Before Starry Sky Group, it developed and launched Starlink software similar to WeChat early, but its development momentum was not very strong.
Even if WeChat is not yet online at this time, Starlink does not have any strong competitors.
The key issue is that real-name authentication is required to log in to Starlink.
Not only that, one ID number can only have one Starlink account.
For this reason, although Starlink accounts can log in to all Star Group websites, the number of active registrations has not grown very rapidly.
It’s not that the company’s top executives suggested temporarily canceling the real-name registration system and increasing the number of registered people first, but Wu Dong rejected it.
In my memory, the Internet became more and more developed, and almost everyone’s life was connected to the Internet.
Naturally, all kinds of monsters and monsters are inevitable to cause trouble.
Among other things, those keyboard warriors who think they can vent their emotions on the Internet without responsibility are quite annoying and disgusting.
Isn’t it the anonymity of the Internet that they rely on?
No matter what others think, Wu Dong can't stand such behavior anyway.
It's not that people are not allowed to speak on the Internet, but some people are full of hostility and will not hesitate to speak harshly and use all kinds of obscene words to personally attack them. Such behavior has already violated the law.
Such a being naturally doesn't like the constraints of real-name authentication.
The same is true. Although Xingkong Weibo, which was launched at the same time, has many popular celebrities to help attract traffic, the number of registered users is still not growing rapidly.
One ID card and one account will greatly increase the cost of purchasing zombie fans on the Internet and building an online army in the future.
After more than half a year of operation, the number of real registered users of Xingkong Weibo has just exceeded five million.
Compared with the later Weibo Weibo, although the data looks better, the increase in the number of registrations is obviously insufficient.
Wu Dong didn’t care much about this either!
He values real data more than what he remembers, which is so fake that even the manipulator behind the scenes may not know how much real data appears on Xingkong Weibo.
It is even less likely that there will be exaggerated data like the number of fans exceeding 100 million.
Of course, as a result, both Starlink and Starry Weibo will be less noisy, and the traffic growth will naturally not be too fast.
Wu Dong doesn't care about this. In fact, he is not very interested in those beings who are too out of touch and crazy about creating noise on the Internet.
On the contrary, I am afraid that after netizens have experienced too much hustle and bustle and all kinds of annoying things, they will gradually like the quiet atmosphere of Starlink and Starry Sky Weibo.
Of course, similar to WeChat, Starlink at this time is a must-have for Star Group employees, at least it is much easier to use than Penguin Group.
As for Xingkong Weibo, it is a personal application for tracking hot news in all aspects of society.
For the time being, their influence is quite average.
This is one of the reasons why Wu Dong wants to make his own smartphone as soon as possible. Once he can make a smartphone, it will be a must-have application on the phone, which will be enough to take the development of Starlink and Weibo to the next level.
.
At the same time, the development of the Starry Sky Video website is pretty good.
All the films and TV series shot by Starry Sky Director Studio since its establishment can be found here.
Of course, some film and television dramas require payment. This is the main reason why the development of this comprehensive film and television website can only be considered slightly better.
Because of the fees, the Starry Sky Video website was often ridiculed and ridiculed, and people said that Wu Dong had lost his money.
How can it be?
A high-quality movie only costs one damn dollar.
For many netizens, it is less than one-tenth of the cost of buying a pack of cigarettes.
The reason why he acted like this was just to cultivate the paying habits of registered users.
Otherwise, do you think he can really afford the paid viewing fees ranging from one to two yuan?
The many film and television dramas shot by Star Director Studio, plus the film and television copyrights acquired from Xiangjiang Jiahe Company and other established film and television companies, make Star Film and Television Network's film library quite abundant. Coupled with mature digital conversion technology, this can also attract many
One of the main reasons for netizens.
Of course, the recently opened Star Theater has brought many new registered users to the website.
Due to difficulties in early preparations, the TV series "Invincible Black Fist" has not started filming, and it is unlikely that the first broadcast will be placed on a video website.
But "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" is different. Many of its contents cannot be broadcast on TV stations at all, so they can only be shown on film and television websites.
The 20-episode first part was filmed early and was recently premiered at the Star Theater on Star Video Network. It immediately caused a sensation on the Internet.
Two episodes are broadcast every day, attracting millions of netizens to watch on time.
There are too many viewers among them. In order to have a more convenient viewing experience, they took the initiative to register an account that is common to the entire Star Group network.
I won’t go into details about the plot of this web drama. It’s basically based on the plot of the novel. It’s exciting and exciting.
The description of martial arts is definitely one of the highlights that attracts the audience.
Apart from anything else, there are many young figures practicing Tai Chi in various small garden squares in Guihua City in the early morning.
Seeing that the self-produced drama is doing well, although it is not easy to recoup the cost, the influence is there.
The number of regular downloads from the Internet alone is a quite astonishing number.
As for the shameless concurrent broadcast of other video websites, Star Group has no other good solution except sending legal letters to invite the other party to meet in court and spending each other's legal fees.
Later, the country severely cracked down on pirated audio and video websites and directly overturned professional players such as Kuaibo and Baofeng. However, it still could not stop the rapid spread of pirated audio and video materials on the Internet.
It can only be said that there is no way to eliminate piracy. We can only try to compress its scope of influence and reduce losses.
Even in Europe and the United States, which are known as the paradise of genuine copies, aren’t there people and forces who take great risks to engage in piracy business?
Another point is that the overseas copyright of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" has been sold quite well.
Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea have purchased broadcast rights, and even TV stations in Europe and the United States have contacted.
Of course, this is related to the extremely low overseas copyright fees of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake".
Starry Sky Director Studio and film and television websites also consider promotion factors, so they do not ask too high prices and first spread their influence.
Kung fu movies, and they are quite passionate kung fu movies, are still very popular, at least around the world.
Of course, the first thing to be broadcast during this period was the film and television website that had been laid out before to attract young audiences and increase traffic.
In addition, Wu Dong used various covert means to use the leather goods company in the Cayman Islands, a tax haven, and the Chinese American TV station under actual control to also take the lead in broadcasting.
In short, the self-made web drama "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" has caused huge waves on domestic online video platforms, and it has also gained considerable momentum on audio and video websites around the world.
Apart from anything else, these audio-visual websites were not well-known at first. They only played classic old Hong Kong movies and some selected high-quality dramas from Star Director Studio. After the promotion of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake", they have gained a certain reputation.
The next step is to spend money to purchase local high-quality movies and TV series, so as to partially integrate them with the local environment.
As long as the local audience does not reject the growing audio and video websites, it will be a victory for Wu Dong.
That humble Chinese TV station also gradually gained a certain reputation by continuously broadcasting high-quality old Hong Kong films, as well as high-quality film and television dramas from the director's studio, as well as the latest "The Romance of Dragon and Snake".
Among other things, local Chinese and overseas students are the base of the TV station's ratings, and it even attracts many old and American viewers who like kung fu and action movies.
When the mainstream TV stations in the United States saw that the Chinese TV stations that broadcast "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" had good ratings, they immediately followed up and broadcast it, causing quite a stir in the ratings.
Then, Xingkong Video Network sold a wave of video tapes and other peripheral copyrights. No matter how small the mosquito is, it is still meat.
Putting aside these continuous good news, now that they have seen the effect of self-made dramas, Star Director Studio and film and television website will naturally not miss the opportunity and want to continue to shoot such high-quality online dramas.
This time, the filming was of the modern military mercenary-themed web drama "Wolves".
In short, although the development speed of Xingkong Film and Television video website is not rapid, it is in a state of continuous growth.
Among them, the film and television drama review unit has developed particularly well.
In addition, the self-made short films and video units have also developed vigorously through prize-winning competitions.
Because of network technology hardware and software factors, it is still far from reaching the level of short video that is popular, and the current development speed is not slow.
After the Xingkong Film and Television website, there is a summary report of the male and female novel sites that rank first in the country.
The development momentum is really in full swing.
In particular, a large number of novel copyrights have been converted into high-quality film and television dramas, coupled with the animation and animation units developed by the joint film and television video website, as well as the simultaneous publication of simplified and traditional Chinese texts and comics, and the development of corresponding audio books, the financial future is quite bright.
In addition, with the huge advantage of mobile wireless reading, the monthly income of some great authors even exceeded 100,000 yuan per month.
If you can sell the copyrights of films, games, comics, physical objects, audio, and other art forms, and at the same time shine on mobile reading platforms, a novel is enough to make an author completely rich.
The incomes of the top authors of the two top websites in the country are not much higher than those of the top executives of Star Group who have option rewards and dividends.
Some top authors, with the full support of the website, have opened their own personal copyright development studios, which are quite impressive in the cooperation model with the website...
