Hiroyuki Ito and Ye Hua met for the first time, but the other party's words and calm and determined side also made him put away his contemptuous mentality, and constantly warned himself in his heart: the other party is not only a young man, but also the head of the merger and acquisition.

I was relieved to think that it was this young Chinese man in front of me who single-handedly changed the global film industry, and reached a single deal contract with a supergiant like Walt Disney that was twice the market value of Cripton.

In the VIP reception room, Ye Hua's arrival was also ceremoniously received by the other party, and at this time, the two sides sat opposite each other, and Ye Hua was surrounded by five people including Qiao Wei and her acquisition team.

At this time, I saw Hiroyuki Ito take the lead in opening the conversation box, and said: "There is one thing that I don't understand very much, why does Mr. Ye take a fancy to Cripton, I really can't think of any relationship between the two sides, Cripton is a small business, and the turnover of a single transaction of your company is twice the total market value of Cripton, I think you should not look down on Cripton's profit." ”

"And your company is a high-tech company, Cripton is just an Internet content provider, and even to be precise, our content is generated by users, and Cripton's profit point is just a few virtual singer concerts, sales of virtual tickets and live tickets, and sales of a little peripheral products and other small profits, I really can't understand why your company will spend a lot of money on mergers and acquisitions." ”

Hiroyuki Ito's words can be said to put his posture to a very low level, and when he heard this, Ye Hua smiled: "To a large extent, just like Mr. Ito said before, I am a loyal fan of Hatsune Miku, and as a die-hard fan, I will always selfishly want to possess idols alone, this is my starting point." ”

After listening to the translation, Hiroyuki Ito was speechless for a moment, and said in his heart: I would believe if you were an ordinary dead house, but this came out of your mouth as the big boss of a super unicorn company...... Not a single punctuation mark is believed.

In fact, what Ye Hua said is not wrong, but his words are currently incomprehensible to outsiders, for fans of virtual idols, Hatsune Miku, as a virtual singer without a physical body, is not a bug or an estrangement from people, which is precisely her most distinctive feature and foothold.

Hatsune Miku is not like a human star idol, because he is a human being, he will definitely have shortcomings, there will be failures, and there will be times when he makes mistakes, if he connects his identity with them, then when the star fails and when the personality collapses, fans will inevitably feel pain.

Hatsune Miku will never have such a thing, she will never be young, always single, has no historical and political ideas, and will not collapse and quit in the middle of the concert, let alone turn her back on her fans.

Hatsune Miku's biggest advantage is that she will always have zero scandals, and because she is a virtual idol, she has the advantage of never making the mistakes of a human star, which makes her the ideal idol in the minds of fans, freeing people from the disappointment of idol worship and helping them find the ultimate idol.

Therefore, once she becomes a die-hard fan of Hatsune Miku, it is difficult for her to be "taken off" by fans.

And such a cute girl singer is that every fan wants to possess her alone, what Ye Hua has to do is to help the fans of these virtual idols realize their greatest wishes, satisfy their desire for possession in their hearts, and make the virtual idols they worship and love become home girls, which is simply 100% lethal for dead house fans.

And at this moment, Hiroyuki Ito replied no, and if he didn't answer, it would be very uncomfortable, Ye Hua smiled leisurely, and for the first time, he said with a serious demeanor and tone:

"We carefully studied your company's operation model with virtual idols as the core, and we found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, many creators appear out of nowhere, many of them are users' works, and the video is shared on YouTube or NicoNico animation, and then the 'invisible hand' will naturally complete the rest ......of the process."

Hiroyuki Ito nodded and said, "That's right, because we have opened up the Creative Commons license, or CC license, for Hatsune Miku, which allows the distribution of copyrighted works.

"Hatsune is not like Mickey Mouse, she is not under the tight control of the company behind her, Cripton is responsible for the funding, but not the control. If the user wants to draw a portrait of Hatsune and send it to a friend after the drawing, this behavior is encouraged by the company, and the user will not be charged for using Hatsune's image, in fact, this is the core of Hatsune's concept when Miku Hatsune first appeared, and she can be anyone in the user's fantasy. ”

Speaking of this, Hiroyuki Ito said proudly, "Hatsune has indeed done it, and a large number of users have started to use her voice to create original songs, as well as 'cover' versions of their favorite songs. Users create their own images of Hatsune, create their own music videos for Hatsune's music, and post them on YouTube or NicoNico anime. In Los Angeles, there is even a paper tearing art class with the theme of Hatsune Miku, and there are many forms of expression related to Hatsune, which are endless, and everything is out of the company's control from the very beginning......"

"To do this, we often need to track the user's activity and see what the user is doing with her. Hatsune's 'business' has developed to this point, and it is no longer just software or avatars. She has become a channel for the release of her works, a form of communication. She's not a hot video per se, but sometimes a popular video has the name of Hatsune, and all of Hatsune's 'work' and performances come from users, and her music barely passes through our hands, which does feel strange at times......"

Hiroyuki Ito gushes endlessly, showing that he is indeed proud and proud, and at the same time, it also shows how much he cherishes this avatar that has taken more than ten years to create.

When he said this, Ye Hua suddenly snapped his fingers lightly, nodded again and again, and said, "This is the fundamental reason why I fancy Cripton and Hatsune Miku, Mr. Ito." Hatsune is the ultimate idol for fans and goes crazy for it. Hatsune is also a tool, a channel, a source of inspiration, an ultimate icon, and most importantly...... A prototype of ecology. ”

"Shoreline has the strength to enrich this ultimate icon, enrich this channel, enrich this tool and source of inspiration, and enrich this community ecology, expanding this community from the Internet to the home, so as to integrate into the ultimate ecosystem created by Coastline and become one of the chains."

"After all, Mr. Ito, what do you think fans will choose between a Hatsune figure and a holographic avatar that can bounce around in front of you and chat with you? If it were you, would you choose the former or the latter? ”

Hearing this, Hiroyuki Ito said without thinking: "Of course it's the latter." ”

Before the words fell, Hiroyuki Ito, who was half a beat slower to react, seemed to have guessed something, and immediately looked at Ye Hua in shock, and exclaimed: "Mr. Ye, this is true?" Has your company developed a personal consumer-grade holographic technology product? ”

Ye Hua smiled slightly and said ambiguously: "The progress is good at present, but it is only a matter of time before it is realized, and we are full of confidence." Actually, we also had plans to create a virtual idol from scratch, but this plan has been put on hold for so far, because as I said before, I am a big fan of Hatsune, and she is her first love, which has a different meaning, so I really want to bring home Her Royal Highness the World's No. 1 Princess. ”

The last sentence came out, which calmed down the shocked Hiroyuki Ito, and deeply doubted whether what Ye Hua said was true or false, in short, it was impossible to distinguish between true and false for a while.

After all, there is no evidence, and God knows if he is bragging or something else, unless he witnesses it with his own eyes.

Because you're a big fan, you want to bring Hatsune home because it's like first love?

Such a pure purpose?

First love?

Hehe...

Even if he is really a fan of Hatsune, but from his mouth as the helmsman of a company, it is good to listen to it, it can be regarded as humor, but it must not be taken seriously, and if it is serious, it will be Shi Lezhi.
