Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 885
Douyin, I believe no one is not familiar with this short video social software.

Shaking the cause may have already become an essential part of the day for countless people.

However, before Douyin became the leader of short videos due to the fire, Kuaishou was the well-deserved No. [-] short video.

Later, Douyin’s registered users grew rapidly by relying on the huge traffic of daily headlines.

And because Douyin always selectively releases some seemingly high-end content, such as luxury cars, beauties, swimming pools, etc., creating a so-called high-end lifestyle and attracting a large number of yearning fans.

At the same time, Douyin focuses on head traffic, so it may be more acceptable to most people in first- and second-tier cities, and it is also more addictive and more popular.

Leading to linear growth of registered users.

And Kuaishou has been running products and making products well. The number of users mainly depends on natural growth, and does not interfere too much with users themselves. It insists on inclusiveness and fairness to every user.

So what you can see is that Kuaishou head internet celebrities are basically grassroots, while Douyin is mostly institutions.

Speaking of now, Kuaishou at this time is not called Kuaishou, but GIF Kuaishou.

GIF Kuaishou is the predecessor of Kuaishou. It was born in March 2011, that is, as of now, it has been released for less than a month.

This is a mobile app for making and sharing GIF pictures.

Kuaishou has transformed from a pure tool application to a short video community, and the platform for users to record and share production and life will not be until the end of next year.

Later, with the popularity of smartphones and tablet computers and the decline in mobile traffic costs, Kuaishou came to the market after 2015. Until 2019, Kuaishou was the well-deserved No. [-] short video.

And now it is 2011, Chen Hao still has a lot of time to operate.

Hugging Sister Shi and kissing her deeply, Chen Hao immediately got dressed, picked up his mobile phone and called Hu Jin.

"Chen Dong?" Hu Jin panted.

"Huh?" Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard the words, "Are you busy now?"

"Well, I'm with Zhang Yuqi, hiss..." Hu Jin said.

Damn, Chen Hao couldn't help complaining, "Then let me make a long story short, help me buy a company called GIF Kuaishou, and I'll ask my secretary to send you the information, don't forget."

"Okay, the task must be completed." Hu Jin hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Chen Hao shook his head and put down his phone, then called Yu Yongfu again.

"Chen Dong!" Yu Yongfu said.

"Mr. Yu, I want you to help make a product." Chen Hao said.

"Oh? What new ideas does Mr. Chen have?" Yu Yongfu became interested when he heard this.

Chen Hao asked UC to create a microblog before, and now the number of registered users has exceeded 7000 million, making it the hottest social platform at the moment, and its valuation has already reached hundreds of millions.

Although Chen Hao doesn't know much about specific Internet technologies, the countless ideas in his mind always catch people's eyes.

"Daily headlines!" Chen Hao said.

Because of the quick head, Chen Hao thought of Douyin, and then thought of Toutiao, the blockbuster product of Douyin's parent company in his previous life!
Today's Toutiao is a software with many users and huge traffic, and it is also an important voice window. Since Chen Hao thought of it, he will naturally not let it go.

"Daily headlines?" Yu Yongfu pondered.

"Yes, it is a recommendation engine product based on data mining, which recommends information for users and provides services that connect people and information." Chen Hao said.

"Sounds familiar." Yu Yongfu suddenly laughed.

"The main thing is the personalized recommendation engine technology, which makes personalized recommendations based on each user's interests, location and other dimensions. The recommended content includes not only news in a narrow sense, but also music, movies, games, shopping and other information.

Dig out interests based on their social behavior, reading behavior, geographic location, occupation, age, etc.

Calculate user interests through social behavior analysis; through user behavior analysis, quickly update the user model after each action of the user.

Extract dozens to hundreds of high-dimensional features for each piece of information, and perform calculations such as dimensionality reduction, similarity calculations, and clustering to remove duplicate information; machine classification, abstract extraction, topic analysis, and information quality identification are performed on information.

Recommendations are made according to the matching degree of person characteristics, environmental characteristics, and article characteristics.

Real-time recommendation, quickly calculate the recommendation results, and then complete article extraction, mining, deduplication, classification, and then calculate the new user interest distribution, and finally update the user model.

According to the city where the user is located, local news is automatically identified and accurately recommended to local residents.

According to the user's age, gender, occupation and other characteristics, it automatically calculates and recommends the information it is interested in, etc. "Chen Hao was eloquent.

Yu Yongfu said after listening, "This is actually what UC Browser is currently developing."

"Oh?" Chen Hao was taken aback when he heard that.

"The U3 just launched by the company adopts a cloud architecture, which can perfectly support HTML5 applications, and has the characteristics of intelligence, speed, security, easy expansion, power saving, and traffic saving.

Whether it is reading news, reading novels, watching videos, blogging, or playing games, users can enjoy a smooth and convenient mobile Internet experience.

After completing this step, in addition to continuing to optimize the capabilities in this area, we will use big data as the core, integrate information flow interactive experience, and recommend personalized information content according to the interests of each user.

It can be said that it coincides with what you said, Mr. Chen. "Yu Yongfu said.

Chen Hao raised his brows when he heard this, why didn't UC work in the daily headlines in his previous life?

It stands to reason that UC developed earlier and has a more complete R&D team. As a well-known product, it should not lack financing.

Then Chen Hao came to a sudden, because UC was bought by Ari Baba later.

Many companies or products acquired by Ali Baba were eventually sucked to death.

This is based on the characteristics of Ari Baba, and here I have to mention another big Internet giant, Pain.

The two are exactly the two ends of the Internet, one has a huge traffic start, users!A terminal that is directly connected to the Internet, realize it!
These two characteristics will lead to different impacts on the acquired company after the two acquired companies.

PainXun can bring huge traffic to the acquired company, allowing the acquired company to grow rapidly, and PainXun will not control the company.

However, Ali Baba needs huge traffic to realize its cash flow, so it often controls the acquired company, which is tantamount to absorbing the traffic of the acquired company and then realizing it.

As a result, the acquired company is often sucked to death, or its market share is reduced, and it is no longer a leading product.

The same is true for Tiantiandongting, Xiami Music, Pea Pod, UC and so on.

Of course, pain information is not all acquisitions, it also has a natal skill, copycat, which makes you have nowhere to go.

"Of course, there is still a certain difference between the two. Do you have any other requirements for the product?" Yu Yongfu asked.

Chen Hao thought about the Toutiao in his previous life and said, "The product is called Daily Toutiao. As for the others, they are gone for the time being. As long as you can make what I asked for before, that's fine."

"Well, it takes time and money." Yu Yongfu said.

"No problem, you can make a plan first, and then hand it over to me for approval." Chen Hao said.

"OK, I will try to hand it over to you as soon as possible." Yu Yongfu said.

After finishing Kuaishou and Daily Toutiao for the time being, Chen Hao smiled helplessly. It would be a pity not to do it, but to do it, he felt that he had done too much and was too busy.

……

Time flies, and soon entered April.

On April 4st, April Fool's Day, Friday, Liangtianchi Films' first film "Latent" ("Yinerfang") in 1 officially landed in North American theaters.

North American weekend box office list (2011.4.1-2011.4.3):
No. 1, "Save the Bunny", Universal, box office of 3811 million US dollars this weekend, cumulative box office of 3811 million US dollars, 3579 theaters, and investment cost of 6300 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Source Code", Summit Entertainment, with a box office of 1505 million US dollars this weekend, a cumulative box office of 1505 million US dollars, 2961 theaters, and an investment cost of 3200 million US dollars;
No. 3, "Latent", Liang Tianchi Films, this weekend's box office was 1349 million US dollars, the cumulative box office was 1349 million US dollars, 2408 theaters were released, and the investment cost was 150 million US dollars;
……

"Latent" is the leading work of Liangtianchi Films this year, and it can be said to be a high-quality horror film created by a gold medal team.

Its director James Wen is the director of the "Chain Saw" series, and the screenwriter Ray Warner is also the old partner of director James. This time, the two teamed up again to create this cruel, ruthless but entertaining haunted The journey will definitely not make the audience feel familiar.

It is also worth mentioning that the producer of the film is Jason Blum, the producer of "Spirit: Ghost Story", which is really a film that combines horror talents.

"Latent" opened in 2408 theaters this week, with a box office of 1349 million US dollars.

Although the film's behind-the-scenes team is very strong, the curse that horror films do not conform to the festive atmosphere still cannot be broken.

That is to say, the film is a very brilliant horror work in all aspects from the audience's reputation to the media's reputation, from the production lineup to the plot of the film, but the box office figures of real guns and live ammunition are not so brilliant.

The film is third this week, trailing the thriller "Source Code," and a month after the last Valentine's Day horror flick, "Roommate."

"Roommate" made $1560 million in its first week at the box office. Although Rotten Tomatoes only gave it a 9% rating, it didn't affect the film's momentum at the top of the box office list.

Although there is a small gap between "Latent" and "Roommate" at the box office, it is much better than "Roommate" in terms of word-of-mouth. The evaluation given by Yahoo audience is A-, and the freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is 60%. quite rare in .

Therefore, it is expected that "Latent" will have a chance to perform in the market outlook.

Moreover, the investment in "Latent" is only 150 million US dollars, and the box office in the first weekend is close to 10 times the investment.

There is no doubt that Wen Ziren's "Latent" must have made money.

The reputation is very good, the box office is a hit, Wen Ziren has gone further and further in horror movies, and has become more and more stable!

……

At the same time, Yuewen Group officially submitted an IPO application to the US Securities and Exchange Commission. If approved, Yuewen Group will become the first novel reading website listed in the United States.

At this time, Yuewen Group occupies more than 80% of the online novel reading market in the entire mainland, and it can be said to be the only one.

In addition, Yuewen Group at this time is not like other Internet companies, which are still having headaches for realizing profits. At this time, Yuewen Group already has a considerable and fixed source of income.

This will undoubtedly make shareholders more optimistic about it.

Everyone in Yuewen Group is also full of ambitions for this listing. If the listing is successful, this will be one of the pinnacles of their lives, and there will be a lot of option rewards at the same time!
Chen Hao also had some expectations. At this time in his previous life, Yuewen was not able to go public, and it was not until many years later that Yuewen rang the bell in Xiangjiang.

I don't know if Chen Hao's butterfly wings can blow up enough wind.

Chen Hao also thought that as more and more companies under his banner went public, he should be getting closer and closer to the richest man in China, and maybe he might not be the richest man in the world.

Leonardo DiCaprio, who has been neglected in the Hollywood awards season, has a lot of glory this time. With his wonderful performances in "Inception" and "Shutter Island", he won two nominations for best actor.

"Despicable Me" also received 1 Best Animated Film nomination!
This is the third time Chen Hao competed for the best director of the Saturn Award. He won the trophy the year before last, but lost to the king of the world last year.

And this year's opponents should not be underestimated, including Clint Eastwood, Martin Scorsese, etc., the competition is fierce.
