Cultural Industry Review No.3928
Recently, because of the news that "a 72-year-old grandmother has traveled thousands of miles to see a man online celebrity", the discussion between "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" soared, and they were named "the dream lover of 26 million old babies" by netizens. As early as a few years ago, many organizations predicted that the middle-aged and elderly market would be a trillion-dollar consumer market. From the professional level of short video production and live broadcast, the competition intensity of middle-aged and elderly content tracks is not high, and there is still a lot of room for display. Online celebrity like "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" is just the beginning. With the deepening understanding of middle-aged and elderly people, there will be more content creators with better content and more scientific realization in the future.

Recently, because of the news that "a 72-year-old grandmother has traveled thousands of miles to see a man online celebrity", the discussion between "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" soared, and they were named "the dream lover of 26 million old babies" by netizens.
According to the new statistics of Tik Tok data tools under the new list, "Laugh at the city," Tik Tok powder.The number of silk was 17.17 million, of which 81.48% were male users and 77.75% were users over 40 years old. The number of fans of @ Scholar in Tik Tok is 9.72 million, of which 70.44% are female users and 79.8% are over 40 years old.
An aunt who charms thousands of people, and an uncle who attracts countless people. They can be called "middle-aged and elderly top flow online celebrity".(PS. There is no accurate definition of the age division of middle-aged and elderly people at present. This paper refers to the definition of middle-aged and elderly people in People’s Daily, and mainly discusses people over 40 years old. )
Why can "@ Scholar" and "Smile" capture a large number of middle-aged and elderly people? Besides the two top streams, what do middle-aged and elderly people watch online? Today we will talk about this topic.
Online celebrity, the top stream that my parents like,
So it looks like this.
When you open the Tik Tok account of @ Scholar, the first thing you see is a man with three or seven hair and wearing a shirt and trousers. His signature actions are to grin, tease his hair, smile and compare his heart. Occasionally, he will walk slowly towards you with a thermos cup in his left hand and a trouser pocket in his right hand.
After a series of tricks, it is the climax of the talent link:
In the green vegetable field, @ Scholar will pick a few peppers with a basket and say, "It’s not my fault to love you, it’s your beautiful fault".
In the wheat field of Huang Cancan, @ Scholar will bite a grain of wheat and sing affectionately "My little sister sent her lover to the east gate".
In the spring season, @ Scholar will go to the rape field, touch the yellow rape flowers and sing "Will you come or not?".
Occasionally, @ Scholar will become a "melancholy prince" and say to the camera with remorse, "I think I am not gentle enough to share your sorrow".
Since the first video was released on July 3rd, 2020, all the 1329 videos of @ Scholar have been in this form. Aunties are also very fond of this set. In the comment area of @ Scholar, many aunts left a message "Scholar’s younger brother, my sister picked up her mobile phone to see you just after finishing farm work" and "If only you were my husband".
Some aunts simply changed their names to "the scholar’s wife", leaving a sentence of "I wish I could be crazy for you all my life, and I will sing poetry and miss you."
In order to express their love for @ Scholar, many aunts also took a co-production video. For example, just by collecting the co-production videos of Auntie and @ Scholar, "Brother Cai is very handsome" attracted the attention of 190,000 fans.
When the "@ Scholar" was broadcast live, the aunts were even more careful. As can be seen from the account avatars on the PK contribution list, the rewards for "@ Scholar" are all aunts who are crazy about love.
Confessing in the comment area, rewarding in the live broadcast room, and co-producing videos with "@ Scholar" have become the fashion of aunts.
If "@ Scholar" is a "mother killer" and "Jin Dong in online celebrity", then "laughing at the city" means "giving in the well that is more suitable for dad’s physique".
Show your trademark smile first, squint your curved eyes, then naughty ask "Who says I’m not cute" and affectionately shout "Can you hear me when I call you brother?" In the eyes of many uncles, "laughing at the city" is as beautiful as "first love girl".
Just like @ Scholar, the talent of "Laughing at the Beauty" is lip-synching. In addition to the old songs "I really loved you", "I loved this life without regret" and "You were the man of my dreams", I occasionally catch up with the trend and play a Tik Tok divine comedy, such as "The Brightest Star in the Night Sky".
After singing a song, the uncles couldn’t wait to leave a message: "You have a bunch of eyes that hook people’s souls", "You are so cute, and my brother likes you" … In addition to these hot confessions, there are also literary uncles who can’t help but recite a poem, leaving a sentence of "Smile with Spring Breeze and Wanjin".
"This is too earthy and oily. Why do aunts and uncles like it?"
Young people don’t understand the popularity of "@ Scholar" and "Laugh the whole city". A large group of people poured into the comment area and live broadcast room of @ Scholar and Smile, leaving messages: "Be careful with your pension", "Don’t brush off my living expenses", "Be careful that I take a screenshot for your wife" and "I’m coming to arrest my mother" …
In the young people’s understanding, "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" seem to be the real version of the succubus, while aunts and uncles have become network idiots, so they should give their own pension money. For a time, the young people’s comments on playing stalks even overshadowed the normal comments of aunts and uncles.
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, there is no essential difference between the young people who admire idolize idols and online celebrity, and the aunts and uncles who admire "@ Scholar" and "Laugh the whole city".
Young people may think that "@ Scholar" and "Laugh the whole city" are not as rustic as their own understanding of online celebrity, but they are more like aesthetic differences.
For example, the male powder accounts of "Flower Broken Flower", "Nie Xiaoyu" and "Smile Beautiful City" all account for more than 80%, but because of their different styles, they are more concerned by users of different ages, among which "Flower Broken Flower" accounts for 50.23% of fans aged 18-23, "Nie Xiaoyu" accounts for 62.25% of users aged 24-40, and "Smile" accounts for 62.25%.
Different ages, different preferences. In the eyes of uncles, "a smile is beautiful" is "pure natural beauty".
Similarly, young girls can shout "I want to give birth to a monkey for you" to idols, and aunts can also leave a message "If only the scholar were my husband". Young people can get emotional comfort from idols. In the comment area of @ Scholar, there are often aunts who pour out the details of their lives, such as just doing farm work for a day today, recently quarreling with their husbands, and someone at home is sick.
As for consumption, at present, the main income of "@ Scholar" and "Laughing the whole city" is live broadcast and rewarding. according toNew shake According to statistics, in the past 30 days, the cumulative number of live viewers of "@ Scholar" exceeded 11.32 million, and the cumulative number of live viewers of "Laughing at the City" exceeded 15.16 million. From the perspective of liquidation, no violations have been found between them.
For young people who are slightly excited, the media people "whispered Bibi" to post: "Young people brush short videos every day to watch the little sister dance and watch the big muscle bully posing. Why can’t the old man watch Jin Dong bite his lip? As long as you don’t live your pension in vain, you can’t be happy. Young people don’t spend more than they do? "
Just as some netizens left a message: you can’t understand it, but you must respect it.
"@ Scholar" and "Smile",
What else do parents like to watch?
Young people may think that accounts like "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" are amazing, but in fact, in Tik Tok, where 600 million people live, there are quite a few such accounts.
Recently, the editorial department of the new list refers to the fan portraits of "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City", counts the accounts of users over 40 years old in Tik Tok, and sorts out the TOP100 Middle-aged and Old-aged Accounts with Fans in Tik Tok (hereinafter referred to as the "list"). It is found that there are at least 20 middle-aged and elderly accounts with more than 10 million fans, and all accounts in the "list" have more than 5 million fans.
(PS. Among the accounts that meet the screening conditions, there are some official accounts of David, such as "Thank you for coming" and "Liaoning Voice of Liaoning Radio and Television Station", which are not reproducible for ordinary creators, so they are not within the scope of discussion. In addition, there are a large number of film and television clip numbers, which are out of the scope of discussion because of the large number and copyright violations. )
So, what are parents looking at? Combined with the "list", the editorial department of the new list has sorted out five account types.
First, the positive energy segment
"Positive energy" is the key to understanding the content preference of middle-aged and elderly people. In the list, the core theme of 18 accounts including "Er Dan" and "Ni Ke Song" is "positive energy".
"Two Eggs" mainly shoots short dramas with positive energy, and the topics include filial piety, good health, kindness to daughter-in-law, a sense of security for the elderly, and family responsibilities.
On April 28th, "Two Eggs" released a video "Motherly Love Selfless" about a mother who worked hard to send her daughter to college, only to find that her daughter didn’t want to recognize her mother even in person in order to marry a good husband. Fortunately, my daughter’s fiance knows wisely, so that her daughter realized her mistake, and finally the ending was happy.
As of press time, the number of "two eggs" fans reached 14.3 million.
Just as spitting out parents and complaining that family of origin is a traffic password to attract young people, it is also the expectation of middle-aged and elderly people to hope that their children will be filial and their families will be happy.
In addition, by sharing "social truth" such as "dogs look down on people, and poor dogs bully them" and "when a man often drinks, he must not drink alcohol, but heartache" and other emotional chicken soup, "Chocolate, Little Lemon" and other accounts also suck a lot of powder.
Young people will praise "Let’s gather together and stay away from love rat" crazily, and middle-aged and elderly people will discuss it enthusiastically because of these "positive energy" golden sentences.
Second, Yan value talent
Yan value talent video is the key to glimpse the hearts of middle-aged and elderly people. In the list, 20 accounts, including "Laughing at a Beautiful City", "@ Scholar" and "Beggar Girl", all focus on showing their talents.
In terms of face value, as mentioned in the discussion of "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the Beauty", the aesthetics of middle-aged and old people and young people are not the same, and "Hug 917" and "Lonely People" on the list are more suitable for the old baby’s physique, online celebrity.
In terms of talents, it can also be found from the listed accounts that middle-aged and elderly people prefer folk talents and comic sketches. For example, the main content of "Brother Yang" is to imitate Xiao Shenyang, while "Bean Girl" is a folk funny artist, and the performance style is similar to that of Northeast Errenzhuan.
Young people will watch handsome guys and beautiful women and listen to pop songs. Middle-aged and elderly people also get the emotional comfort of "intimate people" from these accounts, as well as the simple joy of enjoying performances.
Third, life sharing.
Life sharing video is a mirror to help understand middle-aged and elderly people. In the list, the number of life sharing accounts is the largest, with 31 accounts.
"Enshao" mainly shares the joy and daily life of a mother and son. The background is funny, but the background is rural. "The most beautiful couple in Master Liu’s construction site" mainly shares the story of a couple improving their lives by live broadcast. The background is inspirational, but the background is the construction site.
In addition, middle-aged and elderly people also have their own plums, such as "@ Xiaomin" by 15.12 million fans and "Listen" by 8.37 million fans. Taking "Listening" as an example, it is also to create a clean and dreamy rural life. Liziqi is talking about fleeing from the north to Guangzhou, and young people returning to their hometowns to find inner stability. But "Listening" is more about stories between neighbors, and it is the ups and downs of people who stay in their hometown.
It can be found that simplicity and country are the main labels of these accounts, which may also be related to the childhood memories of middle-aged and elderly people. Before the large-scale urbanization in China, most of them lived in the countryside.
Of course, this does not mean that middle-aged and elderly people have no yearning for exquisite life. Among the life sharing accounts, the core content of 10 accounts is to share all kinds of exquisite life.
"Longmei" and "Xiamen Finland" are accounts opened by two tour guides. The daily content is to introduce various tourist stories in Nanjing Presidential Palace, Shanghai Peace Hotel and other attractions. Relying on these contents, the two accounts absorbed 7.1 million and 6.25 million respectively.
"China Future Consumer Report 2023: Generations" refers to Generation X (people born in 1965-1979) as "the generation with accumulated material wealth".Middle-aged and elderly people may have more time and money to travel. A reference data is that the number of users over 60 years old on Ctrip platform reached 10 million last year.

Similarly, Zhou Lijun, president of Easy Car Research Institute, once said that around 2026, the largest car buyers in China auto market are middle-aged (old) people in big cities, accounting for 40%. Recently, Cui Dongshu, secretary-general of the Association, also said that the main consumers in the automobile market are still middle-aged and elderly people. "The wealth accumulated by middle-aged and elderly people has never been seen before, and there has been no one since."
Perhaps for this reason, the core fans of car bloggers such as "Jiufang Beaver", "Mr. Ye’s vlog", "Wo is fanfan" and "Yu Ning Cici" are all users over 40 years old.
It is worth noting that in order to get middle-aged and elderly users faster, some operators choose to use positive energy short plays to suck powder first, and then change the content to plant grass cars, such as "Liu Yifei" with 5.58 million fans.

Fourth, dry goods of knowledge.
Middle-aged and elderly people also have knowledge needs, and 13 accounts in the "list" are knowledge dry goods accounts.
From "Hao Ge teaches cooking" to "Dr. Wang Cardiovascular" who teaches medical science, from "a red star" who talks about modern history to "An Lan" who talks about Chinese studies, and then to "Pan Lv’s theory" which analyzes family legal disputes, middle-aged and elderly people have a very wide range of concerns.
The difference is that the concerns of middle-aged and elderly people and young people are very different. Take the food account as an example. Young people like food bloggers who are lively and eye-catching, such as "Mianyang cuisine" and "Nanxiang doesn’t like eating", but what middle-aged and elderly people need is simple and easy-to-operate home cooking teaching.
Fifth, e-commerce sells goods.
Middle-aged and elderly people have not only content needs, but also shopping needs. In the list, there are 13 typical e-commerce accounts.
QuestMobile’s Insight into the Development of Short Video Live E-commerce in China in 2022 shows that 36.3% of users in Tik Tok and Kuaishou are over 41 years old. Among them, users over the age of 51 accounted for 18.9%, and nearly 30% of users’ monthly online spending power exceeded 2,000 yuan. "China Future Consumer Report 2023: Generations" also shows that there are about 330 million people in Generation X in China at present, and 23% of the population accounts for 34% of the wealth.

The consumption power of middle-aged and elderly people should not be underestimated.
"Sleeve Women’s Wear" mainly sells original women’s wear, and the customer unit price is mostly between 100-300 yuan, according toNew shake According to statistics, it is estimated that "Xiuen Women’s Wear" will bring goods between 50 million and 75 million yuan in recent 90 days.
"Enron Beauty-Diandi Brand Manager" mainly sells beauty and skin care products, according toNew shake According to statistics, "Xiuen Women’s Wear" is estimated to bring between 75 million and 100 million yuan in the past 30 days, of which the highest sales volume is an emulsion with a customer price of 3,899 yuan.

It should be emphasized that the female powder of "Xiuen Women’s Wear" accounts for 85.07%, and the female powder of "Enron Beauty-Diane Brand Manager" accounts for 79.42%. There are not many accounts with more male powder and high sales in the list. From the perspective of realization, middle-aged and elderly women have more potential.
There are also accounts in the list that are mainly small department stores that grow grass and live at low prices. Among them, "good things as scheduled" is estimated to bring 5 million to 7.5 million yuan in the past 90 days; It is estimated that "Qitong Haowu" will bring 1 million-2.5 million yuan in goods in the past 90 days.
It is worth noting that the number of these account works is extremely large, with a maximum of 40,000, and the number of likes is extremely low, with the lowest single digit. Selling goods depends on quantity to win. Combined with the historical data of the new shake, some accounts have also adjusted their operational content. Referring to "Liu Yifei", it is not necessarily impossible to rely on film and television clips, positive energy short plays and other content to absorb powder, and then adjust the content to plant grass and bring goods.
tag
On the whole, from the popularity of "@ Scholar" and "Laugh at the City" to the existence of a large number of middle-aged and elderly accounts, it proves the strong content consumption demand of middle-aged and elderly users. The results of accounts such as "Xiuen Women’s Wear" and "Enron Beauty-Diandi Brand Manager" also verify the good consumption potential of middle-aged and elderly users. From the professional level of short video production and live broadcast, the competition intensity of middle-aged and elderly content tracks is not high, and there is still a lot of room for display.
As early as a few years ago, many organizations predicted that the middle-aged and elderly market would be a trillion-dollar consumer market. In recent years, there have also been platforms for middle-aged and elderly people, such as candied beans and beautiful articles. With the aging trend in China becoming more and more obvious, there are bound to be more and more middle-aged and elderly business cases.
