Where can I buy a video of African blessings? Please invite Africans to wish you a happy birthday. How much does it cost? Black people wish you a happy birthday. Where can I buy it

A group of black actors dressed uniformly, holding up signs and mechanically shouting auspicious words such as “Happy birthday” and “prosperous business” in Chinese in the camera, occasionally appeared on short video platforms, causing netizens to watch.

You may not imagine that these customized “African blessing videos” can often sell for hundreds to hundreds of yuan.

It is worth mentioning that before this, “celebrity blessing videos” had also become popular for a while. Many netizens believe that this is a distorted industry, is it really like this?

A slightly awkward “African Blessing Video”

“Dear xxx beautiful woman, African old irons wish you and your family a happy New Year, everything comes true and everything goes well!”

“Happy birthday to xxx, always smiling!”

“Xxx, we all love you, we are all yours!”

The above blessing text is written on a blackboard, with one or more black friends holding the blackboard and mechanically shouting the key information in Chinese while looking at the camera… This scene is occasionally posted by some creators on short video platforms.

Although the text is plain and the pronunciation is awkward, such videos often generate considerable traffic.

“Blessing videos” have long existed

In fact, similar “blessing videos” are not the first to appear.

Last August, several well-known media outlets reported on the sale of “Celebrity Blessing Videos” on e-commerce platforms, sparking heated public discussion. At that time, the celebrity list provided by the merchants not only included “outdated artists”, but also popular celebrities such as Jackie Chan, Wu Jing, Chen He, and Tang Yan, with a maximum bid of 200000 yuan per piece.

Compared to “African blessing videos,” “celebrity blessing videos” may appear to have more commercial value, but netizens seem to have less favorable views on these types of videos:

“The deformed industry that has changed its flavor must be severely cracked down on and stopped!”

“The person who spends money to buy this kind of video is actually the one who is foolish and has more money.”

“Can buying blessings with money really bring happiness? Isn’t this a manifestation of inner emptiness? Buying and buying brings loneliness.”

For the “African Blessing Video”, netizens have deeper prejudices:

“This is a mockery of the actors, out of place.”

“The Chinese people filming should give actors more compensation, this is a moment to show our conscience.”

Is it a deformed industry or not?

The main reason why people are dissatisfied with “blessing videos” is because their concepts are more traditional: on the one hand, they feel that videos are worthless, and on the other hand, they feel that they do not respect foreign friends.

Is that really the case? Otherwise.

In terms of “value”, “blessing videos” can bring satisfaction and entertainment to others. Saying that they have no value is equivalent to saying that TV programs have no value; In terms of “appearance”, since Chinese people can showcase their talents on short video platforms, foreign friends can also do the same. We should treat this equally.

From this perspective, selling “blessing videos” is not considered a “deformed industry”.

On another level, there is no essential difference between a “blessing video” and a birthday card or a New Year’s greeting text message. Since there is demand in the market, we should allow the existence of related services.

Little Touch believes that what should truly attract our attention is not the skin color of the actors, nor is the video meaningful, but rather the actors’ reports
