Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums

"Hi, everyone, do you remember who I am? By the way, I am the actor who voiced Blue Cat—Ge Ping!"

As a representative work of domestic animation in the early years, "Blue Cat Naughty Three Thousand Questions" and its various derivative works, it is the childhood memories of many post-80s and post-90s. Its main feature is that it cleverly combines some stories while telling stories. Scientific knowledge, depending on the series, includes knowledge in various fields such as military affairs, animals, and common sense of life.

However, with the development of the Internet era, netizens began to be active on various forums, and comments touting the Blue Cat series as the first masterpiece of domestic animation continued to emerge, and naturally there were many voices of opposition. In addition, a series of sequels in recent years Word of mouth gradually declined, and in the process of constant controversy, Ge Ping, as the voice actor of the main popular character Blue Cat, also suffered a lot of spoofs.

This ghost animal video uploaded on station C is only 3 minutes long, but it has been played more than 3,000 times a week.

3,000 times may be as small as a mosquito in the Internet era with millions of views in the later generations, but it is a dimensionality reduction blow to Mei Fang and Lin Youxi, a small C station. They have been rushing to deal with it for several nights The problem of server traffic overload and crash.

"Why do people like to talk about this kind of video?"

Lin Youxi also watched this "Ge Pao" ghost animal video by herself, and she didn't like it very much, "This kind of crude editing, the content is just a spoof attacking Teacher Ge Ping, why is everyone posting so much barrage?" happy?"

"I think it's a different perspective of appreciation."

Mei Fang explained, “For example, heavy metal music, death punk, many people don’t like it, they think it’s noise, but there are also many people who enjoy it. You will find ghost and animal spoof videos disgusting and normal, while some people just think It's funny, after all, everyone has a lot of pressure in life, and watching some seriously serious characters make crazy ghost and animal videos can also relax to a certain extent."

"However, personal attacks are indeed not very good, which is good. But if the person concerned expresses that he doesn't mind, then it should be fine..."

Mei Fang himself doesn’t really like the creative content of ghosts and animals. He only occasionally watches some funny ghosts and animals that are not too aggressive, but he clearly remembers that this incident in his previous life was a very important event that broke the circle. It seems to have happened at station A, but this time it happened at station C by chance.

Mei Fang saw that the number of registered official members in the backstage was soaring, from two or three a day in the past, to forty or fifty a day now.

After the formal membership is passed, it also means that they have the right to post barrage and upload videos, but... Having said that, is this bandwidth fee serious?

Streaming video websites often have to pay two parts of server fees, one part is the cost of storage resources, that is, the resources stored on your website, such as videos uploaded by everyone, and your account data.

Another cost is the bandwidth cost. Whether website users play your video online smoothly depends on the capacity of your bandwidth.

If your bandwidth is small, but there are many users playing videos online at the same time, insufficient bandwidth will cause freezes.

Mei Fang previously engaged in a 20M server bandwidth, which supports up to 100 people watching online videos at the same time without freezing, and the monthly fee is 1,200 yuan; now he wants to increase the speed to 100M, and the fee has soared to 10 yuan a year. Ten thousand, that is, a monthly payment of 8,000.

No wonder many people say that making video websites is burning money, so where did station A and station B get so much money back then?

It really depends on financing to live!

After seeing the exaggerated cost of bandwidth, Mei Fang now has a feeling that he has made a mistake. On the one hand, station C is indeed replicating the prosperity of the previous Biz station, but it does not have a very stable cash flow. As for station C itself, it wants to It will take years to make any money.

I created Station C because I was eager to occupy the Bilgi track that did not appear in my previous life, but I was unable to devote much energy to game production. It was too early for Bike Coin to play a role. My deposit is now Although it was scary, he didn't have that much money to burn according to the bandwidth of the video website.

Mei Fang did not make Lin Youxi worry about money too much, he just let her concentrate on studying the website technology, and at the end of June 2010, Lin Youxi, who maintains the operation of the website, brought a new piece of news to Mei Fang , She said that she received a private letter from an Internet company called Manha Technology. Mei Fang had never heard of the name of this company in her previous life, but the other party offered to buy the domain name of Station C for 100,000 yuan. Plus the development source code of station C.

Mei Fang received this in a calm manner, without showing too much excitement on his face. He looked at Lin Youxi who was staring at the private message.

"If the other party really bought it, are you willing to sell this website to him?"

Lin Youxi shook his head, "A Fang made the website yourself, you decide it."

"How could I do it."

Mei Fang smiled, "I made the basic module with you from the beginning, and you will spend the time and energy for subsequent maintenance."

"But the money spent on the website is all from Alfang..."

"But I didn't pay you, did I?"

Lin Youxi stopped talking.

Mei Fang went on to say, "You have to know that the name of this station is Station C, which is your website of Youxi. It is up to you to decide whether to sell it or not."

It is indeed a bit difficult and cruel for a child like Lin Youxi to make this decision. After all, a child can earn 100,000 yuan, which is already a very remarkable thing.

But selling it also means that all my painstaking efforts over the past few years have been turned into this money.

Youxi has been researching streaming video website technology for a long time, and probably knows where he is standing.

If her emphasis on this website is nothing more than that, Mei Fang can’t expect her to lead Station C to go farther alone. It’s better to pull her to concentrate on making games. In addition, there are many well-known game developers waiting. Mei Fang went to invest.

"Afang... I still don't really want to sell it."

Lin Youxi shook his head, "I think our station C can go further. If we don't have enough money now, the bandwidth is fine as it is now. I can continue to play power leveling, and I can also deduct a little from the meal card The money comes out...as long as Station C can continue to build its reputation, we will be able to attract investment one day, what do you think?"

Mei Fang shook his head.

"The wheels of the times are rolling forward. Now it is the era of 3G. If Station C has to freeze even when playing 360p videos, it will lose its competitiveness in the market. If this continues, the signboard of Station C will only get worse. The worse it gets, the worse it will not attract investment.”

"So... you think you should sell the site?"

Lin Youxi's expression was a little lonely, "Since A Fang thinks so too, then there's nothing I can do..."

"Ah, don't get me wrong."

Mei Fang explained, "What I mean is that Station C must increase its bandwidth, otherwise there will be no way to continue to expand, and it will be impossible to attract large capital investment."

"But... just to increase the bandwidth to 100M, it will cost 10,000 yuan a month?"

"It's okay...Although I also think it's ridiculously expensive, maybe it doesn't take a year to attract investment?"

"Afang...do you really have so much money?" Lin Youxi's eyes were very surprised, "Did you make money from... the game?"

Mei Fang nodded and smiled, "You believe me."

Damn, commercial plots are really hard to write

But if you don’t write it now, it will be a big trouble to fill in the hole later

Where theoretical knowledge is involved, I would like to ask all-knowing and omnipotent readers to give more opinions. My understanding of this is limited.

There will be another update later, thanks to the leader.
