所以现实是,如果你想在当今世界取得成功,想在社交媒体上脱颖而出,你就得明白,人们上这些平台不是来看广告,也不是来看产品展示的。
So, the reality is if you wanna succeed in today's world, if you wanna succeed on social media, you have to realize that people are not logging on to these platforms to find an ad, to see a great product shot.
他们不想看到你的维生素补充剂,也不想看到你的房地产广告。
They don't wanna see a shot of your vitamin supplement or your real estate business.
他们想和一段内容产生共鸣。
They want to connect with a piece of content.
他们想感受到某种情绪。
They want to feel something.
现实是,我们今天生活的这个世界,每天都有超过十亿条内容被上传到社交媒体上。
The reality is the world that we live in today, there's over a billion pieces of content uploaded to social media every day.
你得想办法让自己脱颖而出,但关键不在于推销你的产品。
You need to find a way to stand out, and know that is not about selling your product.
你需要讲一个能触动他们情感的故事,一个能让他们感受到你作为一个人的真实性的故事,这样才能建立信任,建立关系,最终让他们愿意和你进一步互动。
You need to tell a story that connects with their emotions connects with them as a human being that will allow you to build that trust build that relationship where they ultimately want to take that next step with you.
所以再说一遍,重点是通过你的内容、通过你讲的故事,让人了解你、喜欢你、信任你,销售自然就会随之而来。
So again, focus on getting people to know, like, and trust you through your content, through the stories you tell, and then the sales will come in.
但我得说,如果你把社交媒体主页当网站来用,光发产品图片、折扣码这类内容,迟早会一次次失败。
But I'm telling you, if you treat your social media profile like it's your website and just keep posting product shots and discount codes and things of that nature, you will ultimately fail time and time again.
我是布兰登·凯恩,欢迎收听《The Futur》。
My name is Brendan Kane, and you are listening to The Futur.
嗨。
Hey.
今天是周五。
It's Friday.
我刚旅行回来。
I've been traveling.
我们都累坏了,但只要有机会和布兰登聊聊,能学到点东西,我们一定不会错过。
We're both exhausted, but anytime I get a chance to talk to Brendan to draw some insights on us, we're gonna take the opportunity to do so.
布兰登,今天我们聊点啥?
Brendan, what are we gonna do today?
我觉得今天可以聊聊,普通人怎么才能爆火,咱们拆解一下。
Well, I think we should cover today how anyone can go viral and break that down.
什么?
What?
因为大多数人觉得他们做不到。
Because most people think they can't.
我不确定他们真能做到。
I'm not sure they can.
他们做得到。
They can.
任何人都可以。
Anybody can.
但真有人这么做吗?
But does anyone do it?
这才是问题所在。
That's the problem.
确实如此。
Well Yeah.
理论上谁都能中彩票,但真正中奖的没几个人。
Theoretically, anybody can win the lottery, but only a few people win the lottery.
是的。
Yeah.
但这里面其实有方法,也有门道。
But there's an actual method and a madness to the madness.
买彩票就是纯粹碰运气。
Lottery is just playing the lottery.
靠的是运气,但病毒式传播是可以设计出来的。
It's pure luck, but virality can be engineered.
还记得上次我们聊街头采访的事吗?你要是真走出去做了,那结果是……
Remember what happened last time we talked about man on the street and what it you went out and did it and Well,
并不是。
it's not
之前是怎样的。
what was.
它的表现比你的帖子高出五到十倍。
It's outperformed your post by, like, five or 10 x.
是的。
Yeah.
效果非常好,还给我打开了新的可能性,让我能做些以前想做的事。
It it is it's done really well, and it's given me a new avenue to do different things I want to do.
明白了。
Okay.
咱们聊聊街头采访吧。
Let's talk about man on the street.
首先,很多人根本不知道街头采访是什么。
First of people don't even know what that is.
街头采访到底是什么?
What is man on the street?
街头采访嘛,顾名思义就是字面上的意思。
So man on the street is basically as it sounds.
你走到街上随便拦住一个陌生人,和他聊上几句,故事就这么展开了。
You approach a random stranger in a street, and you interact with them, and story unfolds.
我们之所以聊街头采访,是因为这种形式结构稳定,而且已经被反复证明很有效。
The reason we're talking about man on the streets, it's a repeatable structure that has proven to succeed time and time again.
现在很多人觉得病毒式传播和社交媒体是个神秘的新玩意儿,好像突然冒出来的一样。
Now the interesting thing about virality and social media, people think it's like this mystery, this brand new thing.
但我有个小问题想问你。
But I have a little question for you.
街头采访最早是什么时候出现的?
When was the man on the street first used?
你觉得它最早是哪一年开始用的?
What year do you think it was first used?
我猜大概是八十年代吧。
I'm gonna say back in the, like, eighties, maybe?
其实是1954年,《今夜秀》第一季就开始用了。
1954 for the first season of The Tonight Show.
哦,原来如此。
Oh, okay.
早就有了。
It goes back there.
街头采访这种形式已经带来了数十亿的播放量。
And the man on the street format is used to generate billions and billions of views.
你上过西蒙·斯奎布的节目,但他也在用这种方式。
You know, you were on Simon Squibb, but he uses it.
《生活大考验》靠这个拍出了十亿播放。
School of Hard Knocks has generated a billion views doing it.
比如亚历克斯·斯滕普,他用这个做摄影内容。
Like, Alex Stemp does it for photography.
这种形式在社交媒体出现之前就存在几十年了,现在依然能带来成功。
So that format has been around for decades before social media, and it's used today to have success.
为什么呢?
Why?
因为这种结构可复制,而且已经被证明有效。
Because it's a repeatable structure that's proven to work.
这是一种讲故事的方式,所以我们上次才聊到这个。
It's a storytelling mechanism, and that's why we were talking about that last time.
它让人能够参与这种经过验证有效的形式。
It allows people to engage in this type of structure that's proven to work.
明白了。
Okay.
我们来给大伙儿拆解一下。
Let's break it down for people.
除了明显的‘街头采访’这种说法,比如街头男士或女士采访,到底有哪些关键要素让它有效?
Outside of the obvious words, person on the street, man or woman on the street, what are the components that make it work?
首先,你还是在做街头采访。
So the first one there is so, again, so you're doing man on the street.
你上去问路人:你一小时能挣多少钱?
You're approaching people asking them, well, how much do you make for an hour?
当你走上前去搭话时,本身就带着一种紧张感,因为对方根本不知道有人在拍,你会不会被拒绝?
So there's an inherent tension that is built when you're approaching somebody, because the person doesn't know that's watching, are you gonna get rejected?
你会不会被骂?
Are you gonna get yelled at?
对方会不会当场发火?
Are they gonna throw a fit?
你完全猜不到接下来会发生什么,而社交媒体上很多故事之所以成功,正是触动了人们的潜意识。
You don't know the dynamics that's gonna happen, and a lot of success in storytelling in social media is happening in the subconscious mind.
在最初的几秒钟里,因为你站在街头,主动接近陌生人,这种潜在的冲突正在发生或即将爆发。
So in those first few seconds, because you're out in the street, because you're approaching strangers, there's this inherent conflict that could arise or is arising as that interaction happens.
所以确实有紧张感。
So there's tension.
我们不知道接下来会发生什么,很多视频形式都是男生搭讪女生、女生搭讪男生,场面尴尬又别扭,像一场我们能围观的人际实验。
We don't know what's gonna happen, and there are a lot of formats where guys try to pick up girls, girls try to pick up guys, and it's awkward and it's weird and it's kind of a social human experiment that we get to watch unfold.
有些完全是随机的,有些则是事先安排好的,尤其是那些意外撞上很多名人的情景。
Some of it is really literally random and some of it is actually preprogrammed or it's been prearranged, especially the ones where they accidentally bump into so many famous.
这种事情根本不会发生。
Like, that's really not gonna happen.
大家都要明白这一点。
Just everybody needs to know that.
不好意思。
Sorry.
提前剧透一下。
Spoiler warning here.
好吧。
Okay.
所以确实存在一些紧张感。
So there's some tension.
也有些冲突。
There's some conflict.
要让这事成真,还需要什么条件?
What else do you need to have for it to work?
其中一个关键因素,是你所互动的那个人的反应。
One of the big elements is the reaction of the person that you're interacting with.
你是在和他们一起经历一段情感旅程,看他们如何回应正在展开的故事。
You're kind of going on this emotional journey with them and how they're reacting to the story that's being unfolded.
比如在你的形式里,你会问别人每小时赚多少钱,通过这个,你也在教育他们,传递我们说的‘视角转变’。
So, for example, in your format, you're asking people how much do they make an hour, and through that, you're also educating them and sharing what we call a perspective shift.
你在改变他们对能赚多少钱的看法,或者让他们换一种方式思考收入的可能性。
You're shifting their perspective on how much money they could earn or a different way of thinking about how much money they could earn.
西蒙·斯奎布也是同样的道理。
The same thing with Simon Squibb.
他的问题是:你的梦想是什么?
His is, you know, what is your dream?
他引导人们经历一次巨大的视角转变,去思考:为什么我从来没去追求这个梦想?
And he takes the people on this massive perspective shift of thinking about, well, why haven't I pursued this dream?
为什么我没有在人生、事业或生意上朝这个方向走?
Why haven't I gone in this direction with my life, my career, my business?
所以这就让那种自然的瞬间发生了——看到对方露出‘这挺有意思’的表情。
So it allows that that natural kind of moment to happen of seeing that reaction of the person being like, that's interesting.
我以前从来没这么想过。
I hadn't thought about it that way.
而且,如果你做得好,观众也会和你一起经历这段情感旅程。
And then also, if you do it correctly, the viewer is going on that emotional journey with you.
因为,再说一遍,你不仅仅是对你采访的对象进行教育。
Because, again, in your example, you're not just educating the person that you're interviewing.
你还在教观众如何去思考自己的价值,如何衡量自己的时间,以及自己所做工作的意义。
You're educating the viewer on how they can think about what is their worth, how do they value their time, the work that they do?
西蒙·斯奎布问‘你的梦想是什么?’
And Simon Squibb's, what is your dream?
这同样是引导人们换种方式去思考如何追求梦想、职业目标,以及类似的事情。
It's again, it's getting people to think differently about how they pursue their dreams, their career goals, and things of that nature.
明白了。
Okay.
你提出这个问题后,观众就会开始反思自己。
So you ask the question, and then the audience gets to reflect on themselves.
我觉得西蒙的问题特别好,因为这里面有太多机会了,比如他们会接受这个提议吗?
I think Simon's question is great because there's so many opportunities, like, will they take them up on the offer?
他们会愿意和他交谈吗?
Will they even talk to him?
为什么他们不愿意呢?
And why wouldn't they?
因为这个人可是会帮你实现梦想的。
Because here's a person who's gonna help you do your dream.
他们只需要有勇气迈出这一步就够了。
All they have to do is be brave enough to do it.
还有人会想,他们真会来吗?他是不是白花钱了?哪个疯子才会拿钱去帮别人圆梦?
And then there's the part about will they show up and did he just waste his money and what kind of crazy person gives people money to fulfill their own dreams.
但这里面其实有很多地方都做得特别到位。
There's a lot of things working really well with that.
坦白说,我最近一直琢磨着去街头做点即兴表演,想锻炼自己应对那些无法掌控的情况。
Now for full disclosure, I've been sitting around thinking I'm gonna do some street stuff because I wanna work on my improv handling situations I cannot control.
是你给了我这个题目。
You gave me the prompt.
题目就是去问别人:你一小时收多少钱?
The prompt was ask people how much do you charge an hour?
我想知道,你为啥让我问这个问题?
The question for you is why did you tell me to ask that question?
因为你的爆款视频就是讲收费时长的。
Because your most viral video is about charging for the hour.
所以这第一个蹦进我脑子的就是这个。
So that was the first thing that came to mind.
而且这个问题本身带着不少矛盾和分量。
In addition, there's a lot of conflict and weight in that question.
随便问一个人‘你一小时挣多少’,这中间天然就有一种张力。
Because just asking a random person, like, how much do you get paid an hour, like, there's an inherent conflict.
这个人会回答吗?
Like, is that person gonna answer?
你甚至能从他们的表情上看出来,他们在想:这个人干嘛问这个?
And you can even see it in their facial expressions, like, why is this person asking that question?
第二点,这个问题能让你带人经历一段旅程,教会他们如何珍视自己,不只是珍惜时间或定价多少,而是作为一个人的价值。
Number two is it gives you an amazing opportunity to take people on a journey, to teach them a lesson about valuing themselves, not just valuing their time or how much they charge, but them as an individual person.
这个问题背后承载着很大的分量,能对观众产生深远的影响。
There's a lot of weight to that specific question that can have a meaningful impact on the viewer.
我觉得这是一个很重要的区别。
And I think that that's an important distinction.
你问过,任何人都能走红吗?
You said, can anybody go viral?
为什么大多数人不会走红?
Why do most people not go viral?
为什么大多数人做社交媒体都做不成功?
Why do most people not have success with social media?
因为他们根本搞错了初衷。
It's because their purpose is all messed up.
大多数人做内容的真正目的是什么?
What is the main purpose for most people creating content?
就是想多拉点客户。
It's I want to generate more leads.
想多赚点钱。
I want to generate more revenue.
想把我的产品卖出去。
I want to sell my product.
想让他们做点什么。
I want to get them to do something.
但现实是,这种想法跟人们使用社交媒体的真正原因完全脱节。
But the reality is that's a massive disconnect of why people go to social media.
人们上社交媒体,是为了跟某个人、跟某段内容建立真实的连接。
People go to social media because they want to build a connection with a person, with a piece of content.
他们想要经历一段情感上的旅程。
They want to go on an emotional journey.
所以做内容的时候,你得把目标和观众的视角分开来看。
So in terms of creating content, you have to separate what your goals are and put yourself in the viewer.
你得想想,我到底想给这个观众带来什么样的感受。
You have to think about what is the actual effect that I wanna have on this viewer.
我希望他们感受到什么?
What do I want them to feel?
我希望他们想到什么?
What do I want them to think?
我希望他们看完之后,心里经历怎样的思考?
What do I want them to kind of process through what they're watching?
只要你这么想,成功的几率就会大大提高。
And the moment that you do that, your chances of success increase significantly.
回到你刚才的问题,为什么我们会问每小时收多少钱?
And going back to your question, well, why do we ask how much get charged an hour?
因为这是在带观众经历一段旅程。
Because that is taking people on a journey.
我们希望他们在看完这段视频后,能产生这样的感受:原来我还可以用另一种方式看待自己的价值,或者重新理解自己的工作。
We want them, at the end of that video, the effect to be like, I can see a different way that I can value myself as an individual or value my work in a different way.
这是一种非常强烈的情感。
And that's a really powerful emotion.
这是一种非常深刻的视角转变。
That's a really powerful perspective shift.
明白了。
Okay.
有几方面不一样。
Couple different things.
就像你说的,很多人确实想爆红,所以他们拍视频只是为了卖更多东西。
Like you said, I think a lot of people do wanna go viral, and they go and make content to go and sell more stuff.
我觉得你的意思是,这样用社交媒体其实不太对,因为没人是冲着看广告来的,而且你也没那么有创意,能做出一个能爆红的广告。
And I believe you're saying that that's not a great way to use social media because no one's showing up to read your ad, and you're not that creative to make an ad that goes viral.
你今天可不是害羞的日子。
You're not shy day.
你又不是FCB或者类似那样的公司。
You're not FCB or somebody like that.
但我真说不清我跟多少人聊过这个。
But I can't tell you how many people I talked to.
我相信你在为社区里的客户做项目时,也遇到过类似的难题。
I'm sure you have a similar challenge working with your clients in your community.
他们最终想做的,其实就是这个。
That's ultimately what they want to do it for.
他们就是想多拿些潜在客户。
They wanna get more leads.
那你怎么帮他们摆脱这种想法呢?
So how do you get them off that mindset?
是的。
Yeah.
这个做法其实有点反直觉。
So the way that and it is kind of counterintuitive.
很多人把社交媒体当成自己的网站,当成个人主页,当成发内容和做广告的地方。
It's it's people look at social media as their website, as their profile, as their website, their content posts, or their ads.
但没人上社交媒体是冲着看广告去的。
But again, nobody logs on to social media saying, I wanna see a great ad.
那我们该怎么办呢?
So what do we do with that?
真正有效的社交媒体运营,是让人认识你、喜欢你、信任你。
Well, social media, the true success comes from getting people to know, like, and trust you.
只要人们认识你、喜欢你、信任你,他们自然就会愿意和你进一步互动。
If people know, like, and trust you, they automatically wanna take that next step with you.
打个比方吧。
So if you think about like, here's an analogy.
比如有个陌生人突然在街上拦住你,说:嘿。
It's, like, some random stranger comes up to you on the street and say, hey.
能借我二十块吗?
Can I borrow $20?
我把钱包忘在家里了。
I left my wallet at home.
百分之九十九的人会直接拒绝,或者干脆走开。
99% of people are gonna say no or just walk past that person.
但如果你的一个好朋友,一个你认识的人,过来跟你说:嘿。
But if a good friend, somebody you know, says, hey.
我把钱包落在家里了。
I lost my wallet at home.
我得凑点钱回家。
I need money to get home.
你能借我二十块吗?
Can you lend me $20?
你肯定会借的。
Of course, you're gonna do that.
为什么?
Why?
因为你和他们建立了关系,这正是打造受众、建立关系,和单纯投广告或做付费推广之间的关键区别。
Because you have a relationship with them, and that's kind of the distinction between building an audience, building a relationship, versus just running ads or running a commercial through paid advertising.
所以当你在培养受众时,就是在经营这段关系,自然而然,人们就会愿意更进一步,这才是巨额收入的来源。
So building an audience, you cultivate that relationship, and automatically, people wanna take that next step, and that's where massive revenue comes from.
你看看那些全球最顶尖的人物、最顶级的品牌,比如凯莉·詹娜,或者MrBeast。
You look at, like, the biggest people, the biggest brands in the world, whether it's, like, Kylie Jenner or Mr.
MrBeast。
Beast.
MrBeast。
Like, Mr.
MrBeast就是个绝佳的例子。
Beast is a prime example.
他花了十年时间与观众建立关系,最终把Feastables打造成了一家价值十亿美元的公司。
He built a relationship with his audience over ten years, and then, ultimately, he built Feastables into a billion dollar brand.
人们就是想支持他。
And people wanted to support that.
他的粉丝喜欢,不是因为这产品是世界上最好的。
His fans love it, not because the product is the best product in the world.
而是因为他们想支持他本人。
It's because they wanna support them.
凯莉·詹娜也是同样的道理。
Same thing with Kylie Jenner.
她并没有花几年时间不停地发广告。
She didn't spend years and years just posting ads and ads and ads.
她是先和观众建立了关系,然后才打造出了一个十亿美元的品牌。
She built that relationship with the audience to then build a billion dollar brand.
所以现实是,如果你想在当今世界取得成功,想在社交媒体上有所成就,你就得明白,人们上网不是为了看广告,也不是为了看精美的产品展示。
So the reality is if you wanna succeed in today's world, if you wanna succeed on social media, you have to realize that people are not logging on to these platforms to find an ad, to see a great product shot.
他们不想看到你的维生素补剂或者房地产生意的图片。
They don't wanna see a shot of your vitamin supplements or your real estate business.
他们想和一段内容产生共鸣。
They want to connect with a piece of content.
他们希望感受到某种情绪。
They want to feel something.
我们今天所处的这个世界,事实是这样。
The reality is the world that we live in today.
每天有超过十亿条内容被上传到社交媒体。
There's over a billion pieces of content uploaded to social media every day.
你得想个办法脱颖而出,但关键不在于推销你的产品。
You need to find a way to stand out and know that is not about selling your product.
你需要讲一个能触动他们情感、让他们感受到你作为一个人的故事,这样才能建立信任,建立关系,最终让他们愿意和你更进一步。
You need to tell a story that connects with their emotions connects with them as a human being that will allow you to build that trust build that relationship where they ultimately want to take that next step with you.
所以再次强调,重点是通过内容、通过你讲的故事,让人了解你、喜欢你、信任你,销售自然就会来。
So again, focus on getting people to know, like, and trust you through your content, through the stories you tell, and then the sales will come in.
但我得告诉你,如果你把社交媒体主页当成网站来用,光发产品图、折扣码这类东西,迟早会一次次失败。
But I'm telling you, if you treat your social media profile like it's your website and just keep posting product shots and discount codes and things of that nature, you will ultimately fail time and time again.
好的。
Okay.
咱们继续街头采访吧。
Let's continue on man on the street.
大家注意听啊,接下来我们会穿插着对话,因为有特定的节奏。
So hopefully, can pay attention because we're weaving in and out of the conversation as there's a format.
布兰登就说,嘿。
So Brendan's like, hey.
你最有热度的那条内容,讲的是价值。
Your most viral piece of content is talking about value.
然后你当时跟我说了句话。
And then you said something to me.
我觉得你送给这个世界的一份礼物,就是帮人看清自己的真正价值。
I think your gift to the world is to help people understand their real value.
所以你才问我那个问题。
That's why you gave me that question.
我立刻就反驳你,说我从不这么做。
My pushback to you immediately was, I don't do that.
我不希望人们按小时收费。
I don't want people to charge hourly.
那我干嘛要问他这个问题?
So why would I ask him that question?
你没明说,但我感觉你就是这个意思。
You didn't say this, but I felt like you said it.
就是闭嘴吧。
Like, shut up.
照我说的去做就行了。
Just do what I told you to do.
我当时就说,好吧。
I'm like, okay.
好吧。
Okay.
网友们还挺惊讶的,因为他们先在YouTube上看了那集,几个月后又在Instagram上看到这些视频,心想:他真干成了。
And the Internet was a little bit surprised because they watched that episode on YouTube, and then they see these these videos months later on Instagram, like, did it.
他确实做到了。
He did it.
他说到做到。
He followed through.
我就想,我这个人说话算话。
I'm like, I'm a person of my word.
就像个好学生一样,人家说什么我就照做。
And like a good student, I just do what I'm told.
我也没想着去改那个说法,很多人在这点上都犯错。
I didn't try to change the phrase, which is a mistake a lot of people make.
你请了教练,或者找了个懂行的人帮你,结果拿了建议却不照着做,那不等于白费劲吗?
You don't have a coach or somebody who understands this space really well and then only to get their help and then spit on it by not doing it.
所以我照做了。
So I did it.
我们发了几段视频,我特别享受这个过程。
And we posted a couple of videos, and I I enjoyed it very much.
我觉得这事儿准成,结果还真火了。
I felt like it was gonna do well, and it did really well.
最让人意外的是这一条。
Here's the shocker one.
这条最能引起共鸣,因为我就想着,嘿。
The one that it would talk you more because I'm like, hey.
我在做这么一件事。
I'm doing this thing.
要不咱们试试?
Let's try it.
我们都挺别扭的,毕竟彼此太熟了,不想显得太怪,但还是硬着头皮做了。
And we're both, like, super weird about it because we know each other and try to not to be all weird, and we do it.
如果我没记错的话,接下来这部分,别让事实妨碍了故事的精彩。
Now if I remember the story correctly, and I'm gonna say this part, don't let facts get in the way of a good story.
所以,德里戈,你别插嘴。
So, Drigo, shut up.
我们就按我说的方式来讲这个故事。
We're just gonna tell the story the way I'm gonna tell it.
我讲法是,德里戈把剪辑发给我。
And the way I tell it is Drigo sends me the cut.
他说:我觉得这个剪辑不太行。
He goes, I don't think it's a good cut.
你打算怎么处理这个?
Do you wanna do with this?
我就说:发出去吧。
I'm like, post it.
谁知道呢?
Who knows?
这是我们在街头采访里表现最好的一个。
That is our highest performing man in the street.
我上次看的时候,播放量已经超过八十万了。
I think the last time I checked, it was over 800,000 views.
我觉得那视频其实挺一般的。
I don't even think it was good.
底下评论五花八门,全在聊他的裤子、传销骗局,各种稀奇古怪的玩意儿。
And there's so many different weird comments to this about his pants, pyramid schemes, and all kinds of weird stuff.
这就是人类反应的不可预测性,而Taki对此特别看得开。
These are the unpredictable responses of humans, and Taki has such a great sense of humor about it.
他根本不在乎。
He don't care either.
我们就是发出去了,没多想。
We just put it out there.
那你觉得为啥这视频能火呢?
So why do you think that worked?
我觉得首先,你当时那种尴尬感,镜头前其实很明显,反而制造出了张力。
Well, I think that first off, the awkwardness that you felt probably came off on screen, and that creates tension.
你就会说,哦。
You're like, Oh.
看看这尴尬劲儿。
Look at awkwardness.
对,尴尬感制造了张力,让人忍不住想,这到底发生啥了?
Yeah, the awkwardness creates tension, and it creates, like, what is happening here?
这故事到底在讲什么?
What is this story?
接下来会发生什么?
What's unfolding?
不过我也想知道,他当时是怎么回应的?
But also, I think, what was his response?
我记得看了之后,他的反应真让人挺受触动的。
Because I remember seeing it, and it was a pretty eye opening response.
我觉得塔基当时带来了一个很大的视角转变,他一向如此,因为他真的很擅长表达。
I think that there there was a big perspective shift that Taki presented, which he always does because he's a great communicator.
但我认为,关键还是他看待按小时收费的那种视角转变。
But I think it was, again, that perspective shift of how he views charging per hour was the other element of it.
那种尴尬和紧张,还有你提到的裤子,其实都是在打破常规。
But I think that that awkwardness, that tension, and also, like, you say the pants, like, that's a pattern interrupt.
人们现在的穿着方式都不一样了。
It's like people are dressing differently.
他们在公开谈论钱的问题。
They're having this conversation about money.
这些因素都会产生影响。
Like, those variables come into play.
但有意思的是,我觉得人类其实没那么难预测。
But the interesting thing is, like, I don't know that humans are that unpredictable.
我觉得他们还挺有规律的。
I think they are kinda predictable.
咬一口?
A bite?
你这话是什么意思?
What do you mean?
说白了,街头采访之所以有效,就是这个原因。
Well, again, it's the reason man on the street works.
我过去二十年做社交媒体,看的就是这些反复有效的结构和沟通模式,它们一次又一次地管用。
So, like, the way that I look at social media is and spent the past twenty years doing it is there's these repeatable structures, these repeatable patterns of how you communicate that work time and time again.
街头采访只是其中之一,我可不是让你去搞街头采访。
Man on the street is just one of them, and I'm not saying to go do man on the street.
我试过街头采访。
I tried man on the street.
对吧?
Right?
但我发现这根本不适合我。
I was like, it's not the right fit for me
因为我觉得
because I
没聊过
Didn't talk
上次上节目时?
about this last time on air?
对。
Yeah.
确实聊过。
We did.
我觉得是这样。
I think so.
我还会再试一次。
I'll do it again.
对,我把自己累垮了,因为我比较内向。
Yeah, I burned myself out because I'm introvert.
像我在街上随便拦住陌生人聊天,这让我挺不自在的。
Like, me stopping random people on the street is not a very comfortable thing.
而且做这个得花两到两个半小时,因为你得找很多人,才能碰到几个合适的。
And after doing it for, like, two, two and a half hours because you have to go through a lot of people to get the good ones.
不是每个你拦住的人都愿意配合。
It's not like every person you stop works.
等等,先停一下。
Well, pause.
我们就停在这儿吧。
Let's pause right there.
我们俩都是内向的人。
We're both introverts.
也许我算是个中间型的。
Maybe I'm an amber ambivert.
我不太确定。
I'm not sure.
我做过两次性格测试。
I've been tested twice.
我是个内向的人。
I'm an introvert.
你做过测试吗?
Have you been tested?
做过的。
Yes.
你明显是个内向的人。
You're clearly an introvert.
对。
Yes.
明白了。
Okay.
这挺有意思的,因为你说过,克里斯,我会告诉你该怎么做,但你别真去做。
So it's kind of interesting because you kinda said, Chris, I'll tell you what to do, but don't do it.
这对你没用,你也不会喜欢。
It won't work for you and you won't like it.
我就说,不行。
I'm like, no.
这招管用。
It will work.
咱们走着瞧吧。
We'll see what happens.
我一定会把这事做成,因为我认准了这件事。
I'm a make this work because I'm committed to this.
我们录的每一个视频都发了。
Every video we've recorded, we've posted.
一个都没落下。
Every single one.
其实我们录得不多,因为积了不少素材。
That means we haven't recorded that many because we have a little backlog.
还有三四期没放,但我很享受这个过程。
There's, like, three or four more that we're gonna release, but I enjoy it a lot.
那到底是什么让你觉得这么难受?
So what was it about it that just was so painful for you?
而且你当时所处的环境也不一样。
Well, you also did it in a different environment.
我不清楚具体情况,但我可是走上伦敦街头去做的。
I don't know what it was like, but I went on the streets of London.
嗯,是这样。
Okay.
首先,伦敦的人大多不愿意坐在那儿跟你聊天,你还得到处跑。
First off, London, most people don't wanna, like, sit there and talk to you, and then you're running around.
我觉得你做这件事的时候是在参加一个会议吧。
I think you were at a conference when you did it.
对,我当时就是在会议现场。
Yes, I was.
没错。
Yeah.
所以
So
我努力让自己更容易成功,而不是更容易失败。
I tried to set myself up for success, not for failure.
这很聪明。
Which is smart.
我在VidCon做的。
I did at VidCon.
对。
Yeah.
那里的人本来就习惯面对镜头。
People were used to be on camera.
对。
Yeah.
而且很多人可能本来就认识你。
And probably a lot of people knew you too.
两者都是。
Both.
对。
Yeah.
有可能。
Possibly.
是的。
Yeah.
但对我来说,就是到处跑,然后面对拒绝,这当然不开心,更麻烦的是,还遇到很多不合适的人,根本讲不出好故事,或者根本不按流程来。
But it was just, for me, running around and then trying to get the rejections are obviously not fun, but then also, you get a lot of duds of, like, people that just don't have a good story, or don't kind of follow the process.
你是说
You mean
一个陌生人没按你心里想的那样做?
a random stranger didn't do what you wanted them to do in your mind?
不是,是当你问他们问题的时候,他们答应了。
No, it's more so that you ask them a question, they say yes.
展开剩余字幕(还有 480 条)
他们不会故意添油加醋。
They don't, like, embellish.
他们真的不会。
They don't Yeah.
讲出一个完整的故事。
Tell a story.
这样的人很难找。
Like, those people are difficult to find.
因为据我所知,就连西蒙的团队,也要面谈六十个人,最后只能挑出四五个。
Because I hear, even with Simon's team, like, they'll go and interview 60, and they'll get, like, four or five out of it.
成功率其实没那么高。
Like, the hit rate's not super high.
真的吗。
Wow.
明白了。
Okay.
这有点不一样。
This is a little bit different.
我现在也很好奇,因为美国人在全球的口碑并不好,尤其是英国人眼里。
Now I'm also curious because Americans don't have a sterling reputation around the world, maybe even especially from the Brits.
一个美国人走过来跟我搭话,各种社交媒体上还冲我刷屏。
Here's an American walking up to me, blah blah blah, social media that get on my face.
你觉得这也是原因之一吗?
Do you think that's part of it?
这确实有可能,但伦敦本来就是各种背景的人聚集的地方。
It definitely can be, but London's also a hotbed of different people.
那里可不全是英国人。
It wasn't all British people.
不过,我肯定这部分也有影响,但你想想,平时陌生人突然找上你,都是怎么回事?
But, yeah, I'm sure there's some aspect to that, but, like, just think about when random people approach you.
就是莫名其妙地过来问你:你干嘛呢?
It's just like, what are you doing?
你懂的吧。
You know?
因为你根本不知道,而这正是紧张感的来源——你心里会想,这个人接近我到底是什么目的?
Like, because you don't and that's a part of the tension is you're like, what is the intention here of this person approaching me?
你真的无从得知。
You don't know that.
但回到可预测性这一点上,街上的路人只是其中一种情况。
But getting back to kind of the the predictability nature of it is, like, again, man on the street is just one.
我和我的团队花了大约一万五千个小时,分析这些沟通模式的结构。
We my team and I have analyzed we spent, like, fifteen thousand hours analyzing these communication pattern structures.
我们管它们叫‘模式’,已经识别出了五百多种。
We call them formats, and we've identified over 500 of them.
可供选择的模式多得是。
So there's so many to choose from.
但我认为人类行为之所以可预测,首先是因为讲故事这件事。
But why I think that humans are predictable in nature is, like, first off, like, telling stories.
人类讲的第一个故事,发生在五万年前的篝火旁。
The first story ever told was fifty thousand years ago around a campfire.
最初的故事可不是童话,它们的根本目的是生存。
Now stories started out as a way to they weren't fairy tales.
教人识别危险、如何狩猎、怎样互相保护,诸如此类的实际生存经验。
They're about they're all about survival, what to fear, how to hunt, you know, how to protect each other, things of that nature.
这些故事和叙事结构,塑造了我们今天所见的一切。
And these stories and and and structures have built everything that we see around us today.
人类的DNA里就刻着对叙事结构的偏好——有开头、有发展、有结尾,有张力也有释放。
Is it's ingrained in our DNA to connect with a structure that has a beginning, middle, and an end to it, that has tension and release of tension up and down and things of that nature.
所以回到你最初的问题,爆款不是谁都能做到的。
So to your original point, like, virality is not anybody can do it.
但如果你能掌握这些模式,顺应人性、尊重历史,用这些沟通结构来优化表达,你的内容脱颖而出的概率能提升百倍。
Well, if you follow the patterns, if you follow human behavior, human history, and you use these patterns and structures of how you communicate to your advantage, it increases your chances of breaking through by a 100 x.
所以归根结底,核心还是故事。
So at the heart of this is stories.
我们都深信故事的力量,以及讲述故事的价值。
We're both big believers in story and the power of storytelling.
咱们来给大家讲个故事吧。
Let's tell people a story.
我们现在跟大家讲的是哲学和观察,但未必是故事。
We're telling people philosophy right now and observations, but not necessarily story.
最近在我们这里举办的一场活动中,有人给了我们一个提问,是Michelle小姐,他问:你是怎么走到今天的?
One thing that I've discovered recently during one of our events here in this space was a prompt that somebody gave us, miss Michelle, and he said, how did you get here?
这就是故事的结尾,也是我走到今天的原因。
That's the end of the story, and that's how I got here.
我想给你们一点时间想想,然后我再把整个故事讲出来。
So I want I'm gonna give you some time to think about it, and then I'm gonna tell the story.
这样可以吗?
Is that okay?
当然可以。
Yeah.
我先来,然后你接着说,这就是我怎么走到今天的。
I'll start first, and then you say, that's how I got here.
好。
Okay.
故事就到这里了。
That's end of the story.
明白吗?
Okay?
人们往往会紧张,因为不清楚故事的结局,结果东拉西扯。
So people stress out a little bit because they don't know where the story ends, and so they meander.
讲得七零八落,也就没那么吸引人了。
They go all over the place, and it becomes not so interesting.
但如果你知道故事怎么收尾,就会轻松很多。
But if you know how the story ends, then it's easier.
下面就是我怎么走到今天的。
So here's how I got here.
大家都不知道,其实我就在隔壁楼里。
People don't know this, but I'm in the building next door.
面积有五千平方英尺。
It's 5,000 square feet.
刚拿下那个空间没多久,生意就火得不得了,地方根本不够用了。
And shortly after acquiring that space, we're business is going like gangbusters, so we're outgrowing the space.
我们不得不把网线从走廊一路拉过去,还老是跳闸,因为机器太多,屋里热得不行。
So much so that we're running Ethernet cables down the hallway, and we're constantly tripping the breaker because we're using so many machines, and it's hot in that space.
有一天我正走在外面,突然发现我们所在的这栋楼挂出了出售的牌子。
And all of a sudden, one day, I'm walking outside, and I see there's a sign on this building that we're in, and it says for sale.
我老婆立刻行动起来,说咱们必须把这栋楼买下来。
So my wife immediately jumped on it and said, we have to acquire this building.
那个地方已经装不下我们了。
We're outgrowing that space.
这个非拿下不可。
We need to get this.
我当时就说,好吧。
And I was like, okay.
听起来不错。
Sounds good.
那地方原本是他们停西蒙森家的奔驰车做保养的地方,弄好了再运到威尔夏大道的主展厅。
And this was a space where they parked w I Simonson's Mercedes, their their cars, like, to be detailed and then brought over to their main showroom on Wilshire.
于是我们开始竞标,想买下这个场地。
And so we get into a bidding war to acquire this space.
我老婆情绪一上来,直接多出了一百万美元报价。
And my wife, just being super emotional, just overbids on this building by half $1,000,000.
我说:宝贝,这事你让我来处理吧。
I'm like, babe, let me do that part.
她却说:我知道你心里想要,但你肯定只想出最低价。
And she's like, I know you need it.
但我向你保证,我这么做是为了保护你,免得你事后后悔难过。
I know you're gonna try, like, do it the bare amount, but I promise you, I'm doing this to protect you so you will not be heartbroken.
结果呢,我们还真拿到了这个场地。
Lo and behold, we have this space.
我们花了一年时间装修,投入了一百多万美元,最后终于搬了进来。
We spent a year renovating it, a million dollars plus to renovate it, and we eventually move in.
但那是2007年的事了。
But this is 2007.
所以我们从那个地方搬到了这里。
So we moved from that space into this space.
这么大的空间,我们人却没几个。
There's not that many of us for a space of this size.
这个场地大概有一万三千平方英尺。
This space is about 13,000 square feet.
我们实际用的空间比原本需要的多了一倍多。
So we a little bit more than doubled the square footage of what we needed.
这里感觉特别开阔,而那边呢,又挤又紧张。
It felt vast versus over there was, like, tight and high energy.
这里空间大得不得了。
Here, it's, like, really big.
2008年金融危机爆发,我当时就想,我们买房是不是赶上了最高点,现在只能眼睁睁看着价值一路下滑。
Then the financial meltdown happens in 2008, and I think to myself, I think we bought this at the height of the market, and now we're paying for it all the way down.
我们当然挺过来了。
We have obviously survived.
有时候,我还会做噩梦,梦见自己买下了一个地方,结果不得不亏本甩卖。
And there are sometimes, I think, residual memories where I have nightmares about acquiring a space that I have to then sell at a massive loss.
这种情绪时不时就会在梦里冒出来,缠着我不放。
And so that little emotion that I have continues to haunt me from time to time on my dreams.
这就是我为什么会在这里的原因。
That's how I wound up here.
明白了。
Okay.
那我来说说我怎么走到这一步的。
So here's how I got here.
好的。
Okay.
在你开始之前,对这个故事有没有什么具体的分析、想法或者反思?
Before you do that, any breakdown, any thoughts, or reflections of that story?
我觉得这个开头还需要更有吸引力。
So I think that the hook needs to be stronger.
你确实已经设了一个开头。
So you have the hook in it.
大致是这样的:我一生中最重要的一个财务决定,正好发生在美國歷史上最嚴重的金融危機爆發前幾天。
It's something along the lines of the biggest financial decision I've ever made in my life happened days before one of the biggest financial meltdowns in American history.
这种强烈的对比。
The contrast.
对,就是这种对比,还有它背后的分量。
Yeah, the contrast, and the weight of it.
你想想,天啊,你刚做出这么重大的财务决定,结果整个美国就崩盘了。
You know, the, like, oh my god, you made this massive financial decision, and then America melts down.
听完这个故事后,你就能写出吸引人的标题和开篇了。
So after hearing the story, you can write the headline, the hook to draw people in.
我觉得最好的方式是先问自己:这个故事最想表达的是什么?我甚至建议再往前一步,想想你希望观众产生什么样的感受。
I think that's always a great way to do it is is what is the story you wanted well, I would even take a step back further is think about what is the effect that you wanna have on the viewer.
你希望他们感受到什么?
What do you want them to feel?
然后围绕这种感受来构建整个故事。
And then you design the story around that.
因为很多时候,我们在讲故事或制作内容时,只顾着自己想说什么、想传达什么,却忽略了屏幕另一端的人会怎么体验这一切。
Because, again, so many times when we're telling a story or creating a piece of content, we're just so focused on us and what we wanna convey, what we wanna say versus how is somebody on the other side of the screen going to experience this.
观众会有什么样的感受?
Like, what are they gonna feel?
他们会说什么?
What are they gonna say?
他们会怎么想?
What do they think?
如果让他们留言,他们会写些什么?
If they were to write a comment, what would that comment say?
是什么让他们愿意分享给朋友?
What would get them to share it with their friends?
只要你每次发帖都能做这样的转变——虽然需要一些练习,但每做一次,你就在锻炼这种能力,这会彻底改变你今后创作内容的方式。
And the moment that you can make that shift with each post, and it's gonna take some practice, but each time you do that, you're gonna start building that muscle, and it's gonna completely change your perspective on how you create content going forward.
明白了。
Okay.
这个分析我很喜欢。
I like that breakdown.
所以我们先从情绪入手。
So we start with emotion.
顺便说一句,我也是这么想的。
I I feel the exact same way too, by the way.
我写帖子的时候,不是像现在这样即兴拍摄,而是先从情绪开始。
When I write a post, not freestyling it on camera like this, I start with emotion.
我此刻感受到的是什么?
What is it I'm feeling?
我希望他们感受到什么?
What is it that I want them to feel?
我会用心去组织语言和故事,希望他们也能有同样的感受。
And I craft the words in the story so that they hopefully feel the same way.
很多时候,我的目标就是让人哭出来。
A lot of times my intention is to make people cry.
所以我写故事的时候就想:我希望你能体会到我正在经历的痛苦,因为我真的感受到了那种痛。
So I'm like, I'm writing stories like, I want you to feel the pain of whatever it is I'm going through because I felt that pain myself.
很多时候,人们就是这样做的。
And oftentimes that's what they do.
他们会在评论里说:你简直就是在描述我的生活和我的故事,天哪,谢谢你分享这些。
And they'll tell me in the comments, I feel like you're just describing my life and my story and like, my god, thank you for sharing that.
因为知道有人也经历过同样的事,我就没那么孤单了,心里也多了很多希望。
I feel so less alone in the world because someone else has experienced that and gives me a lot of hope.
你认识克雷格·克莱门茨吗?
Do you know Craig Clements?
不认识。
No.
克雷格是我一个很好的朋友。
So Craig, he's a good friend.
他创办了一家公司叫Golden Hippo,主要做医生和名人相关的消费品,公司通过社交媒体广告卖出了超过20亿美元的产品。
He founded a company called Golden Hippo, and they basically create consumer products around doctors and celebrities and things of that nature, and he's his company has sold over $2,000,000,000 worth of products through social media ads.
他是世界上最好的文案写手之一,说过类似的话。
One of the best copywriters in the world, and he says something similar.
他说,只要你能走进客户的内心,理解他们最根本的困扰——那种半夜惊醒他们的事,一旦你能比他们自己说得还清楚地表达出这个问题,你就能赢得他们的信任,他们就会跟着你走完你为他们准备的解决方案之路。
He says, the minute that you can get into your customer's head and understand their core problem, the thing that wakes them up in the middle of the night, and once you understand that and you can articulate their problem to them better than they could articulate it to themselves, you win their trust, and then they'll follow you down that journey with the solution that you wanna sell them.
这跟你刚才说的其实很像,就是那种让人感觉‘我也有过这种体验’‘我懂’‘我经历过’的共鸣。
So it's a very similar thing to what you're saying, that experience of people feeling that or saying, I've felt that, or I feel that way, or I've been through that.
这种情感连接,真的特别有力量。
That's such a powerful, powerful emotion in a way to connect.
我只是希望观众能明白,你刚才说的这种情感连接——让人觉得‘我也有同感’‘我经历过类似的事’——和发一个维生素补充剂加20%折扣码的帖子,完全是两码事。
And I just want the audience to kind of understand, like, what you just said of, like, creating that connection of, like, people saying, I feel that way, or I've been through that experience compared to posting a product of a vitamin supplement with a 20% coupon code on it.
那Roll这部分,人们到底该怎么做呢?
It's like, what are people supposed to do with Roll
就是这个部分。
the part there.
这完全不一样。
It's completely different.
没错。
Right.
这真的完全不一样。
It's completely different.
所以我做任何事,都会从‘钩子’的角度去思考。
So, everything I do is I perceive it through a hook.
我就是习惯用这种方式来看待一切。
I just kind of view everything that way.
我觉得你啊
I think You're
是个抓人眼球的高手。
a hooker.
对。
Yeah.
我就是个抓人眼球的高手。
I'm a hooker.
你就直说吧。
Just say it.
我就是个抓人眼球的高手。
I'm a hooker.
你也是。
You are.
这不就对了。
There you go.
我其实一直在想,到底是什么东西一下子就能抓住人?
I'm kind of looking at, like, what is the thing that just pops out?
什么是最能一眼吸引人的地方?
What is the thing that jumps out?
我平时都是凭直觉这么做,不知不觉就注意到了。但有个特别棒的练习,我写在我的《钩子书》里——你可以想象自己站在一个报刊亭前,周围全是杂志和报纸。
Like, I've just done it so intuitively that I kinda pick up on it, but, like, here's an amazing exercise, and I put it in my hookpoint book, like, that you can do is if you just imagine you're standing in front of a magazine stand, and you have all these magazines and newspapers in front.
甚至你可以真的去一趟巴诺书店这类还卖杂志的地方,看看那些封面标题,想想:如果只能用三到五个词,或者就一个标题,你会怎么写,才能让人从这么多刊物里挑中这一本,拿起来读?
And then it's even a great exercise just to go to a Barnes and Noble or someplace that still sells magazines, and you can look at it and just look at the titles and just think about if I only got, like, three to five words or just one headline, what would I say to get that person to pick up that magazine, that newspaper, and read it over all of the other ones out there?
当你强迫自己用这种方式思考时,就能慢慢看清,这个故事里最有力、最突出的那个点到底是什么。
And when you kind of constrict yourself to kind of thinking in that way, it allows you to kind of start looking at, like, what is the most impactful thing out of that story that stands out?
现在我们手头最厉害的工具,就是人工智能。
Now the beauty of the tools that we have available to us today is AI.
你可以把内容丢进ChatGPT,随便 brainstorm,我建议你至少生成五六十条,甚至一百条。
You can throw stuff in the chat GPT and just, like, brainstorm and, like I recommend is, like, go through 50, a 100 of these.
别只憋出五个点子就完事了。
Don't just, like, come up with five ideas.
但你得明白,我们现在生活在一个信息极度饱和的世界里。
But you've gotta kind of understand that we live in this world that is so saturated.
社交媒体太吵了,你必须打破常规。
It's so noisy with social media that you have to break the pattern.
你不仅要打破其他内容的模式,还得跳出所有关于你即将谈论话题的陈旧叙事。
You have to break the pattern of all the other content, but also have to break the pattern of every story that's already been told about what you're about to talk about.
因为事实就是,几乎所有东西都被人做过了。
Because the reality is everything's been done before.
所谓原创性,其实没那么重要,关键不在于创造全新的东西。
The originality is is overrated in terms of creating something new.
真正让你脱颖而出的,是你对它的独特解读、你讲的故事,以及你表达的方式。
Now your spin on it, your story about it, and the way you convey it, that's where you can create the hook and stand out.
就拿你刚才讲的那个故事来说,它可能已经被讲过上千遍了,但你如何调整、如何赋予它新的语境,这才是关键。
Like, the story that you just told, I mean, has been told a thousand times, but your version of it, of how you tweak it, how you contextualize it can help stand out.
明白。
K.
我再讲一个。
I'll do one more.
如果你真想学怎么抓住别人的注意力,别
I believe if you really wanna learn how people grab people's attention, don't
光
just
去巴诺书店了。
go to Barnes and Noble.
首先,那地方快过时了。
First of all, it's a dying breed.
去任何一家超市的结账区看看就行。
Just go to any grocery store where you're gonna go check out.
留意收银台旁边那些杂志。
Look at the magazines that are right by the checkout.
它们只有三秒钟时间吸引你,让你冲动购买。
They have three seconds to grab your attention and make you impulse buy.
我们说的是那种《询问我们周刊》之类的小报,就是这类东西。
We're talking about the inquire us weekly, the tabloids, those kinds of things.
因为它们就是冲着你来的,专门吸引你注意。
Cause they're going to just grab at you.
它们可卖力了,因为它们知道就靠这一招。
They work really hard because they know that's it.
总不能真有人出门说,‘我的全部人生就证明了这本杂志的冲动购买力吧?’
Cause no one's going out there like, all of me proves this magazine impulse.
对吧?
Right?
所以你可以把这些杂志当成‘秘密情人’来看。
So you can probably look at those like secret lover.
这个人突然现身了。
This person comes out.
有人密谋要除掉这个人。
Cabal to kill this person.
你是不是在想:什么?
And you're like, what?
这些内容总是刻意搞得挺夸张的,但你仔细看看,其实能学到不少东西。
They're always designed to really they're a little sensational, but you can probably learn a lot by just looking at those.
对吧?
Right?
广告牌也是。
Billboards too.
没错。
Yeah.
广告牌。
Billboards.
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
因为他们确实有那种
Because they they have that
独特的视角。
mini perspective.
关键是,社交媒体上的内容需要更细腻的处理方式。
Thing is it has to be done a little bit more nuanced as social media.
如果现在有数十亿个数据点免费摆在我们面前,你只要留心观察,就能看出哪些内容有效、哪些无效,以及背后的原因。
Like, I mean, if there's billions of data points available to us for free, you just have to pay attention to them, and it'll show you the pattern of what works and what doesn't and why.
所以,只要是在那些注意力窗口极小的地方,一旦有东西抓住了你的注意,就停下来好好分析,看看能学到什么,再反过来拆解它的结构?
So anywhere where they have a very small window to grab your attention, if something grabs your attention, stop, pay attention to that, and see what you can learn from it, and reverse engineer the structure?
没错。
Yes.
但真正的学习来自于对比那些成功突围的内容和那些没成功的,这才是社交媒体真正厉害的地方。
However, the real kind of learning comes when you compare something that has broken through with the thing that hasn't broken through, and that's the power of where social media can.
就像我们之前聊的街头采访,我们观察所有常见的沟通模式和形式时,发现大多数人只关注赢家——那些获得数百万播放的内容,但真正有价值的洞察,其实是对比那些没火起来的内容。
So, like, we were talking about man on the street, and we do this with all of the the the communication patterns and formats that we find is most people just pay attention to the winners, the ones that generate millions and millions of views, but the real learnings are from when you compare it to the ones that don't break through.
比如说到街头采访,我们刚才一直在聊这个,就拿街头采访来说。
So, for example, with man on the street, which we're talking a lot about, we'll take man on the street.
我们已经做了九个相关的研究项目。
We've done, like, nine research projects of it.
我们做过西蒙·斯奎布的内容。
We've done Simon Squibb.
我们做过《人生课堂》的内容。
We've done school of hard knocks.
我们做过亚历克斯·斯坦普的内容。
We've done Alex Stemp.
我们做过《马克健身》的内容。
We've done body by Mark.
我们的做法是,挑出二十个表现突出的账号,就是那些能爆火、播放量上百万、上千万的。
What we'll do is we'll take 20 of the high performers, the ones that break through, generate millions, tens
上千万的
of millions
播放量的顶尖案例和那些表现平平、播放量只有几十万甚至更少的视频做对比分析。
of views, outliers, and then we cross analyze it against the ones that don't break through, that are the hundreds of thousands of views or less.
我们真的会坐下来,花上十五到二十个小时做这件事,因为我们不是只看一个爆款或一个普通视频,而是把所有爆款视频都仔细看完,然后提出假设——比如,觉得这些视频成功是因为他们与人互动的方式、提问的技巧,或者具体问了什么问题。
And we literally sit there, and we take about fifteen to twenty hours to do this, because we don't just look at one high performer or one low performer, but we literally watch all the high performers, then we make hypotheses of, like, think that these are performing because of the way that he approaches the person or the way that he asks the question or the question that he asks.
接着我们再看,这些特点在那些低播放量的视频里有没有出现。
And then we see, does it show up in those low performers?
如果低播放量的视频里也有同样的特点,那说明这并不是决定成功的关键因素。
If it shows up in that low performer, then that's not the thing that's driving the success.
你得把这种干扰项排除掉。
You have to knock it out.
然后你得回头重新审视。
And you have to go back and look.
那些高播放量视频里有哪些元素,是低表现视频里完全没有的?
Well, what are the elements there that show up in those high performers that don't show up in the ones that underperform?
真正的成功线索就藏在这里,而99%的人根本不会做这一步——他们只会看看‘街头采访’或者社交媒体上的成功案例,然后说:哦,我懂他们是怎么做的了。
That's where success that's where the clues come into play, and that's the step that 99% of people don't do is they'll look at man on the street or other successful people on social media, and they go, oh, I see what they're doing.
他们只会随便找个路人搭话,然后采访一下。
They're just gonna go approach random stranger on the street and interview them.
我也可以这么做。
I can do that.
他们去做了,但根本没用。
They go do it, and it doesn't work.
因为他们没去研究那些成功内容背后的沟通模式,没去分析整个故事是如何展开的,以及哪些关键要素促成了成功。所以人们才觉得走红靠运气,像中彩票一样,其实根本不是。
And it's because they haven't studied the communication patterns of how all the story unfolds and all those elements that causes success, and that's where virality feels like it's luck, like it's playing the lottery, but it's not.
那些线索其实就摆在你面前,等着你去发现。
They're they're literally the clues are right there for you to discover.
好的。
Alright.
该你来讲讲你的故事了。
It's your turn to tell the story.
我的故事?
My story?
是的
Yeah.
那我怎么走到这一步的呢?
So here's how I got here?
是的
Yeah.
那我怎么走到这一步的呢?
So here's how I got here.
小时候,我特别喜欢看电影。
As a young kid, I loved movies.
你有没有问过孩子,长大以后想做什么?
You know when you ask kids, like, what do you wanna be when you grow up?
我每次看完一部电影,答案就不一样了。
My answer would change every time I watch movies.
要是看的是《夺宝奇兵》,我就想当考古学家。
So if it was a movie about Indiana Jones, well, I wanna be an archaeologist.
如果是部侦探片,我就想当侦探。
If it's a movie about a detective, I wanna be a detective.
长大后到了该上大学的时候,我想去学电影。
When I grew up and it was time to go to college, I wanted to go to film school.
我想学会拍电影,还想当制片人。
I wanna learn how to make movies, and I wanted to produce them.
于是我进了电影学院,全身心投入到讲故事的各种方法里。
So I went to film school and got immersed in everything about how to tell stories.
但跟所有上电影学院的人一样,你接下来该干嘛?
But like everybody else who goes to film school, what do you do?
你搬去洛杉矶,追逐这个梦想。
You move to LA, and you pursue this dream.
但你得从最底层做起。
But you start at the bottom.
你得去泡咖啡。
You're making coffee.
你得跑腿送快递、复印文件,都是这类活儿。
You're making deliveries, copies, things of that nature.
一点儿都不酷。
Not the sexiest work.
刚开始的时候,真让人兴奋。
And in the beginning, it's amazing.
我心想:我居然在好莱坞了。
You're like, I'm in Hollywood.
我的第一份工作是在派拉蒙片场,那时候我特别激动。
I'm on a I was my first job was on the Paramount lot.
我到处逛,看着那些摄影棚,感觉像在做梦。
You're like, oh my god, I can walk around the Paramount lot, see the sound stages, things of that nature.
但干了几个月的端咖啡、跑腿之后,我就撑不住了。
But after a few months of making coffee and deliveries and things of that nature, I was like, I can't do this anymore.
我得想办法脱颖而出。
I need to stand out.
我得去跟制片人、演员和导演们建立联系。
Like, I need to connect with producers and actors and directors.
但问题是,当他们问我为什么来洛杉矶时,我就说:我想拍电影。
But the problem was when they asked me why did I move to LA, I was at well, I wanna be I wanna produce movies.
我特别爱电影。
I love movies.
结果一看,大家的眼神就飘了,因为像我这样怀揣同样梦想的人,多得数不清。
And I could see everybody's eyes glaze over because I was just one of a million with the same pipe dream.
于是我退后一步,心想:我得找到属于自己的独特亮点,那个能让我脱颖而出的关键。
So I took a step back, and I said, you know, I have to find my unique hookpoint, the hook that's gonna get me to stand out.
我注意到一个特别有意思的现象:每部电影拍完,办公室里都会弥漫着一股焦虑和压力。
And one of the fascinating things that I saw is every time we finished a movie, there'd be a sense of anxiety and stress that would come over the office.
为什么呢?
Why?
因为我们把几千万美元押在了一部片子上。
Because we were investing tens of millions of dollars into a single piece of content.
而我们只有几个月的时间,让全球数亿人知道这部作品,它才算成功。
And then we only had months for hundreds of millions of people around the world to know about this single piece of content in order for it to be successful.
你没有几年、几十年的时间去慢慢打造这个品牌。
You don't have years or decades to build this brand.
那是2006年2月左右的事。
And this was around 02/2006.
那时候,社交媒体刚开始兴起。
So social media was starting to come on the scene.
于是我想到,他们正面临一个巨大的需求和痛点——必须让这些电影被大众看到。
So I said, they have this big need and this big pain point that they need to get these movies out there.
他们需要上亿、甚至十几亿人知道这些电影。
They need millions, hundreds of millions of people to know about them.
当时刚出现了一个叫YouTube的新平台,有些人就在自己卧室里拍内容,居然能拿到几千万的播放量。
And there's this new thing called YouTube that just started, and there's these people in their bedrooms generating tens of millions of views on their content.
那我们为什么不直接去找这些人,问问他们愿不愿意采访电影明星,或者参与宣传呢?
Well, why don't we go and ask them if they wanna interview a movie star or participate in the campaign?
于是我向制片厂的负责人提了这个想法,他说我疯了。
So I pitched the head of the studio, and he said, you're crazy.
这根本行不通。
This isn't gonna work.
我就说,反正也不会花我们一分钱。
And I said, well, it's not gonna cost us anything.
我免费干。
I'll do it for free.
他听了就说,行吧。
He's like, okay.
你可以试试,但要是搞砸了,你以后就得多年都泡在端咖啡、跑腿上,我再也不信你了。
You can do that, but if you fail, you're gonna be stuck making coffee and deliveries for for years to come because I won't ever trust you again.
我就一头扎进去了,天天熬到凌晨三点,不停地给那些创作者发私信。
So I just went into that process, and I just spent you know, I was up till three in the morning, like, DMing these YouTubers.
那时候,他们还不叫YouTuber。
They weren't called YouTubers anymore before.
那时候还不叫什么网红。
They weren't, you know, called influencers.
有人问我,想不想去采访一位电影明星?
Said, do you wanna interview a movie star?
大部分都回绝了,好多都没回复。
And there was a lot of no's, a lot of no responses.
但我最后争取到了五个当时最顶尖的人,比如丽莎·诺瓦,她后来创办了Maker Studios,还有那个拍了舞蹈演变视频的人,那视频当时是YouTube上全球点击量第一的。
But I got five, like, the biggest people at the time, like Lisa Nova, who ended up founding Maker Studios, the guy that did the evolution of dance video that was, like, the number one video in the world at the time on YouTube.
这成了YouTube历史上第一个网红营销活动,让这部电影大获成功。
And that became the first ever influencer campaign on YouTube, and it made the movie a wild success.
电影叫《极速风流》,由杰森·斯坦森主演。
It was called Crank by Jason Statham.
票房收入是制作成本的三倍。
It it tripled its production budget.
杰森甚至邀请我去他家,聊数字营销的策略。
Jason even invited me to his house to talk about digital strategy.
那件事让我开了眼界,也奠定了我的事业基础,之后我不得不认真反思自己。
So that opened my eyes and built my career of putting myself on the map, and then I had to kinda just take a hard look at myself.
我当时在想,我是要继续迎合电影公司的那种 corporate 文化和游戏规则,还是去拥抱正在兴起的新媒介——社交媒体?那时候我还不知道它将来会变成什么样,但直觉告诉我,这里面有东西。
And what I was doing is, do I wanna play this corporate culture, corporate game of the movie studios, or there's this new medium called social media that's just forming, and it's I didn't know what it's gonna be today, but it seems like there's something there.
而且我确实取得了成功,这让我感到非常兴奋。
And I'm having success, and it's exciting.
于是我决定彻底转向社交媒体领域,如今我把自己二十年的经验分享出来,帮助别人找到属于自己的声音,并让世界听见。
So I decided to completely pivot my career into social media, and now I share twenty years of experience with people helping them on their journey of getting their voice right be heard.
这就是我今天走到这一步的经过。
So that is how I got here today.
所以你现在是不打算回答我吗?
So you're not giving me an answer now?
嗯,这个故事本身可能还不够抓人。
Well, that's the story that's not necessarily the hook.
对。
Right.
那你的故事的亮点到底是什么?
So what would be the hook for your story?
讲个故事是一回事。
See, it's one thing to tell the story.
但在讲之前先写出吸引人的开头,那是另一回事。
It's another thing to write the hook before you tell the story.
对。
Yeah.
比如说,可能是关于YouTube上第一个网红推广活动是怎么诞生的。
I mean, it could be something around how the first ever influencer campaign on YouTube was created.
这种方向我可能得花半小时到一小时反复打磨,尤其是如果要放在YouTube上的话。
Something it would need I would probably spend thirty minutes to an hour refining that, but something along that that angle, especially if it's gonna be on YouTube.
没错。
Yeah.
我想回赠你点什么,但现在卡住了。
I'm trying to return the favor, but I'm stuck right now.
我的脑子都快转不动了。
Like, my brain is over time.
不是,不行。
Like, no.
我想到了那个切入点。
I got the hook.
不,没想好。
No.
我还是没头绪。
I don't.
我真想不出什么来。
I got nothing for you.
如果你正在看这个视频,不妨在评论里说说,布兰登的故事该用什么做开头?
So if you're watching this video, why don't you drop in the comments what should the hook be for Brendan's story?
我想听听别人的故事都是怎样的。
I wanna know what people's stories are.
把你故事的钩子写出来。
Put the hook for your story.
你的生命故事是什么?
What's your life story?
大家应该把答案留在评论里。
People should put that in the comments.
我会去评论区帮大家修改钩子。
I'll go in the comments and rework people's hooks.
他会的。
He will.
我看过那些了。
I've seen them.
对。
Yeah.
如果有人写了,我真的很想看看大家的故事,咱们给点空间让他们发挥。
So if if they put it in, I would love to hear people's Let's give them fair amount.
如果在超市或巴诺书店里看到一本杂志,或者路边有个广告牌,你的开场白会是什么?
They had a magazine in the grocery store in Barnes and Noble, even though it's dying, or a billboard, what would your hook be?
我很想在评论区看到大家的回答。
I would love to see that in the comments.
好的。
Okay.
我们回到街头采访吧。
Let's get back to man on the street.
行,开始吧。
Let's do it.
明白吗?
Okay?
我不太记得我们说到哪儿了,但故事里总得有点结构,有点张力。
I don't know where we left off, so there's some structure, there's some tension.
是不是得有个明确的结局才够味?
Does there need to be some kind of clear payoff?
是的。
Yes.
而那正是视角转变的关键时刻。
And that's kind of where it's kind of that perspective shift, that moment.
别人能从中学到的最重要的东西到底是什么?
Like, what is the big takeaway that somebody can can take from that?
现在插播一段短暂的广告,马上回来。
It's time for a quick break, but we'll be right back.
大家好。
Hey, everyone.
我是《The Futur》的制作人里奇,我们稍作休息,因为克里斯有个特别想传达的消息。
This is Rich, the producer of The Futur, and we're gonna take a quick break because Chris has a message he desperately wants to get out.
就是这个。
And that is this.
你每天发帖,就会离真实的自己更远一点。
Every day you post, you disappear a little more.
你回头读一遍自己的文案,会觉得这话说谁都能说。
You read your caption back and you think this could be anyone.
这才是真正残酷的真相。
Here's the actual brutal truth.
你越想融入,就越难脱颖而出。
The more you try and fit in, the less you stand out.
克里斯在打造这家价值数百万美元的创意公司过程中,花了二十年才明白这一点。
Chris learned this after twenty years building a multimillion dollar creative business.
他承认,过去好多年里,他一直谨小慎微。
And for years, he'll admit he played it safe.
说话专业、包装完美,跟别人一模一样,直到他决定停下。
Professional, polished, sounding just like everyone else, and then he stopped.
他是个得过奖的设计师,同时也热爱街头服饰。
He's an award winning designer who also loves streetwear.
他是个CEO,却会在商业会议上引用嘻哈歌词。
He's a CEO who quotes hip hop in business meetings.
他是个教育者,敢直接指出行业的虚伪做派。
He's an educator who isn't afraid to call out industry BS.
所以当他不再试图模仿别人时,一切都变了。
So when he stopped trying to be everyone else, everything changed.
他打造了一个八位数的事业,吸引了全球十万名学员,客户愿意支付高价,从不还价。
He built the future to 8 figures, a 100,000 students worldwide, and clients who pay premium prices without negotiating.
不是因为他变成了别人,而是因为他终于更真实地做回了自己。
Not because he became someone else, because he finally became more of himself.
Content Lab 就是 Chris 教你如何做到这一点的地方。
Content Lab is where Chris teaches you to do the same thing.
每月两次与 Chris 一起的直播小组辅导,AI 系统完全训练自他的方法论,还有 52 个写作提示,帮你挖掘最打动人心的故事。

别再随波逐流,开始脱颖而出。

还有,丽贝卡,欢迎你回到我们的对话。
And, Rebecca, welcome back to our conversation.
所以,你知道,当我看到的不是科南的时候。
So, you know, when I see it's not Conan.
是的。
Yeah.
有时候是科南或者吉米·金莫尔,他们以前会去街头采访路人,然后问一些傻乎乎的问题。
Sometimes it's Conan or Jimmy Kimmel when they used to do the person on the street and then go out there and then ask silly questions.
有时候他们会带个名人一起,聊对方的电影,但不让对方知道那个采访的人其实是演员。
Sometimes they bring a famous person with them, like and they'll talk about their movie, not letting them know that's the actor or actress.
没错。
Yep.
这还挺搞笑的。
And it's kinda hilarious.
就是,没错。
Like, yeah.
她还行。
She's alright.
然后看看演员怎么应对,还挺有意思的。
And then it it's kind of interesting to see how the actor responds to that.
是的。
Yeah.
他们其实被高估了,你能看到他们不一样的一面。
They're overrated, and you get to see a different side of personality.
我觉得就在于它的不可预测性。
I think it's the unpredictability of it.
现在问题就来了。
And now here becomes the problem.
到目前为止,我一直比较保守。
Thus far, I played it safe.
我去参加了VidCon。
Went to VidCon.
有些人认识我。
Some people know me.
我就过去跟他们搭话,那些最早的三四个视频就是这么拍的。
I just started talking to them, and those are the first three or four pieces of content.
我好像从来没像你那样,主动去跟完全陌生的人搭话,也许我真该试试。
I don't think I've actually come up to a total random stranger like you did, and maybe that's what I need to do.
你觉得怎么样?
What do you think about that?
我觉得你没必要非这么做。
I don't think you need to do it.
我觉得在活动或者类似场合里做,效果还是不错的。找完全陌生的人,确实更有不可预测性,但你得挨个去试,得接触很多人。
I think that if you wanna do it at events or things of that nature can still work, Random strangers, there is more of that unpredictability to it, but, again, you're gonna have to go through a lot of people.
我们定下的这个定位和你提的问题本身就很有力量,我觉得在活动里做完全没问题。
The position that we came up with and the questions you're asking is so strong that I think you can still do it at events.
但我建议你试试主动去接近对方。
But what I would recommend testing is approaching the person.
这样是从现场互动开始,而不是一上来就两个人对着镜头说话。
So there's initial movement into the situation versus just starting with the two of you on screen.
就算对方知道你会走过去,也没关系。就像你说的,我们有个客户是厨师,他得提前安排好,因为他的节目模式就是先问别人最爱吃什么,然后回家做出来,再送回去。
Even if you know the person the person knows you're gonna come up to them, Because, like you said, there's some people like, we have we have a client that is a chef, and he has to set this up ahead of time because his whole format is he asks people what their favorite meal is, and then he goes home and cooks it and brings it back to them.
这种形式得提前设计,但我觉得你主动走过去这个动作,反而能增加更多张力。
So that has to be scripted, but I would say that that initial movement into it of you approaching the person creates even more tension into it.
不错。
Good.
我们马上要发布一个从一开始就充满张力的视频,这正是我们想做的。
We're about to drop one with some tension right up front, and that's what we're thinking too.
对。
Yeah.
没错。
Yeah.
但我觉得你其实没必要这么做,因为你的切入点已经非常有力了。
But I don't I wouldn't say that you have to do it because I think your hook is so strong.
不知道你有没有听说过罗布·摩尔?
I don't know if you know Rob Moore.
他是英国一个很有影响力的人,做了一个叫《颠覆者》的热门播客,他做的事就跟我们刚才说的类似,只不过他专门问别人欠了多少钱。
He's a big UK influencer, has a big podcast called Disruptors, but he's gonna do what we were talking about it, but his thing is, like, asking people how much debt they're in.
你看,这种问题本身就会制造出一种极具争议的紧张感。
So, like, that, again, there's that polarizing tension building question with it.
一旦有了这种张力,内容本身就能撑得住。
And when you have that, then it can hold on its own.
你不一定非得跑到外面去搞那种极端的场面。
You don't necessarily have to go into the wild that way.
你之前还提到过,那种尴尬感其实反而增强了节目的可看性和紧张感。
Something else you mentioned, there's some awkwardness that builds in the watchability, the tension.
我不是说我不尴尬,但我是不是该表现得更尴尬一点?
I'm not saying I'm not awkward, but should I be more awkward?
不用。
No.
你得做真实的自己。
You should be authentic.
别故意那样做。
Don't do it on purpose.
因为我们都是专业的内容观众。
Because, again, we're professional content consumers.
我们在潜意识里能察觉到很多东西,别人一眼就能看出来你是不是在演戏。
We're picking up on so much on a subconscious level that people can pick up if you're overacting and things like that.
我想你知道我刚才想说的是谁。
I think you know who I was gonna refer to.
对吧?
Right?
不对。
No.
那个行业内定的女生?
The industry plant girl?
哦。
Oh.
就是那个采访过导演的。
The one who in interviewed a director.
对。
Yeah.
鲍比什么的。
Bobby something.
对。
Yeah.
大家都会怀疑,这会不会是装出来的?
Where people like, is this an act?
没错。
And Yeah.
她完全沉浸在角色里了。
She's deep in character.
对吧?
Right?
是的。
Yeah.
问了一堆怪问题。
Asking the weirdest questions.
我不认识她。
Don't know her.
我还没见过她。
I haven't met her.
我觉得她天性有点拘谨,不过她确实把这事儿干得挺棒,效果也很好。
I think she's awkward in nature, but, again, she did a great job with it, and it worked.
我觉得她现在不这么做了。
I don't think she's doing it anymore.
我觉得对大多数人来说,这根本做不到。
I just recommend for most people, they can't pull it off.
如果你是受过专业训练的演员,那另当别论。
Like, if you're a trained actor, then sure.
你尽管试试。
Go for it.
但我觉得你提到的这些,怎么制造更多尴尬、更多张力,关键在于你怎么推动人们去重新思考:他们每小时该收多少钱,自己值多少钱。
But I think that the terms of what you're talking about, how do you create more awkwardness, more tension, it's going to be how you push people, how you push people to kind of think differently around how much money or how much they charge for per hour or how much they charge value themselves.
就像西蒙·斯奎布那样做。
It's like put like, Simon Squibb does it.
你的梦想是什么?
Like, what is your dream?
他在逼问:你为什么不做这件事?
He's pushing, like, why aren't you doing this?
你为什么不做这件事?
Why aren't you doing this?
你可以这么做,这么做,再这么做。
Like, you could do this, this, this, and this.
他一直在质问他。
He keeps challenging him.
这种质问制造了那种尴尬和紧张的氛围,你也可以用同样的方式去做。
That challenge creates that tension in that awkward moment, and you could do the same with that.
你为什么只收这么点钱?
Well, why are you only charging that much?
你为什么会这么想?
Why are you thinking about that?
与其质疑他们收多少钱,不如问问他们:为什么对自己的价值这么低估?
Like, challenging less about the money that they're charging and more about why are you valuing yourself so little?
我们接着往这个方向聊。
Let's continue down that path.
我一开始的打算根本不是要说服谁,只是带着好奇去探索。
My intention going in was never to convince anybody if anything, just to approach it with a lot of curiosity.
有人就说,哦,我是个拿工资的打工人。
So somebody's like, oh, I'm a salary woman.
我嘛,觉得这也没什么不好。
I don't I'm like, that's cool by me.
我根本没想去挑战他,因为我跟西蒙聊过这个。
I'm not even challenging him because I talked to Simon about this.
他说,克里斯,你打算去教育别人吗?
He goes, Chris, are you gonna educate people?
你打算这么做吗?
Are gonna do this?
我觉得这不是我的方式,因为我并不想强加什么观点给别人。
I don't think that's my approach because I don't really want to force an agenda on people.
好像非得让每个人都辞职、退学、去创业才行,可有时候这可能导致彻底的失败。
Like, clearly wants everyone to quit their job, quit school, and start their business, And sometimes they could totally have catastrophic failure.
这并不是我想推动的方向。
That's not what I'm interested in.
我只是对这个人怎么看这个想法感到好奇。
It's like, I'm just curious about the person and their take on that idea.
如果他们说,我不按小时收费,挺好;或者我按小时收费,觉得这点钱多或少,我就让他们自由表达自己的想法。
So if they're like, I don't charge by hour, great, or I charge by hour, I or think this is a little bit of money or a lot, I just try to, like, let them say what they want to say.
我确实不觉得你需要强加什么观点,但我还想给你提供一点不同的视角。
So I definitely don't think you need to push an agenda, but I wanna give you kind of a little bit perspective on the difference.
我们来看看‘现实学校’和西蒙·斯奎布的情况。
Let let's look at, like, school of hard knocks and Simon Squibb.
西蒙·斯奎布就是这么做的。
So Simon Squibb does exactly that.
他会问别人:你的梦想是什么?然后给出建议,帮助他们实现这个梦想。
He asks somebody a question, what is your dream, to direct them with advice on helping them pursue that dream.
‘现实学校’会去找那些非常成功的人,问他们:你是怎么赚到第一百万的?
The school of hard knocks approaches very successful people, asks, how did you make your first million dollars?
你是怎么成功的?
How did you become successful?
西蒙之所以有这么强的品牌影响力和认知度,是因为他把自己的建议和专业知识融入其中,而‘逆境学校’则不然——这绝对不是在贬低逆境学校。
There is a massive difference in the brand relationship and the brand recognition that Simon has because he's kinda putting his advice, his knowledge into the equation versus the School of Hard Knocks, and this is nothing against School of Hard Knocks.
他们做得非常出色。
They've done an Is amazing
是个年轻人吗?
it a young guy?
是的。
Yeah.
对。
Yeah.
我好像看过他的内容。
I think I've seen his content.
没错。
Yeah.
但他只是在采访他们。
But he's just interviewing them.
没错。
Right.
所以这种模式能打造的品牌上限是有限的。
A So ceiling
关于能靠这种方式建立的品牌来说。
to kinda the brand that can be built with that.
现在他靠着自己的课程和社群已经挺成功了,但如果能把他的专业见解或个人品牌更深度地融入进去,整体效果还能再上一个台阶。
Now, he's being successful with his school community and things of that nature, but if he was able to insert his expertise or his brand more into it, it would elevate overall what he's doing.
所以关键就在这儿——两种方式都能成功:一种是单纯旁观,只负责提问、当个访谈者;另一种是主动参与,把自己的东西放进去。你就看看你的播客就知道了。
So that's the difference is and you can do it both ways, and you're be successful, is you can be a passive just observer of this interaction of just asking the questions and being the interviewer versus inserting yourself, and that's also like you look at your podcast.
你可不是光坐着问问题而已。
Like, you don't just sit and ask questions.
你在这对话里不断输出自己的观点和独到见解,正因如此,才能带来实际的商业成果。
You provide your perspective, your unique insight through that conversation, and that's why it generates business results and things of that nature.
顶级播客主持人也是这样,比如史蒂文·巴特利特、乔·罗根、莱克·弗里德曼。
I mean, it's the same thing with the biggest podcasters, like like Steven Bartlett and Joe Rogan and Lex Friedman.
他们可不是光坐在那儿提问题。
They're not just sitting there asking questions.
他们会把自己的观点融入进去,正因如此,听众才和他们建立了这么强的品牌联结。
They're inserting their perspective on situations, and that's why there's such a a strong brand relationship with them.
这样说得通吗?
Does that make sense?
是的。
Yeah.
我觉得我处在中间位置。
I think I'm somewhere in the middle.
我不是单纯的被动采访者,我也明白为什么。
I'm not just a passive interviewer, and I understand why
我觉得你完全不是。
think you are at all.
对。
Yeah.
那个年轻人得这么做,因为他之前没做过。
That the the young guy has to do that because he hasn't done that.
所以这很合理。
So it makes sense.
对吧?
Right?
西蒙爱西蒙。
Where Simon love Simon.
我并不总是认同他劝别人去创业的做法。
I don't always love that he's trying to tell people to start a business.
这不是对所有人都公平。
That's not fair everybody.
我明白你的意思。
I I understand that.
很有力量。
Strong.
你明白吧?
You know?
其实我也不是那样的人。
It's like, that's not me either.
但我知道,如果你没有自己的声音或观点,那就会完全被别人主导,你自己反而被边缘化了。
But I understand, like, the insertion, the connective tissue, if you don't have a voice or a perspective, then it becomes about the other person, and you kinda disappear and all that.
我也不会这么做。
And I'm not doing that either.
我觉得不是这样。
I don't think.
明白了。
Okay.
这个视角很好。
Good perspective.
所以如果你倾向于让街头采访的对象保持性别中立,那就得想想怎么设计那个切入点。
So if you are of the type that wants to do the person on the street to kinda keep it gender neutral, think about the hook.
这个问题得特别有分量。
It's gotta be a really good question.
它得带着明确的意图。
It's gotta have built intention.
得足够开放,才能听到不同的回答,就像《阿甘正传》那样。
There has to be enough kind of open endedness to it that we're gonna hear different responses, and each it's like, you know, Forrest Gump.
人生就像一盒巧克力。
Life's like a box of chocolates.
你永远不知道下一颗是什么味道。
You never know what you're gonna get.
然后顺着这个线索深入下去,还得留一个能让观众产生共鸣的点。
And and then to follow that down whatever rabbit hole and just to make sure that there's a a part where the audience can connect with that.
有情感,让他们能联想到自己的生活。
There's an emotion, and they can reflect on their own lives.
我到底值多少钱?
What am I worth?
或者,我为什么不去追求自己的梦想?
Or why aren't I pursuing my dream?
然后,最后结果怎么样了?
And then to kind of what was the end of it?
你刚才已经提到过这一点了。
Like, you you had already said this.
我觉得得有一些
Like, there needs to be some
得有一个瞬间,或者视角上的转变。
There needs to be, like, an moment or perspective shift with it.
对。
Yeah.
我觉得另一点是,这不只适用于街头采访。
I think one of the other things and this is not just with man on the street.
我们讨论的很多内容其实适用于各种形式,但大多数人只关注开头的吸引力,而这确实至关重要。
A lot of the things that we're talking about are applied to many different formats, but most people only focus on the initial hook, which is critically important.
