Rekindling the Youthful Era

Chapter 736: Bathing, starting with you, me, and her
Tik Tok is a freak that has grown at a terrifying speed that no one could have predicted globally.

It only took a few years from its birth to occupying the global market.

In China, it took only 14 months for Tik Tok to go from a cold start to having over million monthly active users, which is the same as WeChat in that year.

Since TikTok was launched in September last year, Li Luo has paid extra attention to this guy.

But because Douyin was still in its development stage at the time, Li Luo didn't pay too much attention to it.

After the college entrance examination this year, "Little Joy" was released, and "Night Patrol of Daqian" was put on the shelves and updated frequently.

Then came the start of university and military training, so only now did he have time to lay some groundwork.

But there is still plenty of time.

It is now October 17, and there is only about a month left for Tik Tok’s monthly active users to exceed 10 million.

It has gradually developed into the first choice of short video APP for young people in first- and second-tier cities.

The content mainly features 15-second short music videos, emphasizing fashion, trends and creativity.

During the summer, it also sponsored the popular variety show "The Rap of China", which attracted many rappers to join and continued to strengthen its music library.

At the same time, various fun and interesting video gameplay functions are constantly iterating, allowing ordinary people to participate in this short video carnival.

And in 17, after accumulating enough foundation in the cold start phase, Douyin officially entered the explosive stage.

Relying on continuous celebrity marketing and topic creation, coupled with its own precise recommendation algorithm and traffic pool mechanism, it has become the undisputed king of traffic and popularity 15 years later.

Li Luo is well aware of how exaggerated the development of TikTok will be in the future, and it can even have a profound impact on the general election situation across the sea.

If you can get in early and occupy a good position during the bonus period, it will definitely not be a mistake.

After his rebirth, Li Luo had some crazy ideas. Occasionally, he would consider whether he could also make an app similar to TikTok to take advantage of the market.

But after thinking deeply, he gave up this unreliable idea.

On the one hand, he was very clear about his own level of strength and knew that he could not compete at this level at all.

On the other hand, he didn't understand this area in his previous life. Even if he really made a decent thing, he would probably not be able to beat others.

Even Penguin’s own Weishi cannot beat others, which shows that Douyin’s real strength is not just marketing.

What is more important is its precise internal method of delivering big data.

This thing is the core technology that ByteDance has developed through continuous adaptation and adjustment on Toutiao. It is not something that a small reborn person like Li Luo can come up with in just two or three years.

After recognizing his own abilities, Li Luo thought about his next direction.

As long as we can make good use of the traffic brought by TikTok, it will be enough to feed many people.

With this mood, Li Luo opened the email message sent by Xiaowen and carefully read the content of the cooperation invitation sent by Douyin to Yuan Wanqing.

As a result, while watching, Yan Zhusheng finished practicing the piano and walked in from outside, just about to find Li Luo to take a shower together.

After seeing that Li Luo was still busy and looking at the contract, Yan Zhusheng also sat on Li Luo with a curious look on his face and looked at it with him.

"Don't move." Li Luo held down her mischievous little hand, quickly glanced over the contents of the mailbox, and then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.

At the same time, his memory palace started to work, bringing all the previous contents to his mind one by one.

Simply put, Douyin's invitations are divided into three levels, with three contract options available.

The first contract is a lightweight entry agreement.

Douyin can pay an entry fee, and Yuan Wanqing only needs to open a certified account on Douyin and publish two or three videos that comply with the content of the contract every quarter.

Douyin will provide certain traffic support.

The platform will take 30% of the advertising and reward revenue that Yuan Wanqing receives on Douyin.

This is a relatively basic clause with many details, but the core points are just these few points, and the requirements for Yuan Wanqing are not too many.

Correspondingly, the entry fee is not very expensive, probably around four to five million.

Well... this is definitely not a small amount for ordinary people.

But considering Yuan Wanqing's current status in the domestic singing circle, as well as her national fame and influence, this price is definitely not attractive enough.

So there was a second contract.

This contract is similar to an exclusive agreement.

Yuan Wanqing was required to double the number of videos she released each quarter.

It is also stipulated that each video released is prohibited from being uploaded simultaneously on other platforms, and must be released on Douyin first.

If Douyin has any large-scale events, Yuan Wanqing must also cooperate accordingly and participate in the events.

What Douyin paid was a high signing fee of 1500 million per year.

At the same time, the platform will help connect with advertisements, and the commission will be reduced to 20%, and the same applies to rewards.

In addition, there are Yuan Wanqing’s personal theme template videos, such as singing challenges, for full-site promotion.

Corresponding traffic support is naturally indispensable.

As for the third contract, it goes a step further and directly enters the full agency model.

Based on the second exclusive agency, the Douyin team directly participated in the planning and production of Yuan Wanqing's short video content.

In addition, the commission for various types of advertising and rewards will be reduced to 10%.

Various exclusive virtual stickers, emoticons and special effects will also be produced for Yuan Wanqing and promoted to user settings.

The annual contract fee is 2500 million.

……

Li Luo looked at the clauses one by one and was drooling with envy.

2500 million.

He worked hard to develop "Little Joy", but the copyright fee was only 1200 million, which he had to split equally with Qidian.

After deducting taxes, it’s only four or five million.

Now, "The Beginning" was sold privately to Huayue Film and Television, and under the operation of Ying Zhicheng, it was barely sold for 2500 million.

This is just a one-time deal.

Unlike Yuan Wanqing, who only needs to nod her head to get 2500 million yuan a year.

Although the contract period is specified above, it is impossible to sign a lifetime contract.

But this is much easier to make money than Li Luo.

However, Yuan Wanqing has achieved such a high level of success today and was offered a signing fee of 2500 million yuan by Douyin. Li Luo’s efforts behind the scenes also contributed greatly to this.

There is no need to compare like this.

But what made Li Luo a little nervous was that in addition to issuing the corresponding contract to Yuan Wanqing, Douyin actually added two other agreements outside the contract.

the first.

If Yuan Wanqing's daughter Yan Zhusheng can move in together, they can announce the opening of a Douyin account together.

So, for the two of them together, no matter which contract Yuan Wanqing finally chooses, she can add an additional 300 million signing fee on top of the original one.

second.

If Yuan Wanqing, the director of two hit albums, can rekindle his relationship and be included in the package, he can also add another 200 million on the original basis.

Okay.

So he is only worth 200 million?

Zhu Sheng, who hasn't even made his official debut yet, actually has 300 million.

While Li Luo was secretly complaining in his heart, Yan Zhusheng was also holding the mouse and scrolling through the content. Then he said to Li Luo: "Li Luo, I think I am also worth 300 million?"

"Yes."

"But why do you only have 200 million?"

"Yeah, why?" Li Luo smiled helplessly, then asked, "Then how much do you think I am worth?" "Hmm..." Yan Zhusheng hesitated for a moment, "If my mother is worth 2500 million, then Li Luo is worth million."

"Why is it four times?" Li Luo asked curiously.

"Because one is enough for mom, it would be great if Li Luo could have four." Yan Zhusheng said, counting on his fingers, "Then Xixi, my senior and I can all get some."

"That means there is one more person, right?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows and asked, "Can I find another one?"

As soon as these words came out, Yan Zhusheng narrowed his eyes immediately: "No, if you dare to find another one, I will tell Xixi and Senior Sister."

"Then why is there a fourth one?"

"Because the fourth one has to work hard." Yan Zhusheng said seriously, "I have to write online articles, create new songs, write scripts, and shoot TV series... It's also very busy."

Li Luo: "...Then you are really considerate."

After hugging Yan Zhusheng and chatting for a few words, Li Luo hugged her and kissed her a few times.

Yan Zhusheng felt so comfortable with his kiss that she leaned into Li Luo's arms and almost forgot her original purpose of entering the room.

"Oh, by the way, it's time to take a shower." Yan Zhusheng said, "We agreed last night that you would accompany me to take a shower."

"Now?"

"are you still busy?"

"There's nothing to be busy about."

"Then do it now." Yan Zhusheng turned around, straddled Li Luo with his legs, and hugged Li Luo's neck with his hands, hanging on Li Luo like a sloth.

"Aren't you going to come down and walk by yourself?"

"I want you to hold me."

"There's really nothing I can do about you."

Li Luo hugged Yan Zhusheng's legs, let out a whoosh, and stood up easily.

As a result, just when the two were about to enter the bathroom, the bedroom door was pushed open from the outside.

Ying Chanxi was standing at the bedroom door, holding freshly washed fruit in her hands. When she saw the scene in front of her, she narrowed her eyes immediately, then hummed, turned around and left the bedroom, not wanting to say another word.

But Yan Zhusheng didn't intend to let her go. Instead, she shouted over there, "Sister! Help me and Li Luo get our pajamas!"

The footsteps that had just left the master bedroom door suddenly returned, much heavier than before.

clap clap clap!
"Don't go too far!" Ying Chanxi's face turned red with anger, "You even want me to get your pajamas?"

"I forgot." Yan Zhusheng blinked and said innocently, "If you don't help me get it, Li Luo and I will have to come out naked later."

When Ying Chanxi heard this, he fell silent. Just thinking about that scene in his mind was a bit unbearable.

So she accepted her fate and said expressionlessly, "I'll get it for you later."

"Thank you sister."

Li Luo didn't even dare to look back at Ying Chanxi. After they finished talking, he quickly carried Yan Zhusheng into the bathroom and closed the door.

After a while, Ying Chanxi brought the pajamas and knocked on the door.

Yan Zhusheng opened the door, stretched out his hand, took it from Ying Chanxi, and then asked in confusion: "Where's Li Luo's?"

"You just need to put it on, he doesn't need it." Ying Chanxi took the initiative to help her close the door, and then immediately left.

But she had no intention of leaving the master bedroom. Instead, she sat down at the desk and put her own pajamas and Li Luo's pajamas that she had brought in on the table.

Silently waiting for the sound of water in the bathroom to gradually die down, Ying Chanxi finally waited for the moment when the bathroom door opened again.

When Yan Zhusheng came out in his pajamas, Ying Chanxi quickly picked up his and Li Luo's pajamas, pushed Li Luo who was about to walk out of the bathroom, and went back inside.

The door closes.

Lock it.

Yan Zhusheng was locked outside.

Staring blankly at the bathroom door that was quickly closed by Ying Chanxi, Yan Zhusheng fell into deep thought for a moment and was a little slow to react.

My sister's skills...how come she's improving so fast?
She didn't even react.

Of course, Li Luo also failed to react.

"I've already washed it." Li Luo said helplessly, "What are you doing?"

"Let's take a shower." Ying Chanxi hugged Li Luo's body, buried her head in his arms, blushed and whispered, "What else can I do?"

"Then I have washed them all." Li Luo said with a smile, "So you want me to help you wash them?"

"You can wash it again."

"I'm afraid that if I'm tormented by you guys every day, I'll be bald sooner or later." Li Luo complained in a low voice, "How about you three come together next time?"

"You, you wish!" Ying Chanxi was like a kitten with its fur standing on end when he heard this. He punched him angrily and said, "I don't want to be with you!"

"Haven't you, Zhu Sheng and the senior schoolmate all taken a bath together? Then it won't be a problem if I join you, right?" Li Luo held her little fist and pulled her back into his arms.

"No, it's just not possible." Ying Chanxi's face turned red. When she thought of that scene, she couldn't stand it. "You are so bad. You think about this kind of thing all day long. You are a pervert."

"Ahem..." Li Luo was too embarrassed to continue, so he simply carried Ying Chanxi into the shower room, "Then let's not talk about this."

"Miss Xixi, let me change your clothes for you."

"Do you need a hair wash today?"

"Yes." Ying Chanxi nodded with a red face.

"Then I won't help you tie your hair up." Li Luo said with a smile, "Let's test the water temperature first."

"Well……"

"what happened?"

"Are you...testing the water temperature?"

"Isn't it?" Li Luo asked, "The temperature is quite high."

"Hmm~"

“Is this warm water comfortable?”

"Don't, don't ask anymore..." Ying Chanxi collapsed in Li Luo's arms, feeling like she was about to melt in the hot water.

……

Half past eleven in the evening.

After Li Luo finished typing, he stretched at the desk, got up and went to the living room to pour a glass of water.

As a result, just as he was about to go back to his room, he bumped into Xu Youyu who had just finished typing and walked out of the bedroom.

"Are you done?"

"Just finished writing." Xu Youyu yawned, then hugged Li Luo's arm, "You smell good, have you washed?"

"Washed."

"twice?"

"twice……"

"Do you mind coming a third time?"

"Water at home also costs money..."

"Then let's just wash together next time. Let's save water, starting with you, me, and her."

“…You have to convince Xixi first.”

"We can start with you, me and her." Xu Youyu smiled slyly and said, "Then Xixi will take the bait herself."
