Chapter 502 – Mother Gu was enraged all over again. (2)
[Ivy, this is simply incredible! What an amazing surprise! I thought the boss lady was involved in this one. C’mon, be real with me. Did you hire a ringer for her?]
[Oh, right! We are going to push sales on the Imperial City – Great Wall tour next. Cultural topics surrounding the Imperial City had been hot lately. Can you do a similar video for that too? How about a transmigration themed one? I think girls will like that a lot. Some imperial drama with multiple boys. Can you do that?]
Ivy was speechless. She was shaking from excitement while listening to the voice messages.
She clicked on the video again immediately!
The distress she felt when she was standing in front of the glass door was all gone.
As it turned out, the boss lady was no flower in a glasshouse. She was a well-concealed domineering flower!
Ivy felt very emotional. She watched the video almost 20 times that night. Gu Shishi, on the other hand, was sound asleep.
She felt no stress at all. Most of what her creation this week was used in the video. She had checked with Siyi previously and learned that 80% of their income derived from the mobile end. Almost nobody used the desktop version.
As such, the outcome of her creation would not move the needle one way or another. She felt quite carefree.
She did have to contact the original creator of the guzheng piece and purchased the copyright form her. There was an expense associated with the video clip. If, in the end, they were not able to sell any of the products, Huo Sishen would have to cover that expense himself.
Gu Shishi let the man sleeping next to her know of the roughly 10,000 yuan expense before she rolled over and fell asleep.
She never would have thought that Purple Bamboo, the guzheng piece that she found on a website with very limited traffic, played by an university student would become a big hit on Tik Tok a week later.
And the short video that she had created had been reposted by many websites and art accounts and was referred to as The Transmigrated Trip to 1,000 Years Ago.
It was a ridiculous price but sales were going up and up and continued to exceed others’ expectations.
All the way until she got up groggily the next day, went with Huo Sishen to the office and was casually drawing willow branches in her own office did Ivy get ahold of her on the chatting app did she find out that the video that she had created had become the next hottest thing!
[Ivy: Hi, do you think you will be able to do a special video clip for a capital tour as well? We will be releasing it from our company account and Weibo.]
Ivy had switched to the respectful form of “you” now.
Her contempt for the vase boss lady from a day ago was all gone.
Gu Shishi looked at all the raves about her video on all the different accounts.
Truth was, ever since the clip had become hot last night, Ivy watched it a few times and reached out to their Public Relation department first thing this morning. They had since contacted a few internet influences for more promotions.
And it exploded like fireworks!
[Surely.]
Gu Shishi peeked through the crack at Huo Sishen, who was very focused on his work. She was interested.
The structures of Imperial City, the ancient walls around it… … She had painted those plenty of times in the past and could painting them with her eyes closed.
[Ivy: Can we use Tour of the Imperial City with Yinzhen as the theme?]
This was very different than the “we have no specific request” from the previous time. This time the Art Department had very specific requests.
Gu Shishi’s eyes beamed.
Portraits in combination with ancient structures was her main focus lately.
Outlining the majestic ancient past from the perspective of a young girl was very interesting and she would love to give that a try.
[Okay.]
She replied quicky and with alacrity.
Ivy, on the other side of the screen, finally let out a sigh of relief.
