Chapter 12 I don’t have K!

Today is January 2018, 4.

Ye Lin suddenly remembered that "Neihan Duanzi" was going to be banned in a few days. Yes, it was on April 4th.

In my impression, 2017 was the first year of short videos. At that time, Douyin had not yet become popular on the entire Internet.

Douyin began to gain momentum in 2018, especially after "Neihan Duanzi" was banned, Douyin became the most popular short video APP on the entire Internet.

In 2019, Douyin began to build its own monetization system and prepared to take the route of selling goods, but at that time, it was more about selling goods through videos, with product links in the videos.

In 2020, Douyin’s live streaming of goods became popular, and until 2023, Douyin’s commercial monetization system will be considered fully mature.

Looking back, in fact, Douyin in the first half of 2018 was mainly based on the theme of "music short videos" to create some popular magical short music videos.

For example, the currently popular "Are You High Today", "PDD's Ancient Power", "Faded", and "Something Just Like This" etc...

"Hey, there is!"

Ye Lin suddenly had an idea. He remembered that there happened to be a very popular idea on Douyin during the time before he traveled through time.

"Fat brother, let me write you a list. Here are the props needed to shoot the video. You go prepare it today, and we can shoot it tomorrow!"

Ye Lin took a blank A4 paper and wrote a bunch of things on it.

Including a speaker, a microphone, a bass, clothing, and other miscellaneous props.

Fat Brother confirmed to Ye Lin again and again that these things were all necessary, and then went out to get ready.

"Yi Zi, what are you thinking about? How to shoot the next video? Tell me!"

Brother Bin looked at Ye Lin curiously.

"You will know tomorrow. If I tell you now, you will definitely doubt it."

Ye Lin smiled slightly and said that he would keep Brother Bin a secret for the time being, and he could just instruct Brother Bin on how to shoot tomorrow.

"Tch, it's so mysterious. Don't let it get thousands of views when the time comes!" Brother Bin said, "You don't want to say it, I don't want to hear it yet."

……

In their team of "Three People Media", each of the three brothers has his or her own areas of expertise.

In addition to investing money, Fat Brother also has three characteristics.

First, he is mature and stable, able to take on tasks, like the magic needle that fixes the sea.

The second is tactful, philistine, knows how to get things done, and is very good at dealing with social entertainment in various large and small occasions.

Third, he has a wide network of contacts, ranging from schools and government agencies to hardware stores and garbage recycling. He knows people from all walks of life.

If necessary, he can turn a stranger into a friend in just 3 minutes. This is what makes him special.

Therefore, it is most appropriate to leave the task of preparing props to Fat Brother.

For the same prop, if Ye Lin and Brother Bin were asked to look for it, they might not be able to find it even after dark.

But if you leave it to Fat Brother, you can probably just make a phone call and go directly to a friend's house.

"Okay, Ye Zi, I have found all the props you want for you. When will we start shooting tomorrow?"

At seven or eight o'clock in the evening, Brother Fat returned to the office with a bunch of props. Ye Lin and Brother Bin had already left work, so he sent a voice message to the three brothers' group to ask.

"Let's start preparations when we get to the company tomorrow. We'll go outside to find a place to shoot at about 10 o'clock!"

Ye Lin replied, thinking again in his mind whether he had missed anything.

"Okay, no problem, I'll come to the company early tomorrow!"

Fat Brother agreed, and he didn't ask what video Ye Lin wanted to shoot when he asked him to prepare so many props.

"I'll come early too!" Brother Bin also replied in the group.

……

the next day.

The three brothers all arrived at the company at 08:30.

As soon as Brother Bin arrived, he started checking the camera, lens, memory card and battery.Ye Linze was changing clothes. Today he was going to dress up in a rock and rap style.

Fat Brother said that these clothes were borrowed from a friend in a trendy brand store. Ye Lin understood immediately and said that they would not be stained by others, and we were not filming the Phoenix Dance for Nine Days.

"Are you almost ready? Let's go!"

At 09:30, Ye Lin set off with Fat Brother and Bin Brother. The stereo and bass were loaded into Fat Brother’s trunk.

Then we drove to a bridge, where the view was better.

The things were moved down and placed on the edge of the bridge. There were very few vehicles and pedestrians coming and going at the moment, and they would not hinder traffic.

"Yi Zi, are you going to make a singing video this time?"

Brother Bin looked at the big speaker and microphone and thought he had guessed what Ye Lin was thinking.

"Yes and no..." Ye Lin smiled mysteriously, and then called the two of them over, "I'll tell you how to shoot in a while."

"When the time comes, I will be like this...Brother Bin will just set up a camera to take a picture of me from the front, and then Brother Fat will take a cell phone to take a picture of me from the side from the perspective of a passerby, do you understand?"

Brother Bin and Brother Fat both understood Ye Lin's instructions and nodded.

OK, Brother Bin’s camera is in place, and Brother Fat’s passerby-view phone is also in place.

"Okay, get ready, 1, 2, 3, start!"

Brother Bin crossed his arms and pressed the video button.

Ye Lin was facing the camera, wearing a rock and roll hip-hop outfit and holding a bass on his chest with colorful English letters on it.

The letters range from A to N, except for the missing "K".

As Brother Bin shouted "Start", Ye Lin started his performance. He pointed to the letters on the bass on his chest and read:
"A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J...I don't have K?"

Then he picked up the microphone and shouted like he was crazy:
"I don't have a K!"

"I don't have a K!"

"I don't have a K, Bulubiu, Bulubiu~"

"Dinosaurs resist wolves, wolves resist~"

"Dinosaurs resist wolves, wolves resist~"

"Dinosaurs resist wolves, wolves resist~"

"Dinosaurs resist wolves, wolves resist..."

In conjunction with his magical dance moves, Brother Bin was immediately stunned.

Fat brother can't hold himself any longer. Damn it, Ye Zi, what are you doing?
Two young ladies happened to be walking by. Their eyes were all on Ye Lin, who was dancing and singing. The short-haired young lady covered her mouth and burst into laughter.

"OK, done!"

After a brief filming, Ye Lin stopped and told Brother Bin that the filming was finished.

Brother Bin is in a daze, huh?who I am?Where am I?Am I fucking a god or demon?

"How was it? How was the shooting? Let me take a look at the material!"

Ye Lin walked over and picked up the camera to check the video he just took.

After reading it quickly, he nodded with satisfaction. His acting skills were quite good. It would be a pity not to become an actor.

"No, Ye Zi, can you tell me what this picture is about? Why can't I understand it at all?"

Brother Bin's face is full of question marks. Damn it, those who know know that you are filming a short video, but those who don't know think you are going crazy!
"I don't understand either. Your performance art...is too advanced?"

Fat Brother said, I don’t understand, but I was shocked. You don’t look like a job that normal people can do.

"Hahaha, it's just that you can't understand it. If you can understand it, then this video will definitely not be popular!"

Ye Lin laughed and said that there was no music added when filming just now, so it seemed very awkward.

When you add the music of "Easy with Beauty" in the later stage, you will find...it's even more awkward!
