In the morning, a short, dark and thin girl came out of the Capital Airport. After asking for a long time, she got on the bus and drove towards the city.
She was obviously nervous and insecure about the unfamiliar environment, but she also exuded a maturity that was inconsistent with her age and had a lot of experience. She was holding a bag in her arms, and her fingers were rough, and they looked like working hands.
Her name is Li Jiajia, from Mianyang, Sichuan.
Her father died young and her stepmother was not good to her, so her grandparents took her home and she knew how to do farm work since she was a child. Later, her grandfather passed away and her grandmother raised her alone, which made life very difficult.
At the age of 14, she went to work in the city, slept on a park chair, ate steamed buns for two consecutive months, worked as a waiter, and played discs. Later, her grandmother fell ill, so she returned to her hometown and opened a Taobao store to make a living.
This year, she tried to make some videos on Mai Li and chose the rural life she was most familiar with. She imitated Pan Pan, made handmade soy sauce, and built a thatched shed with wood and bamboo in the yard by herself... With some
With a little popularity, I earned some small living expenses.
On the occasion of the New Year, Maili sent her an invitation letter, with all food, accommodation, and transportation included. Li Jiajia came to the capital with the intention of traveling.
She has another name on the Internet: Li Ziqi.
"The Asian Games Village is here!"
She took the bus line 5 and walked for more than 20 kilometers, and finally arrived at the Asian Games Village. Li Jiajia got off the bus quickly, opened the Amap map, and walked about 890 meters until she arrived in front of a building.
Beichen Continental Hotel!
It was built in 1989 to welcome the Asian Games. Behind the hotel is the Asian Games Village, which was later sold out for commercial use. It was an early wealthy area in Beijing.
13 floors, with green space in front, quite majestic.
Li Jiajia hesitated for a while before walking in. Usually she could not come to a place like this by herself. She entered the door and was about to ask the front desk when she suddenly saw a big sign:
99 New Year’s Eve Party Reception!
oops!
She knew it instantly and hurried over and said, "Hello, I'm here to attend the party."
"Hello, let's take a look at the invitation card."
"Oh, Li Jiajia, your room is in 506, two people per room, just go up."
The other party handed a brochure to Li Jiajia, thanked her, carried her bag upstairs, and flipped through it. It contained party procedures, location, hotel room and board reminders, etc.
For example, I wrote a special note: You can eat whatever you want in the hotel restaurant, just show your room number and we will reimburse you!
Also: If you have anything to do, call this number xxxxx, it doesn’t matter what you do, even if you can’t sleep and want to find someone to chat!
"..."
With her nervousness gone and her heart feeling warm, Li Jiajia found the room. There was already a girl inside, a film and television complainer from Hunan who was also a college student.
"I like celebrity gossip the most. I also like watching movies and TV shows. I want to complain when I see someone I don't like."
"Thank you, Commander Yao, for allowing me to satisfy my hobbies and make money at the same time, hahahaha!"
"Well……"
Li Jiajia has black lines on her head. This roommate has a bit of a two-dimensional style of painting.
The two chatted, went to have lunch together, and met many UP owners. This circle is different from the entertainment circle. It is just like the offline gatherings of netizens, lively and noisy.
"Hey, Pan Pan!"
Li Jiajia's eyes suddenly lit up, and she saw her favorite Pan Pan, and there was an old man next to him, who was the latest rising star.
She hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to say hello.
Pan Pan was very cordial and chatted for a few words casually. Li Jiajia returned to her seat and still sighed: "She is cuter in person, with no airs at all, and Uncle Zheng is also kind."
"Not necessarily. What she lets you read is superficial. Who knows in private? It's just like setting up a character in the entertainment industry."
The roommate said nervously.
"No, what's the point of this?"
"Wow, Internet celebrities are also a type of celebrity. They are linked to commercial value. Do you know how much money Pan Pan can earn in a year?"
"have no idea!"
"At least tens of millions!"
Hiss!
Li Jiajia took a sip of YouTube, can Internet celebrities earn so much?
In fact, an annual income of tens of millions is considered low. After all, it is only 2015. In future generations, there will be many internet celebrities with net worths of over 100 million.
Those who buy goods in the live broadcast room are very confused. If you think about it with your toes, it used to be direct sales from the manufacturer, but now there are middlemen, how can it be cheaper???
After eating, Li Jiajia walked around and saw the venue of the party - the Beijing International Convention Center next door.
Yao Yuan originally wanted to hold the meeting at the National Convention Center, but he thought about it. The venue was too big, and it was used for a bunch of Internet celebrities. It was criticized by people, so he changed it here.
It's not a small place either, with a hall that can accommodate 2,300 people.
In the afternoon, Li Jiajia went back to her room and took a nap, preparing to attend the New Year's Eve party with great expectations. She thought she was just a small role. In fact, from the moment she posted the video in Maili, it was already on Yao Yuan's desk.
.
Yao Yuan’s YouTube strategy is still being worked on!
Pan Pan is very popular now, but she and Li Ziqi have two different styles and there is no conflict.
Letting the original people do the original work is what Yao Yuan has tried to maintain since his rebirth, except for some special projects or people he hates very much.
…………
"Lao Hu, I'm leaving!"
"Are you coming back tonight?"
"Nonsense, New Year's Eve is not a night out!"
"That's not necessarily true. Does Commander Yao like you?"
"Go away, Commander Yao, his wife is 10,000 times more beautiful than me. He will never do this to me even if he is thinking about the bitterness and sweetness."
In the evening, in a neighborhood in Beijing, a woman who looked like a low-end version of Sophie Marceau hurriedly got out of the rental house, took a taxi on the roadside, and went straight to the Beijing International Convention Center.
Her name is Jiang Yilei.
Graduated from the Directing Department of Shanghai People's Theater Academy.
As we all know, the success rate of the directing department is about one-tenth that of the acting department, not to mention she is a woman, and female directors have little status in the industry.
So after I graduated, I just started working as an assistant and as a cartoon director. I have tried a lot of things both on and off the stage. I am 28 years old this year, and I am still a confused young married woman.
The turning point came not long ago.
She made a "Shanghai dialect + English" joke video and posted it on Maili and Midou. As a result, it was recommended by the platform and received over a million likes, so she was able to attend the New Year's Eve party.
Her online name is Papi Jiang.
It was once the most popular Internet celebrity in China in a single year.
But it has become outdated in later generations, and it has caused a lot of controversy, probably because she flaunted herself as an independent woman in the video, but ended up giving birth to a child who took her husband's surname, so she was reviled by some people.
Later, I got divorced, started a company, and raised a lot of Internet celebrities. It was the big fish eating the small fish pattern again.
Yao Yuan is not interested in her personal story, but this person is very useful!
