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

Chapter 38 This money is not enough...

Sheng Yunxuan's original intention in establishing the website was to promote its fame by shooting videos and leveraging the Internet's communication capabilities.

So now in addition to teaching videos, the website also has some videos shot by Sheng Yunxuan himself.

There is the original video of Li Xiaoran unwillingly admitting defeat after playing the game, there are also interesting daily scenes shot on the crew, and there are also videos of Sheng Yunxuan's various talents.

Qin Qianrong had previously bought a batch of press releases for him, creating a "talented man" persona for him.

But those text descriptions seem too dry!

No matter how extravagant the reporters' reports are, they can only make people sigh, "This person is quite impressive," and that's all...

But the feeling that the video gives people is obviously much more intuitive!

Because the filming was carried out in the Western Film and Television City, which is also the filming location of "A Chinese Odyssey", Sheng Yunxuan also played the song "Love of a Lifetime" with instruments such as xiao, flute and guzheng.

"A Chinese Odyssey" was a film that failed both at the box office and in the public opinion at the beginning of its release, but its public opinion and reputation have reversed in the past two years.

On the mainland Internet around 04, it was directly regarded as one of the most classic films in Hong Kong!

Sheng Yunxuan played this song with different instruments on the filming location, which was also a way to gain popularity...

Originally, the people who visited the website were all Red Alert game enthusiasts, and most of them came here for the game tutorials.

However, after seeing the videos shot by Sheng Yunxuan, I couldn't help but be attracted to Sheng Yunxuan as a person.

The dozen or so comments below these videos are all netizens praising Sheng Yunxuan's talent.

Originally, the response caused by Sheng Yunxuan this time was only responded to in the game sections of major forums.

But as more and more forum users visited the website, they began to take the initiative to help spread its influence.

Sheng Yunxuan's name began to appear frequently on the two largest forums on the mainland Internet.

In the "Mop" forum, which started out as a gaming forum, netizens frequently quoted Sheng Yunxuan's own teaching videos in posts related to Red Alert, which increased the website's traffic.

On the Tianya forum, someone even went straight to the "Entertainment Gossip" section and posted a message titled "'King Qin Li Shimin', who is proficient in everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting and has outstanding talents!"

The videos quoted in the post include several videos of Sheng Yunxuan playing musical instruments, as well as several videos of the crew's daily life.

When the video started playing, Sheng Yunxuan was seen painting with a brush in his hand. When he looked up and saw that the camera was facing him, he smiled as gentle and clean as the warm sun.

Sheng Yunxuan's already outstanding appearance, coupled with the warm, clear, and outstanding and dazzling temperament brought by the [Appearance of the Sun and the Moon] entry, is really eye-catching.

Then Sheng Yunxuan in the video started to complain to the camera:
"When we were filming just now, I saw that Qi Shaoshang's wanted poster was so sloppy and didn't look like him at all. I thought, how can we catch him with such a portrait? So I helped draw one myself!"

After he finished speaking, the camera turned and showed the comparison between the portrait that Sheng Yunxuan had just drawn and the portrait originally used by the crew.

The portraits of the crew are quite sloppy and simple, and it is impossible to tell who they are. It feels like they are just trying to fool the audience.

On the other hand, the portrait that Sheng Yunxuan just painted allows people to recognize at a glance that the actor playing "Qi Shaoshang" is Zhang Zhilin!
A large number of comments began to emerge under the posts and videos.

"It's Li Shimin, the Prince of Qin."

"He may not be the best Li Shimin, but he is definitely the most handsome Li Shimin!" "..."

"Hahaha, I've always thought so. Those wanted posters in TV dramas nowadays, there's no way they can catch anyone!"

"Although I don't know which crew he's talking about, I know the protagonist is Zhang Zhilin as soon as I see the portrait..."

"Well, when I looked at those ancient paintings, I always thought that a brush couldn't draw a portrait. But now that I see his paintings, it turns out that a brush can also draw a realistic portrait!"

"Actually, the ancients paid more attention to meaning and expression in their paintings...but he really paints well!"

"Painting tools like brushes are very demanding for artists. It's difficult to make rough drafts, controlling shading is difficult, and expressing light and dark contrasts is also difficult. It seems that actor Li Shimin's painting skills are quite high!"

"He's proficient in so many musical instruments and can also paint with a brush. I can't fault him, he's truly a talented person!"

"He only played Li Shimin once. The actor's real name is Sheng Yunxuan!"

"I declare that I will be his fan from now on!"

"..."

This video was filmed under Sheng Yunxuan's personal supervision, and every shot was meticulously designed, including the side profile, the raised smile, the display of his painting skills, and so on...

Everything in the video is to "show" Sheng Yunxuan, even the complaints in the video are the same!

The wanted posters in movies and TV shows these days are so sloppy that it’s unbearable to look at and makes people want to complain.

However, today's netizens are the most anti-authoritarian group, and "Tucao" can even be regarded as one of the labels of early Internet users.

Sheng Yunxuan's complaint that the portraits in today's film and television dramas are too fake and don't look like the real people at all struck a chord with the majority of netizens and attracted quite a lot of recognition.

At this time, Sheng Yunxuan finally created a little stir on the Internet with the role of "King Qin Li Shimin" and this incident, and gained a certain fame and fan base.

This was a good thing, but things went too smoothly, which was a bit beyond Sheng Yunxuan's expectations.

At this time, he had to face another problem, that is, due to the surge in website traffic, the rented server could not handle it.

It is inevitable that many bugs will be found in the simple website that was initially built during use.

More importantly, we should strike while the iron is hot and enable website users to upload videos in advance.

Otherwise, once this wave of popularity has passed, how many people can be attracted to visit the website just by the videos released by Sheng Yunxuan himself?

Changing servers, recruiting programmers to maintain website operations, and opening up video upload functions to the public all require money!

But at this time, Sheng Yunxuan only had 50,000 yuan in salary from the crew of "Against the Cold Water".

After all, this is not the time when capital is entering the entertainment industry and first-line actors are often paid tens of millions, hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

Actually, it's not that low. What's the average salary in mainland China these days? The average house price in Yanjing is still around 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per square meter.

However, this amount of money is indeed not enough for Sheng Yunxuan...
