Me: Create a #wanghong / #internetcelebrity; it can be more-than-human.

Students:
- Llama cafe
- Lidl
- Tea house on a mountain
- Foreign lady who loves #China
- Tiny pig
- Bot network
- Virtual idol
- Haunted hotel

Many people wanted more-than-humans. Had to highlight difference between wanghong as 'unique' internet celebrity / #influencer vs #wanghong as repeatable #vibe #aesthetic

To discuss #InternetCelebrity / #WangHong and #Influencers in China, I also ask the students to read this piee on beauty influencers:

And this piee by myself and two friends on #wanghongurbanism in China which we wrote for #ChaoyangTrap:

Starting "Make-A-#Wanghong Company" (#internetcelebrity) #teaching activity in seminars. The students role play running an #influencer management company in #China and make a strategy document.

One of the readings I ask them to do is, "Historicising Wanghong economy" by Xiaofei Han:

The activity is inspired by Crystal Abidin's teaching and extended to be a multi-week project:

A slide for my teaching this week. The slides reads:

Make-a-Wanghong Management Company Week 1

BRIEF: You and your group (of brand strategists based in the Netherlands and Shanghai) have been employed by a “second generation wealth” (富二代 fuerdai; the child of a wealthy family) to create and run a wanghong management company and to plan the companies first wanghong.

They want something managed by this company to get famous, for it to persist for a long period of time, and for the company to find investors in the future. They don’t want short term infamy, they do want marketing potential and maybe a collab with Supreme.

They are pragmatic and don’t mind if the ‘wanghong’ is human or more-than-human. They have seen everything from Li Ziqi to Wenheyou, and are friends with Wang Sicong.

They are handsoff, but they want the project to eventually scale up and to have multiple employees and wanghong. The project can be centred on anything - except them!! - but the wanghong must be marketable in China: that’s where the money is!
