Huayu: You were supposed to be a top star, but you've become capital?

Chapter 105 Preparing for a "Chance Encounter" with Zhang Yiming

Lin Shen smiled but didn't say anything.

Top ten?

He glanced at the numbers on the screen and knew what was going on.

Based on this year's market conditions, the threshold for the top three in the women's clothing category is at least 200 million yuan, while the top ten are indeed around 100 million yuan.

For a team like Guiji to reach the top ten in their first Double Eleven event is already quite impressive.

"Brother Shen," Yang Chaoyue finally calmed down a bit, sat back down on the carpet, and handed over the tablet, "I've compiled some data from the internet these past few days, would you like to hear it?"

Lin Shen nodded.

Yang Chaoyue cleared his throat and began to read: "One month after its release, 'The Lone Warrior' has already surpassed 200 million views across the entire internet."

The combined number of comments across QQ Music, NetEase Cloud Music, and Kugou Music exceeds 500,000.

She paused, then continued, "The key is that this song is incredibly popular. I've been scrolling through Weibo, and I've seen so many ordinary people covering it, and even versions rehearsed by school choirs."

By the way, several fire department official accounts also used this song as background music, and the comments section was full of tributes to the heroes on the front lines.

.

Lin Shen listened without much expression on his face, but felt a little emotional inside.

The song "The Lone Warrior" was sung as a children's song by elementary school students in its previous life, and it probably won't escape that fate in this life either.

But it's good that it can be sung; it's much better than those songs that sink to the bottom as soon as they're released.

He was already very satisfied with the effect the song had achieved.

"How are your Weibo followers?" Lin Shen asked.

Yang Chaoyue flipped through the data, his face beaming: "It increased by 1.7 million, now it's exactly 11.1 million."

Lin Shen nodded, not too surprised.

Since the release of "The Lone Warrior," his fan base has been growing at an accelerated pace. Official endorsement and the song's widespread popularity have brought him not only positive reviews but also substantial attention.

Yang Chaoyue swiped down and suddenly laughed out loud: "Brother Shen, Huayi Brothers are behaving themselves now. All their artists are playing dead; they haven't posted on Weibo for days."

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow: "Oh?"

"Really!" Yang Chaoyue handed over his phone. "Look, Li Chen's latest Weibo post was from last month, and the comments section is already flooded with people asking if he still has any heart-shaped stones in stock."

Lin Shen took it and glanced at it.

The top comment under Li Chen's latest Weibo post is: "Brother Stone, haven't you sent me any stones lately? Could you send me one?"

It received over 200,000 likes.

The second question: "Is the 'Backstabbing Cult' still operating? I'd like to know."

Article 3: "I heard Running Man is evaluating you? Good luck, you must stay! [Funny]"

Lin Shen's lips twitched, and he handed the phone back to Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue described it vividly: "After Li Chen deleted that Weibo post, the official Weibo account of Running Man was flooded with comments from the Forest Sisters."

Every day, people flood the comments section with messages demanding that the "Backstabbing Cult" (a derogatory term for Li Chen) get out of Running Man. The Running Man official team can't do anything about it. It's said that Zhejiang TV (the streaming platform) is evaluating the possibility of Li Chen's continued participation.

Lin Shen's lips curled up slightly after hearing this.

If Running Man really kicks Li Chen out, this heart-shaped stone wholesaler will completely lose his pension.

Without Running Man, what can he rely on to maintain his popularity? Those heart-shaped stones?

"And the cast and crew of 'Mr. Six'," Yang Chaoyue said, suppressing a laugh. "Now, whenever they post leaked videos, people in the comments section make sarcastic remarks, asking if Director Feng has learned to do math yet."

Feng Xiaogang's Weibo hasn't been updated for a month, and neither has Guan Hu's; they only retweet without commenting.

Lin Shen smiled.

This generation of netizens truly holds grudges.

"And there's more," Yang Chaoyue said, swiping his phone, "Now, whenever there's news related to Huayi, Forest Sisters rush to comment, appearing instantly."

Lin Shen nodded, then suddenly remembered something: "Has Huayi's stock price dropped quite a bit?"

Yang Chaoyue paused for a moment, then flipped through the pages and quickly found: "It's dropped quite a bit. I saw on a financial news account that it's fallen by almost ten percent in the past two weeks. The two Wangs must be heartbroken."

Lin Shen's smile deepened after hearing this. A falling stock price is more distressing than any public opinion.

After reading the news from the internet, Yang Chaoyue took out a gold-embossed invitation from the side and handed it over: "By the way, Brother Shen, there's another event. Bazaar Men invites you to some kind of awards ceremony at the end of this month."

Lin Shen took it and glanced at it.

The cover features a long string of words: "Harper's Bazaar Men and Mercedes-Benz jointly present the 'Peak of Connectivity and Business Transformation' awards ceremony for the most successful and influential individuals of the year."

Lin Shen stared at the string of words for a long time, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

"That's a really long name."

Yang Chaoyue laughed from the side, "Yeah, I had to read it several times before I could pronounce it smoothly. They even gave you an award, Brother Shen, for being an absolutely captivating star."

Lin Shen opened the invitation, which listed the award names. His own name was prominently listed in the "Absolutely Attractive Star" category.

Yang Chaoyue leaned over to take a look: "Brother Shen, this looks like a big prize!"

Lin Shen nodded without saying anything; of course he knew about this award.

This wasn't just any ordinary pork distribution; it was the kind where it was divided among ten people. Feng Shaofeng, Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao—plus myself—enough for two tables of mahjong.

"It's not very valuable." Lin Shen tossed the invitation onto the coffee table.

Yang Chaoyue blinked: "It's an award after all, and the Bazaar event is attended by big names, right?"

Lin Shen glanced at her but did not refute her.

Of course I'll go, not because of the celebrities, not because of this useless award, and not because of any fashion gala, but because—

There will be one person at this event.

Zhang Yiming.

This name is still relatively unfamiliar to most people at this time, but his products have already begun to emerge, namely Toutiao and Neihan Duanzi.

But in a few years, this name will become a top influencer in the internet industry, and his company will become a giant that can rival AT (Alibaba and Tencent).

His products will become a symbol of an era.

Lin Shen remembered that among the news articles he had seen before his transmigration, Zhang Yiming had appeared at such events very few times.

This Bazaar event is a rare opportunity.

He needed a natural occasion to "bump into" this person.

"Also, Brother Shen," Yang Chaoyue continued, unaware of what he was thinking, "Gucci also sent a message saying that the suit they made for you will be delivered soon. Jaeger-LeCoultre is also asking what you'll be wearing to their event at the end of the month; they want to prepare a suitable watch in advance."

Lin Shen nodded: "Mm."

Yang Chaoyue flipped through the memo and went over the itinerary for the next few days again.

Lin Shen listened while taking a sip of tea.

We need to prepare properly for the event at the end of the month.

Let's see how we can get in touch with this future internet mogul.

Just then, my phone vibrated again.

This time it's Chen Zhixi.

Lin Shen answered the phone, and Chen Zhixi's crisp voice came from the other end: "Lin Shen, you're still awake, aren't you?"

"No, not yet." Lin Shen smiled. "Did Sister Xi call so late to congratulate me?"

"Congratulations for nothing, I'm just here to watch the show." Chen Zhixi chuckled twice. "How are the track sales today? Have the data come out yet?"

Lin Shen glanced at the screen: "It's already surpassed 100 million."

Chen Zhixi was silent for a long time, then clicked his tongue and said, "You're really good. This brand is much better than I expected."

Lin Shen smiled and said, "I was lucky."

"Come on," Chen Zhixi said. "Luck is also a skill. Alright, I won't bother you counting your money anymore."

I just wanted to remind you that I'll be attending the Bazaar event at the end of the month, so we can discuss the remaining projects in person then.

Lin Shen raised an eyebrow: "Sister Xi is going too?"

"Yeah, I've been invited as a guest," Chen Zhixi said casually. "See you then. What kind of situation is it to have to come to the event to catch you if I don't want to see you?"

"Haha, okay, we'll talk when we meet."
