Chapter 261 If I Play the Card of Wang Xin of Kuaibo,

Chapter 261 If I play the card of Wang Xin of Kuaibo, how should you respond?

Promote the formalization of online videos, attach importance to online audio-visual copyrights, clear up the chaos of piracy in the industry, and guide the market towards formalization.

This should be the biggest, most influential, and most changing thing that Wu Yuan has decided to do since he woke up from his dream!

There is no way.

If the rampant pirated resources on the Internet and the unhealthy trend of major online video platforms not caring about copyrights are not corrected in advance.

Then he can't build a video platform like Netflix or Disney+ in the mainland based on its own self-made dramas and copyright libraries.

Let him follow the trend and build a video platform like Youteng Ai, which started with pirated resources. Maybe it will be much easier in the early stage, but after 2012, when the Internet giants with deep pockets enter the market and start the copyright war, he can't afford to play this kind of money-burning game.

Only now, when both Alibaba and Penguin are still busy developing themselves and have no time or money to develop a pan-entertainment strategy, can we guide the mainland Internet audio-visual copyright to be formalized, and Guangying Times can build its own streaming media platform first.

Because there are several Internet giants now, Alibaba is still busy developing its own e-commerce, Penguin's dream of 300 million mice has not yet become the company's cash cow, and Baidu is still competing with other search engines such as Soso and Sogou for the market.

Even if the mainland's online video industry is formalized, these three companies have no money to make movies and TV shows, and they haven't even figured out their own one-third of an acre of land.

Wu Yuan only needs to compete with platforms such as Tudou and Youku that are also just starting to develop.

Wu Yuan, who has a little over $1 billion and the copyright of his own movies and TV series, is too rich and powerful in front of these two startups that haven't even raised round B financing!

Wu Yuan thought about it and only by relying on this time difference method can he seize a piece of the streaming media platform market before the Internet giants enter the market.

While the three Internet giants were still busy fighting with other competitors in their core areas, Wu Yuan first spent money to buy copyrights, make self-made dramas, and build his own streaming platform to defeat Youku and Tudou.

Seven or eight years later, the three Internet giants integrated their resources and began to think about entering other markets. The streaming platform of Guangying Era was already the largest video website on the Internet.

Even if the three giants had money and spent billions and billions to compete with Wu Yuan for copyrights, it would not be so easy for latecomers to kill the first-mover leader.

However, the premise of all these ideas is that he must push the National Copyright Administration to start a comprehensive crackdown on online piracy in 2008!

Only in this way can he gain six or seven years of development time!

And to achieve this, in Wu Yuan's layout, the role of the web drama "Soul Ferry" is crucial!

All layouts must be based on the explosive online broadcast effect of this web drama!

As it is now, all kinds of movies and TV series are making a lot of money on TV stations and cinemas, so piracy is rampant on the Internet. The loss of benefits is actually not that big, and even many people have not noticed that this benefit has been damaged.

"The two new actors are very obedient. The company arranged a TV series, and they signed without saying a word."

"Director Liu is a little worried. He doesn't want to make TV series, but wants to continue making movies. He is a little hesitant about the project "Soul Ferry."

Li Xiaoping reported seriously. She actually didn't understand why Wu Yuan asked Liu Meichuan to make a TV series, and it was a TV series that was not broadcast on the stars and was planned to be broadcast on the Internet.

Now all the practitioners in the industry have no concept of "web drama".

In everyone's eyes, of course, the only option for making TV series is to broadcast on TV stations. Other TV stations buy dramas for hundreds of thousands per episode, which is real money.

Broadcast on the Internet?

Who can give a price of hundreds of thousands for this episode?

And the influence is completely different. There are tens of millions of people watching on TV stations, but how many users do online platforms have?

Moreover, due to the current network bandwidth, the video clarity of the network platform cannot be compared with that of a TV set.

It can be said that broadcasting TV series online now is harmful and has no benefits.

Wu Yuan insisted on promoting such a project. As the actual person in charge of the company, Li Xiaoping did not understand and did not support it.

"Director Wu, I have investigated that the speed of popularization of Internet bandwidth in our country is not fast, and it is generally only about 1M. If you watch videos online, a video is several hundred MB, which is very high for the bandwidth load of most netizens and cannot be watched smoothly."

"This is because the picture quality is not clear enough. If you want to watch a clearer picture, a movie is several GB, and it is not realistic to play it online. You can only download it in advance."

"It is also because of this that piracy of Internet video resources is rampant. Various videos are spread on the Internet by downloading them locally, which is easy to share with others."

"On several websites that do online on-demand, the general experience of netizens is not very good, and there are frequent freezes."

"Are we too anxious to broadcast the drama online now? For the project of "Soul Ferry", why don't we broadcast it on TV first and then broadcast it online? This is safer."

"On TV?" Wu Yuan rolled his eyes: "With the content of this TV series, it is impossible to be approved for broadcast."

"We can only broadcast online. Now the radio and television have no regulations or clauses for online broadcasting of TV series, let alone censorship issues. The scale is relatively casual, so we can take advantage of this loophole."

"Forget about satellite broadcasting."

"As for the worry that the bandwidth is not enough and users cannot order online videos?"

Wu Yuan's mouth curled up slightly, and he stood up and invited: "Mr. Li, come on, I'll take you to see someone."

"Ah?" Li Xiaoping held back her persuasion, followed Wu Yuan out of the office, came to the elevator, and took the elevator to the 16th floor.

"I rented a small half-floor office area on the 16th floor, and the company's streaming website team was arranged here."

Wu Yuan said as he led Li Xiaoping inside: "This team is amazing."

"Although it is only a startup team of less than 5 people, their leader is very powerful."

Li Xiaoping knew that Wu Yuan had poached a video team, but she had never met them.

Because of this video team and the subsequent establishment of the "Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast" streaming video platform, Wu Yuan plans to completely separate from the film production company and will be an independent Internet company.

"Don't worry, after the company makes "Soul Ferry", I will let [Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast] buy the exclusive online broadcast rights of this TV series at a reasonable market price, and the film and television company will not suffer any loss."

"As for your concerns about the problem of unsmooth online broadcasting, the inability to set off a viewing craze, and insufficient influence, I will let another person answer you."

With Li Xiaoping, Wu Yuan pushed open the door of an office.

A young man with glasses, a lean figure, and a crew cut was typing away at a pile of computers.

"Mr. Wang, are you busy?"

Hearing Wu Yuan's voice, Wang Xin, who was busy, immediately turned his head and stood up in surprise: "Director Wu, why are you here?"

Although he is two years older than Wu Yuan, he is a little embarrassed in front of Wu Yuan.

After all, Wu Yuan is too well-known. With the blessing of fame, plus Wu Yuan is now his boss, the perception is different.

"Mr. Wang, this is Mr. Li Xiaoping from our Light and Shadow Era. She will be responsible for the production of the first online exclusive drama of [Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast]."

"You will cooperate for a period of time in the future. I would like to introduce you to each other now."

After explaining to Wang Xin, Wu Yuan turned around and introduced Wang Xin to Li Xiaoping.

He specifically found this guy from a headhunting company.

Originally, after resigning from Shanda, Wang Xin was developing a software called [Quick Broadcast] in a private house of only more than 10 square meters in Shenzhen, planning to start his second business.

After the headhunting company came to him, Wu Yuan contacted him.

With his usual style of spending money, Wu Yuan quickly recruited this great talent in the field of online video.

The conditions he offered were very generous.

They cooperated to establish an online streaming media company called [Light and Shadow Quick Broadcast]. Wang Xin invested in the company with technology, holding 20% ​​of the original shares, and was the company's chief technology officer with an annual salary of 1.2 million.

Wang Xin, who was only 27 years old this year, had no experience of being hit by so much money. He was stunned on the spot and immediately agreed to the invitation. He did not start a business and came to Beijing with his team to work for Wu Yuan.

No, he, who owned 20% of the original shares, was also a partner of the company and worked for himself.

The reason why Wu Yuan valued Wang Xin was, of course, because he was one of the best in the field of P2P playback technology in China!

[Quick Broadcast], a software that was regretted by countless LSPs in later generations, was born based on P2P playback technology.

Although Wang Xin was eventually imprisoned because of this software, there is no good or bad technology, but the bad thing is the way it is used!

In 2008, Quick Broadcast was launched.

It only took 4 years, and after 2011, "Quick Broadcast" has become the player with the largest market share in the country.

In September 2012, the total number of "Qvod" installations exceeded 300 million, and as of June of that year, the number of Chinese netizens was 538 million.

Tudou and Youku are all younger brothers in front of Qvod!

Why do so many netizens choose to use Qvod?

It is because this software is really easy to use!

It is super fast to download various pornographic videos. Other players take several hours to download, but Qvod only takes 20 minutes to download.

Moreover, when others are still using Soulu and Xunlei to seek seeds everywhere and download various .AVI videos bit by bit, Qvod can already be played on demand online!

And the online on-demand videos are still very smooth, without any lag!

Its video on-demand and download based on P2P technology are far ahead of its domestic counterparts!

With such technical strength, it is a waste to stay here and make a player for playing pornographic videos!

Although Wang Xin's original intention was definitely not like this, he wanted to bring netizens a faster and more convenient video watching software.

But the final result was that he was thrown into jail, and his company and software were blocked.

Compared to this outcome, it would be better to recruit him earlier to build a streaming media platform for Wu Yuan.

To build a streaming media platform, excellent P2P playback technology is needed!

"Mr. Wang, Ms. Li doesn't know much about P2P playback technology, you can introduce it to her." Wu Yuan said to Wang Xin with a chuckle.

Wang Xin, who had had a good time chatting and laughing with Chen Tianqiao, the boss of Shanda, certainly would not be stage-frightened.

He brought Li Xiaoping to his computer, pointed at the screen and said: "P2P playback technology has great advantages in video playback."

"The first advantage is to save server bandwidth, which is a well-known advantage of p2p technology."

"In short, the more people use it and the more people download it, the faster it will be. Moreover, users share each other's resources, and will not download all the server bandwidth according to the traditional way, thus saving bandwidth."

"The second advantage is that it can download from multiple sources."

"This is often overlooked by people. If users use ordinary http, they usually download from a single server. If this server is relatively Slow, he can only endure it. "

"But if it is a p2p system, the p2p backend can have multiple servers, for example, we buy more than 10 American servers, the bandwidth is cheap, and there is no limit on the flow."

"In this mode, the download is downloaded from more than 10 servers together, the speed is still fast, and even if one server goes down, it will not affect the download at all. This is actually a great benefit of p2p. "

"Even when the server is in operation and maintenance, the online and offline will not have any impact on the user, and the user can still continue to enjoy online video viewing. "

"Another advantage that is very important to your film and television industry is that P2P technology has a natural anti-hotlink. "

"P2P protocol such as If you don't use the standard BT protocol, you can completely customize some private transmission protocols. "

"With this protocol, users can hardly steal your resources unless they write a p2p software with the same protocol, so this aspect is much better than HTTP."

"Therefore, using P2P for video playback, especially for video resources that need to protect copyright, is more effective."

"We make a transmission protocol based on P2P software, so other websites can't steal our resources. Although we can't say that piracy is completely eliminated, it will increase the cost and complexity of piracy."

"Finally, there is another advantage, that is, for operators, using P2P technology can reduce costs. . "

"Unlike the ordinary http mode, p2p servers do not necessarily need to be placed in high-quality computer rooms, and only a small number of them can be placed in computer rooms."

"Many servers can use low-cost servers in the United States. 1G bandwidth costs more than 1,000 yuan a month, which is cheaper than many domestic computer rooms."

"It can be said that P2P video playback technology was born for online network video platforms. In fact, this technology is also widely used in various online video services in the United States."

"It's just that in China, few people use this technology. Everyone is still using the very old http mode to transmit videos, which causes online on-demand videos to be very stuck."

"This old technology should have been eliminated long ago!"
