Chapter 21: Chapter 19: A New Wave of the Traffic Password Begins

“Just wiping is fine,” Chen Jincheng said with a smile. “Now, raise your hand, put it in front of your chest, and pretend you’re wiping glass.”

Lin Qing was still confused, but she did as she was told, moving her palm from side to side as if wiping glass.

“I’m going to play a backing track now. Try to match the beat as you move your hand!” Chen Jincheng took out his phone and played a track he had found. In this life, the track from his past life didn’t exist, but luckily, he had found a suitable replacement.

As the track played, Lin Qing clearly understood his intention. Her arm movements were perfectly in sync with the beat.

This was the advantage of nightclub girls; many of them had a dance background.

“Not bad, not bad. You’re very talented,” Chen Jincheng praised, in a very good mood.

“Thank you for the compliment, Boss!” Lin Qing said immediately in a sweet, coquettish voice.

“Again.”

The track played again, and Lin Qing immediately began to sway her body. The coordination between her hips and hands was excellent, managing to make the simple glass-wiping motion look rhythmic, sultry, and appealing. Most importantly, it had a kind of mesmerizing quality.

After just two repetitions, the effect was already excellent.

Some of the other girls had already started to copy her. As seasoned clubbers from the nightlife scene, they found this simple, brainless dance incredibly easy to pick up.

“Boss, you’re truly something else. You really know how to use girls to grab attention.” Sister Hong’s words were filled with admiration. She could tell this “glass-wiping” dance definitely had the potential to go viral.

Chen Jincheng then turned to the other girls and said, “Everyone, you see what to do. Use Lin Qing’s performance as the template and start practicing. If you don’t understand something, ask Lin Qing to teach you. I’ll give you all 20 minutes, then we’ll start filming everyone, one by one.”

At that, the girls didn’t dare waste any time and immediately got to it.

Lin Qing’s face lit up. ’The boss just said my name, but I haven’t even introduced myself yet. That means he remembered me from reading my profile. This is a good sign.’

’Maybe I really can become the next Jiang Xiaobai.’ She immediately began demonstrating the moves for the other girls with gusto.

Sister Hong also arranged for Lao Chen, Xiaoliao, and Xiaohai to discuss and prepare for the shoot. The bar’s stage could be used again, making full use of the large screen and club lighting.

Twenty minutes passed in the blink of an eye, and Chen Jincheng had the girls begin filming.

This time, the backing track was played through the bar’s sound system, giving it a much stronger beat. Lin Qing went first. Driven by the rhythm, her movements were visibly more sensual. As she danced, she gave off a vibe that was both appealing and intensely sultry—perfect for the provocative route she was meant for.

One by one, the other girls took the stage. As expected, only Jiang Xiaobai was better than Lin Qing; none of the others had the same feel.

After filming was complete, Sister Hong linked the recorded videos directly to the bar’s large screen, and they began to watch them one by one.

The girls all sat together in a few booths in the middle, watching as if they were waiting for judges’ critiques. Many of them looked a little nervous.

Sister Hong, however, had no intention of critiquing. Instead, she watched video after video and asked, “Boss, would it be better to add a transition to these videos? They seem a bit dry.”

Chen Jincheng nodded with a smile. “They were always going to be edited with a transition. It’s simple. Have them find a cleaning rag, film their hand with the rag, wipe a table a couple of times, then toss the rag. The scene will cut directly to them dancing. We can even add a keyword like ’better to go clubbing than do chores at home.’”

Hearing this suggestion, Sister Hong immediately had Lao Chen get the girls moving. A short while later, Xiaoliao put an edited video up on the bar’s large screen.

It was Lin Qing’s video. It began with a fair-skinned hand holding a rag and wiping a desk. After just a couple of wipes, the rag was tossed onto the desk, and the scene instantly cut to the bar stage, showing Lin Qing’s rhythmic, sultry, and appealing glass-wiping dance.

“The effect is amazing!” Sister Hong said, pleasantly surprised. The key was that there were no videos like this on Tiao Yin yet. Uploading it would feel fresh and new, and it was guaranteed to get a ton of traffic.

But she was also worried. “Boss, this glass-wiping dance will definitely get traffic, that’s for sure. But there’s one drawback: the dance is so simple. I’m afraid that by tomorrow, the whole of Tiao Yin will be imitating it.”

Chen Jincheng knew this was bound to happen. It was just like in his past life.

He smiled and said, “That’s why we need to release version 2.0 right after. When everyone starts imitating it, the traffic will explode, and it’ll become a trending topic. We can then leverage our first-mover advantage with the trend and use version 2.0 to capture the most traffic.”

“There’s a version 2.0?” Sister Hong was surprised.

“There are two more versions!” Chen Jincheng chuckled, opened his phone’s camera, then walked over to Lin Qing and took her hand. At the same time, he had someone play the backing track again.

As the music started, he said to Lin Qing, “Dance.”

Lin Qing understood immediately. Holding his hand, she began the glass-wiping dance. Dancing hand-in-hand added a layer of interaction and intimacy, making the whole feel completely different.

Chen Jincheng was already filming with his phone.

The version 2.0 video was presented from a boyfriend’s point of view.

He only filmed his own wrist and hand, creating the feeling that the person watching the video was the one holding the girl’s hand and dancing with her.

Jiang Xiaobai pouted as she watched this scene. ’Is that scumbag Jincheng putting on a masterclass in dropping the old for the new?’

The other nightclub girls, however, had a sudden realization. They all started grabbing each other’s hands and dancing.

They already had a feeling that once this got out, this hand-in-hand glass-wiping dance would spread through every nightclub in the future.

In fact, that’s exactly how it was in another world.

Watching the girls dance, Sister Hong knew what the effect of this video would be. Moreover, she “got” what the boss was going for.

This second video could also have a transition. It could use the girls’ first version as a lead-in, creating an atmosphere where you’re watching a girl dance, and she suddenly jumps out of the video to dance with you hand-in-hand.

Before long, Lin Qing’s “upgraded version” was edited together, just as Sister Hong had imagined. The result was surprisingly good.

“Pair up and film your videos, then send them to Xiaohai and Xiaoliao for editing,” Sister Hong immediately shouted to the girls. At once, they all got to work, filming their own version 2.0s and sending them to Xiaohai and Xiaoliao.

The two of them started editing right away. Thankfully, this kind of editing was simple, and by evening, they had finished cutting both versions of the videos for all the girls.

During this process, Sister Hong had also recorded all the girls’ Tiao Yin accounts.

The account names and passwords were all to be kept on file.

After that, the first version of the glass-wiping dance was posted to each of the girls’ Touyin Numbers.

The plan was simple: wait for the first version to gain traction, and when others started imitating it and driving the trend, they would immediately release the second version to snatch up even more traffic.

Of course, there was one more crucial point. These girls were all new and had zero traffic. They needed an initial wave of traffic created for them; otherwise, it wouldn’t matter how pretty or talented they were.

This was where Jiang Xiaobai became very important.

She had momentum now. Plus, with the effect of the Internet Celebrity Debut Card, her second video in the black lingerie was destined to blow up. Hitting 1.5 million likes would be no problem.

Under these circumstances, the glass-wiping video she posted at the same time would also get attention, especially since she was also wearing the black lingerie while doing the dance. The appeal was undeniable.

When someone finished watching her video, they would easily be recommended similar videos or ones with the same title. This gave the videos from Lin Qing and the other girls a chance to be seen. It was a form of traffic funneling.

But that alone wasn’t enough. Chen Jincheng planned to spend another 500 yuan on Dou+ for each girl, which would at least help them easily break into the second-tier traffic pool. That way, with a base of 10,000 views plus the traffic funneled from Jiang Xiaobai, they would have a chance to gain initial traction.

As long as it became a trending topic, it wouldn’t matter which girl’s video someone watched. Once they clicked on the trend, videos from all these girls would be listed.

Jiang Xiaobai was indeed trending heavily today. As soon as her new video in the black lingerie was released, the effect of the Internet Celebrity Debut Card was immediately apparent. A huge number of people clicked on the video right away, many of whom were already her followers.

Guo Feng stretched in his office. It was quitting time, and he planned to call up a few buddies to go show some support at the Extreme Bar.

After calling his buddies, he took out his phone to scroll through some short videos and discovered that the girl Xiaobai had posted an update. He immediately clicked to watch. Although he had only followed her out of respect for Jincheng, her videos were like a freebie, and he had to admit, they were pretty damn good.

“Holy shit…” Guo Feng exclaimed when he saw the video.

Forget the sexy outfit, there was something about her expression…

’There’s no way I’m not liking and commenting on this.’

Then, he saw that Xiaobai had posted two videos. When the glass-wiping video appeared, he quietly liked it and left a comment.

And it was precisely because he liked and commented that, after scrolling through just a few more videos, another girl’s glass-wiping video appeared on his feed.

“???” Guo Feng was stunned. Based on his past experience watching videos, continuously getting served the same type of video meant something big was happening. This kind of video was probably about to blow up.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before he came across a third glass-wiping dance. And damn, this girl named Lin Qing was something else. Her chest, her legs, her sultry face…

The more he watched, the more he realized that besides being sultry, the dance was also kind of mesmerizing and really eye-catching. ’Who the hell came up with this?’

Guo Feng wasn’t the only one having this experience; so were many others who had watched Jiang Xiaobai’s video.

It seemed a new key to viral traffic was being unlocked.
