Chapter 292 Penguin Video Crashed!

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 these 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, this happens on web pages and TVs as well.

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.

That's why it's like this.

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 a wink.

A new entry.

It topped the trending search list.

"Penguin video collapsed..."

Countless netizens complained about the Penguin video below.

"It's so rubbish. I woke up just because of "Lu Dongbin: The Awakening", but 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 app 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 five 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.

All I can say is outrageous.

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

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

Just two 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 is 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 Master 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. I would have known I wouldn't watch it. One episode is updated every week. How will I survive the next few days..."

"..."

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

Although it is longer than a five-minute short drama like Peppa Pig.

But if you are absorbed in watching it, it will basically end in the blink of an eye.

After watching it, netizens have only one feeling.

That is not enough.

Really not enough.

Many netizens are regretting it.

Why did they join in the fun and watch the drama so early? The feeling of chasing the latest episodes is simply too painful.

At the same time, many up masters and film critics have already started to write film reviews and post videos as soon as possible, saying their own impressions after watching the drama.

"The picture is absolutely amazing, the characters in it are lifelike, and there is no feeling of stiffness in any action. The dubbing and music are obviously also carefully done. It is definitely a top work in the Chinese comics industry."

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

"The most handsome thing is the fighting level. The expressiveness and sense of attack are really too strong. It is comparable to the original Dragon Ball. The punches are so exciting that I sometimes wonder if Akira Toriyama has gone to Xingchen Academy to be a teacher."

"I am actually not very good at speaking. I am not very good at " The biggest opinion of the first episode of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is that it is awesome, really awesome, from beginning to end, especially the handsome protagonist, which makes me feel very involved! "

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

"I was worried that Xingchen Academy would not be able to produce original works, but now it seems that I was obviously overthinking. The original works of Xingchen students are already outrageously excellent!"

The big Vs and up masters who posted the dynamics at the first time basically all gave good reviews.

But there are also many criticisms.

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

There are many comments that adaptation is not random editing, and drama is not nonsense.

There are also many comments that say that the first episode of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" has no nutrition, no connotation, and is just a soap opera, which is awesome for the sake of awesomeness, and the protagonists are all pretending.

But no matter what.

The popularity of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" in China is beyond doubt.

The backstage staff of Penguin Video was so surprised when they saw that the number of views exceeded 100 million in just half an hour after the update was launched.

"Lü Dongbin: Awakening" completely broke the record of Penguin Video and even all domestic platforms.

For general TV series, if the number of views exceeds 10 million, it is a popular drama.

And if the number of views exceeds 100 million, it is definitely an unparalleled drama of the year.

Moreover, the number of views of these dramas is not obtained in one day, but basically accumulated slowly.

There are even many fake ones.

But "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is different. It has such a high number of views in just one hour of being online.

And there is absolutely no data fraud.

It really amazed them.

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

It will definitely create miracles.

And it is no longer just a dream for Xingchen Academy to create a series comparable to Marvel.

Because judging from the current results.

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

China can actually create a big universe series comparable to Marvel.

This made them, who were rooted in the film and television industry and understood the difficulties involved, feel deeply moved.

Xingchen Academy is really outrageous.

If someone said a few years ago that an academy could make the Chinese animation industry rise, no one would believe it.

But now, all this has really happened.

…

This day.

The entire network was basically flooded with "Lü Dongbin: Awakening".

Whether it was Moments, Weibo, or Douyin Station.

Discussions and praises about "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" could be seen everywhere.

Countless netizens became fans of this drama.

Even many people who didn't like to watch anime were attracted to it.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see it.

"Lü Dongbin: Awakening" is definitely the most popular anime this year, no doubt about it.

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

If "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" was a live-action TV series.

Then the popularity would only be even higher.

The next day.

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

The students of the entire production team were extremely excited.

The popularity of Xiaomao Zhouzhou before made them hold their breath.

They worked hard to create the most perfect work.

And now they finally got the results. The performance of "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" did not disappoint their expectations.

It even greatly 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 looked at the data report sent by the partner Penguin Video and couldn't help but smile.

Ye Chen didn't watch the premiere yesterday, but enjoyed a candlelight dinner with Lu Jing.

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

He even watched the foreign version.

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

It is not too surprising that "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" was so popular on the first day and received over 100 million views.

Because "Lü Dongbin: Awakening" has one biggest advantage.

That's cool...

In modern society, the pace of life is fast and the external social pressure is great.

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 not willing 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 100 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 single episode of 30 to 40 million views.

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 in the film.

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

And indeed it is.

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 80 million within 12 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!
