"Xuelin, how's our video business?"
"Boss Chen, after we launched the short video business, Huanyu Video has left YouTube in the dust."
"I'm talking about the domestic video business."
However, the fact that he was online at the same time did not stop Chen Yu.
Microsoft's threat was too great.
Compared to the entire operating system market, one million simultaneous online players was still a huge gap.
If Chen Yu only wanted to make games, he could sit back and relax.
Chen Yu believed that Logos could reach new heights in the future.
However, if Chen Yu wanted to enter the operating system business, one million simultaneous online players was just the beginning.
At that moment, Chen Yu turned his attention to the video business.
"Domestic video business?"
Li Linxue was puzzled.
Why was Boss Chen paying attention to the domestic video business?
The domestic video business was limited by internet speed and other factors. It had just started developing and did not have much impact.
Take the short video business for example. Due to the lack of bandwidth, it could not be launched in the country.
It was not that it could not be done, but the internet speed was too slow. It took too long for short videos to be refreshed. Sometimes, it could not even be refreshed.
"Our domestic video business is still in the lead for the time being. However, we are not too far behind Tudou and Youku."
"Mm."
Chen Yu nodded.
Although he did not pay much attention to the domestic video business, Chen Yu knew the domestic video business well.
Currently, the domestic video business was mainly about watching movies and TV series online. There were no other innovative ways to do live streaming.
Therefore, the IP addresses of the few websites were similar. There was not much of a gap.
In addition, all the major video websites were losing money. There were not many profitable businesses.
Therefore, the major websites did not increase their efforts in the video business. They even had a certain level of tacit understanding.
Anyway, they could not start the video business even if they wanted to. They could just take it slow. It would not be too late to make a serious move when the internet speed in the country improved.
Of course, Chen Yu was paying attention to the video business. He did not want to develop the domestic video business.
Due to the limited bandwidth, even if Chen Yu wanted to develop the video industry in the country, he wouldn't be able to come up with too many tricks.
Chen Yu paid attention to the video business because he wanted the video business to once again drive the improvement of online gaming.
"Open the video homepage."
Chen Yu asked Li Xuelin to open the video website.
"Didn't we have a gaming commentary column before?"
"Boss Chen, over here."
"It doesn't seem to be very effective."
Chen Yu clicked on it.
Although there were many game commentary videos, it wasn't particularly lively.
"Xuelin, I think we can add bullet screen comments to our game commentary."
"Bullet screen? What bullet screen?"
"This is a new function."
Chen Yu explained, "For example, when we are watching a video, we will leave a message when we are excited. However, our message can only appear in the comments section. What if our message is directly inserted into the video?"
"Insert it into the video?"
Li Xuelin didn't know how to understand.
This was also very normal.
The bullet screen function first appeared in Japan in 2006.
At that time, it was only experimental and they didn't think that the bullet screen would have any effect.
In fact, it took many years for it to be slowly accepted by the public after it was launched.
Now that Chen Yu mentioned the bullet screen, it was normal for them not to know what he meant.
However, although the bullet screen was a new content, it wasn't complicated at all. As long as he explained it clearly, anyone would understand the use of the bullet screen.
After thinking about it, Chen Yu continued, "Right now, our bandwidth in the country is limited. It's difficult to launch live broadcast video content for the time being. "Therefore, when everyone watches movies and dramas, they might feel that they are watching alone. This kind of experience is not enough. "However, if we insert a bullet screen above the video, for example, I will write a sentence at this place 10 minutes later. The next netizen will also be able to see this sentence at the tenth minute. "
"Boss Chen, wait a moment. I will immediately ask the technician to create this function first."
Li Xuelin was a little touched.
He felt like he understood what this bullet screen meant.
However, this could only be thought about in his mind. It wasn't intuitive enough.
Then, Li Xuelin immediately called the chief technician over.
He explained this function to the technician.
Although the technician couldn't fully understand the use of this function for the time being, it didn't matter.
However, it didn't matter. He just needed to push this function out in the background.
In just half an hour, the bullet screen function appeared.
"Not bad, this technology is good. Xuelin, should you consider the issue of a raise?"
Chen Yu praised.
This made the technician who came up with the bullet screen function so excited that he couldn't help but feel excited.
Although he was the chief technician in the video industry, Huanyu Technologies was too big. He was only responsible for the technology in the Huanyu Gateway video business.
He had been in the company for so long, but he had never spoken to Chen Yu.
He didn't expect to be so lucky today to be praised by the big boss.
"Boss Chen, don't worry. I will talk to the finance department later."
What was the point of a raise?
Then, the two of them began to test the bullet screen.
"Boss Chen, this bullet screen is very fun. It's very interactive."
"Not only is it interactive, but when you look at the bullet screen, do you feel that it's not one person watching the video, but a group of people watching it? It's like watching a live broadcast."
"Yes, yes, yes, I feel that way."
Li Xuelin didn't really understand the bullet screen function before.
However, after the introduction of this new function, he immediately understood the function of the bullet screen.
This real-time bullet screen inserted into the video was not only more interactive than the message board, but it also greatly improved the video experience. Especially at the climax. Although this bullet screen function hadn't been officially launched yet, Li Xuelin believed that once this function was launched, it would definitely get them excited. It was like everyone watching a movie in a movie theater. When they reached the climax, they would all exclaim in unison.
"Boss Chen, will this bullet screen affect the user's ability to watch the video?"
After calming down, Li Xuelin looked at the text inserted on the screen and asked worriedly.
"It won't."
Chen Yu shook his head. "The user's eyes can't just stare at this text."
"But what if there are too many bullet screen comments?"
"That won't happen either."
Chen Yu still shook his head. "After watching enough, you might be able to cultivate a godly skill."
"Godly skill?"
Li Xuelin was dumbfounded.
Could one cultivate a godly skill just by watching a video?
"When you want to watch a video, you will see the video. When you want to watch the bullet screen, you will see the bullet screen. "
In fact, the major websites had been hesitant about whether the bullet screen would affect the viewing of the video.
In his previous life, the first website to have bullet screen comments was Bilibili, followed by Bilibili.
Even so, the major video websites like Penguin and Love Kiyi had been cautious and didn't follow in immediately.
However, although they didn't follow in immediately, the advantage of the bullet screen was too strong. In the end, almost all the video websites introduced the bullet screen function.
However, there was a certain amount of controversy when this function was first introduced. At the same time, some users might not like the bullet screen. Chen Yu then said, "If you're really worried, you can set a key on the video. If you want to watch the bullet screen, click on it. If you don't want to watch, just turn it off."
"Boss Chen, that's a good idea."
"Okay, Xuelin, you guys optimize the bullet screen and launch the bullet screen function as soon as possible."
"Yes."
