In the major modern network platforms, online celebrities have become a mature industry, and there are very representative "online celebrities" in all walks of life. Although everyone is familiar with online celebrities, in 20 18, a very special online celebrity appeared on the internet-he didn't need to shop, sing, dance and eat live broadcasts like other online celebrities. All he has to do is sit there quietly and smile, and people will pay attention to him. He is a "real Maitreya Buddha".

To look like Maitreya, you must be a fat man. Although the earliest image of Maitreya Buddha and Bodhisattva was not fat, many people thought Maitreya was a chubby figure with a smile after the cloth bag monk became the incarnation of Maitreya. This online celebrity looks like Maitreya both in appearance and figure, so when his video was put online, it quickly became popular, which can be regarded as a traffic network.
This man is wide and fat, and his shaved face is rounder. When he laughed, his eyes bent into a crack. In addition, he is wearing a Zen dress and a rosary. In appearance, he looks like Maitreya in a temple. It is also for this reason that videos about him spread rapidly on the Internet.

As we all know, Maitreya Buddha is a popular Buddha. Moreover, everyone likes him for a very important reason, because his appearance looks rich and festive, and Maitreya Buddha also represents peace and tolerance. Therefore, it is not surprising that when a man called "Maitreya Buddha in real life" appears, he can quickly become popular.

A rich woman saw a video about this "Maitreya Buddha in real life" on the Internet and suddenly had a brainwave and had some other ideas. She took a fancy to the traffic brought by this online celebrity and the commercial value represented by this image. So the rich woman specially contacted Maitreya, and she offered a high price, claiming to take this "true Maitreya" home to "support".

However, the support mode of the rich woman is also very modern. She specially hired a packaging team to re-create the image of "Maitreya Buddha" in "Network Celebrity". Since then, "Maitreya Buddha" has often appeared in various business activities and banquets. On these occasions, it has become a form of performance to invite a "Maitreya Buddha" to meditate and chant Buddhist scripture on stage. This is also very auspicious for many businessmen, so "Maitreya Buddha" was once highly sought after.
This was originally a good thing for an online celebrity. It can be said that he got a job with higher income. But in order to make his appearance closer to Maitreya, he had to eat a lot of food to keep fit. As can be seen from the picture, in fact, the "true Maitreya Buddha" has already exceeded the standard and is in an unhealthy obesity state. But in order to keep this way, he not only can't lose weight, but also needs to keep gaining weight, so his health is also worrying.

Moreover, network celebrities who have no technical content and only rely on their appearance cannot be popular for a long time. Once a new stranger appears, as Du Fu wrote in Beauty, "All he can see is a new smile. How can an old man cry?" So soon, the popularity of "Maitreya Buddha" became lower and lower, and fewer and fewer people paid attention to him.
"True Maitreya" is not a true Maitreya after all, so the rich woman invited at a high price is not so much a "support" as an employment. Since it is employment, when he can't produce value, he will naturally be fired. After the termination of the contract, the "real Maitreya Buddha" naturally faded out of people's sight, and no one cared too much. After all, there is no shortage of online celebrities.

As a result, he returned to a normal life, and his previous online celebrity experience also made him earn a sum of money. However, due to the health problems caused by obesity, more time is needed for treatment and repair. After all, if you want to get a better life, if you don't have health, no amount of money will help.

In fact, the popularity and disappearance of "Maitreya Buddha" is normal, and marketing companies will continue to create one different network celebrity after another. What really stays in people's sight for a long time is not a new-looking online celebrity. Although this short-term traffic network celebrity disappears quickly, it is not a bad thing for marketing companies. They also profit from it. Online celebrities earn their own wages, and netizens also get fun from it. Everyone has his own place.
