Chapter 64: You're Famous
With the headlights sweeping through the darkness of the night, the van rounded the last junction and finally stopped at the embankment on the banks of the Yangon River.
"Young master, send you here, I want to go back and return the car quickly."
Gu Weijing waved goodbye to the sleepy-eyed Bombay brother in the driver's seat.
Just like when I went to the orphanage, when I came back, I still spent a lot of time on the twisting city roads.
At this time, it was already dark and quiet.
The lights on the entire street had been extinguished, and Gu Weijing quietly walked home from the back door of the gallery, charged his phone, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After a day of running around the huge city of Yangon, he was also tired.
Gu Weijing dispelled the idea of wanting to sketch again in his mind, and was ready to wash up casually and go to bed.
"Buzz!"
"THE USER YOU FOLLOW [KATSUKO] HAS UPDATED HER INSTAGRAM (PHOTO WALL)."
Coming out of the bathroom in a bathrobe,
Gu Weijing saw such a new prompt appear in the mobile phone information box that he had just re-lit.
"Miss Sakai sent a new photo?"
Since he and the other party separated that day, not only did they add each other's contact information, but Gu Weijing also paid attention to Miss Sakai's INS.
INS, THE ABBREVIATION OF THE SOFTWARE INSTAGRAM, IS THE WORLD'S LARGEST SMALL FRESH STYLE PICTURE SOCIAL SOFTWARE.
The app is affiliated with the same company as Facebook, and the main focus is photo social, and many Hollywood movie stars and painting artists have their own INS accounts.
Katsuko Sakai's INS is very professional.
Her account name is her own name [Katsuko] without any fancies, and the note is that she is a young painter and the champion of the all-day young artist art competition.
She is constantly updated with news about her new work, life photos, or awards in certain art competitions.
When Gu Weijing followed the other party, her account already had 203K followers.
That's almost twice as many as the more than 70,000 followers of her father, the famous artist Uncle Sakai, who runs the studio's studio on Professor Kazunari's official account, which is run by a team of professional economists at the gallery.
On social media, whether it's audience or algorithmic recommendations, a pretty little girl is much more popular than a fat uncle who can only draw.
However, after the other party came to Yangon, the frequency of INS updates became slower.
He remembers that the last time Miss Sakai posted a photo was two weeks ago, with the Shwedagon Pagoda in the background, and the English caption read, "I met a very talented friend, let's work together!" ”
If Gu Weijing's prediction is not bad, then it should be himself.
At this time, seeing that Miss Sakai had updated the new news, he subconsciously clicked in.
page refresh,
A warm-toned crayon drawing and a colored pencil drawing appear on the screen.
Hey?
The painting ......
"I felt my own humility and insignificance in front of the unknown master, and I salute the new challenge winner of [Mr. Hyperion Channel], Jane Arnold, and the detective cat. - Katsuko Sakai. ”
At the bottom of the page is the accompanying text given by Katsuko Sakai when she updated her photo wall.
He saw that Tsunamasa Sakai, Uncle Sakai, and Mrs. Sakai and a whole bunch of other people liked (liked).
What the heck?
Gu Weijing's first reaction when he saw this news was that he thought it was some kind of prank.
Almost blankly, he clicked into the YouTube video link that Katsuko Sakai had posted below the picture.
When Thomas's famous face appeared in the screen of the mobile phone, Gu Weijing was almost stunned.
He knew this man,
No, he knows this man's body,
Neither is it right......
Gu Weijing knew the muscle lines of this person.
When I drew the illustration before, the man in COS Batman was wearing a bat mask, but he had drawn the muscular curves of his body in detail.
At this time, comparing the figure of Mr. Hyperion in the video, a familiar image immediately came to mind.
“WTF!”
Gu Weijing bounced up from the bed like an electrocuted fish, and his sleepiness suddenly dissipated.
While playing the video, he got up from the bed, walked quickly to the computer, and pressed the power button.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding......"
At the first moment when the computer is turned on and connected to the Internet, all kinds of new message prompts are mixed together and connected into a large piece.
The mailbox bound to the new message linked to the Fiverr account was like a poison, and it was instantly flooded with a flood of emails.
A prompt for a new mail message in the Windows status bar pops up like a waterfall from the screen prompt.
"Fiverr - You have a new message from #SEB STUDIO."
"Fiverr - You have a new message from #Blue49890."
"Fiverr - You have a new message from #송중기의작은미녀......"
Each email slides out of the bottom right corner of the computer, and after a split second, it is replaced by the next one.
Almost in just a few seconds, the system's new message prompt broke through the upper limit of what the status bar could hold, becoming 999+.
……
"I'll go, my God, ...... There is such a coincidence. ”
Half an hour later,
Gu Weijing was still in a daze at the videos that had already been broadcast and the thousands of massive emails in his mailbox.
He couldn't believe that the buyer who found him turned out to be the legendary world's number one Internet celebrity [Mr. Hyperion].
In fact, this is a coincidence, and it is not a coincidence.
Although there are more than 2,300 registered artists on Fiverr, there are too many bad reviews after removing those who register and play casually, and never log in since creating an account.
There are about 1,100 artists in normal business.
There are about 67 illustrators who charge less than $20 for a manuscript, and only 7 who charge exactly $10.
1 in 7 chances.
And Gu Weijing is the latest of them.
As long as someone does a reverse search in units of ten dollars, it is easy to see his store under the recommendation algorithm.
However, he did not have the heart to think about probability at this time.
The new message chime in the computer speakers continues.
He turned off the system's new email prompt, and the annoying endless tinkling sound finally fell silent.
Gu Weijing opens the homepage of Fiverr.
He saw the first unread message in the completed order column, which was sent by the user [Hyperion1077].
“Surprise!!!”
"Hello, I'm Mr. Hyperion, (YouTube account: Mr. Hyperion Channel), congratulations on your work winning the new video I recorded [From One Dollar to One Million Dollar Painting Challenge]. This is the most incredible result I've ever seen since I recorded this video......"
The other party also posted the address of his Twitter tweet about the new video.
He logged on to Mr. Hyperion's Twitter page on his computer and immediately understood where so many new messages were coming from in his mailbox.
Thomas left a link to the Twitter account or Fiverr owner of each of the seven painters in his tweets, except for the homeless man who wandered the streets.
As the world's biggest influencer, he has nearly as many followers on Twitter as a president.
The Twitter message has already surpassed 36 million views and is growing rapidly.
Even if only 1 in 10,000 viewers are willing to click in and leave a message on their Fiverr account, that's thousands of unread messages.
Fiverr's web client indicates that its unread messages have reached the 10,000 online messages that the server can hold.
After all, it's just a multinational part-time site.
Since the day its website was launched, I probably never thought that a part-time small store owner would usher in such a huge data flow in his mailbox.
If it weren't for the abnormal traffic monitored by the website background and repaired urgently, these sudden influx of users almost directly collapsed the entire website's server.
"Thank you for allowing me to record a great video. Congratulations on your excellent work and the rewards you deserve—"
You're famous, Mrs. Detective Cat. ”
