The Rebirth of the Internet Celebrity Godfather

Chapter 357 Family style funny route

Cheng Yi gestured to Brother Yang: "Sit down."

"Okay!" Brother Yang sat on the chair with half his buttocks and sat down obediently.

Seeing Brother Yang sitting down, Cheng Yi took the initiative to start the conversation: "Brother Yang, may I ask what your real name is?"

Brother Yang quickly straightened up and answered: "Zhang Qingyang."

"Oh~"

Cheng Yi nodded. Brother Yang's surname is not Yang, which is very reasonable.

Brother Yang looked at Cheng Yi's face and said hesitantly: "Mr. Cheng, why did you call me here today..."

"I wonder what Brother Yang thinks of my company?" Cheng Yi asked back.

"Your company?"

Brother Yang thought about his words for a while, and then said: "Your company is quite large, and has a clear division of labor. It also has many Internet celebrities under it, so it can be said to be very powerful."

"You should have been contacted by MCN organizations before, right?" Cheng Yi asked.

Brother Yang said: "Yes, but I rejected them all."

"Why?"

"I'm not afraid of making the boss laugh if I say it." Brother Yang showed a shy smile and said, "Firstly, I feel that those companies cannot provide what I want. Secondly, I want to develop on my own."

"Dududu——", there was a knock on the door.

Cheng Yi said: "Come in."

A woman wearing a black OL professional attire held a cup of coffee and pushed the door open.

"I made you a cup of coffee." She bent down and placed the coffee in front of little Brother Yang.

"Oh, thank you, thank you so much!" Brother Yang clasped his hands together and thanked him repeatedly.

"You're welcome, please use it slowly!"

After saying that, the OL girl had a business-like smile on her face, twisted her slim waist, and left in a graceful manner.

While drinking coffee, Brother Yang secretly glanced at the woman's graceful waist with the corner of his eye.

His movements seemed hidden, but from Cheng Yi's perspective, his head was almost twisted to the back of his head.

Brother Yang took a sip of coffee.

"Hiss... hot, hot, hot!"

Brother Yang showed a mask of pain, and brown coffee flowed naturally from the corners of his mouth.

Cheng Yi thoughtfully handed him a napkin. Brother Yang looked a little embarrassed, lowered his head to take it, and wiped it off hurriedly.

"Brother Yang, have you thought about the type of video in the future? Or is it the current funny route?" Cheng Yi raised the topic in a timely manner.

"emmmm...not yet."

Rather than saying that it’s not there yet, it’s better to say that it’s been explored a little bit, but not completely.

Brother Xiao Yang actually entered the short video industry earlier than Cheng Yi. He joined Chopsticks Hands in early 2016.

Although Brother Yang is so popular in later generations, in fact, Brother Yang has been struggling for a long time and has gone through many transformations.

He initially did dance teaching, mechanical dance, break dancing, and sliding.

Not to mention, go watch his early videos, the mechanical dance is quite decent.

He has some talent in him.

In addition to dance instruction videos, his other video type is funny videos.

At this time, the protagonists of his videos were mostly Brother Yang himself, his roommates in the dormitory, and some social friends.

Little Brother Yang is not yet the "Internet Addicted Boy" of later generations and the "big grudge" who was pranked by his mother, Mama Yang, and his older brother, Brother Yang.

Most of them were taken with dormitory roommates, Brother Dayang acted ugly, tricked people, got beaten up, etc.

The style is very absurd, and it is a simple and crude comedy route.

At this time, although Brother Yang, Sister Yang, Father Yang, and Mother Yang have also created Chopsticks Hand accounts, the comment areas under their Chopsticks Hand accounts are also very popular.

But the "Little Yang Brother Family" and the family story have not yet been officially born.

If you give him half a year, he can go back to the route of his previous life.

But it's a pity that no one will give him this time. The opportunity for development that he originally had in time and space is gone because he was targeted by Cheng Yi.

Cheng Yi's strategy is very simple and crude. If he can bring Brother Yang under his banner, that would be the best. There is no need to pay more costs.

First of all, this book is what Xiao Yang should have. Cheng Yi respects originality and doesn't want to block the way of others.

Secondly, talent is talent after all. He has the ability to sustain innovation. After signing him, Cheng Yi does not need to worry too much.

But if Brother Yang doesn't want to join Cheng Yi, then Cheng Yi can only be ruthless and train a Brother Yang to be his second choice.

...Speaking of which, how does this resemble the behavior of that Antarctic creature?

If you can invest, invest, if you can't invest, just copy?

And in this life, because of the emergence of Cheng Yi, the threshold for the entire comedy category has been raised.

Brother Yang is still the same Brother Yang in his previous life, but his videos and jokes are not as popular as in his previous life. As a result, his number of fans is still around one million.

At this point in his previous life, his number of fans should have reached 2 million, or even close to 3 million.

Cheng Yi looked at Xiao Yang and said, "Actually, I watched all of your videos."

Brother Yang raised his head in surprise.

Cheng Yi continued: "I just saw your video, so I wanted to sign you because I think you have great potential."

"But I...", Brother Yang blurted out the words he had been brewing for a long time.

Cheng Yi quickly raised his hand to stop and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry, this is my condition."

He handed a contract on the table to Brother Yang to read.

Brother Yang reached out and took it. After opening the contract, he was stunned when he saw the long series of zeros.

"This is...one million!?"

Cheng Yi smiled like an ordinary person and said: "I have four more contracts for the same contract."

He handed over four more contracts.

"This is..." Brother Yang looked confused.

"This is your mother..."

"???"

Brother Yang caught the keyword and raised his head: Why are you swearing?

Cheng Yi showed an apologetic smile: "Let me reorganize the language."

"This is your mother's..."

Brother Xiao Yang:(Д)ノ

This is not right at all!

Cheng Yi took a deep breath and said quickly: "This is your mother's, your father's, your girlfriend's, your brother's... contract!"

"Their?"

Brother Yang quickly opened it.

He saw that Cheng Yi wrote 800,000 yuan to his brother Dayang, and 400,000 yuan to his mother, father and girlfriend each.

In other words, including him, Cheng Yi gave a total of three million.

Now Cheng Yi is worth hundreds of millions, and three million means nothing to him. If he can win over the person who will be the first person to sell goods in the future, there will be a steady stream of three million.

But three million, for the current little Brother Yang, is a huge sum of money, a huge amount of money that can make him rich and free.

In front of this huge sum of money, he showed the swaying and fascination of ordinary people.

On the one hand, he has a huge sum of three million at his fingertips and the strong support of Chengyi Company. On the other hand, he insists on his own path, but the road ahead is confused and he does not know the direction.

His current situation is like that of Xiao Ma, who wanted to sell QQ at the most difficult time.

It's a pity that Xiao Ma wanted to sell it for 1 million, but no one took the offer.

Brother Yang is doing better, he is now troubled by happiness.

Cheng Yi continued: "You also saw that I gave five contracts because through your video analysis, I think you can take the family-style comedy route."

"Family funny route?"

It was as if a bolt of lightning resounded in Xiao Yang's mind. Many things that he couldn't figure out before were now suddenly figured out and suddenly understood.

Cheng Yi's words continued: "The so-called family style comedy route is to create funny effects through family relationships and shoot some interesting things that happen in the family and interesting things between family members.

In your video, there is actually a certain prototype of a family-style comedy line, but you have not focused on creating it, including the relationship between family members, positioning, and personality."

"Then what should we do?" Brother Yang asked.

Cheng Yi said: "Actually, you can create a series. Why not call it the Desperate Weekend series? For example, you can be positioned as an Internet addicted boy, and you can be set up around the "Internet addicted boy" character. Your brother keeps playing tricks on you. He is playing tricks on you.

During your process, your mother, your father, and your girlfriend also appeared in varying degrees. After a few episodes, the characters of your family members will naturally be fixed."

"Mr. Cheng, is this what you told me?" Brother Yang asked.

Cheng Yi spread his hands: "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you afraid that I won't sign a contract with you after listening to your suggestion?"

Cheng Yi said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, you know, what is lacking these days is not Internet celebrities, what is lacking is creativity."

Cheng Yi didn't finish the other half of the sentence, but Brother Yang understood it.

The other half of the sentence implicit is:

I have this idea, and I can go to any Internet celebrity. It doesn’t have to be you! But you can’t do it without my idea. Without this idea, I will cut off one possibility of your future development.

In fact, Brother Yang has another choice, which is to use Cheng Yi's creativity but not sign with Cheng Yi, but compete with Cheng Yi in the ring.

But this option with the highest cost performance is destined to be the stupidest option.

Are you crazy if you want to compete with Cheng Yi?

Not to mention that Chengyi Company has such abundant capital and complete ideas, let’s just say that he is the top Internet celebrity in the entire Internet.

One of his fans can drown him with just a drop of spit.

Brother Yang showed a tangled look on his face:

"Mr. Cheng, because it involves my family, I can't decide on my own. Can you let me go back and think about it, and let me discuss it with my family?"

"Of course! I'm always waiting for your call."

Cheng Yi rang the phone on his desk and said, "Xue Ying, send Brother Yang away. Also, give him my phone number."
