My capital is quite large.

Just as everyone was gossiping and the servers were almost overwhelmed by the hair styling and overnight stay scandals, a new app under the Haofeng Group, which had never previously revealed any information about itself, suddenly faced a massive wave of backlash.

【note】!

The scale of promotion for this app is unprecedented in the entire business history of Haofeng Group.

Not only did several of Haofeng's top stars, such as Lu Han, Zhao Liying, Dilraba, Gulnazar, Yang Yang, Ni Ni, Li Xin, and even TFBOYS, step forward to support the company and announce their high-profile entry.

What's even more shocking is that Liu Yifei and Yang Mi, who had been living in seclusion for a while in order to pursue their degrees, were specially recalled by the group.

They teamed up with Tang Yan and Liu Shishi, who are currently in a semi-retired state, to film a concept promotional video.

This collaboration between the great Tang Dynasty poets and actresses, with its exquisite and beautiful style, immediately swayed the prime-time slots on major TV stations and video websites upon its release.

The beginning of GG features a black and white tone with a strong film-like texture.

Liu Shishi, dressed in an elegant trench coat, sat in a coffee shop by the window, exuding a refined and graceful air.

The scene shifts to a street filled with fallen leaves, where Tang Yan, wearing a red coat, turns around and smiles, still as sweet as ever.

The image then transitioned from black and white to a modern, colorful neon display.

Yang Mi, wearing a fitted short skirt, strolled casually in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of a skyscraper, her foxy eyes filled with alluring charm.

Liu Yifei, who made the grand finale appearance, wore a simple white shirt and tilted her head slightly by a shimmering pool, letting the breeze caress her profile. She was aloof and otherworldly, like a fairy untouched by worldly concerns.

The four women each used their phones to record a short ten-second clip of their daily lives in front of the camera. Finally, the camera focused on them uploading the video.

At the end of GG, the four girls stand side by side, and their exclusive accounts on the screen appear: @Liu Yifei, @Yang Mi, @Tang Yan, and @Liu Shishi.

Countless netizens who were watching TV and using their computers were completely dumbfounded after watching this GG video.

"Holy crap, what kind of software is this?! How did it manage to get Liu Yifei out of trouble?!"

"Although Yang Mi also took a break from work to focus on her studies, she still managed to film 'Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms' and appeared on one episode of 'The Coming One'."

"But Liu Yifei hasn't been on any film set or appeared in any public events for over two years!"

"Even when Xiaomi releases a new phone, Haofeng has never gone to such lengths, bringing in all its top brands to endorse it. Short videos? What kind of videos are those?"

Suddenly, filled with doubts and intense curiosity, a tidal wave of people began to flock to various app stores.

......

Meanwhile, in the core data back-end control room of ByteDance's branch, servers were humming.

On the large screen, below the black and white musical note logo, two curves representing download numbers on iOS and Android are rising almost vertically.

In the main seat, Li Feng was squinting as he looked at the large screen.

The fact that Li Feng would appear here at 1 a.m. is enough to show how much he values ​​this product.

In fact, this software was developed six months ago and was fully ready to go live at that time.

However, Li Feng instructed ByteDance to hold back and not release the product until the New Year.

Standing to the side, Zhang Erming looked at the real-time report that had just been handed to him, his excitement evident on his face:

"Boss, within just a few minutes of the server launching, downloads on both iOS and Android have already surpassed 1, and the curve is still rising exponentially!"

"The New Year's Eve buzz surrounding Li Xiaolu and the fake Nailiang indeed had a far greater impact on attracting traffic than expected!"

"This is the east wind I've been waiting for," Li Feng said with a faint smile.

"Kuaishou, as a pioneer in the same field, has steadily transformed from an early GIF tool application to a platform with over 3 million users."

"As a latecomer to the challenge, if we follow the conventional approach of on-the-ground promotion and customer acquisition, we don't know how much money and time it would cost us."

"Only by taking advantage of this overwhelming trend sweeping the internet and seizing this massive amount of traffic can we win this battle and determine the outcome."

At this point, Li Feng's smile faded, and his expression turned serious: "However, bringing in users is only the first step."

"In subsequent product iterations, Yinpu must focus on two aspects—picture quality and sound quality."

"We need to differentiate our product positioning from Kuaishou and avoid targeting such a low-end market."

"While Kuaishou's current use of 'rustic' and 'shout-rap' content can attract a huge user base, it also lowers the platform's ceiling."

"Our target audience must be young people with purchasing power."

"What do young people like? They like fashion, trendiness, individuality, and good looks. So, the filters have to look better than those on 'Slow Hand' (a popular Chinese video-sharing platform), and the background music has to be more trendy."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Erming solemnly assured him, "Boss, rest assured, we will definitely innovate in terms of product features and style."

"Toutiao's algorithm recommendation technology has been honed to a high level over the past few years, and it can accurately target the right audience, making them reluctant to leave once they swipe once."

......

A week later.

As the user base rapidly matures, the ways to play with musical notes have gradually become richer and more diverse.

Just then, the platform, in collaboration with Haofeng's artist portfolio, launched its first phenomenal interactive feature – gesture dance.

This simple gameplay, which involves following up with highly rhythmic and dynamic music and using your fingers to create various cute or cool actions, has quickly spread rapidly among young people, spearheaded by numerous celebrities.

However, just as the entire internet was imitating this hand gesture dance, a highly explosive video suddenly topped the trending charts for musical notes.

The background in the video appears to be inside a high-end apartment.

Xiao Lu was wearing a loose sweatshirt, and standing behind her was none other than the point guard number one, who was in the eye of the storm.

The two, accompanied by upbeat background music, filmed a hand gesture dance video with perfect chemistry and intimate movements.

At the end of the video, point guard number one even shared a loving kiss with Luhan.

At this critical juncture when the fake Nai Liang's cuckoldry is being scrutinized online, these two actually dared to film and record this almost flirtatious hand gesture dance video together?!

The entire internet was in an uproar.

Countless netizens exclaimed "Holy crap!" while taking screenshots, recordings, and sharing the video.

However, before the public outcry could overwhelm Xiaolu and the point guard, the official Weibo account of Yin Fu immediately issued a clarification announcement:

[Clarification Announcement Regarding the Leak of Some Unpublished Draft Videos on the Platform Today]

"Today, due to an operational error by a temporary worker in the outsourced operations team that the platform partners with, some unpublished videos stored in the platform's drafts folder were accidentally leaked."

"We sincerely apologize for the trouble and negative public opinion caused to Ms. Li and Mr. Point Guard No. 1."

"The platform has dismissed the person responsible and is willing to assume all reasonable compensation liabilities arising therefrom."

Upon hearing this announcement, netizens who were initially indignant were immediately overjoyed.

"Hahaha, classic temporary workers, classic outsourcing team!"

"This reverse marketing stunt by Fuyin is brilliant! A drafts leak? Who believes that? But everyone loves watching!"

"Even if Xiao Lu and Point Guard No. 1 wanted to sue Yin Fu for invasion of privacy, given Hao Feng's legal team, it's questionable whether they could even win!"

"I have to say, this temporary outsourced worker at Yin Fu is definitely a righteous person! This slip of the hand helped our Brother Liang get revenge!"
