Chapter 055: Applying What You Learn



"Very quickly."

Lu Ban refreshed his post again and saw that his number of likes had exceeded 400,000.

It is only the fifth afternoon now, and in less than a week, there are 400,000 likes. Lu Ban thinks it is very high.

As for coins, there are about 80,000 of them, which is a bit small.

But it's not a big problem.

The ranking and recommendation mechanism of Jiuri Video Network supports new works. Simply put, videos released within a week will be more likely to become popular and thus attract more people.

According to the website's algorithm, the number of views is only a reference dimension for the ranking list. The subject matter of the video, likes, and coins are other dimensions.

Some videos have a high number of clicks, but the content is actually highly homogenized. They are just following the trend to gain popularity, so they will have few likes and coins, and their ranking may not be high.

Some videos have relatively niche and hardcore content with very high quality, so even if the number of views is not that high, they will be on the list because of the large number of likes and coins.

Just like novel websites, some books are read by many people and are ranked high, while some books are not read by many people, but because of their good quality, they receive a lot of recommendation votes and monthly votes and can also get high rankings.

This is also one of the means to encourage creators to continue creating.

Therefore, although Lu Ban’s system does not have a time limit, he still sets a condition for viewers to increase the number of updates by a certain number of likes and coins within a week.

Because people are impulsive. For example, after watching Lu Ban’s video, some people are in high spirits, so it is much easier to ask for likes and coins, and they just do it when they are excited.

If we really have to wait a few days, I guess many people would be too lazy to invest even if they have coins.

It now seems that even if the conditions of 500,000 likes and 100,000 coins cannot be met within a week, it will be almost there in a few days.

It’s a bit strange to say. I don’t know if it was because Song Yunyan had given a heads-up, or if those self-media smelled something and became very conscious, but after Lu Ban’s video was released, the same marketing tactics as last time were used again, causing Lu Ban’s data to soar.

Good things, all good things.

Three days later.

As August approaches, the sun becomes stronger and the hot and humid summer in Jiangcheng completely eliminates everyone's desire to go out, and they just want to spend the rest of their lives in air-conditioned rooms.

But this kind of weather is very suitable for Lu Ban, with water, sunshine and warmth.

He was sitting on the balcony basking in the sun and photosynthesizing while browsing his phone.

His phone vibrated and he saw it was a push notification from "Do you understand?"

Originally, the push notifications on this kind of website were usually gossip topics like "How beautiful can ordinary people be?", "How to start a ghost story with salted fish?", "What is it like to have a pair of comic legs?", "What to do if your boyfriend doesn't allow you to have a cat at home?"

But this time it is related to Lu Ban.

[How to evaluate the latest special effects video of the UP host Yidongdong on Jiuri Video Network]

“That’s amazing.”

Lu Ban clicked on it.

He first saw the answer with the highest number of likes.

"...As for special effects, as a video special effects practitioner, I can only say that it's no problem to fool ordinary audiences, but in the eyes of real insiders, it's too crude. For example, in this scene, the monster with sharp teeth bites its throat. You can clearly see the traces of special effects here. If a real human's throat is bitten, the blood and muscles should show different characteristics, like this..."

The respondent's name is [Pin], and the introduction behind it says "film and television practitioner", which looks quite professional.

He used both pictures and text to analyze the use of special effects in Lu Ban's video. He even explained clearly what special effects were used and how they were made. He is truly an expert.

“That’s amazing!”

Lu Ban couldn't help but sigh. He compared the video and screenshots and nodded repeatedly.

"So this is how the special effects were made, I didn't even notice it."

He looked at the second answer.

"… As a horror video, the logic of this film is not smooth. Why does grass grow on people? Why don't those humanoid monsters grow grass? Why don't these fish usually hunt humanoid monsters? These are not explained clearly in the video. It gives people the feeling that the protagonist of the video went to a place, met a group of monsters, and then escaped. There is no cause and effect, which makes people feel confused…"

The second answerer's name is [Da Huang Talks about Movies], and he seems to be a professional film and television answerer. He also provided pictures and texts, and talked about some shortcomings in Lu Ban's video.

"I see. I learned that."

Lu Ban took notes secretly.

He looked at the third answer.

The answerer of this answer is a star who often participates in variety shows and occasionally acts in idol dramas. He is said to be a top student at a top domestic university and has a double doctorate degree.

"…Thanks for the invitation. Special effects and plot aside, as a professional experiential actor who adheres to Stanislavsky's theory, I think the performances of the actors in the video are a bit exaggerated. When humans really face fear, their performance is not like that in the video, but more forbearing and restrained. I can understand that the producer's intention is to let the audience empathize through exaggerated performances, but it seems very fake to me…"

"Exaggerated acting? It seems too obvious."

Lu Ban feels that every one of the guys on this website is very knowledgeable and is worthy of being the officially certified big Vs on [Do You Understand?].

Lu Ban was about to continue looking for an answer when his phone vibrated again.

I took a look and saw that it was Qin Tiantian who had just woken up.

[Wangchuan]: Can you do some work in the world of the living in the future?

【Motionless】:?

[Wangchuan]: I was scared before and forgot to say it, but now I remember it!

[Motionless]: Oh, it seems you have slept well these days.

[Wangchuan]: Get out!

[Wangchuan]: What are you doing now?

When Lu Ban saw Qin Tiantian’s words, he took a photo of the bright sunshine and sent it over.

【Motionless】: Photosynthesizing.

【Wangchuan】: ??? Just bask in the sun, why bother with photosynthesis?

[Wangchuan]: Are you free in the evening? Let’s go out for dinner together!

[Stand still]: Are you treating?

[Wangchuan]: How can you bear with that?

【Wangchuan】: See you at 6pm at Xiao Sichuan downstairs!

[Motionless]: Oh.

Lu Ban replied, not taking it too seriously.

Maybe Qin Tiantian saw that every video of Lu Ban became popular and he seemed to have plenty of money, so he wanted to have a good relationship with Lu Ban.

Now UP hosts also have guilds, they stick together to keep each other warm, attract each other's traffic, and work together. If Lu Ban's videos become popular in the future, then Qin Tiantian will lay a good foundation with him, and the benefits will definitely be very high.

Lu Ban didn't care. Qin watched the live broadcast of his own video every day and the effect was very good. It could also be considered a kind of publicity.

At six o'clock in the evening, he came to Xiao Sichuan downstairs, a Sichuan restaurant with Jiangcheng flavor. Even the mapo tofu is sweet. College students from the neighborhood like to come here for dinner.

Qin Tiantian had already found a table and was waiting.

"I just ordered some random things, take a look and see if you want anything else."

She handed the menu to Lu Ban.

Lu Ban picked up the menu, and the words about classic Sichuan cuisine on it suddenly became distorted.

Congratulations on completing your career development task.
