You can't imagine the happiness of the group performance

In a high school in Washington, DC, when the school bell rang, the whole school boiled like a bombed fish pond.

In less than a second, countless young people poured out of each classroom door.

Everyone's faces are basically filled with different but unified joys.

Then everyone raced against time to leave the cage that restricted them for more than half a day to do what they wanted to do.

The one running in the front was a tall, cool-looking white boy named Kevin.

"Hey Kevin! Don't you really want to go on weekends? It's a rare opportunity..."

As soon as Kevin walked out of the building, he was stopped by a Chinese female student who was chasing up from behind. It sounded like this was a weekend activity for Kevin to join the class, but Kevin obviously had no interest in it. He refused and said, "No!"

"Oh, okay."

The Chinese girl seemed intimidated by this tough attitude, so she didn't say much.

On the other side, Kevin who ran away was muttering in his heart: Isn't that a giant panda, isn't that an animal?Only kids like to watch it, right?
Last December, a zoo in Washington welcomed two giant pandas Mei Xiang and Tian Tian from China.

To be fair, giant pandas are really cute. After they came to Washington, there was a wave of panda fever. Many people went to see them, and there were many photos on the Internet.

But this is not the first time giant pandas have come to Laomei, so there must be no super big sensation or anything.

And not everyone is interested in giant pandas.

Kevin is one of them. He feels that now that he is an adult, he has to be cool. Watching them is not as comfortable as watching the Grammys live at home.

After all, his idol Joey is one of the hottest Grammys this time.

Speaking of which, Kevin really fell in love with Joey after the Sydney Olympics.

During the Sydney Olympics, almost the whole world was mocking the Chinese team because they sent a singer to the competition, and everyone was mocking Joey, thinking he was going to die.

As a result, Joey defeated the mighty Dream Team in front of the whole world, and the whole world was shocked by Joey.

The Dream Team was defeated, and various patriotic emotions were aroused on the Laomei side, but overall it was not very strong. On the contrary, everyone bombarded the players for their lax attitude more than Jiang Yan, thinking that the Dream Team was in the gutter Overturned, I still look down on the Chinese team, but I have a lot of praise for Jiang Yan. After all, he really proved himself from the hell mode. This is an inspirational character, just like "Rocky". The old beauty is the best. Mouth.

Of course, ordinary people don't know how much Warner and Jiang Yan's money has played behind this.

In short, the Olympics really gave Jiang Yan many fans in Europe and America, including music and basketball lover Kevin.

He thinks Joey is the coolest singer and coolest basketball player in the world.

So this time Grammy Jiang Yan has become one of the most popular, and Kevin naturally wants to watch it as soon as possible.

Half an hour later, when Kevin got home, he turned on the computer immediately, then opened the blog site, and entered Joey's personal blog to check for the latest developments.

The form of blogging has appeared in Laomei as early as the 90s, and it is not a novelty.

But there are not many personal blogs at this moment. Joey's personal blog is the first batch in the entire Internet world, maybe even the first one.

In short, when the personal blog came out, Warner also promoted it, which can be regarded as sending a strong freshness to the fans.

Joey's personal blog was created in early January this year. It is said that he received letters from fans saying that Joey does not often do activities in Europe and the United States. There is no way, and in order to take care of the emotions of fans, Joey created such a personal blog.

This is also one of the few connections between European and American fans and Jiang Yan.

But it is such a bond that allows fans to get to know Jiang Yan himself more closely.

Because Jiang Yan's blog is completely different from other public blogs. Others' blogs are very academic, while Jiang Yan's blog is very life-oriented, does not talk about politics, and does not comment on people casually.

His blog is not updated very frequently, maybe once a week, but the content is very interesting.

There are probably three pieces of content that fans like to watch the most.

Food, fitness and various jokes.

Regarding food, as a Chinese person, it would be unreasonable not to promote the food.

And Chinese food is like a sky full of stars, don't want too much, you can't finish it.

At the same time, it is closely related to culture, so this piece of content has the dual effect of cultural output + laziness.

Of course, Jiang Yan will not export rotely when promoting, but will combine some life-like things.

For example, what kind of dish did you eat during the break today, and I will tell you the ins and outs of the dish along the way.

For example, if someone asked me a question today, I would just mention it along the way.

So a group of fans found out in Jiang Yan's article that Laomei's Chinese food is not authentic, even Joey himself doesn't know it!

It turns out that there are so many Chinese dishes, and many dishes have a history of hundreds of thousands of years. It turns out that chopsticks are not a symbol of backwardness. People used knives and forks before B.C. . .

Such popular science content is much more acceptable when Jiang Yan expresses it in the form of sharing life stories.

At the beginning of February, the blog was upgraded, and pictures could be uploaded, so the form of both pictures and texts made the acceptance another level.

For example, Jiang Yan said that he was asked by so-and-so, "Do you Chinese all eat dog meat?"

When Jiang Yan talked about this matter, he put up the bewildered photo of "Xiong Ba", there were three question marks beside the tilted head of Xiong Ba, and wrote: Master wants to eat me?
This kind of content in the form of emoji has attracted a lot of fans, so the explanation about "eating dog meat" will be more credible, so as long as you are a fan of Jiang Yan, you probably know that eating dog meat is actually in China. Also a minority.

At the same time, Xiongba has quietly become the favorite of fans, after all, it is Jiang Yan's pet.

For the output of food, Jiang Yan has always maintained a lifestyle, in short, he is not radical, and comes here from time to time.

But for the second section, the fitness content is very professional.

Lao Mei loves to keep fit, and Jiang Yan has a strong body, so it's hard to justify not being a sports blogger.

And the content about the movement is actually easy to copy. Jiang Yan has prepared a lot of various articles for future generations. Anyway, one article a day can be written ten years later.

This kind of fitness article, coupled with Jiang Yan's top figure that he posted from time to time, has attracted a lot of fans, because Jiang Yan is not just talking, he is a real Olympic champion and the top athlete in the world.

In addition to the above two contents, the rest are some jokes.

There are not a lot of these contents, but every time one appears, it will have a considerable effect in this era. After all, the Internet era has become very popular in Laomei, but the era of content has not yet begun.

The above three most popular content also let old American fans know what kind of person Joey is.

Real, love life, love sports, humor, self-discipline, versatile. . .

In short, in this era when personal media has not yet emerged, Jiang Yan's fans' cohesion is stronger than that of many local stars.

. . . . . .

Having said that, Kevin opened Jiang Yan's Weibo to see if there were any updates as usual today.

Now there is a lot of discussion about this Grammy in the market. Some say that Jiang Yan is not qualified, and some say that he is okay.

Such discussions are normal, Jiang Yan must have already understood, so will he post some of his thoughts on the blog?
It’s okay if you don’t have any thoughts, just read other content, for example, what interesting stories will Joey share this week?

Thinking of this, Kevin clicked the mouse, and after a while the webpage was refreshed, the corners of Kevin's mouth raised, and it was updated!
At the beginning, Jiang Yan posted photos of the cabin and wrote: Ready to go.

Kevin nodded with a smile, and silently cheered.

At the same time, I was envious of Joey's private jet.

It's nice to have money!
Keep looking down,

I saw Jiang Yan then wrote: share a very interesting thing, don't be jealous of me!

This sentence is followed by a link.

Kevin clicked without thinking.

Soon, the page jumps to a new website.

After a while, the first thing that catches the eye after loading is a title: "Precious video of early human thighs being tamed".

Kevin was a little confused at the time.

what is this?
Human thighs, tamed?

This is a sick sentence, right?
But he didn't think too much about it, after all, the video is precious, you'll know if you just watch it.

Kevin is not surprised by watching videos online.

Because it is already possible to watch videos on the Internet in this era, but it is just inconvenient.

But the way the video is presented this time is completely different from the past.

It's a pity that Kevin is not an Internet practitioner, so he is not sensitive to this, and now he just wants to click on the video.

So he followed the instructions on the website, clicked on the triangle, and soon, a video that turned countless hunks in later generations began to play.

I saw that the scene in the video should be a zoo-like place, and a staff member in a blue conservation suit is carrying bundles of bamboo.

In the process of carrying, a panda cub hugged the staff's leg playfully.

The baby panda's move directly melted Kevin's heart.

So cute!
I want to be hugged like this too!

But the staff in the video obviously didn't like it.

Because it will affect his work.

So Kevin saw the staff pick up the baby panda and put it on a high platform, while he continued to work.

But how could the baby panda give up? I saw it trying to climb down the high platform, accidentally fell and rolled over, but it didn't care, and continued to twist its fat body and ran to the staff with all its strength. It's hugging that thigh.

At this moment, Kevin's heart was hit again!
He has completely forgotten what he said at the beginning.

The giant pandas are only read by children.

No, I didn't say that!

The video continued, and the staff was hugged again, which is of course not possible, because the work has not yet been done.

So he cruelly put the giant panda on a higher and farther platform again.

But the giant panda is like a baby who can't live without his father. Even if there are many difficulties and dangers in front of him, he still wants to return to his father's embrace.

So Kevin saw the giant panda fall three somersaults this time before hugging the thigh again.

But the staff seemed to be hard-hearted, and this time they put the giant pandas far away.

The giant panda, on the other hand, continued its career of "begging for a hug". This time, it managed to hug its thigh after falling five times.

Looking at the aggrieved baby panda, Kevin wanted to scold the staff member: How can you bear it! !
Fortunately, this time the work of the staff is over, and he finally has time to play with the baby panda.

It was also at this time that Kevin discovered that after the staff member took off his mask, it was actually Joey!

Afterwards, a short one-minute video ended.

And Kevin finally understood why Joey said not to be jealous at this moment.

But it didn't work because I was already jealous!
So, I don't watch the Grammys!
I want to see giant pandas! !
But before that, he had to watch other videos first.

Because this time Joey released more than one.

Oh yes, I have to let my friends see it too.

I can't just be jealous, right? . .

. . . . . .

Never underestimate the power of the Internet to communicate.

The previous success of "The Blair Witch" is a good example.

The key is that high-quality content will never lack attention, let alone in this barbaric era.

At this time in early 2001, Laomei was the country with the most developed Internet, and half of the Internet households nationwide.

But even so, it will take several years for video websites to officially come out, and even blogs have not formed a formal collective name in this era.

So if you look around, how many websites support online video playback on the global Internet?

The answer is one, the unnamed video site that Jiang Yan prepared for his fans.

That's four years before YouTube.

Then the next answer is also obvious. How many videos can be played online on the global Internet?
The answer is: eight.

These are the eight videos uploaded by Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan uploaded 8 video links on his blog.

Due to technical and current network speed limitations, each video is only about 1 minute long, but this is completely enough.

Because the content is basically the same, all of them are cute animals from Bashu Giant Panda Research Center.

There are pandas climbing trees, some rolling and playing, and five or six pandas chasing Jiang Yan together for hugs, all of them can make everyone cute.

And during this period, as long as you click on the webpage, you can basically see these eight videos.

And these videos can get high clicks and high reposts on the video websites of later generations, attracting countless people to say that they can't stand it, let alone in this era.

The appearance of "big cute things" on the Internet, accompanied by the publicity of Jiang Yan's hardcore fans in Europe and America, coupled with the simple and convenient web video playback website, within one night, Joey and the giant panda became popular all over the United States, and became popular all over the United States. The first generation of Internet celebrities who became old and beautiful.

Not only that, the full version of the one-hour "Joey's Bashu Giant Panda Conservation Experience" was also arranged by Warner, and was broadcast on several mainstream media outlets.

In the one-hour full version, in addition to the appearance of cute things, Quentin and Enya, Jiang Yan will also use Jiang Yan's direct perspective to introduce the current progress and difficulties of giant panda protection to the audience.

All in all it's a routine but very engaging documentary.

The combination of the Internet and traditional media, coupled with the increasing popularity of the Grammys in recent times.

This also made Jiang Yan's popularity directly reach its peak in Laomei.

Everyone loves giant pandas, envies and hates that Asian boy, and then invites friends to come and see, and the phenomenon of human-to-human transmission expands again.

At the same time, Warner's various media outlets also began to report on the show.

As a result, countless people quickly shouted "Mom, I want a giant panda", and because of this, they learned a lot of common sense knowledge that should have been known long ago.

What? The singer of "you are beautiful" turned out to be a Chinese? !
What? Joey beat the Dream Team? !

What? Joey can sing? !
what. . .

Under the influence of Internet information flow, countless people now know that Joey is such a god.

The specific performance is that Jiang Yan's personal blog has directly soared from about 3 hits per day to 300 million in a day, and even continues to rise.

At the same time, several zoos with giant pandas, such as Washington and Atlanta, also ushered in a super passenger flow peak on the second day.

This made the zoo very confused: this is not a festival. . .

Such a grand occasion has in turn attracted many other media.

So everyone followed the clues and found out that it all came from Joey!

So who is Joey?

So the old American people started a new round of "What?! It turns out..."

In addition to discussing the video itself and Joey himself, because of the emergence of "personal blog" and "video website", the media in the technology circle also got off the stage.

In addition, Jiang Yan originally had a lot of popularity in the basketball circle, so this time, Jiang Yan made it out of the circle for the first time in Laomei. . .

. . . . . . .

What kind of experience is going out of the circle.

In this regard, Jiang Yan already has the right to speak.

In short, almost all media will keep up with your big traffic ship.

Follow the report, have food to eat, it's that simple.

And the composition of this large flow ship is relatively solid.

The popularity of the Grammys, the popularity of two giant pandas coming to Laomei in December 00, and the popularity of the extremely lethal video released by Jiang Yan on the Internet.

In short, this kind of heat cannot be dissipated within a few days.

One more sentence: Never underestimate the communication power of the Internet!

At the same time, I also want to remind you: never underestimate the power of capital!
Jiang Yan became the first Internet celebrity, and at the same time, with Warner's full support in the media, it can be said that it is not a problem to want to be famous, not to mention that he has already been famous, and what he is doing now is to regain the popularity that has fallen in the past two or three years.

The actual effect is also very gratifying, because he really completed the heat rescue, and even surpassed and crushed the opponent.

"The most enviable person in the world!"

A mainstream newspaper posted a big headline on the front page.

The photo below is Jiang Yan surrounded by six giant panda cubs, and Jiang Yan is smiling very happily.

At this moment, many singers who were nervously waiting for the opening of the Grammys put down the newspapers in their hands, with helpless expressions on their faces.

The two hottest things in the United States these days, one is the upcoming Grammy, and the other is the giant panda video that pops up suddenly.

These two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, but because of Jiang Yan's presence, the popular Grammy singers feel like they are on the verge of a formidable enemy.

Joey has such a high level of enthusiasm relying on a few giant pandas, which makes them feel like a fool for running around and making announcements these days.

In an office of Universal Music, the manager of a certain singer complained to a manager of Universal Music: "How much money did Warner spend? Are you afraid that you won't be able to get back the money if you do this?"

However, the manager didn't speak, and the singer said very unconvinced: "What's the use of spending money? The singer has to speak with his strength!"

As a result, the manager of Universal asked quietly, "Is Joey not strong?", and the singer immediately shut down.

Joey's strength is very strong, the singer has nothing to say, but as a pop singer, being cool is his label, so he smiled disdainfully, saying that he will let him be strong, and I will not hang him anyway!

But this also made the manager directly frown: "Joey is a little less popular. He is Chinese, which is his weakness. Now, everyone in the United States likes him. My children want to ask him for pandas, so why don't you Can you laugh?"

The manager was angry, it was about his job, the singer finally became more honest: "...then what should I do?"

"What should I do? Go home and pray!"

singer:"..."

The manager shook his head. He didn't say something but he knew it in his heart. In fact, he felt that Joey basically won this time.

Grammy is also about profit.

When a pop star can bring them great benefits, the old guys at the Grammys will naturally give corresponding care.

These factors actually contributed to the fact that Joey won the best newcomer last year, because people valued the Chinese market.

And this year, Joey is inexplicably popular, and Joey's works and strengths in all aspects are indeed strong, so the Grammys will not sit idly by.

In this way, the previous thought of not taking Joey seriously has to be a thing of the past.

He felt that from now on, Joey could be classified as a "major threat".

On the other side, Jiang Yan, who just got off the plane, also heard about the period that happened in this day.

Jiang Yan is no stranger to the fact that Internet communication has made people popular overnight.

After a few years this happens almost every hour.

But other people naturally don't see it that way.

They feel that this is a bit too subversive.

This is unreasonable!
But no matter how unreasonable, as long as the result is good, it is acceptable.

And the results seem to be better than expected.

Because Warner Henry said that the Grammys had revealed the news.

Jiang Yan's super popularity has raised the attention of Grammy to a higher level. This time it is a win-win situation, so Jiang Yan can basically return with a full reward this time.

Hearing this, Jiang Yan smiled and nodded.

He is very satisfied with the result.

Of course, what he is more satisfied with is the effect after his personal blog and video website are released.

Xiang Yan, the small target, told him when he was on the plane that capital had already been found, and five of them were interested in video sites.

Obviously, although Jiang Yan said that this is just a website for fans, Lao Mei has no shortage of knowledgeable people.

So it's that simple to make money.

As for how to make money, this is Xiang Yan's business.

As a time traveler, he has already planned how to clean himself up and maintain the best interests.

So this time, it really is going to be a rewarding experience!
