After the lifting platform was raised to the level of the stage, Chen Minhao took a step forward and walked to the middle of the stage.
The dazzling lights on the stage suddenly lit up, and a gorgeous stage built with a lot of money appeared in front of the audience. No matter which angle you looked at it, the entire stage was lit up.
The two rectangles around the hexagonal truss and on either side are surrounded by light. The aesthetic harmony between the lighting and the large screen makes people feel comfortable and natural.
Many viewers in the audience exclaimed "Wow", it was so shocking!
With a smile on his face, Chen Minhao said: "Thank you to the audience who came to the scene, and thank you to the audience who participated in this concert online."
The audience, which was already filled with excitement, immediately erupted into a burst of earth-shaking shouts.
"Chen Minhao!" "Chen Minhao!" "Chen Minhao!"
The shouts were uniform and getting louder and louder. The huge sound waves gathered together and drowned the entire sports center.
On Penguin Video, the barrage has exploded.
Judging from the dense barrage, the number of viewers watching the live broadcast must have reached millions.
"From this stage, I seem to see funds burning!"
"It finally begins~"
"Chen Minhao, I love you!"
"Although I am at home, my heart has flown to Pengchengwan Sports Center."
On the barrage, some people were excited, some were happy, some were paddling, and some were abusive.
Penguin Riverfront Tower, 13th floor. The office location of Penguin Video operations staff.
Li Weijie walked through the busy staff and found his assistant Lu Yaxian.
"Xiao Lu, how many people are watching the live broadcast now?"
"There are now 9.84 million, and this number is still rising."
Lu Yaxian said excitedly.
She knew what the number meant.
It was previously estimated that the upper limit of the number of people watching the live concert was 10 million, but now the number has been reached as soon as the concert started.
This shows that after the concert ends, the number of online viewers at the same time will definitely exceed the estimated upper limit.
And this will definitely break the record of all previous concert live broadcasts, and may even break the record of the number of people watching the live broadcast online on online platforms.
After hearing the exciting news, Li Weijie's expression changed drastically. He thought further than Lu Yaxian.
Compared with live TV broadcasts, viewers of Internet live broadcasts have higher requirements for viewing experience.
But compared to coaxial cable transmission of TV signals, there are many uncertainties in Internet transmission.
Signal stability, production speed, cross-regional transmission efficiency, disaster recovery system, every link is crucial.
Faced with Chen Minhao's concert, a large-scale live broadcast event with unprecedented traffic, Penguin's CDN team (content distribution network, a direction of technology) has made a lot of preparations to ensure the smooth guarantee of rich user interactions such as ultra-high-definition image quality.
What to do if the signal source fails during the live broadcast, what to do if the operator's network fails, and other accidents, etc. The CDN team has imagined various possible problems and made careful plans.
In other words, they made what they thought was a thorough plan.
Penguin Riverfront Building, 15th floor. The office location of Penguin Video CDN team's R&D staff.
Programmers stared at the data in the monitoring system with their mouths agape.
They imagined various possibilities, but they didn't expect so many people to watch online at first.
"Chen Minhao is so awesome. Now that the concert has just started, there are more than 10 million viewers watching online."
"Go on, what a fool! This number is still growing crazily. What do these idiots in the operations department do for food? The estimated upper limit was 10 million, and now it has exceeded 10 million at the beginning. The system really can't handle it! "
"Brother Lu, remember you complained a few days ago that Brother Shen was making a fuss about how it was possible to reach the estimated upper limit of 10 million." An intern who was not very good at talking said.
The office was suddenly filled with happy air.
The joy was short-lived, as several R&D members of the CDN team issued alarms almost simultaneously.
"Boss, the network on network line 3 is overloaded."
"Boss, the backup B line is also currently experiencing network overload."
"Boss, some users are experiencing delays of more than 5 seconds."
"Boss, the network is occupied, and some users have different audio and video frequencies."
The bald young man who was called the boss by everyone was named Shen Jiaming.
He said calmly: "Initiate the first set of emergency measures to guide users to abandon ultra-clear mode and switch to normal clear mode."
The phone rang suddenly, and Shen Jiaming, who frowned, subconsciously wanted to hang up, but when he saw the caller ID was Li Weijie, he chose to pick up the call.
Li Weijie's impatient voice immediately came from the receiver: "Old Shen, is there anything wrong with your system?"
Shen Jiaming said: "There is no absolutely reliable system, and local failures are the norm."
"What do you mean? It's broken?" Li Weijie's voice suddenly rose in pitch.
Shen Jiaming felt that it was really tiring to communicate with people who did not understand technology, so he patiently explained: "Although there are abnormalities in the system, we can ensure that there are no abnormalities in the core business through some methods to cover up and protect."
Li Weijie breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart dropped into his stomach: "In other words, there will be no problems with tonight's live broadcast, right?"
Shen Jiaming ruthlessly exposed Li Weijie's expectations: "Of course not, there is an upper limit to the cover-up plan."
Damn, heartless.
"What's the upper limit?" Li Weijie asked anxiously.
"Twelve million, this is the upper limit of our past disaster drills. This number is a reference. The upper limit of the estimated number of people watching the concert at the same time as you mentioned before is 10 million."
"What will happen if this limit is exceeded?" Li Weijie was very worried and regretful. Why did we estimate the upper limit of 10 million at that time
Shen Jiaming said: "I will give you an inappropriate example. The drill was to prepare for a magnitude 7 earthquake, but now an earthquake of magnitude 8 has occurred."
"What should we do now?" Li Weijie asked while holding the phone and running towards the safety passage to the 15th floor.
If there is a serious freeze in the live broadcast tonight, Penguin Video will definitely be sprayed to death.
Within the company, you have to bear part of the blame.
But you really can’t blame yourself! Who could have imagined that there would be so many people watching the live broadcast of Chen Minhao's concert!
Li Weijie ran to the 15th floor and found the area where the CDN team was located.
When Shen Jiaming saw Li Weijie, he said directly: "There are currently more than 12 million viewers watching online."
Li Weijie said: "Don't let anything go wrong. Is there anything you can do now?"
Shen Jiaming sighed: "I have now diverted the traffic from the line. This will occupy the bandwidth resources of other content and affect the experience of other users who do not watch Chen Minhao's concert. Hey, I have already completed this project, and the performance this year will be very good. , it seems to be cold now.”
Li Weijie said: "This is indeed not what we expected before. Let's take the blame together. What happens next depends on how many people can watch it online."
"Just don't exceed fifteen million." Shen Jiaming said.
Li Weijie asked: "If it exceeds 15 million, problems will arise again, right?"
Shen Jiaming nodded.
Li Weijie was in a very contradictory mood at this time. Others were worried about his boyfriend not coming, but also worried about his boyfriend messing around. He was worried that the number of online viewers would not increase, but he was also worried that the number of online viewers would increase randomly.
Chen Minhao, wearing a white half-sleeve and blue jeans, holding a guitar, stood in the middle of the stage. He paused to allow himself to adapt to the lighting and atmosphere of the stage.
He said: "The city under our feet, Pengcheng, is the southern gate of China. Relying on the geographical advantages of Hong Kong and Macao, the economy has undergone earth-shaking changes in recent years. Since the reform and opening up, Pengcheng has attracted countless aspiring young men and women from across the country. These young people came to work hard and dedicated the best ten years of their lives to Pengcheng. In Pengcheng, they tasted the ups and downs of youth, love, career, friendship... "
