Almighty painter

Chapter 64 You Are Famous
The headlights swept through the dark night, the van rounded the last intersection, and finally stopped on the embankment of the Yangon River.

"Master, I'll take you here, I have to go back and return the car."

Gu Weijing waved goodbye to the drowsy Mumbai boy in the driver's seat.

Just like when I went to the orphanage, I still spent a lot of time on the winding city roads when I came back.

At this time, it was dark and dark, and everything was quiet.

The lights in the whole street have been extinguished, Gu Weijing quietly walked home from the back door of the gallery, charged his mobile phone, and then went to the bathroom to take a shower.

After a day of running around in the huge city of Yangon, he was also tired.

Gu Weijing dispelled the idea of ​​drawing another sketch in his mind, and prepared to wash up casually before going to bed.

"Buzz!"

"The user you follow [Shengzi] has updated his INSTAGRAM (photo wall)."

I came out of the bathroom in a bathrobe,

Gu Weijing saw such a new reminder appear in the information box of his phone that had just been turned on again.

"Miss Sakai sent a new photo?"

Since they parted ways that day, not only did they add contact information to each other, but Gu Weijing also followed Ms. Sakai's INS.

INS, the abbreviation of the software INSTAGRAM, is the largest social software with small and fresh style pictures in the world.

This software belongs to the same company as Facebook, and it mainly focuses on socializing pictures. Many Hollywood movie stars and painting artists in the world have their own INS accounts.

Sakai Katsuko's INS operation is very professional.

Her account name is her own name without any fancy [Shengzi], and the note is a young artist, the champion of the all-day young artist art competition.

She will often update news of her new works, photos of her life, or information about winning awards in certain art competitions.

When Gu Weijing followed the other party, her account already had 203K followers.

This is almost twice as many fans as her father, the great artist Uncle Sakai, who has more than 7 followers on the official account [Professor Kazusei Sakai Studio] operated by the gallery's professional manager team.

On social media, whether it’s the audience or algorithm recommendations, a pretty little girl is much more popular than a fat man who can only draw.

However, after the other party came to Yangon, the INS update frequency slowed down.

He remembered that the last time Ms. Sakai posted a photo was two weeks ago, with the Shwedagon Pagoda in the background, and the English text was "Meet a very talented friend, let's work together!"

If Gu Weijing's prediction is not bad, then he should be talking about himself.

Seeing that Ms. Sakai had updated the news again, he subconsciously clicked in.

page refresh,

A warm pastel drawing and a colored pencil drawing appeared on the screen.

Huh?
this painting……

"In front of the unknown master, I feel humble and small. I pay tribute to [Mr. Hyperion Channel]'s new challenge winners Jan Arnold and Detective Cat. ——Katsuko Sakai."

At the bottom of the page is the accompanying text given by Sakai Katsuko when updating the photo wall.

He saw Tsunasaka Sakai, Uncle Sakai, and Mrs. Sakai who all liked (like).

What the hell?

Gu Weijing's first reaction when he saw the news was that it was some kind of prank.

With an almost blank expression, he clicked on the YouTube video link that Katsuko Sakai posted below the picture.

When Thomas' famous face appeared on the screen of the mobile phone, Gu Weijing was almost stunned.

he knew this man,

No, he knew the man's body,

not right either...

Gu Weijing knew the muscle lines of this person.

When I was drawing illustrations before, although the COS Batman man was wearing a bat mask, I drew Fang's body and muscle curves in detail.

At this time, compared with the figure of Mr. Hyperion in the video, a familiar image immediately came to mind.

"WTF!"

Like an electrocuted fish, Gu Weijing jumped up from the bed, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.

While playing the video, he got up from the bed, walked quickly to the computer, and pressed the power button.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding ding..."

At the moment when the computer was started and connected to the Internet, all kinds of notification sounds for new news were mixed together, forming a large block.

The mailbox bound to the new messages associated with the Fiverr account seemed to be poisoned, and was instantly overwhelmed by massive emails.

The reminder of new mail messages in the windows status bar pops up from the screen prompt box like a waterfall.

"Fiverr - You have a new message from #SEB STUDIO."

"Fiverr - You have a new message from #Blue49890."

"Fiverr - You have a new message from #…"

Each email slid out from the lower right corner of the computer, only to be replaced by the next email a short time later.

In just a few seconds, the system's new message prompt broke through the upper limit of the status bar and became 999+.

……

"I'm going, God, there is such a coincidence."

After half an hour,
Gu Weijing was still in a daze staring at the finished video and the thousands of massive emails in his mailbox.

He couldn't believe that the buyer who approached him turned out to be the legendary world's number one internet celebrity [Mr. Hyperion].

In fact, this is a coincidence, and it is not a coincidence.

Although there are more than 2300 registered painters on Fiverr, those who registered casually for fun, those who created an account and never logged in again, have too many bad reviews.

There are about 1100 normal commercial painters.

There are about 20 illustrators who charge under $67 for commissions, and only seven who charge exactly $10.

One in seven chances.

And Gu Weijing is the latest one.

As long as someone conducts a reverse search in units of ten dollars, it is easy to see his store under the recommendation algorithm.

However, he didn't have the heart to think about probability at this time.

The new message notification sound from the computer speakers continued.

He turned off the system's new email notification, and the annoying endless ding ding sound finally quieted down.

Gu Weijing opened Fiverr's homepage.

He saw the first unread message in the completed order column, which was sent by the user [Hyperion1077].

“Surprise!!!”

"Hi, I'm Mr. Hyperion, (youtube account: Mr. Hyperion Channel), congratulations on your work winning the new video title of [From $100 to $[-] Million Painting Challenge] that I recorded. This is The most incredible result I've had since recording this video..."

The other party also posted his Twitter address about the new video.

He logged into Mr. Hyperion's Twitter homepage on the computer, and immediately understood where so many new messages in the mailbox came from.

Thomas left seven painters in his tweets, except for the homeless man who wandered the streets, everyone's Twitter account or the link of the Fiverr shop owner.

As the world's largest internet celebrity, he has nearly as many Twitter followers as a president has.

The number of clicks on this tweet has exceeded 3 million and is still increasing rapidly.

Even if only one in [-] viewers is willing to click in and leave a message on their Fiverr account, that's thousands of unread messages.

Fiverr's web client reminded him that his unread messages had reached the [-] online that the server could accommodate.

After all, this is just a multinational part-time job website.

From the day its website went live, it probably never occurred to a part-time shopkeeper that such a huge data flow would hit his mailbox.

If it wasn't for the abnormal traffic monitored by the background of the website and urgent repairs, these sudden influx of users would almost bring down the server of the entire website.

"Thank you for allowing me to record an excellent video. Congratulations to your excellent work for getting the reward it deserves—"

You're famous, Mrs. Detective Cat. "
