Chapter 108: Someone Can't Sleep

"Welcome to my concert, yay! The show will go on, and a good friend has accepted my invitation, she's a big star, and I'm so excited that she can come to my concert. Hatsune Miku on stage expressed his excitement dancing with his hands, and his cute side seemed to be eager to introduce it to the fans.

With the support of motion capture technology, all the movements of Hatsune in the venue did not have any sense of rigidity, and the anthropomorphism was incomparably smooth and natural, just like a living person, and so cute and cute.

The audience in the audience immediately shook the LED light stick in their hands, and they all smiled knowingly, this national virtual tour is the theme of "Gemini", so they naturally know who the big star Hatsune Miku is talking about.

"Applause to Luo Tianyi!" Hatsune's voice went up, and she looked back at the stage with excitement and cuteness, her hands curled in front of her.

Suddenly, the audience excitedly ushered in the Nth cheer, waving the LED light stick in their hands, and many Luo Tianyi fans on the scene were also the most excited at this moment, and finally saw the idol in their hearts.

The camera and lights suddenly focused on the position at the back of the stage midfield.

I saw a girl with gray hair, green eyes, jasper hair ornaments, and a Chinese knot hanging on her waist elegantly appeared, her image was soft and cute, gentle and delicate, and a little natural.

It was Luo Tianyi.

Nowadays, there are many virtual singers, and in recent years, they have sprung up, but there are only two who are really successful, that is, Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi, and only the two of them can bring profits to the company, while other virtual idol projects are all loss-making.

Now, they are all incorporated under the Coastline Company, and it can be said that having the "Tianyin Twins" is equivalent to forming an absolute dominance in the industry.

At this moment, the fans at the scene also waved glow sticks indulgently when they saw their idols appearing, and the atmosphere was extremely hot.

Luo Tianyi's image model has also ushered in an epic upgrade, her upgrade optimization and Hatsune are at the same level, as for the other members of the V family, whether it is Cripton Future Media or Henian Information Technology Co., Ltd., they are extremely cautious.

Money...

The upgrade and optimization costs of Luo Tianyi and Hatsune have reached the sky-high price of tens of millions of dollars, and if other virtual singers are launched on the market, if they fail, it will be the rhythm of blood loss to the bottom pants.

In this regard, both companies are extremely cautious, especially Henian Company, which is far less abundant in capital than Cripton, and can achieve the same upgrade and optimization for Luo Tianyi as Hatsune, which is completely dependent on the comprehensive support of the parent company Coastline in terms of capital and technology.

For the first time, the coastline injected 80 million yuan into He Nian, and seventy or eighty percent of this fund was used in Luo Tianyi's epic upgrade, but there were two more times later, and the parent company delivered a total of about 200 million yuan of financing for it, and then it had to rely on He Nian to be self-reliant.

If Luo Tianyi was still operated by them, Ye Hua would not be giving them a new life, and would directly split He Nian and merge it into Cripton's Future Media.

At the venue, Luo Tianyi and Hatsune left the country in the same frame, and the "Gemini" on the same stage was the theme of this concert, which instantly pushed the atmosphere of the venue to a new peak.

"Wow, Hatsune, can I ask for your autograph? I love your new album so much. Luo Tianyi is like seeing an idol, cute and cute.

As a rising star of virtual singers, she has a great longing for the legendary Vocaloid predecessors who have made history in the human world in the past, and dreams that she will one day become a singer who can use her singing voice to convey emotion and happiness to others, and now Luo Tianyi has realized this dream.

Now, the same frame of "Gemini" is definitely a turning point in the history of virtual singers.

"Of course you can, but you need to give me your autograph!" Hatsune Miku said with a playful and cute smile.

Next, the music sounded again, and the "Gemini" theme concert has only officially started now!

……

For the fans at the scene, time always passes so quickly, and it will be 15:00 in a moment, and the concert will end before you know it.

The fans who walked out of the venue were also unsatisfied, many of them were very excited, and some fans even had tickets for today's night show, ready to brush up on a second wave.

The exhibition goes on and on, and ends at 19:00 in the evening, which is early.

The fans who came out of the venue were followed by a burst of buying, and the organizers had already prepared the peripherals, and the fancy money fraud began.

In short, many fans are buying, buying, buying before leaving the big stage of Shangdu!

Coming to the scene, it must be the biggest regret not to wash a round of peripheral souvenirs back, which is also related to the marketing model of the organizers, these peripherals can only be bought at the concert and at the exhibition.

After the virtual concert of the matinees, the community forum exploded, and all the comments were all positive, the only bad comment was not to be able to go to the scene.

It can be said that word of mouth exploded.

The fans who went to the scene were also active in the forum community after the concert, and the long posts of various on-site experience sharing were constantly published in the community, and the fans had high enough expectations for the "Gemini" theme tour, but the surprise given to them by the organizers still far exceeded everyone's expectations.

The explosive word-of-mouth and fans who went to the site were automatically recommended as "tap water" in the forum community, which further drove the sales of virtual tickets.

Bilibili.tv background data shows that there has been a small peak in the growth of the number of users, and a large number of fans from other stations have entered station B in order to watch the online video of the virtual concert.

It is worth mentioning that with the explosive word-of-mouth fermentation, there are a lot of posts on the Tieba forum to share help resources, which are strictly controlled by Coastline Company, Henian, Cripton Future Media, and Bilibili.tv.

True love fans can also see that the whole concert is frantically spreading the taste of "krypton gold", coupled with the previous publicity offensive, the organizer's investment is absolutely astronomical.

If the blood is lost, then this tour may be the last.

Naturally, I hope that the organizers can make money, and they will continue to hold such high-level concerts in the future, which is also a spontaneous resistance for those free parties who have no sense of copyright, and the power of the masses is strong.

At the same time, I also have to mention the network anti-piracy technology provided by the coastline company, the official genuine video resources of the concert are actually in the cloud of the coastline company, and the video of station B actually accesses the cloud of the coastline in the background, and completes the access to realize streaming media.

However, this method can only ensure that the official genuine source will not flow out, but it can't prevent someone from using video recording tools, and the stupidest way is to buy a virtual ticket and then use a mobile phone or something to record it.

However, in today's environment, people's awareness of copyright has become better than ever, and most of the real house fans belong to the kind of "home mine", the organizers severely cracked down on the sharing of pirated resources, strengthened the awareness of genuine publicity, and also organized and planned concert specials, so as to convey to the outside how much cost the organizers invested to hold this concert and so on.

It is impossible to crack down on all pirated resources, but we have done our best to ensure that copyright is protected from many aspects.

And this strongest virtual concert in history is not only popular in the circle, but also outside the circle, and the powerful holographic technology is also popular in the technology circle, and it has caused a heated discussion on the Internet.

And some people are starting to lose sleep.

……

Microsoft headquarters, Redmond, HSD, USA, Western Hemisphere.

It's early in the morning in Redmond, and at the same time, the commercial capital on the other side of the Pacific Ocean has just entered 19:00, and the night of the virtual concert has lasted for half an hour.

There is a 12-hour time difference between the two places.

At this time, in a conference room at Microsoft's headquarters, Microsoft's current CEO, Satya Nadella, and a group of key executives and senior technical engineers were present.

A large screen in the conference room was showing the opening scene of a virtual concert, when the screen was frozen, and then a short clip was taken and repeated.

A technical engineer next to the screen pointed to the "luminous snowflakes" in the air waved by an audience member in the video, and said: "There is no doubt that this cannot be CGI real-time calculation, this is the result of real-time human-computer interaction. ”

Speaking of this, he looked at CEO Nadella and added: "There is no planning team in the world that has such a strong planning and organization ability, which can only show that this is the spontaneous behavior of the audience with curiosity, without entering instructions, just a touch can interact with the graphic display, there is only one explanation for this situation......"

"Operating system!"
