Chapter 107: The Art of Plating! Doesn't it look like a generous portion?

At the same time, many influencers signed with Spark Media also received advertising contracts.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name. For Taiwan novels, look for the super-reliable one.]

Most of them were part-time influencers.

For example, they might live stream after coming home from work.

Or share their refined lives on Xiaohongshu when they had free time.

Or take some time to make and share videos.

Some simply liked to share, providing industry insights or life experiences.

Some liked to show off and enjoyed the feeling of being praised by fans.

Some just wanted to earn a little extra money to supplement their living expenses!

Of course, they also had the desire to become famous.

They wanted to earn more money, to be recognized, and to escape a boring, tedious life that offered little hope.

Their follower counts ranged from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.

As for taking ads, as long as it wasn't a counterfeit or inferior product and didn't go against their principles, they were very proactive.

No one would turn down money; after all, competition was so fierce now that they had to scramble for many ad deals!

Ning Xiujing was delighted when she received the advertising request from Spark Media.

She had signed with Spark Media on a whim, and she actually felt a bit of regret afterward.

After all, some MCN Companies were truly heartless; after signing a massive number of newcomers, they often wouldn't provide any support or guidance, just waiting to reap the rewards once an influencer became popular!

But she later found that Spark Media was quite good and actually provided her with traffic support.

There were also staff members to guide her, create a development plan suitable for her, and point out her shortcomings.

Every month, they would help her secure some commercial deals, allowing her to earn some extra cash.

Even if a brand or another MCN Company approached her directly for an ad without using Spark Media's resources,

Spark Media would still help her with the negotiations and would proactively reduce their own commission.

Although it might only be a few hundred yuan, it made Ning Xiujing very happy!

Compared to other MCN Companies in the industry that couldn't wait to bleed small influencers like them dry, Spark Media was simply a godsend!

The payment for this ad was only three thousand, which was lower than her previous quotes.

But she didn't care; it was good enough just to have an ad to take!

Three thousand yuan could cover her rent for the month.

Moreover, Spark Media had mentioned that this snack company had a strong background and wasn't short on money.

If she did a good job this time, there would surely be a next time.

She had to take this seriously!

Rongcheng, Haobaijia Snack Franchise Store.

Two young girls entered the shop and stood before the shelves filled with snacks, picking and choosing.

They picked out two bags of pickled chicken feet and two bags of nuts, finally setting their sights on the beef snacks.

"Jiuxiang Hand-shredded Beef, is this a new brand?"

"Probably, I haven't really heard of it before!"

The girl wearing glasses asked, "Should we try it?"

"What if it's not good?"

So, the girl with glasses took the Hand-shredded Beef and looked at the female owner of the snack shop:

"Boss, is this Hand-shredded Beef good?"

They frequented this snack shop and were considered regulars by the owner.

Besides, the shop owner wasn't much older than them.

"It's delicious!"

The female owner nodded earnestly.

"Really?"

The female owner kicked out the trash can from under her feet: "Take a look!"

The two girls looked into the trash can... it was full of Hand-shredded Beef packaging bags.

The girl with glasses couldn't help but laugh: "Boss, if you eat like this, aren't you afraid of eating your shop into bankruptcy?"

"I only opened a snack shop because I love eating snacks!" the young female owner said helplessly. "Work was too tiring, so back then I just wanted to open a shop and stay put!"

"You make me want to open a shop too!"

The female owner shook her head: "Once you open a shop, you'll find it's even more tiring... you're better off working for someone else!"

"Is it really that bad? I think you look quite relaxed!"

"Relaxed?" The female owner scratched her hair and said, "I have too many things to worry about: rent, settlements, stock, and I can't leave this shop. I feel like an earthbound spirit. Luckily, this shop still makes some money; otherwise, it would be even worse!"

"Why don't you hire someone to watch the shop?"

"I'd have to pay them a salary!"

"Fair enough! Then we'll try this Hand-shredded Beef too!"

"Jiuxiang's beef snacks are all quite good; the taste should be top-tier in the country," the young female owner recommended. "Anyway, I've tried many brands of Hand-shredded Beef, and none are as good as Jiuxiang's."

"Mm!"

At Jiuxiang Food Company, early in the morning, Su Yang walked into the office and saw an employee watching a video of beautiful women—rows of bikini-clad girls, a sea of pale skin...

He gently tapped the employee's shoulder, and the employee's body gave a start.

The employee turned around with difficulty and saw his big boss standing behind him.

"Bo... Boss!"

"Ren Yu, you should really hurry up and find a girlfriend," Su Yang reminded him. "Also, don't play this kind of thing in the office."

"Boss, this is an ad!" Ren Yu said, caught between laughter and tears. "Spark Media sent it over, asking if we're satisfied."

"An ad?"

Su Yang looked at the computer screen again, and the camera happened to be focused on... Yin Wenyu.

He saw Yin Wenyu "accidentally" spill red oil beef onto her chest.

He saw the red oil flowing down her fair skin...

His eyebrow twitched!

This... this person's style was truly too intense; no matter what video she filmed, it was always the same routine!

Ren Yu also looked at the screen and couldn't help but swallow hard.

Su Yang remained relatively calm; Yin Wenyu did indeed look quite well-endowed.

But compared to Qin Shuang, she still fell short!

He frowned slightly: "Is it okay to film like this?"

"It is, it's fine!" Ren Yu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

Su Yang asked irritably, "How is it fine?"

Ren Yu cut the footage back, freezing the frame on the image of the beef piled on Yin Wenyu's chest, and pointed at the screen:

"Boss, look... by filming it like this, doesn't it make our beef snacks look like a very generous portion?"

"Uh..."

The portion size of beef snacks was something everyone understood; they were sold by the gram!

After Ren Yu's prompt, Su Yang couldn't help but nod: "Indeed, it's just like how hotpot restaurants plate duck intestines and ox tripe; it looks like a lot, but there's actually a large cabbage leaf padded underneath!"

Though the "cabbage leaf" Yin Wenyu used as padding was even more exaggerated!

"Exactly! Boss is wise!!" Ren Yu quickly flattered him. "Boss, your analogy is perfect. That's exactly what I was thinking, but I just couldn't explain it clearly!"

"Keep watching."

"Okay!"

Ren Yu clicked play, and the video continued. After Su Yang finished watching the whole thing, he felt a bit of admiration for Yin Wenyu.

To be able to turn a perfectly normal snack ad into something borderline X-rated, she was truly a talent!

Ren Yu said with a smile, "I think this ad video is well-filmed; it has a lot of character!"

Su Yang used Business Deduction on this ad video and found that its impact on Jiuxiang Food wasn't very large, so he didn't plan on having Spark Media reshoot it.

Yin Wenyu's current follower count was limited; it would be hard for her to have a massive influence!

Her potential might peak at 2 million followers.

To make the influence spread further, it would require the authorities to step in personally.

Or for their Spark Media to push it with all their might.

But Su Yang felt it wasn't necessary!

After all, Jiuxiang Food wasn't coconut milk.

Coconut milk is highly nutritious and can be drunk from childhood to adulthood; their ads can always be suggestive.

Beef snacks didn't have those attributes; it was better to focus on them being healthy and nutritious food!

Su Yang pointed at the video and said, "Delete the part at the end where those two young girls use their mouths, then give it to Mr. Tan to look at. Don't make it too suggestive!"

"Okay, Boss!"

Although Ren Yu felt it was a bit of a pity, he could also understand the boss's meaning.
