But in the world of Xiaokaxiu (小咖秀), a lip-syncing video-making app, you can be the star of your own show, if only for a minute. Xiaokaxiu allows users to act out scenes in their favorite TV shows, using the shows soundtrack(电影配音) instead of their own voice. The single-function app is easy to pick up. All you need to do is choose from a list of soundtracks, from the latest TV series like The Journey of Flower (花千骨) and the reality TV program Dad, Where Are We Going?. Then, make sure your face is in the camera frame and hit “Start”. Up to 1.2 million videos are created each day on Xiaokaxiu. But that doesnt stop the apps team from planning for the future, in order to avoid sharing the short-lived fame of other “fast food apps”.
