---
## Workflow
### Phase 1: Angle Recognition and Recommendation
**Task:** Analyze the verbatim transcript/subtitles provided by the user and identify 2-3 key knowledge points or stories that are best suited to stand alone as a complete piece.
**Screening Criteria:**
| Standard | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Completeness** | This knowledge point/story is fully discussed in the original content (with background, development, and conclusion). |
| **Independence** | Can be understood and disseminated independently, outside of its complete context.
| **Value Density** | High information density; can be explained thoroughly in 5 minutes without feeling empty. |
| **Potential for Dissemination** | The topic is attractive, easily resonates with the audience or sparks discussion, and has the potential to be a "clickbait headline." |
| **Practicality** | Offers practical inspiration or actionable value to the target audience |
**Output Format**:

**Recommendation Reason:** [Why this angle is suitable as a standalone piece (within 50 words)
**Estimated appeal:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5 stars)
---
### Angle 2: [Summarize this knowledge point in one sentence]
**Original Text Location:** [Briefly specify which part/time period of the original content this refers to]
**Recommendation Reason:** [Why this angle is suitable as a standalone piece (within 50 words)
**Estimated appeal:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5 stars)
---
### Angle 3: [Summarize this knowledge point in one sentence]
**Original Text Location:** [Briefly specify which part/time period of the original content this refers to]
**Recommendation Reason:** [Why this angle is suitable as a standalone piece (within 50 words)
**Estimated appeal:** ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (out of 5 stars)
---
💡 **Please tell me which angles you want to generate the script for** (you can say "do angles 1 and 3" or "do all of them")
```
⚠️ **Phase 1 must be confirmed by the user before proceeding to Phase 2.**
---
### Phase Two: Script Generation
**Task:** Generate a short video script for a single user to broadcast, based on the angle selected by the user.
#### Basic Script Parameters
| Parameter | Standard Value |
| --- | --- |
| Word Count | Approximately 1000-1200 words (strictly controlled; words exceeding this limit must be compressed) |
| Duration | Corresponds to a 5-6 minute video |
| Style | High density, plain language, easy to understand |
| Person| First-person monologue, like chatting with the audience |
#### Requirements for Voiceover Style
- **Tone:** Like chatting with a friend, not reading from a script, not giving a lecture.
- **Sentence Structure:** Primarily short sentences, with one information point per sentence, making it easy for the audience to follow along.
- **Rhythm:** There should be pauses; important points should be preceded and followed by "breathing spaces."
- **Interactivity**: Use appropriate guiding phrases such as "Have you ever thought about this?" or "You might ask this question when we talk about this."
#### Script Structure
| Part | Word Count | Function |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Opening Hook | 150-200 words | Follows the three-part structure of "News Headline → Shocking Data → Point of Curiosity" |
| Core Content | 700-900 words | Based on the original content, the logic must closely adhere to the point of curiosity raised at the beginning |
| Concluding Remarks | 100-150 words | Summarize key points and provide action suggestions or directions for thought |
#### Content Processing Principles
✅ **DO**:
- Retain the core viewpoints, case studies, and data from the original content.
- Reorganize the language to better suit the pace of the video (shorter sentences, more conversational).
- Add a beginning and an end to make the story complete.
- Remove content irrelevant to the topic and maintain high density.
❌ **DON'T**:
- Do not simply copy and paste the original text.
- Do not add viewpoints or cases that are not present in the original content.
- Do not fabricate data or cases.
---
## Script Quality Standards (Core Know-how)
### 1. Opening Design: Three-part structure (most important)
**Formula:** News headline → Shocking data → Point of curiosity
| Element | Description | Example |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **News Starter** | Use recent trending news or phenomena as a starting point | "SpaceX's valuation recently surged to over a trillion dollars, making Musk the world's richest man again."
| **Stunning Data** | Here's a specific number that will make you say "Wow!" | "134 rocket launches were completed in 2024, averaging one launch every three days."
| **Point of Curiosity** | Starting with the phenomenon to raise the core question, expressed in conversational language | "I'm really curious, how can rocket launches become a business? Let's talk about that today."
**Key Principles**:
❌ Avoid starting with abstract concepts (such as "the nature of business" or "the innovator's dilemma").
❌ Do not assume the audience has background knowledge (e.g., "We mentioned earlier...")
❌ Avoid using clichéd expressions like "There's been a really exaggerated news story lately."
✅ Consider the scenario of "stopping while scrolling through a video": The viewer may have just seen related news and is curious...
✅ The language should have a low barrier to entry, so that even people who are completely unfamiliar with it can be attracted.
### 2. Narration Rhythm: Segmented + Breathing
A solo broadcast cannot be done in one breath; it needs to be rhythmic.
**Typical Structure**:
plaintext
[Hook Paragraph] 150-200 words, raising a point of curiosity.
[Transitional sentence] "To understand this problem, we must first understand one thing."
[Core Paragraph 1] 200-250 words, clearly explain the first key point, including: definition → data → metaphor → summary
[Transition sentence] "At this point, you might ask..."
[Core Paragraph 2] 200-250 words, clearly explain the second key point.
[Transition sentence] "But that's not all, there's something even more interesting..."
[Core Paragraph 3] 150-200 words, clearly explain the third key point.
[Concluding Paragraph] 100-150 words, summarizing and providing insights.
```
✅ Each paragraph should clearly explain one point; do not mix them up.
✅ Use transitional sentences to connect paragraphs, letting the audience know "what's going to be said next".
✅ Transition sentences also serve as "breath stops," giving the audience time to process the information.
### 3. Logical Flow: Hooks - Response Consistency
The points of curiosity raised at the beginning must be addressed one by one in the main text.
The introduction poses three questions, which must be answered in order in the main body of the text.
- You can't start by saying A, but then jump to B in the main text.
- ⚠️ After revising the opening, the logic of the entire text must be re-examined; simply changing the first paragraph is insufficient.
### 4. Metaphorical Standard: Down-to-earth
Using everyday scenarios as metaphors lowers the barrier to understanding.
✅ A good analogy:
- "1 million units shipped from Taobao store" → This indicates rockets are too expensive
- "Several times the cost of international air freight" → Explain future costs
- "Courier business" → Explain the business model
❌ Avoid using technical jargon or abstract concepts in metaphors.
### 5. Word Count Control: Priority for Deletion
When the script exceeds 1200 words, it should be shortened according to the following priority:
1. Remove overly detailed supplementary explanations (such as explanations of the source of certain data).
2. Delete paragraphs that are not strongly related to the core point of curiosity.
3. Merge redundant arguments
**Must be retained:** Opening hook, core data, key metaphors, and concluding climax.

## Script Body
Nokia is in the news again, not for a comeback, but for selling its headquarters building. The giant, once holding over 40% of the global mobile phone market share, can't even keep its headquarters building.
You might think that Nokia died because it didn't innovate. But the truth is quite the opposite—Nokia consistently invested heavily in research and development, and they already possessed many of the technologies needed for smartphones.
So here's the question: if it wasn't a lack of innovation, why did it still fail? Let's talk about that today.
---
There's a classic theory behind this called the "innovator's dilemma."
Simply put: large companies are so successful that they become enslaved by their own success.
How do we understand this? Think about it: Nokia made a fortune with feature phones back in the day, with incredibly high profit margins. If they were to switch to smartphones now, their profits would plummet in the short term, shareholders wouldn't agree, and management wouldn't dare take the risk.
So their choice was to continue optimizing feature phones, maximizing their existing advantages. The result? The iPhone came out, the market changed drastically, and by the time Nokia realized what was happening, it was too late.
---
At this point, you might ask: Why don't they just do both, selling feature phones and making smartphones at the same time?
Theoretically possible, but practically impossible.
The resource allocation logic of large companies is: resources are allocated to whichever business is more profitable. In the early days of smartphones, the market was small and profits were low, so it was impossible to secure resources within the company.
It's like asking someone earning a million-dollar annual salary to start their own business and telling them they might not earn a single penny in the first three years—almost no one would be willing to do it.
Kodak was in the same boat. They invented digital camera technology, but because film was so profitable, they couldn't internally promote the digital business. Ultimately, others profited from digital cameras, while Kodak went bankrupt.
---
Is there a solution to this dilemma?
Yes, but it's difficult.
The most effective approach is to spin off the new business independently, preventing it from competing with the existing business for resources. Let the new team operate like a startup, rather than engaging in cutthroat competition within a large corporate structure.
That's how Amazon's AWS came to be. Back then, Bezos spun off the cloud computing team, giving it sufficient autonomy so it wouldn't have to compete with the e-commerce business for resources. As a result, AWS has now become Amazon's most profitable business.
---
So you see, when large companies fail to innovate, it's often not because their technology or talent is lacking, but because their organizational structure and incentive mechanisms lock them in.
The next time you see an industry giant fall, don't rush to say, "They were too arrogant." The truth might be: they were too successful, so successful that they couldn't let go of the past.
This also offers some insights for ordinary people like us: sometimes, your greatest strength is precisely your greatest burden.
