China Entertainment's Standout

Chapter 1097 The Million-Dollar Influencer Godfather, I Want a Child

"With your dedication, you'll succeed at anything."

Looking at Teacher Fan beside him, Zhou Yutang said in a serious tone.

Having grown accustomed to the ethereal and laid-back attitude of the "Fairy Sister" and the carefree and easygoing nature of the "Queen of Curves," seeing a "King of Curves" like Teacher Fan evokes a sense of kinship.

After all, he himself is a complete workaholic.

Even when attending the World Internet Conference in Wuzhen, she didn't forget to take time to remotely control the film crew via video conference.

"Stop messing around, aren't you full? The duck feeder is calling."

With a playful slap, she brushed away the mischievous hand that had been trying to provoke her. Then, Ms. Fan adjusted the neckline of her silk nightgown before answering her assistant's video call.

Now, besides the female bodyguard specially assigned by Governor Zhou, Fan Meiren's team consists of her personal assistant Lanlan, as well as a makeup artist and a public relations specialist, making a total of seven people.

It may sound like a lot of people, but in the context of top-tier celebrities, it's just a streamlined standard setup.

The person calling her right now is Wei Ya, the assistant in charge of beauty live streaming on the team.

Zhou Yutang couldn't understand why a woman would choose this name, but after listening to her conversation with Fan Meiren, he couldn't help but nod in agreement.

This woman is really good at live streaming.

Something.

The live-streaming script I designed for Teacher Fan was friendly, natural, and down-to-earth, just like chatting with a close friend.

Next, Teacher Fan started a live stream, naturally reading from the script and sharing her life experiences, while also interspersing her product usage tips.

As a role model for countless online celebrities seeking cosmetic surgery, Teacher Fan's good looks speak for themselves.

The beauty products she recommends are quite convincing.

The key point is that Teacher Fan actually uses it himself and knows all the features of his own products like the back of his hand.

"This price is only available today. Buy one get one free in the live stream, plus a free eyebrow pencil worth 79 yuan. There are only 20,000 pieces in stock, so it's gone as soon as they're gone, and there won't be any restocking!"

"Without further ado, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, link up, let's grab it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, it was like the sound of a starting gun; the number of orders in the backend skyrocketed, as if everyone had gotten a great deal and would be missing out if they didn't buy.

Zhou Yutang watched for a while and also found it interesting.

This scene is just like the TV shopping channels I watched when I was a kid, only with a live broadcast on the other side.

The live stream was short, only about an hour and fifteen minutes.

But having to concentrate fully on interacting with fans while also remembering the product's selling points, Teacher Fan was in a state of high tension and excitement.

In addition, the female driver had just driven before, so she was probably a bit tired.

Despite being exhausted, Teacher Fan kept glancing at the transaction amount on the back end, chuckling to herself. Then she turned around and hugged Zhou Yutang, giving her several big kisses.
"I never realized before that live-streaming e-commerce could be so profitable."

"Have you ever thought about building a professional team and expanding into more product categories?" Zhou Yutang gently stroked her hair, offering a casual suggestion.

"what?"

Teacher Fan was slightly taken aback.

A few seconds later, as if a switch had been suddenly flipped, her delicate body trembled.

It was as if a sudden enlightenment had struck me.

Teacher Fan is now obsessed with making Aimeishen a success.

The products sold during the live stream were their own Aimeishen products.

It's basically limited to makeup, skincare, sunscreen, facial serums, etc., which is quite restrictive.

Even so, she has already made a fortune.

If the categories of products available for live streaming are expanded further, wouldn't it take off?

Thinking of this, Teacher Fan's heart pounded, and she seemed to see countless gold coins flying in her eyes.

She pounced on Zhou Yutang again, hugging him and giving him a few hard kisses.

If Governor Zhou hadn't reacted quickly and dodged to the side, he would have been given two hickeys by this fierce woman.

"Honey, you're such a genius."

Teacher Fan's voice was full of admiration.

In her eyes, Zhou Yutang radiated a golden glow, a veritable walking god of wealth.

Her casual mention of a new idea for live-streaming e-commerce subtly revealed to her the current version of the wealth code.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. So, Teacher Fan pulled Zhou Yutang aside and they couldn't wait to start discussing the practical exercises.

Zhou Yutang gently and slowly plucked at her fingers, mercilessly pouring cold water on her enthusiasm:
"You should probably give up. Don't forget you still have endorsements, and if you get pregnant later, your body won't be able to handle this kind of workload."

Generally speaking, celebrity endorsement contracts include exclusivity clauses to protect the interests of the brands.

Live-streaming e-commerce isn't something to be laughed at; it involves at least five or six hours of continuous, high-intensity work.

"It seems...that's really true."

Teacher Fan nodded, then felt it was a real pity to miss out on a chance to make a fortune. His eyes darted around, and he had a new idea.
"Then I can occasionally appear on camera to support the business, and let Wei Ya and the team do daily live streams. The most important thing in selling products is eloquence. Let's find a group of offline sales clerks. Honey, it looks like we're about to make a fortune!"

Indeed, it's no surprise that Ms. Fan has a sharp mind, having risen from a maid to become a top female celebrity in the Chinese entertainment industry.

Just one click.

Teacher Fan's eyes grew brighter as she spoke, but seeing Zhou Yutang's calm, silent expression, her heart skipped a beat, and she exclaimed:
"Could it be... that you're already doing it?"

"I didn't do it."

Zhou Yutang shook his head and chuckled: "Haoyue had already tried it on Bilibili and Douyin, and started planning live-streaming e-commerce last year."

Teacher Fan's pupils dilated, and her lips parted slightly.

Everyone in the industry knows that Haoyue is a celebrity management company under the Jiangdong Group, and Sun Yining, the face of Rocket Girls, is Haoyue's top star.

At the time, the news that Governor Zhou had fallen in love with an ordinary person caused a great stir, and some people even fabricated a love triangle between her and Wang Xiaowang of Wanda, which brought Sun Yining tremendous popularity.

Teacher Fan once regarded this female internet celebrity who used her looks to commit crimes as a potential threat.

Fortunately, the two had little interaction afterward, and multiple sources confirmed that it was a premeditated publicity stunt, which gradually put Teacher Fan at ease.

Ultimately, the outside world has too many misunderstandings about her man.

The Grand Commander has the world at heart, so how could he possibly bow down for a little internet celebrity?

However, in recent years, video platforms have gone through a period of fierce competition, and the landscape has gradually become clear.

Bilibili (Bilibili.com) strongly suppressed iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video (iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video) to reach the top spot, while Douyin (TikTok) took advantage of Kuaishou being ruthlessly suppressed by the authorities to rise rapidly and firmly sit in the leading position of short video.

The trend is achieved!

After a reshuffle of management a few years ago, Haoyue has benefited from being backed by the Jiangdong Group and has now become a leading influencer company in the industry.

It's said that they've already started setting up overseas influencer branches and signed many streamers from Japan, South Korea, and other countries. If Teacher Fan is called the influencer guru, then Zhou Yutang, the behind-the-scenes boss of Haoyue, is undoubtedly the true godfather of million-follower influencers.

It's no exaggeration to say that one sentence from him was enough to make an unknown nobody rise to fame overnight.

Given the media channels and incubation capabilities currently controlled by the Jiangdong Group, it would be a natural progression to further promote live-streaming e-commerce, a move that would be a decisive advantage.

That's just how cruel reality is.

While you're still basking in the glory of a brilliant idea, early adopters have already raced ahead on this track and made a fortune.

Governor Zhou's creation of the entire Jiangdong entertainment empire was not achieved overnight.

From the early days of developing his live streaming platform, he had already considered ways to diversify monetization based on the platform's traffic.

This influencer-driven sales model is a key part of it.

From content creation and platform channels to brokerage services and finally commercial monetization, the various links are interconnected and seamless.

The live-streaming e-commerce business is still in its infancy and is far from reaching its expected peak.

Teacher Fan couldn't say she was frustrated; her eyes, however, showed even greater admiration.

My taste in men is spot on!

My man is amazing, which is practically the same as me being amazing. We're both really strong.

In her eyes, there was no one in the world more visionary and wiser than the man beside her.

After regaining her senses, Fan Meiren immediately launched her trump card.

She held Zhou Yutang's arm in her arms, enveloping him with her soft touch.

Zhen leaned her head on his shoulder, her large, bright eyes seeming to speak volumes.
"Honey, could you mentor me? I want to improve too~~~"

The ruthless and decisive Fan Bingbing, a member of a wealthy family, was surprisingly gentle and tender at this moment, her sweet voice captivating and alluring, maximizing her emotional value.

However, the Grand Commander of Jiangdong, still in the period of enlightenment, remained steadfast in his resolve, unmoved, and solemnly declared:
"Friendship is friendship, business is business, they are not the same thing."

"Let's have another Roman Holiday!"

Teacher Fan gritted her teeth and made a desperate decision: "This is really the last time!"

The phrase "Roman Holiday" is also a code word between the two, referring to their previous vacation in Italy together.

At that time, Governor Zhou had made ample preparations beforehand, which allowed him to enjoy the blessing of having two wives.

Gulnazar was always willing to help and was used to working alongside Dilraba. However, after that, Teacher Fan refused to do it no matter what.

Business is business.

Zhou Yutang's eyes lit up slightly: "Given my relationship with you, Sister Binbin, there will definitely be more opportunities for cooperation in the future."

He started making empty promises to Fan Meiren as soon as he opened his mouth, making Teacher Fan smile like a flower.

The image of herself becoming the richest woman in the entertainment industry automatically appeared in her mind.

She can beat even the most beautiful woman with her fists and kick the top dog with her feet; everyone in the fishpond has to watch their step.

He rose to the position of Crown Prince through his own merit, and he was incredibly proud and confident.
Zhou Yutang was multitasking; his real attention was entirely on "The Story of Minglan".

Since the official announcement of its earlier release date, this drama has caused a huge stir in the entire television industry.

The show premieres tonight and is generating a huge buzz.

Teacher Fan, being quite perceptive, noticed Zhou Yutang's lack of interest and wisely refrained from mentioning live-streaming sales again. Instead, she obediently nestled in the man's arms and watched TV, saying something that didn't quite reflect her true feelings:

"Honey, I've been seeing a lot of promotions for your Jiangdong family's drama lately. I really hope it gets a huge ratings."

That's what she said, but in her heart, Teacher Fan was already desperately hoping that Liu Shishi's new drama would flop.

"hehe."

Zhou Yutang glanced at her, smiled without saying a word, and didn't expose her little scheme.

Watching the show with preconceived notions, I always thought it was nothing special. However, when I saw Liu Shishi in the opening credits, wearing a light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), looking youthful and elegant, I was pleasantly surprised.

Teacher Fan was in a bad mood and couldn't help but mutter to herself:
"Sister Xia, you're almost a mother, why are you still pretending to be young?"

It's no secret in the industry that Liu Shishi has recently reduced her work schedule.

This has sparked various speculations. According to Tangren's official statement, the lead actress has fallen ill due to overwork in her art and needs to recuperate for a period of time. However, the release of promotional materials for the drama in the past few days has reignited the controversy.

Some netizens, who are known for their keen observation skills, have raised reasonable questions by comparing photos of her with those from previous events. They pointed out that she was supposed to be working hard and losing weight for art, but she looks rather plump than before.
The top female star is probably pregnant.

After analyzing and comparing from various angles, it really does seem plausible. Although the post was taken down by the Jiangdong PR team on the same day, its influence did not spread further.

Having had a similar experience, Teacher Fan immediately took it to heart.

At that time, she wasn't actually pregnant; she had just gained a few pounds because she couldn't control her eating habits, which led to her being brutally attacked by a specially angled camera.

After learning the truth about the "Big Sister's" pregnancy through his own connections and information channels, Teacher Fan felt like the sky was falling.

The joy of winning the title of Water City this year, coupled with the booming beauty business, has vanished.

I was prejudiced and always wanted to find fault with it, but gradually I started to appreciate it.

The story begins with the Sheng family arranging a marriage for their eldest daughter, Hua Lan, and the Yuan family's lack of proper etiquette leading to conflict.

The illegitimate son, Changfeng, almost lost his sister's betrothal goose while playing pitch-pot.

In a moment of crisis, Minglan stepped forward and won back the betrothal goose with her superb pitch-pot skills. In just a few scenes, the heroine's intelligence and resilience were vividly portrayed.

Although there aren't any major plot twists, the gentle, flowing narrative pace makes it very pleasant to read.

With the addition of meticulous costumes, props, and sets, the entire Sheng family's diverse characters are vividly depicted.

As an ensemble piece, its opening was definitely above average.

Teacher Fan himself has also worked on film and television projects, and after watching two episodes, he had a bad feeling.

After listening to the Hunan TV executives report to Governor Zhou late at night that the show had broken 2% in ratings on its premiere, he became increasingly angry. That night, he made himself demanded sex three times until the anger subsided, only then did he feel a little better.

The following day, Professor Fan's schedule at the Internet Conference concluded, and he was to travel to Shanghai for an announcement.

Hearing that the team members around me were also talking about this drama, I asked, "Lanlan, have you watched 'The Story of Minglan'? What did you think of it?"

"Um, it's alright."

The girl from Shandong province, with her high EQ, sensed her boss's displeasure and immediately changed her tune, saying, "I was referring to the costumes and props. Jiangdong and Noon Sunshine are absolutely perfect, but Liu Shishi hasn't appeared yet. The preview says she won't appear until tomorrow, so the pacing seems a bit slow. Maybe the premiere is the peak, and then it'll go downhill."

These words made Teacher Fan feel a little better.

But as she scrolled through the overwhelmingly positive reviews online, she couldn't help but comment sourly, "How come Sister Xia is so lucky?!"

If it weren't for great luck in my life, how could I have met Zhou Yutang right after my debut?
A first love couple led her to become associated with Governor Zhou, instantly making her a viral sensation across the internet.

After that, he devoted himself to paving the way. Over the next ten years, Changhong climbed to the top through snow, without suffering any hardship!

Now she's pregnant with Zhou Yutang's child again; it would be better if it were a daughter.
If he really has a son, then he will be the true crown prince of Jiangdong!
