Chapter 118: 117, Young Pioneers Brigade, Brigade Commander! (Chapter 11 seeks monthly pass)_1 Chapter 118: 117, Young Pioneers Brigade, Brigade Commander! (Chapter 11 seeks monthly pass)_1 Can eyes truly speak? The answer is yes.
In his past life, Ren He recalled that among Chinese leading actors, Leung Chiu-wai was universally acknowledged as soone whose eyes could talk. He never expected to beco famous overnight because of his own expressive eyes.
Typically, follow-up videos never achieve the popularity of the original, akin to derivative novels seldom surpassing the success of the pioneers, with half that performance considered quite impressive. However, the short film “Knight” was different; from its very appearance, it demonstrated a dominant posture, crushing all other videos in terms of click-through and share rates!
There were several key reasons for this. First, TK Company had a good reputation in the industry. Second, the professionalism of Liu Erbao’s team. Third, in this video, Ren He had again made a breakthrough.
And lastly, it was because of those eyes.
So even comnted directly under the video that if the most beautiful eyes of the year were to be selected in 2006, this young man’s eyes would definitely make the list, for they possessed the rare ability to deliver a soul-stirring impact.
“Suddenly feel like trying out cycling…”
“I can ride with no hands on the handlebars!”
“Bowing down to the deity who can ride with no hands on the handlebars, may I ask which hospital you’re currently in?”
In truth, the technique of riding with no hands is sothing many people can achieve, maintaining balance through the montum of speed. Many teens enjoy showing off by riding in this manner, but this is only a basic skill on the journey of cycling events.
In this campaign of stunt cycling marketing, TK Company gradually observed a phenonon: among the viewers, half of them were starting to pay less attention to the stunts in the video and more to that gaze, shifting their focus from the video itself to its protagonist, Ren He.
In reality, there are car videos where even if the drifting is slick, people might not care who the driver is. However, in Ren He’s case, the notion seed to be overturned once again.
But TK had no regrets. Everyone knew that this video was an advertisent for TK, and as long as the video was widely distributed, TK’s influence would grow. There were other high-end bicycle makers besides them; even though TK had always been a leader in the industry, the market share gap was shrinking each year. Who could say TK would maintain its advantage indefinitely?
So they had to find every ans to increase their influence.
All of TK’s executives agreed that spending 1.5 million US dollars a year for Ren He’s endorsent was an exceptionally correct decision. As long as Ren He was famous enough, TK would benefit from his popularity. After all, the contract clearly stated that in official challenge events, Ren He had to be escorted by TK staff, transported by a dedicated vehicle, and wear TK attire.
In fact, not only did the audience get excited by the video, but even those within TK were stirred with enthusiasm.
TK was successful because they focused on the Extre Domain of cycling. They were passionate about cycling projects. A bicycle leaving their hands underwent various performance tests to ensure the maximum user experience for athletes or enthusiasts. But to know how to satisfy custors, they first had to understand and love cycling themselves.
One could say that bicycles were their creed, their corporate culture. As for the young man Ren He, they were more astonished and amazed!
TK owned a cycling club, although its performance had been disappointing, and despite the continuous financial investnt, TK had never given up or considered selling the club.
At that mont, the person in charge of the TK Club rushed to the headquarters in a frenzy: “Who is the young man in the video? Can he join the club? If the executives would let him, I guarantee that after a year of acclimatization, we’ll achieve great results next year!”
TK’s executives shook their heads, “No, it’s not possible to persuade him.”
This matter had in fact been discussed between An Si and Ren He afterwards, but it was clear that Ren He wasn’t even willing to show his face, let alone participate in official competitions. Moreover, he had many other activities to engage in and couldn’t waste all his ti on a single event. With his campus life thriving, Ren He now declined any activity that would interfere with his schooling.
He probably never thought that one day he would love school life so much…
The sports world actually knows a truth: talent-based athletes are much harder to co by than those who are effort-based. In the realm of global elites, if you want to be in the top hundred, exceptional talent is a must, after all, there are billions of people in the world.
So when the focus of the entire industry was on Ren He himself, those spectators who were just there to watch the excitent were no exception.
Many of their doubts were voiced in the comnts: “Is this really a junior high school student? I rember the original video ntioned he is Chinese, right? Why hasn’t any of his related identity information been revealed?”
“Why cover his face? I really want to see what he looks like!”
One very important reason why everyone’s attention was on Ren He was his charm attributes that even he underestimated!
This one video alone won over countless fans for Ren He, many of whom were won who had never paid attention to extre sports before. They liked the video purely because they thought Ren He’s gaze was just too cool!
You would say that his eyes might not be that great-looking, but how co his gaze is so captivating?
The comnts were flooding in by the dozen every minute, and about half of them were from won fawning over Ren He. This was practically star treatnt. Now they just want to know who Ren He really is!
But when the video was released in China… the style of the comnts changed a bit…
“Damn, isn’t that a Red Scarf he’s wearing on his face!”
“Damn, so he’s from our Young Pioneers; Captain, don’t shoot, I’m one of us!”
“Hahaha, Young Pioneers rock!”
“I used to think I was pretty aweso for wearing a Red Scarf back in the day, but then sothing seed off, and I just kept sliding backwards. In the old days, I was a Young Pioneer squad leader too, and now I know why I’m not as cool as he is! Because I didn’t wear my Red Scarf over my face!”
“Hahaha, not wearing it on your face is 666!”
The foreigners didn’t ntion the Red Scarf probably because they were unaware of the Red Scarf culture in China; they just thought it was an ordinary handkerchief. After all, don’t Western cowboys often wrap bandanas around their necks too?
But it’s different inside China. Ever since the Young Pioneers were established, who hasn’t worn a Red Scarf in primary school? If you didn’t wear it, they simply wouldn’t let you into the classroom. The squad leaders would stand under the teaching building every day to check, and if you didn’t have your Red Scarf, it was three words for you: Go back and get it!
What dominance.
So when the video was released dostically, the style of the comnts instantly went off the rails…
Who wasn’t a Young Pioneer, right? The Red Scarf is aweso! Our Young Pioneers squad produced a talent!
Our Young Pioneer squad leader shows off his skills, crushing the foreigners, which is aweso. From now on, our Red Scarf Sect will have a Sect Hierarch, are you scared! Making a video and not forgetting to wear a Red Scarf – what does this tell you? It tells you that our Sect Hierarch loves his country!
These comnts gave Ren He a toothache. Are you guys sick or what? Yang Xi beside him was shaking with laughter. But upon further thought, Ren He found it amusing too. The journey of reliving his life was just beginning, with his loved one right beside him, and the sunlight was as bright as ever.
…
If you haven’t had enough, here’s another chapter for you, fresh out of the oven. Really, I don’t have a single chapter in stock anymore, but rest assured, the update speed after the book goes on the shelves will definitely be faster than before.
