0108 Shocking surprise
"Chu Fangjun, Ms. Ning Ning, welcome to Japan again."
As soon as Chu Fang and his party appeared in the airport hall, they were immediately discovered by the reception staff on the Japanese side -- after all, the person in charge of the reception on Kadokawa's side was their "old friend" Miss Hotaru Sugida.
However, in addition to the Kadokawa Group, they were greeted by the V-family, a singing synthesizer technology released by the Yamaha Group and an application based on this technology, VOCALOID, and Hatsune Miku is a virtual singer developed by the voice and music software company CRYPTON using the second version of VOCALOID.
Although CRYPTON, the actual developer of Hatsune Miku, is a small software company that was originally unknown, the name of the Yamaha Group should be said to be known to everyone, and the total capital of the world's largest musical instrument manufacturer is dozens of times more than that of the Kadokawa Group.
The co-emergence of CRYPTON and Yamaha Group also confirms the well-known theory of "background" and "relationship" that Chu Fang and Ning Ning are familiar with - a small company that originally had no background and relationship, once it has gone to shit luck and starts to make a lot of money, it must take the initiative to find a background and relationship for itself, so as to at least ensure that the company can continue to exist independently, otherwise it will only be torn apart and devoured by many carnivores.
“…… In order to welcome you all of you, we have prepared a surprise for you this time.
Now please go out with me, Chu Fang and Ning Ning please come to our side, and let Sister Misaka and Yuki walk in the front. ”
After the people of the V family finished introducing themselves to Chu Fang and his party. Miss Hotaru Sugita, who has been upgraded to the "Director General of Reception", personally leads them to the gate of the terminal, but this time she strangely invites Sister Misaka and Ariki to the front. Although Chu Fang didn't know what Miss Sugita Hotaru was selling, he didn't object. So the Almighty Angels, who had been walking an inch, obediently walked to the front of the line.
"This—This is ......"
Out of the terminal, Chu Fang knew why Miss Sugita Hotaru let him and Ning Ning walk beside him, because there were a group of people standing outside in the dark, so that all the people who walked out of the gate were lined up one by one, but fortunately, these people lined up in four columns in an orderly manner, and let out the road from the airport to the outside world.
And the reason why Chu Fang immediately understood the surprise that Kadokawa had prepared for them as soon as he saw this situation - because at the front of these four columns were a large banner with standing paintings of Misaka's sister, Yuki, Hatsune and black cat, and there were also large Japanese kanji "Misaka Life", "Nagato Life", "Hatsune Life", and "Black Cat Life" written vertically next to it.
Under the banner of "Misakamei", there is also a glasses otaku that Ning Ning feels a little familiar, and he has a headband of "Misakamei" tied to his head. Even if he wears a thick winter coat, his thin body still looks like a hemp pole, but his whole person looks energetic, not at all like a decadent otaku who is despised and ridiculed.
But this is also normal, after all, he is famous throughout Japan for the image of a "kneeling man", and has become the spokesperson of the otaku's "positive energy".
But his love for anime characters and his sister Misaka has not changed, as the head of Sister Misaka's fan group, he and other officers of the fan group today. Together with the staff of the Kadokawa Group, it took a few hours before the die-hard fans who were secretly summoned and quietly gathered outside Narita Airport to greet Misaka's sister were organized.
There are three more teams like this. Each branch is 10,000 people, and it has been organized by secret contacts on the Internet until today, and of course, the Kadokawa Group has secretly made some efforts to keep this "secret" from being leaked by the media in advance.
However, it is absolutely impossible to keep all these 40,000 fans secret. As a result, there were 100,000 fans who came from other places to bring their own dry food - mainly because the winter Comi, which is about to begin tomorrow, has attracted otaku from all over Japan and even the world to participate in the "holy war". Even if their "natal life" is another anime character, it doesn't prevent them from joining in the fun today.
The time, the place, the people. Kadokawa Group's promotional plan this time is really fantastic, it didn't cost a lot of money to create a huge sensation, and it was more skilled than Chu Fang, who only planned to use Winter Comi to promote the game "Legend of the Galactic Heroes".
But even if Chu Fang has this heart, he doesn't have the manpower and material resources network to complete such a huge organizational work, as a small company, he is so helpless, even if he thinks of any good ideas, he may not have the conditions for implementation.
"Misaka, Yuki, Hatsune, Black Cat, remove the disguise and say hello to everyone!"
Looking at the four long dragons waiting quietly outside, Chu Fang took a deep breath and gave his Almighty Angels his first work order after coming to Japan.
Although according to Chu Fang's contract with the Kadokawa Group, he has the right to refuse any work that he thinks is inappropriate, and he can completely skip this kind of publicity work without his prior consent and take the Almighty Angels to the hotel to rest, but the enthusiasm of the fans touched him and made him willingly cooperate with this propaganda plan of the Kadokawa Group.
After receiving Chu Fang's instructions, the four almighty angels took off their hats and glasses, took off their long coats, and revealed their identical appearance to the anime characters.
Although after Sister Misaka, there are also many high-quality Cosplayers on the Internet, and there are more than a dozen Cosers who are particularly similar to the "original", but like the four girls signed by Chu Fang, there is no Coser who has directly crossed over from the two-dimensional world.
This situation is actually a little suspicious, even if Chu Fang claims to take the boutique route of the boutique, and only selected these most similar cosplayers from millions of resumes, but there are still people who suspect that he is actually cooperating with a top plastic surgery agency, and some people suspect that these Cosers are actually the "deities" who have crossed over from another world, but these doubters have no evidence to prove it.
- After all, in addition to Chu Fang, other brokerage companies have also used the hype to bring out some Cosers who are "exactly the same" as the anime characters, but in terms of quality, they can't reach the "recognized" grade of the girls signed by Chu Fang, and they can only fool some guys who like to follow the crowd without comparison.
However, since there are other people who also look like some anime characters, it can't be proved that the Cosplayer found by Chu Fang is from another world, he may have given his contracted Coser a little facelift, but it is undeniable that Chu Fang's "vision" is particularly good, he can find the person who is most like, and he also knows how to have plastic surgery to make the anime character feel, which is the most important thing - of course, Chu Fang has never admitted the title of "plastic surgery master".
"Mina-Aligado-!"
After handing over their disguised glasses and clothes to the reception staff who were helping them carry their luggage, Hatsune Miku, the virtual singer who was most experienced in this kind of scene, jumped to the front of the terminal gate, and waved her arms vigorously at the fans who stood on the stage-like steps and greeted them enthusiastically.
Her very penetrating crisp voice came far away without any amplification equipment, and quickly woke up the four sleeping dragons, and the team of "Hatsune Life" immediately became excited when they heard this familiar voice, and the captain who took the lead immediately pulled up the banner and waved it desperately towards Hatsune on the steps, while the team members behind him raised the green onion-shaped glow stick in their hands at the same time, and cheered loudly in unison:
"Hatsune! Hatsune! Hatsune! ”
Not to be outdone, the other three teams of fans present were also not to be outdone, although Misaka Sister, Ariki and Kurota just stood silently next to Hatsune and waved their hands to their respective fan teams, but they still waved their flags with great excitement, and held up the original light novel with them as the cover in their hands, waving them towards the terminal in unison, shouting their names with a loud voice over Hatsune's team.
"Misaka! Misaka! Misaka! ”
"Nagato! Nagato! Nagato! ”
"Black cat! Black cat! Black cat! ”
"Uh...... Why do I have the illusion that these fans below are actually holding the 'Red Book' in their hands......"
Chu Fang, who was hiding in the reception staff line with Ning Ning, looked at the orderly and fanatical fans at the bottom of the steps, and naturally recalled a short black-and-white documentary he had watched on TV or somewhere, but when he complained to Ning Ning beside him, Ning Ning just looked at him blankly.
- For now that they were surrounded by a tumult of human voices, it was impossible to hear anything other than cheers.
More than 100,000 people cheering at the same time can be seen on TV to get a glimpse of what it is like, and if there were fans watching the World Cup in Brazil, which is less than half a year old, Maradona, the world's largest football stadium, with a capacity of 155,000 spectators...... This has been the case many times in the Maracanã Stadium.
But the big scene shown on the TV screen can't be compared with the real big scene at the scene, and the huge enthusiasm exuded by this surging crowd is impossible to convey in the broadcast picture anyway!
――Chu Fang, who watched the World Cup match in Brazil with a laptop with a screen of only 19 inches, felt this very deeply at this time! (To be continued......)
