this man is not calm

Chapter 375 Rampage
It is undeniable that there are indeed many fakes and unqualified people in the literary and artistic circles, but there are still many old veterans who have been working in the industry for most of their lives and have good vision.

It is not easy to see that the problem is nothing, but to have great perseverance and determination to make changes.

It is indeed not good to sit back and watch decay and corruption, but we are all made of flesh and blood, and it is difficult to attack our own people!

Not only here, even in the entertainment industry, which is full of filth, there are many people who keep themselves clean.

The world of fame and fortune requires mutual consent. If you really don't want to be involved in the world of fame and fortune, you can still do it. But if you do so, you must be prepared to bear the consequences.

After chatting with Mr. Qu Nanrong for a while, Jin Shang watched him leave. In such occasions, he was one of the hosts and was very busy.

"Xiao Jin, are you free tonight? Let's go have dinner together..."

"Sorry, I have an appointment."

Before they were about to leave, the sharp-eyed Director Zhu Jingxiao came over to say hello, but Jin Shang politely declined.

"There's a business reception later, it's already been arranged."

"Is that so? Forget it, I'll find another opportunity later. By the way, when will those special effects masterpieces your company promised to complete? They have been delayed again and again, and have been postponed several times. There are many big-budget productions this year. If you want to grab a good time slot, you'd better hurry up."

"Okay! Thank you for your kind words!"

Speaking of this matter, Jin Shang was also extremely helpless.

The production of a series of classical mythology TV series, including "Journey to the West", "Legend of the White Snake", and "Investiture of the Gods", started early, but during the filming process, there were always some unexpected problems.

The corresponding comics and novels have been released, and the game "Journey to the West: The Evil" has been well received by players after it was launched on the Venus 2 console market.

The surrounding products were selling like hot cakes, but the “main meal” had not yet been served.

It's not that Jin Shang was holding back. After actually watching the recording process, he realized that this thing is really not easy to do, especially when the boss has extremely high requirements and is urged to create a classic. The result of the pursuit of perfection is slow progress.

None of the film and television dramas in my previous life were unsuccessful.

But to be honest, due to the limitations of the times, the costumes, props, scenery, historical restoration, etc. basically cannot stand up to scrutiny, and many details look cheap at first glance.

Use hanging cloth strips as waterfalls, toy guns biubiubiu, 5-cent special effects, paper-made Green Dragon Crescent Blade, etc. Don't have too much black history.

Being particular about everything meant that costs soared. Bills for prop module expenses for "Journey to the West" and "Investiture of the Gods" were signed one after another. It was simply a bottomless pit. The special effects of a flood in Jinshan Mountain in "Legend of White Snake" used up all the remaining budget in one go. Even so, it took more than two months to complete.

Apart from that, the domestic special effects technology was a bit lacking in this era, but it could be barely made up for by spending money and time.

The post-production department has already issued a military order that the finished film of "Legend of White Snake" must be delivered by the end of this month. There is no time to delay it. Peripheral products, image licensing, videotapes, CDs, original soundtracks, electronic games, etc., can't wait any longer.

After calling Li Xuan, the two left and drove back.

"Go back and take a rest, then prepare to go to the cocktail party."

"Let's go for a walk around the area. There are Lantern Festival celebrations everywhere. It's quite lively. These... are much more interesting."

"it is good!"

After driving the car into a nearby parking lot, the two walked arm in arm in the crowded streets.

There is no need to go to the commercial street or leisure square specifically, as there are people everywhere who are out for fun, and among them are many people who look like tourists and are carrying cameras.

There was a lantern riddle guessing activity not far away, so Jin Shang went up to play a few rounds, got a souvenir and didn't go any further.

"Big cities are different from small towns. In my hometown, people usually come to support us and join in the fun, but in Beijing, it's more relaxing to meet people you don't know by chance."

"The difference between a society of acquaintances and a society of strangers!"

Jin Shang didn't even turn his head and responded to his girlfriend's question nonchalantly.

"Urbanization has an impact on all aspects. In a small town with limited scale, people often see each other everywhere. Chatting, portal websites, fashion magazines, etc. are not necessary. No matter what the event is, it will spread quickly. There is not even a strong demand for mobile phones. In many cases, the time spent on making a phone call is not as good as walking a few more steps or shouting. But in the residential buildings in the city, let alone the upper and lower floors, you don't even know the people next door."

Social relationships have changed, and one's original position in society has been disrupted, and the Internet and social networking sites came into being.

The right time and place are indispensable.

In the past, our motherland became one of the only two winners in the world in the Internet industry. It was not just because of its large population. The continuous deepening of urbanization was also one of the driving forces.

I still remember that from middle school to college, I had no interest in chatting, blogging, online dating and the like. How could those fancy things be as exciting as online games?

Only after graduation, when I started working and became a "new citizen" and had social needs, did I start registering for various software and establish connections with many familiar and unfamiliar people.

Jin Shang, who was reborn and traveled through time, has the greatest advantage as a second-generation person. In addition to his "advanced" sharp vision, he also has the "hindsight" to look back and examine the details and weigh the pros and cons.

It is really hard to explain the destiny of a country. It is a result of many combined efforts. If there is a slight difference in the results, the general direction will certainly not change, but the process is hard to say, and the results may not be exactly the same.

Just like the current Jinxi Culture, when it first started its business, Jin Shang never thought that about two years earlier, under many unfavorable conditions, it would be possible to create an Internet technology and cultural complex with advantages in multiple fields.

After sighing, Jin Shang and Li Xuan strolled for a long time and took a break at a street corner where everyone was enjoying the snow.

"It's time to go, go back and change your clothes and get ready for the meeting."

Although I don't expect to gain much from the business gathering hosted by my second uncle Mei Yingnian, it might be a good idea to go and take a look. Maybe I will see something interesting.

The snow on the road has been cleared, but the green belts on both sides of the road are still white. The evergreen trees covered in silver are very beautiful. The accumulated snowflakes are made into snowmen by naughty children. Some bad guys kick the tree trunks and then run away quickly. The falling snow piles hit their friends, which is very embarrassing and causes bursts of naughty laughter.

"I've decided. I want to build a social networking site."

Looking at the fireworks not far away, Jin Shang had the idea of ​​recording it for everyone to see. However, when he came to his senses, he found that there was no such condition at all, and he couldn't help but feel annoyed. "Why is it so sudden? Although we already have a rough version, didn't you say that you would keep it as a technical reserve and launch it at an appropriate time in the future?"

"I don't care about that anymore. If others want to copy me, let them copy me. This time I decided to do something big... I want to promote it not only in China but also abroad."

I don’t give a shit about how chaotic the Internet world will be in the future. In this situation, Jin Shang no longer wants to think about those things. He just wants to have fun and make himself happy.

The slight setbacks in the recent past, coupled with the festive feeling today, made Jin Shang seem to have the energy to break free from the shackles that bound him.

"I am not violating any law or order, and I can do whatever I want. When I didn't have money, I was hesitant, but now that I have money, I am still restrained. Isn't that a waste of my money?"

Under Li Xuan's complicated gaze, Jin Shang directly picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"It's me, the web log project is launched!"

"When? Right now, I said!"

"I know it's immature and there are still many problems to be solved, but there are no perfect products in reality. I'll improve it as I use it."

"I'll go and notify Director Yang Qi. You can just launch the website directly and we can talk about promotion later. By the way, you can use it as a public beta first and let your friends and family try it out as well."

……

After talking for nearly ten minutes, the order was finally given. Jin Shang hung up the phone and breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Xuan, who bought a cup of hot soy milk from somewhere, handed the cup over.

"You're done? I knew that these things were suppressed in your mind. If you don't make something happen, there will be no end to it."

"We're just getting started. Just wait and see..."

The two got in the car and drove away, leaving behind a pile of snow that had been kicked into pieces. It was unknown which little kid's "work" had been destroyed.

The so-called "Web Log" plan is a web log, namely Weblog, and then the variant word Blog appeared. The user who updates the "web log" is Blogger, which is the transliteration of blog, the famous blog.

This thing appeared very early, almost at the same time as the Internet. Some "webmasters" who wanted to express themselves more liked to build personal websites and share their own updates. This was the earliest prototype of self-media.

As the number of websites increases, some "sharing log" websites have emerged that focus on screening and classifying excellent sites. So strictly speaking, this thing is not new. In fact, for a long time, no one saw any value in it. It is far less active than forums, and its traffic monetization cannot catch up with comprehensive portals. It cannot even embed serious advertisements.

Before the number of Internet users reaches a certain level and users form a basic social chain, it is indeed useless.

Only tens of millions of active users can lay a solid foundation, and only hundreds of millions can demonstrate certain value.

Furthermore, the operating cost of this thing is quite high. A large amount of data is generated every minute and every second, and it needs to be distributed according to a certain algorithm. Each step is not simple.

If you think of your personal computer as your home, your server as your playground in the next county, and your network cable as the road that connects the two places, then your browser is the bus that commutes back and forth.

The current situation is that the amusement park has been almost completed, and although the road is a bit dilapidated, it is still passable. However, the commuter bus is terrible.

That’s right, in 1997, the first step for card users to access the SNS social networking site was the most humble browser.

Why is there a distinction between web1.0 and web2.0? The usability of the browser has a great impact.

The mainstream browsers these days are incapable of handling high-end stuff like streaming media. Even web games like FarmVille and Parking Lottery are not playable.

As the starting point for surfing the Internet, the importance of the browser is self-evident.

In order to display the many applications of SNS websites normally, the first thing to do is to improve our own Jinxi browser and develop a series of supporting plug-ins.

Don't think it sounds easy. This alone is a big project. At first, Jin Shang thought it should be done quickly, but later there were more and more problems, so he had to transfer Yang Qi, who was working on the cross-platform application adaptation of the operating system, to be the "tinker". After he had almost finished getting it done, he found that he was stuck with the search engine.

The paid ranking system in the previous life was notorious, but Dr. Li's technical level is still quite strong. The technology he developed, the patents he holds, and his exploration in many algorithms and application scenarios are all worthy of the title of doctor. In terms of academics, contributions and the impact on the development of the Internet, he barely deserves the title of academician.

Of course, Dr. Li, who developed the search engine earlier than Google, has not made much progress in business operations and capital market games. Many industries that were later proven to be huge "hot spots" were industries that he started early but arrived late. This is enough to prove that his abilities outside of scientific research are indeed a bit lacking.

Social networking sites generate a large amount of content every moment, which requires the generation of many sub-pages to display. It is simply impossible to cope with the current manual indexing model.

The fact that the once-mighty Yahoo was defeated by the search engines of the new era is enough to prove that this road will end sooner or later.

Jin Shang has pointed out the direction very accurately. Web crawlers obtain the original information of web pages and store it in the document knowledge base server. Through the distributed database, they can quickly obtain content, optimize indexes, merge and delete, retrieve, sort, deduplicate, fight spam, describe, summarize, and display on the front end.

In fact, most of them are barely usable. Only the most important link analysis, scoring, classification, attribute participation in the return result sorting, etc. are very difficult to solve and cannot be done in a short time.

In addition, things like web crawlers can easily be identified as viruses or malicious programs and blocked if you are not careful.

In fact, Jin Shang has realized that making a social networking site ideal is as difficult as developing an effective search engine. It is easy to get by with a passable design, but it is hard to find quality products.

In the past, we considered that the timing was not ripe, many affiliated applications did not meet the standards, the user experience was not very satisfactory, and the number of Internet users was insufficient, so there was no room for social networking sites to survive, so we kept it under wraps.

Now the idea has changed.

With the current level of software and hardware, the product will never reach the perfect level that Jin Shang envisioned. Rather than let it go, it’s better to just leave it as it is.

"It's just for fun, it costs money, there aren't many users, and the cost is low. We have money now, so we can afford it."

"Yes, yes, Master Jin is amazing, everything he does is right! You didn't drink today, why do you look like you're about to get drunk?"

After returning home, Jin Shang couldn't wait to open the management backend, operated the trial version, and then muttered to himself:

"Let's play again when we come back tonight. Oh, and call Dai Yiqin to bring some fans over to show support."
