Zhang Yi wore black-rimmed glasses and a sharp suit. Smiling, he greeted Ye Chen politely and respectfully. "Hello, Mr. Ye. I'm Zhang Yi, the head of [Hero Glory]'s China division. It's an honor to represent [Hero Glory] and join your livestream tonight."
"Hello, Mr. Zhang. Thanks for the gifts. What song would you like to request?" Ye Chen replied with a smile.
Ye Chen had made money from [Hero Glory] before, and tonight the game had sent him gifts worth ten million yuan. He was happy to sing a song for the game and promote it.
But those ten million yuan in gifts covered tonight's song request. The copyright was a separate matter, and that would cost extra!
Zhang Yi replied, "We'd like you to write a song for [Hero Glory]'s 5v5 Team-Up Festival. You can sing it however you like. We really admire your talent. We'll gladly accept any song you write for our company, and we can negotiate the copyright fee."
Ye Chen liked partners who were this generous and easy to work with.
"No problem," Ye Chen said with a smile. "I play [Hero Glory] too. The game does a great job with its social features, and it's a lot of fun.
"But I'd like to speak up for all the players, myself included. Could you change the matchmaking system? Sometimes, even when a player performs really well—say, with a 20–0 record—they can still lose because they get matched with unfavorable teammates or opponents.
"This system makes players feel like they're being manipulated by the game. It's a terrible experience that ignores the game's fairness and the basic enjoyment of its players."
"Of course, no problem. We've taken your suggestion to heart and are already working on improvements," Zhang Yi hurriedly replied, nodding as sweat poured down
