Chapter 180 It's Really Hot
In the evening, Zhang Bei opened the acne scar live broadcast room and suddenly found that the number of fans had exceeded one million.
The little fat boy was a little excited. He didn't know why it was so magical and so many people liked to watch it.
Many people liked the short videos he edited, especially the part where Li Fugui sang, which has received more than hundreds of thousands of likes. He didn't expect that so many people would like his unprofessional singing voice.
Zhang Bei carefully edited and cut today's material again, added some music, and sent it to Xiao Tao to have a look. After confirming that there were no problems, he prepared to upload it!
Li Fugui sorted out the photos he had taken and sent them to Zhang Bei, asking him to take a look and refine them.
I will look back at the information and send it to the publishing house for the editorial department to review. If it is acceptable, I will prepare to publish it later.
As the Internet booms, countless people with dreams are diving into the ocean of short videos and live broadcasts, eager to carve out a world of their own.
Zhang Bei is one of them. Although he was born in an ordinary family, he had a burning heart for pursuing his dreams. He accidentally embarked on an unimaginable journey to become an internet celebrity.
Tonight, Zhang Bei, as usual, felt a little nervous and expectant. He tapped the screen of his mobile phone and opened the acne scar live broadcast room.
In an instant, the flashing comments and the constantly jumping like numbers on the screen made his heart tremble - the number of fans has already steadily exceeded one million.
This young man, once unknown and struggling to make a living amidst the hustle and bustle of the city, looked at the string of numbers with tears welling up in his eyes, his heart and eyes filled with disbelief. "Why are so many people suddenly watching my live stream?"
Zhang Bei muttered to himself, his voice filled with excitement and confusion that he could hardly conceal.
In fact, the popularity of Zhangbei's live broadcast room seems accidental, but in fact it is due to many inevitable factors.
At first, I just took some photos of daily life and street scenes in my free time during road trips, edited them into short videos and posted them on my acne scars, just to record my daily life.
Those videos have no cool special effects and no big names appearing in them. They only have simple pictures and heartfelt narration, but they quietly stand out among the massive amount of content.
The turning point came when Li Fugui's singing voice broke into the camera.
Li Fugui is Xiao Taojie's boyfriend. He is tone-deaf but loves to sing at the top of his lungs. On the 318 bus, Zhang Bei casually took a photo of Li Fugui singing with ecstasy. When editing it, he wanted it to be a funny clip, but he didn't expect the number of likes to soar like a rocket after it was posted, breaking through hundreds of thousands in just a few days.
Netizens left messages in the comment section: "This song is so addictive, it's magical and stress-relieving" and "The bad mood of the day is cured by this off-tune song." Simplicity and authenticity have become the "traffic code" of this video.
This sudden popularity made Zhang Bei realize that capturing the bright spots in life with heart, even if unprofessional, can touch the hearts of the public.
Since then, he has devoted himself to studying short video editing techniques, repeatedly polishing every detail from shot connections, transition effects, to music selection.
Just like tonight, despite being busy during the day, Zhang Bei was not tired at all. He carefully sorted out the newly shot materials from beginning to end and edited them meticulously.
Every time I cut out a redundant scene or added a piece of music that fits the atmosphere, I rehearse in my mind the fans' reactions when they watch it, striving for a perfect presentation.
After completing the first draft of the editing, I sent it to my partner Sister Xiaoyu immediately.
Sister Xiaoyu has a unique vision and rich experience, and is an expert in content control. Zhang Bei is well aware of the weight of her opinions, and only after she checks and nods her approval that there are no problems does he dare to upload the video.
Meanwhile, Li Fugui wasn't idle either. He's a photography enthusiast, his phone albums overflowing with photos. This 318 shopping festival brought him a bountiful harvest.
Seeing that Zhang Bei's short video business was booming, he wondered if his photos could also be put to use.
He spent several days sorting through the photos one by one, selecting the ones with the most storytelling and visual appeal and sending them to Zhang Bei with a message: "Beizi, I think these photos are quite interesting. Can you take a look at how to retouch them and add some of your special effects? Who knows, they might become hits again."
When Zhang Bei received the photos, he looked at those pictures that captured moments of life, as if he saw treasures waiting to be unearthed. He immediately decided to put in some effort in post-production to make these photos shine with a unique charm.
While the short video business was booming, Zhang Bei still had a "publishing dream" in his heart.
He usually likes to write essays and short stories, and has accumulated a lot of manuscripts over time. This time, taking advantage of the popularity he has accumulated on the Internet, he decided to take the crucial step of publishing a book.
He sorted out the materials he had written in the past one by one, repeatedly proofread the words and formatting, and after ensuring that the documents were neat and correct, he solemnly sent them to the editorial department of the publishing house.
The moment his finger clicked the send button, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. The image of books in volumes and placed on the shelves of bookstores appeared in his mind, and his heart was full of longing.
Although he knew that the road to publishing was full of thorns and the review was strict, and the manuscript might not be approved in one go, the seed of hope had already been planted, and he was ready to go all out and polish it repeatedly.
While waiting for the publisher's reply, video review, and photo retouching, Zhang Bei's thoughts drifted back to his youthful days when he first entered the short video field.
At that time, he had no experience and was at a loss as to how to use the filming equipment. He was completely clueless about the editing software. The finished video had rough picture quality, slow rhythm, and very few views.
However, being stubborn by nature, he was not defeated by the initial setbacks. Instead, he plunged into the "ocean" of online tutorials, studying shooting techniques and editing ideas day and night. He asked everyone for advice on lens expression and content selection. With this unyielding tenacity, he gradually found the tricks, the quality of his works improved day by day, and the number of his fans also grew steadily.
After achieving the goal of one million fans, Zhang Bei had to keep his nerves on edge during live broadcasts. He had to make witty remarks to liven up the atmosphere, but also had to strike a balance to avoid making mistakes. He became more cautious in making short videos, fearing that the content would not meet the expectations of fans and ruin his hard-earned reputation. At the business cooperation negotiation table, he had to rack his brains to weigh the pros and cons, safeguard his creative autonomy, and not be led astray by interests.
Zhang Bei's thoughts were interrupted by a call from Sister Xiaotao. She gave detailed suggestions for revising the video, praising its creativity while pointing out several places where the rhythm was slow.
Zhang Bei listened attentively, went back to work immediately, and immersed himself in the world of editing again.
He understands that in the ever-changing world of internet celebrities, the only way to gain a foothold is to continuously produce high-quality content.
It is not an easy task to refine Li Fugui's photos. Light and shadow adjustment, blemish removal, and color rendering, each step requires patience and care.
Zhang Bei repeatedly compared the effects, striving to restore the charm of the photo scene and give it artistic beauty, so that the photos are not only souvenirs but also carriers of stories.
A few days later, the publishing house finally responded. The editor praised the manuscript for its warmth of life and delicate writing, but also pointed out the problems of loose structure and dragged-out plots, and attached detailed suggestions for revisions.
Although Zhang Bei felt somewhat disappointed, he quickly pulled himself together, viewing this as an opportunity for improvement. He analyzed the text word by word, comparing it with the annotations, reorganizing the chapter structure, deleting redundant plot points, and strengthening the main storyline, thus embarking on a new round of arduous creative work.
As time goes by, Zhang Bei becomes more and more convinced of the mission bestowed upon him by his dual roles as an influencer and creator: capturing the ordinary beauty with his camera, describing the everyday world with his words, and injecting warmth and strength into the fickle online world. He believes that as long as he keeps moving forward, his dreams will eventually become reality.
