"Green screen, huh? Nowadays, there are a lot of apps that manipulate the background. Not a bad idea . . . but how about the video itself?" Fifi floated beside Cain, her eyes glinting with curiosity.
"These days, people have the attention span of a goldfish, so keep it short — like, one minute max. As for what to put in it . . ." She pulled up her Goddess Screen, her eyes scanning the latest trends. ". .
. the best way to rack up views is to ride the wave of what's viral right now."
"However," she continued, her tone growing more serious, "if you want to gain a solid following, you'll need to be unique and creative. Still, since you're new to the game and a bit late to the party, it's smarter to play to your strengths for now. Focus on dancing — that's where you really shine."
"Good thinking," Cain nodded. He'd been mulling over the same strategy. Finally, something they could agree upon.
"We can work on your singing when you level that skill some more."
Fifi's screen flickered to life, displaying the latest trends. Her brows furrowed as she scanned the information. "It looks like the best way to pull in views right now is to jump on the latest dance trend.
"We could search for the top dancer and mirror their moves, or we could jump on a trending music video and recreate the dance. Let's see . . . The top dancer on BuzzVid is . .
. Kalista? A girl?"
Cain's expression darkened at the mention of a woman's name. "Let me see that."
He stepped closer to Fifi, eyes narrowing as he watched the video. The screen showed a figure moving fluidly to a catchy hip-hop beat.
At first glance, Cain wasn't even sure Kalista was a woman — her look was androgynous, blurring the lines in a way that caught him off guard.
She wore a dark, sleeveless oversized shirt paired with baggy pants and a hat that shadowed her face. Her hair was impossibly long and sleek, so smooth it almost seemed unreal, like it belonged on a doll rather than a person.
Most of her face was hidden beneath a mask, adding an air of mystery to her presence. It was clear this was intentional — whether to keep the focus solely on her dancing or to maintain an enigmatic persona that kept viewers guessing.
At first, his movements were a bit stiff, slightly off-beat. But with each repetition, they became smoother, more fluid. His [Sharp Mind] kicked in, allowing him to break down the choreography and recreate it with near-perfect accuracy after just a few tries.
However, his Dancing Skills didn't level up, signifying that he needed more experience to budge that number.
Cain practiced relentlessly, refining each step until it felt natural, like an extension of himself. When he finally nailed the routine, Cain was satisfied with the outcome. He knew it was ready.
With a quick edit to enhance the video's visual appeal, he added the final touches and uploaded it to BuzzVid.
As the video went live, Cain couldn't help but feel a mix of anticipation and dread. This was just the beginning, and he hoped that everything would went well.
