“With the popularization of smart devices and 5G, users involvement in the creation and editing of short videos will become a more common phenomenon. Video will be the most important form of information carrier in the 5G era as more information created, received and learned by users will be expressed through video carriers,” Liu remarked at the dinner. “That is why iQIYI created Suike, a platform where content creators can create video content and find other users and creators that share the same interest.”
The Suike Carnival, Suike’s first interactive event for the short-video platform’s creators and users, aims to extend the online community to the physical world, providing young people an opportunity to interact with their favorite content creators and find their favorite interest circles.
“Content creators are a key part of Suike’s ecosystem. Going forward, Suike will build interest circles and invest more resources to make content creators the focus of different interest circles, so that more people can see and pay attention to high-quality creative content, and promote the deep connection and interaction between creators and fans,” said Ge Hong in his speech to the creators at the dinner.
