Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 390: A Big Reward
After hearing Zhou Dongsheng's wonderful metaphor, everyone in the audience, especially the girls, immediately brightened up.
They don’t understand things like vlog, but if you talk about photo-editing, we will be very excited!
"Before the emergence of Meitu XiuXiu, I believe that for most people, photo editing was still a relatively mysterious technology. Many people may not know much about software like PS now."
"The emergence of Meitu XiuXiu has undoubtedly greatly lowered the technical threshold for photo editing, allowing more users to easily edit photos."
"Nowadays, times have changed. For most girls, photo-editing should be as common as eating and drinking, right?" Zhou Dongsheng joked with a smile.
The girls below immediately smiled knowingly, not feeling offended at all. After all, it was 2015, not the time for spiritual energy to revive and boxing to rise (funny).
"Thanks to the simplification of photo-editing technology, Meitu Xiuxiu now has 400 million users. I'm afraid the number of users of this photo-editing software in China far exceeds the number of professionals who use PS software, right?"
"The value of pictures is so immeasurable, so what about the potential of short videos? In my opinion, it is far greater."
"Even Meitu, a company that made its fortune through photo editing, attaches great importance to short videos. The number of users of its Meipai short video app exceeded 100 million at the beginning of the year..."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and analyzed short videos from the perspective of tool attributes. A brief introduction from this perspective would obviously be easier for them to understand.
"Because I am very optimistic about the future of this short video format, in addition to investing in the muse short video app, I also want to leverage the power of our Xiaorenren Media to work harder on short video content creation."
"If the future of short videos is really as I envision, then the focus of our company's work in the future may also be tilted towards this area."
Zhou Dongsheng said this lightly, leaning back in his chair and waiting for everyone to digest it.
Yang Fei reacted very quickly and immediately stated, "I believe in the boss's judgment and firmly support his decision. Our "Famous Anchor Scenes" series of videos will be the first to be released on short video platforms."
"And later, we will also try to create videos around muse short videos, and we will definitely live up to the boss's expectations."
The other employees immediately looked at Yang Fei with new eyes and wanted to express their admiration from the bottom of their hearts: We haven’t even digested it yet, and you’ve already finished flattering us!
Zhou Dongsheng smiled and nodded, then said.
"It's not just Yang Fei. I said short videos are like Meitu XiuXiu. They are a simplified version of video editing tools, making it more convenient for the general public to create videos."
"So I have reason to believe that the potential of others is not inferior to that of Yang Fei and his video department."
"The main purpose of holding this meeting today is to encourage everyone in the company to actively participate in the Muse short video software, work together and brainstorm."
"Use your own talents and express them in the form of short videos. You are not limited to video editing. You can also shoot some funny clips, or beauty makeup that girls like. If you like pets, you can also record the daily life of your pets. If you like cooking, you can also record your cooking..."
"You can use the Muse short video platform to record your creations of everything you are good at and like. Use Muse short videos to record your life!"
Zhou Dongsheng introduced what he knew about short videos in a very eloquent manner. After all, short videos are just a kind of tool. How to determine the value of a short video depends on what users do with it.
Although Zhou Dongsheng's words were quite touching, it was like placing a bunch of dry firewood in front of everyone, pointing at the firewood and describing the spectacular scene of it burning.
No matter how much saliva there is, it is not as obvious as a little spark.
Therefore, Zhou Dongsheng wanted to add fuel to the fire. "I personally have a suggestion, which is to let everyone in the company register a muse short video account, and use this form to create whatever you want..."
"Of course, this is just my suggestion, not a mandatory part of the company's job, but...if someone can use short videos to create unique works and form their own account IP."
"Then, you can sign a management contract directly with the company like the anchors do. Just like what Yang Fei said, the vlog format is very popular overseas, and vloggers who make a living from vlogging have been born!"
"The predecessor of muse short videos is actually musical.ly, a popular music short video community overseas. They also have a group of users who call themselves Musers."
"I prefer to call this group 'Internet celebrities'. Internet celebrities rely on the Internet platform to output content and gather their own fan base. In essence, they are no different from celebrities."
“Similarly, in addition to fame, what is even more tempting is the income that comes with it, as long as you can create valuable short video content and account IP…”
"Then the company will certainly not treat you unfairly. How about I play a game with you all?"
Zhou Dongsheng suddenly said on a whim.
The people below were already extremely excited by Zhou Dongsheng's vivid description of the big stick and sweet dates, and couldn't wait to try to make their own short video content.
"What game?" someone couldn't wait to ask.
"Starting today, whoever can be the first to reach a million followers on the muse short video platform, I will personally reward him with 1 million in cash, and I will cash it out on the spot. I will never break my promise."
As soon as these words were spoken, it was like a bombshell dropped in the conference room, and even Xu Kaidao beside him couldn't remain calm.
The entire conference room was filled with gasps, making an outstanding contribution to global warming.
"Boss, isn't that a bit too hasty?" Xu Kaidao couldn't help but say.
Even though he was the vice president of the company, 1 million in cash was very , let alone the employees under him. As Xu Kaidao spoke, the employees looked at Zhou Dongsheng eagerly, as if they were afraid that he would go back on his word.
Zhou Dongsheng laughed heartily and said, "I, an old man, am still as wild as a young man. Today, let me imitate the ancients and do something like "there will always be brave men when there is a big reward ."
"Don't worry, a gentleman's word is as good as his bond. Now that I've said it, I won't take it back. This is also an encouragement to you all. I look forward to you taking this million in cash from me."
"Okay, today's meeting ends here. For those who didn't attend the meeting, as long as they are from our company, they can attend. Please convey that, for the sake of fairness, top anchors like Liu will not be included in this group."
Zhou Dongsheng added very considerately that after all, pdd is now the account with the most followers on muse short videos. Although it is far from breaking through one million, it is the closest to this goal.
If the top anchors are included, the incentive effect of this "heavy reward" will naturally be greatly reduced.
"Of course, don't forget that I invested in Muse Short Video, so if someone used illegal means to manipulate data... there is no need for such a person with bad conduct to stay in the company."
After saying this, Zhou Dongsheng put his hands behind his back and walked out of the meeting room leisurely. As soon as he walked out of the meeting room, it seemed as if a pot of boiling water exploded behind him.
Zhou Dongsheng paused, with a smile on his face, and then walked towards the office.
In fact, muse short videos have just started, and there is still a long way to go before they can incubate genuine internet celebrities with millions of fans.
If there really is someone capable enough under Xiaorenwu Media who can do this, Zhou Dongsheng would be more than happy to have him!
