On Thursday evening during rehearsal, the lead male and female roles were being rehearsed, leaving the supporting role actor, Huo Feng, to idle on one side.
Over there, You Xinran and Wu Di were busily rehearsing.
Meanwhile, Huo Feng was idly scrolling through Douyin...
His follower count had skyrocketed recently, and he had become a Douyin influencer with a million followers thanks to a few videos!
With those million followers came direct messages from various studios inviting Huo Feng to sign on as a studio actor.
On Douyin, it's not uncommon for amateur actors to gain viral fame by participating in studio-packaged skits or short films.
Huo Feng casually chatted with two studios and got an idea of how studios manage Douyin influencers and their methods for making money.
But it was all too much hassle, and Huo Feng found it exhausting.
Studios dealing with Douyin influencers focus on signing people.
