Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 634 Unlocking New Characters
At the same time, the popularity on Weibo continued to ferment. Zhou Dahai, who was the first to be affected, gained 200,000 followers overnight. After tasting the sweetness of traffic, he became more and more courageous.
And watching Zhou Dahai reaping the benefits of the traffic dividend, there is never a shortage of marketing accounts and various self-media that make a living on Weibo, a world of fame and fortune.
As they racked their brains and tried every possible way to take advantage of this wave of popularity, they indirectly made this wave of public opinion bigger and bigger, and it was likely to become a phenomenal war of words on Weibo.
However, the so-called war of words always requires several parties to fight back and forth in order to keep the heat going, especially for the spectators who like to watch the fun.
On the surface, they were saying: Stop fighting! But in their hearts, they were applauding: Fight, fight!
In fact, in this situation where the two sides are unequal in strength or fame, the best way to deal with it is to remain unchanged in the face of change.
If Zhou Dongsheng did not respond to this, as time goes by, the attention of the onlookers would naturally shift to other places.
Zhou Dahai and others also got the traffic dividend as they wished, and both parties were happy.
However, it was rare to have such good material delivered to his door, so Zhou Dongsheng would naturally not give up, after all...
After all, you are riding on my popularity and I am using you as material, we each get what we need, and everyone is happy, isn't it?
Just when Zhou Dongsheng arrived at the Shanghai Airport in a dusty state, he had just stepped off the plane through the priority channel and turned on his mobile phone when he received a call from Principal Wang.
"Hey, everyone says I have a tendency to become a hot topic. It looks like I'm going to have to hand over this title to you, kid. I didn't expect that you could create such a big stir just by making a movie..." Principal Wang said with some gloating.
"I'm actually not that interested in this title. I'm more interested in the title of 'China's Richest Man'. I wonder if Principal Wang is willing to give it up?" Zhou Dongsheng retorted.
"Hahaha, this is easy. You recognize me as your godfather, then the three of us, grandfather and grandson, can hang on it together. Then you will get what you wished for. How about it?" Principal Wang said with a grin.
Zhou Dongsheng was somewhat caught off guard by this sudden flirtation. "Forget it, I'll just rely on my own efforts. How about letting you recognize me as your godfather?"
"Okay, if you can become the richest man in China, I will recognize you as my godfather!" Principal Wang said without hesitation. After all, the probability... is only a little higher than Mars hitting the Earth, right?
"Okay, it's a deal then. I'll remember it!" Zhou Dongsheng said seriously.
After the two of them joked around for a while, Principal Wang got back to the point and said, "You interrupted me and I forgot to talk about the main business..."
"Aren't you going to respond to what happened on Weibo? Let me get back on your behalf. This is what I'm best at..." Principal Wang said cheerfully.
You know, half of the reason why Principal Wang has his current fame is due to his status as the number one troll.
In the small world of Weibo, there are people who are more capable of criticizing than Principal Wang, but none of them have his confidence and ability to do so without fear, and those who are more famous than him are not as capable of criticizing as he is.
In addition to his reputation as the secretary of the entertainment industry, he has experienced countless big and small verbal battles over the past few years, which is why Principal Wang was named the No. 1 Internet celebrity of the year.
Therefore, when Principal Wang said that this was what he was best at, it was not false. After all, compared to starting a business...
"To deal with these minions, why do you need to do it yourself, Principal Wang? As the saying goes, there is no need to use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken... But I do have an interesting method that requires your cooperation..." Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject.
Hearing this, Principal Wang was immediately alert and said hurriedly: "Tell me about it, I know you have the most tricks, if it's fun, I will definitely cooperate!"
"This is a long story. I just arrived at the Shanghai airport. Can we meet and talk?" Zhou Dongsheng said, deliberately keeping the other person in suspense.
"Okay, wait!" Principal Wang quickly hung up the phone.
Zhou Dongsheng smiled, put away his phone without caring, and opened the group chat of the screenwriter team to synchronize his ideas with a group of people.
Zhou Dongsheng had not been touched by this at first, but when Principal Wang called, his mind suddenly became flooded with ideas and inspirations gushed out immediately...
Especially the existence of Principal Wang, which suddenly reminded Zhou Dongsheng of an indispensable and important supporting role...
By the way, since you want to respond on Weibo, it is natural to apply for a Weibo account and get it certified.
Of course, Zhou Dongsheng obviously didn't need to worry about such trivial matters. He just needed to give an order to Li Jiana next to him, and someone would naturally take care of it.
It has to be said that life is like a play and a play is like life. Zhou Dongsheng's current life is indeed plain and boring.
…
The boss just had to speak and his subordinates had to run around. Zhou Dongsheng gave the order and they applied for a Weibo account and went through the professional certification process. All of these processes were naturally a piece of cake for the two major media outlets.
After all, whether they are internet celebrities or anchors, many of them have applied for certified Weibo accounts.
However, these people are obviously incomparable to Zhou Dongsheng. At the same time, as one of the protagonists of the current Weibo war of words, if he wants to open official certification, Weibo will naturally welcome it with open arms.
After all, Weibo has always been like this. It always takes a positive and encouraging attitude towards the responses from the parties involved, so it is natural to give the green light all the way and expedite the processing of special matters.
They promptly and decisively completed a series of processes including V certification for Zhou Dongsheng, and chose the most unremarkable title of "well-known investor" as the certification title.
Although Zhou Dongsheng has many titles worth mentioning, such as the founder of Xiaorenren Media, the founder of Yi Nian Media, and the chairman of Yangcheng Dongsheng Capital, these titles are enough to be put on his head.
You can even use the protagonist of "Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life" as a title. In comparison, the latter may be more well-known.
Precisely because he has too many titles, Zhou Dongsheng is ultimately defined as a more general title, “professional investor . ”
If Zhou Dongsheng has any ideas about this, he can naturally initiate a modification. After all, Weibo certification has always been relatively casual and free.
In this regard, when Zhou Dongsheng got his own account, he gladly accepted it. If he could not be certified as a " professional hands-off boss", Zhou Dongsheng would definitely choose the latter.
Titles and the like are obviously irrelevant. The most important thing is real-name authentication to confirm the identity of the owner.
Now that he has obtained the account, the next step is naturally to shoot a short video of response. A simple war of words or a response is meaningless to Zhou Dongsheng, and there is no fun in it.
So, after meeting Principal Wang, he described his idea in vivid detail. Principal Wang's eyes widened, and they immediately agreed and decided to take on this interesting role.
After the two parties reached a consensus, they naturally went together to the mall to buy props. At the same time, the professional team responsible for the filming received the news and began to arrange the venue in an orderly manner.
While the preparations were going on in full swing, Zhou Dongsheng and the others also began to tinker with the video shooting with great interest...
On the Weibo platform, when some people accidentally searched for "Zhou Dongsheng", the first thing that popped up was no longer those rumors, but a newly-launched certified account.
The three big words "Zhou Dongsheng" do not seem to be fake, and he also has the certified title of a professional investor. The most important thing is that the profile picture is still the handsome face in "The Boring Life of Zhou Dongsheng", which is three parts unruly, three parts lazy and four parts cold.
The resolution is maximized. Although there are only a few hundred Weibo fans, and the number of followers and Weibo posts are almost zero, it does not prevent the onlookers from being ecstatic.
Obviously, this registered account is a signal that Zhou Dongsheng is planning a counterattack!
After all, before this, Zhou Dongsheng had no intention of applying for a Weibo account, and there was no other display channel on the entire Internet except for the Douyin video account.
Whether for his fans or the general public who like to watch the fun, this stage seems a little bit not good enough.
Unexpectedly, after much anticipation, Zhou Dongsheng finally made it to the Weibo platform.
As one of the best, or even the best, social platforms in China, Weibo is indeed a unique social platform in terms of instant messaging and real-time interaction.
Especially at this point in time, it still plays an extremely important role.
As the news of Zhou Dongsheng's opening of a personal Weibo account spread like wildfire, with the spread of a large number of people and the promotion of this wave of public opinion, it unsurprisingly became a hot topic.
What followed was a swarm of onlookers from all directions, who flocked to the show, followed the show and tried to grab a spot, sitting under the main stage, eagerly waiting for Zhou Dongsheng to start his counterattack.
Not only the spectators, but also Zhou Dahai and others who received the news naturally paid attention silently, waiting for Zhou Dongsheng's response. Although they were a little nervous inside, the sweetness in their mouths made them put aside their worries temporarily.
Although Zhou Dongsheng’s achievements at such a young age are already beyond their reach, the Weibo platform is their home turf!
No matter how successful Zhou Dongsheng is in real life, it is not necessarily a magic weapon to win in the public opinion field, especially under the influence of public opinion, Zhou Dahai and others feel that they have already stood on the high ground of public opinion...
Just worrying about the "future of the Chinese film industry" is believed to be enough to make himself and others invincible.
Although I comforted myself in this way, I still habitually refreshed Zhou Dongsheng’s personal Weibo interface, nervously and anxiously waiting for Zhou Dongsheng to speak.
As for Zhou Dongsheng, he was carrying out the filming task slowly and leisurely. Since both parties were acting almost as themselves, the filming progress was not slow at all.
After all, the nature of short videos is that they do not need to be shot to movie-level standards. Therefore, for both of them who have made guest appearances in movies, there is almost no psychological burden at all.
What's more, the shooting part only requires providing reactions according to the script, and dubbing and music are all handled by the post-production department, which further reduces the difficulty. Isn't this simpler than the "1234567" of traffic stars?
After the shooting is completed, the materials are sent to the post-production department as soon as possible. Only after they inject soul into it can the final product be seen.
In his spare time, Principal Wang said cheerfully, "I've already made a friendly guest appearance for you, shouldn't you do me a favor as well?"
"Good guy, I was wondering why you were so cooperative. It turns out you were waiting for me here. Tell me about it." Zhou Dongsheng said in a teasing tone, but reciprocity is also human nature.
"It's actually not a big deal. You asked me to do a live talk show. I'm almost done. You can be my guest then..."
"Is such a small matter worth your personal inquiry, Principal Wang? Leave it to me." Zhou Dongsheng clenched his fist and pounded his chest, saying with a solemn oath.
Anyway, if nothing unexpected happens, this show will die at a speed beyond imagination. Moreover, if I were to be a guest, I would definitely have to step up my efforts...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng and Principal Wang smiled at each other. They both had their own ulterior motives and were smiling extremely happily.
After all, the editing department is a professional team brought together by two major media outlets, and they serve the boss Zhou Dongsheng, so their subjective initiative can be said to be maximized.
A short video content of less than a minute, poured a cup of hot tea, and after going through the one-stop process from editing to dubbing and music, the tea is still warm.
Afterwards, the freshly released short video was sent directly to Zhou Dongsheng at full speed, so that he and Principal Wang could watch it together.
When you open the video, the familiar soundtrack, accompanied by a dull atmosphere, unfolds the story.
"My drinking buddy came to my company to hang out, and he looked at his Rolex..."
At the same time, Principal Wang's smiling face appeared in the screen, and he pretended to take a look at the new Rolex in his hand.
Ding Dong, unlock a new character: drinking buddy!
"It's not to tell the time, it's just to let me know inadvertently that his is better than mine!"
The scene changed and Zhou Dongsheng rubbed his chin and smiled playfully.
"I smiled, pretended to be casual, and took out the poster of the movie in which I had a cameo appearance..."
Zhou Dongsheng casually picked up a movie poster of his own and shook it in front of Principal Wang, with a look of pride on his face .
"He smiled, took out his cell phone, and called dozens of film critics, who pointed at my nose and cursed me on Weibo..."
Along with the lines, a few passers-by were specially selected in the screen, with the words "film critic" tied on their heads, writing hard in front of the computer.
"I smiled, made a phone call and offered double the reward, which turned dozens of film critics under his control and turned their attacks against the movies in which he had a cameo appearance..."
The scene then changes, and it still shows these passers-by, A, B, C, and D, with tears of gratitude and an exaggerated look on their face, almost wanting to kneel down in front of the glittering banknotes. Then, as if they were given an injection of chicken blood, they work even harder to turn the tables and smear the other party, looking like fence-sitters who change their minds according to the wind.
A sense of contrast combined with current events comes across, which is both humorous and absurd.
