Chapter 143 - Establishing Zhang Ye’s Official Fanclub! (2/2)

“I will join, too!”

“Count me in!”

“My large saber is again again again again again again again again unable to endure the thirst!”

“Haha, Big Saber Bro is here again! Why do you always only have that to say?”

“Teacher Zhang, please decide soon. As long as you agree, we can set up the fan club. In the future, we will go wherever you command us to go!”

Everyone lent their support!

Seeing the fans like this, Zhang Ye was a little touched, “Okay. Of course, I don’t have a problem, but I have been very busy lately. I definitely don’t have the time to manage it. Can you all elect a moderator?”

“Is there a need for election?”

“Just let Number1 do it!”

“Right, Number1 is the most suitable!”

“I fully support it. Every time Teacher Zhang has a problem, Number1 is always the first to rush in to help. We can’t do any better than that.”

“Big Saber Bro is not bad, too. He is also a fierce general!”

“Then Number1 will be the moderator and Big Saber Bro will the deputy moderator?”

No one had any qualms about that.

Zhang Ye then said, “Alright, then it’s decided. I’ll have to trouble Number1 and Big Saber Bro in the future.”

ZhangYeNumber1Fan said, “It’s no trouble at all. Since everyone trusts in me, then I won’t reject it or it will appear corny. Also, Teacher Zhang please do not worry. I will definitely manage your fan club properly.”

Zhang Ye private messaged him, “1482642921. This is my cell phone number. Let’s keep in contact.” He also sent it to Big Saber Bro.

Ring, ring, ring.

A phone call quickly came in.

Zhang Ye picked it up, “h.e.l.lo. How are you?”

The person on the other side of the phone had, to his surprise, a female’s voice, “h.e.l.lo, Teacher Zhang. I’m ZhangYeNumber1Fan. Hur Hur. It’s such a pleasure to hear my idol’s voice.”

Zhang Ye said in surprise, “You are.. female?”

She said, “I never said I was male. Oh, the bios was made up.” Saying that, she said very properly, “Let me introduce myself. You can call me Number1 or Yang Lian. I’m about twenty years old, and have been working at a private company after graduation. I’m just a small employee at the moment, but I studied management, so I have some experience in management, so I can definitely do well managing your fan club. Teacher Zhang, where do you think our HQ should be set up? We must set up a fan platform, so that it is easy for everyone to interact and increase our club’s cohesion.”

Zhang Ye was not very familiar with this, “What’s your suggestion?”

Yang Lian said, “Typically, those A-list celebrities have their own personal websites, which are also the gathering ground for their fans. However, we do not have the ability to do so, nor is there a need. Also, a specialized website is too limiting and more closed off. I think it’s best if our fan club’s HQ is on Tieba. It’s fast and easy to communicate. Its capacity is big, so if it is done well, it can last a lifetime!”

Zhang Ye found it reasonable, “Alright, I’ll follow what you said. Sorry for troubling you.”

“You’re welcome. Then I’ll register on Tieba now. Phew. I’m a bit tired today. I don’t know why I’m so tired these few days. Hur hur. I’ll quickly do it up and go to bed. I’ll rally the ma.s.ses tomorrow.” Yang Lian said.

Zhang Ye said, “Alright, then rest early and don’t overwork yourself.”

This world also had Tieba, but it was not Baidu’s Tieba, but it was another search engine’s Tieba format. In general, there was not much difference, and it only had a few different functionalities. What Yang Lian said was reasonable. Tieba was the best HQ for a fan club. People could interact freely over there, airing their own views. They could also post notices and broadcasting information. It was quite an open platform.

What about Weibo?

That definitely wouldn’t work!

Other than Weibo, in this world, there were other instant messaging programs like QQ, which all had several limitations. It was easy to see why these communication tools did not work. It was alright for a small group of people to communicate, but once the fan club’s numbers increased, there was no way they could support it.

Weibo was the same. It was pretty good as a platform for promotion and posting messages. There were many people there and the spread of news was faster. The only thing was that the community capabilities were not perfect. There was not enough personal s.p.a.ce. It was alright for Zhang Ye to use it for himself, but it was not convenient for his fans to interact with each other, so it naturally would not do.

Also, the member situation on Weibo was complicated. He already had about a hundred thousand fans on Weibo, but in fact, less than 20% of them were real fans. It was likely that only 10% of them were really fans. A large number of people were not really fans who supported him, so the number on Weibo was less reliable.

Di Di.

ZhangYeNumber1Fan’s short message came: The Tieba account has been established. It’s called “Zhang Ye’s Nest”. I’ll be sleeping. Hehe. Teacher Zhang, good night.
