The younger generation should have heard of virtual idols.

Two-dimensional characters such as "Luo Tianyi" and "Hatsune Miku", although they are virtual idols, their fame and appeal are not weaker than real idols. In a "way", they are stronger than real idols.

After all, it's a "virtual" character......

Even if you covet her body, she doesn't have a body. What unspoken rules, scandals, easy aging and other problems do not exist.

This is one of the great things about virtual idols!

The absence of "entity" means that fans can rest assured that they will love, and there will never be a "wrong payment after all" thing.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The advantage of virtual idols is that they are "non-physical", which can ensure the cleanliness and purity of idols and not contaminate the sewage of the entertainment industry. But the disadvantage is that without physical assistance, it is impossible to participate in most performing arts activities.

Take Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku as examples!

These two virtual idols, the works that they can get their hands on, probably only have the category of "singing and dancing". Not to mention starring in a "live-action drama", even if it is a cameo appearance in a certain cartoon, you have to consider the issue of "painting style".

Attending offline events, holding concerts, etc., has to be achieved with the help of "holographic" projection technology, which is very inconvenient......

But then again!

Although the shortcomings of virtual idols are obvious, this does not affect them to become "perfect idols" and "dream lovers" in the eyes of dead houses, and their ability to attract money is obvious to all.

Many people think that ......

For IPs like "virtual idols", the means of making money are nothing more than selling small items such as figurines, posters, stickers, etc. The money earned in a year may not be as good as the salary of a certain Hua Dan in China.

It's a pity that they were wrong!

Taking Hatsune Miku, the No.1 in the "virtual singer" industry, as an example, he endorses products for major manufacturers every year, holds world tours, releases single albums, produces figurines of clay, game animation, image licensing and other sectors, all of which add up to a total annual revenue of 10 billion yen.

Figurines are just one of them!

Although the figure is this piece, the sales are really good. In the figure display cabinet of many dead houses, there is a virtual idol figure guaranteed.

But this is not a high percentage.

The greatest value of virtual idols is mainly in the two categories of "image authorization" and "advertising endorsement".

It's a lot like a "real idol"!

For real idols, the salary and performance fee are just hors d'oeuvres. The bulk of the money made every year is still advertising endorsements and commercial performances.

10 billion yen a year is a lot!

Equivalent to RMB, about 650 million. Equivalent to US dollars, it is also close to 100 million.

Although PD Film and Television and PD Animation have a lot of money and have a number of world-class IPs, they can't afford to have this income. But the newly established PD technology is different, they are so poor that they can't open the pot!

Yu-Gi-Oh is profitable?

That's right!

But this IP is PD Comics, and no matter how well the cards sell, PD Technology can't get a dime. The only thing they can earn is the "AR dueling instrument".

But this thing ......

In order to popularize "Yu-Gi-Oh" as soon as possible, AR dueling instruments are almost sold "sticking to the cost line".

After working hard for so long, I finally came up with Yu-Gi-Oh. Prince PD toys, painting Wang Ye PD animation and comic Wang Ye PD comics are just full, but the youngest royal brother PD technology didn't get a bite.

How does this work?

Mr. Tang was very aggrieved and came to his father to complain.

Emperor Meng, who is "old and has a son", loves this child very much.

Hearing that he was hungry and couldn't even afford to eat, he hurriedly issued an order to summon the Painting King, the Shadow King and others to fully assist his children to "get rid of poverty and become well-off".

After learning about the cause and effect, Wang Kui promised happily, but he didn't care in his heart.

"Mr. Meng is really eccentric!"

"If the technology company can't open the pot, what does it have to do with me? If you want to take advantage of my painting palace, dream about it!"

Bullshit "virtual idol" plan......

Wang Kui didn't care at all, he went back and asked the painter to draw a few sketches, make a simple PPT, and deal with Mr. Meng.

This is a project of PD Technologies.

To do it, let them do it themselves. PD animation is busy, how can I have time to accompany my brother to play at home?

The king of paintings does not cooperate, and so does the king of shadows.

Mr. Tang, who finally realized that "there is no family in heaven", was completely disappointed in his brothers who were indifferent to family affection. Just when he was disheartened and didn't know what to do next, his staff came to report.

"Lord Wang, General Zhendong asks to see!"

"Come in, please ......"

It's really dozing off, someone sent a pillow, and Mr. Tang, who was like a headless fly, finally found a savior. General Jindong from PD's neon division is willing to assist him in completing the "virtual idol" plan.

He has one condition, though.

"At the end of the year, when the group meeting is held to decide on the zodiac IP for the new year, you must support Kamen Rider!"

"Don't worry, I will!"

Mr. Tang sent General Zhendong away, and while he was happy, he also had a bold idea.

Zodiac IP is so important that it can be called the core C position of PD for a year. Kamen Rider Sora I've been elected for a year, and there's not much hope that a new rider will be re-elected.

What if you switch to a virtual idol?

Once the "virtual idol" is elected as the 2022 Renyin Tiger and obtains the group's resource tilt, do the brothers still dare to underestimate him?

"No, I have to compete. ”

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and hurriedly instructed his secretary to make an appointment with several generals overseas. Take advantage of the fact that the year-end conference has not yet been held, and canvass for votes in advance.

......

Emperor Meng, who is high above, does not know that the princes below him have already set their sights on the quota of Renyin Tiger in 2022 in advance.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Because the sons fought back and forth, it was his old father who profited in the end. As long as he is not dead, he will be in charge of this PD empire.

At this time, he was watching TV.

In the last week of September, the Queen's Sentence came to an end......

After the battle that took place in space, the Ares spaceship was destroyed, and Lufa survived with the power of Shura's armor. The trio of Xingtian executed the final judgment on Lufa.

Combined with the will of Xiao Fei and Xiao Gang, in the case of extreme anger, Xiao Tian successfully upgraded the Burning Heavenly Sword to the legendary "God of War Fire Sword", and easily defeated Lufa and the Shura armor he was wearing.

This was beyond the expectations of the audience.

They originally thought that the final battle would be a group fight of "Xingtian Trio VS Shura (Lufa)". Even if there is an upgrade, it should be three people at the same time.

I never expected it!

The final battle turned out to be a 1v1 real man duel between Xiaotian VS Lufa. Xiao Fei and Xiao Gang have become "power bank" tool people and have been reduced to gorgeous background boards.

It was a surprise......

In addition to the way Lufa was defeated, there were three other places in the ending that surprised the audience.

One is that "Ares sent people" to Earth, which not only shows that "Xingtian Flying Shadow and King Kong" is standard armor, but also reveals the fact that "King Peel stepped down due to corruption".

In another place, Xiaotian used the Shura armor to travel back in time, met his parents and Yuzu, and clarified the misunderstanding.

The last place can be called a stroke of genius.
