她在短视频平台开设了属于自己的频道【律子话你知】,其中一期《澳门妹子告诉你,澳门的教材是什么样子的?》的视频里,她向观众展示了自己在澳门高中使用的历史教材。这条视频很快收获了广泛关注,仅在B站上就有几十万的阅读量,更有不少媒体转发。If you've never watched a video from a channel named Lvzi Hua Ni Zhi (Lvzi Tells You), you definitely won’t be able to guess that the seemingly shy girl is a popular vlogger who can be quite confident on camera.
22-year-old Lvzi is a millennial who found an interest and even a career in video blogging. And she does boast an edge as a Macao student living in southern China's Quanzhou. She is in the right position to tell the story of Macao.
Lvzi began uploading video blogs to bilibili, a popular video sharing website in China, in June.这个时候,短视频行业已经很成熟了,平台上涌现无数背靠专业团队和公司的职业博主,作为一名土生土长的澳门人,律子在内地的大学生活一直循规蹈矩,做视频只是一个“偶然”的决定。
与其他精心准备,制作精良的视频相比,律子的视频风格堪称原生态。随意的穿着打扮,简陋的录制环境,也没有配备专业相机和收声设备。那条让她“成名”的视频,是她在学校的楼道里用手机录的,粗略剪辑后就传上了平台,刚开始,她对视频浏览量并不在乎,只将这作为打发闲暇时间的一个尝试。
澳门学生的身份让律子逐渐得到了一些关注,她时不时会收到网友的私信,询问各种与澳门相关的事情,于是她决定尝试多几个话题,向大家科普普通澳门人的生活日常。It wasn't long before several of her videos garnered millions of views. What started to be a pastime for a college junior during her summer vacation soon turned into worthy content that she decided to pursue seriously as a start-up.
"What impressed me the most is that after I uploaded my first video, compliments from netizens flooded in," Lvzi told CGTN. "My parents rarely praised me for anything I did when I was young, but the viewers are different. They may not take the words too seriously, but what they say heartens me."
最初,律子的视频始终处于不温不火的状态。直到有天她看到一条留言:“你一个澳门人,为什么这么爱国?”
她决定录一个视频,告诉大家,对澳门人而言,有国家认同是一件多么正常的事情。没想到,这条无心插柳的视频,在香港深陷“修例风波”的当下,似乎踩准了点,一下脱颖而出了。视频在平台获得超过200万的播放量,大量的评论涌入律子的视频下方,绝大多数表示了对她的肯定,这些都让律子受到鼓舞。
However, she does receive some harsh comments at times. Some people, for example, questioned her identity as a Chinese citizen. That comment prodded her to make a video statement.
"I am a Macao permanent resident possessing Chinese nationality," she spoke in a solemn tone in the video. "Being Chinese is my bottom line, just as it is for all Chinese people."
The clip turned out to be a hit, with many viewers voicing their support to Lvzi for daring to speak her mind.
仅仅几个月,律子就从一名普通的女大学生,成为小有名气的网红视频博主。她始终不习惯“网红”的称呼,甚至有些战战兢兢,对来自学校、朋友和公共的舆论时常感到无所适从。
迷茫和无措的时候,她甚至有些怀疑,人们对她的关注,是真的喜欢她的视频,还是只因为她身上携带着“澳门人”的标签?
除了让她蹿红的那条视频里旗帜鲜明的发声,律子在话题的选择上也更谨慎了。更多时候,谈及澳门与内地生活的差异,她竭力想要维持一种比较好的平衡。
在这个流量时代,适应规则是不得已的被动选择。像其他深耕平台的博主一样,如何扩大选题,创作出爆款,维持热度,逐渐成为律子不得不思考的问题。为了呈现更好的观看效果,她邀请一名内地的同学参与创作。尽管跟动辄制作经费上万的大团队相比,他们只有两人来完成从策划到最后成片的全过程,但谈到未来,她仍然有所期望。
当被问到在视频里最想传达的是什么,律子说:“一开始的目的很纯粹,让更多的人知道澳门不仅有博彩业,还有很多人文和自然风光。”这个看似安逸平淡的城市是“有趣味,有性格的,澳门是时刻在成长的。” 对她而言,自己还在凭一腔热血的摸索阶段。只要澳门与内地有更多良性的互动,就能越来越好。"I didn't expect the video to cause a sensation," Lvzi said. "But then I thought that what I’m doing may get people to know more about Macao. Many used to take Macao as merely a gambling city or rather Hong Kong’s backyard."The city is far more than that, she said. Despite the city's notably small size, it has long won the title of one of Asia's main entertainment centers. In her eyes, leisure is the word that best represents Macao. "Macao people are seldom in a rush; there is no such thing as hustle and bustle normally seen in a big city."
