391 The era of Internet blogs is coming (for the leader YDUHU
On December 30, 2003, another superstar in Xiangjiang died.
Cao Xuan, who had collaborated on stage at the music festival this year, took a day off from the crew and went to Xiangjiang to pay his respects in person to express his condolences.
At the same time, because of this incident, Cao Xuan’s original announcement of joining Penguin Blog and QQ Space on January 1 was postponed for a month.
After all, as soon as the family there left, he was "playing" frequently on the Internet, which was really not very good-looking.
Not to mention that Cao Xuan himself feels inappropriate, the media and netizens may also find trouble and carry out moral kidnapping.
There are many idle bullies in the world.
Although the relationship between Cao Xuan and that person is not particularly familiar, in the eyes of the outside world, they must be good friends as they share the same stage, and there will naturally be a certain degree of moral supervision.
In other words, the media from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places are now staring at the entertainment industry with a magnifying glass, especially those in Hong Kong.
This person has a lot of friends, is loyal and popular, and likes to care for the new generation. Many people in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong are admired and supported by her, so the media has changed their ways to cause trouble.
There will be all kinds of news about people who didn't go to worship, people who had problems with their appearance, and people who didn't look sad at all on the surface.
Many people may be sad and sad about the departure of Fanghua, but some people will regard it as a public carnival.
This may be the sadness of an artist who is in the vanity fair and doesn’t stop after leaving...
Apart from paying homage, Cao Xuan spent the rest of his time filming "Xiu Chun Knife" and occasionally went to rehearsals for the Spring Festival Gala program, deliberately keeping a low profile.
After all, in addition to Cao Xuan, there is also Zhao Wenzhuo in the cast of "Embroidered Spring Knife", whose identity is more sensitive. In the past two days, many media came to interview, but they were all rejected because they were busy with filming.
However, the location of the "Embroidered Spring Knife" crew, Penguin and Fanxing's other artists have no connection with that person, so naturally they don't need to worry so much.
On January 1, 2004, the blog and QQ space were launched according to the original plan, and at the same time, a large number of celebrities were officially announced to join.
Hu Jing, Gao Yuanyuan, Fan Xiaopang, Dong Xuan, Liu Tianxian and other star artists, as well as some celebrity friends attracted by Cao Xuan, Zhou Gongzi, International Zhang, Yu Quan, Xiao Zhou, Li Bingbing, Xu Qing, Xia Yu, etc.
people.
According to the original plan, there were actually Liu Tianwang, Wang Fei, Chen Yixun and other Xiangjiang artists who settled in together. Now Cao Xuan has said hello and will wait until the limelight passes before settling in.
Although Cao Xuan and Xiangjiang celebrities are not here, Cao Tianwang's connections are not limited.
Among the first batch of stars announced by Penguin Blog, there are more than 60 famous ones, including several Asian, European and American stars.
Of course, many of the accounts are friendly accounts. People don’t necessarily use this Penguin blog, but they just lend their names to Cao Xuan to help build their reputation.
But even so, it is still very powerful. If the current Penguin came forward, there would be no way to create such a big battle, and the celebrities might also charge some fees.
After all, you have no relatives or friends, and Penguins are not the Big Macs they were later, so why should they help you become famous?
But with Cao Xuan, it's different. Fanxing artists don't need to say much. They are family members and close friends. Even those who are not familiar with him are willing to sell face.
The result was that dozens of celebrities appeared together, instantly making Penguin Blog famous.
In today's Internet, blogs are actually not a new thing. Although the major portals have not yet come to an end, there are several similar websites.
The most famous one is Blog China, which originally had a mediocre number of daily users. Until this year, due to a certain Zimei incident, it broke out of the circle and became famous.
However, no matter how popular blogging is in China, it cannot be compared to QQ. In terms of the number of users on the entire Internet, QQ is definitely the first echelon.
Starting from January 1st, the page after Penguin login will have two large buttons and symbol cursors, a blog and a QQ space, which can be entered directly with one click, which is extremely convenient.
Then various QQ pop-up windows try to trick you into opening your account. This level of traffic diversion is absolutely terrifying.
In just one day, Penguin Blog registered more than 5 million new accounts and had more than 1 million daily active users, and related data is still rising rapidly.
There are many celebrities outside to expand their influence together, and inside there is QQ to attract traffic like crazy.
In less than a week, Penguin Blog has surpassed Blog China and become the most popular blogging software.
………
Beijing, an old small courtyard house
Hu Jing, with half-short hair and no make-up, was carrying a ladder to connect the phone line angrily. The old lady beside her was banging on the ground with a cane and yelling angrily.
"Xiao Ma, how dare you, oh, you're so mad at me."
"Card."
A middle-aged woman wearing a down jacket came out of the monitor nearby. It was Ma Liwen, the director of the "Two of Us" crew. She walked around the yard.
"The location is wrong, the screen is divided badly, why don't you go up the ladder and just try to stop the noise."
"OK."
Hu Jing jumped off the ladder and walked downstairs with the old lady, and then the old lady started to "quarrel" with her.
After shooting back and forth for more than an hour and a half, Ma Liwen finally nodded, and it was time for dinner.
Producer and starring Hu Jing is no exception to the unified box lunch, but she often prepares other "snacks", and her friends Jin Yaqin and Ma Liwen can also join in the toothpaste.
The scenes and characters in "The Two of Us" are extremely simple. More than 80% of the scenes are the scenes between the old lady and "Xiao Ma" played by Hu Jing in this dilapidated courtyard house.
Therefore, the people Hu Jing interacted with most frequently on the set were the old lady and director Ma Liwen.
As for this courtyard house, it does not belong to Cao Xuan.
When the movie was being selected, Hu Jing took Ma Liwen to visit more than a dozen courtyard houses with a bunch of keys and the real estate company, which really made Ma Liwen go from surprised to numb.
But it is a pity that none of these dozen courtyard houses are suitable. The reason is very simple. The courtyard houses that Cao Xuan bought are all in good locations and large areas. Even if they have not been renovated, they are all good houses with complete specifications.
What the movie needed was an old and cramped courtyard house. The old lady only had a small hall and bedroom, and built a kitchen-sized hut in the yard to rent to the heroine.
Therefore, Caoxuan's courtyard houses, which are at least two entrances, obviously do not meet the requirements.
Hu Jing showed off her wealth with the director, but failed to pick the last one and had to buy two small courtyard houses in Dongcheng.
A dilapidated local scene, and a renovation with a similar layout to match the plot.
As for why I didn’t rent it, the reason is that Mrs. Hu liked the movie very much, so she bought the yard with her own money and planned to keep the scene as a souvenir.
Ma Liwen: "..."
I don't know why, even though she is in the 92nd grade of Chinese drama, she really wants to call Hu Jing "senior sister".
In fact, it wouldn't be wrong if she really screamed. Hu Jing really gave too much support to the movie "The Two of Us".
In fact, at first, Ma Liwen didn't want Hu Jing to play Xiao Ma. The character was based on herself. She wanted to find a pretty girl with a bit of wild girl energy.
Hu Jing is too beautiful, and she is a little older, coupled with her fame and temperament, she is more or less in trouble.
But for the sake of investment, she still compromised, but unexpectedly Hu Jing gave her a surprise.
On the first day she joined the group, Hu Jing cut her short, semi-length hair and showed off her face without makeup. She has a baby face to begin with, and her face has enough collagen, so dressing up as a girl is not inappropriate at all.
Her temperament is no longer like that of a glamorous big star, but also a hot-tempered and reckless girl.
They are completely different from the little kid in "Love Through Time" and the crayfish in "The Difficult Princess", and they don't make people laugh at all.
Putting aside the actor's role compatibility, as a four-star actress and producer, Hu Jing has great respect for her as a new director.
This is Ma Liwen's second film, and it was based on her own personal experience. Not only was the shooting speed extremely slow, but the time span was also large.
After the winter filming is completed, there are still scenes in the summer. Adding up the scattered scenes, the cycle may exceed half a year.
Not to mention top-notch stars like Hu Jing, ordinary starlets can't bear to be filmed like this. Just big-budget commercial films, this kind of low-cost artistic film can't afford it at all.
However, Hu Jing didn't say anything. She would film whatever the director asked her to do and how long it would take.
Not only did he comply as an actor, but he also acted as a producer. He was very supportive of Ma Liwen. Not only did he respond to every request, but it was not much different.
With this kind of support, if Hu Jing hadn't been several years old, she would have been so embarrassed that Ma Liwen would have wanted to call her sister...
"Director, try it, chocolate tiramisu."
Hu Jing took out the lunch box she brought from home and greeted Ma Liwen. She was not polite. She took a few bites and her eyes lit up.
"It's pretty good. Is this home-made?"
"How do you know?"
"The ones sold outside are a little sweeter, but this one has obviously reduced the sweetness, and the chocolate and cream are both top-grade, and ordinary cake shops won't be willing to use them."
"Expert."
"I have an ex-boyfriend who works as a pastry shop. What do you do to these people?"
"How can I do this? Others did it."
Hu Jing fiddled with the camera in her hand and took a few photos of the cakes and lunch boxes. After finishing the meal, she asked for the computer from her assistant Liu Rui and started playing with it.
Old Mrs. Jin Yaqin was curious and came over to take a look: "Xiao Hu, what are you looking at?"
"Blog, something just came out."
Hu Jing didn't know how to explain it to the old lady, so she turned the computer screen around. On it was the photo she had just taken, with the text -
[Lunch for the crew: Shredded potatoes + stir-fried pork with bean sprouts + rice, treat yourself to another tiramisu, and do two more sets of yoga in the evening to prevent gaining weight (happy) (呲呲)]
"It's probably equivalent to writing a diary online, but this diary can be seen by many people, so you can share your life."
Although the old lady is ignorant, she still knows how to write a diary.
Although she didn't say a serious word about someone writing a diary, she was obviously not very interested in it. After taking a quick look, she went out to talk to other people, while Hu Jing and Liu Rui were lying in front of the computer to read the news.
【Liu Huohua(V)】:Sofa
[Eunuch Liu of the Jiaofang Division]: There are fools on the second floor
[Schrödinger’s Cat]: Is this Hu Jing in person?
[Mingyue Paints the Heart of the River]: It must be a real person. Have you seen the yellow V number on the homepage? It’s an officially certified star.
【芃贴】: Shredded potatoes, lunch turned out to be the same as mine
[Poor Ghost]: Ah ah, it’s Hu Jing, I like you so much
[Wind Horse]: Kill the Cao thief and rob Hu Jing
[Pang Yidian]: Why don’t you add V to me? This is a naked retaliation from Mr. Cao
[Never add fatter]: Who the hell are you upstairs? You have to make a few crooked comments in every comment.
[Master Zhou (V)]: The cake is good, where can I buy it?

[Little Gardener in Chinese Opera]: @梅丁, if you want to eat, come home and I’ll cook it for you.
[International Chapter (V)]: Jingjing, I’m here, we are related to each other
…
After this group of celebrities joined Penguin Blog, although some of them lost their accounts after just saying hello, there were also some who played seriously.
For example, Hu Jing and Fanxing Artists, Cao Xuan even issued a task to blog at least three times a week.
Whether you are sad about spring and autumn or sharing your life, as long as it does not involve sensitive content, you can write it. In short, you must be active and use your own influence to drive the atmosphere inside Penguin Blog.
At Cao Xuan's request, in the past two days, Fanxing artists will write short compositions, and those with average writing skills will post them on "Moments".
Originally, everyone was coping with the task, but every time they received feedback from many netizens, the desire to talk and the satisfaction of receiving a lot of attention made the artists more and more addicted.
Later, without any prompting from the company, Fanxing artists automatically and diligently updated their blogs.
Driven by them, many other celebrities also started to play and interact publicly on blogs every day, which was a great pleasure.
If the media is happy, they can take screenshots and use them as news material.
People and fans are happy because they can get a close glimpse into the private lives of celebrities.
Celebrities are also happy. On the one hand, blogs satisfy their desire to express themselves, and on the other hand, they can directly communicate with netizens face-to-face and promote themselves.
Cao Xuan and Xiao Ma are even happier. Penguin Blog and QQ Space have greatly improved user activity and stickiness. In addition to chatting, they also added a log community, which also enriched the social attributes of QQ and became another powerful tool launched by QQ.
Brother Xiao Ma is even thinking about getting a gold diamond or crown for the blog, and some personalized virtual props to make money...
Hu Jing is an artist who is quite addicted to blogs. She posts an average of one blog every day these days to share her work and life, and she even has a camera specially equipped to accompany her photos.
It was also under her leadership that artists who originally only worked with words also began to develop graphic and text campaigns.
Stable and frequent updates, coupled with the reputation of the Four Little Girls and Penguin's preference for star artists, made Hu Jing quickly become a celebrity on Penguin Blog. The number of followers exceeded 800,000, ranking first in the fan rankings.
Of course, Penguin Blog actually pays some attention to the number of fans in order to make the data look good.
But if you squeeze out the water, the number of real users who follow Hu Jing is estimated to be less than 500,000, which shows her current popularity and influence.
Hu Jing has nothing to do these days. She just likes to browse blogs, read comments, and take a look at the number of fans of other people over the past few years.
International Chapter: 320,000
Mr. Zhou: 550,000
Li Bingbing: 410,000
Jia Jingwen: 600,000
A certain Chinese opera teacher:112
Then looking at the number of fans that she has reached 1 million, the empress of the East Palace feels happy immediately.
However, Hu Jing is not the most popular celebrity on the blog. The most popular celebrity is Xiao Zhou, who is also the first celebrity with more than 1 million fans on Penguin Blog.
This is not surprising, he is already popular, and his popularity is currently second only to Cao Xuan in the Chinese music scene.
Also catching up with some time ago, the Spring Festival Gala solicited online votes for support for Xiao Zhou's Spring Festival Gala, and easily won more than 2 million support votes.
Because of this incident, the cohesiveness of Xiao Zhou's fans is unprecedentedly high, and because Xiao Zhou is in Taiwan, it is inconvenient for the two parties to contact each other.
So, this time when Xiao Zhou’s blog was launched, the fans rushed to it, and with the penguin’s water content, it reached the first million mark.
The second person to have over 1 million fans was not a celebrity, but Yao Yao who played in the United States.
This was invited by Cao Xuan. I posted a few training pictures and talked about interesting things in the NBA. I don’t know how many basketball fans were attracted to the blog.
So far, only these two have exceeded 1 million fans, and other celebrities are working hard.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Tianxian, a newcomer who just debuted, has attracted much attention because of his role as Wang Yuyan in "Dragon".
Although the blog is not posting frequently, the attention is constantly increasing. In just a few days, it is close to 500,000. Not to mention being the best among newcomers, it is also close to the first place among the entire celebrity group.
Echelon.
Another one is Fan Xiaopang. "Mobile Phone" was in theaters, so she followed the road show and posted blogs like crazy, averaging at least three posts a day.
The original intention was to cooperate with the company's instructions and just promote "Mobile" by the way. Unexpectedly, the diligent updates and high exposure rate made her fan base soar.
Another victory for King Juan...
As of now, Fan Xiaopang’s fan base is almost on par with Hu Jing’s, or even slightly higher.
Cao Xuan has already said hello to Penguin. The number of fans is almost the same, making Fan Xiaopang the first female artist to have more than 1 million fans, and then she was dubbed the "Blog Queen" to build momentum.
Starting from "Mobile Phone", to next year's "Beauty's Scheming" and "Xiu Chun Dao 2" which is likely to be launched, and now the blog queen.
Starting from next year, Fanxing will strive to promote Fan Xiaopang and launch a new first sister of Fanxing within two years.
Cao Xuan even planned to go back and say hello to Hua Yi, and the two sides joined forces to add a [Double Soldier] behind [Four Dans].
Hu Jing knew about this and was already ready to give up to the first sister Fanxing. She also had no intention of competing with Fan Xiaopang.
She just kept an eye on the other outside actresses involved in the scandal between the Four Little Girls and Cao Xuan. As long as the number of fans could keep them down, she would be satisfied.
Not to mention the Empress of the West Palace, she has not even opened a large account so far, she has only opened a small account to watch the fun.
If it weren't for the students in the class following her and Penguin's robot account, I'm afraid she wouldn't have even double digits of fans.
Not to mention Hu Jing and Fan Xiaopang, not even Liu Rui is as good as Liu Rui. The latter keeps up with Hu Jing's popularity every day and occasionally posts photos or highlights of Hu Jing's daily work. Her number of fans is less than 10,000.
The two of them would blog every day when they were not filming. Later, under their guidance, Ma Liwen and the crew also started a blog. Hu Jing even helped Ma Liwen get a pornographic certification.
This thing is not easy to do on Penguin Blog at the moment, except to say hello in advance.
If you want to open it, you must be a public figure with a certain influence, provide evidence to prove your true identity, and have Huang V's friends as a guarantee.
After all, it is a new thing, and penguins are also crossing the river by feeling the stones. In order to prevent mistakes, be cautious first.
As a result, Huang V is very rare in blogs. If he can get a certification, he can easily attract tens of thousands of fans even if he doesn't say anything.
………
Before the Spring Festival, blogging became the hottest topic on the Internet at the beginning of 2004, and even went offline to a certain extent.
Even celebrities who were not invited by Cao Xuan originally chose to join the blog because of its popularity.
Including the last of the Four Little Flower Girls, Xu Cainnu, who was robbed of the blog queen, Feng Xiaogang, who was able to speak out because Fan Xiaopang saw it, Han Han, the most popular post-80s writer, as well as Tianya, Under the Banyan Tree, Long Kong, etc.
Writers and public intellectuals…
However, it is a pity that some people may not get much support on Penguin Blog, and related sensitive topics will be immediately banned or even blocked.
This may make many people feel "chilled" and leave, but Cao Xuan would rather they go to other platforms, or even another blog platform to compete, rather than turning Penguin Blog into a cesspool.
Of course, considering the current network environment, this standard will not be very high.
Unless it is the kind of outrageous and extremely anti-intellectual speech, Penguin Blog will not deal with it easily.
Cao Xuan himself also officially joined the blog after the filming of "Xiu Chun Dao" was completed in late January.
The first blog post consisted of pictures and text. The photo was a selfie of him sitting on a sofa in a lounge. The slogan of the Spring Festival Gala program was written on the wall. Next to him were Zhao Benshan and several Spring Festival Gala regulars.
[It’s the Spring Festival again, and I met all the familiar teachers again backstage at the Spring Festival Gala. Everyone, see you on New Year’s Eve (happy)]
This blog, together with the official notice of Cao Xuan’s arrival, was pushed to countless users by Penguin, instantly attracting a large number of netizens to watch.
【Liu Huohua(V)】:Sofa
[Do you have a boyfriend]: Finally, you’ve waited for the boss. When will you release a song?
[Eunuch Liu of the Jiaofang Division]: There are fools on the third floor
[The Love of the Ancient Sword]: Looking forward to the performance of the Spring Festival Gala, I took the whole family to watch it together
[Ran Deng]: Is it still a new song?
[Film Checking Inspector]: Is there anyone who wants a disc? I’ll look for it in Zhongguancun...
[Gu Yuan the Great Demon King]: Ahhhh, Xuanzi, I like you so much
[Pang Yidian]: Cao thief, bah
[Xiao Zhou (V)]: Ouch, not bad, welcome Brother Xuan

…
Cao Xuan’s own huge popularity and appeal, coupled with Penguin’s official promotion, and the traffic generated by major celebrities coming to say hello after settling in.
In less than 17 hours, Cao Xuan's blog fans exceeded 1 million.
Breaking the record for the fastest Penguin Blog to reach 1 million fans.
Prior to this, Wang Fei, who joined the blog a week earlier than Cao Xuan, took advantage of the increasing user base of Penguin Blog and spent nearly 70 hours breaking Xiao Zhou's record.
As a result, in less than two days, this record was refreshed by Cao Xuan and improved significantly.
In the future, unless the user base of the blog increases to a certain range and super-popular celebrities or public figures who are officially promoted by the blog join the blog, it will be difficult to break Cao Xuan's record.
Not to mention setting a new record, Cao Xuan's number of fans is still rising. If nothing happens, he will be the account with the largest number of fans on the blog for at least two weeks.
Although Cao Xuan is not particularly active on the blog, he does show his face from time to time.
This greatly satisfied his fans. In the past, Cao Xuan rarely gave interviews or participated in variety shows unless necessary for publicity, so he seemed a bit aloof and distant from his fans.
But now that there is a blog, fans can learn about Cao Xuan's daily work routine for the first time, and sometimes even get replies, which makes them feel full of happiness.
Not only Cao Xuan, but also other celebrity fans, which greatly integrates the cohesion and loyalty of their respective fans.
Celebrities who are active in blogging also see tricks from them. Even if they don't know how to do it themselves, their agents and assistants will help.
As of the end of January, one month after its launch, Penguin Blog had more than 20 million registered users, and the number of officially certified celebrities and public figures approached four figures, making it the most popular social virtual community on the Internet.
Baidu and major portals are jealous with envy, but Penguin’s early advantage is too great, and they are not confident in getting a share of the pie.
Except for the two tentative online projects of Sina and Sohu, several other companies gave up directly.
As for the original Blog China, it is no exaggeration to say that the number of active users has decreased by 70%. If it were not for the old users who are nostalgic, it would basically be a dead site.
