Chapter 181 6 Playing with the Internet
Grandpa Sun's son Xiao Sun was stunned when he heard this and asked suspiciously, "Are they trying to trick you into becoming an internet celebrity?"
"It's not easy to be an internet celebrity nowadays. You either need to be good-looking or talented. What are your specialties?"
"I'm really good at eating pickled pepper chicken feet, right?"
Grandpa Sun took another chicken melon and stuffed it into his mouth, saying with emotion: "It's still better to take the bones off."
"What is an Internet celebrity? Didn't you say this was an assignment from the mobile phone class?" Grandpa Sun's wife, Aunt Juan, held up a flashlight, looking confused.
Grandpa Sun fooled Aunt Juan by saying that replying to the comments was his homework for tonight and that she couldn't go to bed if she didn't finish replying and would be scolded by the teacher tomorrow. Aunt Juan was so scared that she stayed up late to accompany him to reply to the comments.
"Internet celebrities are famous people on the Internet. Many people pay attention to the videos they post, and they have many fans. They can also make money from it." Xiao Sun described it to Grandpa Sun in the simplest terms possible.
“You can make money just by posting videos online?”
Aunt Juan, who had taken an anti-fraud class at the senior citizens' university, was very vigilant.
"You can't make much money just by posting videos. You still have to sell products and take advertisements."
"How do I sell goods? Without opening a store?" Grandpa Sun asked curiously.
"You don't need to open a store, just open a window in your account, and accept the goods. The merchant will also send you samples so that you can eat and use them for free."
"If I promote chicken feet, will I get free chicken feet that I can't finish eating?"
"In theory, you can, but it's hard to be an internet celebrity. You should go to bed early since you have to go to school tomorrow." Xiao Sun now understands how difficult it is for parents to coax their children.
What his father says now about how difficult it is to become an internet celebrity is as difficult as his eldest nephew saying that he wants to be Ultraman and fight monsters. It's wishful thinking.
Xiao Sun just thought his father was joking.
It’s not easy to survive in the Internet industry now. It’s nothing like it was two years ago.
Without talent and marketing, it is difficult to become popular.
He was afraid that his parents would laugh at him, so he didn't dare to say it. He also had a dream of becoming an Internet celebrity, and thought he could achieve financial freedom on the Internet. He confidently shot a few videos, but all of them fell into oblivion, with very few likes and comments.
So Xiao Sun gave up reluctantly. He admitted that he had no advantages in looks, no talents, and his daily life was boring, so there was nothing new in the photos he took.
What's more, Internet content is highly homogenized, and it is difficult for ordinary videos to become popular.
Little Sun’s words did not discourage Grandpa Sun, because he found that making money on the Internet was not as difficult as his son said.
He posted a video and it received one million likes, over 300,000 comments, and nearly 100,000 people followed him.
Before going to bed, Grandpa Sun looked at his phone contentedly and said cheerfully: "It's not difficult to be an internet celebrity."
If little Sun knew about this, he would definitely sigh with envy: His father is better than him, he is able to use the Internet at the age of sixty.
……
At the school, Grandpa Sun still insists on recording his daily life at the senior citizens' university.
In the Chinese painting class, Lao Fu and Uncle Li, in addition to drawing ugly pictures every day to "pollute" Teacher Huang's eyes, also opened up a new business - conflict mediation.
It all started when the two of them were wandering around the school, trying to see which direction of the wall was easier to climb over, and they happened to meet Uncle Fan squatting in the corner of the backyard wall.
Uncle Fan had more than a dozen papers in his hand, and he was frantically doing math problems on a thick notebook of rough paper.
Old Fu stroked his chin and thought, "Old Fan is probably sulking. I heard from Teacher Su that when he gets angry, he likes to make up questions and ask Teacher Su to write them."
Uncle Li looked over stealthily, "I think you're right. He's definitely angry. The paper is almost torn."
Uncle Fan and Aunt Wen had just gotten married, but he was sulking alone.
Old Fu's gossipy soul was burning, and he and Uncle Li supported Uncle Fan on both sides and forced him to be enlightened.
"Lao Fan, what's wrong with you? If you have any troubles, tell us and we will give you some advice."
Uncle Fan frowned, his expression struggling, and he lowered his voice and asked sincerely: "Can you dance?"
Uncle Li shook his head: "I can't, my limbs are not coordinated, but I can use the erhu to race horses, I think it's quite artistic, do you want to see it?"
Uncle Fan held his forehead in pain and said, "Forget it, no one can understand me."
"Yes, I can. I have learned to dance." Old Fu said surprisingly.
Uncle Li looked him up and down in shock: "I didn't realize it, Lao Fu, we have known each other for so long, how come I didn't know you could dance."
When Lao Fu heard that Uncle Li doubted him, he immediately decided to prove it to Uncle Li.
He recalled the movements, imagining himself as a swan, taking "light" steps, waving his arms, spinning and jumping.
When the dance ended, Uncle Li and the others were stunned.
"Why hasn't it rained yet?" Uncle Li looked up at the sky.
"Old Li, what do you mean?"
"Excuse me, I thought you were imitating the priest praying for rain?"
Old Fu was deeply shocked, and Uncle Fan turned around and left silently.
"Old Fan, don't go. You haven't told us what's bothering you yet?" Uncle Li asked, chasing after him.
Uncle Fan sighed deeply and said calmly, "I want to learn square dancing within a week, then move up to the intermediate level and become a partner with my wife."
"Is this how a top student thinks when solving problems?" Old Fu didn't care about being sad anymore and stood up suddenly.
He has never seen someone with no basic knowledge learn square dancing quickly in just one week.
Is this the power of love?
