You know, as a streamer, the hardest stage for gaining followers is reaching the first ten thousand fans. It's like a snowball effect; once you have the base, you can roll faster and bigger!

Thanks to the early warm-up on the public account, setting up a professional live streaming venue, and high-definition bobber viewing equipment, Zhang Yang was able to accomplish in less than one morning what ordinary fishing streamers need at least a month or two to accumulate: the base of the first ten thousand followers!

If platform operators or some MCN bosses saw these debut show data, they'd probably go crazy!

...

At the Yingke Live company operations department, Liu Xingyun was still focused on the key accounts selected from the software backend.

At this moment, an employee handed over a newly printed report to Liu Xingyun.

"Boss, another outdoor fishing account's debut data has exploded! I've prepared a detailed report. Would you like to take a look?"

"Data exploded? Debut?" Liu Xingyun immediately felt curious upon hearing this.

As an executive in the operations department, Liu Xingyun knew well how difficult it was for a new account without a fan base to start.

If a debut show data explodes, it has to be either a stunning beauty in the appearance area, or the result of a professional MCN company cultivating and packaging all the operations. Doing it solo is as hard as climbing the sky.

But MCN internet celebrity companies aren't charities; they promote their own hosts to become famous and make money, not to serve the people!

Talent streamers in the singing, dancing, entertainment appearance area are the main source of platform traffic!

In a vertical category like outdoor streaming fishing, unless someone's got a screw loose, no one would spend massive resources to promote a host!

Given this situation, having a streamer gain over 9,000 followers from a debut show, all with high activity, is truly outstanding.

"Wild Fishing World?" Liu Xingyun immediately had a gut feeling when he saw the account name and IP address.

This name seems to have a sister account relation with Black Pit World; could it be another account affiliated with Famous Fishing Tackle Company? Liu Xingyun secretly speculated.

Last time, Liu Xingyun made a call to Zhang Yang for certain exchanges, but hit a soft nail! He tried to contact him two more times, but Zhang Yang seemed uninterested in signing up, using various excuses to avoid the proposal.

In less than a month, the Black Pit World account has surged past 200,000 followers, almost every stream shows minor improvements, and the momentum is fantastic.

Thinking of this, Liu Xingyun pulled out his Apple phone and searched for Wild Fishing World on his platform, directly entering Zhang Yang's live room as an administrator!

The live stream switched abruptly, leaving Liu Xingyun a bit dazed.

The enormous screen showed only a stick marked with alternating red and green colors, underneath which lay a glittering water surface.

What on earth is this? Thousands of people are watching this thing? Liu Xingyun wondered to himself.

Just then, the bobber in the frame suddenly made a slight upward movement, then sharply dipped, startling Liu Xingyun!

"Got a fish!" A familiar voice came over.

Indeed, his guess was accurate!

It's Zhang Yang, again Zhang Yang!

This Wild Fishing World account is also incubated by Zhang Yang's team!

With a quick thought, Liu Xingyun made a slightly immature decision.

He tapped the gift option with his finger, scrolling quickly to find the highest value virtual gift—Planet Paradise!

One Planet Paradise costs 38,880 virtual coins, with a normal exchange rate of 1:1, priced at 3,888 RMB. Freelance streamers can withdraw half, which is 1,944 yuan, almost the monthly salary of some wage earners.

But Liu Xingyun doesn't need to pay for this gift himself.

As an operations executive, he has a certain amount of virtual currency each month to freely use for maintaining relations with contracted celebrity streamers, fully reimbursed by the platform company.

The originally calm, undisturbed live room suddenly entered a special effects animation scene, a huge blue planet appeared and lasted for three seconds before slowly shrinking back to calm!

Mystery Man 003 sent out Planet Paradise!

The live room exploded instantly!

[Holy shit, holy shit, holy shit! Planet, someone sent a planet!]

[Damn, this is more than three thousand bucks! Is there a big spender in the live room?]

[Mystery person? This ID nickname sequence seems unregistrable by regular users! Could it be an official admin?]

[The Planet Paradise effect is so beautiful! Another one, I love it, so magnificent!]

[Someone is swooning again upstairs! A small suggestion of a planet costs nearly four thousand bucks; one's enough, what are you thinking? Another one, seriously?]

While viewers were discussing, suddenly, another Planet Paradise appeared!

Same scene, same animation! The shocking special effects animation absolutely justifies the extravagant price!

At this moment, Zhang Yang looked up at the public chat of the live room and, belatedly, reacted.

"Uh, thanks to Mystery Man 003 for gifting two Planet Paradises! You're awesome, impressive, solid!"

When given such a large tip, Zhang Yang naturally won't refuse it. Even if he doesn't lack money, as a streamer, he won't object to gifts. He gladly embraces the generosity.

Liu Xingyun opened the chat box and used a $1 special effect for a flying screen to type a few short words, then hit the send key.

"The live effect is done quite well, keep it up!"

After sending the flying screen, Liu Xingyun slid his finger and exited the live room!

Zhang Yang, noticing someone there, briskly opened the public leaderboard to see who this big guy was.

But, lagging with the leaderboard refresh, the big guy had already left without even checking the profile.

Zhang Yang was left puzzled!

A swipe of seven to eight thousand bucks, stayed less than half a minute in the live room, sent a flying message, and just... left?

What's the deal here?

"Uh, the big guy is gone! Farewell!" Zhang Yang switched to his own view and made a helpless shrug.

[What's happening, could it be a real-life friend showing support?]

[This mystery person truly is mysterious!]

[Two Planet Paradises, over seven thousand bucks, that matches two months of my salary!]

Water friends buzzed again.

But this little episode in the live room wouldn't end so easily.

When Planet Paradise is gifted, a real-time announcement is made across all platform live rooms, leaving behind a virtual coin treasure chest in the room.

With two consecutive Planet Paradises, Zhang Yang's live room now had two treasure chests, set to open in three minutes!

In this situation, audiences from other live rooms, like flies smelling blood, swarmed through the announcement's hyperlinks into Zhang Yang's live room!

The live room, initially with over 3,000 people, suddenly surged to more than 10,000! All came to grab the treasure chests.

[What kind of live room is this? What's the screen showing?]

[Heard there's a big spender here? Where's the big guy?]

[Treasure chest, treasure chest, treasure chest! My favorite!]

[No face shown, no words spoken, just a stick on the screen, what's going on, can someone explain!?]

[This is a fishing livestream, that's a bobber in the camera; curious how it's so clear!]

Seeing so much non-targeted traffic entering the live room, Zhang Yang decisively fixed the tripod and detached the external camera.

The surrounding view became clear, showing a young guy sitting on a fishing box, facing a vast water area fishing.

Zhang Yang organized his thoughts and said, "Welcome new friends to the live room! This is the Wild Fishing World, and I'm your host Zhang Yang!

Our main live content is outdoor fishing. If you enjoy fishing, please follow our live account, thank you!

To thank everyone for their support, I will add an extra free lottery draw in ten minutes, giving away ten sets of specially-made Rice for Making Wine worth 50 yuan for free shipping!"

Free traffic is not something to miss, and Zhang Yang isn't the type to let juicy opportunities slip by. He grabbed the heat to increase the vertical followers first!
