Chapter 358 - 214: Your Sister Has a Lot of Potential! Holy Shit
Zhu Ling was also part of the shoot. However, the ten-million contract she had signed previously already included five appearances in promotional advertisements, so there was no need to sign a separate contract this time.
As for Little Maru and the other two, Radiant Square wasn’t stingy, paying them 200,000 each. Otherwise, for shooting a single video in 2018, their appearance fee wouldn’t have been anywhere near 200,000, given their fanbases.
When they arrived at Radiant Square, Lin Hao was already there, accompanied by three other girls. They weren’t Qianqian, Blue-clothed War God, or Teacher San Shang; he had apparently given the opportunity to others.
"Lao Cheng, we were just waiting on you for the signing," Lin Hao said with a smile when he saw him.
The manager in charge from the plaza had already prepared the contracts. Once everyone had arrived, he led the girls aside to sign them.
Lin Hao then showed him a photo. It was of an event promotion for Xinghe Plaza. They had invited several major influencers, including Wangzai, to host an event at their plaza.
’The sight of Xinghe Plaza made him think of Zhao Yuan. A textbook case of a rich kid who couldn’t think with anything but his dick. The guy seemed completely brainless.’
’If the guy hadn’t been so arrogant and tried to make a move on Ximeng, the entire Zhu Ling project would have gone to Xinghe Plaza.’
’Then, after Zhu Ling blew up, the guy had the nerve to call again, acting all high and mighty. He thought tossing a mere three million our way would be enough to make me and Zhu Ling come groveling. His level of class was truly something else.’
"Lao Cheng, Xinghe Plaza hiring these influencers is clearly a move against Radiant Square. Is your plan going to be affected? After all, Wangzai is on a huge roll right now. He gets over a million concurrent viewers on his livestreams. He’s the undisputed top dog."
Lin Hao was a little worried.
"No need to worry," Chen Jincheng said with a smile. "These PK streamers are terrible at offline events. Take Wangzai, for instance. He’s just a master of recycling traffic. Even if his gift score during PK battles is sky-high, he doesn’t actually have that many real viewers. He’d be lucky if even thirty percent of those million-plus viewers were actual people."
"Without making it onto trending topics or the hot list, how many people can they really draw just by relying on their fanbases? That Zhao Yuan wants to copy our use of influencer marketing, but he hasn’t grasped the first thing about it."
"However, their event will definitely look very lively on site. There will certainly be a lot of people there. At two hundred yuan a head, you can hire quite a crowd."
Lin Hao was stunned. "No way. People actually do that?"
Chen Jincheng wasn’t surprised by Lin Hao’s disbelief.
After all, this was the era where PK streamers reigned supreme. The time hadn’t yet come for them to fall out of favor, with top-tier ones getting banned one after another.
’All of this was information that only came to light in his previous world, back when those PK streamers were getting banned.’
So he added, "Just have someone investigate when the time comes, and you’ll see. If Xinghe Plaza gets exposed for faking a crowd for their event, their reputation will take another hit, don’t you think?"
"Right." Lin Hao nodded.
If that was true, then not only would Xinghe Plaza have wasted all the money they spent hiring those influencers, but their reputation would suffer another blow. At that point, they would be absolutely no competition for his Radiant Square.
"By the way, how is He Lian’s training coming along?" Chen Jincheng asked.
Lin Hao immediately explained, "We hired the most famous acting coach in Coastal City to teach her. It’s just one expression, so she should have it perfected by tonight."
「That evening.」
They were still at Radiant Square.
Chen Jincheng saw that Lin Hao had brought He Lian with him.
"Mr. Chen," He Lian greeted Chen Jincheng respectfully.
Chen Jincheng nodded. "Greet me with ’Here we go, bro!’ again."
He Lian nodded, immediately rummaged through her bag, and took out two prop skewers of kidneys. Then, she shouted at him naturally, "Here we go, bro!"
This time, Chen Jincheng immediately felt the enthusiasm, the heartiness, the sincerity... and that infectious, meme-worthy quality.
Plus, her voice really carried. It was excellent.
’Sure enough,’ he thought, ’a day of professional coaching makes all the difference.’
’An act like that would be more than enough to win over the tourists coming for kidney skewers. And when they film their own videos, the viral quality won’t be lost.’
"Lao Cheng, what do you think?" Lin Hao asked immediately.
Chen Jincheng nodded. "That’s it. Let’s head to her stall and shoot a video to upload."
"Okay!" Lin Hao nodded. ’After all, he’d hired the most famous acting coach for He Lian. Wasn’t this the very moment he’d been waiting for?’
After putting on masks, they went to He Lian’s stall. Chen Jincheng had her grill two actual skewers of kidneys first, so she could hold the finished product for the video.
Chen Jincheng took out his phone, got the camera ready, and called out to her, "You can start now."
He Lian immediately belted out with enthusiasm, "Here we go, bro!"
The shout made all the nearby vendors turn to look, staring at the fat woman, a bit dumbfounded.
’What in the world was that? She scared the daylights out of us.’
Chen Jincheng was happy with the very first take. After he finished filming, he sent the video to Lin Hao to upload to He Lian’s account.
"Lao Cheng, are you sure this video will have the effect you described?" Lin Hao asked, a little uncertain. The video was definitely catchy, especially the line ’Here we go, bro!’, but could it really cause another massive surge in foot traffic for Radiant Square?
Doubts aside, he knew Lao Cheng’s capabilities better than anyone. He trusted that Lao Cheng knew what he was doing, so he immediately uploaded the video to He Lian’s account.
Chen Jincheng didn’t hesitate either. He sent the same video to Yijin and his video clipping team, telling them to publish it simultaneously.
That way, when he used the "’Here we go, bro!’ Heat Card," people who had previously seen videos from the clip accounts would be drawn to this new one as well.
