January 6th, sunny.
The weather in January is different from that in December and has gradually become colder.
After leaving the house and walking outside, Lu Yuan clearly felt a cold wind accompanied by chill, which made him shiver uncontrollably.
He wrapped himself in clothes.
uncomfortable.
The headlines in the entertainment industry are still full of news. Every day, a star is exposed for taking drugs. Then the star who is exposed for taking drugs undergoes a physical examination, proves his innocence, and clarifies the accusation that a certain reporter is talking nonsense and making trouble...
Waves of headlines become popular, and then are replaced by another wave.
Anyway, the more novel, the better.
Lu Yuan squatted on the bluestone slab at the entrance of the company with his mobile phone in hand, reading various headlines. As he read, he found himself feeling helpless.
Some things will appear every now and then unless you deliberately pursue them, but when you deliberately pursue them and think about them, they make you feel like you have no idea where to start.
Acting requires a script, and making headlines also requires an opportunity.
It's impossible that you can just eat a meal or take a shit and then make the headlines, right?
Do you think this is a fairy tale or a joke?
Lu Yuan was worried at this moment.
Looking at the hot headlines about clarification of drug abuse everywhere on the Internet, he wondered whether he should let Fatty Wei act out a play with him and follow the trend, deliberately slandering himself as a drug addict, then go to the hospital for a physical examination and send out some physical examination reports to clarify, and then pretend to have a fight with Fatty Wei, and when the fight gets to the extreme, he would directly run a wave of advertisements to blind everyone's eyes?
This seems like a good idea.
but……
Is this really necessary?
And will this really make the headlines?
Lu Yuan once again opened the headlines on his phone and saw that several celebrities who were exposed for drug use were severely criticizing the reporters.
He scratched his head.
He felt that he really couldn't do it like those stars.
That would be a headache.
"Why are you squatting here alone?"
Just when Lu Yuan had a headache, Wang Jinxue came to Lu Yuan and looked at him.
"Just be alone and quiet." Lu Yuan looked up at Wang Jinxue, then lowered his head again.
"Thinking about the headlines?"
"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Actually, I think your primary concern right now is not this. As a celebrity, you still have work to do."
"What job?"
“Do you have a Weibo account?”
"Weibo? No..."
"Then go apply for a Weibo account. Many big stars have their own Weibo accounts. You should have one too. Weibo is a gathering place for fans. You can update your status on Weibo in the future so that you can interact with your fans."
“Do I have any fans?”
"I definitely don't have hundreds of thousands of fans, but I should have tens of thousands. The key is to manage them."
"Oh, what about applying for Weibo?"
"Certification, after the certification, first check how many fans you have. In fact, I think you can rush to the fan list. Although Wei Lai has a lot of zombie fans, there will be more or less new fans after being on the fan list."
“How much does it cost to increase followers?”
“It takes tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of views to get on the front page, but it’s a bit harder to get to the top. The team behind Wei Lai has used a lot of resources.”
"Okay."
Lu Yuan nodded, and for a moment he felt that he was trapped in the dilemma of having to spend money again.
Lu Yuan discovered that it would be difficult to get anywhere in this world without money.
However, Lu Yuan finally returned to the office, logged into the Weibo page, and registered an account. After registering the account, Lu Yuan looked at Wang Jinxue who was playing with her mobile phone next to him.
"What's your Weibo number... Let me follow you."
"Okay." Wang Jinxue nodded and told Lu Yuan her Weibo account.
Lu Yuan searched for Wang Jinxue's Weibo account, and was slightly stunned when he saw the number of fans on Wang Jinxue's Weibo.
"You have 20,000 followers on Weibo?"
"Yes, 20,000. These Weibo fans are all piano lovers. I usually upload some piano music on Weibo...so the number of fans will increase every day. This is a business." Wang Jinxue nodded.
"How long did it take for 20,000?"
"It hasn't been long, probably only a few months. I also started using Weibo in June this year. After registering, I called An Xiao and asked him to follow me. An Xiao has a lot of fans, more than 200,000."
"More than 200,000... popular stars are different." Lu Yuan nodded, and was very satisfied when he saw that the number of followers on his Weibo account had turned from 0 to 1. After he was satisfied, an idea suddenly occurred to him!
etc!
Don’t I know a lot of people in the circle? …
yes!
I can ask Director Zhang Tong, Mr. Chen and Professor Zheng to follow me and help me gain some followers!
Wang Jinxue is right. You must have a Weibo account. What can you do without one?
First manage your personal Weibo account well before thinking about making headlines...
Anyway, I am not in a hurry now...
…
"Hello! Director Zhang?"
"Hey, Xiao Lu, why did you think of calling me when you have time?"
"Director Zhang, do you have Weibo?"
“Of course I have Weibo…”
“How many fans do you have?”
"Actually, it's not much, probably just over 100,000. Haha, I don't play much on weekdays." Although Zhang Tong said it lightly, he actually felt a little bit of boasting in his heart.
Weibo is a new thing in the past two years.
He registered on Weibo last year and has been using it every day. He would post on Weibo whenever there was an event and post photos of the male and female protagonists whenever he was filming a movie. With his deliberate and continuous management, he already has 100,000 followers on Weibo.
One hundred thousand fans, and all of them are real fans, this is indeed something to be proud of.
"Oh, it's like this, Director Zhang, I also registered on Weibo. I'll follow you and you can follow me too." Lu Yuan nodded and asked Zhang Tong happily.
"Okay! By the way, how many followers do you have on Weibo?"
"Let me see... Hey, there are quite a lot."
"How much?"
"There are eight now..."
“…”
"No, I saw it wrong. Now there are seven again..."
"Give me your Weibo account, I'll follow it now..." When Zhang Tong heard Lu Yuan say this number, he immediately searched for Lu Yuan's account. Looking at the seven lonely fans on it, he suddenly felt embarrassed.
This is so fucking pitiful.
"Xiao Lu, Weibo is something you should take your time with. Don't rush... It's not that easy to increase your followers. After all, it took me more than a year. But Xiao Lu, with your current popularity, I think it's still possible for you to break through 100,000 followers in half a year. Don't be discouraged... Don't worry, I'll help you promote it and add a few friends in the circle to follow you. It won't be a problem."
"Oh, thank you Director Zhang!"
"What are you thanking me for? Just buy me a drink next time."
"Of course, of course."
After clicking the follow button, Zhang Tong began to comfort Lu Yuan.
Young people are always ambitious, so it must be uncomfortable for them to see such a comparison!
Zhang Tong had a good relationship with Lu Yuan, and was afraid of upsetting Lu Yuan, so when he was comforting him he began to cite examples of how difficult it was to increase followers on Weibo.
…
"Good afternoon, Professor Zheng..."
"Ayuan? How come you have time to call me?"
"I have a Weibo account. Do you have one?"
"Yes, I have."
“How many fans do you have?”
"About 60,000 or so..."
"You can follow me. I actually have quite a few fans."
"How many do you have?"
"There are ten of them."
“…”
When Zheng Guolong heard Lu Yuan tell him how many fans he had, he immediately gave Lu Yuan a follower without saying a word, and asked Zheng Jianguo to give Lu Yuan a follower as well.
As for other things, Zheng Guolong didn't say much, but just reminded Lu Yuan not to care too much about the number of Weibo fans and just let everything take its course.
After all, having 10 fans is really amazing.
…
"Old man..."
"Xiao Lu, what are you doing?"
"Is there a Weibo? Let's follow each other..."
"What's the account number?"
"Yes, yes..."
"Yes, uh... A Yuan, your number of fans... ahem, it's okay... you really didn't have that many fans at the beginning, but it will be different after half a year."
After Chen Guanxiong became a fan of Lu Yuan, he looked at Lu Yuan’s thirteen fans and suddenly fell silent.
…
On this day, Lu Yuan made many phone calls to people he knew.
Basically, he followed all the people he should follow. When his Weibo followers reached 500, Lu Yuan submitted his information and applied for official certification.
It was very slow for other people to apply for certification, but the Weibo reviewer got Lu Yuan certified and added a V within a few hours after seeing that it was Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan's profile also lists a variety of identities: poet, songwriter, singer, director, actor...
Anyway, the following series are all Lu Yuan’s identities. The number of words for the certified identity alone spans the second line.
After looking at his verified Weibo, Lu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. At least he now had an official identity on the Internet.
After the certification was completed, Lu Yuan took a special look at the fans, and then he found that the number of fans had exceeded one thousand.
It feels great to have gone from zero to one thousand in less than a few hours. If I continue like this, I estimate that when I wake up tomorrow, my Weibo followers will exceed three thousand or even more. If I can break ten thousand, that will be even better.
This is the benefit of privilege. Once so many celebrities pay attention to it, the effect is immediately different.
OK, now I have a Weibo account and I’ve been certified. The question now is how can I get on the headlines and start promoting myself.
Well, I'll take a good look at the information and think about it in the evening.
etc!
Since Director Zhang Tong has more than 100,000 fans on Weibo, why don't I ask Director Zhang Tong to help me advertise? Judging from Director Zhang's tone just now, he seems to be a very enthusiastic person, and it is unlikely that he will take money from me!
In that case, then...
day!
I asked him to follow Gejier Weibo and help me promote Gejier Weibo. Isn't it good for me to ask him to help promote the movie and new album?
Such a simple question, why didn’t I think of it?
When Lu Yuan thought of this, he was stunned for a moment.
Do you want to call Zhang Tong again?
this……
Am I too thick-skinned?
…
Night, deep.
When Lu Yuan was sitting in his chair in frustration and considering whether he should call Zhang Tong again, things on the Internet began to change quietly.
"Director Lu has opened a Weibo account and it's already been verified!"
"Yes, it's Lu Yuan, the screenwriter and director of Buried. I believe everyone should know him, right? Those who know him should go and support Director Lu. He only has 3,000 fans on Weibo, so please don't embarrass him..."
On the Xinchao Weibo, Zhang Tong posted a post for Lu Yuan and added a teasing suffix to the post.
After seeing Zhang Tong, his fans immediately clicked on Lu Yuan’s Weibo and saw that he had 5,000 fans…
"Director Zhang, that's not right. You are wrong. Lu Yuan's number of fans is 5,000, not 3,000. Take a new screenshot!"
"That's not right. Director Lu already has 7,000 fans..."
"Uh, that's not right. How come I can get 9,000 in one refresh?"
"???"
"What happened? Over ten thousand? Over ten thousand in just ten minutes?"
At nine o'clock in the evening, when Zhang Tong drank a cup of tea, he subconsciously clicked on Lu Yuan's Weibo. When he saw that the number of followers on Lu Yuan's Weibo suddenly dropped to two or three, he was stunned.
For a moment he found it hard to believe his eyes.
Thirty thousand?
Wait, wasn’t it three thousand three hours ago? Is my advertising effect so strong?
That’s right. After all, all my Weibo fans are real people, not zombie fans. The 100,000 fans are real people, and I have strong appeal, so this is normal.
Zhang Tong closed Weibo and started browsing other things.
Another two hours passed. When Zhang Tong rubbed his eyes and saw that his Weibo followers exceeded 50,000, he instantly lost his composure.
Thirty thousand can still be explained, but now it has become fifty thousand...
this……
That's not right!
Did he gain followers?
