Chapter 272 Walking at the forefront of the times, with no one to stand shoulder to shoulder with him
Amidst the spotlight.
Dao has released his work.
It seems that every time Dao releases a new work, it's because his previous work has been dethroned from the top spot.
This time was no exception.
Shortly after Miya reached the top of the charts, Miya released his fifth work.
Compared to searching for Gong's works, Dao's works are much easier to find on various lists in China.
Upon learning the news, Xiao Guang and his three companions immediately went to the list and found Dao's work.
"The name of this work is 'Lotus Lantern,' which is another traditional Chinese myth. It seems they've gotten bogged down in traditional mythology."
"I don't know if you've noticed, but although we are very familiar with traditional Chinese mythology, almost no one makes separate animated films for these mythological figures," Xiaowen said.
"Now that you mention it, Dao seems to have made a good start. Does that mean that Chinese animation is going to become popular following Dao's creative model?" Xiao Qing said.
"Hey, what time is it? Why are you still discussing this? Dozens of groups are waiting for us to announce our move," Xiaoli urged the group.
The four were considered loyal fans of Dao. In order to help Dao rise in the rankings as quickly as possible, they formed dozens of groups.
They've been releasing their work for almost a minute now, and they still have the mind to discuss future animated film creation models.
"I believe other creators are also aware of this issue, but for now, let's hurry up and support Dao's new work."
Xiao Guang's words brought the discussion to an abrupt halt.
It wasn't just Xiao Guang and his friends who were so anxious; almost half of the netizens in China were also very anxious.
Especially when they find out that a work has been published, everyone rushes to the official website to support it.
Unfortunately, unlike the palace, which has fans from all over the world, the Dao's fans are mainly concentrated in the Asian continent.
Now that the palace has made its move, it has captured almost all the fans from across Asia.
If Chinese netizens still don't support Dao at this point, even if Dao's works have extraordinary abilities, they might not be a match for Gong.
It would have been better if they hadn't spoken up, but now that they have, they have no reason to stand idly by.
Moreover, they also hoped that Dao could defeat Gong, so that the world would see that China was not without good animated filmmakers, nor without masters like Gong.
With this belief, tens of thousands of Chinese netizens flocked to show their support.
Dao's ranking is rising rapidly, almost like a rocket, and is not inferior to Gong's previous ranking.
This is destined to be a top-level competition, and countless netizens around the world are paying attention to it.
Compared to the mindless netizens in China, netizens from other countries, upon seeing Dao's published works, will not offer support out of helplessness, but will instead assess the quality before deciding whether to support him or not.
At the world forum, the situation is constantly changing.
One second the focus of the discussion was the palace, the next second the focus has shifted to the Dao.
Regardless of the years, it all comes down to who's currently more popular. Right now, it's clear that Dao is the most popular.
Previously, the most discussed topic was when Dao would release his work, but now the most discussed topic is Dao's latest work.
There were both praises and criticisms.
"Strange, I don't feel any sense of incongruity at all looking at Dao's work."
A Western netizen posted their review after reading Dao's work.
"There is no sense of incongruity because Dao has once again innovated in his work. If I am not mistaken, Dao's work this time contains the style of Disney."
"Disney style? Does this mean Disney's style has been incorporated into this work?"
"Wow, the Dao is amazing! It can even fuse with these. No wonder it looks pretty good."
"Miya's works also incorporate some Disney style, but it is obviously not as much as Dao's. I don't know why, but I feel that Dao's works are too deliberately influenced by the style."
"This is the difference between a master and a clown. The fusion of the Dao is obviously not as powerful as the fusion of the body, but to be able to fuse to this extent, the strength of the Dao is truly strong."
"I just don't know whether Dao or Gong will be the final victor."
"In any case, as someone who grew up watching Disney animated films, I am more able to accept this work by Dao."
"..."
If the debates on the World Forum were still minor squabbles, then on the China Forum, a massive upheaval was brewing.
No one expected that Tao would betray the traditional culture of the Celestial Empire.
In an instant, some netizens who watched the short video felt dissatisfied.
"Does Chinese culture need to incorporate Disney's style? Isn't that putting the cart before the horse?"
"At first I was really looking forward to it, but when I found out that it was supposed to be a work combining Chinese and Western elements, it felt like a hodgepodge."
"Our Chinese culture has always been number one in the world. No matter how amazing Disney is, can it compare to our culture?"
"With this change in style, I almost doubted whether the person who created this work was even a Taoist, and why they would make such a disgusting animated film."
"I was originally planning to promote it more and give Dao's works some credit, but now it seems I should give up. I'm not a fan of Disney animated films."
"What I didn't expect was that even the palace only dared to integrate a little bit, so how did Dao manage to integrate so much?"
Dao did not respond to these accusations from netizens, but many of Dao's supporters did.
"No, it just incorporates Disney's style. Do you have to go to such lengths? This is called keeping up with the times and being relevant. What's wrong with that?"
