Starting from a Bar to Sign Internet Celebrities
Chapter 428 - 240: Prank Video! A Date with the Teacher
Although Tiao Yin had already sent a wave of traffic their way, the more buzz they could generate, the better.
So, he had said those things on purpose. As for the part about approaching several hotels at the beginning, that was a fabrication. He had only ever approached the Wenhua Oriental Hotel.
But once the Wave-Summoning Technique blew up and this place became a viral hotspot, this story would become a legendary tale.
Chen Jincheng created this viral hotspot just because he wanted to save money on a team-building trip.
Because of this, Chen Jincheng was told to "dream on" by several hotels. Only President Lin of the Wenhua Oriental Hotel had the foresight to cooperate, and he ended up with a massive windfall.
The more legendary tales like this there were, the more discussion points the internet would have about him, and the more long-term benefits he would reap.
Moreover, framing it this way was hugely beneficial for both him and President Lin. The latter would be showered with praise as well.
He was taking their money to create a plan, so he was quite considerate of his client’s interests.
And once the Wave-Summoning Technique plan succeeded, many other hotel owners would probably start getting paranoid, wondering if Chen Jincheng had approached their hotel and their manager had cursed him out, making them miss out on a fortune of a lifetime.
After she finished recording, Sister Hong shot him an OK sign, asking if that part of the conversation was usable.
She felt his words had potential for hype and would amaze people.
He nodded in return.
Seeing this, Sister Hong took out her phone and started working, clipping that segment and sending it to the clipping group’s WeChat chat.
「Coastal City.」
Yijin didn’t go back to his hometown for the National Day holiday. As someone whose career was being an online shut-in, he didn’t have many friends, so there was no need to make a special trip back.
He’d rather stay in Coastal City with his girlfriend.
The moment he saw Sister Hong’s message in the clipping group chat, he immediately checked it.
It was the conversation between Xue Qian and the boss.
Having done this for so long, he naturally knew this conversation was perfect material for a clip.
He immediately forwarded the video from Sister Hong to his studio’s employees, telling them to upload it to their clip accounts as quickly as possible.
His influencer girlfriend also watched the video and said enviously, "I’m so jealous they get to go with the boss to shoot a team-building video!"
Yijin didn’t respond. ’What could I do?’ He’d used his clip accounts to promote her, but she still hadn’t made the cut.
The clipping group’s WeChat chat was already buzzing with excitement.
After all, anyone could see that this kind of video would definitely grab a lot of attention, especially since Brother Cheng and Xue Qian’s antics were already a hot topic.
Seriously, this was the benefit of making clips for Brother Cheng. There were just too many perks like this, which was why the "brotherhood" of his clippers was only getting bigger.
Thanks to the hype generated by Yijin and the other clipping groups, the conversation between Chen Jincheng and Xue Qian shot to the top of the trending topics at lightning speed.
Only then did everyone find out the real reason for Chen Jincheng’s trip to Shanya.
It was all to save money on a team-building trip. The fact that Chen Jincheng had apparently been told to "dream on" by other hotels sparked even more interest, with everyone guessing which Shanya hotels they could be.
In an instant, the news that Chen Jincheng was creating a plan for the Wenhua Oriental Hotel became even more popular.
「In the Wenhua Oriental Hotel’s lounge.」
Chen Jincheng was already writing up the plan.
’Shooting the video with Xue Qian is actually pretty simple,’ he thought. ’I just have to copy the one from the other world.’
Because he already had his own celebrity effect, if it could go viral in the other world, it wouldn’t do poorly in this one. Plus, it now had his own popularity to boost it, on top of the dedicated traffic from Tiao Yin and the hype from Yijin’s clip accounts.
With all these boosts, the numbers would probably be even more explosive than in the other world.
Since Xue Qian was interested in cross-dressing, it was only natural to help him film a cross-dressing video.
However, he couldn’t just shoot it the same way as in his previous life. He had to change the approach and make it a bit more interesting.
The plot would be: the internet’s number one playboy has signed a new Miss Cheng today. He’s rubbing his hands in glee, the hotel room is booked, and then in walks Xue Qian in drag, head lowered, looking shy and smiling demurely.
How could a video like that not be sensational?
The video title would be "Chen Jincheng’s New Miss Cheng!"
After finishing the plan, Chen Jincheng handed it to Xue Qian. "Let’s shoot the video according to this plan!"
Xue Qian took the plan and read it, his cheek twitching. ’Isn’t this a bit too much of a prank?’
When Sister Hong saw it, she could already imagine the cringey scene. ’The boss is actually playing into his "internet’s number one playboy" meme now,’ she thought. ’What happened to not getting involved with those close to him?’
But Chen Jincheng just gave Sister Hong an order, "Sister Hong, have the makeup artist do Old Xue’s makeup. Find him a woman’s outfit, too."
Sister Hong nodded.
She had someone make the arrangements.
The dress was easy to find. She asked Song Ya from the hotel, who quickly brought over a new, long red dress.
Next came the wig and the makeup.
The makeup artist from Second-Life Star was very skilled, but when she finished with Xue Qian’s makeup, everyone was dumbfounded.
Because Xue Qian, with makeup and a dress on, was actually quite beautiful.
Crucially, he even had the charm of a young married woman.
Could you believe it?
If you didn’t look closely, you really couldn’t tell it was Xue Qian.
The girls from Second-Life Star couldn’t believe it and started taking pictures of him with their phones.
Sister Hong had originally thought the scene would be an assault on the eyes.
But seeing Xue Qian’s current look... well...
Zhu Zhen had known this brother for so long and never imagined he had this side to him. He even seemed prettier than the one back at his home.
’This...’
He subconsciously gulped.
"Zhu Zhen, what’s with that expression? Why are you looking at me like that?" Xue Qian asked Zhu Zhen, confused. He had also noticed that the way the girls from Second-Life Star were looking at him was a bit off.
Zhu Zhen immediately took out his phone, opened the camera app, and handed it to him.
"Holy crap!" Xue Qian was shocked when he saw his reflection on the phone, and then his eyes actually lit up. "I never knew... I could look like this! Lao Cheng, let’s hurry up and film. I have a feeling this is going to be fun."
Chen Jincheng nodded, told the cameraman to get ready, and then started filming.
The opening shot was of him on his phone. "Alright, got it. Book the hotel room for me. Today’s Miss Cheng is gorgeous!"
After he sat down and put his phone away, he saw Xue Qian walk in, in drag.
"You’re Xue Qian?" Chen Jincheng immediately gave him a lecherous look.
Xue Qian played along, nodding bashfully.
Chen Jincheng maintained his lecherous act. "I’ve booked a room. Let’s go discuss the script in a bit."
Xue Qian continued to play along, nodding bashfully again.
The video ended there. All the key points had been shown; anyone who was supposed to get it, would get it.
After the shoot, Sister Hong instructed Xiaoliao, "Cut the video quickly and send it to Mr. Xue."
"Yeah, got it," Xiaoliao immediately replied. But as he was editing, he felt the video was just too outrageous.
So, during the edit, he specifically added a pink heart special effect to the shot of Xue Qian nodding bashfully.
’Wouldn’t that make it even more sensational?’ he thought.
After filming, Xue Qian didn’t take off his makeup right away. Instead, he started shamelessly taking selfies in his drag, making all sorts of seductive faces.
Watching this made Chen Jincheng’s cheek twitch. ’Has some new door been opened for him?’ he wondered.
Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly received a WeChat message. It was a photo from Teacher Li, along with a sentence: "Chen Tongxue, can your teacher wear this to give you your lesson?"
When Chen Jincheng saw Teacher Li’s photo, a smile crept onto his lips.
’This Teacher Li really knows her strengths,’ he thought. ’That curve-hugging power dress has a special charm. It’s only on a well-built woman like her that it looks so captivating.’
Chen Jincheng gulped. He made an excuse about needing to go back to his room, said goodbye to Xue Qian, asked him for the keys to the four-seater sports car, and then returned to his own room.
It was a rare chance to meet Teacher Li. Since they were meeting up here in Shanya, he definitely had to cherish the night. After getting back to his room, he took a nice shower and carefully changed his clothes.
’It’s a lesson, after all. Out of respect for the teacher, I have to clean myself up a bit.’
Satisfied with his appearance, he took out his phone, snapped a selfie for Teacher Li, and sent another message: "Teacher Li, I’m coming to class now."
Just as he sent the message, his doorbell rang.
He immediately went to open the door. When he saw the sexy girl standing outside, he was instantly troubled.
