Chapter 240: Chapter 172: Luo Xiaozhu: Know the Value of the Dance King? Chen Jincheng: Slap

...

The incident had roped in the major celebrity Luo Xiaozhu, and with Chen Jincheng dropping another bombshell—a few viral marketing plans—the hype had reached terrifying heights. Thus, Luo Xiaozhu’s new video garnered immense attention the moment it was released.

Moreover, his words seemed irrefutable. While the dances Chen Jincheng had planned and released were undeniably viral and fun, they truly had zero technical skill.

Take the "Subject Three," for example. Even elementary schoolers could do it.

When Taikong Sen saw that his teacher had posted the video, he naturally supported it at once. Plus, Teacher Pig’s angle was brilliant—if something has no technical skill, it has no technical skill.

Those dance-focused internet celebrities who had previously laid low began to resurface.

These people admitted they couldn’t beat Chen Jincheng when it came to producing this kind of entertaining content—the guy was a monster. But admitting he was better than them in their own area of expertise? No way. That was too humiliating.

Since they couldn’t outdo his videos, they had to support this stubborn act of calling him out for having no skill. A dancer’s dignity had to be maintained.

Besides, they had Luo Xiaozhu, the Asian Dance King, leading the charge.

Chen Jincheng, however, wasn’t paying any attention to this. He was on his phone, looking at "Subject Three" videos.

Of course, he wasn’t watching the girls from his own company, but the videos shot by amateurs from all walks of life.

"Subject Three" had already exploded, spreading like a plague just as it did in his previous life. It was now the hottest topic on the entire internet. Countless amateurs were filming and uploading "Subject Three" videos, including quite a few girls with long legs.

He wanted to see if there was any talent out there, hoping he might discover a girl with potential.

He did come across several promising girls and sent them messages asking if they were interested in becoming internet celebrities. For those who were, he forwarded their information to Sister Hong to handle the follow-up.

Suddenly, a beautiful girl dressed in a sales uniform caught his attention.

The girl’s "Subject Three" dance seemed a bit half-hearted, but she was so beautiful that the likes were ridiculously high. The video had already surpassed a million likes.

The moment Chen Jincheng saw this girl, his eyes lit up.

’Isn’t this Xiaoju? The one from my past life known as the most beautiful real estate agent, the one with the Innate Widow Sacred Body?’

He still had an unused Internet Celebrity Debut Card, and now he’d found a long-legged girl he’d followed in his past life.

The key was that in the other world, she had also gotten famous because of Subject Three, leading to the joke: "Years as a real estate agent, no one knew her name; one Subject Three dance, and the whole world knew her fame."

He hadn’t expected her to get famous from "Subject Three" in this world too. The crucial difference was that the hype was even greater this time, meaning her video’s potential was clearly higher than in his past life.

’It seems fate is at work. "Subject Three" was destined to be her big break.’

It was just that in this world, he had made "Subject Three" go viral four years early, so she was also being discovered four years ahead of schedule.

Compared to her past life, when she could only call herself "Auntie" by the time she got famous, at 25, she was truly young and beautiful.

Moreover, at this age, she truly resembled that "beauty seen once in 4,000 years" from his previous life even more.

The key was that she still had that same intense "widow" aura about her—a special kind of beauty without any makeup, a slender and delicate figure that evoked a sense of pity and protectiveness. When she wore historical clothing, her cool aloofness made audiences feel exactly what Cao Cao must have felt upon seeing the Zou Clan’s widow.

In his past life, this Xiaoju had been signed by Wuyou Media. Even though she debuted late, she had nearly 5 million fans before he transmigrated. She definitely had a lot of potential.

Since Wuyou Media hadn’t even been founded yet in this life, and he was the one who created the "Subject Three" trend, it was only natural to strike first. This girl was a prime candidate for traditional-style content.

This "traditional style" might seem like it requires no skill—just put on some Hanfu and you’re good to go. But that wasn’t the case. The most important things for this style were aura and feeling, something many female internet celebrities couldn’t imitate, no matter how hard they tried to act. Otherwise, it would be like putting on a dragon robe but not looking like a crown prince—a complete mismatch.

Moreover, traditional-style content had its own unique, hardcore fanbase with a higher-than-average loyalty.

In 2018, the traditional-style genre hadn’t been developed on Tiao Yin yet. It wouldn’t be until early 2019, when Tiao Yin responded to the government’s policy of promoting the beauty of traditional culture by launching a traditional-style challenge, that the "Tiao Yin traditional-style circle" would form.

If he had Xiaoju enter the scene from the very beginning, it wasn’t impossible for her to break ten million fans and become the number one figure in the traditional-style circle.

With that in mind, he opened Xiaoju’s Tiao Yin homepage and sent a message explaining his intentions: "Hello, I’m Chen Jincheng. I’d like to invite you to join Second-Life Star. I see great potential in you!"

...

「Meanwhile, in Gong City, at the Sunshine Real Estate sales center.」

As the sun set, a smiling Xiaoju left the sales center, clocking out with a few female colleagues.

She felt like the whole day had been surreal.

It had started with her seeing a colleague filming the "Subject Three Dance." She thought it looked fun and let her colleague drag her into filming one too.

She didn’t really know how to do the dance and had just gone through the motions half-heartedly, but she never expected the video to actually go viral. Her follower count had jumped from 2,000 to 70,000.

"Xiaoju, I’m so jealous," one colleague said, her face full of envy. "I’m the one who dragged you into filming, but you’re the one who got famous! I only got 200 likes."

"Xiaoju, you’re going to be an internet celebrity now! You should treat us to dinner tonight," another colleague said enviously.

"Xiaoju is so pretty and has such a great figure. It’s only normal that she’d get famous," another colleague added.

"No way, it’s just dumb luck," Xiaoju said, but inwardly she was bursting with joy.
