Chapter 435: Chapter 243: He is the Sea King! Xiaoshuai! Xiaomei
After a few attempts, Xue Qian and Zhu Zhen finally got a successful take. They hurried over to the cameraman to check the footage.
Seeing this, Chen Jincheng told the girls from Second-Life Star, "Alright, you can go up one after another now. Try to show off your unique styles. You can dance or come up with your own poses. Just be careful not to fall."
"Okay, Boss!"
"Got it, Boss!"
"..."
Girls like Jiang Xiaobai and Yinyin were naturally eager to give it a try. Hearing his words, they all lined up and headed toward the pile of rocks.
Things got a lot more interesting when it was the girls’ turn to shoot the video.
The girls were so excited that they didn’t even consider the potential for awkward situations. Take Jiang Xiaobai, for instance. She was wearing rather thin clothing. Her movements were graceful, but the moment her clothes got wet, things became a bit awkward.
This prompted many onlookers to whip out their phones and start recording with a sense of duty.
Girls like Cenchun and Xiaoju went for an elegant style.
This was the approach most of the girls chose: gracefully summoning a giant wave.
But some went for a more "abstract" approach, like Yinyin. Just as the wave came, she jumped. When she landed, her Big Pendulum moved like a tidal wave itself.
At the same time, the actual tidal wave was drawn in, as if by a dual attraction.
Chen Jincheng saw this and had a feeling. ’Yinyin’s video is definitely going to blow up.’
One girl was particularly clever. She smashed a water bottle on the ground. At the exact moment of impact, the wave crashed up. The timing made it look as if she had used some kind of water bottle prop to cause the tide to surge.
That video was sure to get a ton of likes, too.
As the girls were filming, the internet was already buzzing because of Chen Jincheng’s original video.
After some online hype, many people were already curious about Chen Jincheng’s plan to create a new influencer check-in spot.
So, the moment his video dropped, it instantly attracted countless views. Everyone who saw it was clearly stunned. ’You can film a wave like *that*?’
"Gotta say, he really pulled off the cool act."
"The ocean: You hogged all the coolness for yourself."
"The sea: Did I say you could do that?"
"Spread the word! This man can control the ocean! He’s the Sea King!"
"Forget the power of a great Mage, ’Sea King’ suits you better!"
"The ’Sea King’ title is pretty good. He’s the number one player on the internet, isn’t that what a ’Sea King’ is?"
"Cheng, from this day forward, you are the Sea King."
"..."
The lively comment section made it clear: the video had gone viral.
And soon, people discovered that new videos were appearing. First came the one from Xue Qian and Zhu Zhen, which was fine. But when the videos from the Second-Life Star girls were uploaded, things really took off.
The girls’ videos were full of variety: Jiang Xiaobai’s soaked look, Yinyin’s Big-Pendulum-wave-summoning... they were all incredibly eye-catching.
As this series of videos came out, more and more people were captivated, and they all started asking where this place was. The Wenhua Oriental Hotel became known to an ever-growing audience.
Clearly, the place had really blown up. In the future, anyone who came here would definitely be tempted to film their own Wave-Summoning Technique video.
So, its status as a viral check-in spot was a sure thing.
This left people online amazed.
As expected of Chen Jincheng.
He had really brought this much hype to the Wenhua Oriental Hotel with such a simple idea.
After half a day, Chen Jincheng and the Second-Life Star girls finished filming all the "Wave-Summoning Technique" videos.
By the time they left and returned to the hotel, the situation at the rocks had already spiraled out of control. Onlookers had started to swarm the area, trying to imitate the Wave-Summoning Technique videos, and their numbers were growing.
Seeing this, Lin Sheng didn’t dare to withdraw the security guards, terrified that an accident might happen.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Jincheng went back to his room to change and wash up. He was covered in the unpleasant, fishy smell of seawater.
As he came out of his room after a shower, he received a WeChat message from Sister Hong: "Tiao Yin just launched a new feature. It seems to be something similar to clip accounts!"
Below the message was a link.
Chen Jincheng was a little confused. ’Why would Tiao Yin release a new feature during the National Day holiday? Don’t they know everyone’s out traveling?’
However, when he clicked the link and saw what Tiao Yin’s new feature was, he was momentarily stunned.
It was a video editing feature. No wonder they launched it during the holiday.
Although the feature was simple and anyone could use it, it had given rise to accounts with tens of millions of fans.
And a particular phrase instantly popped into his mind:
This man is called Xiaoshuai, and this beauty is called Xiaomei!
