Reborn as a female internet celebrity in a county town

Chapter 6: I've worked so hard, I deserve all of this.
Lin Lang eventually went to the market and bought five jin of large crucian carp, because Yuan Dahua had only caught a little over two jin.

His previous videos mostly featured wild fishing, and he often came back empty-handed.

So this time, after the final cast, the fish basket was shown briefly in the video, creating a strong contrast with before.

The purpose of doing this is to amplify the effect of the "divorce certificate smearing" meme.

In the end, Lin Lang edited out three minutes of video content, dividing it into three short videos: upper, middle, and lower.

It will be fine in another half month. At that time, Douyin will launch an event where participants will have the video length limit of five minutes.

Five minutes is enough to complete a wonderful fishing routine.

This is one of the reasons why phishing videos became mainstream on the internet starting in 2019.

Lin Lang believed he could make a name for himself, not because of his exceptional skills, but simply because he knew that a five-minute time limit would be introduced in two weeks, at which point the entire short video ecosystem would undergo a dramatic change.

The most basic requirement for applying for the first batch of internal testing qualifications is 10,000 followers.

At noon, Lin Lang brought several kilograms of large crucian carp home, put them in a basin to keep them alive, and saved them for dinner.

I spent several tens of yuan to buy it, so I can't waste it.

Ms. Xu works at a supermarket and can't come home for lunch, so Lin Lang has to cook something simple for himself.

After finishing his meal, he rode his electric scooter back to the company and began his editing task.

Due to the current time limit for short videos, Lin Lang updates an unusually large number of videos every day.

Fortunately, there are no copyright restrictions at this time, so you can just copy and paste. By the end of the year, the copyright holders of major films and TV series will jointly request Douyin to prohibit direct copying and require users to purchase the copyright before they can create derivative works.

The so-called "second creation" means incorporating the author's own explanation; without this, it's all considered copyright infringement.

The coming year will be the easiest time to create a film and television account, and Lin Lang is already preparing a recruitment plan.

Moreover, his 100,000 yuan loan came through immediately.

His goal was simple: work hard to ensure the company's revenue met the target, so that he could get a loan of ten million by the end of the year.

Then... you can go back to your old profession.

"Huh, the volume's increased?"

Lin Lang was the first to see the kindergarten dance teaching video of Mi Xiaofan that he had posted from a third-person perspective, which showed that the number of views had exceeded 50,000.

His usual posts only get three to five hundred views; that's the basic data.

It not only garnered 50,000 views, but also received over 3,000 likes and more than 600 comments.

Such comprehensive data is very powerful.

"No need to resend it..."

"Wait a little longer. Once the number of views surpasses 150,000, then @Mi Xiaofan's account in the comments..."

The reason why we didn't tag Mi Xiaofan's account immediately is that his video still needs to gain popularity. If we tagged him directly, the video's data would drop significantly, and the system wouldn't be able to push it to more people.

……

After lunch, the kindergarten children were taking a nap, and Mi Xiaofan also took the bus back to her hometown.

Her salary wasn't high, only 1,800 a month.

The advantage is that it's a leisurely job, and they even provide a meal.

More than a year after graduation, she also looked for jobs in big cities, some with a monthly salary of four thousand and five thousand.

However, what they receive is often not enough to cover their expenses.

On the contrary, in a small county town, a monthly income of 1,800 yuan is enough to live a pretty good life.

She opened her Douyin account and glanced at the number of views on her videos, which were mostly around a thousand.

The number of likes is also quite bizarre; some have over a hundred likes, while others only have a handful. As for the comments, apart from things like "huge boobs," "want to hook up?" and "so fair-skinned," there's almost nothing else.

The WeChat group "Tianshui County Internet Celebrity Group" was created by a person named Bi Xiaofang. He would privately message local internet celebrities one by one, and he would invite almost all of them who had thousands of followers.

In the end, only about forty people joined.

He talks about various data in the group every day, provides ideas to various people, and talks about some precautions for internet celebrities, such as how to attract popularity.

Useful, but not much. "Ladies, a new media company has opened in the county town. Anyone interested in joining? Guaranteed to have the fairest and most impartial contracts on the entire internet. Let's make a fortune together!"

Bi Xiaofang shouted something in the group chat.

A few minutes later, no one responded.

Bi Xiaofang continued, "Our company doesn't take a cut; we only help you with operations. We're absolutely ethical. Don't you all trust me?"

Finally, someone spoke up, "It's not that we don't trust you, but you don't have any resources. You have no traffic, and you don't have any powerful connections."

"Who said that? As long as you come here, I guarantee that your followers will exceed 10,000 within a month. Once you have followers, won't the big bosses come? I can help you talk to them and share all the big bosses' resources. You can have whatever money you make."

"Then what do you want?"

"I just want to make friends with all these beautiful ladies. You can treat me to a meal once you've made some money."

Mi Xiaofan felt a sense of familiarity.

What do you mean by "just help with operations"? Didn't Lin Lang say those things?
They even brought up something about personalized customization, but she refused to get involved and just ignored it.

They didn't even film the video properly; they just slapped something together and ran away.

Oh right, I also added that guy on WeChat. I quickly deleted him to prevent him from secretly looking at my Moments.

After deleting Lin Lang's WeChat, she felt obligated to remind the other women in the group, since only those who have been scammed know how painful it is to be cheated.

If that media company hadn't been sued last time, she wouldn't be out yet.

"Bi Xiaofang, the media company you mentioned, is it called Big Fish Media?"

Bi Xiaofang: "What Big Fish Media?"

"Stop pretending. They've already contacted me. It's a scam company. They said they'd package and manage me, using a bunch of fancy terms, and that they'd cultivate me into an independent IP. But their real goal is just to get me to continue skirting the law."

Bi Xiaofang: "Rice Beauty, it's really not Big Fish Media... I've never even heard of it..."

"Anyway, I've already tested it out for everyone, and it's a scam company! You'd better do it yourself and don't trust any media companies. Media companies in small towns simply don't have the operational capabilities! That Big Fish Media company, they sounded very professional, but when they heard I wanted to choose a cooperation method that relied more on operations, they turned around and ran away, preventing me from filming any videos this morning..."

Mi Xiaofan suddenly felt a little angry, realizing she shouldn't have been so nice to Lin Lang.

I should have realized they were scammers and wasted my time.

If I can't shoot a video today, and I try again tomorrow, the data usage will drop to around 500.

It took her more than three months of hard work to stabilize her video views at around a thousand.

Mad!
Go back to the previous media library and see if you can find a video to fill in the gap.

She opened her account homepage, where there were still a few videos in her drafts, but she felt they weren't very good and didn't post them.

If that still doesn't work, she's out of options.

Because her home was too dilapidated to be used as a backdrop for suggestive videos, it was a matter of her shame.

Just as she opened the homepage, the bright red "99+" came into view.

99+ followers, 99+ likes, 99+ comments...

"Huh? The system is malfunctioning?"

This has happened before. The system inexplicably displays this to her, but when you open it, it shows all the old data that was suddenly dug up.

But when she opened it, she found that all the comments and likes were from the last five minutes.

A look of surprise crossed her fair face.

"Am I angry?"

"Am I finally famous?"

"Yes! It's really popular! In less than ten minutes, it gained more than a thousand followers, more than two hundred comments, and all the video views more than doubled."

"I can become famous without relying on anyone!"

"I've worked so hard, I deserve all of this!"
