Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities

Chapter 471: Chapter 256: Becoming the Face of Video E-commerce

The male lead would find the female lead and fling a handful of powder in her face, only to realize he’d actually grabbed a handful of her dandruff. The video would use this exaggeration to show a severe dandruff problem, leading into a recommendation for a shampoo.

It was a bit of a prank video, but to drive sales on Tiao Yin, you first needed something that could attract views.

And yet, a video imitating this concept, posted on the male and female leads’ two separate accounts, had gotten 780,000 and 1.35 million likes, respectively.

The key was that when they filmed it, both of them only had a few tens of thousands of followers.

So, with Sister Feiye’s current 18.59 million followers, plus his promotion, it should be no problem for this video to easily break 2 million likes. And that’s not even counting the wave of traffic resources Tiao Yin was giving Second-Life Star.

The second concept was, naturally, for Jiang Xiaobai’s sexy pajamas.

The concept he’d prepared for her was a "lights-out pajama show."

This was a wildly popular concept in 2024. Countless female influencers, both famous and unknown, rushed to imitate it, each one trying to outdo the others and prove who was the sexiest.

The concept was simple: the girl wears two outfits—one conservative, one sexy.

When the lights were on, she’d appear in the conservative outfit. When the lights went dark, she’d be in the sexy pajamas, striking alluring and provocative poses.

He planned to make a few changes. By having the lights-out portion take place on a bed, with her clad in sexy pajamas, it would create an even stronger, special kind of implication.

In his past life, the most popular version of this concept had reached over 3.8 million likes.

He was confident that with this concept, Jiang Xiaobai’s final numbers wouldn’t be bad, especially since she would also have the support of Tiao Yin’s traffic resources for Second-Life Star.

The third concept was a stocking-themed video for Yinyin.

For this, he would adapt a stocking-and-car concept from his past life.

In this video concept, the female lead would only be shown for a moment as she walks toward a car, just long enough for viewers to see that she’s beautiful and has a great body.

Then, the perspective would shift to inside the car. A pair of long, stocking-clad legs would appear outside the door. They’d swing into the vehicle, and finally, settle in the passenger seat. From the driver’s seat, a hand would reach out.

When she got out of the car, her long, stocking-clad legs would emerge first again—only this time, the stockings would be ripped.

It was another video whose implications any pervert would grasp instantly.

The combination of stockings and the passenger seat of a car would also create a certain special kind of implication.

This concept had also generated a video with over 3 million likes in the other world.

As for Ximeng’s secretary-outfit video concept, that type was less common. The only idea he came up with was one based on a "before and after" contrast.

The so-called contrast would be this: at the beginning, the girl is at home doing housework, wearing an apron, looking disheveled and without any makeup. Then, her phone rings—it’s her boss. In the next instant, the scene would cut to the girl at the office, wearing exquisite makeup and a sexy secretary outfit.

This one would be for Ximeng. Although the most popular version of this concept in the other world only got a little over 1.8 million likes, it was one of the most widely imitated.

Because Kuaishou had previously tried to poach him, Tiao Yin had given Second-Life Star a wave of traffic resources. Combined with his and the girls’ own popularity and follower counts, plus the hype generated by their video editing teams, he was confident he could make these concepts perform even better than they had in the other world.

For other influencers and MCNs, a typical video, even from a top-tier influencer, would only get a couple hundred thousand likes at best. Hitting a million likes was considered a viral hit and often came down to luck.

Therefore, once he rolled out these new concepts, the video stats alone were guaranteed to be explosive.

And if the video stats were explosive, the e-commerce sales data certainly wouldn’t be far behind. He was sure this would deliver a massive shock to the other influencers and MCNs, and a pleasant surprise for Tiao Yin.

In his office, Chen Jincheng organized the concepts, summarized them, and then fleshed each one out into a proper plan.

He had just finished when Sister Hong rushed in. "Boss," she reported, "I’ve spoken with all the product partners. They’re on their way to the company now. I’ve also notified Sister Feiyan and the other girls, and they’re all waiting in the reception hall."

Chen Jincheng nodded. Now, he needed to negotiate the commission rates for this new round of e-commerce videos with the product partners.

Previously, by helping Tiao Yin test its shopping cart feature and promoting nightgowns for Jinghong Women’s Clothing, he had achieved an insane number of orders. Because of that track record, he now had the leverage to negotiate commissions with the product partners.

Moreover, this time he planned to become the poster child for e-commerce on Tiao Yin.

Only by becoming that poster child would his value be truly recognized. Then, when Kuaishou eventually counterattacked and Tiao Yin found itself in a tight spot, his importance would become even more obvious.
