A fist hit the desk hard, causing the laptop placed on it to jump. The screen fluctuated a few times and then stabilized. What was displayed on the screen was the popular list of Inspur Blog.
Gu Lei irritably picked up the mineral water placed on the tall cabinet and drank it all in one gulp. He stared at the screen and squeezed the empty plastic bottle in his hand, just like his mood at the moment.
In just a few hours, his popularity on Inspur Blog actually dropped three places in a row, falling off the homepage list.
The online world is vast, and there are countless messages transmitted through the Internet every day. As the largest online community platform in China, Inspur Blog can reflect current hot events to a large extent.
It is precisely because of this that the popularity list on the homepage of Inspur Blog is updated very frequently, because there are new things and even major events coming out every day, attracting tens of millions of netizens to comment, click, and forward.
It's just that no event can always remain fresh enough. A major event that is sensationalizing the world today may not be talked about by many people in two days because everyone is attracted by the new information.
Some time ago, Gu Lei worked hard to hype up the popularity, and finally got his wish and made it to the popular list on the homepage of Inspur Blog. Logically speaking, he should be satisfied after hanging out there for a few days. It is difficult for many celebrities to show their faces.
But Gu Lei was very unhappy and very dissatisfied!
"How did you do this? We didn't give you a penny less than we deserved, right? We agreed to stay on the home page for at least a week, but now it's been down after only three days. What do you think we should do?"
He sprayed all the depression and annoyance in his heart towards the two men sitting across from him, resisting the urge to hit them.
Gu Lei has always had a bad temper. When he first entered the film and television industry, he suffered a lot because of his bad temper and almost couldn't survive.
Later, I hit a wall and broke my head with blood. I finally came to my senses, so I restrained my nature and temper, kept my tail between my legs and was cautious. When it was time to be a grandson, I knelt down without hesitation. I finally managed to keep the clouds clear and see the moonlight.
After becoming famous, Gu Lei would occasionally act like a big name, but he didn't dare to go too far. After all, he had not reached the first-tier level, and big names were not easy to play with. If he offended someone he couldn't mess with, he might be beaten back to his original form overnight.
However, the recent scenery made his temper worse, and today he finally couldn't control himself and burst out.
Not taking action to hit someone is already the result of enduring it over and over again.
In fact, Gu Lei also had reasons to be angry. He and the contract company invested millions in hype, and hired a top marketing company in the industry for this purpose.
The person he just sprayed was the business representative and professional speculator of this Internet marketing company.
It may sound a bit unbelievable, but you have to spend millions to hype yourself up. In fact, in the industry, if you want to get hype, you have to spend money. It’s just that speculation can range from tens of thousands to tens of thousands, and hundreds of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Strategy.
Spreading out millions may seem like a lot, but in actuality it's quite normal. For example, if you want to hire promoters and gunmen, you have to spend a lot of money to get good results. You also have to bribe media reporters, and you have to stuff red envelopes generously.
The wonderful thing of becoming famous online without spending money might have been possible a few years ago, but now it is unthinkable.
Take several major portals as an example. If you want to include news in the entertainment section, you have to spend money to buy space. Being on the headlines is expensive. Writing a good soft article can cost tens of thousands.
Gu Lei's weakness is that his reputation is not loud enough and his popularity is not strong enough. If he wants to rely on hype to rise to the top, in addition to riding on the popularity of big names, he has to be willing to spend money to hype him up.
Gu Lei is not afraid of spending money. Anyway, the contract company has taken care of the whole situation. The money spent on the current hype will be earned back sooner or later with profits.
But he spent a lot of money, spent all his energy jumping up and down, and saw that his family was being hyped up more and more, and suddenly a large basin of cold water was poured down on him. How could he endure it?
I had just enjoyed the spotlight and everyone's attention, and I couldn't bear the public neglect.
And take a look at what’s at the top of the popular list of Inspur Blog, [The spring breeze is not as good as you], [Lu Chen’s love poems], [Filia Chen’s beautiful photos]… there’s even [Being fed dog food again].
Gu Lei felt like he was a fool!
Just a casual calculation, on today's Inspur blog popularity list, there are four or five articles related to Lu Chen.
And what did Lu Chen do?
Lu Chen just wrote a small poem with fifteen words and easily crushed him into scum!
It's really a fucking hell.
Gu Lei didn't want to admit how jealous he was of Lu Chen, and he didn't want to count on Lu Chen. He never thought about the advantages he got by riding on Lu Chen's popularity, he only felt that his fate was unfair.
"You must find a way to stir up the heat for me again!"
Regarding Gu Lei's tough request, the two people from the marketing company looked at each other.
In fact, they are quite helpless. Nowadays, speculating on hot topics can be regarded as a technical job. Rough and reckless methods are not enough. The intensity of the hype some time ago was already very high. If we increase the intensity, it will be too much.
The most important thing is that Inspur Blog has always strictly controlled Internet hype. Although there are unspoken rules that can be exploited, if the line is crossed, it will be very difficult to talk about.
The only one to blame is that Lu Chen is too perverted. His hundreds of millions of fans on Inspur Blog are simply terrifying. His influence is so great that almost no one can compete with it. He doesn't need to fight with Gu Lei at all, he just has to fight with Filia Chen.
Play a literary and artistic interaction and knock all competitors into the dust.
Compared with the calm Lu Chen, Gu Lei is like a clown dancing on the street!
Make a decision.
The marketing company originally had a complete preparation plan to deal with Lu Chen's possible reaction, either counterattack or silence, and had corresponding countermeasures. However, they did not expect that Lu Chen's response method was so special.
That means you play with yours and I play with mine. Have you ever played with me?
It’s really hard to play!
The people in the marketing company are also helpless. They cannot go against the wishes of the sponsor, otherwise how can they make money?
The sales representative coughed, patted his chest and said to Gu Lei: "Mr. Gu, please rest assured that our company will go all out to complete the goal and help you get back on the popularity list."
Gu Lei stared at him: "This is what you said..."
bite!
At this moment, a clear and pleasant sound came from the laptop.
The opened blog page showed that Gu Lei's account had just received a new push message.
Gu Lei couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and suddenly felt something bad. He quickly opened the message with the mouse.
The message prompted that the account he followed had just published a new blog post.
And this account is Lu Chen!——
Note: The poem "The spring water is first born, the spring forest is blooming, the spring breeze is not as good as you" is from Feng Tang's "Spring".
