Chapter 55: Mighty and domineering
Wang Ming rubbed his sore shoulders, looked left and right for a while, and saw that the time for the 8 o'clock shift was approaching, and he was busy for several days, and his heart was relieved.
He is a civil servant of customs and border control at Xiaoshan International Airport, specializing in serving visitors.
The so-called visitor channel is the one that serves the entry of foreign adults, which is different from the channel that receives domestic citizens to return to China.
Since the construction of the airport seven or eight years ago, because the area of the house that was demolished was relatively large, Wang Ming relied on the threat of being a nail household to seek a customs mission in one fell swoop, and he has been working in the visitor passage since then.
Every day, I see those colleagues in the citizen channel who are as busy as dogs, and he is relatively idle - who makes the Chinese population so large, even though Qiantang is already an internationally famous tourist city, the number of Chinese received by the customs every day is still more than ten times that of foreigners.
However, in the past few days, the evil family has really beeped the dog. There are many foreigners like dogs, they are all Korean and Japanese, and some of them go through the Taiwan compatriot channel. After the leader discovered the anomaly the day before yesterday, he urgently changed a citizen passage into a visitor passage, but he was still so busy that the foreign adults lined up.
Qiantang City receives more than 1 million foreign tourists a year, of which at least two-thirds enter the customs from the Pudong International Airport in Hujiang, and then remove other entry channels, Xiaoshan International Airport has more than 200,000 foreigners a year, and more than 1,000 people a day on weekdays.
In the past three days, the number of daily customs entries has risen from more than 1,000 to more than 5,000.
"Xiao Li, why is it suddenly empty today? It was really evil a while ago, so busy. Wang Ming was idle, seeing that there was nothing to do, he couldn't help but feel a little unconvinced, and chatted with a young colleague in the next passage - in Wang Ming's mind. When Lao Tzu was about to get off work, these foreign adults stopped, but it was cheaper to spend a while with Liu Da who worked three shifts with me, and he could sleep well on the night shift......
Xiao Li next door is a young man in his twenties, a girl. After listening to his question, he didn't have a good face. Pouted disdainfully: "What else could it be?" The concert has begun! Those Orientals, if they haven't arrived in the afternoon, won't be there. Well, I can't ask for leave for the past two days, and I want to see it! ”
"Concert? What's the concert? "Wang Ming is a dirt bun, and he is an uncle-level age, I don't know about the tide of people, Xiao Li's words are naturally so confused that he doesn't know at all.
"Uncle Wang! The Qing Dynasty is dead! The Hatsune Group held a concert at the Huanglong Sports Center, and I heard that the new technology was not available to Americans and Japanese. You know? It has been seven or eight years since your village was demolished before it was connected to the Internet! ”
……
In the Huanglong Sports Center, the heat continues to soar.
Chinese, Japanese, Korean.
The frenzied shouts are indistinguishable in the case of multilingualism.
The current first-generation synthesized sound of Hatsune Singer is mainly based on Jolin Tsai's original sound. So the main track after today's opening. In addition to some songs of the two-dimensional wind, there are also representative works of Jolin Tsai herself. Including "Say I Love You", "The Sun Never Sets", and "Madrid is Incredible". In addition, there are several two-dimensional songs that are tailored by well-known Japanese composers, such as one called "Thousand Honzakura".
Whether it was turned over by Jolin Tsai or sung by Hatsune Singer, all of them received rave reviews.
Lin Xuanyan sat in the only lighthouse cubicle, looking through the one-way translucent glass, looking at the frenzied scene outside. I felt a deep shock in my heart.
When will a concert held by Chinese attract so many "friendly people"? Even when Teresa Teng was the most popular, she just went to Tokyo to hold a concert and sent it to the door for the Japanese to listen to, right?
It is the only case that so many Japanese and Koreans can fly to China to listen to concerts by plane. Just look at the LED glowing characters of the waving Japanese kana below. Not to count out the number of at least thousands of Japanese fans.
Science and technology are the primary productive forces, and we must come up with some dry goods that cannot be replaced by others, so as to have real and hard results.
In 06, other first-line singer concerts are generally still selling tickets with a starting price of 280 and 380, and Hatsune dares to start directly at 580, and the iron relies on its own hardness.
Lin Xuanyan silently counted in her heart, today's meeting, the tickets were sold at least 100 million in revenue. In terms of expenses, if those interactive stars charge, the appearance fee is more than one million, plus the venue rent and decoration, there are always tens of millions.
In addition, the biggest expense should be the programming of 3D projection content and the investment in equipment, peripheral software and hardware. It is estimated that it will be as much as twenty or thirty million.
According to this calculation, if you have a concert like this, there will still be a doubling profit margin, and the final net profit will be fifty or sixty million.
(Later, when Zhou Jielun held a Little Dome concert, she also spent NT$100 million, equivalent to 20 million yuan, to make a full set of special effects and lighting sets.) The set-up and props for large-scale concerts are expensive, and the writing and equipment for 3D projections are even more expensive. )
And,Really calculated,Hatsune singer's effect programming is not scrapped after one use.,The program is written there.,The next Hujiang concert or other concerts in the future.,You can continue to play it.。 At most, revise and flesh out new tracks and choreography. So as long as it is copied and continued, the total cost of each concert can be stuck to more than 20 million.
Of course, considering that the future concert will no longer be the debut of the technology of 3D virtual concerts, the audience will no longer be so fanatical, and the ticket price will also fall, so the total revenue may only increase a little - that is already considerable, after all, it is a long-term continuous business that can replicate more than a dozen shows a year, and it is not a dream to make a net profit of 500 million a year. And at least for two years, this model is unlikely to have the technical strength to grab business from its peers.
"More than a dozen games a year, it is estimated that it is the limit, and the country is only in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, plus a limited number of second-tier cities, there is such a large market capacity. There is a small half left, and I can only count on going to Tokyo or Seoul to hold an exhibition. ”
Lin Xuanyan silently helped her cousin-in-law calculate the accounts in her heart, envy and joy.
She was slightly distracted, and the song was ending outside. The lights dimmed. A voice from the speaker announced: "Now let's enter the special human-computer interaction session, and invite this mysterious guest, Mr. Zhou Jielun, to appear——"
The tide of glow sticks came wave after wave, and the deafening sound completely shook Lin Xuanyan back to her senses.
Zhou Jielun's kind of goods, although it is now in full swing. But he can't hide his true colors as a "music enthusiast of new technology", and in the future, even if he pays out of his own pocket, he will have to play this kind of 3D virtual character chorus, not to mention that today Gu Mojie provided this opportunity.
He thought he had come to the mainland for a week, and he didn't even ask for an appearance fee, so he took the initiative to come over and take the stage - the first human singer to sing on the same stage with a virtual character, such an experience, after all, can also go down in history, which music hipster doesn't want to get it?
In the middle, it is not for nothing that Qu is tortured. The contract between Zhou Jielun and his brokerage company has not expired, and many times the itinerary cannot be autonomous. And the fact that the inviting party is exempted from the order is not something he has the right to make, but can only listen to the decision of the brokerage company. In order to come to the mainland for a week without a single order, Zhou Jielun finally paid the part of the brokerage company out of his own pocket to get this freedom.
Two or three songs in a row, male and female voices singing, all of which are Jolin Tsai's songs. The female voice is naturally sung by the electronic voice of Hatsune. "Prague Square" and "Chivalry" were originally duets sung by Jielun Chow and Jolin Tsai, so they naturally became must-choose.
100,000 people roared. It lasted for half an hour, until 100,000 people were dumb and their arms were so sore that they couldn't lift them. Before Zhou Jielun stepped down, the penultimate song was a new song by him, which was originally intended to be used on the album of the second year, but now it is also used as dry goods, which can be described as full of sincerity. The title of the song is "Give Me Time for a Song".
The song "Give Me Time for a Song". The style of the song is memoral, which is different from all the other songs in the audience, and the audience seems to be infected and calmed down. At the end of the song, the audience went completely dark, and all the lights were turned off. It didn't come back for three minutes.
Theoretically, there was still more than half an hour before the finale, and the audience naturally clamoured.
"Sister Lin, the people of Hatsune Company won't drop the chain, right? Why is there no one in the back? "Xiao Ming (Search results may not comply with relevant laws, regulations and policies, and are not displayed.) The whole person leaned forward, leaned on the glass window and looked out curiously, and there were glow sticks waving angrily everywhere.
"No, it's just to create an atmosphere." Lin Xuanyan excused herself quite confidently.
When Xiao Ming heard this, he also felt that this should be the case.
Sure enough, after a short period of depression, Hatsune had a strange peak, which gave the audience a big surprise.
On the stage, a few lines of virtual text were projected in the air, which was Zhou Jielun's inner monologue: "What an honor it would be if I could travel back in time to thirty years ago and sing a song on the same stage with her......"
Then, there was the scene of the Taipei Arena in later generations, Jewell Music Company's use of technical means to "resurrect" Teresa Teng.
It's just that this time, the technology was provided by Hatsune. As for the legal risks, naturally Fei Liluo flew to Taipei in advance, signed a bunch of agreements, obtained the authorization of all the relatives who Teresa Teng was still alive who had the right to decide, and gave the relatives of the Deng family a ticket and a plane ticket for today.
Zhou Jielun in later generations, and Teresa Teng's virtual character sang a song "Red Dust Inn" on the same stage, but now there is no "Red Dust Inn", so he sings "Thousands of Miles Away" in this year's new album "Still Fantesi".
"Thousands of Miles Away" is one of all the songs in "Still Fantesi", relatively speaking, the one that needs the most feminine voice chorus, and it can be used on this occasion, as long as Fei Yuqing's voice is replaced by Teresa Teng.
Teresa Teng's voice, naturally, can't find the ancients who have passed away for more than ten years to record it. In terms of first tone, I found a female singer with a similar timbre to simulate the recording, and then processed it through the audio track synthesis technology of Guò first tone, to ensure that the similarity with Teresa Teng's original voice after comparison is more than 99%.
What do you mean by? How can we prove that the voice of "Hatsune Singer" is really artificially synthesized and calculated? That's real proof! It's called!
It's like just looking at a game CG, and you can't tell whether this game is a "graphics crisis", because no matter how beautiful the picture is, it may just be a good texture, which can't show that the technology is excellent. But if in the course of the game, as in "Company of Heroes", any environment and scenery that a cannonball falls can respond interactively, and any background can be destroyed, then the nature is completely different. That's a real physics engine.
Hatsune's awesomeness does not rely on stock, hoarding, or sword moves, but on making no moves.
"The two thousand dollars are the most valuable two thousand dollars I have spent. Sister Lin, is this all true? Xiao Ming stared ahead blankly as if his eyes were out of focus, and muttered.
"It's all true...... It's all true......"
Even though Lin Xuanyan was more receptive to new technologies, she couldn't say more, just muttered this sentence repeatedly. So much so that when Jolin Tsai made a cameo appearance in the future, she didn't notice any sense of existence.
If it were a normal time, even if it was a concert where Jolin Tsai appeared alone, Lin Xuanyan might not be able to buy it if she wanted to go. As a result, the first sister in the Taiwanese music scene in the area actually has no sense of zài, and she can only blame her for being born at the wrong time today.
Lin Xuanyan was dazed as if she had crashed, and she didn't remember how the concert ended in the end. Theoretically, the concert that ended at half past ten was blocked until 11 o'clock.
Xiao Ming was finally taken away by a female bodyguard and left through the underground passage. Before leaving, she didn't forget to say goodbye to Lin Xuanyan:
"Sister Lin, usually my dad requires me to go to bed at half past nine...... It's two hours late today, and I really have to go. (To be continued.) )
