Chapter 231

Wang Wang Livestream has truly started to show its power.

After concluding the charity auction, Wang Wang Livestream used its official blog account to express its gratitude to the celebrities who participated in this charity auction.

At the same time, it also focused on thanking Sanyuetian for their support; they would definitely strive to implement this large sum of charitable funds.

Netizens commented sharply: 【Wang Wang, you've finally learned to hold onto Sanyuetian's thighs!】

Netizens are all people who love to watch the fun, and at such a high-profile moment for Wang Wang, they didn't forget to continue tagging Cat Claw.

【@Cat Claw Livestream, your main pillar is about to be poached by Wang Wang, do you know?】

Cat Claw Livestream over here...

Of course they know.

The more Wang Wang shows off today, the more enthusiastically netizens tag Cat Claw.

This made the staff specifically maintaining the Cat Claw blog think that Cat Claw had hit the trending search, but when they opened it, they found it wasn't that at all.

The staff immediately reported these messages to the senior management, and it was quickly compiled into a report and placed on Zhong Wenkun's desk.

Zhong Wenkun was attending a company meeting, and the meeting was just about to end when a senior executive suddenly said:

"I received a report that Wang Wang Livestream has parachuted to the number one trending search in the last few hours because they held a public welfare charity auction, and Sanyuetian contributed a jade God of Wealth that was auctioned for a sky-high price of 75 million; the whole internet is boiling.

Most importantly, the artist we are focusing on collaborating with—Seeing Jin Li—also participated in this auction."

When the senior executive mentioned this, their expression was extremely solemn.

Cat Claw and Wang Wang are like fire and water; Cat Claw Livestream had finally managed to get going, but they didn't expect their opponent to also start developing and make up for their own shortcomings.

This senior executive looked at Zhong Wenkun and said: "Should we launch a counterattack?"

Zhong Wenkun hadn't returned to his office, so he hadn't seen the report, but Sui Lingfang had told him about the charity auction.

He had thought about whether to quickly organize an auction at the time, but he soon dismissed the idea.

Zhong Wenkun said: "A few days ago, Seeing Jin Li's manager told me that Seeing Jin Li would participate in the charity auction held by Wang Wang Livestream, and I also thought about whether to follow suit.

But think carefully: in a short period of time, can we gather over thirty first-tier celebrities to participate in an auction?

First of all, in terms of the number of celebrities, it's very difficult for us to gather them; without certain benefits, celebrities won't give Cat Claw face.

Not to mention that Wang Wang has now brought out an auction item like the jade God of Wealth; even if we announce we're holding one now, can we get celebrities to bring out such auction items?

With Wang Wang Livestream's auction as a pearl before us, if we can't surpass them, then no matter what we do, we won't be able to compare to them."

Zhong Wenkun spread his hands: "Since it's destined that we can't compare, it's better not to compare."

Other senior executives said somewhat unwillingly: "So we're just giving up like this?"

Zhong Wenkun smiled and said meaningfully: "Seeing Jin Li is still our key partner; the connection between Wang Wang Livestream and Sanyuetian isn't as deep as ours with Seeing Jin Li.

Wang Wang could pull Seeing Jin Li to participate this time, and next time we have any activities, we can also pull Sanyuetian to participate.

Besides, we need to hurry up and build the 'Learning Universe' column; this is the most important thing, as it will affect our company's direction for the next three years."

Other senior executives said regretfully: "It seems that's all we can do."

If Cat Claw hadn't been busy with other things recently, could Wang Wang have held this charity auction so smoothly?

If they had known the news the first time, they would definitely have competed with Wang Wang.

Wang Wang had already finalized the celebrities, and they only received the news then; it was already too late.

After the meeting, Zhong Wenkun returned to his office and saw the report on the desk.

He immediately opened it and couldn't help but tsk lightly.

"Wang Wang really got lucky! Did they save Sanyuetian in their past life, for them to actually bring out a sky-high jade God of Wealth to auction on this platform in this life?"

With such an auction item, in the future, whenever they hold an auction, netizens will definitely compare it.

An employee knocked on the door and walked in, handing Zhong Wenkun a list of video creators willing to cooperate.

Zhong Wenkun asked: "When you called them, what were their attitudes and reactions?"

The employee said: "They were all very positive and very interested in the 'Learning Universe' column launched by Cat Claw.

It's just that some creators said their videos are tied to the platform and don't have the copyright to be posted elsewhere, but there are also creators who said they are willing to specifically make some videos to put here on Cat Claw."

Zhong Wenkun immediately said: "You follow up on this, communicate with each interested creator individually, and tell them that video copyright is not a problem.

Currently, the video industry has already torn up the bullying clauses; creators can post their videos on whichever platform they want, and platforms don't dare to sue.

If any platform warns creators with this monopoly clause, Cat Claw will fight the lawsuit for them and protect their rights!"

The employee immediately agreed.

Zhong Wenkun thought for a moment and continued: "Promote it quickly; strive to win over all the creators before the New Year, unite them to release a video about joining Cat Claw, and we'll make a big splash."

Employee: "Okay, President Zhong!"

For industry insiders, that platform monopoly clause is a bullying contract, specifically used to scare laymen.

A few years ago, some platforms were too excessive with their monopolies and were jointly sued by some big creators, causing a huge stir.

And that lawsuit was won by the creators.

Since then, the so-called monopoly agreements that say you can only post on this platform, or priority agreements, are all just empty talk.

Now even merchants can freely choose to join Ele. me or Meituan, or join both—haven't you seen the platforms not daring to say a word?

Still thinking about only being able to choose one of two?

I'm afraid that's deliberately provoking the national team to come and check the water meter!

As the internet era becomes more and more developed, the rules and regulations on the internet will also become more and more stringent; the influence of those big creators will expand to the entire internet, rather than being limited to small troubles on a certain platform.

Of course, if a creator has a separate signing agreement with a website, such as some "Traffic Support Talent Cultivation Plan," and has truly received promotion given by the platform, that's another story.

The creators he selected are all big creators with great fame, who have long had the qualifications to negotiate with websites.

At the same time, Duomi Cosmetics saw the trending search and focused on Seeing Jin Li.

Sanyuetian being in the spotlight is normal; when is this top-tier boy band not in the spotlight?

But Seeing Jin Li, who was able to tear off a spot from the top ten trending searches, is also very amazing.

Her popularity has already surpassed Li Xunfang's!

President Nan of Duomi Cosmetics received a report from her subordinate, scrolled through the trending searches, and found that netizens' favorability toward Seeing Jin Li was increasing day by day, and her popularity could actually squeeze into the trending search circle occupied by Sanyuetian.

President Nan's mind moved, and she called the product department, asking: "Has the New Year gift box you're about to launch been finalized?"

"It's just been finalized, President Nan; we're mainly pushing the concealer gift box, paired with the popular thumb puff single item."

President Nan asked: "What about the marketing plan?"

"That has to be asked of the marketing department; we don't care about that."

So President Nan called the marketing department again to listen to the plan they provided.

After listening for a long while, President Nan found that the marketing plan weakened Seeing Jin Li's presence.

At the same time, the thumb puffs used in the concealer gift box were not Seeing Jin Li's thumb puffs, which avoided secondary revenue sharing with Seeing Jin Li.

In the past, this actually wouldn't have been much of a problem.

Duomi Cosmetics has always been steady and solid; in the past, they didn't even need celebrity promotion or endorsements. She didn't expect that after finding Seeing Jin Li last year, the brand suddenly exploded in popularity, bringing huge marketing revenue, and netizens were desperately blowing rainbow farts for Duomi on the internet.

This caused the entire company to become somewhat restless.

Even President Nan sometimes thought it was because the quality of their Duomi Cosmetics was good that they could explode in reputation, and Seeing Jin Li just happened to be there at the right time.

But when summarizing at the beginning of this year, the company's senior management analyzed the data, and the person who brought such a huge change to Duomi was actually Seeing Jin Li.

Last year's explosion in company orders was entirely due to Seeing Jin Li's promotion and publicity.

Especially the Seeing Jin Li thumb puff single item she endorsed, which became the sales king single item of last year.

So at the beginning of the year, the senior management had already determined the general direction: continue to hug Seeing Jin Li's thigh and strive to launch 1-3 co-branded items and film a few more advertisements.

However, direction is direction; now everyone is thinking about the New Year, their minds are restless, and they didn't tell the people below them to cooperate more with Seeing Jin Li, leading various departments to still be trying to shake off Seeing Jin Li, not wanting to borrow her influence.

Just afraid that the company will continue to spend money on her.

President Nan slapped her thigh, "No, what you're doing is wrong!"

She hung up the phone, immediately ran to the publicity department, and demanded to change the thumb puffs to Seeing Jin Li's specific style, and for all gift boxes that could be associated with Seeing Jin Li, they should be associated with Seeing Jin Li.

Now is not the time to get rid of Seeing Jin Li, but to strive to rub off on Seeing Jin Li's popularity!

Who knows how many years Seeing Jin Li can be popular?

While she's popular, hurry up and rub off on her!

Not only that, President Nan also called Sui Lingfang, made an appointment to meet at Chenxi Entertainment tomorrow afternoon, and wanted to re-sign an exclusive sales revenue sharing agreement with Seeing Jin Li.

Sui Lingfang initially thought President Nan wanted to weaken Seeing Jin Li, which is also normal—which company doesn't do things like killing the donkey after the millstone is used? So she asked: "Is it to lower the revenue sharing?"

President Nan was startled, "Lower? No, no, no, we want to carry out more cooperation with Seeing Jin Li and will show more sincerity, hoping Seeing Jin Li can give us a chance."

This time it was Sui Lingfang's turn to be surprised.

She glanced at her phone; can people actually change their nature?

Sui Lingfang became slightly more enthusiastic: "Okay, President Nan, how about we set it for tomorrow evening."

President Nan: "Can't we make it earlier?"

Sui Lingfang smiled and said: "I won't hide it from you, President Nan; three advertisers just actively approached me, all wanting to talk about Seeing Jin Li's co-branded items. I really don't have enough time!"

A sense of crisis immediately rose in President Nan's heart, and she said quickly: "Then let's make it evening; President Fang, you must come!"

Sui Lingfang: "Definitely, definitely!"

While the negotiations for Seeing Jin Li's new advertising endorsement were upgrading, the "Assassination" film crew was also gradually getting on the right track.

The crew had adapted to the filming rhythm of Jian Liting, the female lead, and every time she filmed, it would attract a crowd of people to watch.

Anyone with eyes could feel that Jian Liting alone had pulled her acting skills to a very high level, not on the same level as the other actors.

And recently, Jian Liting's "out of character" state had improved a bit, but the recent plot wasn't that explosive and was relatively flat.

This part of the flatness was because the female lead, Li Feifei, specifically went to find Gu Xiude and desperately tried to please him, finally making Gu Xiude have a trace of interest in her, making those people not dare to be cruel to Li Feifei.

Li Feifei was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief from the tense campus atmosphere and live a flat and comfortable life.

Gu Cheng noticed that when Jian Liting was filming, there were often three people around her: one was her manager, another was her assistant, and there was one more person of unknown identity.

Looking at it, the assistant was quite respectful to that stranger.

Gu Cheng asked Xiao Cheng to go and find out.

Xiao Cheng lived up to expectations and soon found out, running over to say: "That's Jian Jie's private psychologist!"

When Gu Cheng heard this, he was resting in the hotel, having just finished practicing a dance.

In two days, he would be rushing to an engagement with the team and needed to be on stage, but his teammates weren't around, so he could only practice by himself.

If it weren't for the fact that he was very tired and the crew was very busy, Sanyuetian had originally planned to come over collectively to find Gu Cheng and practice dancing with him.

When the people aren't all there, practicing dancing is always lackluster.

Gu Cheng opened a bottle of mineral water and drank, letting the sweat on his forehead slowly drip down his cheek into his collarbone. Seeing Jin Li happened to video call him at this moment, and as soon as it connected, a surge of vigorous hormones hit him.

Seeing Jin Li blinked her eyes.

What kind of human beauty is this?

There's a kind of vibrant, human-mechanical aesthetic.

Gu Cheng also blinked at her, noticing she was a bit dazed, with subtle smiles in her eyes, and turned to look at Xiao Cheng: "Psychologist?"

Xiao Cheng didn't know Gu Cheng was on a video call and said quickly: "Yes, it's said that because Jian Jie is under too much pressure, she asked the psychologist to come over; in the past, when she was filming sometimes, she would also call the psychologist."

Gu Cheng asked: "Did the doctor say how Jian Liting's condition is?"

Xiao Cheng shook his head: "Didn't say, but when I went to ask, their expression was quite normal."

Gu Cheng said lightly: "After all, they are a professional."

Xiao Cheng left the room, and Seeing Jin Li then spoke: "Jian Liting called a psychologist? It seems the pressure "Assassination" brought her is very great; she's too immersed in her role."

Gu Cheng: "I've had many scenes with her recently, and I feel she hasn't exerted her strength; she often avoids me, and the director has to reshoot many times."

On the film crew, everyone thinks it's normal to pass after filming three or four times.

But for Jian Liting, it's not normal.

She is the type of person who can pass after filming once or twice for very difficult scenes, so for simple scenes, she should pass even more easily.

But recently, she has had more NGs for simple scenes instead.

The reason Gu Cheng pays attention to her is that he felt a long time ago that Jian Liting's mental state had some problems, and he was afraid this actor would cause some trouble again.

Seeing Jin Li comforted him: "With a psychologist involved, it should be fine."

Gu Cheng's expression was solemn: "I hope so."

What many people didn't expect was that the first thorny issue encountered when the crew resumed filming was actually related to the original female lead actress—Li Xiue.

Half a month after Li Xiue ran away, she actually ran back to the crew again!
