During this Tomb Sweeping Day holiday, Lin Feifei did not hang out with her friends as usual. She stayed in "retreat" at home and was working hard on her first vlog.
Writing scripts and filming has become an essential daily routine for Lin Feifei.
But if you want to shoot a vlog well in the early stage, it is not that simple. You need to invest in patience, shoot frame by frame, and then edit and connect them into a video.
The videos we see on the app only look beautiful on the surface, but are actually very curly behind the scenes. You must be able to write copy, shoot, edit, and retouch pictures.
Lin Feifei worked hard and finally shot her first daily life vlog, but after posting it on the app, the number of views did not exceed three digits.
She was a little shocked. After sending the video to Song Tong, his feedback was affirmative and encouraging, and he also did some ideological work for her.
He encouraged Lin Feifei, saying that it was good to be able to shoot like this for the first time, and asked Lin Feifei to continue to persevere. Early investment is essential, fully develop the spirit of diligence and hard work, shoot more and post more, and keep the account active.
Lin Feifei was ready to keep up her efforts and rush forward one after another. I became anxious as soon as I heard this.
What he said was as good as not saying anything.
After hearing his voice, Lin Feifei covered her face and leaned back on the sofa, letting out a huge sigh.
"Hey... shooting a vlog is really annoying. After a week of hard work, it ended up with over 200 views and not a single like."
I sat down next to her, feeling her elastic young body, and comforted me: "If you listen to that person named Song Tong, then you may have to go to the street in the next video."
Lin Feifei's eyes flashed and she stared at me: "I think he is right. This thing needs to be kept active, so I just posted it. It's normal to rush into the street, don't you think so?"
"Yeah...that's right!"
"..."
Lin Feifei's eyes flickered several times in succession, and she said, dumbfounded, "Then tell me, what's wrong?"
"If you go in the wrong direction, your efforts will be in vain! If you do what he says and keep working stupidly, you will end up dead in the end."
"I think it's right that he asked me to work hard!"
"If my hard work pays off, I will do 996 every day. My parents are farmers. Our family farmed when we were young. They got up early and stayed late. They must work harder than us, but do you think they make money? They now work in sanitation, and their morning shift wake-up time is the same as yours. Almost like, I got my job at around four o'clock, but the money I make is much less than you, how can you say they don't work hard?"
Lin Feifei fell silent and did not refute me again.
"Then tell me, what should I do?"
I thought about it for a while and said, "I think first you have to find the right track. Which direction do you want to go in? It's definitely not possible to shoot life today and makeup tomorrow. And this kind of video must not be made into a running account for self-pleasure. A title like yours: Diary of Life on Rest Days is hard to attract people to read.”
I paused briefly and expressed my opinion.
"First of all, the most important thing about a vlog is not to shoot daily accounts, but the topic! What is the topic of your vlog today? Then choose a topical title. Like your video yesterday, you might as well call it: What is the flight attendant's day off like? Spent..."
I explained my concept of vlogging. Although shooting vlogs and doing live broadcasts are two different tracks, they still have something in common. Song Tong said to Lin Feifei that apart from pouring chicken soup, there is no practical information at all. From what he said From the feedback given to Lin Feifei, it can basically be judged that either he has nothing in his stomach, or he is just perfunctory with Lin Feifei.
There are so many bloggers under their organization, and sometimes signing people may be just one of his KPIs. As for how well they are doing, isn't there such a saying? The master leads you in. Cultivation is personal.
After I slowly explained my point of view, Lin Feifei's eyes suddenly lit up. She held the corner of my clothes with her beautiful white fingertips, her cheeks slightly bulging, "Husband, dear, please help me!"
She suddenly looked at me obediently, which really made me a little unable to resist, "Fuck! Can you talk to me properly? Don't be so arrogant."
"If you don't help me, I will destroy you."
I exhaled, this is the Lin Feifei I know.
Lin Feifei is determined to be a vlogger. For me, it has another arduous task. I positioned her as a life-healing type. Nowadays, people's lives are under great pressure. Many people around me are almost in knots, but they don't even dare to ask for leave. As long as it involves asking for leave, they have to do it for themselves repeatedly before asking for leave. Psychological construction, it seems that asking for leave means not working hard and being lazy. I feel that no matter what, my health always comes first. The busy scene of the hospital in the early morning lingers in front of my eyes until now.
Helping Lin Feifei, a novice, to vlog was a long and arduous task, so I first gained a lot of vlog knowledge.
Lin Feifei believes that if you want to be good at something, you must first sharpen your tools. She felt that the pictures taken with her mobile phone were a bit blurry, so she planned to buy a camera. This idea was immediately rejected by me.
In her opinion, the sense of ritual is greater than the substance of shooting. In fact, no matter what she does, completion is more important than perfection. For her, she only needs a mobile phone, a stand, and a mobile phone USB flash drive. I also funded her a radio microphone.
I wrote a script, the core content of which is to shoot the flight attendant's daily rest. The content starts from getting up. She first does a group of yoga stretches after getting up, then makes a delicate breakfast, unpacks the express, reads a book, and goes to bed at night.
Early the next morning, I deliberately got up before her and put the phone holder in front of the bed early.
In fact, this part could have been faked, but I wanted to make it more realistic.
I waited stupidly for my princess to wake up, just like praying for rain.
The alarm clock rang.
Lin Feifei rubbed her eyes gently and stretched lazily.
Her pajamas looked a little messy in the morning light, unintentionally giving off a comfortable and casual feel.
"Morning...fuck! What are you doing?"
Lin Feifei was startled when she found the phone facing her.
I pressed the stop button and said with a smile, "I'm filming a vlog! I'll film you getting up first."
"Let's see how the photo goes!"
Lin Feifei turned over and was about to get out of bed, but I immediately stopped her.
"Wait a minute!"
I took the phone off the holder, lay down on the floor, and said, "Get out of bed slowly, I want to pat your feet."
I learned this from watching a lot of vlogs. Lin Feifei slowly turned over and got out of bed, tapping her toes lightly on the ground.
A pair of long, white, slender and straight legs first appeared in the picture, and then a pair of elegant, upright, snow-white feet...
In the era of involution, it seems that everything that can be included is left unattended, and vlog is no exception. If you want to find a way out, you will undoubtedly have to walk on a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops.
