Feature Shows Extravaganza

The younger generation should have heard of virtual idols.

Although two-dimensional characters such as Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku are virtual idols, their fame and appeal are not weaker than those of real idols. From a certain perspective, they are more popular than real idols.

After all, he is a virtual character...

Even if you covet her body, she has no body. There are no unspoken rules, scandals, or problems like aging easily.

This is one of the great advantages of virtual idols!

The absence of entity means that fans can rest assured that the tragedy of paying by mistake after all will never happen.

Of course, there are pros and cons.

The advantage of virtual idols is that they are non-entity, which can ensure that the idols are clean and pure, and are not contaminated by the filth of the entertainment industry. But the disadvantage is that most performing arts activities cannot be carried out without physical assistance.

Take Luo Tianyi and Hatsune Miku as examples!

The only works that these two virtual idols can produce are singing and dancing. Not to mention starring in a live-action drama, even if you are a guest star in a cartoon, you still have to consider the issue of painting style.

Attending offline events, holding concerts, etc., you have to use holographic projection technology, which is very inconvenient...

But then again!

Although the shortcomings of virtual idols are obvious, this does not prevent them from becoming perfect idols and dream lovers in the eyes of die-hard nerds, and their ability to attract money is obvious to all.

Many people think...

For IPs like Virtual Idol, the profit method is nothing more than selling small items such as figures, posters and stickers. The money she earns in a year is probably not as much as the salary of a domestic actress from a movie.

Unfortunately, they were wrong!

Take Hatsune Miku, the No. 1 “virtual singer” in the world, as an example. Every year, she endorses products for major manufacturers, holds world tours, releases single albums, produces Nendoroid figures, game animations, image licensing, etc., all added up to one Annual revenue is 10 billion yen.

Figures are just one of them!

Although the sales of figures are really good. Many otakus have a virtual idol figure in their display cabinets.

But the proportion in this regard is not high.

The greatest value of virtual idols mainly lies in the two categories of image licensing and advertising endorsement.

This is like a real idol!

For real idols, remuneration and performance fees are just appetizers. The bulk of the money earned each year comes from advertising endorsements and commercial performances.

10 billion yen a year is a lot!

Equivalent to RMB, it is about 650 million. In U.S. dollars, it’s close to 100 million.

Although PD Film and Television and PD Animation have deep pockets and own multiple world-class IPs, they look down on this little income. But PD Technology, which was established just a short time ago, is different. They are so poor that they can’t even open the pot!

Is Yu-Gi-Oh! very profitable?

That's right!

But this IP belongs to PD Comics, and no matter how well the cards sell, PD Technology won’t get a dime. The only thing they can earn is the AR Duel Instrument.

But this thing...

In order to popularize Yu-Gi-Oh as quickly as possible, the AR duel device is sold almost close to the cost line.

After working hard for more than half a year, I finally made Yu-Gi-Oh! The Prince's PD toys, the Prince's PD animation and the Manga Prince's PD comics were just enough, but the youngest Emperor's brother, PD Technology, couldn't get a bite.

How does this work?

Mr. Tang felt aggrieved and came to complain to his father.

Emperor Meng, who comes old and has a son, doted on his youngest son.

Hearing that he was hungry and couldn't even afford to eat, he quickly issued an order to summon the king of painting, the king of shadows and others to help Yaoer get rid of poverty, become rich and become well-off.

After learning the cause and effect, Wang Kui agreed readily, but he didn't care in his heart.

Mr. Meng is so partial!

If PD Technology can't uncover the truth, what does it have to do with me? If you want to take advantage of me painting the palace, just dream!

Bullshit virtual idol plan...

Wang Kui didn't care at all. He asked the artist to draw a few sketches and make a simple PPT to deal with Mr. Meng.

This is a project of PD Technology.

To do it, let them do it themselves. PD Animation is busy, how can I have time to play house with my brother?

The King of Painting was uncooperative, and neither was the King of Shadows.

Mr. Tang, who finally realized that he had no relatives in heaven, was completely disappointed with the royal brothers who were indifferent to family ties. Just when he was frustrated and didn't know what to do next, his staff came to report.

Your Majesty, General Zhendong wants to see you!

Quick! Please come in...

Someone would give him a pillow every time he fell asleep. Mr. Tang, who was like a headless fly, finally found his savior. General Zhendong from the PD Neon Division is willing to assist him in completing the Virtual Idol project.

But he had a condition.

When the group meeting is held at the end of the year to decide on the zodiac IP for the new year, you must support Kamen Rider!

Don't worry, I will!

Mr. Tang sent General Zhendong away. While he was happy, he also had a bold idea.

The zodiac IP is so important that it can be regarded as the core C position of PD throughout the year. Kamen Rider Kuuga has been elected for a year, and the new rider has little hope of being re-elected.

What if it were replaced by a virtual idol?

Once the virtual idol is elected as the Ren Yinhu in 2022 and receives the group's resources, will the royal brothers still dare to look down on him? Is PD Technology still short of money?

No, I also want to compete.

Mr. Tang, who became more and more excited as he thought about it, quickly asked his secretary to make an appointment with some generals overseas. Before the year-end conference is held, canvass votes in advance.

…

The aloof Emperor Meng did not know that several princes below him had already set their sights on the Renyin Tiger quota in 2022.

Even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

Because the sons fought over each other, it was his old father who ultimately benefited. As long as he doesn't die, he will dominate everything in the PD empire.

At this time, he was watching TV.

In the last week of September, The Legend of Xing Tianhou comes to an end...

After the battle that took place in space, the Ares spaceship was destroyed, and Lufa survived with the power of the Shura Armor. The Xingtian trio executed the final judgment on Lu Fa.

Combining Xiao Fei and Xiao Gang's will power, and in an extremely angry situation, Xiao Tian successfully upgraded the Fire Sword of Fire to the legendary God of War Fiery Sword and easily defeated Lufa and the Shura armor he was wearing.

This was beyond the audience's expectations.

They originally thought that the final battle would be a group fight of Xingtian Trio VS Shura (Lufa). Even if there is an upgrade, three people should be upgraded at the same time.

Never imagined!

The final battle turned out to be a 1v1 real man showdown between Xiaotian and Lufa. Xiaofei and Xiaogang became power bank tool men and a gorgeous background board.

This is so unexpected...

In addition to the way Lufa was defeated, there were three other parts of the ending that surprised the audience.

One is that Ares sent people to Earth for support, which not only showed that Xingtian, Feiying and King Kong were in standard armor, but also revealed the fact that King Peel resigned due to corruption.

In another scene, Xiaotian used the Shura armor to travel back in time, met her parents and Yuzi, and clarified the misunderstanding.

The last part is a stroke of genius.
