The outstanding man named Zhang Kai, born in a simple and unpretentious rural family, has developed an extremely strong love for performing arts since he was a child, and the dream in his heart is as bright as a star, looking forward to one day being able to show his talents on the screen like Stephen Chow, whom he admires.
However, the pressure of life is like a heavy mountain, which always seems to ruthlessly suppress his ideals.
The young and frivolous Zhang Kai has bravely tried to start a business many times, hoping to change his fate with his hard work and ingenuity. He first co-founded an auto repair shop with like-minded partners, but due to the lack of professional experience, the development of the company was difficult, and finally had to be reluctantly declared a failure.
Just as he rekindled his hope with endless regrets, fate didn't seem to intend to let him go easily.
Zhang Kai devoted himself to the operation of the chicken farm with enthusiasm, but due to the lack of scientific breeding knowledge, nearly 2,000 chicks died in a very short period of time.
This was undoubtedly a heavy blow to him, and he was once again burdened with a heavy debt burden.
The confusion and despair in his heart almost made this young man lose his desire for life.
Just when Zhang Kai felt that his life had fallen into a desperate situation, a glimmer of dawn unexpectedly illuminated his heart. Under the recommendation of a friend, he came into contact with that new short video platform - Douyin.
With a love for lively and interesting performances, Zhang Kai began to experiment with using his mobile phone to record his rural life.
Surprisingly, his unique perspective and excellent photography skills have attracted a lot of attention on this platform. In just a few months, this originally unknown rural youth has become a Douyin big V with tens of millions of fans.
All this changed so quickly that even Zhang Kai himself couldn't believe it.
He simply hopes to show the real rural life through video, and bring a local atmosphere from his hometown to people in the city. However, he never imagined that just a hobby could have such a huge impact in an instant.
The joy of fame almost intoxicated Zhang Kai, but what he didn't expect was that at the moment when his career climbed to the top, the shadow also quietly came.
Surprisingly, Zhang Kai quickly became popular on Douyin with his unique aesthetics and excellent photography skills, winning the enthusiastic pursuit of tens of millions of fans and instantly becoming a hot Internet celebrity.
And all this happened quickly and simply unpredictable, even Zhang Kai, who witnessed the process, could not believe it.
At first, Zhang Kai only had a simple desire, hoping to record the real rural life through short videos, and bring a freshness and tranquility from the countryside to people in the city.
He uses the lens of his mobile phone as a tool to capture and show every detail of the rural countryside, making the otherwise ordinary rural scene vivid and interesting.
However, what is unexpected is that this unique perspective and superb photography technology have sparked a strong resonance among the majority of netizens on Douyin, attracting the love and attention of a large number of viewers.
In just a few months, Zhang Kai has gone from being an obscure village resident to an internet celebrity with tens of millions of followers, and his influence has even surpassed that of Douyin itself, and has become famous on other social media.
For this country guy, the joy of fame is like a dream, making him feel both excited and confused. Who would have thought that an ordinary rural young man from a poor background and with a low education level could overcome obstacles all the way in the emerging field of short video with his love for life and unremitting efforts, and finally achieved a legendary life that attracted much attention? Even Zhang Kai himself could not believe that he had staged such a thrilling counterattack in life.
However, just as his career was reaching its peak and attracting much attention, some malicious rumors began to spread around the Internet, questioning Zhang Kai's identity and motives, casting a shadow on his reputation.
Some suspect that he is not really a farmer, but a student who graduated from the directing department of a well-known art academy, and carefully planned the image of a "rural photographer".
What's worse is that some people directly accuse Zhang Kai of being able to achieve such great success because he deliberately portrayed rural life as poor and backward, and used the means of "winning sympathy" to deceive the audience's feelings.
These aggressive questions were like a thunderbolt from the blue, almost knocking Zhang Kai to the ground, powerless to fight back.
In the face of the flood of doubts and misunderstandings in the online world, Zhang Kai, an artist, chose not to escape and remain silent, but to reveal the true face of things to the public with great devotion and sincerity.
He stepped forward to face numerous media interviews, dissecting and elaborating on his artistic process and the photographic techniques he used, with the aim of proving that his professionalism is the result of personal hard work and hard work, without any mentor or team behind the scenes.
"I am just an ordinary person who grew up in a rural environment, and I have the deepest and most sincere perception and understanding of rural life. I was able to create these works because of my deep love for my hometown and my tireless pursuit of the art of photography.
Zhang Kai said in a frank and sincere tone, his eyes were firm and full of sincerity, revealing his confidence and pride in the cause he was engaged in.
In order to further dispel everyone's doubts, Zhang Kai even came to the scene and demonstrated the entire shooting process in person, from selecting the shooting angle, adjusting the composition of the picture to selecting the background music, etc., so that everyone present could witness the hard work and sweat behind his works.
In this way, he hopes to prove that he is not the so-called "person" and "package" in his mouth, but to capture the purest beauty with an innocent heart.
However, despite Zhang Kai's best efforts to explain and prove it, there are still some people who are biased against him. They believe that Zhang Kai shows only the most backward and impoverished side of rural life in the film, and there is the possibility of scandalizing the image of the countryside.
More extreme people even assert that the reason why Zhang Kai was able to achieve such a huge success is only because he happened to grasp the social hotspot of "sympathy" from the audience, so as to win a certain degree of attention.
These accusations were like a heavy hammer, mercilessly hitting the deep pride in Zhang Kai's heart. As a native of the countryside, he has an endless love for the land that raised him, and regards rural life as the most precious treasure in the world.
He has never had any intention of belittling his hometown, and every time he shoots comes from the most simple heart, hoping to capture the most primitive beauty of the countryside with his own unique perspective.
Zhang Kai tried his best to give a reasonable explanation for his actions, never thinking that an even more serious crisis was about to unfold! Because the content of his videos was too thin, and he was confined to the established framework of rural life for a long time, the audience inevitably fell into the whirlpool of aesthetic fatigue.
Worrying things finally happened, his original millions of loyal fans began to leave, and the number of clicks and likes on his videos also showed a precipitous downward trend.
In the glory days, each of Zhang Kai's short videos could easily receive millions of likes and became a popular work in the online world. Today, however, the same video can barely win tens of thousands of accolades.
This is undoubtedly a punch to a young man who is at the peak of his career.
Zhang Kai stared at the comments in the comment area that gradually became deserted, and he couldn't help but feel a deep pain in his heart. A few months ago, it was a stage for him to interact with his fans, full of laughter.
Now, however, the land seems to have lost its vitality, and only a few lonely verbal signals remain, as if to herald his decline.
The loss of followers is often the prelude to the decline of Internet celebrities. As an experienced Douyin influencer, Zhang Kai knows this. Therefore, he decided to try to tap his business potential and find a new development path through live streaming.
Unfortunately, due to the lack of professional operational skills and the narrow nature of the agricultural market, this attempt did not achieve the desired results. The popularity of the live broadcast room has always been as flat as water, and there are only a handful of agricultural products that can be sold.
In this way, the tens of millions of big Vs who were once on the Douyin platform could not resist the torrent of the times after all, and could not escape the fate of being eliminated. The gradual loss of fans has undoubtedly become the last straw that overwhelms Zhang Kai, and he must face this cruel reality: the glory of the past is like a mirror, and it will eventually come to naught under the baptism of time.
In this way, the bright star who once dominated the headlines of Douyin and became famous has now returned to his ordinary life as a farmer. From a bright star surrounded by thousands of people and competing to be admired, to a silent and unknown rural youth today, Zhang Kai's psychological trauma is undoubtedly deep and indescribable.
Zhang Kai, who was warmly cheered by fans and reported by the media, used to be so radiant! His smile and smile attracted the attention of countless people, and each of his works could easily receive millions of likes.
However, now this former Internet celebrity superstar can only quietly hide in the vast sea of people, as if he has never shined in the spotlight.
Once upon a time, CCTV's well-known hosts came to visit one after another, begging Zhang Kai to accept their exclusive interview. Today, however, the name is forgotten even by rural children.
From being admired by thousands of people to being ignored, this earth-shaking transformation is enough to make anyone fall into endless self-doubt and loss.
However, thankfully, although Zhang Kai has retired from his former status as an Internet celebrity, the wealth he has accumulated from his short video career is enough to repay the heavy debt he carried when he was young.
Moreover, he still has a group of unwavering supporters, and his life is not luxurious, but it can be regarded as comfortable and carefree.
Recalling that passionate and enthusiastic day, Zhang Kai was full of emotion in his heart. Who could have foreseen that a young man from an ordinary rural background could become an influential Internet celebrity? His life path is so magnificent, with both glorious moments and downturns, and now he has finally found a certain degree of tranquility.
Although he can no longer relive the attention and popularity of the past, those glorious years will eventually become the most precious memory and wealth in Zhang Kai's life.
This experience will lead this young man who has gone through ups and downs to take fewer detours on the road in the future, and become a more experienced and humble person.
