Cheng Qiang has worked hard on the research of live broadcast products, but after listening to Guo Yun's previous dissuasion, he knew that to stand out, he must have some characteristics. It took a lot of work, and it was inevitable that some very small products could enter his sight. One night, he opened a live streaming app that he had studied a few days ago, and wanted to see what new ways to play. Suddenly found that the content inside seems to be different from what I saw a few days ago. The self-portrait of the female anchor in the homepage was extremely stunning and exposed. It seemed to exude a mandala-like fragrance pulling every impulsive nerve of Cheng Qiang. He clicked in, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he suddenly felt the blood pulse. At this time, he seems to only see the scene in some nightclubs. Gifts in the live broadcast room were hot, and the female anchor did more bold and provocative. She promised that as long as the audience brushed more gifts, she would dare to do more crazy moves. Cheng Qiang was waiting for others to swipe the gift up, and he could take a ride, but he was suddenly kicked out by the system at this moment, prompting him that the trial period has ended, and he needs a top-up member if he wants to continue watching. This gave Cheng Qiang a lot of inspiration. He was originally a profligate person. In some offline clubs, he was almost a regular customer, otherwise he would not have contact with so many female artists. Even Miss Qi was in a certain transaction. Recognized. He actually wanted to use his resources to do online transactions from the beginning, but this was obviously not in compliance, and he knew this very well. So he has been using these resources to do some less explicit things, but he found it really difficult. Recently, investors urged him to urge him, and the money he earned in the previous rankings was not enough to advance the salary paid in the past six months, so he was moved and he wanted to give it a try. It seems that this is also the last chance. Thinking of this, he clicked the recharge button and entered the live broadcast room just now, just in time for the wonderful scene.
The next day, Cheng Qiang called Guo Yun and Chen Chao at the same time:
"What if you charge on time in the live broadcast?"
"This doesn't seem to be done." Guo Yun recalled the live broadcast projects he had done before and the live broadcast apps he had watched: "Generally, we charge for gifts." Guo Yun thought about it again and said: "If users are willing to pay , Of course it’s good, our traffic costs are borne by users."
"Yes, yes." Cheng Qiang didn't expect that there was such a point, and he agreed.
"The timing of this charge is not easy to grasp. When the anchor is broadcasting live inside, you are not sure what she was doing. If a paying user suddenly comes in and finds that the anchor is singing and dancing for another paying user, you will definitely feel like you The money spent is very wrong.” Chen Chao added: “For example, a user comes in to order a song and then listens to the anchor to sing. If a user has just ordered the song, other users can only accompany the user to listen to it. The anchor sings, it is very likely that other users do not want the anchor to sing this song, and in the end they have to pay for her, which will cause some problems."
"Well, yes, unless it can be made into an anchor to only sing for this user, and make a one-to-one model instead of the current one-to-N model." Guo Yun analyzed.
"Yes, we will make a one-to-one model." Cheng Qiang said.
"Are you saying you want to make the effect like a video chat?" Guo Yun immediately confirmed.
"Yes." Cheng Qiang gave a positive answer.
"Well... it's okay. Just like making a call, the caller pays the phone bill, and the called party is free." Guo Yun found an analogy: "In this way, it is more like an IM service. It’s a feature in, not a live broadcast."
"Another advantage is that if the user has some illegal behavior, because it is not a live broadcast, the impact is not wide, and it can only be regarded as the user's personal behavior, and the platform can shift the responsibility to the user." Chen Chao seems to have found another advantage. .
"There won't be any illegal behavior. They are all female artists that we can control. They just sing and dance inside, just like many live broadcast platforms now." Cheng Qiang quickly waved his hands and said.
In fact, Guo Yun has never quite understood the users who give gifts on the live broadcast platform. He has tried to understand them, and even forced himself to give some small gifts when he was working on the live broadcast platform, but he regretted it after sending them. I feel that the money is worse than buying something to eat and drink, or even charging it into a mobile game to get some good equipment. After the money is spent, I simply listen to a woman who has never known each other and wears a beauty mask saying "Thank you", or what's the point of singing a little song or dancing to you? Sing and dance online. The video is still free. In the end, he can only comfort himself: "I may not be the target user.". But he did not deny the existence of these target users, so he didn't say anything.
Even if the new project direction is set, the homepage shows online female artists, one-to-one paid video calls, gift-giving function, message system, and female artist withdrawal function.
"I have paid on time, and I have to give gifts?" Guo Yun felt incredible.
"Yes, Mr. Cheng requested it. He felt it was necessary." Chen Chao pushed the matter to Cheng Qiang again.
"How do you calculate this call charge?" Guo Yun asked next.
"Total means, 3 yuan per minute, which corresponds to 3 diamonds for 1 minute."
Guo Yun turned his eyes up and looked at the ceiling, thinking: "I won't spend this money anyway...", then asked:
"There is also a cash withdrawal function? How to mention it?"
"The diamonds paid by the user for this female artist will be converted into petals 1:1, and the female artist will exchange the petals for RMB, but every time I withdraw cash, the platform will withdraw 30% as a handling fee."
The ratio of live streaming platforms has always been high, and Guo Yun feels that this ratio is also in line with the market environment. In order to offset the 30% fee paid by Apple, the backend is configured to obtain relatively few diamonds from the iPhone recharge.
Making gift special effects is also a time-consuming and laborious task. Not long after Zhou Ping came to the company, he took over this burden, not only for UI design, but also for designing gift animation. Zhou Ping is tall and handsome and wears a pair of glasses. It seems that UI designers are especially good at dressing up. On his left ear lobe, there is a black stud inlaid, maybe this is a kind of personality. But when I met Cheng Qiang, no amount of personality could be displayed.
"This effect is too fancy. It's not what I want. You can change it to another version." Cheng Qiang said after seeing a gift special effect designed by Zhou Ping.
"Cheng Zong, what do you want, can you tell me more about it?" Zhou Ping asked helplessly and politely. This is already the third version he designed, but he still couldn't touch Cheng Qiang's. point.
"I can't tell you that you are a professional designer. You should think about this yourself?" Cheng Qiang just feels bad, but he doesn't know why it's bad, so I can't express it, but just want to change it. ,what else can we do?
"Well, Cheng Zong, I will try again." Zhou Ping could only answer like this.
About two hours later, Zhou Ping submitted another version, and Cheng Qiang stood beside him and watched:
"Well, it's better than before, but I think it's still a little bit worse...what's the difference?...Manager Chen, come here!"
Cheng Qiang called Chen Chao next to Zhou Ping:
"Come on, look at this, how do you feel?"
Chen Chao said after watching the animation:
"It's okay, but I think the previous version is better."
"How can that work?..." Cheng Qiang began to walk back and forth uncomfortably, as if he couldn't find the toilet while holding back urine, and then pretended to be very professional and kept touching his chin:
"Okay, you can make this color brighter, and this red, make it more obvious." Cheng Qiang pointed at Zhou Ping's computer screen.
After the gesture, Cheng Qiang returned to his small room. Chen Chao whispered in Zhou Ping's ear:
"It's getting more and more earthy."
Zhou Ping also smiled and nodded.
Guo Yun found an IM SDK developed by a large company, which comes with a 1:1 video call function, which greatly reduces the workload of development. In addition, the team has cultivated a certain degree of tacit understanding before, and it only took more than a month to complete the development. As the project gradually enters the testing phase, there are often harsh screams in the office. Guo Yun knew that it was a kind of self-excited oscillation. When he was young, he listened to the dean's speech on the playground, and every time he heard such a harsh sound before the start. When Jiang Wanting tested, she used to place both mobile phones on the table and use one mobile phone to make a video call on the other mobile phone. The moment he answered the call, the developers around him would be shocked, and their faces would show up. Lime's expression. Jiang Wanting hurriedly separated the two mobile phones, opened his arms, a mobile phone in each hand, and kept turning his head back and forth to observe the effect in the phone. He Yunli looked aside and felt funny, but also found an opportunity to show his courtesy:
"Come on, I borrow this mobile phone holder for you."
The SDK of the IM platform also provides a video playback function. When the video call ends, two playback files in mp4 format will be automatically generated. In the background management system designed by Chen Chao, there is a need to save the history of video calls. It is necessary to record the UID of both parties, the start time of the call, the duration of the call, and the download address of the playback file at both ends. The original intention of this demand is to review the service quality of female artists, and to prevent female artists from making some indecent actions during video calls. By viewing the replayed video of historical records, female artists can be punished or even titled. Before going online, Cheng Qiang experienced the overall effect. It is rare that he did not mention any new requirements. The only one is to let Guo Yun add a delete button to each historical record in the background management system. Guo Yun finds it strange that only Cheng Qiang, Chen Chao and himself have permission to view this back-end management system, so why delete it? Guo Yun didn't ask, but relying on his past experience, he added a "deleted" field to the data table of the history record, only realizing soft deletion.
