Our reporter Jiang Hongbing
This summer, Tang Cheng graduated and finished his 7-year academic career in biology at the Institute of Neuroscience, Chinese Academy of Sciences.
Unlike many of his classmates, he did not continue to apply for a postdoc, but became a full-time blogger.
In the Bilibili online community, the account "Fonstaff" operated by Tang Cheng and his girlfriend has more than 1.5 million fans. In 2019, he was selected as one of the top 100 "UP masters" at station B and is already well-known in the popular science circle. Blogger.
"Fonstaff" was "popular" almost overnight.
On February 14 last year, Tang Cheng tried to release the original paleontology popular science video "Odd Shrimp: The Story of the First Overlord" for the first time. It was played nearly 100,000 times in 24 hours and the number of account fans increased from 700 to 42,000 in two days.
This prompted them to launch original videos with a frequency of updates every two weeks.
For each 5-15 minute video, the workload is not small, from checking materials, writing copywriting, finding materials, to determining the script, to editing, scoring, etc.
The two who originally only planned to be amateurs, became full-time bloggers.
"Boom" is not accidental.
Tang Cheng has been engaged in science communication since 2014 and has written more than 100 popular science articles on other platforms.
His professional scientific research ability makes him good at finding materials, researching information, striving for accurate science, participating in online courses and other work experience, and also providing him with technical accumulation for video or live broadcast.
"In the past two years, from the beginning I just cross-boundary based on interest, until I couldn't believe that I was on fire, and then when my creative power began to explode, some of my mentality was impetuous, but now I am back to my normal mind." Tang Cheng said, although it became more after the fire. He has done many other activities and work, but he has always positioned himself as a science communicator.
"At present, I just want to focus on expanding and expanding in more forms. As people's living standards improve, the demand for scientific communication will exist for a long time. I am optimistic about the growth of users in the field of popular science." Tang Cheng said that they already have two A part-time assistant who is about to open a studio.
This summer, Tang Cheng’s parents came to Shanghai, “mainly trying to persuade him to find a job before he graduates. After all, being a blogger is unstable and stressful.” Tang Cheng’s mother said.
Tang Cheng can understand their concerns: "Domestic scientific research talents are still severely lacking. Doctors who graduated from prestigious schools are somewhat'not doing business properly' as authors of self-media." In order to convince his parents, he frankly told them that the current income is "worthy of' Ph.D. Identity'".
However, even if they have witnessed the influence of their son's video and live broadcast, parents still cannot help worrying about issues such as social security, household registration, and future schooling of their children.
At the moment, Tang Cheng lives in a rented house in Songjiang, a suburb of Shanghai, where his home, studio, and live studio are integrated.
Because many policies on household registration and social security are tied to "work units", some bloggers he knows, as "freelancers", have to "link" to a certain company.
Tang Cheng was worried that this would easily leave hidden dangers for future development.
He looks forward to more good news to encourage the development of new business formats and flexible employment, so that he and his friends can work more at ease.
