Internet moguls are being held hostage by the entertainment system!

The value of Zhang Long's words, as stated in Chapter 191, is still increasing.

The dust kicked up by the horses' hooves was sent flying even higher.

A tall, black horse with only its four white hooves, its body glossy black, galloped past the archery range of the horse farm like a black lightning bolt.

The person sitting on the horse did not hold the reins with both hands. Instead, he drew his bow to its full extent, aimed sideways, and finally shot with a "thud," the arrow hitting the outer circle of a fixed target 40 meters in front of him.

Counting the arrows on the target, there were about a dozen, all of which landed on the outer circle, with none hitting the center.

After the horse ran to one corner of the training ground, it automatically reduced its speed.

Chen Xiu held a bow in one hand and the reins in the other, turning the horse he called "Four-Hoofed Snow" around. He then patted the horse's neck, signaling it to continue charging.

Once again, Chen Xiu drew his bow to its fullest extent, and this time his aim was even closer to the center of the circle...

"Clap clap clap!"

The applause came from the other end of the archery practice range, at the entrance, where none other than Wang Sicong stood.

"Wow! Brother Xiu, your skills are almost on par with professional athletes!"

Feeling that today's practice was sufficient, Chen Xiu controlled his horse's speed and slowly approached the entrance.

Dismounting, Chen Xiu handed the reins and bow to the approaching instructor and walked up to Wang Sicong: "How long have you been here?"

"Just 10 minutes ago..."

"Just say what's on your mind! You've been bothering me for a week, I'm thinking of blocking you."

"This matter can't be explained in just a few words. Why don't we sit down and talk about it?"

Chen Xiu glanced at Young Master Wang, nodded slightly, and then walked towards the rest area first.

Upon arriving at the rest area, Chen Xiu saw her assistant, Luo Shikan, approaching from a distance with towels and water.

Chen Xiu quickly approached, taking off the thumb ring she wore while practicing archery and handing it to Luo Shikan, while also taking the water and towel from his hands.

"Xiao Luo, has anyone called me?"

"Mr. Wei made a call, and I called back using my own phone. He said to call me back as soon as you're done with your work."

Chen Xiu turned to look at Wang Sicong following behind her and felt that it would be better to get rid of this troublemaker first before dealing with her work.

After taking the phone from Luo Shikan, Chen Xiu gave him some instructions and then led Wang Sicong to an empty table to sit down.

After sitting down, Chen Xiu said without any preamble, "What is it? Just say it!"

"Hey, it's nothing serious."

Wang Sicong chuckled and said, "Last month, the Douyin live-stream variety show you put on was really exciting. I was greatly inspired by it, so I had the people from Panda TV contact Mango Entertainment and Tencent Video to also host a live-stream variety show."

"Is your variety show supposed to be about idol development?"

"Have you looked into it?"

"You've been looking for me for a week, I need to find out what exactly happened, right?"

Chen Xiu stated confidently that if Wang Sicong's actions were too outrageous, he wouldn't even bother to meet with him.

"As far as I know, your variety show is already in the later stages of filming, so why are you still contacting me?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Sicong's smile instantly became ingratiating.

"I'm worried that this variety show won't get enough viewers, so I wanted to ask you to take a look and see where it needs improvement..."

"Are you trying to piggyback on my traffic?"

Chen Xiu's blunt words froze Wang Sicong's smile on his face.

He smacked his lips sheepishly: "It's not entirely about riding the wave of traffic; there are other reasons too..."

"Why don't you go find Baili Tusu? Aren't you quite familiar with him and that guy from Maple Leaf Country?"

"Everyone's saying that their popularity isn't as high as yours! I was originally planning to have Angelababy and Jing Boran make cameo appearances after the movie 'Love O2O' was released, but it flopped at the box office."

Wang Sicong shrugged, indicating that he was also helpless.

He originally planned to take advantage of the release of the movie version of "Love O2O" to promote his variety show and copy Chen Xiu's plan to drive traffic to his Panda TV.

Unexpectedly, the movie version of "Love O2O" performed so poorly, with box office revenue of less than 50 million yuan on its opening day and terrible reviews, clearly destined to flop.

Knowing that Wang Sicong couldn't be relied upon for the movie version of "Love O2O", he could only continue to invite Chen Xiu, hoping to ride the wave of popularity.

Having understood his plan, Chen Xiu shook her head without hesitation: "I'm not going!"

"why?"

"I don't want to go! I don't want to waste my time, I don't want to be on variety shows, do I need any other reason?"

"Hey, I've already called you brother, so just do me a favor."

Wang Sicong approached Chen Xiu, trying to use their limited relationship to invite her.

Chen Xiu glanced at him, feeling that a direct refusal would be acceptable.

However, since I've called him "elder nephew" several times, I should still put in a little effort to make sure we both save face!
"I really don't want to help you!"

"Huh?!" Wang Sicong looked at Chen Xiu with a blank expression, thinking: Even if he wanted to refuse, shouldn't he say, "It's not that I don't want to help you, it's just because of this and that?"

Chen Xiu ignored his reaction and continued, "I don't want to help you because even if I do, it won't meet your expectations. Rather than that, I'd rather you do this content marketing yourself."

Why do you feel that even if you help, it won't meet my expectations?

"You're asking me for help because you just want to replicate the success of Douyin's traffic generation last month, so that Panda TV can get a new batch of traffic, right?"

"Correct!"

Wang Sicong nodded. With Chen Xiu setting an example, he didn't feel there was anything wrong with personally taking charge of the company's marketing and traffic generation.

"The reason why Douyin's traffic-driving strategy was successful is mainly because the drama 'Love O2O' became popular, which made me, the male lead, popular as well. In addition, Douyin's newly launched bullet screen function is very popular among users, which has formed a complete positive cycle."

"The most important point here is that Douyin placed its advertisements on 'Love O2O' from the very beginning. Viewers received Douyin's message while watching the show. Both I and the live stream simply gave users a light push."

"Your Panda TV doesn't offer any particularly outstanding features compared to other live streaming apps. Even if you find all the top streamers, the results will likely still be disappointing."

After explaining this unique and unreplicable logic, Chen Xiu offered advice based on the specific circumstances.

"If you really want to drive traffic to Panda TV, you should focus on making good variety show content. As long as the content can become popular and break out of its niche, traffic will come to you on its own!"

"Is this what they call 'content is king'?"

Wang Sicong's pursed lips suggested a hint of disapproval.

He is well aware of the importance of content, but creating viral content is not so easy.

Instead of working hard to create content with no guarantee of success, inviting celebrities with their own fanbase to boost the show is obviously much easier, a view shared by many film and television professionals.

Seeing Wang Dashao's expression, Chen Xiu felt she had said enough and stopped discussing the topic.

"I've already given you my advice; whether you listen to it or not is up to you."

"Tsk."

Wang Sicong looked at Chen Xiu with a troubled expression, clearly unwilling to give up. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly thought of another indirect way to achieve his goal.

"If you don't need to go to the recording studio, but we need your cooperation a little, is that okay?"

"Could you please explain yourself more clearly?"

Not understanding the situation, Chen Xiu naturally wouldn't rashly agree to anything.

After a moment's hesitation, Wang Sicong said simply, "I'd like to have your voice appear on the show by making a phone call, just for a few minutes, to create a little buzz. That shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiu hesitated.

To be honest, he didn't think Wang Sicong could produce any outstanding variety shows.

This young master probably doesn't have any intention of creating good content. He probably created a live-stream variety show in an attempt to replicate Douyin's success in attracting traffic while the show is still popular.

If it were anyone else making such a request, Chen Xiu would at most just say the refusal in a nicer way.

However, Wang Sicong and he had some connections. He was about to collaborate with Wanda Pictures on "Detective Chinatown 2," so making a phone call to say a few words and help out was not a big problem.

"OK, just let me know in advance before recording."

"With your words, everything is settled!"

Wang Sicong clapped his hands happily, pleased that he had managed to invite Chen Xiu to his variety show.

Feeling that the conversation was over, Chen Xiu silently took out her phone, preparing to call Wei Feng back.

When the screen lit up, the first thing he saw was the explanation message sent by Wei Feng.

"Boss, Wang Baoqiang is in trouble. Preparations for 'Detective Chinatown 2' may have to be put on hold. He and his wife..."

Looking at the message, Chen Xiu slowly frowned and pursed her lips.

This strange expression made Wang Sicong unconsciously wonder: Why does he look so pale? Did his girlfriend dump him? No, does he even have a girlfriend?
Seeing his increasingly strange expression, Wang Sicong couldn't help but ask, "Brother Xiu, what's wrong?"

"Hmm, have you ever had the experience of giving a lot to a girl and then being betrayed by her?" Chen Xiu asked vaguely.

Wang Baoqiang couldn't keep this a secret any longer. When Wei Feng called, he had already made an official announcement on Weibo. Wei Feng has already made contact with the right people. As the most valuable asset of Datang Pictures, the "Detective Chinatown" IP cannot afford to have any problems with its main actors...

Upon hearing Chen Xiu's words, Wang Sicong was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes slowly lit up.

"I wasn't really invested in those girlfriends. We were just together to have fun. I could never actually marry them, so there's no question of betrayal... You broke up with your girlfriend?"

Do you think I'm that kind of person?

Wang Sicong carefully examined Chen Xiu and concluded, "You're probably the kind of person who won't be affected by a breakup. So why did you make that face just now?"

"I'm just a little speechless."

Chen Xiu shook her head, her expression somewhat wistful.

In his previous life, he only knew the general outline of Wang Baoqiang's affairs, but now that he was an insider, his feelings were instantly different.

The value of Jackie Chan's words is still increasing...
