Chapter 284 [Meeting the Head of Sony]
[Thanks and more for "where is her ♂"]
——
"What kind of amazing technology is this?"
"Nani??"
"Even buy karma, is this the legendary holographic projection technology? Has technology advanced to such an exaggerated level? ”
"Ahhh
"The scene must be amazing, envy, jealousy and hate!"
"I'm cute, the old man's girl's heart~~"
"The people who go to the scene are true love fans."
"Bluestar Technology's Fraud [Broken Voice] !!"
"Miku-chan Saigao!!"
……
The online fan audience, some domestic fans gathered on the Blue Star video website, many fans of Yuben gathered on the Niconico website, and fans and viewers in Europe and the United States gathered on the international version of BluestarVideo to watch the live broadcast of Hatsune Miku's first virtual concert.
When the virtual idol made its debut at the concert, it amazed every witness, and the fans and audience at the scene were the most shocked, never expecting to far exceed the highest expectations in their hearts several times.
Hatsune Miku's rendering technology is so powerful that everyone immediately thought that Bluestar Technology had applied black technology such as holographic projection to the concert.
The media who came to the scene didn't care about these, and released news to the public as soon as possible, and the keywords were "virtual concert", "holographic projection? and other eye-popping words.
However, the media in charge still put a question mark, after all, the official did not come out to confirm it.
But it is enough to attract the attention of people inside and outside the circle, especially the technology industry.
However, for the fans and viewers who came to the scene, they are now fully immersed in this virtual concert, enthusiastically waving the light sticks in their hands and cheering for the virtual singer idol on the stage.
……
"Mr. He, some media reports seem to be wrong, and many media news have mistakenly thought that we have applied holographic projection technology in the concert, which is a bit more and more realistic, should we issue an announcement to clarify?"
At this moment, the concert is underway, and the project leader He Chao is secretly observing in the background, and the feedback from the scene makes him very satisfied.
Hearing what the assistant who came over to report to him said, He Chao, who was secretly observing the concert scene, immediately stopped: "No, the official should not issue any announcements or responses for the time being, just let its public opinion ferment freely, this is a great opportunity to get out of the circle." ”
While speaking, He Chao couldn't help laughing and said: "Suspected holographic projection technology, do you want to kill this kind of free publicity exposure with your own hands?" Silly? Don't worry about it, just observe, and we're almost disclosing the technical details of the concert through official channels. ”
"Understood!"
With the acquiescence of the official, the topic of Hatsune Miku's virtual concert suspected of using holographic projection technology is detonating, so that the popularity of this concert has gradually spread outward from the second Yuan circle, more and more media attention reports, and people in the technology community can't sit still.
Holographic technology.
This legendary god-level high-end display technology suddenly appeared, suspected of appearing at a virtual concert, and the media hyped it up in order to win attention, and the official of Bluestar Technology did not come out to make a sound, let it ferment, and it became more and more divine for a while.
The exposure of Hatsune Miku, a virtual idol brand and virtual concert, soared outside the circle in a short period of time, becoming the hottest topic at the moment, which was an unexpected joy for the operation department.
There is no doubt that this is very beneficial, and Hatsune Miku's popularity has also increased to a higher level, allowing more people to know about the existence of "her", and the number of fans is growing rapidly.
During the concert at this moment, the fans and audiences inside and outside the venue were crazy calls for their favorite "Her Royal Highness the World's First Princess", but He Chao, the person in charge of this project, watched backstage for a while and left silently.
On the way back to the temporary office of this office, he casually asked the assistant who followed him: "How are the virtual tickets for the concert being sold?" As of now. ”
The assistant immediately replied: "The overall performance is far beyond expectations, and the market performance is the most eye-catching, with the number of virtual tickets purchased on the Niconico website has reached 43,700, followed by the number of subscriptions on BluestarVideo has also reached 18,700." ”
He Chao couldn't be too satisfied with this kind of data when he heard this, it was indeed unexpected by their operation department, because it was estimated that the number of subscriptions on the Niconico video website should be about 20,000, but he didn't expect it to more than double directly, and the estimate of the BV video website focusing on Europe and the United States was 12,000, which also exceeded expectations.
Judging from the available sales data, the popularity of virtual singers in Yuben far exceeds that of other regions.
43,700 virtual tickets sold on the Niconico website generated sales of 314 million yen, or about $3.05 million, and 18,700 virtual tickets were sold on the BV video website, generating sales of $1.122 million.
Such sales data is not even a fraction of a fraction of a fraction
But it is still enough to make He Chao's operation team excited, the significance of this figure is not how much money they make, but how much prospect they have.
Obviously, the performance far beyond expectations makes the "virtual idol" project very imaginative in the future, with continuous development and hard work, the harvest is no longer in the present but in the future.
In fact, $3.05 million and $1.122 million are definitely not the final sales of virtual tickets for this concert, and they will continue to generate revenue in the future.
Like those Hollywood movie giants, their films make a lot of money just by licensing.
Videos of the concert will always be posted on the site, and new users who want to watch them back will need to purchase virtual tickets to unlock them, and sales will continue to generate revenue as long as Hatsune Miku's fan base grows.
As the brand continues to operate for a long time, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, and it will hardly cost much money, and in turn, the profits will become more and more considerable.
The performance that far exceeded expectations also greatly increased the confidence of the "virtual idol" operation team, and the location of Hatsune Miku's second concert is about to come out, and it has now been confirmed that it will be in North America, but the specific city is still being chosen.
……
Hatsune Miku is taking off a wave of virtual idols, with thousands of dead houses craving a virtual singer, making it difficult for outsiders to understand, especially those in the IT world.
In the eyes of some programmers, it's just a string of code.
What about these dead houses......
But this is the status quo, not liking doesn't mean others don't like it, and the dead house has no resistance to this virtual girl.
And Luo Sheng is still in Tokyo has not left, the biggest purpose of his trip is to talk with Sony about whether the Cell chip business can be bought, so far, the heads of the two sides have not officially met and discussed, but sent someone to visit Sony first to express the intention to acquire.
After learning the news that the Cote d'Azur was interested in buying the Cell chip business, Sony's top management was very surprised.
After the two sides contacted, on the afternoon of the third day of Luo Sheng's arrival in Tokyo, the helmsmen of the two sides formally met in a business hotel for talks.
Three years ago, he handed over the position of Sony's CEO to Howard Stringer, then 63, and the British, who joined Sony in 1997, for many years in charge of entertainment divisions such as film and music.
Sony and Wai are generally skeptical of Idei's decision.
After all, the name Sony is a symbol of the manufacturing industry, and it is inconceivable to hand over such a position as a family member to someone who has completely two cultures.
In the vanity fair of business, few people do not hesitate to go out for the company's goals, others say that this is helpless and frustrated, but Luo Sheng saw from it that Nobuyuki Idei is extremely confident and fearless.
Sony's change of leadership is different from the passive change of leadership due to the change of major shareholders, but it is completely out of the full promotion of Nobuyuki Idei. In the context of the strong culture of this country, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a result without the resolute spirit of "even if you die" and the calmness of planning and moving.
It also makes sense that the Japanese electronics giant was able to stand on the brink of a string of bankruptcies.
According to the annual report released on May 15 this year, Nobuyuki Idei can finally breathe a sigh of relief, and the profits of Sony's main electronic products business have doubled, surpassing Panasonic, and regaining the top spot in the electronics company.
However, this is not good news for Luo Sheng, who wants to acquire Sony's Cell business, which means that Sony indirectly has greater bargaining power.
Sony was still in a bankruptcy turmoil a few years ago, but now this tone has eased up and survived the crisis, which has also brought certain variables to Luo Sheng's acquisition of Cell's chip business.
At this time, sitting opposite Luo Sheng was an Englishman, that is, Howard Stringer, the current head of Sony, and the eyes of the two sides were looking at each other without avoidance.
For the young man sitting in front of him, who is only one-third of his age, the 66-year-old Howard does not have any contempt for this tech and business tycoon.
