Started as a comics editor

Chapter 138 A bolt from the blue
"Hehehe... so cute."

late at night.

Liu Shiwei watched the videos shared by others on social media, and smiled foolishly at the lively two-dimensional beautiful girls in the videos.

I think it’s very interesting!
In the video, Toosaka Rin's image is lively and natural, with a frown on her face when drawing a card, a disgusted expression when she sees something she doesn't like, and even the facial expressions revealed due to operational errors... Every moment makes him want to take screenshots and save them.

Most importantly, the sound is great!

The personality is also great.

For Liu Shiwei.

This format is so novel! It feels completely different from a live broadcast!
Even if the other person was playing a game he was not familiar with, he would watch with great interest.

Watching a beautiful 2D girl play games and react in all sorts of ways is surprisingly entertaining!

And although I don’t know what game she plays, the two-dimensional beautiful girl on the card pattern is also very beautiful!
Liu Shiwei is not a core user of the two-dimensional world. Usually, he just reads comics and follows one or two popular TV series.

So he has never come into contact with FGO and doesn't know about "Fate Zero".

But that doesn't stop him from liking this form of expression.

soon.

The video has finished playing.

"ANF? Rin Tousaka?"

Liu Shiwei was still not satisfied and couldn't help but look at the video information, and then jumped to the ANF website where the video was released.

Then, he looked at the homepage, which was completely different from other mainstream video websites, and felt a little curious.

He thought about it, registered an account, and then opened other videos on the site to watch.

What about home dance, MAD of popular anime, ghost animal...

"Hahaha!"

I finished watching a ghost video again.

Liu Shiwei gave it a thumbs up and laughed happily: "What the hell is this! But it's quite interesting!"

He thought about it while continuing to watch the next video.

Then he discovered that this website was a true treasure! It was completely different from those mainstream video websites out there! Not only was there no ads, but it was also filled with videos that were truly unconventional and interesting!
And when the video is playing, the comments are very interesting, and it feels like watching it with many people.

and many more.

Liu Shiwei thought of something and searched for Toosaka Rin, and then quickly found the video he had just watched.

Sure enough, unlike videos reposted from outside, videos on the site all have barrages.

He continued reading along with the comments, and felt differently.

Watching the various memes and complaints in the barrage.

Liu Shiwei was so happy that he followed Toosaka Rin. Then he read the comments for a while and found that many people were newcomers like him who were attracted by the video and were asking whether this character would appear in other games in the future.

They all have different preferences for games.

But everyone thinks it would be fun to let this virtual anchor play their favorite games!
And under these comments, many enthusiastic old users explained what this Toosaka Rin is all about.

then……

Game character? FGO? New version?

After seeing these explanations, Liu Shiwei was curious and noticed the game promotion information below the video, so he clicked on the official website of the game.

Next, click the Download Game button.

Anyway, I have nothing to do... I might as well download it and give it a try.

And this scene is constantly being played out all over the country.

After all, most of the people attracted here are young people who have a strong ability to accept new things and are willing to accept them.

In fact...it is likely that they are the only ones interested in virtual anchors.

Even if a middle-aged person came, they might not be able to watch it. After all, most of them are more interested in the real female anchor...

However, what Tang Yao wanted to attract from the beginning was the young group.

And just as she expected.

ANF ​​has a unique community atmosphere, barrage culture, and UGC content.

These have become points to attract young users.

Most of these users are fans of the second dimension. Their arrival, due to the overwhelming game promotion on the site, has further brought more new players to the game.

After all, the first videos these people watched were videos of Rin Toosaka playing games.

Because of the game video of Rin Toosaka, I was attracted by its novel mode and then came to ANF. Because of the unique community atmosphere of ANF, I registered an account and downloaded the game at the same time.

This path was exceptionally smooth.

And it's predictable.

immediately.

With the launch of the new version of the game, some secondary creations are also about to appear...

You don’t even have to wait for the second creation to appear.

New users have already started to make an effort.

Related discussions can be seen on many platforms that have little to do with the two-dimensional world.

"ANF, the videos on this video site are so interesting!"

"That's quite an idea... They're actually letting 2D characters play games, and they're actually so entertaining. Why don't other video sites have something similar?! Stop dwelling on those B-movie ads! Look at others!"

"Actually, the game that virtual streamer plays is pretty interesting too! The illustrations are awesome!"

“Are mobile games so popular now?”

"Playing games with 2D characters is so fun! Who knows, maybe this will become mainstream in the future." "..."

at the same time.

The old 2D fans on the ANF site loved the video of Toosaka Rin playing the game so much that they began to spread the video as much as possible, continuously bringing exposure to the website and the game, and then attracted a large number of pan-2D users.

The next day, with their joint efforts.

Topics like ANFX Tousaka Rin became a hot search on social media.

Although the ranking is not high, it is only around 20th place.

You can’t see it unless you scroll down the webpage, which is nothing compared to the video’s huge success in ANF, where it is firmly ranked first.

Because the size of the two sides is incomparable.

After all, ANFs are all young users, and the mainstream media are also discussing young users. It is too difficult to compete with the mainstream group for the right to speak.

But that's pretty good.

Because if there aren't many people discussing it, let alone more than 20 people, it won't even make a splash.

And such an achievement is already impressive for a new company!
After all, this is a video website.

Many investment institutions took notice and began to inquire about the news.

And when they learned that the rise of ANF was actually related to the recent mobile game upstart FGO.

Learn about this period of time.

The operation of Avalon, the production company behind the game.

They were all shocked.

When FGO’s first-day revenue was revealed.

They had contacted Avalon before, wanting to give them money, but Tang Yao rejected them all.

Because Tang Yao didn't accept it, they didn't insist. After all, Avalon was just a game company with only one game. Although this game was profitable, its ability to tell a story and get it listed was not strong enough.

Most investors did not insist.

After all, it seems that the two-dimensional mobile game market is still a blue ocean, so there is no shortage of good projects.

Moreover, Avalon Studio’s product structure is indeed too simple and has no moat.

but now.

This Avalon… has quietly launched a website focused on the anime? Judging by the trends, it could even complement gaming?
hiss--

While they were somewhat shocked, they immediately began to inquire about the boss behind Avalon Studio through various channels.

Many investors who knew about ANF before were confused... and slowly raised a question mark.

How did they actually manage to do this?
Then they carefully checked the current situation of ANF and were stunned.

This is also possible? Games!?
On the industry side, Avalon and ANF became an instant hit.

On the cooperation side, the situation is not calm either. The dubbing studio that cooperates with Avalon... is also a little confused at the moment.

Well-known dubbing studio, Penguin Studio.

Manager's Office.

Li Li took off his headphones and looked at his subordinates not far away, saying in confusion, "Isn't this FGO...made by us?"

The subordinate nodded: "Yes."

"Who is this then?"

Li Li pointed at Rin Tousaka on the screen.

Although the subordinate hadn't seen it himself, he seemed to know what the manager was referring to and replied, "Uh... this one wasn't dubbed, but I asked the staff who did the dubbing, and they said that this character was dubbed by someone within their game company."

Li Li immediately asked, "Does the other party have a company?"

"Um...I don't know."

"I'm going to ask Avalon Studio right now. I think the voice actor for Rin Tousaka is going to be a big hit! See if they can poach her!"

"..."

Tang Yao doesn't know yet.

A large number of people have set their sights on her, including a dubbing studio...

She is currently preparing for the official launch of the new version of the game tomorrow.

However, even if she knew, she probably wouldn't care too much.

Because it didn't affect her personally.

But this is different for the well-known producer Sheng Zhi.

Avalon's operations.

It can be said that the attention of core 2D users and general 2D users has all been attracted to the website ANF and the game FGO.

Shengzhi’s game happened to be undergoing testing during this period.

So the players left for him... are all ordinary players.

It doesn't mean that ordinary players won't play.

But the quality of his game... is really too bad. There are no filters, and it’s even difficult to cheat people into spending money.

It is conceivable how terrible the final data is.

"What did you say……"

Sheng Zhi's face turned pale as he looked at the staff in front of him.

The staff member was silent for a moment, then said stubbornly, "Let me tell you, our game had an 80% user churn rate on the first day of closed beta testing, and the payment conversion rate was less than one-sixth of the industry average..."
