Time passed. There were only three days left until October 1st.
As the launch date of the live broadcast was getting closer and closer, under Li Yang's instructions, all kinds of publicity methods were used by the company.
Whether it was on TV, in the newspapers, or on the news websites, the news of the grand launch on October 1st at 9 am could be seen everywhere.
At the same time, the official website of TT Live also announced to the outside world that the software could also be downloaded.
Before the live streaming service was launched, according to the statistics, the total number of viewers on the official website of TT Live was more than 6 million, the download volume of the live streaming software was as high as 710,000, and the registered users were close to 150,000.
This number was already very heaven-defying, and it could be said to be the prelude to becoming famous.
Of course, the reason why they could achieve such results before the live broadcast business went online was because of the celebrity effect.
Under the contact of Woodpecker, a total of ten superstars would be broadcasted from October 1st to 10th. Each live broadcast would last for two hours.
According to the timeline, the ten superstars were Michael Jackson, Schwarzenegger, Angelina, Jordan, Madona, Jim Carrey, Leonardo, Will Smith, Mira, and others.
In order to invite these ten people, just for the two-hour live broadcast, the company had spent a total of nearly 20 million dollars.
Among them, the one with the highest appearance fee was none other than Michael Jackson, the king of pop! He alone took up a quarter of the appearance fee, five million dollars for two hours!
In the current global entertainment industry, although Michael had retired for a long time, neither releasing new songs nor holding concerts, his nearly one billion fans still beat the world's biggest stars. No one could compete with him, and he was definitely a big shot in the Omi music industry.
Of course, after paying such a huge price, the money was not so easy to get. These 10 superstars had to come to the TV company to start the live broadcast on the day of the broadcast and maintain it for two hours.
As for the content of the live broadcast, he didn't care if it was to chat with the audience in front of the camera. He just needed to chat for two hours.
The celebrity effect was undoubtedly huge, especially on the day Michael Jackson started broadcasting. His audience was enough to beat the nine people behind him.
……………
At the same time, in the reports of the major media outlets, there was an endless stream of information about the ten superstars appearing on the air one after another. They were reported every day.
Huanmi Entertainment reported to the heavens that the King of Pop had actually accepted the invitation of the TT live broadcast company. He would be starting a live broadcast on October 1st at 1 p.m. to meet the audience. Could it be that the King of Pop, who had retired for many years, was about to make a comeback? This is really good news. I can still vaguely remember the grand occasion when Mike ruled the pop music industry at the end of the last century…
From October 1st to October 10th, there would be one superstar every day, and each time, the live broadcast would last for two hours. Even the editor could not wait to download the TT live broadcast software…
Although the celebrity effect of the Silicon Valley Morning Post could attract a large number of viewers, celebrities could not live broadcast forever. Once this craze passed, TT Live would instantly fall into a situation where no one cared about it. 10 superstars, a total of 20 million yuan appearance fee, Li Yang really did not treat money as money. He did not understand the Internet at all. Loyal users were the core of an Internet company…
Our financial genius has once again shocked the United States. I hope his celebrity live broadcast plan can achieve the expected results. Otherwise, the 20 million dollars spent is not worth it…
From the 1st to the 10th of the New York Times, the ten superstars would arrive at the Platts Tower in turn and start a live broadcast at the TT live broadcast company. Other times were not certain, but on the 1st, perhaps the entire Wall Street would be crowded because Mike's influence was too great. No one could surpass him…
Tens of millions of Americans were excited by the media's reports.
"God, I live near Wall Street. I must go to the Platts Building on October 1st. I want to rush to Mike and ask for an autograph…"
"Angelina and Mira are both my goddesses. If they want to livestream, then won't I be able to see them on the computer?”
"Not only can I see them, but I can also hear them talking and even chat with them. I heard that there's a bullet screen function for live broadcasts. You can send text messages for the streamer to see…"
" Don't say anything else. Go download a live broadcast and register an account. Only registered users can post bullet comments…"
" Everyone, please pay attention to me. I'm a female streamer from the TT Live Broadcasting Company. I've even signed a contract with a female streamer. My streamer's name is Blue Elf…"
"What Blue Elf? Go play somewhere else. Who has the time to pay attention to you?”
…………………
At this moment, Li Yang had just arrived at the Platts building. As soon as he got out of the car, a large group of reporters carrying cameras and holding microphones rushed over like ferocious tigers pouncing on their prey.
"Mr. Li, many Internet experts have made comments about you. They said that the host recruitment plan and celebrity live broadcast plan that you promoted were nonsense. Some people even mocked you loudly.”
"Mr. Li, will Mike really start the live broadcast on October 1st? And the other nine superstars?"
"Mr. Li, before the live broadcast of TT goes online, the company has already spent 70 million dollars. When will they be able to earn back the money?”
" Mr. Li…"
The reporters who were stopped by the bodyguards looked excited. They squeezed forward and fought to ask questions, afraid that they would fall behind.
"Boss, should we blast them away?”Zhang Zhen felt a headache coming on. He hated these troublesome reporters the most. These people were like dog skin plasters that he could not shake off.
"Forget it. The live broadcast is about to go online. I still need these reporters to help me promote it!”Li Yang smiled helplessly. Although he was disgusted, he had to give the reporters face and accept their interview.
" Everyone, quiet down first…" Li Yang made a quiet gesture. After the reporters stopped making noise, he took a step forward and said loudly,""My time is limited. I can only answer three questions.”
Upon hearing this, a female reporter was as swift as the wind and immediately asked,"Mr. Li, there are still three days until the launch of TT Livestream. On the day of launch, how many views do you expect the official website of TT Livestream to receive? And how many downloads could the live streaming software get? How many registered users would MT get?”
" No one can say for sure what will happen in the future. Maybe there will be many people, maybe there will be very few…" Li Yang could not give a definite answer, so he could only brush it off.
Even though he was a transmigrator, he couldn't accurately predict the final outcome until the day he went online. After all, no one could be sure about this kind of thing. It was now 2005, not 2010.
"Mr. Li, in order to invite the 10 superstars to start broadcasting, MT Company spent a total of 20 million dollars. Do you think this money is worth it?”A bespectacled male reporter asked this question.
" There's no doubt that these 10 superstars have a huge fan base in the US, especially Mike. As long as these 10 superstars can pull in 1 million registered users for TT Live, the 20 million dollars will be worth it. If it exceeds 1 million, it will be a profit..." Li Yang replied unhurriedly.
As a businessman, who would make a loss?
Based on Li Yang's calculations, Michael Jackson alone could pull in tens of millions of traffic.
Using 5 million to exchange for tens of millions of traffic, even if only one-twentieth of it was left, it was still a huge profit.
"Mr. Li, many Internet experts are not optimistic about the company and think that it will fail. However, many venture capital institutions have raised the valuation of the company to 300 million gold. Do you think this valuation is too high or too low?”Another reporter asked.
"300 million meters of gold? Is this a joke?"
Li Yang smiled disdainfully." At present, TT Live has not officially launched yet. The total number of viewers on the official website of TT Live has reached more than 6 million. The download volume of the software has reached 710,000, and the number of registered users is close to 150,000. What a dazzling number."”
" According to my estimation, on October 1st, the number of viewers on the official website of TT Livestream will reach tens of millions. The number of downloads of the software will exceed five million, and the number of registered users will likely increase tenfold…"
"Once all of this is realized, on the day when MT livestream goes online, including its growth potential, its valuation will exceed one billion meters of gold!”
When Li Yang said this, many reporters couldn't help but laugh. You really know how to brag!
Looking at the world, how long did it take for an internet company to grow from its founding to its valuation of 1 billion gold?
How was this possible?
"Mr. Li, according to rumors, you have a special relationship with the signed actress Scarlet of Woodpecker Company. Is that true?”An entertainment reporter asked excitedly.
"I don't know what you're talking about. Don't spout nonsense without evidence. Otherwise, you'll receive a court summons…"
Li Yang's face turned cold and he said impatiently,""You have finished asking three questions. Please move aside and don't obstruct my public freedom!”
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Li Yang's bodyguards immediately pushed the reporters back and formed a human wall.
The reporters were very tactful. They did not continue to rush forward, but made way for him.
Reporters were not fools. They knew how to control the heat and would not go too far.
After all, most of their interviewees were rich and powerful. If you offended them too much, they would have the time to deal with you. At that time, you wouldn't be able to cry even if you wanted to.
