After seeing 00 ｜ There is a small town, who wants to go farther

More than two months ago, when he interviewed Xu Kaicong for the first time, he was still in a small company in Longjiang to shoot various small home videos on the theme of the sofa. For example, "a soft sofa allows you to let you down all your troubles "". At that time, he was pregnant with an increasingly strong dream and wanted to go far away. Farther than Maoming, he set the first goal in Tibet.

In reality, his daily active radius only takes 10 minutes from rental to the company. If the straight line distance is actually shorter, there is only a river surge in the middle. On the way to work, he will also see a primary school. The scale of township primary schools seems to be similar to schools he went to school as a child. From the end of February this year, I came to this company to work to the job. For three months, Xu Kaicong has been between these two points.

The big banyan trees, rivers, rental houses, factory buildings, fish ponds, banana trees, sugarcane forests ... The town of the Pearl River Delta seems to have similar styles, which is familiar to him since he was a child. Between Shunde Longjiang and South China Sea and Shun, this is the distance between this youth holiday.

A few days ago, when he saw Xu Kaicong again, he had bid farewell to the life of the town. In the office area of ​​the 6th floor of Zencheng, he joined a new media company. The work is even busy. Regarding Tibet, "don't think about it for the time being", he said, "work well".

New media company.

The company is not big, and it is more like a studio. The main business is to operate the Douyin account and the international version of Douyin account for the company. Douyin is not only a way of lifestyle, but also a tool for making a living.

The young people from the town are not so high, nor did they abandon themselves. He is practical, sincere, and calm, but he is not keen on socializing, "that's too laborious." He has a more comfortable way to keep it off with this society: brush the vibrato.

Life is like a short video. After three months, a job is over

In fact, Xu Kaicong almost went to Tibet. On the 10th of last month, he just resigned from the first job and asked "family people" in Xiaohongshu: From Guangzhou to Tibet, buy a hard seat and a hard sleeper. Can they sit hard together? Many people say that this money -saving plan does not meet the rules of the railway, and some people persuade him that it is too hard for more than 50 hours, so buy two hard sleepers.

The reason why this young man who has not had far away has the foundation of departure because of his resignation, a income settled in the company, just 10,000 yuan.

However, the plan was too late to implement it, and he received an interview notice the next day. After watching the short video he made, he asked him to come to work immediately. He was reluctant to give up the job opportunities of the 5,000 month of salary and additional commission, so he could only give up, that is, Tibet.

The first job in Longjiang was first applied for video shooting work. There were three colleagues in his new media studio, which was responsible for copywriting, operation, and personnel. During these three months, the boss layoffs and colleagues resigned, and only him left, and one person took the workload of four people.

Although there are a lot of work overtime, the salary of 8,000 yuan. When he joined the job, the boss also promised to add to 10,000 yuan after three months. He has greatly exceeded expectations for his graduate from a local college. His teacher told reporters that the employment of the small and small Xu is the most lucky. Other classmates, either they have not yet settled or have only three or four yuan a thousand income.

Although the salary is expensive, Xiao Xu himself knows how long it can last is uncertain. Affected by various factors, the company's operating conditions are not good, and the boss is not in a good mood. Sure enough, the three -month period expired, and the promised 10,000 yuan was not fulfilled. Moreover, the boss mentioned more than once that he wanted to cut off the new media department. He knew that it was time to resign.

The growth history of a young man in the Pearl River Delta Town

It's been almost a month after changing a job. He hasn't talked about his parents. He feels that he should not use things that beyond their understanding range to worry them.

The happy family in the town. /Provided by the respondent

His father was a postman in the town, and his mother worked in the shoe factory. He described his family with "ordinary that could no longer be ordinary". Since the memo, his father has rode a motorcycle to deliver newspapers and letters between various villages. When I was in elementary school, my father came to pick him up by school. Every day on the way to school, sit behind his father, walk with him, and send the last mail. At about seven o'clock, the father and son went home together.

When he was young, his parents were busy with their livelihood, and they would lock him alone at home for a whole day. He watched the TV for time, and the most watched "Crayon Shin". Another way to pass a long time is to play fire. Thinking about it so far, it has not caused a big disaster and it is a big life. He was very curious: What would a piece of paper become what would it become, what would a piece of plastic be burned, and what would it become when plastic and paper burned together. As long as he saw the burning things, he ignited them on the small table. He looked like a flame, just like there was magic inside. Until one day, the parents found that the table was burnt.

Although he does not belong to a wealthy home, he has not really experienced economic constraints. In junior high school, the family moved into the new three -story new residence. He didn't feel much inferiority in material, but when he was in junior high school, many classmates had a car at home. When he went home on weekends, he would rather spend two hours walking, and he would no longer want his father to pick him up in a motorcycle. But in high school, the family also set up a car. At the beginning of the century, such a golden age of rapid economic development was also the global honeymoon period for China to join the WTO. Almost every worker shared the bonus. As long as he paid honest labor, he would get food and clothing that was exempted from poor and hungry. Especially in the Pearl River Delta.

So material lack of material has not deeply experienced it. His sense of scarcity comes from another level.

To this day, he still clearly remembers the grievances that a composition question brought to him. In the third grade of elementary school, the teacher asked them to write a "Remembering an Unforgettable Travel". He was dumbfounded to write the text and couldn't write a word, because his parents had never taken him to travel. In the end, he wrote the park in the town, which was the farthest place he had visited.

This became his knot. In the sixth grade, his parents finally took him and his sister to the sea of ​​Yangjiang. When I saw the sea for the first time, I was excited and joyful. This spiritual hunger has always been accompanied by his growth.

How far is the APP open?

Xu Kaicong calls himself "the first generation of Douyin". The Douyin launched on 2016, from the original "15 -second music of young people" to the later popular short videos, Xu Kaicong participated in the entire process. He believes that at present, Douyin has entered a stage of commercial monetization.

The "sinking" of the mobile short video market covers a small town like him. The number of groups is huge and constitutes the basic background of the Douyin world. Big data shows that various new media represented by short videos and live broadcasts are the main platforms for young people in town to conduct cultural consumption and cultural production. The network culture community created by the APP broke the barrier of physical space and social space, and provided a channel for the integration and improvement of the young people in the town. They learned, shared and expressed here, and obtained a spiritual self -consistent.

Compared to the occlusion environment, the era of mobile digital provides him with a spiritual space that breaks social barriers.

After graduating from high school, "travel" is a popular keyword he searched. Under the algorithm of big data, regardless of Douyin, B, or Xiaohongshu, there are more and more related content recommended by all kinds of apps. In the information of the information, the carefully taken photos and videos built a beautiful distant place for him.

College life is also another small town in the South China Sea. /Provided by the respondent

He paid attention to the account of some brigade bloggers, and the video released was moved by him. He hoped that one day he could go to those beautiful places like them and take beautiful pictures. He began to learn the shooting and production of videos through Douyin and B Station to prepare for his future travel shooting. Later, after entering the college school, there were also related video shooting courses, but for him, compared to him, he was too basic.

He and his college classmate went to Maoming's seaside. In his short video, the picture of the teenager running on the beach was moving. Those young figures who are jumping towards the sea and facing Chaoyang's waves are reminiscent of the youth, blood, and dreams that every generation once possessed.

His university teacher said that Xu Kaicong was a person who could insist on his thoughts, and the video he cut was also very creative. In the sophomore year, she won the second prize in the professional skills contest of the Guangdong Vocational College Student's Professional Skills Competition. In this good result, the short videos he participated in the creation made a lot of points. Being able to find a job smoothly is also related to his short video creative ability.

For a while, Douyin pushed him a lot of content about Tibet. The snow mountains, Fengma flags, and switched tube under the blue sky and white clouds ... he was fascinated. However, dreams have to be released. He has to work hard to make money first.

He has imagined more than once in the distance he is going to go in the future. The exotic town he longed for, as if he was familiar with every street in it. He also conceived that if you go to Tibet, you can see more scenery along the way. Once set off, he will insist on whether it is snowing or rainy.

Also, he will definitely bring the camera and record what you see. He thought that when he went far, he might not want to say anything, and he would look at the scenery.
