Chapter 69: You don't want to be villains, do you?
The topic of the supplement was discussed that had been highlighted many times before.
Sinan once again denied all the previous topics and plans, saying that we have nothing new in the same way.
Next, he asked everyone to talk about their thoughts.
"Mr. Si, now it's a popular thing that is short, flat, fast, and deep, and no one looks at it. An older colleague commented. [Reckless Chronicle Comics/].
"Yes, Mr. Si, when the time comes, what should I do if I pounce?" said another.
"Didn't we study the audience's mentality when we did new media content before? We provide all kinds of instant feedback and stimulation content, all of which are to make their minds frequently produce dopamine, form dependence, and crave the arrival of the next stimulus, and fall into an endless loop. Software like the popular game app and Douyin Ying are the best example of the melon seed theory. Another colleague was very clear and well-founded.
"Okay, you're all old employees, so it's okay to have certain thinking limitations. The sun, Fangfei, Xia Xue, you say. Sinan cast his gaze.
We looked at each other, and she winked at me, letting me speak first.
In view of my faceless character, I don't shirk, I just say what I think, anyway, I don't break the law by saying the wrong thing, freedom of speech!
"Mr. Si, I agree with the opinions of your seniors, very good!" After I finished speaking, Sinan glared at me.
"However, I still have a little bit of an immature personal opinion, so please correct me when I say it. I hurriedly added that he withdrew his cannibalistic gaze.
So I began to talk eloquently: "Mr. Si, as Anqian said just now, the needs of the audience in the new media era need to be constantly stimulated to attract traffic. Once they lose interest, they will turn their attention elsewhere, which is what we often say, cold. In order to retain the target group of positioning, we have been doing kneeling and licking, just for the sake of efficiency.
But I wonder if AC's position in the industry has passed the stage of blindly pursuing profits? Quality Reading can help us develop a more elite audience, and this group is what our advertisers need. They have a certain sense of appreciation and economic ability, as well as strong purchasing power, and, moreover, are sticky. "I tried to be as brief as possible, but I still felt that there was a lot of nonsense and that the expression was not concise enough.
After finishing speaking, there was no sound around, and I didn't dare to look up at Sinan, so I sat down directly.
Then I heard a chuckle.
Alas, I knew that I would be laughed at when I said this, but Qiao Rui inspired me, and I didn't vomit or be unhappy.
Why are people who do things quietly and hard are ignored? How can people calm down and devote themselves to enthusiasm?
Sinan did not express an opinion on my remarks, but asked Song Fangfei and Xia Xue to continue to speak.
Song Fangfei said: "I, I think everyone has a point, I need to continue to study hard." Well, then, about the topic selection, well, it should actually be based on the reader's preference......"
"Okay, Xia Xue, you can say it. Sinan saw Song Fangfei stumbling, tilted his head and waved his hand, bringing the topic to Xia Xue.
"I think Sunshine said it very well. Xia Xuenuo said, which made me very embarrassed.
"I'm asking you what you think, not for you to comment on others. Sinan frowned.
An embarrassed expression immediately appeared on Xia Xue's face, and I glanced at her and asked her to speak boldly.
"Mr. Si, I ......" Xia Xue was hesitant, she couldn't say why, I guess she was not prepared, such a sudden attack, the new employees would definitely not dare to talk nonsense.
I am thick-skinned, and I have some work experience, and because I often scolded Jiang Haocheng, my performance just now is already very restrained.
"Alright. Needless to say. People like Sinan naturally saw that Xia Xue couldn't say anything constructive, and he had always regretted the time to end this discussion decisively.
"Cheng Jiaoyang, what about the topic you reported? Having said so much, let me see your depth. Sinan asked me.
I was stunned by his question, and the topic had already been reported to Kelly.
Before she could think of the wording, Kelly said, "Oh, I think the topic of the sun is up for debate, so I'll leave it there first." ”
Kelly is the editor-in-charge, my direct superior, and she has that power.
"Show it to me. Sinan said in a deep voice, and then he looked at me: "I've finished reading all of your guys, I'll see how bad she can be?"
Kelly chuckled and said wait a minute, she went back to the office to get it.
I immediately said I had it in my notebook, so I didn't need to bother Kelly to run around.
Now I don't believe in what comes out of other people's hands.
Sinan nodded, and I hurriedly found it and held the notebook in front of him.
In the process of waiting, some people whispered to each other, some took out their mobile phones to look through them, and some people looked around with nothing to do.
I was the only one who was nervous, but looking at everyone's appearance, I didn't expect anything from this.
I'm afraid that Sinan will use me as a negative teaching material for a while and scold me for being a bloody dog.
That topic was the inspiration that Qiao Rui brought to me.
Instead of adopting the traditional model of selecting materials based on people, I mainly focus on works, selecting ten artworks that can hit people's hearts at a glance, including photographs, paintings, and sculptures, through which I can dig out the stories behind them, and then derive the creators.
"Readability and readability" is what I highlighted after choosing the topic.
I don't want to do fast food culture.
In the past, Jiang Haocheng always said that I was whimsical, and I scolded him for being uneducated, but he was noncommittal and ridiculed me: "You are an idealistic utopia, unless you have the money to smash it into it, and smash it to the thickness of your accumulation that can support your dreams." ”
I understood what he meant, freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and accumulation is inevitable, but I don't have the energy, money, and manpower to do it.
Jiang Haocheng expressed no interest in this kind of idea that it takes a long time to bear fruit, and the future is uncertain, and the initial investment is all in vain.
But I think AC is different, it has a strong platform in its own right, and the audience is of high quality. And as a supplement, it's just a side branch, and even if it doesn't work, the loss is not big. After all, every business has venture capital, and not all of them are profitable.
Just when I wanted to get into trouble, I heard Sinan speak, everyone was sitting in danger, and I saw someone gloating and peeking at me.
"Yesterday I went to see a new Marvel movie, and I was a little emotional. "Sinan actually digressed?
Everyone else expressed great interest and listened to him continue.
"Why do villains always like to change the world, while heroes always want to maintain the status quo, or stability?"
After listening to Sinan's words, some people already understood what he meant, and more sarcastic smiles appeared in my field of vision, either obviously or restrainedly.
If I keep smiling, won't I lose face, what's the big deal, who hasn't had a time to be a child?
I comforted myself in my heart like this, but I was inevitably a little sad.
"You don't want to be villains, do you?" Sinan looked around the audience, his gaze aggressively swept over everyone.
Some people whispered, but the old editor, who had followed him for many years, was silent.
"But what I'm saying is that we don't need heroes in the workplace, and none of us can be heroes to save the world. If you want to conform to the herd, you are doomed to mediocrity. As soon as Sinan's voice fell, all the people who were laughing at me just now turned their heads to the side or lowered their heads in embarrassment.
I didn't expect such a divine turn, wasn't it the final conclusion just now?
Mr. Si, do you need to be cured for your panting problem?
I have to admit that I want to be happy in my heart, but I have to endure my facial expressions desperately, so that others can't see that I am carried away.
So I twisted my thighs hard under the table.
Sinan looked at me, and his eyes were affirmative.
"To borrow a quote from Arthur at the high-level meeting, you can experience it for yourselves.
Dickens famously said that this is the best of times and the worst of times. I think the same applies to the AC and to all of you today. The information age offers endless opportunities and possibilities for all talents to be put to good use. At the same time, every individual and group becomes a potential competitor to us.
Why are we invincible ?—— strength? Where does strength come from? So, what do we need to do after we have the strength?—— change.
Let our model be a case for others to emulate and learn from, and by the time they start to imitate, we've been rewarded enough to start exploring and changing the next time. In this way, you can always be at the forefront, become a benchmark, and become a leader. ’”
After Sinan finished speaking, only the sound of the laptop fan could be heard quietly in the conference room.
I have only attended the editorial department meetings in the past few months since I came to AC, and I have never heard Chu Qingchuan listen to the training in person.
Now I know it's not that he doesn't like meetings, but that I'm not qualified to be reprimanded by him.
From this passage relayed by Si Nan, I can even imagine that Chu Qingchuan sat at the end of the long conference table, facing the middle and senior managers of AC with a calm but sharp face, quoting scriptures, scolding Fang Xuan, and inspiring the team to continue to climb higher peaks.
That is the consciousness and courage that only the superior can have, what I just said is just a fantasy, and what Chu Qingchuan said is a blueprint with courage.
I'd love to see him like that.
And the big wolf dog who just wants to pounce on me in every way, it should be two creatures, right?
"The sun, the sun. "When Xia Xue woke me up with her elbow, I found that everyone was watching me.
"Huh?" I subconsciously sounded.
Si Nan's face was not good: "Cheng Jiaoyang! What do you want? Daydreaming? Did I hear what I said just now?"
I stuck out my tongue and said embarrassedly: "Mr. Si, I was savoring Arthur's proverbs just now, which was too profound and incomprehensible, so I was distracted." I'm sorry I didn't hear what you said later. ”
Sinan glanced at me, and didn't continue to embarrass me on this issue.
"I said, let you take Xia Xue and Song Fangfei to make your topic. Give you a week to report directly to me every two days. Also, Linda is going on a long vacation after a while, and you can hand over work with her for the time being. While she is on leave, you take on the role of secretary to the editor-in-chief. Meeting. After Sinan finished speaking, he simply got up and left.
I looked at Linda in dismay, she smiled sweetly at me, and walked out of the conference room after Sinan.
Once again, I felt the colorful eyes from all my colleagues.
Especially Kelly, the expression on her face is really wonderful.
"Blazing Sun, congratulations!" Xia Xue tugged at my arm excitedly.
But I know very well that Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind.
This is still thanks to Li Yutong.
