Chapter 98: The Flood of Bursting Banks

"I cried. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the part where Gu Cheng gave Mika Nakajima the empty ring box, and said 'When I pay a little more, I'll buy you the ring too', Mika Nakajima directly said, 'Put it on for me' and pretended to cry with a side face - although this is the only place in the whole film where the most routine is the same, I still eat this set the most, and I cried three napkins.

This film should really be watched again in the afternoon, it is best to start at 2:30 o'clock, and come out at 5 o'clock, just in time for the sunset, it will be so beautiful. ”

On the afternoon of Christmas Eve, major film review-related websites were flooded with articles like this, talking about the newly released "Sunset at Three Chomes" everywhere.

In addition to movie review websites, related social media are not to be outdone, and the top posts are all like this:

"I'm a person who is more annoying about literary films, because the current directors of literary films are too studious, and they can't understand the pursuit, and the pursuit of 'Lao Tzu has made enough, so he will make a film that doesn't make money' It seems that he is very elegant. Originally, I was disgusted by hearing so many film critics and professional media tout this film after the screening, and if my girlfriend hadn't forced me to watch it, I would never have entered the theater today.

But the results were much more than I expected. I thought that looking forward to the future, reflecting the rolling forward of the wheel of history and crushing society, the screening was at best as ruthless as "Evil Detective"; ”

This kind of poster looks like a straight man, belonging to the kind of anti-literary youth who is stubbornly resistant to literary films, but he was forced to bow to the true literature and art with historical progress significance by a film.

At the back of the post, it was also full of likes and likes, putting him on the top of the hottest:

"This film is not only artistic, but also finds beauty everywhere in life. I have never seen such a huge and complex social group drama, and in the end, it can be coiled and knotted so thickly, vividly, and colorfully. ”

All these hot spots on the Internet were quickly detected by Yahoo Fuso's automatic algorithms. Then the "Today's Hot Spots" and "Entertainment" sub-sections on the Yahoo homepage were pushed to the top, and they were immediately occupied by posts and articles related to "Sunset in Sanchome".

In the field of search engines, Fuso people do not use Baidu or Google, nor do they build their own NAVER like Dongyi's neighbors. Fuso people "touched the Internet" relatively early, so in 96~97 years, they developed the habit of using the Yahoo Fuso search engine. In the seven or eight years since, Yahoo's market share has not been shaken.

It's different from Google and Baidu, which are relatively pure search engines that don't have anything but a search bar on the homepage. Yahoo's technology is relatively old, so there are a lot of remnants of the old search engines of the last century.

In addition to the horizontal search bar at the top of the page, there are dense hot pushes below, just like other half-navigation pages and half-portals. What is happening at the moment and what is the content with the highest search index will be captured by Yahoo's algorithm and automatically displayed on the homepage. (In the last century, before Baidu, Sina and Sohu's search engines looked much the same.) Later, after the rise of Baidu, those searches slowly disappeared. )

……

Originally, Yahoo Fuso showed the hot information of "Sunset in Sanchome", and it was nothing.

After all, that's the truth, and on this Christmas Eve, the hottest word on Yahoo is indeed this movie.

However, the problem lies in the fact that the chairman and CEO of Yahoo Fuso is Sun Zhengyi, who is now in love with Gu Cheng - but don't underestimate Sun Zhengyi because of inertial thinking, thinking that he is just a successful investor, not a successful business operator.

Sun's SoftBank holds a 51% stake in Yahoo Fuso and is the absolute controlling party. He has invested in countless Internet companies in his life, but only Yahoo Fuso let him personally devote his energy to running it, perhaps because Fuso is his motherland.

In the afternoon of the same day, Sun Zhengyi was also on annual leave at home and did not go to work, but by chance he went to the Yahoo website to find something, and as soon as he saw Gu Cheng on the hot search, Sun Zhengyi was angry for a while.

Although Gu Cheng's investment and business in the film industry have nothing to do with him Sun Zhengyi. But after all, Gu Cheng has such a deep bond with him, Sun Zhengyi naturally doesn't mind using all the means that don't increase the cost to attack Gu Cheng in an all-round way.

He did not hesitate to call the head of the operation and maintenance department and used his authority as the boss behind the scenes.

"Baga! How to maintain the collection algorithm of the operation and maintenance department! Get rid of all the hot search links related to "Sunset in Sanchome"! Give you fifteen minutes, if you can't figure it out, you won't have to go to work after New Year's Day!"

The person in charge of the operation and maintenance department on duty was reprimanded by the big boss, and he was immediately very panicked, under great pressure, and begged for mercy to implement it immediately.

Then as soon as he hung up the phone, he ran around to deal with it, harmonized the hot search portal about Gu Cheng's new movie, and adjusted the sorting of search results. The links that are the most sought after and say the most good things are all ranked at the back, and the bad reviews are all ranked at the front, so that when users search for the name of this movie, they try to turn a dozen pages to see the links to the good reviews.

After some operation, I finally suppressed the positive information about Gu Cheng on Yahoo Fusang as much as possible.

It's a pity that Sun Zhengyi's energy and ability can only suppress the situation of Yahoo Engine. The discussion about Gu Cheng and "Sunset in the Three Chomes" on other channels, Sun Zhengyi is beyond the reach.

For example, YY.com, which has a good momentum in Fusang, is full of people sharing their experience of watching movies on this day, and almost all of this information can be hot spots in social circles.

At the beginning of 2004, there were only 1.5 million users on the other side of the ocean, and the circle was limited to major universities in the United States, including the East Coast and California. At that time, YY.com, the investment community valued it at no more than 50 million US dollars.

HOWEVER, AFTER THIS YEAR'S DEVELOPMENT, WITH GU CHENG'S ABUNDANT CAPITAL INJECTION, AS WELL AS THE PRECISE DEPLOYMENT EFFORTS OF LI YING, ZUCKERBERG, SAVERIN AND SEVERAL OTHERS, THE DEVELOPMENT SPEED OF YY IS NOT MUCH FASTER THAN FACEBOOK IN THE SAME PERIOD IN HISTORY.

Throughout the first half of 2004, YY further spread to almost all levels of college campuses in the United States, no longer limited to the East Coast and California.

Because it first rose in the Ivy League and the UC Department and Stanford Department in California, YY.com's status in the contempt chain of the United States should not be underestimated. Once the channel sinks, it is very compelling in a less famous university. Coupled with its invitation-based hunger marketing strategy, the vast majority of student users think that "when there is already MySpace, it is a very face-saving thing to open a YY space and expose your personal social circle".

At the end of June, the number of users of YY in the country reached 6.8 million, accounting for almost 60% of the total number of undergraduate students in the country (in 2005, there were 11 million undergraduate students in the country, including 6.8 million public and 4.2 million private). Another 6.5 million people have two-year post-secondary education institutions, which are equivalent to domestic junior colleges, but one year less than domestic junior colleges. )

Since the beginning of the summer vacation, under Zuckerberg's suggestion and Li Ying's repeated planning, YY.com has launched a version for college and high school students, further relying on the contempt chain to beat other low-educated students who pretend to be forced. High school students and college students who were originally excluded from the social circle of YY network poured into YY network in just two months of summer vacation, and after the end of the third quarter, the scale of real-name users of YY network doubled again, reaching 13 million.

Now it's Christmas, the number of YY users in the United States has exceeded 20 million, in addition to the current students in the fourth quarter, many alumni who have graduated and embarked on the job have also fed back and joined the circle of YY.

At the same time, starting from the summer vacation, YY officially started the road of overseas expansion, and first invaded the four major English-speaking countries of the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in the summer, and cultivated the initial 1 million users in these four countries.

In the fourth quarter, Gu Cheng established two wholly-owned subsidiaries that were actually independent of YY.com, but still had the words 'YY Asia' on their names. It is controlled by the actual shareholding of Eslite Holdings, and theoretically ranks alongside Renren and YY.

This company disguised itself as the East Asian subsidiary of YY.com, and under the strong culture of "rice country father", it came to Fusang and Dongyi to grab user resources. Starting with Todai, Waseda, Seoul University, and Sungkyunkwan University, in just one month, we took advantage of the advantages and experience of Renren and YY.com to capture more than a dozen of the top universities in Fuso and Dongyi, and then began to sink the channel, and developed more than 1 million users in just three months.

Although the audience is not large, it is a well-known high-pressure social circle software.

In fact, Gu Cheng also wanted to directly use "Renren" to make an overseas version, but in the end, considering that it was difficult for Fusang and Dongyi people to accept the cultural invasion of China, and for the things of "Mi Dad", these "foreign slaves" were very acceptable, so Gu Cheng could only put on a skin and "quietly enter the village".

On the other hand, the content published on the "Renren Network" is subject to the supervision and harmony of the state, and foreigners obviously do not accept this set, especially the consistent cultural tradition of the Fuso people is that the government cannot supervise the public opinion media, in order to prevent the Fuso people from resisting, Gu Cheng did not use the "Renren Network" after comprehensive consideration.

In Gu Cheng's layout, in the future, "Renren" will be used to deal with countries with content censorship, while "YY" will be deployed to countries with non-censored content, and the content of the two systems cannot be interconnected, and each of them will become a "local area network".

At the moment, when Sun Zhengyi is frantically encircling the promotional information and praise portal about "Sunset of Sanchome" on Yahoo Fuso, tens of thousands of circle users on "YY Asia" are becoming the five-yen file of their own dry food to build momentum for "Sunset of Sanchome".

In just one afternoon, Sun Zhengyi was stunned to find that what he once didn't want the people of Fusang to see, or hoped that the people of Fusang would see later, now easily bypassed his breakwater.

The battle between Gu Cheng and Sun Zhengyi is no longer limited to the one-third of an acre of land in the online game circle, but has already killed Sun Zhengyi's lair.
