The Live Streaming phenomenon has been an irresistible story of modern china for the Los Angeles Times beijing bureau chief jonathan cayman so its a Technology Story its a business story its a social story and its a political story all wrapped into one and its and its very its unpredictable. You. Stream out and comedian one show you one has over five million fans. Theyre tuning in to his foolish antics in the same way we would consume hours of cat videos on social media so walk the dog. One of his biggest fans stops work every afternoon to watch how much time you spend watching streaming every day. Let self. Talk how big is. The chinese have a special term for streamers and their fans. Who hate on these. Originally applied to online gamers who may not have many social skills but who are in their element online. It turns a community of nerds into superstars what are the hold up well theyre bought by whatever it is like in the hobbit when they see you know the whole scenario if you were to look at what it them over the lazy acts of violence or elbow. But that still bothered you. I dont help with. Heres what one has with a gun that is a tool box where when the one that is it feels and what it will feed on it is what it. Should i see in that noble that i see my god. Show you one earns a living thanks to the generosity of his fans by him. Using an online currency equivalent to chinas one. Child the. Buyer really. Really. Got to be there you know what i have to. Do is work. Out a letter to the. Today show you one fans will buy him four and a half thousand virtual lipsticks worth about eighteen thousand dollars.

One show you one enjoys the trappings of his success hes got an assistant who chauffeurs him from his new apartment to the one hes bought for his mother from the void or. Not and thats added a little bit. I was in here. Just for the. I dont tie. In with him but i do.

Live streaming has created its own fan driven economy but in the west its often used very differently. To broadcast protests or police shootings. I know. Theres no citizen journalism in china. But it turns out that even online silliness worries the government what. Bothers the communist party about Live Streaming. Is first and foremost how popular it is how many people are on it its about people having the ability to interact. Using channels that are beyond the governments control. The industry doubled in size last year and the Chinese Government is grappling with how to control it. In the last eighteen months theres been a crackdown on Live Streaming focusing on morality first in the census sites. Sexy banana e says there was one woman who gained a following for eating a banana in a sort of sexually suggestive manner and so the government issued a new edict banning the eating of bananas on thats a specific edict it was a specific edict from china from chinas media watchdog that you cant eat a banana cant eat a banana suggest you cant eat a banana and i suggest of manner while Live Streaming. Since then thousands of streamers have been banned and strict new regulations introduced. In july three major internet platforms were ordered to shut down their streaming service is impossible to overestimate the degree to which the communist party will go to maintain its grip on the discourse the government itself has hundreds of sensors and forces Internet Companies have their own teams of sensors that can number in the tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands that are tuned to the governments demands they know where they have an idea of where the red lines are and its their job to shut things down. To keep streamers on line and the money rolling in the industry has taken. Thank you. Young is cofounder of red Media Company thats a kind of factory for Live Streaming. And theyre all. Time to.

Im there until six months ago he had a thriving career as a live stream and made these little comedy sketches with his wife. But its hard for a jew so full sun to pursue a career in life streaming if his parents disapproved. And jenna w yeah you are from. You know there. Have been the two men. At a bit. Of a help even the other i mean they were in. By the hundreds on the unit. I asked shenlong if he could take me back to his village to meet his parents they lived through the cultural revolution when individual expression was suppressed. How do they feel about their sons ambition to be an internet star why didnt you want him to be live stream. Where it was our where wishes to live wishing i hope i dont turn to the diminished heart of any and yet he told me yes yes i said you know i know. You dont mean. This one is there for you ask you why you. Know this and also you know what are you going to throw from his parents point of view shenlong might as well be from another planet but he knows china has changed and hes determined to embrace the future you will come into whether her want to become him without all of the divine you. Live with and the young. One god in ignorance and whether the when one was young and you. Know no one no. Not our formal kano and with only hope with a monk and then with dream your after a six month break shenlong is going to have another crack at Live Streaming. So i think. He realized that being himself wasnt enough to attract an audience. Hes not alone. Is alter ego needed to be more confident and spontaneous. About. Twenty learning in. There. And then doing it all. Year and then name of the year. Of the year. Shane long can make more than two hundred dollars streaming for a couple of hours compared with forty dollars a day as a taxi driver. No wonder he sees Live Streaming as a ticket to a better life. Whether theyre from the countryside or the city anyone can become a stream and find an audience. But can i hold on to their stardom and stay within the governments boundaries at the same time. It doesnt want to do Something Like that youre going. To do it ill believe that you know they dont know about confidence and spontaneity can get you more fans. Going too far can mean fall in foul of the senses. Thats a lesson show you one learned the hard way when a live stunt brought his career tumbling down. He got drunk and then started streaming for you know in the end you know yeah im with this whole. Playing is it about he had to put down on joe. Johns yeah. Breaking the governments regulations on morality xiaoyu one got court with his pants down. On and i am sure that the whole ship with.

Back on line with one show you won and they usually confident streamer seems to be a little camera shy. He knows selfexpression is a double edged sword. How do you got a shot of that. That boundaries exist even if he doesnt always know where i. Its almost is that Technology Offers a promise of freedom that can never quite be realized. Yes i mean people say in china that people live in a cage here and yet the walls of the cage for many of the bars of the cage are so far away that people dont know they exist or dont know where they are and i think the metaphor holds true for the Live Streaming phenomenon.
