Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 148: Unprecedented Heat
At this time, a large number of viewers began to flock to the live broadcast rooms of major online platforms, especially many new viewers who came for Yang Zimi.
After all, Yang Zimi is no longer an ordinary contestant with nothing. The account [Big Stomach Prince Mi] on Weibo alone brings in more than 500,000 fans and traffic. Looking at all the contestants, he is unique.
Even Su Su and Shen Fu, who performed outstandingly in the first episode, only had a little over 100,000 fans each thanks to their beauty, and their combined number is still not as large as Yang Zimi's.
Although there are reasons for marketing and company support, it is also a choice made by audience voting, especially on the voting website launched by "Hello Female Anchor".
Yang Zimi's popularity is also very high, far ahead of other contestants. At least Dongsheng's ranking on this list was not inflated last week.
However, the prosperity brought by traffic is inherently false and has bubbles. It gets bigger and bigger. If there is no real work to support it, it will eventually break.
The news of Yang Zimi's appearance in the second episode was also released through the account [Big Stomach Prince Mi] to attract traffic.
Therefore, many live broadcast rooms’ barrages are filled with topics related to Yang Zimi.
" Come on, Wang Zimi, bring glory to us foodies!"
"I came here specifically to support Wang Zimi, just to see her win!"
"I'm tired of seeing handsome guys and beautiful girls. Wang Zimi is more down-to-earth. I can win the championship just by eating!"
"As for a talent show, it's only interesting to see ordinary people make a comeback!"
It is not difficult to see from the information revealed in many comments that the vast majority of people who are watching the fun are just looking for trouble.
This kind of thinking often occupies the mainstream of the Internet. In addition, the popularity caused by Yang Zimi on Weibo broke the circle, allowing a large number of people to choose to vote for him and come to the live broadcast room to watch and support him.
There is a simple thought behind all of this, which is to see the "ordinary" Yang Zimi win!
Although Yang Zimi's talent as a "big eater" is, to some extent, an innate gift, it is a talent that the general public can most easily resonate with.
Who doesn’t know how to eat? This is fundamentally different from appearance and singing and dancing talents, the latter of which makes the general public feel even more distant.
Letting Yang Zimi win is like catering to the general public's desire to see ordinary people succeed, and giving themselves a psychological comfort of "I can do it, too."
Supported by these two ideas, it is no surprise that Yang Zimi's popularity in the show is far ahead of others.
It is no surprise that the sentence-breaking joke "Wang Zi Mi" has become the choice of netizens for making jokes.
Soon, the camera in the live broadcast room turned to the guest seats. Principal Wang and Zhou Dongsheng sat next to each other, Han Jinglong, with an honest and reserved look on his face, sat next to Zhou Dongsheng, and Chen Shijie sat next to Principal Wang.
"Xiao Sima, is this your first time participating in this kind of program? How do you feel about it?" Zhou Dongsheng said casually.
"This wave, to be honest, I'm a little nervous." After saying this, Han Jinglong laughed, which was quite funny.
"Hey, I've watched your live broadcast. Your explanation of League of Legends is quite thorough. Are you interested in doing game commentary or something like that?" Principal Wang said with a smile.
Principal Wang was naturally very clear about Zhou Dongsheng's intention of bringing little Sima to the show, so he mentioned it casually.
Now that Principal Wang’s influence in the field of e-sports is at its peak, it is natural for him to arrange for Teacher Ma.
"There is definitely no problem for Mr. Ma to be a commentator. He has also been a coach and he led the team to win against OMG..." As the boss, Zhou Dongsheng also decisively started to praise each other for business.
Anyway, what I said is the truth, there is nothing wrong with it!
At this time, the host of the show also came on stage to introduce himself.
"Welcome everyone to the second episode of "Hello Female Anchor". Lin Genxin is unfortunately unable to attend due to schedule issues, but this episode also has two new guests. One is Chen Shijie, the CEO of the famous live streaming platform Shark Platform!"
"The other one is the game anchor Wuhu Xiao Sima. Maybe the audience doesn't know much about Xiao Sima, but it doesn't matter. Recently, Mr. Ma organized a challenge activity for the entire network..."
The host briefly mentioned Chen Shijie, and then focused on introducing the news about Teacher Ma and the [Ma's Triangle Kill] online challenge event.
In particular, the news that 10 latest Apple 6th generation mobile phones were given as prizes immediately set off a barrage of comments in the live broadcast room.
"What the hell? I'll give you an iPhone 6 if you finish it?"
"Is there such a good thing? I've been playing Lee Sin for ten years, I'm sure I'll get this phone!"
"Very good, you have successfully attracted the attention of my stubborn king!"
"The unyielding king will not yield."
"So, what exactly is the [Ma's Triangle Kill]? Let our teacher Ma explain it."
At this time, the host also gave the camera to Han Jinglong at the right time. Han Jinglong smiled shyly and recited the lines that he was particularly familiar with recently, "This [Ma's Triangle Kill] means that the Tianyin Wave is sliding..."
The standard of whether a meme is popular or not does not depend on whether the host plays it, but whether the general public plays it, and the most important thing is naturally its popularity.
Some memes are so popular that even if people don’t know the source or the host, the general public will still have a lot of fun with them, which makes the memes go viral.
For example, dog fans and "yyds" became so popular that no one cared who the source was, and the general public was caught up in this Internet meme carnival.
The spreadability of Teacher Ma's meme had already been proven in the previous life, so there was no need to worry about it.
Zhou Dongsheng only needs to do a little promotion to let more audiences know about it, and the rest will be left to the audience.
"This theory sounds interesting. I'll try it later. If I finish making this phone, you can't deny my responsibility." Principal Wang joked with a smile.
"Wow, even Principal Wang wants to compete with us?"
"Principal Wang has no chance. How can he possibly beat us single guys who have been single for years in terms of hand speed?"
"You are the single dog, I am the lone wolf!"
After that, the host took over the program again and began to introduce the schedule of the second episode.
"There is a small change in this episode, and careful viewers may have noticed it. Because of the special nature of Yang Zimi's talent show, he will participate in the live recording of the entire show to prove that he is worthy of his reputation as a big eater."
"This live broadcast room is filled with delicious food. There will be cameras broadcasting the entire process of Yang Zimi eating, and all the viewers will supervise..."
"Now, the show officially begins. Let us welcome the first group of contestants."
At the same time, on major live broadcast platforms, the popularity of the "Hello Female Anchor" live broadcast room continued to rise steadily, easily breaking the record of the first episode, and the popularity continued to rise.
Whether it is Yang Zimi or Xiao Sima's [Ma's Triangle Kill] network-wide challenge event, they will once again sweep the entire network with this popularity.
Killing two birds with one stone. Zhou Dongsheng’s short-term expectations for hosting this program have already been fulfilled. What remains to be seen is whether there will be any unexpected gains.
At this moment, the voice of the contestant on the stage gave Zhou Dongsheng an idea, and he couldn't help but think of another live broadcast category, whose potential is no less than that of eating broadcast!
