Chapter 005: Let Uncle Yang Participate in "Chinese Good Voice"
The popularity of the program "The Voice of China" is even higher than that of their show "The Birth of a Girl Group", and it is also of a higher caliber
However, Pandora's box has already been opened
No wonder the other party is unwilling to sign a contract with the dolphins, and even when they heard that a contract could be signed, there was not the slightest reaction of surprise
Qilin nodded slightly, feeling somewhat bewildered: How did the boss know about this? I haven't had the chance to tell him yet
I believe there are two possibilities! After listening to his account, Rou Dai smiled and analyzed, "One possibility is that your streamer is quite wealthy and is just doing live streaming for fun, not caring at all about the money from these gifts! The other possibility is that your streamer is more traditional and upright, worried that his fans might not have enough money for food, and thus straightforwardly wants to return the gifts that people have given him!"
After Yang Ruoyi finished listening to the song, she was still immersed in the strange singing style that her father had introduced. Her slender fingers gently tapped on her knees, as if musical notes were joyfully dancing! It was not until Tang Wenfei's voice emerged that she came back to her senses
Tang Wenfei blinked her eyes somewhat pitifully, looking at Yang Ruoyi with a sense of grievance
"No, no, he was not selected." Peng Xueyuan, realizing the misunderstanding, quickly waved his hand and said, "But I think Uncle Yang sings much better than Senior Gao Yuankai, almost like those singers on television! If we sign up Uncle Yang, he might just get selected!"
Peng Xueyuan and Tang Wenfei exchanged a glance, their eyes flickering, revealing a hint of hesitation as well
If he could participate in "Chinese Good Voice," Uncle Yang might be able to rediscover his dreams and regain the passion he had in his youth! At that time, he should also be able to understand your current thoughts
Uh... Peng Xueyuan forgot about this matter. He stood there, scratching his head, feeling a bit awkward
It seems feasible
... ...
"Elder brother, in live streaming, it is the audience who sends you gifts; there is no such thing as returning the audience's gifts," said Qilin on the phone, feeling somewhat amused and exasperated after understanding Yang Han's intention.
However, on the other hand, Yang Han was determined to refund the money for these ten super rockets to the fans. ... This was also because he knew that regardless of whether this "Lover227" was a young person pretending to be wealthy or a rich person playing the fool, in any case ...! ... he definitely wasn't as rich as he was!
The return of this money has no impact on Qilin! He sat back in his seat, busy adjusting the data while secretly reflecting.
He finds it hard to understand how someone could be at odds with money. Having interacted with so many streamers, he has never encountered anyone as "stubborn" as Yang Han
Yang Ruoyi's mind was filled with several idioms, and before she knew it, a hint of a smile appeared on her fair and rosy face, while her clear eyes sparkled with bright light
So, you see, this gift worth 20,000 yuan, after deductions, you would only be able to receive around 8,000 yuan. If you want me to help you refund the money to the fans, what about the taxes deducted in between and the platform's earnings? This request is unreasonable, isn't it?
The melody, like his mood, carries fluctuations within its simplicity
"It's settled then, sign my dad up!" Yang Ruoyi slapped Tang Wenfei's thigh, and although it was through the smooth silk nightgown and not very forceful, Tang Wenfei still let out a delicate "Oh dear".
After all, he is not a major streamer, and no audience would wait by a chair for his return... Not only has the popularity gathered by the super rocket completely vanished, but the audience who originally waited to listen to music has also lost patience and left to browse other live streams
I believe Uncle Yang really enjoys singing, and he sings so beautifully. Perhaps he was once involved in this profession, or like Yi Yi, he had a musical dream, but for some reason, he gave it up later.
Well, thank you for your hard work
Just as he wrote on the sign—"Life is not easy, gifts are declined"—Yang Han does not wish for online rewards to impose too great a financial burden on his fans in real life
But, Pengpeng, are you not afraid that Uncle Yang will find out and blame us? Tang Wenfei's personality is as delicate as her appearance; she is always hesitant and indecisive, constantly worrying about the consequences.
Do you know Senior Gao Yuankai? Seeing the girls shake their heads, Peng Xueyuan had to give a brief introduction, "He is a senior from our school newspaper club, in the second year of high school. He even sang at the school evening party for the literature and art club! Last year, he wanted to sign up for 'Chinese Good Voice' and even asked me to help him record a video of him singing."
After waiting for a while and not seeing Yang Han return, Peng Xueyuan had no choice but to close the recording software first
... ...
The sanitation worker's mother finds it difficult to earn money, and the savings in her bankbook have been accumulated slowly, penny by penny. It is unclear what that child thinks, but when Yang Han recalls the small, hunched figures he saw on the street, he feels a tightness in his heart.
The attitude of Qilin is actually quite good. Even though Yang Han initially refused to sign the contract, when faced with Yang Han's request, he did not show any impatience. Moreover, he took the time to explain the profit-sharing rules of this gift to Yang Han in detail
... ...
However, the events encountered tonight are quite interesting to Qilin! When he got up to pour tea in the tea room, he ran into the game area supervisor "Meat Daze" and couldn't help but start a conversation with him.
However, when he returned to his workstation, the leader of their group approached him: "Qilin, do you have a streamer who needs to refund gift money to their fans?"
Go and ask him to help deliver a message to the boss of the dolphins
No wonder the other party expressed so generously that they would even pay to refund the money
He really isn't short of money
Regardless of the world, the live streaming industry has been plagued by numerous negative news stories. Not to mention the misappropriation of public funds for tipping, it is particularly concerning that many of the viewers who lavishly give tips online are underage individuals without their own income. Some unscrupulous streamers even feign ignorance, deliberately acting cute and charming to deceive unsuspecting children into tipping them
What Yang Han recalled first was the infatuated young man "Lover227". It was not that his story could evoke much emotion in Yang Han, but rather the songs that "Lover227" had chosen.
Seeing that he was no longer working on the computer, Tang Wenfei leaned out her head and curiously asked, "Pengpeng, you haven't told us yet, why did you record this video?"
However, Yang Han has his own principles; he simply did not make things difficult for Qilin: "Alright, Qilin, thank you! I will look into this matter further."
Yang Han does not accept gifts, which is the same reason he does not want to sign a contract for a live broadcast with dolphins
However, the recording tonight may not be able to continue...
When any hobby evolves into a job, it will no longer feel as wonderful as it once did! It's just like what a report said about subtitle translators for short films; they become so numb from watching short films that there is no longer any "interest" to speak of
Usually, small donations from fans can be overlooked, as Yang Han does not have the energy to pay much attention to them. However, for large donations, Yang Han still feels it is necessary to strongly advise against them.
Yes, weren't we just thinking about how to help Uncle Yang understand and support you in participating in the program? I have an idea now, we need to help Uncle Yang secure an opportunity to appear on "Chinese Good Voice"! Let me check... Yes, just like last year, the registration for "Chinese Good Voice" is also happening around this time!" Peng Xueyuan said excitedly as he placed the computer on the coffee table.
"Alright, I will do my best," Peng Xueyuan replied with a determined expression
Bring the guitar from the study
... ...
Otherwise
Yang Han does not need to wait too long, as his subordinate, Sister Zhuang, has already relayed the news that a refund will be arranged for tomorrow. Only then is he satisfied and returns to his study, back to his live streaming room
Yang Han left the frame, leaving only a chair there, solitary and "broadcasting" in her stead
I also find it strange; this was instructed by Manager Pei over the phone, but he also received orders from above. Perhaps it is related to some boss? The boss shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he was also unaware of the details. As it was a direct request from higher-ups, he could only act as a tool, following orders!
Sister Zhuang, do we have any dealings with Dolphin Live?
Will I be beaten by Uncle Yang in the future
So he is such a being with extraordinary connections and influence!
Today we will end the broadcast here. As for the money from that big brother just now, I have arranged for someone to handle it, and it should be refunded to him by tomorrow. Everyone, get some rest early. Next time, your moon and my heart, Teacher Ge will not part with you!" Seeing that there were not many viewers, Yang Han's enthusiasm for the live broadcast also waned. He hastily explained a few things and then shut down the computer to end the broadcast.
"Brother, I have told you that this is against the regulations. Moreover, I am merely a super administrator responsible for reviewing contracts; I do not have the authority to assist you in processing refunds. You mentioned that shutting down the gifting channel is not very realistic. I can inquire about it, but I estimate it will not be successful," said Qilin helplessly.
"Sign my dad up for 'Chinese Good Voice'?" Yang Ruoyi looked at her friend in surprise
Based on what you said about his age, I estimate that the second possibility is likely to be even greater! "Rou Dai confidently made this judgment.
However, since there is nothing particularly important at this late hour, Qilin patiently continued to advise: "Let’s not mention that you haven’t signed a contract with us yet and are not a contracted anchor of Dolphin Live. Even if you were contracted, I doubt it would work. Because I have never heard of any top anchors refunding money to their fans! Just think about it, if the platform refunds this gift money and sets this precedent, wouldn’t anyone who regrets their donation have a reason to ask Dolphin for a refund in the future?" Because I have never heard of any top anchors refunding money to their fans! Just think about it, if the platform refunds this gift money and sets this precedent, wouldn’t anyone who regrets their donation have a reason to ask Dolphin for a refund in the future?
Rou Dai misjudged the situation; it is evident that the first possibility is the correct one!
Of course, it is impossible for him to be so saintly as to demand that every streamer refuse donations, because just because he does not need the money from live streaming to make a living does not mean that others do not need it
The distant lights shine brightly, as you walk alone with your head down
Why are you hitting me
"Is this going to be refunded? Boss, can our dolphins still refund the fans?" Qilin couldn't help but ask
Yang Han was in contact with a super administrator named "Qilin" from Dolphin Live. Last week, he sent private messages and made phone calls to Yang Han, expressing his interest in Yang Han's potential and inquiring whether Yang Han would like to sign a contract. Although Yang Han did not agree, he naturally assumed that Qilin was the official representative responsible for him
Yang Han has seen a news report about a sanitation worker's child who gave all the money his mother had saved for his education to a female live streamer. Meanwhile, the mother, holding her phone, cried out for help, yet found no assistance.
The fluctuations of emotions were somewhat intense, and there were glimmers of light in Yang Han's eyes
Qilin is on the night shift tonight, and being a supervisor for the dolphins is somewhat challenging. The routine shift changes are tough, and the content review he has to do tonight is even more arduous. He has to inspect multiple live streaming rooms one by one.
There is a little-known fact that after arriving in this world, Yang Han's memories of the previous world became clearer and more deeply etched, much like videos stored on a computer
Indeed, empathize with others and think from their perspective
Hehe! Yang Ruoyi was in a great mood, and she cheerfully reached out to cup her little friend's face and playfully rubbed it, almost making it round. "I was so excited that I made a mistake!"
On one side was the formidable Uncle Yang, and on the other was his close friend Yi Yi. Peng Xueyuan made an irrational choice
Retrieve the information regarding the rewards given in his live broadcast and send it to the finance department. They will process the refunds when they return to work tomorrow. The boss patted Qilin on the shoulder
Do not assume that watching live broadcasts without using your brain means that the role of a moderator is easy
However, after such a long time of "chair broadcasting," the live streaming room has become quite desolate
After hanging up the phone with Qilin, Yang Han dialed the number of a person listed in the contacts as "Manager Zhuang".
Indeed, this is the reasoning! Normal operators are generally unwilling to set this precedent
The Chinese Voice? The girls were all taken aback
"Dear Qilin, how about this: I will pay you 20,000 yuan! You help me return it to that fan, and by the way, please help me close the channel for sending gifts in my live stream, is that okay?" Yang Han did not want to put Qilin in a difficult position, and he was too lazy to waste too much time on such a trivial matter, after all, he was someone who dealt with millions every minute!
Thank you for your love, these songs of the "past" have melodies that are too familiar, familiar enough to awaken the memories of the "past" deep within his mind
But he now wants to be a good person
Yi Yi has not returned yet, and Yang Han is sitting alone in the quiet living room, her thoughts somewhat disordered
Rise
Qilin even felt somewhat fortunate: at least when he spoke to him on the phone, his tone was still quite normal, unlike some super administrators who would condescend to the smaller streamers below them
"Peng Peng, could you please help me record a few more singing videos?" Yang Ruoyi said energetically, clenching her fist with a somewhat commanding air, "Choose the best ones. We must ensure that my father successfully registers! That way, he can participate in 'Chinese Good Voice,' and Feifei and I can join 'The Birth of a Girl Group.' He won't be able to say anything to us then!"
Qilin suddenly realized and nodded.
In this empty and desolate living room, Yang Han silently began to play.
This phone call appeared particularly concise compared to the previous ones; aside from briefly outlining the events, Yang Han only spoke three sentences in total
