Chapter 411 The Cruel Truth!
Xing Le Square is quite famous in the Suzhou area, with a very high flow of people.
Otherwise, no formal wear brands would be able to set up shop here.
Formal wear brands require a greater flow of people than ordinary clothing brands.
Although this time of day isn't peak evening hours, there are still quite a few people around.
A large number of people gather in the long corridor outside the square's main gate.
These people then saw a large number of people flood into the corridor and begin setting things up.
When you see a camera set up, everyone knows that it must be some internet celebrity filming a video.
This has attracted a lot of attention.
After all, short video platforms like Douyin are becoming increasingly popular, and people will definitely pay attention if they encounter a big internet celebrity.
"It's Chen Jincheng! With that new Cheng girl!" a surprised voice suddenly rang out.
This has attracted a lot of attention.
Chen Jincheng is indeed an internet celebrity, but he is also a big boss now. Even if many people dislike internet celebrities, they have no right to dislike Chen Jincheng. On the contrary, they will pay attention to him.
Because he is now on par with Lei Jun to a certain extent.
Didn't netizens used to call him the patriarch?
In other words, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he is the ancestor of all internet celebrities. I suppose many internet celebrities nowadays hope to become like Chen Jincheng.
So, with this shout, everyone around looked over.
Sure enough, Chen Jincheng came in.
And then there's the new Cheng Girl, who already has a considerable online following.
Moreover, when Chu Xiaoqing entered wearing a formal dress and lifting her skirt, many men exclaimed in surprise. They could clearly see her perfect back and the allure of her buttocks.
If even Chen Jincheng found this style tempting, one can only imagine how all the other men found it.
They didn't have Chen Jincheng's extensive appreciation for beauty, so Chu Xiaoqing's outfit had a much greater impact on them.
Some people even couldn't help but whistle, making the scene very lively.
Fortunately, Lao Chen brought security personnel with him, which allowed them to maintain a safe distance and take photos.
As for the square, Qin Ke has already made arrangements and paid the filming fee, so the square will cooperate.
Moreover, upon learning that Chen Jincheng was coming to film a video, a person in charge from the square hurriedly arrived and greeted Chen Jincheng warmly, saying, "Mr. Chen, welcome to Xing Le Square to film a video."
He did this with a purpose, of course. He had already arranged for people to film it, and when the video was posted online, it would naturally generate a lot of buzz for the square.
Chen Jincheng is now a walking source of attention; just by riding on his coattails, he can reap huge rewards.
"Hello," Chen Jincheng replied with a smile, shaking hands with the other person.
After all, the filming took place on the other side's territory.
This handshake also had its advantages; the other party immediately called security, which temporarily cordoned off the entire corridor, forcing onlookers to keep their distance.
"Brother Cheng, I'm your fan, look over here!" someone shouted loudly while holding up their phone.
Regardless of whether the other person was a fan or not, Chen Jincheng smiled at them, waved, and asked them to film a video.
The other person's purpose is simply to take a picture of him and then post it on social media or in a short video, which would also benefit him. Therefore, he would still give the other person a wave.
If the other person is truly a fan, then they've definitely become a die-hard fan.
Soon, Old Chen's side was also ready, and it was time to start filming.
Old Chen directly instructed Chu Xiaoqing: "Xiaoqing, in a moment, you will run from this position, holding up your dress, towards that direction. When you have run three steps, put down the hem, turn around, and then sweep your hair to your chest, completely exposing your back."
"Okay." Chu Xiaoqing nodded and began filming as instructed by Old Chen.
It was the girl's first time filming a video, so she was a little unaccustomed to it and had to film it several times before she got it right.
Chen Jincheng immediately had Lao Chen send the video footage to Xiao Hai so that they could edit and add music.
He then took his people back to the Qingyun flagship store and had Chu Xiaoqing change all her clothes back.
Qin Ke immediately had the dress wrapped up, and also had his employees wrap up three other dresses in Chu Xiaoqing's size, then packed them all together and sent them to Chu Xiaoqing.
Chu Xiaoqing carried the four dresses, feeling very pleased with herself.
A dress costing over ten thousand or even forty thousand yuan was given away as if it were free, all because she became a "Cheng Girl".
This also makes her even more proud of her current status.
Not long after, Xiao Hai sent over the edited video, and Chen Jincheng also showed the video to Qin Ke.
Qin Ke had been curious for a while, and immediately checked it out, where he saw the finished video of that one second of growth.
He was also very surprised to see Chu Xiaoqing grow from a little girl into a beautiful woman in her twenties in an instant. This was not achieved with special effects at all, but only with the effect of camera movement, yet it was so magical.
Moreover, with the video filter, the girls look so beautiful in their dresses.
With Chen Jincheng's popularity, this video is sure to go viral.
Chen Jincheng was quite satisfied with the video. In another world, the video had received over 1700 million likes. It started as a photographer filming a girl.
The girl posted it again, and it got nearly 600 million likes. She also gained more than 300 million followers, eventually reaching nearly 500 million followers.
Chu Xiaoqing's back paired with the dress is absolutely classic, and with his popularity, the effect won't be any less than that of the girl from my previous life.
Moreover, no photographer shared in the popularity of this video; it all belonged to her alone.
"As expected of Mr. Chen," Qin Ke finally couldn't help but praise, "This video is very artistic, and it's sure to go viral."
Chen Jincheng smiled and said, "Then the video is settled."
"Okay." Qin Ke nodded.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng also made a call to Sister Hong. As soon as the call connected, Sister Hong's voice came through: "Boss, is the video ready? Douyin has also approved the video for selling products. I've already spoken with Douyin. You can just upload the video and the link will be added automatically."
"Hmm." Chen Jincheng had taken over Chu Xiaoqing's Douyin account himself and then uploaded this video.
As soon as the video was uploaded, the video-based product promotion link was added by Douyin.
This is the current speed of Second Generation Star. As long as Sister Hong personally gives the order, Douyin will have someone handle it, and they'll even give it a boost.
With the upload of videos from those onlookers, more and more people online have come to pay attention to Chu Xiaoqing, the "Cheng Girl".
So, as soon as she uploaded the video, it was seen by more people, and the number of likes increased at an almost unbelievable speed.
Qin Ke had been following the video closely since it was uploaded, as the product sales were directly related to him; each dress sold for 12,000 yuan represented a profit.
But after a short while, he was filled with surprise.
Qingyun herself runs a media account, so she knows how difficult it is to capture Douyin data. Each of their videos only gets a few thousand views, rarely tens of thousands. But what did he see now?
The video received over 100,000 likes within minutes of being uploaded.
Half an hour later, it actually surpassed 50 likes.
50 in half an hour, that's terrifying.
In the past, when they ran their media accounts, even if they hoped their videos would go viral, they never imagined they would become this popular.
Now he finally understands how true Chen Jincheng's statement was: "No one in Douyin can shoot videos as well as Chen Jincheng."
The number of comments also increased rapidly, quickly reaching over 100,000.
"As expected of Chen Jincheng, the girl has grown up in an instant. I thought Mushroom had become a hallucinogen."
"Seriously, at first I thought it was a little girl, then I was dumbfounded, it turned out to be a technical expert."
"To achieve this level of skill without relying on special effects is truly impressive."
"Not only is the girl beautiful, but the dress is also quite nice."
"This elegant dress is very beautiful; I've already placed my order."
"I also placed an order; the company is having a banquet next month."
"..."
Qin Ke was very happy to see these comments.
This indicates that someone has appreciated their dress and placed an order.
When an hour had passed, Qin Ke discovered that the video had already received over 100 million likes. If this trend continued, wouldn't it reach 2 to 3000 million likes once the video's traffic was blocked and the data stopped growing?
This data terrified netizens in the comments section, who couldn't help but exclaim in astonishment:
"Only Chan Kam-ching could film such terrifying data."
"There are quite a few videos with high likes from Dou Yin, but the vast majority of them were filmed by Chen Jincheng."
"Chen Jincheng is indeed the best at making videos; I have to admit that."
"..."
Qin Ke completely agreed with these words. At that moment, he also received a phone call.
It's the number of the sales manager at the company.
Upon answering the call, a report came through: "President Qin, we sold 4 dresses in just one hour."
"4 pieces, haha, I knew it was a windfall!" Qin Ke couldn't help but laugh out loud.
4 dresses seem like a small number based on the data.
But this is a mid-to-high-end formal suit, unlike ordinary clothes, and it sells for 12000 yuan.
In other words, these 4 items already amount to 4.8 million.
With a profit margin of around 50%, that's 2.4 million. Even if we give Second Star a 5% discount, it's still a considerable amount.
The key is that it's only been an hour.
So what else could this be but a windfall of wealth?
Honestly, although he knew that Chen Jincheng's videos promoting products for girls would generate a lot of sales, he never expected that the sales figures in just one hour would be so terrifying.
This way, he will have enough funds to deal with the Christian brand later, and he will give them a surprise.
Chu Xiaoqing's sales data quickly climbed the total sales chart for shopping cart sales, and within an hour, she soared to the top of the weekly chart.
With a total sales volume of 4.8 million, it ranked first, indicating that there were no particularly outstanding figures driving sales this week.
After all, with the development of Douyin shopping carts to this point, there are already several people who are good at video sales who can achieve this level of data.
Chu Xiaoqing herself was also looking at the data.
Although her commission from this video sales wasn't much, with the current data, she'll eventually be able to take a certain amount. So it won't be her envying her sister anymore; it will be her sister envying her.
This made her instinctively hug Chen Jincheng's arm, her eyes watering; she wanted him to teach her songs.
Christine's domestic branch.
Tina, the person in charge, asked her assistant Hu Xin to keep an eye on Qingyun's actions. Hu Xin naturally saw the sales data from the video immediately.
This filled her with emotion.
He truly lives up to his reputation as Chan Kam-Ching.
A video was filmed to promote the product, and Qingyun achieved such sales figures.
This will surely scare Qingyun. If she gets money later, she'll probably target Christine very much.
As for Olsen and Elizabeth advertising for them, it's useless. After all, how many Hollywood stars has the headquarters hired? And no dress has ever sold so many in just one hour after being launched in China.
But this is for the best. Since her boss doesn't respect Chen Jincheng, she should suffer a loss.
That way, the other party will realize that they can't use the same methods as abroad in China.
To adapt to the domestic situation, we still need to utilize domestic talent like them.
When Hu Xin entered Tina's office, Tina was having a video call with headquarters to discuss the sales time of the new dress.
When Hu Xin came in, she greeted her with a smile and asked, "Xin, what's the matter?"
Hu Xin reported, "Ms. Tina, you asked me to pay attention to Qingyun's actions, but their advertising video has been released."
"What?" Tina couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this, teasing, "Has their company gone mad? How long has it been? What kind of effect can an advertisement produced in such a short time have? Do you know how long it takes for our Christine brand to shoot an advertisement?"
"It takes a whole month of careful polishing and refining to achieve the best effect, but now the other party has produced an advertisement in such a short time and is planning to compete with us. What do they take us for?"
"Forget it, there's no need to worry about this kind of company. Once the dress ad featuring Olsen is released, they'll know what international style is. We Western countries really should learn from your country in this regard."
"Therefore, most luxury clothing comes from our region, and that's the difference."
Looking at her boss's confident demeanor, Hu Xin asked, "Ms. Tina, after the advertisement shot by Olson goes online, will it be possible for our dresses to sell 4 pieces in one hour in China?"
"4 pieces? Are you kidding me?" Tina said bluntly, "Dresses aren't normal clothes, and besides, this is in your country. How could a new dress sell so many pieces in just one hour after it goes online?"
“We at Christian have never sold this many units in an hour before, nor have any of the other major Western brands.”
Hu Xin sighed inwardly as she looked at her, wondering just how terrifying the domestic influencer industry had become.
This time, perhaps we should give her a shock. It just so happens that she's planning to create a short video media account for her own benefit, which requires company funding.
So she reported the harsh reality: "Ms. Tina, after the advertising video that Qingyun hired that internet celebrity to shoot went online, 4 dresses were sold in just one hour, and the numbers are still increasing."
"Oh my god!" Tina's eyes widened upon hearing the news, and she stood up in shock. "Xin, why would you play such a ridiculous joke on me?"
Yes, she thought it was a joke. How could an advertisement that was filmed in less than half a day, and even filmed by an internet celebrity, possibly sell such terrifying numbers in just one hour?
