For those Weibo Vs I know, their paths to fame are somewhat “dirty”

- 01 -

Many people love to play Weibo. Weibo not only contains rich and timely information, but also has many famous celebrities.

Through the platform of Weibo, fans can follow the latest developments, words and feelings of the big Vs at close range, and even interact with their idols.

Weibo is no longer just a media with social functions, but a wonderful world.

The people who get the most attention on Weibo are of course the big Vs. A shining golden V is added under their avatars, which is as glorious as being crowned with a crown.

So what kind of people can add V?

In the impression of ordinary people, this is a privilege possessed by celebrities, entertainers, experts, scholars, executives of famous companies and other outstanding people in society.

But can you believe it?

An ordinary person, just like you and me, who is too ordinary to be seen in the crowd, can start from scratch and become a Weibo V through his own efforts.

Yes, the deepening of the Internet and the development of multimedia platforms have given countless grassroots people the opportunity to become popular.

Many Internet celebrities we are familiar with today were originally ordinary members of the public. In foreigners’ terms, they were nobody.

Many big Vs on Weibo started out as little soldiers.

Words are not true, seeing is believing. There is such a man of God beside me.

I had never interacted with Lao Wang, my former colleague in the company, but suddenly one day I heard that he was a super Internet celebrity lurking in the company, with more than one million fans on Weibo!

So colleagues began to tell the secret history of Badao Wang’s fortune.

We only know that Lao Wang is a nouveau riche with great luck. He married an aboriginal wife from a first-tier city, and his father-in-law’s family caught up with the demolition and was allocated several apartments and a lot of cash.

Mr. Wang fell in love with real estate and wondered which houses were worth every day. Then he used the bonuses he had on hand and invested in a few more houses.

At the same time, he posted his real estate speculation experience on several well-known forums and Weibo, and gradually became famous, and the number of fans also soared.

When the company laid off employees a few years ago, Lao Wang found another company to continue working. But no matter where he works, the salary is probably just his pocket money.

He is now a famous real estate influencer on Weibo. In addition to his usual work, he also attends some offline real estate forums and press conferences from time to time.

Because I heard that in addition to the income from fixed assets at home, Lao Wang also had a lot of windfall.

Lao Wang’s income is as high as one million every year just from sharing in the secret circle and paid Q&A on Weibo!

I also followed Lao Wang, but of course Lao Wang didn’t know me, a nobody.

But over time, I found that Lao Wang is very controversial on the Internet. There are three main flaws:

1. He likes to pretend to be X. Many people report that he always looks like a top class person. The face of the elite, intentionally or unintentionally, mocks and ridicules the young people struggling in big cities. They always say, "A person who earns one million a year in a first-tier city can only be considered to have just escaped poverty."

2. He is narrow-minded. Anyone who dares to criticize or oppose him on Weibo will be immediately blocked by him.

3. Accepting random advertisements. He has endorsed some real estate projects and tricked people into buying houses there. However, it was also revealed that those real estate projects did not have much investment value.

During the recent epidemic, I saw someone on the Internet exposing him for encouraging others to go to Wuhan to buy a "haunted house" at a low price. It was a house that was vacated because a family member fell ill and died. He was scolded for being unconscionable.

Marx has long said that the history of rich people's fortunes is often unclean, with blood and filth flowing from every pore.

I have to say that among the few Weibo Vs I know who started from scratch, basically everyone takes a different approach and walks on the edge of moral boundaries.

Maybe for those who really want to be famous, if they completely take the right path and promote positive energy, no one will pay attention to them.

If you want to be popular on Weibo, you must have three major characteristics:

1. Talented, own or a team that operates Weibo accounts Have in-depth research in a certain aspect and be able to continuously output high-quality and popular content;

2. There are not many people who are willing to spend money and truly start from scratch. In the early days, many people Rely on "buying fans" to gain popularity;

3. Know how to hype, and are good at using current hot topics to promote themselves and attract traffic to themselves, commonly known as "buying popularity".

A famous blogger I follow is also a big V with millions of fans. This man is a lawyer who works in Beijing. His online name has the word "Imperial City" in it, so fans affectionately call him "Uncle Huang."

Uncle Huang often expresses his views on international and domestic current affairs and hot news on Weibo, and uses his own legal expertise to analyze and summarize.

Perhaps because he is a legal practitioner, his expressions are very logical and his views are objective and neutral, so he is deeply loved by fans.

But over time, I found that he still had some problems.

One is that he insists on posting 5-10 Weibo posts almost every day. These Weibo posts are not relaxed moods or essays, but commentaries on current affairs, each of no less than 500 words.

No matter what he writes, there are problems in doing so.

You must know that writing comments on current affairs is not writing a joke. Before writing, you need to conduct research and analysis to understand the ins and outs of the matter. What you write must be clear and organized, with unbiased views, smooth writing, and accurate words. .

There is no success in writing an article. After writing it, you have to think about it again and again. Otherwise, if a casual review is posted in front of so many readers, if there is a slight mistake, it will overturn in a minute!

Therefore, it takes a lot of time for an article to go from conception to writing to completion, no matter how talented a person is in writing.

So how much time does this blogger who has his own job spend writing Weibo every day? That doesn’t include time spent interacting with fans.

Besides, being a lawyer is a professional and knowledge-based job. Several lawyers I know are busy from morning to night and often travel for business.

In addition to working on their own cases, lawyers in large law firms also engage in team building. The entire team of lawyers holds analysis and study sessions together under the leadership of their mentors. How can a really good lawyer have time to go online and post on Weibo?

Secondly, the emperor’s uncle used legal knowledge to interpret world affairs and won applause from fans. But most fans don't understand the law and don't know whether what he said is right or not.

Because Uncle Huang is very well-known, I also searched for comments about him on Zhihu.

Uncle Huang once commented on a very famous company case, but several senior judges and lawyers commented on him: his professional knowledge is only at the college level, the pattern is not high, and he has no understanding of the actual company operations. The methods and means are not understood.

The emperor’s uncle introduced himself that his field of practice is civil commerce, but it is not a glorious thing to be slapped in the face professionally.

Everyone has their own career plans, but I am opposed to the behavior of being indulging in being an Internet celebrity without doing your proper job without doing your job well or being proficient in professional business.

Why do young college students always like to give pointers and talk about the world, while adults often stay away from big topics such as international politics?

Because the richer your social experience, the more you feel that there are many different professions. Each profession has its own knowledge, technology, rules and methods. If you don’t understand it, don’t interrupt.

Even elite lawyers like Jin Dong can often only delve deeply into the law in a certain professional direction, and their knowledge and talent are not enough to support the study of world affairs.

Finally, when the emperor's uncle comments on international events, he often compares foreign political systems with China's, and then concludes that "China will win" and "China will win". The strongest" conclusion.

Such a conclusion can easily arouse fans to climax.

That’s not to say that what he said is necessarily wrong, but how much do ordinary people know about international politics and the political systems of various countries? Most people can chat casually, but if a big influencer talks about something he is knowledgeable about, he will inevitably mislead others.

Sometimes, patriotism is also a business. Some people claim to be patriotic just to create publicity and attract fans.

Although many Internet celebrities’ path to fame has been criticized, it is undeniable that the development of the Internet has also brought opportunities for every Chinese to show themselves, and the world has become flatter as a result.

But the online virtual world is still a projection of reality after all, and Weibo also has the same kinds of things as in society.

Moreover, due to the epidemic, the number of companies and individuals allowed to work from home will gradually increase, and software applications that support online working will also usher in development opportunities.

Then, the continuous development of online technology will also change the way Chinese people work. Freelancers who used to be considered inconspicuous, such as Weibo Vs, video bloggers, short videos, live broadcasts, and paid knowledge Practitioners may enter the hall in the future.

We can keep our eyes open, and while obtaining information and help through Weibo, we must also actively identify the good and the bad.

New things always have advantages and disadvantages.

Finally, no matter how colorful the Weibo and videos on the Internet are, reading is always the first choice for seeking knowledge. Classic books are all fine products that can withstand the test of history and survive the survival of the fittest in the ocean of knowledge. Reading good books is more efficient than learning fragmented knowledge online.
