Bang!
A fist slammed heavily on the desk, causing the laptop placed on it to jump. The screen fluctuated a few times before stabilizing again. What was displayed on the screen was the hot list of Inspur blog.
Gu Lei picked up the bottle of mineral water on the bar and gulped it down in one gulp. His eyes were glued to the screen, and he squeezed the empty plastic bottle in his hand until it made a cracking sound, just like his mood at the moment.
In just a few hours, his popularity on Waves Blog dropped by three places and directly fell off the homepage list.
The Internet world is vast and boundless, and there are countless news transmitted through the Internet every day. As the largest online community platform in China, Waves Blog can reflect current hot events to a large extent.
Because of this, the hot list on the homepage of Waves Blog is updated very quickly. Because there are new and even big events every day, it attracts tens of millions of netizens to comment, click, and forward.
It's just that no event can maintain enough freshness forever. Today's world-shaking event may not be talked about by many people in two days because everyone is attracted by the new information.
Some time ago, Gu Lei desperately hyped up his popularity, and finally got on the hot list of the home page of Inspur blog as he wished. It is reasonable to say that he should be satisfied after a few days on it. It is difficult for many star artists to show their faces.
But Gu Lei is very unhappy, very dissatisfied!
"How do you do things? We paid the money that should be paid, didn't we? We agreed to stay on the homepage for at least a week, but now it has fallen off after only three days. What do you think we should do! "
He spewed all the depression and annoyance in his heart at the two men sitting opposite him, resisting the urge to beat them up.
Gu Lei's temper has always been bad. When he first switched to the film and television industry, he suffered a lot because of his bad temper and almost couldn't make it in.
Later, he hit the wall and his head was bleeding. Finally, he came to his senses and restrained his nature and temper. He was careful with his tail between his legs. When it was time to be a grandson, he knelt down and did not hesitate. Finally, the clouds parted to see the moon.
After becoming famous, Gu Lei would occasionally act like a big shot, but he didn't dare to go too far. After all, he hadn't made it to the top level, and it was not easy to act like a big shot. If he offended someone he shouldn't provoke, he might be beaten back to his original state overnight.
However, his recent fame had caused his temper to rise, and today, he finally couldn't hold it in any longer.
The fact that he didn't beat them up was already the result of him enduring for a long time.
In fact, Gu Lei also had a reason to be angry. He and the company he signed a contract with had invested millions in the hype, and had hired the industry's top marketing company for this.
The person he had just insulted was the business representative and professional speculator of this online marketing company.
It sounded a little unbelievable. Spending a few million just to hype himself up. In fact, in the industry, if you wanted to hype yourself up, you had to spend money. It was just that there were tens of thousands of speculation methods and hundreds of thousands of strategies.
Spending a few million might seem like a lot, but it was actually very normal if one thought about it carefully. For example, if one wanted to hire a promoter and gunman, they would have to spend as much money as they could if they wanted to have a good effect. They would also have to bribe media reporters and give them a lot of red packets. It might have been possible to become famous on the internet without spending money a few years ago, but it was impossible now.
Take a few big web portals for example. If one wanted to get into the entertainment section of the news, they would have to spend money to buy a position. It was even more expensive to get on the headlines. Writing a good article would cost thousands of yuan.
Gu Lei's weakness was that his reputation was not loud enough and his popularity was not strong enough. If he wanted to rely on hype to rise up, in addition to riding on the popularity of big names, he would have to be willing to spend money to hype himself up.
Gu Lei was not afraid of spending money. Anyway, he had the company he signed a contract with to back him up. The money he spent on hype now would sooner or later be earned back with interest.
However, he had spent a lot of money, and it took him a lot of effort to jump up and down. Seeing that his own hype was getting more and more popular, suddenly a big basin of cold water was poured down on him. How could he bear it?
He had just enjoyed the feeling of being in the limelight and everyone's attention. That was especially unbearable to be ignored by the public.
And looking at the top of the Waves blog's hot list, [Spring Breeze Is Not Like You], [Lu Chen's Love Poem], [Chen Fei 'er's Beautiful Photos] … There was even [Being Fed Dog Food Again].
Gu Lei felt that he was f * cked!
Casually counting, on today's Waves blog's hot list, there were as many as four or five posts related to Lu Chen.
And what did Lu Chen do?
Lu Chen only wrote a short poem. The content of fifteen words easily crushed him into slag!
It was really f * cking unbelievable.
Gu Lei did not want to admit how jealous he was of Lu Chen. He did not want to be inferior to Lu Chen. He did not think that he would benefit from riding on Lu Chen's popularity. He only felt that fate was unfair.
"You have to think of a way to stir up the popularity again!"
Regarding Gu Lei's tough request, the two marketing companies looked at each other.
In fact, they were also quite helpless. Nowadays, hyping up hot topics was considered a technical job. It was not possible to use brute force. Some time ago, the hype was already very strong. If they increased the effort, it would be as bad as not enough.
The most important thing was that the Waves blog had always strictly controlled the hype on the Internet. Although there were unspoken rules that could be exploited, if one crossed the line, it would be very difficult to deal with.
If you want to blame someone, you can only blame Lu Chen for being too abnormal. His hundreds of millions of fans in Inspur Blog were simply terrifying, and his influence was so great that almost no one could compete with him. He didn't need to accompany Gu Lei to fight at all. He just had an artistic interaction with Chen Fei 'er, and all his competitors were knocked into the dust.
Compared to the calm Lu Chen, Gu Lei was like a dancing clown on the street!
The difference was obvious.
The marketing company originally had a complete preparatory plan to deal with Lu Chen's possible reaction, whether it was counterattack or silence. There were corresponding countermeasures, but they did not expect Lu Chen's response to be so unique.
That was, you play your game, I play mine. Can you beat me?
Indeed, you can't beat me!
The marketing company's people were also helpless. They could not go against the wishes of the investor. Otherwise, how could they make money?
The sales representative coughed, patted his chest and said to Gu Lei, "Mr. Gu, please rest assured that our company will go all out to achieve the goal and help you get back on the hot list."
Gu Lei stared at him. "You said it yourself …"
Ding!
At this moment, a crisp and sweet sound came from the laptop.
The open blog page showed that Gu Lei's account had just received a new message.
Gu Lei's heart could not help but skip a beat. Suddenly, he had a bad feeling. He quickly held the mouse and clicked on the message.
The message indicated that the account he followed had just published a new blog post.
And this account was Lu Chen!
