Chapter 192 Time is running out
Lin Wenfang's idea is exciting, but it is not so easy to operate.Since the start of the war, the propaganda department of the General Staff has been fully mobilized. They have almost unlimited funds. Although the military's propaganda must follow the basic market principles and cannot requisition advertising positions and various program frequency bands, as long as they come to the door, Even out of the most basic patriotism, the price of 100% off or 100% off is considered high. Most of the military departments are afraid to lower the price because they consider other people's investment costs.There is a military introduction and military propaganda program. Since the beginning of the war, they have only paid [-] yuan to buy the frequency band of the program. The TV station only charged this ridiculous [-] yuan because the free contract is not easy to operate, and everyone is in trouble.However, even with so many convenient conditions, in fact, except for the recruitment advertisements with Lin Wenfang and Yue Yuyin as the protagonists, other advertisements did not leave much impression in the minds of the public.Everyone knows that there are various benefits to riding the wind of war propaganda, but few people can really take the benefits into their pockets.

Now it is better to cooperate with the military's propaganda, which may be the large-scale tour performance of Battlefield 2112 produced by several art groups and several TV stations affiliated to the military department, as well as some independent artists.But the show in general is aimed at a relatively older age group, ticket sales and so on have a distinct fundraising nature, and those business owners are happy to show their faces at the event and throw a super-sized check.In this year, Battlefield 2112 has performed 10 games, but except for some sketches and a few songs that are obviously too much of the main theme, they are almost all old tricks.The promotion aimed at the younger generation can be said to be almost blank now.

It's not that no one sees the void, it's just that the void isn't so easy to fill.This is an industry they hardly understand at all. If you create a virtual idol and make full use of technical means, you can avoid a series of disadvantages in cost and network resources, but there is still a considerable period of time to explore and accumulate.There are also some that cannot be solved by technology, and that is the work.After all, Lin Wenfang is not omnipotent, his technical ability is strong, but in the field of art, they still have to find a strong team to plan.

"Now it is just in the truce period. I guess there is still a period of time to buffer. I will build the entire virtual idol program platform and interface first, and then everyone will slowly improve it." Lin Wenfang listed these difficulties, but No tension at all.There is always a solution, it's just a matter of investing time, money and effort.He suddenly came up with the idea of ​​a virtual idol, and it was impossible for him to think carefully about it. Now that he can think of all kinds of difficulties at once, instead of being so motivated by the great prospects, it is already very good.

Yue Yuyin smiled easily and said: "I'll look for the works. But you have to tell me what to look for. During my previous training and rehabilitation, I met many people in the field of body and art. And Dr. Xie, she also knows quite a lot of people. Anyway, she always tries to mobilize as much as possible. Some companies have created virtual idols before, and it seems that the duration will not be too long. The life cycle of a virtual idol is three Maybe five years. Especially for younger audiences, people’s love really doesn’t last that long.”

Lin Wenfang smiled, bowed his head and thought for a while and said, "Of course regular works are needed, such as music, MV, animation, but because of Huo Yu's special ability, it should be possible to develop a permanent column like a studio. Normally, netizens can chat with Huo Yu, but in the studio, there are various ways to interact, basically all of them are online. For the time being, this is the area we are most confident in. As for the concert, the performance What, I will talk about it later, we must first build a reputation. Right now, what is most needed is suitable music works, a director who can make MVs, an animation production team, and an operation team with certain experience in the media industry. , A series of technical hardware is also required. Although Huoyu originally had a complete motion database, it cannot rely entirely on this, and still needs a series of equipment related to the motion capture system. Of course, the venue must also cooperate."

Yue Yuyin nodded, she glanced at the screen and laughed a little.Huo Yu herself has compiled what Lin Wenfang said into the minutes of the meeting, and it seems that she is also very concerned about these preparations.Yue Yuyin said: "In terms of hardware, I will go back and talk to the people manufactured by Tianyao to see if I can develop and produce it myself. Those people claim to be able to do everything. Order core components and chips that cannot be produced by myself. Then leave it to them. If possible, it would be a good opportunity for them to practice."

Lin Wenfang nodded.This is not to save money. To produce these things by ourselves, due to the extremely small batch size and various special requirements of our own, the cost will only be higher than purchasing other people's finished products.However, the feeling that the technology is in your own hands is completely different from the technical service department that has to find someone else for even the most basic adjustments.

With such an idea, everyone started to act from the next day.Yue Yuyin approached Tan Yanwen, who was with her at the Academy of Chinese Opera to practice and teach.Tan Yanwen herself was very interested in this matter, and she really needed a job, so she volunteered to join Tianyao Information.She herself is very good at dancing. Her father is a professor who studies public media and new media technology. She also has a certain understanding of the entire industry. A key advisor to the team is more than enough.What's more, Tan Yanwen also has classmates, brothers, sisters and teachers in the school who can start it.Tan Yanwen was very popular in the school, and soon pulled out a small team of seven people and started calling everywhere to find elites in the industry.

Tianyao Information is also quite influential now. Their actions immediately attracted the attention of many people, especially since they were obviously preparing to enter the fields related to entertainment and media. The relevant departments quickly called Lin Wenfang Is there anything I can do to help.Originally, the approval cycle required to establish an entertainment media company was very long, but after a few phone calls from the Press Office of the Presidential Palace, the relevant departments gave priority to helping them complete a series of procedures without violating the basic guidelines.The second subsidiary of Tianyao Information: Tianyao Media was born.

It takes time to manufacture equipment, hire personnel, and so on. On the contrary, the platform is built very quickly. After Lin Wenfang completes the software framework, the specific program line filling is all handed over to Huo Yu.In less than a day, the entire core platform was built.

The core platform of virtual idols is not limited to the establishment of one virtual idol, but can manage multiple virtual idols at the same time, establish roles, modify appearances, change various clothing, establish virtual living spaces and virtual studios, etc.Through the Internet, fans can visit this platform to have one-on-one or one-to-many chat and communication with virtual idols. After reaching a certain level of authority, they can also create a virtual character on the platform, enter the platform’s studio, and communicate with other fans. Let's meet.This entire platform is somewhat similar to some previous singing and dancing online games, but it is much more complex, advanced and interesting. It almost combines the professionalism of entertainment and the openness of community-based games at the same time. It is a complete game. An endless carnival online, all for fans.

Due to time constraints, the virtual community only limited a rough space. Although there are mountains and water inside, it is barren.Lin Wenfang plans to hand over the construction of this space to Huo Yu and future fans.He had no choice but to discuss the image, name, personality setting, etc. of the virtual idol. After building the basic platform and making the interface with Yue Yuyin, he had to report to the military headquarters. As a member of the regiment, as an expert in information security, he will set off to Sertig together with the second batch of diplomatic leading teams from the Federation to implement a series of matters such as security and communications.Before that, he had to receive a period of foreign affairs training to learn about various situations about Sertig.There is also a confidential training, which is conducted by officials of the Security Bureau. They will teach him a series of contact codes, so that he can secretly contact the lurking federal agents without letting anyone know.The two trainings will take four days in total, and Lin Wenfang himself has to make preparations, and he has to provide information security training to the leading group and the security directors who will leave with the complete team of the mission later. Two more days of delay.Time is really, really tight.

However, it is not all bad news.It was precisely because he wanted to join the mission that Lin Wenfang was promoted to the military rank very logically.The higher the military rank, the more favorable it is to make contact with the opposing military personnel in the diplomatic scene.Lin Wenfang's official military rank was promoted to colonel, and then, in order to match his "position", he was awarded the battlefield appointment of "major general".Field appointments are generally one or two ranks higher than the official military rank, and will be revoked after the war is over, but now that the war has subsided, he has received a battlefield appointment, which is a bit funny to say.

When Lin Wenfang boarded the plane, the outer armor made by Tianyao had already been manufactured and loaded on the armor of the soldiers.Considering that the tasks of vigilance and guarding are relatively heavy this time, and the armored armor with stronger computer technology and protection capabilities is relatively more suitable.Although it is a leading group, there are quite a lot of people. After all, they are going to the capital of an enemy country, so they can't be too cautious.The entire leading group, including Lin Wenfang, has a total of 227 people, and there are 9 mechs alone.However, the only mecha masters who accompanied Lin Wenfang to Sertig this time were Xiao Zhiqiang and Huo Di.Among the other 6 pilots, 3 are from the Mecha Rangers of the Capital Garrison. They have been training in strict accordance with Lin Wenfang's training procedures in the Mecha Division, almost since the formal establishment of the Mecha Force. The driving experience is much better than the team members added later by the mecha division, and they are more experienced in security tasks.The other three were from the Shadow Demon Troop.
