"Bastard!"

"It's a conspiracy, a war!"

"We must investigate clearly, who is the mastermind behind quantum technology!"

"Who is demolishing our platform and working against us, it will never end well!"

Capital.

Early in the morning, in the high-level conference room of the byte group, there was a roar of anger, and Boss Zhang ignored his personal image, cursing Yuan Lin and his quantum technology company, hating to crush him to death like an ant.

At this moment, Yuan Lin, who is far away in Shenzhen, doesn't know that he has inadvertently caused a big disaster, angering the whole of China and even the world's leading media giants.

The cause of this incident has to start with a virtual idol group asoul.

In today's increasingly developed idol economy, capital has always had a huge ambition, and they hope to replace stars in the traditional sense with virtual idols produced by three-dimensional animation.

Experience has proven that celebrities are also human beings and can make all kinds of mistakes.

The Canadian piledriver was imprisoned, Sister Bingbing evaded taxes, Wang Yuan's children smoked, and they were accidentally captured by the media.

Capital's attitude towards celebrities is that they like it and fear it.

They like the appeal and resources gathered by celebrities, but they are afraid that celebrities are uncontrolled and cannot work for themselves 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

So in this case, capital gradually turned its attention to virtual idols.

After all, virtual idols don't need to sleep, don't get paid, don't age, don't need human rights, and are the most perfect object of exploitation in the eyes of capital.

If Hatsune Miku is the first generation of virtual idols, asoul is the latest generation of money-making tools created by capital.

In 2021 alone, the virtual idol group Asoul brought billions of profits to the Byte Group, and also signed hundreds of endorsement contracts.

In just two years, Asoul has its own exclusive platform on Station B and Douyin, and millions of loyal paying fans, and it is powerless for a while.

Virtual technology coupled with the capital giant, the most perfect object of enslavement in human history, the most powerful money-making tool, was born in this way.

On the other hand, although virtual idols are shown as three-dimensional animated images, there are real human actors behind them, and these actors have an exclusive term in the industry, the people.

The person in the middle is like the soul of the virtual idol, the voice of the virtual idol comes from the person in the middle, and the movements and expressions also come from the motion capture of the person in the middle.

In other words, behind every virtual idol you see, there is actually a young lady who is working hard to do the action and devoting herself to the dubbing of real feelings.

The reason why virtual idols look so real is because behind every 3D animated image is a flesh-and-blood human being.

Logically speaking, as the soul of a virtual idol, the person in China plays a decisive role, and it should be very important.

However, the greed of capital never ends.

According to the revelations, the salaries of the young ladies played by Asoul behind the scenes at the beginning were 6,000 yuan per month, and after achieving great success and collecting tens of billions of dollars, the salary of the middle people finally rose to 12,000 yuan.

Capital claims that in addition to wages, there are also commissions, but the commission ratio is not mentioned.

Not long ago, a young lady who played a virtual idol broke the news that she had received a commission of five yuan from the company after a whole night of live broadcast, which was not enough to buy a cup of milk tea...

All in all, if the exploitation of human employees by capital is still restricted by law and somewhat restrained, their exploitation of virtual idols can be described as doing everything.

The question is, why don't people rebel?

Why are those capital giants ruling the virtual idol industry, countless small enterprises, small teams, why don't they invest in this promising cause?

The reason is simple, because there is a technical threshold.

According to public information, the motion capture equipment invested by Byte Group for the asoul team alone costs nearly 300 million yuan.

This is where the arrogance of big capital lies, any team that wants to compete with them must first smash hundreds of millions or even billions of funds down before they are qualified to compete.

In addition to funds and channels, Byte has Toutiao, Douyin, Watermelon, and unimaginable huge traffic, which are all valuable resources that other teams can't buy no matter how much money they spend.

So in the end, virtual idols have become a forbidden area under the rule of a few capital giants, they are arrogant and unreasonable, and they are reckless, but you can't do anything about them.

What did Yuan Lin do to make Boss Zhang so angry?

On the surface, Yuan Lin wrote a motion capture engine called Chasing Light.

But in fact, Yuan Lin smashed the moat of the capital giant!

I have to say that this punch is hard enough!

smashed a super giant like Byte directly into a stun!

You don't need expensive equipment that costs 300 million yuan, you only need a mobile phone and a few cameras to achieve perfect motion capture and smooth picture!

The competitive barriers that have been painstakingly built have been completely invalidated overnight!

It's so ruthless!

Boss Zhang woke up and opened his eyes, good guy, the world is full of three-dimensional virtual images, each of which is lifelike, and all of them are no worse than the asoul that cost more than a billion dollars to build! Can you not get angry?

He's so angry!

Maddened!

You must know that virtual idols represent the future of the entertainment industry, and they are nuclear bomb-level weapons for big capital to stake and harvest ordinary people!

Overnight, Yuan Lin turned an expensive nuclear bomb into a cheap duck egg...

So at the morning meeting, Boss Zhang rarely went crazy and scolded the technical team, the operation team, and the intelligence team.

"At this point, the only thing we can do is to contact Quantum Technology as soon as possible and try to recover the loss." Vice President Nie Feng thought for a while and said: "The so-called sky-high asking price, pay back on the ground." ”

"I think no matter who the forces behind quantum technology are, the ultimate goal is to cooperate with us, with the current status of our group, cooperation can be discussed, but we can't show weakness, because once we show weakness, it is equivalent to encouraging all competitors to stab us in the back."

"It's better to send legal counsel to Shenzhen to take a look, if they know how to lift, it's a big deal that we release some leftovers, and we should feed the dogs, if they don't know how to lift, we also have dog sticks, it's not our goal to beat quantum technology, our real purpose is to make an example of a hundred."

Hearing this, everyone bowed their heads one after another, feeling that it made perfect sense.

In fact, it has long been an industry practice for the larger the capital group to be more ruthless.

Byte's predecessor, Penguin Group, has the classic nickname of Nanshan Pizza Hut, and anyone who dares to challenge them will definitely not end well.

The reason why the big capital is so resolute, in addition to the strength, also has the meaning of killing chickens to show monkeys, otherwise the tree is big, and any cat and dog will come to touch the porcelain, then it will have to be.

Boss Zhang touched his chin and said, "Very good, let's do it." ”

"Nie Feng, you take the people of business and legal affairs to go down to the south, and you must quickly solve this hidden danger!"
