Chapter 1072: Lin Jiaqiang’s Video

May 26th, Saturday morning.

Harbor City.

Lin Jiaqiang was sweating profusely on the smart fitness drying rack.

If Meng Chang saw the current Lin Jiaqiang, he would definitely be very surprised because Lin Jiaqiang had obviously lost a lot of weight compared to when he filmed the Intelligent Fitness drying rack advertisement!

To be precise, he had lost 4kg in two weeks.

4kg was not a lot for Lin Jiaqiang’s 100kg weight but it was still pretty fast since he had lost weight in two weeks.

One could not seek to lose weight too fast. One kilogram per week was considered a safe and healthy speed. Any faster and there might be health hidden dangers.

Four kilograms was not much for Lin Jiaqiang’s weight but his appearance had changed significantly.

That was because Lin Jiaqiang had used a smart fitness drying rack to undergo a lot of strength training. He did not only lose weight but also increased his muscle mass.

Muscle growth would also cause weight gain.

In terms of density, muscles were three times the density of fat. In other words, if a 200-pound fatty trained himself to be a 200-pound muscular man, his weight would not change but his figure would be completely different.

Lin Jiaqiang had lost a lot of fat and developed a lot of muscles. Thus, even though he did not lose much weight, the result was obvious.

What’s more, he looked much healthier.

“Don’t be too tired. Rest well. I’ll go up and see the children.”

Lin Jiaqiang’s wife placed a sports drink beside Lin Jiaqiang and went upstairs.

This staircase was not a luxurious villa’s staircase, but an ordinary duplex staircase.

Lin Jiaqiang’s house in Harbor City was a mini duplex. The upper floor was very low and housed his two daughters. There was not much space left after the two beds and a table were placed in the room. The two children had to do their homework at different times.

The distance between the bed and the ceiling was also very short. The two little guys could still straighten their backs now, but if they were a little older, they might bump into each other.

Downstairs was the living room, balcony, master bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. The two floors added up to about 80 square meters. The overall function was complete.

This was considered a rather spacious house in Harbor City.

After all, the average living area here was only 15 square meters. What’s more, this figure had been averaged upwards by many ballers who had bought villas and mansions.

Lin Jiaqiang had debuted early. At that time, he had been popular with Zhang Zuting and the other brothers. They had earned some money from filming movies. That was why they were able to buy this house. Ordinary families would not have been able to afford it.

However, even so, Lin Jiaqiang had gone through a lot of trouble to provide for this house.

It was still alright when he was popular. There was no pressure to pay off the mortgage and he could still go out and have fun every now and then. However, as his career deteriorated, he was forced to calculate carefully and his life became rather tight.

During the poorest period of time, Lin Jiaqiang would accept all commercial performances regardless of the price. In fact, he could only survive by relying on Zhang Zuting and a few other old friends.

However, he was finally better now.

The smart fitness drying rack was placed on the balcony. His wife had almost lost her temper at him when he first sent it home.

It took up space even though this was a free gift!

The residential area in Harbor City was generally small, so it was almost perfect in terms of space use. Not a single inch could be wasted. This smart fitness drying rack took up three square meters of the balcony in an instant, making the already narrow balcony even more difficult. No wonder his wife was angry with him.

The wife only reluctantly accepted it after hearing that the seats could be folded and could be hung up to dry clothes.

However, she only agreed to it but did not accept it.

Lin Jiaqiang’s wife felt that Lin Jiaqiang would not be able to use it for more than a few times. Thus, she made a three-point covenant with him. They would sell it or get rid of it if it was left unused for a period of time.

Unexpectedly, Lin Jiaqiang persevered!

He would train his body with the characters in the game every day. He would even be able to get lucky draw tickets for calorie coins after the training. Even the training scene was very cute and filled with cuteness.

Slowly, his wife became interested. After using it a few times, she fell in love with it. She even created a new account for herself and started training from scratch.

Seeing that Lin Jiaqiang had indeed achieved results, his wife no longer talked about selling the smart fitness drying rack. Not only did she train with him, but she also studied the drying function of this thing every day. She was full of praise for the drying of the drying rack and the artificial intelligence’s reminder to collect clothes.

At first, his wife wanted Lin Jiaqiang to go to the gym, but she gave up in the end.

That was because it was inconvenient to run back and forth from a gym far away from home. The nearest gym was more expensive. High-end gyms with fewer people would cost more than 1,000 yuan per month. That had yet to include a private training fee.

The monthly expenses of the gym was a long-term expenditure. It was also quite a big expense for their family’s current financial situation.

The price of the smart fitness drying rack was about the same as half a year’s worth of fitness cards. What’s more, it was a free gift. The fitness effect was not bad, so he did not think about going to the gym anymore.

Finally, Lin Jiaqiang finished working out and went to take a shower.

Not long after he came out, he received a call.

“Hello, is this Mr. Lin Jiaqiang? Hello, hello. I’m from Aili Island’s website. I would like to invite you to join our Aili Island website. Your good friends, Mr. Zhang Zuting, and the others are also invited…”

“If you are willing, please register an account on our website. We will give you an official certification and some recommendation resources. Of course, it would be best to send a video to say hello to the fans. That would make it easier to attract traffic…”

Lin Jiaqiang listened to the official’s introduction seriously and quickly said, “Of course! Thank you so much!”

Aili Island has been the biggest bullet screen video website in the mainland for the past two years. It was also expanding rapidly.

Inviting celebrities to join in order to attract traffic was also a common method.

Lin Jiaqiang was a little outdated therefore, logically speaking, the priority of inviting him should not have been so high. However, the Bloody Battle Song advertisement that he had filmed previously had been repeatedly haunted by netizens. Both he and Zhang Zuting were considered the ‘five-man Bloody Brothers team’ of the otoMAD.

Coupled with the fact that he had recently endorsed the smart fitness drying rack and had once again appeared in the eyes of netizens, he had triggered a wave of netizens’ otoMAD. Thus, he had been invited by Aili Island’s website.

To Lin Jiaqiang, this was something he could only hope for.

Entering Aili Island did not bring much practical benefits, but the attention and popularity could bring him business partnerships. He could also make use of this opportunity to become popular.

Lin Jiaqiang agreed immediately without much thought.

However, he immediately became worried. What should he shoot for the first video?

If it was a more conventional approach, it would be nothing more than greeting everyone and hoping that everyone would pay attention.

However, such content was relatively empty. There was nothing practical. There would definitely be very few views and likes. This account would also be easily forgotten.

For example, some great gods in the music industry would introduce themselves and write a song on the spot when they released the first video. Such high-quality videos would be especially popular.

“Why don’t I say a few classic lines from the previous movie or tease ourselves about Bloody Battle Song’s advertisement?”

“I can sing my own otoMAD song, but I’m not good at all. I’m afraid I’ll lose fans.”

“What’s more, someone seems to have already used these methods.”

Lin Jiaqiang thought of a few ideas, but he was not satisfied.

Aili Island’s website would give some recommendation resources. After all, they were invited. They had to give some face.

However, he would probably only be given it once.

There were so many videos on Aili Island, and the resources were limited. It was impossible to give it to him in an unlimited way.

Thus, the first video was extremely important. If the effect was not good and it did not attract enough attention, not many people would pay attention to the rest of the contents released later. On the other hand, if the effect was good, it could snowball smoothly and accumulate fans.

Lin Jiaqiang racked their brains but could not think of a good solution.

His wife was tidying up the house. “What’s wrong?”She asked upon seeing Lin Jiaqiang’s conflicted expression.

Lin Jiaqiang briefly explained Aili Island’s invitation and then asked, “What video do you think I should make?”

His wife thought for a moment. “Don’t you have videos of your routine workouts? Wouldn’t it be good to edit those videos and show everyone the results of your training?”

Realisation struck Lin Jiaqiang. “Oh, that’s right!”

During this period of time, he had recorded everything on video when he was working out with the smart fitness drying rack. He had also recorded the changes in weight and body size.

In fact, this was just a routine game. It would also make it easier for him to persevere in order to make fitness more ritualistic and fulfilling.

Wasn’t it appropriate to use this as his first video on Aili Island?

He would edit these videos and make them into a five-minute short video. On top of that, he would introduce himself. It would end up as a video that was less than ten minutes.

It would not make netizens feel bored just because it was too long. It would also be content rich and special.

The others must not have lost weight recently, right? Even if they had lost weight, they could not have lost 4kg and changed so drastically, right?

What’s more, Lin Jiaqiang had always been acting as a Fatty supporting character. His face was very recognizable. The fact that he was losing weight was very gimmicky and would definitely attract a large number of netizens’ attention.

Not only would the first episode become popular, but the next few episodes would also not become less popular. That was because everyone was definitely concerned about the latest development of Lin Jiaqiang trying to lose weight.

At that thought, Lin Jiaqiang immediately went to the computer and found all the videos he had taken. Each of them used a short clip to edit it into a short video.

Apart from that, he also had an ulterior motive. He wanted to advertise the smart fitness drying rack.

He had been given a lot of money to endorse this product back then after all. When he arrived in Jingzhou, he had been treated to food, drink, and fun. In the end, he passed the filming of the advertisement in one shot. He felt a little bad.

He would do his best to help publicize it!
