He opened WeChat and accepted the application.
After a moment, the other party sent a message.
"Hello, I'm Ma Dakang, the operations manager of Pumpkin Video. We feel that the video you posted is not only very unique, but it also carries forward Chinese traditional culture. Therefore, we sincerely invite you to join our platform as a column writer.”
After saying that, the other party sent a document.
Xia Jie opened it and scanned through it. It was all about how to help authors promote themselves and increase their influence and popularity. There was also a share of advertising revenue. It seemed pretty good.
He was full of sincerity.
Xia Jie nodded." Sure, I have no objections. But I still have to ask Grandpa."”
"Alright, alright. This is what we should do. We respect the opinions of every author.”
Ma Dakang immediately replied.
"By the way, Mr. Xia, I just looked at your Weibo and realized that you're also a streamer. You can make your live broadcast into a Short videos and publish it on our platform.”
"According to the current trend of traffic, Short videos are easier to attract the attention of the audience than live broadcasts.”
Uh, Manager Ma's words seemed to make sense.
Just like today's live broadcast of the root carving production, many viewers were not interested in watching the rest.
However, if it was a Short videos that was refined into a few minutes from beginning to end like how Grandpa made the Luban stool, he believed that everyone would be able to persist until the end.
In any case, it was to increase his popularity, so why not!
Thinking of this, Xia Jie said readily,"Sure, we can have this."
"Alright, Mr. Xia, I'll wait for your good news! (Shaking hands)"
"Okay, I'll contact you later!"
After ending this conversation, Xia Jie quickly opened Pumpkin Video and saw the eye-catching advertisement on the front page. It was actually the video he posted in the morning.
"Magical Luban stool, woodworking skills that have been passed down for thousands of years!”
When he opened it, he saw that it had more than 400,000 views. There were also a large number of comments, and the number of fans had already exceeded 10,000.
"Old Master's craftsmanship is really amazing!”
"I thought it was just a clickbait, but when I clicked on it, I realized that it was actually real!”
"Grandpa Xiamu, do you accept disciples? I want to learn carpentry from you!”
"Just because of this craftsmanship, I'll follow you and like it!”
"Very simple. This is a true craftsman. He is definitely a model of Chinese craftsmen!”
"Grandpa Xiamu, do you still lack grandchildren?”
……
Haha, I didn't expect the old man to become an internet celebrity after making a wooden stool.
Xia Jie immediately called his grandfather.
"Hello, Grandpa!"
"Hey, Jie, are you coming for lunch?”
"I'm not going. I still have some work to do here.”
Xia Jie looked at the "Flying Dragon in the Sky" that had not been polished in the courtyard and said with a smile.
"By the way, Grandpa, let me tell you some good news. The video I took for you has become popular. Many people have watched it and there are many comments.”
"It's popular? Is there really someone watching this?"
The old man on the other end of the phone was a little surprised.
"Hehe, of course there is. It already has hundreds of thousands of views, and the platform even specially called to invite you to be a resident author!”
"Resident author, what's this for?”
Xia Changjiang really didn't understand things like the internet, live broadcasts, and Short videos.
"How about this, Grandpa? When I'm done with my work here, I'll come over and talk to you slowly tonight!”
"Alright, then I'll burn a big bone that you like to eat. I'll wait for you to come over tonight.”
"Yes, yes!"
Thinking of the delicious bone marrow, Xia Jie licked his lips and nodded repeatedly.
Putting away the phone, Xia Jie finally found an opportunity to get close and have fun. However, he hated that he was too small and could only lick his * ss.
"Little guy, I'll bring you to grandpa's place tonight to chew on big bones!”
"Wuuu!"
The puppy jumped up and down happily.
Not only to eat, but also to play with his dog friend Big Black!
After lunch, during the break, Xia Jie cut the content of his previous live broadcasts into a few Short videos and posted them on Pumpkin Platform.
Just like how many authors did not write their books to earn money, Xia Jie did not do his live broadcast for money.
He just wanted to let more people in the city understand the life in the mountain village.
At the same time, it warmed up his own farmhouse.
But since he could still make money, why not do it well?
The old man was said to be the inheritor of traditional skills. As his grandson, he had to work harder!
The live broadcast was still going on. Short Video could also be recorded. The farmhouse entertainment was still going on.
Walking on three legs, was he afraid that he would not be able to achieve anything?
Thinking of this, Xia Jie picked up the tools and began to polish the semi-finished root carving.
This polishing sounded simple, but it was also a delicate job.
The bigger parts could be repaired with an angle grinder and a steel wire wheel. As for the parts with knots or shapes, they needed to be done with sandpaper.
Therefore, without some patience and strength, he really couldn't do it.
Fortunately, Xia Jie did not lack either of these two points.
As for the cute little puppy, Qiuqiu, it kept circling around the tree roots.
Why was Master so interested in this wooden stake?
Could it be more fragrant than meat and bones?
Why don't I take a bite too?
The puppy licked its lips, but it did not dare to act.
The thing in Master's hand was too scary!
Just as Xia Jie was busy, a familiar shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Brother Jie, Brother Jie, are you at home?"
"Hey, Little Dong, come in!"
Pushing open the door, Song Xiaodong rushed in excitedly.
"What are you doing? Why are you sweating and panting?”
Xia Jie glanced at the other party and asked.
"Brother Jie, I just…just saw your grandpa when I was watching the video. It's too awesome. It has hundreds of thousands of views!”
Song Xiaodong exclaimed.
"Old Master usually hides his strength, but he actually knows this unique skill. Eh, what are you doing?”
As he spoke, Song Xiaodong's gaze fell on the root carving that had basically taken shape.
"Whoa, Brother Jie, you're in the business of sculpting. You must have learned your craft from the old man!”
"Tsk tsk, not bad, not bad. It's quite nice. If we take a video of it, there will definitely be many people watching it!”
Xia Jie smiled and said calmly,"Of course it will be filmed. As for whether anyone will watch it, it depends on the wishes of the audience!”
"Brother Jie, take a look at what I have that's suitable for a short video. Can you shoot one for me too? Maybe it'll become popular!"
Song Xiaodong looked at Xia Jie with eyes full of desire.
"You want to film too?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Song Xiaodong nodded.
"Then what are your specialties?"
"Uh…"
Song Xiaodong blinked and looked down again. The corner of his mouth twitched."He was born like this. There's really no special place for him to grow!”
"Bah, I was wondering what kind of skill you have!”
Xia Jie rolled his eyes.
Song Xiaocheng scratched his head, frowned and thought for a moment before stuttering.
"Skill…Skill…Brother Jie, does it count if I can draw mahjong?”
"Go to the side and play. To think that you can say that. We want to record those positive things and promote positive energy, do you understand?”
Xia Jie said angrily.
