What are the chances that a simple video of you and your friends joking around could get a million views? For Wong Fu Productions a simple short called “Yellow Fever” is what sparked their stardom. It was a short comedy about how white men always steal the Asian girls from the Asian guys. This video alone has made millions of views, and has been reposted dozens of times by other YouTube users.
Wong Fu Productions is an aspiring production company, who had no aims of making YouTube video production their full-time jobs. The three members Phil, Wes, and Ted were brought together at UC San Diego. Ever since this dynamic group has created a wide variety of videos for their dedicated fans, such as comedies, shorts, music videos and video blogs. With a little under half a million subscribers they have become a YouTube favorite to be watched on a Friday night.
I recommend everyone to watch some of their videos. They are so entertaining, I caught myself watching clip after clip. It was truly inspiring to see a group of people turn into celebrities over videos on a website. Not only that but since YouTube pays high viewed members money for views, you are able to make a living off of it! YouTube has changed our lives as we know it. Just five years ago there was no such thing as YouTube and now it could be argued that it is as popular as Google.
Will you be a YouTube sensation?
