Chinese Entertainment 2017: Starting from the Top Writers

Chapter 297 A video triggers a chain reaction
Beijing, ByteDance headquarters.

"Mr. Zhang, the short video department just reported that the account registered by Teacher Nanxun just posted a dynamic. Let me let you know."

In the general manager's office, the secretary was reporting to Zhang Nan, who was then the CEO of ByteDance China and the head of TikTok, at his desk.

Zhang Nan raised his head from behind the computer at his desk and looked at the secretary in front of him: "What did you send?"

"It's just a simple self-introduction, very brief."

The assistant answered in detail.

Zhang Nan leaned back in his chair, pondered for a moment, then looked up at his secretary: "Tell the video department to increase the traffic. I want all users to see this video in the shortest possible time."

"Okay Mr. Zhang."

"Should we contact Teacher Nanxun? Let him know."

"No need for that. Last time when I had a small gathering with Mr. Liu and the others, I heard him talking about his junior fellow apprentice. Since we are all in Beijing anyway, let's find a chance to talk to him face to face in Beijing."

"Okay, Mr. Zhang, I'll arrange it right away."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing the secretary walk out of the room, Zhang Nan shifted his gaze back to the computer in front of him. Displayed on the computer screen was Lin Li's personal information.

After Bai Tian Linli registered the account, the staff reported it to him. He paid special attention to this unexpected surprise.

Douyin was founded in 16. Unlike Kuaishou, Douyin's video content is more trendy and personalized, and when paired with high-rhythmic music, it is more "trendy" and "personalized".

With Kuaishou as a powerful rival, Douyin has been actively inviting well-known celebrities to join since its inception, trying to increase Douyin's user base and activity through the traffic brought by the celebrities themselves.

Naturally, they would not let go of Lin Li, a well-known figure who is so popular.

However, after their staff contacted Nanxun Culture many times, they did not receive a definite reply. They were only told that the message had been passed on to General Manager Lin, and there was no further response.

Unexpectedly, after Lin Li and others had dinner together yesterday, they were surrounded. However, at the request of fans, they agreed to join Douyin and registered an account at noon today. This was undoubtedly a huge surprise for them.

Speaking of traffic, who in the entire entertainment industry has more traffic than Lin Li?

So after learning that Lin Li had registered an account, Zhang Nan instructed the staff to notify him as soon as Lin Li posted anything.

He has high hopes for Lin Li!

"Come to think of it, I haven't contacted Mr. Liu for a long time. I think it's time to invite him to play golf and keep in touch with him."

Zhang Nan stared at Lin Li's angular face on the computer screen and muttered to himself.

-

Since the evening, one after another, users who were watching videos suddenly found that they were watching a lot of videos!
Many users swiped past it and realized something was wrong, so they swiped back and took a closer look.

Hey! It’s really NTU!
In the video, Lin Li is dressed simply and has a friendly attitude. He introduces himself to the camera with a gentle smile. Behind him, you can also see some crew members walking around and packing up equipment. It looks like a busy scene.

Then click on the homepage to check out the certification, “famous writer, director”, that’s right, it’s him!

Look at the comment section again, wow!

The video was posted at 7:30, and now it’s not even 8 o’clock, and the number of comments has reached 170,000!

What kind of incredible number is this?
It seems that there has never been a video on Tik Tok that has so many comments in such a short time!
Horror!
Many netizens couldn't wait to click into the comment area and start joining the army of hot comments.

“Did you see that? It’s the first solo video of Nanda, alive!”

"Nanda is so efficient! They promised yesterday and the video was released today. Thumbs up!"

"It turns out that a truly handsome guy only needs simple outfits. He looks so handsome even without makeup after wearing this outfit. It's killing me!"

"Nanda's smile is so gentle, who knows, I want to watch this video a hundred times!"

"Is this the film set? This is the first time I've seen what a film set looks like."

“Nanjing University needs to shoot more videos! How can we not post the daily life of the crew regularly? We need to post it every day!”

"That's it!"

"Looking forward to seeing you as a teenager! Looking forward to Nanda's new videos!"

"I found that there was only one follower on Nanda, so I clicked on it and saw that it was Zhou Ye? Isn't this the second female lead in Youth? I posted about her on Weibo last time, and now she's the only follower on TikTok. Nanda treats her differently!"

"Ah? I just realized, what about my Dudu? My Lingchen CP!"

"Then what about my Xiaotian? My sharp CP!"

"I saw a gossip marketing account saying that Xiaotian and Nanda seemed to have a quarrel. I don't know if it's true or not."

"Is the above real? Is this melon authentic?"

……

Not only on Tik Tok, this video was also posted on Weibo, where it quickly became a hot topic.

All of a sudden, everyone knew that Lin Li had registered a video account. Many netizens who did not have Douyin accounts also registered accounts, wanting to watch the original video and join in the fun in the comment section.

ByteDance’s backend staff also found that after Lin Li released the video, their registration volume began to rise rapidly, far exceeding the previous growth rate.

The staff also quickly reported the news to their superiors.

“What a surprise!”

After learning the news, Zhang Nan hung up the phone, opened the data just sent by the staff and talked to himself.

He already knew that Lin Li was very popular, but it was only at this moment that he felt it for real.

It seems that he has to see this side.

Heron Island.

After finishing all the work at hand at the end of the year, Chen Duling returned home. At this moment, she was sitting cross-legged on the sofa in the living room, watching the video Lin Li just posted. "Why do you look thinner? You have only been away for a few days? Are you not used to the local climate?"

Chen Duling held the phone in her right hand, put her left hand to her mouth and gently bit her slender fingers like green onions, frowned slightly, and murmured with some worry.

"I don't know if it's good for him. The food in Shancheng seems to be spicy. He should be able to get used to it, but it might hurt his spleen and stomach."

"No, I have to talk to him and tell him to be careful about his diet."

While Chen Duling was muttering to herself, she switched to the chat interface with Lin Li and started typing to him.

Every word she whispered was so soft and gentle that it was pleasant to the ear. Apart from Lin Li's status, she never glanced at the comment section, let alone paid attention to the heated discussion about the relationship between Zhou Ye and Lin Li.

In her eyes, there is only the person she is thinking about.

Magic City.

Tian Xiwei looked at Lin Li in the video and saw that he had been sitting on the bed in a daze for a long time, with empty eyes, like a puppet.

After a while, her eyelashes trembled slightly and gradually came into focus.

She felt a chill on her face and wiped it with her hand, only to find that it was her own tears.

"Ah……"

Tian Xiwei smiled self-deprecatingly, wiped the tears from her face in a few seconds, and took two deep breaths.

Perhaps only in the dead of night like this could she stop deceiving herself. She really missed Lin Li very much.

She is very scared now. What if Lin Li really doesn't want her anymore?

More and more girls appear around Lin Li, in addition to Cheng Xiao who was on the hot search last time, there is also Zhou Ye.

Especially after she saw that the only person Lin Li cared about was Zhou Ye, combined with the last video, she could already feel how much Lin Li valued Zhou Ye.

This girl named Zhou Ye is very pretty, one year younger than me. She looks very innocent in the video and seems... to have a better personality than me.

There are also Chen Duling, Zhang Ruonan, Wang Churan and Zhao Lusi, who I have confronted twice!

She was really scared. Wang Churan was right. There would be many girls younger and prettier than her in the future. She had such a bad temper, and was not considerate or gentle. She could not obey him like Wang Churan did!

Thinking that one day she might really leave Lin Li, her heart felt as if it was being tightly grasped by someone!
Time passed day by day, but the longer it went on, the more she confirmed that she really couldn't leave him!
Apart from Lin Li, there was no room for anyone else in her eyes!
Deer City.

The intimate crew that has moved over has been here for nearly a week.

In the evening, several female protagonists who had finished filming were strolling on the beach, wearing light long skirts, laughing and playing, forming a beautiful landscape.

Because it is a beach outside the hotel, there are not many tourists. Occasionally, when you meet some travelers who recognize a few people, everyone will just greet them politely.

The crew was very generous in arranging the leading actors to stay at the Atlantis Hotel, the filming location. Most of the travelers who can stay here are either rich or noble, and are relatively reserved.

"Alas, I realize that none of us seem to have particularly big breasts. How miserable."

Meng Ziyi, who was walking on the waves, suddenly looked up and around, and said something out of the blue.

Zhang Ruonan: ...

Li Yitong:……

Lu Yangyang:……

Chen Yao:……

Zhang Ruonan smiled and shook her head. She now understood why Lin Li called Meng Ziyi "Sister Meng". It was really outrageous of her to say that!
"Ah? Did I say something wrong again?"

Meng Ziyi covered her mouth belatedly, with a hint of embarrassment on her pretty face.

"It's okay, what you said is true."

Li Yitong waved her hands generously, with her signature crescent eyes.

"Yeah, come to think of it, the Cheng Xiao who danced with Ali on the last trending search was really big and had a great figure."

"Tongtong, I think she is as big as both of us. What do you think?"

Meng Ziyi's usual stable performance made Li Yitong's smile freeze on her face. She turned around and looked at her speechlessly.

"Ahem... Um, Tongtong, I was wrong."

Meng Ziyi also realized the problem in her words, stepped forward and put her arm around Zhang Ruonan, speaking in a sweet voice and acting coquettishly.

"Your mouth!"

Li Yitong raised her hand helplessly and pinched Meng Ziyi's face, wrinkling her upturned nose.

"Hey, Tongtong is the best."

"But it is true. Look at Ali. He is busy with Cheng Xiao and Zhou Ye."

"But he looked thinner in that video today. I wonder if it's because of the clothes he was wearing."

While Meng Ziyi was complaining, he subconsciously became concerned about Lin Li's situation.

As soon as the words came out, everyone fell into a brief silence.

Lu Yangyang was thinking about why Meng Ziyi called Nan Xun teacher so affectionately, Chen Yao was thinking that he seemed to have lost some weight, Li Yitong thought about it and felt that he seemed to have lost weight.

As for Zhang Ruonan, she was already thinking about how to adjust the amount of filming to set aside time to visit Lin Li in the mountain city.

She could tell at a glance that he had lost weight.

Thinking of this, Zhang Ruonan frowned with some worry.
