Chapter 7

Actually, if it were just a regular matter, Yan Wenhé, as the Chief Content Officer of the video station, would not personally handle it. Otherwise, what would be the point of having his subordinates?

However, this time was an exception. Just now, Yan Wenhé received a report from the content department, where several content editors reported discovering an extremely engaging video. If it were just that, it wouldn't have been enough to make Yan Wenhé personally call the head of the Starlight Show Arena's artist department. Although they are subsidiaries of the Starlight Group, they operate independently and generally have no interaction.

Most importantly, while the Starlight Group's various subsidiaries have developed well, the Starlight Video Station, which started later, still has a significant gap compared to the top video stations in the country, despite the resources of the Starlight Group.

This time, Yan Wenhé took the initiative to act because he also watched that live streaming video, especially the talk show segment. As the Chief Content Officer of the Starlight Video Station, Yan Wenhé has a keen eye. After watching the video, he felt a sense of excitement.

What he valued was not just the video itself. A single engaging video might become popular for a while, but for a video station to develop, it needs sustainability.

What he valued was the video's host, Tang Feng's talent. He could see that this program was different from any current program, not something that could be easily imitated. It was absolutely a brand new program. From Tang Feng's live stream, he noticed that Tang Feng combined current events into jokes, and what surprised him was that Tang Feng did it all without a script, making it seem effortless, truly a talent.

More impressively, he found that all of Tang Feng's jokes were original, and he hadn't heard any of them before! In a world that values copyright, copying others' jokes could lead to legal action at any time.

Moreover, what he valued was not just one episode but Tang Feng's future programs. If he could sign Tang Feng, he could create a long-term program.

Unfortunately, his subordinates couldn't contact Tang Feng directly, so he had to call the head of the Starlight Show Arena's artist department for help.

On the other side, Yan Jianghua was watching Tang Feng's video, occasionally laughing at the jokes. This made him understand why Yan Wenhé called him. However, he had other thoughts in mind.

He had just learned that this "Feng Shao" was actually an unsigned host. Looking at the number of viewers in the room, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Yan Jianghua wouldn't have believed the numbers.

It was already late at night, yet the live stream, which wasn't even live, still had nearly 6,000 viewers. If that were all, he wouldn't be so surprised. More importantly, the chat room's capacity was only 1,000 people, and it was five times over capacity.

This made him start to think. If this live stream video were posted on the video station, it would definitely become popular. Otherwise, Yan Wenhé wouldn't have called him personally.

Yan Jianghua's fingers lightly tapped on the table. After a moment of thought, he opened the contract for signed hosts.

Suddenly, Yan Jianghua's eyes lit up because one of the clauses in the contract stated that all the copyrights of the videos streamed by signed hosts belong to the Starlight Show Arena.

"Hello, is this Mr. Yan? This is Yan Jianghua. I'm sorry, but that host is not a signed host, so we don't have his contact information!" Yan Jianghua said.

"I see! Regardless, thank you, Mr. Yan!" Yan Wenhé hung up the phone, his brows furrowing. He hadn't noticed that Tang Feng was not a signed host.

"I am Yan Jianghua. Find the host of that video immediately and get his contact information, then notify me!" Yan Jianghua hung up the phone with a smile.

He had been competing for the position of vice president of the Starlight Show Arena. If he could sign Tang Feng, the copyrights of Tang Feng's videos would belong to the Starlight Show Arena, and these videos would become a new source of revenue, greatly increasing his chances of becoming vice president.

Liu Yue is a content editor at Youdou.com. She also discovered Tang Feng's live stream video but couldn't find his contact information. She even tried contacting Tang Feng's Gold Guardian, Little Pig, but was mistaken for a scammer.

With no other choice, she had to seek help from the company. As a senior online video content editor, Liu Jie, like her, focuses on discovering engaging videos and recommending them.

She saw Tang Feng's live stream video because a friend mentioned it to her in QC.

Her friend highly praised Tang Feng, even saying that Youdou.com's original programs were nothing compared to Tang Feng's live stream. This naturally caught her attention, and out of curiosity, she watched Tang Feng's live stream video, immediately recognizing its potential.

Unfortunately, she couldn't contact the host!

"Ah!" Liu Yue suddenly rejoiced when she saw a private message from Little Pig: "Leave your phone number. I can't casually reveal Feng Shao's contact information, but I can contact him and have him contact you!"

"Sure! My phone number is..." Liu Yue replied immediately.

...

Tang Feng was completely unaware of all this. At that moment, he was having a dream about being a life winner. His habit was to set his phone to silent mode after going to bed to avoid disturbing his sleep.

The next morning, Tang Feng woke up and habitually picked up his phone, noticing several missed calls and a few text messages.

All the missed calls were from Little Pig, which made him curious. He called back.

"Little Pig, this is Feng Shao. Did you call me last night for something?" Tang Feng asked in surprise. Although Little Pig had his contact information, he rarely called, usually communicating through QC.

"Feng Shao? It's you! You finally called back!" Little Pig's voice was still groggy, clearly woken up by the call!

"What's up?" Tang Feng asked, puzzled.

"What's up? Bro, you're about to be famous! Last night, I received a bunch of private messages for you, from video websites, music companies, all asking for your contact information! I didn't give them your phone number, but I had them leave their numbers, which I sent to your phone. You decide what to do. I'm so tired, I'm going back to sleep, bye!" Little Pig hung up the phone.

Tang Feng was stunned for a moment, then opened his phone's text messages. Sure enough, there were messages from Youdou.com's video content editor, Starlight Video Station's content editor, Reku's music editor, and the Starlight Show Arena's artist department...
