Step Two: Write an Interesting Interview Script

  • Write the questions the reporter will ask (5-10 questions)
  • Write funny answers from the celebrity
  • Add contrast elements: for example, Einstein says physics problems are too hard, Beethoven can't hear the questions
  • Note: The dialogue should be short and interesting, each sentence controlled around 20 words

Step Four: Video Editing and Optimization

  • Use tools like CapCut or others to add subtitles (subtitles should be large and clear)
  • Add background music (choose music that matches the theme)
  • Add transition effects (not too flashy)
  • Control video length: 1-3 minutes is best
  • Display the most attractive content within the first 3 seconds of the video

Step Five: Publish and Operate

  • Choose high-traffic platforms: Douyin, Kuaishou, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu
  • Make an attractive title: use questions or suspense (e.g., "How many points would Einstein get if he took the college entrance exam?")
  • Add popular tags: #CollegeEntranceExam #AIVideo #Celebrities
  • Post at times of high traffic: 7-9 pm or weekends
  • Encourage interaction in the comment section: ask viewers, "Which celebrity do you most want to see take the college entrance exam?"

Step Six: Continuous Creation and Monetization

  • Create a series: release 2-3 episodes per week on different topics
  • Analyze data: see which video is the most popular and summarize the patterns
  • Start accepting ads once you have more than 50,000 followers
  • Monetization methods: platform creator revenue sharing, commercial advertising, product promotion, paid knowledge courses

Case Evaluation

This is a typical "AI tool + creative content" monetization case. The key to success lies in: ① choosing topics that hit national hotspots (college entrance exam), ② setting up characters with a sense of contrast (celebrities traveling through time), and ③ low production barriers but high creativity requirements. This case received 1.38 million likes and 1.23 million shares, proving that quality content remains the core of traffic. Newcomers should note that AI video production has become a crowded field; they must focus on topic planning and detail easter eggs to stand out. It is recommended to first test the topic direction on a small scale and then mass-produce after finding the formula for a hit.
