Chapter 1058 The Chinese promote the American Dream 2
There are many talk shows in the United States, such as The Ellen Show, The Jimmy Show, The Corden Show, which have a large audience. Millions of viewers watch each episode, and they are usually broadcast late at night on cable stations.
Playing it late at night means it's very big.
There is also one imitated in China, called Jin Xing Show, which is also very large in scale, but it does not refer to pornographic scale, but because Teacher Jin Xing has such a bold mouth.
New York, "Conan Show" recording scene.
The host is Conan O'Brien, who is one of the top TV hosts in the United States. Later, the ratings of similar programs all declined, and they all turned to streaming media to make programs.
There is an interesting story about this person: when "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" was released in the United States, Conan dubbed one of the episodes, and the dubbing was Qianlong. He did not follow the script at all, and the dubbing was done by Jiebao.
He will interview two guests today.
One is a Hispanic little girl who is not yet 18 years old. She has studied dance for 10 years and is young and beautiful. Because she posted videos on TikTok, she quickly gained the favor of netizens and even received an advertisement.
The other is a black guy who is a rap artist. He posted an original song on TikTok (actually Vanessa paid for it) and he became famous overnight.
Both of them have over one million fans, and they are truly internet celebrities.
During the recording, they talked about their difficult family environment, tragic growth experiences, persistence in their dreams, and persistence in the things they love...
To outsiders, this is an example of a grassroots counterattack.
"My mother wanted me to be a repairman. I couldn't communicate with her, but I didn't want to make her sad, so I could only hide in a dilapidated warehouse and secretly make my music.
Then I put it on TikTok and set it up for free use."
"What does it mean?"
"The creator has a music, film and television material library, which is free to use. Everyone can use my songs as background music to create their works.
I didn’t have much hope at first, until I saw hundreds of people using my song, wow, this is amazing! I like this feeling, it seems like many, many people are with me.”
The black guy spoke passionately about his experience of becoming famous, and Conan deliberately asked a very private question: income.
“Americans don’t talk about this!”
"But viewers want to know...$1,000?"
The black guy smiled but didn't answer.
"Is it 2000?"
"5000?"
"10000?"
Conan's eyes widened and he exaggerated: "Brother, do you know how much my appearance fee is... Isn't it more than 10,000?"
"Please, don't ask!"
The black guy begged for mercy and made another joke, saying: "Only the IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) knows my income."
Vanessa is indeed a capable woman.
She quickly sorted out TikTok's business and promoted several Internet celebrities as quickly as possible. She used many methods, such as buying songs for black guys.
It is true that a black guy may become famous for a while and then disappear.
But she has no worries. Like Yao Yuan, she regards both creators and users as leeks, but on the surface, they also have to add a high-sounding name.
While creating Internet celebrities, TikTok has launched a creator incentive plan: rewards will be given based on the quality of the work, traffic, etc. - the same as the domestic one.
But at the beginning, the standards were definitely lower. As long as you post your work and get traffic, you will be given even a 1 cent reward... This attracted young people to come in droves, and TikTok's registered users surged again, and it was finally completed.
Yao Yuan's goal.
And this series of combination punches made the American colleagues stunned again and again.
…………
Facebook headquarters.
Zuckerberg convened an emergency meeting.
At this time, his face had transformed a bit into that of a robot. He was probably taking the "elixir" produced by the biomedical company he invested in. His face was already long and stiff, which made it look very weird.
In the past few years, Zuckerberg wanted to enter the mainland market. He put on various shows and participated in the first Internet Conference, leaving a calligraphy treasure "China" in Gubei Water Town.
Yao Yuanke is keeping this calligraphy.
But after realizing that it was hopeless to enter the mainland, he had already given up, but he had not yet attacked China like later generations did, and it was not yet time.
"It `s my mistake!"
Zuckerberg first admitted his mistake, saying: "I misjudged TikTok, and I underestimated that guy. In fact, we had many exchanges, and I shouldn't have made such a mistake.
TikTok is different from any short video in the United States. It is very unexpected and it is robbing our young users.
Although we have not yet had a head-on conflict, I am sure that when tiktok introduces an advertising mechanism, it will become a powerful opponent for us..."
Unlike in history, tiktok did not have a dormant period, and it started to exert its force immediately, attracting widespread attention.
At this time, Zuckerberg didn't want to lose money, and planned to go head-to-head. After some research, he decided to take a two-pronged approach: while continuing to discuss the acquisition of Musical.ly, he would also develop his own short video products.
The meeting is over.
Zuckerberg returned to his office. Around the afternoon, a sudden and intensive number of phone calls fell from the sky, and the email message reminder on his laptop also jumped crazily.
"Is the end of the world coming?"
He answered someone inexplicably and asked a few questions, his long face like Chang Yuan suddenly darkened.
"This damn thing!"
Didn't Yao Yuan Consulting say before that during last year's US election, Facebook was exposed to have a lot of fake news and that it was being investigated?
Just now, the investigation results came out, and they were revealed by one of my own people.
Stamos, chief security officer of Facebook, published a report on his blog, saying that a company from Russia spent US$100,000 to establish about 470 fake accounts and homepages on Facebook, published at least 3,000 independent advertisements, and spread various
Seemingly unrelated topics, from immigration policy, racial issues to homosexuality, gun rights, etc...
The number of ads may seem small, but the potential impact can reach millions of people. The content may influence users and then influence their votes for the president.
The key point is that this was done by a Russian company, and it went directly in the direction of "Russia manipulated the US election"!
The result is: Facebook, Twitter, and Google all have similar content and need to undergo hearings. The Democratic Party will not let go of this good opportunity and splash dirty water on Wang. Even those who understand Wang are called "colluding with Russia."
.
This is the famous "Russia Gate"!
…
"Magic!"
When Yao Yuan learned the news, on the one hand he was happy that Facebook was being held back, but on the other hand he was deeply moved. Look at the world today:
Silicon Valley and the king of understanding are in "collusion with Russia";
And I, a Chinese, am building the American dream?
It can only be described as magical realism.
Yao Yuan stayed in the United States for a long time. It was not until he confirmed that Facebook would not be able to escape in the short term that he returned to China. Firstly, he acquired Musical.ly, and secondly...
