Chapter 38: A Vision Beyond the Boss
When a person is poor and wants to make money.
Time will pass quickly.
Two weeks will pass in the blink of an eye.
During this period, Shen Jian lived almost entirely between two points.
During the day, I go to the company to continue learning about acting and celebrity-related training.
In the evenings, he goes home and does an hour-long live stream to cultivate his public image and make some money to support himself.
[King of Jokes (Level 2): 185/200]
[Down-to-earth (Level 1): 89/100]
After several days of effort.
With both a quirky and down-to-earth persona, they're only a little bit away from completing their current level.
And "I'm counting on you, my refrigerator" is also set to premiere this Friday.
Shen Jian estimated.
After Friday, you should be able to complete the character development and claim your rewards.
You'll be able to get 3 character points by then.
Adding the one I already have, that makes a total of four points.
If he's preparing for a stand-up comedy show, he can spend two points to upgrade his oratory skills from proficient to expert.
As for the remaining two points, you can either start a new character design or unlock your talent tree.
I'm still really looking forward to it.
Lying on the sofa, Shen Jianzheng was reading a book while eating the recently popular candied hawthorn with milk skin.
Suddenly, a WeChat message interrupted his studies.
He took it out and looked at it.
Someone in the group tagged him.
[Liangmu: @Shenjian, are you there?]
[Shen Jian: What do you mean?]
[Liangmu: Post a Douyin video later to promote the Friday refrigerator live stream, and then I'll have Xiaoyou and the others help you repost and follow up with marketing accounts.]
[Shen Jian: Okay, no problem.]
[Lin Youyou: Sigh, more overtime. My mood instantly sours. So depressing.]
[Zhang Shan: Frustrated +1]
[Li Si: Not beautiful +1]
[Shen Jian: Is working overtime really that unbearable?]
[Lin Youyou: Nonsense…]
[Shen Jian: Don't bottle up your unhappiness, okay? I suggest you check your account balance and have a good cry.]
[One more hilarious joke]
[Lin Youyou: ...]
[Zhang Shan: ...]
[Li Si: ...]
[Liangmu: You stole the bamboo shoots!]
[Yang Tianzhen: Shen Jian, can't you speak like a human being?]
[Shen Jian: No, gossip is a fearsome thing.]
[Yang Tianzhen: ...?]
[Goodwood:…]
[Lin Youyou: -_-||]
[One more hilarious joke]
I closed the WeChat group.
Shen Jian directly opened his Douyin (TikTok) backend.
[Followers: 150 million+]
The rate at which I'm gaining followers recently has actually been pretty good.
It has grown from the initial 120 million followers to over 150 million.
However, it still falls short of the number of fans of true top-tier celebrities.
Even a typical A-list celebrity has at least seven or eight million or even tens of millions of followers, and any video they post can easily get a million likes.
Fan Chengcheng danced the 'suma dance' that was popular not long ago, and it instantly generated tens of millions of views.
This kind of traffic is something that ordinary internet celebrities can only envy.
Shen Jian hasn't been filming many short videos lately.
Many people have also sent him private messages asking about him.
When will the inspirational literature for illiterate people be updated?
He didn't expect so many people to like it.
It seems that his family members are just like him, positive and energetic people.

[Shen Jian v@Official Account of "I'm Relying on You, Refrigerator"]
After editing the title.
Turn the phone camera around.
Start recording directly:
Shen Jian: "Family members, I was chatting with a colleague on WeChat today. She said she was feeling down and depressed from working overtime. Seeing her, I suddenly had some thoughts, so I'd like to say a few words:"
When I was young, I often heard older people say that I had to work hard and endure hardship in order to succeed. But after working hard for many years, I found that I hadn't succeeded and all I had left was that I was no longer young.
So I understand a principle: if you don't listen to the elders, you'll be comfortable all year round; if you don't work hard at your job, you'll become more and more complacent!
And have you noticed?
When you want to ask for leave, your boss is unhappy.
But you're actually happy when your boss asks for leave.
Why?
That's because your vision is far broader than your boss's! So be confident when you go out!
remember,
Effort doesn't guarantee success, but giving up will definitely bring mental and physical relief; working overtime doesn't guarantee making money, but not working overtime will definitely be sweet!
Tomorrow night, Friday, I'll tell you my boss is leaving get off work early. Tune in to iQiyi's video series, "It's all up to you, Refrigerator," I'll be in it.
The video is finished.
Shen Jian clicked "Publish".
...
...
in the afternoon.
Yixin Entertainment Building.
Agents' meeting room.
"President Yang, he's just a newcomer. Variety shows are just a formality for him. I think the company should focus its training on the professionally trained artists I'm managing."
"Sun Tzu, I think your statement is too extreme."
Sun Wu straightened his suit and looked at Liang Mu:
"Good agent, I'm telling the truth. Those formally trained newcomers have acting skills and singing ability. Any one of them can be quite presentable. In what way do you think they are not better than an internet celebrity?"
The company has only so many resources. It would be a waste of time and resources to hire a coach just to get on a talk show.
After the man finished speaking...
Liangmu did not respond, but simply lowered his head and remained silent.
A talk show about Shen Jian.
Liangmu was actually planning to find him a mentor in the industry.
But this requires support from the company.
So at the agents' meeting, the idea was raised to use company connections to find a stand-up comedian.
As soon as it was brought up, it was met with some ridicule and sarcasm.
During this period, there has been a lot of discussion about Shen Jian within Yixin Entertainment.
To put it bluntly, most people still don't have a high opinion of illiterate internet celebrities becoming stars.
Not to mention his participation in high-difficulty variety shows like stand-up comedy.
If a company is involved in the production or has invested in a program, they might be able to pre-determine a ranking in order to promote a particular person.
However, "XiDan" is produced by a major platform, and with so many people in the industry watching it, it's impossible to fake it.
Stand-up comedy is all about skill; if you do it well, it's good, and if you don't, it's bad. The audience isn't stupid.
So, since they already knew they were destined to be cannon fodder, many dedicated agents felt there was no need to continue investing.
"Shen Jian's contract is a B-type contract."
Yang Tianzhen glanced at Sun Wu and said calmly, "The company's B-level resources actually include the costs of packaging and training, so it's reasonable to find him a stand-up comedy teacher."
Sun Tzu was clearly unconvinced after hearing this.
In fact, it wasn't just him; other young agents also felt that Yang Tian had been focusing too much on this internet celebrity lately.
"Mr. Yang, let's stick to the facts and not talk about the actors that the company poached from Beijing Film Academy and Central Academy of Drama."
Take Zhou Zifeng for example, I've been mentoring him since last year, and he's lost 40 pounds. Such a hardworking kid, shouldn't he receive even more recognition?
Liangmu: "Manager Sun, being a newcomer isn't about being skinny."
Sun Tzu smiled and asked, "Then what are we comparing?"
Liangmu: "Shen Jianyou has his own starting point, which is something many newcomers don't have."
Sun Wu laughed: "With only that many followers on Douyin? How much buzz can that generate?"
Liangmu: "150 million followers is not a lot, but traffic and topics are a different story. Let the data speak for itself."
After saying that, Liangmu directly connected his phone to the screen mirroring.
Then I opened Shen Jian's account.
"Tomorrow, 'Refrigerator' will premiere. This is his promotional video for himself."
At this moment, the latest video at the top of Shen Jian's account was posted at 9:30 AM.
It's been less than eight hours.
But then everyone's expressions froze.

Data analysis shows that the platform's popularity has reached over 9 million views and is about to break 10 million.
In the video, Shen Jian's voice came through:
"Family members...you have a broader perspective than the boss! Be more confident!"
Yang Tianzhen: "..."
Sun Tzu: "???"
Ryogi: "Ahem."
