Rebirth of the Thousand-Faced Movie King

"Brin, Chen Shijun really wants to leave?"

"Yes."

"Pity."

"It's not a pity. Although Chen Shijun has left, most of the management of Baitobe are still there."

After Google took over, it didn't make many changes.

Everything will still be operated according to the original management of Lutobe.

But the addition of Google still brought great benefits to Lutobe.

Not just in terms of traffic, but also in terms of funds.

However, although the scale of Lutobe has reached nearly 70%, the competition is obviously more intense.

A series of companies such as Yahoo, Microsoft, and America Online have successively launched their own video services.

After lamenting that Chen Shijun completely left Lutobe, Brin and Page studied these competitors.

"If Chen Shijun leaves, just leave. We won't discuss it. Let's talk about Microsoft's MSN Video and Yahoo Video."

"MSN Video Network and AOL Video are not our opponents for the time being, but Yahoo should be more careful."

"I also feel that Yahoo has poached many of our Internet celebrities."

Brin also nodded: "And they have portals and search engines to support them, but we have a greater advantage in luring tobe. At the same time, they have not accumulated enough content in terms of content, so they do not pose much threat to us for the time being."

"What about Huanyu Technology? Has their friend network taken any action?"

"Friends.com doesn't seem to have any plans to enter the video business."

"strangeness."

Page shook his head: "There's something wrong here. It's impossible for Friends.com not to get into the video field."

The reason why Chen Yu was able to raise the price before was because the two of them agreed that Friends.com would definitely enter the video business.

So even if they knew that Chen Yu was raising the price, they still had to take down the lure.

Otherwise, if the lure falls into the hands of friends, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But now there is something strange. Why hasn't Friends.com launched a video service?

You know, the traffic of their friend network is not much lower than that of Google.

In terms of user stickiness, Friends.com’s stickiness is undoubtedly higher than that of Google.

Normally, the video service launched by Friends.com is more lethal than the video service launched by Yahoo.

After some investigation, the two found the answer.

It’s not that Friends.com didn’t enter the video field, but that Huanyu Technology changed its approach.

They launched a separate website called Huanyu Video.

This website is separate from Friends Network and does not belong to Friends Network.

“You don’t need such a good resource, but you want to build a new website?”

"Did Huanyu Technology overestimate its own strength?"

Both of them are a bit confused.

If it were them, they would definitely use the advantages of Friends.com to launch video services.

Just like they will use Google's advantages to launch video business.

Although their Google Video didn't take off, it did develop very quickly in the beginning.

But if you build a brand new website, although Google can secretly support the new website, since it is not the same company, the operation is naturally much more troublesome. Moreover, Google is a listed company and cannot secretly transfer benefits or anything like that.

However, although they were extremely surprised, the two of them knew what was going on.

It's just that Huanyu Technology doesn't want to share its benefits with other capital of Friends Network.

"Oh, Huanyu Technology has a good idea. Do they really think they can make a successful video website?"

Bryn snorted and said.

"Don't underestimate Huanyu Technology. Let's study their website first."

"Too."

The two of them did not dare to be careless.

No matter what Huanyu Technology does, both of them are wary of Huanyu Technology.

In particular, Huanyu Technology's dominant position in China further proves the power of Huanyu Technology.

Although Huanyu Technology is slightly weaker in the global Internet field, this weakness is relatively limited.

If Friends.com develops for a few more years, it may not become a giant on par with Google.

"Page, what is the use of these short videos of about 15 seconds?"

The layout of Huanyu Video Network is similar to that of other video websites.

The website has successively launched some original video websites, and also added video categories.

Game commentary, news commentary, life videos... these.

These things were previously not involved in seduction.

Moreover, in order to improve the treatment of original video users, they not only subsidized these video users, but also launched a reward function.

This feature makes both Brin and Page feel good.

Through this kind of reward for original videos, users can not only get more revenue, but also accumulate more die-hard fans.

Both of them had a tacit understanding of this, and they would soon decide to copy this function.

Apart from this function, Huanyu Video does not have many highlights.

Although they added video categories.

But Huanyu Video can increase, can’t Luo Tobe?

Speaking of original users and browsing users, who can lure tobe better than them?

There are nearly 100,000 videos every day, which brings a steady stream of various videos to Baitobe.

Although Yutobe once focused on funny videos, it was just to attract users.

Now, they can completely diversify their development and try their best to catch all users from all walks of life.

However, despite this analysis, a 15-second video in Huanyu Video made them extremely strange.

This setting should be said to be the biggest difference between Huanyu Video and them.

At first they thought this 15-second video was the best part, but when they looked at it later, they found that it was not.

15 seconds is just a short video of 15 seconds.

He's not very good, and he's not very attractive either.

He also doesn't have a lot of idiosyncrasies.

There are a lot of boring videos out there.

He looked like a messed up video from a kid.

There are no very clear pictures, no editing, and some of them even have poor sound.

In short, it is this kind of video with nothing to watch that is promoted by them.

"Brin, do you think these 15-second short videos are good to watch?"

"It doesn't look very good."

"Then why does this kind of video become their key promotion channel?"

"Well...who knows."

Brin smacked his lips and watched a few videos again.

Same as previous judgment.

It's really boring and nothing interesting.

You see, they even recommend videos of aunties dancing.

Brin admired how these aunts had the idea to record videos.

Do these aunts think they are beautiful?

Or, do these aunts think there is something attractive about dancing?

Even if it’s to watch dancing.

Can't you have someone with a hot body?

However, what Brin admires more is Huanyu Technology.

These junk videos are actually regarded as treasures by them and are highly recommended.

There are also a series of comments below, and a lot of them have been read. It is really hard to do so.

Naturally, these messages are not fake.

This is normal for some user comments.

But for those who don’t want to believe it, even if you say that these messages are not fake, the other party will not want to believe it. Just like Brin and Page, they don't want to believe that these videos of aunts dancing have any appeal.

Well, actually the two of them had some misunderstandings about Huanyu Video.

Of course, this is also related to the initial launch of big data.

Big data itself cannot completely know your interests right away. The classic thing about big data is that the more you use big data, the better it will know about you. Even after using it later, big data will know you better than you know yourself. Brin and Page only entered Huanyu Video for the first time, and they did not use their friends.com account to transfer data to Huanyu Video with one click.

Therefore, at the beginning, big data was not completely able to determine the preferences of this user.

So, here is the aunt dancing video that is not very reasonable.

In fact, it’s not like no one watches auntie’s dancing videos.

It’s just that the audience is different.

If no one really watches the auntie dancing, the system will not recommend such videos.

Among certain groups, videos of aunties dancing really attract a lot of people.

"It seems we overestimated Huanyu Technology."

"Well, although Huanyu Technology has good capabilities, it can't enter into all businesses."

"But his reward function is good, we can still learn from it."

"Yes."

The two nodded.

After some research, except for Yahoo Video, which has some competitiveness, everything else is average.

This also made both of them breathe a sigh of relief.

The advantages of Lutobe are not easily matched by these websites.

Needless to say, their temptation will not stop there.

After a period of time, Brin and Page did not pay much attention to Huanyu Video.

Or sometimes, even if I remember it and accidentally enter the Huanyu video website, I just take a casual look and close it.

Because just like before, they still didn't find anything interesting about Huanyu's video.

But the 15-second video just hangs there.

They didn't bother to remind Huanyu Video of its stupid behavior.

However, what they didn't know was that while they were not paying much attention, the 15-second short videos in Huanyu Video were gaining more and more popularity.

At first, these users, like Bryn Page, felt that such a 15-second video was stupid. How could so many people shoot such boring videos?

However, many people have too much boring time.

For example, what should you do if you are bored during work hours?

Playing games for fear of being discovered.

Some other movies took too long to watch.

There is nothing interesting to chat with people for the time being.

It's better to watch short videos.

Although these short videos are boring, they are still good to pass the time.

And although they know that these videos are boring, when they watch them more, for some reason, some of them suddenly seem to like these videos.

They don't know what it is, and they can't tell what the reason is.

In short, once they get used to watching such short videos, they simply cannot stop.

"Let's go, brothers, I seem to have been poisoned recently."

"What's the poison?"

"I was poisoned by the Huanyu video."

"Why are you poisoned?"

"I don't know why. Damn it, I feel like I'm mentally retarded. I know clearly that these short videos don't have much value. Some of them are still moaning in vain, and some of them have very touching IQs. But I just I brush it every day. No, I accidentally brushed it for two hours just now."

How time passes while watching videos is a question that many people have been looking for.

It seems that these short videos are very short, only about 15 seconds.

But I can’t stop you from scrolling through one short video after another.

After dozens or hundreds of short videos were constantly posted, it became normal for a few hours to pass.

"I'm so stupid. It's over. I'm poisoned just like you."

"No way, you also watch these short videos every day?"

"That's right. I've been bored at work lately, so I've been watching a lot of videos. Then I don't know why, but even when I'm extremely busy at work, when I occasionally have some free time, I'm crazy about watching these videos."

"Holy shit, this website is so evil."

There are many such phenomena.

As long as they watch these short videos too much, they will never be able to leave.

However, these users who watch videos are not just watching videos.

The more they brushed it, the more they took their own videos.

Unlike other long videos, shooting a long video is really troublesome.

Not only is it troublesome, many users don’t have this technology.

After all, it’s difficult to shoot long videos, and they also have to be edited, so where is the time?

But it’s much easier to shoot a short video of about 15 seconds.

Even if one shot is not good, I will take two shots; if two shots are not good, I will take three shots.

Anyway, one shot only takes about 15 seconds, and even if you take dozens of shots, it only takes a few minutes.

In this way, these users who are actually watching videos have also become video uploaders.

While they watch the video, they also become participants in the video production.

Don’t think that this level of participation is low and can only attract a small number of people.

Not really.

As long as they watch videos frequently, more than half of them will want to take a video and upload it.

Moreover, some people don’t just take one photo, sometimes they take dozens of photos a day.

This behavior is so normal.

Because it is very easy to take video on the phone, you can take it as long as you want in 15 seconds.

And there are no regulations on what to shoot.

You can take pictures of whatever you want, even if it's just boring-looking stares.

Don’t think that no one will watch such boring videos.

No no no.

There are many more boring people in this world than you.

You are so bored that you want to take a video, but others can't be bored and watch you.

Especially when someone likes your video, follows it, or leaves a message and replies, it’s like you’ve been given a shot of blood.

This interactive experience is so wonderful that you suddenly end up taking dozens of videos.

In this way, this also greatly increases the number of original videos of Huanyu Video.

Originally, they had just built the website and didn’t have many videos. Under normal circumstances, they could only do some work of accumulating videos in the early stage. And this work takes a long time. After all, it is an original content platform, and content creation takes the most time.

But with the participation of thousands of users, tens of thousands of videos were posted in one day.

Such a terrifying speed lure is unimaginable.

Even for them, it took almost half a year and strong channel promotion by Google to come up with it.

But in Huanyu Video, in less than half a month, their daily uploaded videos exceeded 50,000.

However, this is just the beginning.

When the number of videos uploaded per day exceeded 50,000, Huanyu Video launched a video forwarding campaign.

This activity is considered normal operation for many websites.

Because in order to promote their own websites and attract more IP flows, many websites will make forwarding connections.

But generally the links forwarded by such websites do not have much effect.

Many people don't like to click on such forwarding links.

However, once the number of reposts suddenly increases by 10 times, 100 times, or even 1,000 times.

Then, you will find how terrifying the IP flow caused by this forwarding is.

"Brothers, I posted a video on Huanyu Video. Please help me pay attention to it."

"Handsome guy, this is a video I posted. Please support me."

"The video I just took today, please give it a thumbs up."

How did the forwarding volume increase?

It's actually hard to get up.

Even if many websites carry out activities, this amount cannot be increased.

However, Huanyu Video is an anomaly.

The reason why its forwarding volume is 10 times, 100 times, and 1,000 times that of other websites is entirely because Huanyu Video has turned more viewers into video original creators.

As introduced before.

Most users who watch videos later become video uploaders.

This ratio reached an astonishing 3:1.

In other words, out of 3 browsing users, 1 will upload.

This is a scary statistic.

You know, even if it is to lure Tobe, he seems to have 10 million IP streams.

But in fact, 1 million original users of real videos may not be enough, and even 500,000 is enough.

A series of videos on Luthful are produced by a small number of people and then sent to countless users for viewing.

But it's different in Huanyu Video.

Users are both viewers and participants.

Therefore, his volume became surprisingly explosive.

Moreover, their forwarding power is also more powerful.

After all, I am reposting the video I took, and I also want to get more people's replies and attention.

At the same time, Huanyu Video also launched things that are valuable to fans.

If you forward it, you can get followers.

The more fans you have, the more popular you are.

Not to mention that this popularity will help me become an Internet celebrity in the future, but it would also be good to have more fans to show off.

…

"Brin, I'm sorry."

"Huanyu Video IP streams suddenly exploded and are now reaching 3 million."

Google founder Page was a little nervous.

Huanyu Video, which I didn’t pay much attention to before, has already reached one-third of Lutobe’s IP flow in just half a month. You know, Huanyu Video is a new website, it started from scratch. Generally, it takes at least a year for a website like this that starts from scratch to reach one million IP flows.

In other words, he was awesome for a year.

A series of websites cannot achieve 1 million IP streams in a lifetime.

"Oh my God, why is it so fast?"

Brin was also confused: "Are there any errors in the data?"

"No."

Page stared at the Huanyu video website and said seriously: "Not only has the number of IP visits exceeded 3 million, but his average daily video uploads have exceeded 70,000. At their rate, within a month, Their video upload volume will exceed that of ours."

Even now, the average number of video uploads on Lutobe is only 100,000 per day.

In fact, 100,000 is already terrifying.

You know, the capacity of 100,000 videos alone requires hundreds or even thousands of gigabytes of hard drive storage every day.
