During the work break, hope Bates, relying on the doorframe, habitually turns on his mobile phone, opens the photo wall, swipes the screen, browses the photos and temporarily empties his brain. Then his fingers stop and fall on a picture.
It's a colored pencil drawing. The protagonist of the picture is blue Li, dressed in a simple white shirt and jeans, holding up a big red bucket with both hands and buttoning it towards his head, conditionally closing his eyes, but the smile at the corner of his mouth is blooming wantonly. In a moment, the charm captured seems to break free from the shackles of the mobile phone screen and jump on the paper.
Like it now. The line of sight gently lifted, fell on the account name.
Sure enough, Brando mania.
As expected, the whole network can be so vivid to show the blue ceremony temperament, only this one, no semicolon. But hope is more curious about where the inspiration for Brando's mania comes from? Why does the other party suddenly draw such a picture, and what is Lan Li doing in the picture?
Click on Brando's fanatical personal account, you can see clearly in the dazzling, colorful, fresh and pleasant watercolor paintings. The latest picture is a series of hand-painted color pencil drawings, a total of six.
It's rare. It's too rare. Brando's crazy habit is to update one picture at a time. It can be understood that she gave up quantity to ensure the quality. It can also be understood that now she doesn't need a lot of updates to maintain the number of fans. Hope never saw a group of six pictures uploaded at one time.
This group of photos, all related to lanli.
Three of them, the protagonist is Lan Li. The first picture shows lanli smiling and waving, the second one is the one that hope just browsed, and the third one shows the moment when the red bucket fell down, and all the ice water poured on his head. Lanli became a drowned chicken in a moment, but he was still smiling in embarrassment.
The other three, two of which are directly related to Lan Li. One is blue Li holding a mobile phone, aiming at Paul Walker, while Paul shyly waves his hand to refuse; The other is Paul holding up the red bucket, pouring the ice water down, instantly falling into the same dilemma.
The last one is indirectly related to Lan Li, because in the picture, Lan Li did not appear. On the one hand, the painting materials of watercolor pencils are consistent; On the other hand, the use of the whole color maintains a similar pace.
Above the picture is a girl sitting in a wheelchair, holding a guitar in her arms, and her face is full of sunshine. It seems that she is singing freely. And she has the same red bucket beside her. It should be
"Heather", eyes fell on the lower right corner, hope found Brando fanatical notes. This is Heather cross.
She admits that Brando's fanatical paintings are still so breathtaking and wonderful, but there is still no clue about the source of inspiration for this group of sketches.
Not from ground, line of sight fell on a picture of newest update. Just look at the small picture, it's a piece of white paper, with black fonts in the middle. It's not attractive at all. It's missed by accident, but after clicking it, hope is stunned.
Read it again and again, and then read it again. I can't help but scream, "ah!" The surge of emotion could not be suppressed at all, and even began to jump in place, just like a lively rabbit. The excited voice broke the peace in the coffee shop, and all the eyes were projected.
Hope immediately realized his gaffe, raised his right hand to cover his mouth, which was the only way to prevent the sound from leaking out, then turned his head and apologized to the guests, "I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But... "But she was not able to control her excitement after all," but, Langley hall opened a social network account, and released a video, God! "
I can't wait for hope to share this wonderful news with everyone.
Among the coffee shops that work, young people are the main customers. Some people take their eyes back and continue to invest in their own affairs; And more people are showing a look of surprise, rustling began to talk up, "really?"
Don't mention hope. Every netizen who is active on the social network platform immediately starts to have a surge of curiosity“ The 500 million box office of "tomorrow's edge" in North America is definitely not a group of meaningless figures.
"Hope, really?" The other three staff members of the cafe gathered one after another, and their bright eyes revealed their inner surging.
Hope nodded and showed Brando's crazy picture to his friends.
Finally, Brando crazily added two topics of "ice bucket challenge" and "Langley hall registered social network account" in the picture information, and AI te added Langley's account "Sisyphus".
Brando mania not only delivered the message, but also expressed support in his own way; At the same time, Brando fanatical also said that she was just an invisible illustrator, so it would be difficult to participate in the ice bucket challenge. But in order to support the charity activities of Langley, she has officially donated money to the heather cross foundation.
It was rumored that Brando had contributed 50000 dollars. For an ordinary freelancer, this is no doubt a large sum of money. In all aspects, she is expressing her support and support for Lan Li with practical actions.
For the first time, hope first paid attention to blue Li on the photo wall.
In less than 30 minutes, Brando's pictures had 10000 likes, and the growth rate was still rising; The followers of "Sisyphus" account have come to 20000 people by leaps and bounds, and hope is the 247777 fans.
Then, I went to twitter. First, I paid attention to lanli's account. Now, more than 40000 people have paid attention to it. The rising speed is appalling; What's more, lanli's ice bucket challenge video has become one of the top ten hot trends in the world. After receiving more than 67000 repeats, it is creating unimaginable wavelengths.
Over and over again, hope watched the video of the ice bucket challenge over and over again.
At the beginning, I couldn't help laughing, because of the unusual behavior of lanli, and because of the joy and joy in the whole video, such a young and energetic lanli is really rare; But as he watched, hope began to grieve. He couldn't help thinking of "one man's concert" and the "beast" above the Grammy Awards.
Immediately, hope understood the real meaning of the ice bucket challenge.
He couldn't help but dial William Taylor. His voice trembled uncontrollably. "Do you see that? Young master's ice bucket challenge. You said, how can we express our support? The young master has been making unremitting efforts, and I also want to do my part. "
William is also thinking at this time, holding the same idea as hope, "I just thought, if we can call our college students together to participate in the ice bucket challenge, 30 people, 50 people, or even 100 people, and then upload the video to Facebook, and call on the students of other majors or other schools to participate in it, in addition to artists, Ordinary people have come to know ASL again. What do you think? "
With that, the inspiration gradually burst out, "or, we don't want to challenge inside Quixote. Don Quixotes in Los Angeles stand in front of the Hollywood signboard to challenge, don Quixotes in New York stand on Times Square to challenge, don Quixotes in San Francisco stand on the Golden Gate Bridge to challenge... Let the don Quixotes all over the world unite and participate in this activity, and really let the young master feel our support. "
Hope wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes, and his face became firm. "Not only that, each of us can donate $100 or even $10 to charity. Little by little, we can gather together and finally form a powerful force to really help the heather Cross Foundation achieve more plans."
After experiencing "one person's concert", experiencing "Don Quixote", experiencing "hype gate", they really unite and grow up, and stand firmly behind Lan Li. Now, it's time to step forward and let the world feel the power of don Quixotes.
Perhaps this ice bucket challenge is the best opportunity and stage for them to give back to the society.
After hanging up the phone, hope and William began to get busy. As a source of information, they spread the information further quickly, and then formed a step by step to spread the information. At this moment, the social network's contacts and branches are fully reflected, and at the same time, the characteristics of the network era are displayed to the extreme.
From Cecilia, who uses her personal account influence, to hope, who unites fans, they have become the solid backing of lanli and the most powerful force to promote the ice bucket challenge.
Before them, lanli's contacts in the industry were gradually revealed. Before netizens and fans began to work hard, Paul Walker's support successfully created a topic.
In a short period of time, lanli's Twitter and photo wall can attract so many netizens' attention. Paul has done his utmost to swipe the screen and achieved outstanding results, which makes lanli's twitter followers exceed 40000 in an instant; In addition to Paul, the other two actors named in the lanli ice bucket challenge video also showed up for the first time and expressed their support with practical actions.
When Jack Gyllenhaal appeared in the video with a puzzled face, it was undoubtedly another Internet hot spot after blue Lee.
