Chapter 130. Tomato video also needs to be a barrage?
Fang Yuan, the leader in the Tomato Video Network headquarters and business departments in charge of animation and other business departments, has been unhappy recently.
Everything is because of fantasy electric animation, and it is because of Seo Rui.
Although the new work "Wolf and Cat" by Wu Yi director who was originally very imposing and could have won the five-year Animation Awards, it performed well and exceeded 100 million early on, both the discussion and the sales of the CD were all hung up by the "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" of Fantasy. From this perspective, the Animation of the Year is no longer the item in Rainbow Media's pocket, and there is a high possibility of accidents.
In addition, although Fang Yuan's plan to suppress Fantasy electric animation failed to broadcast "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" on other video websites, who would have thought that Xu Rui directly established a video website and attracted a large number of users with a comment method called barrage. In just a few months, Hatsune Video Network's daily active users were about to catch up with the daily active users in the animation area of Tomato Video Network. In terms of the quality of paid users, he was even beaten.
This is not what made Fang Yuan angry the most. Liu Xueyan resigned shortly after being transferred to the event group. Zhang Ke, the editor who took over the animation area, quickly followed him. At the same time, Liu Xueyan also took away a programmer from the technical department who had never even heard of Fang Yuan's name. The feeling of hanging you up and beating with someone you don't want is very uncomfortable.
Originally, the data analysis team under Fang Yuan also felt that "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" was just the best-selling level, and Hatsune Video Network's reputation on websites such as Ask and Ask are not very good, and it is very likely to fail. But who knew that a blizzard did not destroy the fantasy electric animation, but instead made "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan" a sales miracle, and Hatsune Video Network became a monster that Fang Yuan could not handle.
Simply put, Fang Yuan’s previous strategies failed.
He was held accountable, but it did not affect his status.
However, Fang Yuan was still a little lucky. Hatsune Video Network had a single income structure and low cash flow. At best, it just jumped in the animation field. Compared with Tomato Video Network, which has an industrial chain such as movies, variety shows, TV series, etc., it is just a little fatter.
"Mr. Fang, I am Zhu Zhiguo from the Technical Department. What's the matter with me?"
A middle-aged man with glasses and few heads knocked on the door and walked into the office.
"You are the person who is responsible for the player on our website, right?"
Fang Yuan glanced at him and continued.
"Haoyin Video Network knows, what kind of chat website is it?"
"Sandalwood? Oh, barrage website."
Zhu Zhiguo corrected in a low voice, but Fang Yuan did not care, but said in an orderly tone.
"Can our player also add the scrolling comment function?"
"Well, this function is actually an interactive comment system. By crawling the content in the comment area, it is cast onto the video playback surface for a separate..."
"Speak human words."
Fang Yuan didn't have much patience to listen to these technical details, so he knocked on the table and said.
"Yes, but there are two problems."
Zhu Zhiguo said carefully.
"First, our user base is very large, more than dozens of times higher than Hakka Video Network. If the barrage function is added without restricting the user's words, it may lead to a large number of meaningless barrages flooding the screen, which adds exponential workload to colleagues in the review department. Even if this is limited to paid members, the number will be much larger than Hakka Video Network."
"How did their website review be done? Can't we recruit more people to review these comments?"
After hearing this, Fang Yuan felt that there seemed to be a little reason, so he asked.
"According to what I understand, Hakka Video Network's qualifications to send barrage on all the questions required to answer the questions. That question is very difficult and ordinary people really can't answer them. I chose technical questions myself and answered them three or four times before I got the certification qualification."
Zhu Zhiguo touched his head, which had few heads, and said embarrassedly.
"So, Hakka Video Network's user quality is very high, and the barrage sent generally meets the specifications, and the review is much less difficult. They also have corresponding processing mechanisms such as small black rooms, which can basically complete most of the review work through user reports."
"It means that the user quality of our website is very low?"
Fang Yuan asked back, Zhu Zhiguo had been saying good things about Hatsune Video Network, which made him a little unhappy.
"Mr. Fang, that's not what I mean. I mean, if we also open the barrage mechanism, we may need to improve the user's comment permissions, etc. I can't make the decision. You have to find a product responsible for this."
In fact, when opening new functions, you usually find corresponding products. The reason why Zhu Zhiguo answered so patiently was mainly to leave a good impression on Fang Yuan.
"I'll find someone to implement this later. What is the second question?"
Fang Yuan waved his hand, not knowing if he had recorded it.
"The second question is a bit ashamed to speak."
Zhu Zhiguo thought about it for a while and then spoke.
"At present, there are some minor problems with our player and it is still under maintenance. The schedule for adding new features may be delayed."
"Small question?"
Fang Yuan frowned, not understanding Zhu Zhiguo's meaning very much.
"How long will it take to postpone it?"
"I can't say that, but according to the current progress, this area will only start after the new year."
Zhu Zhiguo replied that as the end of the year approaches, all Internet companies' products have frozen their version numbers, just to avoid making any mistakes and affect the year-end bonuses. Even Fang Yuan is at the level of the company's boss, it is impossible for a group of programmers who have started the New Year early to start moving, so the New Year is actually the most optimistic prediction.
"Okay, you guys, as soon as possible, I will call the product and set up a special team to be responsible for this part."
Fang Yuan signaled Zhu Zhiguo to leave, and then he walked out of the office tremblingly with a sad face.
Of course, Zhu Zhiguo did not tell the whole facts. In fact, the player of Tomato Video Network exposed a major problem in a version update a year ago. This problem occurred with the upgrade of the operating system. It was unpredictable. It involves the player's kernel. If the vulnerability is leaked, the worst result is that Tomato Video Network is likely to be paralyzed.
The most important thing is that Wu Tong, who was the host of designing the player core, had already left the company. In the past, the maintenance of this part was basically thrown into each other and finally he was alone. No one paid attention to it. The programmer who took over now had not figured out the code, and there was a major bug. It was too late to fix it, so there was no time to make it available to open new functions.
Generally, this situation is absolutely impossible for large companies. The most important player core cannot be maintained by Wu Tong alone, but this is indeed born on Tomato Video. Moreover, if there is no problem with this system upgrade, it is very likely that the bug will continue to survive until the day when the loss is caused.
This is a dereliction of duty by the technical department. Zhu Zhiguo naturally did not dare to report it at will, and only urged his subordinates to repair it quickly. Unexpectedly, this matter was involved again. Once the special team was established, this problem would probably be difficult to hide.
He sighed and remembered Wu Tong, who was not favored by the people in the group and no one kept him until he left.
"I wouldn't let him go if I had known."
