I don't know how many people still have an impression of the advertising screen in Times Square, New Yorkers, USA.
The billboard is clearly priced at $40/15 seconds for everyone, and as long as the video is reviewed, it will be played in order, and the traffic in Times Square will be able to see the 15-second short video you uploaded as long as they look up.
This billboard has Cai Xukun, Ma Baoguo, War Eagle, Genshin Impact, Star Iron, Azure Archive, there are more stalks in front, and the latter is more of a serious kitchen power broadcast......
Although there are a lot of short videos of memes on the billboards, the public also pays more attention to the impact until ...... Half a month ago, I saw a "DORO" on this big screen.
HEY, BRO, I THINK YOU'VE GOT TO COME AND SEE THIS DORO, SHE'S SUCH A ...... Magical?
She can run, jump, change shape, and punch hard, no matter how you look at it, it is a miracle of life;
On the top of the person, DORO is the cute beautiful girl, and on the top of the dog, DORO is the cute DORO.
There is an old saying in the second yuan: first there is DORO, then there is the sky. In this era when two-dimensional beautiful girls dominate the world, DORO can be described as a beacon, and those who win DORO win the world, embrace DORO, and embrace beauty and happiness.
I don't blame me for being crazy, it's really because DORO has really been out of the circle in the past few months, and the billboards in Times Square are just one of the examples, and DORO is actually the emojis used by group friends in their daily chats.
I have a friend like this.,Before writing the article, he asked him to send me a DORO emoji.,The word just coded 15.,The message reminder exploded directly to 99+.,Open a dazzling array of lights.,It's more difficult to save than the yard.。
Of course, those who have never been in contact with DORO and NIKKE may wonder when this humble pink dog appeared and why it has become so popular...... The answer to these questions can actually start from the last time "DORO" logged in Times Square.
The first time "DORO" landed in Times Square was a year ago, when she was young and cute, with a sweet smile, knee-high boots, and finally a white armor, she was a standard two-dimensional beautiful girl.
But soon its image has changed drastically.,A year later, "DORO" finally became DORO.,The cute beautiful girl itself became a pink dog.,And the initiator is the game at her feet.,Yes, it's the "NIKKE" who became famous because of the two-dimensional jiri.。
Some time ago, NIKKE held its own anniversary voting event, and the official will design skins for the first-place characters according to the votes of players, and the two most popular characters in the game, one is "Little Red Riding Hood" launched at the first anniversary, and the other is the character "Dorothy" launched at the half-anniversary date.
Little Red Riding Hood on the left, Dorothy on the right
The DORO advertisement placed in Times Square is also because of this vote, and it is a spoof video made by Dorothy's chef in order to canvass for Dorothy, but compared to the original standard sweet vertical painting, Dorothy actually appeared more in the game as a "pink dog" in the year of implementation, flipping through the forum, compared to Dorothy herself, DORO is obviously more eye-catching.
Jiri's beautiful girl is not as attractive as a pink dog, although this sounds outrageous, but it is actually normal in Dorothy, and if you want to understand the reason, you have to involve a little spoiler of NIKKE, so please watch the latter paragraph as appropriate.
The plot of NIKKE is similar to most of the current second games, choosing a post-apocalyptic timeline, because of the invasion, all human civilizations have gone underground, in order to reclaim the surface, the player takes on the role of the commander, commanding Nikki to fight with the mechanical life on the ground.
Nikki in the plot is divided into categories, with various models, which will be divided according to the squad affiliation and faction. And among them, there are also Nikki who can break away from the commander, fight on their own, and fight against mechanical life on the ground for many years, these people are relatively independent, and they are called "pilgrims".
And "Dorothy" is one of the leaders of the pilgrims, she formed an organization called "Garden of Eden" on the ground, the first time she saw the commander shushing the cold and asking for warmth, before she could say a word, she held hands directly, a little virgin like me where can withstand this offsive, "wife" blurted out.
But before she could talk about it, Dorothy's bad woman attributes on the next set were revealed, not only to push us to the front line as cannon fodder, but also to completely destroy the humans who fled underground.
"Dorothy" is a character who will naturally not become a passerby of the plot, and on the occasion of the half anniversary, Dorothy also joined the game as a card pool character, and in order to promote her official counterpart event "OVER ZONE", it was also the official Dorothy who was sent to the center of Times Square.
Today, the plot rules of NIKKE are actually almost touched, daily updates as the main line of the main axis, usual activities and entertainment, key nodes give you some medicine, and complete the main line, although this routine is a bit of a chicken thief, but it does not affect the shaping of existing characters.
As the key event of the first half anniversary, "OVER ZONE" is the so-called "big medicine", and the story timeline goes directly backwards to a hundred years ago, at the critical moment when humanity completely abandoned the ground and had not yet fully entered the underground.
At that time, although Dorothy faced the embarrassing situation of the sudden death of her boss and the hopelessness of supply in the rear, she still provoked the girder and tried to communicate with the rear, she united the remaining friends in the base and completed the last few tasks assigned together, but then she was raided, and in the face of the juniors who trusted herself but were infected by the virus, she chose to pull the trigger, and her mind collapsed for a while.
Later, she was deceived by the humans behind her, blowing up the only way to the underground shelter, and finally had to wander with her companions in this land full of hostile mechanical creatures.
The plot of "OVER ZONE" is very simple, but she is also enough to complete Dorothy's transformation from gentle and lovely to bitter and hateful, which is why Dorothy's popularity has reached a peak.
High intensity, beautiful shape, miserable plot, the first time I met to do something to you, although I want to harm you, but in the end I will definitely be taken down, all-round coverage of the plot party, strength kitchen and wife, it's simply a perfect template for the two-dimensional role, when will you not smoke at this time?
However, card drawing comes at a cost, and if you're not well prepared, you'll probably be crooked in Nikki's card pool that you won't even recognize. It's not like I'm being alarmist, because DORO, the pink dog that is now a smash hit, is actually a venting emoji made by a second-generation artist because he didn't get Dorothy.
This silly emoji has been widely circulated in Korean forums since the first day it was released, and it has quickly become an emoji that every NIKKE player has seen.
Judging from its origin, you may think that DORO itself may not have so many show effects, but if you combine it with the experience of Dorothy, her bitterness and hatred are deep, and the silly and silly of emojis also form a subtle contrast, I think it is probably because of this contrast that DORO's image has been evolving and has been popular for half a year.
Today, DORO's image is no longer a simple emoji, in fact, official programs, dolls, or some official occasions will bring DORO, it has also become one of the officially recognized images, so it is not surprising that she finally appeared on the big screen in Times Square again a year later.
This kind of enthusiasm is also brought to other characters, and many characters in the plot who have not yet been implemented actually have their own "DORO image" in the forum.
It's just that there is no corresponding shaping of the plot, and these are only staying in DORO's body, far inferior to Dorothy himself, and the number of emojis is thick enough to publish an illustrated book.
The world is still logical, and I think it's officially because Dorothy has gained extraordinary popularity through the portrayal of the event plot, so that players have a deep impression of her, and finally it can be extended to the love for this DORO puppy.
From another point of view, NIKKE's own not-so-serious plot narration actually gives this meme room for development. In NIKKE, you can see the casual complaints of your teammates, and the arduous journey of saving humanity and protecting your companions is filled with such a gag, which is an expression that many post-apocalyptic games can't learn.
The power of Internet memes is really amazing, although DORO is in the limelight, but in this voting event, Dorothy actually failed to win Little Red Riding Hood in the end, and can only be relegated to second...... There are actually a lot of angles, but I think the only thing that remains the same is probably to get through this vote, and DORO will still run rampant on Nikke, that's all.
Although it has been blown so much, in fact, NIKKE has done a lot of bad work in the past six months, the plot is advancing slowly, and the newly added system is full of krypton...... The only thing I'm glad about is that this game is really idle as an idle game, and my answer to the strength has also changed from finding a strategy to equip, to sleeping for three days and three nights, as a veritable idle game, believe me, as long as you sleep long enough, everything will be fine.
