Recently, chongqing boy Mei Xiao recorded a video of refueling punch cards that became popular on the Internet. Starting June 20, 2021, he insisted on posting at least one self-cheering video every day and saying to himself, "Come on, you're the best!" "So far, more than 1,000 works have been accumulated. No matter what day, the background board behind him will change, the clothes he wears will change, but the smile on his face will always be the same. At the same time, his cheering also encouraged other netizens, and some people left a message saying: "Watch your video every day, just when you are saying it to me." ”
The Yangtze Evening News/Purple Cow News reporter learned that Mei Xiao graduated from secondary school in 2013 and then worked in the factory for more than a year. With a dream of being a comedian, in 2016 he began a new attempt, leaving his hometown of Chongqing to work in Hengdian. In five years, he went from being a cast member to an assistant to a director' assistant, and now a tidbits shooter. Not only has the working status changed a lot, but the salary has also increased from the initial monthly income of 2,000 to 20,000.
Mayshaw said that the reason for shooting these videos is because he wants to tell everyone that in the face of anything, a positive and optimistic attitude is the most important thing, followed by persistence, his goal is to shoot a year of cheering and punching videos, "Sometimes work and life will be so tired that it is difficult to squeeze out a smile, but I will still shoot." 」 It's telling myself and the people who saw this video, come on, you're the best! 2022 will surely be even better! ”
"It's hard to say that it's hard not to work hard, and it's not easy to do a good job." In the interview, the optimistic man seems to be intentional, and he can always avoid the unpleasant topics of life. Talking about the story behind the shooting, Meshaw said that on the night of June 19, 2021, he recalled his five years of wandering, and suddenly had a chance to record his changes in the past year with video. When he got up the next day, he immediately went to the barbershop and cut a bald head, and then recorded his first video of refueling and punching cards. Even the phrase "Come on, you're the best" came to mind by chance, and now it has become a sign of his video, which has impressed many netizens.
He told reporters that after the video received attention, he received thousands of words of encouragement from strangers a day, and some young netizens poured out their "anxiety" to him, saying that they were envious of him being able to smile at the camera every day, "I will tell them my story, I am 26 years old without a car and no house, especially an ordinary boy, the family situation is also very general, but despite this, I still hope to create a better life." ”
"In the videos I recorded, some of them look puffy and swollen, and some of them don't look so happy." Mei Xiao said that after watching the video again, he couldn't even remember why he was in a bad state that day, "I just think it's okay, when you encounter problems, you have to face them positively, find a way to solve them, and when you get through that hurdle, you may not remember why you were upset because of this matter at that time." ”
For the spread effect of the video, he is very open-minded. In fact, as early as 2017, Meshaw had launched a challenge. At that time, he had just arrived in Hengdian to work as a mass actor. In order to exercise his courage and overcome social fear, he took to the streets and took photos with more than 3,000 strangers smiling for 9 months, "After the incident was reported by the media, it was on the hot search list, but once the limelight passed, he would still return to his usual life." ”
"It's the same with shooting a video of a refueling punch card, which was hot in the first two days and rarely watched after that." Speaking of this, Mei Xiao smiled, "But I still want to continue to shoot the video, complete the original one-year plan, and hope that everyone in front of the video can be encouraged to live optimistically and positively." Come on, you're the best! ”
