Chapter 426 Let's get things back on track!
"Okay, I'll arrange for someone to place the order right away." Sister Hong nodded and took out her phone to make the arrangements.
The reason why Chen Jincheng cares so much about this hot topic is because the hot topic is "Want Want Carnival video live-streaming sales exceed 10 billion yuan".
If Sister Hong only has doubts and is not certain, then Chen Jincheng is basically certain.
Although this Wangzai is the top streamer in Douyin PK, and was previously known as Douyin No. 1, his video sales data is impossible for him to achieve on his own.
In another world, the top video e-commerce streamer, who organized a video e-commerce carnival, only generated a total sales value of 1.5 million yuan.
Although the world has seen better development and stronger momentum in video e-commerce because of him, he doesn't believe that reaching 10 billion is possible without the strong support and promotion of Douyin.
The reason is simple: Douyin is already making preparations.
As for what preparations to make, it's naturally to guard against him, or to prepare to deal with him.
Right now, they're afraid he'll switch jobs, so they won't say anything. But when Douyin beats up Kuaishou, he believes Douyin will immediately take action against him, or at least restrict his access to traffic.
A platform cannot allow one person to monopolize too much traffic, especially someone who is uncontrollable and cannot be made to obey. It will definitely promote newcomers to compete.
This shows that the fact that the top influencer on two platforms in his previous life was banned one after another is also evident.
The banning of Douyin Sanzhi Mei and Kuaishou Shizi Wang is also largely due to the platform itself.
Both parties were originally e-commerce business representatives of these two factions.
It's fair to say that if there are no replacements, eliminating these two would be a major blow to their own e-commerce businesses, and would actually benefit the other side, so they would definitely try to protect them.
The main reason why Douyin decisively banned the three sheep was because of Dong Yuhui. In addition, it also promoted some new live-streaming e-commerce hosts. There is a female host that you may not know much about, Gao Yuyu, who generated 3.5 million yuan in sales in three days. Her momentum is very strong.
After the downfall of Sanzhimei, Douyin promoted 13 streamers to be tested and verified. As for whether they can find another Sanzhimei, it is unclear.
Needless to say, The Lion King was incredibly arrogant. Chopsticks had wanted to replace him for a long time, but there was only one Lion King at the beginning, so there was no way to change it.
But things changed later. Eggplant, the Lion King's apprentice, rose to prominence. Of the 320 billion yuan in sales records of Xin Xuan, 178 billion yuan was created by Eggplant. The Lion King had a replacement. So no matter how arrogant you are, who else will be banned if not you?
Some people say this isn't funny, since they are master and apprentice.
Then it can only be said that those who find this ridiculous are the ones who truly find it ridiculous. In the face of fame, status, and interests, what do master and disciple matter?
Even the Lion King had to grit his teeth and accept it, since at least the person he took over was his own apprentice and the contract was with his own company.
Therefore, he was well aware of his current status in Douyin, which was even more of a thorn in the side than the Lion King was in Chopsticks' eyes.
But now, as he was fighting fiercely with Kuaishou, Douyin was also held back by him.
However, he had always intended to reap the benefits. When Dou Yin started to make moves, he knew what gave Dou Yin her confidence, or that she thought she could defeat Kuaishou.
Although he doesn't know what happened, it doesn't matter; he will make the trend return to the way it was in the previous life.
He didn't believe that streamers like Wangzai, who relied on slot fees for PK battles and even asked big spenders to tip for slot fees in order to win PK battles, would have any problems with the products they sold through video sales once or twice.
There are other livestreaming hosts who promote products.
Think about how serious the thunderbolt incident in your past life was.
Since Douyin has taken action, the thunder must be detonated in advance.
Seeing that Sister Hong had finished arranging and put down her phone, he instructed again: "Sister Hong, when we sell products through video, we must also sign a compensation contract with the product supplier. Quality inspection must be in place, and there absolutely cannot be any problems."
Sister Hong immediately assured: "Don't worry, boss. In order to improve our quality control, we even acquired a small e-commerce company. Now our product quality control department has more than 20 people."
"That's good." Chen Jincheng nodded.
Hongjie then reported, "Boss, you have two more appointments to attend to. One is that Liu Hui, the boss of Liushi Entertainment, is coming to visit you with the crew of 'The Thunder' to apologize for Su Haoze's matter. You agreed beforehand, and they will arrive today."
"Also, there's the 'Extreme Challenge' program. Didn't you agree to record an episode? That episode happens to be in Linhai City. Moreover, I heard that the production team specially designed a script for you, which is related to physical strength and endurance, and they even used a challenging water park."
Chen Jincheng nodded.
Now that things have been decided, they need to be dealt with.
He then instructed Sister Hong: "Sister Hong, you arrange this matter and just let me know when the time comes. Also, please inform Jiangsu TV and ask them if they are interested in 'The Thunder'."
As for Ershixingchen Film and Television, the show "All Is Well" was discontinued after its broadcast. Sun Ji negotiated several dramas and even bought two more. One of them was from his previous life, which was decent and would make some money, but not a lot. The other one was not from his previous life, and he didn't know how it would turn out.
Therefore, a hit drama is just what we need to sustain the momentum; otherwise, the daily active users boosted by "All Is Well" will soon decline.
Moreover, the collaboration between "All Is Well" and Jiangsu TV was very good before, so naturally they would give each other a heads-up this time, given their existing relationship.
Rather than selling it cheaply, it's better to do Jiangsu TV a favor.
It's worth noting that in another world, Jiangsu TV is also a major player in variety shows, with plenty of programs. If Ershi Xingchen has suitable artists who can appear on their shows, it will be easier to negotiate with them.
“Okay, boss!” Sister Hong nodded, then said, “Can Li Muchen accompany you to dinner tonight? She finished filming her role in ‘Go Go Squid!’ and her work on ‘Nothing But Thirty’ hasn’t started yet. She’s already at the company these past two days.”
"Yes!" Chen Jincheng nodded.
He knew why Sister Hong had made this arrangement; after all, it was a dinner with people from the film and television industry, so she would definitely bring along girls from the film and television department.
Now that Li Muchen has some free time, he'll naturally give her some exposure. Maybe he can even help her get a collaboration opportunity. The production team of "The Thunder" will definitely have other projects coming up.
"Sister Hong, shall we go and take a look around the company?" Chen Jincheng then invited Sister Hong as well.
“Okay, boss!” Sister Hong nodded.
The company has moved into a new building, and each department has been assigned its own floor, even the game department, which doesn't have many people.
The boss and Sister Hong inspected the company together, and the people in each department were a little nervous, afraid that they might not perform well in some way.
After inspecting each floor, Chan Kam-ching and Sister Hung finally arrived at the artists' department.
While all other departments had already finished decorating and setting up, the artist department was still working hard, as they needed to specially renovate the live streaming rooms for those streamers with fans, which was also a perk provided by the company.
When Chen Jincheng, the boss, arrived, all the artists working at the company took the initiative to come over and greet him, all wanting to show their faces in front of him.
"Boss." A sweet, somewhat childish voice rang out.
Chen Jincheng saw a very beautiful young girl come over to greet him. She looked young, but her features were very delicate, and she had a beautiful smile.
She's definitely going to be a beauty in the future. More importantly, he felt she looked familiar; she seemed like one of the top ten most popular traditional Chinese beauties from another world.
By the way, it's called "Flower is Not Flower".
Thinking it over, he greeted the girl, "Hello."
When Sister Hong saw Gao Qian approaching, she became a little anxious and quickly asked her, "Have you learned the courses I enrolled you in? You should be spending time in class now."
"Sister Hong, I came out to use the restroom." The girl explained, and then hurriedly introduced herself to Chen Jincheng: "Boss, my name is Gao Qian, my online name is Hua Fei Hua, and I am an artist who won an award and signed a contract in the Campus Goddess competition."
"Yes, you have great potential," Chen Jincheng said with a smile.
Of course! How could someone who's made it into one of the top ten beauties of traditional Chinese style not have potential?
Gao Qian was delighted to receive the praise and immediately asked, "Boss, when will you help me film a video?"
Seeing this, Sister Hong became a little anxious and urged Gao Qian again: "The boss and I have things to do. You go to class first. I will arrange the video shooting."
"Oh, okay, Sister Hong." Gao Qian could only nod, then reluctantly went inside.
Hongjie immediately looked at Chen Jincheng: "Boss, this girl is only 16 years old, don't do anything rash."
"Damn it, Sister Hong, am I that kind of person?" Chen Jincheng was speechless when he heard Sister Hong's words: "What kind of beast do you take me for? Besides, I'm a gentleman."
Seriously, even if a girl offered herself to him, he wouldn't dare.
Three years minimum.
In another world, why did that young heartthrob so readily go in and operate the sewing machine?
The evidence presented by the fan accusing the man of rape is insufficient; it consists only of some information from WeChat, lacking direct evidence. Crucially, the fan is a minor.
This is a big deal.
He wouldn't dare; he's too timid.
Faced with his sophistry, Sister Hong simply chose to remain silent.
If her boss is a gentleman, then everyone in the world is a gentleman.
However, even after telling the boss Gao Qian's age, if he still dared to act like a beast, then he really wouldn't be human. Fortunately, after sending the boss back to his office, he didn't ask about Gao Qian again, which relieved her somewhat.
After that, she took out her phone and dialed Sun Ji's number.
"Sister Hong, what are your orders?" Sun Ji's laughter rang out.
Sister Hong instructed, "Mr. Sun, there's a dinner tonight with Liushi Entertainment and the production team of 'The Thunder'. Please bring the copyright manager with you. Also, contact Jiangsu TV and ask them if they're interested in 'The Thunder'. Tell them our boss values this show highly."
"If they're interested, send someone over right now; they might even make it to dinner tonight."
“Okay, Sister Hong.” Sun Ji replied immediately, and hung up the phone with a big smile on his face.
He's been troubled by this for the past couple of days. After "All Is Well" finishes airing, there has to be a hit drama to follow, otherwise the daily active users of the video website will drop significantly.
This is also a factor that affects a company's valuation and market capitalization.
Uku's market value used to be over 10 billion US dollars, but what has it become? In just six months, because of Tencent's emergence, several of its dramas were snatched up, and now its market value is probably only 2 billion US dollars left.
Their former employer, LeEco Pictures, was also highly valued, but after the boss ran into trouble, there were no new dramas or new content for two months, and its value plummeted.
"All Is Well" brought a lot of daily activity to the film and television website, but to maintain or stabilize the value of the film and television website, at least three more hit dramas are needed to sustain it.
Only in this way can everyone truly place Ershixingchen Film and Television Network, Tencent Penguin Pictures, and iQiyi Film and Television on the same level.
If a boss likes a TV series, then that series is bound to be a hit.
After hanging up with Sister Hong, he immediately dialed the number of a director at Sujiang TV, who was in charge of acquiring film and television copyrights at Sujiang TV.
Previously, due to the drama "All Is Well", the two sides had been in frequent contact.
As soon as the call connected, laughter came from the other end: "Mr. Sun, I heard you're calling, so there must be some good news, right? Is it that the TV series your Second Star Investment is going to be released?"
Sun Ji immediately said, "Director Lin, those dramas can't be done so quickly. Our boss is currently interested in a drama, and we have a dinner meeting with the production team tonight. If you're interested, Director Lin, you can come and take a look."
"Really? Then I really need to go and take a look," Director Lin said immediately.
Chan Kam-ching's eye for film and television is now recognized in the industry. His previous judgments on "All Is Well", "Over the Sea I Come to You", and "My Biological Dad and Stepdad" are still amazing.
Therefore, until he directs a terrible show, no one will doubt his judgment.
When he last contacted Ershixingchen, he naturally asked this Mr. Sun to help him get some information.
So, after hanging up the phone, he arranged for someone to prepare the fastest flight tickets to Linhai City, and two tickets in total, because he needed to bring someone with him.
After making the arrangements, he went to a stage room at the TV station and found Lu Hao. Director Lu had a good relationship with Chen Jincheng, so bringing along one of Chen's acquaintances to the dinner party wouldn't seem awkward.
When he arrived, he saw Lu Hao talking to a female celebrity. He was a little surprised to see this female celebrity. Wasn't Wang Xinling 35 years old this year?
She really looks like a girl in her early twenties.
"Director Lin, you wanted to see me?" Lu Hao greeted him with a smile.
Director Lin smiled and said, "Come with me to Linhai City for a dinner hosted by Chen Jincheng. Aren't you quite familiar with him?"
These words drew Wang Xinling's attention, and she already knew that the show "Sisters Who Make Waves" was planned by Chen Jincheng, who had strongly recommended her.
She's now a nobody, and whether she can make a comeback depends on this show.
Upon hearing this, Lu Hao understood what Director Lin meant and said with a smile, "Director Lin, there's no problem. Don't worry, Mr. Chen is a very easy person to talk to."
“I know, but wouldn’t it be less awkward if we were with someone we know?” Director Lin said immediately.
Just then, Wang Xinling suddenly spoke up: "Director Lu, may I come over with you? I also want to thank Mr. Chen."
