The success was immediate. “It was just like a New Year’s resolution: to make videos without the hassle. The first one got 50,000 views in one day. For me it was huge. So I worked on the character. Of course, it’s always strange to know that the videos have been seen by millions of people who don’t necessarily live in France. » One of his videos has even been viewed by more than 78 million users on Instagram.
This popularity pushed Matis Provillard to subtitle his publications in English to reach an audience that was not only French-speaking. He also receives requests for collaboration with companies in Clermont-Ferrand and elsewhere, as evidenced by the request from a restaurant in Toulouse. While the student claims he has never “really been hurt,” he has sometimes had disappointments with the clients who found themselves at the center of the video. “Most of the time customers laugh. Or they don’t move too much. And recently there have been some people who haven’t reacted well. I always explain with a smile, making it clear that it’s a joke. »
