In the snow, flakes of snow drift down, and a bald man wearing a yellow cotton jacket sings "Snowflakes flutter, the north wind is xiaoxiao" while turning around to take a selfie... The man's head is a little special, the top of the head is a little pointed, and he was quipped by netizens, "like the slimming face special effect is reversed."
This video of "Egg Brother" Zhang Aiqin has become popular abroad
However, it is such an 11-second video, from Kuaishou to Youtube, and the song "A Cut of Plum" sung in the video has landed on the list of European and American multi-country song champions.
Because of this video, netizens noticed this top-notch man and knew that his name was "Egg Brother". However, just like brother egg's fast hand nickname, "egg brother" is just a "note" for him, he is the actor Zhang Aiqin.
On the afternoon of June 24, in the cover news Kuaishou live broadcast room, the cover anchor Lian Mai, a somewhat special Internet celebrity egg brother, chatted about the story behind the popularity of "a cut of plum".
The viral video has a feeling
It took 5 months to learn that I was on fire
Nowadays, the two words "egg brother" have formed a CP with "snowflakes fluttering, north wind XiaoXiao".
The video of the cover "A Cut of Plum" was filmed on January 6 this year, and as of June 25, it has reached 3.463 million views on Kuaishou.
For Zhang Aiqin, this is not a special video: his Kuaishou account is mostly selfie perspective; and in February 2019, he also released a video of taking a selfie in a circle in the snow, and one taken on January 6 this year just changed the usual chat into singing.
"I remember it was very cold, I went downstairs to eat, still drifting snow, I felt it, sang this song in the snow, and shared it with the fans." Zhang Aiqin did not expect that such a random video could catch fire abroad.
"At the beginning of this month, more and more netizens came to ask me, is it singing which 'snowflake fluttering'? I haven't come back to God yet. Zhang Aiqin learned that in early February, his video was uploaded to YouTube twice, and the version released on February 3 was viewed more than 400,000 times. At the end of March, his video and singing song "A Cut of Plum" began to attract attention. By mid-May, the international version of the song was popular on social media platforms around the world.
Qingqi's appearance coupled with a unique melody, more and more foreign netizens are very confused and quickly took action to study what this egg brother is singing? Eventually, they figured out the English meaning of the lyrics as "the snow falls and the wind blows," and some people followed suit, Chinese version.

After the fire, the goal is still to shoot
"Unexpectedly, I turned around and accidentally became an international Internet celebrity." When he said this, Zhang Aiqin had a self-deprecating tone.
His introduction to himself is "actor Zhang Aiqin".
Zhang Aiqin, 41, loves acting, and before drifting north, he performed sketches and danced in a bar in his hometown of Shandong. Because of a director's sentence "You are suitable for acting, more people will know you", he went to Beijing without hesitation. "At that time, there was no network at all, just by inquiring where there was a crew, and then sending their basic information and contact information." Because of his unique appearance, he became a special actor.
Unlike other actors, Zhang Aiqin does not pick the script, let him act, he acts, and does not care about salary. He has never systematically studied acting, and regards the opportunity of acting as a live practical exercise, "Others pay money to learn acting, I can take money to learn acting." ”
Compared with the "one turn" of the fast blogger, Zhang Aiqin, who is a special actor, has been working hard, but he has not been hooked with the word "red".
In "Wise Tiger Mountain", he plays a bandit whose temperature is minus 10 degrees Celsius and needs to be splashed with water according to the script. In order to show the effect, he refused hot water and directly poured cold water.
Although it is easy to be popular as an Internet celebrity, but to be a "small transparent" actor, Zhang Aiqin admits that actors have always been their goals, even after becoming popular in another way now, the goal has not changed.
Recently, Zhang Aiqin has taken over several plays, and in the next period of time, he will put his experience on acting, "If the live broadcast, if time permits, I will take a little time to chat with fans who like me." ”

Nor does it exclude any labels

"Although I have acted in many movies, they are all small supporting roles, and even if this time it is on fire, it depends on this song." After Zhang Aiqin became an Internet celebrity and gained a large number of fans, there were also many such doubts on the Internet.
In this live broadcast, he also responded. In his view, in a play, someone is suitable for the main role, and someone is suitable for supporting roles, "I want to play a role that suits me, a role that adds points to the whole movie." Zhang Aiqin said that just like he chose to act in the first place to let more people know himself, a play, let the audience see him, remember him, he feels that he is successful.
The popularity of this video, he feels that he is successful, even if the red is the song "A Cut of Plum", "but let people abroad through my works, like Chinese music, learn Chinese, this is the most important thing." ”
With such a mentality, he does not mind others paying attention to his pointed top, does not mind being called "egg brother", and even does not mind being labeled as an "internet celebrity", "These are all part of me, if you remember, it means that you recognize and pay attention to me." ”
