Chapter 257 A Budding Talent Just Begins to Emerge
Five minutes before the start of the match.
It has attracted worldwide attention.
Never before has a match garnered so much attention from netizens.
One by one, they waited anxiously on the competition website.
The absence of any published works did not dampen their enthusiasm.
"What makes this competition different from previous ones is its large scale, with many judges invited to participate in the judging."
"Besides, there will definitely be a lot of entries, but that's okay. It's said that a thousand entries will be able to enter the preliminary round."
"There used to be only 800 copies, but we increased it to 1,000 copies for the centennial celebration."
"There were probably tens of thousands of entries, but only a thousand were selected. It seems quite brutal."
"That's why it takes a long time, but for an excellent work, I feel that a longer time is not a problem."
"Can a short film of only five minutes really showcase the charm of an animated movie?"
"Five minutes is enough. It's enough to show the complete storyline, enough to show the techniques of animated films, and enough to show the art of animated films."
"Even if it's not enough, it's okay. We've added a revival round this time. As long as your overall stats are high, you can be revived again."
"Actually, the quality of the films in the preliminary round was quite good. I used to watch all the films from the beginning to the end."
"Those animated films in the finals are top-notch not only in terms of production techniques, but also in terms of story content and other aspects. They are incomparable to the films in the preliminary rounds."
"What's the rush? Those masters' works aren't uploaded in such a hurry. The preliminary round lasts for three whole months, there's plenty of time."
"..."
At this moment, netizens were discussing the topic in unison, seemingly without boundaries, all eagerly anticipating what was to come.
Soon, as time passed, the competition finally arrived, and the previously blank page suddenly displayed the entries.
The entries at the very beginning of the competition are the most terrifying, because many unknown authors will upload their works immediately.
Leveraging massive traffic to attract attention could very well give a work a chance to defy fate.
After all, there are so many netizens paying attention to the website right now, hundreds of millions of netizens are watching. If they can attract the attention of even one tenth of them, their work may enter the preliminary round.
It's worth mentioning that the preliminary selection rules are not complicated; they are based on a comprehensive reference.
The evaluation mainly considers two aspects: the ratings from netizens and the ratings from the judges.
The former accounts for 50%, the latter accounts for 50%, and when the final combined score is released, the preliminary round will begin.
As for the preliminary rounds leading up to the finals, there will be different judging criteria.
That's why so many people choose to upload their work as soon as possible. As long as the work gets enough exposure, it will definitely attract people, which will be the key to advancing to the preliminary round for some.
Of course, this excludes those masters; their works are inherently attractive, drawing many fans who come from far and wide.
It refreshes every second, and new data appears every second.
In just ten seconds, the number of works reached over a thousand.
Before netizens could even react, they found themselves submerged in a sea of works, unable to extricate themselves.
"This is insane! Every time you open a new world, it's like entering a whole new world."
"There have been nearly three thousand animated films, and it hasn't even been a minute yet."
"I can't take it anymore, my eyes need a rest, they're getting blurry."
"..."
There were so many that it was dazzling.
Viewers who were initially watching exited the page, intending to wait until the number of works stabilized before watching again.
"Since there won't be any masterpieces at the beginning anyway, we might as well wait a while before seeing them."
Many people think this way, not because they don't want to watch, but because they can't watch them all.
One minute passed, and the number of works exceeded five thousand, a record high, which is terrifying.
"In previous years, the highest number of movies was only 4,000 in half an hour, but this time it was 5,000 in one minute. The difference is too big."
"The centennial celebration is still more famous, and many people plan to stand out at this time."
Is this one of the most rapidly changing lists?
"The number one ranked work doesn't seem to be from Japan or Disney, but from India. I was quite surprised."
"Really? What movie is so amazing!"
"I'm dying of laughter. This Indian netizen is absolutely outrageous. Other entries only have a five-minute trailer, but this one has a five-minute full video."
"Pfft... No wonder so many people are watching, this is supposed to be funny."
"Although the number of viewers is high, the rating is very low. It can only be said that he is just here to join in the fun."
"I doubt any other work will surpass its viewership in the short term; it's absolutely hilarious."
"..."
Half an hour later, the number of works added to the database finally stabilized.
Only then did netizens flock to the website and begin their sweeping browsing.
Five minutes is neither a long nor a short time. For seasoned animation film enthusiasts, it's easy to discern the framework of an animated film and determine its quality.
Xiao Guang and his three companions were also browsing the website, but as they looked around, his expression gradually became serious.
"I don't know if you guys have noticed, but there aren't any entries from China among these submissions," Xiao Guang said in the group chat.
"I found it." The heavy topic quickly drew a reply from Xiaowen.
"Yes, there are some, but not many," Xiaoqing posted a screenshot.
