Chapter 38 A wave of “viral videos”

After hanging up the phone with Taylor, Ryan made a simple edit of the "Harlem Shake" video he shot in a nightclub a few hours ago, and uploaded it to the "Dr. Ray Official Account" on YouTube. The previous official versions of Tremor and Harlem Shake were also uploaded to YouTube.

The next morning, Ryan was surprised to find that the Harlem Shake version commissioned by the sorority appeared directly on NYU's official YouTube account, with the title changed to "Crazy Weekend at the Sorority."

It is not uncommon for university official YouTube accounts to post spoof videos. What surprised Ryan was that this sorority was quite powerful.

He called Elizabeth immediately.

"Really? I just gave this video to the vice president, and she posted it on the official YouTube account?" Elizabeth also expressed surprise.

It seems that all this was the vice president's idea... Ryan thanked Elizabeth, hung up the phone, and called the vice president.

"Yes, I think this video is quite interesting, although I don't like the song very much. I happened to know the student representative who operates this account, so I sent it to her. By the way, why didn't Piero answer my call?" The vice president suddenly mentioned Piero again.

"He's been busy these past two days. He's a model. I actually know other models..."

"Tell him to call me back." The vice president interrupted Ryan directly.

Looks like I have to inconvenience you again, Piero.

"If possible, you can shoot a few more versions and the songs can be found on paid platforms." Ryan made a new request.

"Then I have no choice." The vice president refused.

"I can give you money." Ryan said directly.

"Stop joking. How could I use the school's account to make money?" The vice president sneered on the other end of the phone.

"That's not what I meant." Ryan quickly changed his words: "But I can ask Piero to give you some gifts, such as lipstick, clothes, etc...."

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone.

"I prefer Chanel's Rouge Allure series, especially coral No. 22, and..." After a while, the vice president continued.

Next, Ryan carefully wrote down her requests. As a college student, the vice president did not ask for anything with an outrageous price, so the total price was still acceptable.

“Also, I’d like to have chapters at other schools do similar photo shoots,” Ryan began slowly.

The other end of the phone fell silent again. Although the vice president did not agree, he did not refuse either.

At the end of the call, Ryan asked an additional question.

"I want to ask for the last name of Elizabeth who contacted me," Ryan said.

"Why do you care about this? This is someone else's privacy."

"Nothing, just pure curiosity."

For the sake of money, the vice president told Ryan the answer: "Her sister is the Olsen sister."

Ryan suddenly realized. No wonder she looked so familiar to him. The Olsen sisters were well-known child stars in the American television industry in the 90s. They left a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame after entering the new century. In the following years, they continued to invest in and star in movies.

But like most child stars, the Olsen sisters also face the pain of transition as they grow older. After their seventh film, which they invested in and produced in 2003, failed at the box office, the twins did something that seemed very strange at the time and was later imitated by many stars - star entrepreneurship.

Dualstar, a company jointly controlled by the sisters, has launched a series of products for the youth market since 2004. Among them, the clothing series focuses on the teenage female market and is sold in more than stores nationwide, including Walmart, and more than stores worldwide.

Since then, the sisters have completely transformed into fashion design and launched the luxury brand The Row, which is sold in thirty-seven countries around the world.

Last year, the sisters were ranked 1th on Forbes' list of the richest women in the entertainment industry, with a net worth of about $ million.

"No wonder she deliberately avoided her last name," Ryan said. In a sense, Elizabeth Olsen is in the same situation as Austin Swift. Elizabeth may be under greater pressure. She is younger, taller, and more beautiful than her two sisters. In addition to pressure, she also gets help.

After graduating from Tisch School of the Arts, she should have tried to enter Hollywood, but unfortunately...

"Yes, that's it. It's like an electric shock. You can twist it however you want." Ryan directed like a director.

"Will this really work?" Abigail still seemed a little hesitant.

"Look at Austin, you have to achieve a similar effect." Ryan pointed to his brother Tyler next to him.

At this moment, Austin was like a maggot, crawling forward on the ground in a chrysalis.

"Ryan, look at this, it must be qualified." Paul was pushing his waist forward and backward.

"If you were given a female donkey, you would act more like it," Ryan joked.

"It must be a pretty female donkey!" Paul nodded.

Everyone laughed, and at this time, on the playground, the football team and some of Ryan's friends were filming another version of the Harlem Shake.

Ryan continued to check the screen. Abigail seemed to have something to say to him, but after thinking about it, she didn't speak.

"I'll be busy these few days. I'll accompany you in two days." Ryan said without raising his head.

"Yeah." Abigail nodded heavily.

"Let's see how it works?" Terry plugged the USB drive into the computer.

The video inside was the office version of Harlem Shake shot at the filming company. Ryan mobilized everyone he could, including Terry. When Terry heard about this idea, she didn't say much and took out the filmed version tonight.

As expected of a director, the version provided by Trey has been edited and can be uploaded directly.

"Can I post from your private account?" Ryan asked tentatively.

Trey shrugged: "The premise is that I can remember the password of my personal account." Then she changed the subject: "I also contacted Billy Ray Cyrus today. I shot his MV for "Real Gone". You should know his daughter Hannah Montana..."

"Her name is Mai Li," Ryan reminded.

If the Olsen sisters were household name child stars ten years ago, then Mal is the Olsen sisters of today, a teen idol promoted by Disney.

She played a high school rock star in the Disney Channel's "Hannah Montana". In order to hide her identity from her classmates, a series of hilarious plots emerged. The show was very popular among teenage audiences.

Outside the show, Miley Cyrus also released an album under the stage name Hannah Montana, which sold 32 copies in the first week last year and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 album chart. Taylor's first album only sold tens of thousands of copies in the first week, so it's not an exaggeration to say that she was crushed.

Of course, this is inseparable from the promotion of Disney. As the saying goes, gifts from fate come with a hidden price. Now Disney has started a crazy exploitation mode. Mai Li's life is now completely occupied by filming and touring, and the bulk of the income goes to Disney.

In Ryan's opinion, Mai Li, who has been in a highly pressured state for a long time, has already suffered from "child star syndrome", that is, mental abnormality.

The news related to her are all some bullshit, such as her quarrel with her junior sister Selena Gomez in the media because of the love triangle with another Disney teen male idol, her computer was hacked and her private photos were posted on the Internet, she appeared in "Vanity Fair" to take nude photos, and finally she was forced to issue an apology statement. In short, she has lost her popularity.

"Don't interrupt. Her dad said that Hannah likes to shoot some videos on YouTube recently. I told her about you, but I'm not sure she will shoot it." Terry said.

Ryan was so excited that he hugged Trae and kissed her on the face.

Terry was stunned for a second, then chased Ryan madly.
