Chapter 549 Network Practitioners: Water Army

Chapter 558 Network Practitioners: Navy Army

‘Internet troll studios’ are a profession that exists as long as they exist in countries with Internet access. In South Korea, a place where the entertainment industry is so developed, the "Navy" studio has become even more prosperous. Spreading slander against celebrities on the Internet, spreading rumors to cause trouble, inciting public opinion to criticize celebrities, etc. ‘Navy troops’ can be seen everywhere.

Why do the trolls only target celebrities? Because if they target big companies or the political arena, they will be liquidated. Moreover, large companies have a group of employees in the network department.

Therefore, the trolls on the market can only target celebrity artists. Because of the artist's problems, they do not have to bear the serious consequences. Moreover, there are also things among brokerage companies that everyone is pushing against. If a big name exposes something negative, then it will lead to death.

Of course, the brokerage company will not be vegetarian. They will also invite a bunch of trolls to forcibly clean up their reputation on the Internet. As a result, the more frequent comments on the Internet are mostly wars between trolls. At this time, fans have become just like the masses. Well, this is nothing new.

The existence of the navy army is indeed easier to create a stir on the Internet, which is why Zhang Ping'an sought out the navy army. After all, what happened after Seolhyun signed the contract requires the promotion of the navy army to set the pace.

The person in charge of South Korea nodded and said to Zhang Ping'an in Chinese: "We do know a lot of Korean network studios on our platform, and there are a few that we can cooperate well with. Mr. Zhang, what do we want here...??"

The person in charge here has no idea why Zhang Pingan suddenly recruited the navy? But when he took a look at her sitting next to him, he seemed to understand a little bit. Could it be that the navy was here to cover up the spread of news about him and Kim Seol-hyun on the Internet?

Zhang Pingan said: "No matter what happens on the platform, you don't need to ask. When do you think we can make an appointment to talk?"

"It should be possible at any time. I'll make a call first..." As he said that, the person in charge took out his phone and started communicating with the people at the navy studio. When he learned that the person in charge of the studio could meet at any time, he covered the receiver and asked Zhang Pingan for his opinion. Zhang Pingan said that he would meet them at the Shilla Hotel in an hour and he would tell them the room number.

After making an appointment to meet with the navy, Zhang Ping'an said to the person in charge: "Let's go, let's go together, I just have something to ask you."

In addition to supervising the daily life of the platform, the person in charge of the platform in South Korea also has a very mysterious job.

A group of people came out of the office, and the person in charge was carrying a computer bag. After coming out of the company, Zhang Ping'an took out his phone and called the Shilla Hotel to make a reservation. Then the three of them set off towards the hotel.

When passing the bank on the way, Zhang Ping'an casually took 100 million won in cash.

In the hotel suite, Zhang Ping'an placed stacks of money on the table. The visual impact of the money made Seolhyun sitting next to him unable to help but pick up two stacks and shake them in his hands. She was a little confused. Why did Zhang Pingan suddenly withdraw so much cash? You know, last time, Zhang Ping'an gave her 100 million in pocket money, and so far she hasn't spent a penny of that money.

In the rest area, the person in charge took out the computer and opened a programming program inside to show to Zhang Ping'an: "Mr. Zhang, I got the application programming for the mobile live broadcast APP. Recently, I and the 'N station' Bian’s marketing department has talked about this matter three times. The progress is very good, and there is basically no big problem with the cooperation. Do we really want to set aside the platform and jointly operate the mobile live broadcast APP?”

Zhang Pingan said with a smile: "This is not to put aside, but to differentiate. Because the cost of finding celebrities to participate in the live broadcast in China is too high. The appearance fees in South Korea are really cheap, but you can spend money to get in. I don’t think it’s cost-effective. After all, there are too many idols in Korea, and they also need a promotion platform. You know, the idol community in Korea releases one or two videos every year. The purpose of our production is this. It is to allow them to do live broadcast promotion through our platform before releasing the film. It is obviously idols who do the promotion. If I still pay, then... my mobile live broadcast platform will lose its meaning. Use the traffic of celebrity idols to drive the development of the platform. However, our platform lacks such artist resources, so it is best to cooperate with 'N Station'. It doesn't matter if you suffer a little loss. Who is called 'N Station'? 'Woolen cloth."

Station N is indeed very big in South Korea. Its website includes search functions, news platforms, and video streaming media. Moreover, the ‘hot search’ function set up on their platform also attracts countless idols. The one who is an idol doesn’t want to be on trending searches? Of course, as long as the positive news hits the hot searches, it is good to be praised by the vast number of netizens.

The person in charge said with a smile: "At first I thought I would cooperate with 'Aifika'..."

Before the person in charge finished speaking, Zhang Ping'an laughed: "Both are live broadcast platforms, and their resources obviously overlap. What is the purpose of cooperation? Let's see who can swallow whom in the end? Even if we swallow "Aifika, how many people are there in this country? If there are 100,000 people who make live broadcasts and watch live broadcasts, how many of them are "vote-free parties"?"

The person in charge listened puzzled to Zhang Ping'an's new words: "White vote party?"

"Yeah, 'free ticket' means you enjoy the beautiful dance of others, but you don't pay. Isn't that just wanting free ticket? Don't you have to buy tickets to watch movies or listen to crosstalk?"

The person in charge listened to Zhang Ping'an's explanation and burst into laughter: "Hahaha, this word is classic and will definitely become a new word on the Internet."

Seolhyun could only watch Zhang Ping'an and the person in charge chatting and laughing dryly, and she didn't understand their Chinese communication at all.

The person in charge smiled and took two sips of water and said: "Then I will increase my efforts to follow up on this matter and discuss this cooperation project as soon as possible before the 'summer comeback' begins."

Summer comeback is the time chosen by some well-known groups to come back. Because there are so many activities in summer, artists need to use their comeback to create momentum for their groups before the summer activities start on the market, so as to be selected by the manufacturers who hold the activities. In this way, the idol groups also have new songs to meet their fans.

This is a kind of mutual benefit. After all, manufacturers choose well-known idols because of their own appeal. An event festival with the participation of well-known idols will definitely add a lot of color to the event and attract more people to participate.

Just then, the doorbell of the room rang, and the person in charge got up to open the door. The person in charge of the water army and his friends came to the suite together. After entering the room, they saw Zhang Pingan and immediately bowed and greeted him: "Hello, Representative Zhang."

The age of these two water army looks like college graduates at most. Because the unemployment rate of Korean universities is very high, it is difficult for computer graduates to find jobs. So they gathered together to form a studio, brushing orders, brushing data, participating in online speeches, etc.. As long as it is a profitable project, they will take it.

Especially the sound source brushing orders and brushing data, although these are fake, it is not said in law that this is illegal. Because of the sound source brushing orders, they have all opened paid memberships. These are all real recharges and payments to the sound source platform that needs to brush orders, which is why the sound source platform will turn a blind eye to the brushing results in the future.

The studio that faked the orders had at least 50,000 VIP users. Of course, some of them were stolen users, but they had real money entering the music source platform.

The platform only cares about whether it can make money. As for the fraud in the music source repurchase, what does it have to do with our platform?

Zhang Pingan smiled and stretched out his hand to guide the two young people to sit down: "Sit down, sit down and chat."

"Uh..." Because after they walked in, they saw two ten stacks of "cash towers" on the table, 100 million cash, which was a big shock. As for Kim Seolhyun sitting next to Zhang Pingan, they were just a little surprised to see Seolhyun when they came in, but their attention was soon attracted by the money. For them, "money" is much more beautiful than Seolhyun.

Looking at the eyes of the two, Zhang Pingan smiled and picked up a stack of 50 million cash from the table and put it in front of them: "I heard from our person in charge that our platform and your studio have cooperated well recently. Next, I may need a little help from you. The promotion of the network trend, can your studio take over this business?"

Money, in front of them, although tempted, but not to say that they dare to take any messy business. So the people in this studio asked Zhang Pingan: "What is it?"

"Not long ago, I invested in FNC's stocks, and today Seolhyun signed a one-year endorsement contract with SK Telecom. So I want you to build momentum on the Internet after her advertisement comes out and push Seolhyun to the hot search position. If you can't take this business, I will go to N Station to talk directly."

It is no secret to find 'N Station' to buy hot search. Many platforms with hot search positions can use 'money' to buy hot search positions. Of course, after the purchased hot search is up, it cannot cause too much heated discussion, so the time it stays on the hot search position will not be too long.

Hearing that it was to help Seolhyun get on the hot search, which was their long-term business, the studio staff immediately smiled and said: "We can take this business. We can definitely do it well, and we have cooperated with the agency many times on entertainment matters."

Zhang Pingan completely pushed the 50 million to them: "This is a deposit, I will contact you for the specific operation, and I will give you another 50 million afterwards!"

"Okay, okay, thank you representative Zhang."

Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "By the way, do you brush the audio source?"

"Uh... this..."

Looking at their hesitation, Zhang Pingan smiled and said: "It seems that the people around me don't need to brush the audio source, I'm just asking."
