Chapter 129 What kind of virtual idol? (710 begging for subscription!)

Zhong Ming said: "Look carefully at the competition rules. The first stage is the preliminary competition. The preliminary competition doesn't need to be so complicated. It only needs a clear image and a simple movement. Anything like motion capture or voice is fine. No need for the time being. Most of the participants in this competition are small groups or small studios. How can they be so perfect at the beginning? In the preliminary stage, they will be screened according to their image, and the excellent image after screening will enter the next stage of the competition .”

"Oh." Zhou Sen understood, "Then I feel like we should have a try, the most important thing is to participate."

Jiang Wanna also said: "Yes, the most important thing is to participate. What if we win the lottery?"

The three hit it off and planned to use their spare time to participate in this virtual idol contest.

For Jiang Wanna and Zhou Sen, on the one hand, it is to practice their hands, and on the other hand, they are to earn some extra money for themselves. After all, they are not like Zhong Ming, who received a bonus of [-] in a month. These two people are still relatively short-lived.

As for Zhong Ming, what he is eyeing is No.1's 200 million bonus. If he has this money, he can consider playing an independent game by himself.

Of course, if the virtual idol is sold, it will make more money. Not to mention that the bonus doubles to 400 million. Xinghua Interactive Entertainment will spare no effort to promote it, and the various income from the promotion will be divided into the author, but Zhong Ming doesn’t want to do this. Because the value of a virtual idol is even more precious than a song or a book, such as Su Bai, who brought hundreds of millions of profits to Xinghua Interactive Entertainment.

If Zhong Ming can win the first prize, the value of this virtual idol can be continuously explored by himself, and even related games can be developed around him/her in the future, and it is more useful to keep it in his own hands.

Therefore, what Zhong Ming wanted was the 200 million bonus, a virtual idol who could be called a treasure trove, and the prestige and points that this matter would enhance for him.

……

In the new week, the popularity of "Xuehai Wuya" is still rising slowly, but it can be seen that this is already the middle and late stages of the game's expansion.

The number of active players has remained at around 130 million, and it is difficult to grow any more. It is likely to start to slowly decline in another week or two.

Although answering games are new to players, they are hard to last after all.Most of the games that allow players to persist in playing for the first half of the year are either driven by strong numerical values, or have a gameplay that can be repeated indefinitely. Answering games obviously do not have these elements. For most players, In other words, at most one or two months will get tired of playing.

Fortunately, the user volume is large enough, the popularity is high enough, and the influence is wide enough, so the decline period of "Xuehai Wuya" will also be extended to a relatively long time.

The "Millions of Coins" section was hit hard. Several big companies, such as Hot News and Wutong Information, followed up one after another, and they all opened 200 million special sessions. It was obvious that they wanted to compete with "Xuehai Wuya" for traffic. .

The size of this kind of big company, in Zhong Ming's understanding, is basically the same as that of Toutiao and Netease in the previous life. They are all important information platforms in the Chinese cultural circle. The project team of "The Boundless Learning Sea" can't let it go, and the light wing mutual entertainment is also enough.

But fortunately, these big companies did not fight against the million-dollar coin campaign so targetedly, but chose to stagger the time.

It is also understandable that the million-dollar coin is the earliest activity to answer questions, the number of active people has already exceeded one million, and it has the greatest influence on the Internet. Wan Da's enthusiasm for throwing coins feels that it is not worthwhile to be tough.

According to Zhong Ming's thinking, Million Daza Coin is now trying its best to take advantage of the heat to receive sponsorships and earn the money in his hands. Whether it will be cool or not in the future will be discussed later.

Liang, it is an irreversible process, and it is difficult to change it by manpower alone.

The entire "Xuehai Wuya" project team is still performing daily updates, maintenance, and new version upgrades, and is also constantly optimizing some functions for the game "Xuehai Wuya", but it can be clearly felt that, The work intensity has dropped significantly, and no one works overtime.

Everyone came and went according to the point, punched in after get off work, and asked for leave became very relaxed.

After all, it is no longer the development period, so there is no need to work so hard.

Lao Xie himself too, slipped away after work every day, and became more Buddhist.

Zhong Ming usually has nothing to do, just holding a hand-painted board at his work station, conceiving a virtual idol.

Zhong Ming has never designed a virtual idol before, but after all, he has seen a virtual idol's concert in this world. It can be said that he has never eaten pork, but has seen pigs run.

But what kind of virtual idol can be designed to be popular?This bell ringing is really a bit bottomless.

There are many images of Zhong Ming who can be called virtual idols in his previous life, such as Hatsune, Ai-chan, etc., or DVA, which can also be called virtual idols.

However, many virtual idols are supported by similar cultural products. For example, Hatsune Miku has a song called Scallion, and the popularity of DVA is inseparable from Overwatch.

To stand out from the many virtual idols in this world, the most important point is to make a difference, and it must be liked by players.

"What kind of image is missing for virtual idols in this world?"

Zhong Ming didn't rush to write, but first searched out all the more famous virtual idol images in the world, lined up on the screen, and observed their characteristics.

There are also many virtual idols in this world, with different personalities, but overall, they still focus on positive images.

Su Bai is an elegant, courteous, considerate and warm man.

Tina is a Queen with unknown personality orientation and a bit aloof.

Alice is a well-behaved and cute little princess character.

Other virtual idols are basically similar, basically they are all positive and positive personalities, even if there are differences in personality, they are based on positive personalities.

As for the reason?Zhong Ming didn't know either.

But he speculates that it may be because of some attributes of the existence of virtual idols.

"Idol" is not allowed to have stains.

Every "idol" has a personality, and his/her existence is to meet certain expectations of fans.Many idols in reality are often not allowed to have any love life, can not openly date men/girlfriends, let alone have big scandals, because these will destroy the character design and destroy fans' expectations of him/her.

Once fans lose their expectations of an idol, the idol will basically be swept into the trash can.

It's like once some pure actresses burst out with large-scale orgasms, even if it's not her fault, it will still cause a very fatal blow to her career.

This is also the advantage of virtual idols over real idols. Virtual idols will not cause scandals.

It may be precisely because of this that companies in this world are more inclined to make perfect virtual idols.

Idols in reality are individual people, and human beings inevitably have personality flaws, and these personality flaws are like buried dynamite, which will explode at an unknown time, making all the efforts made come to naught.

But virtual idols don't have this problem, they have no stains, and they can always meet the expectations of fans.

However, in Zhong Ming's view, they are all stereotyped and flawless virtual idols, which already makes people feel tired.
