Huayu: Nobody understands top celebrities better than me.

Chapter 59 Bai Mengyan Needs to Work Hard

Dali, Cangshan Mountain, Erhai Lake.

A man and a woman walked one after the other along the shore of Erhai Lake.

The two would occasionally stop, but it was the man who would pose for photos while the woman took them.

What's even more interesting is that the woman had a motion camera fixed to her body, recording the man's every word and action.

To be honest, Xu Yan also didn't quite understand Lin Yu's thoughts.

I can understand her releasing the photos; they're meant to be shared with her fans.

These days, many celebrities use this to maintain their fan base.

But she really couldn't understand this video.

But you can't blame her, since these days celebrities mostly just post behind-the-scenes glimpses online.

Moreover, due to the limitations of Weibo, most of the videos are still very short, less than ten seconds long, and you still need to download other software to watch them.

There are only a handful of websites in China that allow uploading long videos, such as Youku and iQiyi.

Bilibili does allow uploading, but frankly, its ecosystem is currently quite poor.

Most content creators are doing this out of love.

So there's nowhere to post Lin Yu's super long video!

As Xu Yan was pondering the deeper meaning behind Lin Yu's trip, she heard a call.

"Come on, Sister Xu, let's take a picture here. The pose is roughly like me reaching out towards the camera." Lin Yu found another scenic spot, his face beaming with smiles.

Most of the photos he takes have a youthful and sunny feel to them.

The videos, on the other hand, are somewhat educational and popular science-oriented, and the scripts were already memorized.

In fact, he didn't intend to release this video in the country.

After all, those video websites weren't really suitable for him.

Besides, he had no intention of becoming a content creator.

Lin Yu's target is YouTube, which is currently very popular!

As a global website, YouTube has a large number of creators.

However, when it comes to content creation, Lin Yu, who had spent over a decade watching short videos in his previous life, was confident that he had the ability to deliver a crushing blow!

The reason he set his sights on YouTube was not primarily to make money, but to gain a prestigious reputation!

It's important to understand that cultural confidence in China is currently quite weak. Instead of stubbornly clinging to it, it's better to find ways to gain more followers on global websites.

No matter how much, as long as there is, he dares to say that he has a certain degree of international recognition!

Moreover, this is also a way to promote domestic culture.

Once the public's confidence rises, he can arrange for his own marketing accounts to promote himself!

This is truly killing two birds with one stone.

Aside from some handsome photos for fans, Lin Yu also took some photos that weren't so flattering but were still quite funny overall.

For example, the way he looked wearing the costume from "Breakup Buddies" with a scruffy beard.

For example, some photos show people who seem to be smiling happily.

These photos would basically never appear on a celebrity's Weibo account in this era.

After all, the term "idol" is just emerging, and people care about their image more than their own fathers!

Therefore, Lin Yu plans to release these photos in limited quantities and not post them on his main account.

His new account has been successfully registered, and Lin Yu has already posted quite a few photos taken inside the film crew and released with Ning Hao's permission.

Many celebrities have done this trick before, but they mostly used big fans to put the photos in the super topic.

The main purpose is to enhance one's "real persona" in order to increase fan loyalty.

But these days, the super topic hasn't been launched yet, so Lin Yu can only resort to this method.

Moreover, to enhance his sense of authenticity, he personally managed the account that posted some "vivid" photos.

He gave his larger size to Xu Yan.

···

In the evening, Xu Yan, who had been filming for four or five days in a row, leaned helplessly on the sofa, her eyes somewhat vacant.

To be honest, when she recalled Lin Yu talking about traveling, she actually felt a little guilty about being paid to travel.

But now? Guilt? She'll never feel that again!

"Hey, Sister Xu, aren't you going to eat some?" Lin Yu casually pushed the sunflower seeds toward her.

He himself was sitting in front of the computer, rapidly editing the video.

Lin Yu's team did manage to hire an editor, but the editor's skills were really lacking, so Lin Yu simply decided to do it himself.

"From this perspective, the boss really does have a tough job..."

Xu Yan's thoughts quickly shifted, but she shook her head and said, "I don't really want to eat it right now."

"Beep beep." On the computer, the webpage where Lin Yu logged into Weibo flashed and emitted a notification sound.

He was taken aback, and when he casually clicked on it, he found it was a private message from someone.

Lin Yu usually doesn't care about these private messages, but when he saw the name of the person who sent the message, he was stunned.

Bai Mengyan needs to work hard.

Lin Yu looked at the name, and with a little surprise, clicked on the other person's profile picture to preview her homepage.

Her homepage contains several blog posts, most of which include pictures.

Lin Yu recognized the person in the picture; wasn't she Bai Lu, Bai Mengyan, a top-tier actress from later generations?

These days, Bai Mengyan hasn't even debuted yet, so naturally no one would impersonate her!

Bai Mengyan: Hello, are you there? I want to ask what equipment you used to take your photos and what software you used to edit them.

Bai Mengyan: So handsome!

Looking at the message sent by the other party, Lin Yu smiled slightly, feeling as if he had encountered many celebrities since his rebirth.

However, this is more likely a form of survivor bias.

After all, if he weren't a celebrity, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it.

Xiaolin is not funny: I use a professional SLR camera, and the software is just a common photo editing software on a computer.

Lin Yu answered truthfully, showing considerable interest in this girl with a clear goal.

In his past life, he had seen many of the other person's performances.

As a result, I've seen a lot of information about her through big data push notifications.

Unlike some people in the entertainment industry who stumble into it by chance, this young woman seemed to have set her sights on the entertainment industry from the very beginning.

In 2012, shortly after turning 18, she went to Shanghai with her parents to participate in the audition for a Korean group.

In 2013, she started a Weibo account and also became a model for an online store.

In 2015, she even went so far as to film a short film with Uncle Cat and others.

Without a doubt, this girl is someone who absolutely loves being in front of the camera.

At this moment, inside a girls' dormitory.

Bai Mengyan operated her phone, looking at the message sent by the other party, and remained silent for a moment before letting out a silent sigh.

"No wonder the photo looks like the model photos I took in the studio," she muttered, pouting.

Whether it's a DSLR camera or a computer, these both require money to buy, and unfortunately, Bai Mengyan is currently short of money.

She sighed helplessly, but still kept typing on her phone.

Bai Mengyan: Okay then~ Thank you.

Xiaolin is not funny: I happen to know some useful mobile photo editing apps. If you need them, I can share them with you.
