Rebirth of Chinese Entertainment, starting with the strategy of 95 flowers to counterattack

Chapter 35: The End of the Official Media (asking for monthly tickets)
How long does it take for a new actor to become famous?
Andy Lau might say that as long as he had a good platform, he could have played Yang Guo and become a household name in just two years.

Stephen Chow will tell you, how can it be that easy?

He played supporting roles for ten years before he finally got the chance to act in "God of Gamblers".

Wu Jing might sigh that it is easy to become famous. He became famous after starring in "Kung Fu Kid".

But he eventually became a billionaire movie star, having played supporting roles for twenty years.

And Gu Yang would say to them: "Dear seniors, times have changed!"

Douyin, changes your life!
On the night the video was released, the number of views exceeded 300 million.

At noon the next day, the topic #狼战狼二顾阳，98K枪舞# became a hot search, and the page views exceeded 100 million.

Douyin's daily active users surpassed 3000 million that day, primarily concentrated in first- and second-tier cities, those under 24. Gu Yang's videos went viral among university students, street dance enthusiasts, and military fans.

On the third day, according to Douyin’s internal data, within 72 hours of the video being online, the related topic had been played over 8 million times, and 37 imitation videos had been generated.

In three days, Gu Yang's personal account grew from 5 followers to 180 million, and is still growing rapidly.

Of course, many investors do not want to see a video go viral and break the circle.

Because now is the era of traffic.

Before 2014, there was no such term as "top stream" in Chinese entertainment.

The entertainment industry at that time was greatly impacted by the Korean Wave.

People who don’t pay attention to the entertainment industry may not be able to imagine how popular Korean stars were at that time.

Quan Zhilong came to Mango TV to participate in a program. Du Haitao knelt down on the spot. When Baby saw it, she was so excited that she couldn't walk and turned into a little fan girl.

Many young people go to South Korea to debut as trainees, and then become top stars when they return to their country.

The most famous ones are of course the four returning sons.

You can pick any resources you want, just like a max-level boss slaughtering a novice village.

At that time, the capitalists spent a lot of resources to create the first generation of the four top streamers.

They are Lu Han, Yang Yang, Wu and Li.

Together with the three little ones at that time, they were called "Big Four and Three Little Ones".

It’s just that these top-tier characters all have a bit of a tough personality.

Lu Han, with his mind full of love, chose to make the official announcement when the news was at its peak to give himself some time to calm down.

Yang Yang, the flowering period is a bit short, and he will soon enter the greasy period.

Wu later went into politics, got a job, and retired from the entertainment industry.

Li was dragged down by his second brother and was banned.

It’s really hard to put it into words!

And 2017 was their golden age.

At this time, the rise of a tough guy like Gu Yang is definitely not what the capital behind them wants to see.

In the Korean aesthetic, fair and tender young men are the mainstream. What do you think of a dark-skinned guy like you?

Focusing on masculine beauty? If you become famous, won't it corrupt netizens' taste?
Fuck him!

So, when Gu Yang's short video became popular and began to go viral, they spontaneously began to block it.

A large number of negative articles were published and online trolls were rampant.

The entire network is in chaos.

Gu Yang’s eighteen generations of ancestors who were slandered are about to come out.

However, things are different now. Gu Yang now has his own fan club.

This was something he never expected.

His fan club is called "Pleasant Goat" and already has quite a few little girls.

He rushed forward to fight, roaring.

They also have their own slogans.
"Don't be afraid of the negative articles, as the sheep will protect the sun and let the enemy retreat."

"Don't be so arrogant, black guy. I'll destroy you and make you famous."

"Gu Yang is amazing at everything he does, and Yang Yang will never stop loving you."

He is no longer fighting alone!
……

The online chaos did not last long, because no one expected that it would happen on the fifth day after the video was released.

Huaxia Daily reposted Gu Yang's video and wrote: "This is what young people in the new era should look like!"

A hammer!
The wind direction on the Internet suddenly changed.

The marketing accounts that had been criticizing Gu Yang the most these past two days deleted all the negative articles at an extremely fast speed.

Then he transformed himself and started licking vigorously.

From Wu Jing to Gu Yang: The Awakening of Chinese Tough Guys' Aesthetics

Pleasant Goat vs. Capital Wolf: How the Post-95s Generation Rectifies the Entertainment Industry

The content was so exaggerated that even Gu Yang himself couldn't believe it.

……

Mr. East 8th District Crew

"Brother Han, what should we do now? Should we continue to do it to him?" The assistant stood at the door of the dressing room with his neck hunched, and the news of Gu Yang being praised by the official media was still on his mobile phone screen.

Zhang Han threw the script in his hand over and said, "Fuck you! Are you a pig? Haven't you figured it out yet?"

"Even the official media has been punished. This guy has a powerful background! We can't afford to offend him."

"Ah? So awesome? Then what should we do? Should we apologize?"

The assistant was also confused. How did fighting a soldier turn into fighting a boss?
"What's there to apologize for?" Zhang Han glanced at his assistant like a fool. "Who knew it was us? Didn't I tell you to be more sensible when hiring online influencers?"

"Now just focus on filming this movie. In the end, the entertainment industry still relies on the work to speak for itself!"

"Brother Han is awesome!" the assistant immediately gave a thumbs-up. "Don't worry, when I hired the online trolls, I specifically told them they were working for you, Brother Han, and they couldn't be perfunctory!"

"What the hell?"

"From today on, you are a temporary worker."

……

"Brother Cong, where are we going?"

At this time, Gu Yang was in Wang Sicong's luxury car.

Wang Sicong has been working in a company in Yanjing these days. When he finally had some free time, he immediately thought of his younger brother.

After making an appointment over the phone, you must drive to pick him up.

"Go to my house!"

"Why are we going to your house?"

"Let's play together! Didn't I say I'd help you rank up when I had time?"

"..."

Gu Yang was speechless. Brother Cong, why are you so persistent?

I told you that I am a bronze player out of modesty. I was afraid that telling you that I am an Ionian King would undermine your confidence!
This is very difficult.

"By the way, do you know why the official media is supporting you this time?"

Speaking of this, Gu Yang was really curious.

You know, the official media will not easily join the team.

"why?"

"How should I put it? You're lucky."

"Do you know about the THAAD incident last July? After that incident, the ban on Koreans actually started."

"Although the higher-ups have been denying this incident, you know..."

"I've received news that there will be a major move next month. A large number of Korean TV series will be asked to be removed from the shelves. This time, they're serious."

"so serious?"

"Right! And the entertainment industry has been a mess these past few years. Some people are promoting Korean Wave and sissy culture all day long. The higher-ups have noticed this a long time ago."

"So I say you're lucky. The tough guy image in your video, combined with the patriotic sentiments of Wolf Warrior, perfectly aligns with mainstream values."

That's it!

"Anyway, I'm definitely supporting you. Don't be timid, just do it!"

Gu Yang actually believed this!
Because just a few days ago, Brother Cong was fighting with someone online.

The relationship with South Korea has been strained recently. While making money here, G-Dragon posted: "If the country needs me, I will enlist directly."

When Congge saw this, he started scolding him and told him to go back to Korea.

He didn't take this Asian superstar seriously at all.

I also bought a necklace of the same style as G-Dragon for my dog.

It was extremely humiliating and no face was given at all.

He's just a celebrity, what's so great about him? If I were in Korea, I'd be a chaebol.

So Wang Sicong has a very positive outlook on life!
