Chapter 13: Humble Customer Service Xiao Hu
After returning home, Lin Ye looked at his balance and felt helpless.
After a trip, I only had 4,000 yuan left when I came back.
The protagonists in other people's novels are living a life of luxury after receiving the golden finger, but I am about to become a pauper.
Am I going to be the first male protagonist who has a golden finger but still has to work and accept the blessing of 996?
"Now I'm counting on you."
Taking out his mobile phone, Lin Ye opened the short video software and checked the background system message immediately. When he saw that his application was approved, he breathed a sigh of relief. His way to make money had finally arrived.
"Holy crap, one million followers, is that really that exaggerated?"
"The number of likes has reached over 500,000, and the number of views has reached 40 million."
After seeing the background data, even though he knew that his magic video would definitely become popular, Lin Ye was still shocked.
This became a huge hit on the entire Internet, and the most important thing was that after he refreshed the post, the number of views increased by hundreds of thousands.
Is the traffic so high?
After watching it for a while, Lin Ye understood the reason. He had become the number one trending search on the platform, and netizens kept coming in through the trending searches.
Are all netizens nowadays so boring?
And there is more than just this one hot search related to his video. There are several hot searches related to him on the entire list.
Hot search No. 8: Where has the cactus gone?
Fourteen hot searches: What is the Qimen Moving Technique?
Out of curiosity, Lin Ye clicked on some related videos and found that most of them were analyzing his magic. There were various speculations about where the cactus went, and most analyses suggested that it was related to the paper box.
"Guess, you'll never figure out the reason even if you guess till you die."
The cardboard box was not displayed in front of the camera. This was done intentionally by Lin Ye in order to give netizens an object of suspicion. Only in this way would those highly educated netizens be certain that this was not some strange technique at all, but just a magic trick that was very ingeniously designed, and then they would keep watching to find flaws.
The eighth trending search was still somewhat serious, but after seeing the videos related to the fourteenth trending search, Lin Ye was speechless. These videos were all related to Qimen.
Some of them explain what Qimen is, some introduce the art of moving things, and a whole collection of various folk techniques popped up.
Some even swore that the hand seals they drew casually were those of the Qimen Moving Technique, and that their family had them too but they were lost later.
Some even said that their ancestors were from Qimen, and they began to take advantage of the popularity to advertise, recruit disciples, and sell talismans.
“I won’t be banned because of the publicity.”
Lin Ye was sweating a little. The reason why he created a strange boy was indeed partly for the sake of gimmick, but another reason was that he had seen a master like Taoist Ding Xuan in another world. There were masters in other worlds, and maybe there are also masters in modern times.
Even if it doesn't exist now, it should have existed in ancient times. It's not like creating something out of nothing if you create a strange thing yourself.
"Whatever. Anyway, I don't expect to make money by becoming an internet celebrity. I just want to earn some starting capital. If my account is blocked, it will be blocked."
Lin Ye didn't think about these trivial things. He clicked on the background income list with a little excitement. The string of numbers displayed on the screen made his heart beat faster.
One hundred thousand yuan!
This video brought him a creative reward of 100,000 yuan.
"No wonder everyone wants to be an internet celebrity. Once you become famous, you can make money quickly. I can earn 100,000 yuan for just one video. This is because there is a cap on the reward for creation, and the maximum is 100,000 yuan."
"Those internet celebrities take on advertising for businesses themselves, and the advertising fees must be millions."
Lin Ye smacked his lips. This original long video reward plan for short videos was set up to support some independent creators. Normally, 100,000 views would get 1,000 yuan, 1 million views would get 10,000 yuan, 10 million views would get 100,000 yuan, and there would be no money for more than 10 million views. This was the upper limit.
"If you join the reward program, your account cannot join an MCN organization within one year. The copyright of the video belongs to the creator, but the platform is exclusive. The video is not allowed to be uploaded to other platforms. The platform can use the video for third-party publicity and traffic diversion..."
Lin Ye took a look at the cooperation agreement and found it acceptable. After all, he had taken other people's money, so it would certainly not be easy to upload it to other platforms. However, he could choose to delete the video.
Ding Dong!
Just when Lin Ye was still reading the terms of cooperation, a message came.
I had set the private message do not disturb function, so it was impossible for ordinary messages to be sent. Lin Ye returned to the message page and found that it was sent by the official.
"Hello, Mr. Qimen. I am an employee of the Original Rewards Department. My name is Hu Tian. This is my phone number. I am here to serve you. If you have any questions, you can send me a message or call me."
Lin Ye didn't plan to communicate over the phone. He wanted to maintain a sense of mystery, so he typed and asked, "Is the upper limit of your creative reward only 100,000 yuan?"
In less than ten seconds, the other party replied. Looking at the long string of words, Lin Ye was somewhat impressed by the other party's typing speed.
[Qimen, it is like this. Our maximum reward for creation is only 100,000, but you can increase your income by attaching small programs or game links under the video. You just need to activate the star map function. You can also activate the store function and put products on the shelves for sale.]
Open star map?
It’s not that Lin Ye doesn’t understand short videos at all. When he decided to upload the video, he specifically looked up several ways to make money with short videos on the Internet. In addition to live streaming and brand-customized advertising, the other way is to take advertising on the official Star Map.
But it is also said online that it takes five working days to open a star map for an account, which is basically one week.
I'm in urgent need of money now.
[It will take several days to review the opening of the star map, right? 】
[It is indeed necessary to review the opening of the star map. I can help Qimen to urge it. 】
[How long will it take to urge? 】
[About an hour. If Qimen thinks it's too slow, I can report to the leader and it will only take half an hour.]
Lin Ye: ...
For some reason, Lin Ye's mind popped up a boy opposite him wearing black-rimmed glasses and with acne on his face. He was staring at the screen with fear and trepidation, afraid that he would be dissatisfied.
Thinking about this, Lin Ye found it a little funny. He dispelled the thoughts in his mind and typed: [No need, just urge me.]
[Okay, Qimen.]
Seeing that the other party did not send any more messages, Hu Tian breathed a sigh of relief. As for ordinary creators, or even some small internet celebrities with some fame, he could ignore them. They might even try to curry favor with him. After all, they had the power of promotion and review. But facing Qimen, he could only serve him with great care.
Forty million views is nothing if it is about people's livelihood or some hot social news, but for a magic video, it is terrifying.
The most important thing is stickiness.
With 40 million views, the number of fans increased by nearly one million, and they are real fans. This is much more real than those internet celebrities who have tens of millions of fans, most of whom are zombie fans.
Especially those anchors who sell goods, who often break through tens of millions of fans and hold a live broadcast to celebrate. Those are all zombie fans they created themselves, just to use this as an excuse to sell goods live.
However, even if he has to serve very carefully, Hu Tian is willing to do so, as their performance is also linked to the achievements of the creators they are responsible for serving.
If I hadn't been the first to see Qimen's application in the background, this opportunity would not have fallen on him.
…
Lin Ye signed the contract online, and 100,000 yuan was immediately transferred to his account. After withdrawing the money, he immediately ordered 1,000 kilograms of industrial silver from the metal company and asked them to deliver the goods to his door, including the gas welding gun and crucible equipment used for smelting industrial silver.
After placing the order, Lin Ye began to set up the magic scene.
"My apartment is still a little inconvenient. I should move to a bigger house so I can use a room as a magic room."
With the income from short videos, it would be no problem for Lin Ye to rent a three-bedroom apartment, but since he already has the golden finger, how could he still rent a house? He should be patient and buy an apartment when he has more money.
After the scene was set, Lin Ye began to think about what magic to perform this time.
Thinking of those stupid comments from netizens online, Lin Ye decided this time to make them completely doubt their lives.
This time, he no longer used a cactus, but chose a grapefruit. The previous performance was the same as the cactus magic steps, the difference was that this time he painted over the merchant logo on the paper box.
After flattening the cardboard box, he stretched out his hand, and the grapefruit on his palm was also gone. Then he used his left hand to show the inside of the flattened cardboard box to the camera, confirming that there was nothing in the box, and then he restored the cardboard box and put it on his right hand again.
He was still drawing talismans in the air. Lin Ye didn't care whether it was the same as the first time. After finishing, he opened the paper box with his left hand, and the pomelo appeared again in the palm of his right hand.
Throwing the paper box aside, Lin Ye picked up the fruit knife on the table and cut the pomelo in front of the camera, revealing the pomelo flesh inside, proving that this was a real pomelo, not an elastic prop.
After shooting the video, Lin Ye opened the short video platform, logged into the star map, and selected from the numerous advertisements. Finally, his eyes lit up and he found a store selling grapefruit agricultural and sideline products, which were also agricultural products.
The commission is 5%.
“The commission is not high, but it fits my video well and it helps with agricultural products, so I’ll take it.”
After posting the product link, Lin Ye chose to upload the video. When the video was uploaded, the seller of industrial silver also delivered the goods to his door.
After inspecting the goods, Lin Ye began to smelt them according to the instructions of the silver shop master.
While Lin Ye was smelting the silver, the video he posted on the short video platform became popular again.
