Chapter 716
“To be fair, the first-place trophy will probably go to whichever student gets lucky riding that massive tech wave. But my odds of sweeping the secondary awards are incredibly high p>
Owen gently ruffled her hair. “You’re always playing the long game, aren’t you p>
“Owen, I feel like you’re still treating me like a little sister p>
It was true that she was still adjusting to their new dynamic, but she wasn’t about to let him have the upper hand.
“Do you want me to kiss you to prove otherwise p>
“A kiss only speaks for the present. A second ago, you were definitely still in protective older brother mode p>
Mira stepped back, a teasing smile playing on her lips.
“You’re getting bold, making fun of your… me p>
He had almost said ‘making fun of your man,’ but caught himself at the last second, though the possessive slip was obvious.
It didn’t change the fact that he naturally defaulted to wanting to take care of her.
“Ha! See? You’re doing it again p>
Owen couldn’t help but laugh, shaking his head at his own instinct.
“I promise, I’ll stop treating you like a little kid p>
He feigned a look of mild offense.
“Don’t you dare! I was just joking. I like it when you spoil me and let me get away with murder p>
Friday afternoon rolled around, and Mira happily made her way to the Art Club.
After spending an hour jamming, dancing, and singing with the other members, Mira dropped a massive bombshell on the room: Solflare Group’s Short-Video Platform had officially gone live today.
She pulled out her phone and walked them through the sleek interface.
The entire club swarmed around her in seconds.
“Look at this. You can upload singing covers, choreography routines… As performing arts majors, this is the perfect place to showcase our portfolios.
It’s built for music, dance, instrumentals, and even just aesthetic vlogs.
You can post for fun, share comedy sketches, food reviews, travel diaries— anything.
And the best part? The algorithm actually rewards engagement with a virtual currency that you can convert directly into cash.
Granted, the initial payout isn’t massive.
The real money comes from building an audience.
Once you hit a certain follower threshold, you can monetize through ad revenue, brand sponsorships, and live e-commerce streams.
But for us, the sweet spot is definitely music, dance, and short scripted dramas.
We’re already trained performers. If we produce high-quality content, we can actually turn this into a lucrative career p>
“This is incredible! I’m downloading it right now. I have to test this out p>
“Just keep in mind that if you want to heavily monetize and start
treating it like a business, you’ll
need
to go through the proper verification
processes and secure commercial licenses p>
“Wait, we need actual licenses p>
“Not if you’re just posting for fun or sharing with friends.
But the moment you step into commercial territory-sponsorships, direct sales- Mavaria law requires a digital creator license.
I’m sure you all have the talent to pass the verification audits if you put in the work.
For now, just focus on posting great content and building your follower base p>
“If we start producing short episodic dramas, I bet we could build a massive following p>
“Done. Let’s start sketching out concepts right now. What gear do we need p>
“Let’s start small. Low budget, high concept. Once we actually start generating revenue, we can upgrade our production value.
Even if we don’t make a dime at first, it’s perfect acting practice p>
Mira watched in amusement. It was like she had just injected them alt with pure adrenaline. They threw. around script ideas and production schedules non-stop until it was time totock up the studio.
Several students were already uploading their first test videos before they even left
the room.
She was more than happy to let them brainstorm. It was great experience for them, and organic, ground-level marketing for Solflare.
Before slipping out the door, she
offered one last piece of advice. If
any of you run into red tape trying to
get your commercial creator licenses approved, let me know. I can pull a few strings p>
