Tens of thousands of young men and women of different skin colors twisted their bodies crazily to the dynamic music beat on the stage.
The black DJ with a big gold chain on the stage was spinning and twisting along with him.
Dozens of teenage internet celebrities from Musical.ly came on stage one by one and performed their favorite songs.
Zhang Yida said to Shen Beipeng and Xu Xiaoming who were sitting next to him: "What do the two teachers think of this big party?"
The roaring music was so noisy that Xu Xiaoming couldn't hear clearly. He leaned his head over and listened, and asked loudly: "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly!"
Zhang Yida was speechless, put his hands together in front of his mouth, and shouted: "I said... how about the show...?"
Xu Xiaoming finally heard clearly now. While twisting his body to the beat of the music, he shouted back: "Very good! Very exciting!"
He is a music student himself and attended the Central Conservatory of Music in college, so he was full of praise for the various music programs being performed on the stage.
Shen Beipeng took a sip of his drink and leaned his head over to ask: "Are these performers all Internet celebrities on the Musical.ly platform?"
"Yes, they are all junior high school students and high school students, all of them are versatile! Haha!" Zhang Yida replied with a smile.
Shen Beipeng nodded, then turned to look at the large, dark audience behind him, and asked, "How many people are here today?"
"More than 50,000 people!" Zhang Yida said with a smile, "They are all young people who came here to participate in the first Musical.ly Music Festival. They came from all fifty states in the United States."
"Musical.ly has a good influence in the United States! It has been able to organize such a large-scale event." Shen Beipeng praised.
Zhang Yida waved his hand, "The influence is still a bit lacking. I originally wanted to organize more than 100,000 people."
"Take your time, I think this is a great achievement. Musical.ly, an entertainment software, has actually broken cultural barriers and become popular all over the United States.
Now there is also a music festival, and so many people are participating.”
What Shen Beipeng said is true. It is indeed surprising that Musical.ly has become so popular in the United States.
Many Internet practitioners at home and abroad are discussing and analyzing the underlying reasons for Musical.ly’s popularity.
Ordinary melon-eaters are: Zhang Yida is awesome, Musical.ly is awesome.
Then, a black guy appeared on the stage and conquered the audience with his good rap.
Subwoofers and tweeters allow audio to join the battle
Ah, the powerful trumpet makes the weirdo show up
We cranked up the speakers and Timmy's trumpet started playing for that curvy bitch
…
Compared with beats, Zhang Yida likes to translate black rap lyrics the most.
Well, vulgarity is elegance!
This black guy does have two hands. He wears sunglasses and a hip-hop hat. His thick lips turn rapidly and he spits out hilarious lyrics.
Zhang Yida thought to himself, if the "Big Bowl Wide Noodles" competed with others here, he would probably be so shocked that he would not even be able to cry.
Then a teenage girl with blond hair and blue eyes took the stage and sang "Welcome to New York" once sung by Taylor Swift.
After passing through the crowds, the city glows
The loud heartbeat comes from the kaleidoscope, and we are under the coat
…
welcome to new york
…
The little girl sang well and was also a sweet girl. The male fans in the audience shouted her online name:
BabyAriel～
BabyAriel～
…
Zhang Yida knew that this girl was one of Musical.ly's biggest Internet celebrities in North America, with tens of millions of fans on the platform.
She turned out to be an ordinary 15-year-old girl from Florida. She quickly became famous on Musical.ly because she likes to "sing" songs with hand gestures, combined with her exaggerated expressions and changing new shooting angles.
The fame she gained on Musical.ly helped her quickly gain popularity on YouTube and Instagram.
Zhang Yida also heard that she is already selling her own branded products, including lipstick and mobile phone holders with her own image printed on them, and is traveling across the United States to meet fans.
It can be said that I have reached the stage of harvesting "leeks" with my own fame.
Musical.ly certainly strongly supports this behavior!
After all, it took a lot of effort to create such a famous Internet celebrity, and he started to make money from his fame, which shows that Musical.ly's star-making campaign has begun to bear fruit.
Musical.ly needs a typical case like BabyAriel to convey a message to the outside world: Come to Musical.ly, the next BabyAriel will be you!
American teenagers are similar to Chinese teenagers, they both crave fame and receive public attention.
If you can still make money with your popularity, that would be so beautiful!
Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and Instagram are social networking sites for text, video content, microblogs, and photos respectively.
And it has been established for a long time, and the development dividends for Internet celebrities are no longer there.
And it’s not kid-friendly, at least according to Musical.ly users.
Musical.ly is different. They are all young people, and they are novel and interesting. There are many opportunities to become Internet celebrities.
Therefore, it is particularly popular among teenagers. If you don’t know how to play Musical.ly, you are simply out of tune.
Next on the stage was Beckham's 12-year-old son Cruz, who is also a little internet celebrity on Musical.ly.
He sang one of his debut songs, "Every Day Is Christmas."
The photographer turned the camera and focused it on the Beckham family who were standing in the audience cheering for their son.
Through the huge LED screen on the stage, we can see that Beckham, who is over forty years old, is still handsome. The uncle is holding his charming wife Victoria in one hand and the five-year-old Princess Seven in the other.
Seeing that the camera was pointed at him, he released his left hand from holding his wife and waved to the camera.
When the little seventh princess saw her father waving, she also waved her little chubby hand to the camera. She was so cute.
Zhang Yida also saw this scene and said that this little seventh princess is still very popular in China.
Especially the photo of Beckham in his arms, wearing a white woolen hat and sticking out his tongue at the camera.
It was very popular in China at that time, and Zhang Yida had also seen that photo.
You have to become famous early!
Neither Beckham nor Victoria are economical. They give their son a platform and let him release a single at the age of 12, which shows how capable they are.
In today's society, fame is money!
After the music festival, Musical.ly North America President Ryan organized a thank-you dinner in a villa and invited dozens of small internet celebrities who participated in the music festival and their families.
The dinner was an outdoor buffet. Ryan, wearing a decent dress, stood on the stage and spoke: "The Musical.ly Music Festival was very successful. On behalf of the company and myself, I would like to thank you all..."
After briefly saying a few words of thanks, Ryan added: "In addition, I would also like to thank Mr. Zhang Yida, the chairman of our company, for holding this music festival.
It is with his strong support that we have this grand and wonderful music festival.
Next, I’d like to invite Mr. Zhang.”
Zhang Yida walked onto the stage in crisp clothes and greeted everyone: "Hi, thank you for your hard work, guys!
The program at the music festival was very exciting. I filmed the performance into a short video and posted it on DouShi, which is China’s Musical.ly.
In two hours, it received 2 million likes.
Many Chinese netizens are full of praise for your performance and welcome you to hold a music festival in China."
Dozens of small Internet celebrities in the audience were very happy. They didn't expect that they would become famous in China.
The parents of the little internet celebrities also showed satisfied smiles, and they also saw their children's performance.
For most of them, who are from the civilian class, they are also very pleased that their children can achieve such achievements.
Unlike Chinese parents who place more emphasis on cultural achievements, European and American parents are very encouraging and supportive of their children's hobbies and specialties, such as singing, dancing or sports.
Zhang Yida continued: "In addition, I personally prepared a small gift for you."
Musical.ly employees showed up pushing dozens of brand new green scooters.
Zhang Yida continued: "These scooters have the same structure as the Green shared scooters on the market. The only difference is that each scooter is printed with your name."
"Wow~ so cool!"
Dozens of half-grown children cheered.
Zhang Yida asked the staff to start distributing gifts.
"I love this gift so much. It will be so cool to ride it to school!"
When Cruz took the green scooter with his name "Cruz Beckham" printed on it from the staff, he looked like he couldn't put it down.
Seeing this, Victoria reminded: "Then why don't you go thank Mr. Zhang!"
Beckham nodded in agreement and said to his son: "Then go and thank Mr. Zhang!"
“Let’s go as a family!”
Beckham frowned, looked at his wife and said, "There's no need for this!"
"I checked and found that Mr. Zhang Yida is a very potential rich man, and he already has two listed companies, one on Nasdaq and one on the New York Stock Exchange.
In addition to Musical.ly, Green scooters, which are popular all over the United States, are also his industry. He has seven or eight unicorn companies like this in China.
Among them, there is also a super unicorn with a valuation of more than 30 billion US dollars.
For a rich man of this level, I think it’s okay to make some friends.”
Beckham has always respected his wife because she helped him get out of the trough of his life and maximized his business value.
Of course, his wife is not simple either. She has been riding a Rolls-Royce since she was a child, has been a singer, a fashion designer, and now has her own fashion brand. She is a strong business woman.
Beckham nodded to his strong woman wife, "Okay! Let's get to know this young rich man!"
At the same time, Zhang Yida encountered some minor troubles.
The fifteen-year-old cute girl Baby Ariel was wearing a backless evening dress and was talking to him eagerly.
"Mr. Zhang, are you really 21 years old? But you look like you are eighteen years old at most."
"We Chinese are relatively shy. In fact, I will graduate from my undergraduate degree next year."
"Is Green Scooter your company too? I've seen it in our city. It's really a genius idea."
"China was the first to launch shared bicycles, and Green only made certain modifications based on European and American culture."
"You are so humble. I heard that Chinese people think modesty is a virtue!"
"Yes, humility allows us to keep a cool head at all times, which is especially important in the business world. Especially in the technology industry, endless technological revolutions can easily overturn large companies!"
"It's so interesting to talk to you. Can I add you on Twitter or Instagram?"
“I always use WeChat or Weibo!”
"What is that? Is it a Chinese social software? I think you are the chairman of a multinational group and should open some foreign social software accounts!"
