Chapter 653: Chapter 334: Fu Zhan: Collapsed, Just Destroy It All

This kind of interaction was also very popular with tourists.

It was a viral trend right up until the moment he transmigrated.

That’s why he wanted to send his company’s talent. The first young women to start this tumbler trend, as long as they were beautiful and had the right aura, could easily be developed into influencers with over a million fans.

’It seems they don’t need much artistic skill—just good looks, a great figure, and plenty of stamina.’

Some smaller Company MCNs struggle just to cultivate a single influencer with a million fans. Since he could create one or two so easily, he certainly wasn’t going to let outsiders reap the benefits.

Sister Hong made a note of it and then asked, "Boss, with our company’s resources, sending two girls is no problem. But how does this tumbler thing work? You have to give us some direction. They can’t just wobble around randomly, can they?"

Chen Jincheng nodded at her words. That was true.

After the original tumbler performers went viral, many people did try to just wobble around randomly, and they ended up becoming complete laughingstocks.

He nodded and suddenly gave Sister Hong an order. "Arrange for two beautiful girls with the right kind of presence to come over right now. Have them go to the company, find Wanxi and the others, and get some Hanfu to wear. And remember, not the Miss Cheng girls. This is just for a regular shoot."

"Alright." Sister Hong nodded. She didn’t know what the boss had planned for the tumblers, but his skill at shooting videos was in a league of its own. All she had to do was trust him; he would definitely deliver a huge surprise.

Chen Jincheng’s mind was already racing with ideas. He’d just been struck by another flash of inspiration.

His original plan for the sword-kick video was to first film himself kicking the sword up, then do a costume-change transition into a sword dance, and end by sheathing the sword before running into the two stunning beauties, Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang, who would be wearing Hanfu in the city.

Now he could modify it. The new concept: he’s on his way to Jinglan City for fun and buys a sword outside the city walls. The shopkeeper cryptically mutters, ’This is no ordinary sword.’ He doesn’t think much of it, but after entering the city, he discovers that everyone inside is dressed in historical clothing.

He wanders around curiously until he comes across a crowd gathered around a spot where two beautiful tumbler performers are putting on a show. He’s drawn in, watching, initially amazed by their performance.

Just then, Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang turn and squeeze their way out of the crowd. Their eyes meet his. This is the perfect moment for a slow-motion shot of them locking gazes—the mood would be set instantly.

Then, when the two girls see him, they’ll say a couple of lines:

"That guy is so weird!"

"Yeah, what is he wearing?"

At this point, the camera would focus on him, his modern attire clashing with everything around him. Then, he’d do a stylish sword-kick, instantly transitioning into Hanfu, and finish with a flourish of his sword dance.

After the sword dance, he’d say, "Jinglan City, here I come." It would serve as both an ad and a fitting line of dialogue.

The final shot would be of him, sword slung over his shoulder, following the two Hanfu-clad beauties, Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang.

And just like that, it would have a time-travel romance element to it.

Thanks to the effect of his special sword-type Heat Card, filming a video similar to a sword-related one from his past life would generate a corresponding level of popularity. The original sword-kick video had a guaranteed base of over 16.6 million likes. With his own popularity and a traffic boost from Tiao Yin, it was possible the numbers could more than double.

’When that happens, how many people will be searching for Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang?’

’How many will be looking for the two tumbler performers?’

’Making all of these tumbler performers famous wouldn’t be a problem either.’

’Of course, Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang, the main focus of the promotion, would become even more famous.’

Fu Zhan and Wei Weiwei were also very curious.

When Mr. Chen had asked them to set up the tumblers earlier, they had looked into how they might be used. They’d guessed it probably involved a person swaying on top, which would likely require finding a performer with acrobatic skills.

While Sister Hong was contacting the girls, Fu Zhan and Wei Weiwei approached Chen Jincheng to ask some questions.

"Mr. Chen, the cost to make these two Hanfu outfits can’t be cheap, right?" Fu Zhan asked, his curiosity piqued.

Their own Hanfu couldn’t compare to his, but their budget was limited. After paying a five-million-yuan design fee, there wasn’t enough money left to use high-quality materials for the garments.

He felt that if they had used better materials for their own Hanfu, they could have achieved a better look and feel as well.

Chen Jincheng smiled. "The cost isn’t too high, but they are a little pricey."

"How pricey?" Fu Zhan immediately asked. He wasn’t surprised they were expensive; after all, their own Hanfu cost 20,000 yuan apiece and were made to film and television production standards.

Given the quality of the other party’s outfits, he was afraid the price would be much, much higher.

’Are they in the hundred or two-hundred-thousand yuan range, like those custom pieces made for some big shot’s daughter?’

Honestly, knowing that Second-Life Star’s Hanfu was expensive would make them feel a lot better.

But then Chen Jincheng said, "If we’re just talking about production cost, it’s around two thousand yuan. A little pricey, I admit."

’There was no helping it,’ he thought. ’The craftsmanship for Hanfu can’t be compared to assembly-line clothing. For decent quality, two thousand yuan was the bare minimum, and the retail price would be even higher.’

’However, the versions we’ll sell to the public later will be much cheaper, maybe a few hundred yuan, but they’ll still look leagues better than what the other party produced.’

’He had no intention of making anything cheaper than that. The quality would be too poor, and it would damage the brand’s reputation.’

’Besides, he was confident that many of the girls who love fashion and buy Hanfu would be willing to purchase the ones made with the two-thousand-yuan cost base.’

Fu Zhan and Wei Weiwei were floored when they heard his answer.

Two thousand?

The two of them glanced at the outfits worn by the cultural troupe actors, then back at what Xiaoju and Li Xiaoyang were wearing. A tenfold price difference?

’Theirs were ten times more expensive than Second-Life Star’s? Was this a joke?’

Fu Zhan, still holding out a sliver of hope, asked, "Mr. Chen, then your design fee must have been very expensive, right? After all, you own the copyright and can use it for mass production later."
