Chapter 463: Chapter 414: Super Playback

After the discussion, both parties were satisfied. Nanase Kizuna arranged for the audio-visual equipment to be set up and prepared to record the theme song, as well as for Wei Shiyue to have promotional resources ready.

Wei Shiyue was changing outfits in the next room, where the hotel had provided special themed décor overnight. The entire room was luxuriously decorated, with bamboo baskets hanging high, pale curtain walls on all sides, a crystal table with a ring of metallic ornaments underneath, and a deep blue sofa paired with a pale gold vanity table set against the wall - the epitome of luxury, beyond reproach.

Du Qianqian entered, carrying several gift boxes and bags unsteadily. For this event, Nanase Kizuna had personally purchased high-end apparel from the brands under Divine Daylight Company, designed for top business occasions. Even the boxes for the clothes were expensive and heavy, requiring effort to move.

That’s how it was in Shangjing; as long as you paid enough, you could enjoy meticulous service. Wei Shiyue was tranquil and unfazed, accustomed to such things, while Du Qianqian was curious about everything and found all of it surprising. She quietly took photos with her mobile phone of the luxurious room and expensive clothing, documenting her colorful youth - this was a part of her life.

"I really got a fright last night," Du Qianqian said while helping Wei Shiyue select clothes. "It’s amazing; yesterday we were in mortal danger, and now we’re getting ready to perform."

"... If it hadn’t been for the boss’s warning, those ninjas might have succeeded. We’ll treat him to a meal later," Wei Shiyue murmured. She bit on a hair tie and skillfully gathered her silver-white long hair in front of the mirror, then secured it with an amber tie, followed by a thorough cleansing with makeup remover, and then proficiently applied her foundation.

After the whole process, the reflection showed a radiant and enchanting figure, leaving Du Qianqian utterly captivated.

Du Qianqian passed Wei Shiyue the fashion items she had selected. When Wei Shiyue came out of the dressing room in her new clothes, she looked even more charming. She wore a white lace-knit wool jacket over a short dress, with printed embroidered long boots, and finally added a deep brown crossbody bag. The whole outfit was worth about twenty million, and it was given to Nanase Kizuna for free as a gesture of goodwill in the cooperation.

"It’s breathtaking," Du Qianqian couldn’t help but remark. "Post a video to the Kyoto Infinity bullet-screen network, and everyone will be enchanted by you and become your fan."

"Of course," Wei Shiyue said with a smile.

Wei Shiyue knew Du Qianqian was infatuated with luxury and was tempted to give her the remaining expensive accessories and bags as well, hoping to dampen her greed. But she also understood that to do so would hurt her pride; witches are proud and indomitable, not to be insulted.

She looked in the mirror at the Windemere Ring on her left ring finger and lightly turned the gemstone on the ring inward.

"Let’s go," Wei Shiyue turned and left for the conference room next door. "I’ll pave the way for Nestor Corporation’s entertainment and promotional ventures."

"Yes!" Du Qianqian was overflowing with excitement but didn’t follow Wei Shiyue; instead, she slipped into the background. After Nanase Kizuna arrived, the scheming ninjas and witches followed as well. They were cunning and meticulous, and Du Qianqian couldn’t take risks with her safety.

Wei Shiyue stepped out into the corridor, where many employees from Kyoto Infinity, company executives, and contracted singers were standing. They were all curious about Wei Shiyue’s presence and had gathered early to catch a glimpse.

When Wei Shiyue, with her exquisite makeup and gorgeous outfit, appeared, they all held their breath, overwhelmed by her noble and radiant demeanor. Her alluring long legs were particularly eye-catching, long and plump with clear lines, soft and fair - irresistibly tempting.

"Ah... "

"Eh—"

"So, so amazing..."

Wei Shiyue’s appearance had the effect of stirring and filtering the crowd, dumbfounding these workers weary from their jobs and marking an indelible highlight in their long and hardworking lives. For years to come, they would never forget this experience and would willingly recount Wei Shiyue’s grace and beauty to others.

For Wei Shiyue, the admiration of ordinary people was bland; she passed through the corridor like a deity of this world, completely ignoring their presence.

Walking towards the hotel’s conference center, Wei Shiyue pushed open the jade-studded revolving doors and entered. The tables and chairs that had been set up for projection were removed, replaced by cutting-edge equipment for exclusive high-end recording studio use. Eye drones hovered above, cancelling noise and enhancing sound, with advanced AI and support staff already in place. The company people were exhausted from their earnest efforts and loyalty to their duties, all for the sake of completing the corporate project.

"I am ready," said Nanase Kizuna, presenting the contract with both hands.

The contract had been drawn up by Nanase Kizuna and Lila, with Wei Shiyue responsible just for completing the performance and earning the profits stipulated by the contract. Everything was conducted through a professional and formal process, with the company principle advocating for extreme efficiency and no room for waste.

Wei Shiyue glanced over the key terms: the contract included lending her voice to the theme song for "Siphon!" and coordinating with Kyoto Infinity for three business performances. In return, Kyoto Infinity would provide a service fee totalling 29 million funds, along with promotional activities worth a value of 55 million funds, and promote Wei Shiyue on the Kyoto Infinity bullet-screen network.

"This is the first collaboration between Nestor Corporation and Kyoto Infinity," Wei Shiyue signed her name. "I’m a very experienced idol; I won’t disappoint Kyoto Infinity."

"Your company always provides unexpected surprises. I can only express my gratitude," Nanase Kizuna thanked Wei Shiyue. "Please take care of me!"

According to the process, Wei Shiyue recorded the theme song, then shot a video log. It opened with a self-introduction, followed by a musical performance with her own lyrics and composition, which was edited and accompanied with music before being posted under her account "Wei Shiyue_Official."

Without a doubt, the Kyoto Infinity bullet-screen network is currently the largest and most trending audio-visual community, with a daily active user count reaching 500 million.

After the video was released, the promotion department worked overtime and full-staff, determined to push this video across the entire Kyoto Infinity bullet-screen network!

A series of astonishing promotional hype went live, and the dazed netizens had yet to realize what was happening when their online world swiftly changed, forcing them to absorb the information. From information portals to short video platforms siphoning traffic, all the promotional copy had turned into content related to "Wei Shiyue," and the marketing machine was running at full throttle, with advertisements blanketing the web, making this name go viral in the blink of an eye!

On Kyoto Infinity’s danmaku website, the first video posted by Wei Shiyue saw its views skyrocket to three million within just ten minutes, and they were still rising rapidly, with forecasts predicting that the 24-hour view count would break a hundred million. Wei Shiyue’s fan base was experiencing explosive growth and was undeniably heading towards the ten-million mark!

"So pretty!"

"Diehard fan of ten years dropping by uninvited!"

"A newbie here, asking if those legs are real?"

"Super cute, I want to take her home and squeeze!"

"That’s enough scrolling through Kyoto Infinity danmaku site for today."

"Holy crap, this Wei Shiyue everyone’s talking about is my classmate (covers face with soybean emoji)."

"Follow now and you’re an old fan!"

"Eh, isn’t that my wife posting videos?"

"Kyoto Infinity has improved, finally knows what I want to see! (dog emoji)"

"I can’t even walk after seeing that figure!"

"I’m officially on board the beauty train!"

The praise was overwhelming, and Wei Shiyue’s looks and dances had indeed had a crushing effect on everyone. There was no idol in the world whose appearance, raw talent, and promotion could be compared to hers.

Wei Shiyue was very satisfied with Kyoto Infinity’s promotional efficiency, and the personnel at Kyoto Infinity were equally effusive in their praise for her, having never seen a promotional campaign with such perfect efficacy! The retention and conversion rates were astonishing, over a hundred times higher than normal business marketing activities, leading them to exceed their monthly performance targets by a large margin. It was simply perfect, and they all hoped for more collaborations with Miss Wei Shiyue.

The harvesting of traffic was so lucrative that, as the most direct benefit, Wei Shiyue’s account’s creation incentives and donation rewards were rapidly increasing.

Du Qianqian oversaw the account; she logged into the backend and was trembling with excitement on the sofa, watching as the funds in the account amassed at a breathtaking pace. The single video had already earned three million in revenue in less than an hour, and fervent fans kept the money rolling in without pause. The number of comments and private messages was also soaring, leaving her no time to read them in detail. She was so stunned that she didn’t know how to handle all the new messages!

In a corner unnoticed by Du Qianqian, Kyoto Infinity’s promotional department was working overtime.

The first step was to continue buying traffic, publishing news about Wei Shiyue’s performance of the "Siphon!" theme song on other social media platforms. They attracted users through their hard-hitting advertisement campaigns followed by having other content creators post related topics and discussions, continuously stirring the hype. The goal was to keep Wei Shiyue’s related content on the homepage for at least three months!

"Digging Deeper into ’Wei Shiyue’: From Five-Year Silence to Viral Sensation"

"The Messy Truth Behind the Hotness of Wei Shiyue"

"World Premiere! Unveiling the Past and Present of Wei Shiyue"

"The Truth You Don’t Know: Wei Shiyue, ’Siphon!’, Kyoto Infinity, and Nestor Corporation"

"Wei Shiyue AI Face Swap – Those in the Know, Get in Quick Before It’s Deleted"

"A Decade with Jade: Wei Shiyue Cured My Spiritual Fatigue"

...

Merely calling it incredibly popular was an understatement. Du Qianqian could not fathom the power of the modern online promotional one-two punch, only hearing that the Nestor Corporation’s search volume had also surged as a result. As the parent company behind Wei Shiyue, Nestor Corporation was likewise gaining attention.

Wei Shiyue had become world-famous. Five years ago, she was also a big star in modern entertainment but took a break for five years. Nevertheless, many die-hard fans still longed for her return. Now, hearing that Wei Shiyue was making a comeback and had joined forces with a major platform like Kyoto Infinity, they couldn’t contain themselves and eagerly contributed to promoting her, longing to see their idol soar once again.

Back in Anjiu City, Taro Tanaka was still worrying about how to promote Type A and Type B Synthetic Humans when orders started pouring in from all over the world! Many companies closely followed the trending topic and, while investigating Wei Shiyue, stumbled upon Nestor Corporation as well. They noted the high-quality but affordable "Elite Soldier" Synthetic Humans and intended to make bulk purchases.

This was truly what modern "promotion" meant, mused Taro Tanaka. It worked even better than hosting a hundred banquets as a traditional businessman.
