42: Chapter 42 Sometimes good, sometimes bad, that is real life 42: Chapter 42 Sometimes good, sometimes bad, that is real life (No regional discrimination, no malice, just trying to write something more interesting to bring a smile to your face.

The waters of the internet are deep; this book is meant to help everyone relax, have a laugh, and not to take it into reality!)

Besides earning a hundred dollars a day on a daily rate, Cheng Daqi’s copywriting had other hooks.

For instance, a homeless man chose to work instead of lying flat and begging.

This actually created a contrast.

In an era where traffic is king, for an account to rise, only focusing on the main content is too slow.

Having content is fundamental, but what’s important is having an attitude.

Attitude conveys emotions and implies values.

The power of emotions and values can attract people more than content alone.

If you can add a bit of contrast while conveying this attitude, it’s sure to be a trump card!

In the blood-red battleground of the short video domain of the future, most accounts that became overnight sensations followed this simple core path.

Convey emotions and values through attitude, and add a touch of contrast when appropriate.

In his short video account, Cheng Daqi left plenty of room for contrast in his persona.

He claimed to be a young specialist who begged for a living in America.

It seemed unremarkable, but Cheng Daqi’s avatar was the flag of Hua Country!

Together, the flavor of the combination was just too strong.

It seemed incredible, but it was indeed incredible and that’s exactly what Cheng Daqi wanted.

Being incredible could also be considered a contrast!

This deliberate contrast in the account combined with the contrast in the video copy would certainly attract the attention of some people!

Now was the time to test the effect.

As expected, there were people in the comments who noticed the contradictions about Cheng Daqi.

Comrade AlfredFJones (Ganxi): “Did you guys notice?

He says he’s in America but his avatar is our flag.

I think his videos might be scripted.”

This commenter noticed Cheng Daqi’s avatar, but none of the replies to his comment discussed this.

This seemed ridiculous, but it was actually normal.

‘It’s definitely scripted.

America is the paradise of democracy and freedom, with such an advanced system.

How could things like hiring people to hold signs happen there?’

‘I’m an East Coast tumor, I can responsibly say that my college roommate often went to hold signs for day rates, this guy’s video might really be true.’

‘The points you guys care about are so strange.

What does America have to do with what you eat for supper?

I think this big brother is quite inspiring.

Even though he’s a homeless man, he hasn’t given up on himself.

As long as he works hard, he surely won’t be homeless forever.’

‘Stinky little comic reader, don’t speak for your “mei” dad.

A Hua Country person, using a name representing America from foreign comics, to comment on such content, I have reason to suspect you’re America’s woofing woof!’ (response from the author) Comrade AlfredFJones (Ganxi): ‘What’s your problem with reading comics?

I love comics.

You got mad just because I said it might be scripted and you start attacking me personally, right?’ (reply to the author) ‘I’m mad?

Indeed I’m mad!

Someone’s mad!

I won’t say who, but someone is really upset!

Is it you, King JiJi?’

Seeing the mention of King JiJi, even Cheng Daqi couldn’t hold back and laughed.

Characteristic of the 2018 version of the Mainland China internet, agricultural wholesale debates are everywhere.

But he didn’t laugh too loudly, after all, he used to be the national server’s Cai Wenji.

Far-sighted Scientist (Jibei): “The stuff in this video actually reflects a lot of problems; the most direct is that America’s immune system is sick.

The signs in the video are no longer for ideals, but for Dollars.

Cheng Daqi earned a hundred dollars, but he actually shoveled a patch of earth to bury America’s future!”

‘Hehe, go out and see the world.

It’s been hundreds of years since the Westernization Movement, how can there still be people living in their own world?’

‘This is very true when they no longer care what their voice represents, they no longer care about the country’s future.

The more people like this there are, the bleaker America’s prospects.’

‘I don’t quite understand what you mean.

Do you think holding signs is the self-immune system of a nation?

If so, you’ve got a lot of nerve, some things shouldn’t be said recklessly.’

Cheng Daqi liked the second comment but didn’t reply.

He very much agreed with the viewpoint of the comment.

From his own observations, not a single person holding signs with him that day cared about the content of the signs!

The second explosive point of the copy was the burgers Cheng Daqi ate.

He even deliberately claimed he didn’t understand, just to attract mockery and heat up the video.

Don’t bring emotions into business, and as long as it’s legal, any way of drumming up heat is not demeaning.

An idle wolf with nothing better to do (Modu): “You can’t understand such simple English?

What gives you the confidence to go to America?”

‘We’re Hua Country people; it’s normal if we don’t know English.

I support removing English from the curriculum!

Those who don’t support me don’t love our country!’

‘Can Cheng Daqi even be considered a Hua Country person?

Hasn’t he already emigrated illegally?’

Bald but Crazy (loose Sushi): “My rating is, not as good as Old Eight’s secret formula burgers!

Don’t you guys think these burgers are too boring?

I suggest you try Old Eight’s burgers.”

‘Actually, these burgers are not bad; you must not eat burgers often, right?

The name is just a bit strange, but the ingredients look generous.’

‘I really think Old Eight is good, earning money, selling some dignity, so what, I can’t even sell it if I wanted to.’

‘Red Seduction Thigh, America is truly a magical world, so full of nostalgia, eating a burger can give you a flying experience.’

Looking at the comment about illegal emigration, Cheng Daqi fell into deep thought.

The original person really worshiped Mazu at noon and took the ship in the evening; it was indeed an illegal departure.

This would definitely affect his possible future trips back to his homeland.

One more troublesome matter.

After much thought, Cheng Daqi could only sigh deeply.

“What’s up, did that blonde named Lisa give you a ‘nice guy’ card?”

Sani had noticed his neighbor early on; Cheng Daqi had been looking at his phone with his head down since he came back.

“Go beg, what are you always daydreaming about?”

Picking up the power bank, Cheng Daqi left the respawn point with Sani.

Top-tier meals at noon, begging on Red Street in the evening.

Cheng Daqi felt no sense of disparity.

He felt truly alive amidst these differences.

Sometimes good, sometimes bad, that’s the reality of life.
