Features: This thick volume compiles oral histories of over 60 Phoenix Media employees and their stories with Phoenix TV. As Phoenix employees, some have profound qualifications, joining the Phoenix startup team even before its establishment; others are as old as Phoenix itself, participating in nearly all major events during its first decade, with their own career histories mirroring the development of Phoenix TV; and some are newcomers. Although they joined Phoenix at different times, every Phoenix employee is a shining feather on Phoenix's wings, weathering storms together with Phoenix TV. As eyewitnesses and participants of Phoenix TV's ten years, their "I Speak My Heart" undoubtedly offers a series of unique and insightful puzzles, with their organic combination presenting a multifaceted and colorful Phoenix TV.
The French philosopher Foucault, who explored the aesthetics of survival his entire life, guides individuals to actively establish their self, achieving "joyful indulgence" in life by defining the relationship between humans and themselves, with "self-satisfaction" becoming the essence of life and work. Before joining Phoenix TV, the Phoenix employees had diverse backgrounds and experiences. After arriving at Phoenix TV, they not only "discovered themselves" but also "invented themselves," a joyful yet harsh process of achievement and being achieved, of being discovered and discovering. Phoenix TV, metaphorically described as a "juicer," actually squeezes out the "potential" of people. The power of this "energy" is boundless—it can transform mediocrity into excellence, and excellence into outstanding achievement. It is these silent transformations of countless individuals that bring about the extraordinary and unconventional as a whole.
In building the " of Influential People," the Phoenix employees found their foundation: "One must first become an influential person." This book presents the oral histories of over 60 Phoenix employees, records of Phoenix TV's ten years of survival and development from a human-centered perspective, and the author's interviews across Beijing, Shenzhen, Taipei, and Hong Kong, offering a comprehensive and close-up encounter with the Phoenix TV team. Direct dialogues with the decision-makers and executives of Phoenix TV are included. The book is organized vertically by time and horizontally by themes, objectively presenting the ups and downs of Phoenix employees' career paths and personal destinies. With major events as the focus and details as supplementary, it vividly records the joys, sorrows, and struggles behind Phoenix TV's ten years of survival and development, revealing heart-stirring truths and providing actionable TV practices, highly valuable career philosophies, and presenting to society a miracle of modern media.
