NOVEL NEXT Chapter 7: The out-of-the-box short video that went viral!
Because the system followed the advisor's instructions, the short film was posted on almost all promotional platforms: Witter, Bilibili, Penguin Network, etc. The film's popularity was rapidly climbing on every platform.
On Witter...
The "Space Comedy" released under the MiHoYo account had already received hundreds of thousands of likes, and the comments were skyrocketing.
"Wow! Which brave soul created such a huge sensation?"
"Such strong quality! The most anticipated promotional video I've seen in two years."
"Oh my god! The characters are so unique! Completely different from the usual TV dramas!"
"All handsome men and beautiful women! The costumes are so distinctive, and the soundtrack is also great!"
"Xianzhou Luofu? Sounds like a fictional world, but are the buildings in the latter part real? It's so spectacular!"
"Are you kidding? This is clearly created with special effects, how could it be built in the sky!"
"What? Special effects? Is this real?"
"Feels like a scam, since the trailer is too perfect, maybe they spent a fortune on effects to deceive investors!"
A large number of comments expressed intense anticipation and shock. It was so unique!
This was something the advisor hadn't even anticipated. After all, this world doesn't have another Honkai game or a real "MiHoYo."
Firstly, what was most attractive was the intense color and costume impact brought by transitioning from a second game to the third dimension. Because no matter which country's TV dramas you watch, they are based on reality, and it's hard to have something exceptionally imaginative, whether it's costumes or scenes. Even some sci-fi series, due to cost limitations, can't achieve the kind of scene presentation that the advisor did with pure special effects.
Secondly, the character designs by "MiHoYo" are outstanding. Since it involves revenue, each character provides a strong aesthetic impact. From their appearance, you can see the character's personality. This is something that could not be reflected in previous films and television works and will be difficult to replicate in the future.
The actors in the short film were not actors but real people! With costumes and makeup improved by the system, they were truly comic book characters!
So when the audience saw the short film for the first time, they were stunned. A large part of the reason was the impact of transitioning from the second to the third dimension. Some visual effects that could only be seen in the second game were perfectly interpreted by the advisor.
On Bilibili, the comments were even more enthusiastic:
"Wow! Blade is so handsome! I was thoroughly impressed by him!"
"I'm different, I want to be super impressed by Blade, my little wife (sweating and feverish expression)"
"Kafka is so cool! Sister, whip me hard!"
"Bold words! I also want beautiful pictures of Jing Yuan!"
"March 7th is so energetic, and Herta is too cute!"
"Looking forward, looking forward, looking forward!"
In the comments section, a long review received high praise:
"I haven't seen such an astonishing design in years!"
"In the film and television industry, where everything is stagnant and mindlessly imitates so-called 'industrialized' filming, the results are not only unoriginal but as long-winded and stinky as an old woman's foot-binding cloth!"
"Suddenly, a short film appeared that immediately captured my attention."
"Whether it's a promotional scam or not, I've decided to become a passionate supporter and point out the notable aspects!"
"Firstly, the characters! My god! Who understands, the Gothic Lolita style on Herta!"
"Also, Kafka's bold purple outfit! Purple stockings and purple high-heeled leather boots! Even my female eyes are dazzled!"
"To know, in film and television, if a person wears a lot of purple, then they will definitely become a fashion disaster!"
"But this short film perfectly shows the danger and charm of purple!"
"Finally, the highlight!"
"Characters on the Xianzhou Luofu!"
"Qingque, Fu Xuan, and Tingyun!"
"Three completely different colors appear in the same frame, yet they are so harmonious!"
"Traditional symbol design and modern design are integrated, combined with makeup and accessories, when I saw them, I immediately thought of each person's story!"
"When I saw Blade, I thought of many things, like our wedding and what we should name our children."
"When I was about to become a passionate fan of Blade, I saw Jing Yuan."
"Here, I sincerely apologize to Blade. Sorry for deceiving your feelings, but it doesn't matter, as long as we live well, that's what's important!"
