After struggling for nearly three hours, Chen Yu finally rented a standalone warehouse far away from the city.
This warehouse used to be a storage space for fruit vendors in the nearby market. However, as the city had been rebuilt, the open-air market had been removed, and the number of warehouses in this area had been restricted. Even after the rent had been reduced repeatedly, nobody showed interest in this warehouse.
Hence, Chen Yu only spent 1,800 yuan to rent this warehouse for three months.
"I can finally relax.
Ah!
This feels good … "
Standing in the middle of the empty warehouse, Chen Yu observed his surroundings for a moment. He then picked up his newly bought broom and mop and started cleaning.
In reality, his previous two reviews had not been very rigorous.
From the wallpaper to the floorboards, there were too many things in the room that were unrelated to the reviews. There was a risk that his identity would be exposed.
Hence, he needed to make proper arrangements this time and do his best not to reveal any unnecessary information.
This could be considered mending the pen after the sheep were lost.
Roughly 20 minutes later, Chen Yu was done with the cleaning. He then closed the warehouse's door and locked it from the inside. He then started setting up the background and venue for the review.
First, he needed to clean the dusty walls.
Second, he needed to clean the wooden table.
Aside from that, there was nothing else.
Clap!
Clap! Clap!
Patting the dust off his hands, Chen Yu smiled and said, "Everything's done!
I can start the review now. "
After saying so, Chen Yu pulled out his notebook, camera, pen, paper, mask, and the main character of this review — the Golden Finger.
After setting up the camera, Chen Yu spent 10 minutes writing the script. He then memorized it several times and placed it in a position where the camera couldn't capture it.
After two reviews, Chen Yu had learned plenty of "explanation" techniques.
He absolutely couldn't use the "awkward words" he had last time. He just needed to focus on introducing the product. The less he spoke, the better.
This was especially true when the fifth review began. The more he spoke, the more mistakes he would make.
"Let's start. Hiss … This warehouse is a little cold. My legs are freezing …"
After putting on the jacket and mask he wore for each review, Chen Yu prepared the tools he would use for the review. He then pressed the camera button and sat before the table.
"Greetings, dear viewers. This is Transdimensional Review's third episode.
I am very grateful for everyone's support in the past!
The product I will be reviewing this time is … "
…
The review lasted for an hour.
When Chen Yu finished reading the last line, he stood up and turned off the camera. He then stretched his waist.
Taking off the Goldfinger, Chen Yu caressed its smooth surface before carefully placing it back into the box.
Somehow, he had a premonition that this magical product would come in handy one day.
As there was no internet connection in the warehouse, Chen Yu transferred the footage from the camera into his laptop and stored it in his backpack. He planned to start recording and uploading the footage when he got home.
"Creak …"
When he opened the warehouse door, the sky outside had already darkened.
Pulling out his phone, Chen Yu took a look at the time. Without further ado, he locked the door and jogged to the main street. He flagged down a taxi and sat in the passenger seat.
"Master, let's go to Lanhe District."
"Alright."
The middle-aged driver nodded and stepped on the accelerator.
"Master, the weather sure gets cold fast. It's only autumn, yet it's already so cold," Chen Yu complained as he leaned back in his seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.
"Oh …" The middle-aged driver glanced at Chen Yu's fleece pants and nodded. "Yes, it's getting cold …"
…
As soon as Chen Yu entered the house, he caught a whiff of the aroma of meat. Hurriedly making his way into the kitchen, he discovered that there was actually a plate of shredded pork on the dining table.
"So sumptuous?
What day is it? "
Mother Chen asked without sparing Chen Yu a glance. "Aren't you going to practice sports tomorrow?
I'll give you some nutrition. "
"… Are you sure that I won't be able to get into the top 25?"
"Heh, if you can get into the top 30, I'll eat this wok."
"You said it!"
"I said it!"
"Okay, I'll wait."
Walking out of the kitchen, Chen Yu glanced at his little sisters playing around in the living room. He then returned to his bedroom, locked the door, took out his laptop, and started editing and uploading the video.
A few minutes later, the video was finished. After playing it from start to finish and finding no problems, Chen Yu adjusted the audio and uploaded it to Bilibili, setting it to be released at 9 AM tomorrow.
The quality of this video was also very high. Chen Yu felt that he was one step closer to becoming the [Romantic Partner Robot] …
"Hehe … Hehehe …"
As Chen Yu fantasized about his sweet life with a robot partner, he subconsciously took out the Golden Finger and gently stroked it.
"Just renting a warehouse won't do.
"When I get a girlfriend in the future, I need a place to stay.
"In that case, I'll need money again …"
After thinking for a while, Chen Yu's mind returned to the problem of "money."
He was poor.
His family was poor as well.
His future "girlfriend" would definitely be poor as well. As a man, he needed to think of ways to earn money.
Moreover, it would be a long-term income.
Jumping around restaurants with only basketball shoes was not a long-term solution. It was too low-class.
Sooner or later, he would be blacklisted by all the restaurants in the Jinzhou City.
"I'll edit videos for other companies or self-media …"
After thinking for a long time, Chen Yu still felt that this method of earning money was reliable and reliable.
The Transdimensional Marketing Company's contract only stated that the profits generated from trading and selling the product were illegal. It did not state that the profits generated from personal use were illegal as well.
Moreover, the smart editing software in his laptop was not considered a product review.
After making up his mind, Chen Yu picked up his phone and started advertising in several Bilibili's UP groups.
"Paid editing by the industry's top-notch professional editor. Subtitles and background music are all included. Only editing review videos. If the results are not satisfactory, free of charge.
Interested parties private message me. "
Three seconds after the advertisement was posted, Chen Yu received a response!
[You have been removed from the "Transdimensional Marketing" group by the administrator, Uchiha Ward.]
"Beautiful!"
Chen Yu immediately reported the group.
[Reason for reporting: There are pornographic pictures in the group every day!
This is the corruption of human nature and the distortion of morality!
If I don't ban such a lousy group now, when will I?]
Group ID: 826992388
…
Although Chen Yu had been kicked out of a few groups due to his advertisement, it did not take long before a certain UP master in a certain group called Bilibili's UP Home took the initiative to add Chen Yu as a friend.
[Blooming Clouds: "Is it really a professional editor?
How much does it cost?
Do you have any previously edited videos? "]
[Chen Yu: "I do, but you don't need to trouble yourself.
Just give me the source material. If the editing isn't up to standard, I won't charge you a single cent. "]
[Blooming Clouds: "What big words!
6666！
What's your fee, then?
What's the standard? "]
[Chen Yu: "Ten yuan for ten minutes. Subtitles and background music are included."]
[Blooming Clouds: "Ten yuan for ten minutes?
Subtitles included as well?
Are you sure you're a professional editor? "]
[Chen Yu: "If I can't reach the standard of a professional editor, I'll pay you."]
[Blooming Clouds: "Crap!
6666！
Not bad, old bro. You're so cool.
I'll send you a clip of the video I edited last month and the finished product. If you can edit it to the standard of my finished product, I'll give you 20 yuan for every ten minutes. "]
Seeing this, Chen Yu immediately became vigilant, his thumbs flying across the keyboard.
[Chen Yu: "Quality, huh?
I want to edit a video that far surpasses your finished product, and you'll pay me 30 yuan per minute? "]
[Blooming Clouds: "No problem!
If you have that standard, I'll fire all the editors in my studio and give all the work to you. "]
[Chen Yu: "OK, OK.
Send it over. "]
A few minutes later, the other party sent Chen Yu over a dozen gigabytes of video material and a finished product.
Without even looking at the finished product, Chen Yu immediately downloaded the material.
The entire process took over a hundred minutes.
As for the editing, it only took five seconds … A 30-minute-long review video was edited.
In addition, Chen Yu had used PR software to modify the video slightly, so the editing process took no more than a minute.
"Pa!"
After exporting the video, Chen Yu excitedly snapped his fingers.
"I got 90 yuan in one minute!
If I can increase my internet speed … I'm going to be rich … "
…
