Top Chinese celebrity: Debuted from Running Man

Chapter 59: Entering the Ancient Style Circle?
……

……

The moment the phone screen lit up, Gu Qing almost didn't recognize the person on the other end.

Chen Chichi slumped in his gaming chair, his face weathered, with thick dark circles under his eyes and unshaven stubble, giving him a very unkempt appearance.

"Xiao Gu, thank you."

A hoarse voice mixed with static came through as Chen Chichi suddenly leaned closer to the camera, his bloodshot eyes revealing gratitude, "You're the first person to help me share this."

Although afterwards,

Old Deng and Wang Baoqiang also helped to forward it.

However, in terms of influence, it is far less than that of Gu Qing, who is currently at the top of the entertainment industry.

It can be said,
It was thanks to Gu Qing's help that Chen Chichi was not overwhelmed by the overwhelming public opinion.

In particular, female fans make up the majority of Gu Qing's fan base.

Even a simple repost carries immense pressure; how could Chen Chichi not be moved?
"Brother Chichi, you didn't really cheat on your partner. You just lied to your fans to create a persona."

Gu Qing propped her phone up on the table and said self-deprecatingly, "Besides, which celebrity in the entertainment industry doesn't use a persona to deceive fans?"
The image I project to my fans is, in a way, created for me by the production team.

"Anyway, thank you, Xiao Gu."

As he spoke, Chen Chichi's eyes reddened. "I'm sorry to you all. The production team of the next season of Running Man is in talks with me, so I might as well not participate."

"Is it the production team that's preventing you from participating?"

Gu Qing frowned and said, "If you're not here, what's the point of Running Man?"

If Wang Baoqiang's departure from the first season of Running Man only reduced the show's popularity, then...

But the ratings for Running Man...
It still tops all other variety shows.

The real core of Running Man is actually the duo of Deng Chao and Chen He.

After the two of them left the show, Running Man lost all its highlights and became just an old-fashioned variety show where celebrities played house.

"Xiao Gu, am I that important?" Chen Chichi lost his confidence.

“Brother Chi, don’t underestimate your role. I’ll arrange for my agent to communicate with Running Man. As long as you don’t want to leave, we can continue filming together.”

Gu Qing said very seriously.

"Let's keep filming..."

Chen Chichi's nose felt a little sore.

I spent some time chatting with the man who was about to enter middle age.

After agreeing to play League of Legends together again, Gu Qing hung up the phone amidst Chen Chichi's reluctant attempts to persuade him to stay.

After that,

The film crew's days proceeded smoothly.

Gu Qing originally wanted to film quietly.
But every time I finish filming, I can't feel good when I see myself trending on my blog.

What is most important for a popular celebrity?
Of course, it's "exposure"!
Basically, they maintain their popularity and traffic by having a small trending topic every three days and a big trending topic every seven days.

Gu Qing naturally had no objection to this.

Unfortunately, the trending topics bought by the agency were all about outrageous things.

For example: [Gu Qing's Nine-Square Grid], [Gu Qing's Exclamation about the Good Weather], [Gu Qing's Photos of Dinner]...

Who are you showing this kind of trending topic to?!
Seeing her own name trending on social media, Gu Qing couldn't help but think of those speechless internet celebrities from her past life.

He was covered in ants!

Besides damaging public image, these trending topics do nothing to attract followers.

"Xiaoya, please contact Sister Li for me and ask her to stop these trending topics for now. I will be responsible for vetting all the trending topics I buy in the future."

Gu Qing sent a voice message.

A short while later, his phone rang.

Gu Qing's agent, Li Li, called and earnestly tried to persuade him.

"Sister Li, I'm not asking the company to stop buying trending topics. I mean, if we're going to trend, could we at least choose one that will pique the curiosity of ordinary people?"

Gu Qing explained.

"But how are we supposed to know what trending topics ordinary people like to see?"

Li Li was at a loss.

"I'll take care of that."

Gu Qing said, "Didn't you tell me before that a video platform called Bilibili invited me to join?"

"Qingqing, didn't you say before that there was no need to go?" Li Li asked in confusion. "You also said that it's just a bunch of freeloading anime kids there, and they won't spend any money on you."

"That was before, but now..."

Gu Qing sighed inwardly, "I still have to go back to the embrace of my poor buddies."

previous life,

Although he is a Bilibili content creator, he still hates the operation of his own platform.

Not just him,

Even Abi's users are constantly criticizing the operations team.

They are all examples of people who hate as deeply as they love.

Originally, having transmigrated to another life, and becoming a top celebrity,

Gu Qingdu was determined to completely sever ties with A-B's poor friends.

He'd had enough of these anime brats.

It's one thing to like getting things for free, but they also prevent content creators from accepting ads and selling products.

If any content creator accepts commercial orders or promotes products, they will be criticized for losing their original intentions and subjected to large-scale boycotts.

The most classic examples are 'extreme comment control' and 'targeting commercial deals', where people criticize brands to prevent them from giving content creators commercial deals.

You are unwilling to donate coins to support us.

They don't even allow content creators to take on commercial projects to earn money, and then they complain that the quality of their videos is getting worse and worse.

That's truly the height of perversion.

Fortunately, putting aside these overpowered individuals...

While Abi may have many poor guys, it also has an advantage that other platforms cannot have.

That is: highly loyal fans with strong fighting spirit!
Putting aside the real money,
My poor friend is truly willing to give me all his support!

For example: free likes, free votes, free comments, free video editing...

They were all very enthusiastic and didn't mind the trouble.

While the entertainment industry may seem powerful, everyone is in competition with each other.

Seeing you in trouble, they'd rather stab you in the back than offer a helping hand.

Their actual combat strength is pitifully weak.

Gu Qing has already made up her mind.
First, buy your way onto Abi's trending topics list, then remove all your designer brands and shoot a relatable short video.
Praise anime and mention one or two favorite popular characters to increase your sense of identification; this is sure to give all the poor guys a collective thrill.

Once Xiaohongshu is launched in the future,
He will continue to focus on flaunting his wealth, and his blog will then primarily be a business platform.

At that time, the three gods will unite as one!

If he can't get ahead, who can?

If you can win over the fans of these three platforms, you'll be able to dominate the entire Chinese entertainment industry without any problem!

quickly,

The company contacted Abi's official team and helped Gu Qing create a dedicated account.

They even added some special effects to it, making it unique across the entire platform.

Upon learning that top influencer 'Gu Qing' had joined the platform, Xiao Chen's mouth was practically stretched into a grin:
"I, the little mouse, am going to get rich!"

No need for the company to buy trending searches

Abi has already started to exert its strength, directly spending a lot of money to dominate the trending search list.

then,

He then went to explain to Gu Qing's agent why the platform wanted him to join.

It turns out that after "Just Met You" became popular,
The Chinese style content creators in Abi's circle really like his work, so they collectively did a cover version, which received a good number of views.

This is one of the reasons why A-B tried to invite him.

Don't underestimate the niche appeal of the traditional Chinese style community; the money they generate is absolutely top-tier, on a completely different level from those poor guys who just hug anime pillows and whine.

This is what a 'high-quality fan' looks like!

"If we can turn casual observers in the traditional Chinese style community into fans, wouldn't that be a meteoric rise?"

Just right,

He has a killer song that's guaranteed to wipe out Abi!
