99: Chapter 99 Jiang Yan's Development Direction! A Heart-to-Heart Talk with Gong Zihao!

After Jiang Yan left, Su Yang took a look at the data reports for the several internet celebrities at Spark Media.

Dai Jiaying's development momentum remained good, and she had not yet reached her growth ceiling.

She was inherently mature, straightforward, and generous, making her very popular at Spark Media.

Coupled with her master-level makeup skills, master-level acting skills, and other abilities.

For the foreseeable future, she would remain an important pillar of Spark Media.

Besides Dai Jiaying, Gong Zihao had the strongest development momentum among the five people Su Yang had signed!

That's the benefit of taking an unconventional path; there isn't much competition.

Next was Yin Wenyu; welfare cosplayers were popular everywhere.

Especially on Bilibili, where male users were the majority.

Li Xiang, Xia Jingshu, and Duan Hongyu were all of the steady and reliable type.

Su Yang valued Duan Hongyu quite highly.

The company had already signed several internet celebrity influencers who were good at acting and had distinctive looks, based on his requirements.

In the future, they could form a production crew, mainly to film short workplace dramas.

Once Duan Hongyu became famous, the other newly signed talents would also benefit!

He really appreciated talented people!

Compared to internet celebrity influencers, he actually valued behind-the-scenes staff more.

Sudden popularity was only temporary.

Continuous output of high-quality content was the lifeblood of the company's long-term prosperity.

Most internet celebrity influencers did not become famous overnight.

Instead, they relied on the support of their behind-the-scenes teams to continuously produce high-quality content and slowly accumulate fans.

These people had the most mature personalities and were less likely to face PR disasters.

Their professional skills were solid, they were the most numerous, and they would not easily leave the company; they were the cornerstone of the company's development.

In the Business Deduction, the people Su Yang signed could all reach over a million fans.

But this was certainly thanks to the contributions of Yu Siying and other behind-the-scenes employees!

If Spark Media were just a shell company without the assistance of a group of experienced employees like Yu Siying.

Even the most outstanding talent might find it difficult to succeed in the Business Deduction!

Li Xiang's development, however, might be somewhat limited.

The historical war content he excelled at was not suitable for mainstream platforms like Douyin or Xiaohongshu.

But Su Yang didn't mind; the historical war content was enough for him to do for many years.

Even if he got tired of it, he could completely transition into directing and writing.

After Su Yang finished looking at the data, Yu Siying entered his office.

"Boss, how do you plan to train Jiang Yan?"

"What do you think?"

"Her looks, I guess!" Yu Siying thought for a moment, "Her figure is a bit... exaggerated. It would be easier to gain followers if she dances."

It was indeed quite exaggerated!

When he was talking to Jiang Yan, he didn't dare to look around indiscriminately.

Su Yang shook his head: "That path is too crowded. Anyone who feels they have decent looks goes down that road, and people are starting to get aesthetic fatigue."

"Then what does the boss mean?"

"A cosplayer!"

"Two-dimensional style?"

"Yes!"

Su Yang nodded seriously.

Yu Siying hadn't realized that cosplayers were also her limitation.

She was more traditional and was better at training influencers based on looks and livestream sales hosts.

She wasn't very skilled with the two-dimensional subculture or femboys.

However, she adjusted quite quickly.

Even if she didn't know how to train them herself, she would go and poach people who were skilled at it!

"I understand!" Yu Siying nodded, "I will have her develop in that direction, but our main focus right now is still Gong Zihao!"

Su Yang thought for a moment and said: "That works. Please hire a teacher to train her first!"

Yu Siying's thoughts coincided with his own.

Gong Zihao, whose loyalty exceeded 90, looked much more reliable than Jiang Yan.

"How much was Gong Zihao's income last month?"

Su Yang recalled when salaries were paid on the 7th, and Gong Zihao's loyalty to the company had directly broken 90.

"Gong Zihao received almost twenty thousand!"

"What is he doing now?"

"Taking training classes!"

Su Yang checked the time and said: "Have him come over. I have some things I want to discuss with him!"

"Alright, Boss!"

Not long after, Gong Zihao arrived at Su Yang's office.

"Boss!"

Gong Zihao called out respectfully.

"Sit!"

Su Yang pointed to the chair opposite him.

"Alright!"

Su Yang also noticed that Gong Zihao had changed a lot compared to before.

Not only was his clothing more trendy, but he himself had also become more confident and natural.

He looked like a handsome young man, though his eyebrows were a bit thin.

Money could indeed change a person!

"How is work lately?"

"Very good!" Gong Zihao said with some excitement.

"How are you spending your salary?"

Gong Zihao said awkwardly: "I still have a little left!"

Su Yang couldn't help but laugh: "How did you spend it?"

Gong Zihao answered honestly: "I sent some money to my mother, and the rest I used to buy some clothes and shoes, and I also got a new phone..."

"Then if I gave you more money, how would you spend it?"

Gong Zihao shook his head: "I don't know!"

Su Yang smiled and said: "Do you want to hear my advice?"

"I'd love to!"

Gong Zihao said very sincerely.

"In the future, when you have money, you can buy a nice car, and other consumption is also appropriate!" Su Yang thought for a moment and said, "However, I suggest you save at least half of your salary every month."

Gong Zihao could earn twenty thousand now, and would only earn more in the future; he would definitely be able to save money!

"Save half?"

"Many internet celebrities stop being popular after a while!" Su Yang explained, "The lifecycle of this profession is relatively short, you should know that, so you need to plan for the future."

"Then should I put it in a three or five-year fixed deposit?"

"That works!"

"I understand, Boss!"

"Also, don't get involved with pornography, gambling, or drugs... and don't touch stocks either!" Su Yang warned, "If you become famous, girls will definitely express their love for you, and many friends will ask you to hang out. They might not all have good intentions, so you need to learn to distinguish them."

"Yes!"

Gong Zihao didn't quite understand, but he remembered it!

Seeing that Gong Zihao was so obedient, Su Yang added a few more words: "You must learn more and keep improving to last long in this industry. When you have time, learn more about makeup and improve yourself. Even if you can't be an internet celebrity later, you can be a makeup artist, which will also be convenient for livestream sales in the future!"

"If you have any issues, just ask President Yu directly; she values you highly. You should live relatively close to Li Xiang and Duan Hongyu, so you can ask them for advice often!"

"Alright!" Gong Zihao said with a smile, "I live next door to Teacher Li and Brother Duan!"

"Yes!"

After Gong Zihao left, Su Yang called Li Xiang, Xia Jingshu, and Duan Hongyu over for a heart-to-heart, and asked Li Xiang and Duan Hongyu to look after Gong Zihao a little.

Li Xiang and Duan Hongyu both indicated they would look after their little brother.

Seeing them give their word, Su Yang felt a bit more at ease!

Gong Zihao was too young, and suddenly going from poverty to "wealth" might lead to problems!

Li Xiang and Duan Hongyu: one was a former history teacher with rich teaching experience who was well-versed in world history and Chinese history.

The other was a middle-aged corporate slave who had struggled in society and worked in hotel management, possessing rich social experience... There was no reason they couldn't guide a fledgling kid well!

As for the others, Su Yang was a bit more at ease.

Yin Wenyu was not there; she had run off to the seaside to film welfare content for the netizens.

Sometimes, Su Yang even envied her.

As someone from inland, he had never even seen the sea!

He chatted with the several newcomers he had signed for a while.

After some thought, Su Yang called Dai Jiaying, Niu Zhitong, and the other internet celebrity influencers present at the company over to chat, to show that he valued them!

After the relaxed chat ended, Su Yang got off work.

However, after he left, most of the people at Spark Media did not leave.

Su Yang didn't say anything.

But he felt that Spark Media was already running smoothly.

He could continue to recruit more people; it would be best to first expand the staff size to one hundred!
