Wu Tong stopped typing on the keyboard and drank a glass of water.

Ningjiang at 4 a.m. has the most familiar scenery.

At this time, the company is no longer busy during the day, quiet and peaceful. Wu Tong likes this feeling very much, as if he is the only one in the whole world.

He came to the windowsill, looked at the city that had not yet awakened, and sighed.

I glanced at the computer screen and it was not a familiar interface for writing codes, but a document.

The words "Resignation Application" are written on it.

Wu Tong was already tired, and he felt that his road on Tomato Video Network had come to an end.

Before, his father was seriously ill, Wu Tong immediately applied for a vacation to his leader, but the whole process lasted for nearly a week. The leader, who was called business trip, actually was a public-funded tourism, passed the process slowly when he came back from the island, and criticized Wu Tong for not knowing how to contribute to the company. When Wu Tong returned home, his father was already in a severe coma and could not even see his son for the last time.

Sometimes, after Wu Tong finished writing the code, he stood in front of the window and wanted to just jump down like this. He was completely overwhelmed, but he was so cowardly that he didn't even have the courage to commit suicide.

Liu Xueyan's resignation may be the last straw that broke the camel's back. Wu Tong didn't have many people to speak in the company, so Liu Xueyan, who had often been quarreled with development before, was more familiar with him. Through him, Wu Tong also saw the essence of Tomato Video Network.

Back at the seat, he wrote the resignation report, printed it out, placed it on the leader's desk, and then quietly left the company at 8 o'clock in the morning.

Today is Sunday. He should have worked overtime to modify some minor mistakes in the player, but Wu Tong had already made a decision. He fixed the mistake all night before writing a letter of resignation. Even though he was about to leave, he still had to stand on the last shift.

Wu Tong walked to the park next door like a walk. He had never been here. This old park was particularly quiet. Wu Tong followed the map to the entrance of a four-story building, which is the main part of Fantasy Electric Animation.

He walked into this place.

Huandian also rested today, but there were security guards at the front desk. Wu Tong registered for a while and walked to the second floor. He saw Xu Rui sitting in front of the computer, while Liu Xueyan was sitting on the chair behind him, looking at Xu Rui's computer screen intently.

"Ah, Wu Tong, you are here."

Liu Xueyan noticed Wu Tong's figure and waved to him to come.

Wu Tong hesitated for a moment before walking to Liu Xueyan and looking at Xu Rui's computer screen.

The animation is being played on it, which he has never seen before. The pink-haired girl with twin ponytails is walking in a very heterogeneous world.

This is the first episode of "Magic Girl Xiaoyuan".

Wu Tong has a general understanding of animation, mainly because he doesn't have time to watch it. He has watched several movies under the recommendation of Liu Xueyan. The one that impressed him the most was "Unnatural Death", which reminded him of his family.

He only felt that the picture of this animation was very exquisite and bright in color, giving people a lively and cheerful feeling.

At this moment, a string of text suddenly floated over the screen.

【Test Test Test Test】

“???”

Wu Tong was stunned.

He thought it was included in the animation, but it was too strange.

Seeing that it had successfully attracted Wu Tong's attention, Xu Rui restored the playback window. You can see that there was a series of windows showing comments next to the playback window. Xu Rui typed a few words casually, and soon the text appeared in the playback window and scrolled past.

"What's this?"

Wu Tong was a little curious. There is a function in the video player he recently developed for Tomato. When the video is not maximized, comments can appear on the right side of the window. He believes that this is a means to promote audience interaction.

But he never expected that Xu Rui had pushed this interaction method forward more than a big step.

Wu Tong's head immediately began to think that although this way of commenting reduced the sense of substitution of the video to a certain extent, it also enhanced the communication between the audience. In the past, the audience could only leave a message below to interact after watching the video, and this interaction was relatively detached from the work.

Even the player developed by Wu Tong before, which can see the picture and comments next to each other at the same time is not timely enough.

However, the player in Xu Rui's computer, the form of synchronizing comments with the picture, allows the audience to immediately see the corresponding comments when they see the picture and their emotions fluctuate, forming a resonance.

Wu Tong thought roughly that this kind of comment is more suitable for videos with discussion points, such as funny and exciting scenes, which is very suitable for this form, while suspense and sensational videos are not suitable for this form of comment.

"This is called barrage, Mr. Wu."

Xu Rui said that this was an extremely simple version he had asked several senior students from Ningjiang University’s School of Computer Science and Technology to make. They could only be nested locally outside the native player. This thing was simply not practical. Its value lies in letting Wu Tong and Liu Xueyan see this barrage.

"The video website I am planning to build will install this function, so that viewers can send their comments in time so that other viewers who watch the video can see it."

Xu Rui turned off the player, turned around and continued to speak.

"I used to like watching movies and animations with my friends, while discussing the ongoing plot. This experience can even make some less-than-looking movies better. But after entering the Internet era, we became sitting in front of the computer, watching videos on our own, and no longer had that kind of communication. I wanted to use barrage so that viewers with this need could feel that they were not alone when watching animations."

“I have never heard anyone mention this idea…”

Wu Tong sighed softly.

"The Chinese people actually have a clear demand for the Internet. Looking at the wide audience of Weibo and chat software, we prefer things with social attributes. Many times, the reason why I use a software and play a game is not because I like it especially, but because people around me are using it. Using it can allow myself to successfully integrate into the social environment around me."

Xu Rui explained that things with social attributes are born with stronger communication capabilities than other types of things, such as the fraud at the beginning of "Soul Devouring: Zero", and so is the barrage video website.

People's word of mouth is a stronger publicity than any advertisement.

"Two, I sincerely hope that you can join my video website and bring a little different ripples to this calm industry."

Seeing that the two of them were already a little moved, Xu Rui spoke and invited him.

"What's your video website going to be called?"

Liu Xueyan was silent for a moment and asked.

When Xu Rui heard the other party’s question and knew that this was a signal of acceptance, he spoke.
