"First of all, thank you for coming on such short notice. Let explain what this program is for."
Mr. Taka started and operated his smartwatch, changing the screen hovering on the table. The blue screen showed an image with an explanation on the side.
"The program, we called it Speedrun Hell! Three Veterans with Three Newbies! Not the best na, I know. But it gives context and makes the viewers curious. Hahaha. That's what's important in this business."
Max laughed together with Mr. Taka. He agreed that the na sounded so... cliché and bad, but he also agreed that it gave enough context while invoking the viewers' curiosity.
'I can think of a better na, but I should just agree with him.'
The negotiation had started, and Max knew Mr. Taka wanted to see his reaction to the title and the program. For now, he should just listen and not interrupt him until the explanation was finished.
"The program is simple. We have already invited three veteran strears who have proved their skills and are in the top 10 of Knight's Journey speedrun." Mr. Taka started. He pushed his glasses up and had a serious expression.
"Unlike the normal story, the speedrun only includes defeating a barbarian army and taking over a fort. There are many speedruns categories, but we chose the hardest and the one that took the shortest ti. Currently, the duo's world record is 48 minutes 32 seconds. Ah, you just played, right? Do you understand what I talked about?"
"I understand, Mr. Taka. Indeed, I just played a ga yesterday, but I have watched many strears before." Max scratched his cheek and smiled sheepishly. "Hahaha, I only managed to save enough money to buy one."
"And yet you played wonderfully." Mr. Taka praised with an honest smile.
"Because you understand, let's skip this and go to the main issue. We don't hope to create a new world record, but we want to show how exciting Knight's Journey is. This is why we planned this program. As a player, I believe you see the charm of the ga, right?"
"Indeed. It's a good ga, and I enjoyed playing it so far. The realism of the ga is captivating ."
"Right?! That's what we want to show the viewers!" Mr. Take exclaid excitedly. "So, Mr. Breeze. As I already explained the goal of our program, let's talk about the contract. As the representative of Biozone Entertainnt's Marketing Team, I invite you to join this program."
After saying so, Mr. Taka swiped his hand, and the screen changed once again. This ti, it showed a white background with text and the word 'Contract' written boldly on the top.
The screen moved closer to Max as Mr. Taka controlled its movent with his hand.
"Please read the contract first. Of course, you can't say this to anyone else. I also didn't ntion the other strear's na in the contract until the announcent to keep this confidential."
Max nodded at Mr. Taka and carefully read the contract.
What was written was what he could do and couldn't. It was pretty simple, seeing it was only a contract for a one-ti appearance instead of a long-term contract with the company.
'I will be given a $1,500 minimum guarantee for my appearance and a free ga released by Biozone Entertainnt. Bonus will be given if the target of 1 Million total peak viewers in Punch is reached.'
He carefully read it so he didn't miss even a single word.
This contract would be a turning point in his career, whether he would stay normal and grind from the start or he would get a headstart from other new strears, which popped up one after another, hoping to reach the top.
But if sothing in the contract could ruin his reputation from the start, he could also end his career here. That was why he needed to be careful.
Fortunately, there was nothing like a hidden trap written in small letters or sothing like that.
'The bonus isn't written here. But point 5 is interesting. My na will be posted on the Knight's Journey official page in the announcent 3 days before the event, and my Punch account link will also be posted in the description.'
After reading the contract, Max continued to read what he was forbidden to do.
'I am just forbidden from talking about it or disclosing the program until Biozone Entertainnt makes an official announcent. I need to finish the Knight's Journey once before the program to get used to it. I can probably do that.'
Max was satisfied with the condition. The free ga from Biozone was sothing he liked, as he did not have enough money to spend, and he couldn't just rely on the system. But he didn't accept it imdiately since there was one confusing point.
"Excuse , Mr. Taka. But what's this bonus written in point 4?"
"Oh, that. My apologies. It seems that I have sent a non-revised version." Mr. Taka laughed dryly, noticing his mistake.
Ti was valuable, and after watching the entire VODs of Breeze's streams last night, Mr. Taka decided to change the contract slightly. He hadn't had enough sleep and beca careless.
'How embarrassing.' He thought as he put up the revised version.
Max read it once more. There was nothing changed about the monetary and free ga points, but the points 4 about bonus had changed slightly.
'If the peak viewers for Knight's Journey managed to pass 1 Million a week after the program, Biozone Entertainnt will invite the winner of the program into the Biozone monthly segnt. The appearance fee and contract will be discussed on a later day.'
His jaw dropped.
The winner would be invited to the Biozone monthly segnt! This was a great honor and chance for all strears in the world!
The monthly segnt usually talked about gas and Biozone Entertainnt's affiliated strears with the most growth in an interview manner. Sotis, the interviewer also invited the guests to show off their skills in VR.
Compared to the program in Max's past life, this monthly segnt was more like a monthly ga show that was popular among gars or enthusiasts.
Max was interested in this because this monthly segnt always had more than 500K viewers on Punchtube, a video streaming platform.
It was great publicity. No, it was the best publicity that a newbie could hope for.
Even if there was a veteran strear with him that would beco a headlight, Max didn't mind that. As long as he could make his na rembered and create a lasting impression on the viewers, that would be a win for him.
'I need to win in the program.' He thought as his grin widened. 'I can't waste my chance to show off and spread my na.'
He raised his head and said, "I accept the offer, Mr. Taka. I am looking forward to working with you."
" too, Mr. Breeze." Mr. Taka smiled and shook hands with Max. "Let call our company lawyer to finalize the contract."
