Chen Feng thought about it for a moment. If Zhang Rui's videos could become viral and attract traffic in the early days of Douyin, then 100 yuan per video wouldn't be unacceptable.
“I can meet your price, but it needs to be approved by me first. After all, I won’t pay for something that isn’t attractive enough.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Rui's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.
"Don't worry, works of high artistic value cannot lack appeal."
As she spoke, Zhang Rui handed the camera to Chen Feng, saying, "This is my most satisfying set of works, and it's called 'Inseparable'."
Chen Feng took the camera and examined it carefully.
This series of works consists of sixteen videos. The protagonist is an elderly rural woman in her eighties. Sitting at the entrance of the village, she gazes intently into the empty distance, appearing lonely and helpless in the afterglow of the setting sun.
The other fifteen videos document scenes such as the grandmother taking a nap, cooking, grocery shopping, and doing housework.
Zhang Rui repeatedly took close-up shots of the old woman's face, seemingly trying to use the wrinkles on her face to illustrate the hardships she had endured over the years and to echo her loneliness in her later years.
"hiss!"
Chen Feng couldn't help but gasp.
If Douyin reaches a certain scale, Chen Feng would not mind publishing these videos that reflect the plight of elderly people living alone.
However, Douyin's target users are currently female college students.
Should we show them the old lady?
Is it a reminder that sooner or later they will end up like the old woman, with a face like a boot and all alone?
With just a little imagination, Chen Feng could picture countless female college students cursing and swearing after watching Zhang Rui's work, and then casually closing the Douyin webpage!
With this, Zhang Rui still dares to ask for a high price?
Each video costs 100 yuan, so sixteen videos would cost 1600 yuan...
Zhang Rui is quite kind.
She could have just robbed people, but instead she created a set of videos that were "of high artistic value".
"Should I call the police?"
Chen Feng muttered to himself.
