Episode 32 Boss Cao, a rookie in the live broadcast industry
As time goes by, the domestic situation has gradually improved, and some urban areas have begun to resume work on a small scale. However, abroad it is still a mess.
Boss Cao has lost most of his work, and it is not very safe outside, so he can only stay at home.
Nowadays, he is the only one who has the most leisure time in the family. Although Hu Jing does not go to work, she still controls some company meetings and work remotely from home. Teacher Zeng and her two children also have to take online classes, but one is teaching and the other is attending class.
Even Sun Lan and Cao Shuangguo have square dancing video lessons and training, or they play chess and chat with their old buddies online.
Only Boss Cao has nothing serious to do. He is tired of chatting with his friends, tired of watching movies and TV shows, and even the five major football leagues have announced suspensions one after another. He is bored and crazy at home every day.
So much so that Boss Cao simply watched his son and daughter take online classes and tutored his son with his homework part-time.
My daughter has good grades and has started to study some junior high school courses, as well as advanced homework such as Mathematical Olympiad. Cao Xuan does not have the tutoring ability.
My son, Cao Yang, has no problem. Mathematics is a bit more difficult, but at least he has no problem with English and liberal arts.
However, after half a day, he would rather spend the day in the gym than help with homework. He was afraid that he would not be able to bear it and break the precept of spanking his children.
"I just have too much free time at home and I want to find something to do to distract myself."
Su Dongpo's family has a big business and doesn't care about those nuts, melons and dates, nor does it matter if they are popular artists, but it is a good income for many young actors and ordinary artists.
Just like a crosstalk actor performing or a singer singing, the essence is to entertain the public, give people a pleasant mental relaxation, make the audience satisfied, and reward them, which is not an excessive thing.
The copybook was very complicated, with only a few dozen words, and ordinary people couldn't tell the level of calligraphy. Cao Xuan didn't point at anyone to praise it, he just stayed a few seconds longer on the promotion and multiple seals.
No matter how much it’s worth, I’m not selling it anyway…
The number of fans is just a virtual term.
What should really be resisted is this kind of trick reward and these messy anchors who attract people's attention. Don't wear colored glasses towards normal anchors, and don't stop eating because of choking.
Now that I stay at home every day, my mood is inevitably depressed. When the basic entertainment is no longer satisfied, I need to do something else. No matter what it is, it is better than being idle and bored.

Of course, only Cao Xuan can say this. Compared to his nearly 100 million fans on Weibo, Douyin’s fans are indeed not that many.
Cao Xuan doesn't make this kind of money, but he can't make any high-profile remarks and mess up other people's business.
"Don't give me gifts."
Cao Xuan: "...It's an idea, but I'm not very good at it, so I'll study it."
First I started a live broadcast on Weibo, and a lot of people came, but the screen was stuck, I couldn't hear much, and the various operations were a bit complicated, so I simply turned off the live broadcast and went to Douyin again.
Cao Xuan joined Douyin for a short period of time, about half a year, and rarely showed up. There were also promotions or official events, so the number of fans was not very large, just over 50 million.
Shen Wei quickly said: "We are just chatting, there is no need to pay for gifts, and it is not easy to make money."
Cao Xuan saw a barrage urging him to visit his study, so he picked up his mobile phone and took photos around the room to introduce it.
But there is no need to introduce the following ones one by one. Cao Xuan just took a picture of the study room where he was.
Many Weibo users even made fun of the lag in Weibo's live broadcast function, causing Cao Xuan to abandon it and go to Douyin.
However, this topic has not been listed in the Weibo hot search, and it seems to be suppressed.
At present, the price of dried huanghuali wood is about 4,000 to 5,000 per pound. Shen Wei’s furniture is large and light, so the estimate is not high.
More than ten million.
Cao Xuan has settled the matter of gifts.
Cao Xuan: "I don't recommend doing that. It's harmful to the child's physical and mental health. The key is that the child's mother won't let it.
Shen Wei: "I'm tired of spending at least a few hours in the gym a day.
Then dial
I got the call from the person in charge of Douyin, got up and walked to the corner, and vaguely heard the end of the live broadcast:
Hello, Zhang Er
Of course, if Cao Xuan really wanted to find a job, he could get him any job.
Even in addition to Douyin, Shen Weikai's live broadcast has also been trending on Weibo, Bilibili, Zhihu and other platforms.
The Empress of the West Palace saw the key to Cao Xuan's impatience. Although he had rested for a long time in the past, he could go out and live a colorful life.
Many people who practice calligraphy still like to post some of their works. At least Cao Xuan has not practiced calligraphy to the point where he cannot be unfazed by honor or disgrace.
"Everyone, wait a moment. I'll turn off the function of buying gifts first.
"Don't call me father-in-law. If you do, the administrator will kick you. Instead, call me father-in-law and in-laws. My son is very handsome. He also likes to play football and is in great shape."
The world is finally peaceful!
While Shen Wei was still studying the operation of the live broadcast room, people started to enter the live broadcast room like crazy.
Cao Xuan: "I've finished watching it too. I've finished catching up on last year's and this year's hit dramas. I'm currently catching up on "The First Half of My Life" from the year before last. I'm somewhat tired of watching it."
Before he finished speaking, the live broadcast room was full of special effects for gifts soaring into the sky. Cao Xuan didn't watch the live broadcast, so he didn't know how much it was worth.
"I'm in the study.
If Cao Xuan posted some wild cursive script or seal script, you would need some threshold to appreciate it.
"You and I are not very good at it, please contact Douyin staff."
["The Seventeen Hours of Chang'an" is also good to watch, you can give it a try]
Cao Xuan is good at regular script and running script, and it is a calligraphy style that ordinary people can intuitively appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, so the feedback from the audience is also good.
Since live broadcasting is one of Douyin's main businesses, it also encourages everyone to live broadcast, and has made great efforts in this regard.
About a minute later, Cao Xuan’s live broadcast room was officially canceled the option to buy gifts. About seven minutes later, all the gifts that had been bought before were returned in full. Douyin officials personally sent people to the live broadcast room to supervise them to prevent anyone from doing anything.
Routines.
Cao Xuan: "You try."
Cao Xuan: "I've finished reading it. I've urged it. I'm currently sorting out the script."
"Watching "Where Are We Going, Dad?" The program team doesn't want to watch my child when he's grown up."
"I really like your role as Ximen Qing. It's really good. I thought you were complimenting me. Thank you."
However, compared to Cao Xuan's own calligraphy, the outside world is more curious about whether there are any antique calligraphy and paintings in Cao Xuan's study, and what kind of wood Cao Xuan's study furniture is made of.
There are several celebrities who are not celebrities who appear in the field of live streaming. They are not doing it for money, but because they are bored and want to maintain exposure and interact with fans.
Different from the frankness of furniture, Cao Xuan only took a picture of antique calligraphy and painting. It was placed in a glass cabinet. The paper was yellow and mottled, and even the handwriting was a bit blurry.
Boss Cao's calligraphy and paintings are precious and rare. They are basically stored in major museums. There are very few stocks in the hands of private collectors. Every time one of them comes out, it is a big sensation in the collecting world.
Moreover, Douyin also placed Cao Xuan’s live broadcast at the top of the hot list, and then placed an open-screen advertisement. Many people imitated and copied it in the major comment areas, and a large number of Douyin users poured in from various entrances.
[Practice calligraphy or painting to cultivate your body and mind]
Su Dongpo didn't want to find work for himself, so he couldn't do anything.
[I received a lot of online course orders, 50 per person, can I give you a 45 package? 】
I bought this painting from a Japanese collector. The authenticity has not been officially verified, and there is little information from the outside world. It is mainly a personal favorite, so I collected it.
Cao Xuan: "Do you have any orders from the Beijing area? I'll go back and check the children's homework."
[Live broadcast, let’s chat and talk together]
Douyin officials are much more responsive than Weibo. They probably focus on it. As soon as Cao Xuan started the live broadcast, they immediately started giving recommendations.
But the real highlight is Cao Xuan’s calligraphy and painting.
Cao Xuan also sat in front of the camera again and happily greeted the audience in the live broadcast room.
Of course Cao Xuan knew the value of that painting, it was one of his proudest collections, but he also said.
By the time Cao Xuan put his phone down, the number of people in the live broadcast room had exceeded 150,000, and he quickly reached the top of the live broadcast real-time list.
Cao Xuan's study is not very big, just over 80 square meters in total. Overall, his study has two rooms and a slightly larger tea room/lounge.
"I am currently staying at my home in Beijing for about seven or eight months. I haven't been out since the Spring Festival, except for testing."
[You can receive a global live camera and watch global scenery from the video, including beaches, volcanoes, lakes, and animals]
The operation is simple and easy to use, and the picture quality and network fluency are better than those on Weibo. Cao Xuan successfully started the live broadcast.
In his view, after all, live broadcast rewards are voluntary, and anchors chatting with them in the live broadcast room is also a kind of labor.
The star with the highest number of fans on Douyin is Di Lieba. She joined early and is relatively active, with more than 70 million fans, but no one would think that he is more popular and has more fans than Cao Xuan.
I didn't do it in the early years because I wasn't very good at it. Later on when I got a little more accomplished, I had to show off from time to time. Now that I've caught such a good opportunity, I have to satisfy my vanity.
After interacting with netizens for a while, Shen Wei was in a good mood and thought it would be good to chat like this, so he went to tinker with the live broadcast. If the effect was good, he would play it. If the effect was not good, he would think of other ways.
I said a few words, but it was of little use. Some people were pure fans who were excited to see their idols, some wanted to show off in front of Cao Xuan, a rich man, some wanted to increase their presence, and some just wanted to show off.
Drainage and exposure purposes.
In addition, due to the delay in preparation, few things were arranged and I stayed at home for such a long time. The remaining workload was also cleared up.
I just chatted about daily life, interacted with the barrage questions, and occasionally uttered a few words myself. Across the screen, all I saw were words. Even though it was so relaxing, I still had a conversation. Cao Xuan thought it was quite funny.
.
However, Su Dongpo obviously underestimated his operational level. He couldn't finish it in two minutes, and a group of people were still frantically shopping for gifts. Su Dongpo got annoyed, frowned, took his mobile phone, and said to the camera.
Even the facilities in the study are carefully photographed and swept over, mainly to show off one's own character.
[If you can’t do it, beat the child]
The live broadcast room is about to explode. Anyone who has gone to school knows how valuable this calligraphy post is.
On January 7, Su Shi of Meizhou wrote!
If you don't understand, ask how much it's worth. Well, those who know the answer will basically reply in four words - priceless treasure.
Not to mention full-time anchors, in normal times, many celebrities also try to focus on live broadcasts. It is currently inconvenient to bring goods, and a large part of their income comes from live broadcast rewards.
"I can't say where your home is, it's in the capital anyway."
[Fitness bar, you can not only relieve boredom, but also exercise]
I am short of money, but I will criticize this kind of rule, and even advise everyone not to give people gifts, because this is ruining their jobs.
Cao Xuan doesn’t know how to live broadcast and doesn’t know how to do it.
"Fuck!!!"
In short, Cao Xuan persuaded him to come back and we paid him the gifts, but Shen Wei simply stopped trying to persuade him.
"I started the live broadcast to chat with everyone. If we are bored at home, let's talk together. I also call on viewers in special periods to stay at home as much as possible to protect themselves and their families.
The reward of tens of millions for one night's live broadcast is just a drop in the bucket for Cao Xuan. He would rather say more words of thanks and chat with everyone.
Shen Wei was not vague about the situation inside. He was fixing his cell phone in the study while explaining it to the audience in the live broadcast room.
That's what he said, but everyone knows that with Su Dongpo's wealth and status, it is impossible to sell paintings without asking someone to inspect the painting. Nine times out of ten, it is not true. If Su Dongpo hadn't become so temperamental today, I'm afraid the outside world would have
I didn’t know that Shen Weizhi had such a calligraphy sticker.
"I'm sorry, I don't have this kind of device to fix the mobile phone at the moment. The lens may not be stable. Please forgive me.
"
But Cao Xuan was bored, but he didn't want to make himself suffer, so he went to Weibo for help and asked netizens if they had any good ways to kill time and learn from it.
In the former case, Cao Xuan didn't hide it, or there was no need to hide it. There was no shortage of knowledgeable people in the live broadcast room. Frankly, he recognized that the tables, chairs, bookshelves, screens and other furniture in the study were all Hainan Huanghuali.
His level is too high, and the decentralization of power is too neat. For many tasks, Cao Xuan only needs the final signature for verification. The formulation and specific work are all done by
Someone asked how much this painting was worth, but Cao Xuan smiled and said nothing.
Many people don't understand the seal, but many people still recognize the inscription in the running script.
Cao Xuan has no intention of discussing the rights and wrongs of the live broadcast industry. I am here to relieve my boredom and chat. I am not making any money or saving trouble.
"This is a bookshelf. Some are often read, and some are just for show. This table is basically used for working, or sometimes reading scripts and books. The table on this side of the screen is for practicing calligraphy and painting. The words on the wall are
I wrote it to show my disgrace."
Cao Xuan had never held a solo live broadcast before, but this time he was self-taught.
Of course, the low threshold and high income of anchors can indeed easily cause mental imbalances in other industries, and also have some negative impacts on society, which will inevitably make this industry controversial.
But aside from some of the top platforms and popular artists who have settled earlier, Cao Xuan’s fans are definitely in the first echelon on Douyin.
Cao Xuan: "A few big words a day will make you tired if you write too much.
Moreover, this study is mostly used for office work and calligraphy practice. Our family also has a private library with a collection of tens of thousands of books, including some ancient books and unique books.
I’m very grateful for the gifts my friends bought just now, but I don’t lack them, so you don’t have to waste money, and I will return all the gifts you bought.”
But starting from the first gift special effect, the stuff hasn't stopped, there are endless carnivals, horse-drawn carriages, Porsches and so on.
"My children are taking online classes. We hide it because we don't want us to attract too much attention from the outside world, which is detrimental to the growth of our children."
