Chapter 64 You are famous
The headlights swept through the dark night, and the van rounded the last intersection and finally stopped on the embankment of the Yangon River.
"Master, I will send you here. I have to go back and return the car quickly."
Gu Weijing waved goodbye to the sleepy boy from Mumbai in the driver's seat.
Just like when I went to the orphanage, I still spent a lot of time on the twists and turns of the city roads when I came back.
It was already dark at this time and everything was quiet.
The lights on the entire street had been extinguished. Gu Weijing quietly walked home from the back door of the gallery, charged his mobile phone, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After running around the entire huge city of Yangon for a day, he was also tired.
Gu Weijing gave up the idea of drawing another sketch in his mind, and prepared to wash up and go to bed.
"Buzz!"
"The user you follow [Katsuko] has updated his INSTAGRAM (photo wall)."
Wearing a bathrobe and coming out of the bathroom,
Gu Weijing saw such a new prompt appearing in the message box of his mobile phone that had just turned on again.
"Ms. Sakai sent a new photo?"
After they separated that day, not only did they add each other's contact information, but Gu Weijing also followed Ms. Sakai's INS.
INS, the abbreviation of INSTAGRAM, is the largest fresh-style picture social software in the world.
This software belongs to the same company as Facebook, and its main focus is picture social networking. Many international Hollywood movie stars and painting artists have their own INS accounts.
Katsuko Sakai’s INS is run very professionally.
Her account name is her own name without any fancy words [Shengzi]. She is a young painter and the champion of the All-Day Young Artist Art Competition.
She will often update news about her new works, photos of her daily life, or information about her awards in certain art competitions.
When Gu Weijing followed the other party, her account already had 203K followers.
This is almost twice as many as the more than 70,000 followers of her father, the great artist Uncle Sakai, who has an official account [Professor Kazunari Sakai Studio] operated by a team of professional brokers at the gallery.
On social media, whether it is audience groups or algorithm recommendations, a beautiful girl is much more popular than a fat uncle who can only draw.
However, after the other party came to Yangon, the INS update frequency became slower.
He remembered that the last time Miss Sakai posted a photo was two weeks ago, with the Shwedagon Pagoda in the background, and the English caption was "I met a very talented friend, let's work hard together!"
If Gu Weijing's predictions were correct, then he should be the one he was talking about.
At this time, when he saw that Miss Sakai had updated the news, he subconsciously clicked in.
page refresh,
A warm pastel drawing and a colored pencil drawing appeared on the screen.
Huh?
this painting……
"In front of the unknown master, I feel my own humility and insignificance. I pay tribute to Jane Arnold and Detective Cat, the new challenge winners of [Mr. Hyperion Channel]. - Sakai Katsuko."
At the bottom of the page is the caption given by Katsuko Sakai when she updated her photo wall.
He saw a lot of people like Tsunamasa Sakai, Uncle Sakai, Mrs. Sakai and so on.
What the hell?
Gu Weijing's first reaction when he saw the news was that it was some kind of prank.
He clicked on the YouTube video link posted by Katsuko Sakai below the picture with almost a blank look on his face.
When Thomas' famous face appeared on the screen of his mobile phone, Gu Weijing was almost stunned.
He knows this person,
No, he knows this person’s body,
That’s not right either…
Gu Weijing knew this man's muscle lines.
When I was drawing illustrations before, although the COS Batman man was wearing a bat mask, I drew the square body and muscle curves in detail.
At this time, comparing the figure of Mr. Hyperion in the video, a familiar image immediately came to mind.
"WTF!"
Gu Weijing jumped up from the bed like a fish that had been electrocuted, and his sleepiness immediately dissipated completely.
While playing the video, he got up from the bed, walked quickly to the computer, and pressed the power button.
"Ding, ding, ding, ding ding ding..."
At the first moment when the computer is started and connected to the Internet, various new message notification sounds are mixed together, forming a large ding-ding ding-ding.
The mailbox bound to the new messages associated with the Fiverr account seemed to be poisoned, and was instantly flooded with a massive amount of emails.
The reminder of new email messages in the Windows status bar pops up from the screen prompt box like a waterfall.
"Fiverr - You have a new message from #SEB STUDIO."
"Fiverr - You have a new message from #Blue49890."
“Fiverr-You have a new message from #…”
Each email slides out from the lower right corner of the computer and is replaced by the next email just a moment later.
In just a few seconds, the system's new message prompt exceeded the upper limit of the status bar and became 999+.
…
"Oh my God, there is such a coincidence..."
Half an hour later,
Gu Weijing was still in a daze looking at the finished video and the thousands of emails in his mailbox.
He couldn't believe that the buyer who came to him turned out to be the legendary world's number one internet celebrity [Mr. Hyperion].
In fact, this is a coincidence, but it is not a coincidence.
Although there are more than 2,300 registered painters on Fiverr, we exclude those who registered casually, created an account and never logged in again, and those who have too many negative reviews.
There are about 1,100 painters in normal business.
There are about 67 illustrators who charge less than $20 for commissions, and only 7 who charge exactly $10.
One in seven chance.
And Gu Weijing is the latest among them.
As long as someone performs a reverse search for ten dollars, his store will be easily seen under the recommendation algorithm.
However, he did not have the heart to think about probability issues at this time.
The new message notification tone on the computer speakers continues.
He turned off the system's new email notification, and the annoying endless ding-ding-ding sound finally quieted down.
Gu Weijing opened Fiverr's homepage.
He saw the first unread message in the Completed Orders column, which was sent by user [Hyperion1077].
"Surprise!!!"
“Hello, I am Mr. Hyperion, (YouTube account: Mr. Hyperion Channel), congratulations on your work winning the new video championship of the [From One Dollar to One Million Dollar Painting Challenge] I recorded. This
This is the most incredible result since I recorded this video..."
The other party also posted his Twitter address about the new video.
He logged into Mr. Hyperion's Twitter page on his computer and immediately understood where all the new messages in his mailbox came from.
Thomas left seven painters in his tweet. Except for the homeless man who wandered the streets, each of them had their Twitter account or link to the Fiverr store owner.
As the world's largest Internet celebrity, his number of followers on Twitter is almost equal to the number of views of a certain president.
The number of clicks on this Twitter message has exceeded 36 million and is still increasing rapidly.
Even if only one in 10,000 viewers is willing to click in and leave a message on their Fiverr account, this is still thousands of unread messages.
Fiverr's web client prompted him that the number of unread messages had reached the limit of 10,000 that the server could accommodate.
After all, this is just a multinational part-time job website.
From the day its website went online, I probably never imagined that such a huge data flow would hit the mailbox of a part-time shop owner.
If the website's backend had not monitored traffic abnormalities and urgently repaired them, these sudden influxes of users would have almost brought down the entire website's server.
"Thank you for allowing me to record an excellent video. Congratulations on getting the rewards you deserve for your excellent work——"
You are famous, Mrs. Detective Cat."
