SON-IN-LAW GETS AN UPGRADE - Season 6 Episode 34

After Heather showered and prepared to make supper, she heard a notification alert from her phone

It came from one of her fans on Twitter.

Today, she added a few fans. However, there were too many groups to add, and Twitter only could allow her to add a few hundred of them. Therefore, she stopped doing it after some time.

Since it was from a fan, Heather picked up her phone to check the notification. To her surprise, the message read: “Hello! I am from New Media Organization. Our chairman saw potential in you, and we like to offer you a contract. If you take it, we will promote you and make sure you become a top live streamer in no time.”

The message took Heather by surprise. She had no clue what the organization did. Therefore, she went online to search about them instead of immediately replying.

Taking a seat, she searched about them and finally understood their job scope.

To put it simply, they were riding on the success of live streamers.

On paper, it sounded good as they helped put one’s videos on the recommended list. While it would increase one’s viewership and popularity, one would have to pay a monthly commission for it. Some organizations took an even higher cut.

They were like the managers of celebrities.

Even after her research, there was one thing that Heather did not understand. Once she signed the contract, it meant giving up on her freedom.

per The organization would fix her live stream hours, such that she had to meet certain required hours day or month. This term did not sound ideal, and she did not want to be bound by any of these terms.

However, she did not refute the offer immediately and decided to call Jessica. Not only was the Volcano Media Group a subsidiary of the Four Seas Corporation, but Jessica was also her closest friend in school. “Jessica, are you going to bed soon?” Once the call connected, Heather gleefully greeted.

“No, how about you? Why are you calling at this hour? Did something happen?” Jessica asked out of curiosity.

“Haha, yes, there is something I want to ask you. Well, I started live streaming on Volcano recently. Since I do not have a contract with any platform, and I’m not a permanent live streamer tied to a contract, how much is my cut from the donations?” Heather realized that she had failed to consider this question. She did not expect to receive so much attention or any donations from the start. Therefore, she did not bother

with it.

However, she received two million in donations in one day alone. As such, she needed to clarify it.

After some thought, Jessica explained, “Before you sign a contract, you will receive a thirent cut, while the platform receives a seventy percent cut. If you sign a contract, it will depend have negotiated. Some will receive the same share, while some will receive seventy p platforms can offer as high as a seventy percent to you, which usually only applies to

streamers.”

“Oh? Does that mean that I will only get thirty percent of the donations I received today?” H

taken aback by the shocking revelation. She was not happy.

Her donations amounted to two million. Yet, it seemed too little if one calculated the thirty percent portion.

Aware that Heather felt annoyed, Jessica paused for a while before she replied, “However, you received quite a lot of donations today. Perhaps, I can try to ask my general manager if you can receive fifty percent or forty percent of it.”

Jessica knew Volcano’s general manager personally. She was confident that if she told him that Heather was Alex’s wife, he would not even protest if she proposed receiving nothing from her.

Unfortunately, she also knew that Heather would be suspicious, so she prepared to bargain the maximum they could give, which was seventy percent for Heather.

“Jessica, thank you so much! When I receive my money, I will surely treat you to a meal,” Heather cheered.

“Sure.” Jessica grinned.

Then, Heather continued, “Oh, I have another problem that I need your opinion. New Media Organization found me and told me to join their organization. In return, they would promote me. Do you think they are reliable?”

Shaking her head, Jessica responded, “To any other person, it is better to join an organization. After all, they will teach you tricks on live streaming and help with your promotional activities. When you grow famous enough, they can also secure advertisement deals for you too. On the flip side, they will also take a cut from you. But based on your popularity today, I think there is no need for you to join them.

Since you have gained some traction, the platform will automatically promote you as they know that you have potential to grow more.”

“Ah, I see. All right, thank you so much for the valuable advice, Jessica. I shan’t keep you up for any longer then.” With that, Heather ended the call.
