Chinese entertainment: Top stars start with group broadcasts

Chapter 111 Traffic Generation

"Contact the person in charge of Qingtian Film and Television immediately."

As soon as he left the data center, Yu Ke immediately gave orders to his assistant.

The advantage of graduating from a prestigious university is that you can find alumni in almost every unicorn company in China, even if you just take a few detours.

As a rival company, Douyin's traffic would attract his attention if there was any anomaly, especially since this time the traffic anomaly was in his short drama business.

The operation of Sunny Day Video is not complicated. It simply involves attaching a tool to the video, and technically, it is almost effortless.

The key lies in the time difference.

Their group of partner companies were tasked with creating a mini-program, handling everything from the framework and operational logic to personnel preparation, setup, and maintenance.

In addition, it needs to be aligned with the platform parameters, which requires two or three rounds of testing.

It can take as little as a week, or as long as a month.

Even with outsourcing, the outsourcing team still has to go through these processes one by one, which may take longer.

With millions of views per day, that adds up to tens of millions in ten days.

At this moment, time is embodied in money and performance.

"The phone is switched off over there, so we can't reach you right now."

"What?!"

In just a moment, countless thoughts flashed through Yu Ke's mind.

"Regardless, I must contact the person in charge of Qingtian Film and Television today. If I can't reach them, you don't need to come in this afternoon."

In the short drama operations department, Yu Ke's words are law.

But for Ke, it was also like walking on thin ice.

His superiors seemed to value him highly, but they assigned his nephew to his department, which was practically a direct indication that "he can be replaced."

Therefore, he must produce sufficiently impressive results.

Back in his office, he opened the "Sunny Day Movies" mini-program on Douyin.

"Eleven more have been added!"

His heart sank to the bottom.

Especially after discovering that even seemingly insignificant platforms like Tudou Video also had this mini-program.

A bad feeling welled up inside me.

"That shouldn't be the case!"

These companies are all located in Beijing, and Kuaishou is also located in Beijing. There's no reason why they would contact companies like Pipixia but bypass Kuaishou!

unless……

These companies went to Chengdu overnight.

"When did these guys become so diligent?"

"Mr. Yu, we've made contact. Ms. Liu from Qingtian said that their company's General Manager Shen is currently in Beijing."

"In the capital!"

pass!

Everything is working now!

Why didn't they come to Kuaishou?

"Give me the phone, I'll make the call."

The call connected quickly, and a young, confident voice came through.

After a brief conversation of more than ten minutes, Yu Ke smiled and hung up the phone.

The moment he put it down, his eyes instantly turned like those of a fierce eagle.

"Chen Ding!"

In another office, Chen Ding was still chatting idly with a female employee.

"Lili, are you free tonight? Let's have dinner together!"

"Hehe! Why didn't I see you come over to invite her earlier? Did you try to ask that new girl in the finance department out of us?"

A woman with a full figure, medium-length hair slightly curled, and youthful clothing looks like a girl in her mid-twenties.

"Don't even mention it! We ran into an idiot this morning who dared to come here and talk about cooperation with just a business plan."

"He looks like a clueless fresh graduate who doesn't know anything."

Chen Ding looked disgusted, speaking of Shen Mo as if he had run into a jinx.

The woman rolled her eyes at him; she knew all too well what kind of person he was.

The poor young man probably didn't even understand what he meant by asking for a kickback; no wonder nothing came of it.

"Young man, you don't know how good your sister-in-law is; you mistake a young girl for a treasure. I'm no longer a young man; none of those young girls can compare to you!"

"Get out of here..." The woman was just about to play hard to get when, just as her husband was away on a business trip, a dignified middle-aged man walked into the office.

"Chen Ding, come to my office."

Vice President Chen!

The woman's pupils contracted.

"It's alright, I'll be right back. We can talk about our business later."

Compared to the fear that ordinary employees had of Chen Yifu, Chen Ding was much more relaxed.

The feeling of the woman's smooth, delicate hands was still lingering in his mind when Chen Ding walked into the office and saw Yu Ke there. Only then did he put away his relaxed and lewd expression.

"Uncle...Mr. Chen, did you call me?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a rustling sound as a stack of visitor registration books flew straight toward him.

Snapped!

The register hit his face and fell to the ground.

"Look at the mess you've made!"

Chen Ding looked puzzled, glancing at his uncle and then at Yu Ke.

"What's wrong?"

"Was there a young man who came to discuss cooperation this morning?"

"Cooperation? Young man!"

Chen Ding instinctively denied it, but soon he remembered the young man with an annoying smile always on his face.

It's him!

It turns out he has connections!

Yes, that's true.

"I read his plan; it's pure nonsense."

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Yu, do you know what the return on investment he gave us?"

"2.5... I've never seen anyone dare to exaggerate like that."

Chen Ding was beaming with pride.

I'm certain that Yu Ke wanted to embarrass me, which is why this happened.

However, he wasn't stupid and had already come up with an excuse.

Snapped!

Another stack of documents was slapped over.

"Stop talking! You, right now, immediately, go and bring them back to me."

……

It's almost time to leave work.

Shen Mo rejoined Kuaishou.

This time, Yu Ke, accompanied by his assistant, came down to greet him personally.

"Mr. Shen, welcome, welcome!"

"Mr. Yu, I'm flattered!"

Neither of them mentioned what happened that morning.

Shen Mo wasn't in a hurry. Since the other party had taken the initiative to call and contact him, they must have already thought of a way to compensate him.

Compared to tangible benefits, all those other messy and trivial matters are unimportant.

He also knew that the other party had condescended to do so because they valued the project he had brought.

This is real money being given away.

Aside from idiots like Chen Ding, no normal person would turn away money that's offered to them.

Shen Mo stumbled upon a winning deal and, through this small incident, actually secured a contract on Kuaishou that was nearly as lucrative as one on Douyin.

This significantly increased the profit margin he could negotiate with content providers later on.

After declining Kuaishou's dinner invitation, Shen Mo carried his things and visited Liu Qing's director father.

This meeting was also Liu Quan's assessment of his partner, Qingtian.

After dinner, Shen Mo didn't feel anything overall.

He answered whatever the other person asked.

Liu Quan simply wanted to see what kind of person was running the company with her daughter.

I'm not going to be his son-in-law, so there's no need for me to resort to sales tactics and pander to him.

After finishing his meal, Shen Mo took his leave in a very nonchalant manner.

What do you think?

Liu Quan stood by the window, watching Shen Mo's departing figure.

"He's not very old, but he's quite steady in his work, which complements Xiao Qing's lively personality."

Liu's mother looked on with admiration.

She knew her daughter better than anyone.

She's fine with acting, but she doesn't have the time or the ability to manage a company.

"I asked a friend about it, and Qingqing's company is currently showing great promise."

"These are all changes brought about by this young man joining us."

"Are you trying to get involved?"

As her husband's wife, Liu's mother quickly realized what he was thinking.

Liu Quan sighed.

"There are fewer and fewer projects in the past two years, and many people in the industry are focusing on the short drama market."

"With this young man stirring things up, you have no idea how excited those guys are right now."

"I'm not interested in these things. I think this young man has the makings of an actor."

"Oh! You want to sign him?" Liu Quan was intrigued this time.

"Why sign it! Isn't it better this way?"

Shen Mo wasn't too nervous; he treated it as a visit to an elder.

In particular, this elder is also a senior figure in the industry.

The next day, the article "After Breaking Up, I Married My Ex's Boss" garnered 131 million views and 309 million in recharges.
