What is double-speed playback?

At present, most video platforms are not only equipped with the function of "double speed playback", but also provide diversified playback options from slow 0.5 to normal speed, double speed and even "just watching TA".

Holding a tablet computer and playing it at double speed, I finished ten episodes and twenty episodes in one night. The next day, I claimed that "watching" and exchanging stories had become the standard of living for young people.

According to a survey conducted by the Beijing News, nearly 70% (67.38%) of the 2/0/4 interviewees aged/0/8 to 40 usually watch videos at double speed. Domestic dramas and variety shows are the most frequently used video content categories; The flooding of video programs and the reduction of private time are the two main reasons for their double-speed playback; Most of them have a positive attitude towards double-speed playback, and think that this function allows users to choose more yuan and be more free.

Domestic dramas and variety shows are frequent visitors to double-speed broadcasting.

In the era when the internet is not so popular, it is the TV station that has the final say when the audience can watch what programs. If the audience doesn't like it, they can only choose to change the channel or turn it off. With the rise of video platforms, users have more and more decision-making power in this respect, and can even decide at what speed to play content. At present, Tencent, iQiyi, Youku and other major video platforms provide users with a variety of playback options: in addition to normal speed playback, there are also 0.5 times and 0.75 times slower, 0.25 times faster 1.5 times and 2 times faster, and "just watch TA" customized for fans.

According to the survey, nearly 70% (67.38%) of the viewers aged 18 to 40 will use the double-speed playback function when watching video programs. Among them, fast playback (1.25 times, 1.5 times and 2 times) and normal speed playback are the two most frequently used, followed by "just watching TA", and slow playback (0.5 times and 0.75 times) is the lowest. In "I prefer the content watched at double speed", the number of domestic dramas is the first, followed by variety shows, and the number of Korean dramas, Japanese dramas and American dramas is decreasing in turn.

"Just watch TA" is a function customized by the video platform for fans. Viewers can choose the scene of a star in the program to watch according to their own preferences and needs, so as to skip the uninteresting parts. This function can be called an efficient and time-saving idol weapon, which is deeply favored by fans and audiences.

What did they say?

Gu Wei is a VIP member of several video websites. He has used all kinds of playing functions, but he does use fast playing and normal speed playing more. "These functions have been used, curious. I like to watch some foreign original movies and plays, and my listening is not very good. American TV series, English TV series and American movies can't be equated. I have to watch them with subtitles. Of course, you have to play at normal speed. If it is slow, the sound will be strange. However, if I look at domestic dramas and variety shows, they are generally 1.25 times or 1.5 times faster, which does not affect the understanding of the plot at all. " Gu Wei said that he also used the slow playback function. "A long time ago, in the 83rd edition of Legend of the Condor Heroes, I saw an official WeChat account saying that Stephen Chow was a walk-on, so I played the episode slowly at that time, just to watch Stephen Chow play a walk-on. After all, it is impossible for the platform to produce a' just look at Stephen Chow' for such a walk-on scene. "

The self-proclaimed "rice circle girl" told reporters that after watching "Dear, Love" in summer, she and her friends chose to "just look at the sky". Han Xiao also used 0.5 times slow playback. "When I was an idol trainee, so many people performed on stage together. My favorite Aidou was not in the front row C, and the pace of program editing was still very fast. I had to slow down and find his shot."

Tian is in Dear, Love. The picture comes from the internet.

Eighty or ninety groups, young people really don't have time to watch.

"Prove in one sentence how idle you are? No need to watch the drama at double speed! " Although this is a joke on the internet, it also shows from the side that the content of the drama is flooding and the plot is dragging on. Now TV series starts from 40 episodes, 70 episodes are also very common, 90 episodes are not dreams, and 30 episodes can only be considered small. Li Feng, who is obsessed with Zhou Xun, was full of expectations when the film Ruyi Palace starring Zhou Xun started shooting. As a result, he found the camera unbearably slow. At first glance, the total number of episodes is 87, and he doesn't like to use double speed. After chasing two episodes, I gave up the play.

In fact, the number of episodes has never been a necessary condition for making high-quality dramas. There are only 25 episodes in the classic version of Journey to the West, 36 episodes in the version of Dream of Red Mansions, 20 17 explosive dramas, and "Chasing the Murder in the White Night" with Douban score of 9.0, but there are only 32 episodes.

A practitioner of a TV drama production company told the Beijing News that many "big dramas" actually don't need so many episodes to complete the story, but all parties involved in the production are willing to add as many episodes as possible to make a profit. In the creative stage, let the screenwriter add some irrelevant scenes to slow down the narrative rhythm; Add the previous episode to the broadcast to shorten the actual duration of a single episode and increase the total number of episodes. Because most TV dramas are priced and sold by episodes, actors are also paid by episodes, and the increase in the number of episodes can benefit both the drama and the actors; For TV stations, the increase in the number of episodes means more advertising space, which also increases revenue. All parties benefit, but only the interests of the audience are damaged.
