My Animation Era

Perak Perak barrage video website was established in 2009, while Wanbao Video was established in 2011.

Due to its early establishment and good community atmosphere, even though Wanbao Video has been catching up in the past two years, its user base is still an order of magnitude behind.

Why does the other party have lower playback volume?

Is there a problem with the quality of the work?

The possibility of this is very low and basically impossible. You must know that Pili Pili and Wanbao Video are "competitors". How can the quality of the works promoted by them be poor?

After all, this is a fight!

Both websites are competing for users. At this critical juncture, the quality of the animation works promoted by the website is definitely among the best in the same period.

As for the anime called "Reincarnated as a Prince, This Country Is All Girls Except Me", Gu Miao also watched the first episode.

It feels okay.

It cannot be said to be better than "The Starting Elf, I Was Confessed by the Elf Leader", but the two should be on the same level, and there is no gap between them.

Then there is a problem with the playback volume.

After ruling out various external factors, Gu Miao learned the answer from the technical department.

The algorithm is different!

That's right! The calculation method of video playback volume on Perak Perak is different from that on Wanbao Video.

To be more precise, Wanbao Video website is not rigorous enough here. As long as the user clicks on the video, whether he watches it for 1 second or 1 hour, it will be counted as one playback amount.

This creates a lot of moisture.

On the other hand, competitors place more emphasis on the "completion rate" data. In other words, the calculation of playback volume requires the user to "watch this video" or "watch more than half of it".

"This is good, you can learn it."

After Gu Miao learned the truth of the matter, he immediately asked the technical team to upgrade Wanbao Video's existing play volume algorithm to remove excess water and make the data more intuitive and reliable.

The technical team is also very capable.

After receiving Mr. Gu's instructions, he quickly came up with a new playback algorithm. And based on this algorithm, the playback volume of the animation "Starting Initial Wizard" was recalculated.

The results showed that 7.682 million!

"Phew! I was scared to death..."

Lao Zhang said with fear on the side: "I thought that if we remove the water content, our playback volume will be cut in half, leaving only about half! Unexpectedly, after updating the algorithm, there are still more than 7 million."

"This gap is still acceptable."

Gu Miao is also very satisfied. Judging from the number of views, as the main animation of the website, the gap between Wanbao Video and Pili Pili has become smaller and smaller.

It can even be said that the number of users of the two companies is almost the same.

This is definitely good news.

You know, there are only so many fans and users on the entire network who like two-dimensional animation works. If Wanbao Video wants to develop, it must eat up the share of its friends.

Now, Wanbao Video started from scratch, relying on Wanbao Animation's many popular and phenomenal animation works, and has accumulated so many users. The contribution of friends and businessmen is definitely not low.

"But Mr. Gu..."

Although Lao Zhang was also very optimistic about the future prospects of Wanbao Video, he said very painfully: "You will lose too much by running this kind of website!"

It has been two years since Wanbao Video was established.

During these two years, almost every quarter and every month of each year was in a state of net loss. And the amount of losses is getting higher year by year.

Previously, Gu Miao continued to dilute his shares and introduced multiple strategic investors.

The idea is good.

Including Mr. Tan, Mr. Lao Xiong and others, they all invested a little token money in Wanbao Video and became shareholders.

However, as the website's losses increase, there is no hope of making a profit, and listing is no longer in sight. These shareholders have the idea of ​​"withdrawing their capital."

"This boy named Gu, despite his honest appearance, is full of evil..."

Mr. Xiong was cursing. As a shareholder, he said mercilessly at the last board meeting: "Big guys trust you and invest in your company. But you are losing money every month and every year. When will your losses end?" ?”

"Give me the money, I won't play anymore..."

"It doesn't cost you money, it costs your life! Mr. Daxiong has been in the industry for so many years, you haven't heard this sentence before, right?" Gu Miao chuckled, "Investment is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry!"

"What's more, if we lose money, others will lose money too! Which of these companies that run video websites is not losing money while accumulating users?"

Worried that Wanbao Video's losses year after year, with the amount getting higher year by year, would scare away these unjust investors, Gu Miao gave them a warning.

"Three years! We will lose money for another three years at most. When we secure the top spot in the domestic two-dimensional video website, we will go to the market to help you regain your blood."

To be honest, Gu Miao also felt distressed.

His money was not blown by strong winds. It was losing money every month and every year. He had no hope of endless investment, and he became panicked as time went by.

the most important is……

As for video websites, to be honest, it is really difficult to make a profit. In the previous life, Bilibili could only make money by tinkering with "mobile games" and "membership purchases"?

Even so, he still couldn't make ends meet, losing money every year and the stock price dropped to the point where his mother disowned him.

In comparison, Wanbao Video is better.

Although it is also losing money, since the website mainly focuses on "self-made animation" and does not spend too much money to purchase copyrights, the loss is still within the acceptable range.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang!"

Patting Lao Zhang's shoulder lightly, Gu Miao said firmly: "Don't worry about the shareholders, I have already done some ideological work for them."

"As for losses, we can afford it anyway, so let's lose money. Everyone is losing money, it just depends on who can have the last laugh."

"That's true..."

Lao Zhang nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said with a troubled expression: "By the way, Mr. Gu, I almost forgot to mention it. There seems to be an animation investment company established in Perak and Perak."

Do they also make homemade animations?

It’s absolutely amazing!

I have heard before that PILIPILI seems to be interested in developing animation production. Gu Miao had always thought it was a rumor, but she didn't expect them to be serious.

Now, Wanbao Video is backed by Wanbao Animation and Beep Comics, and Penguin Video is backed by Meihua Animation, Penguin Novel Network, and Penguin Comics Network.

Perak Perak has also established an animation investment department, determined to make a big splash in the field of animation production...

Almost half of the domestic video websites have personally participated in animation production.

Competition is getting fiercer and fiercer!

Although for Wanbao, these video websites running across industries to engage in animation will probably not have any impact.

But Gu Miao is still looking forward to it.

What changes will these video websites and Internet capital bring to the Chinese animation industry when they enter the field of animation production?

It should be very lively!
