Chapter 730 - 366: A Good Way to Snipe Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television

Chapter 730: Chapter 366: A Good Way to Snipe Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television

Many users buy a membership on a streaming platform for a specific show.

But before such a show is released, no one knows if it will be a huge hit. It’s rare for a show to be a guaranteed blockbuster.

Therefore, to ensure they have enough resources and exposure after launch, many productions invite streaming platforms to invest. This means that, most of the time, Penguin Film and Television and iQiyi are sitting pretty, developing their pan-entertainment ecosystems.

Chen Jincheng wanted to get LeTV Film and Television Network up and running, and naturally, he planned to get a piece of the action. This wasn’t just for short-form dramas; he could also build a pan-entertainment ecosystem belonging to Second-Life Star.

And once it was established, his pan-entertainment ecosystem could have a much broader scope than those of Penguin and iQiyi.

After all, the future short-form dramas from iQiyi and Penguin Film and Television were nothing special. Plus, their live-streaming sections weren’t that great either.

’Especially Penguin Film and Television. The Penguin Group already made a mess of Weishi, turning it into a pile of crap. Why would a film and television platform like you start another one? You’re just disgusting your own users.’

’Clearly, the various departments and subsidiaries within Penguin aren’t very united.’

However, Chen Jincheng also knew this was all contingent on getting the film and television network off the ground. Before that happened, any talk of a pan-entertainment ecosystem would just be a joke.

Of course, for the young boss to have come up with such a method, he must have had plans to release some blockbuster hits on the network later to reactivate these memberships.

Online, more and more people were searching for Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television.

Wu Yu was one of them.

He wasn’t a fan of Chen Jincheng, but he had to admit that as a loser, he really liked the game Chen Jincheng had created, *Shoot! I’m Surrounded by Beauties!*

His favorite, of course, was the girl played by Yinyin.

That Big Pendulum was simply unreal. Especially in the special pool scene, the way the Big Pendulum swayed and surged in the rippling water... Seriously, he had watched the CG animation several times, but the screen would go black every time his hands were about to grab on.

He was speechless. But then again, it certainly left a lot to the imagination.

But the game’s story had suddenly cut off, forcing you to buy the DLC and bundle to continue. The key thing was, he didn’t mind buying it, but they needed to release it already! Stop leaving everyone hanging!

On this point, they couldn’t help but complain about Chen Jincheng.

But after venting, he went back to searching online. This time, as he searched for Second Life Star Film and Television Network, his eyes suddenly lit up. A link had appeared in the search results: Second Life Star Film and Television Network. He clicked it, and a webpage appeared that felt both familiar and strange.

It was familiar because he had used LeTV Film and Television before, so he felt like this was just a template from the old LeTV Film and Television Network.

But many parts were also strange. It all seemed to be content about Second-Life Star. There was an "Artist Zone" with homepages for all of Second-Life Star’s artists. Especially for the girls, he could see them sharing their daily photos, some of which were sexy and alluring. ’Damn, would these photos and videos even pass Tiao Yin’s content moderation?’

Especially those of the Miss Cheng girls. When he saw Yinyin’s private photos, he wanted to shout something lewd. ’A site that Second-Life Star moderates themselves... they’re pretty bold.’

Moreover, these artist homepages also had links to their Tiao Yin accounts and reminders for their live streams.

He felt like he had discovered a whole new world.

It wasn’t just Wu Yu; many people who had bought the game came to the site and noticed this. ’This is pretty interesting.’

Soon, the gamers also discovered a link to the game section in a prominent feature on the homepage. Inside, there was a recommendation for *Shoot! I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

Wu Yu immediately clicked on it and saw the sales links for the DLC and the bundle.

Meanwhile, many of the other curious netizens who had dropped by also discovered a recommendation in the prominent feature on Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television: claim a free quarterly membership.

Liu Feng was one of them. He never passed up a free membership like this. Although for now, this Second Life Star site only had old shows from the former LeTV, who was to say Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television wouldn’t release some blockbuster hit later on?

’The membership might come in handy then. Anyway, it’s free, so why not take it?’

After purchasing the bundle for *Shoot! I’m Surrounded by Beauties!*, Wu Yu also noticed the free membership offer and claimed it without a second thought.

In the Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television department, Sun Ji and the vice president in charge of the network were constantly watching the backend data. When they saw the rate of increase, an indescribable joy appeared on their faces.

In a short period, the number of people who had claimed the membership had already exceeded four million.

Among them, one million were members who had purchased the game, and three million were curious onlookers who had claimed it on a whim.

He immediately sent this data to his boss.

Chen Jincheng also logged into the Second Life Star Film and Television Network from his computer. ’The redesign is decent. The interface is no worse than Penguin’s or iQiyi’s.’

He also received the data from Sun Ji.

Four million people had claimed a free quarterly membership.

The ratio of gamers to curious netizens was 1:3.

’That’s a good ratio. By that estimate, if *Shoot! I’m Surrounded by Beauties!* sells 15 million copies in the end, and this ratio holds, the number of free memberships claimed could ideally reach 60 million.’

’Even if interest wanes later and fewer curious people show up, we should still be able to hit 30 million free memberships claimed.’

’Add to that the 10 million-plus registered users on the original Second Life Star Official Website. Among those die-hard fans, there are about 3 million daily active users.’

’In that case, the numbers are definitely not low.’

’One has to remember that in this period, around 2018, the daily active users for Penguin and iQiyi had just barely surpassed 100 million. Uku had even fewer, with only 55 million daily active users.’

’So, when the time is right, our Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television can give these platforms a huge surprise.’

’And I believe that moment isn’t too far off.’

’We could even easily surpass what LeTV Film and Television once was.’

The launch of Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television naturally attracted the attention of Penguin Film and Television, iQiyi Film and Television, and other streaming services.

After all, the market for this sector was only so big, and the trend of new user growth had already stabilized. Therefore, any new player suddenly entering the field would draw the attention of the other platforms.

They had all been secretly pleased when LeTV went under. Who would have thought it would now become Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television?

However, when they saw the promotional method Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television was using for its launch, all the other streaming platforms couldn’t help but laugh.

They were actually using a game to generate buzz? Wasn’t that a complete mismatch?

The users attracted by a game would have very low engagement and interest in film and television. What was the use of attracting them?

You could say their move was a complete waste of effort.

The tactic of giving away a quarterly membership, on the other hand, was quite good.

But this tactic had a huge flaw.

A flaw so big that one could easily use it to attack Er Shi Xingchen Film and Television and take it down with ease.

All the major streaming platforms discovered this flaw. They immediately held meetings at top speed to formulate plans, preparing to attack and eliminate Xingchen directly.
