City: Become a principal from junior college!

Chapter 292 Penguin Video collapsed!

The trailer of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" sparked huge discussion during the Chinese New Year.

Because the quality of the trailer itself is very high.

In addition, this is Star Academy’s first original work for the general public.

Naturally arousing expectations.

Not to mention that this is a series, which is said to be aimed at Marvel.

Although Star Academy has never experienced this kind of popularity.

But this is basically what the outside world talks about.

With all kinds of blessings, tonight's premiere of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is incredibly popular.

Penguin Film and Television is one of the largest film and television platforms in China.

The shareholders behind it are Xunteng and have deep pockets.

Basically, as long as your network speed is fine, you won't encounter lagging problems at all.

But today, many people turned on Penguin Movies early, waiting for updates on Lu Dongbin’s awakening.

But today.

Netizens were surprised to find that Penguin Film and Television’s APP had some glitches.

It’s not just the APP that freezes, it also happens on web pages and TVs.

But most netizens didn’t think much about it.

After all, it is normal for Internet companies to experience lags.

Didn’t a taxi-hailing app crash a few days ago?

Therefore, it is enough as long as it does not affect their viewing of the show.

When eight o'clock comes, the first episode of "Lu Dongbin: Awakening" is officially updated.

Countless netizens immediately clicked into it.

I want to see what this fairy tale with a modern setting is like.

But the next moment.

Everyone was stunned.

Because after clicking to enter, you can't see any videos at all.

As far as I can see, there is only one buffering...

Many netizens said they had not seen this prompt for many years.

The last time I saw it, it was when the slow broadcast software was still alive.

At this moment, many netizens have already guessed.

It is estimated that "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" attracted too many viewers, causing Penguin Video's bandwidth to be unable to keep up.

So that's how it is.

It's not a big problem, just wait for a while.

But after waiting for several minutes, the first episode of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is still buffering.

And when they wanted to go back, they found that they couldn't even refresh the home page.

Even when they opened their personal homepages, many members of Penguin Video found that their membership was gone...

This……

Netizens were completely shocked.

Penguin Video, is it broken?

Immediately, they opened social media and wrote down their encounters in their feeds.

Just blink.

A new entry.

It topped the trending search list.

"Penguin video collapsed..."

Countless netizens complained about the Penguin video below.

"It's so rubbish. You just woke up to "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening", and you collapsed in the end?"

"Don't buy the premiere if you don't have the ability. Isn't it embarrassing? Are you just like a grassroots team?"

"I didn't prepare anything in advance, which is really disappointing."

"If my little website wins the first broadcast rights, it will definitely not collapse!"

"Why did it crash? Is it because the Penguin Cloud Server is not working?"

"I mean, is it possible that too many viewers came to watch "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" and the server was overwhelmed?"

Netizens are looking for the cause of the collapse.

Ask Penguin Video to hurry up.

But Penguin's response was obviously very quick.

Even though an announcement was made.

"Penguin Video has experienced network fluctuations, which has caused users to be unable to use the application normally. We are deeply sorry."

"After emergency investigation by engineers, we have confirmed the cause of the failure."

"The number of people playing online at the same time far exceeds the peak limit of our server."

"But we have urgently started repairs."

"Allocate a lot of server resources from dad."

"It is expected to be repaired within 5 minutes."

Netizens were shocked when they saw Penguin Video’s announcement.

Did they really crush Penguin Video?
This is really a first time.

After all, Penguin Video has had so many popular dramas over the years.

It was never said which drama was released that caused the website to crash.

There is only one outrageous thing to say.

This hot search also let more netizens know that "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" was updated today and came to watch.

It has to be said that the strength of big manufacturers is still very strong.

Just 2 minutes later, the Penguin video returned to normal.

While netizens were worried about another crash, they still couldn't wait to enter the page and start watching.

And when the video starts.

The exquisite picture appeared in front of them, and the netizens' expectant eyes were extremely serious.

"Here, is the protagonist really handsome? Can he do whatever he wants if he's handsome?"

"Are all the one-night stand supporting actresses at the beginning of this high quality? I can only say that it's a pity that Luffy doesn't draw a small book!"

"What a cool fight. This fighting style makes me feel like I'm back to when I first watched Dragon Ball. It's so hot-blooded!"

"Huh... this plot is so exciting. The protagonist is flirting with girls, pretending to be cool, and the royal sister is begging him to join a special organization and give you ten yuan. Let me live this kind of life."

"It's so hearty, I haven't seen such a fun story for a long time..."

"Is there only one episode? Why is there only one episode? I regret it so much. If I had known I would not watch it, I will update one episode a week. How will I survive the next few days..."

"..."

The first episode of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" lasts for 10 minutes.

Although it is longer than a 5-minute short play like Peppa Pig.

But if you watch it intently, it will basically be over in the blink of an eye.

After watching it, netizens had only one feeling.

That's just not enough.

Really not enough.

Many netizens are regretting it.

Why did you join in the fun and watch the show so early? The feeling of catching up on the show is simply not too painful.

At the same time, many uploaders and film critics have begun to write film reviews and post videos to talk about their thoughts after watching the film.

"The picture is simply stunning. The characters are all lifelike, and there is no stiffness in the movements. The dubbing and soundtrack are obviously well-thought-out. It is definitely a top-notch work in the Chinese comic industry."

"The rhythm of the story is really perfect, and the characters in it are also very full-bodied, which shows the strength of the screenwriter."

"The most handsome thing is the fighting skills. The expressiveness and sense of impact are really strong. It is comparable to the original Dragon Ball. The punches are so satisfying that I sometimes wonder if Akira Toriyama went to Star Academy to become a teacher. "

"I'm actually not very good at talking. My biggest opinion about the first episode of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is that it's really fun. It's really fun. It's fun from beginning to end. Especially the protagonist is handsome, which makes me particularly excited. empathy!"

"Good reviews, very good reviews! I can only say that Xingchen Academy is really the Whampoa Military Academy in the animation industry, and the students it trains are simply gods..."

"I was worried that Xingchen Academy wouldn't be able to produce original works before, but now it seems that I was overthinking it. The original works produced by Xingchen students are already ridiculously good!"

The big Vs and up owners who posted the news immediately received unanimous praise.

But there are also many critics.

The old tune is repeated that Star Academy does not respect traditional mythological characters.

There are many comments that the adaptation is not a random arrangement and the play is not nonsense.

There are many people who say that the first episode of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" has no nutrition and no content. It is just a soap opera, just for the sake of fun, and the protagonist is all pretentious.

but no matter. There is no need to doubt the popularity of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" in China.

The backend staff of Penguin Video were even more surprised when they saw that the update had exceeded [-] million views in just half an hour after it went online.

"Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" completely broke the records of Penguin Video and even all domestic platforms.

Generally speaking, TV dramas are popular if the number of views exceeds [-] million.

With over [-] million views, it is definitely an unparalleled drama this year.

Moreover, the playback volume of these dramas is not just one day, it is basically accumulated slowly through updates.

There are even many fake ones.

But "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is different. It only had such a high number of views within an hour of being online.

And there is absolutely no data fraud.

It really amazed them.

Everyone knows that as long as the quality of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" can be maintained.

It will definitely create miracles.

And Star Academy creating a series comparable to Marvel is no longer just a dream.

Because judging from the current results.

It is not impossible for the entire Sleeping Immortal series to surpass Marvel's achievements.

China can actually create a universe series comparable to Marvel.

This makes them, who have deep roots in the film and television industry and understand the difficulties involved, very emotional.

Star Academy is really outrageous.

If someone had said a few years ago that a college could help the Chinese comic industry rise, no one would have believed it.

But now, it's really happening.

……

this day.

The entire internet was basically obsessed with "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening".

Whether it’s Moments, Weibo, or Douyin.

Discussions and praise about "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" can be seen everywhere.

Countless netizens have become fans of this show.

Even many people who didn’t like watching anime were attracted to it.

Anyone with eyes can see it.

"Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is definitely the most popular anime this year, bar none.

This means that anime is not as popular as live-action dramas after all.

What if "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" was a live-action TV series.

The heat will only become more intense.

the next day.

Star Academy, the building assigned to Star Animation Company, burst into cheers.

The students in the entire production team were extremely excited.

The popularity of Mao Mao Porridge made them all hold their breath.

Work hard to create the most perfect work.

And now the results are finally coming. The results of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" have not lived up to their expectations.

Even far exceeded their expectations.

After all, they originally thought that it might take a few episodes to be updated before it could become popular through word-of-mouth.

Who would have thought that it would become popular on the first day.

And in the principal's office.

Ye Chen couldn't help but smile when he looked at the data report sent by his partner Penguin Video.

Yesterday's premiere, Ye Chen didn't watch it, but was enjoying a candlelight dinner with Lu Jing.

Mainly because Ye Chen had watched the first three episodes before the update.

I even watched the foreign version.

Ye Chen is full of confidence in the level of his work.

It is not a big surprise that "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" became such a hit on the first day and received over [-] million views.

Because "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" has one biggest advantage.

That's cool...

In modern society, the pace of life is fast and the pressure from the outside world is high.

Most people don't bother to read the heavy subject matter even if they are interested.

Because life is hard enough.

They just want to watch something relaxing and exciting.

That’s why things like online novels, short plays, and short videos can become popular.

And those film and television works that do not make people happy will naturally be eliminated.

Even if the quality is extremely high, it is difficult to get very good results.

As for "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening", the protagonist is cool, the heroine is beautiful, and the plot simply doesn't drag on.

The protagonist is either showing off or on the way to showing off.

Even though he is obviously the reincarnation of a sleeping immortal, but he is unwilling to accept such an identity, it is also a kind of pretense.

It's like the rich second generation complaining that they have nothing after spending money.

As long as the audience takes on the role of the protagonist, the viewing experience really won't be too good.

Of course, such treatment will also make the plot relatively shallow and fast, lacking some charm and connotation.

There are many criticisms on the Internet, thinking that Star Academy is completely producing assembly-line garbage popcorn animation.

Please the audience without any bottom line.

In this regard, Ye Chen didn't bother to comment or respond at all.

This is a commercial project, why not do it for fun?
If you really want to see something meaningful, wouldn't it be better to go see an art film?
There are so many art films begging the audience to watch every day.

Ye Chen can only say that there are many netizens on the Internet who seek content in commercial films and fun in literary films.

It's a complete waste of time to deal with them.

"Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" is now popular in China, with the first episode having over [-] million views.

Although Ye Chen arrived, the high number of views of the first episode was due to its popularity, attracting many passers-by.

By the second episode, the playback volume will begin to slowly drop back to normal levels.

After all, many middle-aged people really have no interest in animation.

But even so, it is not difficult for "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" to maintain a viewing volume of 4000 million for a single episode.

This has huge benefits in laying a good foundation for the Sleeping Immortal series.

In addition to the domestic market.

Other countries and regions will basically update online within these two days.

Although there is a cultural gap.

Foreign audiences do not understand the legend of Lu Dongbin, an immortal.

It is also difficult to understand many of the local customs and customs in the film.

But Ye Chen feels that the performance of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" abroad will definitely not be bad.

And it turned out to be so.

Noon the next day.

The island nation and South Korea, which have about the same time difference as China, took the lead in updating the first episode of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" online.

On that day alone, "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" topped the animation charts in both countries.

It sparked countless discussions.

And soon, Netflix also launched an update of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" in Europe and the United States.

Netflix was originally very optimistic about "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening", and with China, Japan and South Korea taking the lead in achieving results.

It proves that this work is very popular.

Netflix did not hesitate to increase the amount of promotion.

So on that day.

The number of views on the Netflix website for "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" easily exceeded 8000 million within [-] hours.

Beyond the recent hit Korean drama Dark Glory.

It successfully topped Netflix’s popularity list.

It can be said.

"Lu Dongbin: The Awakening" was released in just two or three days.

It shows the potential to become a global hit!
