In order to live in seclusion, I tricked my roommate into falling in love.

Chapter 256: Only after tasting the sweetness can you understand how hard it is to bear the bitterness
If you like to play, then play. When you get old and lose your looks, you can just leave your life to the Buddha and leave it to fate.

As the real corporate party, Zi Xiaowei negotiated with the internet celebrity MCN agencies that were lining up.

It just so happened that his main English knowledge from teaching and training came in handy at this time.

However, although the internet celebrities who were called in one by one were full of respect, most of them were careless and perfunctory.

My eyes were always glancing at the delicious food and fun things outside.

Also, don’t overestimate how profound the vision and thoughtful character of internet celebrities are?
Zi Xiaowei was a little disappointed. It was obvious that these were all hollow things with a beautiful appearance.

Those internet celebrities who gathered in Jiangzhou.

Even the vulgar and funny stories about monsters and ghosts are based on the obsession to succeed and to make money desperately to change their destiny.

Almost all of these Sawadee Kas are enjoying themselves while they are young and beautiful.

There is a local anchor guild with thousands of internet celebrities under its umbrella, with an average fan base of no more than 100,000, and an average income of about 17,000 baht, which is about 3,000 yuan per month.

Are you satisfied?

Why not just lie down and enjoy it?

How the hell can capitalists drive productivity?

He even suspected that the companies he contacted were too low-end and were all just idlers.

Several mainland Chinese executives quickly explained, "The highest ranking actress in the entire country is that South Korean girl group member. She's the only celebrity with over 100 million followers. The others have quickly fallen to the 10-20 million fan base, but they're already the most famous actresses in the country. You can count them on your fingers. Below that are the mid-level earners, making over a million baht. The best earn between 50 and 1 million baht. Only those with a bit of ambition and fighting spirit are considered to have a bit of a fighting spirit. The rest are used to just enjoying themselves after making a little money. It's a headache for us too."

Zi Xiaowei finally caught a glimpse of the gray-green-haired girl standing in the far corner. She was still looking at the hustle and bustle outside, and occasionally glancing at the capitalists who were negotiating here, her expression full of complex entanglements.

He pointed over there and asked, "What does she do?"

Several companies, both domestic and foreign, asked each other about the situation before one company, surprised, recognized her. "Greya? Why is she here? Sorry, she might be in our company management group. She might have come on her own after the group notification was sent. Didn't you recognize her?"

Zi Xiaowei looked at her carefully and shook his head again: "Who is she?"

The boss of this store called out in English: "Grea, go on stage and sing that song!"

Zi Xiaowei had been observing, and the girl quickly put her hands together and bowed in gratitude, but a hint of helpless smile flashed across her face.

He is quite good at reading the expressions of students like this.

The dance floor in the atrium outside is colorful. Enter the lobby of the building, walk through the corridor, and step onto the exquisitely carved wooden staircase. The crystal chandelier with a curtain-like shape descends from the sky to the ground, and a strong imprint of the old times permeates the air.

Plus a rich and delicious buffet, a wide range of fine wines and drinks, and the fragrant breeze and beautiful scenery.

There are really two different worlds, inside and outside, and capital looks coldly at the vibrant atmosphere.

Then Gloria walked out of the hallway and spoke to the DJ. The music was delayed a little reluctantly, and the boss here hurried out to give instructions.

It slowly slid down and changed to the prelude of a new piece of music. The handsome men and beautiful women in the dance floor were not affected at all. It felt like just a short break, and then they began to sway gently to the melody again.

Several sets of cameras followed Tingbaobao and Maizi, capturing many scenes of them dancing with others.

They are in great shape. Gao Tingting is versatile and can perform various dances. Maizi's main style is free and easy and charming, which amazes the internet celebrities in China.

No wonder he is a top internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers.

Dai Anni was already sweating profusely. She hugged Chang Yueling and muttered, "Isn't this unfaithful to her husband?"

The overseas returnees laughed so hard their waists ached: "How can this be called being unfaithful to one's wife? Everyone has the right to pursue happiness and enjoy life. Be happy and release your emotions!"

But when Gloria stood on the stage with the microphone and sang the song "Shape of You", the Chinese and Lu people present had two completely different reactions.

Not only Gao Tingting and Maizi were panting and supporting each other, they also stopped dancing and looked up at the girl.

Even Zhizhi and the other staff members were curious and looked over.

Around Zi Xiaowei, the staff from the domestic overseas MCN agencies also said to each other: "Fuck, it's her! Why has she become like this now?"

But all the Lu people just turned a blind eye and let it pass by like the wind passing by their ears, without feeling anything.

That’s right, even Zi Xiaowei could recognize that this was a Chinese internet celebrity who suddenly became popular in China four or five years ago.

After all, before the epidemic, China was the most preferred destination for domestic outbound tourism.

A teenage girl singing on the roadside in a scenic area of ​​Lu State was accidentally photographed by a tourist, and then posted on the domestic Internet, where she somehow became a hit.

Explosion.

It’s a bit like the inexplicable popularity of Zhang Han in "Wa Ya Wa" and "Screw Factory".

Zi Xiaowei was busy being a gold medal teacher at that time, but he also watched his videos in his spare time and listened to this somewhat sexy English love song countless times.

Maybe it was because her pure appearance and her slightly hoarse voice at that time were in stark contrast, she sang with great feeling and was unforgettable at first sight.

The singing voice is still the same now, but even an amateur like Zi Xiaowei can tell that it is too oily.

It's like a chef who has cooked the same dish thousands of times, and his performance is so skillful and slick without any inner anxiety.

Looking at the girl with gray-green hair on the stage, she has completely lost her youthful vibe. She is a little plump, wearing a short skirt that covers her hips, a T-shirt, thick-soled leather shoes, and white socks. She looks like everyone else.

She was originally from a farming family, so even calling her a beauty was a bit of a stretch.

She's just an ordinary bar singing girl.

Perhaps her blooming period was only a brief moment in her teenage years.

The company's CEO lamented, "They're unwilling to obey the company's management, let alone manage their bodies and image. At the height of their popularity, they were even taken to mainland China for performances. They even had over a million fans on Weibo, but they only signed a contract for a short period and then left because they felt tired. Now they're out of fashion, and no one cares about them anymore. They're just sad."

Anyway, the Chinese internet celebrities at the scene were not affected at all by who was singing the song.

After all, this is true because tourists took some photos and brought them back, which made the image popular on the domestic Internet, and then the image became popular on the Internet to reap the popularity and traffic. It has nothing to do with the country of Lu.

Even these young internet celebrities, who are generally under 20 years old, don’t know who this is.

Only Gao Tingting and the others were paying attention, watching this very ordinary resident singer bow and leave the stage after singing.

The DJ quickly started to get excited again, and was almost annoyed that the country bumpkins came from nowhere and disturbed our rhythm.

Zi Xiaowei kept watching, and saw that Graya bowed with her head lowered and her hands clasped together. After confirming that the boss here was still looking at her, he approached carefully.

Aunt Yang, who was sitting next to him, was really puzzled: "You don't want so many beautiful ones, but this one?"

Zi Xiaowei was also helpless: "What else can we do? These internet celebrities have no fighting power at all. Don't expect them to help boost sales. At least this can be used in China first."

Yes, he is good at judging students’ attitudes.

The biggest difference between Greya and these internet celebrities is that she has actually been to China, seen a bit of the world, and knows that there is a huge world out there.

So he humbly came over and sat down with his hands folded, with half of his butt touching the edge of the chair, and then he could actually speak a little Chinese: "Hello, nice to meet you..."

It turns out that in order to cater to domestic tourists, she has been singing more Chinese songs since she was a child, such as "Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies" and "What Do You Say?", which are the kind of songs that mainland children sing English songs but the audience doesn't understand the meaning.

Then in the past two years, domestic tourists often came to visit and communicate with us, and we could exchange a few polite words.

I can barely communicate in English.

Zi Xiaowei was very sure in his heart: "Can you drive?"

Gray nodded immediately: "Yes, I can ride a motorcycle. I rode here from Pattaya, which is 130 kilometers away."

That’s right. Capitalists can only make money if people are motivated to run hundreds of kilometers to get to work.

Zi Xiaowei's mood brightened considerably. "Look, we can sign a contract with you and go to China to become an internet celebrity and make money. Are you willing?"

Unexpectedly, Graya hesitated: "How do you make money? I don't want to sing on stage anymore. I know my singing is just average and you can't make any money..."

The previous company was just sitting there, looking very unhappy.

That’s right, what level of talent can a resident singer in a scenic spot have? She became popular because of the contrast between her image and voice, but the novelty wore off.

Just like that person who keeps digging, it’s hard to keep her popularity even if people pay to watch her performance and give her tips during live broadcasts.

Grabbing a quick buck and leaving is the common tactic of these short-lived internet celebrities.

It is difficult to monetize, so a few years ago when she went to perform in China, she was met with cold reception and awkwardness. This helped her accumulate millions of fans. She still occasionally uploads a video to get some rewards.

It is said that it is more difficult for internet celebrities in Luzhou to monetize. There is no systematic advertising revenue sharing here, and internet celebrities have to take advertising orders themselves, so most internet celebrities can only rely on tips for income.

But even so, Gloria earns much better than ordinary internet celebrities because she can enjoy the dividends from a few years ago.

It would be fine if she kept eating, but she was quite satisfied with the extra income from singing.

However, after the epidemic, the tourism revenue of the entire Lu country plummeted. It was basically difficult for her to get daily income from tourists, and the burden of supporting her family fell on her shoulders.

So this is why she learned from the group that a big internet celebrity from the mainland was recruiting people and drove over on her own initiative.

Zi Xiaowei laughed in his heart and told you to lie down. Hahaha, once you have tasted some sweetness and lived a good life, you can't go back, right?
Saying that you have no desires or demands only means that you know that no matter how hard you try, it will be useless and it is impossible to cross the class barrier.

At least in China, there's still this possibility: "Well, you don't need to sing. Just sign a contract with us, fly over for a week each month, and the rest of the time is up to you. In the future, you might even be working in China. If you're willing to do it, sign the contract and we'll discuss the details. It's absolutely legal, safe, and lucrative. It's basically advertising for cars."

Graya was obviously trying hard to resist temptation and try to be rational: "How much income do you have?"

Zi Xiaowei made a rough estimate: "Starting from 500,000 Thai baht per month, I estimate I can earn more than one million..."

With a bang, the Chinese MCN agencies around who could understand were in an uproar. This kind of outdated internet celebrity can earn a monthly income of RMB 100,000 to 200,000. The company must earn more. What kind of trick is this!

Please lead the way!
They had to leave and go overseas because they couldn't make a splash in the domestic market. Has the domestic market evolved to this level now?

We can also provide you with a blood transfusion channel, so you can input any internet celebrity player you want!

Some people even hinted that we can arrange anything you want, with so many beautiful girls and handsome guys, or even a half-male, half-female pair.

The stepmother was watching from the side and was furious, saying, "Get out!"

But at this moment, the dance floor suddenly became noisy.
