My Animation Era

This is Wanbao's first attempt to publicly broadcast its animation works exclusively on the Internet.

Regarding the results...

Everyone has no idea, let alone how many people will choose to become a member to watch, or how many views the animation will receive on the first day after it goes online.

It shouldn't be too ugly, right?

With an uneasy feeling, Wanbao Video Website has released the first and second episodes of the animation "The Moon is Beautiful".

Why release two episodes in one go?

On the one hand, just watching one episode really doesn’t reveal much, and it’s difficult for the audience to immerse themselves in it. On the other hand, the first episode is free, and the second episode is exclusive to VIPs.

Whether it’s for the viewing experience or just a ten-dollar membership, releasing two episodes in one go is the best choice.

Of course, Gu Miao had also considered it.

Perhaps "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" can be released like many foreign online animations, twelve episodes in one go, for everyone to enjoy.

For example, Netflix often does this...

The benefits of this are obvious. For the audience, the viewing experience of releasing the entire episode in one go and catching up to the ending at once is simply not that satisfying.

The downside is that the heat drops quickly.

Although with the help provided by Mr. Tan, the animation "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" is not lacking in traffic and popularity, but Gu Miao feels that releasing twelve episodes at once is too exaggerated.

One episode a day!

Let me give you a break. Although this is not as exciting as releasing twelve episodes at once, it is still much better than the constipated "weekly update" of one episode a week.

After the two episodes of animation were lifted, a large number of viewers who were "drained" quickly poured in.

The number of views continues to rise...

It only took less than an hour to go from zero to one million, and it only took one morning to go from one million to five million.

It’s not prime time yet!

You know, when the first two episodes of the animation were lifted, most people were at work and school, and it was difficult to find time to watch animation.

It is expected that there will be another round in the evening, with explosive growth!

…

Yan Tao is very free today.

It was the Lantern Festival, and although the streets were busier than usual with people coming and going, there was no one else but him in the furniture store he and his wife ran.

Business is very bleak...

This was a disappointing thing, but Yan Tao didn't feel sad, and was even slightly happy.

No business is good!

There were no customers or business in the store, so he could just be lazy and play on his mobile phone to pass the time.

There is no one anyway. Even if his wife comes back, she won't say anything if she sees him being lazy.

"hey-hey!"

Yan Tao, who rarely took a break from his busy schedule, leaned on the chair and crossed his legs, took out the mobile phone his wife gave him for his birthday last year from his pocket, and opened the Wanbao Video APP.

This is a treasure software!

Yan Tao likes Wanbao Video very much, not only because he likes to watch animations, but also because it has a "community" function that allows him to get to know many "similar people".

In his spare time, he likes to spend time in the community, exchanging ideas with everyone, and sharing animated works that he thinks are good-looking.

"Hey! The moonlight is so beautiful?"

As soon as he opened the APP, Yan Tao was slightly surprised by the "Moonlight Is So Beautiful" advertisement that popped up on the opening page of the software.

He knows this animation.

After all, the Internet is full of promotions for this animation. It would be nonsense to say that he, a senior 2D enthusiast, doesn't know about it.

But he didn't expect it to be broadcast so soon.

Wuhu!

Although the "youth love" theme is not his favorite, put aside everything else, just because of the title of "Jiangchuan Gu Sanshui", this animation is worth watching!

Yan Tao, who had not yet decided what videos to watch to pass the time, immediately decided after seeing the advertisement that he would watch "The Moon Is So Beautiful" today.

Well! Update two episodes at once?

Very sincere!

The two episodes together were almost an hour long. It happened that my wife went to the market to buy groceries and there was not a single hour that she couldn't get back. It was just the right time.

Thinking of this, Yan Tao quickly clicked on the first episode and started watching the animation amidst the melodious music.

"Spring 2010..."

"Because of the separation of arts and sciences, Tan An and Ye Qian, two strangers, became classmates."

As the two met and the plot progressed, a wave of beautiful memories about "adolescence" instantly came to mind, making Tan An fall into nostalgia.

Puberty?

He seemed to remember that when he was in the third year of junior high school, he also met a girl who looked very much like Ye Qian.

Her hair is very soft...

Yan Tao, who was sitting in the row behind her, could often smell the fragrance of "shampoo". She likes to laugh, and her eyelashes tremble when she smiles, which is really charming.

What's her name?

Yan Tao found that he couldn't remember clearly. He only remembered that in the summer after graduating from the third year of junior high school, he mustered up the courage to confess to her under the encouragement of his best friend.

As a result, that day, he backed down halfway through...

Yan Tao, who wrote 800 words of draft and practiced "expression and demeanor" management all night, felt for the first time that it takes so much courage to confess to the person you like.

"What was I thinking?"

Yan Tao, who was caught up in his memories, thought of his current wife, who had given him a pair of children. She was a well-run wife and couldn't help but give him a slap in the face.

Something's wrong, something's wrong!

Yan Tao was inexplicably reminded of his "adolescence" memories by an animation, and suddenly felt a guilty feeling of "sorry" for his wife.

But even so...

There was still a voice in his mind that kept confusing him: If he had been braver that day, that summer, and told her his true feelings to her, what would have been the outcome?

The first episode of the animation comes to an end.

As Ye Qian plucked up the courage to ask Tan An for her Live contact information, the two added each other as friends, and the sweet chat records of the two "after marriage" emerged at the end of the film.

Yan Tao once again thought about it.

It seems, it seems, if he remembers correctly, he has also used the Live software, and most importantly, he has also added many junior high school classmates.

So……

Is she among my friends?

With great anticipation, Yan Tao opened the app store and found the "unpopular" Live chat software that he cruelly uninstalled after using it once.

Download and install!

When he opened the software again and logged into an account he hadn't logged into for nearly six or seven years, he found that he was really cute.

At that time, avatars were still not mainstream.

The friend list is completely dark, and the last friends who logged in were all 367 days ago.

This is enough to prove how completely cool the Live software is and how pitiful the number of users is.

But that’s okay…

Everyone doesn’t use Live anymore, which proves that that person doesn’t use Live either. In this way, Yan Tao can muster up the courage to tell her what he didn't say that summer.

"Although you can't see it anymore, I still want to say that..."

The message has been sent.

Looking at the gray profile picture and the reminder that he had not logged in for 725 days, Yan Tao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. As if he had accomplished his mission, he smiled with relief.

Great!

No regrets now.

But just when he completed his "mission" and was about to uninstall the software, his phone suddenly vibrated, indicating that he had received a new Live reply.

"Thank you for liking me!"

Yan Tao: "???"

Isn’t this software outdated? Haven't you been offline for more than 700 days?

Before he could figure out what was going on, his ears were suddenly pinched, and a roar came from behind.

"Hurrah!"

"While I'm going out to buy groceries, you're going to be dating online, right? Yan Tao! Don't you want to live anymore?"
