The short video account "Classmate Zhang" has attracted tens of millions of fans in two months with 42 videos. Produced by the Beijing News "Peeling Onions"
In November 2021, a video account "Classmate Zhang", which tells the daily life of rural boys in northeast China, quickly became popular, and the rhythmic BGM and professionally edited videos presented the daily life of a rural "bachelor".
After "Classmate Zhang" caught fire on the short video platform, his home in the video also became a scenic spot. On the morning of December 4, there were many cars parked in front of Zhang's home, and the fans who came to the courtyard to punch in the hospital were endless, and Zhang was busy taking photos with fans, worried that he did not have time to shoot paragraphs.
Visiting fans, asking a random villager they met on the road, can ask the exact location of Zhang's classmates. Two fans from Yingkou deliberately drove for two hours to bring Zhang a "love" breakfast: a chutney powder, a delicious local scone and eggs. Send love breakfast, visit the room, take photos, fans returned with a full load, sent away a group of fans, and Zhang students ushered in a media interview.
In the face of enthusiastic fans, Zhang said that he could not not see, "You are angry fans to see you, if you don't see, others will think that you are floating." But in the face of fans, media and collaborators who visit every day, Zhang is also looking for the best way to balance multiple parties.
