I'm About to Bankrupt My Way to Entertainment Supremo

Get ready for a wild ride of humour, contrasts, and laid-back entertainment like you've never seen before! Xplendi Entertainment, a company that barely made it past its early years, went from the brink of bankruptcy to becoming a powerhouse in the entertainment industry. It boasts a star-studded lineup of top-tier streamers, a constellation of original music stars, and more award-winning actors and actresses than you can count. As the mastermind behind it all, Yang RuoQian naturally becomes the enigmatic kingpin behind the scenes of this showbiz extravaganza. "Mr. Yang, can you share your secret to success?" Yang Ruoqian, rubbing his temples, responds, "Is it possible that I never even thought they could become famous...?" "I initially just wanted to chillax and loss some money, you know."

A Perfect Plan

"As a man, you can wear just shorts when dancing," Yang Ruoqian struggled to hold back his laughter and said with a serious tone, "Can female streamer do that? No. That's your advantage, understand?"

 

So that's how it is.

 

Except for a few minor things seem bizarre, it seems like he's right.

 

Huang Rushi's mind was still processing, and he said woodenly, "Boss, you're absolutely right."

 

"Very well," Yang Ruoqian nodded. "Now, let's talk about your salary. Since you're a new streamer with no existing audience, we can offer you a base salary of 8,000 after tax and deduct 10% from your live stream earnings. Is that acceptable?"

 

Acceptable? They're offering 8,000!

 

Is this what they call acceptable?

 

Before coming here, Huang Rushi's expectation for a base salary was only 1,000!

 

Is this his true value? Has he finally found someone who recognizes his talent?

 

After hesitating for a while and making sure his ears weren't playing tricks on him, Huang Rushi excitedly said, "No problem, Mr. Yang!"

 

"If you have no objections to the salary, it's settled. The basic benefits such as insurance, working hours, and weekends off are a must," Yang Ruoqian took out a labour contract from the drawer, signed his name, and handed it to Huang Rushi. "You'll officially start tomorrow."

 

Being a streamer is unlike any other profession. Four hours of live streaming is already substantial.

 

But with all kinds of benefits, a four-hour workday, and weekends off?

 

Officially starting without a probation period?

 

Is this what it's like to work for a big company?

 

After signing the contract and completing the onboarding process at Xplendi Entertainment, Huang Rushi felt a sense of daze and surrealism.

 

A job with a high base salary and generous commissions, and it's so straightforward to obtain?

 

It's no different from just going through the procedures.

 

If it weren't for seeing Gao Naiyun working at this company, Huang Rushi would have almost suspected that he'd entered a scam company.

 

"With a boss like this, with a company like this..." Huang Rushi glanced at the contract in his hand and made a determined promise, "I must work hard to achieve success and not let Mr. Yang down!"

 

...

 

"This time, I don't believe you can disappoint my trust," Yang Ruoqian said with a smug smile, watching Huang Rushi leave.

 

In the world of live streaming, the biggest difference between male and female streamers is that female streamers often attract super-rich sponsors due to their appearance, leveraging the sponsor's financial capacity to climb the charts and gain more visibility.

 

It's common to see two or three people supporting an entire streaming room.

 

The key factors here are appearance and luck, and talent plays a negligible role. A bit of showmanship is usually enough.

 

Male streamers, on the other hand, rarely have such opportunities. Finding a rich woman is much more challenging than finding a rich man.

 

To stand out, it's best to have exceptional skills, especially in gaming. Dance is less common in male streamers. The dance section on live streaming platforms is dominated by female streamers.

 

That's because men who can dance usually have good looks and would choose a career in entertainment industry rather than live streaming.

 

Female streamers can wear seductive outfits while dancing, as long as they don't cross certain lines. This naturally attracts viewers, especially those who are interested in female streamers.

 

However, an unattractive and overweight man dancing shirtless is simply off-putting.

 

Moreover, established streamers generally don't visit the rooms of unknown male streamers, reducing the chances of "unexpected situations."

 

This is precisely what Yang Ruoqian wants to achieve.

 

After thorough market research and a comprehensive analysis of the live streaming audience, Yang Ruoqian has a unique understanding of how to fail at live streaming.

 

Show what the audience loves to see!

 

Trigger every possible negative reaction!

 

No, that's not enough.

 

Learning from the painful lesson of his previous success, Yang Ruoqian is leaving nothing to chance.

 

He personally selects the live streaming time, the location, and even the camera angles.

 

For live streaming time, he chooses the darkest and least-visited hours, ideally during the late night when most people are asleep. Few people watch live streams during this time, and even if they do, they won't come to see a shirtless male dancer.

 

Then, he selects the live streaming location. Learning from past mistakes, he plans to choose a dimly lit, deserted street as Huang Rushi's dance stage.

 

The last piece of the puzzle is the camera work.

 

What's Huang Rushi's main drawback?

It's his dark complexion and plump physique!

 

By zooming in and out on Huang Rushi's face and body, repeatedly focusing the camera, viewers will be inadvertently drawn to him, amplifying their discomfort and making the live stream more unbearable.

 

Additionally, the UI interface for the live stream can include titles like "Expensive Gifts for Dancing" and similar provocative elements. Even established streamers who use such titles are often criticized by viewers for their greed, let alone a newcomer.

 

"Perfect plan, no flaws, no blind spots," Yang Ruoqian smirks.

 

With a live streaming plan that's designed to disgust the audience in every possible way, the top rewards from the system should be within reach.

 

Yang Ruoqian is delighted with his plan when, suddenly, the sound of high heels approaching the office can be heard.

 

Two seconds later, the office door swings open, and Chang Zhiqing, wearing a sleek professional outfit, walks in.

 

With a face full of helplessness, she slams her hands on the desk and leans down to look Yang Ruoqian in the eyes, her complex emotions almost spilling out, "Yang Ruoqian! My dear boss, you're offering that guy 8,000 as a base salary?"

 

This posture... In Yang Ruoqian's view, what kind of scene is this? He doesn't need to say it to know.

 

She does have an impressive figure.

 

Although they're quite familiar with each other, it's a bit early for such a scene. Yang Ruoqian shifts his gaze slightly and clears his throat, "Zhiqing, please consider your appearance in the office."

 

Chang Zhiqing finally realizes how bold her posture was and blushes, quickly covering her chest with her hands and saying, embarrassed, "Get back to business!"

 

Ah, Chang Zhiqing, who usually acts like one of the guys, is showing such an expression.

 

Just with this little incident, Yang Ruoqian has already prepared a set of twisted logic, "Zhiqing, I've always been saying that we need differentiation. As a small company and a small streamer, we must avoid competition and learn to target audiences that are often overlooked."

 

"Boss," Chang Zhiqing covers her chest, leaning closer, "So, what kind of show do you plan to have him do to carve out a new track to complete those established internet personals?"
