New Century Anime Warrior

Cultural Strategy, Phase One.

Code name: Who in the world doesn't know you?

"I will charge into this world with unparalleled might!"

As Qiu Yin listened to this brat's endless explanation of his plan, his eye twitched; his adolescent delusions had kicked in again.

sloppy.

They even want to record a short drama.

"Teacher Qiu, I've marked this spot. Remember to gently shake the camera when you get to this spot to create a sense of tension."

Si Hua directed Qiu Yin to familiarize himself with the camera movement routes, and then kept putting up markings on the ground.

This is the first step in all of SiHua's promotional activities: producing a series of diary-style short videos and then posting them on Weibo...

This is a plan to launch a surprise attack using experience gained twenty years later.

Why Weibo?

Currently, among social platforms that follow a simplified messaging approach, only Weibo has a large enough scale to barely support the short video strategy.

At present, Bilibili is basically only focused on long videos. Therefore, Bilibili's promotional method will be a pseudo-documentary, which will be released on Si Hua's own account, using a fast-paced editing style to show the entire creative process.

Si Hua plans to release the completed mecha designs, background concept art, and character designs for the male and female leads on Pixiv to attract international traffic.

Important note: This Pixiv is for sharing artwork, not some black and orange themed website about harmonious life.

We're all decent people!

These three lines correspond to other people's perspectives, subjective perspectives, and industry perspectives, and they are seemingly unrelated.

For example, Qiu Yin's diary should express an attitude of observing people, as if there is a strange classmate doing strange things. In the early and middle stages of the production of "Voices of a Distant Star", the observation diary is still an independent short story and cannot be openly related to "Voices of a Distant Star".

Si Hua's own videos on Bilibili will be a series of fixed shots emphasizing the creation of his works, which will then be edited into time-lapse videos to be shown to netizens.

Oh, and we also need to add a rough version of the Voices of a Distant Star theme song.

Later, they can also film a self-narration segment, saying that because the theme song clips are so good, they have attracted the attention of the professional music field, and he is very distressed about it, etc.

That's when Lin Lin's family's entertainment company can get involved.

When all the conditions are right, Si Hua will take the initiative to bring these clues together into one event, igniting public opinion!

Shocking! A genius high school student secluded himself for three months and independently produced a professional-grade animated PV!

Explosive! A 17-year-old high school student created a sci-fi masterpiece with zero budget; the exquisite art style even impressed the original illustrator!

High school students create industry-leading animation; let's look at the story behind its explosive popularity.

Has our art education failed to live up to the expectations of many "gifted children"?

"Looking at New Generation Creativity Through the Viral Sci-Fi Short Film 'Voices of a Distant Star': Anime and Manga Are Not Just Entertainment, But an Outlet for Young People's Expression"

"Starry Sky and Longing Through a Boy's Pen: A High School Student's Self-Made Animation, Continuing the Tale of the Starry Sky's Tenderness and Loneliness"

In short, the flavor must be strong! And classic!

Of course, all of these are still just castles in the air at the moment.

The most important thing now is to record the "High School Observation Diary" as soon as possible and prepare a reservoir of traffic in advance.

According to the plan, the observation diaries will mostly consist of videos that are ten seconds long and less than a minute long, so Si Hua intends to record enough material at once...

I brought several sets of clothes with me, including some autumn outfits, and took pictures of the seasonal changes.

As for why there are no winter clothes... Guangnan Province doesn't believe in its ability to enter winter.

But unexpected difficulties followed one after another. Si Hua and Qiu Yin spent the whole morning filming, but every time they saw the finished product, they silently deleted it.

It's not that Qiu Yin's shots were bad; Si Hua had already filmed a reference video beforehand, but Qiu Yin still managed to make a mess of it after filming, resulting in footage that lacked any technical skill and was entirely just a matter of luck...

How ethereal is it? If the scene weren't filled with bright sunlight, the shaky visuals, the dragging frames, and the bizarre perspective would make you think it was a remake of "The Blair Witch Project."

It's not that it can't be used, but it can't be this style for every episode.

I'm making silly short videos, not horror movies!

The two of them were extremely worried.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when Lin Lin, who had finished hosting the rehearsal, came to help, that the world of the two men was filled with light again.

It's fair to say that when it comes to mobile phone photography, women are indeed more authoritative than most men.

Lin Lin's talent is still increasing.

And so, the three of them filmed for three days straight, with Qiu Yin recording countless retakes of the narration, before they finally had enough video footage ready.

The remaining task is to release them one by one according to the plan.

For their first and foremost work, the team immediately decided to release the original video, which was also the only finished product shot by Qiu Yin.

-----------------

Weibo is a social media platform that has suddenly become incredibly popular in the last two years.

It's filled with all sorts of gossip, jokes, and the latest internet memes.

At that time, Weibo was still very young, more like a lively chat room for everyone, full of everyday life and novelty.

Xiao Mei, who just finished her middle school entrance exam, has recently become obsessed with Weibo because all her classmates have opened accounts on it.

Last month, we just created a class on the school's intranet, wrote memoirs and vowed to use this place as a base so that we would never forget each other... and this month, the students are already asking to follow each other on Weibo.

In the past two days, a video titled "High School Observation Diary" has been circulating on a small scale among middle school students.

The poster's ID is very provocative, called "The Dream of 30 Million Female High School Students," and he describes himself as a high school teacher.

Xiao Mei, a soon-to-be female student, also came across this video through a junior high school classmate's repost.

The reposts were filled with words like creepy, scary, and exciting, and the original post was titled "The Ghost of the Multimedia Classroom".

Then I have no choice but to watch it.

Xiao Mei immediately clicked on the video, and saw a title appear on the black screen: "My student seems to be writing love letters to aliens?"

It has all the elements of puppy love, science fiction, and suspense.

A male voice-over suddenly appears: "Tonight, that strange student is here again..."

Then the screen lit up, showing a video taken by a mobile phone. The lighting was dim, the angle was shaky, and the focus was constantly shifting, making it look particularly eerie.

The adult male voice rang out again: "He would just randomly turn on a computer, his hands clattering on the keyboard, typing away, I don't know what he was writing, and he kept talking to himself."

Next came the scene of a cell phone being secretly filmed inside the classroom. In the empty and gloomy multimedia classroom, a student had his back to the camera, and the monitor was flashing an eerie light.

A faint, youthful male voice echoed from the classroom: "Even if we are 8.7 light-years apart, my longing will reach you in the form of electromagnetic waves..."

Before the words were finished, the student suddenly turned around and looked in the direction of the phone's view.

However, with the phone directly facing the bright screen, the extreme contrast meant that only the high school student's silhouette could be captured, and his face was not clearly visible.

The phone owner was so frightened that he quickly put the phone back, followed by a violent shaking of the screen caused by the person filming running quickly.

Then came the words of an adult male voice, panting heavily.

"In all my years as a teacher, what kind of student love letters haven't I seen?"

"But I've never seen a love letter to aliens before!"

Then the screen went black, and the video ended.

Xiao Mei clenched her little fists, her face beaming with excitement. She seemed to be imagining all sorts of things, constantly whispering, "Ahhh, this brother is dating an alien!"

"The teacher found out!"

"Should we catch aliens dating too young?"

"That was so exciting!"

"What's next?"

"Why is there nothing below?"
