When Sun Zhengyi and Ma Teng tried to lick their wounds together and further develop and strengthen the Gu Alliance, Gu Cheng didn't know what the other party was plotting specifically. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

He only knew that the other party must have conspired "something".

It was about late April.

Early in the morning, Gu Cheng, who was about to get up and start work, habitually complained as soon as he woke up:

"Eh, it's really unlucky, why are the enemies all piling up to trouble me, can't you be like the boss in the fantasy novel, send the little brother to send experience in batches to let me fight monsters and upgrade?"

Looking at the "World of Warcraft" agency agreement signed by Blizzard, as well as Wu Yue Satellite TV's contract for transferring the "Girls' Generation" network broadcast rights, Gu Cheng's heart can be a little more balanced.

He also knows that as a bigwig in the real world, his life can't be as cool as the fantasy world with the aura of the mentally handicapped.

The history of the development of the real world is RTS games like "Age of Empires", or at least turn-based strategy/strategy games like "Three Kingdoms". In the middle of the period, after crossing the turning point of strength, the soldiers will have a lot of food in Guangcheng, and directly storm the army to level the past, and the enemy will be destroyed, and there will be no twists and turns.

And the fantasy world with the halo of the mentally handicapped is an RPG game like "Dragon Ball". No matter how badly the previous boss was beaten, when the next boss appears, the narrator will read: The previous boss is not even worthy of lifting shoes for this boss!

It's really so awesome, why did you go earlier? and let the little brother send equipment?

Ma Teng, Zhou Hongyi, Sun Zhengyi, none of them are mentally retarded.

Because of this, they are all very keen and far-sighted. When he saw that the inflection point was coming, he tangled all his strength to keep warm, trying to fight back against Gu Cheng to the death.

"Aren't you going to review too many novels on our novel website lately? ”

When Gu Cheng was distracted, Pan Jieying personally held a porcelain jar of fresh hot milk and a few slices of light lettuce, blueberry and avocado toast, and placed them on the table next to Gu Cheng's bed. While pulling the curtains open for him, he complained.

"Why, I'll just say it casually. In the past two days, I have to coordinate the final revision plan of the NICONICO video network before the release of "Girls' Generation", and there is a lot of pressure. Gu Cheng rolled up from the bed with a carp and washed up indiscriminately. Then pick up the breakfast and eat it unceremoniously.

"Vegan again. After taking a bite of the toast, Gu Cheng couldn't help but want to complain, reached out to hold Pan Jieying's wrist, and discussed flatteringly, "Why don't you let the cook at home get it for me next time?" ”

Pan Jieying refused with a frosty face: "No! Give you two months of vegetarian to reduce the fire, so that you don't always be irritable! This month, the web has been used more than before! You are so disgusting!"

Gu Cheng's expression immediately fell: "It's not that you have to break up with me, you're embarrassed to say it." ”

Since he went to Fusang to participate in the Academy Awards, he has already begun to have a pure heart and few desires, and he has been counting his days for two whole months.

It seems that Pan Jieying is serious this time, so Gu Cheng didn't use it. He sighed, threw his plate into the pool, and prepared to go to work.

"Hey, I thought you were going to do it again, why did you learn to be good today. On the way to work, sitting in the back seat of the car, Pan Jieying was distraught and tested the other party.

In the first few days after returning to China, she put down her cruel words and said, "Gu Cheng is not right, and she won't let him touch him if she finds a girlfriend to marry", Gu Cheng also tried to resist. Every time, Pan Jieying was happy to make rules and suppress Gu Cheng back.

This time, Gu Cheng didn't resist and accepted her fate, and she panicked.

"Eh, you said that you women are not troublesome, and you said that you want to break up, and you will show me a look when I reconcile with you, and you are not happy if I accept my fate. Gu Cheng poked back cancerously, too lazy to take care of it.

was scolded back by Gu Cheng with such a cold face, Pan Jieying couldn't help but burst into tears all of a sudden: "Do you think I want to push you into the arms of other women! It's not for your good! It's for your family's good! You have such a big business, so dangerous, and there is no one at home, people are worried about you." ”

Gu Cheng's scalp exploded for a while: "You are here again!"

The sound insulation of the car is very good, and the driver can't see the situation in the rear compartment, Pan Jieying is not afraid of ugliness, and leans on Gu Cheng's shoulder: "Actually, I am wronged, I have been the best for you since I was a child." If I had been next to you at the time, I would have been able to block the bullet for you! Why Xiaoya! I'm not reconciled!"

Gu Cheng's brain couldn't turn around, so he had to soothe Geng Zhi with blunt words, and it took a long time to roughly understand the other party's mentality.

Pan Jieying is actually a bit deformed to him.

How to say it, just like all the sisters of the sister treasure man, it is a bit similar to the "sister fan" of the combination of "fresh meat BOY" in later generations, and is proud of "the whole world is not good to my family XXX, only I am the best for my family XX and loves him the most". There is no room for any doubt on this point.

If they find out that other women are better than they are to that boy, they will feel that their dignity has been insulted.

Therefore, after Gu Cheng was injured, on the one hand, Pan Jieying did occupy a "righteous name" and wanted to find another girlfriend for him. On the other hand, it is the subconscious feeling that "how can I be compared to Xiao Yabi?"

It is impossible for her to block Gu Cheng's bullets like Quan Baoya, so she can only find a woman for Gu Cheng, and use the bargaining chip of "generosity" in exchange for continuing to maintain the psychological advantage of "I am the best for Ah Cheng among all girls".

After thinking about this, it cleared some psychological obstacles for Gu Cheng's blackening, of course, these are all later words.

……

"Mr. Gu is early. ”

"Mr. Gu is early!"

As soon as he arrived at the company, the technical and operational leaders of the NICONICO video website had expired, waiting for Gu Cheng to deploy the meeting to discuss technical optimization for the launch of the big variety show represented by "Girls' Generation".

NICONICO'S TEAM INCLUDES ENGINEERS AND DESIGNERS RECRUITED FROM FUSO, AS WELL AS THOSE TRANSFERRED FROM AGIA IN LOS ANGELES, INVOLVING DECODERS. The details of the composition of these engineering teams naturally need not be repeated.

THE CTO OF THE PROJECT, GU CHENG USED YAO JIAN, WHO WAS DUG FROM SOHU JUMPING SHIP-THERE ARE TALENTS IN ANY COUNTRY, ESPECIALLY TECHNICAL TALENTS IN THE VIDEO WEBSITE, THERE IS NO UNIQUENESS, SO GU CHENG WILL NOT DELIBERATELY GO TO THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OCEAN TO FIND CHEN SHIJUN, THE CTO OF YOUTUBE IN HISTORY.

Chen Shijun is now just a loser who was dismissed from PayPal, if Gu Cheng predicted that the other party was super awesome, he had to use him, but it would be difficult to convince the public.

In contrast, Yao Jian has more technical qualifications in the domestic IT circle, and it is easy to manage the technical team. He has been in the industry for eight years and has worked on many projects. In another history, he stayed at Youku for ten years, and the boss changed several times, and he has always been the CTO.

Yao Jian is a short-haired watermelon head with abrupt cheekbones, and at first glance he is a science and engineering man who can't rely on his face to eat, but only on his talent.

"Let's not talk nonsense, let's put "Girls' Generation" on NICONICO, there are still many resources in technical details, let's go through it carefully little by little. Gu Cheng was not polite to others, and directly cut to the point.

THE YOUTUBE WEBSITE ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE OCEAN HAS JUST BEEN ESTABLISHED THIS MONTH, BUT YOUTUBE IS NOT THE EARLIEST ONLINE VIDEO SITE IN THE CIRCLE, BUT IT HAS ONLY GROWN BIGGER. THERE ARE ALSO A FEW PIONEERS THAT ARE A MONTH OR TWO EARLIER THAN YOUTUBE, BUT THEY FINALLY HANG UP BECAUSE THE TECHNICAL ROUTE IS NOT UP TO THE MARK, OR FOR OTHER REASONS.

It is precisely because this is a new thing that Ma Teng feels that Gu Cheng's variety show is unreliable on the video website.

And what Gu Cheng wants to take advantage of is the information asymmetry in this.

Yao Jian spread out a material report and said: "According to repeated stress tests, the website can currently ensure that the definition of the self-operated video is stably controlled at 270P image quality, and the rest of the content uploaded by the third-party UP master can only support 180P."

The playback decoder has been jointly developed with AGEIA、The new version launched this year,It has passed the stress test,There has been a certain improvement in video splitting buffering and binning buffering,It can definitely be compared to other websites on the market。 ”

"Be specific. Gu Cheng asked.

"We analyzed other early video websites, and when the input and output network speeds of both parties were the same, the main reasons for the lag were nothing more than three aspects:

First of all, when the user UP the content, it will be stuck and delayed, and the uploaded content will be stored directly in the original format on the website, resulting in the decoder efficiency not being uniform when watching. Some videos on the same website are in MP4 format, some in .AVI format, and MPEG. The more chaotic the video format on the server side of a website, the more computing and transmission resources need to be wasted on the user side, and the video will naturally be stuck.

HOWEVER, ONLY MOST UNPROFESSIONAL WEBSITES WILL MAKE THIS MISTAKE IN THIS REGARD, I HEARD THAT THERE IS A NEW WEBSITE CALLED YOUTUBE IN CALIFORNIA, AND IN THIS REGARD, IT HAS CHOSEN 'PRE-PROCESSING ON THE SERVER SIDE, NO MATTER WHAT VIDEO THE USER UP, THE WEBSITE SIDE WILL RE-UNIFY THE FORMAT ENCODING AND COMPRESSION', WHICH IS CONDUCIVE TO THE USE OF A UNIFIED AND EFFICIENT DECODER FOR PLAYBACK IN THE FUTURE.

WE'VE OPTIMIZED THIS TO DO BETTER THAN YOUTUBE, BECAUSE YOUTUBE DOESN'T HAVE ITS OWN BROWSER PRODUCT, AND WE HAVE AN ALIPAY SECURE BROWSER, AS WELL AS A LIBRARY OF ADD-ONS THAT SUPPORT WEB GAMES. As long as the user uses the browser of our brother company to watch the video, the decoding efficiency and network speed can be better squeezed.

SECONDLY, THE SECOND BIGGEST REASON FOR USERS TO LAG DURING PLAYBACK IS THE PACKAGING OF VIDEO BUFFERING - AT PRESENT, ALL WEBSITES ON THE MARKET, INCLUDING YOUTUBE, ARE BUFFERED FROM BEGINNING TO END WITH A VIDEO FILE, WHICH IS NO PROBLEM WHEN PLAYING SMALL FILES, BUT IT IS VERY TROUBLESOME TO BROADCAST VARIETY SHOWS, BECAUSE USERS WILL WANT TO SKIP SOME CLIPS, AND THE EXISTING MODE DOES NOT SUPPORT FAST SKIPPING.

In order to solve this problem, we have recently innovatively discussed several countermeasures, mainly to divide the video into image quality grades, segment and 'slice', and back up two files of the same file on the server side according to 270P and 180P resolutions. At the same time, slice the long-term large files into 3-minute short videos, and if the user drags the progress bar in a large area, skip the first few 3-minute buffer packets and download them directly from the middle section......"

Yao Jian said a lot of technical details, and Gu Cheng didn't have to understand them all thoroughly.

He grasped the big and let go of the small, and roughly summed up the main idea of the NICONICO network to solve the lag today: if you can waste more resources on the server side, you can use less resources on the client side.

It is better to waste 5 points of preprocessing computation on the server than 1 point of preprocessing computation on the client side.

This optimization idea is undoubtedly correct.

Because Blizzard is also optimizing the upcoming "World of Warcraft" in this way.

The reason why "World of Warcraft" is not stuck compared to online games with the same image quality, the same modeling, and the same amount of data in the same period is that the trick is here, and the trick is here, from the point of "we calculate more, give more steps and processing results, so that the user's computer can calculate less and transmit as little data as possible at network speed." ”
