Chapter 1108 I Become Famous Finally!
“Huh? Tsunami Hero posted a new video?”
As soon as the short video was released, it was seen by this man’s fans.
His nickname on Tsunami was Tsunami Hero.
According to him, he wanted to be like a chivalrous hero and show his fans a world that ordinary people could not see, so he had done all kinds of videos. Unfortunately, he had such bad luck that none of his short videos were recommended by the app, so it was hard for other Tsunami users to see them. And that was why he was unpopular.
Although he was not popular, he still had a few fans.
When his few fans saw the latest short video he updated, they were instantly shocked by its content.
They watched the 15-second video over and over again, making sure to see every single word in it.
After that, they immediately became excited and started leaving all kinds of comments.
“This video must be labeled as high-quality!”
“Recommend it, Tsunami!”
“I bet this video will go viral. If not, I’ll eat shit!”
“Is this true?”
“Are you kidding? Fang Qiu actually did something so great?”
“I have to go search for it quickly. I’m not familiar with Fang Qiu. I heard that he used to be popular, but I didn’t pay much attention to him. If he really did something this great, I’d like to be his fan.”
“A few days ago, the news that Fang Qiu was going to Africo to treat malaria seemed to be a hot topic. I remember that at that time, there were a lot of discussions about it on Weibo. I didn’t expect that in just a few days, he should have found a cure for malaria. He’s really awesome.”
Soon, the number of comments exceeded 10.
The moment Tsunami Hero saw the comments, he began to interact with his few fans, full of expectation, trying to create a fake image of his short video being hot so as to attract more people to stop and watch it.
“About 11 months ago, Fang Qiu made an appointment with the president of the Union of the Comores in Africo that he would help Comores cure malaria within a year. It was not until a week ago that Fang Qiu went there to treat malaria. I didn’t expect that he found a cure for it in a mere week and got official praise from Comores. He’s really amazing.
“It’s 100% true. I got access to the official website of the Union of the Comores through a proxy server and took this picture from there. Its content was also translated by the search engine. There’s absolutely no mistake.”
Tsunami Hero would reply to almost every comment and interact and discuss with his fans.
Of course, his few fans did more than just discuss.
They also gave likes to the video. It was a shame that each of them could only give one like. Otherwise, they could have shattered their phone screens by clicking them!
At the same time, the fans also knew that this was a piece of breaking news. They all helped Tsunami Hero mention Tsunami’s official account and asked for the short video to be recommended with all kinds of comments.
Their hard work paid off.
Soon, this short video was seen by a staff member of Tsunami.
After making sure that there was no violation of the rules, the staff member got the video approved directly before sending it to the editor in charge of recommendation without any delay.
“Fang Qiu found a cure for malaria in Africo and was thanked by the Union of the Comores?
“He won glory for our country.”
Seeing the content, the editor didn’t hesitate to label the short video as high-quality and directly pinned it on the home page.
Although there was no such thing as the home page of Tsunami, it had, in fact, been under the control of the company. In general, only the short videos released by extremely influential advertisers and some popular big stars that could help the company gain popularity were acquiesced to stay on the home page.
The short video pinned on the home page would become the first video that each Tsunami user would see after opening the app!
For those users who had been watching short videos on Tsunami, it was also very likely that they would see the short video.
In this way, the exposure of this short video invisibly soared hundreds of times, thousands of times, and even tens of thousands of times in an instant!
“Oh yeah, it was labeled as high-quality!”
When Tsunami Hero saw that his short video was labeled as high-quality, he was so excited that he couldn’t speak.
After making so many videos in the past year, he finally had one that was labeled as high-quality today, which almost made him cry with joy!
And his fans congratulated him in the comments section, waiting for his popularity!
After this short video was labeled as high-quality, its number of views exceeded 5,000 in just three minutes!
Of course, no one could see the number of views except for Tsunami Hero.
“5,000 views and more than 1,000 likes.”
It had only been three minutes.
Tsunami Hero was thrilled.
It should be noted that the number of views didn’t mean that much. Although one had to watch the whole 15-second short video to be considered a view, among the people who could finish watching it, there were inevitably some people who didn’t pay attention to it or simply put their mobile phones aside without watching it.
In this case, the ratio of more than 1,000 likes to 5,000 views was simply too shocking!
Under normal circumstances, when the number of views of a short video on Tsunami reached 1,000, it would only get 25 likes at most, so the ratio of views to likes was 40:1. However, the ratio of views to likes of this short video actually reached a shocking five to one.
That was a shocking ratio!
Just when Tsunami Hero was shocked by the steep rise in the number of views and likes, the number of comments in the comments section soared wildly. After five minutes, the number of comments had exceeded 10,000!
He was stunned in an instant after refreshing it and taking another look.
That was because he saw the number of likes of his short video exceeded 500,000, and the number of views even reached an amazing 1.3 million!
Moreover, the numbers were still soaring!
In the meantime, the short video got hundreds of thousands of comments and tens of thousands of reposts!
These numbers made Tsunami Hero so surprised and thrilled!
He took another look and found that the number of his fans, which was previously a single-digit number, had successfully exceeded 30,000!
“I become famous finally!
“Hahaha…”
Tsunami Hero was so excited that he kept shouting and laughing.
He was excited beyond description.
He knew that if things went on like this, the various data of this short video would at least increase several times, and the number of his fans would definitely continue to grow!
“Go on. I must go on being famous.”
Tsunami Hero was not overwhelmed by the sudden happiness. Without saying a word, he put down his mobile phone at once, started working on his computer, and continued to search for news about Fang Qiu in Africo through a proxy server.
He knew that after his short video went viral, there would surely be a lot of people investigating and reporting on this matter, so he had to reveal all the valuable information before they could steal the limelight from him!
Only in this way could he continue to be popular, gain more fans, and become a celebrity on Tsunami!
Without a doubt, when Tsunami Hero tried his best to find information through a proxy server, the short video he posted on Tsunami was getting more and more popular.
As this video went viral, many people who saw this message reposted it on WeChat Moments and Weibo.
Compared with the relatively closed WeChat Moments, the videos reposted on Weibo received more attention!
The message sparked a heated debate on Weibo.
“What the fuck, did Fang Qiu really make it?”
“No way. Didn’t Fang Qiu go to Africo seven or eight days ago?”
“No wonder the ‘Three Billion Foundation’ was entrusted by the Ministry of Public Health to recruit 1,000 pharmaceutical talents to work in Africo. It turns out that it’s all because Fang Qiu found a cure for malaria.”
“Is malaria really cured?”
“Isn’t it said that malaria can’t be cured at all and can only be controlled?”
“Good job, Fang Qiu! You won glory for Chinese Medicine and Huaxia!”
“He’s really awesome. He deserves to be a miracle-working doctor. He even found a cure for malaria.”
“He’s brilliant. Chinese Medicine doctors in Huaxia are still the best all over the world. Huaxia Chinese Medicine doctors can cure any disease, no matter which country it comes from. I’ll see if those foreigners dare to look down on Chinese Medicine doctors in the future!”
Everyone left comments in shock.
Of course, most of the people expressed their admiration and amazement.
After all, in their opinion, Fang Qiu’s behavior really brought honor to Huaxia.
Even those who didn’t follow Fang Qiu thought he was so good, let alone those who supported him and his fans.
Nonetheless, some people were skeptical.
“Yech, what is this writing?”
“Where did this picture come from? Why can’t I find it online? Is it photoshopped?”
“Yes, how could it be possible for a country to make such an announcement to praise a person?”
“If it’s true, then Union of the Comores will certainly do something. How could its government just thank Fang Qiu casually? I haven’t heard of any reward for Fang Qiu from Africo. It’s obviously fake, isn’t it?”
“What a big talker! How dare the poster spread such a rumor?”
However, many posted a website link and some even taught the skeptical carefully how to search for this piece of news on the official website of the Union of the Comores through a proxy server.
As soon as they got access to the official website of the Union of the Comores, they found that it was true. Some even filmed how they searched for the message through a proxy server and the entire process of them using a search engine to translate the text.
The translated text was exactly the same as that in the short video. There was nothing fake about it at all.
Seeing the smoking gun, those who questioned the authenticity of the short video shut their mouths and had nothing to say.
After all, it was an announcement made by the Union of the Comores. How could it be false?
After the truth of the matter was confirmed, everyone was more shocked than ever.
“What happened exactly?”
“This must be the reason why the ‘Three Billion Foundation’ recruited 1,000 pharmaceutical talents, right?”
“Fang Qiu is awesome!”
The heated discussion on the Internet continued.
In the capital, when famed Director Chen Xiaogang saw the sudden, heated discussion, he smiled from ear to ear.
“Good, our movie ‘Yang Yizhi’ will be released in less than half a month, but we haven’t had time to publicize it intensively. The sudden hot topics about Fang Qiu are really timely.
“The attention he’s getting this time is amazing!”
Surprised, Director Chen Xiaogang immediately issued an order to upload the first trailer!
