The era of top influencers that started with illiteracy

Chapter 82: Imitators Emerge

[Drama Queen (Level 1): 100/100 (Completed) Reward: 1 point]

[Character Design Points Remaining: 2]

Early in the morning.

A prompt appeared before Shen Jian's eyes.

His "drama queen" persona is now at Level 1 completion.

However, he only has 2 points available at the moment, so he has no intention of drawing the character design right away.

As for the other two, "King of Jokes" and "Down-to-earth" are level 5 and level 3 respectively.

It will take some time before you can complete the task and claim the reward.

Shen Jian's next strategy is to focus on cultivating a dramatic persona.

On the one hand, the level is relatively low, so you can quickly get reward points.

On the other hand, it can also be seen as training his acting skills and getting used to the talents of crying and laughing, in preparation for participating in the show later.

When it comes to performing in stage plays and sketches, he wasn't really confident.

This is not on the same level as stand-up comedy.

The main issue is that the performance involves just too many techniques.

Even veteran actors wouldn't dare say they've mastered all the methods.

Currently, he is only proficient in both crying and laughing scenes; he can perform different kinds of crying and laughing.

Even more challenging ones include laughter that involves continuous vocal cord vibration, like "Wahahaha...", or the exaggerated and unrestrained laughter of Stephen Chow, and so on.

He can imitate and do all of that.

But this is limited to techniques.

To capture the essence of a performance perfectly and to explore something deeper, further upgrades are necessary.

After all, when it comes to crying, a master's cry evokes pity, while an ordinary cry might just mean that I know you're crying.

No wonder Yang Tianzhen and Liang Mu weren't moved at all every time he shed tears.

It seems it still needs a bit more practice.

...

A week passed quickly.

The second episode of Happy Singles 2 has also been released online.

With the explosive start of the first episode.

So the second episode still had good ratings.

However, there were fewer online discussions about it.

It was clearly not as lively as when Shen Jian appeared in the first episode.

It seems like all the contestants combined in the entire episode didn't generate as much buzz as he did.

This has led to a surge in Shen Jian's Douyin followers in the past few days.

The number of followers has reached 300 million.

At the same time, Weibo also successfully surpassed 100 million followers.

Such a rapid rate of fan acquisition.

This surprised many people in the company.

It's worth noting that Yang Tianzhen initially booked this variety show for him.

Many people bet that he wouldn't make it past the first round.

Now, they've all proven wrong.

"Great, your fan base is growing rapidly, that's a good sign. Keep it up!"

in the office.

Yang Tianzhen rarely gave a compliment.

Shen Jian: "Sister Yang, how's their respect for her?"

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."

The two people next to them were speechless.

Hey bro, your boss is praising you, can't you at least give some kind of response?

All he thinks about is money.

That's enough.

Yang Tianzhen seems to have developed antibodies.

I didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

After all, it's quite remarkable that Shen Jian's first sentence wasn't abstract.

Moreover, they are concerned about their appearance fees.

An employee whose mind is entirely focused on making money.

It's hard for the boss not to be pleased.

"We received an email from Kiwi, this time offering a quote of 800,000."

Lin Youyou exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, they gave eighty yuan too? My goodness, our teacher Shen Jian is in high demand! How are we supposed to choose?"

Shen Jian: "Xiao You, remember this: respect that comes late is not respect, unless... it's doubled."

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."

Yang Tianzhen: "Don't even think about it, it's impossible."

Shen Jian nodded: "I know, so what did the penguin say?"

Yang Tianzhen: "They probably knew that the other two companies were also trying to negotiate with us, so they agreed to increase the price."

"How many?"

"In the end, it was increased to 100 million."

"Only one million...?" Shen Jian wasn't very excited: "It's alright, after all, even a small mosquito is still meat."

Ryogi: "..."

Lin Youyou: "..."

Upon hearing Shen Jian's words, the others were speechless.

Is this even human language?

One million is just a drop in the ocean.

Have you ever eaten a mosquito this big?!

Can't a newbie stop talking like a top celebrity?

Yang Tianzhen: "Now that we've made the decision, we'll officially start discussing cooperation with Tencent."

After the contract process is complete, you'll likely meet with the production team first. Then you might need to get to know the theater troupe members beforehand and rehearse together. In short, be mentally prepared beforehand.

"Understood, Sister Yang."

...

...

night.

Shen Jian finished eating and taking a shower, and was about to start his live stream.

The result was that the background process was opened.

I saw thousands of messages tagging him.

This is a portal in TikTok.

When someone mentions you in someone else's comment section, clicking their link will take you directly to the video homepage they want them to see.

[@Shen Jian, come quick! Someone's imitating you!]

[Haha, I'm dying of laughter @ShenJian.]

[I never imagined my eldest son would be imitated one day!]

[@Shen Jian, are you illiterate or is he more illiterate?]

Shen Jian clicked on each of the portals that @ him.

These are not the same homepage.

But every video that followed shocked him.

[Zhao Duoyang v: #IlliterateInspirationalLiterature#: "Good morning everyone, today on set, I suddenly realized a truth: nothing in this world is difficult if you're willing to give up!"]

[Zou Yuehao v: #Illiterate Joke: "Everyone, even if I had any skill, I actually have none at all."]

[Li Jinzhe v: #IlliterateStandupComedy...]

[Gao Shengxian v:#Illiterate…]

[Zhou Zifeng v: #IlliterateConfession#: "I believe many fans know that I'm a performing arts major, so my academic subjects aren't particularly good. I remember that year I took the exam without any preparation; I was completely lost when I entered the exam room... I really don't like academic subjects, so I'm uneducated."]

Shen Jian scrolled through them one by one.

There are indeed many people posting on the topic of #illiterate.

Moreover, these people all have a certain number of fans.

Judging from his appearance and demeanor, he is most likely a newcomer from some entertainment company.

And then, among all the videos he made imitating illiterate people, he even came across a video by Zhou Zifeng.

And in his comments section.

The number of people tagging themselves and the number of likes they received were the highest.

have to say.

The effect of following the trend is quite obvious.

The number of comments and likes for a single video far exceeds that of other video works.

[Haha, these days, people are even vying to be illiterate?]

[@Shen Jian, have you started your own school of thought?]

[I'm truly speechless. What were these people thinking? Of all the things they could learn, why did they have to choose this? And the key question is, can they even even learn it?]

[These people are completely unreliable; they have no sense of humor whatsoever. Unlike @沈见, he doesn't even need to say a word; just standing there, I believe him, hahaha.]

[Come take a look, @ShenJian.]

[......]

[Shen Jian v replied: I have a question, is it okay to wear clothes during a test without any preparation?]

[Holy crap... the Grandmaster has arrived...]

[Pfft, hahaha, just like you!]

[Damn, one sentence and you've taken the high ground!]

[@Zhao Duoyang @Li Jinzhe @Gao Shengxian @……Did you see that? You should all study this; it's full of knowledge points!]

[Learning from my eldest son? You're still a long way off!]

[Haha, I burst out laughing.]
