Zhang was able to catch fire mainly for two reasons:
A few minutes of video sub-shots can actually reach hundreds, and there is a very magical background music, watching his video gives people a sense of tension, pleasure, which is the charm of his work itself.
We see his family's house dilapidated and old, almost living like 30 years ago, and then his daily life is more lazy, with a feeling of lying flat in the countryside.
Taken together, whether it is his skill, or his life portrait, original, very charming. The main thing is that we see a different kind of life through his video.
However, none of this is real, it is all posed. After his video became popular, some people continued to reveal the true identity of Zhang Classmate.
For example, he is married, has a son and a daughter, the house is his family's old home, basically no one lives, and he himself, he has also partnered in self-media and so on.
Others say that he graduated from film and television editing, and has had professional cooperation in some crews.
Regarding the identity of Mr. Zhang, it can be said that there are many opinions and disagreements. Recently, the Beijing News interviewed Zhang, who replied to the above questions.
In fact, he is indeed the father of two children, this house is Grandpa's old house, and the video reflects that life is very different from the current countryside.
All in all, it's all posed. After the news was confirmed, I should be extremely disappointed personally.
Just now I said that The video of Classmate Zhang can be fire, one is because of the maturity of technology, the other is because of the truth, if you only say that the technology is skilled, I think it does not mean much, of course, I do not say that Mr. Zhang deceived us, because every video of Mr. Zhang did not deliberately emphasize that this is the truth.
I just think that the reason why I paid attention to him in the past was because I regarded him as real, but now this foundation does not exist, and all that remains is the appreciation of the work.
Then, whether you like him or not in the future is a personal choice. The reason is very simple, if I see his new video, when I know that it is all for us, it really feels like nothing.
