When the new version of YY was launched, it coincided with late December.

As it was the end of the year, Li Mu positioned it as the new year's version with the version number of 2005 V5.0.

From 2005, all YY versions will use "year" as the version code. 2005 is 5.0, 2006 is 6.0, and so on.

In principle, the version code of each year will not be adjusted. For example, for any version released in 2005, the version number will be written in the form of 5. X.y. the number of minor version will be increased in Y, and that of major version will be increased in X.

In other words, if 2005 v5.0.1 is released, it is a small change; if 2005 v5.1.0 is released, it is a big change.

At present, the market share of YY basically accounts for more than 95%. Although some other small products have a certain audience, their audience and YY overlap very high.

As a unique instant messaging tool in the world, the new version of YY has attracted a large number of users' attention from the pre notice stage.

The new version of YY has been upgraded in a number of functions, as well as a comprehensive optimization of UI interface more in line with modern aesthetics. The biggest upgrade is the new dynamic expression.

Since the leading position of the industry has been established, and there is no global rival, YY has not been greatly updated in this period of time. Unlike the earliest days, various new functions of hanging and exploding the sky have been continuously launched, but slow down the speed, firm and steady, to ensure that each new version can be in visual experience, interactive experience and use experience Improved.

Li Mu is very clear that many software is destroyed by blind upgrading, which gives users a feeling that it is uglier and more difficult to use after upgrading than before. Therefore, he is very cautious about every upgrade and requires the team to be stable.

Because every update of YY is very stable and never let users down, users also maintain a sense of expectation for the new version. Every time a new version is released, most users will choose to upgrade after logging in.

This time, YY users around the world found that YY had upgraded the first version in 2005, and they were excited to download the update package and update the software.

After the user's update and login, YY flashed a series of sci-fi animations, such as new 2005 and new yy5.0. YY's logo also ran out of the visual effect of the three-dimensional animation with CG, and then matched with a very futuristic background music, which made all users feel great good.

The whole interface, border and button have better visual effect, which greatly improves the user experience. When users click to open the friend dialog box, they find that there is an animation prompt on the dialog box, and a continuously glowing arrow points to another moving expression sign next to the original Emoji expression, and prompts in the native language: "Please Click See the new dynamic emoticon feature. "

After clicking open, an expression selection box appears. Twenty panda bear expressions are presented in front of users in five or four rows, and each of them is in a continuous dynamic cycle.

As long as the user places the mouse on one of the emoticons thumbnails, a matchbox size floating window will pop up immediately, which can clearly enlarge and display the emoticons targeted by the mouse. When the user sees these emoticons, almost everyone is attracted by this strange and cute cartoon image.

Soon, some users are trying to send a dynamic expression to their friends.

Click send, the GIF expression immediately appears in the dialog box. The funny action matches with the text, which makes people laugh.

Moreover, users soon found that this kind of dynamic expression can not only directly replace the text in some cases, but also use the expression of "alternative chat"!

For example, a user sent a panda bear to a friend and said, "here I am!" His friend immediately returned a panda bear's face, which suddenly turned its head to exaggerate and waved, with a string of love.

Some users are not so friendly. When they receive the "I'm here" expression from their friends, they choose to reply to Panda Bear's expression of kicking a person to fly.

The friend immediately sent him a panda bear beating expression in color.

Soon, we found that all kinds of expressions can be related to each other according to different situations, and different combinations naturally have different effects and feelings.

For users, it's like discovering a new continent, and they immediately immerse themselves in it.

20 panda bear expressions were played by users almost immediately!

Users have no natural resistance to this expression, which makes their online chat suddenly enter a new height.

Since panda bear expression has multi-national language versions, the system judges by automatically loading the panda bear expression in any language version the user uses, so it can be spread all over the world.

What's more, the expression of local cache and instruction transmission can also be switched between various languages.For example, a Japanese sent a "go away" to a Korean The sender selects Japanese expression locally and sends it to the server as an instruction. After Korean YY is used to collect the expression, it will be automatically displayed as Korean expression. Therefore, this expression has no national boundaries.

Group chat is more interesting.

If there are multiple users in a group, using different language versions of YY, then anyone who sends a "I'm here" expression, different group members can receive the same expression in their own language version.

There are no restrictions on communication.

In the past, the user-defined expression was fixed. It said, "the other side doesn't want to talk to you, and has lost a dog to you". It was sent to the same string of words to everyone. It can be sent to the Chinese people. It can be sent to the Americans, who can't understand it. The Japanese can also read the misty water.

But now, the expression files of YY are cached by the system itself, and the transmission is also based on the transmission instructions rather than the file itself, so as long as Makino technology has made the multi-national version and unified the multi-national version of the instructions, it can be realized that the Chinese sent the American expression "the other side didn't want to talk to you, and lost a dog to you". The American straight Received the translation into English.

In this way, the Internet world is reunited.

……

Such an interesting expression pack immediately attracted the attention of YY users all over the world.

For a while, the expression packs of private chat were flying all over the sky, and the expression packs in the group were constantly swiping the screen.

The monitoring data of Muye technology shows that in the first hour when the new version goes online, the cumulative number of dynamic expression sends has exceeded 100 million times, while in the second hour, the cumulative number of sends has exceeded one billion times!

In the third hour, the cumulative number of times to send exceeded 2 billion! More than 10 times per person.

Once users start to use emoticons, they can hardly stop!

Both boys and girls love the ugly, cheap and cute image of panda bear, and even think that the more you look at it, the more fun it is.

For a while, panda and panda bear have become super hot spots in the global Internet world.

Because many users like panda bear expression, they also have more expectations for the real panda.

Soon, content related to dynamic expressions began to appear on twitter.

Chinese users, European and American users, Japanese and Korean users, and Australian users all praise the dynamic expression on twitter. Many people ask who made the dynamic expression called "Panda Bear" and who designed it.

The official account of microblog twitter released an official note: panda bear is the cartoon image and mascot of Taobao's panda tourism special line. The copyright belongs to Taobao's exclusive ownership. The author is Mr. Li Mu, chairman of Muye technology.

In addition, twitter, the microblog, also sold a pass, saying, "six of the 20 panda bears' dynamic expressions in the first phase are played by Mr. Li Mu himself. Do you know what they are?"

He also attached a picture to the microblog. In the picture, he held a 30 cm panda bear doll with his own hands, and behind him stood a row of dolls in Panda Bear costume.

Overnight, Li Mu's microblog became popular, and the panda tourism line products that Taobao went to were sold out.

On the Internet, there are also a large number of young people who use the image of panda bear as their head portrait.

There has never been such a strong visual wave on the Internet that can make netizens all over the world crazily pursue cartoon images on the Internet. Panda bear is definitely the first.

Japanese netizens also like panda bears, and because they are cartoon powers, their netizens' attitude is the most tangled.

On the one hand, it's Japanese users' crazy love for panda bears, on the other hand, it's their deep-seated strong incomprehension.

Why, why can Chinese people design such a special, powerful cartoon image? Shouldn't this be what Japan is best at? But now, a cartoon image designed by a Chinese man has become popular all over the world overnight. Although there are many cartoon images in Japan, none of them are as fast and fierce as Panda Bea
