anchors

"Cub, Dad, I can no longer be a salted fish, or I will have to go back to my hometown and learn how to repair cars." Li Yixiao said seriously to his old classmate and manager Chen Yang.

Chen Yang applauded: "Brother, you finally wake up, you should have risen up long ago!"

Li Yixiao nodded and said: "It must be, otherwise how can Dad afford to support you as a cub?"

"Get lost! Don't take advantage of me! I'm your father now!" Chen Yang said angrily.

"It's okay, dad, listen to your thoughts. I think the market for simple food anchors is saturated now, and I don't want to be a big eater, so I still have to start with creative types." Li Yixiao explain.

"Okay, you can continue." Chen Yang was easily distracted.

"Inspired by my mother, I thought that making a short video of dark cooking should be a hit. When the short video has traffic, I will divert it to the live broadcast room. What do you think?" Li Yixiao asked.

"What kind of dark cuisine specifically?" Chen Yang asked again.

"Let's start with the things that people are afraid to eat. For example, I will make a black forest cake first, and then eat it on the spot. Isn't it interesting?" Li Yixiao said.

Chen Yang curled his lips: "It's kind of disgusting."

"That's the effect. You have to leave a deep impression on people in order to become an instant hit. Think about it. After watching a video like mine, a person will definitely send it to his good friends to harm his friends. Right? The person who has been harmed will send it to the next group of victims, wouldn't that increase the speed of transmission?" Li Yi said with a smile.

Chen Yang thought about it, and felt that it made sense: "You can try it, anyway, you are a newcomer now, and the cost of trial and error is low."

Li Yixiao gave him a sideways glance: "Big brother, have some confidence in me, okay? My last job was the behind-the-scenes planner, photographer and post-production of a popular food anchor!"

"All right, all right, then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, my manager is just waiting to peel off your skin, suck your blood, and take your share!" Chen Yang urged, still in the mood to laugh at himself One sentence.

"Let Zai Zai suck you up!" Li Yixiao patted Chen Yang on the shoulder and said, "Do you know what you look like?"

"Vampire?" Chen Yang guessed.

Li Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Mosquito?" Chen Yang guessed again.

Li Yixiao shook his head again.

"Leech?" Chen Yang still guessed.

"Don't always feel that you are not a thing. You like this are actually the most like a sanitary napkin, and it is very suitable for your status as a woman's friend." Li Yixiao said seriously.

"Go to hell!" Chen Yang beat up his former friend.

Li Yixiao had an idea, and he didn't procrastinate anymore, so he did what he said.

After returning home, Li Yixiao quickly bought all the props he needed, set up the camera he rented from the company and started shooting.

Li Yixiao, this person has a quirk.

He usually has a good temper, but once he starts working, he suddenly turns from a good person to a tyrant, scolding anyone, from actors to staff, and anyone who doesn't follow his pace, he can blow people up dog head!

Because of this, he and Yuanyuan had quarreled countless times.She really didn't understand why someone turned from a good boyfriend to a potential domestic violence risk member as soon as he started working.

"Wow, camera, what is this for?" Xia Tianyu just finished her talent class from the company, and when she returned to the villa, she saw Li Yixiao playing with the camera.

"Very professional." Qiu Ning also sighed.

Li Yixiao was pondering the layout of the screen when he saw two girls circling the camera. Li Yixiao, who had already entered a workaholic state, hurriedly said: "Let's make it clear, let's not disturb my work. People are very irritable at work!"

"Why?" Xia Tianyu asked.

"Shut up! I've already said you're very irritable, and you still ask! Have you ever seen a director with a good temper?!" Li Yixiao roared, scaring Xia Tianyu's head back.

"If you don't ask, then don't ask, what is so fierce." Xia Tianyu muttered, visibly timid to the naked eye.

Qiu Ning smiled and walked away tactfully.

Xia Tianyu took two steps, felt that it was embarrassing to admit love like this, and then turned her head aggressively: "What are you going to shoot?"

"Shut up! Keep making noise and throw bugs in your face!" Li Yixiao was playing with the live bugs he bought, ignorant of Xia Tianyu's concern.

"How dare you?!" Xia Tianyu said angrily.

Li Yixiao looked at Xia Tianyu, Xia Tianyu looked at Li Yixiao, the two looked at each other like fighting cocks, trying to kill each other with their eyes.

In the end, Li Yixiao grinned grimly, grabbed a wriggling earthworm from the box, and dangled it in front of Xia Tianyu's nose: "You can see if I dare."

"Aoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...!"

She was crying while running: "Li Yixiao, you bastard! Remember me!! I won't let you go!!!"

Li Yixiao slowly put the worms back into the box: "A mere protein can also be frightened, useless snacks!"

Qiu Ning shook her head: "Don't scare her, she is timid, and it's not like you don't know."

Li Yixiao snorted: "Hmph, this is what happens to anyone who dares to disturb my work!"

The world was clean. Li Yixiao continued his filming work. The pre-shooting was completed that day. He quickly shut himself in the room and started post-production. On the second day, he cut out a high-quality short video and sent it to Chen Positive.

After watching it, Chen Yang excitedly said: "Brother, I think this will be popular, so hurry up and post it!"

Li Yixiao immediately logged into his registered account "Li Shisanxiao" on Weibo and various short video apps, and posted the first video of his new account.

It's going to be hot, it's going to be hot, he's going to be hot soon.

Li Yixiao watched his own video repeatedly, like an author who repeatedly read his own articles before updating. The more he watched, the more satisfied he was. He felt that he had made leaps and bounds in terms of technology and creativity. Watch this video, and shoot a lot Great!

This composition, this color scheme, this music, perfect!

The content of the video is also very simple, that is, he made a dark bug version of the Black Forest cake with all kinds of strange bugs, and then ate it with a few mouthfuls.

Of course, the cake he ate was not the same cake as the one he made.

The worms in the cake in the back are all made of edible glue, which looks fake, but in fact it is not fake at all.

But what does it matter?

There are too many tricks of gourmet anchors these days. Even triplets take turns to do food and broadcast. It has happened that the anchor has changed three people for one meal. What is impossible?

One day passed, two days passed, three days passed.

Li Yixiao found out tragically that he had no fire, and even no splash at all.

He is still a miserable little transparent.

How can it be?My videos are so well done!My creativity is so fun!Why can't I just be hot? !

Li Yixiao's mentality collapsed, and he grabbed Chen Yang and frantically called and complained.

Chen Yang said quietly: "Would you like to take a look at a blogger who suddenly became popular a few days ago, called Uncle Red Roast."

Li Yixiao hung up the phone and searched quickly. Good guy, this is also a food blogger. On the same day as him, he posted a short food video, which was retweeted over [-] times and suddenly became popular.

Looking at the content, it is also dark cuisine. Although the ingredients are different, the theme is the same!

Li Yixiao was furious, this is not as good as him!Why is he on fire!

"His video is not as good as a primary school dog. Look at this composition, look at this set, look at this editing and post-production, rubbish! How dare he post it! It’s unscientific to post it, and it’s still reposted ten thousand times! Now Are all the audience blind! He must have bought marketing!" Li Yixiao grabbed Chen Yang and roared.

Chen Yang sighed: "Brother, there is nothing you can do if you collide with other people's settings. If you continue to do so, their fans will definitely come and criticize you. You will always be the one who suffers at that time. Who makes you confused? In this circle, whoever is famous will be right." Ah, hurry up and change your route."

Li Yixiao was so angry that he dropped the phone.

Xia Tianyu who just came downstairs heard Li Yixiao complaining on the phone in the living room, and said sadly, "I understand you."

"Ah?" Li Yixiao looked at Xia Tianyu wonderingly, what did she understand?

Xia Tianyu said quietly: "I practice my singing skills hard and study how to sing well, but those female anchors who know how to sing "Meow Meow Call" are more popular than me. The singing skills are in a mess, and it all depends on the sound card to save lives. Fire? I beat them ten streets with my singing skills! I’m so angry that I’m not as popular as this group of chickens!”

The two of them suddenly had a feeling of sympathy for each other—ah, why did we have to be beaten by a group of idiots?

"Analyze rationally. I think you should learn from their experience of becoming popular." Li Yixiao was able to give some reasonable suggestions after getting rid of her status as an authority figure.

Xia Tianyu snorted coldly: "I don't want it! You have to learn by yourself."

Li Yixiao was very upset: "What's there to learn, don't I know better than them? I have done planning for the popular food anchor!"

Xia Tianyu "cut" with a look of disbelief.

"Hmph, forget it if you don't believe it. If one road is blocked, there will be the next one. I don't believe that I won't be popular!" Li Yixiao thumped the table and said solemnly.

Chapter 18 [What's wrong with my live broadcast? ! 】02┃I'm dead again, I'm still pissed off

"Chen Yang, Chen Yang, call Chen Yang, Dad, I have a new idea! I don't know how much higher than that dark cuisine, and I will definitely become a generation of Internet celebrities and food bloggers!" Li Yixiao said excitedly. Chen Yang called.

"Tell me?" Chen Yang still believed in his old classmates, after all, he was eccentric and quick-witted since he was a child.

"The way of thinking is this. Now there are so many young people in the office. They move bricks in the office twelve hours a day. They can't eat well, and they can't sleep soundly. Life is hard haha. In addition to lusting about my country, there will be Tian tomorrow. After firing the boss and living in the pastoral life, I can only fantasize about getting rich overnight. But the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel. Most people still have to live a miserable life of '996', going to work at nine in the morning, I get off work at nine o’clock in the evening and work six days a week, so that everyone will have a sense of Stockholm’s intimacy with the office.” Li Yixiao talked a lot, and finally talked about the key point, “So I want to make a series to teach everyone How to make a food video in the office, how to use a water dispenser as a hot pot, and use a computer host as a barbecue grill, which makes everyone feel friendly and bright."

When Chen Yang heard it, he was overwhelmed: "This idea is perfect, let's do it quickly, brother, you will definitely be popular this time!"

Li Yixiao is very satisfied with Chen Yang's knowledge: "Boy, you just wait for Dad to become popular overnight, and then let you suck a lot of money, and everyone will make a fortune together!"

"Okay dad, come on dad, I like you, dad!" Chen Yang said excitedly.

Li Yixiao hung up the phone and quickly started the second video - a creative food program in the office.

After renting the venue, temporarily hiring personnel, starting shooting, and post-production, a whole week has passed. Chen Yang is satisfied with Li Yixiao's new video with 100 million views, and feels that he will have another cash cow.

Once the video is released...

Stone sinks into the sea.

Drowning in the vast ocean of information.

"This is unscientific!" Li Yixiao thumped the table frantically, and roared, "How could it not be popular? My genius-like creativity, genius-like shooting, genius-like post-production, how could it not be popular!"

Chen Yang is also puzzled, he has worked hard to market, why is it still not hot?

"Maybe it's Mercury retrograde." Chen Yang came to a conclusion, "It must be because of Mercury retrograde!"

Li Yixiao glanced at him sideways: "Don't be superstitious."

Chen Yang plausibly said: "What we do is to talk about metaphysics. You see, some female anchors are not the most beautiful, nor are they the best singers. When it comes to dealing with people, hehe, some of them are really low in EQ. .But even if it becomes popular and becomes popular overnight, you don’t know what kind of metaphysics it is. Some people are super popular, and some people just don’t get popular, it’s fate.”

"What are you implying?" Li Yixiao looked at him suspiciously.

"No, I absolutely didn't imply what you mean. With the quality of your video, it will be a matter of time before you become popular. Don't you want to be discouraged? At worst, do a few more episodes. As long as you have output and quality, I still have channels. Once If it doesn’t become popular, it’s a matter of probability, two, three, twenty or thirty times, if it still doesn’t become popular, then it’s true metaphysics.”

Li Yixiao thought about it, and felt that it made sense, so he worked hard to make another issue.

Before the video was finished, Chen Yang had already turned on a phone call: "Hurry up, Li Yixiao, don't do it, go and see that 'office king'!"

Li Yixiao opened the search engine with a confused face.

Another gourmet anchor who debuted at the same time as him. The type of subject matter, production style, and output content are almost exactly the same. Those who don’t know think it’s the work of the same team.

Oh, the video on Weibo has 250 retweets, and his own video has [-] retweets.

It can be said to be very two hundred and five.

Li Yixiao silently deleted the unfinished video material from the computer.

Then he started banging his head on the computer desk.

dong dong dong.

go to hell!Mercury retrograde!

&&&

"Dazhu, help me find out when my Mercury retrograde will pass." Li Yixiao said to Chen Yang expressionlessly in his office with gauze wrapped around his head.

Chen Yang studied the constellation guide in his mobile phone for a long time: "Tomorrow, tomorrow your Mercury retrograde will be over!"

Li Yixiao smiled distortedly: "Great, I'll start making a new food video tomorrow."

"Brother, are you sure you don't want to take a break?" Chen Yang's gaze fell on Li Yixiao's bandaged forehead.

"No! I'm going to become popular now, or I'm going back to my hometown to learn how to repair cars!" Li Yixiao said through gritted teeth.

Chen Yang has nothing to do with him: "Then do you have any ideas?"

Li Yixiao nodded solemnly: "This time, I decided to follow the exquisite pastoral style. It must be meticulous, elegant, and sentimental. In the first phase, I carried a hiking bag and props and trekked mountains and rivers to find the clearest mountain spring and cook a bowl of it. For instant noodles, you also need to beat an egg, serve with chopped green onion and chili peppers, it’s smooth and elegant!”

"Okay, this idea is good, you go!" Chen Yang encouraged his old classmates again.

Li Yixiao went aggressively.

Two days later, I finally came to the mountains and forests on the outskirts of W City with my backpack on my back, and found a mountain spring. Li Yixiao, who was taking pictures of cooking noodles, received a call from Chen Yang.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I read it wrong, your Mercury retrograde won't end until next month!" Chen Yang said hastily.

"Never mind him! We have to believe in science!" Li Yixiao had to speak loudly because of the bad signal in the mountains.

"No, hurry up and open Weibo and search for a newcomer called 'Brother Wild Food'!"

Li Yixiao suddenly felt bad, hung up the phone in a hurry and searched.

Ah, what a perfect stalker.

Li Yixiao silently put down his phone, took off his clothes, and jumped into the pool, giving himself a complete refreshment.

Calm down, Li Yixiao, calm down.

Life is such ups and downs.

It's all Mercury's retrograde fault!

So Li Yixiao turned off the camera, cried and ate a bowl of exquisite instant noodles by the spring.

&&&

"Chen Yang, I think..." Li Yixiao said to Chen Yang again in Chen Yang's office.

"No, bro, stop talking!" Chen Yang stretched out a hand to cover Li Yixiao's mouth, and said in pain, "I think your Mercury retrograde is longer than what is written in the horoscope book, I suggest you rest for a while .”

Li Yixiao broke Chen Yang's hand: "I'm not making short videos."

"Oh, let's talk about it, everything is easy to talk about." Chen Yang relaxed, for fear that Li Yixiao would come up with another creative proposal and hit the wall perfectly, "Every time you have an idea, the popular one is always the Internet celebrity of other companies , I am also very depressed."

"I decided to do a live broadcast first, and simply cook home-cooked food live. I don't expect to become popular because of this. I just do something first and wait for the Mercury retrograde to pass." Li Yi said with a blank expression.

"True, you can have it, let's do it." Chen Yang said.

Li Yixiao, who has been hit by short videos one after another, finally temporarily gave up the idea of ​​relying on short videos to become popular, and decided to start with ordinary food live broadcasts.

This is easier said than done.

Li Yixiao found out tragically that his accident physique had flared up again, and with Mercury retrograde, it flared up even more.

He was gearing up to make a career in the live broadcast industry directly, but something unexpected happened on the first day of live broadcast.

"Hello, viewers, I'm your new anchor Li Shisanxiao. Although you don't know me, it doesn't matter. I believe you will remember me soon." Only the audience in the live broadcast room started the broadcast and boasted, "To be honest, before I became the anchor, I was actually an excellent student who graduated from New Oriental Culinary Academy. I have no problem. But today, let's have some home-cooked dishes."

While chatting with the audience in the live broadcast room, Li Yixiao began to introduce how to make home-cooked food, but the water pipe leaked shortly after the fire was turned on.

Um?Didn't the plumbing just get fixed?

Li Yixiao frantically studied the water pipe, and found that it was really leaking, the kind that couldn't be repaired.

"Sorry, the water pipe is leaking, I have to fix it first." Li Yixiao could only apologize to the audience in the live broadcast room, and then...

Then repair the water pipe live.

"To be honest, I actually worked as a plumber before I became an anchor, not a plumber like Super Mario who can save a princess by flying into the sky, just an ordinary plumber who comes to repair. But my skills are still good, anyway Now I can’t cook anymore, let me teach you the basic self-inspection and self-repair methods of household plumbing, so as not to call someone to repair something broken. As the saying goes, as long as you live a good life, you need to do what you need.”

Li Yixiao fiddled here and there, and finally repaired the water pipe: "I'm lucky this time, it's not a big problem, if the water pipe in the ground leaks, it will be a lot of fun, maybe I have to knock it all down and start over again." Let’s do it. Alright, that’s the end of today’s teaching, have you learned how to fix water pipes?”

A viewer who just entered the live broadcast room blankly posted a barrage: "I see the name of the live broadcast room, isn't it teaching home cooking?"

A viewer who watched the whole show sneered, "The water pipe burst within 10 minutes of the broadcast, and the next thing is to teach you how to fix the water pipe."

"Don't tell me, it's quite useful. The water pipe in my house happened to be broken, and the master said he wouldn't be able to come until tomorrow. I just took care of it according to the anchor's method, and it was fixed by myself!" said a viewer.

Li Yixiao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, where's the agreed food anchor?Why did he fix the plumbing all day? !

It doesn't matter, there will be no water leakage tomorrow, let's live broadcast tomorrow!

&&&

"Big friend, little friend, new friend, old friend, I am your anchor, Li Shisanxiao, who aspires to be an excellent food anchor. Today we are still here to learn some home cooking methods, especially for friends who live alone, usually three dishes Let’s have a soup, if you can’t finish it, deal with it casually, if your stomach doesn’t agree, let’s take it out every day, spending money is not necessarily healthy, so we have to learn a nutritious meal that can be eaten by one person.” The evening of the next day , Li Yixiao appeared in the live broadcast room on time, chatted with a few viewers, and wanted to teach everyone how to cook.

Just after cutting the ingredients, someone suddenly broke in: "My computer is broken, please help me fix it!"

It's Xia Tianyu!

Li Yixiao, whose work was interrupted, had a ferocious expression in an instant. If it weren't for the live broadcast now, he would have caught Xia Tianyu and roared.

Li Yixiao lowered his voice and said, "I'm working."

"Hurry up, hurry up, help me, I'm going to start a live broadcast soon, what should I do now that the computer is broken!" Xia Tianyu was so anxious that she urged Li Yixiao hard.

"Grandma, I'm also broadcasting live, you want me to fix your computer now?"

"Come on, come on, not many people watch your live broadcast, mine is more important, please, I will pay you!" Xia Tianyu stomped her feet anxiously.

Li Yixiao took a deep breath, and said helplessly to the audience in the live broadcast room: "To tell the truth, before I became an anchor, I opened a computer repair shop. The technology is not bad, and there are many repeat customers."

The audience was amused by him: "Didn't you say that the technology is good? How come there are repeat customers?"

Li Yi smiled without changing his face: "Because I'm handsome."

The audience in the barrage was amused by him, Li Yixiao continued: "Then let's repair the computer live today. Computers are something that everyone has now. If the computer is broken, it must be more anxious than the water leak at home. Then I Today I will teach you some basic knowledge of computer repair.”

So on this day, Li Yixiao's gourmet anchor Daye's painting style changed suddenly, from cooking to repairing computers.He is not bragging, the technology is really good, and he repaired Xia Tianyu's computer in half an hour. In the following time, Li Yixiao was interacting with the audience, common problems of popular science computers, and how to deal with the problems, and even helped a few viewers solved computer problems remotely.

Audience: "I repaired my computer according to the method taught by the anchor. It's great. I planned to take it to the store for repair tomorrow."

Li Yi smiled proudly: "As long as you live a good life, you can do whatever you need. The method I teach will definitely be fine!"

In this way, today's Li Yixiao didn't do his job properly. He taught cooking for 10 minutes, taught computer repair for three hours, and even assigned "homework" to the audience to summarize today's learning experience.Let the viewers who opened the gourmet section of the live broadcast platform one by one, and clicked in, only to find that the anchor was repairing the computer, were confused.

Is this anchor poisonous?

&&&

"Everyone who repairs computers, repairs plumbing, delivers food, sells movies, hello everyone, I am your hospitable, eloquent and practical anchor Li Shisanxiao. Today we still have Learning how to cook home-cooked food, although we have not finished the first-day home-cooking course due to various accidents during the live broadcast two days ago, but there must be no problem today..." Li Yixiao opened the live broadcast room , started today's live broadcast.

Before the opening remarks were finished, Han Mai pushed the door in: "Smile, I have a video to be edited in post-production. Last time you said you would do this. Do me a favor."

Li Yixiao covered his face in front of the camera: "..."

Han Mai came into the camera, and smiled at the live broadcast camera: "Oh, it's live, then I won't bother you! I'll come to you after the broadcast!"

Several people in the audience watching the live broadcast recognized Han Mai, and began to call him "Brother Han", and the atmosphere in the live broadcast room suddenly became lively.

A bullet screen came faintly: "Brother, is this your cook? He is poisonous, and accidents happen every time he teaches others to cook."

Han Mai laughed: "He's my brother. He's not very lucky, but he's a nice guy. Please pay more attention and subscribe."

Li Yixiao smiled gratefully at Han Mai, it's better to be the eldest brother, and he also helped him gain popularity.

"It's okay, as long as you live a good life, you need to do whatever you need. Let me cut the video for you first. After all, you do good every day. To be honest, I was a millionaire post-host before I became an anchor, and the fee for a video starts at [-]. Refuse to bargain. Today I will teach you how to do basic editing by the way." Li Yixiao said.

Han Mai was very happy, but felt that this was not good. After the two declined, Li Yixiao slapped the table: "That's it! Anyway, I have to do something else every time I live broadcast. I'm not used to it!"

So on this day, Li Yixiao taught his audience some skills in video editing and post-production, including which software is more practical, which skills are worth learning, and which problems are especially easy for newcomers, which made the audience stunned.

"After watching the anchor's video, I seem to have learned how to cut the video." A viewer said.

Li Yixiao felt sad and funny at the same time.Although I am not cooking, I have taught others something.

"Isn't this very good, there will definitely be many people who need this kind of teaching video. Why don't you post it online and let others learn from it." Han Mai said.

Li Yixiao babbled for a long time, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, I'll cut it."

Hey, when will Mercury retrograde pass?

The author has something to say: Everyone knows the stalks of the two anchors here, right?It won't appear in the future, it's just a joke XD

The braised uncle in the previous chapter has no prototype.
