At the same time…
When Lin Youjuan woke up in the afternoon, she sat in her courtyard and basked in the sun. She sat lazily on a rocking chair, eating snacks and watching Meng Chuyuan and the others’ live-stream with her iPad on the table.
Perhaps it was because she found out last time that they were going to film an episode of the variety show at home, but Lin Youjuan had become more and more interested in this variety show. Now, whenever she was free, she would feel like turning on the live-stream to watch.
Lin Youjuan happened to catch a glimpse of the PK mission where they were competing for likes online. There was still more than an hour before the deadline. When she saw this, she sat up straight.
She threw away the remaining half of the flower cake in her hand and suddenly took out her phone. She immediately downloaded and installed Weibo.
Lin Youjuan did not usually use these social media apps. If she had not seen that Meng Chuyuan and the others were doing missions this time, she might not have done these things in her life.
Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo was quite easy to find because the video she posted happened to be on the trending searches. Lin Youjuan installed Weibo and registered a new account. She only followed Meng Chuyuan and liked her posts.
Seeing the number of likes on that Weibo post, Lin Youjuan frowned unhappily. “It’s been almost half an hour since it was posted. Why are there only 10,000 likes…
She stared at the Weibo post and looked at the changes in the post statistics. When she realized that it was gradually slowing down, Lin Youjuan felt anxious.
In the end, Lin Youjuan couldn’t help but make a move.
She mobilized her own personal connections, her family connections and all the brands that had a cooperative relationship with Lu Corporation.
Lin Youjuan shared Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo link and sent it to the group chat to inform everyone: [Everyone, please help forward this original video and call for everyone to like it. There will be a lucky draw event. All the expenses incurred after that will be covered by me.]
No one in the group said anything, but when they saw Lin Youjuan’s message, they silently went to settle the matter.
Soon, Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo was reposted by an official car brand who also set up a lucky-draw event for people who reposted and liked the video to participate in. The grand prize was a car worth millions. It was also stated that this event was real and in effect!
Not long after, Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo post was reposted by many official accounts and a link was set up for the lucky-draw event. As soon as the news was released, it immediately rushed to the trending searches.
[F*ck!! Like for a chance to win a free car?!… At first, I thought these were all high-quality imitation accounts. When I clicked on them, I was shocked. It was really initiated by the official account! ]
[Sister Meng is really awesome! So many official accounts actually appeared on her casual Weibo account. They’re all supporting Sister Meng. She’s too awesome. Who else can have such a big reputation other than Sister Meng?!]
[I just saw that one of the prizes was a free villa. Everyone, quickly give it a Like!]
[Since it only requires me to do something simple as moving my fingers, I want to participate too. Perhaps I’ll be the lucky one.]
[F*ck, what’s wrong with these brands? Even their own spokesperson doesn’t receive such treatment. Why is Sister Meng the only exception?]
[At this rate, it shouldn’t be a problem for her post to break through ten million likes, right? Hahaha, let me make a prediction. Director Luo might not even have enough funds!! It doesn’t matter whether I win the lucky-draw or not. I just want to see Director Luo go crazy / Dog head emoji]
At this moment, Meng Chuyuan still did not know what had happened on the Internet.
Lu Jinsen and Liao Jiayan were following the Weibo data, so when Meng Chuyuan’s name appeared on the trending searches, they discovered it immediately.
“I…” Liao Jiayan almost cursed when she saw the likes on Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo post. Realizing that it was still a live-stream, she quickly reacted. “Oh my god! Sister Meng’s likes are almost over a million.”
When Lu Jinsen heard about the number of likes, he frowned.
Even within the entertainment industry, this number would still be considered quite explosive.
Those top celebrities who posted on Weibo might not even reach a million likes in an hour…
Lu Jinsen frowned and clicked on Meng Chuyuan’s Weibo curiously. “Let me see.”
“…” When he saw the most popular official accounts in the forwarding column, Lu Jinsen could tell at a glance that this was Lin Youjuan’s masterpiece.
Lu Jinsen silently logged out of Weibo and sent a message to his mother: [Mom, are you watching the live-stream?]
After a while, Lin Youjuan replied: [Yes.]
Lu Jinsen: [It’s just a small matter, liking the posts… Actually, you don’t have to mobilize so many people.]
Lin Youjuan: [This is about money. How can it be called a small matter?] Lu Jinsen:
Seeing that the number of likes was still rising, the director’s expression changed.
At first, he thought that since he had allocated a total of two hours plus for them to film and edit their vlog, the guests would not be able to get much likes.
The director even thought of increasing the traction of time allocated tor filming so as to try not to let the guests suffer.
It turned out that he was the one at a disadvantage!
The director massaged his throbbing temples and asked his colleague beside him, “How long until this ends?”
“26 minutes.”
The director:
Twenty-six minutes later, the staff at the scene immediately took a screenshot of each of their Weibo posts.
The eight guests were sitting under the sky, waiting for the production team to settle the score.
[I think the production team is under a lot of pressure. Haha, Sister Meng’s group has more than a million likes… How much funds will they get? I’m so looking forward to it-]
[Ahhhhh, Sister Meng is too ruthless. The production team probably won’t dare to play with the guests like this next time.]
[Although… Sister Meng didn’t seem to have looked at her phone much just now. It really seems like she was certain she would win.]
“How is it?” There was no trace of a smile on the director’s face. While he was curious about the post statistics of Meng Chuyuan’s group, he was also afraid.
“Meng Chuyuan’s group has the highest likes reaching 1.354 million. The post which has the highest number of likes in the other group belongs to Liao Jiake, with 53,000 likes.”
“The difference is so big…” It was difficult for him to set the fund exchange rate.
If he adjusted the exchange rate to be low, with a million likes, even a 1% exchange rate would still be a lot…
The director touched his forehead and was anxious for a long time. After thinking hard, he finally thought of a solution. He had a flash of inspiration and asked, “How many likes did their team get from the lucky draw?”
“How do we calculate that?”
The director found a way to save money and instantly came to life. “If I understand correctly, they should be the ones who reposted the post from the ‘Lucky-draw’ thread. It has nothing to do with the original video. Just follow the posts that were reposted under that thread and treat them as ‘likes’ gathered from the lucky draw.”
“…Then let me calculate them.” As there were too many official accounts, there were at least 20 lucky draw links. It would take some time to calculate.
When the assistant director heard that he had found such a far-fetched reasoning, he could not help but look at him and say sincerely, “Director, you’re the best.”
The director placed his hands behind his back and frowned. “If you want to blame someone, blame this number for being too scary.”
After a while, the staff finally calculated the post statistics. “There are a total of 1,228,000 likes from the lucky draw.”
The director said, “Alright, then let’s go with a 0.15% exchange rate for the 1.228 million likes. The rest will be settled with a 1.5% exchange rate..”
