After so many years of rebirth, Fang Jing felt for the first time that he was a little behind the trend. How could self-media make money?
"No wonder there are so many clickbait mongers nowadays. With the first picture, the content is all edited, and the emotions are all for traffic."
"Hey! What do you think? But there is still a gap between us and them. After all, we are professionals and cannot be compared."
Hearing Gao Wei's proud tone, Fang Jing felt that it was necessary to give him a warning, "Pull you down. How can you keep your shoes wet if you stand by the river all the time? Be careful with the lawyer's letter warning."
Their navy materials come from their employers, and it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false. Most of them are based on rumors, and the people involved will be able to tell for sure.
After a few seconds of silence, Gao Wei sighed, "A few days ago, a colleague was in trouble. He received a piece of dirty information about the four returning men. Unexpectedly, the matter turned into a big deal and Wu Fan sued him. The court ordered him to pay 500,000 yuan.
Reputation damage fee.”
"The guy knelt down on the spot, with tears and runny nose running down his face. He cried and begged for forgiveness, but he didn't agree and is now preparing to sell the house."
"This incident also reminded me that I shouldn't speak too harshly or be ambiguous and just stop at the point, otherwise sooner or later I will be sent to the police with a summons."
"Yeah! As long as you know how powerful it is." Seeing that he understood the seriousness, Fang Jing didn't say much, "But now you can distribute my dirty information as you like."
"Don't hide it. Give it away as much as you can. There won't be any shop like this after passing this village."
"What do you mean?" Gao Wei seemed to smell a conspiracy.
"Just leave it alone, Yang Sisi will come to you again in the next two days." Fang Jing thought for a while and continued, "For your job... you'd better get ashore as soon as possible."
"It's no joke if something goes wrong. Those celebrities each endorse hundreds of millions. If you expose their shortcomings, will they fight with you?"
"Your colleague's compensation of 500,000 yuan is considered lucky. If Wu Fan puts all the losses on him, he will not be able to pay it back in eight lifetimes."
"No way?" Gao Wei was a little worried when he heard that the matter was so serious, "But I won't do anything else except this."
"Working is too tiring and there is no future. I don't know how to do business. You can't let me go home and farm with my father, right?"
Gao Wei's words were clear and logical, and Fang Jing felt it made sense for a moment, but then he thought it was wrong again, "You have so many hands and feet, but you still lack a bowl of food?"
"There are so many honest jobs. As long as you don't steal or rob, what can't you do? How about... come to my place?"
"I'm going to make my debut soon, and publicity will definitely be indispensable in the future. You are in this business, so you should be able to do it."
…
Thousands of miles away, in a small rental house in Jiangsu and Zhejiang areas, seven or eight young people were typing away in front of an old computer.
The oldest of these people was twenty-two or thirty, and the youngest looked to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. Gao Wei leaned in front of the door frame, looking at them unbearably.
"Forget it, I appreciate your kindness and I don't want to leave just yet."
After persuading to no avail, Fang Jing persisted, "Okay, call me whenever you want to come over."
"Yeah! Thanks, brother." Gao Wei hung up the phone.
"Viagra, who called? We've been talking for so long." Luo Jian, the youngest, pushed up the thick lenses on the bridge of his nose and asked casually.
"Fang Jing!"
"Tart!" Everyone's hands typing on the keyboard stopped and their eyes turned to Gao Wei.
"Isn't it a warning from a lawyer?" Luo Jian swallowed and asked nervously. For people in the self-media, these are the words they fear the most.
Once you are accused, you will lose all your money and you will not be able to pay compensation, and you may even have to bear legal responsibility and go to jail.
"No!" Gao Wei shook his head and thought for a while before telling him what Fang Jing told him.
"Are you stupid?" said Wang Ying, the only girl in the team. She ran away from home a year ago and was taken in by Gao Wei here.
"Just leave if you can. Stay here and wait for the day when you will be accused. Besides, don't celebrities have studios? You can just go over there and mingle and then come back to meet us."
Gao Wei laughed and said, "You were fighting at the time, and you were still there to support me. Besides, you may not know what trouble will happen once I leave."
"I think Sister Ying is right." Luo Jian nodded, "Didn't Yang Sisi say she wanted to recruit us a few days ago?"
"Instead of joining her, it's better to join Fang Jing. At least you are familiar with us here, and he won't throw us out if something happens."
"Let me think about it." Gao Wei did not reply immediately. Yang Sisi did contact him, but only admitted that the relationship would be a cooperative relationship in the future.
Each person gets a basic salary of 2,000 yuan per month, and if there is a bill, it will be calculated separately. Where the money is paid, they will contribute the effort. If anything happens, they will be responsible for the consequences. They are not responsible for recruiting people.
What he was worried about was that Fang Jing's career had just started and he couldn't use so many of them. If they went there, it would cause trouble.
"If you have anything on your mind, just give me a call and ask." Wang Ying urged.
Gao Wei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll ask."
"What's the matter? Have you thought clearly?" Fang Jing's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"I...I want to take my people there, is that okay?"
"How many people?"
"Eight."
"Wait a minute, let me ask."
He didn't run the company. One or two people were fine, but Fang Jing couldn't make the decision with eight people. He had to ask Yang Ning.
After dialing Yang Ning's number, the call was picked up within three seconds. Fang Jing explained the matter again.
"Keep them! They must stay!" Yang Ning's eyes lit up in Huanrui's office. She had just come here and the team was weak, and it was just when she needed people.
If Fang Jing is right, this group of people really has fifty accounts and forty or fifty people offline, that will definitely be a big help.
There are nearly a hundred accounts, each with a minimum of tens of thousands of fans. What is the concept? As long as she, Yang Ning, buys hot searches, these more than a hundred accounts will set the pace.
Within a week, Fang Jing had at least five million exposures, which was much better than the company's publicity effect.
"You ask where they are now? If possible, it's best to come to Shanghai and get your air tickets reimbursed, by the way! Are they still offline? Let them develop as much as they can."
"I can't come here for the time being." After receiving a call from Fang Jing, Gao Wei smiled bitterly, "Yang Sisi just placed another order, let us clear your name."
"Oh? Then come back when you're done, I'll be waiting for you in the city." Fang Jing didn't expect things to happen so he hung up the phone and relayed the results to Yang Ning.
"Gao Wei, Gao Wei," Yang Ning smiled playfully, holding a pen between her fingertips and tapping the desk slowly, "It turns out Sisi is looking for them. Let's see how she shows off to me next time."
…
"This evening, Fang Jingweibo issued the latest news, saying that he has been preparing for the Voice of Dreams competition during this period, and came out to refute the rumors as soon as he saw the news from the outside world.
And thank you all for your attention and fans' support. I will present better works to you in the future.
"Things turned around and Fang Jing revealed the rights to adapt the lyrics."
"The Internet is not a lawless place. Who is to blame for trolls maliciously slandering young musicians?"
It has to be said that Yang Sisi is very good at hype. Fang Jing had two more pieces of news on the hot search that day. From plagiarism to whitewashing, various gossips continued.
Often, as soon as the trolls finish hacking, fans come on stage to reveal the shady story of someone, saying that Fang Jing was framed, and then Heizi exposes the evidence to slap him in the face.
The two sides reversed four or five times, and Yang Sisi's set of operations dazzled the audience.
