Chapter 871: The Great 5G Era

Yang Jiangang immediately raised his head, and then angrily snorted: "I rely on me to call it down-to-earth, okay?

"Wrong, you're talking about being a person, and the field of entrepreneurship is different. When you start a business, you have to fly, and when the wind comes, you must at least have the heart to fly. Chu Yuanxi said as he projected the screen on his laptop computer onto the wall, on which was the mental map of the project, and a few bubbles were added on the basis of the original, in which questions and answers were written.

In the 5G era, is the demand for video stronger than in the past?

The answer is correct.

Are all the platforms that can provide UGC video services on the market are three-dimensional?

The answer is also correct.

How big is the gap left in the market for ACG UGC?

The answer is no. However, three-dimensional UGC videos continue to be popular, accounting for a small half of the entire network traffic of the Celestial Empire and a small half of the user's time, and the proportion has been increasing. What if the scope is expanded from UGC to all videos? If you also count the video playback of several major webcasting platforms, it is not necessarily a small half, and the traffic of the entire video field is extremely huge.

Why doesn't anyone do UGC two-dimensional tracks?

The answer is the threshold of UGC. The lowest threshold in all UGC content is codeword, so the text UGC has the most, whether it is original or an official account explosion, it has occupied the mainstream for a long time. However, the popularity of 4G has made the rise of video, especially short videos shot by UGC, the second lowest threshold. The higher threshold than the short video is the original manga, and even the rough original manga has a higher threshold than the delicate live-action video, but the highest is undoubtedly the animation.

So several bubbles point to a problem: if the peak visual effects are done well, why can't they monopolize a new track? Even though the two-dimensional track may be narrower than the three-dimensional track, it is empty. What's more, who knows who is wide and who is narrow? Maybe 5G is coming to the peak, and the visual effects are on the first level, and it is possible to find that the two-dimensional is more lively than the three-dimensional.

Of course, this is less likely, because content is more time-consuming to produce.

There's actually a misunderstanding here.,That is, there are a lot of animations in short videos?But those are not original animations.,It's editing other people's materials.,Make a wonderful compilation.,Or play memes.,Use re-matched subtitles to reflect your own highlights.。 Although they are also UGC, they are not original. The so-called original animation, the roughness MAX is the first season of "My name is MT", and the painting is extremely simple, but it is original. This level of original animation has so far been difficult for individual users to complete.

Therefore, at present, all the original videos from individual users are three-dimensional, including the so-called two-dimensional base camp of station B, and the original contributions of UGC can only be three-dimensional. Handmade Geng is so good, you ask him to try to animize the handstand shampoo or brain melon collapse?

After reading these questions and answers, Yuan Alfalfa and Yang Jiangang didn't say anything for a long time, Yuan Alfalfa had something to say, Yang Jiangang couldn't say anything, Chu Yuanxi simply told him to go back first, and then talk about it after thinking clearly.

Soon, Yang Jiangang left in a state of contemplation and apprehension, and Yuan Yuan glanced at Yang Jiangang and saw that Yang Jiangang had gone away, and immediately asked: "With such a good prospect, why don't you invest more? What is the situation if you don't invest a dollar in the A round? Don't take the that the Ba people have invested in the angel round and already account for a large share. ”

Chu Yuanxi laughed: "Yuan Yu, what is the most important thing in starting a business? It is an entrepreneur and a founding team, right? The prospects are indeed good, but I have doubts about Yang Jiangang." If I do it myself and I am the leader, then there will be nothing else to do with the financing below the valuation of 10 billion yuan, and this kind of pure Internet project does not need any other cross-border resources, nor does it need to bind some awesome investors with shares like a well-off. ”

"I rely on this!" Yuan Yuan was shocked, she didn't expect Chu Yuanxi to be so optimistic about Yang Jiangang.

"It's not that I'm not optimistic, but I don't have any reason to be optimistic. Chu Yuanxi was very strange: "Why are you more optimistic about Yang Jiangang than me?

"Of course it's influenced by you, you think he's unreliable, and you still support him to hatch? ”

"This is the idea of a slave owner. Whether he is reliable or not, he has enough DKP and wants to start a business, I will support it, this is my promise to employees, of course I have to fulfill, it has nothing to do with whether he is reliable or not. He burned all the money, and as long as it wasn't washed in his pocket, he was still my brother. ”

Yuan was in awe.

I only heard Chu Yuanxi continue: "Actually, the prospect of peak visual effects may be bigger than I said, but the road has to be taken step by step, so I won't make trouble for Yang Jiangang." ”

As he spoke, he took out a piece of paper from under the coffee table, which was some of the experiences he had written down when he was paying attention to peak visual effects in the past few days.

Yuan took it and took a look, and the title was written - Virtual Reality Social.

It's actually been a long, long time, and it was proposed in 2014, but it was about augmented reality social. The so-called augmented reality socialization, just like in science fiction movies, directly projects the other party into reality across the network through the camera of the mobile phone, just like face-to-face.

However, Chu Yuanxi thinks it is more mysterious, because the camera and transmission can be solved, but how to project is a problem, I'm afraid it still has to be projected on the wall, and the effect is similar to that of a projector, this effect is more disgraced when engaging in social networking, it is better to open the video directly.

In fact, in 2017, VRchat appeared on the Internet, a free massively multiplayer online virtual reality game, where players have no other way to play online, just to play as a cool character of their choice to move and chat in the game map.

Although this format is cooler, the player can play as a sausage, a stickman, or some other demon in the game to sing, talk to someone, and even give a speech, but as a social interaction, it is still in a relatively primitive stage.

But what about the advent of 5G? It will definitely be possible to develop a variety of distinctive virtual reality social models. For example, VR animation social users can make a VR mode animation and publish it on social platforms, so that other users can enter the animation in an immersive way to watch.

This is technically solvable, as long as you demarcate an audience area in each animated scene and then process the sound into surround 3D. Of course, in order to have social functions, the production of animation must be standardized and processed, it must be easy, and it is better to be able to visualize it rather than tablist.

This requires Peak Visual Effects to upgrade its own engine and iterate its own technology. Although this kind of development will definitely eat a lot of money and require a large number of high-level siege lions, it also has great development prospects and the user's social experience will be relatively unique.

It can also be used as a virtual reality map, similar to the online content that Xiaokang is already developing.

The "City Treasure" feature to be produced in Xiaokang Milestone 6 is a VR game based on a virtual reality map, which is completely modeled after reality, but is virtual. In it, users buy land on the map to build houses like Monopoly games, and add bricks and tiles to build tall buildings.

Unlike Monopoly, users cannot collect tolls from others, but obtain benefits through mobile payment dividends in the same position in reality.

This promotion model is both interesting and motivating, and the well-off in the original world does not have.

The well-off in the original world also made a map game, but it was not a virtual reality game, not to adapt to 5G, but to directly point to the community socialization. For example, if a group of users work together to build a badminton hall somewhere on the virtual map, they can get free tickets to the badminton court. And the reason why they were able to build a badminton court there is because there is a badminton court there in reality.

This is equivalent to spending health coins and getting tickets, which is an equivalent exchange, but it is endowed with social attributes, and it also allows users who have accumulated health coins to have an outlet for cashing. After a period of time, the badminton hall on the virtual map will disappear, and users can re-shovel the land and build houses.

In fact, this operation can be regarded as someone in the group sending a link, and others go to like, but likes need to spend health coins, and the number of likes is enough, and the group will become. But it's very different from Pinduoduo Hack, because this group is geographically restricted, and the essence of the virtual map lies in the positioning exclusion, not that people here can't enter this group at all, so there will be no "Cut" feeling of harassment of the user's home.

This is characteristic of a certain stage of well-off social interaction in the original world. In this venture, Chu Yuanxi wanted to point out the skill of mobile payment to Xiaokang, so he retained the original essence from the design, and then added support for mobile payment.

A company to promote its own mobile payment should first make the merchant willing to put his code, the common form is the flow of rebates, the second is to let the user be willing to scan, the usual practice is to subsidize the user.

Of course, the well-off also has to adopt conventional operations, but in addition to conventional means, urban treasures directly combine the two. In reality, a shop is bought and built by a user on a virtual map, and the user who buys the land and builds a house will share the profit to the mobile payment rebate. The number of floors of the virtual building determines the proportion of the overall rebate, and the higher the building, the bigger the cake, and the merchants and the users who build the house benefit together.

This is the general principle, and it is necessary to add a variety of different numerical gameplay in the specific production, and then develop social attributes, and even add different architectural styles, etc.

This kind of mechanism, Chu Yuanxi believes that after players figure out the rules, those who have the capital to build a building will take the initiative to persuade them to talk about the merchant in reality for the well-off, because no matter how large the rebate ratio is, it is also a ratio, and it is meaningless without mobile payment. Even the merchants themselves will participate in the activities of buying land and building buildings, and the fertilizer and water will not flow into the fields of outsiders.

In this way, as long as all real estate properties are set to the life cycle, there will be no solidification. The ownership of all shops on the virtual map may change, and for high-value shops, the right to build the building and the land will be auctioned, and the longevity of the materials purchased when building the building is the so-called numerical play.

This set of gameplay is difficult to deal with large shopping malls and individual mobile operators, which cannot be represented in the map, so the conventional mobile payment promotion methods are also indispensable, and it is necessary to push the team out.

Then take this set of mechanisms one step further, and it is possible to develop several versions of massively multiplayer online virtual reality social networking that is more advanced than VRchat, which is equivalent to the feeling of being similar to Earth Online, at least the completely realistic map is a highlight.

Yuan Yu slowly looked at Chu Yuanxi's essays, and didn't squeak for a long time, and he didn't know if he didn't understand it, or he couldn't imagine what kind of application scenario it was.

I only heard Chu Yuanxi say: "What interests me about peak visual effects is that half of my energy is to operate overseas, which is really good." ”

"Where's the good?"

"Fortunately, well, fortunately, if they develop well overseas, Xiaokang can consider taking over the peak visual effects. ”

“......”

Yuan Yu expressed his feelings with a silent lip shape, and co-authored Yang Jiangang did not escape the fate of being annexed in the end?

I saw Chu Yuanxi say excitedly: "Xiaokang plans to burn a lot of money on the map, this money can't be burned in vain, right? That peak visual effects have the foundation of virtual reality, there are overseas markets and users, Xiaokang has maps, virtual reality, and social foundations, after receiving the peak visual effects, the advantages are complementary, and it is not very beautiful to go directly overseas to do socializing? The map provides a social scene, and can use 5G to expand new social models around the world, and even have the opportunity to compete asymmetrically with Facebook and Twitter. Oh, I can't even think about it, this imagination space is simply too big!"

Yuan was stupid when she heard it. Suddenly, she thought of one thing, Zheng De invested in Ba Ren and Peak Visual Effects at the same time, and as an investor representative, she had seen the angel round investment agreement of Ba Ren to invest in Peak Visual Effects.

In her opinion, this agreement is simply oppressive, and there are no restrictions on the Ba people, of course, considering that it is an incubation investment, no one can say anything. But now that it has been successful from the perspective of incubation, and the peak visual effects can be independently financed and operated, these terms are particularly glaring, and it seems that Yang Jiangang is particularly inexperienced.

If Xiaokang wants to collect peak visual effects at that time, he doesn't even need to do mergers and acquisitions, he can directly invest in it, or buy shares of other investors, and then set up a holding company with Baren Group to hold his own shares, and he can directly control the peak visual effects, and the actual controllers of these two companies are Chu Yuanxi!

Yang Jiangang has almost no resistance to this operation, the key is that the well-off hardly has to pay much price, and it is extremely scary to think about it!

Yuan Yu's lips were a little dry, and he asked astringently: "That, Chu Yuanxi, I have an immature idea, do you think so......"

Chu Yuanxi heard Yuan Yuan say her bold guess, and immediately laughed, "Oh, your imagination is too rich, right? Yang Jiangang and I are brothers!"

Soon, Yuan Yu left the room, she had just returned from Yangcheng, and she had a lot of work to do. Chu Yuanxi looked at her beautiful back, and said in her heart that she didn't expect it, her brain became active after going out. But the idea she provided is very instructive, because if there is such a day, it is not necessarily a bad thing for Yang Jiangang, because it is just going to face Facebook and Twitter.

At that time, Yang Jiangang had that talent, and he could fight against Facebook and Twitter, so it was okay for him to continue to lead, if he didn't have that talent, how could he lead the army to attack the world's strongest social barriers? Of course, he should give way, and even to the point of giving way, it has been extremely successful.

This is the true meaning of a start-up, the company is not a certain person's, a person has made an important contribution in the founding stage, then he should also get the corresponding shares, and ultimately look at equity and control, look at ability.

Therefore, Yuan Yu's incredible expression actually revealed that her understanding of entrepreneurship is still relatively shallow, and she is still in a humane society, and she is not much better than Lao Li of the dangdang network.

In order for his brother's career to succeed, Chu Yuanxi immediately launched Ba Ren Information to warm up the whole network for the new platform of peak visual effects.

In fact, "Animal Company" has been broadcast in Youtu, the popularity is average, but the response is quite good, many users ridiculed this script for being delayed by the low-grade picture quality, but when the relevant information of the production platform was released in the animation, it attracted a lot of attention.

However, this level of propagation is still small-scale, and it cannot be compared with the warm-up of the whole network. The whole network warm-up also uses the finished film of "Animal Company" as the material, but the production content is added, mixed and cut into the material based on the publicity platform for distribution, and then Weibo is opened to collect fans and do warm-up activities. When the platform for peak visual effects is really launched and the official website is opened, Yang Jiangang will need to spend money on advertising in person.

As a result, when "Animal Inc" was redistributed, the person who intended to take the copyright of this animation in the magic capital, Disney's Defoe, made an appointment to meet Chu Yuanxi.

It stands to reason that Uncle Sheng should be solely responsible for this matter, and he is the boss of the Baren Copyright Company. However, Chu Yuanxi finally decided to meet Uncle Sheng. In this meeting, Defoe really brought business over, and Uncle Sheng's side had already recruited a business manager, and the two sides sat in a row full of people, and the soldiers met with each other, and the two high-level interpreters Monica and Elizabeth were enough to ensure smooth communication.

Chu Yuanxi told Uncle Sheng in advance that he would mainly go into battle for PK, and he was the one who took the idea. This copyright negotiation is also important and unimportant, considering that even Zhu Wei has signed a heavyweight contract, Uncle Sheng's side also needs to lead a heavyweight copyright negotiation, so Chu Yuanxi is mainly responsible for onlookers

As a result, Uncle Sheng Balabala was talking happily, and when he turned around, he found that Chu Yuanxi was also very happy with his head down and pressing his mobile phone. This is a bit of a drama, he took the space of the business manager's mouth and elbowed Chu Yuanxi, "Hey, you can listen to what we are talking about." ”

Unexpectedly, Chu Yuanxi pouted, "Don't speak, what I'm talking about is more important." ”

"Ah, what are you talking about?" Uncle Sheng said and swept over, only to see Chu Yuanxi raise Yang's mobile phone, and the other party's nickname was Zhang Ming written on WeChat.

"What kind of business cooperation does it have with Douyin?"

"No, it's Zhang Ming who also wants to buy Ba Ren games. Chu Yuanxi said and took back his mobile phone and sighed in a low voice: "Alas, it's too difficult for me......"
