Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 13 The Capital of Sacrifice

Yun Yiyi's popularity is negligible compared to the overall popularity of short video platforms.

On current short video platforms, many internet celebrities gain millions of followers with just one song or tens of millions with just one dance.

A large number of people have gained tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of followers with just a 30-second video.

But in the county town, it's definitely a hit.

Lin Lang didn't pursue content that was particularly likely to cause a data explosion. The reason was simple: no one around him could handle that kind of traffic. Not only would it be troublesome to operate, but the pressure of continuously producing high-quality content would also be immense.

After all, there are almost no monetization channels for short videos right now.

They can either take on external business opportunities or start live streaming to build a following.

I don't have the money for live streaming, and I don't have the connections to get external business opportunities.

Currently, outsourcing business is considered a high-end job, requiring you to find resources yourself.

Lin Lang's idea is to take it slow, steadily produce content, accumulate fans, and then take on business opportunities when the conditions become more and more suitable.

For example, ByteDance's massive engine platform will not be officially launched until January next year.

He didn't want to run out of all the materials he could create now, and then be unable to produce a massive amount of content.

Most online celebrities have a very short lifespan, maybe only going viral for half a month. Those who can stay popular for one or two months are considered top-tier.

Rhythm is the most important thing.

After Lin Lang helped Yuan Dahua finish filming the reshoots, he organized the footage and let Yuan Dahua upload it himself, which was considered the first step.

Meanwhile, Yuan Dahua also owed Lin Lang 25,000 yuan.

Of these, 2,000 are for photography, 3,000 for editing, and 20,000 for content intellectual property rights.

Since we don't plan to invest in traffic for the first time, the traffic investment and operation costs are not included in this calculation.

If the 25,000 yuan isn't paid back, then Big Fish Media will have absolute control. If Yuan Dahua causes any trouble, they can hold him accountable and reclaim their legitimate interests.

Content is that expensive! They're selling brainpower!
The contract between Dayu Media and Lin Lang, a sole proprietorship business owner, is crystal clear.

Having just finished dealing with Yuan Dahua's matter, Lin Lang planned to go home to get something to eat and have a drink of water.

When I opened WeChat, I found hundreds of unread messages.

Yun Yiyi sent him more than thirty messages.

"Lin Lang, I'm famous!"

"I've surpassed 10,000 followers!"

"I took a look and saw that someone called 'Shangyan Pavilion' posted my photo and even tagged me in the comments. Is this the company's operations team?"

"I've surpassed 15,000 followers! I'm so excited!"

"Boss, you're amazing!"

……

……

"Can I sign a contract with the company now?"

"I have 20,000 followers! I really never thought I'd have this day. Boss, you're a god!"

"I know you're busy, so I didn't call. I'll wait for you at the company entrance."

Lin Lang: "Okay, I'll go back to the company right away..."

That's a normal reaction, damn it! What does gaining tens of thousands of followers even mean? Anyone who even has fantasies about becoming an internet celebrity wouldn't delete themselves right away!
Just bear with Mi Xiaofan a little longer!

No matter how good the terms are, it won't work! Without conceding core interests, this deal is off!

Meanwhile, Mi Xiaofan naturally learned about Yun Yiyi's increase in followers.

Because someone has already started live streaming in the group.

"YiYi's fans have officially surpassed 30,000!"

"Yi-yi, you have to be careful. Don't get reported like Rice did. Delete any videos you can delete as soon as possible."

The purpose is obvious: to incite jealousy in the group, then drive people to anger and malice, leading them to report the group!
In terms of specific actions, there is another layer of meaning: If you can report it, do so quickly, because you won't have the chance later!

This time, however, it didn't work out. Yun Yiyi's video, which had a slightly suggestive element, has been deleted.

Mi Xiaofan felt a mix of emotions at that moment.

If I hadn't been banned, would I have over 100,000 followers by now?
Lin Lang's account, which he was using to drive traffic, already had over 30,000 followers, even though that account had no content whatsoever.

One hundred thousand followers! That's such a great honor!

With 100,000 followers, I can enjoy praise and envy every day, as well as immeasurable financial gains.

It wasn't until Bi Xiaofang sent her a message that she was brought back to reality.

"Rice, you've really lost out this time. Big Fish Media is very powerful; they have a lot of traffic channels. Go apologize to them now and see if there's still a chance for cooperation."

Mi Xiaofan: "..."

Is it that she doesn't want to apologize? Or is it that the other party simply won't give her a chance?

She wasn't in the mood for class today, just going through the motions for half an hour, and sending Lin Lang verification messages whenever she had a spare moment.

Bi Xiaofang: "I went to Big Fish Media yesterday. I might be starting work there soon. If you can maintain a good relationship with Lin Lang and continue to cooperate, I guarantee I can help you secure some resources. The fact that Lin Lang contacted you first shows that he values ​​your potential. Some people in the group were wavering yesterday, but Yun Yi took the initiative to talk to him, and it's only been a few hours..."

According to my information, almost everyone in the group is about to make a move. Once Big Fish Media signs too many contracts, Lin Lang will definitely be too busy to handle them all, and no matter how good your qualifications are, you won't have much of a chance.

As I've said before, with your looks, you could definitely interview at some top media companies. But now... I think there's no better fit for you than Big Fish Media. Top media companies are highly competitive, and they might not even have as many resources as Big Fish Media.

I believe that Big Fish Media can definitely cultivate internet celebrities with millions of followers! They absolutely can!

As Mi Xiaofan looked at the words "million-follower internet celebrity," her heart felt as if it had been suddenly struck by something.

It was like the end of a dream...

"I deleted him from my friends list, and now he doesn't want to talk to me at all. What should I do?"

"What should you do? Of course, you should go to Big Fish Media to find him. But you only have one chance. Whether you can close the deal depends entirely on what you do. Take advantage of the current situation, as Big Fish Media is just starting out. In the future, more and more people will be looking for him. Just now, a girl who is just as pretty as you asked me about the situation..."

"Did you tell her?"

"I already said I want to join Big Fish Media to gain experience, and I can't possibly refuse any resources."

"Then what should I do?" A sense of tension suddenly rose in Mi Xiaofan's heart.

Big Fish Media has limited resources, making it virtually impossible to cultivate two top talents simultaneously.

Two minutes later, Bi Xiaofang replied, "I don't know about other things, but if you want to become a top player and get more resources, you have to learn to sacrifice. Otherwise, no one will give you good resources, whether it's a big company or a small company, whether it's the influencer circle or the entertainment industry or even any other industry. At least... you have more capital to sacrifice than others, right?"

Mi Xiaofan: "..."

She glanced down at herself; the high neckline couldn't hide her ample bosom at all.
