The most critical thing is this player's arrangement, which makes Lin Xia feel more comfortable.
In fact, Lin Xia's previous arrangement of this song was of a more exciting type, and the singing requirements were also very high.
But after this contestant adapted it, the difficulty of singing this song was greatly reduced.
This contestant sang until the end, and even the audience present could sing together.
This player's stage performance really made everyone feel that he was very powerful.
After this contestant finished his performance, other contestants began to perform on stage one after another. At this time, audiences around the world were also watching the live broadcast of this program.
After the first episode of the program was broadcast, this program still received great attention.
But after this show ended, there was no way to continue the global live broadcast of the show, because Netflix announced that Lin Xia's show would not be broadcast live on the Netflix platform. As soon as this news came out, the world began to discuss it.
This happened.

Online game business.
On November 18, 2021, the streaming media platform Netflix announced on its official website that it would increase the membership fee of Bangziguo.
According to news on November 4, 2022, according to Legendary Pictures, "Miss Sherlock Holmes 2", which was launched on flix today, will be launched nationwide. The Chinese title is "Miss Holmes: London Doom".
On September 29, 2023, flix announced that the company had officially terminated its DVD rental and delivery service.
Flix is an American company that provides Internet on-demand streaming, customized DVDs, and Blu-ray disc online rental services in the United States and Canada. The company was founded in 1997 and is headquartered in Los Gatos, California. It started subscription services in 1999 and in 2009
, the company can provide up to 100,000 DVD movies and has 10 million subscribers. On February 25, 2007, flix announced that it had sold its 1 billionth DVD.
Quoting news from Reuters on September 21, 2012 in New York: After nearly three years of competition among more than 40,000 teams from 186 countries, flix, the world's largest online video rental service, announced a team of engineers, statisticians, and research experts.
The team formed won the flix award, and the team successfully improved the recommendation efficiency of flix's video recommendation engine by 10%.
The flix award contestants continue to improve the efficiency of video recommendation, and flix customers are already benefiting from this.
With the award of the One Million Meter Gold Award, flix soon announced the second Million Meter Gold Award, hoping that the world's computer experts and machine learning experts can continue to improve the efficiency of the recommendation engine.
The winning team, BPC (BellKor's Pragmatic Chaos), was reorganized from three teams that were originally competitors, and received a 1 million bonus from Hartings, the founder and CEO of flix.
The seven members of the team are computer experts, statistical experts and artificial intelligence experts from Austria, Canada, Israel and the United States. All seven members participated in the award ceremony. This was also the first time that these seven members met. This million
How the prize money is distributed will be at the discretion of the team.
CEO Hartings said: “We experienced a very fierce competition. The participating teams initially worked independently, and then worked together, and finally increased the film recommendation efficiency to more than 10%.
As the deadline for the competition approaches, new entries are being submitted rapidly, making the entire competition process very tortuous and thrilling.”
flix said that the BPC team finally narrowly defeated another team, the Ensemble, which was also a new team composed of multiple former participating teams.
In the end, the film recommendation efficiency of the two teams was very close. The jury composed of experts from flix and university professors spent several weeks to select the final winner, Professor Elkann of the University of California, San Diego and the University of California, San Diego.
Professor Smith from the University of Irvine participated in the competition judging panel.
The rules of the competition require the winning team to disclose the recommendation algorithm they use, so that many businesses can benefit from it. The winning entries and contestant rating methods will be published in the Machine Learning Journal of the University of California, Irvine.
This chapter is not over, please click the next page to continue reading! The first flix grand prize successfully solved a huge challenge, providing viewers with more than 50 ratings to accurately predict their tastes, and the next million grand prize is targeted
, recommending movies to customers who do not rate movies often or do not rate them at all, requires the use of some geographical and behavioral data that hides audience tastes to make predictions. Likewise, winners need to disclose their algorithms.
If this problem can be solved, flix can quickly start recommending movies to new customers without having to wait for customers to provide a large amount of rating data before making recommendations.
The new competition data set has 100 million pieces of data, including rating data, customer age, gender, residential zip code, and previously watched videos. All data is anonymous and cannot be associated with any customer of flix.

Unlike the first Grand Prix, this competition does not set a competition goal. 500,000 meters in gold will be awarded to the team that takes the lead within 6 months, and the other 500,000 meters in gold will be awarded to the team that takes the lead after 18 months.
The recommendation engine is a key service of flix. More than 10 million customers can rate movies from 1 to 5 on a personalized web page. flix puts these ratings into a huge data set with a capacity of
More than 3 billion.
Flix uses recommendation algorithms and software to identify the likely ratings of films by viewers with similar tastes. Over the past two years, Flix has used contestant methods to improve the efficiency of film recommendations, which has been well received by many film critics and users.

Dr. Rick Hangartner, chief scientist of the Strands recommendation engine, writes: "In the short term, search engines will increasingly incorporate simple recommendation techniques that handle close query terms (e.g., 'You are looking for
is this, based on similar queries/other people’s searches, this is what you are probably looking for.”) But in the long run, recommendation technology will be more pervasive than the search industry and search technology.”
The lack of content is flix's fatal flaw. We all know that flix is a high-profile and controversial company today, and I will avoid going into the details of its well-known status.
The focus will be on the reasons for its negative growth: high-cost content acquisition products are eroding flix's streaming operations. The fact that DVD revenue is now suffering heavy losses every quarter has made flix's once prosperous DVD business no longer an important factor.
components of growth.
Flix provides two services: sending DVDs via email and watching DVDs online. Users need to pay 10 yuan per month.
Later, Fix decided to raise the service price. Users could pay 8 yuan per month and choose to enjoy one of the two services; if they chose both, they would have to pay 16 yuan. After the price increase, users and investors were very dissatisfied.
The company's business volume has decreased a lot.
On July 19, 2022, according to "Hollywood Report", flix announced the acquisition of Australian animation and visual effects studio Animal Logic.
In February 2023, according to two Reuters insiders, flix decided to open an office in Vietnam after multiple rounds of negotiations and risk assessments with officials. The flix office may open as early as the end of 2023, but it may also take longer.
Complete regulatory procedures.
On April 18, 2023, Flix announced that the company is gradually shutting down its DVD-by-mail mail rental business. This service has been maintained for approximately 25 years and will mail the last disc on September 29.
flix misjudged their users. Although many users use one of the two services more often, they are willing to pay 10 yuan per month to enjoy both services. In fact, flix has a better strategy - monthly
The fee of 10 yuan remains unchanged, but the "traffic" of one of the two services is limited. If you want to enjoy more, you have to pay more. This may retain more old users and win more new users.
Not to make matters worse, Netflix soon realized that the price increase had negative consequences, and the company lost 1 million more subscribers than expected.
Investors weren't happy either - the company's stock price fell by almost 50%, and the company failed to explain the price increase to users or try to calm angry users.
Enterprises should find out why users are unhappy, explain in the most appropriate way why you want to raise prices, or provide appropriate solutions. As an enterprise, you only have one chance to correct your mistakes. No matter what you do, don’t let users
Dealing with you becomes harder.
When flix announced a price increase, it did not communicate the value of the price increase to users. It only considered the company's own interests, such as the increased cost of purchasing copyrights from film production companies.
Xingzhi Entertainment has always been the main source of online movies for flix. Because it failed to renew its contract with Xingzhi Entertainment, the quality of flix's online movies has declined. Maybe flix should increase prices while working hard to collect more and better movies for users.
.
Users maintain extensive contact through various media. They will tell people around them how good your company is, and they will also add insult to injury to let people know how bad your company is. Therefore, your company wants to introduce policies that are beneficial to the interests of users.
When making decisions that have a major impact, think twice before making a decision.
Nowadays, many companies attach great importance to relying on new technologies and new media to promote themselves. We were surprised to find that flix was not registered on a social networking site, but someone registered a web page dedicated to playing pornographic videos in its name. Manage and make good use of your "online identity"
Very important for businesses.
Many households have Internet service and mixed media such as cable or satellite television. High-profile television content distributors across the country include Comcast, DIRECTV, and Time Warner, and many publications have reported on the strong demand for streaming services.
These trends indicate that demand for streaming media will continue to grow.
In terms of streaming media services, flix has a strong competitive advantage. Compared with Comcast's cable TV subscriptions, flix has more unique streaming media users. In the United States, as a content viewing platform, flix has the strength to claim that it has
Largest subscriber audience.
In 2010, flix began to expand beyond the United States. It first launched TV and streaming services in Canada, and also began to build markets in Latin America, the Caribbean and Europe.
In the same year, flix officially logged into the Apple Store (AppStore), which greatly facilitated followers of flix TV series and broadened its market and influence in the streaming media industry.
As of 2014, flix has successfully launched services in more than ten countries in Europe, including the United Kingdom, France, the Netherlands and other countries. According to the annual report released by flix in early 2015, the company has more than 57 million users in nearly 50 countries.
Flix, a major copyright video site, has launched a private viewing mode that can keep users’ viewing records confidential.
According to the American technology news website Gigaom, flix is currently testing a private viewing mode. Cliff Edwards, the company’s director of product and technology public relations, said that according to this feature, users can choose to watch TV series and movies.
Watch in private mode.
This means that the record of watching the video will not appear in the user's historical viewing record. In addition, flix will not adopt the program data in privacy mode when making intelligent program recommendations to users.
Obviously, this privacy mode will be suitable for some users to watch some heavy-duty movies and TV series in the dead of night.
Excluding privacy mode content in movie and TV program recommendations will also help users avoid other embarrassments, such as guests coming to the house and seeing surprising recommended programs on flix using the remote control. In addition, the person who temporarily cares for the house at home will also
You will not see private recommendations.
Edward said that this feature is still being tested in multiple markets and will be considered for deployment in the future based on the testing situation, but the private viewing mode may not be open to all flix users around the world.
On November 14, 2014, flix closed the public API (Application Programming Interface) and no longer supports many third-party applications developed using this API.
