An invitation from Sister Hong to join Second-Life Star was no different from when Chen Jincheng had extended his. The priority was to just get her to join first.
She was on the verge of agreeing when Chen Jincheng spoke up with a faint smile, "Sister Hong, don’t put Miss Li on the spot. Her dream is to be a big star. She’ll be joining a film crew soon."
"Oh, is that so? My apologies, that was presumptuous of ." Sister Hong quickly apologized to Li Muchen. ’It makes sense,’ she thought. ’If you can be a glamorous celebrity, who would want to be an internet influencer?’
So, she dropped the subject.
"..." Li Muchen was dumbfounded. ’How was that presumptuous? It wasn’t presumptuous at all!’
She looked over at Chen Jincheng and clearly saw a mischievous smirk on his face, which made her pause.
Thanks to Lin Leqing’s improvent, the shoot went smoothly today. They finished filming the "Unparalleled Good Man" video in the morning. By noon, Xiaoliao had edited it and uploaded it to Tiao Yin. In the afternoon, they continued by filming "The Right Way for Good n to Express Their Will to Live."
This way, Lin Leqing would be mostly free from filming next week. They would wait for the second video to gain traction, then upload the third one, by which ti the week would be almost over.
By evening, the hype around long-form videos on Tiao Yin had completely exploded.
Both Lin Leqing’s and Mikami Youya’s videos surpassed six million likes, and Pipa Sauce’s video broke three million. Furthermore, major influencers and MCN companies rushed to create their own skit-based accounts. Over the course of the day, a flood of new skit videos was uploaded.
Even with the MCNs’ assembly-line production thods, a number of excellent skit videos erged. Many of them even garnered a significant number of likes, ranging from 100,000 to 500,000.
It was nothing compared to the videos that were pulling in three or six million likes, but under normal circumstances, these numbers were considered excellent.
At Original Soundtrack, Yuan Peng looked over the three long-form videos his company had released.
One had hit 120,000 likes, another 270,000, and the third had reached 650,000.
The results were, frankly, brilliant. Under normal circumstances, when promoting a new influencer, getting even a few tens of thousands of likes on a video was considered a great success.
"Increase our investnt. Select another group of our talents to shoot more long-form skit videos," Yuan Peng instructed his assistant.
Afterward, he opened Tiao Yin to check the trending page for long-form videos. ’My company’s video with 650,000 likes should be ranked fourth on the trending list, right?’
’The only ones it can’t beat are Pipa Sauce’s three-million-like video and those two from Chen Jincheng and Ah Hao.’
But when he opened the trending page for long-form videos, he froze. The fourth-place spot was held by a video titled "Unparalleled Good Man," and it already had 1.8 million likes.
’Since when?’ Yuan Peng was astonished.
A quick glance confird it was still Lin Leqing’s account.
’Did Chen Jincheng film this one too?’
’Judging by the upload ti, this video is probably on its way to six million likes as well...’
’Fuck! He already had one video blow up like that, and now there’s another one?’
He imdiately clicked on the video. A mont later, his cheek began to twitch. It was another simp video, and this one was even more over-the-top than the last.
’You’re supposed to be the number one scumbag on the internet. Are you ever going to stop making these damn simp videos?’
However, he did glean a few things from the video. First, it used the sa setting as the previous one. Second, the identities of the male and female leads hadn’t changed.
It was kind of like a sequel in a sitcom.
’That’s... actually a pretty good idea.’
He imdiately ordered his assistant, "Find two young people, a man and a woman, to film a series about their daily dating life... No, that’s just being a copycat. We’ll do sothing in the vein of ’The Arrogant President Falls in Love with .’ Go find two of our talents who fit that image."
It wasn’t just Yuan Peng. Seeing that both of Lin Leqing’s videos had blown up, everyone else was scrambling to take action.
「In the apartnt.」
Watching her cousin excitedly stare at the stats on her phone, Li Muchen felt a secret pang of envy.
’The Tiao Yin platform is insane,’ she thought suddenly.
Just like that, her cousin was now an influencer with over two million followers.
Just then, she received a ssage on WeChat from Sister Ai: "Mu Chen, your cousin is killing it! Two million followers! Tonight on set, I saw the second female lead co across her video. She jealously muttered sothing about ’so stupid influencer,’ but she’s definitely envious. After all, her own Tiao Yin account only has 580,000 followers, haha."
Reading this, Li Muchen felt even more envious of her cousin.
Sister Ai sent another ssage: "Mu Chen, your cousin’s a hit now. If you get an opportunity like this, you have to seize it. Seriously, you should really give these kinds of videos a try."
Li Muchen understood, of course. She instinctively pulled out her phone and sent a ssage to Chen Jincheng: "Mr. Chen, are you still going to the gym tomorrow?"
anwhile, over at Jiang Xiaobai’s house, Chen Jincheng contentedly lit a cigarette and glanced at the ga-like interface in his mind.
Constitution Points: 475.
He had already used 25 Constitution Points and could feel that his physique was already much stronger than before.
He also saw Li Muchen’s ssage.
’So she wants to join but is too proud to just say it. Playing these kinds of gas, are we?’
’How hard is it to just open her mouth and ask?’
Still, he didn’t mind having a beautiful woman accompany him to the gym. He replied, "Yeah, I’ll be there."
Upon receiving his reply, Li Muchen imdiately typed back: "I’ll wait for you at the gym tomorrow, Mr. Chen."
