Chapter 102 Official star daily contract
"There is another unidentified flying space ship approaching us, the pilot has identified herself as an employee of the star daily. She says that they scheduled a meeting with you." Adler explained to Scarlet his reasons for calling her again.
"Let them through after the proper security checks." she answered.
Since they were not part of the immigrants, for them the process of going through security was much quicker and soon the star daily team was with Scarlet. Her presence was not required here anymore so she drove Mr. Rodney as he identified himself, his pilot and the two assistants that came with him to her family's home.
On the ride, Mr. Rodney was already pitching the benefits of Scarlet signing with the star daily live stream department to her.
"We will give you full autonomy over your live streams, I am aware that you are a governor and a busy one so we do not expect you to broadcast everyday but if you want to grow your audience it's advisable that you do one broad cast a day. Even if it's not cooking but just showing the viewers your daily life, your harvesting broadcast for example brought in a lot of viewers. The video is still pinned on the star net official website as one of the most viewed videos this month and the views are still climbing."
"It could be because they caught a glimpse of Esong Wu in the video." she retorted. She could still vividly recall the excitement of her female viewers when he passed by.
"Maybe or maybe not, the five second view of general Esong does not account for the continuous trending of the video. The most searched questions on the star net and hottest topics include , 'what is a chicken?', 'How much does a chicken cost?', 'Chips are the best food in the world', 'Scarlet Su's sun glasses, Scarlet Su's dress, Scarlet Su's fashion, Harvesting oats, oat bread and milk vs oat bread and plain tea.
Every month, the thirty trending and hottest topics are listed and networks such as ours see how we can use those topics to our advantage. You and the things related to you have occupied ten spots alone this month which shows how influential you are. But this alone does not grow your brand because because despite all this you are still stuck at twenty two million followers on the star net and thirty percent of the followers are anti fans." he showed her the data that had been collected, analyzed and compiled.
"Wow," she said as she parked as the car. "You have done so much research."
"I am good at what I do governor Scarlet," he assured her, "I see the potential in what you are trying to do, building the blue star alone and transforming it will bring you more viewers than an idol at a concert because it's new and fresh. The star daily has a viewership of over one billion, with us you can go far. My aim is make you the number one in the empire. If the star net is connected to other galaxies after the peace talks of next year then I will work hard to make you number one in their galaxies too."?he spoke sonorously and convincingly like a motivational speaker.
They had arrived in front of the house so she parked the car and they all disembarked. As she walked them to the wide and open dining hall where people usually sat in their free time just to hold conversations and eat something leisurely, she reminded him, "Mr. Rodney may I remind you of the type of contract I told the entire world I wanted? I am still standing by it , I believe in myself as much as you believe in me and I am confident that even if I am not yet the best I will be the best eventually.?You say that I am stuck at twenty million followers but when I started I did not even have half of that number and all I had were anti fans. In a matter of weeks I have done something that somebody with a full team and the backing of a network cannot do."
"I am aware of the kind of contract you want and it is what I offer, a three year S contract that gives you fifty percent of all your earnings. On top of that we will pay you three million star coins a month. As your influence grows we will up the level of contract, salary, exposure and benefits." He added eagerly. "Because you are a busy person the company is willing to offer you a full time assistant, a make up team and a set of broadcasting equipment like drones, cameras, An AI audio and video editing software, one robot bodyguard and tickets to every live event you wish to attend in the empire."
Anybody else that was being offered all of these things would jump at the opportunity and beg to sign the contract immediately. Some singers, actors and live streamers had been in the industry for years but they never received such a contract or perks.
"My family is still banned from leaving the blue star right now Mr. Rodney so the tickets are useless to me. I do not need a make up team and the assistant is only useful if she or he is loyal to me and not the company. I also cannot sign a three year contract because I do not trust you well enough. What happens when you try to force me to do or say things I do not desire? With access to my account on your network it's easy to block me, blackmail me, threaten me or smear my name. You have the upper hand and I do not like it."
Mr. Rodney could feel his back perspiring, what he thought would be simple was not as he imagined. Despite being new to the streaming world, Scarlet was educated on how it operated. Where were all the people that called her stupid online? They should come out and prove this stupidity to him right now.
One of the female assistants that came with him saw him nervously shaking his right foot at a fast pace and she tapped his leg. He stopped shaking it and crossed his right leg over the left one.
"What length of time do you want?" he asked Scarlet.
"One year." she said.
"That will be hard to sell to my bosses." he said.
"I will renew the contract every year as long the star daily does not betray me, this can be put in the contract. I also want to maintain full control over my accounts. You have two days to think and decide, in the meantime you are free to enjoy your time our blue star."
