Chapter 41: Virtual idols take the stage

There were still more than ten minutes before the official start of the concert, and the two of them bought two drinks casually in the mall, and then began to enter.

The ticket was bought online by Jiang Wanna, and when you enter, you can just swipe the bracelet at the door, which is very convenient.

Zhong Ming walked inside, while observing the layout of the entire virtual theater, and found that the overall structure is a bit similar to that of a movie theater, which is also divided into small halls, and the seats in each small hall are not too many, the larger ones are a few hundred people, and the smaller ones are only a few dozen seats.

Jiang Wanna booked a medium-sized hall, which could accommodate about two or three hundred people.

This hall is not as big as possible, and each has its own benefits. The larger hall is more crowded, and the holograms are larger and more lively; Smaller halls can be closer to the stage. The audience buys tickets according to their own preferences, and the same virtual idol performance in different halls may have a slight difference in perception, just like some movies must be watched in IMAX.

Entering Hall 09, Zhong Ming found that the seating layout here was not a row by row like a movie theater, but a circular stage, and the seats were distributed around the stage in a circle. There is a large screen above the stage, which should broadcast the stage live in real time, or put some subtitles, background pictures and other things; The circular stage looks like it can be rotated, and if you look closely, you will see that there are many mechanisms on the stage.

It hasn't started yet, so the lights are still on in the hall, Zhong Ming put the drink aside, checked it with the bracelet, and found that this stage is still a bit mysterious.

All virtual idols are presented in the form of holograms, but that doesn't mean the stage is empty. There are mechanisms under the stage, and some props will be arranged under the stage in advance, and they will be directly presented with the mechanism when the time comes. For example, when playing music, there will be some real instruments on the stage, and these real instruments will play and make sounds, instead of playing the recorded sound directly.

Of course, virtual idols don't play instruments, and there are programs inside the instruments that can be played automatically, but in any case, audiences prefer to listen directly to live music rather than pre-recorded recordings.

Although there is no essential difference, the audience still prefers the former emotionally.

Other spectators also entered, and soon, the lights dimmed,

"Huh!"

The lights on the stage suddenly turned on, the background music came out, and on the stage, several illusory figures gradually appeared.

Seeing these figures, many viewers began to cheer and applaud!

"Ahh Su Bai is out!! Su Bai I love you! ”

"Alice! Alice is in uniform today! ”

"Dina! Wow, today's Dina is also full of aggression! ”

Unlike Zhong Ming's imagination, this concert is completely the atmosphere of the concert, and the enthusiastic fans are all shouting at the top of their voices, which is very hot.

Zhong Ming looked at the stage, and there were six virtual idols on the opening stage, two men and four women, these should all belong to the same company, Xinghua Mutual Entertainment, a bit similar to ...... Contracted artists from the same performing arts company.

In this world, it is not only otaku who chase virtual idols, but women are also an important group that cannot be ignored. Judging from the gender distribution of the audience, men only account for about 40%, and women are the main force. So there must still be one or two male virtual idols on the stage who can control the scene, otherwise the female audience will not buy it.

Of course, there are also audiences like Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna, who don't chase stars, but only come to listen to music, but they belong to a minority.

The six virtual idols are oriented to audiences in different regions and are distributed in various directions of the circular stage.

This point has been indicated in advance when purchasing tickets, the ring-shaped auditorium is divided into many different areas, and Su Bai's fans can see more of Su Bai's face when they buy tickets for the corresponding area.

Therefore, the tickets for the corresponding areas of some super popular virtual idols are often sold out first, just like the tickets for good locations in the cinema are sold out first.

Of course, the position of these virtual idols is not static, the stage will turn, and the position of the virtual idol will also change constantly, so as to take care of more audiences. You can't always listen to a virtual idol concert, and you can only see the butts of one or two virtual idols in the whole process, which is not appropriate.

These virtual idols are all some very popular idols, and there is a big gap between their personalities and personalities. Thinking about it, this is normal, and the virtual idols who can be killed from the fierce competition must all have unique personalities.

For example, Su Bai, who is shouting frantically in the audience, is a male virtual idol, many women shout "husband", his character is a warm man, the kind who takes care of the cold and asks for warmth, and he is also a high-achieving student, and he never loses his temper, so he has attracted a lot of sister fans and mother fans. As a very successful oriental image virtual idol, Su Bai is the signature of Xinghua Interactive Entertainment, bringing hundreds of millions of added value.

There are also very popular female virtual idols, such as Dina, who is a Westerner image, completely queen-like, and once had a performance of "insulting" fans at a concert, but the box office of that concert broke the record at that time, which shows that otaku are not without spending power, but they are not stimulated.

The opening is a joint performance of six virtual idols, which is a bit like the opening of a party. Su Bai and Tina were in charge of singing, and the others were either dancing or playing musical instruments.

After the opening, a variety of musical instruments rise directly under the stage, including the very common folding keyboard, and some more traditional instruments, on which virtual idols will play directly pretending, in fact, they are all programmed in the instruments and played directly.

The big screen on the stage will play the edited images, just like the concert, these are all edited in advance, and all the content played on the big screen is the same.

Soon, the song ended, and several virtual idols thanked each other in the cheers of the audience, some bowed and some kissed, and then slowly disappeared.

At the same time, the lights hit the center of the stage, and a host in a dress stepped on the mechanism and slowly rose.

"Hello everyone, welcome to the concert of virtual idols under Xinghua Interactive Entertainment! The theme of this concert is 'Burn'! I wonder if you have felt this burning atmosphere from the song and dance performance just now? ……”

Although this is a stage for virtual idols, the role of the host is still essential.

Because there are some links in the middle of the concert, such as on-site lucky draws, the prizes may be a song gift package of a virtual idol, peripheral products, or tickets to another concert, etc.; And it's all virtual stage performances, so that the host can better set off the atmosphere of the scene, or make some adjustments on the fly.

The host is the internal staff of this virtual theater, just like the staff of Disneyland, he has to receive a lot of audiences every day, and the words he says are similar every day, maybe the same sentence has to be said dozens or hundreds of times, but fortunately, his tasks are actually not much, that is, to show his face at the beginning, show his face halfway, and show his face again at the end, and the time for each show to appear on the stage is only a few minutes.

Of course, there are also some virtual idol performances that don't have a host at all, just like watching a movie, watching it when you enter, and leaving after watching it, but you always feel that there is a bit of a loss in the lottery link.

After two rounds of applause, the host returned to the center of the stage and stepped on the mechanism to slowly descend and exit.

Then came the official performance of the concert.

These six virtual idols will take the stage in turn, and each virtual idol will have its own show.
