Chapter 27: "Swipe and Click"
Huang Tingting's micro. Beau now has nearly 6,000 followers. Since Xu Fu has uploaded all the storyboards, it can be regarded as spreading the influence of the work. At present, the number that reflects the "popularity of works" in real time has reached more than 4,000 people. There is still a long way to go from the "130,000 people" that Xu Fu needed to complete the task.
Xu Fufa Wei. Bo promotes it, hoping to attract some clicks to the video. He counted on six thousand micro. Followers can convert a certain number of clicks. For Xu Fu now, the number of clicks is extremely valuable. Even a little bit more is likely to increase the chips that the editor sees.
In order to know in his heart, Xu Fu then went online to check the recommendation mechanism of Youku.com. For what reasons will the editors of Uku give a recommendation? It's always good to know more.
Xu Fu searched for a long time, but there was no official answer. There are all kinds of explanations, and Xu Fu is even more confused when he sees it. I feel that Youku's recommendation to grassroots uploaders is more like winning the lottery, and there is no pattern at all. It's luck to get it, and it's normal not to get it.
But this should not be the case. Uku is a star company in the NASDAQ's "China Concept Stocks", and it is impossible to operate in the way of a small workshop. It should have a standard process for screening, recommendation, but it is not publicly disclosed. Maybe it's because I'm afraid that after it is made public, it will lead to the homogenization of the video, destroy the ecological structure, and so on.
Xu Fu currently focuses on Youku. After all, Youku is now the leader of the video website, and there is a so-called "photosynthetic plan". Although other video websites are also known as "China's largest video portal", "China's first video sharing website", etc., but after all, they are a step behind, and they do not pay much attention to supporting newcomers, so they are not suitable for Xu Fu.
After Xu Fu finished getting Youku, he held the idea of a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and registered a "Zhefu Team" account on other video websites to upload videos. Even if it's not a chance, it's still an opportunity, maybe you'll be lucky enough to bump into it?
Even those are done. What's next? Xu Fu thought in his heart, can he only resign himself to fate?
The three girls of Qu Jingmo also know the importance of clicking, which means whether they can make a sequel smoothly! They seemed to have quietly made a decision, and said to Xu Fu, "Let's go back first." Call again if you have something! ”
Xu Fu is almost going back. When he returned to the dormitory, he asked a few roommates to search for "Ghost House" on Youku and give some comments.
"Not bad! It took less than a month to do this. It's much better than the micro-movie that the school spent 500,000 yuan on its last school anniversary! A roommate read it and was impressed.
The best thing about "Ghost House" is the performance of the two leading actors, as if they were professional actors. If it weren't for them supporting the scene, this work would definitely not be good-looking.
The roommate who had been on a trip with Xu Fu before asked Xu Fu with some complicated emotions: "Can this movie make money?" ”
"I don't want to make money just yet. When there is popularity, the money will come. Xu Fu said.
"How much money can you make then?"
Xu Fu shook his head, "It's not a score." I don't want to go that far yet. ”
Xu Fu really didn't think much about this now. He knows that there is a phenomenon on the Internet that the investment and the return are never proportional. Either disproportionately less or disproportionately more.
When the time comes, what should be his will be his. Xu Fu must now improve himself. The first work made him find a lot of shortcomings, especially the editing skills that had no internal logic, and they needed to be improved urgently.
He was lying down reading a theory book in the late stages of the film. Qu Jingmo called, and she asked Xu Fu anxiously: "We are brushing clicks, why have we been brushing for fifteen minutes, and the clicks have risen so much?" ”
"Swipe click?" Xu Fu sat up suddenly. How does Quzi do this? You can do anything! Not afraid of being banned?
He hurriedly said, "You guys stop first!" Why don't you say a word to me? If the site detects it, it will punish us! ”
"Huh? So serious? Qu Jingmo was shocked, and then shouted: "Li Faka!" Huang Tingting! Don't brush it anymore! ”
Then, she said aggrievedly: "I don't want to make the data look good." That way you'll be able to get the sponsorship from the little girl. ”
Qu Jingmo has something to say, but Xu Fu can't care about it now. He asked anxiously, "What software do you use to swipe the clicks?" ”
"Software? What software? Qu Jingmo was confused.
Xu Fu was stunned: "It's not software?" So how do you brush it? ”
"It's just that we keep refreshing the page! Click the mouse, press F5, and repeat this repeatedly, and your left and right fingers will not get tired...... We've brushed it thousands of times! There are still only so many clicks! ”
"......" Xu Fu was speechless, imagining that the three girls were nervous about repeatedly refreshing the page on the computer, and they swiped it for fifteen minutes in a row, this picture was too funny.
He asked again: "Didn't you find out earlier that the clicks didn't go up?" ”
Qu Jingmo said weakly: "I found it." It was Li Faka who said that the data of many websites is not displayed in real time. It's going to take a while to see growth. So we kept brushing it...... Have we wasted our efforts? Don't give us a rise at all? But we pressed it so hard that our hands were sore......"
Xu Fu knew the approximate principle of click counting, and after giving her popular science, he said: "The three of you all use the same IP, and it should only be counted as one click." ”
"Huh?!" Qu Jingmo sighed very depressedly, because he felt very embarrassed, so he immediately hung up the phone.
A false alarm, Xu Fu felt a little regretful in his heart, if only he could see Qu Jingmo's expression at this time. From the beginning of knowing her, she has looked like a sister. Everything can be handled in an orderly manner. Xu Fu had never seen her make a fool.
……
At this time. In one of the capital's buildings, the floors of Uku's headquarters are still lit. Just like during the day, it's still busy at night.
Among them are several intern editors who are looking for a needle in a haystack to find original videos with highlights. They are preliminary, and as long as the videos meet the criteria, they are screened out and then handed over to the content editor for judgment. Content editing is passed, and then submitted to the channel editor for recommendation.
The primary selection criteria for intern editors are "hot spots", "highlights" and "laughing points". As long as a work has distinctive characteristics, it will pass the selection criteria.
It seems simple, but it's actually hard to achieve. Most of the videos are short things in parents, and no one likes to watch them at all.
Like a video titled "Shooting a Black Heart Factory". The title is attractive, but in the first three minutes of the video, people are walking, dangling, and they can't see anything clearly. This must not pass.
Next"The first micro-film of the new team of Polytechnic University" is also not up to standard. The micro-movie is funny with last year's Internet popular meme, but the theme is a bitter love drama, which has neither a highlight nor a laugh.
As a result of the screening, an intern editor clicked on a video called "Ghost House". Before she saw it, she was a little surprised. Horror films?
If the content does not comply with national regulations, she will not only not be able to recommend it, but will also have to ban the video. Wait until tomorrow when the review editor comes to work, and decide whether to delete it or not.
The intern editors are mentally prepared to watch horror movies, but they didn't expect the taste to be very light. Looking at the beginning, the intern editor thought he understood the plot, a boy met a very cute female ghost.
The advantages of this video are clear at a glance, that is, the actors are particularly beautiful. The actor who plays the female ghost is a petite beauty. The actor is a prince charming who is rare in reality.
Li Hairka has a close-up at the beginning, her face, with the hairstyle of Yumin when she first debuted last week, is so handsome that it explodes. The intern editor, who is a girl, pressed pause during the close-up, looked at it for a while, and then called out to her colleagues to come and watch: "I found something good!" Come and see this video! ”
Immediately a few people gathered around. When the woman saw the close-up of Li Fake, she covered her mouth, as if she had been shot in the heart. How can there be such a handsome little boy!
"Did the uploader of this video write the address when he registered? Do you have a phone number? A colleague asked. Not necessarily doing anything, but just curious.
"Cut! Looks like a sissy. A male editor said.
"She's not a sissy, she's a girl!" After the intern editor finished, I will show you the video introduction. It was clearly written that the male lead was a girl.
"Girl?" The male editor was still not convinced: "You also like women?" ”
"She's playing a man! We just have to like the role......" said the intern editor, and the other female editors nodded their heads in disappointment.
After the pause ends, the micro-film resumes. In addition to being handsome beyond reality, the male protagonist behaves like an ordinary boy in other aspects. Every ordinary action of his will scare the female ghost.
It's quite a novelty. Several editors thought.
Now the products are abundant, and the spiritual food is everywhere. People are really tired of looking at any genre. If you want to attract attention, then you have to use some means that others don't have. If you can't win with exquisite quality and impeccable plot, then you can only rely on novelty to fight for the position.
Like now, several editors are fascinated by this unusual unfolding and wonder what will happen next for "Haunted House"? You can't just end up like this, right? In the end, will the female ghost show up unbearable? But how does the female ghost end up after she appears?
In the eleventh minute, the "female ghost" ate the instant noodles soaked by the male protagonist, and her behavior suddenly became strange. Like a psychic, he began to speak into the air: "I know that you are good-natured, but you have been lost to your mind by resentment......"
This isn't the line the hell should say! Several editors were stunned and didn't react.
In the movie, the male protagonist covered his head and made a painful appearance, and then the "female ghost" looked in the direction of the male protagonist and said, "I finally saw you." You're dead and shouldn't be left on earth anymore......"
Due to the lack of special effects, the meaning of the script cannot be conveyed well to the audience. The audience who watched the interaction between the hero and heroine for ten minutes had to figure it out for themselves before they could figure out that "this moment is the first time the hero and heroine meet each other".
Immediately after that, there was a flashback in the movie, and the story was quickly played from the beginning from a different perspective. Only then did the truth come out. The identity of the hero and heroine is reversed. The previous absurd plot is also explained.
