After all, there were blogs at that time. They had been developed for several years and had a large user base. It was not possible to attract traffic just by attracting traffic.
The real peak of Weibo's development was between 2010 and 2013! As users dug deeper, they increasingly found that Weibo was much more useful than blogs.
The threshold for blog publishing is relatively high. It is difficult for ordinary people to "get on the front page", and the interactivity is not strong. Compared with personal social networking sites, the blog platform has a very high presence, and everyone is more like a blog columnist.
The key factors that make Weibo popular are its low threshold, sociality and decentralization.
Anyone can edit and publish content within 140 words. Even if you don’t say anything, people will still read it if you just post a picture.
This method greatly increases the audience, makes interaction between people easier and more convenient, and greatly improves sociality.
The strong real-time and dissemination characteristics have also achieved decentralization to a certain extent, transferring the website's hot spots and traffic from the platform to the hands of netizens.
Due to all these factors, coupled with the development of mobile Internet, Weibo quickly replaced blogs after its rise and became the most popular social networking site in a short period of time.
However, at present, Weibo is just starting out, the number of users is still relatively small, and there are not many celebrities who have joined the platform.
There are even quite a few that are simply doing business, opening an account, saying hello and leaving it there.
On the one hand, many celebrities are more interested in blogging and are not interested in wasting time on this new website with unknown prospects. On the other hand, it is also because of blogs.
As mentioned before, blogging has a certain threshold and most people cannot master it, except for a few top bloggers such as Xu Cainü and Han Han.
Most celebrities don’t run blogs. The click rates on their blogs are very touching, but they don’t get any very good feedback. They are even less effective than forums and personal websites.
Therefore, without understanding Weibo, many celebrities subconsciously do not take it seriously.
Under such circumstances, Wei Yang, who was reborn with cheats, actually got an advantage and seized a time difference.
Weibo has just been launched and has a limited user base. The ceiling for the number of followers is less than 200,000.
Wei Yang is temporarily in the lead, but the second is not Fan Xiaopang, but Yao Dazui.
After "The Disguiser", Yao Dazui is now extremely popular. More importantly, she is very active on Weibo, even more active than Wei Yang, so it is natural that she gains fans quickly.
In comparison, although Fan Xiaopang opened a Weibo account because of "My Love from the Star", he only posted one message and left it there, clearly showing that he did not take it seriously.
Otherwise, with her popularity, she could easily beat Wei Yang and Yao Dazui. Even so, she is still firmly in the top three, and the gap between her and the top two is not far.
Ranked fourth are Chun Ge and Zhou Bichang. Sina should have a cooperation with Tianyu. The hosts of Hunan Satellite TV and the artists under Tianyu were the first batch to settle in, occupying four seats in the top ten alone.
It is worth mentioning that Tang Yan joined the group together with "My Love from the Star" and caught up with the popularity of "The Chinese Paladin 3". She currently has tens of thousands of fans and ranks 13th.
Compared to Fan Xiaopang and Qiao Zhenyu who are just doing their job perfunctorily, Tang Yan is quite diligent and has the most interactions with Wei Yang on Weibo.
Well, there is also Li Jiahang, but he is not famous enough and has no certification, so many people think he is some fanatical fan...
…
CCTV Building, Beijing
The famous Big Pants has not been built yet, and its headquarters is now located in Haidian.
It was Wei Yang's first time here, and he walked around curiously. In fact, apart from the halo of CCTV, it was just so-so. Some places were even not as exquisite as those of Blue Whale Company.
The press conference for "Criminal Police" was held in the morning. Wei Yang arrived early and chatted with director Li Lu, leading actors He Bing, Chen Su, Hai Yitian and others.
Compared with last year, Wei Yang's identity has changed a lot. At that time, he was just a rookie, and was a junior both as a screenwriter and an actor.
Now he is a popular young actor and the most popular screenwriter in the industry. He has even become a capitalist, completing a "triple jump" in just half a year.
Except for Li Lu and He Bing, who have strong backgrounds and are a big name in the National Theatre of China and a popular actor, who were relatively calm, the attitudes of the other main creators towards Wei Yang were much more cordial and friendly.
Although Wei Yang spends more time in Shanghai, we are all in the same circle. You might end up filming a movie under him someday, so if you can be friends with him, you definitely won't offend him.
Even Li and He's attitude towards Wei Yang has changed a lot compared to before.
This is human nature, not just in the entertainment industry, but in every industry.
After all, Wei Yang is not really a young man in his early twenties, so he remains calm about these things.
When he visited the set as a guest before, he was low-key and steady, neither humble nor arrogant, and there is no trace of impetuousness now. He still has the same attitude as he got along with everyone then, but with a little more friendship and tacit understanding like old acquaintances meeting each other.
Seeing this, Li Lu, He Bing and others couldn't help but nodded secretly and looked at Wei Yang with even higher regard.
It is rare to achieve success at a young age.
But he did not get carried away after achieving success at a young age. Instead, he remained true to his original intention. It is even more rare to be cautious and low-key in doing things and being a person!
There are many people in the entertainment industry who become arrogant once they gain power.
Not to mention young people, even some late bloomers may not be able to stick to their original intentions.
Therefore, the more this is the case, the more precious Wei Yang's current mentality seems.
While waiting for the press conference, a few people were chatting, and He Bing expressed his admiration for Wei Yang without any reservation.
"I used to think that this guy was a good person, but now I see that he is a very clear-headed person with a lot of experience."
Li Lu also praised: "It is said that Xiao Wei is a talented person. He has read a lot of books, is shrewd, and can stay calm when encountering problems."
“It’s not without its flaws.”
Hai Yitian looked at Wei Yang who was chatting passionately with Chen Su not far away, smacked his lips and said: "You need to improve your personal lifestyle."
The producer next to him smiled and said, "He is a talented and romantic man, and he is young, so it is understandable."
He Bing also complained: "How many men are not lustful? If this guy could let go of everything, he would become a fairy."

Wei Yang had no idea that several people were discussing him, otherwise he would have cried out that he was wronged.
Although I am lustful, I am not a male dog in heat. I fall in love with every woman I see.
He chatted with Chen Su mainly to get closer to her and then exchange contact information.
If he remembered correctly, the TV series "Iron Pear Flower" starring Chen Su will be a hit next year, and she will become famous overnight. Although she is not a huge star afterwards, she is still well-known and is even considered one of the leaders in the lesbian circle.
Wei Yang admired Chen Su's charming mature woman style and even associated her with many characters.
So I came here specifically to communicate, maybe there will be an opportunity for cooperation in the future.
Wei Yang even had the idea of poaching people. Currently, Blue Whale really lacks a mature female star. He wanted to poach Zeng Li before, but she signed with Rong Xinda instead.
The company Chen Su works for now is average, but she hasn't thought about changing jobs in the short term. However, if the boss is optimistic about her, she doesn't mind giving him a try.
After a while of greetings and chatting, the press conference began, and CCTV columns and some reporters and media were all in place.
Normal screenwriters have almost no presence at this kind of press conference, and there is a high chance that they won’t even be able to get on stage.
However, Wei Yang was obviously different and received extremely high treatment. If the host had not controlled the situation, the questions he was asked might even have exceeded those of He Bing and other main creators.
Then again, Wei Yang came to attend the press conference this time to support "Criminal Police" and increase its exposure, so it is impossible for him to be too low-key.
"Criminal investigation and mystery themes have always been my personal favorite. I have actually written novels on similar themes, and they sold quite well (laughs). If there is a chance in the future, I also hope to produce or star in film and television works of this theme."
"I played a cameo role in the TV series myself, but unfortunately I couldn't play more due to schedule reasons. I still feel a little regretful."
"Teacher He Bing's "The Judge Advocate of the Song Dynasty" is one of my favorite TV series. I have also watched Su Jie's "The Secret Calculation" many times, including Teacher Hai Yitian, who is actually my senior at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. I am personally very honored to see my screenwriting works being performed by these excellent actors, and I have also learned a lot from them."
“…”
In fact, the format of this kind of press conference is roughly the same, especially for screenwriters, who talk about the background of their creations and then promote each other commercially.
He praised the director and the actors, and other creators also said that the script and plot were particularly good, blah blah.
The only difference was that He Bing praised Wei Yang's acting skills one more time, saying that the part where Wei Yang made a cameo appearance was filmed very well, which made Wei Yang quite happy.
To be honest, there has never been much criticism about Wei Yang's acting skills, but maybe it's because he has only starred in idol dramas, so there aren't many people praising him.
In the TV series with the best reputation, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star", Wei Yang actually performed quite well, and his role as Zhang Wansen was also deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
But with the help of the super-talented Liu Shishi, Zhang Wansen is more popular among the two characters. But when it comes to acting skills, many people would choose to vote for Lin Beixing.
Even because of her good performance in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", Liu Shishi has now been called a "powerful young actress" by some media.
Da Mimi has been in the industry for many years and has played several popular roles, but she has never been able to get this title. Liu Shishi became a goddess with one drama and ended up being the representative of the powerful young actresses in the domestic entertainment industry.
Liu Shishi is under a lot of pressure now. She knows her own worth and would rather be a vase than be "praised to death" like this...
Wei Yang naturally cannot be labeled as a "talented young actor". Many people in the industry praise him for his talent and good conduct, but few praise his acting skills.
Now that he was publicly recognized by He Bing, a big shot in the National Theatre of China, I couldn't say I was flattered, but I felt a little secretly happy in my heart.
So much so that after the press conference, Wei Yang insisted on taking He Bing out for dinner, wanting to hear him praise him more in person.
