Sitting in the snow, Lin Dantong, who already had a draft in her mind, quickly edited the video and uploaded it using her account.
The video had only been out for a minute when the backend information turned into "99+."
As a top influencer with seventeen million real followers, Lin Dantong’s influence on TikTok was undeniably terrifying.
Very quickly, a lot of influencers from Wuyou Media saw her video and were stunned... Damn, you could suck up like this?
For Zhou Wang’s new video, the most they did was follow, like, and share. None had thought about interacting like this.
Although annoyed that she was a step behind, Lin Dantong’s video opened their eyes. They all followed her lead, looking for materials if they had them, and quickly contacting photographers to shoot if not. Before long, they all posted their own trend-following videos.
...
"Hahaha, dude, I heard your first video blew up, huh? When they reported to me just now, they said the first hour’s accumulated views had exceeded a million, and likes were over a hundred thousand. I could hardly believe it. Now it looks like you’re the real top influencer of our company..."
At the Spring Eye Subtower, 7001, Zhou Wang was having dinner on the terrace with the phone on speaker on the table, and Zhang Shihao’s loud laughter came through.
Zhang Shihao certainly had reasons to be happy. It wasn’t just to congratulate Zhou Wang that he made this call.
After all, Zhou Wang’s success also meant promoting Wuyou Media by proxy, an all-win situation.
"I was surprised too, but it just shows that you’ve managed Wuyou so well that I get to benefit from the big tree’s shade!"
Zhou Wang responded with a laugh.
"Hahaha, dude, I just love your personality, honest..."
"Yeah, I think I’m pretty honest too!"
Amid laughter, the two exchanged some flattery, and Zhang Shihao brought up another matter:
"Oh right, Zhang Dada has already amicably terminated his contract with the company. We repurchased his shares for 1.8 million. He even took me out to dinner later and was quite polite. It made me a little embarrassed..."
"Yeah, I already heard from Lawyer Zhu. Mainly because he gave Zhang Dada a thorough analysis, making Zhang Dada believe he had little chance of winning a lawsuit. Not wanting to truly offend us, he naturally backed down."
Zhou Wang said with a smile.
"Lawyer Zhu indeed is amazing!"
Zhang Shihao marveled, "Anyway, his maneuvers not only helped Wuyou avoid a potential reputation crisis but indirectly saved us over tens of millions. Dude, I plan to express my gratitude to him, what do you think..."
Zhou Wang surely understood why Zhang Shihao was particularly asking him. It was because he couldn’t figure out his relationship with Lawyer Zhu Yunlong.
But the problem was...
Zhou Wang wasn’t too sure himself!
Up until then, he’d only known that the system had helped him sign some sort of long-term service contract with Yunshangyun Law Firm’s headquarters, but he didn’t know the contract’s specifics.
Or, maybe he’d have to trigger some reward mechanism before the system would grant him access to that aspect.
But Zhou Wang thought for a moment, business was business, personal feelings were personal, the two couldn’t be mixed, so he nodded and said:
"Second brother, go ahead, I have no objections."
After chatting about business and a few casual topics, Zhou Wang hung up the phone.
In order to enjoy his meal, he hadn’t checked his phone for a while, but hearing Zhang Shihao say the viewing count had broken into seven figures, Zhou Wang, who was already tempted, picked up the phone and opened TikTok again.
His personal account’s backend was flooded with messages, and Zhou Wang first glanced at the video’s latest data.
At this time, over two hours had passed since the video was posted, the play count was currently 2.9 million, 310 thousand likes, an astonishing 45 thousand comments, and an exaggerated 60 thousand shares.
For a typical video, as long as the view-to-like ratio reached 30 to 1, it was considered standard, and Zhou Wang’s stats had far exceeded the norm, surprisingly good.
And the followers of Zhou Wang increased from zero to 68 thousand in just two hours, with the number rising every second by "thousands."
Typically, the performance of a newly posted video is assessed based on the 24-hour data, but with the first two hours already so explosive, it could be predicted that this video was definitely going viral.
Zhou Wang was still a bit surprised by this outcome.
He had discussed it with Lin Ran in advance.
Although the quality of the video was indeed very high, just the special effects production cost nearly 200,000 alone...
Yes, you heard that right, a short TikTok video with 200,000 spent on special effects, and that was the partner’s internal price for Wuyou Media.
An average of 8,000 bucks per second on effects made the video’s transitions so smooth.
Plus, after the Wuyou Night event, Zhou Wang had gained some fame in certain circles. Although internet buzz faded quickly, some people still remembered him, so the video data couldn’t possibly be bad.
But for it to be this good was really unexpected.
Until after a while, Lin Ran called again, telling him to take a look at the latest videos from Wuyou’s top influencers, it was only then that Zhou Wang understood.
