"As for how I knew about Senior Brother..."
Ji Zhangzhuo smiled as he took out his phone, opened the previous live streaming platform, and scrolled to the backend.
"Look at the videos with the highest popularity under our account."
Tuanzi leaned closer for a look, and when she saw the numbers, she couldn’t help but widen her eyes.
"Whoa, the first one actually has over twenty million views!"
She looked more closely and was even more puzzled. "Miaomiao hasn’t seen this video."
"It was fild on a day you went out, or it’s from that planning proposal your cousin Gu Chi gave."
Tuanzi nodded curiously.
The video began to play.
The background music was a passionate zither lody. Duan Xiayou, dressed in moon-white ancient robes, danced with a giant calligraphy brush as a sword, surrounded by large hanging xuan paper.
When the music ended, and the dance was over, eight large characters appeared on the xuan paper.
Listen to the waves and watch the sea, Heavenly Cloud is unparalleled.
Tuanzi’s mouth fell open, her small hand unconsciously covering her heart.
Ji Zhangzhuo smiled again and opened the second most popular video, which had over ten million views.
This ti the background music was softer, and the dance style was gentle, but the creativity was similar. After the sword dance, a large landscape painting was left behind on site.
Tuanzi kept her mouth agape, turning to look at Duan Xiayou.
Duan Xiayou awkwardly touched his nose.
"It was my first ti shooting sothing like this. We fild each video many tis to get this effect."
"That’s still amazing!"
Tuanzi pounced into his arms, her bright black eyes staring at him unblinkingly.
"Senior Brother, you’re incredible!"
She had thought Senior Brother was just a lazy lion. It turned out Senior Brother could also dance.
"Senior Brother, I greatly admire you!"
She tried hard to snuggle closer to him.
The system was also very excited.
It knew that the higher the popularity of these videos, the higher the reputation value would be.
Although the treaty didn’t explicitly state that others helping to promote Ancient Martial Arts could earn reputation value, it listed a large amount of data for comparison, confirming that after the two senior brothers promoted Ancient Martial Arts, the reputation value growth rate increased, and the accumulated reputation value counted for the host.
Whether it’s a bug, or as long as soone close to the host promotes it, the accumulated reputation value all counts for the host, which is a good thing for the host.
Even though the programs Duan Xiayou and Ji Zhangzhuo participated in were unrelated to martial arts, once they gained fa, more people would co to the Heavenly Cloud Sect’s account to watch the videos, wouldn’t that still bring in reputation value?
The system was very satisfied with the current reputation value growth rate.
At this mont, it heard Duan Xiayou’s voice again.
"I don’t understand the reason, but," Duan Xiayou gently poked Tuanzi’s cheek, "since you’re so enthusiastic about participating in programs to promote martial arts, Senior Brother can’t hold you back. If I can help you, that’s great."
Tuanzi was instantly moved to tears.
The system was also touched, wanting to gather the programs and fill every hour of Duan Xiayou’s day.
Ji Zhangzhuo saw Tuanzi rolling around in Senior Brother’s arms like a little animal and said jealously, "I’ll help too. Even on a treasure appraisal program, there needs to be sothing interesting. During intermission, I can perform for free."
He believed the director wouldn’t refuse.
Tuanzi turned around again, leaping into his arms.
"Second Senior Brother, you’re great too."
Ji Zhangzhuo raised an eyebrow proudly.
Duan Xiayou was speechless.
Director Le, holding a glass of champagne, found Ai Jie, feeling incredibly emotional.
"I was worried about the guest issue before, but it got solved just by having a al."
He was very pleased with the looks and talents of Tuanzi’s two senior brothers. Not only did he rope Ji Zhangzhuo into ’Treasure Appraisal Storm,’ but he also helped his old buddy get Duan Xiayou into ’Calligraphy and Painting Appointnt.’
"Old Chang owes a al!"
Ai Jie laughed, "Congratulations, Director Le. When the program airs, let know in advance, and I’ll definitely support it."
This implied help with promotion.
Director Le was even more pleased.
Months ago, people called Ai Jie a washed-up actress, thinking she’d only play small roles on her return. So sighed, others sneered. Now Ai Jie had won the Golden Snow Wolf Best Supporting Actress and received several good film offers. People no longer called her washed-up, and even marketing accounts hailed her as ’the queen’s return.’
Now Ai Jie’s popularity was even more comparable to so top-tier celebrities.
If she helped with promotion, the program’s publicity costs could be significantly reduced.
"Speaking of which, Old Zheng is still worried about finding a small guest for ’Little Boss.’ How about you consider it?"
Ai Jie had heard about ’Little Boss.’ The concept had only child guests, no big guests. The the was to set up small shops in different urban and rural areas, letting children run them. Viewers could see how the children interacted with different people and their understanding of products and money.
There had been similar programs before, but like dating shows, they would have big guests as observers, comnting on the children’s behavior, and were pre-recorded. So programs maliciously edited to create drama, and so observers, directed by the producers, intentionally guided, causing a child to be criticized unfairly for a long ti.
The criticisms ca from netizens. When sothing happened to the child later, those sa netizens criticized the program, though it’s unclear if they were the sa batch of netizens.
After that, no one dared to touch the concept of letting children be the main focus. Many parents were unwilling for their children to face the caras alone.
’Little Boss’ was a live variety show with no observers, no editing, letting viewers judge for themselves, and this kind of concept had its pros and cons.
Ai Jie had her concerns.
She’d been busy lately, spending little ti with her two children. If the kids joined the program, they’d have assistants to accompany them back and forth and could make friends in the show, which would be good. But could her kids really face the caras alone?
"I’m just ntioning it, take your ti considering. Anyway, without a full guest lineup, the program can’t air anyti soon."
Director Le couldn’t be too enthusiastic in lobbying.
"You should have a good chat with Danbo and the others; those two kids are quite opinionated."
Ai Jie agreed.
Just then, a little girl, carrying an empty plate of snacks, approached the dining table, quickly set the empty plate down, took another plate of snacks in her arms like a honey-hugging bear, and smiled sweetly.
Ai Jie blinked, "Miaomiao?"
Director Le’s eyes lit up.
"Gu Miaomiao? Wow, this kid is great. She’s small but bold, not afraid of caras, and skilled in martial arts, capable of protecting a small shop, perfectly suited for ’Little Boss.’"
Director Le eagerly ran over to strike up a conversation, saying he had once fild a public welfare film with Tuanzi’s mother. Though he was quite old and had been in the industry for many years, he wasn’t condescending, interacting with children on an equal footing.
Ai Jie held her forehead.
She wondered why Director Le seed to just grab onto the Heavenly Cloud Sect to get what he wanted!
If Director Le really managed to recruit Tuanzi to ’Little Boss,’ she would be more at ease letting her own two kids join the show.
Why does it feel a bit like buy one, get two free?
Ai Jie held her forehead again.
