Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 56 Being Plump is Useless

"Son, tell me the truth, how much did you actually make this time?"

During the meal, Lin Yuliang couldn't help but ask.

"If you really want to calculate it, it's only a few tens of thousands of yuan."

"That's quite a lot. What's the industry outlook like? Will you be able to earn that much every month?"

"Who can say for sure? But the industry outlook is definitely good. I hope to earn more if I encounter a similar business opportunity next time..."

Lin Lang couldn't let his parents think he wasn't earning money, but he also couldn't say he was earning too much.

You need to strike a balance and proceed gradually, allowing your parents to slowly adapt to the atmosphere of you earning money for them to spend.

The elderly couple might not be able to process the news that they've suddenly earned over a million dollars, as it represents more money than they've ever earned in their entire lives.

That's a big mountain!
It's certainly something to show off, but it also brings pressure you've never experienced before.

Ms. Xu said, "Making money is important, but getting married is also important..."

"understand."

Lin Lang felt fortunate that he hadn't mentioned that Yan Li had returned the gift, otherwise his mother would probably be arranging to find him a partner again.

Judging from the impact of this incident, Yan Li did play a role.

After dinner, Lin Lang was busy for a while, and Ms. Xu even went to his room to wash a plate of fruit for him.

I used to think Lin Lang was a layabout, so naturally he didn't get such good treatment. But things are different now.

Although family ties are never genuine, moods can vary.

……

When Lin Lang was going to bed that night, he came across an interview with Yun Yiyi.

He watches videos every day, partly to look for potential signings, and partly to refresh his memory.

Several accounts are posting Yun Yiyi's interview, but those accounts are all newly registered and have almost no traffic, relying entirely on the system's initial traffic.

The price ranges from one hundred to five hundred.

This is the prototype of the matrix account, and Lin Lang is also preparing to operate a matrix system.

"The filming was alright, but the content was completely uninteresting..."

"The persona has been artificially inflated, and the higher it's inflated, the less able it is to handle the attention..."

Lin Lang only glanced at it and knew that Yun Yiyi's team was still following very old-fashioned routes.

They may have some ability, but not enough to create a blockbuster IP in the current market.

The other party's goal was to create a high-class persona for Yun Yiyi, but they completely disregarded the fact that the more high-class the persona, the less relatable it would be, and people would scrutinize it for flaws.

Yun Yiyi has too many flaws, and it's possible that someone will soon start gossiping about her online.

Her gossip isn't anything good.

Operating Yun Yiyi's side is inherently difficult, and generating real profits is even more challenging.

Lin Lang's initial idea was to stabilize the traffic and bring financial feedback to the secondary market of Tianshui duck industry, so that there would still be a chance to make money.

If we do it this way now, even traffic will be lost very quickly.

Nobody likes to watch someone put on a show, especially someone with countless flaws.

If he's right, Yun Yiyi's team will next be filming her work ethic.

This is difficult to photograph. Many high-ranking officials can't be photographed well; the results tend to look contrived and overtly staged, creating a sense of resistance. Let alone Yun Yiyi...

Lin Lang's current focus is on Yuan Dahua and Mi Xiaofan.

Yuan Dahua's side has become much more comfortable to watch because they can now publish medium-length videos. After all, before, the videos were only one minute long, which was too limited in terms of content.

Now, in just a few minutes, you can see a fisherman's day, a leisurely and expectant experience that many people yearn for.

For ordinary people in big cities, there are basically only three reasons why they would follow an internet celebrity.

The first type is lusting after the other person's body, regardless of gender.

The second type is more specialized and offers learning opportunities. Although it's highly likely that the likes will end up gathering dust in your favorites, at least it proves that you've put in the effort.

The third type is those who yearn for it but are not allowed to do so in reality, so they start their own cyber life, euphemistically calling it: "Freedom for me!"

Mi Xiaofan's side is more difficult; at least in the early stages, they definitely can't handle a large influx of traffic, so they have to take it one step at a time.

It takes time to build up your content style. Before you can reach a million followers, it takes several stages. You can't gain a million followers overnight like Yun Yiyi.

There are several stages between 10,000 and 1 million followers. Yun Yiyi skipped this stage briefly due to her special circumstances, but Mi Xiaofan could not.

Once this stage is skipped, there's no more story to tell.

Reaching one million followers presents a great opportunity to develop her story and cultivate her professional skills.

Just like life, once you start sprinting, you can't stop. And this... requires sufficient personal ability and operational skills to ensure that you don't make mistakes.

Otherwise, the classic saying will come true: You can't hold on to it.

He had saved all of Mi Xiaofan's previous suggestive videos.

These things may seem like Mi Xiaofan's dark history, but they are actually part of the plot that makes her character more well-rounded.

It's not enough for a person to be well-rounded; a well-developed persona is what attracts people.

Which of those female internet celebrities who gained fame based on their looks doesn't have a dark past?

Some people even fabricate some dark history when they don't have any.

Playing the innocent card on domestic platforms while pushing the boundaries on international platforms is all about maintaining their popularity and sparking netizens' curiosity.

……

"President Qin, our first video has been released. What do you think?"

After returning to the county town, Yun Yiyi's team called Qin Dong.

Qin Dong quickly replied, "Very good, your filming skills are very high."

Qin Dong genuinely thought it was excellent; he portrayed Yun Yiyi's character in a very sophisticated way, using an interview format that immediately set it apart from others.

Compared to Lin Lang's previous videos, which seemed like something he filmed casually and became popular out of luck, this one was much better.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Qin. We have also specially customized a traffic-generating package for Teacher Yun. Through this package, we can spread Teacher Yun's traffic and let more people know about her. Currently, the video that Teacher Yun posted has already exceeded two million views in just three hours..."

"Yes, yes, yes, you are professionals. If you need anything, just tell Qin Haiyang and he will arrange it."

"Ok, no problem."

After hanging up the phone, the group gathered together and said, "We have to get up early tomorrow. Elementary school starts at 7:40 in the morning, so we need to be there by 7:00. The first shot is of Teacher Yun picking up the children at the school gate. Then we need to film Teacher Yun's class progress from multiple angles, and we'll also need to use a drone... We also need to do Teacher Yun's makeup..."

If we close this deal, we'll be rich next year. Mr. Qin is a very generous person.
