Miramax Films was founded in 1979, much earlier than Galaxy Films, and they own a lot of film rights. At this time, Nicholas IMDB urgently needs to buy a large number of movie network copyrights, just take them to use!

Nicholas IMDB spent more than $200 million to buy tens of thousands of film and television works.

Real-Orks has also improved the RealPlayer video player, classifying the "Online Library" into categories, and users can click on it and see it at a glance!

Because it has an IMDb website, it is not difficult to promote the RealPlayer video player.

IMDB is the world's largest Internet photo library, ranking in the top 10 in terms of website traffic.

The IMDB website didn't have a "watch online" feature before, but now it does.

In fact, the so-called "online viewing" has changed the concept, and the current browser cannot prompt you to watch a movie on a web page. After clicking "Watch Online", only a black screen will appear on the webpage, with a row of words on it: "Please download the realplayer video player to watch the film, if the realplayer video player cannot play, please refresh the page once"!

A "RealPlayer Download" option appears below the black screen. With just one click, you can download RealPlayer Video Player!

The RealPlayer video player was launched at 12 noon on July 20th, and the homepage of the IMDB website also gave a promotion and download link.

At present, there are all kinds of download software on the market, the most famous is Thunderbolt P2P.

Thunderbolt P2P is a software developed by the P2P department of Williams Labs, the software is less than 1MB, simple and practical, and the most important thing is that the software is as its name suggests, there is a kind of lightning speed, and the download speed is very fast!

It is precisely because of this that Thunderbolt P2P can quickly occupy the download software market and become one of the mainstream download software!

At the same time, Thunderbolt P2P also launched its own website. The website is different from the software, the content is rich, all kinds of software are found on the Thunderbolt P2P website, and there is even a download ranking list for your reference.

When downloading RealPlayer video player, if you don't have Thunderbolt P2P on your computer, then, it will download Thunderbolt P2P by default, and then download RealPlayer.

In the previous life, Henry downloaded the game or something, at the beginning, he downloaded the company's download software by default, and then downloaded the real game through this download software!

The launch of realplayer means the beginning of the era of online viewing on the Internet, which suddenly set off a huge wave on the Internet!

On July 20th, the slogan on the front page of the IMDB website reads: "Epoch-making software RealPlayer online video player !!"

When you click on it, you will see a detailed description of the RealPlayer video player.

"realplayer uses the most advanced technology at present, no need to download and wait, you can download and watch at the same time, even under the low network speed, users can also watch videos smoothly!

Some people download RealPlayer by reading the slogan on the homepage, while others see a "watch online" option under the pictures of some movies, and can't help but click to download them curiously.

Either way, after downloading and using RealPlayer, user satisfaction is high.

"Cool, in the past, you could only see the pictures and introductions of a movie, if you want to see it, you can only make a special trip to rent a videotape, it's too troublesome!!!

"Oh, that's cool, I can watch a lot of movies at home!Ho, I can choose from tens of thousands of movies, if you put them together, it's just dazzling!However, realplayer has considered it for users, very user-friendly, separating movies and TV, separate categories, there are sci-fi, horror, action, etc., what type of movie or TV series do you want to watch, just look for it directly under this genre!"

“……”

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway.

The industry is shocked by realplayer!

"I'm a programmer, and watching movies online involves a lot of technology, such as video compression, which is very difficult. No company has been able to do this yet, and real-orks is amazing!"

"It is foreseeable that the launch of RealPlayer will rewrite the Internet video field and even have a huge impact on the traditional industry!"

"The most critical technology of RealPlayer is the video format. Only video formats with high compression efficiency are possible to be downloaded and watched online. We know that Microsoft launched the AVI video format this year, and when the AVI video format just came out, many people were surprised and called it the best video format. In fact, the AVI video format was exactly as it was at the time! However, within a few months, AVI was overtaken. To be exact, it's completely different from the video formats supported by RealPlayer, so it's a world of difference!"

"The video format supported by RealPlayer is called the RMVB video format, which was developed by a small and unknown company, Real-Orks. Previously, we never knew about the existence of this company until the release of RealPlayer video player. However, after some investigation, it turned out that Real-Orks was not the small company we imagined, because there was a person standing behind it, a person that everyone had to look up to...... This man is Henry Williams!!"

"From this, we know that success is no accident!"

……

RealPlayer surpassed 1 million downloads in a week, and the number of movies used to play the "Online Library" reached more than 15 million times.

This data has just been released, and the film company is shocked.

15 million times, if you use it to rent or buy videotapes, it is tens of millions of dollars!

You know, this is still a week's performance of RealPlayer!

The film company was a little crazy, and even regretted selling the online rights of the film to Nicholas IMDB, so that Marcy Felimon had a hard time buying the online rights of the film again.

However, it won't be long before the pirated videos are about to come out.

The main culprit for accelerating the emergence of piracy is Real-Orks. A week later, Real-Orks released a software tool RMVB format converter that can convert various video formats to RMVB video formats.

RealPlayer can support "online viewing", and the function of "local viewing" is naturally not a problem.

There are already some pirated video download sites on the Internet, but due to the limitations of Internet speed, these pirated websites are difficult to develop. The RMVB converter released by Real-Orks is simply tailor-made for them, so that they can convert all the video formats stored in the server to RMVB and then provide them to netizens for download!

On the one hand, it has increased the number of downloads of realplayer and enhanced its influence, and on the other hand, in a sense, it has also enriched movie resources!

Netizens download pirated movies on pirated websites, what does it matter to Real-Orks?

Therefore, the owner of the pirated website was like a treasure, and after getting the rmvb format converter, he was excited all night and didn't sleep, and immediately organized people to carry out the work of converting the format!

At this time, Henry went to the Real-Orks company to find out what was going on. I didn't think about it, but I met someone here.

"Hello, Mr. Williams, it's a pleasure to meet you here. My name is Jiang Wanmeng, and I'm from China!" Jiang Wanmeng was a little shocked when he saw Henry, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

As soon as Henry heard him introduce himself, he knew who he was.

Jiang Wanmeng is the founder of Wanyan VCD, and the world's first VCD was made by Wanyan VCD. In 1992, Jiang Wanmeng, who originally worked at Anhui TV Station, went to the United States to participate in the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition. At this exhibition, Jiang Wanmeng was firmly tied to MPEG decompression technology, an inconspicuous technology exhibited by C-Cube Microsystems in the United States.

Jiang Wanmeng is keenly aware that MPEG technology, which can store images and sound on a relatively small CD, means that it can create a high-quality and inexpensive audio-visual product for ordinary people to use at home.

The chairman of C-Cube Microsystems is called Sun Yansheng, who is Chinese-American.

The two worked together to establish Wanyan VCD Company, and even the company name is a combination of the names of the two of them.

It's just that what Henry doesn't understand is that he was supposed to work with C-Cube Scober Microsystems, how did he come to Real-Orks?

However, Henry knew that C-Cube Microsystems was a pit-better company, and Wanyan VCD was miserable. The real core technology of VCD is the decoding chip, but it is in the hands of C-Cube Scober Microsystems.

Obviously, how could Jiang Wanmeng's small arms and legs wrestle with C-UUBE?

Jiang Wanmeng thought that C-Cube could be tied up with shares, but C-Cube saw that China's VCD market was huge, and selling decoding chips was more than the money from Wanyan VCD, so he sold decoding chips to all buyers.

Wanyan VCD started brilliantly, but ended in failure.

In fact, another major reason for the failure of Wanyan VCD is that Jiang Wanmeng did not apply for a patent for Wanyan VCD, so that everyone can get a piece of the pie. Perhaps, in Jiang Wanmeng's view at that time, it was useless to apply for a patent for the whole machine. Because he knows that China is a country where piracy is rampant, patents or something, there is a use for yarn. It costs money to apply for a patent, and you can save it!

As a result, 1,000 units came out, and as soon as they were launched, they were sold out immediately. Then, the buyer took the VCD back and took it apart.

VCD player basically has no technical content, to say that there is technical content, mainly in the decoding chip, there is a decoding chip, anyone can do VCD.

Henry looked at Jiang Wanmeng and asked, "Well, hello, may I ask, is there anything you have to do here?"

"I'm going to take a look and ask Real-Orks about the RMVB format!" Jiang Wanmeng replied.

Henry's eyes rolled and he thought, could it be that Jiang Wanmeng wants to use RMVB as a VCD video format?

"Have you consulted?" asked Henry, smiling at him.

Jiang Wanmeng nodded: "I have consulted!"

"What do you think?!"

"Very good video format, better than all the current video formats!" Jiang Wanmeng praised.

Henry smiled and did not speak, but looked at him and asked him to continue.

Jiang Wanmeng was silent for a while, and said: "Mr. Williams, I can't hide it, I came to inspect your company this time, in fact, I want to cooperate with your company! Before, my idea was to design a high-quality and inexpensive audition product based on MPEG technology, but after seeing RMVB, I think RMVB is better than MPEG!"

Henry knowingly asked, "Have you looked for other companies before?"

"Yes!" Jiang Wanmeng nodded, "I saw C-Cube's MPEG compression technology at the International Radio and Television Technology Exhibition, and I came up with this idea! This time I came to the United States, I originally wanted to cooperate with C-Cube, but at this time, I saw RMVB, so I thought about it and came over to ask about the situation first." As a result, the rmvb has impressed me!"

Henry's heart moved, but his face was silent. He looked at Jiang Wanmeng and said, "Well, very good, since that's the case, then we are also happy to cooperate! Mr. Jiang Wanmeng, please come to the office, and we will talk about the cooperation in detail!"

"Okay!" Jiang Wanmeng replied.

Henry smiled and led him to the chairman's office. As Henry walked, he thought to himself that C-Cube was unlucky and had lost a cash cow!

"You may be seated!"

Henry then asked the secretary to give Jiang Wanmeng a glass of water, and then talked about cooperation.

Jiang Wanmeng said: "This product, I call it VCD. The current CDs are all audio discs, and what we want to do is a video disc, and V stands for video. The most important core component of VCD is the decoding chip. Originally, I cooperated with C-Cube by entrusting them to design the decoding chip and holding a 30% stake!

Henry smiled and quipped: "Aren't you afraid that I will sell the decoding chip to other companies in the future? 30% of the shares may not be as much as the money I made from selling the decoding chip......

When Jiang Wanmeng heard this, his face sank, in fact, this was what he was most worried about.
