American Hunting: Starting with Solitary Life in the Wilderness

Chapter 84: One Million Fans in Ten Minutes

Lin Yu-an's amazing performance on the show, and the immeasurable market potential behind him.

Like the most tempting smell of blood, it instantly attracted countless "commercial sharks".

After the episode featuring him hunting black bears aired, his phone was practically ringing off the hook with calls.

Phone calls and text messages flooded in, and my inbox was overflowing with letters of intent for cooperation in various languages ​​and wordings.

"Mr. Lin, we are an innovative talent agency, and we have an S+ level plan for your future development..."

"Hello Mr. Lin, I am an agent from United Elite Brokerage. We hope to represent you in all your business activities worldwide..."

"Lin! I'm a talent scout from Faze Clan! We think you're a perfect fit for our brand! Interested in doing something cool together?"

Various top MCN agencies, brokerage firms, and brands are trying to contact him through every possible channel, offering increasingly attractive terms.

From guaranteed annual salaries of millions of dollars to endorsements of various luxury brands, and even audition opportunities for Hollywood action movies.

Lin Yu'an was so annoyed by this sudden frenzy that he had to put the phone into airplane mode to get a moment of peace.

He knew he had to stay calm. He already had the ability to create a spatial cheat system, so he wouldn't be short of money and shouldn't be tempted by these benefits.

In this life, he only wants to do something free, something meaningful, or even something that contributes to society.

His personal WeChat account was flooded with friend requests and messages from various classmates.

He ignored them all and set his WeChat account to reject all friend requests.

"Brother An, this is Lao Mao from Bilibili. Is it convenient for you to have a voice call right now? I have something urgent and important to discuss with you."

After Lin Yu'an replied that he could, the other party immediately sent a voice call request.

As soon as the call connected, Old Cat's voice carried a barely perceptible hint of urgency.

"I bet you're bombarded with calls and emails right now, aren't you?"

“You could say yes,” Lin Yu’an replied calmly.

"I'll get straight to the point: in the latest episode, after you hunted the black bear, your commercial value has exploded!"

“The ‘Phoenix Project’ agreement we offered before, while still generous, is frankly no longer a good match for your current worth and potential.”

"In you, we see the potential to become the next global cultural icon!"

"Therefore, please remain calm and do not easily accept any invitations from MCNs!"

"After an all-night emergency meeting of our senior management, we have decided to offer you a brand-new, top-level strategic cooperation agreement that is the most sincere Bilibili has ever made."

Old Cat began to offer conditions that no creator could refuse.

"First, we will increase the signing fee from RMB 1 million to RMB 5 million! It will still be paid in a lump sum after tax."

"Furthermore, regarding the operations team, it will no longer be an outsourced team, but rather Bilibili's most elite employees will be directly drawn to build a dedicated 'Lin Yu'an Studio' for you!"

"Building on the Phoenix Project, we have also added 'Splash Screen Recommendation,' 'First Screen Recommendation,' and 'Millions of Traffic Targets' to ensure that your fan base easily surpasses one million."

"Most importantly, regarding the profit sharing, we're adjusting the previous 70/30 split to 80/20!"

"After deducting necessary taxes and distribution costs, you will personally receive 80% of all net commercial revenue! That's the same as our top-tier content creators!"

“Brother An, you must be receiving countless offers of help right now.”

"But what we want to tell you is that Bilibili and its hundreds of millions of young Chinese users are your strongest and most reliable support."

"We are willing to make a deep and long-term partnership with you with the utmost sincerity. We accept all your requirements regarding account ownership and content autonomy and have included them in our S-level contract."

After hearing what Lao Mao said, Lin Yu'an remained silent for a moment.

He had to admit that Bilibili's response speed and the terms they offered once again exceeded his expectations.

This is not just a business collaboration, but more like a high-stakes gamble. Bilibili has placed a heavy bet on him, intending to cultivate him into a flagship content creator for Bilibili.

“I understand, Old Cat. I accept your sincerity. My lawyer will discuss the details of the cooperation with you.”

"Now, let's talk about the upcoming official announcement plan."

……

Hours later, countless fans of the "Wilderness Solitary Living" series on Bilibili focused their attention on the finale of "Wilderness Solitary Living: Grizzly Mountain".

The finale was broadcast live, with the program ending with Lin Yu-an winning the championship.

In Bilibili's official live stream of "Living Alone in the Wilderness," the pent-up comments erupted like a volcano!

We won!! We won!!!

[An Shen is awesome!! (voice cracks)]

[A source of pride for the Chinese people! This is incredibly impressive!] [Now who dares to say that An Shen stole Clay's championship? Do they really think it's a hollow championship?]

[Hey upstairs, stop talking! The royal supporters are going to come after you soon!]

At the height of this online frenzy, a dynamic bullet comment posted by the official Bilibili account swept across the screens of all the viewers.

"【Champion Arrives】Welcome to Bilibili the champion of Season 8 of 'Living Alone in the Wild' @LinYuAn!"

"The champion himself has appeared in the comments section of this video and will be starting his first exclusive live stream in ten minutes!"

This comment instantly directed all the scattered traffic precisely to the newly created account—@林予安.

In her small apartment in Austin, Lin Yu'an refreshed the comments section under the remote guidance of Lao Mao.

He typed his first comment as a content creator:

"Hello everyone, this is Lin Yu'an. Thank you all for your support along the way. The ice and snow in the wilderness have melted, but a new story has just begun. See you in the live stream in ten minutes."

The moment he posted that comment, an unprecedented "data tsunami" officially struck!
Ten minutes later, Lin Yu'an's first live stream started on time.

The number of fans skyrocketed at an almost vertical curve, breaking the million mark in just ten minutes!

The live stream footage was clearly presented to all viewers.

Lin Yu'an, wearing a simple white T-shirt, sat on the sofa and waved to everyone.

"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Yu-an. Thank you all for watching my first live stream."

Before he finished speaking, the gift system in the live stream was completely ignited! The fans' pent-up enthusiasm, admiration, and love, accumulated over the past few months, found the most direct and fervent outlet at this moment!
["Just Want to Lie Down" is giving away 10 skyscrapers]

[Wilderness enthusiasts give away 999 energy drinks]

[“An Shen’s wife fan” has activated the Governorship! And sent 100 mini TV spaceships as a gift]

In an instant, the entire screen of the live stream was completely covered by various cool gift effects!

Backstage, Old Cat stared intently at the constantly changing numbers representing "flow," his mouth agape.

"One hundred thousand...three hundred thousand...five hundred thousand...one million! We've broken one million! My God!"

He muttered to himself, they had indeed not misjudged Lin Yu'an's commercial value. Just this amount of donations alone was enough to justify the resources invested!
Lin Yu-an tried to calm everyone down, but his words were completely drowned out by the sea of ​​gifts.

In just over ten minutes, the live stream's revenue easily surpassed one million RMB at an incomprehensible speed!
However, just when everyone thought the tipping frenzy would last all night...

When Lin Yu'an learned the actual value of these gifts, he made a decision that surprised everyone.

He studied it for a while, found the backend operation options, and turned off the gift reward function in the live broadcast room!

In an instant, all the cool gift effects came to an abrupt end. The live stream was left with only rapidly scrolling comments.

【What happened? I just topped up my account!】

[The tipping feature is off? Did An Ge do it?]

[Holy crap! Incredible! Made over a million, and shut it down just like that!]

Looking at the camera, Lin Yu'an said earnestly, "Thank you everyone, I appreciate your kind gesture. But I'm here to share my story with you, not to make you spend money."

"I have won enough prize money and I am not short of money for the time being. I believe in the principle of giving and receiving. If I endorse any products in the future, people can support me by purchasing those products."

"Therefore, starting today, all my live streams will be closed to donations. Your watching and support are the best way to help me!"

The live stream chat erupted with an even more enthusiastic wave of "respect"!
On the other end of the video call, Lao Mao watched all this with initial shock, which quickly turned into a deep wry smile and admiration.

He knew that Lin Yu'an's actions had earned him something more valuable than money—impeccable personal charm and a good reputation.

As the live stream was about to end, Lin Yu-an dropped another bombshell.

He announced that he would participate in "Living Below Zero," embarking on a new journey to establish a home in Alaska, pushing the atmosphere in the live stream to another climax.

After answering a few simple questions, Lin Yu'an smiled and said goodbye to everyone, then ended the live stream.

This successful debut not only propelled him to become a top influencer on Bilibili with 300 million followers, but also made him a highly sought-after celebrity.

This also earned him even more respect and admiration from his fans for his image of not being swayed by money.

After the live stream ended, Bilibili's lawyers and the lawyers hired by Lin Yu'an completed the online contract finalization.

Lin Yu-an has officially signed a contract with Bilibili!
The operations team has already started applying for the gold medal for Lin Yu'an's one million fans.
