Fishing Livestream
Chapter 231 - 231 231 Hidden Arrow

231: Chapter 231: Hidden Arrow 231: Chapter 231: Hidden Arrow “The reason I asked you to prepare two skits is to choose one of them, allowing our operations team to make a selection based on the market situation!”

“Actually, for other streamers, it’s usually the guild that is responsible for recording and designing the content of the skits, but the guild has certain confidence in the quality of your personal historical segments, so they let you prepare on your own!”

When it came to professional matters, Sister Hong was quite dedicated, patiently and meticulously explaining many specialized issues in operations to Yue Feng.

The exciting segments from yesterday’s live broadcast that Yue Feng hadn’t uploaded yet included catching several dozen pounds of fish at once and then landing a sturgeon that weighed over a hundred pounds.

There was also a highlight reel of releasing the fish.

The content of the segments was very powerful and should be suitable to pass on to the company’s operations for promotion.

“I just happen to have the material from yesterday’s live broadcast.

I’ll edit it when I have a moment—should I send it to your email, or just upload it directly to the account backend?”

“Having the material is even better!

Just upload it directly.

Observe the data for a cold start for six hours, and then choose the segment with the best effect for subsequent promotional operations!”

“Ok!”

…

After hanging up the phone, Yue Feng began viewing the already edited content on the backend.

The two skits had different focal points: the first one was a highlight reel of a whole day of big fish catches and the process of fishing them out.

The other skit’s main focus was on the entire process of catching a sturgeon.

From the initial adjustments when the float didn’t indicate a fish, to finally hooking one on a straight bite, then the fierce struggle with the fish, to successfully landing it, and all the way to releasing it back into the wild.

All the exciting moments in the process were selected and cut together, paired with a popular and trending BGM, making even someone who doesn’t know how to fish feel their blood boiling after watching it.

Both skits were of very high quality, and in Yue Feng’s view, each had its merits.

After reviewing everything front to back to ensure there were no omissions, he clicked upload on the backend.

Now, it was time to wait for the data!

Since it was a cold start, which means purely using the platform’s algorithm and the traffic pool promotion mechanism to compete with all the content on the platform, the growth of the segment’s early data wouldn’t be too exaggerated.

However, as soon as Yue Feng’s segments passed the review, the performance of the data clearly exploded.

What does explosion mean?

The click rate surged, the double-click likes and comments section were quickly filled by viewers who enjoyed the content.

In less than two hours, Yue Feng’s account backend displayed the long-missed 999+ again.

One segment going viral is one thing, but both segments having extremely hot data, almost neck and neck from the early data, was another.

Approaching five o’clock in the afternoon, Sister Hong made another call.

“Did you use any other recommendation or traffic sources for the segments you uploaded today?” As soon as the call connected, Sister Hong asked a question that left Yue Feng a bit puzzled.

“No?

I didn’t do anything after the upload.

Didn’t you mention a cold start?

Besides, even if I wanted to, I don’t have those types of resources!”

“Mm, got it!

The data is very good.

According to the operations team’s selection, we chose the segment about catching a big fish and then releasing it.

Starting from tonight’s prime time at eight o’clock, we’ll begin traffic boosting.

When you have time, you can pay attention to the changes in the data!”

“Got it!”

…

After hanging up the call, Sister Hong had a grim look on her face!

Yue Feng had actually denied it!

Just now, I received news from the operations side that many of Yue Feng’s skits show obvious signs of manipulation, like some comments and messages that are clearly the product of a systematic operation.

It was unexpected that when I called to confirm, he flatly denied it!

Actually, even if he really did invest his own resources, there’s nothing wrong with admitting it.

Success is the measure of a hero, in this circle having resources means you can do whatever you want.

Although they’re just colleagues and haven’t known each other for long, Sister Hong is essentially Yue Feng’s immediate superior.

The two of them stand in the same trench.

However, Yue Feng’s denial gave Sister Hong a subtle feeling of distrust.

In a luxury apartment over a thousand kilometers away from Yue Feng, two people were also focusing on Yue Feng’s data.

“Hua Zi, did you take care of everything I asked you to do?”

The man who asked the question had a mohawk, looking like a stylish guy in his late twenties, fashionably dressed, and with a high level of attractiveness that appealed to both young and old.

“It’s all arranged, Fei Ge.

I went with the operations company run by Duan Laosi!

I spent the ten-thousand-yuan budget exactly as you instructed!” said a clearly older man next to the handsome guy, bowing and scraping as he spoke.

“That’s good!

I want to see how this new pretty boy is going to play with me!!” Fei Ge said, his touch on his smooth chin holding a hidden meaning.

“Uh, Fei Ge, what’s the point of paying to boost that guy’s traffic?

His works are going viral, his fan base is growing, but that doesn’t benefit us at all!” Hua Zi asked with a puzzled face.

Fei Ge’s lips curled up in a sinister smile, “Just wait and see.

It’s not time to reel in the net yet.

Rome wasn’t built in a day.

You just do what you’re told, and don’t ask too many questions about the rest!”

“Yes, Sir!”

…

“Achoo!” Yue Feng sneezed, feeling an itch at the tip of his nose and scratching his head, sensing something amiss.

The weather was quite good, but why did he feel an inexplicable chill?

Nothing happened overnight, and the next day Yue Feng got up early in the morning as usual and opened the platform’s backend.

Ding!

Congratulations, your follower count has successfully broken through 100,000!

You have automatically triggered the phase promotion mission [Popular Actor]!

[Popular Actor]: 100,000 followers are a watershed between amateur streamers and professional streamers.

Congratulations to the host on your successful breakthrough!

Next, the host will enter a new phase, progressing toward an even higher level of streamer!!

Mission requirements: Increase followers to 500,000.

Mission rewards: The final reward will be determined based on a comprehensive assessment of actual performance and time expended.

The backend content was not yet visible, but the system notification had already started to ring.

When he finished streaming the day before yesterday, he had 92,000 followers.

Two skits’ worth of time brought a direct increase of 8,000 followers, breaking the 100,000 follower mark!

For a positioning category that is not very popular, cold starting from a new account to 100,000 followers in just over two months with zero investment is indeed a remarkable achievement, and truly a milestone for Yue Feng, as stated in the system mission.

Feeling great, Yue Feng opened his backend to check on the overnight data changes.

Both skits were automatically filtered into the trending hot list, and the comment section was bustling.

Overnight, they reached play counts of 700,000 and 1,070,000 respectively—even with significantly reduced activity during the night, it was nearly a million views in less than a day.

Normally, a skit getting two to three hundred thousand views was already pretty good, but he hadn’t expected the guild’s investment in boosting resources to be so explosively effective, more than doubling the views.

“Tsk tsk tsk, there’s truth in the saying ‘it’s good to be in the shade of a big tree’,” Yue Feng said to himself, delighted.

But his good mood didn’t last long.

After scrolling through the comments section, his expression soured.
