127: The wildly popular "boring series" has generated astonishing profits! The decision of the wealthy CEO, Mr. Xu!
"The life of the rich is just this simple, dull, and boring! Bye, sis!"
Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, unable to react to the message from her best friend.
Because her good friend, like her, was a 'moonlight clan' member, someone who had to be frugal for several days before payday each month.
Who knew that today her friend would suddenly go crazy and talk about 'the life of the rich'.
Thinking of this, Xu Qing quickly asked,
"Hey, Xiao Sang, are you sick? What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight? Did you win the lottery?"
"No way, Qingqing, you don't know?"
Xiao Sang on the other end asked, also a bit surprised.
"Know what? Did you really win the lottery?
No, no, then you must lend me money..."
"What are you messing around about? Who has money to buy lottery tickets? I'm talking about the phrase 'the life of the rich.' You don't know it?.
This is the hottest phrase on the internet recently. Everyone says it casually. Don't you think it's quite interesting?"
Xu Qing was dumbfounded and said,
"I haven't been online much recently, so I really haven't heard that. Where did you hear it from?"
"Oh, I see, no wonder. Wait a moment, I'll send you a video link. Go watch it on Hong Gua Video Network yourself, lest you fall behind the times!"
Xiao Sang said.
Soon, the video link from her friend arrived. After Xu Qing said goodbye, she immediately clicked on the link she had just received.
Then, she saw 'the boring life of xu dalu' series.
Watching one short video after another, Xu Qing, who had initially found it a bit boring, immediately burst into laughter on the sofa.
"Ah ha ha ha ha, it's so funny! God, it's so simple, dull, and boring! This CEO Xu looks so cheeky!"
As she watched, Xu Qing gave her own comment.
Then she found that the comment section was also very lively, but most people were urging for more updates:
"What's going on, CEO Xu? Is it so short and weak? Take some medicine and post two more videos every day, okay?"
"Exactly, exactly. It's only one minute long every day, which is really not enough. It's too tormenting..."
"I'm fine. I specifically waited a few more days to watch. Haha, what a smart decision."
"I have to say, this is the most interesting short video I've come across recently. I watch it several times a day..."
..."I say, CEO Xu, hurry up and shoot the follow-up. You probably don't know, but some people are already imitating your style."
"Really? Leave the link first, so I can go criticize them!"
"Uh, I'm afraid you really would just go criticize them, because those who follow the trend haven't captured the essence at all.
They have the form but not the spirit. It's really quite awkward, not at all as smooth and natural as CEO Xu's!"
"Yes, but that's right, CEO Xu is a truly rich person. That rolex is worth over a million, they say!"
"I can confirm that rolex is definitely genuine. CEO Xu is a proper tycoon, acting naturally, you could say."
...What netizens didn't expect was.
In the days following the release of 'the boring life of xu dalu,' Xu Lu, this 'tycoon CEO Xu,' truly wasn't slacking off.
Every day, he was in the office directing and filming with a group of people, basically shooting all day long.
Of course, the results were gratifying; at least ten new short videos were released daily.
However, not all short videos that were filmed were chosen for immediate upload.
So, netizens were depressed to find that this boring series of short videos only updated one episode a day, making them extremely anxious.
No wonder there were so many vulgar comments in the comment section like 'short and weak,' 'cheap next door,' and 'quick man'... "Alas, this Great Xu Media is too casual. Their short videos are so popular now, yet they still insist on only posting one a day. How calm!"
In the Hong Gua Video Network's video editing department, video editor Qi Mei sighed helplessly.
She remembered how she was once made things difficult for by her Team Leader Liu because she hadn't discovered any hit short videos.
And the other party had originally intended to give her a hard time at the next day's regular meeting to suppress her arrogance.
However, 'the boring life of xu dalu' suddenly emerged and exploded that very night.
So, at the regular meeting the next day, Team Leader Liu, who was unaware of the situation, still used Qi Mei as a negative example to lecture others.
Moreover, this meeting was different from usual because the manager was present, listening in.
One can imagine how malicious Team Leader Liu's intentions were in criticizing Qi Mei at that moment.
If it had been before, Qi Mei would probably have silently endured it, as she lacked confidence.
But this time, she acted uncharacteristically and directly confronted him.
Amidst Team Leader Liu's incredulous expression, Qi Mei presented the explosive data for 'the boring life of xu dalu'.
At this, Team Leader Liu was completely dumbfounded.
The manager, who was listening in, gently applauded, and the other colleagues also applauded one after another.
With this incident, Qi Mei had established herself in the entire video editing department.
Even the team leader who disliked her now forced a smile when he saw her.
Of course, many people were envious and jealous of Qi Mei's stroke of luck, expressing it behind her back.
Everyone said that if they were lucky enough to discover a hit short video like 'the boring life of xu dalu',
They would certainly be no worse than Qi Mei now.
Qi Mei did not specifically refute this.
Because she felt that she was just lucky to have stumbled upon the hit 'the boring life of xu dalu,' but so what?
"If the 'Boring Series' could release two videos a day, that would be even better!"
Thinking of this, Qi Mei said with some anticipation.
But she probably didn't know.
The team that had just produced the hit 'Boring' series of short videos a few days ago was already preparing to move beyond short videos and shoot something more high-end.
Of course, regarding this sudden decision, apart from Xu Lu who made the decision, everyone else's expressions were quite surprised when they heard it.
"Are we really going to shoot a movie already? CEO Xu, this... aren't we taking too big a step?"
Photographer Xiao Xiao said.
Although his unspoken implication wasn't said directly, everyone knew it.
'If you take too big a step, you might pull a muscle!'
Although the others didn't say it directly, after exchanging glances, they all nodded slightly.
On one hand, although they had worked together for a while, movies are far more complex than short videos, and everyone worried they might not have the capability yet.
Another reason was also because of the popularity of 'the boring life of xu dalu' series of short videos, which made the team members reluctant to give it up just like that.
Although Xu Lu, this 'tycoon CEO Xu,' didn't care.
In fact, the revenue from advertising and traffic generated by the short videos alone in these past few days amounted to an astonishing several million.
