"Ten million? That's not enough to beat a terminal illness, you say?"

Lan Li is not a professional, and he does not know and cannot predict when amyotrophic lateral sclerosis will really find an effective way to suppress it, and even the possibility of cure. At least, Lan Li still hadn't heard anything about it before he was reborn in the previous life, but now, Lan Li could only do his best to hope that this day would come sooner rather than later.

This is Heather's wish and Lanli's promise.

He is not a savior, he is not qualified to be a savior, he does not want to change the fate of a group of people, he does not want to save the lives of a group of people, and he does not want to cure amyotrophic lateral sclerosis by himself, but at least, he can do his part on the road of promoting social progress and changing the status quo of society.

Ten million is a drop in the bucket for a terminal illness that no one cares about.

It is not enough to study the disease itself, to study effective drugs, or to subsidize poor patients and poor families. More importantly, it is necessary to expand social influence, and truly let more and more people participate in the research, care and attention of the disease, so that a terminal illness can be overcome.

The understatement made Andy's nose slightly sour, "Lan Li, you don't have to carry this burden, you know, it's not anyone's fault." ”

"I know. Lan Li chuckled, he could feel the care from Andy, "I don't have this burden on my back, I'm just doing my part within my ability, and then praying that one day, someone can pry the whole world." Even if it's not me, that's good. ”

After a short period of sadness, Lan Li changed the topic and said actively, "You say, what other ways can we further expand our influence and raise further funds?" The reason why charitable foundations need to raise funds is because the power of individuals is too weak, and in the final analysis, it still needs to gather the strength of the whole society, and even the support of the government.

"Don't you know? After graduating from high school, my brain was running out of creative ideas. Andy teased himself, "Honestly, the idea of the 'Today Show' couldn't have been better, and I can't think of a better way." However, now that young people are paying attention to social networks, perhaps, we can start with Facebook or YouTube and shoot some videos of real patients to make people aware of the fear of the disease......"

"It's corny. Lan Li interrupted Andy's suggestion, "For young people, what they need is curiosity, not Oprah Winfrey-esque sensationalism and clichés." That's not how social networks work. ”

Andy didn't mind, shrugging, "I said, my creative inspiration has been dead for a long, long time. Immediately, Andy noticed another thing, "I thought you didn't have any interest in social networks, and you didn't know anything about it. ”

So far, Lan Li still does not have any social media accounts, and she does not look like a young person born in 1989 at all.

"Just because you don't have an account doesn't mean you don't know. Haven't you thought that it may be because you know too much that you refuse to fit in?" Lan Li paradoxically changed the subject.

As a reborn, Lan Li is well aware of the power of social networks, but in fact, Lan Li does not have an account on social networks.

In his last life, his life was completely trapped in a hospital bed, he even needed help with eating and drinking, and there was no way to take care of himself, let alone log on to social accounts, all his understanding was done through news, movies, music and other media, of course, there were other patients, family members, nurses and so on in the ward. In the age of social networks, it is impossible to know nothing.

In this life, due to the education of an aristocratic family and the protection of personal privacy, Lanli has never registered any social network. For him personally, the impact is not very great, but for the current generation of young people and journalists, it is an extremely absurd decision.

One of the most interesting cases of social networking is Christian Bale, the actor who has just removed the Batman suit, hesitated and hesitated, and finally opened a personal Twitter account with a simple greeting after repeated urging from his agency and supporting fans.

But less than 30 minutes after the launch, Christian posted a second tweet, which basically read: I don't think I'm still suitable for Twitter, and I hereby announce my complete withdrawal. And then...... There is no then.

Now, for the first time, Lan Li is also officially thinking about whether he should open his first social network account. A middle-aged man who is already fifty-four years old at heart, but he is a complete rookie when it comes to social networking.

Ending the topic of social networks, Andy returned to the focus of the "Gravity" heroine, asking Lan Li's personal opinion and whether he was inclined to work with someone.

Although Lan Li will not be directly involved in the casting decisions as a producer, there is no doubt that Lan Li's opinion is an extremely important reference object, whether it is Alfonso Cuarón or the crew of the producer. So, Andy needs to understand something and then ask for more.

However, Lan Li did not give a direct answer, but opened up the possibilities. From the bottom of my heart, these three actresses are the objects that Lan Li hopes to work with, and different collaborations are bound to rub different sparks, no matter which actress stands out in the end, this cooperation will be a new experience, and it gives Lan Li another reason to look forward to filming.

After some rambling discussion, he hung up the phone.

casually dropped the mobile phone on the table, picked up the coffee, and felt the aroma of the coffee, but his eyes fell on the mobile phone and did not move away for a long time. After hesitating for a moment, Lan Li picked up her phone again and decided to open a social network account.

Frankly admitting that Lan Li actually has some expectations and some rejection for social networks.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to divulge too much personal privacy, but more hopes to get more recognition as an actor.

Moreover, deep down, he is worried, indulging in social networks and unable to extricate himself, he has really seen too many cases, as well as countless cases of infinite scenery on the Internet and loneliness and depression in real life, there are really many cases, he is worried that he is also addicted to it and can't extricate himself.

Internet poisoning, social network addiction, this should be the problem that most modern urbanites need to face in the 21st century. Even if Lan Li is a reborn, he doesn't have much advantage in this regard.

On the other hand, in the age of social networks, the explosion of information aside, the change in the mode of interaction between artists and fans has made artists more authentic, and at the same time they can face more opinions and criticisms - and, of course, the accompanying online violence, which is a new model for artists.

Lan Li has witnessed too much news on social networks, good and bad, positive and negative, but he has never tried it himself. Even if you are human in two lifetimes, curiosity is inevitable.

But now, the time has come, there is no need to hesitate, then choose a social network and try to run it. If he doesn't like it, he can always choose to turn it off, just like Christian Bale.

In 2012, social networks are booming. Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Twitter, etc...... Each network has its own huge group, and gradually formed a deep-rooted network community, building a magnificent network world.

For most people, they can choose all social networks, register an account on each platform, and then stretch their tentacles to explore the unknown world, but Lan Li didn't want it to be so cumbersome, and after careful consideration, he chose Instagram as his first social networking platform.

Facebook, which needs to fill in personal information such as education and residence, is more of a university-based network, and in order to avoid leaking more personal information, the first one is excluded.

YouTube, a social platform built entirely on the basis of video originality and video sharing, but this means that creators need to spend more time on video editing and video creation, for which Lanli did not plan to spend too much time, so it was also excluded.

Weibo and the year, mainly in the Chinese world, the market share on the world platform is still too small.

Eventually, Lan Li's eyes fell on Twitter and Instagram.

The commonality of the two apps is that they adapt to the characteristics of the era of fast food culture, and the amount of information is condensed to a minimum, Twitter communicates with 14 crosses and 30-second short videos, while the Instagram is simply and rudely directly completed with photos.

If Lanli is not mistaken, in 2017, Twitter and Instagram gradually began to become the mainstream of the market, and the Instagram showed a rocket rising mode, although the user base cannot be compared with YouTube and Facebook, but the number of active users is catching up.

Choosing Twitter and Instagram meant that Lanli could condense as much time as possible on social networking platforms – at least that's what Lanli thinks.

In addition, Lan Li now had an idea in his head, an idea from his previous life, an idea about the Heather Cross Foundation, which needed to be presented in the form of a video. That's why Twitter and Instagram are the best choices.

For the next thirty minutes, Lan Li sat down and began to slowly tinker, and when he came back to his senses, he realized that time had passed.

It's no wonder that people are always involuntarily immersed in social networks, holding their mobile phones, swiping down, brushing and brushing, the passage of time loses its meaning, and the first time to officially contact the world of social networks, Lan Li is also dazzled.

What's even more interesting is that Lan Li found that searching for "Lan Li-Hall" on Twitter and Instagram, there were more than 100 users before and after, with a variety of usernames, which was dazzling, and some people even swore that they were the real "Lan Li-Hall", which really made people laugh and cry.
