Rebirth of the big era of online games

Chapter 371: The Game Live Streaming Was Slapped in the Face

The industry of live webcasting probably started in 2011 in the previous life and flourished in 2015.

The present Fang Jie made the webcast almost 10 years ahead of schedule, obviously there are still many conditions that are not very mature.

The biggest problem is the speed of the Internet.

What he said at the meeting generally reaches 10M network speed, which only refers to first- and second-tier cities, while individual Internet users in third- and fourth-tier cities and towns generally have a network speed of 1M or 2M. users of high-speed Internet.

The Internet speed of Internet cafes is better, but the speed is generally limited. It is no problem to watch ordinary resolution videos online through streaming media technology, but the user experience will be very bad when watching live broadcasts.

Not to mention in 2003, this problem still exists even in 2020. Even if you watch the live broadcast with a 100M network speed, there will be freezes. Of course, it is Blu-ray or even original picture quality that will freeze, low resolution The high resolution is still fine, but the low resolution user experience is also not good.

However, Fang Jie decided to make the live webcast ahead of time.

Everyone guessed right, he was indeed looking for a reason for himself to play games.

At present, Boiling Group has completed the layout in several major directions of the Internet industry related to games, and after three years of precipitation and development, many things no longer need to be handled by him personally.

In the future, there may be industrial layouts in mobile Internet, new energy, cloud services, artificial intelligence, quantum communication, etc., but these have to wait for the right time and continue to accumulate wealth.

During the waiting period, most of his time will be devoted to the game experience.

After all, the purpose of rebirth is not to make a fortune, or the purpose of making a fortune is also to experience the game better, it is for fun, if this life is only busy making money, then what is the point of living in this life?
Furthermore, it is also necessary to establish promotion channels for webcasting.

Why do stand-alone games, console games, and independent games become popular in China in later generations, and players are willing to pay?

Not because of the steam platform, but because of the channel promotion of online game anchors!

That's the key!
You must know that the steam platform came out together with version 2002 of "CS" last year, that is, in 1.4.

It took nearly 20 years for the steam platform in the previous life to become popular in China, so it is definitely not because of itself, but because of the game anchors.

In the beginning, in order to find live broadcast content, game anchors bought various games on the steam platform that domestic players hadn’t experienced before for live broadcast. Once spread to ten, ten to hundreds, games and game platforms have gradually become popular.

Whether the game is fun, whether it is high-quality, whether it is attractive, these are really important.

But if there is no channel to promote, the wine fragrance will be afraid of deep alleys!

The layout of the game live broadcast industry has the same significance as the strategic layout of the Internet cafe industry at the beginning.

No matter how powerful games, software, websites, and Internet companies are, the vast majority of domestic users will eventually have to access them through Internet cafes. As long as they control the grassroots channel of Internet cafes, we can push whoever we want and block whomever we want , everything is up to us!
If the promotion channels are subdivided, then the subdivided promotion channels for games are game live broadcasts.

If there is no game live broadcast for channel promotion, no one will know how fun the games on the steam platform are, and if Boiling Games wants to build its own game platform, it must first establish a game live broadcast channel that can bring huge publicity effects .

During the Chinese New Year in 2002, under the reminder of his father Fang Wanxing, Fang Jie found the methodology of "grasping the main contradiction". So last year, he solved the "contradiction between the small number of netizens and too many game products", turning TV users into Internet users.

And this year, Fang Jie believes that the main contradiction in the future will be "the contradiction between too many low-quality game products and low-quality game companies and too many choices for players, at a loss, and the high cost of drug testing." The contradiction between the quantity and the quality of the game does not match".

Don't you guys have no lower limit for game capital? Do you dare to act as an agent to collect money no matter what rubbish games?

Then let’s set up a game live broadcast platform, find a group of game anchors to help the majority of players to test the drug, and shoot you before you officially collect money, and in the end the survival of the fittest, good games will further attract a large number of game anchors and players Once settled in, garbage games will naturally be ignored.

The game live streaming platform is like a magic mirror, letting those junk games and game companies have nowhere to hide, forcing game capital to seriously spend their minds on making games and patiently cultivating game talents, so as to promote the benign development of the entire game industry Evolve and progress!

Fang Jie has always acted like this. He usually does not adopt a positive approach to solve problems. This will make more enemies than friends. It is a sign of lack of skill and wisdom.

He just finds another way to save the country. We don't engage in monopoly, and we don't cut you across the board, but we will force you to follow the right path and do the right thing with us, otherwise you will decide whether you can survive.

To put it bluntly, it’s called blocking rather than sparse, and to put it bluntly, it’s called killing people’s hearts, killing people without seeing blood. Compared with solving problems with toughness, this gentle knife is gentle, but it’s actually more thorough, and it’s hard to arouse the disgust of others .

However, the current domestic network speed is indeed a major constraint. If the basic hardware environment cannot be resolved, online live broadcasting will be difficult.

In fact, during the "Supergirl" finals last year, Boiling Video tried to broadcast live online, but the user experience was not very good, and the freeze was serious.

Network speed is one aspect, and there are also some technical problems in network transmission hardware equipment.

However, one year has passed, and the new network transmission equipment developed by Huawei has solved this problem.

After all, they do this professionally, and their technology research and development strength is strong, and Fang Jie has already communicated with Mr. Ren about the strategic layout of future communication technology. Last year's "Super Girl" finals webcast was a test, and this year has achieved a breakthrough. Progress has made a lot of technical accumulation for future mobile video, live broadcast and other related aspects.

As for the internet speed, communicate with China Telecom to urge them to increase the speed and reduce the price. At the same time, the boiling chain Internet cafes will directly increase the Internet speed, and the Internet speed of its Internet cafes will be uniformly increased to 1000 megabit broadband, ensuring the smooth operation of the live broadcast channel.

In other words, after the live broadcast channel is opened, if you surf the Internet in boiling Internet cafes, you can choose the live broadcast viewing mode, while home users and other Internet cafe users with slower Internet speeds can choose the delayed playback mode. The difference between the two The reason is that the former can interact with the anchor in the first time.

The so-called interaction is sending barrage.

That's right, when Fang Jie was planning the live broadcast platform, he also released the big killer barrage in advance.

However, this function can only be experienced in boiling Internet cafes with super fast Internet speed. If home users turn on the barrage, the live broadcast will be almost impossible to watch.

Everything is difficult at the beginning, and it is useless to rush, so take your time.

Boiling Entertainment is very efficient, and has accumulated technology in this area before. It took only half a month for Boiling Video to add a live game section.

On the day of opening, the content inside was very shabby. Currently, there is only one anchor, and that is Fang Jie, the owner of the company.

The promotion of the game live broadcast section is also very simple, directly in the game.

A week ago, all online games under Boiling Games, including "The Legend of Jinyong", underwent a maintenance update, and a column system for watching live games was added to the game, called: "Main Policy Teaches You How to Play Games".

The game also sends out system broadcasts from time to time: Every night at 8 o'clock, Fang Jie, the chairman of Boiling Group, the chief planner of many games under it, and the sneer maker, will take everyone to play games together!

What the hell!

Seeing this system broadcast, all the players froze.

In the past half a year, Fang Jie has almost disappeared and has never shown his face in the media. Although the news indirectly related to him is still frequently posted on the screen, everyone still misses his amazing performance in "Supergirl".

You must know that he has already gained a large number of fans for his "more high-profile" behaviors before, especially in the online games under Boiling Games, almost all players are his die-hard fans.

Some regard him as Bill Gates of Huaguo, a life mentor, and some like his humor and wisdom. Senior players are amazed at his understanding and brainstorming of the game, while MM players are mostly face control, it is his face. Worth the brain powder.

All in all, although Fang Jie's status in the minds of players is not supreme, he is at least an atypical superstar. Different groups of people can find qualities they like or admire in him.

So everyone watching him play games has become secondary, the main thing is to watch him, similar to a fanatical mentality of chasing stars.

This news has gone through a whole week of publicity and fermentation. Almost all players in the game know about it. Even players in other games either register an online game account under Boiling Games and enter the game to watch the live broadcast, or log in to Boiling Video to watch the live broadcast. .

During the daytime on July 7, with the help of software and hardware equipment and technical staff provided by Huawei, Fang Jie prepared all the preparations for the live broadcast at home.

At 8 o'clock in the evening, the first real global game live broadcast in the history of modern games officially started!
It is indeed the first time in the world, and this has never happened before in foreign countries.

In fact, there are some fans of Fang Jie abroad, mainly overseas students, but it is difficult for them to watch the live broadcast through the Internet. They can’t even watch the live broadcast in delayed mode. They can only watch the text live broadcast. What he said during the live broadcast and the game Behavior, there will be special personnel to explain in real time in the live chat room.

This is also an unconventional method in a special era. Not only overseas users, but even domestic players with poor network conditions can only wait for the delay while watching the text live broadcast.

But the effect is still pretty good.

It is said that the live broadcast will start at 8:7, but Fang Jie actually started at [-]:[-]. After all, there is a half-hour delayed live broadcast mode, and the amount must be made in advance.

Blessed are the users of the National Boiling Internet Café chain, who can watch the live broadcast half an hour earlier.

After the Internet speed of Boiling Internet Cafe has been fully improved, it is no problem to watch the real-time live broadcast and post barrage. This has also made Boiling Internet Cafe a golden sign in the Internet cafe industry. All over the country boiling chain Internet cafes are full of scenes.

Even when it was full, many people didn’t have a seat, so they simply squeezed into the Internet cafe to surround the players who surfed the Internet for free and live broadcast. A death order was given to all the people below: Whoever manages the Internet cafe has an accident, whoever gets out of class!
Although the live broadcast caused a lot of trouble for Boiling Internet Cafe, and also increased a lot of operating costs, everything was worth it.

What Fang Jie cares about is the Internet cafe, which is a grassroots network promotion channel, not the profit income of the Internet cafe. Even if the Boiling Internet cafe does not make money for a long time, he doesn't care, not to mention that the Internet cafe is still profitable at present.

Especially once the live broadcasting of games is started, the business of boiling Internet cafes will explode, and the first choice for netizens to go online in Internet cafes must be boiling Internet cafes.

It would be even better if other Internet cafes across the country followed suit. Not only would it be beneficial to Fang Jie’s entire Internet layout, but it would also greatly increase Telecom’s income. If Telecom is no longer short of money, it would be willing to spend a lot of money to upgrade network hardware equipment without raising prices. At the same time, the national Internet speed has also been increased.

In short, although it is only a game live broadcast project, it also involves all aspects, and it is still a big game.

At 7:20 p.m., there were already [-] people waiting in the live broadcast chat room. No one expected the surprise to come so suddenly, Fang Jie actually started the broadcast ahead of schedule.

It's a pity that this scene can only be seen by users who choose the live broadcast mode, and the users who choose this mode are basically players who surf the Internet at boiling Internet cafes. surprise.

"Hi, everyone, I'm Fang Jie."

Fang Jie greeted the camera with a warm smile.

This time, he didn't play the role of a sneer, but acted in his true colors. In other words, this is actually a kind of personality, down-to-earth and short-sighted.

At the same time as Fang Jie greeted, the already lively chat room became even more heated.

Countless information began to swipe the screen, making people overwhelmed, and then...

Then the server of the chat room crashed directly.

The consequence of the collapse is that all the messages sent by everyone have not received any response from the server, and they can only stare blankly.

Fortunately, the live video server is still normal, because Boiling Internet Café has updated the software of Boiling Video and installed a plug-in.

The function of this plug-in is that the video is only downloaded uniformly through the diskless workstation server of the Internet cafe, and other client computers only share the live video, so all computers watch the live broadcast through the LAN, without data exchange with the server of the video website.

In order to start the game live broadcast in this era, the Boiling Group has spent a lot of thought, and it is by no means as simple and easy as the later generations.

At this time, Fang Jie in the video seemed to understand the current situation through QQ, and he couldn't help but stare at the screen and said in a daze: "Just got the news, the server in the live chat room has blown up...but the live broadcast can still be watched normally, please be safe everyone Don't be impatient, our technicians are already dealing with it urgently."

At this point, he turned his head and said to someone with a half figure outside the screen: "The chat rooms on other websites are not broken, right? That's good, let's start..."

At this moment, the players and the audience are still in a daze, why the server blows up, this style doesn't want to boil at all!

The technical department must be lazy!

However, when the camera shifted to the person sitting next to him following Fang Jie's words, the audience's attention was instantly attracted - Li Qing!
What the hell!
It turned out that Fang Jie's girlfriend was there too!
This is really a big surprise!
Then followed the camera to observe the scene environment in the live broadcast, and everyone suddenly realized that Fang Jie was doing the live broadcast at home!

This is too down-to-earth, right?

Unlike later generations, it is normal for anchors to live broadcast at home. It is the first time for everyone to experience webcasting, and they think it will be very formal. In their imagination, they think that webcasters are just like TV anchors. Sit there well-dressed, and then give the introduction in a straight voice.

Who would have thought that Fang Jie would start broadcasting like this, which made everyone feel a little sloppy and self-willed, but also seemed to have a sense of intimacy, and the distance between the two parties no longer seemed so far away.

At this time, Fang Jie in the live broadcast screen smiled and said to the camera: "This is the first time in the history of live video broadcasting on the Internet. There must be problems of one kind or another. I will try to broadcast it, and everyone will try to watch it. , please bear with me. If the network speed is slow and there is a freeze, it is recommended to choose the delayed playback mode, otherwise the experience may not be very good..."

"However," Fang Jie paused and said again: "This time, all the online games under Boiling Games have their own live chat room servers, and the chat rooms under Tencent Entertainment, Netease Entertainment, and Sina Entertainment have also opened special areas. Simultaneous text live broadcast, players with poor internet speed can also follow this live broadcast through other channels."

Speaking of this, Fang Jie glanced sideways at Li Qing's computer screen, then turned his face and said, "Since the chat rooms on this site cannot speak normally and post barrage, I will ask Li Qing to pay attention to the chat rooms in each chat room. During the live broadcast, we will select some questions from everyone to answer.”

Before the words finished, Li Qing who was on the side suddenly giggled: "Haha, the netizens on Tencent said that they don't want to watch you play games, they want to hear you sing! Sing that song "Ordinary Road"!"

Fang Jie was taken aback for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "Singing? It's not impossible. But I don't have much preparation today, so I'll sing a song for everyone tomorrow night... By the way, in a few days, I will let the "Supergirl" singer Those few people also collectively started a live broadcast and held an online concert for you."

After a few seconds, Li Qing said, "They asked, when will this year's "Super Girl" audition start?"

"Due to some well-known reasons, this year's "Supergirl" will be postponed to September, and everyone is welcome to register enthusiastically..."

After thinking for a while, Fang Jie said again: "Well, I know that most of the people watching the live broadcast are male netizens, so I'm here to announce one thing in advance: Starting next year, Boiling Entertainment will hold "Super Boy", registration and competition rules It is exactly the same as "Supergirl". In the future, "Supergirl" and "Superman" will be separated and held every year."

Before Li Qing could continue to ask questions, Fang Jie stopped and said, "Okay, today's live broadcast is mainly to play games with everyone, and other topics will be temporarily suspended."

Then, Fang Jie said: "Last month, Boiling Game's "The Legend of Jin Yong" was launched. Currently, there are an average of 80 people online at the same time every day, and I am one of them. The game has attracted so many players to settle in. As a game Chief, I am very happy."

After smiling, Fang Jie changed the subject: "However, I found that many players are still using the idea of ​​playing kimchi online games in the past, and doing tasks to level up there. Lost a lot of happiness."

"The game "The Legend of Jin Yong" has many ways to play, and the tasks are not limited to martial arts tasks, and various Jianghu tasks are also very interesting. Today's live broadcast of the game, let me take you to experience other ways to play, By the way, a few interesting puzzle-solving tasks will be announced."

At this point, the screen jumped directly to Fang Jie's computer screen, which displayed the game login interface, and a small area in the upper left corner was the real video screen.

At this time, Fang Jie was continuing to explain: "This game is mainly divided into two camps, good and evil. I believe that everyone has a deep understanding of this in the past month... If you have good game skills, you can try to be an evil faction, otherwise you will still be old." It’s better to stay honestly in the decent camp.”

"My number is the chosen blood knife sect of the evil faction. This is my queen, and I am already the number one master of the blood knife sect..."

When the introduction came here, the players in the various game chat rooms suddenly exploded!

"Fuck, the number one master of the Blood Knife Sect!? Awesome!"

"He's a game planner, that's normal!"

"Cut! Cheating and adjusting the data!"

"Fart! At his level, what's the point of doing this? Do you think he has the same IQ as you?"

"So it was him! Hahaha, I was killed by an idol once during the day... Uh, why do I feel so honored and happy?"

At this time, I saw that the account password was being entered on the screen, while listening to Fang Jie's voice-over: "Yes, I have killed many players in the game, but I will not apologize to you here. Because, this is the world, this It's "The Legend of Jin Yong"!"

After entering the game, Fang Jie said: "As a small benefit of today's live broadcast of the game, I will explain the puzzle-solving process of "Five Tigers Breaking Door Knife". Everyone, take a notebook and write it down~"

As he said that, he controlled the character and started to go through the puzzle solving process of "Five Tigers Broken Door Knife" just like when he first entered the game. Of course, such things as killing people and taking goods are omitted. The first step is to find a random city. Kill the little beggar at the gate of the city and get the beggar's clothes.

"The place to pick up the quest is in Yangzhou City. If you are an evil player, this step is necessary, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the sphere of influence of the decent... This is also the advantage of the decent players. It was completed within the sphere of decent influence, and it is much more difficult for evil players to obtain public cheats than decent players."

After Fang Jie pretended to be serious and introduced the importance of "beggar's clothes", he changed into his clothes and went straight to Yangzhou City.

But as soon as he arrived in Yangzhou City, a large group of Beggar Gang players surrounded him within a few steps.

"Is that you? Fang Jie! I'm watching your live broadcast!"

"Hahaha, we don't know if you don't tell me, now the entire beggar gang knows that you have come to Yangzhou City, hahahahaha..."

"Everyone copy the guy, kill him!"

Before the last sentence was uttered, the game character controlled by Fang Jie had already been beaten to death by a dozen or so Beggar Gang players around him.

The number one master of Blood Knife Sect?

No matter how powerful an expert is, it is impossible to single out so many people, and he was instantly killed before he even had time to run.

The dozen or so beggar players who killed him only had the chance to do it because they were close to their faces. There are still hundreds of players who can't squeeze in the entire Yangzhou City Square, not to mention the thousands of beggar players who are leveling up on other maps of the game Still on the way back to town.

At this time, in the live broadcast screen in the upper left corner, Fang Jie, who was slapped in the face, was staring at the computer screen in a daze. He had been talking nonstop before, but now he was speechless. In an eerie silence.

Netizens who saw this scene couldn't help laughing, and some people were still showing off, saying that they were one of the murderers just now.

Could it be that our idol forgot that he was live broadcasting?
Let's see if you're still pretending to be aggressive, or if your face hurts from the beating!
