Before we knew it, exam week came to an end amidst the mundane routine, and many universities in Beijing welcomed their summer vacation.
Under Jiang Xia's arrangement, several students in the class who studied animation entered Qitian Animation for internships. If they are outstanding and perform well during the summer vacation, there is a possibility that they may be promoted to full-time positions ahead of schedule.
After working on D-site for half a semester, Cui Jiaying and Si Si, through long-term observation and learning, finally decided to become content creators in the film and television section.
The two run an account together. Si Si is responsible for detailed explanations of movies, TV series, and anime series, while Cui Jiaying runs a separate series of rants and occasionally does parodies.
The two usually appear together in videos, using a question-and-answer format, which is quite unique. In addition, both of them are very good-looking, and the video quality is quite good. They have already gained nearly a thousand followers after only two videos. If they continue to maintain this style, they should be able to attract a large number of fans.
However, considering that this job requires watching countless films and must dedicate a significant amount of time to watching and editing them,
Therefore, after careful consideration, Si Si and Cui Jiaying submitted their resignation applications to Jiang Xia.
"Have you two thought it through?" Jiang Xia asked, sitting at his desk and looking at the two people in front of him.
Si Si nodded and said, "We've been thinking about this for a long time. Life is full of choices, and this time, Yingying and I have chosen to do what we're interested in."
"In that case, I agree. In the information age, doing well in self-media is no worse than having a regular job, and may even be better."
Jiang Xia smiled and then signed his name.
"I've watched your videos. They're high quality and the content is great. In this direction, there will be dozens of content creators with over a million followers in the future. Keep up the good work and put your heart into making each video. I have high hopes for you."
"More than a million fans? Really?" Cui Jiaying blinked, her face beaming with joy.
“In the next two years, smartphones will experience explosive growth, and 3G networks will iterate towards faster and cheaper 4G networks. At that time, everyone will be able to use their phones to watch D-site, with tens of millions of daily active users. With such a huge amount of data, is it difficult for you two, as excellent content creators whom I recognize, to have millions of fans?” Jiang Xia said with a smile.
"Boss, you said it yourself. If we don't reach a million followers, I'll complain to Yanwan!" Cui Jiaying threatened with a chuckle.
Lin Yanwan, standing to the side, listened with a hint of helplessness.
"Jiang Xia is right, Si Si, Ying Ying, keep it up! Work hard to build up your fanbase, and soon you'll taste the sweetness of online traffic. We're at the forefront of internet development, and as the first batch of content creators, you'll be the first to reap the benefits. But the prerequisite is that you must persevere!" Lin Yanwan said earnestly.
"Boss, do you have any suggestions regarding our current direction?" Si Si asked.
Jiang Xia frowned slightly and pondered for a few seconds. He had countless directions in his mind, but the one that matched the two of them... wait, he inexplicably thought of a certain Liangzai with seven or eight million fans.
A series featuring countless film viewers, attracting a huge following.
"A key to growing your fanbase is interaction. You could create a series called 'Watching Countless Films.' Many fans will leave comments asking you to help them find a screenshot, a news article, or the source of a song's melody. All you have to do is record this process, adding your own commentary or witty remarks. Trust me, if you do this series well, your fanbase will grow very rapidly."
Si Si nodded slightly, keeping this suggestion, which was worth at least a million views, in mind.
In any case, the idea of the owner of D Station can't be wrong.
"Boss, boss lady, Si Si and I are planning to treat you to a meal today. Would you two do us the honor? Qiu Ting and Su Qing will also be coming," Cui Jiaying said with a smile.
"Celebrating your departure, is that it?" Lin Yanwan glanced at her helplessly.
"Yes, hehe."
“No problem, you two are treating us to dinner, so I’ll definitely come.” Jiang Xia chuckled.
"Wow! Thank you for the honor, boss! It's a deal then! See you tonight!"
"Go ahead, and remember to submit a copy of your resignation to HR when you leave."
"Uh-huh!"
As the two left, the office gradually quieted down.
Lin Yanwan walked behind Jiang Xia and tenderly massaged his temples. When she wasn't busy, she sometimes acted more like a secretary.
"Let's take some time to leave a comment under their videos, or maybe share them. It'll be good publicity for them and help them build up some popularity early on," Jiang Xia said softly, her eyes slightly closed.
"Just like when you secretly chose Chen Yao?" Lin Yanwan's lips curled slightly.
Jiang Xia's body stiffened instantly. He opened his eyes and looked at his wife's ambiguous smile: "Ahem, darling, there's no such thing as secretly choosing a concubine. That's not true."
"Really? But why are so many netizens tagging me, saying my fiancé is cheating on me and telling me to catch him in the act?" Lin Yanwan said with a smile.
Jiang Xia was slightly embarrassed. Of course, he wouldn't admit to cheating; it was never true.
"Baby, I'm innocent! I just accidentally came across her video and, out of respect for our old classmate, I gave her a little pointers."
"Out of respect for my old classmate, I'll choose her."
"No! Absolutely not!" Jiang Xia shook his head vigorously, quickly disclaiming any involvement.
Lin Yanwan chuckled inwardly: "I was just joking with you, why are you so nervous? I'm not that petty."
As she spoke, she slowly moved her small hands from her temples to her shoulders, applying a little pressure as she rubbed and kneaded them.
"She's a content creator in the legal section, right? Whom did you guide her on?"
“Of course it’s the outlaw Zhang San,” Jiang Xia replied matter-of-factly.
Professor Luo Xiang, as the number one internet celebrity on Bilibili in his previous life, has a fan base of over 25 million. His lecture videos have supported countless law-related content creators. If an ordinary person could learn even a fraction of his methods, it would be enough to sustain them for a lifetime.
“It’s a bit difficult. She’s just a college student studying law, she’s young and inexperienced, and her words don’t carry much weight. She doesn’t have enough knowledge to back her up, so her words don’t carry much weight,” Lin Yanwan said, shaking her head.
“I know, that’s why I only have her do case studies, or use examples from the teacher’s lectures in her videos. Her video content is already quite good, with each one getting tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of views,” Jiang Xia said.
"And you still say you didn't secretly keep an eye on things?" Lin Yanwan narrowed her eyes.
Jiang Xia's breath hitched, and he looked embarrassed: "Honey, believe me, I really just randomly picked it up."
"snort!"
She turned her head slightly, pursed her lips, and spoke with a hint of shyness in her voice.
"Today is my safe period."
