Chapter 443 The Second Generation Star in Douyin Autonomous Region?

Linhai City.

In a hotel, Han Shangyou got up early in the morning and went to have breakfast with his assistant.

You could tell he looked very serious, because the online discussion about Douyin had become much more intense.

In the past two days, the number of viewers watching live streams by top-tier internet celebrities has decreased significantly compared to before, with many experiencing a sharp drop.

It's obvious that they've all been fitted with metal.

This situation was also exposed online, causing even greater negative publicity.

The key is that despite their efforts in public relations, the online buzz is only getting bigger and bigger. It's obvious that Kuaishou and Weishi have stepped in to make their move.

The news that Chen Jincheng, the top male singer of Douyin, is going to join Vivi has also been confirmed.

It must be admitted that, after all these events, Chen Jincheng is definitely the most commercially valuable internet celebrity. In addition, his business acumen is recognized as he is a partner of Mr. Lei.

Although the TV series on the film and television website didn't perform well this time, it hasn't had a fatal impact on his judgment.

Now everyone believes that his move to Vision shows a lack of confidence in Douyin, and this negative sentiment has made the situation even worse.

Yesterday, when he arrived in Linhai City to visit Ershi Xingchen, he was told that Chen Jincheng was still in Shenzhen and had not returned.

He could only stay in Linhai City for a day and continue waiting.

After taking a couple of sips of porridge, he instructed his assistant, "Continue to contact Second Star Star later and ask if Chen Jincheng has returned from Shenzhen."

"Yes!" the assistant nodded.

Meanwhile, Chen Jincheng, whom they thought was in Shenzhen, had actually been working out all night with intense self-discipline.

[Congratulations! You have consumed 1 Constitution point. Your Constitution has increased!]

While everyone else was waking up, he received a notification from the game system.

Feeling the warm current flowing through his body and that invigorating feeling, he smiled.

After using a fabricated video to make Douyin anxious, he also got carried away and had Ximeng invite Cenzhu and Xiao Sufei to the villa.

The reason we didn't go to the company office's private room was because there were too many people, making the space too small and preventing us from having enough fun.

In this villa, you can play anywhere, and have endless fun.

"So this is where the boss lives." Xi Meng said sweetly, hugging his leg. "Boss, I want to move here. Can we all move here? It'll be so convenient for you every day."

These words made even the slackers like Cen Nu look at him with expectant eyes. Doesn't this mean he's living with the boss?

“If you want to move in, then move in. It’s definitely more convenient for you to live together. Now get some rest.” Chen Jincheng said as he went to wash up. When he came downstairs, he took out his phone and dialed Sister Hong’s number: “Sister Hong, can you help me look at a villa? It doesn’t need to be too big for now. I’ll live alone. I’ll go take a look and then decide whether to buy it or not.”

Once people achieve something, most of the time they do is buy a car, a house, and get married.

Marriage is not meant to be for him. He already has two cars, which is not bad. He can buy another one if he likes it in the future.

Since I don't own any property, I might as well buy a villa.

Anyway, the villa here has already agreed to let Ximeng and the others move in first, so he can't really live with them; it would be too easy for that to backfire.

Seriously, they all own houses, yet they insist on vying for his villa. But it's fine, having them all live together will make it easier for them to expend their self-discipline points in the future.

Inside the villa, Ximeng and the other girls were already very happy:

"Knowing where the boss lives is a big step forward."

"The fact that they're moving in is an even bigger step forward!"

"..."

They were clearly unaware that the boss was moving out; in fact, their gathering made things more convenient for him.

When Chen Jincheng arrived at the Second Star Building, the security guard at the entrance immediately saluted him. Judging from his upright posture, it must have been a retired soldier recruited by Sister Hong. After all, the appearance of the gate guards should always be more dignified.

When he got to his office, he also checked today's news.

The hottest topic is still Douyin (TikTok), which is dominating the charts on various platforms. Kuaishou and Weishi have both joined forces to ensure it gets all the attention it deserves.

In addition, he also occupied two hot topics on Xingchen Film and Television Network.

With "Return the World to You," "The Wrath of Xiangxi," and "The Legend of Haolan" airing consecutively, their popularity has basically stabilized. "The Wrath of Xiangxi" became a hit, while "Return the World to You" remained relatively unpopular.

"It's been airing for several days now, and there's basically no chance for Chen Jincheng's new drama to turn things around."

It seems that Chan Kam-ching's legend has truly come to an end with this drama.

Tencent Video really bought a lot of publicity for him. Otherwise, after so many days, with everyone focused on the Douyin incident, how could anyone still pay attention to this drama and even create two trending topics?

Let the bullets fly for a while!

If Tencent Video is so wasteful of money, let them waste even more. When "The Thunder" is released, they'll be dumbfounded.

"The Thunder" has 159 billion views, while "The Wrath of Xiangxi" has 45 billion views, a complete crushing defeat.

While I was watching the news, Sister Hong and Sun Ji arrived together.

"Boss, this is the release document for 'The Thunder'." Sun Ji handed a document to Chen Jincheng, and after he signed it, he said, "Also, regarding the publicity, Sister Hong said you've prepared a publicity plan!"

"Yes, I'll handle the publicity." Chen Jincheng nodded with a smile.

Hongjie then reported, "Boss, Mr. Han from Douyin has been here for a day now, and he asked again today. It seems he doesn't plan to go back until he sees you."

Sun Ji smiled when he heard this. Everyone knew about the trouble Dou Yin had caused these past few days.

Seriously, it's the first time I've ever seen a platform manager humbly request to meet one of their platform's internet celebrities, only to be kept in limbo for a whole day.

He naturally understood that the other party had only themselves to blame. They treated his boss like an internet celebrity, thinking that their tricks wouldn't provoke a fight back—they were sorely mistaken.

His boss has a keen eye for investment; all his investments have been successful, and he's even been highly regarded by Lei Jun.

In terms of business acumen, vision, and achievements, frankly, Han Shangyou is simply no match for him.

Simply put, if you replace Douyin with a General Manager Han, there might be a General Manager Chu, a General Manager Lin, a General Manager Zhao... even if you send your own boss, he would probably do a better job than General Manager Han.

Conversely, if the other party's CEO, Mr. Han, were to be in charge of the things his boss did, he probably wouldn't be able to accomplish anything.

Only those who have actually worked under a boss can know how capable the boss is. He used to consider himself a promising young talent in LeTV's film and television division, thinking he was very capable. Now he feels that he is only qualified to run errands for the boss.

Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "Just tell them I'm back. The online buzz is at its peak right now, so it's the perfect time to make the most of it."

However, he added, "Talking to him about the afternoon won't seem so deliberate."

"Okay, boss." Sister Hong nodded and, after leaving Chen Jincheng's office, dialed Han Shangyou's number.

hotel.

After finishing breakfast, Han Shangyou stayed in his room staring at his computer, dealing with company matters. He was truly overwhelmed.

He hadn't expected there to be so many internet celebrities hanging on the iron, and almost all of them were going to be wiped out.

Only a few celebrities, Chen Jincheng, and a small number of internet celebrities did not use fake accounts or buy followers.

The assistant rushed in: "Boss, Sister Hong from Second Starry Sky called and said that Chen Jincheng will return to Linhai City this afternoon and will arrange for us to meet then."

"That's great." Han Shangyou couldn't help but show his joy.

This is good news after all; now it's just a matter of how to negotiate with Chen Jincheng.

As soon as the afternoon arrived, Han Shangyou received a call and immediately went to the Second Star Building.

Chen Jincheng was already waiting in the reception room. When he saw Han Shangyou arrive, he greeted him with a big smile: "President Han, welcome, welcome. I didn't expect to see you again so soon."

Han Shangyou was somewhat embarrassed, after all, he was in a very awkward situation when they met again, with the president of a platform personally coming to see a social media influencer from the same platform.

However, he still maintained a smile and said, "Mr. Chen, we have always had a very pleasant working relationship, so we hope to continue to cooperate happily. After all, old partners always have a better foundation for cooperation than new partners. Moreover, some companies are used to being the boss, but once they have made a promise and achieved their goal, they have a history of turning their backs on their promises."

“This song…” Chen Jincheng immediately pretended to be troubled.

He naturally knew that Han Shangyou was alluding to Weishi, and that Tencent did indeed have a precedent of making promises and then turning its back on people when it felt they were no longer of any use.

Or rather, it's not just Tencent, all companies are the same, even Douyin.

Previously, seeing his popularity and high profile, they kept promoting him to increase his influence. Later, the other side thought they could beat Kuaishou, but before they even won, they started promoting Want Want to compete with him.

The other party is now being dragged along and coming to talk to him in such a frustrating way, simply because the incident of buying fans and hanging irons has caused too much of a stir and has had a huge impact on Douyin.

The saying "all crows are black" illustrates this point.

Ultimately, it comes down to self-interest.

He deliberately pretended to be in a difficult position, just to make the other party misunderstand that he had really talked to Wei Shi. If that's what the other party thought, he would just go with the flow.

Seeing his expression, Han Shangyou knew that the other party must have already negotiated some terms with Weishi. He went straight to the point and said, "Mr. Chen, I know that Weishi must have promised you very high terms, but after all, we have been cooperating for so long. We still hope that you can stay with Douyin. So, if they have conditions, we can agree to them, or even offer higher conditions. So, Mr. Chen, can you tell us your conditions?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng deliberately feigned difficulty, saying, "President Han, Weishi has agreed to allow our Second Star to exercise fixed resource autonomy. Within five years, regardless of their traffic volume, they will allocate 10% of their resources to Second Star as a cooperation agreement. This includes varying amounts of SS-level and SSS-level resources... and..."

Han Shangyou's eyes widened upon hearing this.

Vision doesn't just want Chen Jincheng, it actually wants the entire Second Generation Starry Sky. What a huge appetite!

The key question is, why would VisVision offer such conditions? Are they crazy?

Considering Tencent's covetousness towards the short video industry and the potential that short videos are currently showing, the momentum would be absolutely tremendous if they could wipe out Douyin and uproot companies like Chen Jincheng with huge potential and commercial value.

However, this condition does not mean that 10% of the company's assets will be handed over to Ershixingchen over a period of 5 years.

Take Douyin for example. It now has 3500 million daily active users. With 10% of the resources, that's 3.5 million daily active users. At least 500 million people would be watching the live stream, right?

At that time, all that traffic will be used to promote Ershixingchen, whether it's through videos or live streams.

The key point is that these are still the responsibility of Er Shi Xing Chen himself, which means that Er Shi Xing Chen can completely and autonomously make money using their Douyin traffic. The key point is that the other party is autonomous and is not subject to Douyin's control.

Although Douyin can use this traffic to promote to other users, it's just so frustrating. It's like, over the past 5 years, Ershi Xingchen has become a country within a country for Douyin.

Now everyone's trying to promote someone else to replace him because Chen Jincheng is disobedient. You can imagine how painful it will be for him. They just can't stand him, but there's nothing they can do about it.

Vision is truly shameless; they offered such conditions to poach Chen Jincheng, which only made him feel an even greater crisis.

If the other party is willing to offer such terms, it means they are coming with great force and must have made thorough preparations.

Just then, his assistant suddenly received a phone call. After going out to answer it for a while, she rushed back in and reported to Han Shangyou with a grim expression: "Mr. Han, the big boss sent people to investigate. Tencent is indeed making big moves. All of Tencent's subsidiaries and partner companies have set up short video departments, created dedicated apps, and signed some kind of agreement with Vivi."

"What?" Han Shangyou stood up in shock upon hearing the news.

 My new book is titled "I'm a Popular Online Photographer, My Name is Teacher Chen".
