A Weibo influencer named Riding a Little Donkey posted a post a few days ago: [What is the most outrageous thing you have ever encountered? ]
This is a common traffic-generating method used by some big Vs. Even if the topic doesn't go viral, it can still attract fans to speak out. When the number of comments under this Weibo post is almost enough, he will select interesting comments that are outrageous and eye-catching enough, take screenshots and make a nine-square grid, and then it will be another new and interesting post.
There is nothing wrong with this idea. The problem is that the traffic on Riding a Little Donkey's Weibo has been declining recently, and the number of messages from fans has dropped sharply. It has been almost a week, and there are only more than 2,000 messages in total.
People like to gather together. The more popular a Weibo post is, the more people are willing to comment. On the contrary, the less popular a Weibo post is, the less likely someone will comment or like it even if they see it passing by.
This half-dead situation made the man riding the donkey feel helpless, but he still opened the comment section and read through them one by one, trying to find the nine most explosive ones among the more than 2,000 messages.
The real name of the man riding a donkey is Wu Yun, an ordinary name and ordinary looks. He doesn't know how other big Vs became such big Vs, but he knows his own business. He has neither a sense of humor nor the confidence of being well-read. All he can do is try his best to do his best and be the most dedicated, to improve the quality of his blog posts as much as possible and to attract everyone's attention.
For example, at this moment, there are more than 2,000 comments. Wu Yun is reading them while taking screenshots and making notes. The content of the notes is divided into details of popularity, attractiveness, possibility of making people laugh, whether it brings its own traffic, whether the traffic is large enough, and so on.
He would take a break when his eyes hurt, and then continue. Because of the large amount of notes, Wu Yun read from nine in the evening to two in the morning, even though as a freelancer he was used to staying up late.
But as we all know, staying up late playing games is very different from staying up late working.
Wu Yun was very depressed, and his state of mind gradually changed from "I won't sleep until the moon falls, I'm a hardworking little baby" to "I want to cultivate immortality and see you in ICU". However, procrastination is a big taboo in their line of work. Although he wanted to stop and rest, he thought that if he stopped he would not sleep but would slack off and play around, so Wu Yun chose to bite the bullet and continue working.
Just when he was in a daze, a long comment with a picture suddenly appeared in front of him.
Roadside Flower: [I have so much say in this! I never leave comments, but today I have to say something! Because I said too much and exceeded the word limit, I put it in the memo and took a screenshot! You will know when you see it! It is really outrageous! ]
Screenshot content: [Here's what happened. I love reading novels. There was a novel I really liked, so I joined a reader group. Everyone in the group was happily chatting and talking about it every day. This novel was going to be made into a TV series, and we were worried that it would ruin the original work, so everyone's chatter turned into crowdfunding for the series, the kind where everyone paid 50 cents per person to choose the actors they wanted to act in the show. A girl in the group who is usually very lively also shouted very loudly. I'll call her S.
In s's favorite book, there is a character named Qin who is called "Qin Ge Qin Ge" every day. The actor who was originally supposed to play Qin Ge seemed to have quit the role due to schedule, and s was very worried because the filming had already started. She was afraid that the crew would just find someone else to play the role and end up ruining Qin Ge's image.
Here comes the point! One day, she said that when she was buying pancakes, she saw a handsome guy selling pancakes who looked like Qin Ge. We all encouraged her to ask for Feixin. Two days later, when everyone was talking about crowdfunding, S also talked about that she spent 10 million yuan, and the crew agreed that she would play the role of Qin Ge. Everyone talked about it like this, and no one took it seriously.
Then two days later, S suddenly took a picture of a handsome guy and asked us if he looked like Brother Qin, saying that this was the handsome guy at the pancake stall and she had signed him. We thought it was just a random picture she found on the Internet and we all cooperated and said he looked like him. She then said in a very reassuring tone: Then let him play the role, the director said that the handsome guy at the pancake stall has great acting skills and she doesn't believe that he can't convey the feeling of Brother Qin.
It sounds like a normal boast, right? ! Here comes the point! ! That night! ! The crew officially announced! The actor who was confirmed to play Brother Qin was the handsome guy at the pancake stall! ! What’s the key? ! The key is that the handsome guy at the pancake stall had never been found before, and no one knew him at all! ! In other words, only if what s said was true could it be possible to get the photo! We are all confused, okay? ! ! Everyone tagged s like crazy, and s was also confused after being tagged, saying that she had been reporting the progress to everyone all the time? She also said that it was her first time to sign someone, and she had no experience so she kept asking everyone.
Isn’t it outrageous? ! Isn’t it outrageous!! Everyone is just talking nonsense, she is serious!
Just - we also seriously taught her how much to pay artists, saying that she paid too little to the handsome guy at the pancake stall, ahhhhh! Is this the difference between a rich woman reading a novel and me reading a novel? ! ! I read a novel and pounded on the keyboard to beg the director to make it well and not ruin the show, while a rich woman read a novel and spent 10 million to appoint someone who fits the original character's temperament to play the role.
Ahhh, this may be the most outrageous and enviable thing I have ever encountered! But when I think about it, I am also very lucky. At least the book I like has S, a super fan of the original book, to review it. It is outrageous and cool hahahahaha]
This long comment is really long. Even if it is placed in the memo screenshot, it still seems extremely long compared to other messages.
But Wu Yun's eyes lit up. He might not be as sensitive as some big Vs to chasing hot topics, but after reading this long screenshot, he felt refreshed by putting himself in the other person's shoes.
Even if the protagonist is not a "flower by the roadside", he still feels comfortable.
He had a hunch that this message would bring him huge traffic.
Thinking of this, Wu Yun became alert and no longer felt sleepy at all. He picked up the pen and started to analyze.
Hot topics: entertainment industry, rich people Attractive points: reversal, rich book fans defending the original work
Conflict: Conflict between fans of the original novel and the adapted drama
Comfort level: 99% Wu Yun put his pen down with a snap, his eyes shining. According to his experience, this message will attract the public no matter how you look at it. If he adds fuel to the fire...
“Done!!”
At noon the next day, during the prime traffic period, Wu Yun, who had not slept all night because he was too excited about his imagination, uploaded a new Weibo.
There is no nine-square grid, only this long review.
Caption: I declare this the most outrageous of all the comments. I just want to ask one thing, is this gossip true? Under the temptation of traffic, he gave up the safe bet and chose to take a gamble. If he loses, it will only waste a few days and some money. If he wins, such a hot topic will definitely bring him huge traffic.
After posting the blog, he clicked on the promotional blog post, gritted his teeth and recharged his coins to buy the promotion.
After everything was settled, Wu Yun was not so nervous anymore. He threw his phone away, lay down and went to sleep.
He did not sleep well and had a nightmare. He dreamed that the blog post he had high expectations for was not only not popular, but was extremely cold. There were also bad comments below cursing the blogger for his declining quality.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Wu Yun woke up. When he opened his eyes, he felt as if he was still in a dream. After a second, he sat up suddenly, took out his mobile phone and immediately checked the Weibo background.
A few seconds later, deafening laughter filled the room.
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha—”
As she was sniffing, the voice of Wu's mother, who had a very regular sleep and rest schedule, came from next door: "Wu Yun!!!! You deserve a beating for not sleeping so late at night!!!"
Wu Yun immediately covered his mouth in fear, but after thinking about it, he couldn't help it and chuckled softly.
While he was laughing, Sheng Quan was also reading [Riding a Little Donkey]'s Weibo. She couldn't see the background data, but just looking at the front was enough.
This is the one with the fastest increasing popularity among all the blog posts of [Riding a Little Donkey]. It has such a high number of hits and comments in just ten hours. You can imagine how popular this blog post will be if it continues to ferment for a few more days.
Sheng Quan tapped on his phone: "The effect is slightly worse than I expected."
Yu Xiangwan, who was still working overtime late at night, was dressed neatly. Every part of his clothes was ironed flat without a wrinkle. Even his hair looked carefully groomed, making him look even more refined.
He swiped the screen to a PPT presentation with various solutions on it: "If you still want to increase your popularity, you might consider buying reposts. I asked ten influencers on this topic about the price of reposting their blog posts. Here is the price list."
"The hot search price list you asked about before is on this page. Based on the summary of past data, it is more appropriate to buy this type of topic at the 15th position. It will not appear deliberate and can also attract more traffic."
That’s right, this was directed by Sheng Quan.
Even [A Flower by the Roadside] was picked out by Yu Xiangwan from his secondary account. As for why such a gentle and serious person like him has a secondary account named [A Flower by the Roadside], everyone in this line of work has a few secondary accounts specifically used for leaving messages.
Perhaps it is because the ecological environment in the entertainment industry is slightly more harmonious than that in Sheng Quan's previous life, and people use fewer methods to hype up popularity and promote products. At least the trick used by Sheng Quan should not have appeared before.
Even if her previous job was not promotion in the entertainment industry, as a professional melon-eater, the marketing techniques she saw while eating melons were enough.
She felt that the effect was a little low, but Yu Xiangwan thought that such a result was very unexpected, and she wondered how happy [Riding a Little Donkey] must be at this moment.
There is such a thing as becoming famous overnight in the entertainment industry, but that is only after you have a work.
It is easy to imagine how difficult it is to build a tall building without a foundation. No matter where you are, there must be a reason to be noticed and liked by others. Especially in the entertainment industry where competition is fierce and there are many beauties, you can't just rely on your looks.
But if Sheng Quan wanted to promote Yan Hui, who had no serious works yet, Yu Xiangwan followed suit wholeheartedly. He said: "The current development is already very good. I suggest waiting for the popularity to ferment for a while before further promoting it. The effect will be better."
Sheng Quan smiled and said, "You're right. It's better to do things according to plan."
She is not in a hurry, but 006 is.
[Host, you don't have much time left. ]
Sheng Quan was still very calm: [Don't worry, everything has a foreshadowing, do you want to watch the drama? I'll turn on the TV for you.]
How could she not worry? 006 still liked her host very much. It was also the first time for her to build a system. All the information about the system was extracted from the content of novels, but she had never seen a host in a novel like her own. She would chat with it, help it choose clothes, play TV series and movies for it, and sometimes she would appreciate beauties with it and insult the inhuman screenwriters on TV together.
Sheng Quan even lent it his own account, giving it permission to post its own reviews on the Internet.
So Sheng Quan is not in a hurry, but 006 is. If 006 itself is not unable to proceed to the next step, facing Sheng Quan's life span which is getting shorter day by day, it would have wanted to open a back door to prolong Sheng Quan's life.
Unfortunately, the one who was doing the task was Sheng Quan. 006 couldn't understand the twists and turns of human beings. According to its thinking, it could just spend money directly. The host was not without money! Sheng Quan was very good at comforting 006. He took it out to watch the crew shoot a night scene. Sure enough, 006 soon became immersed in the beauty of the beauty and couldn't extricate himself.
Don't be fooled by Wan Bao's untidy appearance, his aesthetic sense is truly amazing. It's just that he didn't have the funds to make it before. Now that he has sufficient funds, the first thing he did was to hire several makeup artists and stylists, and customized all the clothes worn by the protagonists.
Don't get me wrong, he is not customizing it to be better, but re-making it to meet the requirements of the character. Not only does it have to conform to the setting, but it also has to bring out the charm of the character as much as possible within the setting.
The scene to be filmed tonight is a farewell.
When Sheng Quan and the others walked over, under the dim but soft light, a man in a neat police uniform stood there quietly, willow catkins were floating in the sky, light and shadows fell on his face, and gentle sadness flowed.
When he turned his head and looked through the willow catkins, he almost touched everyone's heart, including 006 who loved beautiful women.
Sheng Quan was also poked, but was quickly brought back to his senses by Director Wan Bao, who was looking at the camera and waving his hands to signal the crew to sprinkle more willow catkins.
she:"……"
The scene is indeed very beautiful. It would have been even more perfect if there hadn't been several stagehands standing on ladders, each holding a bag and throwing down handfuls of willow catkins.
"Card--"
After Wanbao called out with satisfaction, Qin Heng, who had just been "tough but gentle, gentle but sad", sneezed, trotted out of the area where willow catkins were flying all over the sky, carefully took off his police uniform, and then patiently patted and rubbed his whole body.
Seeing how busy he was, Sheng Quan quickly realized that willow catkins had gotten into his clothes.
She went forward to help pat it, and the costume and makeup staff who were about to go up to help immediately withdrew when they saw it.
Now this young sponsor is the biggest moneymaker in their crew. She wants to help in person, and he won't be so tactless as to act as a light bulb. It is said that Mr. Sheng is a fan of the original book, so who knows if he will empathize with the character.
Sheng Quan was looking at Yan Hui's arm which was quickly turning red: "No, it's too much. Go take a shower."
Yan Hui shook his head: "Thank you, Mr. Sheng, but I still can't do it. There is another game later, so I just need to take this time to get the feeling."
What a ruthless guy! Just looking at the way the stagehand just sprinkled, he must be itching all over now, but he can endure it. He is really a werewolf.
As Sheng Quan was thinking, a piece of willow catkins floated into her nose. She couldn't help but sneeze, and then she admired Yan Hui even more.
She sneezed just because she was covered in a little willow catkins, but Yan Hui was still able to continue his performance perfectly until the director called cut.
Seeing that Sheng Quan was implicated, Yan Hui quickly stepped back and said, "Boss Sheng, I'll do it myself. Don't let it fall on you."
Before Sheng Quan could reply, a tall figure suddenly appeared in front of her.
The taciturn driver said: "Miss Sheng, let me do it."
After saying this, the driver walked straight forward. Faced with the troublesome willow catkins that would fall again after being easily brushed away, he took out a hair remover that was obviously used for pets and stuck it on Yan Hui, easily sticking the catkins off.
Sheng Quan: The driver is as reliable as ever...but why does the tall and taciturn driver have a pet lint remover?
But speaking of it, she seemed to have forgotten to assign an assistant to Yan Hui. After all, she was not in this line of work before, so there were always some small details that were overlooked.
When she was young, Sheng Quan thought it was very impressive for an actor to have an assistant. But when she grew up and became a small-time actor, she gradually realized that famous actors usually have assistants. For actors with more roles, daily life would be difficult without an assistant. For example, just now there was willow catkins stuck in Yan Hui's clothes, and it was difficult for him to get them out by himself.
This is still a modern drama. If it is a costume drama, the headgear and heavy costumes will make it impossible for the actors to do many things by themselves. There is also shooting in winter in summer and in summer in winter. Managing the body requires a different diet from the crew, etc. At this time, the presence of an assistant is very important.
Although the crew will try their best to take care of actors if they don't bring assistants, it is impossible for every crew to be easy to deal with. There will always be times when they cannot take care of them. Even if they are taken care of, everyone in the crew is usually very busy, and it is not a good idea to add extra work to others.
After understanding the situation clearly, Sheng Quan immediately decided to get Yan Hui a few assistants. He would not let Yan Hui's career development be affected by such a trivial matter.
By the way, she also needs an agent. Although her company has just been established, as a person with a funding system and who plans to develop in the entertainment industry, it is inevitable that the company will grow.
As for what kind of assistant to look for, what kind of agent to look for, and the salary and other trivial matters, she doesn't have to worry about them.
Boss Sheng only needs to give the order and Yu Xiangwan will naturally help her get it done.
Yu Xiangwan was really efficient. Sheng Quan sent him a Feixin message in the evening. He had been to many film crews before and had come into contact with many people. It was not difficult for him to find a few assistants with qualified abilities, suitable personalities and appropriate salaries. Before noon, he had already found three assistants, two men and one woman, with their respective responsibilities and the salary and benefits negotiated.
And I don’t know if he took Sheng Quan’s appearance problem into consideration. Although the three assistants are not good-looking, they are all very pretty and the kind that makes people feel comfortable just by looking at them.
Because Sheng Quan wanted good results and salary was not an issue, after signing the contract, Yan Hui's three assistants rushed over. The latest one arrived at nine o'clock that evening. After arriving, they immediately got down to work and followed Yan Hui, who was shooting the night scene, around and were attentive and enthusiastic.
Yan Hui was flattered, and even the heroine Lin Aike was a little envious: "Yan Hui, your company is so good to you. They assigned you so many assistants, and they are all so careful and serious."
Three assistants: With a salary 20% higher than their peers, how can we not be careful and serious? !
Moreover, they were not signed to Yan Hui personally, but joined Xingmang Company. President Sheng of the company also said that they are still in the probation period. After the probation period, their salary will increase, and there will be a bonus at the end of the year. They will have all five insurances and one fund. In the industry of artist assistants, where the work is more and the pay is less, they can find such a lucrative and stable job. They are so lucky, aren't they?
In reality, working people are all very pragmatic. They earn a lot of money, have good benefits, and have room for advancement. Only a fool would not work hard.
Being diligently taken care of by the three people, Yan Hui, who was originally overwhelmed because his filming was concentrated in these days, felt the benefits of having an assistant, but at the same time, he was also flattered.
Yan Hui used to do everything by himself. In the winter, when he was filming a drowning scene, he had to walk a distance to find clothes to wear after climbing out. In the summer, he still had to endure the heat and deal with the prickly heat after the scene was over. Even though he was signed by Sheng Quan, he was already very grateful for the current contract benefits and never thought about having an assistant.
You know, even Lin Aike only had one assistant, but Sheng Quan gave him three at once.
In response to this, Sheng Quan said: "You have to know that you are an actor and you need to spend your time on your career. You don't need to worry about these trivial matters. You just need to improve yourself, and the company will take care of the rest."
——Develop your career well and don’t be distracted. Work hard to earn me career points, young man~ Yan Hui was startled, and then his already soft eyes softened even more. Does Mr. Sheng trust his ability so much? He responded in a gentle voice, with gratitude in his heart: "Okay, thank you Mr. Sheng, I will work hard."
How can there be such a good person?
There is no suppression, no traps, and only ability is looked at. As long as the actors act well, the rest will be taken care of naturally. This is almost a dream entertainment company.
When he was talking on the phone with his mother at night, he heard his mother asking him how he was doing on the set, whether he had been working so long and had not slept well, and asking him to take good care of himself. When Yan Hui received such calls while filming in the past, he would say that everything was fine, but today, he, who was always calm, said a lot of things.
Everyone in the crew was very friendly to him, the clothes they wore were very clean, and the company assigned him three assistants. He only needed to perform the performances he liked every day and he didn't have to worry about anything else.
"Boss Sheng said he has signed me up for acting classes and body shape classes. I can take them after I finish filming this movie. The company is also arranging the next movie for me. The company wants to train me well. You don't have to worry about the money, mom. Boss Sheng said I can get my salary in advance, which will definitely be enough."
"Okay, okay..." Yan's mother nodded repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "We have met a noble person. If I had known that I should not have accepted the money for the pancake that day, Yan Hui, they have trained you so much, you must repay them well, okay? Don't be like those stars in the news who change jobs after becoming famous. Mr. Sheng may not care, but we must remember this kindness."
"Don't worry, mom. I remember everything."
Yan Hui didn't say much to his mother. He was a very introverted person. No matter how grateful he was, he would not say it out loud, but respond with actions.
After hanging up the phone, Yan Hui felt a little sad, and then he realized that his eyes in the mirror were slightly red.
He had suffered countless hardships in the past ten years and had experienced despair time and time again without seeing a glimmer of hope, but he didn't cry. Now he is crying.
Yan Hui smiled and wiped his eyes. The image of Sheng Quan smiling and patting willow catkins for him today flashed through his mind. He continued to open the script in his hand and practiced in front of the mirror.
He desperately wanted to repay President Sheng and help her like Producer Yu did, but his identity as an actor prevented him from doing anything other than acting well.
Yan Hui forced himself to calm down and focus on practice.
Take your time, Yan Hui. As long as you work hard to improve yourself and play every role well, you will be able to bring benefits to President Sheng and repay her.
Sheng Quan, who was taking his driver out for a comfortable massage, heard the system prompt:
[Ding! Yan Hui's favorability score has exceeded 80. Please note that the system will no longer report when the sponsor's favorability score reaches 80 or above.]
Sheng Quan took off his blindfold: [Wow, it seems Yan Hui really likes those three assistants. Not bad, please remember this and give them bonuses at the end of the year.]
While enjoying the massage, she took out her cell phone.
It is indeed a double happiness.
On Weibo, the topic #What is it like to be a rich fan of the original novel# also began to ferment smoothly.
