Chapter 091: You can take it as humor, don't take it seriously
Hiroyuki Ito and Ye Hua met for the first time, but the other party's words and calm and determined side also made him put away his contemptuous attitude, and kept warning himself in his heart: The other party is not only a young man, but also the person responsible for this merger and acquisition.
The leader of Fang.
When I thought that it was this young Chinese man in front of me who single-handedly changed the global film industry, and that a single transaction contract reached with a super giant like Walt Disney was twice the market value of Cripton, I was immediately relieved.
In the VIP reception room, Ye Hua's arrival was also grandly received by the other party. At this time, the two parties were sitting facing each other. Next to Ye Hua were Qiao Wei and his acquisition team and other five people.
At this time, Ito Hiroyuki was the first to open the conversation and said: "I don't understand something very much. Why did Mr. Ye take a fancy to Cripton? I really can't think of any connection between the two parties. Cripton is a small business.
The turnover of a single transaction of your company is twice the total market capitalization of Cripton, so I think you should look down upon Cripton’s profit.”
: "Furthermore, your company is a high-tech enterprise. Cripton is just an Internet content provider. To be more precise, our content is generated by users. Cripton's profit point is just to hold a few shows."
From the virtual singer's concert, selling virtual tickets and live tickets, and selling some peripheral products and other small profits, I really can't understand why your company would spend huge sums of money on mergers and acquisitions."
Hiroyuki Ito's words can be said to have brought his attitude to an extremely low level. Hearing this, Ye Hua smiled and said: "To a large extent, just like Mr. Ito said before, I am a loyal fan of Hatsune Miku, and
As a die-hard fan, I will always selfishly want to keep my idol to myself, and this is my starting point."
After listening to the translation, Ito Hiroyuki was speechless and said in his heart: I would believe you if you were an ordinary otaku, but when you say this from the mouth of the boss of a super unicorn company... I don't believe a single punctuation mark.
In fact, what Ye Hua said is not wrong, but what he said is currently incomprehensible to outsiders. For fans of virtual idols, Hatsune Miku, as a disembodied virtual singer, is not a bug or a barrier to others, it is exactly who she is.
The most distinctive characteristics and foothold.
Hatsune Miku is not like human star idols. Because she is a human being, she will have shortcomings, failures, and mistakes. If you associate your identity with them, then when the star fails and the personality collapses,
Fans can't help but feel pain.
But this kind of thing will never happen to Hatsune Miku. She will always be young, always single, and has no historical or political ideas. She will not collapse and quit the show in the middle of the concert, nor will she turn her back on her fans.
Hatsune Miku's biggest advantage is that she is always scandal-free. Precisely because she is a virtual idol, she has the advantage of never making the mistakes of human stars. This makes her an ideal idol in the eyes of fans.
People were freed from the disappointment of idol worship and it also helped them find their ultimate idol.
Therefore, once you become a die-hard fan of Hatsune Miku, it will be difficult for her fans to "dismiss" her.
Every fan of such a cute girl singer hopes to possess her alone. What Ye Hua has to do is to help fans of these virtual idols realize their biggest wishes, satisfy their desire for possession, and let those who admire and love her
The virtual idol has become a stay-at-home girl, which is 100% lethal to die-hard stay-at-home fans.
At this moment, Hiroyuki Ito answered no, and it was hard not to answer no. Ye Hua smiled leisurely and said with a serious look and tone for the first time:
"We have carefully studied your company's operating model with virtual idols as the core, and we found a very interesting phenomenon, that is, many creators appear suddenly, and many of them are the works of users. They share the videos after they are made.
Go to YouTube or Niconico animation, and then the 'invisible hand' will naturally complete the rest of the process..."
Hiroyuki Ito nodded and said: "That's right, because we have opened up the Creative Commons licensing terms for Hatsune Miku, that is, cc licensing, which allows the distribution of copyrighted works.
: "Miscellaneous is not like Mickey Mouse. She will not be tightly controlled by the company behind her. Cripton is responsible for funding, but will not take control. If a user wants to draw a portrait of Miku, and then sends it to friends after the drawing, this behavior is
Encouraged by the company, users will not be charged for using Hatsune Miku's image. In fact, this was the core concept of Hatsune Miku when it first appeared. She can be anyone in the user's fantasy."
Speaking of this, Hiroyuki Ito said quite proudly: "Mistress has indeed done it. A large number of users have begun to use her voice to create original songs, as well as 'cover' versions of their favorite songs. Users have painted their own portraits of Miku and made their own
Hatsune music mv, and then put it on YouTube or Niconico animation. In Los Angeles, there are even tear-paper painting courses with Hatsune Miku as the theme. There are many forms of expression related to Hatsune, emerging one after another, and a hundred flowers bloom. From the beginning, things have been
Out of the company's control..."
: "For this reason, we often need to track the user's movements and see what the user does with her. Hatsune's 'career' has developed to this point, and it is no longer a simple software or avatar. She has become a
A channel for publishing works, a form of communication. She is not a popular video, but sometimes a popular video will be named Miku. All of Miku's 'works' and performances come from users, and her music is almost
It doesn’t go through our hands, sometimes it does feel strange..."
Hiroyuki Ito talked endlessly, which shows that he is indeed very proud and proud. At the same time, he also revealed how much he cherishes this virtual image that took more than ten years of hard work to create.
When he said this, Ye Hua suddenly snapped his fingers gently and nodded repeatedly: "This is the fundamental reason why I like Clipton and Hatsune Miku, Mr. Ito. Hatsune is the ultimate idol of fans.
Crazy for it. Miku is also a tool, a channel, a source of inspiration, an ultimate idol, and most importantly...a prototype of an ecology."
"And Coastline Company has the strength to enrich this ultimate idol, enrich this channel, enrich this tool and source of inspiration, and enrich this community ecology, expand this community from the Internet to the home, and thus integrate into the ultimate ecosystem created by Coastline and become one of them.
of a chain.”
"After all, Mr. Ito, how do you think fans will choose between a Miku figure and a holographic avatar that can jump around in front of you and chat and interact with you? If it were you, would you choose the former or the latter?
"
Hearing this, Hiroyuki Ito said without hesitation: "Of course it's the latter."
Before he finished speaking, Ito Hiroyuki, who was half a beat slower to react, seemed to have guessed something. He looked at Ye Hua in shock and said in surprise: "Mr. Ye, is this true? Your company has developed a personal consumer-grade holographic technology product.
?”
Ye Hua smiled slightly and said ambiguously: "The progress is good so far, but it is only a matter of time before it can be realized. We are full of confidence. In fact, we have also planned to create a virtual idol from scratch, but this plan has taken up a lot of time so far.
On hold, because as I said before, I am a loyal fan of Miku, she is my first love, which has a different meaning, so I really want to bring home the 'World's No. 1 Princess'."
This last sentence made the shocked Ito Hiroyuki calm down, and he deeply doubted whether what Ye Hua said was true or false. In short, it was impossible to tell whether it was true or false.
After all, it is empty talk. God knows whether he is bragging or something else unless he witnesses it with his own eyes.
Because you are a loyal fan, and because it feels like first love, you want to take Hatsune home?
Such a pure purpose?
First love?
hehe…
Even if he is really a fan of Hatsune, but from his position as the head of a company, just listen to it. It can be regarded as humor, but it must not be taken seriously. If it is serious, then Shi Lezhi.
