The next day, the bright era, the general manager's office.

"You're going to the Wa Kingdom?" Su Luo looked at Gu Cancan with surprise in his eyes.

Gu Cancan smiled brightly: "Yes, the July and Ansheng crew have Cao Jiankui staring at the formation, and I am also relieved." ”

Su Luo held her forehead with her hand, and she had already experienced Gu Cancan's jumping thinking and willful decision, but she still felt very sudden when she wanted to go to the Wa Kingdom, "Who told you about the formation of the crew, why did you go to the Wa Kingdom?" ”

Gu Cancan hadn't mentioned it to Su Luo before about the virtual singer, and it was normal for her to have this question now, Gu Cancan popularized the concept of the virtual singer to Su Luo.

"So, Cancan, you want to be the first to launch our country's own virtual singer in China, this virtual idol?" Su Luo thought and said.

Gu Cancan said: "Yes, I already have a complete idea about the creation of virtual singers. ”

Su Luo crossed his hands, tapped his little thumb on the table rhythmically, and asked his own question: "So where is the profit point of this virtual singer?" ”

This question went straight to the core, and Gu Cancan suddenly fell into a state of stagnation.

Indeed, in the original time and space, Luo Tianyi Le Zheng Ayayan and other images belong to Angel Henian Entertainment Group, when Gu Cancan crossed, Angel Henian has tried to commercially operate virtual singers to hold concerts, and cooperate with real singers, Luo Tianyi has also cooperated with Hunan Satellite TV, the strongest variety show in China, and Angel Henian is working hard to tap the commercial value of virtual singers. To be honest, in the poor music environment in China, only idolization can bring benefits, and the UGC model of selling peripheral albums alone cannot return to the cost at all. At the end of the day, soundbank production companies can't rely on love to generate electricity, they always want to make money.

It's just that now Gu Cancan has no financial pressure, she wants to develop those familiar virtual singers in the original time and space, the original intention is because she likes it, she doesn't want Luo Tianyi and other characters to be annoyed and scolded because of some embarrassing business activities.

However, if you want to develop and promote virtual singers, you need a lot of money and resources, and the angel He Nian in the original time and space also slowly promoted the virtual singers through multiple financings, so there are some eagerness to return the funds later, and the appearance is a little ugly.

Su Luo, as the general manager and shareholder of the bright era, now Gu Cancan is proposing a new project, and she is not Luo Tianyi's fan who uses love to generate electricity, the first thing to consider must be the input-output ratio and where the profits come from.

Gu Cancan fell into deep thought, and tried to say for a while: "Can you sell peripherals such as plush toys and dolls?" In addition, when the number of fans of the virtual singer reaches a certain number, can she make film and television dramas or participate in some programs? ”

Hey, isn't this number the same as Angel He Nian, Gu Cancan's mood is inexplicably complicated.

Su Luo rubbed his forehead, glanced at Gu Cancan helplessly, sighed and said, "Cancan, you usually stay in the company, and you should have a basic understanding of the company's operation." Yes, the bright era is your family, but as a professional manager, I have to say that the project is not decided by patting the head, the virtual singer you are talking about, it costs a lot of money, how to promote, do you have a plan in mind? Do you have a plan? Have you examined the market outlook? ”

Gu Cancan, who asked three questions in a row, couldn't answer any of them. Yesterday, after Gu Cancan learned that Yamaha officially launched the V family, all she was thinking about was how to buy this sound source software smoothly, how to create virtual singers such as Luo Tianyi, and she really didn't think much about how to operate.

Su Luo does not have the memory of the future like Gu Cancan, Gu Cancan knows that virtual singers such as Luo Tianyi will be very popular, but Su Luo is not clear, and there is nothing wrong with her considering these from a business point of view.

After a while, Gu Cancan said slowly: "Sister Su Luo, it's normal for you to have these questions, and it's also to blame me for not making it clear, or rather, not explaining to you the concept of Yamaha's VOCALOID and virtual singers." ”

"VOCALOID is a speech synthesis software for electronic music production, where we can input tones and lyrics to synthesize songs with human voices. It is a collection of specimens of the human voice and then a library of singing voices. In fact, VOCALOID itself does not have a singing database, and the actual version that can be used can be developed separately. We bought this software, made a sound source database, and then launched our own virtual singer. ”

Su Luo nodded: "I can understand this, the key is Cancan, why are you so sure that the virtual singer you said will be popular with people?" I feel like you have unparalleled confidence in this virtual singer. ”

As for why some people like virtual singers and virtual idols, there will be many people in the original time and space who have this question. If you like it, you will like it, and if you don't like it, Amway will disdain it.

Gu Cancan remembered the days when he was crazy about Luo Tianyi, and couldn't help but show a nostalgic smile on his face and said: "People hope that idols are the most beautiful and perfect. Like perfection is actually people's most eternal pursuit, but real stars are flesh-and-blood living people, they have their own joys, sorrows, and personality habits, maybe one day something scandalous and the character will collapse. ”

Su Luo nodded, agreeing with this statement.

Gu Cancan continued: "But virtual idols don't have these problems. They will not have lip-synching, the tunes they sing will never be out of tune, there will be no scandals, they will never get old, they will always be young and beautiful, they can become idols that will never change in many people's hearts, there are beautiful girlfriends in fantasy, and all kinds of fantasy virtual singers can be satisfied. ”

Su Luo was thoughtful, Gu Cancan struck while the iron was hot and continued: "And the virtual singer is very technological, Sister Su Luo, don't you think the concept of the virtual singer is actually very cool?" My idea is that when the time comes, we will open up the platform of virtual singers, so that all those who like arranging and love arranging can participate, and there can be many kinds of songs sung at that time, which can meet the needs of most people for music. ”

Her words seemed to clear a fog in Su Luo's mind, Su Luo's eyes lit up, from a business point of view, if the virtual singer can attract a certain number of arrangers, can launch a few excellent songs with a high degree of popularity, and the bright era is guided by the trend, it can indeed promote the concept of virtual singer smoothly, even if the copyright of the song is not in hand, but the image of the virtual singer belongs to the bright era, and it is the virtual singer who will be famous at that time.

"Cancan, do you know anything about the price of VOCALOID software?" Su Luo began to ask specific questions.

Don't look at Gu Cancan, she talks about the advantages of virtual singers, but when it comes to the price of V's software, she has no idea in her heart. However, in her vague memory, it seems that VOCALOID, a software that includes the sound source library of virtual singers, is actually not expensive, a little impression, and it seems that a few thousand dollars can be done. But that's 10 years later, and now that Yamaha has just launched VOCALOID, the actual price should be relatively high, but it won't be exaggerated to hundreds of thousands, right?

Gu Cancan's heart turned around for a few years, and said with a smile: "Sister Su Luo, the specific price has to go to the Wa Kingdom to actually understand, but it shouldn't be too expensive, at most tens of thousands of yuan." ”

Gu Cancan deliberately overstated the amount.

This price made Su Luo breathe a sigh of relief, if it was only tens of thousands, it would not hurt to buy it even if it had no actual effect, it would be regarded as Gu Cancan who bought a slightly expensive toy.

"Specifically, what kind of sales method Yamaha practiced can only be understood when we go to the Japanese country. The key is that I want the exclusive sales rights of Huaxia, so as to ensure the purity and uniqueness of the virtual singer, and there will be no strange images. ”

Su Luo didn't care too much about this, she turned back to the topic just now and said: "The preliminary preparations for July and Ansheng are almost ready, and filming will start in a week at most." If you go to Japan now, even if you apply for a tourist visa, I am afraid it will take a week or two, so I am afraid that the time will conflict with the shooting. ”

This is also a problem, it was Gu Cancan's decision to go to the Japanese country by patting his head, in fact, in addition to several countries in Southeast Asia to apply for visas super fast or visa-free, to go to the Japanese countries and other countries, the time period for applying for a visa is not short, even if it is a tourist visa, it will take ten days and half a month, and by then July and Ansheng have already started filming, this movie Gu Cancan still wants to direct himself, and plans to finish filming before the start of the Chinese opera, and the time is quite tight.

Gu Cancan was also a little worried, no matter what, VOCALOID must be won, or, entrust someone else to do it? But I also want to meet my old friend Wu Neixun, and I also want to take this opportunity to see the customs of the Wa Kingdom and see with my own eyes whether the Wa Kingdom is so good on the Internet.

Reality is always a distance away from the ideal, and Gu Cancan is really a little entangled.

After a pause, Gu Cancan said, "Anyway, let's get the visa first." If you go to the Japanese country, our legal counsel will go, and besides, Miss Mizakura will go with me. By the way, the Wa Kingdom is actually quite fond of our Chinese classical musical instruments, and the three of them will order musical instruments more or less in Girls' Generation, or why don't we simply contact the company over there and let Girls' Generation hold a concert? Anyway, the acceptance of idol groups from other countries is still okay, and idol groups in the country of the base country are very popular in the country. So theoretically, as long as our combination is good enough, we can also gain a foothold in the Japanese country. ”

The more Gu Cancan thought about it, the more he felt that it was feasible, and his whole eyes were shining.

Su Luo looked at Gu Cancan's expression, felt that Gu Cancan's face was glowing at the moment, and sighed in his heart that Gu Cancan was really getting more and more beautiful, and said in his mouth: "Cancan, you are so idealistic." The fame of the three of them in Girls' Generation is still only a third-rate level in our Huaxia, although I am very confident in their future, but now I am going to hold a concert in the country? Cancan, you really dare to think that they are afraid that they don't have a fan of the Japanese country, and you actually want to go to a concert, but you are afraid that the cost of the concert will not even be heard. ”

Gu Cancan touched his eyebrows, thinking that people who have always been rational in their words are really annoying, so don't you look forward to the future?

"In fact, the three of them have to have an image, they have to sing skills, eh, and their singing skills are okay, now there is only one opportunity left, I think when their album comes out, it may become an instant hit."

Wang Chang, Jin Weili, Zhou Momo, and the three of them are about to release their first albums, with the quality of this album, Gu Cancan believes that as long as it works properly, the three girls are likely to use this album to become an instant hit.

After all, this album Indonesia has three classic songs that have been tested in the original time and space that she exclusively contributed, all of which have been opened by Gu Cancan, and they are not popular, and heaven does not tolerate it.

It's just that she has always thought about the domestic market before, and has never moved the mind of the foreign market, but at this moment, she is moving in her heart. In fact, it is very tolerant of foreign singers and actors, and Andy Lau Chenglong and Li Lianjie are very popular in the country, including various men's and women's teams in the country of base, and they also have a lot of fans in the country.

Gu Cancan's girlhood has both strength and appearance, and if he is promoted and operated in the Japanese country, he will not gain a considerable number of fans.

Gu Cancan's brain told the operation at this time, and deduced this possibility in his mind.

Su Luo was also thinking about this. At first, her first reaction was impossible, because in the history of the Chinese entertainment industry, no girl group has become popular in the Japanese country. But after carefully analyzing the situation in the Wa Kingdom, in fact, the operation of Girls' Generation is properly promoted, and there is actually a market in the Wa Kingdom.

"This matter needs to be considered in the long run, and let's see the feedback after their album is released in China." Su Luo set the tone.

Gu Cancan nodded in agreement, Girlhood rushed out of the country to go to the Japanese country, this is just a temporary idea of her, even if she really wants to implement this decision, it will take a certain amount of time to promote it in the Japanese country, and when she has a certain popularity, she can only consider the concert matter.

"But I think it's very feasible. Now the Waguo's own girl group is in a stage of scarcity, as long as our girlhood shows the corresponding strength, there is still a market in the Waguo, after all, the Waguo has a high acceptance of foreign star artists, as long as they have strength. Gu Cancan remembered that the Women's Twelve Orchestra was exported to domestic sales after the Great Glory of the Japanese Kingdom.

"Well, that's a long-term plan. I recommend applying for a business visa, which may take a little longer, but there will be no mistakes with a business visa. ”

Gu Cancan said decisively: "Then apply for a business visa." Let's talk about it after it is done, the crew will be filming, and the time can always be arranged when the time comes, and we will talk about it when the time comes. It's okay if I don't go. ”

"Well, I'll have people arrange the personnel and visas." Su Luo should go down.

The matter about the V family and the virtual singer is also finalized.
