Nowadays, it is the era of short videos, and as long as a random Internet celebrity can attract traffic, he can earn a lot of money.
But in the early years, the Internet only emerged, and there were very few people who became famous, most of them were very distinctive, some relied on talent, some relied on gimmicks, causing widespread discussion.
Where did those classic influencers go?
1. Sister Feng
Sister Feng can become popular, all because she "does not speak surprisingly and dies endlessly."
The appearance is not outstanding, but the "marriage" advertisement is particularly harsh: the height is not less than 1 meter 7, the appearance is handsome, and it must be a graduate student graduated from Qingbei, and even claims that "only Obama can be worthy of me!" ”
Obviously, he is not highly educated, but he claims to be knowledgeable, likes to read social science books, and loves "Zhiyin" and "Story Club" the most.
In 2010, Feng Jie got a U.S. visa and began to intensify her wild speech, arrogant to the point of distortion.
However, after Feng Jie arrived in the United States, she did not have a satisfactory life, her education was not high, her appearance was collapsed, and she applied for Chinese reporter was resolutely rejected.
In order to make ends meet, she was exposed to having to work as a pedicure in a poor black area, and the environment was harsh and she inhaled a lot of dust, which was very damaging to her body.
After that, although I also changed jobs, I was also at the bottom.
Recently, some netizens broke the news that in Chinatown, I met Feng Jie just after seeing a doctor to buy medicine, people have no spirit, and their clothes are very ordinary.
Originally in the country may have developed better, food and clothing worry-free, eat and wear without worry, the result is to go abroad, a series of out-of-line remarks, words are not surprising and endless, Feng Jie is going farther and farther on the wrong road, but where she wants to return to the right path, the ending should be better than now.
2. Sister Furong
On the Internet, the super Puxin woman seems to be particularly eye-catching, fengjie is like this, and so is Furong sister.
Obviously, her figure and appearance are average, even less than most ordinary people, but Furong's sister is confident in posting S-shaped curve photos, and also said that she "clear water out of hibiscus, natural to carve." ”
After the black and red, she did not change her style, and still liked to take photos to win attention, so she made a lot of money.
However, because the boyfriend was ridiculed by netizens as Furong's brother-in-law, he could not stand the pressure of public opinion and cheated on others.
It is said that after the breakup, Furong's sister found out that she was pregnant, and thought that she could win back the other party's heart through the child, but she coldly refused, and claimed to admit it after doing a paternity test, but still would not care.
The sad Fleur sister decided to give birth to the child and raise it alone.
At the same time, Sister Furong gradually moved away from the field of vision, enriched herself, read books, practiced yoga, learned tea art, lost weight, and learned to dress... Everything that can be learned is learned.
She successfully reduced from 140 pounds to 98 pounds, and the whole person was reborn and looked good.
At the same time, she used the money she had accumulated to open a media company in Beijing, bought a house, and settled in Beijing.
In recent years, Sister Furong's career has been booming and she has become a famous female entrepreneur.
She had posted the keys to a luxury car, and several properties, plus a stack of bank cards, and seemed to be worth a lot.
Usually, Sister Furong is very keen on public welfare undertakings and often donates money and materials to the mountainous areas.
Sister Furong no longer has to rely on the ugly Bo attention, but has become an inspirational model, she proved that Internet celebrities can also become positive energy, to make a good example for society.
3. Shen Ke
In the non-mainstream era, Shen Ke, who often painted dark black makeup, became the originator of Killing Matt.
She has also written novels, composed compositions, and disseminated them widely. However, due to value-oriented problems, "Flying to Someone Else's Bed" was eventually removed.
Shen Ke's exaggerated extreme behavior is due to her serious psychological problems.
In 2008, there was news that Shen Ke had committed suicide, and her fans were heartbroken, but no one came out to clarify, so they all tacitly agreed that she really died of depression.
On December 22, 2015, Shen Ke, who had disappeared for 7 years, suddenly appeared and said that he had not died.
It turned out that she had committed suicide at that time, but was rescued and then started a new life in a low profile.
She met her husband Deng Yuedong, a rich second generation, the two had a good relationship, and married in 2015. After marriage, I had a pair of lovely children.
I thought that Shen Ke would be so plain as water and happy, but I didn't expect to be betrayed by my husband, and the team was also taken away by my husband.
After the divorce, Shen Ke did not collapse, but reopened a hair salon, and in his spare time, he would also open a painting exhibition to show his works.
Perhaps depression cannot be truly defeated, but Shen Ke is still trying to fight, which is gratifying.
4. Coat brother
With a good singing voice, Zhu Zhi, a coat brother, has become a national idol from an ordinary farmer.
What is rare is that after the coat brother became famous, he did not forget the cost, and paid for the construction of his hometown, which was calculated to be more than 1.4 million.
However, the people of his hometown were not grateful to Zhu Zhiwen and regarded him as a wronged boss, and over the years, the villagers and the coat brother borrowed money, which was calculated to be more than one million, but no one repaid it.
During the Spring Festival, many villagers stayed in front of Brother Dayi's door to ask for red envelopes, but Brother Dayi did not give it, and some people angrily smashed the new door.
Unlike other Internet celebrities, Brother Coat's simple style for many years has won the hearts of the people, and the popularity of fame for many years has not decreased.
However, there are not many people who harass him from spying on him, sometimes as many as hundreds of people a day.
Despite this, Brother Coat was reluctant to move to the city, saying he was used to living in his hometown.
However, some netizens believe that this may be the hype of the coat brother, although it is harassed, but it also brings attention.
All along, the coat brother is busy earning money, neglecting to educate children, the result is that the children are not talented, the daughter weighs 200 pounds, she knows to eat and shop online, the son is stupid, and he will not do anything.
Brother Coat threw a lot of money and finally got a daughter-in-law for his son. Unexpectedly, after the daughter-in-law Chen Yanan entered the door, she lost Zhu Zhiwen's good reputation.
After marrying Zhu Xiaowei, Chen Yanan couldn't wait to broadcast live and use the fame of Brother Coat to increase fans by millions. She did not have eloquence to carry the goods and was sprayed wildly by netizens.
Brother Coat not only did not stop it, but also invested millions to open a company for Chen Yanan, which made people feel less favorable to Brother Coat.
After the heavy rain in Henan, Brother Dayi said that he would donate 2 million yuan, chen Yanan also said that he would donate another 1.5 million materials, but in fact, the number was questioned not so much, Chen Yanan was complained that going to Henan was not like disaster relief, more like a vacation, posing on the street, which greatly affected the rescue work.
The 2 million promised by the coat brother does not seem to be in place, and the Zhengzhou Red Cross Society responded that it was not received, and the official website of the Red Cross Society could not be found, which made people suspect fraudulent donations.
Brother Dayi may have been a simple farmer, but blindly hyping and not restraining his family, it is inevitable that he will be eaten back.
5. Pang Mai Lang
With the brainwashing song "My Skate Shoes", Pang Mai Lang is popular all over the country.
After becoming famous, Pang Mai Lang no longer created steadily, but became vain.
He claims to be a post-90s Taiwanese singer, but he was born in 1984 and comes from a mountain village in Shaanxi.
Originally signed a contract with a brokerage company to plan a good route for it, but he was not satisfied with the company's "two or eight accounts", unilaterally broke the contract, went out to take private work to earn money, and the company sued him in court in anger.
Pang Mailang lost a lot of money after losing the lawsuit, and the company did not sign him again if he lost his integrity.
Over the years, Pang Mailang has been going to the cave to make money, but his fame is not as good as before, coupled with fake singing and playing big cards, he also owes a lot of foreign debt.
Perhaps due to too much pressure, Pang Mailang's spirit gradually appeared abnormal.
Pang Mailang's agent Bai Xiao broke out that in fact, Pang Mailang has suffered from schizophrenia for three or four years, and when he is serious, he will beat people, and his weight has dropped from 130 pounds to more than 80 pounds. He was also admitted to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.
Since Bai Xiao announced his condition without Pang Mailang's permission, the two have broken up, and Bai Xiao is still using Pang Mailang's studio account to broadcast live.
Pang Mai Lang has been discharged from the hospital and returned home. But the 37-year-old Pang Meilang still insists on creating, he said that music is a part of himself, you can not eat or drink, but you can not go without music, and you have to go to the big city to go to the big city, thinking that only then can someone appreciate himself.
No one knows if he loves music too much, or if he is so stubborn because he is sick.
However, if Pang Mailang is not so chasing fame and profit, and engaging in creation in a down-to-earth manner, he will not be so quick and fall into such a regrettable situation.
These people quickly became famous through the Internet, and briefly gained great fame and fortune. But in the face of vanity, some people can precipitate, so as to transform and grow into a better self, but some people are completely lost, falling into the trough and it is difficult to scenery.
It may be a blessing for Heaven to give an opportunity, but it is the truly wise person who can seize the opportunity to change his destiny.
