Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities-Chapter 42 - 40: The Ancestral Master’s Exclusive BGM
After considering the future development paths for Jiang Xiaobai, Chen Jincheng also calculated the orders for Jinghong Women’s Clothing.
550,000 orders at 5.8 yuan each meant a commission of 3.19 million for Second-Life Star. And it wasn’t over yet. The hype hadn’t died down, so subsequent orders would continue to roll in.
This was probably why so many streamers in his past life would have fought tooth and nail for a chance to sell products.
Adding the 3 million in advertising fees that were already a sure thing, even after paying 35% and 40% in taxes respectively (the actual situation isn’t this precise, but we’ll go with it), this would significantly alleviate the financial pressure on Second-Life Star.
Sister Hong then reported, "Also, Tiao Yin has given our Second-Life Star an S-Class promotional resource for a live broadcast. You’re trending online today, so you can use it right away. We can have Xiaobai and the others make an appearance on your stream as planned, then let them start their own broadcasts right after."
Chen Jincheng nodded. "Then let’s use it. But we need to come up with a solid plan for the live event to maximize its effectiveness."
On Tiao Yin, it wasn’t just videos that had tiered traffic pools and promotional boosts; live broadcast rooms did too.
Every month, Tiao Yin Guilds would receive a certain number of promotional resources for both videos and live broadcasts, which the guild could then freely distribute to its artists.
The lowest tier of live broadcast promotion was E-Level, which would push your stream to 300-500 viewers and result in 1-10 retained online users.
This means the stream is recommended to 300-500 potentially interested users. Anyone who clicks in and stays for a certain amount of time counts as one retained online user.
Every guild gets a lot of these each month. Some independent streamers also get this initial promotion if their stats are good enough or if someone gives them a large enough gift.
D-Level promotion pushes to 1,000-3,000 viewers, with 20-60 retained online users.
C-Level promotion pushes to 8,000-10,000 viewers, with 100-260 retained online users.
B-Level promotion pushes to 30,000-50,000 viewers, with 1,000+ retained online users.
A-Level promotion pushes to 100,000-300,000 viewers, with 3,000-5,000 retained online users.
S-Class promotion pushes to 1 million+ viewers, with 10,000+ retained online users.
There were even higher SS-Class and SSS-Class tiers, but only Four and Five Star guilds or top-tier influencers with massive pull could get those.
Of course, these numbers weren’t absolute. Some people’s streams were ineffective and wouldn’t come close to hitting the target for retained users.
Others had excellent streams and could far exceed these figures.
As for how many people would stick around after the promotion ended and how many would return the next day—that all came down to the streamer’s skill.
This time, Tiao Yin was giving him an S-Class promotional resource for his broadcast, which meant a push to one million viewers.
Normally, anyone who got an S-Class promotion could basically achieve 10,000+ retained online users. With a good performance, some could even hit 20,000 to 30,000.
’So, given my current situation, this is a huge opportunity. If I play my cards right, with this S-Class promotional resource and my current online hype, the stream should gain a baseline of at least 10,000 more concurrent viewers.’
’My afternoon stream broke 20,000 concurrent viewers, so we should be able to break 30,000+ at a minimum.’
’If the performance is good and I can get 20,000 to 30,000 retained users, I can try to break 50,000+ concurrent viewers. Even if I can’t maintain it after the promotion ends and the numbers drop back to normal the next day, at least I’ll have hit that 50,000+ milestone.’
’But to achieve that, my previous streaming style definitely won’t cut it. I need to add some real spectacle to the broadcast.’
’Since the girls will be making an appearance, I need to make good use of them.’
He did have an idea, inspired by the "Wuyou Media Crown Prince’s Personal Beauty Pageant Wheel."
The premise was simple: print the faces of various female streamers from Wuyou Media on a wheel, which the "Crown Prince" would then spin to randomly select a streamer to accompany him.
’I can borrow that ’Beauties on a Wheel’ concept.’
’I could put Jiang Xiaobai, Yinyin, and the other girls on a wheel.’
’During the stream, we can hold a lottery for viewers who comment. The winner gets to spin the wheel. Whichever girl it lands on has to come out and perform for the lucky viewer. For example, if it lands on Yinyin, she could say sweetly, "Brother so-and-so, Yinyin will now perform a dance just for you."’
’Of course, the high-rollers who send expensive gifts could also specify which girl they want to see perform.’
’Just imagine it: a row of girls, all dressed to the nines, standing behind me on stream. Viewers get a chance to spin a wheel and have a girl call them ’brother’ and perform just for them. How explosive would that be?’
’There’s no way that wouldn’t get me 50,000+ concurrent viewers.’
’This would also be a chance for the girls to showcase themselves. If they perform well, they’ll naturally attract followers. After all, beautiful women always have an advantage over male streamers.’
"Sister Hong, can you get a wheel made for me..." Chen Jincheng quickly explained his idea to her.
After listening, Sister Hong looked at him with a face full of admiration. "Boss, I’m truly in awe of how your mind works. This idea is guaranteed to be a hit. You were really born for this line of work. Just one question: should we put all the girls on it, or just a select few?"
Chen Jincheng thought for a moment and said, "Let’s do about half of them. It’s impossible to give more than thirty people a chance to shine in a single stream. We’ll rank them by follower count. This will also create a sense of competition. From now on, participation in events will be based on rank."
"Understood." Sister Hong nodded. "I’ll take care of it. And I’ll tell the selected girls to practice their performances so they don’t waste this opportunity."
Before long, Jiang Xiaobai, Lin Qing, Yinyin, and a few other girls from Second-Life Star with the highest follower counts received a notification from Sister Hong. They were to go have special photos taken and were informed about the live broadcast and the "Beauties on a Wheel."
The chosen girls didn’t hesitate for a second. They all scrambled to prepare their performances, determined not to miss such a golden opportunity to shine.
As for the girls who weren’t selected, they could only look on with envy. But there was nothing to be done; opportunities were limited.
After delegating the tasks, Chen Jincheng took a rare moment to lean back in his boss’s chair and play the Life Simulation Game in his mind.
He accepted and completed several quests without receiving any rewards. Then, he suddenly noticed a quest with a golden exclamation mark appear over his media company.
His eyes lit up. It seemed that quests with golden exclamation marks always came with rewards.
He immediately looked at the quest.
[A talented but unrecognized musical genius has come to your company. He has written a song and wants to give it to a ’fated person.’ However, this fated person must find three girls to have dinner with him!]
Chen Jincheng couldn’t help but scoff when he saw the quest. ’What kind of musical genius is this? Sounds more like a playboy.’
Nevertheless, he decisively controlled his game character to spend some time finding three beautiful women to have dinner with the musical genius.
Upon completing the quest, he indeed received a reward:
[Congratulations on completing the musical genius’s quest and becoming his ’fated person.’ He has gifted you a song he just wrote.
Reward: The Ancestral Master’s exclusive NGM for the scummiest persona to sing the most devoted love song: "Girl" (DJ Remix)!
Notes: 1. The musical arrangement and song have already been registered and filed with the National Music Network! 2. When the host possesses the "scummiest persona," singing this love song will grant a special BUFF: Emotional Resonance. 3. Girls who hear the song live will experience a racing heart and a mind in disarray! 4. When you have the "Ancestral Master" title and this song appears as the BGM for your video, its infectious power will be amplified!!]
HOLY SHIT!
Chen Jincheng cried out in shock when he saw what song it was.
’This is fucking awesome!’
In his past life, the Ancestral Master was practically synonymous with this song; he even bought the copyright for it! It was said that the moment this battle anthem played, everyone would be reminded of the "Most Devoted Man in Jiangnan."
The song was even jokingly called the city anthem of Hang City!
