Rebirth Starts at 7 Million

There was a green light all the way to Xiaopo Station and various promotions. Almost immediately, Xiaoqi's video appeared in the homepage recommendation of most users of Xiaopo Station.

As the largest two-dimensional community in the country, Xiaopo Station has a large proportion of people who like to watch anime.

However, in the network environment in 2016, the popularity of domestic animation is so bad that there is a three-no-seeing principle circulating on the Internet.

That is, do not watch domestic animation, do not watch 3D animation, and do not watch the animation of the love story.

Why there are these three do not see principles, in the final analysis, most of the 3D animations are basically shoddy due to the problem of production costs, and they cannot achieve the effect that netizens want to see.

Domestic animation also likes to add some nonsensical jokes and emotional lines. Many works are not bad at the beginning, and they are more and more drawn later.

Therefore, netizens feel that instead of disappointing themselves, they might as well choose not to watch.

In the words of a senior animation area up master: domestic animation is full of shoddy production, and domestic animation works are estimated to be only game promotional films.

Yang Zhi is such an in-depth anime lover. Usually, his greatest interest is to chase after Xiaopo Station, and he is also a firm adherent of the principle of "three no-sees".

In the evening, Yang Zhi returned to the dormitory after class. After he ordered a takeout for himself through Baidu Takeout, he lay in bed as usual and browsed station B to see if there was any good anime recently.

Yang Zhi's thumb slid off the screen, and the homepage was immediately refreshed.

At this time, a special video in the animation area came into his sight.

The title of the video is very ordinary: "Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Qi! 》

Yang Zhi glanced at the up master and found that it was the official name of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.

Yang Zhi is a big fan of Xingyuan. When he first went to college, he started to play Xingyuan's "Defend the Radish" and later he played every game released by Xingyuan, and now "Peace Elite" is even more of them. Bedtime exercise every night in the dorm.

"Eat a handful of chicken and sleep!" This is the slogan of their dormitory.

Although I often call until 1 or 2 in the morning, I can't eat chicken.

So when Yang Zhi saw that the up of the video was the official name of Xingyuan Technology Co., Ltd.,

Choose to click in.

Yang Zhi clicked on the video, and the same handsome young lady with a lake blue boy and short gray-white hair appeared on the screen as on the cover.

As the video began to play, Yang Zhi was completely shocked.

"Fuck, this is too smooth!"

Looking at Xiao Qi's dancing movements that were almost the same as real people, Yang Zhiren was dumbfounded.

It wasn't until halfway through the progress bar that he reacted with hindsight.

Yang Zhi hurriedly adjusted the screen to full-screen playback, almost sticking his entire face on the screen.

To be honest, Yang Zhi has seen a lot of virtual modeling. As a game enthusiast, Yang Zhi will pay attention to almost every game conference.

But in Yang Zhi's impression, no promotional video for any game can achieve this effect in the video in front of him.

The smooth dance moves and silky smooth hair, as if every frame has the smell of burning money.

"As expected of Xingyuan! It's too awesome!"

After speaking, Yang Zhi decisively gave Sanlian no talk, and backhandedly gave Xiaoqi a concern.

Then Yang Zhi began to replay this two-minute short video, and he didn't even know how many barrages and comments were posted.

It wasn't until the delivery boy called, that Yang Zhi came back to his senses.

Xiaopozhan's video data mechanism is mainly judged by likes and coin-operated collections, but users often have the habit of accumulating coins, so they will not easily put coins when they are watching videos. (ps: Xiaopo Station Changed Collection \u003e Coin-operating was probably around 18 years later, and before 18 years, the proportion of coin-operating was relatively large.)

Unless they really like to feel shocked, few people will take the initiative to put coins into the video, and at most like it.

And this video of Xiaoqi relies on the quality, so the number of coins is more than the number of likes.

Not long after the release, the number of views exceeded 100,000.

Gao Meng immediately asked the staff of Xiaopo Station to make this video popular.

The staff immediately followed suit. After the video obtained such an exposure position, the video data rose rapidly like a rocket.

At this time, Luo Fan was lying in the small bedroom of his office, and it was his nap time.

"Xiao Qi, how's the playback volume of that video?" Luo Fan asked into his mobile phone.

"Mr. Luo Fan, the number of views of the video has exceeded one million, of which 200,000 views were distributed within the B station, and the rest of the data are real." Xiao Qi replied.

"Huh? The number of broadcasts is so fast that it has exceeded one million. What about the number of fans of Xiaoqi?"

"Currently there are 65,714 people, of which 15,000 are fake followers."

"It seems that beautiful and delicate avatars are really popular in Xiaopo Station!"

"According to the data analysis, it does."

"Well, Xiao Qi, you help me monitor the video data of Xiaopo Station in real time. If there is any problem, let me know as soon as possible."

"Okay, Mr. Rowan."

......

At the same time, at Penguin headquarters, Mr. Liu from the game department has clicked on Xiaoqi's video many times.

"This smooth motion capture, this hair, this modeling, it's amazing!"

"I will lick this leg first as a respect, and no one should rob me."

"Wife +1"

"Is it particle hair? It's really rare to make this kind of physical collision effect."

"With this kind of motion capture and animation effects, what exactly does Xingyuan want to do? Shouldn't it be a 3a masterpiece?"

"If it is Xingyuan's 3a masterpiece, it is worth looking forward to."

......

Mr. Liu's expression became serious after reading these barrages supporting Xingyuan's 3a masterpiece.

He then turned his attention to the video comment area. Almost all of the nearly 2,000 comments were compliments and surprises, and the few remaining were guessing the purpose of Xingyuan's image.

"One thing to say, I think Xingyuan is unlikely to be able to do animation. This level of 3D technology is absolutely wasteful for animation. It should be preparing for his own 3a big."

"Indeed, I think so too, but seriously, it would be great if Xingyuan could make a domestic animation. The domestic animation can have this effect, and the screen of my mobile phone can be licked to pieces by me."

"Fortunately, it was posted in the animation area. If the dance area only attracts gentlemen, no one cares about technology at all."

"Just post this video, do you dare to add more? I want to see how mature Xingyuan's technology is, and whether it can make a satisfying 3a masterpiece."

"I think too much upstairs. Even a video of this quality is far from the stars. It would be good to update one a week. Brothers can see it as a game trailer. It is conservatively estimated that it will be good to see the game within 5 years."

...

After reading the comments of netizens for a while, Mr. Liu's expression became more solemn.

Not to mention other things, this video of Xingyuan has successfully aroused the curiosity of users. If this video is really to promote the future 3a masterpiece, there is no doubt that Xingyuan has succeeded.

If he is a high-level executive of Xingyuan, he only needs to continue to expand the user's curiosity and radiate to more user groups. The game will have a large fan base before it is released.

What makes Mr. Liu even more nervous is that Xingyuan's video shows the technical power. With Mr. Liu's understanding of Penguin, I am afraid that it is difficult for Penguin's technology to reproduce this video.

"Damn! When did Xingyuan make such great progress in 3D modeling and motion capture? No! This matter must be known to President Ma quickly." After speaking, President Liu walked towards President Ma's office.

......

In the opinion of most "knowledgeable" netizens, even a big company like Xingyuan can produce one video of this quality a week.

What everyone didn't expect was that the update speed of Xiaoqi's video was really beyond imagination.

With the development of mobile Internet, more and more netizens have become night owls.

They both want to go to bed earlier, but they don't want to give up this entertainment time.

After all, the world of the Internet is really exciting. How many people can resist the temptation and are willing to put down their mobile phones and go to bed early!

Especially the netizens who follow Xiaoqi today feel that they can't sleep at all.

After they were used to watching the videos of the pigeon grandmothers who were updated every month or even every year, they experienced the joy of diarrhea-style update for the first time.

No one expected that, in the opinion of most netizens, the production cycle should be very long, and the video would be continuously updated as if it didn't need money.

If it is said that when the second and third videos are swiped, everyone is happy and excited, thinking that Xingyuan deliberately released inventory to attract fans.

But after watching the continuous updates, there were only two words left in everyone's heart.

"Fuck!"

More and more netizens gathered in the comment area to discuss, and there was no sleepiness at night.

"Is this a mistake in the account management operation? How did you send all the inventory?"

"Do Xingyuan's employees also make such low-level mistakes? Although I am very happy to see it, this guy is afraid that he will be punished, let alone half of the year-end bonus."

"I won't sleep today, but I want to see how many I can update."

"Fuck me, why do you care about other people's companies? Can you respect Xiaoqi a little and put your attention back on the video!"

"Indeed, the quality of these videos is too high, and the action costumes of the characters are different. There is no difference in quality compared with the first video. Xingyuan is really awesome!"

"As expected of an Internet company that is good at technology, this video doesn't leave Penguin Eight Streets?"

"Eight? One hundred!"

"Upstairs, I came to the point. I am a practitioner in this industry. I felt very strange from the first video. The quality and rendering effect of these videos have reached or even exceeded the level of foreign cinema blockbusters. What 3D animation software or engine are you using?"

...

Most of Xiaoqi's original fans were laymen, just to watch the fun.

To put it bluntly, it is Tu Yile, thinking about relaxing after work and study, at most verbally shout a few words to my wife.

But as more and more professionals saw this video, the wind direction gradually changed.

As the saying goes: the layman sees the fun, the expert sees the doorway.

In the eyes of industry insiders, Xiaoqi's video seems to have some special magic, completely hooking out their curiosity and desire to explore.

Such high-quality 3D video, they have been in the industry for so many years, they have never seen it before.

Don't say I've seen it, I've never heard of it.

For this reason, there are still many people in the industry who are crazy about the official Aitexingyuan in the video comment area, and want to get some high-quality clues from Xiaoqi from the official.

Even many professionals suspect that the video is reprinted from other places, because they feel that the domestic level simply cannot make such a fine video.

Unfortunately, they searched the entire network but did not find any relevant information about similar videos.

But some people still refused to give up, and they began to call on others to provide information online, and even offered bounties.

When it comes to money, the enthusiasm of more and more users has been mobilized. The investigation of Xiaoqi video has quickly become popular, and it has entered the hot search list of major platforms.

For a time, Post Bar, Zhihu, and Weibo were full of Xiaoqi related posts.

Its popularity remains at the top of the list.

With so much popularity, professionals from many industries have also come to rub off, and they have analyzed the video from various aspects.

Among the related articles published like bamboo shoots after rain, the post of an industry veteran named Virtual Cement Worker in Zhihu is the most popular, causing many people's discussions.

The old man is an authority in the domestic 3D modeling field, and he directly stated that the domestic technology can never achieve this level of video.

Or Xingyuan has reached a cooperation with some foreign companies, at least some companies that provide technical support for Hollywood blockbusters.

Either that's a problem with the software tools used for the video, most likely a brand new Unreal Engine engine.

The virtual cement worker's claim has been endorsed by many.

Of course, what they recognize is that Xingyuan has reached a cooperation with a large technology company in Hollywood.

The more people in the industry know, the more Xingyuan can make such a video, it is impossible to be the engine leader.

Not to mention other things, in the current engine licensing market environment, domestic companies will not develop their own engines at all, and make one loss.

Not to mention that an engine can surpass all the engines on the market, which is simply a fantasy.

Even an Internet giant like Xingyuan should not burn so much money.

Reason tells them that Xingyuan is unlikely to have a virtual engine that is far beyond the market.

But there are also many people who have planted the seeds of hope in their hearts. What if Xingyuan really does?

And the initiator who led people to think in this regard is of course Luo Fan.

To be precise, Luo Fan authorized Xiaoqi to guide people to discover the star engine.

Xiaoqi also did a perfect job. With the knowledge Xiaoqi has absorbed in the Internet, there is no doubt that she is a professional who can no longer be professional in the 3D modeling industry.

With the guidance of industry insiders like her, users will naturally be led to think in this direction.

In the end, the great god in the field of 3d modeling was successfully introduced to the possibility that everyone did not believe.

So far, Luo Fan's initial publicity has been achieved, and the follow-up is the official release.
