As far back as Qing DynastyDuring the Qianlong period, there used to be A painting of "Hundred Works of Art" painted by a court painter ", depicts all walks of life that existed at that time, and the various aspects of people's livelihood in the Qing Dynasty are vividly displayed on the paper, and is known as the "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" of the Qing Dynasty.
If you want to know what new occupations are available today more than a century later, please see the "New Hundred Works Map" recently released by Taobao, which presents 107 emerging industries in 10 common contemporary work scenarios.
To be honest, when I couldn’t see this picture, I wasn’t too surprised. After all, I have also seen many video bloggers’ experiences of purchasing “virtual boyfriend/girlfriend” and watching videos on demand for friends. Na version of "Love Cycle" As a first-level surfer, the services we can buy are all kinds of strange, and there are naturally many related professions.
Although the paintings are about today's emerging professions, if you take a closer look at the characters, you will feel that they are familiar: Tong Xiangyu, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, Yang Yuhuan, Lafayette, Bao Qingtian, Bu Jingyun, White Snake and other familiar characters have all been transformed into modern times. The type of work appears in the painting, which can be regarded as an Easter egg in this new picture of hundreds of industries.
I would like to call this picture of contemporary new workers the "Illustrated Book of Contemporary Migrant Workers", which unlocks workplaces such as live broadcast rooms and markets that have only appeared in recent years, as well as plus-size models, virtual idol anchors, and pet undertakers , scalp care technician and other professions that I had never thought of before. The emergence of some new professions is inevitable. Changes in the social environment and people's concepts determine new needs; some types of work may be just a way of saying brand marketing that is more practical than reality. Have you considered a new career?
Everyone is familiar with the live broadcast room of
. After all, who hasn’t listened to the top e-commerce anchors beating gongs and drums in the dead of night, calling you earnestly to grab the discount (ljq: You can give me your ID number) ? Then you have at least heard the contemporary consumption "mantra" of "three, two, one, link up!" that makes you pay without even realizing it.
The e-commerce anchor's sentence "Uplink" in front of the camera is the beginning of the live shopping behavior, and in the team behind the head anchor who performs their own duties, there is one person who is responsible for uplinking - the "link master" It is also a specialized position. They are said to be linkers, but they are not only responsible for linking at the exact time. They need to pay attention to the comment area to answer questions for consumers, explain discount methods and calculate preferential prices, demonstrate purchasing methods, replenish goods and "kick people", Interactive lottery draws, etc. must also cooperate with the anchor tacitly throughout the live broadcast to enhance the atmosphere of the live broadcast room and cope with various emergencies during the live broadcast.
From this point of view, it is not an exaggeration to say that the chain master is the "three heads and six arms" of large e-commerce anchors.
E-sports sparring
The predecessor of e-sports sparring is the game "playing with you". In the beginning, there were many reasons why gamers paid to invite "accompanying players" in Internet cafes. For example, many people thought it was to level up, increase scores, and improve game skills and levels; some people wanted to solve the loneliness of playing games alone and seek companionship.
With the vigorous development of the e-sports industry, and as one of the areas with the largest traffic in the live broadcast industry, the e-sports industry and e-sports players and other related jobs are gradually recognized by the public, and the entertainment of e-sports events and e-sports live broadcasts is slowly changing. For the sake of competitiveness, e-sports sparring came into being. On July 31, 2019, Shanghai completed the registration of the first batch of e-sports athletes. At the same time, the National Standardization Administration of China also issued the "E-sports Sparring Standards". E-sparring has officially become an officially recognized professional skill in China.
After such a rapidly developing industry has been officially stamped, and given that the careers of e-sports players are relatively short, the electronic sparring industry has become the first choice for employment for many e-sports masters and e-sports enthusiasts. Not only can they engage in what they like Industry, you can also earn considerable income, and you can also continuously improve your capabilities in the industry. From an industry perspective, the proliferation of sparring groups can also bring a steady stream of talent reserves to the industry.
Food prop designer
Speaking of food props, what do you think of is Mai Lisu, the "elixir" in martial arts dramas? "Red-billed Green Parrot" in "Huan Zhu Princess"? Or the fragrant roast chicken in "Wulin Gaiden"? I believe everyone knows that some of the food in movies and TV series is real food, while most of it is probably props. Real food naturally decays and cannot be photographed for long periods of time. For example, Tao Xinran, who plays An Lingrong in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", once said that most of the banquets during filming were a mixture of real and fake food.
Food prop designers have already existed, but now there are higher requirements for this industry. "Props also tell stories." Props master Sun Mingzhen once said in an interview. Sun Mingzhen believes that as audiences now have higher and higher demands for film and television dramas, props are naturally a key aspect that audiences will pay attention to. The prop industry's low threshold and high income have attracted many people to join the prop production industry.
Although a large number of people are pouring into the industry and there is a certain demand for props, many prop masters are currently only doing the work of purchasing and moving. There are very few outstanding prop masters with certain artistic qualities who can reflect stories and pictures through props. , the entire industry is also mixed. Being familiar with the script and managing props are the basics. Responsible for production, procurement, budgeting, acceptance, and even designing props based on the text description of the script and using imagination are higher requirements. However, income based on actual ability, low production funds, and long prop production cycle are also problems faced by prop masters and the industry today.
Plus-size model
The "white, thin" aesthetic that has dominated the fashion industry for many years seems to have slowly begun to waver in recent years. Under the voice of advocating diverse aesthetics and rejecting body shaming, whether it is the fashion field or the entire social environment, The hostility towards people with plump figures has gradually decreased, and their needs and aesthetics have also come to the forefront.
Many brands at home and abroad have begun to use plus-size models to walk on the catwalk, appear in advertisements and covers. For example, on July 1 this year, Yumi Nu, a plus-size model with an Asian face, walked on the catwalk of the Jacquemus autumn and winter show in Paris. There are also plus-size model agents in China like Huang Fei who are former plus-size models. They have unearthed new vacancies in the modeling industry. They not only connect people with plump figures with job opportunities, but also help more plus-size people in the "paper people" world. ” find a place in the clothing industry and encourage them to accept their bodies.
However, there are still some brands that are unwilling to deal with plus-size models, or they use clothing and photo editing techniques to package them during shooting and post-production, without changing the stereotyped aesthetic. The development space of plus-size models trapped between the so-called political correctness and diverse aesthetics needs to continue to be watched. People need to change their concepts, and the market must also convey correct and healthy values. It is not necessary to use plus-size models. There is Dear Kate abroad, and there are underwear in China. We can see that the brand's concept and exposure are changing body anxiety and promoting diverse aesthetics.
Dog food taster
In fact, eating dog food is not a strange thing. Dog owners who accidentally eat dog food occasionally will not cause harm to the human body. But I didn't expect that there is a profession called "dog food taster", who strictly controls the quality of dog food through tasting, smelling and inspecting.
Being a dog food taster is not easy at all.Before entering the industry, you need to receive professional training and learn to identify the tastes that dogs like and hate, so that you can adjust the ingredients and taste of dog food as accurately as possible in the future, and provide healthy food for pet dogs by ensuring the quality of dog food. diet.
Zhang Kun'e, a dog food taster who has been in this industry for many years, believes from his own personal experience that although the dog food taster profession is developing rapidly, similar to other emerging professions, the income of dog food tasters is relatively high, but the public's The acceptance level is not very high yet, and more understanding, popularization and communication are needed.
Door-to-door cat feeders
Today, with so many cat slaves, there is a lot of demand to take good care of cats, especially in many first-tier cities, where people love and raise cats, but due to busy work and life, they do not They must be able to take care of their cat owners at all times, so a profession called "home cat feeder" or "cat companion" was born.
Chen Suting, a professional cat caretaker in Shanghai, came up with the idea of becoming a cat caretaker because she lost her cat on a business trip many years ago. It wasn’t until 2016 that she opened an online store to professionalize door-to-door cat feeding services. She started her business five years ago. In the past year, it has served more than 5,000 households with cats. It can be seen that many cat owners have such needs, especially during holidays, there are a lot of orders.
is said to be a door-to-door cat feeder, but it does more than just feed cats. From adding water and feeding food to cleaning up feces, from playing with cats to giving real-time feedback to the poop scavenger, if you want to take good care of other people's owners, you must not only be professional, but also be as patient as possible. This kind of money is not easy to earn. .
Night Makeup Artist
Makeup artists are no stranger to it, but what is a “night makeup artist”? The emerging profession of night makeup artist originated from Changsha, which has a developed night economy. They are professional makeup artists who specialize in providing makeup services to people who go out at night, attend parties and other social activities.
There are many such night makeup stores behind several bars on Jiefang West Road in Changsha. The popular stores can receive more than 100 people a night, and the bustling level is no less than that of entertainment venues. "The more beautiful it becomes at night," the busiest times are on weekends and holidays. The price of a night makeup artist ranges from tens to hundreds of yuan, and young people with different income levels can choose services that suit them. Moreover, the customer base is not only young women, but also many young men who visit the night makeup store. There are even tourists from other places who specially come to put on night makeup and experience Changsha’s nightlife.
The emergence of night makeup artists depends not only on the development of the local night economy, but also on the entertainment and consumption preferences of the younger generation. The night makeup industry is still in the emerging stage, and most night makeup artists work part-time. Only a small number of night makeup artists with excellent skills, excellent reputation, and resources can open independent stores. If an industry like night makeup artist wants to continue to develop, it needs to further cultivate the market and achieve industry standardization.
Benxianshi
The word "Benxian" refers to the behavior of people who met on online social media platforms making appointments to meet offline - well, actually it is just a meeting between online friends. "Benxianshi" are those people who help others meet netizens they have never met.
In the beginning, the "Benxianshi" was the delivery boy. Some people, out of curiosity about netizens, suspicion and distrust of online friends, or fear of "die in the light", will use the pretext of ordering a takeaway for the other person, and then ask the takeaway boy to give feedback on the takeout with good reviews or extra rewards. The situation of the recipient, such as gender, age, appearance, body shape, etc.
As more and more people make friends on social platforms, the demand for "replacement of cash" is also increasing. Whether it is online forums, social media or e-commerce platforms, you can find the services of "Benxianshi".But we need to raise a question here. Can "Benxianshi" really be called an emerging profession? Not to mention that the income and market demand of "Benxianshi" are very unstable. Is this kind of behavior that is almost prying into other people's privacy legal and compliant? Does people's demand for "present masters" mean that today's social methods are deformed?
Negative Energy Recycler/Kuaikashi
I still remember that some time ago there was a hot search called "Kuaikaa Group". A girl was suddenly pulled into a strange group chat, and other group members except herself started a discussion about her. A series of lavish compliments - it turned out to be a "praise service" purchased by her boyfriend to celebrate Women's Day.
The exaggerated flattery and praise may seem a little embarrassing and nonsensical at first glance, but there seems to be a trace of pleasure brought by being praised. (Of course, some people say that this kind of paid praise service is not sincere.) Some people even learned some ingenious sentences from the praise group, learned "the way of speaking", and dealt with those social situations where it is easy to be at a loss for words.
After Kua Kua Group’s services became popular, people who specialized in Kua Kua services were called “Kua Kua Masters” and their services became more and more refined. “Rainbow farts” could be customized according to different groups of people and different needs. However, rather than calling it an emerging profession, it is better to call it a new way of playing, just for fun and to have fun. But if a boaster is needed to deal with people's negative emotions or even other deep-seated psychological problems, can the almost blind and repetitive compliments of a boaster really satisfy people's psychological needs in the long term?
