nChapter 94 – Flying Livestream (2)

nAt night, in the brightly lit Jinzhou City…

nLanhe District, Chen family’s house, second bedroom:

nAfter donning his haori, Chen Yu messaged the marketing staff to make a final confirmation.

nChen Yu: “I want to conduct an additional livestream. Are there any rules I should keep an eye for?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “If you wish to conduct an additional livestream, there are two points to pay attention to.”

nChen Yu: “Go on.”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “Why is that?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “If your additional reviews perform similarly to your official reviews, we will have a difficult time setting a price for our businesses.”

nChen Yu: “…”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “I don’t quite get it.”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “Slander?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Yes. We want to guarantee the interests of our main customers.”

nChen Yu: “Isn’t this false advertisement? As reviewers, we should maintain our stance as an independent third party!”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “We’ve received the customer’s money and product. How can we be considered an independent third party?”

nChen Yu: “…”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “…Straightforward.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Business cannot be mixed with useless feelings.”

nChen Yu: “Fine, then. I’ve expanded my knowledge.”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Third, for additionally reviewed products, the livestreams cannot be edited into videos and uploaded under the Transdimensional Review’s name.”

nChen Yu: “Summarized videos are only meant for official products?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “That is correct.”

nChen Yu: “By the day, didn’t you say that there were two points only? That’s three points already.”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “Isn’t this a little too much?!”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “It actually sounds reasonable?”

nTransdimensional 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.”

nChen Yu: “Don’t release the sphere without seeing the star. What does that mean?”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Unless you see that a star is stable, don’t release the Dyson Sphere.”

nChen Yu: “…”

nTransdimensional Marketing: “Mr. Chen, do you have any other questions?”

nChen Yu: “No, goodbye.”

nExiting WeChat and turning off his phone, Chen Yu turned to look at Little Peach and asked, “Ready?”

n“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.”

nReaching out and grabbing the doorknob, Chen Yu pushed open the door. Suddenly, sunlight shined through the opened door.

n“Where are we connected to?”

n“The other side of the world, Sacramento.”

nBeckoning with his hand, Chen Yu led Little Peach through the portal and arrived on a foreign country’s land.

nThe 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.

nTurning 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?”

n“After you, after you.” Little Peach hurriedly retreated to Chen Yu’s back while carrying the white box.

n“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.”

n“Mhm, I won’t speak.”

n“Why are you still speaking?”

n“…”

nSeeing 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.

nAdvertising livestream rooms are being activated…

nBilibili site activation complete.

nDouYu site activation complete.

nYoutube site activation complete.

nTotal viewer count: 0

nAfter the five lines of text passed by, the viewer count started rapidly rising.

n179.

n762.

n2,243.

n5,605…

nSince 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.

nUP, what’s up with you all of a sudden!?

nI’m shocked!

nFirst.

nFifth.

nFirst…

nDamnit! Reported!

nYou’re actually livestreaming now? This is unscientific.

nOh! The cheongsam sister appeared again! (*^▽^*)

nI love you.

nCan the female assistant move forward a little? Give this brother here some material.

nInstantly understood!

nInstantly understood 1

nAre you going to review space-based weapons today?

nHuaqiangbei has entered the livestream room.1

nThe previous livestream was simply exciting! Support!

nMy son still can’t write.

nAlthough the viewer count was lower, the activity in the bullet comment section was similarly high.

nUnlike other livestreamers that employed fake viewers to bolster their viewer count, Chen Yu’s viewer count was genuine.

n“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.”

nAdjusting 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.”

nAfter saying so, Chen Yu turned around slightly and hooked his finger at Little Peach.

nIn response, Little Peach stepped forward and presented the white box she carried with both hands.

n

nReceiving 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.

nImmediately, Chen Yu tore open the seal and opened the box…
