The Perak barrage video site was founded in 09, while Wanbao Video was founded in 11.

Due to the early establishment period and the good community atmosphere, even if Wanbao Video has been catching up in the past two years, the user base is still an order of magnitude worse than the other party.

Why is the number of views lower?

Quality problem?

This is very unlikely and almost impossible. You must know that Thunderbolt and Wanbao Video are "competitors", how can the quality of the works that can be promoted by them be poor?

After all, it's a fight!

Both sites are competing with each other for users, and at this critical juncture, the quality of the anime works promoted by the websites is definitely one of the best in the same period.

And the anime called "Reincarnated as a Prince, This Country Is All Girls Except for Me", Gu Miao also went to watch the first episode.

It felt okay.

can't say it's better than "The Elf at the Beginning, I Was Confessed by the Elf Patriarch", but the two should be at the same level, and the gap can't be widened.

Then there is a problem with this playback.

After eliminating various external factors, Gu Miao learned the answer from the technical department.

The algorithm is different!

That's right! The method of calculating video views on the Perak side is different from that on the Wanbao Video side.

To be more precise, Wanbao video website is not rigorous enough. As long as the user clicks on the video, whether he watches it for 1 second or 1 hour, it is all counted as a playback.

This creates a great deal of moisture.

On the other hand, competitors pay more attention to a "completion rate" data. In other words, the calculation of the number of views requires the user to "watch the video" or "watch more than half" to calculate.

"This is good, you can learn it."

After Gu Miao learned the truth of the matter, he immediately asked the technical team to upgrade the existing playback algorithm of Wanbao Video, eliminate excess water, and make the data more intuitive and reliable.

The technical team is also very helpful.

After receiving Mr. Gu's instructions, he quickly came up with a new playback algorithm. According to the algorithm, the playback volume of the animation "Initial Elf at the Beginning" was recalculated.

The results show that 7.682 million!

"Whew! It scared the hell out of me......"

Lao Zhang was shocked on the side and said: "I thought that if we remove the water, we will have to cut the number of broadcasts in half, and only about half of it is left!" Unexpectedly, after updating the algorithm, there are more than seven million. ”

"This gap is acceptable."

Gu Miao is also very satisfied, judging from this playback, as the main promoter of the website, the gap between Wanbao Video and Thunderbolt has become smaller and smaller.

It can even be said that the number of users of the two companies is almost the same.

This is definitely good news.

You know, there are so many fans and users who like two-dimensional animation works on the whole network. If Wanbao Video wants to develop, it must eat the share of its friends.

And now, Wanbao Video has started from scratch, relying on a number of popular phenomenal animation works of Wanbao Animation, and has accumulated so many users, and the contribution of friends is definitely not low.

"But Mr. Gu ......"

Although Lao Zhang is also very optimistic about the future prospects of Wanbao Video, he said very painfully: "I have lost too much to engage in this kind of website!" ”

It has been two years since Wanbao Video was established.

During these two years, almost every year, every quarter, every month, all of them were in a state of net loss. And the amount of losses is higher and higher year by year.

Previously, Gu Miao continued to dilute his shares and introduce a number of strategic investors.

The idea is good.

Including Mr. Tan, Mr. Xiong and others, they also invested a little money in Wanbao Video and became shareholders.

However, with the increase in the amount of losses on the website, there is no hope of making a profit, and the listing is even more far away, and these shareholders have the idea of "divestment".

"This kid surnamed Gu, don't look honest, but he has a bad stomach......"

As a shareholder, he said mercilessly at the last board meeting: "The big guy trusts you and invests in your company, but you are losing money every month and every year, when will you lose money?" ”

"Give me back the money, I won't play anymore......"

"If you don't want money, you need to die! Mr. Big Bear, you have been in the industry for so many years, you haven't heard a word, right? Gu Miao said with a smile, "Investment is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the industry!" ”

"What's more, if we lose, others will also lose! Which of these companies engaged in video websites is not losing money and accumulating users? ”

"Heaven Descends"

I am worried that Wanbao Video will lose money year after year, and the amount will be higher and higher year by year, which will make this batch of unjust ...... The investors were scared away, and Gu Miao painted a cake for them.

"Three years! At most, we will lose another three years, and when we sit firmly in the top spot of the domestic two-dimensional video website, we will go to the market to list Ka leek, so that you can return to blood. ”

To be honest, Gu Miao was also distressed.

His money is not blown by the wind, he loses money every month, and he loses money every year, and he can't see the endless investment of hope at all, and he is panicked after a long time.

And most importantly......

In the video website area, to be honest, it is really difficult to make a profit. In the previous life, Bilibili could only make money by tinkering with "mobile games" and "membership purchases"?

Even so, he still can't make ends meet, and his stock price falls at a loss every year, so that his mother doesn't recognize it.

In comparison, Wanbao Video is better.

Although it is also losing money, because most of the websites are "self-made animations" and do not spend too much money to buy copyrights, the loss range is still within the acceptable range.

"Don't worry, Lao Zhang!"

Gently patting Lao Zhang's shoulder, Gu Miao said firmly: "You don't have to worry about the shareholders, I have already done ideological work for them." ”

"As for the loss, we can afford it anyway, so let's lose it. Everyone is losing, it's up to who can have the last laugh. ”

"That's ...... too"

Lao Zhang nodded, as if he had thought of something, and said with a sad face: "By the way, Mr. Gu, I almost forgot to say it." Perak seems to have set up an animation investment company. ”

They also do homemade anime?

It's amazing!

I've heard it before, and it seems that Thunderbolt is interested in developing into animation. Gu Miao had always thought it was a rumor before, but he didn't expect them to come to the truth.

Well, Wanbao Video is backed by Wanbao Animation and Beep Comics, and Penguin Video is backed by Plum Blossom Animation and Penguin and Penguin Comics Network.

Perak has also set up an animation investment department, determined to make a big splash in the field of animation production......

Almost half of the domestic video websites have gone down in person and participated in the production of animation.

The competition is getting tougher!

Although for Wanbao, these video sites run across industries to engage in anime, most of them will not have any impact.

But Gu Miao is still looking forward to it.

These are video websites,To be the capital of the Internet,Stepping into the field of animation production,What changes will it bring to the Guoman industry?

It should be very lively!
