Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 354 - 213: You Can’t Be Serious! Unless You Have Magic Power

After making his comment, Zhao Yuan searched for the accounts of several other influencers. These were the ones he planned to hire for his event—extremely famous PK streamers who currently had the most traffic on Tiao Yin.

When it came to live streaming performance, Chen Jincheng and that Zhu Ling were nothing.

Even Zhu Ling’s streams only got 100,000-plus viewers, but among the people he was hiring was Wangzai, whose streams had just broken one million-plus viewers.

He had spent 10 million just to hire Wangzai alone.

The event at Xinghe Plaza was guaranteed to be packed.

Meanwhile, as the video of Chen Jincheng claiming the overweight woman could go viral overnight started trending, many netizens saw it.

The first thing most of them noticed was the woman’s obesity, and their faces filled with awkwardness.

What a joke.

Someone like that could become an influencer and go viral overnight?

Almost no one who saw it bought it. They felt influencers should have long legs and pretty faces.

"Someone that fat can be an influencer? My grandma could be an influencer!"

"Is this a joke?"

"Chen Jincheng, I hope you haven’t let the fame get to your head!"

"..."

...

Naturally, many MCNs also noticed the video.

This was especially true for OST, an MCN that had only recently decided to join Tiao Yin.

As the boss of OST, Yuan Peng had been paying attention to Chen Jincheng and Second-Life Star ever since he brought his MCN onto the Tiao Yin platform.

He had even copied many of Chen Jincheng’s development strategies for OST, such as signing a large number of girls from nightclubs as filler streamers. The results had been surprisingly good; these girls were indeed a more time- and-effort-efficient choice.

Many MCNs were now learning this trick. Their talent scouts were frequenting not only all sorts of nightclubs, but also foot massage parlors.

"What do you think? Is Chen Jincheng being arrogant, or is he actually confident?" Yuan Peng couldn’t help but ask his assistant.

"Boss, I don’t know much about Chen Jincheng," the assistant immediately offered his opinion. "But that woman is so fat and ugly it makes you lose your appetite. If he can make her famous overnight, there’s no justice in the world. Could it be that those clip accounts are really that powerful?"

Clip accounts were the main topic of discussion at their company today. They had started paying attention after learning about Chen Jincheng giving away the car.

Everyone had already agreed on one point: clip accounts were extremely important. Chen Jincheng gave away the Panamera specifically for the benefit of those clip account bloggers.

"Mm," Yuan Peng nodded.

’If even an ugly, overweight woman like that can be made famous, it must be because of the power of clip accounts. Just how many of them does Chen Jincheng control to be able to pull off something so incredible?’

Tiao Yin’s management had been closely following the Zhu Ling incident and Radiant Square for the past few days. After all, they had leveraged the event to Tiao Yin’s great advantage.

After various news outlets scrambled to report on the Zhu Ling incident, Tiao Yin successfully convinced many of those media outlets to join the platform and start posting videos.

This was a huge success.

Therefore, Tiao Yin was now paying very close attention to Chen Jincheng. The latest developments, including him giving away a Panamera today, were immediately reported to the president, Han Shangyou.

After getting out of the shower at home, Han Shangyou was quite surprised to see Chen Jincheng so confidently declare that the ugly, overweight woman could go viral overnight.

There were plenty of bizarre-looking, unattractive influencers on the internet. Taking an unconventional route could attract traffic, but most of them owed their success to luck.

"Are clip accounts really that powerful?" Han Shangyou couldn’t help but mutter.

That’s right, even Tiao Yin’s management hadn’t been paying much attention to clip accounts.

But today, after having the tech and data departments look into some of these accounts, he made a startling discovery. At the same time, he was even more astonished by Chen Jincheng’s ability. It was as if he understood how to play Tiao Yin’s game even better than they did.

In any case, he immediately took out WeChat and instructed his people to follow up on the matter.

Putting his phone down, he glanced at the drama playing on the TV, and a thought suddenly surfaced in his mind.

The main strategy of clip accounts was to create fragmented edits of an influencer’s exciting moments during a livestream to attract traffic.

So what about a film or TV series?

A single episode of a TV show is 40 minutes long. With the increasing pressures of modern society, how many people could patiently sit down and watch an entire episode?

Since the exciting moments of an influencer’s livestream could be edited by clip accounts to attract traffic...

Then what about film and TV shows?

Could a film and TV show editing feature be developed?

This was especially relevant now, as the plots of shows were trending toward becoming more and more watered-down. Things that could be resolved with a single sentence were being dragged out for several episodes.

Audiences didn’t like watching all that filler. Film and TV clip accounts could simply edit out the best moments, using the fragmented, fast-paced format to attract users.

This way, they could not only create clips from old shows but also from newly released ones. In the future, these clip accounts might even get hired for marketing campaigns by the production companies themselves.

In fact, when those entertainment companies released a new film or series, these clip accounts would become a crucial part of their promotional strategy. Slowly, Tiao Yin would become the primary marketing ground for the entertainment industry’s productions.

There was one more crucial point. Tiao Yin had always wanted to blur the line between celebrities and influencers. If media companies from the entertainment industry were active on Tiao Yin, it would help promote that objective.

With that thought, Han Shangyou immediately picked up his phone and dialed the head of the tech department, planning to get this idea in motion.

Chen Jincheng clearly had no idea that his actions had not only drawn everyone’s attention to clip accounts but had also caused the premature birth of a completely unrelated film and TV show editing feature.
