Chapter 246 Challenges and Opportunities

On the contrary, the number of fans increased slightly by dozens in the ordinary period, the number of views increased a little more than usual, but not significantly, and the average percentage of playback progress did not decrease. There were also some people in the comment section who were triggered to write heartfelt and long comments, which actually doubled.

Dazhuang read the long comments carefully. Some of them analyzed the mother's psychology and personality, and the impact on her children. Some put themselves in his shoes, saying that the exact second and shot in the video were exactly the same as his current situation. A few encouraged him to make such videos, saying that it was rare for such a blogger to exist these days and that they were willing to support him.

All in all, although it was only a small step forward, Dazhuang felt that this path seemed feasible.

However, such themes are not available every time he visits a store, so Dazhuang continued his previous store visiting model while exploring.

Later, I met Guo Gaoang and Li Zi again. The three of us inexplicably got along well and met in Guo Gaoang's comment section. Because they both had the same habit of arguing with others, they became friends.

Upon further investigation, it was discovered that all three were in the same awkward situation, stuck in the same "hot wind" routine, unable to move forward or backward.

Guo Gaoang was popular for a while because of his milk smoothie, but he had always been in Yangcheng and had a small audience. Dazhuang and Li Zi were in Jiangcheng, so they naturally had a larger fan base. Therefore, after Guo Gaoang's traffic increased, the three of them had almost the same number of fans. Even if they cooperated, there would be no problem of who could take advantage of the traffic.

"Last time we were having dinner here and talking about that wheel pancake video, we realized we had surprisingly similar feelings about it. After that video, I kind of started to understand what I wanted to shoot, and they both happened to like this genre.

We were still talking after dinner that day, saying that if we ever did collaborate, we'd go with that genre. While it was a bit risky, judging by the reaction to the wheel cake video, not everyone is addicted to short videos; there are still people who are willing to learn about the lives and stories of ordinary people.

Li Zi had just suggested a topic for her. She explained that a relative of hers ran a snack bar, a family tradition, but when the current girl took over, her father went blind. She'd wanted to give up, as the snack bar wasn't making any money anyway, but her father wouldn't let her, and with much effort, he forced her to learn the craft. Da Zhuang pursed his lips, sighed, and shook his head.

"It's not easy. Making snacks usually requires delicate work, and it's much more difficult if you can't see, let alone teaching a novice," said Zhao Xiaojing.

"You're right, that snack is a kind of fried noodle in their local area. I heard the process is very complicated. I haven't tried it yet.

I'll wait until we officially become partners and then go over to try it. Her relatives live quite far away, in your province, so I'll probably have to stay there for at least a week.

Leaving the province would be a brand new attempt and challenge for us. After all, we've all been in our own cities before, and since we're targeting people living in the same city, the cost is relatively low." Dazhuang looked at the night sky outside, feeling both excited and anxious.

"Challenges also bring opportunities. In the future, the fan base we will target will be even larger. It will no longer be limited to Jiangcheng, but will be from all corners of the country, with high spending and high income." Zhao Xiaojing said gently.

Da Zhuang nodded heavily, with stars twinkling in his eyes.

"Then I wish you success in advance." Zhao Xiaojing smiled slightly.

"I also wish your new video will be a big hit!" Su Yuchen followed up with his blessings.

That night, Dazhuang posted the video that Zhao Xiaojing had already decided on. Guo Gaoang and Li Zi's accounts were also updated simultaneously. The three of them had different titles but the same content. While indicating that they were jointly exploring the store, they also wrote down the accounts of all three people in the creative team column.

After the video was released, Dazhuang's account slowly gained dozens of followers, and the number of views and average viewing progress also increased slightly, with the same effect as the Wheel Cake video.

However, the accounts of Guo Gaoang and Li Zi gained hundreds of followers almost every day, and their traffic increased nearly five or six times. In addition, old fans praised them in the comment section, saying that the quality of their videos was getting higher and higher, and that they were well-deserved conscientious blockbusters. They also called on them to produce more joint videos and suggested a direct partnership.

Another person who has gained a lot of fans is Zhao Xiaojing. Although she does not have an account and most of the shots of her face in the video have been deleted, the contrast created by Dazhuang's editing and the cool and dashing flipping of the ladle have also led to a lot of discussion about Zhao Xiaojing in the comment section.

"Can the blogger please beg the boss to open an account! I love the looks and contrast, it's my cup of tea!"

"I agree! Can the blogger give the account to the boss? No need to make videos, just live broadcast every day, I'll give you coins!"

"That's awesome! Boss, I'm going to kill me! I checked the map and it only takes seven hours. I'll be there tonight. Everyone, wait for me. I'm definitely going to eat this beauty rice bowl!"

Guo Gaoang and Li Zi were so happy watching this that they took screenshots every day and posted them in the group of three. This made Da Zhuang, who was already depressed because he had the same fate but different fates and only had no followers, even more depressed.

As a result, the three of them decided to officially form a partnership and began to discuss the future route and various details.

At the same time, Zhao Xiaojing has been paying attention to the progress of background tasks. Although it is slowly increasing every day, it is still far from the 0.3% required by the system.

However, there was no time limit for the task, and there was still a chance for the variety show to be broadcast later, so Zhao Xiaojing didn't worry too much about it.

The temperature was getting colder day by day, and heavy snow fell in mid-January. However, the provincial capital was very populous, and the heat island effect made the winter not that cold.

This was the first time in Zhao Xiaojing's two lives that she spent the winter in a city other than Yangcheng. Although they were both cities and not much different from each other, her circumstances were different and her state of mind had changed a lot. She felt that everything was completely different from what she had felt in Yangcheng before.

During this time, the two of them finished moving and each had their own bedroom. After Su Yuchen took the time to replace the curtains and tables, put in carpets, and added some soft furnishings, the whole room became very atmospheric, and the two of them felt even happier.

The new residence is very close to the restaurant, only six or seven minutes' walk away. Yun Yongyuan and Wan Yuyue happened to propose that they wanted to practice cooking in the restaurant during lunch time so that they could get less salary every month to offset the wasted food.

Zhao Xiaojing simply handed over the kitchen to the two of them and went home to rest at noon. She had a virtual space anyway, so she could practice just as well at home as in the kitchen. As for the salary deduction, it was to train her own team of chefs for her own restaurant, so she wasn't that stingy.

When she returned home to rest, she and Su Yuchen stayed busy in their respective rooms.

Su Yuchen was busy with the last few lessons of guitar class. A thick notebook was already full, so he switched to a second one. He had originally written many songs, but as the course progressed, he rejected them one by one, leaving only three or four left.
