Passage 34
学霸导读 对于网红，一夜成名或一夜暴富，真的来得那么容易吗？
In the past two weeks， Luo Yonghao， better known as former CEO of smartphone company Smartisan， has hosted （ 主持 ） e-commerce live-streaming events. On April 1， his three-hour live stream （ 直播 ） a 1 over 48 million viewers and sold over 910，000 products through transactions （ 交易 ） totaling about 110 million yuan.
With more online superstars rising to fame （ 声名鹊起 ）， it is no wonder an increasing number of students aspire to be live-streamers or bloggers instead of working in traditional industries. Internet celebrities （ 名人 ） are mainly d 2 into two types： one of them makes creative content to attract viewers， such as Papi Jiang， and the other leverages （ 借助 ） their effective communication skills to sell products like cosmetics. Young people seem to f ind this profession （ 职业 ） particularly attractive because they see how easily and quickly certain celebrities have been able to make a fortune （ 发大财 ） at it. In reality， this is f 3 from the case.
Take Luo for example. His road to live-streaming success has not been smooth （ 顺利 ）. While his evening of e-commerce may have seemed highly prof itable （ 有利可图的 ）， Luo only decided to start live streaming because he had f 4 to maintain f inancial control over his company. It is still burdened with debts （ 债务 ） that amount to more than 300 million yuan.
Additionally， many would-be live streamers don’t realize that Luo’s apparent overnight success has a 5 been decades in the making （ 酝酿 ）. He has been posting thoughtful content online through his blog since 2006. As a result， he was able to d 6 a loyal （ 忠诚的 ） following （ 一帮 ） of fans. In other words， Luo did not earn 33 million yuan in a single night—it was actually a ref lection （ 反映 ） of the years of hard work he had put in outside of the limelight （ 公众注意的中心 ） that got him to where he is today.
Before you decide to enter this profession or maybe even drop out of school （ 辍学 ） to pursue it， r 7 that success at anything requires diligence and perseverance. Otherwise， the hopes you hold for your overnight success story will last for just that—one night.
