Chapter 308. Grassroots Stars
Someone once said that this is the best time and the worst time.
Especially today when the Internet is extremely developed, many ordinary people can become famous overnight through online platforms.
There is no doubt that Lin Yi’s 5 million Taobao video was sent out by crazy people as a popular message.
In just one day, the number of clicks reached one million.
The reason why this video is popular is that, first, Lin Yi is one of the grassroots Taobao; second, the current folk treasure appraisal Taobao activities are in a boom period; third, the public's collective bargaining mentality is at work.
At this moment, in schools, in stores, on the road, anywhere where videos are spread---
Even if many people don’t understand the collection of Little Man’s Books, they can’t help but clench their fists and shout: “I’m hit!” It seems that what flows out of the video is not Little Man’s Books, but boxes of gold and diamonds full of gold and diamonds.
It can be said that the five million bargaining has made people pay attention to Lin Yi, the lucky star.
With the human-style search, the Taobao history of Lin Yi, a "grassroots" star, was soon discovered, from book stalls to Taobao, to millions of drawings, millions of Buddhist scriptures, and then to millions of poetry manuscripts... In addition, he actually appeared on the TV station's treasure appraisal program. His videos in the program have been spread on the Internet as a new wave of hot spots.
If Taobao’s five million is based on luck, then Lin Yi’s performance in the show is a completely serious “treasure appraiser”.
With his luck against the will, his genius treasure appraisal ability, and his handsome appearance like a star, it is impossible for Lin Yi to not become famous.
"Awesome. With just two years of eyesight, Taobao has become a millionaire? Lin Yi is worthy of being the legendary 'bad-picking master'!"
"He is simply not a human, no, he should be an alien! Treasure appraisal, picking up bargains, thread-bound books, new literature, villain books, it seems that all the treasures were picked up by him--god, does he have golden eyes?!"
"I can no longer describe him in words. Maybe he is really an alien!"
...
As Lin Yi's friend and a reporter who interviewed him, Jiang Lifu Feizang knew the meaning of "striking iron while it's hot". Therefore, when Lin Yi was headlines on the Internet gossip, he pushed out the album "Identification of Ancient Books" interviewed by Lin Yi in the TV Festival.
Therefore, this program was pushed to the top spot in online search as a new hot topic for Lin Yi.
Lin Yi's elegance and wisdom in the program, as a treasure appraisal expert who is from grassroots rather than professional disciplines, his appraisal remarks triggered a new round of "Taobao fever". It is said that in just one week, the old-line-bound books in the antique market were sold out. All collectors who like Taobao regarded Lin Yi's words as Taobao guides, hoping to find one or two ancient books on the market in the Song and Yuan dynasties, or Ming and Qing dynasties.
One person has never been able to drive the national "Taobao fever" before, and it is probably not going to happen again in the future.
With this sudden popularity, Lin Yi, who was originally unknown in the "cultural world", began to gain a little fame, and no one expected this accident.
...
The "cultural circle" is different from the "antique circle". There are all kinds of people in the antique circle, including peddlers, barricades, street stalls, antique shops, small collectors, and large collectors... These can all be called "antique circles", and old books are also antiques, so Lin Yi is also a person in this circle. As a "big master" who has been seen in the circle for a century, it is like a storm and storm that washes the feelings and cognition of countless collectors and players.
But in the cultural circle, this circle is special. It is a circle that only three percent of cultural elites can play, such as experts, professors, cultural celebrities, writers, artists, and musicians... They have wrapped this circle around. If you want to integrate something into it, you must have two brushes.
I remember that as a "collector" Mr. Ma Weidu was recognized by everyone for a difficult time. He published several books, which triggered a wave of craze. Then he became the speaker of CCTV's "Hundred Schools of Life" and a super best-selling writer. In 2008, Ma Weidu ranked fifth in the "2008 Third Chinese Writers Rich List" with a royalty income of 7.45 million yuan, which attracted the "attention" of the cultural community.
In contrast, Lin Yi is the only one who has just begun to "the little lotus has just shown its sharp corners" and is just starting out. Especially as the interview program "Book Talk" that has entered the cultural circle, although he has been recognized by many people, many ancient version experts and scholars of ancient book research still have a wait-and-see attitude towards Lin Yi's summary of the identification of ancient book, believing that Lin Yi is just an amateur player and does not represent the authority in this regard.
Lin Yi was not interested in whether he could squeeze into the "cultural world". For him, as long as he had books and books to read, everything would be perfect. His idea was denounced by Jiang Lifu as "no great ambitions". You should know that Lin Yi's "Book Talk" column is his work. If Lin Yi is not accepted by the cultural world, it means that Jiang Lifu's works are not accepted by the cultural world. Jiang Lifu, who has always regarded himself as a rookie in the cultural world, will never recognize this failure. Therefore, he plans to further package and promote Lin Yi. Since China can produce a Ma Weidu who has been on the "Baijia Forum", why can't Lin Yi appear on the "Book Talk Show"?
...
Due to his sudden popularity, Lin Yi's mobile phone has been almost blown up these days. Basically, they are small websites, and there are also insignificant gossip media who want to interview him, but these were rejected by Lin Yi. According to Jiang Lifu's words, although you have not really become a climate in the cultural circle, you must know how to keep yourself clean. It is best to contact these insignificant media without contact.
Lin Yi didn't refuse after hearing Jiang Lifu's words, it was entirely because these people were too annoyed and didn't know what the face was or what the blushing was. In the end, these people kept calling and harassing them. Lin Yi directly contacted the phone, and now it was completely quiet.
Three days later, when Lin Yi turned on his phone again, he saw that there were dozens of missed calls on it.
Three of them were called by my mother, two sisters, one brother-in-law, and Cao Yidao, Huang coach, Lao Guo... etc. But the one who beat the most was Xu Haoming, who beat 13 of him!
This shows how anxious Boss Xu is to see him.
However, Lin Yi didn't care about these things, but was reading the text messages sent---
"Brother Lin, are you okay? Why are you missing? You are harassed by those media. Haha, I am still happy, I am the only one to harass others. I won't say much, I'll contact you now, and introduce a few friends to you." Behind it was a grinning smile.
"Are you okay?!" No one can send such a short text message except for the old coach Huang Huang.
"I watched your video, Lin Yi, you are popular, don't forget me." Behind it is a large number of love symbols, but this super emotional text message was sent by Su Xue.
Lin Yi shook his head, it’s the most troublesome thing for women, it’s better to keep a distance from her. Then continue reading the text message below, there is actually Haitang’s!
"Lin Yi, what's wrong with you? I called you, but you didn't answer. I thought something had happened to you. Do you know how worried I was about you? Well, you must not know. Since you separated, you have called me less and less, but I miss you more and more. People say that distance creates beauty, but I am afraid that this long distance will separate you and me, so I made a decision..." The latter was full of ellipsis, and I didn't know what decision Haitang made in the end.
Lin Yi was curious and he didn't know what Haitang was going to do.
Just thinking about whether to call, suddenly, the cell phone in his hand rang.
Lin Yi was startled and saw that it was called by Xu Haoming and Xu. He didn't know what urgent matters he had when he found himself. He actually made so many calls. As soon as the phone turned on, he was the one who called the first one.
When he answered the phone, Xu Haoming's loud voice came from the other end: "Is Lin Yi so? You kid dare to turn off the phone." Then there was a criticism. Boss Xu said that he could not get through many calls he had made. He also said that his current status and status only had the only way to refuse to answer other people's calls. He also said that Lin Yi is popular now and has a bad temper, and he doesn't even take him as an elder seriously, so he...
After finally waiting for Boss Xu to vent, Lin Yi's ears were almost calloused, so he had to apologize and asked politely: "Big Boss, you called me not to scold me, right? A big business like you have experienced millions of ups and downs in a few minutes, but I can't afford to take such precious time to scold me."
Xu Haoming was so amused and laughed and cried by Lin Yi, so he had to say, "Of course there is something important to call you. Tonight, Green Hotel Company will hold a banquet, and you will come no matter what!"
"No, you don't know if I was fired by the company?"
"I know."
"Then I called you, do you know?"
"I know, too."
"That's a bit too unkind." Lin Yi said, "You are clearly playing with me. Why are you still asking me to go over and do it now? Haven't you had enough fun yet?"
Xu Haoming pretended to be angry and said, "I'm too lazy to explain to you now--in any case, you have to come even if you come, and you have to come even if you don't come even if you don't come!" After saying that, he hung up the phone directly.
Lin Yi was speechless. Who is this? He is actually cheating?!
However, Lin Yi also knew that Boss Xu was definitely not the kind of person who talked nonsense, and would not really make such boring jokes with him. Since he was so anxious to call him, it seemed that something really happened, and this matter was related to him.
It seems that this "Green Hotel Tour" is a must, not for anything else, just to solve the puzzled mystery---!
