Chapter 1136 You Just Don't Have Fire
Chapter 1136 You Just Don't Have Fire
Miss Yuan is really unlucky today. She got a little advantage at the hospital, but now she's given it all away here.
Fortunately, the force wasn't too great, otherwise Tom and Jerry wouldn't be an animated film, and Miss Yuan would have been filmed as a two-dimensional image behind the door.
"Sister Yuan, Sister Yuan, have a Coke, it's ice cold, just right, hehe!"
In the living room, Zhang Wei handed over a can of iced cola, speaking in a somewhat ingratiating manner.
There was nothing that could be done. Miss Yuan had a red mark on her forehead, clearly from being bumped. Zhang Wei was terrified, afraid that Miss Yuan would shove his head into the toilet.
呲~
The Coke was opened, and Miss Yuan took a big gulp, which finally calmed her down.
"Fatty, don't say I didn't give you a chance. You'd better make me happy today, or I'll let you experience how many steps it takes to put an elephant in a refrigerator!" Miss Yuan burped and then said with a displeased look.
I finally made it here, but before I even got inside, I was given a real rude awakening and almost died at the door.
"Ahem, Sister Yuan, look at you, why are you getting so worked up? I just didn't see you," Zhang Wei said, trying to appease her in a very humble manner.
Seeing this, Lin Mo couldn't help but laugh and said, "Sister Yuan, there's something wrong with how you knock on the door. Next time, let's bring two drumsticks. Knocking like this not only hurts your hands, but you're also standing close by. Look, you almost got accidentally hurt this time!"
"Get out of my way! Do you think I want to be short? Do you think I don't want long legs and a curvy figure? This is just how I am. My arms are short, and I can't reach them unless I move forward!" Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him.
Unfortunately, her height is Miss Yuan's biggest weakness. Even if she were flat-chested, it wouldn't be considered her height. It is precisely because of this height, along with her childlike face, that strangers often mistake her for a child.
That means her family is well-off, and they can have clothes custom-made. If it were an ordinary family, she would have to go to the children's clothing section to buy clothes.
"Ahem, let's not talk about that for now. Wei-ge, you didn't go out to play during your vacation? Is this a new holiday?" Lin Mo asked, looking at Zhang Wei.
At this moment, Zhang Wei was wearing black shorts, a white oversized short-sleeved shirt, and slippers. His hair was messy, and there was still sleep in the corner of his eyes. He looked like he had just gotten out of bed.
"What's the point of going out? It's only a two-day holiday. I might as well stay home. Going out to play is a luxury for rich people. What can a poor guy like me do? My wallet won't allow it!"
"I'd love to volunteer to work overtime and earn triple pay, but obviously, the company hasn't given me that opportunity. Sigh, everyone else wants a vacation, but I don't even have the chance to work overtime. It's like some people are dying of thirst while others are drowning in water!" Zhang Wei said helplessly.
Since Lin Mo returned to school last year, and soon after, Miss Yuan followed him, Zhang Wei's life at the company has become boring.
Although he was promoted to team leader and his salary increased, and because of his relationship with Lin Mo and Miss Yuan, even the manager at the company treated him very politely, boredom is still boredom. As a result, Zhang Wei is now obsessed with making money and doesn't want to think about anything else but making money.
"You're being a bit hypocritical, aren't you? What have you been doing at home these past few days? You haven't been lying in bed pretending to be dead all day, have you?"
"You're only getting up now, kid? Did you do something naughty last night?" Miss Yuan asked suspiciously.
Clearly, after the two of them interrupted her, she had forgotten about dealing with Zhang Wei. That's just how Miss Yuan is; her emotions come and go quickly. She never holds grudges and never engages in internal strife.
"What else can I do if I don't lie down? Now, whenever I have a holiday, I basically don't leave the house. I even have the delivery guy take the trash down for me."
"As for what I do at home, hehe, I occasionally do live streams and update my content," Zhang Wei chuckled, looking rather lewd.
Upon hearing this, both of them were taken aback.
Miss Yuan: "Live broadcast?"
Lin Mo: "You're still updating your content? When did you start being a self-media creator?"
Upon hearing this news, the two were indeed somewhat incredulous, after all, Zhang Wei's behavior really didn't seem like that of someone who ran a self-media business!
"No, I've been doing this for a while now, haven't you seen me online?" Zhang Wei retorted.
The two shook their heads repeatedly at this.
"No, you didn't say that either. Neither of us pays attention to you, how could we know?" Lin Mo said helplessly, spreading his hands.
Zhang Wei got a little excited when he heard this: "How could we not have seen it? We have each other's contact information. How could we not see it if we know each other?"
Am I not popular?
Upon hearing this, Miss Yuan stood up and patted Zhang Wei on the shoulder: "Even if you take away the difficulty, you still won't be popular."
"No, what exactly did you film? Why are you venturing into independent media?"
"Hey, you guys took me on a blind date a while back, and I became a bit of a sensation after taking on three people at a bar. My account is almost 300,000 followers now, so I was thinking about doing some freelance work as a content creator. I stream for two hours every night after get off work, and occasionally I film some everyday footage. Recently, I've been trying to make short videos. I stream every day, and some people in the chat room send me gifts. I even connect with female streamers for PK battles, although I lose more than I win, I'm still somewhat famous. How could you guys not have sent me gifts!"
I've even taken on ads for the Zhuanzhuan platform!
Miss Yuan:
Lin Mo:
It turns out that ever since Zhang Wei took on three people at the bar, he quickly opened his own account, riding on Li Shiya's popularity. His followers increased significantly, much more than the account he gained from Liu Ruyan's Douyin campaign. That's why he had the idea of starting his own media account.
With this fan base, Zhang Wei did receive a lot of tips during his evening live streams in the first few days. However, as the popularity waned, the number of gifts during his live streams decreased, but after a month, he still had some extra income.
Even his part-time income for a month was no less than his current salary, which was a pleasant surprise.
After a period of exploration, although he didn't become a big hit, he did figure out some of the processes of self-media, and with his number of followers, he managed to earn a meager income.
In particular, many netizens know that he knows Li Shiya and Lin Mo, and during the period when Li Shiya was silent last month, people came to his live broadcast room every night to ask what Li Shiya had been doing recently, which also increased his popularity.
As for the ads on the Zhuanzhuan platform, the revenue isn't much, since it depends on the number of video views. You could say that Zhang Wei's account is currently in a state of being half-full and half-empty.
The two then asked Zhang Wei to take out his phone, looked at his social media account, and browsed through his works.
This made the two of them fully realize the importance of talent. Some people are talented and can become famous with just a few photos, but some people always look fake no matter how they are photographed.
It's fine for everyday filming, but the skits Zhang Wei shoots have lines that are so fake they're practically believable. They're practically reading lines from a script.
"Hey, Wei-ge, why don't we just go back to work?" Lin Mo sighed helplessly.
Miss Yuan nodded: "That's right. If all else fails, we'll wait until Mozi marries Liu Ruyan and then promote you to manager. You're really not suited for the self-media business."
"No, I think I can still be saved. Besides, I'm doing live streams every day now. I don't receive many gifts, but I still have some income. I'm doing it as a part-time job, so it should be okay!" Zhang Wei quickly explained.
He really wants to make a living as a self-media creator. He had this idea since last year when Lin Mo was still working at the company. He had the opportunity at that time and his account gained tens of thousands of followers.
However, some people just can't seize opportunities even when they are clearly available. It's not that they don't realize it's an opportunity, but that they lack the ability.
Chuanmei was born to do this. She seized an opportunity because she had already learned editing and filming, and she could even do her own makeup. You could say that even without Lin Mo and others, she could complete a project on her own, even if she was a bit slow.
Despite Lin Mo's several moments of fame and popularity due to his presence, without Chuan Mei's filming and editing, simply releasing these videos would be pointless.
Both he and Miss Yuan have this ability, but in the end, it has to be shown to netizens through Li Shiya's account.
Miss Yuan: "That's because there was still some buzz before. Once the buzz completely dies down, your livestreaming income will plummet because you won't have any original content!"
That hits the nail on the head. The reason Li Shiya became popular is that she has her own style. Women's clothing is her foundation, and all her subsequent styles are derived from her beauty, which led to her successful transformation.
"Hey, if all else fails, I'll talk to Chuanzi sometime and ask him to connect with you during his live streams. That way, I can get some traffic for you," Lin Mo said after thinking for a moment.
Although he knew that Zhang Wei wasn't particularly talented in self-media, as a friend, he couldn't keep discouraging him. He offered some help, and if Zhang Wei still couldn't succeed, he would give up on his own.
After all, people don't have many opportunities to change their own destiny. Zhang Wei's current account, with nearly 300,000 followers, is an opportunity.
"Really? That's great!" Zhang Wei exclaimed excitedly.
Lin Mo nodded: "It's okay, we can take it slow. What if we succeed? When you have free time, go to the university town to find Sister Yuan and me. We can also exchange experiences on doing self-media with Chuanzi and the others."
But seriously, Wei Ge, if you want to do self-media, you'll need to learn editing and filming.
"No problem, I'm very confident about this. By the way, why did you two suddenly think of me today?" Zhang Wei asked curiously.
Miss Yuan: "Because it's boring. Li Shiya and the others have all gone to work. I was thinking, well, there's still you here, all free. Zhou, wake up! Let's go have some fun!"
"Let's go, anyway, staying at home is useless except for making you stink and attracting maggots, let's go out for a walk together."
"Sister Yuan, don't you know? She's the kind of player who'd go to the hospital and slap the wounded when she's bored!" Lin Mo laughed.
Miss Yuan: (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
