Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 4 Desensitization
2018 8 Month 15 Day.

73rd anniversary of Japan's surrender.

Suitable for: getting married, moving, traveling, signing contracts, making transactions, breaking ground, and opening a business.

No taboos, an absolutely auspicious day that comes once a year!
Big Fish Media officially opened its doors amidst a display of ten-yuan fireworks.

After Lin Lang finished setting off the fireworks, he went inside and stayed for a while.

There was no other guest besides him.

Fortunately, we took a step back last night, so Ms. Xu shouldn't be in too much of a hurry recently, and we have a lot of time.

Of all the company's assets, the most valuable ones are the five accounts Lin Lang has created over the past month.

They are Langge Film and Television, with 186,000 fans.
Shangyan Pavilion, with 64,500 followers
Life hacks, 254,600 followers
Although they have a lot of fans, they are not actually worth much. The most valuable thing is the knowledge about life. Some people are asking for more than 20,000 yuan. Langge Film and Television is only worth 5,000 yuan, while Shangyan Pavilion is worth 10,000 yuan.

The value of an account depends on the type of people in its fan base.

An account is valuable if its followers are mostly young women.

If it's a group of people who only like to watch dramas on short video platforms, their character profiles will be chaotic and vague, and their value will be the lowest.

A personal account won't be very valuable until it develops its own unique brand identity.

Accounts with highly accurate fan profiles are very valuable. For example, in the finance field, even if an account only has tens of thousands of fans, someone will be willing to pay a high price to buy it.

Especially after purification, it is even more popular.

The so-called "purification" means that even though the creator is clearly not a professional in finance, there are still people who believe what he says. This means that his fans are also laymen in finance, making them particularly easy targets for exploitation.

After purchasing accounts, they can leverage existing followers to create a series of "pig butchering" scams.

Lin Lang created all three accounts himself. He wanted to create more accounts, but he didn't have enough energy, and his studio couldn't afford to hire anyone at the moment.

After sitting for a while, he placed his phone stand by the door, set a timer, and then stood in the doorway and took a picture.

Immediately afterwards, he closed the door, rode his electric scooter, and headed towards Xingxing Yulu Kindergarten.

This is a private kindergarten that remains open even during holidays.

After all, parents don't have holidays, and many people would rather spend a few hundred yuan a month to leave their children here so that they can learn something, more or less.

Mi Xiaofan is a graduate of a preschool teacher training program. She is only nineteen years old this year and has been out of school for a little over a year.

She was wearing a white T-shirt and sweatpants, and you could feel the power of her perfect figure just by looking at her back.

Turning around, a delicate oval face with perfectly proportioned features evokes the feeling of first love from adolescence.

Although she is still young, she has developed her own understanding of many things in the outside world, even if this understanding is not mainstream.

I was in a relationship when I was in vocational school, and I got dumped.

Near graduation, she signed a live-streaming contract with a local media company, but not only did she not receive a penny, the company also used her name to swindle a lot of money from others.

The company used her agreement to book a hotel room as a bargaining chip to get many of her "big brothers" to transfer money, ranging from two or three thousand to seven or eight thousand.

Finally, they even got into a lawsuit...

Of course, for her it was merely an economic dispute and wouldn't warrant a criminal record.

She considers herself someone who learns from her mistakes; after being cheated on, she lost faith in relationships, and after being scammed by a live-streaming company, she lost faith in anyone who could help her make money.

She doesn't even believe in Big Fish Media.

But who can blame her when the other party is willing to film a video for her for free?

Anyway, she believed in herself and was definitely a rational and mature person who would never be fooled by outsiders again.

"Hello, is this Teacher Mi?"

"Um...yes..."

Mi Xiaofan stared at Lin Lang for two seconds.

The second man she can't help but look at for even a second longer is now her second. The first was her own father, who passed away unexpectedly six years ago. During his burial, she stared at him for a long time because the person who loved her most in this world was gone, and she wanted to remember him forever.

"Hello, I'm Lin Lang from Dayu Media. The company has arranged for me to come and shoot a special episode for you."

Mi Xiaofan sensed the difference in Big Fish Media.

People will say "you" (formal).

Even though I look young and inexperienced, I haven't achieved much.

This seems more professional, unlike the media company boss from last time, who was arrogant and condescending from the moment they met, started boasting about how amazing he was after only a few words, and then started sending her flirtatious WeChat messages that night.

"Oh, hello, how should I take the photos?"

In a corner of the kindergarten, Lin Lang took out paper and pen and began to plan a blueprint for Mi Xiaofan.

"Ms. Mi, our company has labeled you as a [dance teacher], a [perfect goddess], a [stunning figure], and a [first love face]..."

As Lin Lang spoke, he wrote down the contents of the tag.

Mi Xiaofan didn't quite understand, "What does 'label' mean?"

"The label is what you want to show. First, you need to define your own position to ensure that the content you shoot does not deviate from the theme. For example, the content of your own photos is rather chaotic and does not have a clear theme."

Mi Xiaofan seemed to understand some of what Lin Lang was saying, and Lin Lang continued, "Based on these tags, we've prepared two directions for you. The first is 'everyday life,' which mainly involves filming your daily life and work routines... The second is 'borderline,' which mainly focuses on your personal identity combined with your figure, with slightly more explicit content..."

Mi Xiaofan understands better now, because even her previous films were borderline in style.

She asked, "Is there a difference between the two?"

"Yes, there's a big difference. Even if borderline content gets a lot of traffic, it's difficult to monetize it effectively; in other words, it doesn't make much money unless you find a powerful backer. On the other hand, everyday content can build a personal brand, leading to advertising and endorsements… The former brings in traffic quickly, but its ceiling is limited. The latter brings in traffic more slowly and requires a lot of effort to maintain… Simply put, it depends on whether you want short-term or long-term profits…"

Mi Xiaofan lowered her head, looking thoughtful. Her white crew-neck T-shirt couldn't hide her ample bosom at all, which was faintly visible...

Without a doubt, she definitely wants to be the second type.

Who wouldn't want to be a big star?

But can this company really succeed?

Although she has appeared professional so far, she can't believe that a company could train her to become a major internet celebrity.

Skimming the edges seems like a good option?
How many powerful figures can you recruit? Those willing to spend tens or hundreds of thousands on you…

But how is it different from the previous company?

So she said, "You guys also want me to take a borderline route, right?"

Lin Lang didn't mince words, saying, "Of course, this way it's more effective."

"What if I choose the first option?"

Mi Xiaofan had already realized that this company was essentially no different from the previous one.

It's just that their deception methods are more sophisticated, using some professional jargon to make them seem more professional.

In reality, they still ask you to post videos and do live streams, and then they take the opportunity to ask you to help them with operations, ultimately leading to you being sued.

How could she fall for it twice!

Lin Lang's expression was slightly strained as he said, "Actually..."

"I want the first one!" Mi Xiaofan's attitude was very firm.

"That's right. The first requirement will be very strict. Once we start cooperating, you must follow our requirements. We will require 40% ownership of the account and will clearly define responsibilities. Every breach of contract will be written into the contract. If you breach the contract..."

How to enforce the law strictly?

"We will follow the requirements of celebrities, and of course, everything will be within the scope of laws and regulations, and absolutely no illegal content will be involved."

I never intended for Mi Xiaofan to engage in borderline activities. With her excellent qualities, she should definitely be used as an intellectual property to maximize profits. The reason for this was to desensitize her beforehand, so that she wouldn't react negatively to any contact.
