The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 46: It's Unacceptable to Do Something That Damages One's Image

Shen Jian talked with Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng for a long time.

After gradually becoming familiar with each other.

They also talked about things before their debut.

Shen Jian does not shy away from his past.

Village entrance, ditch, illiterate, social upheaval.

This is the road he came from.

Wang Jianguo patted Shen Jian on the shoulder, deeply moved:

"Oh, my friend, I didn't know you had it tough too. I like your frankness and honesty even more."

Shen Jian nodded, his face full of nostalgia: "Before I was born, my grandfather told me that a good man should have ambitions beyond his hometown."

[One more hilarious joke]

Ryogi: "???"

Yang Tianzhen: "???"

Shen Jian: "But after all these years, I feel that my efforts are not up to my grandfather's expectations. Even now, I still can't see the situation in Russia and Ukraine clearly, and I don't know how they can settle things. These past few days, I've been looking at maps and I've been having frequent urination at night."

[One more hilarious joke]

Ryogi: "???"

Yang Tianzhen: "..."

"Brother! Don't say that. Actually, you've already done very well." Xu Zhisheng stepped forward to comfort him: "You're still young. This isn't just your burden. The road ahead is long, and we'll analyze it slowly."

Wang Jianguo, with his square face, genuinely agreed.

In an instant, the three felt a mutual respect and camaraderie.

Shen Jian raised his iced tea: "My two elder brothers, I am not very well-educated. If you don't mind, I would like to become sworn brothers with you both today!"

Yang Tianzhen: "???"

Ryogi: "???"

[One more hilarious joke]

Wang Jianguo: "Brother, twins have the same mother."

Xu Zhisheng: "The three of us don't look like we're from the same place at all. How about we become sworn brothers?"

Shen Jian: "It doesn't matter, come on, eldest brother, second brother!"

Wang Jianguo: "Eldest brother, third brother!"

Xu Zhisheng: "Second brother, third brother!"

Shen Jian: "So that there will be no more gunpowder smoke in Russia, the Middle East, Syria, and other war-torn lands! Cheers!"

...

The whole afternoon.

People were coming and going in the reception room.

Many of the employees who came to watch burst into laughter and left.

If someone were to compile all the jokes these people told, the total would probably be enough to fill the entire company's entire year's worth of material.

It was clearly a scene of veteran actors instructing and teaching new actors.

In the end, it turned into a heart-to-heart talk between the three men.

Three women make a drama, but if three men get into a good chat and find common ground, it's like a brotherhood in the Peach Garden, where family matters, national affairs, and world affairs are all taken into account.

unstoppable.

night.

Yang Tianzhen personally escorted Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng back.

In the car, the two continued to praise Shen Jian from time to time.

You could tell that she wasn't saying that because she was there.

And it seems they genuinely believe Shen Jian is a promising talent.

Yang Tianzhen really couldn't help but ask:

"Do you guys really think this kid can do a talk show?"

Wang Jianguo smiled mysteriously: "President Yang, you seem to lack confidence in your artist, but he can do it."

Xu Zhisheng nodded seriously: "It's obvious that Third Brother is actually a master without realizing it."

Let me put it this way, we old stand-up comedians often try to capture that feeling of illiteracy, but ultimately, our acting can't compare to the natural talent. That's what talent is all about, isn't that amazing?

"...But...it's scary," Yang Tianzhen replied perfunctorily.

How can someone who is born illiterate become an expert?

Is spending all night frequently urinating while studying world affairs a talent?

Or is it that she could communicate with her grandfather while she was still in her mother's womb?

She sighed, feeling that she might have a hard time fitting into this group.

"Mr. Yang."

"Um?"

"Believe me, you just haven't found the right way to understand my third brother yet."

"?"

Back to the residence.

Shen Jian took a bath and ate.

Finally, I collapsed onto the sofa and looked at the results of today's work.

At the current level, all three character designs are about one-third complete.

At this rate, he should be able to receive the reward before participating in the recording of "Comedy Stand-up Comedy".

Only by having food reserves can one remain calm when facing difficulties.

If you encounter a stronger opponent, you can take your oratory skills to the next level.

I took out my phone and glanced at the WeChat group.

[The Oath of the Peach Garden (3)]

Today, before leaving...

Wang Jianguo and Xu Zhisheng both added him on WeChat.

The group chat was edited afterward.

They indicated they would stay in touch and perhaps one day they could collaborate.

A message was sent in the group at that moment.

[Wang Jianguo: @Shen Jian, we've arrived.]

[Xu Zhisheng: Keep it up, bro, I believe in you.]

Looking at the message.

Shen Jian smiled knowingly.

Then, clicking on the voice message, he asked: "[It's good that we've arrived. By the way, did Sister Yang say anything bad about me in the car?]"

next second.

Wang Jianguo also replied using voice.

Shen Jian clicked to listen, but Yang Tianzhen's voice came out instead:

[Shen Jian! Do you want to die?]

"???"

[Xu Zhisheng: Oh, third brother, I forgot to tell you, we've arrived, but we haven't gotten off the bus yet...]

[Shen Jian: Why didn't you say so earlier?]

[Wang Jianguo: She's gone, everything's fine now, we can talk.]

[Shen Jian: Hmph, I don't believe it.]

[Wang Jianguo: He's really gone.]

[Shen Jian: I just love chubby women like Sister Yang!]

[Wang Jianguo: Shen Jian! You just wait!]

(Yang Tianzhen joined the group chat)

Yang Tianzhen: [Voice recording IIII 12 seconds]

[Yang Tianzhen: [Voice recording III/II 23 seconds]

Yang Tianzhen: [...]!

Shen Jian: I knew it.

╮(╯▽╰)╭]

Ignore the few voice messages.

Shen Jian closed the group chat.

Actually, you don't even need to click on it to guess what it says.

However, out of consideration for their relationship.

Shen Jian ultimately chose to pretend he couldn't hear.

Exit WeChat and open your Douyin account backend.

Private messages (99+)

Private messages (99+)

After yesterday's live broadcast.

My private messages have been flooded.

The vast majority of them were greetings from fans.

The other type of contact is certain corporate accounts that specifically come to him wanting to discuss business cooperation.

This is actually a fairly common business model in the live streaming industry.

If your account has a decent number of followers and traffic.

Merchants will then proactively come to you, asking you to "GG" (a Chinese internet slang term for a game or a fight), or they may even start live-streaming sales.

After Shen Jian became famous for being illiterate, he did have some thoughts about it.

Because the price offered by the merchant was really good.

For every product sold, he gets a 25% commission, and that's before we even negotiated anything.

He was confident that if negotiations went deeper, he could get a commission of 35% or even 40%.

This clearly demonstrates just how much profit and exaggeration is involved.

However, Shen Jian did not agree at the time.

To be honest, he doesn't care what outsiders say about him, and it's not that he's soft-hearted and won't cheat his family out of their money.

The main reason is that the manufacturer sells "learning machines".

It doesn't matter how much or how little you earn.

But products that damage one's image when promoted are unacceptable.

It should be noted that his persona of being illiterate was extremely popular online.

Asking him to sell learning machines now would be a slap in the face for himself.

What if it sells well?

How will my fans and family see me?

So he decisively refused at the time.

Looking back now, I realize I was quite calm.

Later I heard that the learning machine had a problem.

It's not about pointing out what you don't understand at all.

Instead, it doesn't work no matter where you click.

I checked my private messages.

I was surprised to see a well-known influencer.

[Shen Jian replied: Damn, such a big company, and you're talking about this?]
