Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Chapter 37 Opening a social account and verification
"You can open a Weibo account. You can also join some mainstream social media platforms."

The cause was something Chu Zhongtian said to Xia Yuan.

"Open a Weibo account? I have a Weibo account."

Xia Yuan was a little confused for a moment.

Of course he has Weibo, although he doesn't use it much and doesn't open it often because he really doesn't like the environment there.

Really, the extremely huge flow of people and the barrier-free registration method have led to a large amount of traffic on this platform, but it is also destined to be a place where all kinds of people come, and the official supervision is itself very poor.

This has led to the Weibo environment becoming notoriously bad, so bad that it has even been called the "Internet toilet."

But you have to admit that you must have this thing in your mobile phone and you must have an account. Not for any reason, but to check out the trending searches when you have free time. Weibo trending searches are still the first-hand source of hot information.

Unless you want to be a primitive man, you have to use this toilet with your nose pinched.

And it is even more necessary for people like them in this profession.

After all, when working in the arts and sports, one must also maintain the amount of information and the degree of update of one's information to a certain extent.

"That's not what I meant."

Chu Zhongtian was a little helpless and explained: "What I mean is that you need to move in and get certified.

You are a public figure now, after all. You have made some films. You are a director and you have your own Weibo account. You can use it to market your image or accumulate traffic, which you can use in the future, such as promoting new films. The same goes for other social media platforms.”

Chu Zhongtian took out his mobile phone, opened his Weibo account, and showed it to Xia Yuan.

"Look, I was certified some time ago, and now I have over 100,000 followers, and this is without buying any fans or marketing."

Looking closely, it turned out to be a certified yellow V account with Chu Zhongtian's name written on it.

"Oh oh oh oh." Xia Yuan finally reacted.

There was no way he could get used to this change. After all, not many people knew him not long ago.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, what Chu Zhongtian said is right. A social platform is very important for celebrities and public artists, especially front-stage people such as actors and singers.

After all, celebrities make a living by popularity, and their popularity determines everything, including their income.

If you are cool, your income will be low.

If you are popular, you will earn more money.

Therefore, many celebrities and artists will try their best to market and maintain their popularity in order to increase public recognition.

Otherwise, haven’t you seen that a certain celebrity will pop up on the hot search list from time to time, and a trivial matter can stay on the hot search for half a day?
It's all about heat.

But Xia Yuan actually doesn't like this approach very much.

In his opinion, living like this is actually too fake, because the way you present yourself to the public and the way you actually are in reality are sometimes not exactly the same.

Moreover, he is a director, and he still thinks that as a director, why do you do so much marketing? Isn't it more practical to shoot your own works well?

In fact, the same is true for actors. Xia Yuan is actually particularly disgusted with the current situation of domestic entertainment. People focus not on professional ability but on popularity, as if ability is no longer important in this circle.
Well, in fact, part of the reason is that he is also a high-intensity online surfer on weekdays, and has confronted people on Weibo and some short video platforms.

Then, because of some of his own remarks, he was chased and scolded by some netizens who seemed to have some problems with their brains.

But no matter how disgusted I am, what Chu Zhongtian said is still very true. Having a social account will indeed make many things much more convenient.

For example, his current works have gained a certain degree of popularity, and the name 'Xia Yuan' is no longer recognized. After he finishes filming some works, he can also promote them himself, which means just moving his fingers and writing some copy. Why not?

So he started to work on certification.

It was impossible for him to use the old account. He also didn't want his life and work to be mixed up. That would make life too tiring.

Besides, there are too many things in it and I am too lazy to delete them one by one, so I might as well create a new account.

Social platform authentication is very simple. For people like them, they just need to find the administrator of the platform and prepare a series of authentication materials including their ID card.

However, the ridiculous thing was that just when Xia Yuan was about to register a new account, he was stunned.

Because the system prompts that the name is already taken.

[Your nickname has been used, please choose your nickname again]

"?"

Xia Yuan slowly typed a question mark, then clicked into the search bar. When he searched, a large number of Xia Yuans popped up, at least dozens of them.

There is [Xia Yuan]

【Director Xia Yuan】

【Tyrannosaurus Brother Xia Yuan】

【Xia Yuan 1】

【AAA professional director Xia Yuan】

[Xia Yuan's clone: ​​Dong Jin/Live broadcast on Douyin and Kuaishou at 8pm every night, Tyrannosaurus Brother's imitation show, see you there]

"Bush, Gomen." Xia Yuanren was numb.

Are you guys all that fast?

Then I clicked on it and saw that there were phishing messages, those scam ads.

There is also one from Fahuang.com.

There are even a few replicants.

How long has it been since then, and he already has a clone? Has someone already opened up his track?

The so-called clones, as the name suggests, are those who imitate some celebrities and start live broadcasts on short video platforms. Now, many clones have emerged and a large number of unexpected clones have emerged.

Xia Yuan couldn't come up with a name, so he tried for a long time before finally settling on one.

[Xia Yuan who can’t be named]

By repeating the test, it can be used.

Only then could he contact the administrator of Weibo for authentication.

Soon, his account was successfully authenticated.

There was a yellow V sign behind his nickname and avatar.

'Xia Yuan Who Can't Be Named'

'Certification: Director Xia Yuan, representative works: "Vulgar Comedy", "Master". '

At the same time, in his first update, he also posted a video of himself entering the platform. In addition to asking fans to pay more attention to it, he also emphasized in the video that this is his only account, and other accounts are fake. Please don't be fooled, fans.

Finally, he also @ed Chu Zhongtian, Luo Qingning, Zhou Yisen and others, and also @ed the official account of Heye Film and Television.

In this video, he shot the same copy many times, posted it on different platforms, and repeated the above steps several times.

Soon, as the account passed the review, Xia Yuan's fans increased at a speed visible to the naked eye. The data changed almost every time he refreshed the page.

The same goes for dynamic comments, likes and reposts, and I quickly integrated into a group of people.

"Blind landing successful, blow up the command center!"

"Look what I found? A wild Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

"Hello, Tyrannosaurus."

"It's Director Xia. Did you finally open an account? I am now considered a fan of Director Xia. I just watched your "Pulp Comedy". This movie is really good. I almost died of laughter. I hope to see your sequel soon."

"Fuck, I've actually been scammed by those fake accounts. Not long ago, a very similar account sent me a link, and I really believed it, so I clicked on it and was scammed out of fifty dollars."

"Don't leave upstairs, I'm going to sell you health products when you get old!"

"It's been a long time since I've seen such an amazing new director. He can be the chief director and direct a movie right after his debut, and his first work has grossed over 1 billion yuan."

"Sure enough, these newcomers are all monsters."

"No, am I the only one who noticed it? In the authentication information, besides "Vulgar Comedy", there is another movie title called "Master"."

"I noticed that, too. Could it be a previous work? But I searched for it, but found nothing."
