Chapter 258 A Million Dragonflies Stand on His Head
Among dozens of animated films produced in China, the one ranked first is none other than "Pigsy Eats Watermelon".
Among the hundreds of animated films from South Korea, Parasite ranks first.
However, these are separate lists from each country, so it's impossible to determine which is better. Only the overall list can truly compare their merits.
For example, the global click-through rate rankings.
Logically speaking, with nearly 1.5 billion people in China and over 1 billion netizens, even if only one-fifteenth of them watch Wan Lei's animated films, they could still make it onto the charts.
To the surprise of netizens worldwide, Wan Lei's work ranked lower than Teacher Jin's, despite the large number of Chinese netizens.
Currently, in the global viewership rankings, Jin Yong's "Parasite" ranks 30th, while Wan Lei's "Pigsy Eats Watermelon" ranks 35th.
At the World Forum.
"Even netizens in our own country don't support the works of their own people. The netizens in China have truly broadened my understanding."
"Although the number of clicks doesn't prove anything, it does show that netizens don't even have the desire to click on Chinese works."
"South Korea has reversed its rankings; this is going to be a major upset!"
"This time, we owe it all to our Indian netizens. Otherwise, how could South Korea, with its tiny population, possibly surpass China? Comparing populations with India is a foolish thing to do."
"..."
Faced with ridicule from netizens around the world, Chinese netizens have no way to express their grievances.
"Just looking at this cover, I have absolutely no desire to click on it!"
"I really can't understand how they could produce such a thing after ten years?"
"The more impressive their previous claims were, the more they've been proven wrong now."
"Come on, this is animation style from decades ago. We need to keep up with the times! At least make the colors brighter. This is black and white animation, isn't it?"
"No wonder no one clicks on it. After seeing this cover, I really have no interest in clicking on it. It thinks it's retro but forgets the most fundamental thing, which is the visual experience."
"..."
Many people are discussing it, but the majority of the comments are critical.
The huge discrepancy was unacceptable to many netizens.
After all, we've been looking forward to this for so long, and who knew that this would be the final product?
Regardless of the depth of the content, other countries certainly excel in showcasing their technical skills.
But in my own country, let alone showing off skills, I don't even have the most basic colors.
A black and white animated film!
This is a black-and-white animated film, an animated film that was phased out decades ago!
Black and white animated films have long been phased out because they are no longer in line with the times!
I never expected it to happen now, I never expected it to happen in China, and I never expected it to be created by Teacher Wan Lei.
disappointment.
I'm utterly disappointed.
I don't want to watch it at all.
I don't even have the interest to click on it.
Not to mention those indifferent netizens who have such thoughts, even those netizens who previously supported Wan Lei think it's too absurd.
"I only regret that I don't have the production quality, otherwise I would have made an animated film at least."
"Even a novice with two or three years of training couldn't make such a terrible animated film."
"I've really let down the expectations of the people of China. Forget it, I'll just watch foreign animated films instead, to avoid having a heart attack."
"..."
Within the animation group.
"I think this movie is quite interesting, I don't know why so many people are criticizing it," Xiao Guang chimed in.
In response, Xiaowen simply asked a very simple question: "If you didn't know that this animated film was produced by Wan Lei, would you still have clicked to watch it?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Guang fell silent, because he remembered that he had been introduced to the app by Teacher Wan Lei.
So he was speechless at that moment. The other party was not wrong. If it weren't for Teacher Wan Lei, he might not have clicked on it.
At this moment, Xiaoli spoke up, "Without Teacher Wan Lei's fame, I estimate very few people would click on this."
Xiaoqing agreed, "Yeah, who watches black and white animated films these days? Besides, I watched the short film, and the production quality wasn't great either. Without comparison, there's no way to appreciate the difference; the gap is just too obvious."
"Maybe it'll get interesting when the whole story comes out?" Xiao Guang guessed.
"But we might not even pass the preliminary rounds," Xiaowen said uncertainly.
Xiao Guang fell silent. For Teacher Wan Lei, failing to even pass the preliminary round meant little meaning.
"I just don't understand what Teacher Wan Lei is thinking. Other teachers should definitely not follow his example..."
At the same time.
Shortly after Wan Lei published his work, he received a phone call from Teacher Gu Han.
"No, Wan Lei, you really uploaded this animation?"
"Didn't you see the result?"
"But not everyone will like it, and you should know that many people are criticizing you right now."
"Let them scold us. It's like moths to a flame. Some things just have to be done."
"You could add some color to the animation, there's no need to be so stubborn."
"Have you ever seen a colorful shadow puppet? That's its most primitive and purest form. Besides, aren't most of your puppets black and white?"
"I……"
"Stop talking, just let me be willful this once. Our country's culture is no less than that of any other country!"
"Well... alright, since you've already chosen to upload, I'll upload mine as soon as possible. But aren't you worried about not even making it into the preliminary rounds?"
