Chapter 41 "Recording a Beautiful Life"

Sheng Yunxuan actually still had somewhere to go during the Chinese New Year.

Qin Qianrong knew his situation and had asked Sheng Yunxuan to go to her home to celebrate the New Year.

It’s just that Sheng Yunxuan didn’t really care about spending the New Year alone, and he was too lazy to stay at other people’s homes.

Now that I live in Li Xiaoran's house, there is naturally no need to go to other people's homes to celebrate the New Year.

Li Xiaoran, who left the room for the first time in the past few days, changed her clothes and prepared to go out.

Today is New Year's Eve, and she has to go back to her parents' home to celebrate the New Year.

Before leaving, she walked over to Sheng Yunxuan who was holding a computer, hugged him affectionately from behind, and said:
"Just have a quick bite tonight, and I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

Sheng Yunxuan, who ate at someone else's house, lived at someone else's house, borrowed money from someone else, and even slept with someone else, responded with a clear conscience:
"it is good!"

I've already borrowed two million, and I don't need two or three mouths to feed myself, so I can just eat it with peace of mind...

After Li Xiaoran left, Sheng Yunxuan was bored, so he packed up and planned to go out for a walk.

In 04, Yanjing still had a strong sense of the New Year atmosphere.

Especially in the alleys and lanes of Yanjing, there are big red lanterns, couplets and auspicious characters on the doors along the streets, which is extremely festive.

In addition, when walking in the alleys, you can hear children chasing and playing, hear the authentic Yanjing accent, and smell the fragrance of New Year’s Eve dinner in every household, which is full of the atmosphere of fireworks!
Sheng Yunxuan, wearing a mask and holding a DV camera, was also recording as he walked. He specifically went into alleys like this to record materials.

Many years later, these videos with low quality will be a record of the changing times!
As the only high-quality video producer on Liudu.com today, Sheng Yunxuan wants to shoot some innovative New Year videos to upload.

He actually had a lot of video content about the Spring Festival in his mind, which were all excellent works that CCTV would hire people to shoot in the future.

If it can be filmed, it will definitely gain extremely high popularity on the Internet and resonate with the Chinese people.

It’s just that the time was too tight this year and there was no time to prepare for the shooting, so I could only simply shoot some New Year’s greeting videos.

Those Spring Festival themed videos can only be made next year...

Having said that, it will be a routine practice for celebrities to record a New Year's greeting video for the public in the future, but it is still rare nowadays!

Sheng Yunxuan originally wanted to find a suitable place to record a video, but while shooting, he suddenly had an idea and popped into his mind.

Without saying a word, he took out his cell phone and called Hong Zhifeng, the "ox and horse" who had to be on standby at any time on New Year's Eve.

As soon as the call was connected, Sheng Yunxuan spoke directly:

"Zhifeng, hurry up and send a notification to the website users about an event called 'Record Your Beautiful Life', encouraging them to upload their Spring Festival videos to the website."

"The website is offering 5,000 yuan as a reward, and the promotion ends on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year. The highest number of likes will receive 2,000 yuan, second place will receive 1,000 yuan, third place will receive 500 yuan, and the top ten will each receive 100 yuan..."

During the Spring Festival, the number of visits to the website increased significantly, with about ten videos uploaded every day.

However, most of the videos on these websites are game videos, and the rest are daily videos shot by users.

Apart from the game tutorials and daily life videos shot by Sheng Yunxuan himself, which are quite interesting and have several thousand views, the rest with the highest number of views are the complete collection of "Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties" uploaded by netizens themselves.

That’s right, these resources are pirated. After all, it’s unrealistic to talk about copyright these days!
Because personal filming equipment is not yet popular enough, the amount of homemade video content on such websites is small and the quality is not high.

Furthermore, in the early days of the internet, copyrights for films and TV series were not taken seriously enough, leading to widespread piracy and the ability for users to upload content at will. Consequently, many platforms that were clearly focused on "video sharing" ultimately allowed users to upload pirated content, and subsequently transformed themselves into film and TV platforms, either actively or passively.

In fact, based on the objective situation in the mainland, Liudu.com will definitely develop into video platforms such as Youku and Kiwi in the end.

But it’s not possible now, because Liudu.com does not have enough funds to spend money like crazy on the operator!

Without spending money, the website's bandwidth is insufficient. Users can watch uploaded short videos, but they can't watch TV series or movies smoothly.

Therefore, the current 6degree.com can only rely on "sharing" and develop slowly.

When YouTube is born next year and sold at a high price with a small investment, global capital and entrepreneurs will set their sights on the "video sharing platform" trend.

By that time, it already had a certain number of users, and "6 Degrees" which was founded a year earlier than YouTube was bound to attract attention.

Relying on the first-mover advantage to raise funds, only with money can we invest in bandwidth to improve user experience and develop into a large-scale video platform in the future.

Moreover, when copyright was not yet taken seriously in China, they used their money to stock up on copyrights of various film and television dramas, and finally listed them in the United States to raise money!

Sheng Yunxuan's development strategy is relatively clear.

As long as they followed the plan and made no mistakes, even if Liudu.com couldn't develop into a large platform like Youku or Kiwi, at least they could cash out and leave during the hottest period of the industry...

Of course, this is a bit off topic.

If Liudu.com wants to develop users and accumulate strength as quickly as possible, it still has to spend money!

Spending 5,000 yuan to organize an event and encourage users to actively upload videos is already a very cost-effective thing.

Hong Zhifeng on the other end of the phone said without a word after hearing Sheng Yunxuan's explanation:

"Okay, boss. I'll send out a site-wide announcement right now!"

In 04, a monthly salary of yuan could really make employees work wholeheartedly for the company.

Not to mention working overtime during the Chinese New Year, even working without a break all year round is no problem!
After explaining all this, Sheng Yunxuan hung up the phone, picked up his DV and prepared to go back.

But just as he reached the entrance of the alley, he happened to bump into a man of medium build wearing a mask and a hat.

When Sheng Yunxuan met someone who was dressed similarly to him, he couldn't help but take a few more glances.

When the man opposite saw Sheng Yunxuan's attire and the DV in his hand, he frowned and said in a serious tone:

"You are invading my privacy. Stop following me!"

After saying that, he turned around and left angrily, leaving Sheng Yunxuan standing there in a daze.

Thinking that maybe he had misunderstood something or had mistaken him for someone else, Sheng Yunxuan didn't say anything, but deliberately chose a different path from the man.

But he had just taken two steps when he suddenly heard a muffled sound behind him.

Sheng Yunxuan turned his head and saw the man wearing a mask and a hat, somewhat embarrassedly getting up from the ground, and then limping away quickly...
