Even after being reborn, you're still in the entertainment industry?

Chapter 34 If you lose, you have to make a video
As the base vehicle was destroyed, the words "You win!" popped up on the screen.

Sheng Yunxuan raised his eyebrows and looked at Li Xiaoran, smiling:
"How is it, are you convinced?"

Li Xiaoran, who was playing Red Alert online with Sheng Yunxuan, was so angry that her face turned red. She gritted her teeth and said:

"How can you be like this? You either sell your base vehicle to build troops and then charge in at the beginning, or you put your ox cart directly in front of my mine to block the road..."

"So what? This is called tactics. This is how we play tactics!" Sheng Yunxuan said righteously.

What's wrong with having a little bit of tactical heart?
Li Xiaoran is considered an experienced Red Alert player, but many years later, after players got tired of the game, they started to figure out some fancy operations and dirty tricks.

Li Xiaoran stared at Sheng Yunxuan unwillingly, her already large chest rising and falling even more. She gritted her teeth and said:

"I lost!"

From the initial agreement of "one game determines the winner", to the later "three games, two wins", and now to "five games, three wins".

Li Xiaoran, who had never won a game no matter how she cheated, had a stern face, but she was too embarrassed to continue to refuse to pay.

Sheng Yunxuan picked up the DV next to him and pointed it at her, looking at her with a smile.

Li Xiaoran's expression was a little sad and angry, like a female employee who had just entered the workplace and was threatened by her boss but did not want to lose her job.

"Hey, look more natural! You don't want to think about this...well, cough cough, you have to accept the loss!" Sheng Yunxuan said with a light cough.

With that expression, someone who didn't know would have thought Sheng Yunxuan was filming some other exciting video, and he almost got caught up in it...

When Li Xiaoran met Sheng Yunxuan's smiling eyes, her teeth were almost broken!
It’s so infuriating. Why does such a mean expression appear on this gentle and handsome face?
"I, Li Xiaoran, admit with my real name that I, Red Alert, cannot beat Sheng Yunxuan."

It’s no wonder that her expression of grief and anger, helplessness, and being forced to submit, makes people feel inexplicably comfortable.

Sheng Yunxuan closed the DV with a snap and said with satisfaction:
"Very good, Sister Ran, you really do what you say!"

Li Xiaoran resisted the urge to bite him, picked up the computer and turned away.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly reacted, turned back and said with a stern face:

"Get out, this is my lounge!"

Sheng Yunxuan also knew that he had really pissed the other person off, so he said "Oh" and quickly packed up his things and was kicked out.

Fang Lan, who was also kicked out and couldn't get into the lounge, couldn't help but sigh.

"Brother, Sister Ran is such a nice person, why are you so angry with her?"

Sheng Yunxuan grabbed the DV in his hand and shrugged.
"When playing games, it's normal to have wins and losses."

“But you still take videos of other people.”

"Hey, you can eat whatever you want, but I have to make this clear! I want her to admit that she can't beat me in games, not some other video."

Fang Lan felt even more speechless upon hearing this.

"So you spent over 30,000 yuan out of your own pocket to buy the latest laptop and DV, just to play games with a girl, and then force her to make a video admitting that she's not as good at gaming as you are after you win?"

"Yes, and I made it clear before I made the bet with her that I was planning to upload this video to the internet!"

Sheng Yunxuan, who frankly admitted this, became serious at this moment and continued:
"I'm not bullying her! Red Alert is so popular these days. Almost every internet cafe is playing it, and it has a huge audience." "If this video were posted online, what do you think netizens would think of me and Sister Ran?"

You have to know that today's celebrities still have a sense of superiority.

It was only after Tieba came out that some clever artists used this platform to connect directly with their fans, earning them the reputation of being “down-to-earth”…

In the current entertainment industry where everyone wants to create an "aristocratic" and "high-end" image, two stars suddenly appeared to play games and make bets, and the loser had to record a video to show that his skills were not as good as others.

This will definitely immediately remove the sense of alienation that the identity of a celebrity artist brings to the public, making people feel closer and more popular with passers-by!
It’s a good thing for Li Xiaoran, and even better for Sheng Yunxuan.

Although he now has the role of "Emperor Li Shimin of Qin", the role is famous but he himself is not.

Li Xiaoran is now a well-known young actress in the circle, and Sheng Yunxuan can be said to have taken advantage of her fame and popularity...

In 03 and 04, when network bandwidth was only 2M, there were no smartphones, and personal cameras and other photography devices were not yet popular, the Internet was still in a stage of wild growth.

There are no forums, Weibo, or platforms for uploading and sharing personal videos, and even Penguin Space is not online!
The common publicity and hype method used in the circle now is to find some media reporters to write some reports and then put them on the news website.

Sheng Yunxuan has created a down-to-earth persona as a "game lover" and promoted his image through online platforms and Li Xiaoran's fame. This is a strategy that is several versions ahead of the current versions!
The effect will definitely not reach the level of becoming famous overnight with the help of short videos in later generations. After all, the current Internet penetration rate is there.

However, China has also been vigorously promoting the popularization of the Internet in recent years. By the end of next year, the number of Internet users in China will officially exceed 100 million.

From then on, the general group of "netizens" would use various platforms to express their opinions, and eventually gradually overshadow the authoritative voices of newspaper media and other media.

Even many drama producers, realizing the importance of domestic netizens, have started online voting to select actors...

Fang Lan actually only understood a little bit of what he heard, but she also felt it was impressive.

"By the way, I need to ask Sister Qin to help me find someone to build a website." Sheng Yunxuan continued.

"website?"

"Yes, it's similar to those celebrity personal websites or blogs. I can upload videos, pictures, and text for others to browse and watch!"

"Brother, what are you going to do again?" Fang Lan was completely confused.

Sheng Yunxuan shook the DV in his hand and said:

“Record a wonderful life!”

In fact, what he really wants to do is an online video platform!

The Internet is currently developing rapidly. If it weren't for the special nature of the golden finger, Sheng Yunxuan would have planned to start a business in the Internet sector based on his memories of his past life.

The traffic of early online video platforms was enough to give birth to a bunch of early Internet celebrities, and the most popular ones were no less famous than first- and second-tier stars.

There are also objective factors such as the limited domestic network infrastructure and the low popularity of personal photography equipment in the mainland.

Because these early online video platforms lacked sufficient video content, they developed differently from YouTube in other countries, transforming from simple video sharing platforms to video platforms focusing on film and television.

But no matter how it develops, if such a video platform can be created in advance, it will be of great benefit to Sheng Yunxuan, who is an actor by profession!
However, he didn't have enough money at the moment to build a website that could accommodate too many people uploading and sharing videos, so he could only build a prototype of the website first.

Fortunately, it was early 04, the Lunar New Year hadn't even passed yet, and it would still be more than a year before the earliest video sites like Tudou and YouTube officially launched. He still had time...
