23: Chapter 23 Tianjiu's Desire to Improve
The audience in the Livestream Room heard Cao Mo's words and were immediately amused:
" Hahaha haha! "
" Hahaha! "
" My Brother Mo is about to rebel! "
" Brother Mo is awesome! He's truly the Brother Yi of 798. "
" My Brother Mo is truly daring! "
" What audacity! He's going to be banned! "
" Now that you mention it, Liuzi really does seem to be suppressed in every way! "
" Who says my Liuzi is useless? My Liuzi has money! He has an SF90, a G-Wagon, a company, and emotional intelligence. "
" My Brother Mo is preparing to create a new 798. "
...
Tong Jingchen was stunned when he heard this. He certainly wasn't angry; on the contrary, he liked this state of Cao Mo's—he had good banter and could keep up with the conversation.
" Alright! Cao Mo, you're getting cocky! You're so bold now; if you keep getting more popular, won't you turn the world upside down? " Tong Jingchen said with a smile.
" No, no! Just kidding, just kidding, I'm heading to the dressing room. "
Cao Mo said this and headed to the dressing room. Inside the dressing room, Lulu was doing Tian Jiu's makeup and styling, while another makeup stylist, Sister Xuan, was doing Xiao Yang's makeup.
" Sister Yang! " Cao Mo walked over and reached out to greet her.
" Yo! Hello, Brother Yi! " Xiao Yang immediately reached out and shook hands with Cao Mo.
" Don't, Sister Yang, just Little Mo, Little Mo! " Cao Mo replied.
" It is Brother Yi, the Boss has already certified it. " Tian Jiu glanced at Tong Jingchen, who was standing at the dressing room door, and spoke up.
" Master Jiu, you're looking for trouble, aren't you! It's not the time when you were beaten three to one. " Cao Mo laughed.
" Brother Mo, just call me Xiao Jiu. " Tian Jiu replied.
As he said this, Tian Jiu said to Lulu: " Lulu, why are you so oblivious? Why aren't you prioritizing Brother Yi? I can wait. "
" Don't! I can wait a moment. " Cao Mo said.
" How could I let Brother Mo wait? I'll just wait. " Tian Jiu said.
Cao Mo was truly helpless; these people really liked teasing him.
Lulu actually listened and came over to Cao Mo's side.
The brothers in Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room saw this, and the comments became even more lively:
" This is the real Brother Yi treatment! "
" Tian Jiu really wants to progress. "
" Bootlicker Jiu! "
" Good! Tian Jiu certainly has the right attitude. "
" My Brother Mo's position as Brother Yi is confirmed. "
" Where is Slop-Eating Long! He hasn't come to see Brother Yi yet! "
" Yesterday was just the first stream; if today's stream can maintain over 100k, that would be truly invincible, even Liuzi couldn't compare. "
...
Cao Mo checked the time and then said: " Master Jiu, I'm really in a rush. I need to shoot a video after getting styled. "
" No worries, no worries! Brother Mo, I have to criticize you. How many times have I said it? Just call me Xiao Jiu. Just bring Xiao Jiu along when you PK in the future, and that's OK. " Tian Jiu said.
" Don't say that, I need you to lead me in PKs! " Cao Mo replied.
Lulu asked at this moment: " Brother Yi, do you have any requirements? "
" Hmm... I'm going to rap later, just do whatever you think works! " Cao Mo thought for a moment and said.
Lulu thought about it after hearing this, then grabbed a blue square scarf with a white pattern from a stylist's corner coat rack. Folding the scarf, Lulu tied it around Cao Mo's forehead like a headband, then used a hairdryer to blow Cao Mo's silver-gray hair until it was fluffy.
After blowing it dry, Lulu sprayed some hairspray and said: " Alright, you can go to the Boss's office and get a pair of sunglasses. "
" No need, Brother Yi, just go straight to the recording room, I'll go get them for you! " Tong Jingchen said.
Cao Mo was too lazy to argue, so he got up and said to Xiao Yang beside him: " Sister Yang, I'm taking off. "
" Bye-bye! " Xiao Yang looked at Cao Mo and replied.
Cao Mo left the dressing room and went to the recording room. The song Cao Mo was recording today was none other than " Personal Profile, " which he had previously sung in Tong Jingchen's Livestream Room. After the shooting team was ready, Cao Mo put on the sunglasses, put on the headset, squatted on the stage, and started singing directly. Cao Mo's skills were naturally impeccable; he finished it without needing a second take. It was only six o'clock. So Cao Mo and Tong Jingchen left the company to have dinner.
Getting into Tong Jingchen's SF90, Tong Jingchen immediately spoke up: " You're going to shoot a blockbuster tomorrow, right! "
" I think so! Susu told me about it and even measured my chest, waist, and hip size. " Cao Mo replied.
" I'm going to shoot clothing tomorrow too, I'll come pick you up then. " Tong Jingchen said.
" OK! " Cao Mo replied.
" I'm going to Shancheng the day after tomorrow, and I won't be in Hangzhou for the next seven or eight days. " Tong Jingchen said.
" Going to Shancheng for an event, right! " Cao Mo said.
" Yeah! Dragging Zhilong and Nailu there for two days, then flying directly from Shancheng to Guizhou Province. You all need to go to Guizhou Province the day after tomorrow to do the group farming livestream; Susu will book your tickets. " Tong Jingchen said.
" Susu sent me a WeChat message saying she wants me to be a team leader and asked me to find a few team members. This is my first time participating in a group livestream; it wouldn't be appropriate for me to be a team leader, right! I don't know how, I have no experience. " Cao Mo said.
" What does having no experience matter? Learn by doing! " Tong Jingchen replied.
" Hey! That's not right! Weren't the team leaders already decided! Jie Ge, Zhilong, Zisheng, and Tian Jiu are the four team leaders. " Tong Jingchen said.
" That was before I arrived! Now that I'm here, the question is which team I should be assigned to. They're afraid they won't be able to beat me in PKs, so they want me to be a team leader and have Tian Jiu be my team member. " Cao Mo explained.
" So what do you think? " Tong Jingchen asked.
" I feel like since it's my first group livestream and I'm a newcomer, I shouldn't get involved in disputes. I'll just hang out in your team. " Cao Mo replied.
Tong Jingchen thought for a moment, then nodded and replied: " That works too. Then you can stay in my team. anyway, my team doesn't do PKs; it's just for the experience and fun. "
" Yes, and I'll have time to stream my own content at night. " Cao Mo said.
" Hey! I feel like you should just stream content in the future; you don't need to do PKs like them. " Tong Jingchen said.
Actually, doing PKs is quite detrimental to fan retention, and not many people are willing to watch it. Of course, PKs are definitely profitable. Just like Zhilong, Jie Ge, and them, including Zisheng, although they don't have many Douyin followers, they are considered top-tier streamers when it comes to PKs; they can even go up against Disney and Lin Siqi. Even Master Jiu has started relying on PKs to grind for Land Rover Range Rover fragments.
" My idea is to do PKs occasionally just to spice things up. " Cao Mo said.
Cao Mo definitely wouldn't make PKs his main content. What he wanted was popularity. Ads could be posted in the Livestream Room, short videos could also take ads, and he could attend events—these were all profitable gigs; he didn't necessarily have to do PKs.
" Yeah! That's for the best; you have to think long-term. You have potential, and you're young, unlike that bunch. Creating good content is the only way to last. " Tong Jingchen strongly agreed with Cao Mo's idea.
" I suggest you move your streaming time earlier, start at seven o'clock, don't do eight o'clock. " Tong Jingchen suggested again.
" I have that same thought; I'll tell the audience in my Livestream Room today. " Cao Mo replied.
