A dance video has received tens of millions of likes. Can Xue Baobao become the next Zhong Meimei?

This article starts with the recently popular Douyin dance blogger Xuebaobao, and offers suggestions on the development of child star bloggers. It is recommended for those who want to learn about the growth of child star bloggers.

On March 2, Douyin dance blogger Xue Baobao released a video titled "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage". In the video, Xue Baobao first performed a one-handed somersault, then jumped onto two stools to perform an aerial split. The two stools were separated by more than one meter, but after doing the splits, Xue Baobao easily closed the stools with his legs.

After the stools were closed, Xuebaobao stood on them and danced while lip-syncing to "A Thousand Years of Waiting", which shows her profound dancing skills. One netizen commented: "If I do any of these moves, I will go straight to the orthopedic department."

Once the video was released, it received 15.55 million likes, and Snow Baby’s fans increased exponentially. According to Relang data, in the past half month, Snow Baby’s fans increased by 1.913 million. Currently, Snow Baby has a total of 5.048 million fans on Douyin.

Judging from Xue Baobao’s previous Douyin profile, she comes from the countryside, likes singing and dancing, and taught herself dance at the age of eight. She also claims that "as long as you can sing the song, there is no dance that I can't dance." Now, after years of hard training, Xue Baobao has finally become popular on the entire Internet. As for the future, can she step onto a bigger stage like Han Tiantian and Zhong Meime?

01The singing and dancing snow baby

Xuebaobao's parents divorced when she was a child, and she was raised by her grandmother. Her Douyin account is currently operated by her father. As early as 2019, Xuebaobao joined Douyin, but the videos posted on the account are more like a growth record of her and her brother. Xuebaobao and her brother have been singing and dancing in the videos since they were young, and I think her sense of camera also took root from this.

Although Xue Baobao grew up in a single-parent family, she has a cheerful and generous personality. What's more rare is that Xue Baobao has a very high talent for dancing. She often performs singing and dancing in front of her classmates without any stage fright. Before she became famous, Xue Baobao had already accumulated more than 3 million fans.

Judging from the videos released by Snow Baby, she is a versatile girl. Those extremely difficult dance moves are just the tip of the iceberg of her talent. Snow Baby's talent performances involve many fields. She can wear camouflage clothes to perform splits and one-handed somersaults, looking heroic. She can also wear an apron to sell glutinous rice balls and candied haws. She can also carry a basket and hold a handkerchief to perform Errenzhuan. She can even do a square dance at the door of a store. She also never forgets to check in for folk dance when traveling.

In addition to dancing, Snow Baby can also play the guzheng, walk like a model, and perform Chinese martial arts. From the videos of Snow Baby showing her talents, we can see that she is not only extremely talented in dancing, but also has an innate talent for performance, and can smoothly switch her facial expressions, demeanor, and movements according to different scenes. When dancing, Snow Baby is full of energy and moves like a rabbit, but when playing the guzheng, she instantly becomes dignified and quiet, as if she has become a different person. Every time she switches the performance scene, Snow Baby can transition her performance very naturally, which is also the reason why she can retain the audience after quickly gaining fans. Many netizens praised Snow Baby for her versatility.

In daily life, Snow Baby is also very sensible. She will help her brother tie his shoelaces when she goes out. When her brother cries, she will sing to comfort him. She will also take him to perform and teach him the dance moves she knows. When her father is not at home, Snow Baby will turn into a caring little cotton-padded jacket and take the initiative to help her father with housework. However, the smart and sensible Snow Baby sometimes makes countless viewers feel very distressed. She once sang in a video: "How cruel is this road? There are too many helplessness and helplessness. Don't be afraid of the hardship of the road you choose. There is no turning back if you quit now." I think she also sang her own voice with this song.

For Xuebaobao, this popularity is both an opportunity and a challenge. As a child star blogger, she has unlimited development potential. Previously popular child star bloggers such as Han Tiantian and Zhong Meimei were discovered by professional teachers and stepped onto a bigger stage. I believe Xuebaobao will also get more development opportunities, but fame and fortune are a double-edged sword after all. Xuebaobao is still young, and her family still needs to carefully weigh the pros and cons.

02After the child star blogger becomes popular, what should be the next step?

After the rise of short video platforms, due to their low threshold and easy operation, they have provided many people with a platform to become "famous overnight". Many child star bloggers who have not received professional training and are gifted have also entered the audience's field of vision.

For example, Han Tiantian, who has a beautiful voice, comes from a rural area in Jinzhou, Liaoning Province. She has not received any vocal training since she was a child. Once, her class teacher accidentally posted a video of Han Tiantian singing on the Internet. Because Han Tiantian's voice is highly recognizable and has a sense of maturity beyond her age, coupled with her solid singing skills, her songs always win the hearts of the people. Therefore, Han Tiantian quickly became popular and was discovered by Shi Dongying, a vocal teacher in Shandong. Shi Dongying knew that Han Tiantian's family was poor, so she taught her to sing for free and helped her buy clothes. Later, under the guidance of Shi Dongying, Han Tiantian covered extremely difficult songs such as "Unparalleled in the World" and "Left Hand Pointing to the Moon", and made significant progress. She also appeared on CCTV's "First Lesson of School", Jiangsu Satellite TV's Lantern Festival Lychee Lantern Festival, Jilin Spring Festival Gala and other stages, and participated in the movie "Embracing You Through the Cold Winter".

Coincidentally, Zhong Meimei from Hegang, Heilongjiang also became famous quickly for imitating her teacher. In the video, Zhong Meimei highly restored the teacher's laughter, anger and scolding in the classroom, which was hilarious. Some netizens commented on Zhong Meimei's performance: "After graduating for many years, I felt like I was dragged back to the classroom all of a sudden", "He can win a Best Actor Award"... After Zhong Meimei became famous for imitating her teacher, she tried to imitate roles such as subway salesperson.

From this, it can be seen that Zhong Meime is very good at observing life and digging out inspiration for performance from life, which is also an indispensable professional quality for an actor. Zhong Meime's acting talent was soon discovered by Liu Tianchi, an acting teacher at the Central Academy of Drama, who also gave Zhong Meime a series of guidance.

For child star bloggers, fame and fortune come too suddenly, and it is easy to fall into it, but Zhong Meimei has a clear understanding of herself. She once admitted that she might be popular for about a week and would soon be forgotten. It was because of this clarity that when Zhong Meimei faced the choice of the future, he decisively gave up the 5 million contract and planned to apply for the Beijing Film Academy. Later, Zhong Meimei also participated in the movie "Life Events" and the variety show "Youth Troubles Research Institute". Now she still occasionally posts some videos imitating teachers on Douyin and works hard towards her goals.

03Written at the end

It is true that the child star bloggers became popular because they showed amazing talent and ability, but one thing that cannot be ignored is that age also played an invisible role in boosting their popularity. When the outside world gave them titles such as "genius boy" and "genius girl", they were still young and could easily be overwhelmed by the flowers and applause. Examples of "Zhongyong's injury" are not uncommon.

For child star bloggers, popularity is only temporary. They need opportunities to obtain professional training and constantly improve themselves in order to achieve long-term development. However, due to age restrictions, they do not have sufficient judgment and need their parents to steer the ship correctly and in a timely manner.

As the saying goes: "One minute on stage, ten years of hard work off stage." Now, after years of hard training, Xue Baobao has finally had her own "fifteen minutes" of fame. I hope she can seize the opportunity and head for the stars and the sea.
