You can't imagine the happiness of group performances 596 The first generation of old and American Internet celebrities, the first time to break out of the circle
596 The first generation of old and American Internet celebrities, the first time to break out of the circle
In a high school in Washington, the United States, when the school bell rang, the whole school boiled like a bombed fish pond.
In less than a second, countless young people poured out of each classroom door.
Everyone's face is basically filled with different yet unified joys.
Then everyone raced against time to leave the cage that restricted them for more than half a day to do what they wanted to do.
Among them, running at the front was a tall, cool-looking white boy named Kevin.
"Hey Kevin! Are you really not going on the weekend? The opportunity is rare.
"
As soon as Kevin walked out of the building, he was stopped by a Chinese female classmate who was chasing him. It sounded like she wanted Kevin to join the class's weekend activities, but Kevin obviously had no interest in it, and he didn't even look at his head.
He refused and said, "I won't go!"
"Oh, that.
All right."
The Chinese girl seemed to be frightened by this tough attitude, so she didn't say much.
On the other side, Kevin, who was running away, was thinking: Isn’t it just a giant panda? Isn’t it just an animal? Only children like to look at it, right?
Last December, a zoo in Washington welcomed two giant pandas from China, Mei Xiang and Tian Tian.
To be honest, giant pandas are indeed very cute. After arriving in Washington, there was a panda craze. Many people went to see them, and many photos were leaked online.
But this is not the first time giant pandas have come to the United States, so there is definitely no huge sensation.
And not everyone is interested in giant pandas.
Kevin is one of them. He feels that now that he is an adult, he needs to be cooler. Going to watch them is not as comfortable as watching Glyme Live at home.
After all, this time he came to America, and his idol Joey was one of the most popular.
Speaking of which, Kevin only really became a fan of Joey after the Sydney Olympics.
During the Sydney Olympics, almost the whole world was mocking the Chinese team because they sent a singer to compete. Everyone was also mocking Joey, thinking that he was going to be doomed.
As a result, Joey defeated the all-powerful dream team in front of the whole world, and the whole world was shocked by Joey.
The Dream Team was defeated, and various patriotic sentiments were aroused on the American and American side, but overall it was not very strong. On the contrary, everyone criticized the players for their lax attitude even more than Jiang Yan, and felt that the Dream Team was a gutter.
Overturned, I still look down on the Chinese team, but I have a lot of praise for Jiang Yan. After all, he has really proven himself through hell mode. He is an inspirational figure, just like "Rocky", the best in the United States.
Mouth.
Of course, most people don’t know how effective Warner and Jiang Yan’s money was behind this.
All in all, the Olympic Games really made Jiang Yan gain many European and American fans, including music and basketball enthusiast Kevin.
He thinks Joey is the coolest singer and the most awesome basketball player in the world.
So this time Glee Mee Jiang Yan has become one of the most popular, so Kevin naturally wants to watch it immediately.
Half an hour later, when Kevin got home, he turned on his computer as soon as possible, then opened the blog website and entered Joey's personal blog to see if there was any latest news.
The form of blogging has already appeared in the United States as early as the 1990s, and it is not a novelty.
However, there are really not many personal blogs at this time. Joey’s personal blog is one of the first in the entire Internet world, maybe even the first.
In short, the personal blog has been released, and Warner has also promoted it, which can be said to have sent a strong fresh energy to fans.
Joey's personal blog was created in early January this year. It is said that he received letters from fans, saying that Joey does not often travel to Europe and the United States, and his concert signings and other events are completely inferior to other stars. Fans want to meet him and get to know him.
There was no other way, but in order to take care of the fans' emotions, Joey created such a personal blog.
This is also one of the few links between European and American fans and Jiang Yan.
However, this bond allows fans to get to know Jiang Yan more closely.
Because Jiang Yan's blog is completely different from other public blogs. Others' blogs are very academic, but Jiang Yan's blog is very life-oriented. It doesn't talk about politics or comment on people casually.
His blog is not updated very frequently, maybe once a week, but the content is very interesting.
There are probably three pieces of content that fans like to watch the most.
Food, fitness and all kinds of jokes.
Regarding food, as a Chinese, it would be unreasonable not to promote the food.
And Chinese delicacies are like the sky full of stars, not too much, I can’t finish it.
At the same time, this is closely related to culture, so this piece of content has the effect of cultural output and laziness.
Of course, when promoting, Jiang Yan will not output mechanically, but will combine some life-oriented things.
For example, what kind of food was eaten during the break today? I would like to tell you the ins and outs of the food.
For example, if someone asked me a certain question today, I would like to mention it.
So many fans learned from Jiang Yan's article that it turned out that the Chinese food in the United States was not authentic, and even Joey himself didn't recognize it!
It turns out that there are so many Chinese dishes, and many of them have hundreds of thousands of years of history. It turns out that tachyon is not a symbol of backwardness. People have been using knives and forks since BC.
This kind of popular science content is much more acceptable when Jiang Yan shares his life stories.
At the beginning of February, the blog was upgraded and pictures could be uploaded, so the combination of pictures and texts increased the acceptance to a new level.
For example, Jiang Yan said that he was asked by so and so, "Do you Chinese all eat dog meat?"
When Jiang Yan talked about this, he put up a confused picture of "Xiong Ba". There were three question marks next to Xiong Ba's head with his head tilted, and he wrote: Master wants to eat me?
This kind of content in the form of emoticons makes a lot of fans like it very much, so the subsequent explanation about "eating dog meat" becomes more credible. So anyone who is a fan of Jiang Yan probably knows that eating dog meat is actually a legal practice in China.
It is also a minority.
At the same time, Xiongba has quietly become the fan favorite. After all, he is Jiang Yan’s pet.
Regarding the output of food, Jiang Yan has always maintained a lifestyle. In short, he is not radical and only comes here from time to time.
But for the second section, the fitness content is very professional.
The old American loves fitness, and Jiang Yan is physically strong, so it makes no sense not to become a sports blogger.
The content about sports is actually very easy to copy. Jiang Yan prepared a lot of various articles for later generations. Anyway, one article a day can be written ten years later.
Such fitness articles, coupled with Jiang Yan's top-notch figure that he shows off from time to time, have won over a group of die-hard fans, because Jiang Yan is not just talking about it, he is a real Olympic champion and the top athlete in the world.
Apart from the above two contents, the rest is just some jokes.
There are not a lot of these contents, but every time one appears, it will have a considerable effect in this era. After all, the Internet era has become very popular in the United States, but the content era has not yet begun.
The above three most popular contents also let old and American fans know what kind of person Joey is.
In short, in this era before the rise of personal media, Jiang Yan's fans' cohesion is stronger than that of many local celebrities.
Having said that, today, as usual, Kevin opened Jiang Yan's Weibo to see if there were any content updates.
There is currently a lot of discussion in the market about this Grammy Award. Some say Jiang Yan is not qualified, while others say he is.
Such discussions are normal. Jiang Yan must have understood this already, so will he post some of his thoughts on his blog?
It’s okay if you have no feelings. It’s okay to read other content. For example, what interesting stories will Joey share this week?
Thinking like this, Kevin clicked the mouse. After a while, the webpage refreshed and Kevin raised the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, it was updated!
At the beginning, Jiang Yan posted a photo of the cabin and wrote: Get ready to go.
Kevin smiled and nodded, silently shouting "Come on."
At the same time, I felt envious of Joey's private jet.
It’s great to have money!
Keep reading,
Jiang Yan then wrote: Sharing a very interesting thing, don’t be jealous of me!
This sentence is followed by a link.
Kevin clicked without thinking.
Soon, the page jumped to a new website.
After a while, the first thing that caught my eye after loading was a line of title: "Precious video of early human thighs being tamed."
Kevin was a little confused at the time.
what is this?
Human thighs, tamed?
Is this a bad sentence?
But he didn't think too much about it. After all, the video was a precious one. You would know it just by looking at it.
Kevin is actually not too surprised about watching videos online.
Because in this era, you can already watch videos online, but it’s just inconvenient.
But the way the video is presented this time is completely different from before.
It's a pity that Kevin is not an Internet practitioner, so he is not sensitive to this. Now he just wants to click on the video.
So he followed the instructions on the website and clicked on the triangle. Soon, a video that would impress countless tough men in later generations began to play.
The scene in the video should be a zoo-like place, with a staff member wearing a blue conservation suit carrying bundles of bamboo.
During the transportation process, a baby panda naughtily hugged the staff member's leg.
The panda baby's move directly made Kevin's heart melt a little.
So cute!
I felt like I was being hugged like this.
But the staff in the video obviously didn't like it.
Because this will affect his work.
So Kevin saw the staff member pick up the baby panda and put it on a high platform, while he continued to work.
But how could the baby panda give up? I saw it trying hard to climb down from the high platform. During the process, it accidentally fell and rolled, but it didn't care. It continued to twist its body and ran to the staff with all its strength, and then ran to the staff again.
It's hugging that thigh.
At this moment, Kevin's heart was hit hard again!
He had completely forgotten what he said at the beginning.
Why are giant pandas only for children?
No, I never said that!
The video continues, and the staff member is hugged again. This is naturally not possible because the work is not finished yet.
So he cruelly put the giant panda on a higher and farther platform again.
The giant panda is like a baby that cannot live without its father. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers in front of it, it will return to its father's arms.
So Kevin saw the giant panda fall three times this time, and then hugged the thigh again.
But the staff seemed to be hard-hearted and put the giant panda far away this time.
The giant panda continued its career of "asking for a hug". This time, it had to fall down five times before it could be hugged back to its lap.
Looking at the aggrieved panda baby, Kevin wanted to scold the staff: How can you bear it!
Fortunately, this time the staff's work was done, and he finally had time to play with the panda cub.
It was also at this time that Kevin discovered that after the staff member took off his mask, it was actually Joey!
Then, the short one-minute video ended.
At this moment, Kevin finally understood why Joey said not to be jealous.
But it's no use because I'm already jealous!
So I won’t watch Glyme!
I want to see giant pandas!
But before that, he had to watch other videos.
Because this time Joey released more than one.
Oh, by the way, I have to let my friends come and see it too.
I can't be the only one jealous, right?
Never underestimate the communication power of the Internet.
The previous success of "Blair Witch" is a good example.
The key is that high-quality content will never lack attention, especially in these barbaric times.
At this time in early 2001, the United States, as the country with the most developed Internet, had half of the households with Internet access in the country.
But even so, it will take several years for the video website to be officially launched, and even blogs have not formed a formal collective name in this era.
So looking around, how many websites on the global Internet currently support online video playback?
The answer is an unnamed video website prepared by Jiang Yan for his fans.
This was four years before YouTube.
Then the next answer is obvious. How many videos can be played online on the global Internet?
The answer is: eight.
That is, these eight videos uploaded by Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan uploaded 8 video links on his blog.
Due to technical limitations, each video is only about one minute, but it is completely enough.
Because the contents are basically the same, they are all cute animals from the Bashu Giant Panda Research Center.
There are pandas climbing up trees, some rolling and playing, and there are also five or six pandas chasing Jiang Yan for a hug. All in all, they are all adorable.
These videos can get high clicks and reposts on later video websites, attracting countless people to say they can’t stand it, let alone in this day and age.
The emergence of "big cute animals" on the Internet, along with the publicity of Jiang Yan's European and American fans, and the simple and convenient web video playback website, overnight, Joey and the giant panda became popular all over the United States and became
The first generation internet celebrity of Lao America.
Not only that, the full one-hour version of "Joey's Bashu Giant Panda Protection Experience" has also been broadcast in several mainstream media in Laos and Meizhou under the arrangement of Warner.
In the one-hour full version, in addition to the cute animals and the situations of Quentin and Enya, Jiang Yan will also use Jiang Yan's direct perspective to introduce to the audience the current progress and difficulties in the protection of giant pandas.
All in all, this is a conventional but very engaging documentary.
The combination of the Internet and traditional media, coupled with the recent increase in the popularity of Grameen.
This also caused Jiang Yan's popularity to reach its peak in the United States.
Everyone loved giant pandas, envied, envied and hated the Asian boy, and then called friends to come and watch. The phenomenon of human-to-human transmission expanded again.
At the same time, various media outlets owned by Warner also began to conduct aggressive reports.
As a result, countless people soon shouted "Mom, I want a giant panda", and at the same time, they also learned a lot of common sense knowledge that they should have known a long time ago.
What? "you"
are
The singer of "Beautiful" turns out to be Chinese?!
What? Joey also defeated the Dream Team?!
What? Joey can also sing?!
What.
Under the influence of the Internet information flow, countless people now know about Joey, a man of legend.
The specific manifestation is that the number of hits on Jiang Yan's personal blog has skyrocketed from about 30,000 per day in the past to 3 million in one day, and is even continuing to rise.
At the same time, several zoos with giant pandas, such as those in Washington and Atlanta, also began to experience super peak customer traffic on the second day.
This made the zoo very confused: This is out of season.
This grand occasion also attracted many other media.
So everyone followed the clues and realized that it all came from Joey!
So who is joey?
So the old American people started a new round of "What?! It turns out.
"
In addition to discussing the video itself and Joey himself, the emergence of "personal blogs" and "video websites" has also brought down many media in the technology circle.
In addition, Jiang Yan was also very popular in the basketball circle, so this time, Jiang Yan was able to break out of the basketball circle for the first time in the United States.
What is it like to be out of the circle?
Jiang Yan already has a say in this regard.
In short, almost all media will follow your traffic ship.
Follow the reports and you'll have food to eat, it's that simple.
The composition of this large flow ship is also relatively solid.
The popularity of Grammy, the popularity of two giant pandas coming to America in December 2000, the popularity of the extremely lethal video posted by Jiang Yan on the Internet.
In short, this kind of heat cannot go away every few days.
One more thing: Never underestimate the communication power of the Internet!
At the same time, I would also like to remind you: Never underestimate the power of capital!
Jiang Yan has become the first Internet celebrity, and with Warner's full support in the media, it can be said that becoming famous is not a problem at all, not to mention that he has already been famous, and what he is doing now is just to regain the popularity he has lost in the past two or three years.
And the actual effect is also very gratifying, because he really completed the heat rescue and even completed the crushing.
"The most enviable person in the world!"
A major newspaper posted a big headline on the front page.
The photo below shows Jiang Yan surrounded by six giant panda cubs, and Jiang Yan is smiling very happily.
At this moment, many singer teams who were nervously waiting for the opening of Grammy put down their newspapers with helpless expressions on their faces.
There are two hottest things in the United States these days. One is Grammy, which is about to start, and the other is the giant panda video that suddenly popped up.
These two things may seem unrelated, but because of Jiang Yan's presence, the popular singers in Grammy felt like they were facing a formidable enemy.
Joey is so hot just because he has a few giant pandas, which makes them feel like fools for running around and making announcements these days.
In an office of Universal Music, the manager of a certain singer complained to a manager of Universal Music: "How much money did Warner spend? Are you afraid that you won't be able to get back the money?"
However, the manager didn't say anything, but the singer said unconvinced: "What's the use of spending money? The singer has to let his strength speak for himself!"
As a result, after the Universal manager asked quietly, "Is Joey not strong?", the singer immediately went offline.
Joey is very strong, and the singer has nothing to say, but as a pop singer, his label is to be cool, so he smiled disdainfully, saying that he is strong, let him be strong, but I won't hang on him anyway!
But this also made the manager frown directly: "Joey is less popular. He is Chinese, which is his weakness. Now he is better. People all over the United States like him. My children all want to ask him for pandas, so you still
Can you laugh?"
The manager was angry because his job was at stake, so the singer finally became more honest: ".
So what should I do?"
"What to do? Go home and pray!"
singer:".
"
The manager shook his head. There were some things he didn't say but he knew in his heart. In fact, he felt that Joey would basically win this time.
Grameen is also about profitability.
When a pop singer can bring them huge benefits, the old guys at Grammy will naturally take care of him accordingly.
These factors actually contributed to the fact that Joey won the Best Newcomer Award last year because they focused on the Chinese market.
And this time, Joey has become popular inexplicably, and Joey's works and abilities in all aspects are indeed strong, so Gramercy will not just sit idly by.
From this point of view, the previous idea of not paying much attention to joey has become a thing of the past.
He feels that from now on, Joey can be classified as a "major threat".
On the other side, Jiang Yan, who had just gotten off the plane, also heard about what happened on this day.
Jiang Yan is actually not surprised by the fact that people became famous overnight due to Internet spread.
A few years later this happens almost every hour.
But other people naturally don't see it that way.
They felt that this was a bit too subversive.
This is unreasonable!
But no matter how unreasonable it is, it is acceptable as long as the result is good.
And the results seem to be better than expected.
Because Warner Henry said that Grameen had already revealed the news.
Jiang Yan's extremely high popularity has brought Grammy's attention to a higher level. This is a win-win situation, so Jiang Yan can basically come back with a full load this time.
Hearing this, Jiang Yan smiled slightly and nodded.
He was very satisfied with the result.
Of course, he is more satisfied with the results of his blog and video website.
Xiaotai Project Yan told him on the plane that he had already received capital, including five companies that were interested in video websites.
Obviously, although Jiang Yan said that this is just a website for fans, there is no shortage of knowledgeable people in the United States.
So it's that simple to make money.
As for how to make money, that's Xiang Yan's business.
As a time traveler, he had already planned how to clean himself while maintaining the best interests.
So this time, I really want to return home with a full load!
