Chapter 139: Prejudice
Many people in the review team paid attention to Chanel, but there were quite a few differences of opinion.
"I think the image of this virtual idol is quite good, it is more unconventional, and the audience has a lot of likes?"
"No, this should be better on the side of Westerners, but it is definitely not good in the Chinese cultural circle, this kind of rebellious woman will give people a sense of oppression that is too strong, and it is not suitable as a female virtual idol."
"At least you can make a recommendation, right?"
"But now the list of recommendations is overgrown."
"I can't give the first two pages, but I should be able to give the third page."
"If you recommend this virtual idol, who will you replace?"
"Let's replace the blue sky."
"Do you really think Aozora is worse than Chanel? I think Qingkong is a very safe choice, and it will definitely have an effect if you push it, but Xia Nell is not easy to say. ”
The people on the review team began to argue.
This situation is actually very rare, because in most cases, whether a virtual idol is doing well or badly can be judged by intuitive first feelings. The appearance, model, and the completion of the interactive program, there will be a very obvious gap between some individual works and the studio's works.
But Chanel's problem is not that her original drawings are not detailed enough or the interactive program is not complete, on the contrary, her quality is completely fine, but her character design does not meet the aesthetics of most of the review team members!
In other words, it doesn't conform to their consistent experience of "what kind of virtual idol can be popular"!
In the years since the birth of virtual idols, there have been countless virtual idols, among which there are many unconventional virtual idols, for example, some virtual idols are full of vulgar temptations and hints at the beginning of the design, but none of those virtual idols have become popular, and in the end what remains is a group of virtual idols that are high and do not seem to eat the fireworks of the world.
is like Dina, with a fairy aura, which makes people feel unattainable. Even idols like Su Bai and Alice, who seem to be "approachable", have a "fairy" side, which makes people feel that such noble and flawless idols do not exist in reality, so they will become popular.
Therefore, it is difficult to say how Chanel's feedback will be among ordinary people, but in this moderation team, those who oppose it account for the majority.
It's not that they don't like this image, they just think that this image is likely to be good everywhere, but it just won't be popular.
Because the current review team is not the same group of people as the professional review team, the review team is all industry insiders who have been in the industry for two or three years, and have a certain understanding of virtual idols, but they are not deep enough, but they like to consider this issue with some inherent preconceptions.
After discussing it for a long time, Lao Yan made a decision.
"Give her a recommendation on the fourth page, I think Aozora is also good, and it is better than this prospect."
……
Monday.
On the airbus, Zhong Ming opened the bracelet and refreshed the page of the virtual idol contest.
"Oh? The competition has entered the second stage. ”
In the new week, the virtual idol competition has officially entered the second stage, that is, the audience voting session.
Each audience member has ten votes and can vote for the virtual idol, and the top 20 virtual idols will be determined according to the number of votes and enter the third stage.
In the second stage, the jury will select a number of virtual idols and arrange recommended places.
On the event page, there are 10 virtual idols on each page, and there are more than 20 pages in total. The first 10 pages have 2 recommendation slots on each page, which will be displayed in a special color at the top of the page, which is very eye-catching.
In other words, as long as the audience turns to this page, the first thing they will see will definitely be the virtual idol on the recommended position.
Of course, there are pros and cons to these recommendations, the first page is obviously the most prime position, and the second page is a little worse, but still better than the other positions on the first page.
Because the virtual idols in the recommended position will enjoy a larger layout, they will naturally be able to leave a deeper impression on the audience.
The reason why I didn't arrange all the recommended positions on the first page was because I wanted to give the virtual idols in the back more opportunities for exposure.
This is the default sorting rule, and viewers can also choose other sorting methods, such as sorting by the number of votes, or only looking at the recommended virtual idols, etc.
Zhong Ming had known this rule for a long time, and he just wanted to see how many places Xia Nell ranked.
The first page, no.
The second page, no.
Page 3, still nothing!
Zhong Ming was a little confused, and he didn't turn to the fourth page until he saw Xia Nell on the recommended position.
“…… It's too much on page four, isn't it?! ”
Zhong Ming was shocked, the judging of the virtual idol contest is very problematic!
Why is Chanel only on the fourth page!
Of course, Zhong Ming also knew that Xia Nell was on the fourth page, not that she was ranked 40th in the minds of the judges, because everything that was recommended was focused on, and Xia Nell should be in the seventh and eighth places in the eyes of the judges.
But that's also a bit backward!
The review team for the referral position is based on the number of likes, of course, it also depends on the personal taste of each staff member.
Zhong Ming flipped through the several virtual idols in the recommendation position in front of him, Tiya and Shangguan Yun were undoubtedly ranked in the first two recommendation positions on the first page, these two likes are much higher than Xia Nell, Zhong Ming also recognized it, but how can these virtual idols in the back?
But at this point, Zhong Ming, as an ordinary contestant, can't complain about this, he can only accept the current situation.
But Zhong Ming still has confidence in Xia Nell, who is more popular, it still has to be decided by the audience's vote!
……
It's time for the company.
"Brother Zhong, morning."
Zhang Xiaowen also just arrived, took some snacks from the snack area and was nibbling, and there was a can of Coke next to him, probably because he hadn't eaten in the morning.
Zhong Ming is not surprised, many young people who have just joined the company, especially those who have just joined Internet companies or game companies, often skip breakfast because these companies work late.
Zhong Ming greeted Zhang Xiaowen, took a glass of water to pick up a glass of water, and then looked at the popularity of the weekend answer of "Learning the Sea".
On the whole, the popularity has remained okay, and it is still growing slowly, but the growth rate has decreased significantly.
Several large companies have followed up to produce answering programs, which still has a certain diversion effect on the popularity of "Learning the Boundless Sea".
The new version of the plan has already been handed over to Director Xie, but it has not been decided whether to do it or not, listening to Director Xie, now Mr. Yu and Mr. Lu attach great importance to the "Learning the Sea" project, and Mr. Yu even proposed to see the new version of the plan of "The Endless Sea", which is also quite fascinating.
Since the new version has not been finalized, then everyone has nothing to do, they should go online, they should chase dramas, the design team has a little simple optimization plan here, and the program has fixed bugs, and the atmosphere of the project team is relatively relaxed.
A tall, thin man in his thirties, dressed in a formal suit and wearing glasses, came in from outside without saying a word, walked around the project team, and left.
Zhong Ming glanced at him, he hadn't seen this person, probably looking for someone? Or is it simply a mistake?
