CHAPTER 260: VOCALOID
"voca1oid" is not just about letting Hatsune "speak", as He Chen's carefully prepared "Hatsune Project", he has spent a lot of effort in order to make this software perfect.
For the engine of the software, Luo Hao led the team of Tianman, which took five months to complete.
Then the sound recording work, first the musical instrument, He Chen will the world, all countries, all nationalities, from ancient times to the present, all the sounds of all musical instruments, all into the software, so that this software can make any instrument accompaniment for Hatsune.
This work is not difficult, but the workload is extremely large and cumbersome, and after entering, Luo Hao has to debug again. It took quite a bit of time.
In the end, it was the determination of the source of Hatsune's sound, He Chen searched for a long time, and finally felt that only Ling Yan's voice was suitable.
So she took the opportunity of letting Ling Yan dub Ling Boli, and by the way, she became the source of Hatsune's voice - she didn't want to be famous, so He Chen didn't announce Hatsune's sound source.
And in the eyes of fans, this happens to make Hatsune an independent virtual singer, there is no shadow of anyone on her body, she is the only one, her name is Hatsune.
He Chen has always felt that Huaxia's pinyin is the world's most fortified sound skills, although there are other similar products such as phonetic transcription and hiragana, but Huaxia's pinyin tone, even if there are high and low tones in some languages, but there are four kinds of Huaxia tones!
The four tones of one pronunciation make the Chinese language full of beauty, and the power of the expression is richer.
The tone is added to pinyin to make the "first tone" sound more accurate. More perfect. And it is completely possible for her to use homophony. Out of any language in the world - provided that the user understands both languages.
The sound of "voca1oid" is the soul of Hatsune, and the original software is the only one.
But here, He Chen added a body to Hatsune again.
In addition to the music module, He Chen added a touch D module to his "voca1oid". In addition to allowing users to see Hatsune, the main function of this module is to use it for choreography.
The music module requires a high level of professional skills, but in the D module, Luo Hao developed a special action engine for "voca1oid". As long as the user uses the mouse and keyboard, he can freely let Hatsune make some movements, set the timeline, and combine these movements to form a complete dance.
This kind of foolish operation, as long as you can use a mouse and keyboard, as long as you have patience, as long as you have love, anyone can do it.
This is a small means used by He Chen in order to further expand Hatsune's influence.
Of course. There may also be some more gentlemanly people who will make Hatsune do something indecent. He Chen then asked Luo Hao to add an extremely strict harmony system to it. For example, the gravity-defying skirt, the ubiquitous holy light, and any attempt to make Hatsune reveal certain body parts cannot be done.
After all, He Chen doesn't want to see Hatsune being labeled as 18x by sensitive parents, which in turn affects Hatsune's popularity. However, he himself secretly kept a copy of the original uncorrected version as a commemoration of Hatsune's birth.
It's a pity that there are too many people in the family, and he has never had a chance to play.
In order to let more people feel the charm of Hatsune, this work, which took a long time and took a lot of energy, He Chen gave free cloth.
He learned the method of a penguin, first occupied the user group for free, and then upgraded the service for a fee.
As the soul of Hatsune, the music module, it is unlikely that any service fee will be charged here, but in the D module, He Chen uses the skin charging model used in "League of Legends".
In addition to Hatsune's body, shapes, accessories, clothing, and other things that will not affect the function of the software have been added by He Chen to the "V Home City". There are also two modes of sales, one is permanent, so the price will naturally be higher, and the other is limited, so the price will be much lower.
For those who don't want to buy something and just want to choreograph a dance with a certain look, buying limited-time props is naturally the best choice for them.
As the price of a free trip to voca1oid, this will be a means of recovering its costs.
"voca1oid" created Zào out of Hatsune, and there must be a channel for Hatsune to connect with the outside world.
So He Chen opened a separate "V Home" section on the website, and at the same time launched a music game around "voca1oid" that covers all game platforms.
The number of fans using the songs created by "voca1oid" can be directly distributed to DMFUN's "V family".
If they reach a certain level of popularity, these songs will be included in the game's music library.
This time there are a bunch of games launched for Hatsune, and the games also adopt different modes depending on the platform.
The game can't be as gorgeous as the one on the computer, so He Chen borrowed from "DJMAX" and "Beat of Madness", which is also the drop mode that was also borrowed by "Rhythm Master" and "Osu!Mania".
This kind of gameplay is simple, and when you have nothing to do, you can listen to songs and entertain at the same time, which is a very suitable casual game for recreation.
There have been countless examples of how any game, even if it's boring, can get people hooked.
He Chen also followed the trend to meet everyone's psychology ** and joined the scoring and ranking system.
For this game, He Chen originally wanted to name it "Hatsune" or "V Family Rhythm", but then I thought about it, not only Hatsune is in the music library of this game, but all the animation songs of Tianman, as well as some world-famous songs and popular songs, have also been entered, and it is a little inappropriate to take such a name.
The games are all customized according to the songs, and the sense of rhythm is very strong, so He Chen simply used "Rhythm Master".
The game on the computer platform not only has a point-and-click mode borrowed from "osu!" than the mobile phone, but also refers to "Audition", adding Hatsune's dance as a background. There is also an online mode.
Drop mode and click mode. The two ways to play can be switched at will. And they all have their own score statistics and leaderboards, and if the player makes a mistake, Hatsune's dance moves will also make mistakes, enriching the game elements.
Songs that use "voca1oid" cloth,After being selected into the game music library,If the author choreographs the dance,The game will also love the dance that uses the author;If there is no choreography or the author is not satisfied with the dance he choreographed,Tianman will also make zuò for free。
"Rhythm Master" on consoles and handhelds. It's similar to the gameplay mode on the computer.,It's just a combination of the two.,There's no drop mode.,The mouse click in the click mode is replaced by the buttons on the controller.。
These games are all free cloth, and even the games of consoles and handheld consoles are only sold at a cost price.
In order to make the game work with "voca1oid", He Chen adopted a song charging model.
Except for the first batch of songs at the time of the distribution, all songs added to the library in the future must be paid to play.
The price charged is very low. And it's permanent, one-time purchase. Enjoy forever.
He Chen didn't want to make any money with this, his bigger purpose was to create a platform - just like a subscription website for novels and comics.
Create a work with "voca1oid",In the "V family" cloth,Everyone enjoys it for free,And then Tianman selects the more popular ones to join the game music library,It's equivalent to selling on the shelves,The sales will be divided with the original songwriter。
Let more people create more songs for Hatsune, this is He Chen's purpose.
Moreover, it has also expanded another revenue channel for Tianman's dubbing.
Originally, their income was only dubbing and album sales, but now the songs they sing are also added to the music game and participate in the sales share.
In addition to these games, He Chen asked Tianman Toy Factory to also produce two music game consoles - dance machine and taiko drum master.
In short, as soon as He Chen could think of anything related to the game, He Chen got it all.
With "voca1oid" as the center of the circle and those games as the radius, he wants to draw a circle, encompass the whole world, and let the two-dimensional song spread all over the world.
"voca1oid" and various versions of "Rhythm Master" bring you a novel experience, and as you dig deeper, more people are captured by the charm of Hatsune.
More and more people are involved in the creation of voca1oid, including some professionals.
In the "V Family" section, countless new songs are born every day, some are just self-entertaining, and there are also some good songs, which have attracted countless people.
In just two days, Hatsune broke numerous world records in the music industry - the most songs, the fastest number of new songs, and so on.
It's a pity that she is just a virtual character, and no one came to give her the award.
Soon after, everyone was pleasantly surprised to find that some of the more popular works were actually included in the game music library, and they were paid!
Of course, they are not stupid and surprised by the money, but from the description of the author of "V Family", they know that the author's original song can get a share of the sales in the game.
A simple lyricist and composer, compared with a singer, there is a huge difference in the status of the two.
Because no matter how good the song is, the singer has to sing it, concerts, albums, etc., and the reputation of the singer is much higher than that of the songwriter.
A good song, an excellent singer and an excellent song, both are indispensable.
But in the end, the benefits obtained from it are far inferior to those of songwriters.
But the appearance of "voca1oid" has changed all of them.
Songwriters no longer need to sell good songs to singers who have no vision for a living. They can write songs for Hatsune, and they can sing whatever song they want, and Hatsune will not encroach on their honor, and they can get more generous treatment than before.
For them, Hatsune is the perfect singer in their hearts!
He Chen's move to make Hatsune born brought an earthquake to the music industry. (To be continued......)
