Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 16 The Water Army Team Needs Talent

On the afternoon of November 11, Li Wenyu stood at the gate of Beijing Film Academy again, his mood fluctuating a little. He had been away for several months, including the filming period in Tsuen Wan by the sea, which meant he had been away from campus for half a year.

Of course, before his rebirth, he was already a veteran who had been away from campus for twenty or thirty years.

After a moment of thought, he grabbed his phone and dialed, "Old Yu, I'm back. If you're ready, I'll treat you to dinner. Let's have a meal together."

The one he mentioned was one of the students in the ground-pushing water army that Lao Yu was looking for, named Yu Bo. Like him, he was from the class of 99 at the Beijing Film Academy, but the other one was from the Department of Acting, a different department.

Nortel is only this big.

Even if we count all the directors, actors, screenwriters, photographers, artists, and so on in the same class, how many people are there in total? The class of 99 has been here for a long time, so naturally they have their own friends. The thing that made him most speechless about Lao Yu in his previous life was...

This guy had a hobby of spending a lot of money to buy courtyard houses in the early 00s. At first, a group of people laughed at him, but as time went on, everyone was dumbfounded.

This water corps was just established, and if used well, it can be used for many years!

Lao Yu was one of the navy leaders he favored.

Yu Bole said on the other side of the phone, "Okay, what crew did you go with? You've been gone for two or three months. Is your name Lao Ling? I just happen to be with him now."

Before he came back, he had already chatted with his acquaintances on Penguin, asking everyone to wait in advance and help with viral promotion on the Internet.

Li Wenyu, "..."

The famous scene of "You're so flirty" flashed through his mind instinctively. After thinking for a few seconds, he responded, "Scream, and I'll feed you."

Lao Ling is a talented guy, but he actually likes weirdos like Yao Dazui.

Moreover, he and Dazui were already together. Li Wenyu didn't want to have anything to do with someone like Dazui, but he remembered that he had a good relationship with Ling Xiaosu during their school days.

Lao Ling had helped him submit scripts twice during his senior year, but the quality of the scripts back then was not good...

…………

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Li Wenyu slipped out of Teacher Zhang's office and arrived at the entrance of the dormitory building. He met Yu Bo, Ling Xiaosu, Huang Xiaolei, Ye Jing, several classmates from the undergraduate acting class, as well as Zhang Songwen from the 00 vocational class, and his roommate, screenwriter Lao Wang.

When he was reborn and started to develop the seaside Tsuen Wan into a Hong Kong Island, he thought that he might need to go to Hong Kong Island to make his first pot of gold in the future, so he found Zhang Songwen and tried to learn Cantonese from him for a few days.

It turned out to be of little use, and he still needed a professional translator.

Language is also a life skill, and you can easily master it by accumulating fifty or sixty points of free attributes.

But at this early stage of rebirth, his Cantonese skills were not worth spending more than 60 points at once, and improving his English, French, etc. was not in his plan for the next few years.

I was learning in vain, but I became familiar with Zhang Songwen. In addition, Zhang's reputation and image are still good after more than 20 years, so we became friends.

Seeing some familiar classmates and roommate Lao Wang, Li Wenyu waved them and said, "Let's go to Donglaishun. I'm fine with you eating your way out today. After you finish eating, I'll take you to work."

Huang Xiaolei is a girl here, but she's always been carefree and has a personality similar to that of the boys. She said bluntly, "Old Li, have you made a fortune? You look much richer this time after coming back with the crew. What's the point of being a screenwriter and taking directing classes? The guys in our 99 acting department are all ugly and have been waiting for you to come back to support the team for a long time."

"If you get caught, you'll just be a minor character in the crew. If you don't know how to act, we'll teach you."

As she spoke, she patted Yu Bo, who gritted his teeth and complained, "We are all what you call mismatched, right? Except for Lao Zhang."

Zhang Songwen was a 00-level vocational student. In fact, he was the oldest, a few months older than Yu Bo, who was also 25 years old. He was also the best tour guide in eastern Guangdong. He quickly laughed and said, "No, you are all handsome guys, and I am the only one who is a loser. Just don't discriminate against me."

Amidst the group's laughter, Li Wenyu directly gave Ling Xiaosu and Yu Bo a hundred yuan each. "Stop talking nonsense. Take a taxi to Donglaishun. Do something for me and I'll pay you."

He also knew that once the business got underway and these guys learned the truth...they'd probably no longer be interested in the daily salary of a troll army leader. An average troll army would spend a day at an internet cafe posting "12-22-08" dozens of times, earning ten yuan.

These six water army leaders are responsible for running around to check the posting results to see if there are any water army members who are falsely reporting and cheating money. The minimum salary should be at least 50 yuan a day.

The standard is almost half the daily salary of ordinary water soldiers in Hong Kong Island.

As several people sighed again, "It seems that Li Wenyu has really made a fortune," the group of seven took three taxis to eat mutton hotpot.

During the meal, he also began to introduce the tasks at the dinner table. Everyone went to the Internet cafe to look for Internet addicts, and earned ten yuan a day to go to various Internet sites.

Including the BBS of various famous schools, which have been posting the number combination of 12-22-08.

In addition to typing on the keyboard, you can also write a string of numbers on paper, take a photo and send it, etc. After listening to the task, each person will receive a 50 yuan water army leader fee per day?

Ling Xiaosu listened like a 100-pound fool, "If it's not Lao Li, what are you doing? What's the point of posting these?"

Li Wenyu looked at Yu Bo and Zhang Songwen, who seemed lost in thought, and raised his glass. "Don't worry about this for now. You'll know when the time comes. 50 yuan a day, if you work for 10 days, that's 500 yuan. It won't affect your classes, so why not make money?"

At the end of 2001, yuan for ten days was a lot as a part-time job.

This is only early November, and 11 yuan is a considerable income for a month and a half that lasts until late December.

If you just want to promote a movie, it doesn't take 40 to 50 days to plan and promote it once the water army reaches a certain scale and creates heated discussions on the entire network.

What Li Wenyu wanted was to break out of the Internet and into reality. After all, there were only more than 2001 million Internet users in China in 2000.

More than 2000 million netizens is not a small number, but it is not too small either. It cannot be compared with the million and billion users of Big Penguin later. Only when the online discussion becomes more and more intense and netizens talk about this topic with their colleagues and classmates after they go offline, can more people be curious about this number.

You should know that in 2002, there were nearly 6000 million Internet users in China, and the growth rate was extremely terrifying.

In response to the guys' various questions, he didn't reveal the secrets but just talked about some tricks. After dinner, he took a few people to a nearby Internet cafe and performed some operations on the spot.

I added some Penguin accounts of netizens who were willing to be water armies.

Pay first, and you can check the results at this time tomorrow evening and continue to pay for next day.

After the whole thing is over, he will ask Zhang Guorong for six slightly larger red envelopes to give to several classmates. Now the 100 million yuan of publicity and promotion funds are all taken by Brother Rong.

After the group finished the first wave and walked out of the internet cafe, Li Wenyu gave each of them 50 yuan while passing out cigarettes. "I'm the one pushing this thing, and the funds are from the boss. I'll apply for a big red envelope for you when we celebrate."

Zhang Songwen smiled as he smoked a cigarette, "Such a simple part-time job, 500 for ten days? 1500 a month. Ah Yu, don't worry, we will definitely do our best."

Lao Zhang, a veteran who had worked in society for many years before joining Beijing Film Academy, really understands that this is a good job.

Li Wenyu waved his hand. "Okay, please. Just use the lunch break and after-dinner time to promote it. It won't interfere with classes. I'll take you to celebrate afterwards."

"If you have friends who also want to do this job, you can also recommend them to me."

After he hailed a taxi and left, the six Beijing Film Academy classmates looked at each other in confusion again.

Then Huang Xiaolei started yelling again, "Old Li has changed a lot! In just one summer vacation and the past two or three months of school, he doesn't live in the dormitory anymore?"

A roommate named Lao Wang scratched his head, confused.

Yu Bo smiled and said, "Everyone will grow up after working in the society. Let's go back to school."
