Chapter 189: Muggle Video Sites
It's funny to say. Although many people initially invested in the arms of "Dota 2", as the game equipment of the Dream Three Kingdoms became more and more beautiful, and the game skins could also be obtained through the competition or dungeon completion in the game, which made many people more and more invested in the arms of "Dream Three Kingdoms".
Although "Dream Three Kingdoms" is weaker than "Dota 2" in terms of the number of registrations, it surpasses "Dota 2" in terms of online numbers.
This comes from the user adhesion brought by the copy model.
Many people may not go to the trouble of playing dungeons, but because they only need to complete daily tasks and can hang up for five hours, many people will choose to hang up to get soldiers and rations after completing daily tasks at night.
The Weekly Event Dungeon also introduces a special item.
In addition to consuming the uniform copper coins in the dungeon, each item also needs to consume military rations.
And it's expensive.
Of course, the weekend dungeon is also very difficult, and the rewards will naturally not be less.
A special equipment advancement material used to advance equipment from Chapter 5 to Chapter 6.
It is also used for the advancement and refinement of some weapons and pets.
In short, it is a very consumable piece of equipment.
And the biggest difference with DNF is that the equipment in "Dream Three Kingdoms" will not be strengthened and broken.
Of course, this makes the success rate of reinforcement unusually low.
Someone has tried, and if you want to upgrade a piece of equipment from level 0 to level 15, you need to consume more than 7,000 enhancement stones of the corresponding grade.
The equipment grades are white, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, and dark gold.
It is said that other colors of equipment will appear in the future, but it is clear that they will not be able to be crafted right now.
Rao is like this, and many local tyrants have also purchased materials to make a set of equipment.
High-level dungeons are, of course, required for high-level equipment.
And high-level equipment will also produce a special effect.
For example, when the whole body is strengthened by Fourteen, several dragon ball-like orbs will appear to rotate around the character.
When you are enhanced at 15, two white cloud dragons will appear around the character.
The most interesting thing is that the equipment of the Enhancement Fifteen will shine a special flowing golden light in the inventory.
It's very beautiful.
However, despite all the settings that have been made, from beginning to end, there are only two tokens in the mall, Soldier and Soldier Ration, and you really can't say that it is a pit.
After all, these two tokens can also be obtained through quest challenges.
This has led to a lot of ordinary players.
And there are more ordinary players, and local tyrants also like to collect materials to make equipment.
Civilian players can get a good game experience without charging money, and local tyrant players can charge money to make a piece of equipment, which can also be used to play a copy or bring a trumpet, or go to play competitive outfit B.
In short, although the gameplay of this game is born out of DOTA, it is actually a different game from Dota 2.
These two games quickly seized the market, and the public opinion discussion naturally took place above other topics.
Invisibly, "Meteor Shower", which originally overpowered "Drunk", naturally did not have an advantage.
However, someone found that "Meteor Shower" has landed on Youku.
It is already available to watch on the website.
There's no way, at this time, Mango TV doesn't have its own video website, and because of the self-made drama, it can only be broadcast on its own TV station, in order to squeeze out the value to the greatest extent, it is normal to sell it to a video website.
But......
Here's the problem.
Although Youku Tudou is the earliest video website in China, in the past two years, the top spot of the video website has completely fallen to iQiyi.
Station B is second only to iQiyi's video website by virtue of its interoperability with iQiyi's film library.
Secondly, it is Youku Tudou.
So in order to make a profit, Youku Tudou has a lot of advertisements.
At this point, even after it launched the VIP service, many member users will appear an ad that needs to be manually turned off when playing videos.
The most speechless thing is that even if you are a member, when you are in some hit dramas, you will only be four levels more than ordinary users.
And what about Bilibili's iQiyi?
After someone put forward the suggestion of why members still watch ads, iQIYI has canceled the manual cancellation of ads at the beginning of the film.
It can ensure that the whole play is played during the play, except for some self-made small theaters of the film, there are no other advertisements.
It's a true member experience.
Don't look at it as just such a small move, iQiyi's reputation is much better.
Although it may seem like some benefits have been lost in a short period of time, in the long run, there are more users and more members.
Then there is the secondary income.
Inheriting the tradition of iQiyi before, each film and television drama that meets a certain limit of the three conditions of playback, clicks and popularity will obtain the production rights of the periphery.
Users can obtain these peripherals by spending a certain number of user points and adding a fee.
For example, in the previous "Chef Fang", it was very popular to fold fans and fans, keychains, couple shirts and other peripherals.
It can also be regarded as a secondary income generation.
It's not a lot, but it's also easier than ever.
Correspondingly, Youku is a little ugly.
First, it introduced a process called user experience.
When "Meteor Shower" was about to play the finale, it came up with an event to see the ending in advance.
This event is that you spend ten bucks, and then you can unlock the ending early.
In fact, it's just two episodes in advance.
Not to mention, there are really some fans who follow the drama to participate in this event.
That's about two million.
That is, 200,000 people unlocked the ending in advance.
Not much money, but it works well.
And this is a spoiler in advance, which led to a war of words between Mango TV and Youku on Weibo.
It's another wave of topicality.
And then......
In a spy war drama that has only recently become popular, the event of unlocking the ending in advance has also been launched.
This time it's rare.
Less than five thousand people participated.
But Youku's reputation is much worse.
If you watch the ending in advance, you will have to pay extra.
So what's the use of you getting a VIP?
And Mao Yi still remembers that the hearts of these video websites were all black.
On the basis of membership, you can spend extra money and watch movies in advance.
And that money ......
It's fifty pieces.
However, the problem is that these fifty dollars will only allow you to watch six more episodes than ordinary members.
Inside and out, those who spent money to unlock TV series in advance have become leeks.
In this life, since Mao Yi wants to build a full-platform reputation, it is naturally impossible for iQiyi to embark on that old path.
In fact, if a video website wants to make money, it can take the road of self-made dramas.
Self-made drama is a very cost-saving model.
Compared with those tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dramas, the cost of self-made dramas can be reduced a lot.
Of course, it is not easy to make a profit.
