Chapter 8 You're Not Fit to Be an Internet Celebrity!
Funny on video.
Chen Xiao's fans are gradually increasing, thanks to the selfie "Let Me Be Your Eyes" comic video he posted. The main function of this video is to make netizens who like his song find a follower to him.
It's just that Chen Xiao looks at the number of likes and the growth rate of fans, why does he feel a little too slow?
Moreover, Chen Xiao clicked on the comments and found that there were not a few netizens who commented on the question that he was not handsome, which reminded Chen Xiao of some comments he had seen before, and many netizens talked about his appearance.
Do netizens in this world pay so much attention to appearance?
Chen Xiao felt a little strange in his heart, he found that this world seemed to be different from what he imagined.
At this moment, Chen Xiao's mobile phone rang suddenly.
"I love you, you don't love me. You love him, he loves her, is she you..."
Chen Xiao glanced at the number on the caller ID, which was an unfamiliar number that he had never seen before. For this reason, Chen Xiao hesitated slightly, and then picked it up.
"Hey, hello, is that Mr. Chen Xiao?"
As soon as the phone was answered, there was a polite man's voice opposite, a bit like the voice of customer service that Chen Xiao had heard.
Chen Xiao said strangely: "Who are you?"
The other end of the phone said: "I'm Zhou Kai, a staff member of the audio and video company, you can call me Xiao Zhou." The cappella video you posted has been loved and supported by many platform users on the platform through our promotion, so I called you today because I have something to discuss with you. ”
Funny video staff?
Rao is all the customer service that Chen Xiao can think of in his heart, and he thought about it very quickly, and he didn't expect that this call would be from the customer service of the audio and video!
This made Chen Xiao's heart beat faster, and a bold idea was born in his heart!
Could it be?
The people of the comic company have a discerning eye, and they just posted a cappella video, and the other company found out that they are extraordinary, and felt their strong star potential and huge commercial value.
In the future, he will tease the Internet celebrity circle, and his brother Xiao will have the final say?
Chen Xiao felt that he was ready! Including the above heartfelt words, Chen Xiao did not say it in his heart, he completely accelerated his tone and the blessing of various special effects, and acted out with his imagination.
The scenes in my mind, I am old and handsome!! Sure enough, I am the son of destiny, and the tiger body is proud of the sky! As soon as I get out of the horse, the road to Internet celebrity has been stepped on!
Hey! The world is too simple, it's not interesting!
Just when Chen Xiao was lonely in his heart like a lone wolf who was sunny and handsome, cold and noble, born extraordinary, peerless and full of positive energy, he heard Zhou Kai's voice on the phone and said:
"I'm calling you today mainly to have good news to inform you. Our company leaders have decided to buy all the copyrights to the songs you post on the comic videos. We intend to promote this song and make it a new comic comedy! In addition, we will also invite the most popular Internet celebrity 'Brother Ran' to sing the first version of this song, to ensure that your good song will become popular on comics!"
When Chen Xiao heard this, he almost blurted out a civilized term "MMP"!
He waited for a long time, looking forward to the good news for a long time, and it turned out to be this??
Buy his songs, sing them for other Internet celebrities, is this something that the human brain can come up with?
Why!!
Wouldn't it be better for him to sing his own fire?
Chen Xiao said with questions: "I can actually sing this song by myself!"
The other end of the phone apologized: "If that's the case, it's really a pity that it's a good song! Mr. Chen Xiao, in fact, I understand your current mood, similar things, because of my work, I have actually seen a lot." We have also tried to promote some ordinary-looking people as Internet celebrities, but they have all failed. It's a fact that today's video users are very concerned about their appearance. In fact, it's not just our platform, if you look at the current celebrities, which one is not all handsome men and beautiful women. ”
"You may not know that when we were promoting the video you posted today, we observed some data, and if this song was sung by a certain Internet celebrity, I am afraid that the results would be more than ten times better. Therefore, please think about it again, our company is very sincere, and all the copyright fees for a song in terms of price are 10,000 yuan. I'm sure that for you, an amateur, no one will give a higher price anymore. It's a pity that such a potential song is really delayed because of your personal reasons!"
Originally, Chen Xiao was very disgusted by the idea that her song should be sung by other Internet celebrities, and she felt that it was quite unfair. As a result, when he heard that the other company was going to buy all the copyrights of his song for 10,000 yuan, Chen Xiao laughed!!
This is really a big fool to take him seriously!
10,000 yuan to buy the entire copyright of "Let Me Be Your Eyes"? Isn't this a clear trick! Who is this to look down on? When he hasn't seen money?
This is not a so-called negotiation at all, it's just a one-sided bullying of the official store, wanting to reap huge returns without paying a price, and he is just alone.
Therefore, after hearing the price said by the other party, Chen Xiao felt that there was no need to talk about this phone call anymore, this was not a fair conversation at all!
"Tell your leader, I won't sell songs! Let him stop dreaming!"
After speaking, Chen Xiao directly angrily deducted the phone!
Then the more I think about it, the more angry I become, this is so disgusting!!
It's just that what Chen Xiao doesn't know is that he hasn't seen anything more disgusting.
...
Comic Company.
After Zhou Kai finished talking to Chen Xiao on the phone, he walked to Director Li's office and told Director Li about the process of talking to Chen Xiao. Director Li frowned, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
"Hey, Mr. Chai, when will the song I asked you to make will be made?"
"It's going to take two or three months? My price will rise to 800,000 for you, can you get it out within this month?"
"Are there a couple of other singers waiting in line for your song? I know, it's okay, so let's do it for now. Notify me when your song is ready. ”
After Li Tong, the director of Funny, thought about it after talking on the phone, and instructed Zhou Kai: "We must get the song "Let Me Be Your Eyes", 10,000 yuan is not a lot in terms of money. I still don't believe how tough a newcomer who is destined to become an Internet celebrity can be. Give him some means, put pressure on him. ”
...
Fresh fruit in the milk tea shop.
After Chen Xiao calmed down for a while, he also began to reflect on himself. Seriously, he patronized the uncomfortable WeChat today, and then helped play the glory of kings, accosted the girl, and slapped Manager Xu in the face, but he didn't spend too much time paying attention to the changes in this world!
Originally, Chen Xiao thought that this world was just a historical figure in the original world, and the culture and entertainment had changed, but now it seems that this world is still very different from what he imagined!
It turns out that the entertainment industry and Internet celebrity circles in this world have such high requirements for image and appearance?
Chen Xiao thinks that he is a little handsome and good-looking, but there is still a big gap between him and Kunkun's kind of demon.
He thought that his video had become popular, and the road to Internet celebrity was not far away. As a result, the official staff of the comic voice came up and poured a basin of cold water on him, which made his heart feel cool and cold!
But even so, he won't give up easily! Not to mention that he can't make a breath without steaming steamed buns, he can't let the comic official look down on him no matter what!
As soon as Chen Xiao remembered that the other party was going to sing his song to other Internet celebrities, and the other party still looked like he was giving away and bought it at a price that was not as good as Chinese cabbage, he felt depressed!
There's a special urge to prove yourself!
Why should the fruits of one's own labor make others earn a lot of money for nothing? And he can only be a spectator who is silently envious in his heart?
Perhaps before him, whether it was in the Internet celebrity circle or the entertainment industry, there was no precedent for ordinary looks to become popular. Then he, Chen Xiao, will open this precedent! The more the reality is like this, the more it arouses Chen Xiao's desire to fight and his determination to become an Internet celebrity first! He is unwilling and can only envy others!
Because, after perceiving that the world has changed, Chen Xiao really has too many things in his heart that he wants to show to the world! He rarely has the meaning of life, and he is no longer confused and hesitant, which is a feeling that Chen Xiao has never had in the days of otaku who ate and waited for death before.
But at this time, someone stood up and said, you are not suitable to be an Internet celebrity, you are not suitable to do this, it is better to take this money and go back to being an otaku!
This kind of ruthless blow is the most uncomfortable for Chen Xiao.
A person who has just had hope and saw hope, but is about to be ruthlessly shattered, wantonly trampled and humiliated by others, this is the most painful thing.
Therefore, even Chen Xiao, who used to be an otaku, decided to stand up and bravely say "no" to the world!
Maybe no one knows the painful torment of being an otaku, they look skinless and faceless, not motivated at all, happily eating and waiting for death every day, bullying and laughing at others. But if there is a chance, who doesn't want to live a wonderful and gorgeous life.
Now, the opportunity is in front of Chen Xiao's eyes, how can this not make him desperately crazy!
