The latest website: [Thank you and add more rewards for "Where is she?"]

——

"What kind of magical technology is this?"

"Nani??"

"I can buy Karma, is this the legendary holographic projection technology? Has technology advanced to such an exaggerated level?"

"Ah, ah, Baga, why can't I grab the ticket with my hand speed?"

"The scene must be amazing, envy, jealousy and hate!"

"I'm so cute, old man's girlish heart~~"

"The people who go to the scene are all true fans."

"Bluestar technology fraud [broken sound]!!!"

"Miku-chan is high!!"

...

Online fan viewers, some domestic fans gathered on the Bluestar Video website, many Japanese fans gathered on the website, and fans from Europe and the United States gathered on the international version of BluestarVideo to watch Hatsune Miku's first virtual tour. Live concert.

When the virtual idol made his debut at the concert, he amazed every witness, and the fans and audience at the scene were the most shocked. They never imagined that it would far exceed the highest expectations in their hearts by several times.

Hatsune Miku's rendering technology is so powerful that everyone immediately thought that Bluestar Technology applied black technology such as holographic projection at the concert.

The media who came to the scene can ignore these, and release the news as soon as possible. The key words are "virtual concert", "holographic projection?" and other shocking words.

However, the media in charge still raised a question mark, after all, the official did not come out to confirm.

But it is also enough to attract the attention of people inside and outside the circle, especially in the technology world.

However, for the fans who came to the scene, they are now completely immersed in this virtual concert, waving the light sticks in their hands enthusiastically, and cheering for the virtual singer idol on the stage.

...

"Mr. He,

Some media reports seem to be wrong, and many news from the media mistakenly believe that we have applied holographic projection technology at the concert, which is a bit more and more realistic. Do we want to issue an announcement to clarify? "

At this moment, the concert is in progress, and the project leader He Chao is watching secretly in the background. He is very satisfied with the feedback from the scene.

He Chao, who was secretly observing the concert scene, immediately stopped when he heard the assistant who came to report to him: "No, the official will not issue any announcements or responses for the time being, just let the public opinion ferment freely, this is a time out of the circle. Great opportunity."

While speaking, He Chao couldn't help laughing and said, "It is suspected of holographic projection technology. Do you want to kill this kind of free publicity exposure? Stupid? Don't worry, just observe, and we are about to disclose the concert technology through official channels. detail."

"clear!"

Under the official acquiescence, the topic of Hatsune Miku's virtual concert that seems to use holographic projection technology is detonating, so that the popularity of this concert has gradually spread outward from the second circle, and more and more media Pay attention to the reports, and people in the technology world can't sit still.

Holographic technology.

This legendary god-level high-end display technology suddenly appeared, and it was suspected to appear at a virtual concert, and the media hyped it up in order to attract attention. In addition, the official Bluestar Technology did not come out to make a statement. Let it ferment, it will become more and more popular for a while.

Hatsune Miku, a virtual idol brand and virtual concert, has soared outside the circle in a short period of time, and has become the hottest topic nowadays. This is the unexpected joy of the operation department.

There is no doubt that this is of great benefit, and Hatsune Miku's popularity has also increased to a higher level, allowing more people to know the existence of "her", and the scale of fans is also growing rapidly.

During the concert at the moment, the fans inside and outside the venue are all frantically calling for their favorite "Her Royal Highness The World's First Princess", but He Chao, the person in charge of this project, observed in the background for a while and then left silently. .

On the way back to the temporary office of the office, he casually asked the assistant who followed him: "How is the virtual ticket sales for the concert? So far."

The assistant immediately replied: "It has far exceeded expectations in all aspects. The Japanese market is the most eye-catching. The number of virtual tickets purchased on the website has reached 43,700, followed by the number of subscriptions on BluestarVideo, which also reached 18,700."

He Chao couldn't be too satisfied when he heard such data. It was indeed beyond the expectations of their operation department, because it was estimated that the number of subscriptions on the video website should be around 20,000. The estimate of BV video sites in Europe and the United States is 12,000, which also exceeded expectations.

Judging from the existing sales data, virtual singers are far more popular in Japan than in other regions.

43,700 virtual tickets were sold on the site, with sales of 314 million yen, or about $3.05 million; 18,700 virtual tickets were sold on the BV video site, with sales of $1.122 million.

This kind of sales data is not even a fraction of a fraction of Bluestar Technology Group's annual revenue, which has already exceeded the level of 10 billion US dollars. It should be a fraction of the fraction.

But it is still enough to make He Chao and their operation team excited. The significance of this number is not how much money they make, but how much prospects they have.

Obviously, the performance far exceeding expectations makes the "Virtual Idol" project very imaginative in the future. With continuous development and hard work, the harvest is no longer in the present but in the future.

In fact, US$3.05 million and US$1.122 million are definitely not the final sales of virtual tickets for this concert, and they will continue to generate revenue in the future. An IP needs to be accumulated and accumulated, and the value will become more terrifying as it goes on.

Like those Hollywood movie giants, their movies make a lot of money just from licensing.

The video of the concert will always be on the website, and if new users want to watch it back, they need to buy virtual tickets to unlock it. As long as Hatsune Miku’s fan base continues to grow, sales will continue to generate revenue.

With the deep cultivation and operation of this brand for a long time, the snowball will get bigger and bigger, and it will hardly cost too much expenditure, and in turn, the profits will become more and more considerable.

The performance far exceeding expectations also greatly increased the confidence of the "virtual idol" operation team. The location of Hatsune Miku's second concert is about to come out. It has now been determined to be in North America, but the specific city is still being selected. among.

...

Hatsune Miku is blowing up the trend of virtual idols in Japan. Thousands of dead houses are raving about a virtual singer, making it difficult for outsiders to understand, especially those in the IT industry.

In the eyes of some programmers, it is just a string of code.

What about these dead houses...

But this is the status quo. If you don't like it, it doesn't mean that others don't like it. The dead Japanese people have no resistance to this virtual girl.

And Luo Sheng has not left in Tokyo so far. The biggest purpose of his trip is to talk with Sony about whether the Cell chip business can be bought. So far, the heads of the two sides have not formally met to talk, but sent someone Go to visit Sony first to show your willingness to buy.

Sony's executives were surprised when they learned that Côte d'Azur intends to buy the Cell chip business.

After the contact between the two sides, on the afternoon of the third day after Luo Sheng arrived in Tokyo, the leaders of the two sides officially met and held talks in a business hotel.

Today, the head of the giant group of Sony is no longer Nobuyuki Idei. Three years ago, he handed over the position of Sony CEO to Howard Stringer, who was 63 years old at the time, and he joined in 1997. Sony's Brits have dominated entertainment divisions such as film music for years.

There is widespread skepticism inside and outside of Sony about Nobuyuki Idei's decision.

After all, the name Sony is a symbol for the Japanese manufacturing industry. It is incredible to give such a family position to a person who is completely different from Japan.

In the vanity fair of business, few people are willing to leave the game for the company's goals. Others say it is helpless and despondent, but Luo Sheng can see Nobuyuki Idei's incomparable confidence and fearlessness.

Sony's coaching change is different from Nissan's passive coaching change due to the change of major shareholders, but it is entirely due to Nobuyuki Idei's full-scale promotion. Against the background of the strong Japanese culture, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a result without the resolute spirit of "doing it even if you die" and the composure that moves with determination.

There's a reason the Japanese electronics giant has survived a string of bankruptcies.

According to the annual report released on May 15 this year, Nobuyuki Idei can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Sony's main business profit of electronic products has doubled, surpassing Panasonic, and regaining the top spot of Japanese electronics companies.

However, this is not good news for Luo Sheng, who wants to acquire Sony's Cell business, which means that Sony indirectly has greater bargaining power.

Sony was still in bankruptcy a few years ago, but now the tone has eased and the crisis has passed, which has also brought certain variables to Luo Sheng's acquisition of the Cell chip business.

At this time, sitting opposite Luo Sheng was an Englishman, Howard Stringer, the current head of Sony, and the eyes of both sides were looking at each other without hesitation.

For the young man sitting in front of him, who is only one-third of his age, the 66-year-old Howard does not have any contempt for this tech and business tycoon.
