Chapter 336 What is Sword Kicking?
Chen Jincheng was surprised that Sister Hong was able to sign these two girls.
These two are both girls who will make a name for themselves in the future.
There's a reason why Li Lixing was called the top beauty in Linhai City and the third generation's pinnacle of pure desire in her previous life. Even 21 years later, she still amassed more than 400 million fans, and her love story with that patriarch is also a topic of much discussion.
Looking at her now, her sweet appearance was indeed very attractive to boys, especially college boys. As long as there were resources to promote her, it's no wonder she became popular.
However, Wu Liufang really caused a big stir in her previous life, becoming a sensation across the entire internet. She was also the only internet celebrity in 23 years who almost broke 1000 million followers overnight, if Douyin hadn't banned her in an emergency.
Even that talented person who took the blame for something and became an overnight sensation can't compare to her.
It's fair to say that if she hadn't been banned, she would have been one of the most popular female internet celebrities in the past 24 years.
The reason she was first banned was because her identity as an athlete was borderline. Of course, some people also said that she wore a kimono in her live broadcast, which was indeed inappropriate. Therefore, she, the founder, and the company were punished and had no one else to blame but themselves.
Especially the company, since these are things that the company tacitly approves and guides; otherwise, this situation wouldn't have occurred.
The strange thing is that, under normal circumstances, if a female internet celebrity were banned for this reason, she would definitely be ridiculed by the entire internet, since she was wearing a kimono in her live stream.
But she was different. When she was first unblocked, her fan base surged, gaining more than 600 million overnight. If Douyin hadn't been banned again, she probably would have quickly surpassed 1000 million.
Naturally, there are three reasons for this reversal:
Firstly, the argument that it's borderline is untenable. Anyone who has seen Douyin's LSP knows this. If her standards were to be banned, most of Douyin's female internet celebrities would be affected.
Secondly, she has indeed been doing volunteer work and good deeds for a long time, which is undeniable.
Thirdly, this incident was actually reported by a fellow retired gymnast. The key point is that the retired athlete initially dressed even more provocatively than Wu Liufang when she danced, but she was short and stout and didn't become famous.
This has caused public dissatisfaction.
The value of the saying "Those who want you dead are always your peers" continues to rise.
Because of this, the sudden appearance of 1000 million people banding together to support them panicked some people. Under pressure, Douyin had no choice but to remove all the attention and issue a second penalty.
Then everyone got even more upset, and for two consecutive days they mocked each other for not even having the right to follow one person, saying that it was too much of a fuss.
Dou Yin seemed worried that punishing only Wu Liufang would cause a backlash, so she punished all the dozen or so artists from that founder's company as well.
Chen Jincheng felt that the punishment given to Wu Liufang in his previous life was nothing. Just the fact that she wore a kimono and spoke Japanese in the live broadcast room was inappropriate. Therefore, it was only right that the founder's company was punished.
Perhaps in another world, if Douyin had been punished for being a public figure wearing a kimono and speaking Japanese during a live stream, none of the subsequent events would have occurred.
Ironically, it was another retired gymnast who filed a formal complaint against her, which triggered a backlash from the public.
Chen Jincheng looked at Wu Liufang and started to think. This girl had the potential to become popular. Her status as a retired athlete, the many gold medals she had won, and her volunteer work and good deeds could all be used to promote her and attract attention.
The fact that she became famous as the "Tumbler Girl" has prevented her from being reported for skirting the rules again.
Similarly, some of her behaviors in her previous live streams should be regulated, especially things like wearing kimonos and speaking Japanese, which should be strictly prohibited. If she's going to wear kimonos, she should wear Hanfu instead.
After all, that athlete who pushed the tide might report Wu Liufang in another world, and might report her again in this world. The excuse of "playing it close to the edge" is just that; the real reason is envy.
Even if they don't report it as borderline, they might come up with other reasons.
Therefore, we still need to be careful and not give them an opportunity.
Sister Hong had already brought the two girls to him and introduced them: "Boss, their names are Li Lixing and Wu Liufang. They were recently signed by the company. Li Lixing participated in the college goddess competition and was a strong contender for the top three, but the results of the competition are not out yet."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jincheng looked at Li Lixing and said, "In that case, you'll have to make a choice. One option is to wait until the College Goddess event ends, where you might get a top-three finish, a million-dollar prize, and even my special planning services."
"The second one is to participate in this filming, but I have to withdraw from the college goddess event. After all, once I become famous, I can no longer participate in the selection of this event. I can only choose one."
Upon hearing his words, Li Lixing decisively replied, "I want to participate in this filming."
She is not stupid.
Although Sister Hong said she had a chance to compete for the top three college goddesses, it was still just a chance. There might be girls who were even more outstanding than her. But now that she's participating in the filming, the boss has said that if she becomes famous, she can't participate in the college goddess selection.
That means it will be a hit.
Moreover, is it possible that the video filmed by this boss won't go viral?
Given the choice between an opportunity right in front of you and one that depends on luck, everyone knows that you should seize the opportunity right in front of you first.
"Okay, then come with me!" Chen Jincheng said, leading his group to the area where the tumbler doll perform.
Upon arriving here, Fu Qian and Wei Weiwei were also quite curious and wanted to see what tricks Mr. Chen would play with this roly-poly toy.
"Come in with me!" Chen Jincheng led two girls dressed in Tang Dynasty Hanfu into the room and arrived at a roly-poly toy base.
He stood directly on a roly-poly toy and said to the two girls, "Stand on the roly-poly toy like me, and cover the base of the roly-poly toy with the hem of your fairy dresses so that you look like one big thing."
This is a bit difficult for girls; they can't stand up and stay stable, let alone squat down to adjust their skirts.
He also asked Sister Hong for help.
When the hem of the fairy-like skirt completely covered the roly-poly base, it was astonishing that the skirt and the roly-poly base seemed to be connected together, becoming a real roly-poly girl.
That Hanfu outfit, combined with her good looks, makes for a very pleasing sight to behold.
Chen Jincheng then instructed: "Now you all need to get used to the base of this roly-poly toy. At least you can sway around to maintain your balance, just like I do."
As he spoke, he began to sway back and forth with the roly-poly toy, mimicking the movements of the roly-poly toy ladies from his previous life.
Li Lixing and Wu Liufang, one a physical education student and the other an athlete, were quite good at sports. They learned Chen Jincheng's movements and got used to them very quickly.
Wu Liufang, in particular, could easily shake the roly-poly base in no time, and it was very stable.
Chen Jincheng got off the roly-poly base and went to Wu Liufang's side to give her guidance: "You did a very good job. Now you can try to incorporate some graceful gymnastics movements and try to make the swaying on the roly-poly look better."
Wu Liufang listened attentively. Mingming, on the roly-poly base, twisted and turned, and her waist was able to show a supple movement, highlighting a graceful and charming feeling.
This scene surprised Fu Qian, Wei Weiwei, Sister Hong, and the other members of the performing arts troupe who were watching from outside.
Anyone can see how entertaining it is when this girl shakes.
Fu Qian was truly amazed: "It's not acrobatics, but it simply displays beauty. Mr. Chen's mind is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people."
To his surprise, this was not the end.
Chen Jincheng then said to Wu Liufang, "Afterwards, you'll be performing here as the 'Tumbler Girls.' Once you become famous, many people will come here specifically to see you. At that time, you'll need to learn how to interact with your fans. For example, if a fan reaches out to you, you should shake your head and gently shake their hand. Remember to act shy and coy. Make sure that your interaction makes them feel that their trip was worthwhile." As he spoke, he took out his phone, turned on the camera, and extended his hand to Wu Liufang.
Wu Liufang was quick-witted; she immediately shook the roly-poly base and then pounced on Chen Jincheng in a very graceful manner. When she got close, her fair hand lightly touched Chen Jincheng's hand, and then, with a shy look on her face, she fell backward with the roly-poly.
Chen Jincheng glanced at the video and nodded. "It would look great with some editing. We should shoot it with that feel in mind."
Then he looked at Li Lixing, who had also gotten used to it.
He also said to her, "I heard what Wu Liufang and I just said. Now, you can interact with me in your own way."
Li Lixing naturally understood Chen Jincheng's meaning. Especially after seeing Wu Liufang's demonstration, she also twisted the roly-poly base and spun around twice along the base before bending down in a difficult manner in front of Chen Jincheng.
She made an even bolder move than Wu Liufang, gently stroking Chen Jincheng's cheek with her palm, her face carrying a delicate and alluring air, like a seductive fox. Even as the roly-poly toy tilted back, a hint of cunning appeared on her face.
After all, she took advantage of Chen Jincheng.
Chen Jincheng smiled; the girl was quick to understand.
He put his phone away and went to the side to start editing the two videos, adding music to them, namely the song "Beautiful Myth".
The "tumbler doll girl" who initially became popular was basically accompanied by this kind of song.
The moment the young lady interacted with the tourists, captured in slow motion and accompanied by this song, instantly evoked that feeling.
After editing the videos he filmed for the two girls, he called over Sister Hong and handed her the videos, saying, "Sister Hong, when you're filming them, film them in this way."
He's only filming with his phone now. He'll use a professional camera later, and then adjust the position and lighting to make the effect even better.
Hongjie had just seen the boss filming with his phone and was curious about what kind of video he would make, so she took the phone and started watching.
Fu Qian and Wei Weiwei also looked over, both of them equally curious.
As soon as she clicked on Wu Liufang's video, she heard the music from a wonderful scene from "Beautiful Myth." With this background music, she was surprised to see Wu Liufang twisting her delicate body and rushing towards her boss.
Especially when I was in front of the boss, the video slowed down for a moment, as if I had a time warp feeling from a movie.
As the general manager of Ershixingchen, she knew this video would go viral, and that having Lao Chen film it would make it even more effective.
Sure enough, once the boss puts in the effort to plan and shoot a video, he can make anything into something amazing.
After Fu Qian and Wei Weiwei finished reading, they stared at each other for a long time.
They had considered what kind of tricks they could play with this roly-poly toy, and even thought about hiring an acrobatic performance, but after seeing the video Mr. Chen filmed, they were truly moved.
"Mr. Chen, I really admire you. We thought about it for so long and never imagined that this roly-poly toy could be played with like this."
"Yes, our thinking is still very limited."
The two couldn't help but say it.
Hearing this, Sister Hong laughed and said, "You two, don't be so sentimental. Don't forget that our boss is the best videographer in Douyin. Don't compare yourself to him in this area, or you'll hurt your pride."
When Fu Qian and Wei Weiwei saw these words, they couldn't help but look at the actress from the performing arts troupe who was wearing Hanfu. Wasn't this a blow to their self-esteem?
After preparing for so long and spending so much money, thinking I could show off in front of the other person, I ended up just being the one who got humiliated.
"Boss, can we film this?" Li Xiaoyan asked, having also watched the video.
It's clear that Ju Jingyi is also quite eager to try.
After all, the two girls took such beautiful photos.
This made Wu Liufang and Li Lixing a little nervous, after all, they knew that these two were both "Cheng Girls" and internet celebrities with many fans.
They wanted to compete, but how could these newcomers possibly win?
Chen Jincheng flicked Xiao Ju and the other girl on the forehead: "Don't be too greedy. You have your own missions, and besides, you are the main characters this time."
Hearing this, the two girls were overjoyed and took Chen Jincheng's arm on each side.
This scene, however, was witnessed by Wu Liufang and Li Lixing.
Humans are good learners, and they seem to have learned something; the two predecessors provided excellent examples.
At this time, Chen Jincheng also called Li Lixing and Wu Liufang down.
At the same time, Fu Qian and the other performers from the cultural troupe were also called over.
He said, "Alright, let's not forget our purpose today. I'm going to shoot a video, and everyone should participate. Chairman Fu, I need you to call all the staff in ancient costumes from the scenic area over, both men and women, the more the better. I want to create an ancient atmosphere."
“Okay, I’ll arrange it.” Fu Qian nodded and immediately called the person in charge of Jinglan City.
This video is the first one we're making to promote Jinglan City, so we have to fully cooperate.
Taking advantage of this time, Chen Jincheng picked up his work laptop and began writing a script, starting from when he entered Jinglan City and bought a sword...
This scene was nothing new to Sister Hong and Lao Chen, the employees of Second Star.
After all, the boss could write a script on the fly and give it to Zhang Yi to film, and the video went viral as soon as it was filmed.
Therefore, if you doubt anything about him, don't doubt his ability in this area.
After finishing the script, Chen Jincheng instructed Sister Hong, "Sister Hong, make copies of this script and distribute them to everyone."
“Okay, boss!” Sister Hong also got to work, went to a copy shop, made copies of the planning script, and gave a copy to everyone, including Fu Qian and Wei Weiwei, so that everyone could feel a little involved.
After receiving the script, Lao Chen started reading it. After all, he was in charge of filming and needed to have the script memorized. However, when he got to the part about sword kicking, he couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what is sword kicking? How should I move the camera around it?"
This is also essential knowledge; otherwise, you won't know how to pose for shots and coordinate with the crew.
Fu Qian also looked at Chen Jincheng with curiosity. He knew that this Mr. Chen was good at sword dancing, but he really didn't know what kicking sword was and had never even heard of it.
Sister Hong, Xiao Ju, Li Xiaoyan, and the others were also curious, and they all looked at Chen Jincheng.
Chen Jincheng smiled, but didn't introduce it. Instead, he took the Longquan sword and walked to a more open area in front, intending to demonstrate it directly.
This also attracted everyone's attention.
