Zhang Beixing was holding his phone, his fingers flying across the screen. Frame by frame, he meticulously cropped or deleted clips. Half an hour later, Zhang Beixing had trimmed the video, which originally lasted nearly twenty minutes, keeping only the essence and discarding the dross. In the end, only ten minutes remained. This was the result even after Zhang Beixing had drastically compressed the content.
He let out a long breath, snapping back from his editing. "PHEW! This is really tiring. Sometimes, being too good at something isn't a great thing!" he remarked.
Ten minutes. That was the absolute limit to how much he could compress it. Any further compression would make the video appear disjointed, creating a sense of distortion and fragmentation.
That wouldn't do!
The reason Zhang Beixing had made a name for himself on Douyin boiled down to two things: One, listening to advice. Two, being authentic!
Both were indispensable!
