Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 652 Don’t Compare Too Much
"I made an appointment with my drinking buddies to exercise, so we came to the Internet cafe..."
As boring background music sounded, Zhou Dongsheng's face, which was three parts cold, four parts indifferent, and three parts handsome, appeared at the beginning of the video, which was particularly magical.
At the beginning, the two men were wearing sportswear, and then the scene changed, showing them sitting in front of two computers and fighting fiercely. It was a subtle reversal that made people laugh.
Who says e-sports isn't considered a sport? (Funny)
"After a narrow victory, he chuckled and unconvincedly called over the professional players from his own team...in an attempt to get back at them!"
At the same time, the scene changed, and the complacent Principal Wang sat on a chair and pointed back at two professional players wearing IG team uniforms. They were PDD and rookie, two professional players from different eras, but both were once professional players of the IG team.
"I smiled. With just one phone call, I bought two players and specially formed a new team, IM..." Zhou Dongsheng rubbed his chin, showing a meaningful smile, and raised his mobile phone to make a call.
The scene changed, and the smile on Principal Wang's face suddenly disappeared.
What's even funnier is that the two professional players, Liu and Song Yi-Jin, directly took off their IG uniforms, revealing their IM uniforms underneath, and then stood behind Zhou Dongsheng.
In the picture, Song Yi Jin's shot naturally flashed by, and he was just an unimportant supporting role.
As soon as Liu, who just won the Weibo Red Star Festival Anchor Celebrity Award, appeared, he was able to attract the attention of many fans.
Whether it is Weibo or Tik Tok, Liu's fat face has millions of traffic base. When the two are added together, the popularity is rounded off to more than 10 million, which is definitely not inferior to ordinary celebrities.
Therefore, Liu's face is obviously shown for a few seconds longer. Combined with Liu's funny acting skills, he has some of the demeanor of the former Paris street dancer.
"He smiled, and with one phone call, he signed the person back to his platform as a game anchor. It seemed that he was willing to spend a lot of money just to prove himself, but in fact, he wanted to let me know inadvertently..."
"He has a better career than me!"
At the same time, the screen even showed the popular news about "PDD signed a contract worth over 100 million yuan". This was based on reality and presented in a relatively absurd way...
It's half true and half false, but it has a convincing sense of déjà vu. After all, the two people in the camera look like people who can do such a thing, and the most important thing is that they have the ability to do it.
It doesn't seem like a joke, but it's better than a joke . It still has that familiar flavor and style, making the audience, who have gradually accepted it, unable to stop and shouting with excitement.
I can't help but secretly look forward to whether there will be some surprising reversal later, or some extraordinary content will be revealed inadvertently.
After all, with their limited imagination, it is really hard for them to guess how boring and plain this "boredom of rich people" is.
"I smiled and took out the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds that I invested in as if nothing had happened. It has now become the most popular game on major live streaming platforms..."
The back-and-forth competition and desire to win between the two people is mixed with a hint of absurdity in reality, and a hint of rationality in the absurdity, which the audience watches with great interest.
I thought this contest would continue, but I didn't expect it to come to an abrupt end with a clever reversal.
"Suddenly, we both realized that with the resources we have now, we can even combine our efforts to organize our own professional league..."
"Thinking of this, we both laughed like infants. Ah, the happiness of rich people is so plain and boring!"
In the picture, the two people seemed to have reached a consensus, and they were smiling happily face to face. But when they turned around, their smiles disappeared almost at the same time, revealing inexplicable expressions.
Finally, Zhou Dongsheng was the only one left standing in his office, looking at the Oriental Pearl Tower outside with a dull look on his face , exuding a faint sadness.
I thought this was the end, but the scene suddenly changed and the office door behind me opened. Mo Zi and Wei Shen walked into the office wearing IM team uniforms and greeted Zhou Dongsheng respectfully with nods and bows.
Zhou Dongsheng did not turn around, but just tilted the corner of his mouth 45 degrees, and a smile with a hint of meaning appeared on his face.
The picture suddenly stopped, leaving behind an inexplicable meaning, making the audience in front of the screen feel lost.
I felt like I understood something, but also like there was something I didn't understand. My head suddenly felt itchy, as if something was about to grow out.
For a while, a large number of viewers chose to replay the video, and this time they watched it very carefully, as if they felt that there were some easter eggs hidden in the video content, or that there was some deep meaning waiting to be interpreted.
At the same time, after this video was released on Weibo and TikTok, the number of views increased dramatically. In a blink of an eye, the two platforms easily broke through six figures and are still growing.
The number of likes and reposts continued to rise, triggering a social fission effect that spread across the Internet. In the two comment sections, more viewers were discussing the video content with great interest.
Now, after gradually accepting this absurd black humor style, I feel more and more addicted to it, and I can watch two young billionaires with a net worth of over 100 million perform an absurd comedy in person...
It's totally worth the money!
What? Free? Wouldn't it be more fun to have sex for free?
At the same time, there were suddenly some serious interpreters in the comment section, analyzing the connotations of the video content in detail.
"The video starts with two wealthy people competing with each other. The competition between them may seem funny, but it is actually like a real business war. Not only do I poach your employees, but I also want to make similar products to compete with you."
"Afterwards, my friend chose to temporarily avoid the limelight and started a new business in the live broadcast platform industry. He also successfully made a comeback and regained what he had lost. His smug look was beyond words."
"I didn't expect that the devil would be even stronger than the good. The other party turned around and made a phenomenal game, which is also the most needed live broadcast content for the live broadcast platform, enough to make friends who only drink and eat together be afraid of the consequences..."
"However, when the audience thought that they were going to fight to the death, the two sides suddenly changed their hostility and chose to shake hands and make peace. It is undoubtedly easier to make money by joining forces..."
“As for the last shot, I personally think it echoes the beginning. Cooperation is cooperation, but the damn desire to win cannot be lost. So I want my team to win over my friends in the new professional league!”
As soon as this interpretation was released, it immediately won the approval of many viewers. They exclaimed, "Wow, it turns out that in such a casual short video, there are so many twists and turns that they can't see?
"Brother, you should have full marks in Chinese reading comprehension, right?"
"You have a lot of words, I believe you!"
"Forgive my lack of knowledge and talent. All I can say can only be summed up in one word: awesome!"
"Brother, you must be the screenwriter himself!"
Even Zhou Dongsheng saw this comment and couldn't help but touch his chin. It turns out that my short video has this deeper meaning? Learned it!
But he is indeed a talent. Why don't we contact him and consider recruiting him into the screenwriter team? His reading comprehension ability alone will definitely be a great benefit to the screenwriter team.
Zhou Dongsheng did it as soon as he thought of it. He was not shy about it and actually used his personal account to actively send a message to the other party. If there is a chance, he can find out more.
If it's really suitable, and we recruit this talent, then we'll have another episode of video material, right?
It’s fun and fun, but if it can really be made into a unique phenomenal short video program, it will be considerable profit for both Zhou Dongsheng and the platform.
After all, in the Internet age where influence is paramount, such an invisible influence is also a considerable fortune.
Wealth has never been something that can be quantified with simple numbers, but expressing it with simple and crude numbers can give the audience a more intuitive sense of déjà vu.
After this video was uploaded to the Internet, relying on the success of the earlier works and the return of the deeply rooted character of "drinking and eating buddies" Principal Wang, the effect achieved was naturally 1+1 greater than 2.
As for the two major media outlets fanning the flames, or Principal Wang himself forwarding these "three tricks", they naturally still used the same tricks as before, directly increasing the dissemination coefficient of this video to the maximum.
With the relatively novel short video format and sufficiently eye-catching content, it is not difficult to continue the previous hit effect. It can even go a step further with its quality that is better than the previous one.
Among them, perhaps the most noteworthy is that, thanks to the unique and fresh short drama "Zhou Dongsheng's Boring Life", Zhou Dongsheng's personal Douyin account actually took the lead in achieving the achievement of over 10 million fans!
Ranked first on the Douyin platform, and this is a unique achievement for Scorpion Shit! Even [Papi Jiang] can only rank second with just over 9 million fans!
Of course, not long ago, Papi Jiang’s Weibo account took the lead in winning the honor of having tens of millions of fans, and the Weibo Super Red Star Festival celebration played a crucial role in this.
Compared with the social platform Weibo, Douyin, which mainly focuses on short video social networking, is still a little immature after all. Whether in terms of capital strength or traffic volume, it is far inferior to it.
[Papi Jiang] Having tens of millions of fans on Weibo is not the upper limit of the Weibo platform.
Zhou Dongsheng has tens of millions of fans on Douyin, which has become a milestone achievement for the Douyin platform, and also represents a breakthrough upper limit for the Douyin platform!
The breakthrough from 0 to 1 is always historic. When the first account with tens of millions of followers was born on the Douyin platform, will the second and third be far behind?
Among them, it is almost certain that [Papi Jiang] will break 10 million, which is undoubtedly exciting news for all colleagues on Douyin.
Even Yang Luyu personally called to congratulate Zhou Dongsheng, and even couldn't help but sigh, "Mr. Zhou, you are the right strategic investor, it couldn't be more appropriate!"
Not only did they provide assistance at the capital level, they also brought in backers like Pig Farm Capital.
It also played a crucial role in the platform content. Not only was [Papi Jiang] involved, but she also personally participated in helping Douyin achieve its first 10 million fans achievement.
With such a good man, what more could I ask for?
"Oh, no, no, if it weren't for Mr. Yang and his colleagues who have been quietly contributing to the development of the platform, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to show my talents, right?"
“Although Douyin is developing well now, I still have to warn Mr. Yang that if you don’t think ahead, you will have immediate worries. On the technical level, we at Douyin still need to accumulate experience…”
"Only technology is the most important primary productive force. Here are a few simple ideas for your reference..."
Zhou Dongsheng discussed with Yang Luyu his little understanding of the original Douyin short video like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.
Anyway, Zhou Dongsheng is good at making suggestions, but matters related to technical and other professional fields can only be left to professionals like Yang Luyu.
The role played by Zhou Dongsheng is like a product manager, and Yang Luyu is naturally the person who makes the product. If both parties work together and pull together, they will naturally be able to play a stronger role.
The ability that Zhou Dongsheng has demonstrated all along is enough to make his words extremely valuable. Even Yang Luyu, as the founder, listened very carefully and promised to continue to work hard in this regard.
Zhou Dongsheng just didn't believe it. Relying on his advantage of being first in every step, he mechanically copied all the functions of Douyin that he remembered, but he still couldn't compete with Toutiao!
Even if the technical foundation is a little lacking, can't it be better for the early bird to fly first?
With the accumulation of capital, no matter how steady Zhou Dongsheng was, he gradually gained his own confidence and self-confidence. As the saying goes, wine makes cowards brave, money is a man's waist, a man with knowledge of poetry and books is naturally elegant, and with a fortune, he has a strong waist.
This is the true portrayal of Zhou Dongsheng today. Perhaps another four words can be used to describe it, which is "a villain succeeds."
While the content of this video was fermenting all over the Internet, the PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds League mentioned in it, and the two twin players who appeared in the end of the IM team, undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention and traffic to the league.
While the iron is hot, Zhuchang Games and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds jointly announced that the competition will be held soon, and it will be hosted by Banana Games in the Magic City, where the prototype of an e-sports center already exists.
At the same time, the official account of the event and a number of other e-sports clubs have also released statements and announcements in an orderly manner. They will start a new journey in the PUBG League.
Principal Wang also generously forwarded and promoted it. So far, before the PUBG League even started , it had already gathered countless gimmicks and popularity. The IM team also became popular before the battle, becoming the first star team in the league to gain fame.
Zhou Dongsheng has done everything he can. All he has to do next is watch the development of the league. After all, the success of any event does not happen overnight.
Just like the reason why football has become the world's number one sport is that it has undergone more than a hundred years of development and evolution, thus forming a world-class football culture that is second to none.
Even the League of Legends event has gone through six years before gradually achieving its current rapid development trend. No matter how much Zhou Dongsheng wants to force things to happen, it is impossible for him to surpass the League of Legends all at once.
However, as long as the competition channel can be successfully opened up, the vitality of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds will undoubtedly be greatly extended, and it can achieve a longer profit cycle and more revenue!
