Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities
Chapter 236 - 170: The Madness of Subject Three! There’s No Way This Will Get Popular
At the same time, he checked her employee profile:
Name: Li Ke
Loyalty: 60
Status: After being screwed over by CYH for so long, she’s not sure what to expect from Second-Life Star. At least the 15% service fee is acceptable, and Chen Jincheng is very famous.
This was the data of a typical new hire, and her mindset was that of a normal job-hopper.
It was safe to say she didn’t feel much of a sense of belonging to Second-Life Star yet. What little loyalty she had was only because of the two-year contract.
If she didn’t see any career growth at Second-Life Star within those two years, she would probably leave.
This was also why Chen Jincheng preferred signing newcomers. A rookie, desperate to become an influencer, would definitely sign a five-year contract. He could use his plans to make them famous, and the profits over those five years would certainly be greater. On the other hand, an established influencer with a decent fan base wouldn’t be foolish enough to sign for five years.
Many even signed for just one year.
That was why so many major influencers were constantly switching agencies.
However, for Second-Life Star to grow and expand, it couldn’t just sign rookies. It had to sign famous influencers like Coco whenever the opportunity arose.
Chen Jincheng walked over to the small blackboard, pulled it closer, and said to Coco, "Here are four concepts we at Second-Life Star are about to start mass-producing videos for. You can pick one to shoot. If you’re skilled enough, with your current popularity, getting three million likes shouldn’t be a problem. Your stats might even be better."
Coco had been watching Chen Jincheng the whole time.
She had, of course, looked into her new boss. She knew he was a notorious playboy, but she was also well aware that his ability to make women famous was top-tier on Tiao Yin. Not a single video made by one of the "Miss Cheng’s" had ever failed to go viral.
So, after signing with Second-Life Star, she was quite looking forward to her new boss’s dance concepts.
After all, the stats for Yinyin’s "Train Opening" video had already blown up.
She just hadn’t expected her new boss to be sitting on four more unreleased concepts. ’Do Taikong Sen and his people know about this?’
Coco walked up to the small blackboard and looked at the concepts written on it. She didn’t waste any time, pointing directly to "Subject Three." "Can I do this one?"
She chose "Subject Three" because she was currently trying to get her driver’s license and had just reached the Subject Three test.
Chen Jincheng hadn’t expected the girl to actually pick "Subject Three."
In terms of individual performance metrics, "Subject Three" didn’t have the highest number of likes or views among the four concepts; in fact, it was projected to do a bit worse than the other three.
But when it came to influence and how widely it would spread, the other three combined couldn’t hold a candle to "Subject Three."
"Subject Three" was poised to spread like a plague. The whole country would be dancing it. Construction workers could do it on-site; it was even nicknamed the "construction worker dance."
Moreover, he had chosen "Subject Three" this time because this world just so happened to have that ridiculously catchy song, "Laughing Jianghu."
Just then, Sister Hong received a message. She glanced at her phone and reported, "Boss, have you seen the latest news online? Luo Xiaozhu has entered the fray. He posted a video mobilizing his fans to support Taikong Sen. Xiaohai’s data monitoring shows that the growth rate of Taikong Sen’s video has accelerated again, and it’s now almost on par with Yinyin’s ’Train Opening’."
Hearing this, Chen Jincheng frowned slightly. He pulled out his phone to check and immediately found Luo Xiaozhu’s video.
When he saw the man claiming that dancers needed "positive energy" and "proper values," he almost couldn’t stop himself from scoffing.
’Dude, the fact that you can say dancers need ’positive energy’ and ’proper values’ without even blushing... you’ve got some serious nerve.’
’Who uses a separate phone just to flirt with other girls while he has a girlfriend?’
’Who invites different girls over whenever his girlfriend isn’t home?’
’Who hooks up with different girls every time he visits a new city?’
’Who has "special" relationships with the female artists signed to his own label?’
’Who regularly engages in "special group activities" with multiple female friends?’
...
’And now this guy has the gall to talk about ’positive energy’ and ’proper values’? He’s completely shameless.’
’The key thing was, he specifically said that dancing shouldn’t rely on being risqué. Wasn’t that a direct jab at him, Chen Jincheng?’
Sure enough, Luo Xiaozhu’s words had already rallied his fans, who were now even cursing out Chen Jincheng and Second-Life Star. After all, this was a critique from the "Asian Dance King."
After assessing the situation, Chen Jincheng immediately turned to Sister Hong and asked, "Sister Hong, is everyone here?"
Sister Hong nodded. "Just about everyone has arrived."
"Then let’s show them that a dance’s popularity has nothing to do with a ’Big Pendulum’—I just happen to like the Big Pendulum," Chen Jincheng ordered, pulling the blackboard with him as he headed for the main hall.
Before long, the main hall of Second-Life Star was bustling and crowded.
Second-Life Star originally had over 50 girls signed, and they had just recruited another batch who were skilled at dancing. Now, there were nearly a hundred girls in total.
After the end-of-month assessment, upgrading Second-Life Star to a 2-star Guild would be no problem.
The next step would be becoming a 3-star Guild. The requirements were 40 active daily streamers and a turnover of 400 million Dou Coins, which was equivalent to over 40 million in gifts.
With over 100 girls, reaching 40 active daily streamers shouldn’t be difficult.
After all, Second-Life Star had a ton of filler streamers.
The 400 million Dou Coin turnover was a bit more challenging. However, as long as they continued to recruit people and cultivate more filler streamers, a monthly turnover of 400 million Dou Coins shouldn’t be too hard to achieve.
As for becoming a 4-star Guild, Second-Life Star couldn’t even think about it for now. The requirement of 400 active daily streamers alone was something they couldn’t currently achieve.
In the main hall, the girls saw their boss walk out, pulling a small blackboard behind him.
Their eyes were immediately drawn to their handsome boss.
