In high school, Cheng Sijie's growing pains officially arrived.
It wasn't about the sour初恋 of youthful admiration during puberty, nor the damp misery...
Chapter 46: We can't let the same lesson from senior CJ repeat itself...
Actually, she's been in Xinghai for a while now.
During this period, Cheng Sijie has been broadcasting at a high intensity to familiarize himself with the live streaming process, understand the platform rules, and figure out many things that can only be understood through practice.
After a while, Xinghai's operations team started to push traffic precisely based on her user profile and interaction data. Tian Tian, who was in charge of her, suggested that she play PK (player versus player) games.
"Sijie, your user interaction index is very high. Every time you chat, it attracts a wave of traffic. Recently, we saw that the data of your live broadcast clips is also good. Seven of them have exceeded 500,000 likes on our short video platform."
While the operational team's promotion certainly played a role, the organic word-of-mouth and fan-driven publicity, along with the high quality of Cheng Sijie's initial materials, are still commendable.
After the data is dehydrated, it becomes dazzling.
Tian Tian has managed many live streamers. Although she is not very old, the internet industry does not value seniority. It values intuition and a sense of smell. Like a model agent, you need to have a sharp eye to see if someone has a sense of fashion and can make a splash on the internet.
Tian Tian has this kind of intuition and keen insight.
She thought Cheng Sijie would become famous.
As for why streamers must engage in PK battles, the reason is quite obvious.
From an industry insider's perspective, if you want to have fans who are willing to contribute data and actually watch live streams, you not only need to increase the duration and interactivity, but also need to have PK battles.
PK battles require a high level of interactivity. Unless you're a very enthusiastic user of live streaming, you'll usually just browse short videos and won't specifically click into a live stream to watch the streamer PK with others.
Those who watch PK battles are usually hardcore live stream users.
These avid users will have a stronger desire to consume and will also spend a lot of their entertainment time on live streaming apps.
In short, they not only enjoy playing and know how to play, but they also spend money to play.
Most importantly, these hardcore users also have multiple identities such as star-struck female fans and hardcore internet users. They are good at creating memes and can easily support a streamer. With proper management, they can definitely increase the fan loyalty and entertainment value of Cheng Sijie, a potential streamer.
In the future, when Cheng Sijie takes on promotions or sells products, he will need the support of this fan base.
"I suggest you do the PK during the prime time from 9 pm to 12 am. Although the competition is fierce during this time and there are many big streamers, you are in the beauty and lifestyle category, so this time is the most advantageous. As for promotion and interaction, we will contact the streamers on the platform to interact with you. But you should stream steadily for a while first and take it one step at a time."
She speaks clearly and logically, and has a decisive and authoritative air about her.
Cheng Sijie could sense that although Tian Tian's name was sweet and sounded very girly, she was actually very professional and belonged to the type who was ruthless but didn't talk much.
Cheng Sijie was charmed by her personality and quietly sent two cute emojis, "No problem, I'll start my live stream PK tomorrow. Do I need to let you know in advance?"
Tian Tian seemed surprised that the communication went so smoothly, and felt quite gratified and pleased.
She's been struggling lately with a group of new streamers joining the live streaming platform. Despite being told not to engage in anything borderline or softcore pornography, they've gone all out for short-term profits and traffic. The team's image is supposed to be one of pure, innocent first love, but how can they maintain that purity now? How can they portray a first love? Wearing black stockings and a mature, sophisticated purple outfit, are they really saying, "Am I actually very innocent?"
So Tian Tian couldn't help but become much friendlier, "Okay, let me know when the time comes, and I can keep up with it in real time."
Cheng Sijie noticed the subtle change in her attitude and smiled unconsciously: It seems she is still very professional and cooperative.
The keyboard clattered as Tian Tian finished typing with a smile. She saw the streamer reply with "Thanks for your hard work."
…
Tomorrow we'll be "going to the battlefield".
Cheng Sijie certainly needs to prepare some more; she has already passed the first stage.
Just like a freshman entering university, at least in Xinghai Live University, she already knows the basic rules such as how to find the cafeteria, where the professional course teaching building is, etc.
Tomorrow is what "sophomores" are supposed to do; they've been promoted, and there's more to do.
She went to bed early that night and put on a very expensive face mask.
Actually, she's always thought face masks are a waste of money, because her skin feels great for a few hours after using one, but...
She thought, "No matter what, this represents my dedication and attitude, right?"
Looking in the mirror, the girl has fair skin, curled eyelashes, and a high nose. Although she is not wearing makeup, her skin still has a crystal-clear quality and is delicate with no visible pores because she takes good care of herself and has a great mindset.
very good.
She hasn't been staying up late much lately and tries not to dwell on her worries, so her skin is in pretty good condition, without any closed comedones or breakouts.
Cheng Sijie let out a long sigh and massaged herself.
After dinner, she took some oral whitening products and health supplements.
Actually, compared to Jiang Hui and the others, these are just small cases. According to Jiang Hui herself, no celebrity idol doesn't go to the dressing room or get cosmetic procedures, so on the basis of having a better natural foundation than ordinary people, they can only get better.
If you don't do anything, you'll end up being ridiculed for your plummeting looks.
Jiang Hui's bottom line is not to have surgery on her face.
Even if he is naturally beautiful, he cannot defy the laws of physics. Some cosmetic procedures cannot be achieved simply because one is naturally beautiful. With more hair, there is naturally more body hair, so he must undergo laser hair removal, otherwise the fine hairs on his face will be visible on camera.
In addition to hair and skin management, a lot of posture training and facial expression management are also required...
In a way, they are in the same industry. There is a blurry line between big internet celebrities and minor stars. Although their data is quite different, they have a good understanding of each other's situation based on hearsay and being in the industry. They can empathize with each other, so the difference is not as big as Cheng Sijie thought.
Otherwise, I really don't know how to have a relationship. I can only be blinded by beauty and engage in some kind of money-for-sex transaction.
Cheng Sijie looked around.
The room used for the live stream always had a very simple and elegant background. She wasn't the kind of streamer who would put a lot of thought into the background decoration. Cheng Sijie checked whether her fill light and background light were working properly and charged some of the equipment.
As she did all this, the room gradually filled with the fragrance of essential oil candles, giving her a sense of comfort and ease.
Okay, don't be nervous.
As Cheng Sijie slowly added bath bombs to her bathtub, she comforted herself, saying that although she hadn't done much PK before, that's how things always go, right? Practice makes perfect, and no matter what, she had to go through it!
She soaked it carefully for almost an hour.
Before showering, I applied conditioner to my hair for half an hour. While showering, I used a hair mask, blow-dried the roots with warm air and the ends with cool air, then applied hair oil and ironed my hair with a flat iron.
Her hair was already thick and silky, but now, with ample nutrients and in the heat of the moment, it had an even more lustrous, satin-like texture.
The next morning, she did half an hour of cardio on an empty stomach, then went to the gym to lift weights, and immediately followed up with a yoga meditation.
"Amen, I am now completely cleansed, body and soul," Cheng Sijie thought.
Who knows if it will even work?
She sneered inwardly, thinking: Heh heh, bring it on! No matter what happens today, I'm fully armed, and I'll cut down whoever it is!
This behavior is akin to a "ritual," and Cheng Sijie doesn't care whether it's useful or not; her philosophy of life is simply—
I do, but I don't care about anything else.
To put it simply, it's something like: "I don't care what you're tested on, I don't care if what I've memorized will be used, I've memorized it all, so just you wait and see!"
She glanced at her watch; it was only one o'clock in the afternoon. Cheng Sijie decided to check the notes she had saved on her iPad.
Well, there's no way around it; it's a habit ingrained by exam-oriented thinking, a habit of writing, taking notes, and using my brain.
She has been learning about the various streamers on Xinghai Live recently. The atmosphere of each platform is different. The key lies in the platform policies, the routes they take, the user groups, and the style of the top content output. She found that she was lacking a bit of professionalism compared to the top streamers on Xinghai Live.
This characteristic, when seen among fireflies, feels warm and natural, but when seen amidst a sea of stars, it has a rather petty feel.
Cheng Sijie didn't want to make any major changes, but things often happen that circumstances force people to adapt. In short, no one wants to leave their comfort zone. However... a tree dies when transplanted, but a person thrives. Changing things can be beneficial to one's life.
Her livestreaming style needs to change!
It's important not to damage the foundation, but the form must keep up; we can no longer play the emotional card with fans.
We must not repeat the mistakes made with CJ.
There are so many idle people on the internet these days; if they spread some dirty rumors about her, she'll be in for a world of trouble.
At 5 p.m., less than four hours before her broadcast, Cheng Sijie's fruit and vegetable salad arrived. It contained crunchy bell peppers, bananas, cherry tomatoes, apples, some beef, and egg whites. The dressing was very light, a mild satay sauce.
Cheng Sijie ate slowly, until she was about half full, and she was satisfied.
Next, clean up the mess.
Like setting up a magic circle, I took out my best long-lasting foundation, eyeshadow, and various blushes and contouring products for the season and carefully selected them.
Live streaming cameras often wash out makeup, so even if you apply heavy makeup using normal techniques, such as applying heavy blush, glittery eyeshadow, and thick lip gloss, it's hard to tell what's going on. So it's rare for her to take out her contouring products, apply bronzer, layer the glitteriest highlighter, and even wear false eyelashes and eyeliner.
It was already seven o'clock after I finished my makeup.
She also shared some nice photos with her fans in her group chat, and the beautiful pictures in the evening brought out a bunch of lurking fans, who then enthusiastically started chatting in the group:
"Wow! Is she a fairy descended from heaven or a foreign enchantress? What's going on? How can she be so dazzling?!"
"So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful! So beautiful! I'm stunned!"
"Waaaaah, sister, sister, sister, sister, I'm going to lick it!"
[Orange Juice%]: "Die, Pu! Don't lick your face! My foundation is supposed to be long-lasting, but it will still come off."
She smiled broadly, joking with everyone in the fan group. Even [Huiif Energy Orange Juice Bottle], who hadn't been online for a while, came online and commented: "Is the streamer going to the Miss International beauty pageant today? Isn't that a bit too much? (confused.jpg)"
Cheng Sijie raised an eyebrow: "Miss International? No... I could shamelessly accept the title of Miss National, but let's forget about Miss International."
The others chimed in, "Damn, this flattery is so refreshingly unique. Boss H, you truly live up to your reputation."
Upon seeing this, Cheng Sijie couldn't help but smile.
She sent Jiang Hui a WeChat message: "Aren't you busy?"
h: "Even when you're busy, you still have time to check your junior's messages, okay?"
