She became a heartthrob among internet celebrities.

When Lan Liting came to ask her to film a video, Jiang Lai wasn't really surprised.

When Hua Da's video came out, many people tagged Di Da and her in the comments.

—The handsome guys and beautiful girls from Huazhong University of Science and Technology are out, what are you guys going to do?

—Take a picture of me in the same style as them!

——@Beijing University, Huazhong University of Science and Technology's explanations are concise and clear, fifteen seconds is enough, yours six minutes is too long!

—I feel like I've been accepted.

——@Beijing University @It's Lai, not Lai Quickly take a picture of the same style!

The video from Huaqiao University went viral very quickly, and other schools soon followed suit with similar videos. Beijing University was a little slow to react.

Videos from universities like Huaqiao University, which are tagged with the same college entrance examination application and admission criteria, have far more views and comments than other admission videos.

In short, it is precisely because of its brevity and conciseness that it is so memorable.

In about 15 seconds, the video highlights the key points and clearly conveys the message: you've gone from a high school senior to a college student—welcome to apply to xx University.

In contrast, other official recruitment videos are somewhat too "serious" and far less memorable than those that are more entertaining.

Lan Liting: Junior! Everyone's been urging me on the official account! Most people still want to see your videos!

Lan Liting: Anyway, Wen Zhi is at school these two days, so let her help you take pictures.

Lan Liting: Hua Da has two students, we only need you!

Lan Liting: Junior, do you know that hand gesture dance that's really popular on Douyin lately? Just film something similar to it.

Lan Liting: We'll film at the main locations on our school, and then I'll have the video department edit it.

Jiang Lai: I understand, senior.

Lan Liting: Mwah!

001: "Our favorability has been rising so fast lately! Don't you still have any rewards you want to claim?"

While scrolling through her phone, Jiang Lai replied, "The rewards you've been giving lately haven't been that appealing, so I'm getting a little tired of them, you know?"

"I understand, I'm just a corn cob, you'll eat it and then throw it away."

"How could that be? We have a deep revolutionary bond. Besides, if I don't claim the reward, you can just keep it. My standing still is your big split!"

Jiang Lai learned a hand gesture dance from the girl in the video, then said, "Go play online by yourself, I have things to do."

001: "I understand, you're tired of me too."

Jiang Lai was speechless: "Don't add any more drama."

The hand gesture dance that's recently become popular on Douyin was started by a female streamer, and all sorts of people have been making their own versions. The background music is light and cheerful, making people feel happy just listening to it, but there really isn't one with a distinctly campus style.

Lan Liting, being the minister in charge of all media, is quite sensitive to online trends.

Jiang Lai and Wen Zhi walked along the tree-lined path at school.

"Thank you for coming out with me to film this video, senior." Jiang Lai asked her, "How have you been lately, senior?"

Wen Zhi replied, "The usual routine: internship, then reading and reviewing, and preparing for my graduation thesis."

The two of them took their equipment and first filmed at the main gate of the campus, then went to places like the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

In the end, Jiang Lai found that she would subconsciously make movements whenever she heard music.

"You've worked hard today, this is fine." Wen Zhi looked at the footage stored in the camera.

"Shall we go out for dinner together?" Jiang Lai invited her.

"Okay." It was summer vacation, and the school cafeteria only had one small staff canteen open, which was also open to students staying on campus.

The video department always acts very quickly. Jiang Lai received a mention from the official account the next day. When she clicked on it, she saw that her video had been posted on the official account.

Beijing Capital University: @Huaguo University, are you ready for the challenge? Our business school girls are beautiful, have sweet voices, and can dance! It's just summer vacation, so there aren't many people on campus, otherwise we would have many more handsome guys and beautiful girls~ We also welcome everyone to apply to Beijing Capital University, your seniors are here waiting for you!

—It's here! My favorite strong-strong couple!

She is a thoughtful and meticulous arts and business major, while he is a rational and astute science and engineering major! What kind of sparks will fly when he meets her?

—Where can I buy your book? (Upstairs)

—This is what it feels like to watch my streamer on the official account. The official account updates more frequently than her own account (laughing and crying). @It's Lai, not Lai, come out and take your beating.

—I laughed so hard I almost threw up. This is so funny for me, a fan of Huada University.

—Does the person upstairs look down on my Imperial University?

—Let's fight! Let's fight! Let's fight!

—This hand gesture dance even has a college version! Some of the moves are a little different, but it's still so sweet! The song is sweet, and the dancers are sweet too!

— We're looking to take in students that Imperial College London and Washington University don't want (knocking on the word!)

—Why is New Oriental upstairs still poaching people? Hahaha, are they just picking up the scraps here?

……

This video battle between Imperial University and Hwak University has been quite intense, with many other schools also being drawn into the fray.

For a time, the 15-second college dance led by the University of Washington and the half-minute college hand gesture dance spearheaded by Imperial University of Washington became very popular. Other universities also brought out their handsome men and beautiful women to participate in the video shooting, joining this battle to recruit talent. Even the previously popular poster support also reappeared.

Marketing accounts jumped on the bandwagon, creating numerous videos with titles like "Which college hand gesture dance is your favorite?" and "Learn all the college dances in 15 seconds," which garnered considerable popularity.

Among them, Jiang Lai's video was the most widely circulated because she already had a large following compared to the other students who were filmed.

A marketing account that specializes in recommending handsome men and beautiful women from universities even made a video to introduce her.

If it weren't for the fact that she wouldn't spend money on online trolls, Jiang Lai herself would feel like she was paving the way for entering the entertainment industry.

It was time for her routine live stream again. Since her roommates weren't around and she had already shown her face before, she simply turned on her camera this time.

Wow! Today's live stream is even showing their face!!

——Wife prprpr

What will we be broadcasting on the live stream today?

—You're so beautiful, baby!

—Who understands? It's a mom fan.

"Good evening, everyone!" Jiang Lai waved at the camera, wearing a simple short-sleeved shirt and her hair casually tied up. "We're just chatting today."

—I can chat too

—Aren't we going to organize some events?

Why are you still in the dorm? Isn't it a holiday?

—You look so good even under the dorm lights, your skin is so nice, I'm so envious.

"Yes, I'm still in the dorm. I stayed on campus to help my teacher during the summer vacation," Jiang Lai answered the questions raised by viewers in the live stream.

—Will all live streams from now on involve showing your face?

—What are the next steps?

Please do more live streams, okay?!

—Does the streamer remember me? I'm the high school senior who appeared in the live stream before! I said I wanted to get into a university in Beijing back then, and you even cheered me on!

"It's you!" Jiang Lai recognized the ID. "So you've finished your college entrance exams now, congratulations! No matter the result, at least enjoy your summer vacation!"

—I performed to my full potential, even exceeding my usual standard, but I'm still a ways off from getting into a top university in Beijing. However, it was definitely better than my mock exam. My home is near Beijing, and I plan to apply to a university there. If possible, could I meet up with the streamer in person?

—How inspiring!

—Even watching a live stream gets you ripped off; as a junior in college who's just lying around doing nothing, I'm genuinely scared.

—Working professionals who are still in debt are crying their eyes out.

—I'd like to see how the host studies. I acknowledge that there are definitely differences in intelligence among people, but some learning methods are certainly common. How do students at Beijing University maintain a strong interest in learning in a completely new field? And once they have an interest in learning, how can they find a learning method that suits them?

— Same question, how can I improve my learning efficiency?

—If you want to see learning methods, just search for them yourself! There are tons of similar streamers (chuckles). I know their tricks: showing off their education, daily life, awards (with sensational titles). Then some people will comment "Wow, that's awesome!" and ask how to learn xxx. Then the streamer says: "I can't keep up with all the private messages, I can't send out the learning materials, add me on WeChat!" And then they start creating groups and selling courses.

—It seems the person upstairs has had similar experience; this move was remarkably accurate.

—These days there are too many fools and not enough scammers?

—Speaking of which, Alai doesn't post these things much, right? Apart from a prestigious university title, he doesn't seem to have shown anything else?

—If she weren't a top student, how could she possibly get onto an official account and make videos? Don't treat people like idiots.

"First of all, congratulations to that student! They're very confident, and I'm sure they did well on the exam. That's fantastic! If the schools are close by, we can definitely meet up!"

"I'm used to keeping my online and offline lives separate, but everyone seems more interested in my campus life?" Jiang Lai chuckled twice. "So, I'll become a streamer in the study section from now on? I'll regularly stream my daily study routine?"

Let's do a live stream and learn together!

—Did you learn from her? Hahahaha

—I suspect you're trying to slack off.

——+1

Small gifts kept being sent into the live stream.

"Thank you Strawberry Boba Milk Tea, thank you Xiao Luan, and Not Pretty Big Pretty for the light sticks, thank you Fireworks, and thank you Peach Aixue for the flowers, thank you."

"Most of the people in the live stream are probably students or people who have just started working, right? Please don't send gifts. If you really want to send a free light stick, just give it a little something!"

"In the future, the live streams will probably focus on learning. After all, there are already many videos on the sleep-inducing series. You can listen to the audio. If we update later, we will consider doing CET-4 and CET-6 vocabulary to help you get used to the words."

—She really made me cry my eyes out.

—CET-4/6 + putting someone to sleep, the buff stacked up, a good night's sleep is guaranteed.

— Balancing studying and live streaming is indeed quite difficult. Fortunately, the streamer is from the audio category. If it were from another category, such as a streamer who does commentary on movies and TV shows, they would probably be even busier.

—I have no problem with the live stream content, but could you release more vlog series?

—I cried when I heard the sound, but after reading what everyone else is saying, it seems acceptable?

"For those of you who came for my voice, please follow Lingyin's account. I also do voice-over work at the studio. The studio also posts other people's daily lives."

"Vlog updates will continue, but the focus will shift to live-streaming study sessions and producing campus vlogs. After all, sophomore year courses are more numerous and advanced than freshman year courses, and my energy is limited, so please bear with me~"

"Of course, if I have the opportunity, I will also take some time on the weekend to do a live chat like today, to relax."

Jiang Lai chatted with everyone for a while longer before ending the live stream.
