"
Li Hong, watching the live stream, was speechless and could only respond with a series of ellipses in the public chat.
This only solidified the fact that he was indeed the big boss. Consequently, the viewers in the live stream, who had been quietly observing, erupted into chaos.
"Haha, we've finally caught the culprit behind Blade Sister!"
"Come out, we won't bite you!"
"Silently pulling out my 40-meter-long knife; I hope no one sees me?"
"Bud, oh, there must be some skin money for me in that plane he sent!"
"I'm so angry, but I still can't stay mad!"
"…"
Li Hong, experiencing this kind of commotion for the first time, felt a bit overwhelmed. Fortunately, Piao Duan Diao didn't just stand by; he stepped in to help diffuse the situation.
"Alright, brothers, I know everyone has some grievances, but there's no need to scare Mr. Li."
After calming the agitated audience, Piao Duan Diao teased, "Mr. Li, how much do you think I can earn from this cleanup?"
"Not a cent. Just wait, Piao Duan Diao," Li Hong shot back.
With that harsh remark, Li Hong left Piao Duan Diao's livestream. Resolving the issues of the event couldn't rely on just one person; he needed to find several others.
In addition to Piao Duan Diao, Li Hong scouted a few more individuals.
One was the Poison Milk Mage from Milk Who Crashed, and the other was the sweet and charming Esports Sister.
Both of them were already streaming, and they were not as difficult to deal with as Piao Duan Diao. Following a similar approach, Li Hong quickly secured arrangements with these two.
However, this was only a preliminary agreement; the specifics still needed to be finalized offline with all three individuals and a contract signed.
Since none of them had any objections, it could be confirmed. At the very least, as long as nothing unexpected happened, the composition of this resolution seemed stable.
With that settled, the remaining issue was the livestream for the World Championship.
Mark suggested setting up an Official livestream room on major streaming platforms to broadcast the upcoming Goddess Alliance S1 World Championship.
However, Li Hong felt that this approach didn't quite match the grand scale they were aiming for.
With the Bird's Nest finals and the largest prize pool in history coming together, it seemed necessary to arrange for a television broadcast.
But after checking through Sweet Potato's channels, Li Hong realized that getting a television broadcast would be no easy feat.
At the very least, without Official backing, no television station would dare to broadcast or cover the event.
If it were any other competition, it might not be such a big deal, as there are precedents. However, when it comes to esports, things get complicated, especially in Huaxia, where gaming is no joke.
“Boss, why not just set up an Official livestream on a streaming platform?” Mark suggested seriously.
Having been around for a while and having dealt with Huaxia during his time at Penguin, Mark understood that this was going to be a tough task.
However, Li Hong was not one to back down easily. He hadn’t even tried yet; how could he possibly give up?
He shook his head, picked up the phone on the table, and began contacting one station after another.
He didn’t even consider the smaller television stations that weren’t satellite-based. His targets were primarily the major provincial television stations and Huaxia Satellite TV.
Huaxia Satellite TV was the largest television network in Huaxia, containing multiple sub-channels. Logically, it would be the most suitable partner for collaboration. However, Li Hong also knew that the Official atmosphere of Huaxia Satellite TV was too strong; while it was the best fit, it would likely be the hardest to negotiate with.
Thus, Li Hong started with the provincial television stations, reaching out one by one.
As soon as they received Li Hong's call, the representatives from these stations were bewildered. Initially, they thought it was just another company seeking advertising collaboration. It wasn’t until later that they realized this was a gaming company hoping to have them broadcast their competition.
At this point in the conversation, most of the station heads had already hung up.
A gaming competition? Could that really be broadcasted live?
Unfortunately for Li Hong, he still had many points to make when these people shook their heads in refusal.
“We’re sorry, but collaborating on broadcasting a gaming competition is unlikely. If your company has advertising needs, we welcome cooperation!”
After facing repeated rejections, Li Hong had to admit that he had indeed been a bit unrealistic.
In a country where video games are seen as a scourge, achieving something like this is truly as difficult as climbing a mountain.
After making calls to all the provincial television stations, Li Hong finally gave up hope.
He had no intention of reaching out to Huaxia Satellite TV. Given the responses from the provincial stations, he could only imagine how Huaxia Satellite TV would reply.
Just as he was feeling disheartened, his phone suddenly rang.
It was a call from Hunan Province. Li Hong was puzzled but answered the call anyway.
"Mr. Li, right? I'm the former head of Mango TV, and this is my personal number now."
Li Hong's eyes lit up, and he asked in surprise, "Does that mean you agree to this?"
