In the bar's office.
Chen Jincheng tapped away at his computer, working on a plan for mass-producing videos, intending to create some filler streamers!
So-called "filler streamers" were just to make up the numbers.
A regular Tiao Yin guild required 5 daily active streamers. A One-star Guild required at least 10 daily effective streamers, a Two-star Guild at least 15, a three-star guild at least 40, a four-star guild at least 200, and a Five-star Guild at least 700.
An "effective livestream" was one that reached a certain number of concurrent viewers or received a certain amount of gifts; only then would it count.
A guild would only have a small group of truly major internet celebrities. To meet the quota for daily effective streamers, they still had to sign a lot of filler streamers.
These types of streamers weren't expected to earn much money. As long as they met the standard requirements to pad the numbers for the guild's evaluation, it was enough.
Just as Sister Hong had said, they absolutely had to get the Touyin Guild application approved.
After all, the guild got a fixed 5% cut from the platform, plus corresponding task rewards for each guild level and a monthly allotment of traffic resources based on their tier. These were all things they had to get their hands on.
For 'Second-Life Star' Media to apply for a regular guild, he was currently the only daily active streamer. So, the plan was to mass-produce videos to create some filler streamers.
In his previous life, there were plenty of viral ideas that could be used for mass-producing videos.
He quickly outlined a simple idea that could easily attract traffic:
The Glass-Wiping Dance (Requirements: Good looks, tall figure!)
The Glass-Wiping Dance wasn't as popular as the Shaking Bear Dance, but it had also produced many videos with millions of likes. Both men and women could do it, and girls from the nightclub scene could basically master it with ease. That was because in his past life, the Glass-Wiping Dance had become one of the hottest clubbing dances!
In his past life, this type of "traffic code" was already overused, and the traffic it generated was heavily diluted. But you had to admit, it was incredibly popular at first.
At this stage of Tiao Yin's development in this world, this kind of "traffic code" hadn't been developed yet, or perhaps the MCNs and internet celebrities hadn't become so unscrupulous yet!
In that case, he might as well be the one to completely unlock this traffic code.
These two plans were perfect for cultivating a few filler streamers.
But since this was mass production, the prerequisite was having enough girls.
He was just about to call Wang Yuan and ask how the recruitment was going when the man himself walked into the office, his face beaming. "Boss, we've had a huge breakthrough in tonight's attendance! We're already at 35 tables, and 8 of the private rooms are taken."
He was visibly excited as he spoke. He felt that at this rate, the bar would probably be completely full in just a few days.
He knew the two videos the boss had filmed had completely blown up; it was no surprise that customers were showing up after seeing them.
You could tell just by looking at how many people were filming Xiaobai today.
Chen Jincheng nodded and took the opportunity to ask, "By the way, how's it going with the girls I asked you to recruit?"
Wang Yuan immediately went to the computer and pulled up a document. "Boss, right after you told me yesterday, I posted on my Moments and in all sorts of Coastal City nightclub exchange groups. I also asked some middlemen for referrals. A lot of people sent in resumes. This is all the info they sent!"
Chen Jincheng looked at the computer, which contained the profiles of no less than 30 girls. "Not bad. So many girls applied in one day."
"I was just borrowing your name, Boss!" Wang Yuan said, not daring to take the credit. "When I just said Extreme Bar, not many girls were willing to come. But as soon as I said the internet celebrity Chen Jincheng had taken over the bar, a dozen or so applied right away. After you posted those two videos, another dozen or so sent their info over just this evening."
"Regardless, you did a good job," Chen Jincheng affirmed, adding, "But we need to keep recruiting more girls."
"Okay, Boss!" Wang Yuan nodded. After giving another report on the bar's situation, he returned to the main hall.
Chen Jincheng then started looking through the girls' profiles on the computer.
Although it was a mass-production plan, he still had standards for the quality of the girls. There was no way he'd take all 30-odd of them; he had to pick the high-quality ones.
If you wanted to make it in the influencer world, unless you had a special talent, looks were everything. It didn't matter how big your boobs were or how long your legs were; it was all useless without a pretty face.
He first gave the profiles a quick scan. Almost all of them were gogo dancers. There were 2 DJs and 1 resident singer. He didn't spot any internet celebrities who had been famous in his past life. It seemed bumping into someone like Jiang Xiaobai was just a stroke of good luck.
So, he began to carefully examine the profiles one by one.
The first one. Features were obviously surgically enhanced. Pretty, but clearly unnatural. Pass.
The second one. Short legs. Pass.
…
This one's okay. Her looks are a little lacking, but her boobs are big enough. The key is that their shape is nice. She could do the Shaking Bear Dance.
This one's no good. Her looks are passable and she's tall, but she's got a pair of eggs. A runway on a girl that tall. Still a pass.
This one could work. That ass, that S-curve… fucking her from behind would definitely be exciting. She could do the Booty Dance.
…
This one's eyes are too far apart, and they're lifeless. Pass.
This one's a D-cup. 168cm height is good, and her hip measurement is 90 too. This video she sent is provocative enough. Not bad, not bad!
He finally found one named Lin Qing who was pretty nice!
…
Chen Jincheng went through the profiles one by one as if he were judging a beauty pageant. The nightclub scene hadn't yet experienced the shockwave of everyone flocking to the livestreaming industry, so there were indeed quite a few high-quality girls to be found there.
Out of the 30-plus girls, he selected 11, all of them gogo dancers. The two DJs and the resident singer were all passed over.
Of these 11 girls, 3 were suitable for filming the Shaking Bear Dance. He just didn't know if they were real or fake. Fakes couldn't shake out the essence of the dance.
Of course, it wasn't that they could only film this one type. They could totally try filming both. It was the same old principle: take a shot at everything.
One of them was truly excellent—the one named Lin Qing. Her boobs, height, and hip measurements were all fantastic, and her looks had a hint of flirtatiousness. The dance video she'd included in her profile was also quite provocative.
This reminded him of a type of female internet celebrity from his past life who followed the 'flirtatious teasing' route.
This type of influencer had no other special characteristics. They just blatantly showed off their bodies. Their videos basically consisted of them wearing all sorts of sexy clothes to display their thighs and boobs, paired with provocative moves, all to attract old perverts with their flirty vibe.
In his past life, there were many influencers of this type. As long as you gave them enough initial traffic, they'd get popular fast. But by the same token, their ceiling was low, and they were easily replaced. Still, no matter what, as long as they'd had their moment of fame, they were better off than most people even after they cooled down. Their livestreams would always have at least a few dozen to a hundred viewers!
Most importantly, this type of influencer was also the best kind of filler streamer for a star-rated guild!
So, he should pay a little extra attention to this Lin Qing when the time came.
After making his selections, he sent the profiles to Wang Yuan and told him to notify these girls to come to the bar tomorrow.
Afterward, he continued to flesh out his filming plan.
「Time passed.」
The bar was quite lively today. Even at 2 a.m., there were still quite a few customers partying.
After finishing his detailed plan, Chen Jincheng took out his phone to check the stats on his and Jiang Xiaobai's two videos.
His video of him singing "Trajectory," after fermenting overnight, had already surpassed 700,000 likes, and his follower count had risen to 1.83 million. Before the video's traffic ran out, breaking a million likes should be easy, and his follower count could still grow.
The classic song from the musical superstar of his past life was incredibly effective.
Then he looked at Jiang Xiaobai's video. With the effect of the Internet Celebrity Debut Card, it was just ridiculously overpowered. The likes had already surpassed his own, reaching 850,000, and her followers were at 300,000. It would have no problem eventually reaching the 1.5 million likes it got in his past life.
But watching her video, he still felt something was missing: that ecstatic expression. If it weren't for the boost from the Internet Celebrity Debut Card, this video definitely wouldn't have gotten so many likes.
So, he had to get the girl to master this killer move. With a skill like that, even after the effects of the Internet Celebrity Debut Card were gone, maintaining her future popularity and slowly gaining followers wouldn't be a problem.
Just as he was thinking about this, he saw Jiang Xiaobai walk in from outside. "Scum... Boss, are you busy?"
As she spoke, she walked in gracefully. She was naturally here to thank Scumbag Cheng. After all, a single video had gotten her more likes than she could count and 300,000 followers.
Being swarmed for pictures today proved she was famous, and she knew who had given her this opportunity.
"Xiaobai, you're just in time. There's something I need to talk to you about!" Seeing Jiang Xiaobai, Chen Jincheng quickly waved her over. "There's still room for improvement in your videos. We can make their effect even better."
Jiang Xiaobai hurried forward and said sweetly, "Boss, just tell me. I'll definitely improve!"
Chen Jincheng nodded. "Xiaobai, you're not showing the full charm of your facial expressions in your videos. You need to make your expression look more captivating. For example, a bit more ecstatic."
Jiang Xiaobai was a bit confused. "What's an ecstatic expression?"
Seeing that the girl didn't understand, Chen Jincheng prompted her, "Just think about how you feel when you're being fucked. The expression you make then is very ecstatic. Just copy that."
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaobai froze, then asked subconsciously, "How am I supposed to copy it? I can't see my own face!"
"That's true!" Chen Jincheng was dumbfounded.
"How about... you help me record it?" Jiang Xiaobai suddenly said in a coquettish voice.
"???" 'Something isn't quite right with her words,' Chen Jincheng thought.
'What does she mean?'
"Let's go, let's get a room!" Jiang Xiaobai suddenly looked at him with a smile that seemed to see right through him and started pulling him out of the office.
'Scumbag Cheng went to all that trouble. He must have been hinting at me just now.'
'A classic casting couch trick, right?'
By the time he was dragged to the same hotel as before, Chen Jincheng finally realized what Jiang Xiaobai meant.
'Holy shit, don't tell me this girl thinks I was hinting at the casting couch?'
'I've been fucking framed.'
'What kind of comprehension skills does Jiang Xiaobai have?'
'But, seeing as the girl already has her ID card out, I don't exactly have a reason to refuse, do I?'
'Even if I have no desire to possess her, that doesn't stop me from enjoying my 'user rights', does it?'
They registered with their IDs, and the two went upstairs to a room. Before long, frantic sounds could be heard.
Suddenly, the girl's confused voice rang out in the room: "What are you doing with your phone?"
"Helping you record your expression!"
"Huh???"
