At night.
At Zhang Ye's Studio.
Sun Xiaobei was crying.
Chen Xiang was crying.
Hu Kebang was also crying.
They hugged each other excitedly, sometimes laughing, sometimes screaming, and sometimes crying. They did not know how to vent the excitement in their hearts!
"We did it!"
"We did it!"
"We've won against the Japanese cartoons! We've won for the first time! "
"How many years have we waited for this!"
"Director Zhang, you're amazing! You're really amazing! "
"We've finally done it!"
"Ahhhh! What do we do! I'm so excited that I'm going crazy! "
"I-Is this really our result?"
"It's true! Of course it's true! "
Seeing how happy they were, the eyes of the people from Zhang Ye's Studio also felt a little hot. They were not people from this industry, so they actually did not know anything about domestic cartoons or cartoons. It was only because Director Zhang had a spark in his head that they decided to dive into this industry. To be honest, they did not have deep feelings for the Chinese cartoon industry. But after these days of interaction and understanding, Ha Qiqi, Zhang Zuo, and the others were very impressed by Sun Xiaobei and her group of Chinese cartoon artists. They were impressed by their persistence and dedication. They really wanted to make the Chinese cartoon industry look good. There were too few young people like them.
Giving.
Working hard.
Tempering.
Waiting.
Now, the day had finally arrived.
They should be happy. This glory belonged to them.
Sun Xiaobei went up to hug Zhang Ye. "Director Zhang, thank you!"
Hu Kebang and the others also came up to hug Zhang Ye, shouting and laughing.
Sun Xiaobei wiped away her tears and said, "Keep it down, everyone. The neighbors are all asleep, so don't give Teacher Zhang any trouble."
Zhang Ye smiled and said, "It's fine. Today is a proud day for us Chinese cartoon artists, so it's only right for us to be happy."
You call yourself Chinese cartoon artists?
Can you not flatter yourself?
The people from Zhang Ye's Studio rolled their eyes.
Sun Xiaobei and the others are the standard Chinese cartoon artists, but you're not. You just canceled seven comics recently and stopped drawing in Japan, then came back to China to make an animation. What kind of Chinese cartoon artist are you? You're just changing places with every shot you take. You're just acting on a whim, alright?!
Zhang Ye said, "Are you all hungry? Let's go, I'll treat everyone to supper! "
"Thank you, Lord Zhang!"
"Wow, time to eat!"
Everyone went to celebrate.
Indeed, it was time to celebrate.
The "results" for the day were out. The viewership for the premiere episode of The Legend of Qin finally stopped at 130 million views. This was a number that scared the living daylights out of everyone. Not only did it break the best viewership in the history of domestic animation, it was even comparable to the viewership of the most outstanding variety shows and television dramas in the industry. Moreover, this was only the first episode, and it was only the premiere episode!
Two of the most popular domestic TV series and a variety show had been affected. The number of online views had dropped by more than 20% compared to usual, which made the producers and production units tremble in fear. At the same time, they didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The number of views for the TV series and variety show had actually been shared?
Since when did local cartoons have such power!
Since when could domestic animations compete with TV series and variety shows?
…
Japan.
Several companies held meetings overnight.
"Martial King has been greatly affected!"
"It's the same for our Murder of Angels. The views have dropped by a lot!"
"The Legend of Qin has taken all the credit!"
"What's going on with this cartoon!"
"Who knew that such an animation would suddenly appear in the slumping China's animation industry!"
"Hai, this Zhang Ye has messed up our plans!"
"But this is only the first episode. Because Zhang Ye is too famous and they have a lot of budget to promote it, it's normal for the first episode to have a higher viewership. The later episodes definitely won't continue like this. If they all get over 100 million views, then what's the point of continuing? It's impossible to sustain this!"
"That makes sense!"
"Right, we can't panic."
However, what the Japanese animation world was looking forward to did not happen!
…
The next day.
The second episode of The Legend of Qin was broadcast.
"Wow!"
"Is it going to be a continuous broadcast?"
"An episode a day? That's so fun! "
"It's so good! The second episode is good too! "
"Hahahaha! Yao Jiancai's voice is out! "
"Old Yao's voice is so funny!"
"I can tell that it's him the moment I hear it!"
"Wonderful!"
On the same day. The views for the second episode were released!
140 million!
It was even higher than the views for the first episode!
…
The third day.
The Legend of Qin was updated once again!
"Another episode!"
"Awesome, awesome, awesome!"
"This dubbing lineup is too ruthless!"
"Yeah, who in the entire industry can afford to hire so many A-list and super-A-list big shots!"
"It's so good. The more I watch it, the more addicted I get!"
"The plot is so coherent!"
"Right, the graphics are still as beautiful as ever. I can't get tired of watching it!"
"I've already watched it three times!"
"I'm so proud of our domestic cartoons!"
"Zhang Ye, well done! Miracle Animation Studios, well done! "
On this day, the statistics for the third episode were released!
It was 150 million!
Meanwhile, the single episode views for the first episode of The Legend of Qin had already broken the 200 million mark!
…
Martial King kneeled!
Murder of Angels kneeled!
All of the Japanese animation companies that came to the China market to fight for more money were kneeling!
When several Japanese animation companies saw this result, they broke down!
"Motherfucker!"
"What's there left to play?"
"It's stabilized at over 100 million? This Zhang fellow is on steroids! "
"How can it be so high!"
"This is clearly Zhang Ye's first time making an animation!"
"The Legend of Qin? Isn't that already a national-level cartoon? "
"China's cartoon industry is so backward, yet it can still produce a national-level cartoon?"
Despair!
They were really feeling a sense of despair!
If the other party's viewership was in the tens of millions, they might still be able to catch up. Perhaps they could even take some remedial measures and fight it out. But this was over 100 million! It was 200 million! How the fuck were they supposed to fight it out? They couldn't catch up even if they used all their might!
They had lost!
They had really lost so badly!
They had really rushed into the China cartoon industry in high spirits this time, only to be slapped back in the face by the other party!
At this moment, some people started reminiscing about One Piece, Naruto, and Detective Conan. If those cartoons were still around, how could they have ended up in such a state? They should at least be able to compete with the other party, right? Perhaps they could even win? But then they suddenly remembered that those cartoons were also drawn by Zhang Ye. For a moment, they felt even more despair. In just a few short months, eight phenomenal cartoons had appeared in Asia, seven in Japan, and one in China. And all of these cartoons were actually drawn by the same fucking person?
What a terrifying thing this was!
