Reboot 2003

Chapter 144 051: Potato Server
This undoubtedly hits the itch of the market - today's Internet world is at this node, and an online video website with a stronger experience can bring simple and crude demand upgrades.

And...it can make money!
Although the restrictions are very large, it seems that you must be original to make money, but it is true to make money. As long as you meet the conditions of ring tones and are favored by companies on the platform, you can directly publish ring tones and bring in income.

It's an attractive gimmick anyway, and while most people will soon find out that they don't seem to have the talent to participate in the composition of the music or the performance of the jokes, it's just as easy to just watch the little jokes posted by others. Interesting.

And at the same time that the popularity of Shuixie Getai exploded, the commercial means arranged in advance seemed to really fuel it.

Galaxy Music itself is the content provider. After the launch of Shuixie Songtai, a large number of copyrighted content belonging to Galaxy Software went online directly. Of course, those copyrights bought in advance needless to say, and the MVs of popular works that the company has released intensively recently are also on the site. Synchronized online.

Some cooperating content parties are also learning from the example. Following the galaxy software, some works that have not been sold very well are put on the Shuixiegetai. The digital rights of the Celestial Dynasty cannot be sold, so it is better to follow the galaxy music. ring tones.

And more importantly, the addition of celebrities——

Galaxy Software's own singers needless to say, of course, one of them opened an official account, Xu Lingling got the number 001 in the Waterside Getai Hall of Fame because she was early that day.

The three lead singers of "Love of the Linden Tree" have established their own personal homepages on Galaxy Software. These three singers are now world-class Internet celebrities, but they are also in the dark about the European and American markets. After I bought it, I didn't know how to realize this wave of traffic on my body.

After the turmoil in July, Lao Xu originally wanted to stay for another two days, but was sent abroad by Chen Qin to negotiate contracts with these singers.

And as survivors of the Commonwealth of Independent States, although they have a bit of a stereotype about today's China—probably thinking that today's China is still a workers' country, they even drew this element into the MV of "The Love of the Linden Tree".

However, they don't seem to have any special prejudice against Internet companies in China.

Hearing Lao Xu said that this place can receive advertisements, and there is still money to be paid according to the click-through rate, in short, the three of them readily agreed.

They all took the sample video like "Hello, audiences of Tianchao". Among them, the little brother with the image of a Y-shaped overalls was very enthusiastic about it. In addition to the routine self-introduction, he also sent a self-following message on the waterside karaoke stage The video of dancing to the rhythm of "The Love of the Linden Tree" now has a considerable click-through rate on the site, and it even appeared in the newspaper.

It is said that a well-known foreign singer group entered a Chinese website and learned how to crow in the video, which aroused heated discussions among netizens. It was quite scary to watch.

And another hot spot lies in "Super Girl".

"Super Girl" is the hottest national talent show in China in this era. Although it was held for the first time this year, its popularity has exceeded expectations.

But like most of the problems facing mainland music in these years, the show itself is very popular, but the female singers selected are more and more confused.

Especially this year, except for the No.3 Zhang Hanyun who got on Mengniu's big thick leg in advance, the other contestants are basically passed away at the speed of light-even if there are indeed many fans who are willing to spend money to send them text messages to vote, at least the commercial value The potential in this area is not bad.

However, due to the lack of a mature business system, after the TV station collects the SMS money, these small idols who are famous in front of the stage will either immediately become unknown, or operate in the way of traditional record companies, and the market will not perform well after releasing a record. Jia, people are also confused.

However, Shuixiegetai gave them a chance. During the filming, a young-looking guy who was said to be the boss of SMS business came to tell them that they could go to Shuixiegetai to register an account. , if there are many registrations, our partners can advertise you and let your fans follow you on the Internet.

The little idols are also sincere. I heard that in the future they can use this to get ringtone money and get in touch with major record companies. Although they have no concept of the so-called "using the fame of the talent show to gather their fans", in short, many people agreed on the spot. Many people went to ask the newly recruited agent, and the agent thought there was no harm, so he agreed anyway.

So on the night of the finals, a [-]-second video advertisement of "Super Girls who follow you at any time, land on Shuixiegetai-www.getai.com" was played again, and a text scrolling advertisement was added at the bottom. The SMS advertisement was sent several times.

Gu Wenjie was asked to help make the content of the TV commercial, and he has already started this business now, only charging a little friendly labor fee.

Lei Jun tried to add the text message advertisement to the SP package, and basically spent no money.

Then the advertising fee and trademark fee in the finals alone cost Boss Chen 500 million, which is quite painful.

But the effect is also very significant - as all the causes and effects of the past and present are gathered at this moment, it seems that the Shuixie Getai was born for this moment.

Although the popularity of Super Girl is not more than that of foreign friends or even Olympic champions, music is the main battlefield for core fans.

It is said that in those cities where Super Girls are more popular, the shortcut of "Shuixiegetai" directly appeared on the desktop of the local Internet cafes, and in the waterside songtai station, the "Super Girls" with their own merits rushed to the internally visible Number of followers leaderboard.

In order not to embarrass the data of the company's own people too much, Boss Chen had to start some off-the-chart tricks, learn from Zha Lang's methods, and get a wave of zombie fans for his own singer... This is also something that can't be helped, although the CRBT singer The general public, but the content is mild, and it is inherently insulated from fans.

Of course, even this matter is not important, because the number of visits soared, Shuixiegetai began to go down frequently after October.

"Just added 10 servers, isn't that enough?"

"We have some newly purchased servers at Jinshan, if necessary, we can support a little..."

"It's not that there are not enough servers. The racks from Meilijian have just arrived, but the bandwidth is not enough."

"Then find a telecom to add some more?"

"I have already added it, but I didn't expect so many people at the beginning of the month, and I will add it next month..."

"At such a critical time, can we ask Telecom for accommodation?"

"The main thing is that there are always ddos ​​attacks..."

"People on the forum are calling our server a Tudou server."

"Who's so boring... Forget it, I'll let Bojun go to your side tomorrow to figure out a solution, he still knows server security quite well."

In October, the weather started to turn cold, but the heat of Shuixiegetai did not turn cold.

Not long after class ended, the bosses of stakeholders in the conference channel had already had a heated chat in the channel——Lei Jun’s Jinshan provided technical support, Gu Wenjie’s Kuaikan was an advertiser, and both parties were allowed to go to Shuishigetai I invested 500 million each and invested about 10%. This is still a friendly price for partners. Boss Lei can't get 500 million now, so I owe it for the time being... As for the other house, I still can't get in even if I want to. coming state.

The other participants are the people in charge of related projects. Of course, the CEO Sun Xiaomei is here, and she works as a microphone administrator as usual; Chang You is the director of the software side. how many things.

Lu Rong of Galaxy Music and Zheng Nanling of Shuixiegetai are very busy. Although the two project teams are separated, their actual business overlaps a lot, and there is also a large proportion of mutual stock swaps. Basically, they can be regarded as one team. Recently, for the convenience of work, Zheng Nanling also went to Yanjing with her.

In addition, there are several persons in charge of technology, personnel, and marketing. The rapid development of Shuixiegetai is almost full of problems. The boss Chen Qin went in and listened for a long time, but no one noticed that his boss had come. .

Boss Chen was not in a hurry. After listening to it, he thought that the early video website was called Tudou. Of course, the name of Shuixie Getai was decided by the development team. There is no need to change the name now, but the domain name of Tudou is in his hands. , this name should be used later when engaging in online games or cloud services.

Turning around, he said to Xu Lingling, who was watching anxiously behind because she couldn't access the website, "Look, the problem with the server is not fixed for the time being, and it will be resolved next month!"
