Chapter 9 Ex-girlfriend Oda
Seeing the annual salary of tens of millions, Gu Yi couldn't help but be stunned. This was more than double the original amount.
It's worth noting that in the LPL league right now, there are only a handful of players with an annual salary of over ten million yuan, and only the top three teams have that.
Others,
For example, even in 2018, it only had 800 million.
Others generally earned between 200 and 300 million.
A somewhat famous person has 500 million.
The fact that a player with a hand injury who needs to rest could be offered a high price of tens of millions is enough to show the ambition of the two new teams.
They simply want to use his championship title as a stepping stone to attract more talented young players and quickly build a team system.
Gu Yi smiled and decisively refused.
"Thank you for your kind offer, but I don't want to switch teams for the time being."
He promised the principal he would tell him in two months.
Just finished replying.
A message came from a familiar profile picture; it was Factory Bro.
"Ignore them."
The factory manager's message was very direct.
"Everyone's trying to use your name to pave their own way, so be careful!"
Gu Yi replied with a smile.
"I understand, but I don't have any ideas yet."
"Let's talk about it after the exhibition match is broadcast live this weekend."
The factory manager added.
"That way, those people will realize your value."
"it is good."
Gu Yi didn't explain further.
He never intended to stay in the esports scene for long.
Moreover, he had done the math.
After IG wins the championship, they will be glorious for at most another year or two. Next year, with all the fighting and endorsements, earning 4000 million will be their peak.
If popularity is low, the number of viewers might be 2000 million, but if the performance declines, the income will only drop precipitously.
But entering the entertainment industry is different. As long as you can gain a foothold, you can develop in multiple areas such as endorsements, film and television, and music, and you will earn more than in e-sports.
At 2 PM, Gu Yi changed into a down jacket and hoodie, put on a baseball cap and black-rimmed glasses, and went out.
An hour and a half later,
Gu Yi took a car to Liuxiang Highway in the JD district.
Because Zhang Yelei's company is located here.
The creative park here has few people.
There aren't many commercial facilities.
However, vines climb all over the green tiles and white walls.
Instead, it exudes a touch of artistic flair.
As he walked into Ye Tan Media, a young woman at the front desk, who was about his age, looked up and her eyes lit up. She muttered something under her breath.
"So handsome!"
"Handsome guy, are you an artist here to record a song?"
Gu Yi smiled.
"No, I made an appointment with Zhang Yelei to discuss cooperation."
"Oh, you're looking for Teacher Zhang. Then come with me."
The receptionist led him to Zhang Yelei's office door.
"Teacher Zhang, a guest is looking for you."
After knocking on the door, the girl whispered a reminder.
The door was pulled open.
Zhang Yelei sized up Gu Yi for a few seconds.
"Boss Gu!"
"I didn't recognize him at first glance!"
"I never imagined that wearing a hat and glasses would make me look so different from how I look when I'm playing a game."
The Gu Yi before me had lost the sunny and cheerful demeanor he displayed on the field, and instead exuded the composure of a gentle, engineering-minded man, making him completely different in temperament.
"Forehead..."
Gu Yi smiled.
"Hello!"
"What's your name?"
"Just call me Teacher Zhang."
Zhang Yelei stepped aside to let him in.
"Come in and have a seat!"
"To make a long story short, how do you plan to change it?"
I sent you a WeChat message.
Gu Yi went in, sat down, and then opened WeChat to send the file over.
"Teacher Zhang, the lyrics underlined above need to be revised, and the arrangement should be changed to be more grand and majestic."
Zhang Yelei opened the WeChat document and breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's not a nonsensical adaptation, that's fine.
It's common for cover songs to be more popular than the originals these days, but some of the adaptations are just too much for people to accept.
For example, Shan Yichun's adaptation of "Li Bai" still puzzles Gu Yi. At first, Shan Yichun's songs were listenable, but later they became unbearable.
What's more outrageous is that
She also keeps trying to ride on other people's popularity.
It's simply that the capital behind it saw that people could make a lot of money by holding concerts after the pandemic, so they acted recklessly.
They are becoming increasingly less compliant with copyright rules.
"Would you mind singing the original version a cappella?"
Zhang Yelei looked up and asked.
Gu Yi nodded, cleared his throat, and began to sing softly in the quiet studio.
"We guessed and guessed, thought and thought, and finally decided to break up! Why did our ending still have to be the same?"
"You said I have no ideas, no romance, and am annoying! Why didn't you say so before, but waited until now?!"
Gu Yi's voice was clean and clear, carrying just the right amount of emotion. Zhang Yelei was instantly amazed, never expecting that this e-sports champion would have such good singing skills.
"Boss Gu, no problem!"
Zhang Yelei suppressed his surprise and asked seriously.
"Are you planning to buy all the licenses?"
"Yes."
Gu Yi nodded.
"I plan to sing it for my fans in the live stream. In addition to releasing the adapted and covered version, I may also sing it at a concert in the future."
"If it's not a permanent purchase, only the adaptation rights and live streaming rights are needed; each concert counts as one performance."
Zhang Yelei explained.
How are the prices divided?
"Non-permanent: 2 per year; permanent: 10 per year."
"Then let's make it permanent."
Gu Yi did not hesitate.
He doesn't know if he'll sing in the future, so there's no need to renew the subscription every year; he might as well just make it permanent.
"No problem, I'll go prepare the contract."
"Are you speaking in your personal capacity or...?"
This song hasn't become a hit yet, so the price isn't high.
Actually, if you were to get a package license from a music association, a cover song would cost a maximum of 1500.
Unfortunately, Zhang Yelei did not authorize the Music Association.
Singers who just laugh are much more expensive.
"Use Gu Yi Studio."
Gu Yi replied.
Yesterday, he actually set up two companies on Taobao.
One is Gu Yi Studio, which is used to handle his personal business, performance fees, endorsements, and other related matters.
Another company, Guyi Media, is responsible for signing artists, investing in projects, producing films and television series, and operating an MCN (Multi-Channel Network).
It will make it easier to raise funds, bring in partners, expand the business, and avoid the involvement of personal assets.
In the end, Gu Yi spent 10 yuan to finalize the song licensing agreement.
Not far from the studio,
Gu Yi suddenly received a message on WeChat.
"I heard you injured your hand, how is it now?"
The sender was Tian Xiwei, and the profile picture was of her wearing a pink outfit, with long, straight black hair and white furry boots that highlighted her long, white legs.
That was a very Korean-style photo of a young girl.
Gu Yi looked at the message of concern, his expression somewhat complicated.
This was the original owner's first love. Although the two had broken up for more than a year, they did not take the final step in their memories.
However, the last time the two spoke was a phone call a year ago. He still hasn't figured out how to resolve the situation.
But flirting with them is still possible.
"Isn't that the famous star, Tian?"
He replied in a sarcastic tone.
"Speak properly to me."
Tian Xiwei sent a meme of a cat getting angry.
She had been worried about him for so long and finally mustered up the courage to talk to him. How could he say such a thing!
Can't you be nicer to me?
"Can't we talk this out properly?"
Gu Yi sighed softly.
When he first came to Shanghai...
To a large extent, it was because of Tian Xiwei.
At the time, they were both in high school at Tongliang Middle School. In their second year of high school, he rescued her from being bullied by some thugs.
The two, a handsome man and a beautiful woman, naturally came together.
Last year, Tian Xiwei signed with Haohan Star Source, whose boss is Gong Yuhan, a well-known casting director and agent in the entertainment industry. The company also has artists such as Qin Hao and Li Lin under its management.
The first thing Gong Yuhan did was to make the two break up, saying that he would hold her back.
