Can not doing what one wants be called rebirth?

Chapter 139 137. Planning for the Future
It is human nature to show off.

This kind of thing does not discriminate between men and women, young and old, close or distant, as long as there is an opportunity, conditions, and such a perfect occasion, it would be best if there were two or three listeners.

Scholars call it showing off in front of others, while unsophisticated people call it bragging.

There is no doubt that in the eyes of some students tonight, Lu Jincheng's remarks were obviously bragging.

Miao Xiaoxian works for him?
It’s funny to think about it.

Why?
Looking at the entire Internet, Douyu has no rivals, and other live streaming platforms can only copy others.

In another dimension, on Bilibili, the up-host who originally danced the otaku dance also began to try to imitate Miao Xiaoxian's dance.

Whether it was the train or the pendulum, they soon occupied half of the dance area.

A girl who sounds so dazzling just like this is working for you, Lu Jincheng?

Who the hell are you?
Wu Zizhi snorted coldly and looked at Lu Jincheng who remained calm, his tone full of disdain.

"I understand. I understand. Lao Lu must have made some money."

Even Liu Zhe, who had a good relationship with Lu Jincheng, gave him a look that said, "Okay, okay, stop bragging."

no way.

Your classmates are often the ones who find it most difficult to accept the fact that you have suddenly succeeded.

This is also the reason why adults who are not doing well are most reluctant to attend class reunions.

We have all been through hard times, and have seen your worst and most ordinary side, so we subconsciously think that this is how you are.

You can only be like this.

If one day, a classmate really becomes rich, everyone may congratulate him with a smile on the surface, but grit their teeth in secret.

You deserve to die!

Moreover, in most people’s perception, it is still unknown what role MCN studios play in Internet celebrities.

Miao Xiaoxian stands in front of the stage because she is capable and good enough.

If that’s the case, what does it have to do with the studio?

Lu Jincheng simply took advantage of the big anchor's fame and got a tiny bit of the remaining income.

I'm afraid people who don't understand the specific situation will think so.

"Do you think you'd brag to me?"

Lu Jincheng smiled indifferently and didn't take Wu Zizhi seriously at all.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this."

Pan Xuan was thoughtful and quickly came out to smooth things over.

In her opinion, Lu Jincheng had just pursued Zhong Ruixi, and it was an important moment for a male to show off his feathers.

It's normal to brag a few words!
This Wu Zizhi has absolutely no emotional intelligence. He just has to expose other people, right?
Didn’t you see that Zhong Ruixi hasn’t spoken for a long time?

"Lv Jincheng, I'm actually quite curious too."

Another female classmate, Tan Huilin, raised her head and looked at Lu Jincheng opposite her with her big eyes.

"How exactly does your Midas Touch studio work? To be honest, I've been observing it online for quite a while."

"I've seen all the propaganda on the official blog. Can you really make any random person into an internet celebrity?"

To ask this question, it obviously takes some research.

Class 8 of Liaocheng No. Middle School is the key class of this term.

And Tan Huilin is a key student in the key class. She studies at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, one of the two 985 universities in Jiangcheng. She is a typical science and engineering girl.

When encountering the unknown, she always follows the principle of not questioning but maintaining exploration and curiosity.

"That's definitely not possible."

Lu Jincheng smiled and shook his head, then pouted in the direction of Wu Zizhi: "Wu Zizhi can't do that."

"He has no talent, no emotional intelligence, no characteristics, in short, he is useless, and he can't handle the traffic even if it comes."

"We definitely won't sign someone like this. It's a sheer waste of resources."

"Hold!"

Wu Zizhi was unhappy at the time, frowned and was about to lose his temper, but was immediately interrupted by Kelly Tan.

"Really? What about me?"

"You can, you have great potential."

Lu Jincheng looked at the empty beer bottle in front of her and said seriously, "This top student girl from a 985 university can't live without alcohol for three meals a day. This label brings traffic."

"What about Liu Zhe?"

"A dark-skinned sports student, if he can polish his strengths and avoid his weaknesses, he can be considered a promising talent."

"Where's Pan Xuan?"

"Come on, Xuanzi is a piano major, and her hands are so beautiful. If she starts with short videos, she will definitely be popular."

Lu Jincheng is full of confidence.

"real or fake?"

Liu Zhe and Pan Xuan looked at each other tacitly and spoke in unison.

I didn’t expect Lu Jincheng to think so highly of himself. I haven’t realized that he/she has the potential to become an Internet celebrity since he/she was born?
When Wu Zizhi heard this, he held his forehead tightly with one hand and rolled his eyes to the sky.

Just blow it, kid!

Your studio is open to everyone, and anyone who comes can make money, but not me?
Liu Zhe is so dark, what can he do?

Not to mention Pan Xuan, whose academic performance was at the bottom of the class. She only relied on her family to spend money to learn piano and become an art student.

To be honest, her level is really not good enough.

That's it?

Huh? That's it?

In his opinion, the only person at this table who could be associated with the word "Internet celebrity" was Zhong Ruixi.

No matter how sexy the Miao Xiaoxian on the screen is, no matter how charming her dance is, no matter how breathtaking the music is.

It was not as impactful as the gorgeously dressed Zhong Ruixi herself.

The dinner lasted so long that he would glance at Zhong Ruixi out of the corner of his eye almost every three to five seconds.

She is so pretty.

"Well, what about Ruirui? Will she become popular if she goes live?"

Sure enough, the question that Wu Zizhi wanted to ask was asked by Tan Huilin, the last person at the table.

He looked over with interest, but heard an unexpected answer.

"Ray is not doing well."

"?"

Before Zhong Ruixi responded, Wu Zizhi spoke first: "No, buddy"

"Do you have any aesthetic sense?"

"Except for not being able to dance, how is she worse than Miao Xiaoxian?"

Everyone looked at Lu Jincheng with curiosity, waiting for his next words.

In fact, Zhong Ruixi was already famous during his middle school years.

Every now and then someone would post on the school forum:

[Sincerely asking, I saw a beautiful girl at the north gate after school today, she was about 172cm tall, with a high ponytail, she was so beautiful that my friend and I couldn't take our eyes off her and even forgot to take a photo, does anyone know who she is? ]

[By the way, she bought an Audi A6. ]

At this time, the forum friends can often tell at a glance, and some kind-hearted people will even reply below.

[There are many beauties in China, but there is only one who can make you stare at her in a daze the whole time, little brother.]

[From Class 8 of Senior High School, a new student, right? I don’t even know. ]

[Ask around a bit more, I only said three letters, please show some mercy, zrx. ]

If Zhong Ruixi's father hadn't driven her to and from school every day, there would probably be even more suitors around her.

Zhong Ruixi already had such influence when she was in middle school, when the Internet had not yet taken off. Do you think she couldn't do live streaming?
Not only Wu Zizhi, but several other students were also a little confused.

"Actually, I've asked him this question a long time ago."

The person involved, Xiao Zhong, turned around to look at Lu Jincheng's expression, then spoke with a smile.

"He said that with my personality, I'm not suitable for this path. I'm too straight."

"what?"

"why?"

Kelly Tan and Pan Xuan asked. "I was actually talking nonsense at the time."

Lu Jincheng shrugged, took a bite of food, and added slowly.

“Mainly.”

"Live streaming is very hard. It's exhausting and tiring, and you have to accept a lot of negative energy."

"I am very protective of my shortcomings and I don't want Ruirui to suffer this."

As soon as he finished speaking, all the students except Pan Xuan and Zhong Ruixi took several seconds to react and finally understood what he meant.

Lu Jincheng, this is.
Is this a show of affection?
It’s true!

Zhong Ruixi pursed her lips slightly, turned her head and glanced at Lu Jincheng. Her watery eyes were shy and angry, and a blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.

"Wow."

"I hit it, I hit it!"

"Is this what a domineering president is like? He is unwilling to let his little wife suffer a little!"

Pan Xuan clapped with a smile, and she was always the first one to join in the cheering.

"Stop talking!"

Zhong Ruixi did not refute and winked at Pan Xuan.

Now, even if everyone was slow to react to what was just said, they all understood it completely.

Zhong Ruixi and Lu Jincheng.
Are they together?

No, why is he together with Zhong Ruixi?

Lu Jincheng really deserves to die!

Wu Zizhi stood there in a daze, swallowing dryly a few times, unwilling to believe this fact.

But looking at Zhong Ruixi's implicit consent to his words, the affection in her eyes, and the leaning posture of her body, every detail seemed to be reminding him.

These two people are talking!
Wu Zizhi grabbed the wine glass in front of him, tilted his head back and drank it all down.

clown.

Pure clown.

Just now, I was feeling sorry for Zhong Ruixi and saying that Lu Jincheng had no vision.

Damn it, they’re already talking to him!
The beer he had just taken out of the refrigerator was chilling to the bone, but Wu Zizhi felt that it was not as cold as the coldness in his heart.

I feel so cold and embarrassed to be laughed at by others.

"What are you two doing?"

Liu Zhe is a single-celled guy. Not only is his reaction slow, but he also needs clear signals from others before he can make a decision.

"Yes, it's just what you think, can't you see?"

Pan Xuan, who was walking in front of the crowd eating melons, smiled like an auntie, stretched out a finger, and circled Zhong Ruixi and Lu Jincheng beside her in the air.

"When I took a sneak shot of them last time, I thought they were a good match. Look!"

"It didn't take long, did it?"

"Congratulations. Well, Lao Lu, this dinner doesn't count. You'll have to treat me next time!"

Liu Zhe was surprised at Lu Jincheng's progress and gave his blessing with a grin.

"It's just a small matter, no problem, no problem."

Lu Jincheng smiled and nodded.

"So, treating everyone to dinner today is an official announcement in front of us single guys?"

Kelly Tan also started gossiping, took a sip of wine, and asked with narrowed eyes.

"That's not true."

Lu Jincheng waved his hand and said seriously: "Today I actually want to ask everyone if they are interested in helping with campus promotion."

"Campus promotion?"

Everyone looked at each other, their eyes full of curiosity.

"We are no longer called a studio. We have registered our own company and named it [Dianshichengjin] Media."

Mr. Lu patiently explained.

"So we need to diversify the recruitment of contracted talents. Everyone is in different schools, and each school happens to have its own characteristics. We will definitely be able to discover some talents with real potential."

"Of course, I won't ask you to help me for nothing. I will give you commissions for promotion."

"How much?"

Liu Zhe asked immediately.

"It depends on the talent's potential. If the contract is successful, the starting price is 1000. If you can recruit a talent of Miao Xiaoxian's level, then the price can be negotiated."

Lu Jincheng wiped his mouth and smiled.

"so much?"

Upon hearing the price, not only did Liu Zhe's eyes light up, but Kelly Tam next to him also felt a little tempted.

In 1000, 2014 yuan was equivalent to half a month's living expenses for many students.

Just by doing promotion and discovering potential talents, you can get 1000 yuan if you successfully sign a contract. That's simply too much!

It doesn't sound like a complicated matter, but Lu Jincheng is willing to pay so much money.
"Then what do we need to do?"

Kelly Tan continued to ask.

"Don't worry about materials and copywriting. We have a professional team here. We may need you to do some door-to-door promotion or take the initiative to contact campus celebrities."

Lu Jincheng said.

This approach actually originated from some MCN organizations in later generations that have been deeply involved in the campus field and have carved out a niche for themselves in a different way.

In that era, more than 90% of the top influencers on the platform were controlled by the top MCNs.

Under the Matthew effect, bloggers with potential in the market have either been signed or targeted by multiple MCN companies.

Under such a competitive situation, amateur college students are like uncivilized primeval forests.

The advantage of amateurs is that they don’t have any skills or camera movements, and they often express themselves by recording their lives.

This coincides with the best top influencers. When returning to basics, almost everyone is showing their true selves.

In the early stages of the development of the era, the rapid rise of short videos and live streaming platforms attracted a large number of college students. Campus Internet celebrities are often concentrated in students from art colleges, and usually become popular for their good looks and talents in music or dance.

But as time slowly passes, more structured MCN organizations begin to select internet celebrities from universities and learn to screen talents from upstream.

It is not limited to recruiting talents with good looks, but prefers to seek content creators with stronger comprehensive qualities.

Mr. Lu once read a report by Kas Data titled “KOL Ecosystem Research”.

The report shows that among the TOP500 accounts with the fastest increase in followers, the categories of appearance, music, emotion, beauty, and dance are all declining.

Because the track itself is crowded and the content lacks innovation.

In other words, art students not only need to be "good-looking", but also need to have complex competitiveness in the increasingly fierce competition.

Therefore, launching campus recruitment, trying to tap talent from upstream, and investing more manpower and financial resources is a key step in planning for the future.

If he doesn't grab it, his competitors will come and grab it sooner or later.

Companies are absolutely sparing no effort in investing time, manpower, capital and other resources in the cultivation of influencers.

The cost for MCN to incubate an internet celebrity is not low.

The cost mainly comes from the allocation of team manpower, including the content team composed of senior directors and editors, the post-production creative team composed of photography, editing and design, as well as business public relations teams such as business, media and channels.

"Will it be useful for us to contact each other?"

"In other words, will people care?"

Liu Zhe was half-believing and half-doubting.

He really wants to make this money.

“As long as you want to go this route, we are the best choice.”

Today, Mr. Lu is the undisputed leader.

Lu Jincheng was playing with his mobile phone with a relaxed look on his face and pressed a button casually.

It seemed like I pressed the wrong button, the sound from the voice bar was directly amplified and jumped out of the microphone.

[Mr. Lu, when will the night teaching room's salary be paid? ]

The voice is sweet and familiar.

The students present suddenly widened their eyes.
