Chapter 169: Diaosi Festival

As the moderator of the Diba forum, Brother Caise is now a celebrity.

But in front of Yang Xiao, he is still a younger brother.

There’s nothing I can do, I gave too much!
Like Dalizi, he had privately signed a number of business cooperation contracts with Yang Xiao's company in advance and is now considered Yang Xiao's employee.

But nominally, he dared not reveal this relationship, he wanted to earn the money without any hesitation!

In addition, the significance of this Diaosi Festival is too great.

Brother Colorful has been the moderator of the forum not long ago.

This is a good opportunity to increase your online influence!
To him, Yang Xiao's suggestion was like finding a pillow when he was sleepy.

No matter what he says, we must get this done!
So I immediately contacted several other bar administrators in the QQ group to discuss the matter and think about how to promote it.

Boss Shiguang even wrote the theme song for Diaosi Festival.

As for them, who already had experience in forum management and event planning, other specific event details were not difficult at all.

What's more, they are all in the same boat, so of course they will do their best.

After Yang Xiao discussed the matter with Brother Cai Se, he went offline.

There are two adopted sons waiting for him outside.

After turning off the computer, Yang Xiao went out and came to the Internet cafe nearby that Zhou Hongyu mentioned.

This Internet cafe is quite large, and all the monitors are LCD.

The internet fee is three yuan per hour.

They even require ID cards to access the internet.

Before Yang Xiao took out his ID card at the front desk, the network administrator took out a thick stack of documents from the box and asked him:
"If you don't have an ID, we can provide one, but it will cost 50 cents per hour."

Yang Xiao glanced at the ID cards, all of which were portraits of elderly people, with birth dates of 1962.
Damn, I don’t know where he got it from. No wonder there are so many students in the Internet cafe.

It is true that every policy has its own countermeasure.

Fortunately, Yang Xiao is an adult and his ID card can be used.

After casually recharging ten yuan, Yang Xiao went in and took a look around, and finally found Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao.

The two of them were playing Cross Fire and didn't notice Yang Xiao coming behind them until he patted them on the shoulder.

"Hurry, hurry, turn on the computer, let's go play some team games."

"Okay, I'll play with you two today. It's been years since we played together."

"By the way, Brother Xiao, we are going to Wancheng, right?"

"Yes, we have to go."

My parents have already informed my cousin Liu Xiaobing, so Yang Xiao can enter the factory immediately as long as he goes over there!
You don’t have to worry about where to live, just stay with him.

But Yang Xiao had no intention of following their arrangements.

His destination is Shenzhen, but he can also go to Dongguan!
The purpose was to say hello to my cousin and coordinate the testimony so as to avoid being exposed.

The two cities are not far apart.

Yang Xiao asked: "Why are you asking this?"

Zhou Hongyu chuckled: "Did you forget? Our team captain is also in Wancheng. We didn't have the chance to attend the party last year. This time, it's a good opportunity to meet them."

"Yes, yes, let's meet our online friend. The captain of our [Love and Friendship Society] is very rich."

Li Yuanbao was also a member of their team, but his skills were too poor and he did not meet the standard for being given a gun. However, he was given a name-changing card for 15 yuan.

Like Zhou Hongyu, he was full of anticipation and curiosity about this face-to-face meeting!

Yang Xiao suddenly remembered something.

Because of his good skills, he was also the examiner of this team (mentioned in Chapter 7 above), and he had a good relationship with the captain.

Moreover, in his previous life, when he was working in Wancheng during the summer vacation, he actually had a date with the captain of this team offline.

As far as I can remember, this captain is four or five years older than Yang Xiao.

His family opened a small factory in Wancheng. He was considered a rich second-generation and his name seemed to be Wang Juntao.

At that time, after Yang Xiao finished his work on the assembly line, his greatest pleasure was to go to the Internet cafe and play games with them.

Internet bills, midnight snacks, and even dining out, Yang Xiao never spent a penny.

After that they became friends, but in the following years, due to changes in his family's business, they gradually lost contact.

But this can be regarded as one of the few carefree and happy times in Yang Xiao's memory.

"Okay, let's make an appointment to meet up then."

Zhou Hongyu and Li Yuanbao in their previous lives did not have such a good opportunity.

At that time, they heard Yang Xiao talking about it on QQ. Not only could they play with netizens, but they could also get free internet fees, food and drinks, and even spend money on his account.

How could they not be envious of such a good thing?

After playing online for two hours, Zhou Hongyu and the other person were planning to play all night, but were persuaded by Yang Xiao. They went out to eat a barbecue before going home to rest.

the next day.

As soon as Yang Xiao entered the Diba, he saw the warm-up activities for the Diaosi Festival.

As the moderator of Diba, Brother Caise is indeed capable.

In just one night, I worked out the rules of the event and put them in a pinned post.

Yang Xiao clicked on it and took a look, and it really had some authentic flavor.

[Diba 6.14 Diaosi Festival Event Preview]

[The origin of Diaosi Festival]

——Everyone has a loser moment in their heart, no matter if they are lonely, or want to fight back, or want to find a reason to confess to the goddess, or want to prove themselves, everyone needs an opportunity, a platform to do something they dare not do in normal times, so we need this exclusive festival for losers.

6, represents awesome.

14, represents the Yisi of our Diba!
Therefore, from now on June 6th of every year will be our Diaosi Day!

[Diaosi culture] is a kind of deconstructive culture, which has both the decadence of self-abandonment and the backbone of contempt for the mainstream, using self-mockery to dissolve orthodoxy and using degradation to oppose the sublime. 】

【Diaosi Declaration】

——is the Ah Q of the Internet age, but we are more clear-headed than Ah Q!
——The material poverty of losers is precisely their greatest wealth.

【Ways of celebrating】

1. Being a loser is a counterattack, so on this day, losers muster up the courage to prove themselves.

2. Say inspiring words on the Internet.

3. Confess your love to the girl you like.

【Activity Award】

——Share your own story of how a loser made a comeback, and finally let the netizens vote for you.

The first place winner will receive an iPhone 4.

The top ten will receive a cash bonus of 1,000 yuan.

The first 500 participants will receive a T-shirt of the same style as "Diaosi Man" as a prize.

Note: The prizes for this event are specially sponsored by Sohu Video, the producer and organizer of "Diaosi Nanzi"!

In addition, the exclusive short play for Diaosi Festival, "Diaosi Men", will be exclusively broadcast on Sohu Video on the day of Diaosi Festival, so stay tuned!
This wave of advertising is so obvious.

However, many netizens who did not know the truth thought that the video was specially made by someone hired by the Diba.

[Awesome! I won’t call you a colorful dog anymore! You really are my brother!]

[Our Diba’s reputation is so damn big! ]

【I want to participate in the competition to win iPhone 4】

The popularity of Diaosi Festival has been hyped up unknowingly.

Even in many games, players are spontaneously promoting this Diba Festival.

Because the activities of this Diaosi Festival are unprecedentedly grand.

In the following years, it was hyped by a number of online game manufacturers.

"Diaosi Festival is online, sign-in rewards are doubled!"

"Diaosi Festival exclusive limited skin is online, only 99 yuan!"

"Diaosi Festival exclusive fashion skill, Sky-pushing Hands!"

"Limited Title - Emperor of Strike: Strike to ashes!"

In the original time and space, it is impossible to verify who made the word "diaosi" popular.

But what is certain is that it became popular in 2011.

It was originally a swear word.

But this time, Yang Xiao started hanging out on the forum last year.

This word was occasionally used as a catchphrase on the Internet, so it was posted on Tieba in advance, and then became popular all over the Internet.

It gradually developed into a self-deprecating online subculture.

Diaosi Festival was originally on November 11th, but was changed to June 14th by Yang Xiao.

Now, as soon as the Diaosi Festival event he proposed was announced, all the friends in the Diba were excited.

Although these ways of celebration seem very abstract in later generations.

Moreover, the rewards are so few. Apart from an iPhone 4 which is a bit eye-catching, the other rewards are a bit stingy and few people are willing to take them seriously.

But there are still many netizens signing up to participate!

Even if there is no work, we have to do it!
In fact, most of the bar friends, strictly speaking, are not losers.

But they all identify with this identity very much, and they all call themselves losers, are proud of being losers, and even compete to follow the trend.

Because netizens at that time really needed an identity recognition!
Just like the Diaosi culture explained in the post.

Despise the mainstream!

Dissolve orthodoxy!

Aren’t these the spiritual core of contemporary young people?

Yang Xiao also saw this post on Tieba the next day.

There have been thousands of replies.

In less than a day, the Diaosi song had spread throughout the forum.

Yang Xiao did not use his Weibo to promote this online festival.

Because most of Weibo's fans are women, the fan group and culture are different, so it is somewhat inappropriate.

Instead, Xu Yi from Bilibili was notified and an advertising page for Diaosi Festival was posted on Bilibili.

Let’s just attract each other!
Damn, don’t 2D fans and losers overlap with each other?

Of course, the biggest beneficiary is Bilibili, whose users cannot compare with the active users of Diba.

But in fact, even if the traffic is not directed through other platforms.

The popularity of the forum itself is enough!
This activity was even featured on the homepage by official personnel.

Most users in the entire forum can see this so-called "Diaosi Festival" for the first time.

As a result, this sponsor - "Diaosi Nanren" has also attracted the attention of many people.

Sohu Video released several video clips as a preview a few days ago.

Netizens just thought it was a spoof and funny video.

The participation of so many celebrity actors as a gimmick has attracted many people's interest, but the publicity effect is also average.

Now, in order to cooperate with the Diaosi Festival, Sohu plans to launch "Diaosi Men" online in advance, on June 6th.

Just to get some popularity!
