Game of Life: Signing Internet Celebrities from a Bar

Chapter 596 The Richest Man, War God Dragon King

"Is Chen Jincheng out of his mind?" a senior executive of Douyin couldn't help but say.

"Perhaps he has run out of ideas," another person said.

“Mr. Gu, if it’s just this kind of video, agree to it,” the third person said.

This was agreed upon by everyone.

If this is all there is to the short drama, then Chen Jincheng's big fuss this time might be a waste of time, or he might even suffer a major setback.

Therefore, Gu Xue did not hesitate and took the initiative to call Chen Jincheng.

As soon as the call connected, he said, "Mr. Chen, if it's just about using this short drama to attract traffic, Douyin agrees to cooperate."

Chen Jincheng was not surprised by this result, because Douyin did not realize the benefits of short dramas. In another world, it was not until 2023 that Douyin witnessed the booming market for short dramas and then created the short drama section.

It's a pity that by then, the short drama market had already been largely divided up, and Douyin could only rely on advertising platforms to earn advertising revenue from short dramas.

Naturally, they also secretly tried to seize the market with their short drama segment, but unfortunately they failed by 2025.

At this point, Douyin is somewhat like Penguin back then.

Seeing the explosive popularity of short videos, Tencent wanted to enter the market with its own short video platform, but due to various obstacles and its own reasons, it failed and remained in a state of limbo without any real chance.

Douyin is in the same boat when it comes to short dramas. Seeing the booming market for short dramas, they created a short drama module, but their situation has been similar to that of VisTV when it entered the short video market.

Just like penguins and diabolo have exhausted their luck in reaching the top of their respective fields, they lack the luck to enter new major industries.

This is a very strange phenomenon.

In this world, none of the higher-ups at Douyin knew the market potential of short dramas. In fact, after seeing the short drama Chen Jincheng released, they all unanimously predicted Chen Jincheng's downfall.

Gu Xue readily agreed to the collaboration. Since it wouldn't affect short videos, there was no reason not to earn the 20 billion.

Therefore, this world of Douyin can only serve as an advertising platform for short dramas to attract viewers.

When Chen Jincheng's plan was completed, the other party would no longer have the opportunity to participate, and this 20 billion was enough for Chen Jincheng to completely attract the potential audience of Douyin's short dramas.

As for chopsticks?

Not to mention.

In another world, when Kuaishou's market value was only 1500 billion, Douyin audiences looked down on Kuaishou, and users of websites such as Xiaohongshu, A-site, etc. also looked down on Kuaishou.

Even the most clueless viewers of short dramas dislike using chopsticks.

So what's there to say?

He couldn't be bothered to advertise on Kuaishou. Despite Kuaishou already having over 4.5 million daily active users, after its IPO, there were no upgrades or improvements to its configurations or functions. After that, most of its users became Douyin users. Then, in just six months, Douyin jumped to over 7 million users, becoming one of only two platforms, along with Tencent, to surpass 7 million users.

As for chopsticks?

The market value was 1.8 trillion, but it only dropped by 1500 billion, all thanks to Chen Yixiao.

The cooperation between the two parties naturally requires signing a contract, as well as establishing a link between the two websites. At that time, the short drama advertisements of Ershi Xingchen will appear on Douyin Video. People who come across the ad will see the content of the ad, and if they want to continue watching after watching the ad, they will be redirected to the Ershi Xingchen Film and Television website.

Neither side has ever had such a docking task before, and the technical staff from both sides need to discuss and write the integration code.

This time, Gu Xue led the team directly to the Second Star Building. Although regulations stipulate that business operations must be suspended, employees cannot leave their homes, and even flights are restricted, this depends on the situation. Top companies have been working all the time and have some privileges.

This is the case in another world. Therefore, the second-generation stars in this world naturally receive the same treatment.

Moreover, this involves a 20 billion yuan contract, and the higher-ups also want to earn tax revenue.

When Gu Xue led her team to the Second Star, the technical personnel from both sides had already begun to connect and develop their plans.

Gu Xue and her legal team spent three days negotiating the contract with Hong Jie's legal team and finalized the agreement.

Gu Xue and the executives of Douyin were very happy about the contract. With this 20 billion yuan, their plans could be accelerated. They no longer needed to be so cowardly and timid, worrying that Kuaishou would turn around and bite them.

What they didn't know was that Chen Jincheng knew all their plans, and that Ershi Xingchen even had a technical department doing the same thing. As long as they took off the chopsticks, these things could be instantly integrated into the chopsticks.

Moreover, Gu Xue will soon realize the terrifying potential of the short drama and regret signing the contract so easily.

"Mr. Gu, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." After signing the contract, Sister Hong smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"It's been a pleasure working together," Gu Xue said with a smile. As heads of their respective companies, they had a mutual respect for each other. They had also exchanged WeChat contacts during the three days of discussions, and the conversations had gone quite well.

After all, there are practically only two women in the short video industry who have reached their level of success. This naturally gives them an urge to admire each other, as well as a competitive urge to compare themselves and prove that they are better than each other.

In this respect, Sister Hong felt that she was in an absolute advantage.

Three days have passed, and the online attention to the short drama "Second Life of Stars" has reached its peak.

Especially Chen Jincheng's fans.

Finally, when a batch of short dramas were released on the Second Star Film and Television short drama section, Chen Jincheng's fans clicked in to check them out immediately.

Guo Feng was just like that; he was dumbfounded when he clicked into the short drama.

"After Giving Birth and Getting Divorced, I'm Being Pursued by a Billionaire CEO—I Don't Want Them Anymore!"

My husband was still hung up on his first love, so I divorced him and ran off with the richest man.

My wife dislikes me for being poor, but little does she know I'm secretly a dragon king.

After three years of forbearance, I regained my identity as the God of War.

"..."

"What...what the hell is this?" Guo Feng felt his head buzzing.

Who could have done this?

The name itself is embarrassing, and it carries a strong sense of shame.

As a loyal fan of Cheng, he still clicked to watch one of the videos and found that each episode was only 3 or 4 minutes long, which was really short.

After watching just the first episode, he felt that the plot was a bit too illogical. The second and third episodes... why was he actually getting into watching such a illogical plot?

Not long after, he looked at the fact that he had paid 9.9 yuan to watch the whole series and felt like he had gone crazy. How could he, a rich second-generation, like to watch this kind of thing?

After finishing one season, he impulsively clicked on the second season, and then he really felt guilty for his impulsiveness. He was so angry at the first episode that he felt like he was going to vomit blood.

What kind of fucking plot did Cheng come up with?

But why did he pay 9.9 yuan to watch the whole series?

Good heavens, has Cheng cast a curse on her? (End of Chapter)
