Chapter 94 – Flying Livestream (2)
At night, in the brightly lit Jinzhou City…
Lanhe District, Chen family’s house, second bedroom:
After donning his haori, Chen Yu messaged the marketing staff to make a final confirmation.
[Chen Yu: “I want to conduct an additional livestream. Are there any rules I should keep an eye for?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “If you wish to conduct an additional livestream, there are two points to pay attention to.”]
[Chen Yu: “Go on.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “First, the priority of additional reviews is lower than official reviews, so you shouldn’t promote the additional products too strongly. You must especially avoid mentioning the products’ manufacturer and year of production.”]
[Chen Yu: “Why is that?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “If your additional reviews perform similarly to your official reviews, we will have a difficult time setting a price for our businesses.”]
[Chen Yu: “…”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Second, during the additional review, if the additional product you’re reviewing coincides in functionality with an official product that was previously reviewed, you must be more stringent in your evaluation of the additional product.”]
[Chen Yu: “I don’t quite get it.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “For example, if you wish to evaluate a portal from another company, no matter how good the portal is, you must find some faults so that the audience doesn’t feel it is as good as the Interstellar Portal you officially reviewed.”]
[Chen Yu: “Slander?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Yes. We want to guarantee the interests of our main customers.”]
[Chen Yu: “Isn’t this false advertisement? As reviewers, we should maintain our stance as an independent third party!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “We’ve received the customer’s money and product. How can we be considered an independent third party?”]
[Chen Yu: “…”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “If you are being supported, don’t claim yourself to be a third party. As a commercial advertising company, we will always serve the customer that has a higher priority.”]
[Chen Yu: “…Straightforward.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Business cannot be mixed with useless feelings.”]
[Chen Yu: “Fine, then. I’ve expanded my knowledge.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Third, for additionally reviewed products, the livestreams cannot be edited into videos and uploaded under the Transdimensional Review’s name.”]
[Chen Yu: “Summarized videos are only meant for official products?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “That is correct.”]
[Chen Yu: “By the day, didn’t you say that there were two points only? That’s three points already.”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Fourth, points obtained during additional reviews will be reduced by 66.666%. In other words, you will only gain 33.333% of the standard income rate.”]
[Chen Yu: “Isn’t this a little too much?!”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “You don’t understand. The points issued to our partners are a combination of both our company’s and the advertising company’s interests. The more viewers you get during your official livestreams, the more remuneration the customers will pay our company, and the more points our company can grant you. In the case of additional livestreams, our company won’t be receiving a significant sum of advertisement fees. Hence, we have no choice but to reduce the points we grant.”]
[Chen Yu: “It actually sounds reasonable?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “This is how commercial advertisement works. Even in your current year of 2020, the advertising industry has already gradually shifted toward focusing on precision and actual profitability. The platform of advertising is no longer important. What’s important is how many customers are willing to spend on the advertisement. Don’t release the sphere without seeing the star.”]
[Chen Yu: “Don’t release the sphere without seeing the star. What does that mean?”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Unless you see that a star is stable, don’t release the Dyson Sphere.”]
[Chen Yu: “…”]
[Transdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, do you have any other questions?”]
[Chen Yu: “No, goodbye.”]
Exiting WeChat and turning off his phone, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and asked, “Ready?”
“Everything’s ready,” Little Peach answered, nodding while sorting out her cheongsam’s split. She then picked up the large white box on the ground and continued, “Mr. Chen, let’s go.”
Reaching out and grabbing the doorknob, Chen Yu pushed open the door. Suddenly, sunlight shined through the opened door.
“Where are we connected to?”
“The other side of the world, Sacramento.”
Beckoning with his hand, Chen Yu led Little Peach through the portal and arrived on a foreign country’s land.
The area the two arrived at was a flat-bottomed land that experienced a typical Mediterranean climate. The westerly wind was mighty, causing the clothes the both of them wore to flutter.
Turning around, Chen Yu first disconnected the portal’s spatial link with his room. He then changed the portal’s shape into a metal arch. Lastly, he put on his opera mask and took a look at the time. “It’s currently 8:58 in the evening. Two more minutes. Little Peach, can you stop hogging the spotlight? How about you do the review instead?”
“After you, after you.” Little Peach hurriedly retreated to Chen Yu’s back while carrying the white box.
“Similar to the previous livestream, call me King. No need to pretend to slip your tongue anymore. Also, unless I interact with you, don’t speak.”
“Mhm, I won’t speak.”
“Why are you still speaking?”
“…”
Seeing that Little Peach had shut her mouth, Chen Yu set up the camera’s position and quietly looked at his watch. As soon as the numbers displayed jumped from 20:59 to 21:00, he immediately started the livestream.
[Advertising livestream rooms are being activated…]
[Bilibili site activation complete.]
[DouYu site activation complete.]
[Youtube site activation complete.]
[Total viewer count: 0]
After the five lines of text passed by, the viewer count started rapidly rising.
<ol start=”179″>
2,243.
5,605…
Since this wasn’t a scheduled livestream, there weren’t a particularly large number of viewers waiting for it ahead of time. Even after 10 seconds had passed, the total viewer count of the three livestream rooms just barely exceeded 10,000.
[UP, what’s up with you all of a sudden!?]
[I’m shocked!]
[First.]
[Fifth.]
[First…]
[Damnit! Reported!]
[You’re actually livestreaming now? This is unscientific.]
[Oh! The cheongsam sister appeared again! (*^▽^*)]
[I love you.]
[Can the female assistant move forward a little? Give this brother here some material.]
[Instantly understood!]
[Instantly understood+1]
[Are you going to review space-based weapons today?]
[Huaqiangbei has entered the livestream room.][1]
[The previous livestream was simply exciting! Support!]
[My son still can’t write.]
Although the viewer count was lower, the activity in the bullet comment section was similarly high.
Unlike other livestreamers that employed fake viewers to bolster their viewer count, Chen Yu’s viewer count was genuine.
“Greetings, friends in the livestream rooms. This is Transdimensional Review. Thank you for your continued support. As everyone can see through the sky’s color, I am currently situated on the opposite side of Asia.”
Adjusting his mask and steadying his rhythm, Chen Yu continued, “Today’s livestream is an additional review. It’s not considered official livestream content. Hence, whether it is the reviewing process or the reviewed product’s technological value, neither can compare to an official livestream. Well then, enough with the nonsense. Let’s begin the review.”
After saying so, Chen Yu turned around slightly and hooked his finger at Little Peach.
In response, Little Peach stepped forward and presented the white box she carried with both hands.
Receiving the box, Chen Yu returned his gaze toward the camera and said, “Today’s livestream product is inside this box. Truthfully, I’ve already owned this product for some time. I’ve also conducted a simple test with it, so let’s unbox it straight away.
Immediately, Chen Yu tore open the seal and opened the box…
