May 26th, Saturday morning …
Harbor City.
Lin Jiaqiang was sweating profusely on the smart fitness drying rack.
If Meng Chang saw Lin Jiaqiang now, he would definitely be very surprised. That was because Lin Jiaqiang had obviously lost weight compared to when he was filming the smart fitness drying rack commercial!
To be precise, he had lost 4kg in two weeks.
4kg was not a lot for Lin Jiaqiang's 100kg weight, but it was already very fast to lose so much weight in two weeks.
One could not blindly seek to lose weight quickly. 1kg a week was basically a safer and healthier speed. If it was any faster, there might be some health risks.
4kg might not be much for Lin Jiaqiang's weight, but the change in his appearance was quite obvious.
That was because Lin Jiaqiang had used the smart fitness drying rack to do a lot of strength training. He did not just lose fat. His muscle mass had also increased while his weight had decreased.
The increase in muscle mass would also cause the increase in weight.
In terms of density, muscle was three times denser than fat. In other words, if a 200-kilogram fatty trained himself into a 200-kilogram muscular man, his figure would be completely different even though his weight did not change.
Lin Jiaqiang had lost a lot of fat and trained a lot of muscles. Thus, even though his weight had not decreased by much, it looked quite obvious.
What's more, his complexion was much healthier.
"Don't be too tired. Rest well. I'll go up and see the children. "
Lin Jiaqiang's wife placed a sports drink beside Lin Jiaqiang's hand and went upstairs.
This staircase was not the staircase of a luxurious villa, but an ordinary duplex staircase.
Lin Jiaqiang's house in Harbor City was a small duplex. The height of the upper floor was very low, and his two daughters lived there. There were two beds in the room. There was not much space left after the bed and the table. The two children had to stagger their homework.
The distance between the bed and the ceiling was also very short. The two little fellows could still stretch their backs now, but if they grew older, they might bump into each other.
Downstairs was the living room, balcony, master bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The combined area of the upper and lower floors was less than 80 square meters. The overall function was considered complete.
This was already considered a rather spacious residence in Harbor City.
After all, the per capita living space here was only 15 square meters, and this figure was averaged by many local tycoons who had bought villas and mansions.
Lin Jiaqiang had made his debut early. At that time, he and Zhang Zuting and a few other brothers were popular. They had also earned some money from filming movies. That was why they had bought this house. If it had been an ordinary family, they would not have been able to afford it.
Even so, Lin Jiaqiang had put in a lot of effort to provide for this house.
It was fine when she was popular. She didn't have to worry about paying her mortgage, and she could go out to have fun every now and then. But then his career went from bad to worse, and he was forced to be frugal, and his life became quite tight.
During the poorest period of his life, Lin Jiaqiang would accept any commercial performance, regardless of the price. At his worst, he could only rely on Zhang Zuting and a few of his old friends to survive.
But it was finally better now.
The smart fitness drying rack was placed on the balcony. His wife almost lost her temper with him when this thing was first sent home.
Although this thing was free, it took up space!
The residential area in Hong Kong City was generally small, so the use of space was almost done to the extreme. Not an inch could be wasted. The smart fitness drying rack took up three square meters of space on the balcony, making the already narrow balcony even worse. It was no wonder that his wife was angry with him.
His wife finally reluctantly accepted it after hearing that the seat could be folded and the clothes could be dried on it.
However, she only accepted it, not accepted it.
Lin Jiaqiang's wife felt that Lin Jiaqiang would definitely not be able to use it more than a few times, so she made a pact with Lin Jiaqiang. As long as it collected dust for a period of time, she would sell it or dispose of it as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaqiang persevered!
Every day, he would follow the characters in the game to train his body. After training, he would be able to get a lucky draw with the calorie coins. Even the scenes of training were very cute and adorable.
Slowly, his wife became interested. After using it a few times, she liked it. She even specially created a new account for herself and started training from the beginning.
Seeing that Lin Jiaqiang had indeed achieved some results, his wife stopped talking about selling the smart fitness drying rack. Not only did she train with him, but she also studied the drying function of this thing every day. She was also full of praise for the drying function of the drying rack and the function of artificial intelligence to remind people to collect clothes.
At first, his wife wanted Lin Jiaqiang to go to the gym, but she gave up in the end.
That was because it was inconvenient to run back and forth to the gym far from home, and the nearby gym was more expensive. The monthly fee for a high-end gym with fewer people was more than a thousand yuan, not including the private training fees.
The monthly fee for the gym was a long-term expenditure. It was not a small amount of money for their family's current financial situation.
Now, the price of the smart fitness drying rack was about the same as the price of a fitness card for half a year. What's more, it was free. The fitness effect was not bad, so he no longer considered the gym.
Finally, Lin Jiaqiang finished his workout and went to take a shower.
Not long after he came out, he received a call.
"Mr. Lin Jiaqiang, right? Hello, hello, I'm an official staff member of Aili Island's website. I'm now inviting you to join our website. Your good friend, Mr. Zhang Zuting, and the others are also invited … "
"If you're willing, please register an account on our website. We will give you an official certification and some recommendation resources. Of course, it's best if you send a video to greet your fans. That way, it'll be easier to attract traffic … "
Lin Jiaqiang listened to the official staff's introduction seriously and quickly said, "Of course I'm willing! Thank you so much! "
In the past two years, Aili Island's website had been expanding rapidly as the largest bullet screen video website in the Mainland.
In order to attract traffic, it was also a common method to invite some celebrities.
Originally, Lin Jiaqiang was a little outdated. Logically speaking, the priority of the invitation should not be that high. However, the Bloody Battle Song advertisement that he had filmed previously had been repeatedly criticized by netizens. He and Zhang Zuting could be considered as the all-star lineup of the 'Hot-Blooded Five Brothers'.
In addition, he had recently endorsed the smart fitness drying rack and appeared in the eyes of netizens again. He had caused a group of netizens to become ghostly and mischievous. Thus, he had received an invitation from Aili Island's website.
Of course, this was something that Lin Jiaqiang could not ask for more.
Even though entering Aili Island's website did not have much practical benefits, the attention and popularity could bring him business cooperation. He could also use this opportunity to work hard to become popular.
Lin Jiaqiang did not think too much about it and immediately agreed.
However, he was immediately troubled. What should he shoot for the first video?
If it was a more conventional method, it would be nothing more than greeting everyone and hoping that everyone would pay attention to it.
However, such content was relatively empty and had no substance. In the end, the number of views and likes would definitely be very few. This account would also be easily forgotten.
For example, some gods in the music industry would first introduce themselves when they posted their first video. Then, they would write a tune on the spot. Such high-quality videos would be especially popular.
"Why don't I say a few classic lines from the previous movies or tease myself about the Bloody Battle Song advertisement?"
"I can sing my own ghostly songs, but I'm tone deaf. I'm afraid I'll lose fans."
"What's more, these methods seem to have been used before."
Lin Jiaqiang thought of a few ideas, but he was not very satisfied with them.
Aili Island's website would give some recommendation resources. After all, they were invited to enter. They had to give them some face.
However, they would probably only give them once.
There were so many videos on Aili Island's website, and the resources were limited. It was impossible for them to give them an unlimited number of videos.
Therefore, the first video was too important. If the effect was not good and it did not attract enough attention, not many people would pay attention to the videos he posted later. On the other hand, if the effect was very good, it would snowball smoothly and accumulate fans.
Lin Jiaqiang racked his brains but could not think of a good idea.
His wife was cleaning up the house. When she saw Lin Jiaqiang's conflicted expression, she asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Jiaqiang briefly explained the matter of Aili Island inviting him to enter. Then, he asked, "What video do you think I should shoot?"
His wife thought for a moment. "Don't you have videos of you clocking in at the gym? Wouldn't it be good to edit those videos and show everyone the results of your training? "
Lin Jiaqiang was enlightened. "Oh, that's right!"
During this period of time, he had been using the smart fitness drying rack to work out. He had also recorded the changes in his weight and body shape.
This was actually just a regular clocking in. It was to make fitness more ritualistic and fulfilling. It was also to make it easier for him to persevere.
Wasn't it quite appropriate to use this as the first video for his account on Aili Island?
He could edit these videos into a short video of about five minutes. Including his self-introduction, it would not take more than ten minutes.
It would not be boring for netizens because it was too long. It would be full of dry material and special enough.
The others must not have lost weight recently, right? Even if they had lost weight, it was impossible for them to lose 4kg and have such an obvious change in body shape, right?
What's more, Lin Jiaqiang had always played the supporting role of Fatty. His face was very recognizable. The fact that he was losing weight was very gimmicky. It would definitely attract the attention of a large number of netizens.
Not only would the first video be popular, but the popularity of the next few videos would also not be low. That was because everyone would definitely be very concerned about the latest progress of Lin Jiaqiang's weight loss.
At that thought, Lin Jiaqiang immediately went to the computer and found all the videos he had taken. He used a small clip each and edited it into a short video.
Apart from that, he also had a little selfishness. He hoped to advertise the smart fitness drying rack.
After all, he had paid a lot of money to endorse this product back then. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he had been eating, drinking, and playing. In the end, he did not even warm his butt when filming the advertisement. It was over in one take. He felt a little guilty.
Now, he would do his best to help publicize as much as he could!
