Chapter 437 Everything is ready! Only the final push is needed!
Overnight, the viewership data for the new drama on the three platforms, Er Shi Xing Chen Film & Television, Tencent Penguin Pictures, and iQiyi Film & Television, was released.
Huang Zhen arrived at Tencent Video early in the morning. As soon as he sat down in his office, he called his assistant over and asked, "Are today's data out?"
The assistant immediately reported: "President Huang, great news, fantastic news! Yesterday, three dramas were released. Aiqiyi's 'The Legend of Haolan' had a popularity score of 16000 and an average of 5500 million views per episode. Our 'The Wrath of Xiangxi' has a popularity score of over 2 and an average of 8500 million views per episode."
Huang Zhen asked, "What about Er Shi Xing Chen Film & Television?"
The assistant said with a big smile, "The number of views is less than 3000 million. This time the other party has failed. Now everyone on the internet is saying that the Chen Jincheng myth has come to an end."
"Good, very good." Huang Zhen laughed and slapped the table.
I finally got my revenge.
He and Tencent Penguin Pictures lost a lot of face because of "All Is Well".
Now his face has finally been restored.
With a broad smile, he took out his phone and went online to check related information. When he saw that the topics were all about Chen Jincheng's meteoric fall and the end of his myth, he happily instructed his secretary: "Find online trolls and make this a hot topic, so that everyone knows about it."
“Yes, Mr. Huang.” The secretary nodded immediately.
On the other hand, Liu Dong of Aiqiyi felt the same way after learning the result. Although their "Haolan Legend" still didn't perform as well as "The Wrath of Xiangxi" in terms of viewership, they had still managed to crush Ershixingchen Film and Television, which made him happy.
Previously, Chen Jincheng had only managed to beat them with "All Is Well" by sheer luck, but he went on to pat himself on the back, claiming that he had schemed against Aiqiyi and gotten them to buy "My Biological Father and Stepfather".
This kind of pushing your luck is unforgivable.
Now that he's stumbled, the more he jumped around before, the more miserable he'll be now.
...
Linhai City.
Chen Jincheng, however, took the members of the Second Generation Stars who were attending the Douyin Live Streaming Festival to the airport.
This time, Sister Hong chartered a small flight.
This can reduce some of the troubles during the journey.
As soon as they boarded the plane, Sister Hong handed Chen Jincheng her phone: "Boss, the news of your new drama's release last night has already made it onto the trending topics list, and the trending topics that are pessimistic about you have already reached the top three. It must be iQiyi and Tencent Video that have put in the effort."
“Hmm.” Chen Jincheng nodded with a smile: “There’s no need to guess, but let’s not worry about that for now. We’ll talk about it after ‘The Thunder’ is released. Our primary goal right now is to deal with Dou Yin.”
Sister Hong nodded and said, "The inspection data of those orders and the data of Douyin Network that Xiao Hai investigated have all been sent to Beijing for anonymous reporting."
"The issue with the goods may require verification in Beijing, which will take some time. However, given the gray market for information online, I believe the relevant authorities will handle it immediately."
"Moreover, they process it through the network, which is extremely fast. Most importantly, this is a huge achievement for them, and they will be even more eager for this than we are."
Chen Jincheng naturally understood this better than Sister Hong.
So, everything is ready, we're just waiting for the right opportunity.
The plane took off, heading to Shanya.
Upon arriving in Shanya, Sister Hong opened a document on her phone: "Boss, Douyin has sent over the arrangements for our Second Starry Sky. You will receive the Most Valuable Talent Award. In addition to you, our Second Starry Sky's Little Sophie will also become one of the Starlight Charm Talents."
"As for the other Cheng girls, they will also be given some trophies such as Progress Star, Charm Star, and Category Expert."
Chen Jincheng was not interested in these trophies.
He came here just to watch the show.
For this live-streaming event, Douyin not only reimbursed the airfare, arranged accommodation and meals, but also provided transportation.
However, the Second Star team will also be parting ways here.
Chen Jincheng and Hong Jie led the artists to the Fiatu Hotel, which was arranged by Douyin, while Lao Chen led the other makeup artists, assistants, and photographers to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
After finding the location arranged by Douyin, Chen Jincheng and his group boarded the bus prepared by Douyin and headed straight for the Fiatu Hotel.
The Fiatu Hotel is a high-end hotel in Sanya, and you can feel the luxurious decor as soon as you enter the lobby.
Chen Jincheng led his group to the check-in signing area. After they signed, the person in charge introduced them, saying, "Mr. Chen, everyone, our live broadcast gala will be tomorrow night. There will be a red carpet event and a signature wall..."
Clearly, Douyin's live-streamed gala is imitating some entertainment industry galas.
If you include the fact that Douyin also invited quite a few celebrities, it seems that its level is no lower than some of the grand events in the entertainment industry.
In another world, when Douyin became a short video giant, many celebrities wanted to attend their awards ceremonies, but they had to see if Douyin would invite them.
Chen Jincheng didn't think much about it. After getting the room key from the person in charge, he led Sister Hong and the Cheng girls to their rooms to check in.
In addition to inviting artists, Douyin provides each MCN with an MCN accompaniment slot, depending on the size of the MCN's media presence. Hongjie used this slot, and Douyin reimbursed her for expenses and arranged her accommodation.
Just as Chen Jincheng put down his suitcase and washed up to relieve the fatigue of the journey, he received a phone call.
It was Lin Hao who called.
The call came through, and Lin Hao's voice said, "Old Cheng, have you arrived at the Fiat Hotel? Come down and have a seat!"
"Understood," Chen Jincheng replied, and then went out.
Although Ahao Media is not as big as Ershixingchen Media, it is still more powerful than the average MCN media, and it has secured several spots at this live streaming event.
Lin Hao is alone, along with Teacher San Shang, Qian Qian on the giant swing ride, that blue-clad war god, and two other female internet celebrities.
When they found Lin Hao, he was with one arm around Ms. Mikami and flirting with several other girls.
Chen Jincheng knew that these girls were very likely to have special relationships with Lin Hao, but his girlfriend in public was Ms. Mikami, so in this situation he could only put his arm around Ms. Mikami.
Only five girls, which shows that Lin Hao is truly powerless to continue. Even if he recovers, his health may not be as good as before. Otherwise, given his personality, he would definitely have had more than just these few girls.
The girls she usually plays with will also spend money to get a chance to appear on this live streaming event.
The current situation shows that he can only handle these few girls; any more and he'll be out of options.
"Old Cheng, it's been a while." Chen Hao immediately greeted Chen Jincheng.
"It has been a while since we last met." Chen Jincheng sat down with a smile, and then they started chatting.
As time went on, the hotel lobby gradually became lively, with the livestreamers who had arrived coming downstairs one after another.
Such events are naturally a good opportunity to expand one's network and make connections. If all else fails, you can just join in the fun. There are quite a few internet celebrities who didn't get invited but still paid their own way to come and join in the fun.
The entire hotel lobby was filled with people taking photos with their phones, and even the hotel staff were taking photos of the internet celebrities around them.
Naturally, Chan Kam-ching, the top male singer of Douyin, is the focus of everyone's attention, and almost everyone will point their video at him.
Whenever he appears in a video, it gets more attention.
"Mr. Chen, may I add you on WeChat?" A pretty young woman hesitated for a moment before running up to Chen Jincheng and asking.
The other party was clearly a female streamer, and Chen Jincheng still remembered her; he must have seen her on social media before.
"Okay." He didn't refuse in this situation, and took out his phone to add the other party's contact information via WeChat.
"Thank you."
The pretty girl thanked him and happily ran to the side.
With her success, a group of beautiful female anchors immediately surrounded Chen Jincheng:
"Mr. Chen, let's add each other on WeChat."
"Brother Jincheng, can we add each other on WeChat?"
"Brother Cheng, let's add each other on WeChat."
Seriously, these female anchors used all sorts of affectionate nicknames for each other. In a short period of time, Chen Jincheng's phone had more than 30 female internet celebrities on WeChat.
Lin Hao was dumbfounded.
This is the scene he longed for.
Even Ms. Mikami asked, "Dad, Mr. Chen is so popular."
“He’s a beast,” Lin Hao immediately said. “Unlike your father, I never philander.”
Qian Qian and the Blue-Clad War God and the other girls simply couldn't bear to listen to what he was saying.
And then there's the word "dad"—surprisingly, in public, one person can say it fluently, and the other can respond politely.
What a scoundrel!
The key point is that sometimes the boss even makes them all call him that.
How shameless.
Lin Hao was alright, after all, he was already struggling to manage his five girls, so he didn't envy his brothers.
But the male livestreamers around them weren't having a good time either.
Especially when someone tried to chat up a female streamer, but she ignored him and instead took the initiative to add Chen Jincheng on WeChat, he couldn't help but say with a sour look, "Are these women out of their minds? Chen Jincheng has such a terrible reputation, the number one scumbag on the internet, and they still fawn over him."
A person next to him laughed and said, "Who can blame him? He's the top male singer in Douyin. He's generous to Cheng Girls. Not only can you make money, but you also get popularity. Everyone wants to be a Cheng Girl."
These words made the sour male internet celebrity even more unhappy, and he mocked, "Who knows if he will still be the number one male internet celebrity in the future? Maybe this position will be changed soon."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a commotion erupted at the hotel entrance, and a group of people entered with great fanfare, led by a somewhat roguish young man with a buzz cut.
His appearance caused a stir among the surroundings.
Because the other party is Want Want.
Everyone knows that the other party's live stream has surpassed 300 million viewers.
I heard that they had over 500 million online viewers at the live streaming event.
Many people even think that Wangzai is going to replace Chen Jincheng as the new number one singer.
The male internet celebrity, his face full of sourness, deliberately shouted, "Wangzai, the number one internet celebrity, is here."
This remark caused quite a stir among the crowd:
"The number one male singer is here."
"The newly crowned number one male singer of Douyin."
"..."
Clearly, they were all eager to see a fight break out between Wangzai and Chen Jincheng.
Wangzai heard the shouts as soon as he came in, and a smile spread across his face. He didn't know what these people were thinking, but he enjoyed the cheers.
Moreover, after this live broadcast event surpassed 500 million viewers, he can now publicly declare himself the number one male singer.
"Don't shout like that, everyone. I'm still far from being as good as Chen Jincheng." Wangzai waved to the crowd with a big smile.
He spoke modestly, but deliberately mentioned Chen Jincheng's name, actually trying to guide everyone to continue the discussion.
After all, whenever he mentions Chen Jincheng, it becomes a topic of conversation among these people.
Just then, he saw Chen Jincheng and immediately walked over to him with a big smile: "Mr. Chen, it's a pleasure to meet you for the first time. They're just talking nonsense, don't take it to heart."
Chen Jincheng didn't expect that Wangzai would come to him. The key was that the other party's words had a strong male green tea vibe.
However, in this situation, with so many video cameras, he could only smile and say, "What did they say?"
Just pretend you didn't hear it. There's no need for him to pay attention to a bunch of nagging.
Upon hearing this, Wangzai continued with a beaming smile, "Mr. Chen, let's not talk about that. I have something I'd like to ask you. I'm also planning to acquire a video website called Baofeng Player, but I'm not good at running one. You already have a video website, Mr. Chen. I wonder if you could offer some guidance?"
Asking for advice or guidance is a pretense.
His aim was to announce to the world that he, like Chen Jincheng, had also acquired a film and television website, thereby elevating his own status.
Sure enough, everyone around was surprised to hear this.
"Want Want has also acquired a film and television website. Is this something that everyone has to do to become the top male singer?"
"It's Baofeng Player. This website doesn't seem to have much traffic. But thinking about it, when Chen Jincheng acquired LeTV, the traffic was even lower."
"It seems that Want Want is getting closer and closer to Chan Kam-ching, and is about to become the second Chan Kam-ching."
Wangzai heard this, but he did not agree.
Because he doesn't want to become the second Chen Jincheng, but to surpass him. Moreover, he deliberately mentioned the film and television network, hoping to remind everyone of the news online about the flop of the new drama on the Second Star Film and Television Network.
Or rather, compared to the data of new dramas on the other two film and television platforms, it was definitely a flop.
He also realized from this that he couldn't compete head-on with the other two video platforms; he simply couldn't win. In the future, his Baofeng Video would have to play it safe and just make money. It wouldn't be bad to even try to get on the good side of a video platform like Tencent.
As long as Chen Jincheng's second-generation Starry Sky Film and Television Network falls, but his Storm Music lives on, that is one aspect in which he surpasses Chen Jincheng.
Another commotion erupted at the hotel lobby entrance, accompanied by the sweet, girlish shouts of internet celebrities. It was clear that another guy who was popular with girls had arrived.
Wangzai looked over and was surprised. It was a stylishly dressed young man with a big smile. The other person was not an internet celebrity, but a very popular young idol, Cai Xukun. In just one week, his popularity had surpassed that of Su Haoze.
Especially Su Haoze's tour concerts, starting from the third show, couldn't even sell out the tickets, after being completely overshadowed by Phoenix Legend's sold-out shows.
Cai Xukun was indeed popular with girls, and a group of female internet celebrities went up to greet him.
Chen Jincheng was quite surprised. He didn't expect that Douyin would invite this young idol as an internet celebrity this time. However, considering that Liu Hui was going to do everything he could to promote this young idol, he would naturally push him with all kinds of resources. The Douyin Live Streaming Gala was bound to be very popular.
While dealing with those girls, Cai Xukun also spotted Chen Jincheng.
What a coincidence! I ran into Brother Cheng as soon as I arrived, so I had to go over and say hello.
He hurried over to Chen Jincheng's location.
Wangzai didn't expect Cai Xukun to walk towards them. However, thinking that he was going to acquire Baofeng Video and needed to interact with more celebrities, he straightened his collar, put on a smile, and prepared to greet this top young star.
