我們來看看外媒都關(guān)注了他的哪些發(fā)明:
Geng is most proud of his hammer bag. It's a hollow steel mallet with a compartment that slides out of the head. Perfect, he says, for storing your phone, keys and wallet. It has a strap so it can hang over the wearer's shoulder. 耿帥最自豪的是他的雷神錘挎包,它是一個(gè)中空的鋼槌,,里面的隔層可以由上端滑出,。他說,用來放手機(jī),、鑰匙和錢包非常完美,。它有一條帶子,能掛在肩上,。
His other inventions include a 66-cm long comb made out of iron, 他其他的發(fā)明還有66厘米長的鐵梳子,,
A metal contraption that makes flicking someone on the forehead more painful. 把別人腦門彈得更疼的鐵玩意兒,。
A toilet built into a scooter that flushes when you pull a lever on the handlebar. 內(nèi)嵌在摩托車?yán)锏鸟R桶,打開車座,,按下手柄就能沖水,。
2018年在快手平臺(tái)上火起來的手工耿擁有超過三百萬粉絲,制作了數(shù)百條視頻,,正在迅速實(shí)現(xiàn)從發(fā)明家到企業(yè)家的蛻變,。
"Most days I don't go to sleep until after midnight, I'm so busy thinking, OK, what should I make next?" said Geng, 31, who sports a ponytail and trademark blue dungarees. “大多數(shù)時(shí)間我都是后半夜才睡,我總是在思考,,我下一條視頻該做什么,。”31歲的耿帥說,,他梳著馬尾,,穿一身標(biāo)志性的藍(lán)色粗布工裝褲。
商業(yè)模式
包括英國《衛(wèi)報(bào)》在內(nèi)的多家外媒都分析過手工耿的賺錢之道,,感慨中國網(wǎng)紅經(jīng)濟(jì)的巨大發(fā)展?jié)摿Α?
《衛(wèi)報(bào)》稱,,手工耿的收入來源包括網(wǎng)友的打賞(donations given online)、廣告(advertisements)以及網(wǎng)上賣貨(selling his items online),。
Geng is part of an industry that generates as much as $4.7bn in revenue, and one that has few parallels outside of the country. In China, the most popular live streams are not of live events or the feeds of friends, but performances or shows held by strangers. 耿所在的行業(yè)能創(chuàng)收47億美元,,很少國外相應(yīng)行業(yè)能與之抗衡。在中國,,最火爆的直播不是來自賽事直播或是朋友圈實(shí)時(shí)視頻,,而是來自陌生人的表演。
據(jù)《華盛頓郵報(bào)》報(bào)道,,手工耿每次直播的收入是一千元左右,。
Geng tries to come up with a new invention every week and to make videos two or three times a week. He makes about $150 every time he does a live-streamed broadcast — decent money in a town where five people can have a lavish lunch for a total of $25. He makes enough to support his family — he and his wife have two children — and his brother, who shoots the videos. 耿帥試圖每周想出一種新發(fā)明,每周制作兩三次視頻,。他每次直播的收入約為150美元(約1035元),,在一個(gè)五人總共花25美元就能吃一頓豐盛午餐的小鎮(zhèn),這算是不錯(cuò)的收入,,他賺的錢足以養(yǎng)活妻子,、兩個(gè)孩子和幫他拍攝這些視頻的弟弟。
CNN商業(yè)頻道甚至專門制作了一條視頻介紹手工耿的致富之道,。
遇見中國的“無用愛迪生”,,擁有超過2百萬粉絲的直播發(fā)明家
很難想象如今坐擁百萬粉絲,依靠線上經(jīng)濟(jì)賺錢養(yǎng)家的耿帥是如何實(shí)現(xiàn)人生逆襲的,,他來自焊工世家,,高中畢業(yè)就跟著父親來到北京打工闖蕩。
在接受《華盛頓郵報(bào)》記者采訪時(shí),,他給出了自己的答案:
Geng attributes his fame to China's rapid industrialization, which has seen millions of people migrate from rural regions to small apartments in the big cities, where they work long days. 耿把他的成名歸功于中國迅速發(fā)展的工業(yè)化進(jìn)程,,上百萬人搬離農(nóng)村進(jìn)入大城市的公寓生活,,每天工作很長時(shí)間。
"Chinese people love inventions and inventing stuff, but because of economic development, most people don't have the time to do it," he said. "That's why I am popular — they watch me making things because they can't make things themselves." “中國人熱愛發(fā)明和研究新東西,,但由于經(jīng)濟(jì)迅速發(fā)展,,大部分人根本沒時(shí)間做這些了,”他說,,“所以我才能這么紅,,大家都愛看我搞發(fā)明因?yàn)樗麄冏约翰荒苓@么做?!?
