Chapter 645: Chapter 330: Chen Jincheng: What a Sin

But this was all just his wishful thinking. Social development, the choices of capital—none of it was up to him.

"Master Hu, I’m sending you a video link," Lin Chulan said immediately.

Hu Xiaoyue saw the link and clicked on it right away. He then saw a very handsome young man holding a sword, striking an opening stance.

From that stance alone, he could tell the young man had a solid foundation.

Then, he watched the handsome young man begin to move. A series of Sword Techniques followed—incredibly graceful, elegant, fast, and fluid...

He recognized it at a glance, of course. It was Yu Sword Saint’s Sword Dance.

This Sword Dance had always been posted on the National Martial Arts Association’s official website. Very few people could master it, let alone perform it as beautifully and perfectly as this handsome young man.

Hu Xiaoyue immediately recalled what Lin Chulan had said. ’This young man is famous?’

He quickly looked up the young man and found that he was indeed very famous. He wasn’t just the number one influencer on Tiao Yin, but also the boss of a film production company, and he was on very good terms with the renowned Boss Lei.

Simply put, Chen Jincheng was the hottest and most popular person on the internet right now.

His eyes instantly lit up at the realization.

’Is this really an opportunity knocking on my door?’ Chen Jincheng had shown people the charm of the sword. No matter what, his Sword Dance was a trending video now, which meant a huge number of people must have seen it.

Without a moment’s hesitation, Hu Xiaoyue put away his phone and hurried to his office at the association. ’I have to seize this opportunity,’ he thought, ’and give this video a boost.’

Once he reached his office, he immediately sent messages to a few old friends and several highly respected masters from the Martial Arts world. Certain matters needed to be discussed together.

Before long, the people he had summoned all arrived.

"Old Hu, what’s with the sudden summons?"

"Yeah, what’s going on?"

"You even rushed us to get here. What’s the emergency?"

"..."

Hu Xiaoyue didn’t hesitate. He pulled them all into a group chat and sent Chen Jincheng’s video. "I want you all to see a Sword Dance video!"

The others looked at the group chat in confusion and saw Chen Jincheng’s Sword Dance video. They could naturally tell at a glance that it was Yu Sword Saint’s routine. They had been able to perform it in their youth, but it was no longer possible at their age.

Fencing athletes could probably learn it, but modern competitions didn’t include this style anymore, leaning more toward exhibition-focused forms. As for the Martial Arts world? After the older generation aged out, which newcomers would even bother to learn this?

...

After Chen Jincheng and Lin Chulan finished their meal, they returned to Second-Life Star. Before leaving, Lin Chulan confirmed the date for the Hanfu Outing Day; he would be back then to ride the wave of popularity.

Back in his office, Chen Jincheng checked the stats for the Second Life Star Official Website. After all, the site was meant to attract traffic in preparation for his future short-form dramas.

Registrations had broken ten million, but daily active users were only around one million. Most of them were just perverts drawn in by the sexy photos the girls posted daily.

The rest were likely here for the game, *It’s Over! I’m Surrounded by Beauties*.

So far, the results were pretty good. In his past life, the very first short-form drama platform company hadn’t even had this much traffic.

He spent the afternoon looking into it. Until the authorities released the official documents, it wasn’t the right time to start filming short-form dramas. Otherwise, if others discovered how addictive they were, they might start copying the model, even if just to gain followers.

However, there was one thing to consider. The LeShi film and television division had its own streaming platform. Yes, just like Penguin and iQiyi. It just didn’t have much traffic anymore. Therefore, he could integrate this platform into the official Second-Life Star website. At least it still had some shows people could watch.

And attracting people to the website to watch shows, competing with giants like Penguin, iQiyi, and Uku, wasn’t that difficult either. The key was to continuously buy the rights to hit shows. And as it happened, he knew exactly which shows would become hits. It might be very expensive at first, and he might not even turn a profit, but in the long run, the profits would be explosive.

With that in mind, he immediately called Sister Hong to ask her to arrange a meeting to discuss the matter.

Just then, Sister Hong happened to walk in, beaming. "Boss, you really do just casually post something and end up on the trending charts. Now even the National Martial Arts Association is praising you and has featured your Sword Dance video on their official website?"

Hearing this, Chen Jincheng took out his phone to check. He’d never had any dealings with the National Martial Arts Association.

But when he saw *how* the National Martial Arts Association was praising him, he was utterly dumbfounded.

’Damn it, are these people trying to roast me over a fire? Can I even bear a title like that?’

’This is a disaster...’
