Millennium director

It would be absolutely ridiculous and impossible to advertise Qiyi Video's solo drama ten years later in the trailer on Youku Video.

But who said this is not an era where every platform is producing self-made dramas and creating its own video ecosystem.

Today's major video platforms are very loosely managed. Every individual user can upload videos on the website, which is known as network sharing.

It is also with the help of this "loophole" that major video platforms have a lot of pirated resources. The problem is that these are uploaded by users themselves and have nothing to do with the platform.

Although the platform also has a self-inspection mechanism, it only checks pornographic, violent, and bloody videos, and does not care about other videos.

Trailers for various movies and TV series are actively uploaded to these video platforms by fans or various producers.

Therefore, the trailer of "Soul Ferry" from the Light and Shadow Era is also mixed in, and has been uploaded to platforms such as Youku, Tudou, Ku6, and 6jianfang.

How could Wu Yuan, who is well aware of the tricks of later generations, not know about boosting views, a low-cost and effective method of exposure?

Easily, on major video platforms, the trailer of "Soul Ferry" rushed to the video click list and play list as soon as it was released, and then quickly attracted the attention of netizens.

The daily active users of several major video websites add up to several million people, and most of them will pay attention to the daily playlist, and they will see the trailer of "Soul Ferry" in no time.

Not only them, the managers and people in charge of several major video websites also discovered the trailer of "Soul Ferry" when it rushed to the rankings.

This makes them very embarrassed. Should this video be removed from the shelves or not?

Take it off the shelves. Website traffic will be lost a lot. After all, the advertisements brought about by the high click-through rate can be exchanged for money.

Don't take it off the shelves. This seems to be a promotional video for an external website. It seems a bit inappropriate to have it posted on the homepage of our website so openly.

After some hesitation, the people in charge of some video websites decided to wait and see.

"Light and shadow broadcast?!"

This unknown and unknown video website appeared in the public eye for the first time.

Both the heads of major platforms and netizens who were curious about the drama "Soul Ferry" after seeing this trailer searched for this software.

Soon, everyone found the official website of Light and Shadow Kuaibo.

A video website that is more concise and user-friendly than all current video website pages appears in front of everyone.

Of course, the most eye-catching one is the “Player Download” page at the top of the homepage.

To use P2P breakpoint resuming technology, it is best to use player software now. This is why all the fast broadcasts in history were players and there was no web on-demand.

However, Wu Yuan still asked Wang Xin to make the web page of Guangying Qvod this time. The design concept was completely copied from the mature video website page 10 years later.

Unfortunately, the on-demand videos currently provided on the website are only the film library resources of Hong Kong TVB, Golden Harvest, Shaw Brothers and other companies, as well as TV series and movies produced by Tang Dynasty and Light and Shadow Times.

Since Wu Yuan wants to accelerate the advent of the era of genuine Internet videos, he certainly cannot take the initiative to engage in piracy.

The resources in the library of Light and Shadow are all officially authorized, and they are master tapes taken directly from these companies, so there is absolutely nothing to say about the clarity.

Just because there is no software to use on the web page, the picture clarity cannot be compared with the software.

If you want to see a truly clear 720P picture, you still have to download software, use the software to watch videos on demand, and enjoy P2P video playback technology.

Yes, the highest-definition online on-demand video can only achieve 720P, and 1080P is still a luxury for the time being.

At the very least, we have to wait until 2010 before the bandwidth can support smooth 1080P playback.

Of course, this refers to the universal bandwidth rate. Users who specialize in private lines from telecommunications are not included in the general user group.

Don’t think that 720P won’t work.

Netizens who have experienced the 1080P or even 2K era will certainly find the 720P video picture very blurry.

But for those current netizens who are still stuck in the 360P era, being able to see 720P videos on the Internet is already a high-definition experience.

A little trivia: now, in 2008, the TV picture signal source is actually at the level of 720P.

It's just because everyone is one or two meters away from the TV when watching TV, so it feels very clear.

It's just like watching a computer. If you look at it close to your eyes, you will find that the TV picture is also blurry.

This is why the TV series at the beginning of the new millennium will be very blurry if you wait until 2020 to find resources on the Internet to watch them, even if they are genuine, if they are not repaired.

The native resolution is not high, so when viewed on a 1080P or 2K screen, it will of course be blurry.

In general, the player of Guangying Qvod now can provide stable 720P definition for watching TV series and movies, which can be said to be far ahead of its peers.

This advantage alone is enough for many netizens who like to watch dramas on their computers to choose to download and use Light and Shadow Quickcast.

“The video playback screen of this software is so high-definition!”

"What does 720P mean?"

"It seems to be an internationally recognized digital high-definition TV standard. The signal source of our TV is 720p. I heard that there is a more advanced one called 1080i, which is what the United States uses."

“It feels higher definition than the videos on websites like Youku and Tudou!”

"Guangying Kuaibo, is this video software made by Guangying Era?"

"Why are there so few movies? There are only a bunch of old Hong Kong dramas, TV series from the Light and Shadow Era, and Sugar Man. It's no use having clear pictures. There aren't even any of the latest TV series."

"It's a new software. The film library is definitely not that big. Let's download it first and take a look. Didn't I say that "Soul Ferry" will be online during the National Day? Looking at the trailer, this drama seems to be very good!"

"Hey, I discovered that Light and Shadow Qvod actually has resources to watch TVB's latest "Legal Pioneers 2", and it's in much higher definition than other platforms!"

"Also, the finale of "House of Heart-wrenching Storm" seems to be airing in another week, but Light and Shadow Express is airing simultaneously with Jade Channel!"

Wu Yuan asked Wang Xin to embed the forum area in the client, and it played a very good role immediately.

The first batch of netizens who learned about this software through the trailer, after downloading it, tried the video playback function of this software for a while, then happily registered an account and started chatting in the community forum.

The community forum page makes up for the current problem of Guangying Qvod’s lack of film library resources. Netizens can chat with netizens from all walks of life here and share their software experience without watching the drama.

The most outrageous thing is that Wu Yuan is helping websites such as Youku and Tudou this time.

As netizens who love watching dramas, they chatted in the user community, and the topic was of course inseparable from movies and TV dramas.

Inevitably, film and television resources on other platforms are also frequently mentioned in the user community of Guangying Kuaibo.

After a while, this user said that Tudou had newly launched the resources of "The Complete Biography of the Eight Immortals", starring Guo Jinan and Jia Qing, and it was very good to watch.

After a while, another user said that he had discovered the resources of "Detective Di Renjie Part 3" on Youku, and the fat Di Renjie and Li Yuanfang joined hands to investigate the case again.

After a while, another user said that there are resources for Taiwan's latest idol drama "Princess" on Ku6. He said that this is the most popular idol drama in Taiwan and it has not been broadcast in the mainland yet. I don't know if it is. Who got the DVD from Taiwan and came up with the resource.

All of a sudden, the user community of Guangying Kuaibo has become a place where film and television fans from all walks of life gather to chat.

This is a good thing and a bad thing.

Although it will attract some traffic to other platforms, at least because of the existence of this user community, even if Guangying Kuaibo does not have many film library resources now, a large number of users choose to keep this software, even if it is only used as a place to exchange TV series with other netizens Pretty good too.

Anyway, Wu Yuan and Wang Xin, who have been paying attention to the download volume of Guangying Qvod, are very happy.

In just half a day, the number of downloads of Guangying Kuaibo exceeded 500,000.

Moreover, the number of real-time online users in the background has remained above 200,000!

Among them, less than one-tenth of the users actually watch videos online, and the remaining 90% are all chatting with netizens from all over the world in the user community.

Sure enough, no matter what software it is, as long as it has social functions, it will eventually be completed by Chinese netizens.

For three consecutive days, the trailer of "Soul Ferry" was at the top of the click and play lists of mainstream video websites in the Mainland, earning a huge amount of exposure.

After three days of fermentation and internal discussions, websites such as Youku and Tudou finally took action and began to remove the trailer of "Soul Ferry" from the shelves.

The reason is simple: the video violates community rules.

As for what regulations were violated, don’t ask, I won’t tell you if I ask.

However, Wu Yuan is completely understandable about this. He has to thank these platforms for giving him three days of exposure.

In three days, through these trailers, Light and Shadow Kuaibo attracted a total of 4.52 million downloads, of which nearly half of the users uninstalled it after experiencing it after downloading.

But in the backend of Guangying Kuaibo, it is clearly recorded that there are currently 3.21 million registered users, and the number of daily active users exceeds 600,000!

In three days, there were 3 million registrations and 600,000 daily active users. This data is undoubtedly very eye-catching.

And with such a foundation, Light and Shadow Qvod and "Soul Ferry" no longer need to rely on other platforms. With these three million registered users, they can continue to spread the news of "Soul Ferry" to the outside world.

Even though the trailers have been removed from other platforms, Light and Shadow Kuaibo can still attract 100,000 to 300,000 new users to download and register every day!

Judging from this rate, by the time "Soul Ferry" is launched, Light and Shadow Kuaibo will have almost seven to eight million registered users, and at least one million daily active users!

This user base is enough to support the premiere of "Soul Ferry". Next, let's see if this TV series can ignite this small bonfire and burn the entire Chinese Internet! (End of chapter)
