Li Jiaqi’s experience is often interpreted as an inspirational chicken soup: born in an ordinary, unremitting efforts, rewriting destiny. Few people realize that the screen image of this 27-year-old boy, like our spending habits, is the result of being screened by Internet algorithms.

This is a story about algorithms and people. “One person, becoming an algorithm, now wants to return to people.” When Li Jiaqi is already at the peak of attention, he is also confused, who he will become.

“I am not a star, just a net red.”

At 3 o’clock in the morning, the hot pot was still snoring and bubbling, Li Jiaqi was not a little sleepy, and asked for a bottle of wine.

In the middle of the night, at the beginning of the meal, he called a few bottles of champagne. Before becoming famous, Li Jiaqi likes to drink beer. When I went to Paris earlier this year, when I visited the Guerlain headquarters in France, an old gentleman asked him what he liked to drink. “Beer”, he saw that the other party’s eyes quickly flickered a little. The old gentleman said, you must try champagne.

“I think now, the sound of champagne clinking is really much better than the beer mug.” Li Jiaqi’s voice is low and relaxed, and the speed of speech is half of usual.

The first day, he just finished the “Wish of Wishes” of the month, this is the promotional festival created by Li Jiaqi live. “All girls, all girls!” Li Jiaqi maintained a high-pitched tone throughout the live broadcast. In 4 hours and 17 minutes, he continuously promoted 48 products, those masks, liquid foundation, office snacks 3000 pieces, 5000 pieces of shelves. In a few seconds, it was snapped up by netizens.

At this moment, in this private villa private hot pot restaurant, Li Jiaqi’s tone has finally returned to the state of ordinary people. “In fact, live broadcast, I can urinate for 4 hours.” He took the initiative to mention the first night of his own trip to the bathroom several times: “Every time is not urinating, is to go to the balcony to empty.”
