Chapter 244 Moving into Advertising?
"Hello everyone, I'm Gu Yu, and I'm delighted to meet you all on Dou Ying!"
"This is my girlfriend, Lin Xinyue."
Gu Yu waved at the camera, then pulled Lin Xinyue, who was beside him, into his arms.
Lin Xinyue, wearing a happy smile, leaned on his arm and also greeted the camera: "Hi, everyone!"
Shortly after, Gu Yu paused.
He glanced at Hu Xiaoya, who gave him an OK gesture.
Gu Yu's face stiffened, because the next words were a bit hard to say.
"Actually, there's no particular matter in joining Dou Ying. I just wanted to let everyone know that my company Ideal Paradise has launched a new game!"
"Yes, it's the 'Summoning Divine Dragon' everyone has been talking about recently! I hope you all will enjoy it!"
"Also, thank you very much for your support for our company's previous product, 'Life Restart Simulator.' Going forward, I believe that the Simulator and Divine Dragon will not be Ideal Paradise's endpoint, but just our starting point!"
"Love you guys!"
"Love you all!"
Having recited the advertisement in one breath, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue each stretched out a hand, forming a heart shape together.
"OK! That's a wrap!"
Hu Xiaoya pressed the end button, and a perfect combination of an introductory video and commercial was created.
Almost without any editing, she directly released the video.
"Is it really okay to do this?"
"Using our first video on Dou Ying for advertising? Are you sure we won't get scolded by the fans?"
Seeing the successful upload notification, Gu Yu looked nervous, and even Lin Xinyue was sporting a peculiar expression.
Experience more on empire
They both felt this wasn't quite appropriate.
But they couldn't pinpoint what exactly was inappropriate. Isn't this reasonable? It absolutely is, right?
If it weren't for advertising, they wouldn't have registered on Dou Ying, would they?
So, is it weird for the first video at joining to be an advertisement?
Not weird at all!
Thus, under their own persuasion, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue managed to accept this arrangement.
Actually, this idea was all Hu Xiaoya's; initially, they disagreed.
But Hu Xiaoya argued that their first video on Dou Ying would certainly have the highest traffic and heat, and subsequent advertisements wouldn't be as effective later on.
Therefore, Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue grudgingly agreed to the decision.
Now, all they could do was quietly await the response after the video's release.
"Speaking of which, a new account's video probably won't get much traffic from the platform, right?"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Gu Yu murmured as he watched the video's views remain unchanged.
Lin Xinyue nodded. Even though they were currently popular on Dou Ying, a newly created account generally isn't promoted by the platform.
Moreover, since it's an advertisement video, promotion is even less likely!
Just as they were certain the video wouldn't take off, they looked down and saw Hu Xiaoya tapping away on her phone, apparently working on something.
It looked like a payment interface even flashed by.
"What are you doing?" Gu Yu asked, curious.
Hu Xiaoya looked up, blinked, and said, "Buying Dou add-ons? I spent a thousand yuan on Dou add-ons, which can be considered a company expense, right? Make sure to reimburse me!"
She knew all too well that Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's account was a secondary one, without any special tags or inclusion in the traffic pool from the platform.
If they just released the video without caring about it, there was indeed a high chance it would flop.
But for operations, there's nothing that spending more money can't solve.
If there is, then it's just not enough spending.
Without hesitation, she had purchased a thousand yuan's worth of Dou add-ons for the video.
A thousand yuan could directly offer the video to fifty thousand viewers!
Given Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue's current popularity, as long as there were five hundred fans among these fifty thousand people, they could definitely make this video go viral!
Never underestimate the power of fervent fans.
Hu Xiaoya herself being an idol chaser, she clearly knew just how terrifying the spreading effect could be once one's favorite celebrity joined a platform.
With the potential fan base of Gu Yu and Lin Xinyue, once the news of their joining Dou Ying spread, it wouldn't take long for this video to blow up across Dou Ying.
She had no doubts about their popularity.
She had watched Jingchuan Xiaoyu piggyback on Gu Yu's popularity and gain over a million fans!
And that was just through association; if the individuals themselves came, and brought their girlfriend along,.
The power of the National Boyfriend and National Girlfriend together, their influence was undeniable!
"Uh, what are you doing now?"
Gu Yu didn't mind Hu Xiaoya spending money on Dou add-ons.
Hu Xiaoya had officially joined Ideal Paradise and was managing the operations department.
Currently, she was the only person in the operations department.
Therefore, all her promotional activities were, in principle, unconditionally supported by Gu Yu.
But now, seeing Hu Xiaoya still tapping on her phone after purchasing the Dou add-ons, he was confused again.
Hadn't she already spent money on traffic?
What was she up to now?
But Hu Xiaoya didn't bother with him.
He leaned over to see, and sure enough, Hu Xiaoya was furiously sharing the video across various QQ groups.
The names of those groups read something like "Melon Eating Frontline", "Gu Lin CP Support Group", "Gu Yu's Harem"...
Just by looking at the names, Gu Yu knew exactly what these groups were for.
