Investment Cashback, Billionaire God [Quick Transmigration] - Chapter 22: New Streamer Debut

Chapter 22: New Streamer Debut

Bringing the massive traffic from her recent red carpet appearance, Fang Zhuo had barely stepped in front of the live stream camera when the viewer count in the upper right corner surged by over ten thousand.

Before the streamers even took the stage, the backend received tens of thousands of yuan in gifts within seconds, with exaggerated special effects scrolling rapidly across the bottom of the screen.

Fang Zhuo hadn’t even finished her opening remarks when the live viewer count climbed to nearly 200,000. This staggering traffic instantly pushed the broadcast to the most prominent spotlight position on the entire platform.

The chat went completely wild, discussing at an incomprehensible speed how Mega-Entertainment planned to manage so many new recruits at once.

After the brief opening segment, the stage lights faded to darkness.

Prior to the broadcast, Deng Jiaqiang had forwarded a simple investigative reportsince Mega-Entertainment’s initial Group Broadcast was built around Jian Yujing’s male group, other guilds had recently followed suit by launching identical all-male stationary group broadcasts.

With Mega-Entertainment’s successful model, these imitators had copied everything from formation arrangements and post-production UI to PK formats.

Although these guilds’ streaming equipment and streamers’ visuals paled in comparison, temporarily not siphoning much traffic, Fang Zhuo intended to launch a model with higher imitation barriers sooner rather than later.

Accompanied by the “ding-a-ling” of an alarm clock, the live broadcast camera focused on pale, slender fingers.

As the scene illuminated section by section, the live broadcast background was no longer the massive circular screen but had transformed into a bright white office.

The lighting was no longer static, instead pulsating between bright and dark in sync with the upbeat music rhythm.

Three brightness levels paired with different color temperatures made the streamer’s hair appear gilded at times, then cool and elegant under blue-purple lighting.

Behind the cubicle in front of the camera hung the girl’s nameplate. Wearing a white deep V-neck top with a calf-length tan blazer draped over her shoulders, she leaned against the desk, expertly performing subtle upper-body dance moves.

Within just a few seconds of the dance opening, the complex scene setup and lighting design alone had surpassed most individual streamers.

Fang Zhuo had deliberately chosen the girl with the highest panel stats for the opening slot. Sure enough, her appearance alone captivated all curious viewers, with gift effects erupting like fireworks.

After half a minute of dancing, the music gradually faded as she returned to her “workstation,” the live broadcast screen slowly dimming inch by inch.

[Ahhhh I haven’t seen enough! Which sister from yesterday’s promo poster is this?]

[Why’s it over already? Are you preparing the next dance?]

[Tao Mi I’m your dog! I fell deeply in love at first sight! I’m a student please give me a kiss sobbing I’m begging you! If I can’t kiss you then my looks, my manners, my social morals, even my horny soul will be ruined!]

[Wait, isn’t the new streamer wearing Charent’s secondary brand’s ready-to-wear from last season? Is this actually happening??How come the brand my favorite idol couldn’t get is appearing so fresh in a live stream? Can you lend it to my idol after wearing it?]

[First time seeing a livestream with plotlines, Mega-Entertainment please maintain this lighting quality! This level of production truly has no substitutes across the entire internet.]

[Office siren has me absolutely feralgoddess please use your chin to strike me here, there, and… ahem, that place too.]

[Which place? Be more specific.]

[?? Is it over already? Is Brother Fang planning to have these small streamers broadcast separately? No more Group Broadcasts?]

[This format is so strange… That girl just now was so pretty, why did it cut away right after I joined? I wanted to watch longer, wuwu…]

Before the livestream brightness could fade to minimum, it gradually brightened again.

Only now the cubicle setup had changedno longer the nearly barren workstation from before, this desk was crowded with various mugs, notebooks, and other small accessories.

The girl seated in the chair turned around, revealing a different person from the opening streamer.

Her style was more playful, wearing a short-sleeved blouse with a drooping bow at the collar and a brown suit skirt ending about seven centimeters above the knees.

After finishing her dance, she playfully pointed at the nameplate behind her, hinting for viewers to remember her name.

The barrage refresh rate hit its peak since the stream beganno one expected the broadcast to switch hosts in this manner.

Instead of five people lined up dancing in unison, each now had unique backgrounds and storylines, with even makeup and outfits carefully curated as distinct styles.

The studio setup alone must have cost a fortune, not to mention the lighting programming and clothing expensesalready far beyond what other guilds could compete with.

As lights brightened and dimmed, each twenty-second dance seamlessly transitioned to the next person, with several minutes passing without any repetition.

After just a few cycles, the viewer count effortlessly broke 200,000, becoming the platform’s most-watched livestream this month.

Just as all viewers assumed the first segment would cycle through these five female streamers’ dances, the screen gradually darkened again

The full office layout finally unveiled itself to the audience, with five open cubicles neatly arranged before the camera.

Above each workstation hovered distinct gift pattern UIs, beneath which sat counter symbols.

Replicating the first Group Broadcast, Deng Jiaqiang sat before the screen personally acting as director:

“Let me explain tonight’s rules: send the gifts corresponding to whichever streamer you want to see perform, and we’ll prioritize based on the highest combo count.”

Though Mega-Entertainment’s basic gift options were modestly priced, they were no match for the sheer volume of generous viewers online.

Before Deng Jiaqiang could finish his sentence, the gift counter above the furthest girl’s station instantly stacked into the hundreds.

Following the director’s cue, she swiftly rose from her workstation and strode toward the central platform.

The moment her heels touched the stage, all gift counters reset to zero, and viewers embarked on a new voting frenzy.

This format was even shorter than the two-minute PK battles, with each dance lasting only thirty seconds. To keep their favorite streamers dancing on stage, viewers frantically sent gifts with each round.

While the female streamers danced upfront, the others in the back didn’t idle eithereach seized every stray camera angle to interact with the audience from their workstations. Some picked up their name tags and clipped them between their fingers, while others pointed at the gift Icon above their heads, puckering their lips slightly.

Fang Zhuo stood beside Deng Jiaqiang, quietly watching the backend revenue surge. During the first Group Broadcast, it took nearly five hours to earn roughly twenty million in after-tax profits. This time, they had already surpassed eight million in just over an hourmore than doubling the efficiency.

But his plans went far beyond this. Gift requests and PK battles weren’t the ultimate form of Group Broadcasts yet.

Once the two hours were up, the five female streamers returned to their open-plan cubicles. Holding desk phones or leaning against their workstations with long legs stretched out, they struck poses and waved to the audience in unison.

As the curtain fell on the central stage, Fang Zhuo promptly stepped forward and grabbed the microphone before the viewer count could drop: “Would everyone like to see the host from the Jasha Red Carpet?”

He knew exactly what the audience was anticipating. With just one sentence, he retained viewers who might have left after the first segment ended.

The various office cubicles behind him were pre-built stage modules on sliding tracks, removable in seconds. Resetting the stage required only a few crew members and took mere dozens of seconds. As the lighting shifted, the camera refocused on a vintage-style design studio.

Clothes and fabrics of all kinds hung around the space, and tools on the worktable bore Cheng Jinyu’s name tag. The impeccably dressed red carpet host now looked nothing like he had the day beforehe wore a beige shirt with a wide-open collar, a long black silk ribbon tied around his neck. With gold-rimmed glasses, his style resembled that of a whimsical fashion designer from centuries past.

His dance moves were noticeably awkward, but the audience’s expectations were sky-high, and they were incredibly forgiving of his skills. Sure enough, during the gift request segment that followed, Cheng Jinyu’s revenue soared exceptionally high. He consistently topped the rankings each round and remained on stage uninterrupted for the first ten minutes.

Fang Zhuo gestured to the director: “Let someone else take a turn next round.”

For the first time in ten minutes, another streamer was called upa young man with a sharp jawline who poured intense energy into his performance from the moment he stepped on stage. His powerful moves and flawless expression control instantly won over the live chat.

[What’s happening? I’m betraying Yu Feithis guy is seriously captivating too!]

[Out of the two segments so far, I adore Tao Mi and Yu Yu the most. My eyes are spoiled for choice. Where did Mega-Entertainment find all these rookies? I’m stocking up like crazy!]

[This is only the second segment, Brother Fangyou’re not planning to debut every streamer today, are you? My wallet will be drained QAQ. They’re all so gorgeous and handsome!]

[Is this the charm of newcomers? Every one of them is screaming, “Big sis, look at me!”]

[Thank you, Group Broadcasts. These two segments have been a feast for my eyes. More, please!]

[All the streamers in this broadcast are wearing ready-to-wear from Charent’s secondary brand C-TEEN. Just the clothing expenses from Mega-Entertainment alone could cover an entire streaming setup for other guilds. Brother Fang, can you inexplicably send me 50?]

[Not just the clothes, even the stage design alone surpasses most of Star Entertainment’s music festivals, okay?]

[I’m starting to suspect that the styling for today’s streamers and yesterday’s red carpet short drama crew were done by the same studio. Where on earth did Mega-Entertainment find these gods???]

[Sisters who love Yu Yu, let’s push for one more round this time! Before the stream ends, I beg you to let Yu Yu dance one more round, please please please!]

The livestream started at noon and continued until midnight, with a new group rotating every two hours.

Remarkably, the popularity never dropped from start to finish. The viewer count began at nearly 200,000 and remained above 250,000 by the end, prompting the platform to maintain high-intensity promotion throughout the day.

Capitalizing on these new streamers’ debut advantage, the company’s post-tax revenue reached nearly 30 million in just twelve hours of broadcasting.

Fang Zhuo had previously bundled the newly signed twenty-plus streamers as a group contract into Investment Slot Six. The rebates they generated for him exceeded 600 million.

While future livestream revenues would inevitably decline as the novelty of this model faded, the first day’s earnings alone were substantial enough.

The system notification brought even more pleasant surprises

[Congratulations, Host! The creative achievement of Investment Target Three has reached one million views.]

[Investment Target Slot Three: Qin Yi]

[Intelligence: 6][Stamina: 4][Appearance: 3][EQ: 6][Loyalty: 8]

[Recommended Occupation: Photographer, Sculptor, or other arts-related fields]

[Skill Talent: 7]

[Initial Value Assessment (based on viewership conversion): 10,300]

[Current Value Assessment (based on viewership conversion): 1,490,390]

[The investment return rate has exceeded a hundredfold. Based on settlement results, Investment Slot Seven has been unlocked. Keep up the good work!]

[Congratulations, Host! You have obtained the rare title ‘King of Livestreaming’.]

[You single-handedly orchestrated a feast of traffic. The trends you casually conceived swept across the entire internet. This title is awarded when the total viewership of a single company livestream surpasses one million.]

Tonight’s massive livestream viewership likely drove audiences to revisit the official photos Qin Yi had taken earlier.

Since Qin Yi’s value assessment could be calculated based on the reach of her work, it indicated the system wasn’t overly rigid. Indirect commercial value generated by investment targets could also be converted into returns, significantly broadening the types of individuals he could bind as investment targets.

As the day’s livestream concluded and the screen went completely dark, the final group of streamers bowed one by one to the staff in farewell.

A few remaining ad operators were still working overtime in the office. Fang Zhuo ordered them late-night snacks and stayed to handle the final task of the day.

“Director Fang, Charent just posted acknowledging the sub-brand outfits from today’s Group Broadcast. Should we allocate some promotional traffic to this topic?”

While finalizing the documents with Deng Jiaqiang, Fang Zhuo gave a slight nod.

At half past midnight on Saturday, when most young people were still awake, seven or eight trending topics including #GiantEntertainmentGroupBroadcast, #GroupBroadcastStyling, #JashaRedCarpetLook, #LivestreamStageDesignAesthetics, #OverlookedGemNewAnchor, and #CharentClaim successively climbed to the top of hot searches.

Tonight’s livestream achieved unprecedented success, with everyone discussing their latest favorite anchors under the group broadcast hashtag.

Unlike the stagnant audience in Star Entertainment’s livestreaming sphere, Giant Entertainment’s broadcast not only attracted previous short drama viewers but also numerous casual viewers who rarely watch livestreams. This wave of discussion brought massive traffic that truly broke through conventional audience circles.

Meanwhile, Mega-Entertainment’s official account seized the momentum to drop a bombshell:

[Good evening dear viewers! Livestreams in the same format will continue for five consecutive days. After five days, the competition mode will commence. Competition rules will be announced during tomorrow’s noon livestream at 12 PM]

[Based on each anchor’s final ranking in the competition, Giant Entertainment will provide different tiers of rewards.

The highest-ranked anchor will receive exclusive benefits including a private lounge and personal assistant. Specific details are shown in the chart below]

[The top six ranked anchors will secure roles in Giant Entertainment’s next short drama, with specific characters determined by their competition ranking~~]
