At 12:00, it was time for the matinee admission to the first virtual concert. Fans who had snapped up tickets for the concert had already begun to queue up at the designated entrance. The official start time was 13:00~15:00.
In front of the curtain are security personnel who are responsible for the order of the scene and guiding fans to enter in an orderly manner. After all, this is a gathering of tens of thousands of people, so there can be no carelessness.
The operation team behind the scenes is also busy making arrangements. The success of the concert is inseparable from the coordination and hard work of each small team.
At 12:40, Ye Hua arrived at the Shangdu Grand Stage and quietly walked behind the scenes from the back door.
"Can anyone give a brief report?" Ye Hua came to the backstage, looked around, and said casually.
"Director Ye!"
After a while, a middle-aged man in a suit came walking quickly. He was the organizer of the concert at Shangdu Station.
Ye Hua's eyes fell on the person in charge and nodded slightly. He actually didn't know the person in charge because he was an employee of Cripton Future Media. Although Cripton was acquired by Coastline, the parent company did not
Without interfering with the subsidiary, Cripton still maintains independent operations.
The other party immediately said: "Mr. Ye, as expected, this world tour will not only recover the cost, but also make a profit without any problem."
Ye Hua nodded, but said: "Profitability or not is secondary. Increasing influence is the result I want."
The investment budget for this tour exceeds 200 million US dollars. Even if it ends up losing tens of millions of US dollars, it is not a big deal to Ye Hua. What he hopes to achieve is to expand his influence, and it is also an important data for judging market trends.
refer to.
To put it simply, Ye Hua wants to use this investment to see how crazy this group is and to find out the bottom. So far, the fans are indeed fanatical.
No wonder the fan economy is so popular nowadays.
The person in charge said with an excited look: "According to incomplete statistics, the number of people on site has exceeded 35,000. The popularity is far beyond our predictions. The peripheral sales at the site are booming, and many peripheral products are selling well."
Especially the limited-sale products have been sold out early. As of half an hour ago, the total amount of peripheral sales has reached 9 million yuan, and each visitor to the site has spent an average of 260 yuan."
Ye Hua was quite surprised when he heard this data, "Are these home fans so strong in chopping skills?"
The person in charge couldn't help laughing when he heard this, and said easily: "The sales of peripheral products have exceeded the ticket revenue. According to this trend, when Shangdu Station comes to an end, the revenue from peripheral sales will basically exceed the ticket revenue.
Based on the existing data and our predictions, it is not a big problem for peripheral sales to exceed 35 million during the two-day exhibition."
The overwhelming popularity at the venue gave the organizers confidence. The concert could only accommodate 10,000 people, but in fact more than 30,000 people came. Most of the extra tourists came to buy the concert.
Cripton Future Media used to have limited strength and adopted the so-called "hungry marketing" strategy. It liked to sell various limited editions and limited edition peripheral products. Originally, there were few such events and events in the circle, which naturally stimulated fans.
The desire to buy may come and go with a bulging wallet.
Seeing this dazzling data, Ye Hua was quite satisfied and came to the window sill. The room he was in at this time was a closed room on the third floor in the inner field of the big stage.
Ye Hua had a bird's-eye view of the concert site below. At this moment, 70% of the ticket buyers had already entered the venue. A large number of home fans had already received their light sticks and were waiting for the arrival of 13:00.
Sure enough, most of the home fans are people who have mines at home. I heard that you have mines at home, hehe...
At this moment, Ye Hua, who was really observing secretly, saw that the otaku fans below were a little excited, and he was thinking about how to "cheat" the mines from these otaku fans' homes -uェu-
at the same time.
The fans who entered the venue each held two blue-green glow sticks. Many of the fans present had participated in all the previous virtual concerts held by Hatsune Miku in China. This time in 2020, especially the fans who came all the way from other places.
Fans, they experienced so many surprises, it can be said that there are constant surprises.
The national tour revealed this year was the first surprise;
After arriving in Shangdu, the second surprise was the twin advertisements that can be seen everywhere in this modern city;
After entering the big stage and visiting a series of exhibitions, the third surprise came.
Now is the biggest surprise. Compared with previous concerts, today’s venue has received a truly epic upgrade in terms of scale and stage layout.
What really surprised fans was that the on-site layout appeared on the runway for the first time, and the sense of instant anticipation once again broke through to a new level. The so-called holographic projection technology in the past actually only used the principle of diffraction to reproduce the light waves of objects in its imaging process.
Information, so the limitations are too great and can only be limited to the stage.
Today's scene, the stage shape presents a T-shaped extended platform, 2 meters wide and 30 meters long, connecting the SS seating area and passing through a section to divide the audience seats on both sides.
The emergence of the T-shaped stage shows that virtual singers are no longer limited to the stage, but can "walk" to any area of the concert site.
And I didn’t see any big screens on the stage, so the real holographic display was basically solid.
Fans at the scene were all guessing in their minds how Hatsune Miku would appear at today's concert. There were all kinds of speculations, so don't look forward to it too much.
As the time came to 12:55, almost all the fans had finished entering the venue. Almost all the fans at the scene were holding two bright green fluorescent sticks in their hands.
As 13:00 arrives, the lights turn off in the bright scene.
"Oh oh oh..."
Fans in the audience cheered enthusiastically, and the scene suddenly turned into a blue-green fluorescent ocean. Fans waved their green fluorescent sticks heartily. Every fan who came to the scene was emotionally invested in it.
In fact, whether it is a real idol or a virtual idol, only emotional investment can get the best on-site experience.
As the colorful stage laser lights lit up, the sound of music came as expected, and the fans at the scene also danced their fluorescent sticks to the rhythm of the music.
Every fan is extremely looking forward to the upcoming idol.
At the same time, a huge behind-the-scenes operation team is working intensively and orderly under the overall planning of the chief director. The technical team responsible for real-time calculations is particularly important. All screen displays on the stage and interactions with people are under their control.
It can be successfully completed under the control.
After a while, the darker scene was surrounded by music. The audience saw colorful snowflakes floating in front of the stage. But soon everyone became more excited. The audience sitting in the SS area was surprised to see the snowflakes blowing on their faces.
The crystal-like "snowflake spots" come out.
"Is this true holographic technology?"
Every witness felt more and more incredible. They thought they were in the screen, but in fact they were thinking about the whole scene spreading, three-dimensional spreading.
With strong curiosity, several fans could not help but reach out to "grab" or wave their arms at the colorful light spots floating in front of their eyes. They would actually change their original trajectory, just like real fireworks affected by wind or airflow.
Floating everywhere.
It is at this moment that I know it is illusory but so real, both true and false.
Suddenly, the whole audience was in a state of exclamation and excitement, with surprise and excitement reaching their original peak again and again.
