Since he was looking for top accounts, Zhou Wang naturally and instinctively found "Lin Dantong’s" account first.
Sure enough, the other party had posted a new video about half an hour ago, and the data was excellent, with likes nearing 100,000.
Zhou Wang noticed that the video’s caption was related to him, so he clicked on Lin Dantong’s new video out of curiosity.
At the start of the video, there was a plain-looking girl in unfashionable clothes interviewing to be a model, also surrounded by darkness with a spotlight on her.
Various skeptical voices surrounded the girl from all directions.
"Model? Do you think anyone can be a model..."
"No charisma, too rustic, being skinny alone doesn’t help!"
"You look more like a comedy star..."
At a certain moment, with a sudden rise in music, when the girl looked up, she was already on a dazzling fashion stage. Amidst countless screams, both her outfit and makeup seemed to epitomize "advanced style."
On the big screen behind, it read "Million Influencer, Fashion Darling."
Tall and elegant, Lin Dantong stood at the front of the stage, radiant with brilliance.
"I am a fashion creator, Lin Dantong."
As the voice-over rang, the scene faded, and the sound of a typewriter’s keys brought up the subtitles:
"If destiny is the worst screenwriter in the world, then strive to be the best actor in your life."
These final subtitles were also the caption of Lin Dantong’s new video, mentioning "Zhou Wang" at the end.
Zhou Wang didn’t expect Lin Dantong to use this "trending" way to help promote him, which could definitely be considered full of sincerity.
Clearly, the other party had inquired about his script in advance, likely preparing the material beforehand and editing immediately once they confirmed his video remained unchanged.
Regardless of their intent, Zhou Wang had to admit that the "flattery" felt quite pleasant.
With a smile, Zhou Wang followed back Lin Dantong, then opened the video’s comment section to type, "So stunning, doesn’t even seem like a new talent @Lin Dantong"
As soon as the comment was posted, Lin Dantong, who had already followed Zhou Wang, received a special notification. Holding her phone, she immediately pinned Zhou Wang’s comment and quickly replied:
"So, are you moved? @Zhou Wang (grinning)"
Zhou Wang was a bit surprised, as such obviously flirtatious words were directly posted by Lin Dantong without considering the impact.
But on second thought, it seemed there was no need to be too surprised; perhaps it was just a way for Lin Dantong to help him create buzz...
Zhou Wang didn’t reply to Lin Dantong but started browsing through other Wuyou company members’ Douyin accounts. Sure enough, it wasn’t just Lin Dantong, many of Wuyou’s top influencers were imitating Zhou Wang’s video to help create momentum.
Though their video material seemed a bit rough, hinting at being hastily assembled, like "Peach Flavor," using a makeup transformation video to forcibly match Zhou Wang’s caption, but...
With so many Wuyou influencers exerting their influence, though Zhou Wang’s account itself hadn’t surged, the topic "be the best actor in your life" had already rapidly climbed Douyin’s trending list.
Not just influencers, even Wuyou’s stars like Wu Kequn and Liu Genghong, though they didn’t make a specific video for Zhou Wang, gave likes and recommendations to Zhou Wang’s original video.
Under the influence of these associated hot topics, it was no wonder Zhou Wang’s video data climbed so quickly.
After browsing roughly, Zhou Wang reopened his video and glanced at the yet-unopened comment section.
There were various comments, but the ones with the most likes concentrated on similar ones—
"Wow, Mr. Zhou finally opened an account, must follow it, that song ’Friendship Years’ is amazing!"
"Can anyone explain who this guy is, he seems so pretentious..."
"Not envious of lovebirds or immortals, admire Mr. Zhou every day. I also want to be a shareholder of Wuyou Media!"
"Such an inspiring video, already heard rumors about Zhou Wang and Zhang Da before, didn’t expect Mr. Zhou was once an ordinary person, would be great if he could explain how he made so much money."
"Wow, dream guy, check my degree!"
"Men aren’t just about looks, they also need wisdom. Honey, let me quiz you... what’s your WeChat?"
Summing up, there were those who already knew about Zhou Wang, some who were baffled, some commendatory, and others disdainful, plus many IDs that looked like XXN, who didn’t know Zhou Wang’s identity and were purely attracted by his looks.
Additionally, there were various big V influencers congratulating Zhou Wang on joining Douyin in the comments.
After skimming through, Zhou Wang put down his phone, as dealing with the comment section and private messages wasn’t something he needed to worry about. Lin Ran would handle managing the account; Zhou Wang just needed to sit back.
In fact, after the initial thrill wore off, Zhou Wang was already feeling a bit too lazy to keep paying attention.
Everything could wait until tomorrow.
"Mr. Zhou, Caiyun University President Bai called again, what do you think..."
Perhaps seeing Zhou Wang put down his phone, Jiang Qingkui, who had been waiting quietly beside him, finally spoke.
Ordinary people couldn’t reach Zhou Wang’s phone, but Vice President Bai Lisheng of Caiyun University probably got the number through Professor Wang Hongying’s channel, reaching Jiang Qingkui.
