soared to more than 1 million fans overnight, and this three-year-skipping man blew up the circle of friends
Wen Shen's original name is Wen Huijun, according to the account information, he is an instructor of a driving school in Li'an, Hebei, born in the 70s.
Wen Huijun has three accounts on Douyin, sharing three different lives, one is called Wen Huijun, one is called Wen Shen, and the other is the Li'an Wen Huijun Driver Service Department.
Someone popularized science on Weibo: "Wen Shen is responsible for being funny, Wen Huijun is responsible for being affectionate, and Li'an Wen Huijun is responsible for earning tuition for the rebel, he should be transformed like Ultraman......"
Wen Huijun was opened on November 21 last year, and it is also the earliest number among the three accounts, mainly releasing emo expressions and copywriting, and currently has nearly 1.1 million fans.
Ten days later, a dancing video of "I'm so happy that the students have passed the test today" was released through the Li'an Wenhui Army Driver Service Department, and the current number of fans of this account is close to 600,000.
In the first half of this year, Wen Huijun was found by the students that the coach "opened a trumpet".
On March 14, an account called "Wenshen" released a funny video of "Winning Honey Snow Bingcheng in full", and the first one received more than 3,000 choices and more than 2,400 retweets. At that time, someone left a message in the comments: I actually found the coach's trumpet.
Up to now, the fans of Wenshen have reached 2.17 million, and the fans have been soaring in the past two days.
Why can an amateur with a mediocre appearance become popular overnight?
An ordinary amateur, but he became popular overnight. Wenshen is also another phenomenal Internet celebrity after Foshan Dianhan and Yu Wenliang. So, how did amateur Wenshen get out of the circle?
Many netizens believe that although Wenshen has a post-70s face and no handsome appearance, he has an interesting soul and post-00s thoughts, and he has a sense of networking. For example, when he was working, he was an ordinary driving school instructor, and he was full of peach and plums, and his own bitter melon: one of the nine students who failed to pass was his own son.
Some netizens also believe that Wen Huijun plays the life of three kinds of people, which is in line with the current social environment and social psychology. During the day, he is a middle-aged man who is trying to earn tuition for the rebel, at noon he is a crazy funny person, dancing the psychedelic subject three, and at night, he is a middle-aged person who becomes an emo, which is very in line with the psychology of young people who are crazy during the day and emo at night, and provides enough emotional value for users.
And whether it is Wenshen, Foshan Dianhan or Yu Wenliang and other amateurs who become popular overnight, it is indispensable to be fueled by the platform. In order to stimulate users' attention, short video platforms will focus on content with signs of popularity from time to time according to existing data feedback, encourage influencers to use specific dances, music, emojis and other elements to attract users' attention, and create Internet celebrity hits through repeated reinforcement and even brainwashing of content.
This has to mention that let Wenshen master the traffic password, which is so popular that there is no "subject three".
The third subject, which is being jumped on the whole network, has become popular in the AI circle
If Wen Huijun has some skills in his body, it is subject three. Wenshen, the account with the most fierce fans, went out of the circle with three jumping subjects, and some netizens commented that Wenshen's jumping subject three was even smoother than the second subject he taught.
What is "Subject 3"?
Many people may have brushed Haidilao's subject three. According to a widely circulated saying, "subject three" originated from a scene of many people singing and dancing at a wedding scene in Guangxi. Since then, it has been spread that "Guangxi people will go through three exams in their lives, subject one is singing mountain songs, subject two is rice noodles, and subject three is dancing".
Module 3 has long been popular on the Internet. However, what really came out of the circle was that the staff of Haidilao stores performed the dance for customers themselves, and many Haidilao in many places have successively launched "subject three" dance services. As a result, many staff members quickly increased their fans. For example, Dalian Dashang Haidilao, a subject third brother, has more than 370,000 fans on his personal account, and he "toured" in different Haidilao stores.
Recently, this demonic imitation craze has spread from domestic to overseas, setting off the "Global Shaker Competition". Among them, the spread of "subject three" in South Korea is particularly out of the circle, and it has also become a performance song for the celebration of high schools in South Korea.
Subject 3 has also become popular in the AI circle. Not long ago, Alibaba's large model research team officially released an AI video conversion project called "Animate Anyone", that is, AI image generation video. As the name suggests, it is "to bring all the characters to life".
Just give it a photo of the person, combined with the animation of the key nodes of the skeletal motion capture, and you can generate a dynamic video of the "subject three" dance. And no matter what style of image, whether it's a full-body portrait, a half-length portrait, a cartoon character or a real person, you can control it.
You can even let Boss Mei jump on it.
Around the same time, the National University of Singapore and ByteDance jointly launched a "human image animation generation tool" MagicAnimate, which can generate corresponding animation videos based on user-specified character pictures and action sequences. For example, ask Musk to skip a section of subject three.
