Fortune Teller

When sleeping at night, Lin Yuanyuan suddenly asked, "Husband, do you really plan to let Xiaoyu be the anchor?"

Although she was in charge of finance in the Xinghai Guild, she still felt that it was a bit too unstable to take the anchor route.

How many people are anchors, but how many of them become popular and make money in the end?

Before, my husband also commented that the short videos made by my little brother were too rubbish, which showed that he had no talent.

"So let him give up completely."

Ye Cheng smiled.

Of course, it also gives Lin Xuanyu a chance.

Whether he can grasp it or not depends on him.

After all, Ye Cheng gave him this opportunity, which means that a certain anchor who should be famous in the future may disappear from everyone.

The next day.

Ye Cheng is having breakfast.

"Brother-in-law, hurry up; I'm waiting for you alone."

Lin Xuanyu sat next to him and urged.

"What are you doing in such a hurry? I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

Ye Cheng glanced at him and said it calmly.

He ate his breakfast slowly and then got up.

Lin Xuanyu has been made to lose his temper by Ye Cheng.

I finally arrived at the place.

This is the hotel entrance for Lin Xuanyu team members.

They often shoot short videos here.

"Hello, brother-in-law."

Others also said hello.

There is also a girl on the team who is average-looking but has a pretty good figure.

Including Lin Xuanyu, there are five people in total, one of whom is responsible for shooting and cutting short videos.

"Are all the things I asked you to prepare?"

Ye Cheng asked.

"Ready, but brother-in-law, why do you want to get these Meituan clothes and electric cars?"

Lin Xuanyu asked curiously.

Could it be that the filmed jokes have something to do with the Meituan delivery guys?

On Douyin, there are people who work as Meituan delivery anchors, and one is even quite popular.

It's just that none of them are Meituan delivery people, so what's the use of filming this?

"You put on your clothes."

Ye Cheng said.

Lin Xuanyu nodded and put on the Meituan clothes honestly.

"Brother Yu, you look a bit like a Meituan delivery person dressed like this. Come on, order some takeout for me."

Someone joked.

"Get lost; I'm the one who wants to be an internet celebrity."

Lin Xuanyu kicked the opponent.

Ye Cheng took a look at his brother-in-law's image.

He is quite tall—1.82 meters tall.

It's not that kind of bamboo pole. Because he likes to exercise often, he looks a bit strong.

After putting on the Meituan delivery clothes, I looked quite presentable.

It's a dry takeout ingredient.

"Brother-in-law, what will you do next?"

Lin Xuanyu asked impatiently.

Ye Cheng took out a piece of A4 paper that he had prepared a long time ago, handed it to his brother-in-law, and said, "Memorize the content on this for me. After practicing it repeatedly, if you feel that there is no problem, you can start shooting."

Lin Xuanyu took the paper and read it.

After a while, Lin Xuanyu's eyes widened. "Damn it, brother-in-law, what you're saying... I can only use one word to describe it: 6666666."

Others quickly gathered around, and after reading it, they were all in admiration.

Let's not talk about how the final filming went. Just the content of this joke is absolutely hilarious and has the potential to become popular.

And they are sure that there are absolutely no similar jokes on Douyin and other platforms.

Half an hour later, Lin Xuanyu finally finished memorizing it and said confidently, "Brother-in-law, I promise to do it in one go."

Ye Cheng smiled.

Start shooting.

"When I was eight years old, I met a fortune teller who told me that I would wear a yellow robe when I was 24 years old and that I would be accompanied by big fish and meat at every meal."

"I believe you, you bad old man; you are so bad; your calculations are so damn accurate!"

The whole paragraph is not very long.

But the lines are very classic.

In previous lives, this joke would not appear until the second half of 2018.

Now that Ye Cheng has filmed it in advance, it means that the late-blooming joker will probably not have a chance to get up.

After taking the photo, Ye Cheng looked at it several times, then shook his head and said, "The expression is very stiff and unnatural."

"The lines are not smooth, and there is a bit of a pause."

"There is also a problem with the shooting angle."

Ye Cheng was criticized.

Since he was going to shoot it, he had to buy it well. He couldn't let such a classic joke be ruined.

After taking dozens of photos, Ye Cheng finally showed a satisfied smile.

"I'm so exhausted. After filming it so many times, no matter how funny the jokes are, I feel like vomiting."

After Lin Xuanyu was liberated, he was extremely happy.

"Your shooting skills and acting skills are all so rubbish. If this joke becomes popular, you must train hard; otherwise, it will only become popular temporarily."

Ye Cheng spoke calmly.

"Brother-in-law, if this video becomes popular, can your studio sign our team?"

Lin Xuanyu rubbed his hands and asked expectantly.

"One of the biggest problems with your team is not that the performance level is poor or the shooting level is not good. The main problem is that there is no good screenwriter, and the subject matter that follows the trend can be so poor."

Ye Cheng said.

For a team that becomes popular through jokes, the most important thing is actually the screenwriter.

This is a soul-level figure.

Just like Zhu Dan's Boring Life, a short video that was very popular in the previous life, the director and screenwriter are crucial.

"Brother-in-law, what should we do?"

Lin Xuanyu asked.

"Then it's up to you to solve it yourself."

As Ye Cheng said that, he turned around and walked towards his car, leaving Lin Xuanyu troubled.

In the afternoon of the next day, Ye Cheng was taking a nap.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door, and then Lin Xuanyu barged in.

"Brother-in-law, it's popular; we're popular."

Lin Xuanyu was out of breath and said it with great excitement.

With that said, he handed the phone to Ye Cheng, who was still awake.

Ye Cheng shook his head. He felt dizzy when he was woken up from his nap. He glanced at the screen of his mobile phone. It was the fortune teller's joke he took yesterday.

More than 30,000 likes.

More than 800 comments.

The number of views has exceeded 100,000.

Although this data is not a big hit, it is still a small hit.

"It's okay, but it's not enough."

Ye Cheng said.

In his previous life, this joke was all over the Internet, so this late-blooming joker had more than five million fans in just a few months.

Relying on a joke to become a hit is definitely a classic example.

Lin Xuanyu's excitement gradually calmed down.

The main reason he was so excited was that he had never had a short video with so many likes and comments. Usually, he would play it and get dozens of likes and single-digit comments.

By the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Lin Yuxuan's short video of a fortune teller joke became a huge hit after being planned and promoted by netizens, coupled with the popular recommendation of Douyin officials.

The most significant result is Lin Yuxuan's Douyin account, which has gained hundreds of thousands of followers in just two days.

Before, his Douyin account only had a few thousand fans.

On this day, Ye Cheng is also preparing to return to Pengcheng.

"Brother-in-law, is it true that we can't take Lizi and the others with us?"

Lin Xuanyu was a little depressed.

"Xiaoyu, let me be honest with you. Your team has a lot of problems. Even if you have this joke to lay the foundation, it will only be popular for a while at most, and then people will leave and become completely obsolete."

Ye Cheng looked indifferent and said, "You are my brother-in-law; that's why I plan to support you. Don't blame my brother-in-law for being too blunt. This is reality. If they have potential, I will definitely be happy to cultivate it. However, judging from previous contacts, they don't have much potential, and they don't see the potential. Letting them follow will only drag you back, and in the end, you may not even have any friends."

Lin Xuanyu said sadly, "But, brother-in-law, we are a team after all. We can't abandon them just because I'm popular. Wouldn't that be too heartless?"

"This is not heartless but a necessity. Those who can't keep up will be thrown off the bus. What's more, you can help them in the future, as long as you are still in the same circle."

Ye Cheng shook his head and said,.

"Brother-in-law, I still can't do it, so I decided to stay and not go to Pengcheng with you."

Lin Xuanyu took a deep breath and seemed to have made a decision.

"Have you decided?"

Ye Cheng was a little surprised.

"The decision has been made. We believe that our team will have a bright future."

Lin Xuanyu said.

"Now that you have decided, I respect your decision."

Ye Cheng nodded. "For signing the contract, you still go to Mr. Li, and he will arrange it. However, I will not tell him about your relationship with me, and you can't tell him that everything will be in accordance with the guild's regulations."

"Brother-in-law, don't worry; I know what to do."

Lin Xuanyu nodded.

On the same day, Ye Cheng drove Lin Yuanyuan and Qinqin out of Shashi and returned to Pengcheng.

In a restaurant.

Lin Xuanyu and others gathered together.

"Brother Yu, what a great opportunity! Why don't you know how to seize it? If you follow your brother-in-law, you will definitely become famous in the future."

"Yeah, actually, you really don't have to worry about us, as long as you become famous in the future and don't forget us."

"My brother-in-law is definitely a very capable person. Following him is the only way to go. A random joke he gave will become a hit."

Li Zi said.

They really admire Ye Cheng.

So I was very puzzled when I saw that Lin Xuanyu did not go to Pengcheng with his brother-in-law.

"I know how many pounds I have, and I really want to follow my brother-in-law to Pengcheng. Although the starting point will be much higher, I may not be able to support it. The psychological pressure is too great; it is better to be down-to-earth; and... We also know where our shortcomings are. As long as we cultivate them well and study hard, we will definitely be able to improve the level of short videos."

Lin Xuanyu said, "Brothers working together can cut through metal. Do you think this is the truth?"

"Yes, brothers working together can cut through metal."

Several people responded.

After this incident, the team's cohesion has greatly increased.

I also face my own weaknesses more seriously and am not as blindly confident as before.

...

On the highway heading to Pengcheng.

"I really can't tell that this kid suddenly has such an opinion. I thought he would definitely follow him to Pengcheng."

Lin Yuanyuan said this while driving the car.

"I'm quite surprised too."

Ye Cheng sat in the passenger seat and said it with a smile.

Now is the Internet age. Even if Lin Xuanyu doesn't come to Pengcheng, Yecheng will still have ways to train him.

Anyway, he has quite a lot of jokes.
