Why is the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition so popular among movie fans?

"Movies are a continuous video image developed from the combination of kinematic photography and slide projection. They are a modern visual and auditory art, and a synthesis of modern technology and art that can accommodate tragedy and comedy, literary drama, photography, painting, music, dance, writing, sculpture, architecture and other arts."

The above passage from Encyclopedia fully explains the important value of movies in modern people's lives.

But for most users, especially those without a partner, movie theaters often seem out of reach in their busy work and life. A mobile hard drive plus a display device often becomes a shortcut for people to enjoy movies.

Until recently, with the emergence of the popular version of the 1905 movie box, the traditional way of watching movies at home relying on hard drives may soon become a thing of the past.

In the previous unboxing experience, "small, unique, and sentimental" is our final evaluation of the appearance design of the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition. In terms of the design of the system interface, the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition is also quite easy to use.

If Xiaomi's MIUI TV version is a benchmark for UI design of smart TV products, then the UI design and operation logic of the 1905 Movie Box Mass Edition are very similar to MIUI. Even in the arrangement of the input method keyboard, although it does not completely solve the "hard nut to crack" problem of input on the TV screen, the readjusted button position makes you no longer so embarrassed when entering Wi-Fi passwords and searching for movies.

The 1905 Movie Box Mass Edition system is developed based on Android 4.4, and surprisingly retains the "ART" software operating mode. The native system settings menu that has not undergone secondary development scared us when we used it for the first time, but if you think about it carefully, this is not an area that is touched by the ordinary user market, and it is not a big disadvantage.

In terms of hardware parameters, the ARM Cortex-A5 quad-core processor with 1GB of RAM is not high-end, but it is enough to ensure the smooth operation of the system and the main needs of watching high-definition videos. In terms of application expansion, there is no problem in installing the popular "How to Train Your Dragon" on the current TV platform to play some airplane games.

Back to the topic of movies, as a product with "movie" written into the product name, the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition has movie elements that are more than just playing a few blockbusters. At the top of the main interface, the "CCTV6" classification label shows its different thinking on content from other TV box products.

CCTV6 is a well-known movie channel. In addition to the movies themselves, what is more eye-catching are the movie columns of various styles.

Under this category, icons such as "Hatano Yui Fights for Golden Horse Award", Iron Man, and Huang Xiaoming kissing Yang Mi cater to the preferences of different movie-watching users. In the sub-categories, various film and television information appears in a carousel. Whether it is "P. Diddy" from Europe and the United States or Rain and Fan Bingbing from Asia, everything that movie fans care about is available. The smaller window playback format also effectively offsets the common problem of average picture quality of TV programs.

In addition to the "lazy" viewing mode of information carousel, branded movie columns such as "Good Movies", "China Film Report", "Light and Shadow New Podcast", and "World Film Tour" in the movie channel can also be found in the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition. More importantly, most columns are "broadcast on the Internet before on TV."

As a TV box that focuses on movie content, the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition has cut out other content including TV series. Under the film and television library category, it provides more than 6,000 Chinese and foreign blockbusters.

The classification of the film and television library by film subject is simple and clear. For film selection, users can choose to classify by region, era or clarity. Chinese-language films account for a relatively large proportion. This year's latest releases "Along the Way" and "Beijing New York" are also included in the VIP project. At this time, the randomly given 3-month 1905 interactive VIP membership card plays an important role.

The content information on each movie's details page is relatively detailed, covering the director, leading actors, synopsis and ratings, which can serve as a reference indicator for users to watch movies.

That's right, it's no exaggeration to say that the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition will make movie fans love it, and the only regret is the actual film playback. With a network bandwidth of more than 10M in our test environment, it is naturally no pressure to play smoothly in all kinds of clarity, but even with the best ultra-clear effect, the actual playback situation is still uneven. For the same ultra-clear, there are three situations: high-definition widescreen, non-widescreen and insufficient clarity. Well, maybe for now, an online 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition still cannot reach the viewing level of a 1080P movie downloaded from a mobile hard drive.

Overall, the 1905 Movie Box Popular Edition is good enough for most movie lovers. Although the viewing experience cannot be compared with the Blu-ray original discs that are dozens of GB in size, in our actual use, a special column about actor Zhang Jiayi is enough for fans of the high-quality idol uncle to watch for several hours, not to mention that you can also see a large amount of high-quality content ranging from the Golden Horse Awards to the Oscars. The charm of this is self-evident.

As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity.
