Entertainment to the death, make a tokusatsu film that will crush the entire internet.

Dragon Realm Sky.

Tencent Video's highly anticipated year-end blockbuster, its first fully self-produced 3D fantasy animation, has officially announced its release date.

As another major move by a domestic entertainment giant in the animation field, the promotional campaign for this work is unprecedented.

Subway stations, bus bodies, giant LED screens in shopping malls, and splash screens on major apps have all failed...

Online and offline, a full-scale online blitz.

On the day the final trailer was released, it garnered over 10 million views within an hour and was shared over 500,000 times.

The comments section was filled with amazement.

"Holy crap! This modeling! This cloth rendering! This fur rendering! Tencent has really pulled out all the stops in game development!"

"Movie-quality special effects! The particle effects during sword flight are absolutely stunning! The sect battle scenes are just incredible, the budget was practically burning!"

"With the female lead's aloof and ethereal beauty in the character design, it wouldn't be too much of an overstatement for me to call her my wife, would it?"

"The male lead's face and his aura are absolutely top-tier for ancient-style male leads! Mom, I'm in love!"

"Wa's junior classmate has appeared!"

"It has to be said that in the field of 3D technology, Penguin Video, backed by Penguin Games, is indeed a game-changer."

"This is the kind of presence a major studio should have! I support it! I've pre-ordered the entire series!"

"Speaking of which, the Land of Light seems to have been quiet all this time? Could it be that they've seen this spectacle and gotten scared?"

……

Tencent Video Headquarters, Animation Division.

Looking at the rapidly increasing reservation data and the overwhelmingly positive public opinion, the wisteria flower's tense nerves finally relaxed a little.

But she didn't pop champagne at halftime like Wu Dashan did.

The lessons learned from the past are still fresh in our minds.

"Operations team, continue to increase promotion efforts to cover all vertical communities and interest groups."

"Notify the top voice actors we're collaborating with, and ask them to cooperate by releasing character voice lines and recording reaction videos on their personal Weibo accounts."

"In addition, the lucky draw event has been upgraded."

She paused.

"Users who purchase the complete series of 'Dragon Domain Sky' will not only have the chance to win a Tencent Video annual membership, but will also receive one hundred autographed art books from the main creative team and ten tickets to an offline voice actor meet-and-greeting event."

"I want to make the show's popularity on the day of its premiere reach the peak of the year."

This time, Tencent Video has gone all out in terms of production costs, technical capabilities, and promotional resources.

In the realm of tokusatsu (special effects) films, the Land of Light reigns supreme.

2D animation was defeated by both "Hikaru no Go" and "Cardcaptor Sakura".

So, what about in the 3D field, where Penguin excels?

"Ah Guang, what else can you bring out this time?"

……

Starlight Video Editing Department.

Looking at the terrifying data and almost unanimous positive reviews of "Dragon Domain Sky", Da Mi's palms were sweating.

After much hesitation, he finally dialed Yang Qian's number.

"Everbright Penguin is really aggressive this time. Have you seen the trailer for 'Dragon Domain Sky'? The modeling and special effects are absolutely movie-level."

"I've seen it, it's very well done."

There was a hint of appreciation in Yang Qian's voice.

"Especially the special effects when the sect's grand formation is activated; the lighting and particle dynamics are very impressive."

Da Mi was taken aback: "Aren't you worried?"

"What are you worried about?"

Yang Qian countered with a question.

"It's a good thing that excellent works are appearing in the market."

"Isn't it exactly what we industry professionals hope to see when audiences can enjoy two high-quality 3D animated films at the same time?"

"But they're clearly here to ambush the Land of Light."

"Moreover, this time they went all in, with virtually no weaknesses in technology or marketing."

"Our 'Lolo's Adventures' is also good, but in terms of modeling precision and rendering quality, it might be..."

"Perhaps not as extravagantly as they are at burning through money?"

Yang Qian smiled.

"Rice, do you think the appeal of animation lies solely in piling up polygons and flashy special effects?"

Rice was speechless.

"Dragon Realm Sky is indeed very beautiful, but..."

Yang Qian paused.

"The core of animation is always the story, the characters, and the emotions that resonate with the audience."

"Penguin has staked everything on its technology demonstration this time, which is very Penguin-like."

"But sometimes, pursuing superficial perfection can lead to losing one's soul."

He spoke calmly.

"Lolo's Adventures" is scheduled for release on the same day as theirs.

"If we're going to fight, let's fight fair and square, a head-on sniper duel at the middle gate."

Listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, Da Mi suddenly felt that her worries were somewhat unnecessary.

Yes.

The person in front of me is Ah Guang, who has repeatedly turned the impossible into the possible.

"OK!"

Da Mi gritted his teeth.

"I've secured S+ level promotional resources for you! Starlight Video will provide full cooperation from the Kingdom of Light!"

"By the way, regarding pricing..."

He asked the question habitually, and then laughed at himself.

"Never mind, I won't ask anymore."

Yang Qian smiled too.

"52 episodes, priced at 0.25 yuan per episode, the first three episodes are free, and the entire series is 20% off for pre-orders, priced at 9.8 yuan after the discount."

Rice: "9.8 yuan. I remember that the whole series of Ultraman Tiga was also 9.8 yuan back then."

"It's all about small profits but quick turnover. Besides, making it affordable and accessible for more children is more important than earning a few extra dollars."

After hanging up the phone, Da Mi looked at the trailer poster for "Dragon Realm" on the screen, and then at the pilot episode file for "Lolo's Adventure" that had just been uploaded to the backend.

The slight unease in my heart inexplicably dissipated.

Fantasy vs. mecha...

This is interesting.

……

The next day at noon.

On the homepage of Starlight Video, the opening screen's logo changes on time.

The pilot episode of "Lolo's Adventures" is here!

The Land of Light's production of "Lolo's Adventure" retains the original work's delicate emotions and plot descriptions.

The modeling and special effects are a second upgrade based on its remastered version, "Wu Zhan Dao".

This is thanks to advanced AI technology.

Unlike the ethereal and magical effects of "Dragon Realm Sky".

The battles in "Lolo's Adventure" are full of hardcore mechanical aesthetics and the realistic feeling of power clashing.

The camera angles switch rapidly.

Lolo sat in the cockpit of the Thunderbolt, nervously taking control;

The Motorbike Tribe and the Beast Tribe clashed in a large-scale battle in front of the Thunder Palace;

His ultimate move, "Thunderous Crescent Slash," ripped through the sky.

Finally, the scene freezes on Lolo holding up the controller, with the motorcycle warriors lined up behind him, and the burning sunset and steel city in the background.

The slogan appeared: 【Your mech, your control!】

The pilot episode has ended.

The comments section exploded instantly!

"Holy crap!!! The Land of Light is actually making a 3D anime! And it's mecha! Transformation! My childhood dream!"

"That transformation effect! So smooth and fluid! It gave me goosebumps!"

"While the modeling precision might be slightly inferior to 'Dragon Realm,' the mecha design and the impact of the combat are just too cool! It's pure manly romance!"

"Motorcycle tribe! Beast tribe! This setting is something else! It's not just mindless fighting; it seems like there are factions and strategies involved?"

"Guangda never disappoints! Mecha is every man's ultimate dream! Fantasy martial arts can take a backseat!"

……

New topics are rapidly climbing the Weibo trending list.

#Land of Light's Gate Showdown with Penguin Video#

#Fantasy/Martial Arts VS Mecha, which would you choose?#

#Lolo's Adventure Transformation Effects#

Among these trending topics, one stands out with its unique style.

Just as the entire internet was abuzz with discussions about the head-to-head showdown between "Lolo's Adventure" and "Dragon Domain Sky,"

An item was listed on a well-known domestic second-hand trading platform.
