Today is April 6, 2018.

Ye Lin suddenly remembered that the "connotation joke" was going to be banned in a few days, yes, on April 10th.

In my impression, 2017 was the first year of short videos, and at that time, Douyin had not exploded to the extent that the whole network was popular.

In 2018, Douyin began to exert its strength, especially after the ban on "connotation jokes", Douyin became the most popular short video APP on the whole network, and there was no one.

In 2019, Douyin began to build its own monetization system and prepared to take the route of bringing goods, but at that time, it was more about video delivery, and the link to the product was hung in the video.

In 2020, Douyin's live streaming became popular, and until 2023, Douyin's commercial monetization system is fully mature.

Looking back, in fact, Douyin in the first half of 2018 was mainly based on the theme of "music short videos" to create some popular magic music short videos.

For example, "Are You Hi Today", "The Power of PDD", "faded", and "Something Just Like This" and so on......

"Hey, there it is!"

Ye Lin suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and he remembered that there happened to be a very hot idea on Douyin during the time before he crossed over.

"Fat brother, I'll write a list for you, here are the props needed to shoot a video, you go and prepare it today, we can shoot it tomorrow!"

Ye Lin took a blank piece of A4 paper and wrote a bunch of things on it.

Includes a stereo, a microphone, a bass, costumes, and other miscellaneous props.

The fat brother repeatedly confirmed to Ye Lin that these things were necessities, and then went out to prepare.

"Yezi, what the hell are you thinking? How to shoot the next video? Tell me about it! ”

Brother Bin looked at Ye Lin curiously.

"You'll know tomorrow, and you'll be suspicious if you tell you now."

Ye Lin smiled slightly, saying that he would keep it secret from Brother Bin for the time being, and he would just command Brother Bin to shoot tomorrow.

"Cut, it's mysterious, don't shoot it out when the time comes, and it's thousands of playbacks!" Brother Bin cut off, you don't want to say that I don't want to hear it yet.

……

In their "Threesome Media" team, each of the three brothers has their own areas of competence.

In addition to investing money, Fat Brother has three other characteristics.

First, it is mature and steady, and can take on things, like a needle in the sea.

The second is sleek, philistine, and very good at dealing with social entertainment on various occasions large and small.

Third, he has a wide range of contacts and many circles, from schools and government agencies to hardware stores and garbage recycling, and there are people he knows from all walks of life.

He can turn a stranger into a friend in just three minutes if needed, and that's what makes him special.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to hand over the work of preparing props to the fat brother.

The same prop, if you ask Ye Lin and Brother Bin to find it, they may not be able to find it after dark.

But if you hand it over to the fat brother, you may be able to make a phone call and go directly to a friend's house to pull it.

"Okay, Yezi, I've found all the props you want, what time will we start shooting tomorrow?"

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, the fat brother returned to the office with a bunch of props, Ye Lin and Brother Bin had already left after work, so he sent a voice message in the group of the three brothers to ask.

"Let's start preparing when we get to the company tomorrow, and go outside to find a place to shoot at about 10 o'clock!"

Ye Lin replied, thinking about whether he had missed anything in his mind.

"Okay, no problem, I'll come to the company early tomorrow!"

The fat brother agreed, and he didn't ask Ye Lin what video he wanted to shoot when he asked him to prepare so many props.

"I'll come early, too!" Brother Bin also replied in the group.

……

The next day.

The three brothers all arrived at the company at half past eight.

As soon as Brother Bin arrived, he began to check the camera, lens, memory card, and battery.

Ye Lin is changing his clothes, and today he is going to dress up a little rock and rap style.

The fat brother said that these clothes were borrowed from a friend in a trendy brand store, Ye Lin immediately understood, and said that he would not make people dirty, and we were not filming the phoenix dance for nine days.

"You're pretty much ready, aren't you? Let's go, let's go! ”

At half past nine, Ye Lin set off with Fat Brother and Brother Bin, and the stereo and bass were all moved into the trunk of Fat Brother.

Then drive to a bridge where the view is better.

Things are moved down and set up on the edge of the bridge, where there are very few vehicles and pedestrians, and they don't get in the way of traffic.

"Ye Zi, are you going to shoot a singing video this time?"

Brother Bin looked at the big speaker and microphone, thinking that he had guessed Ye Lin's thoughts.

"Yes and no...... Ye Lin smiled mysteriously, and then called the two over, "I'll tell you how to shoot in a while." ”

"I'll do this and this when the time comes...... Brother Bin just set up a camera to shoot me in the front, and then the fat brother took his mobile phone to shoot me from the side from the perspective of passers-by, understand? ”

Ye Lin commanded, Brother Bin and Fat Brother both understood, and nodded.

OK, Brother Bin's camera is in place, and Fat Brother's passerby's perspective mobile phone is also in place.

"Okay, ready, 1, 2, 3, go!"

Brother Bin crossed the horse and pressed the video button.

Ye Lin was facing the camera, wearing a rock 'n' roll hip-hop outfit, holding a bass on his chest, and the bass was pasted with colorful English letters.

The letters go from A to N, except for one "K" missing.

As Brother Bin shouted out, Ye Lin began his performance, only to see him pointing to the letters on the bass on his chest and reading:

“A，B，C，D，E，F，G，H，I，J…… I don't have a K? ”

Then he picked up the microphone and shouted like crazy:

"I don't have a K!"

"I don't have a K!"

"I don't have K, Bulu biu, Bulu biu~"

"Dinosaurs anti-wolf anti-wolf anti~"

"Dinosaurs anti-wolf anti-wolf anti~"

"Dinosaurs anti-wolf anti-wolf anti~"

"Dinosaurs anti-wolf, anti-wolf anti-......"

With his demonic dance steps, he directly looked at Brother Bin stupidly.

The fat brother can't hold back here,, what are you doing here?

It just so happened that two young ladies walked by, and their eyes were all on Ye Lin, who was dancing and singing awkwardly, and the short-haired young lady directly covered her mouth and laughed.

"OK, that's it!"

After a brief shooting, Ye Lin stopped and told Brother Bin that he had finished filming.

Brother Bin is stupid, huh? Who am I? Where am I? Am I doing gods and demons?

"How? How's the shot? I'll take a look at the footage! ”

Ye Lin walked over and picked up the camera to check the video he had just taken.

After watching it quickly, he nodded with satisfaction, his acting ability is still very good, it's a pity not to be an actor.

"No, Yezi, can you tell me what this shot is? How can I not understand at all? ”

Brother Bin's face is full of question marks,, those who know know that you are making short videos, and those who don't know think you are crazy!

"I don't understand, you performance art...... Ahead of its time, right? ”

The fat brother said, I don't understand, but I'm shocked, you don't look like a normal person can do the work.

"Hahaha, if you can't understand it, if you can understand it, then this video can't be fired!"

Ye Lin laughed and said, there was no music added when filming just now, so it looked very embarrassing.

When you add the music of "Eyebrow Flying Color Dance" in the later stage, you will find out...... It's even more embarrassing!
