Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 239 You Are My Trump Card
"Restoring the Four Treasures of the Study using ancient methods?" Zhou Dongsheng had a vague impression of it when he heard it. It seemed to be one of the more representative series of works of [Mu Ziqi] in the future.
It also caused quite a stir on the Internet. Zhou Dongsheng got to know Mu Ziqi through this series of videos dedicated to restoring the essence of traditional culture using "ancient methods".
Even Zhou Dongsheng, a stranger who had nothing to do with her, accidentally learned about Mu Ziqi. This was enough to show Mu Ziqi's influence was so great at that time that it had already spread beyond the circle.
The reason why the Four Treasures of the Study video series has become Mu Ziqi's representative work is that it is dedicated to promoting traditional culture with high aspirations and great influence.
This is also because this is the product of Mu Ziqi's video style becoming mature.
However, it has only been 15 years, and Li Jiajia has already had the idea of creating works that restore the essence of traditional culture?
I don’t know if it’s because of the butterfly effect I’ve created, or because this series of video works is extremely difficult to create, and requires a long period of trial and error to accumulate, before mature works can be produced.
Zhou Dongsheng personally thinks that the reason may be half and half.
"Yes, this is a video creation direction I thought of recently. I use ancient methods to restore some elements of traditional culture that we are accustomed to. The four treasures of the study are the first direction I thought of."
"Just like we all know that papermaking is one of the four great inventions, but not many people have seen the pure handmade process of papermaking. I think it is meaningful to use this kind of content as video material."
When it comes to the topic of his own video creation, Li Jiajia seems to open up all of a sudden, as if there are countless ideas in his heart that are ready to burst out, and he can't help but express them.
Li Jiajia spoke freely with her hands and feet dancing. When discussing this topic, her whole spirit was indeed refreshed. It was obvious that she truly loved and cherished these things that ordinary people discarded from the bottom of her heart.
Perhaps it is precisely because of the support of this passion that [Muziqi] has grown step by step into a dazzling cultural symbol.
While drinking tea, Zhou Dongsheng happily listened to Li Jiajia's various ideas about video production.
After all, Zhou Dongsheng is a "man of the future" and has seen many video works from Li Jiajia's mature period, so he and Li Jiajia still have many common topics.
The occasional suggestions and ideas were quite insightful and made Li Jiajia's eyes light up and applaud.
The two of them got along better and better as they talked, which made Li Jiajia feel that they had met each other too late. It turned out that the boss was not only her benefactor, but also a rare confidant in life.
The grandmother standing by watched with a smile for a while, then slowly got up and leisurely went to take a nap.
"I think you have found the right direction in your video work, which is dedicated to spreading the essence of traditional culture. In today's Internet age, information dissemination increasingly emphasizes brevity and speed, which makes people more impetuous."
“Although this is the trend and inevitability of the development of the Internet, in this increasingly impetuous atmosphere, your style of video creation that takes a calm approach is particularly valuable, like a clear stream that goes against the trend.”
“Perhaps compared to the emphasis on short-term, quick and efficient creation, there won’t be any immediate traffic effect in the short term.
However, your unique style, with continuous accumulation over time, may be able to achieve the effect of accumulating strength for a breakthrough, and with the support of a large number of works, the traffic generated will also be endless.
In contrast, the lucky ones who become famous overnight are more likely to be like a shooting star, fleeting in the world of the Internet. "
"Just keep moving forward step by step at your own pace on the path you think is right. I will protect you and help you solve any problems you have."
After listening to Li Jiajia's ideas about the direction of her video creation, Zhou Dongsheng strongly affirmed Li Jiajia's creative ideas from the perspective of a boss, and also gave her a sip of fresh spiritual chicken soup.
But the last sentence seemed to have a hidden meaning. Li Jiajia was somewhat touched at first, but when she thought about it, she felt that something seemed wrong.
After secretly glancing at Zhou Dongsheng's handsome face, an indescribable feeling in her heart grew stronger, causing Li Jiajia to involuntarily ask a question.
"Boss, why are you so nice to me? My video creations so far don't seem to have much value."
After all, Li Jiajia has experienced the beatings of life. Even if the pie really falls on her head, her first reaction is not happiness, but vigilance, wondering if this is a trap?
However, after repeated contacts, Li Jiajia had already let down his guard. After all, he was penniless, and there was really nothing worth a big boss to go to so much trouble to gain.
As for those who are after her, it is nonsense. Li Jiajia does not think that she has the looks to be able to charm a young, handsome, wealthy and billionaire boss to the point of being at a loss as to what to do.
Zhou Dongsheng's conditions are totally different from those of a country girl like me...
Thinking of this, Li Jiajia couldn't help feeling a little depressed, feeling that her little thoughts were indeed a bit unrealistic.
"Because you are my trump card. Your potential is far greater than you think. If I go bankrupt in the future, maybe I can rely on you to make a comeback."
Zhou Dongsheng spoke the truth leisurely and even made a joke with a hint of sarcasm.
Of course, it is true that [Mu Ziqi] is Zhou Dongsheng's trump card, but Zhou Dongsheng has more than one trump card. With the trump cards he has now, it is indeed a bit difficult for him to go bankrupt.
But this joke suddenly struck a chord with Li Jiajia, as if it had instantly cleared away her inner fear and confusion. Not only did she find her own position, but it also seemed very "important".
Trump card? Then I will definitely work hard to become the trump card that gives the boss unlimited confidence!
After secretly establishing this goal in his mind, Li Jiajia felt that his whole body was full of motivation. After drinking the tea in the cup, he stood up decisively.
"Boss, please continue drinking your tea. I'm going to work on the video materials first. I still have to look up a lot of information and do my homework." Li Jiajia said in high spirits.
"Now that your video creation is gradually getting on track, shouldn't you consider the issue of a team? At least you can have an assistant to help you, and someone can also help with the camera."
After all, Zhou Dongsheng was just planning to recruit some people to start up the shell company Yinian Media to make some use of it. If Li Jiajia needed it, it would only be a matter of hiring two more people.
Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether you support one person or three. No matter how much the initial investment is, [Mu Ziqi] will not lose money on this project.
However, Li Jiajia shook her head resolutely and said, "No need, boss. I am used to working alone. This way I can be more focused and engaged. I would not be comfortable if there were other people around."
Although she said this, Li Jiajia felt in her heart that she was not worthy of having a "team" yet.
Although this was the boss's good intention, it was precisely because the boss was so "good" that Li Jiajia cherished it even more and did not want to take it for granted and overdraw on this kindness.
She would wait until she achieved something that was enough to repay her boss's kindness. For Li Jiajia, who had long been accustomed to being self-reliant, this was her true thought.
