Chapter 667 Luoshui Tianyi
What preparations are needed to create a virtual idol?
First, compile the character.
Focus on shaping the "cuteness" and appearance!
Considering the audience, in terms of cuteness, you can refer to "foodies", "big eaters", "road fools", "natural idiots" and "daredevils". The geeks like this kind of girl the most!
In terms of appearance, refer to Luo Tianyi.
A natural girl with white hair and strange eyes, and a "Chinese-style" clothing and hairstyle. You can't be too old or too young, 15 years old is quite suitable.
Height 155cm, weight 50kg.
The birthday is a public date, and Meng Lang plans to choose "Double Eleven" to make it public as his birthday.
Don't ask, it's just a coincidence!
The PD Mall is holding an event on Double Eleven, and it coincides with Her Royal Highness the Princess’s birthday. She will bring the goods. Fans are not allowed to chop off the left hand and the right hand?
The character design was based on Luo Tianyi, so in the naming process, this name was naturally used.
Hua Feng Xia Yun, Luoshui Tianyi!
The name of every virtual idol has great significance. This is definitely not a name that the painter slapped on the forehead and casually made up.
The same goes for Luo Tianyi.
The first time I heard this name, even if I didn't see Luo Tianyi's true appearance, just hearing the name gave me a sense of "ancient-style beautiful girl".
I have to say, this is awesome.
The name is the soul of a virtual idol. A nice and unfamiliar name can help her win at the starting line. And a vulgar repeated name probably won't have this effect.
You do not believe?
Here comes the problem!
They are also virtual idols. You have never seen their faces. Their names are "Xia Yun" and "Cuihua". Who do you subconsciously think is more beautiful?
No one really chooses Cuihua, right?
Come up with a good name and a good persona. The next step is to draw an image of the character!
In this regard, it all depends on the painter.
The artist's ability will determine the appearance, cuteness and affinity of this virtual idol. Once the painting is not good, it is completely ruined.
fine!
PD is not only rich and powerful, but also has its own comic company and animation company. We have a group of professional painters with rich experience and excellent painting skills.
Their origins are complex.
Someone is a rising star in the neon animation/comic industry. After being discovered by the PD, he was tempted with a large sum of money, and finally fell into the arms of Meng Zai.
There are also people who are domestic first-line painters. They are very skilled but cannot make it through, and their lives are very miserable. After seeing the "recruitment order" issued by PD, he fled his old club and decided to take a gamble.
There are also people who were once highly sought-after “fandom bosses” on major websites, post bars, and forums. Because I couldn't control myself, I drew a book like "Mengzi's Confusion" and was forced to join the PD to atone for my sins...
As for the painter, this is not a big problem.
Driven by Meng Lang, all major subsidiaries did their best to cooperate. Not long after, the first version of Luo Tianyi's character image was released.
The work enters the third stage!
With a complete character design, there is also a character image. The next thing to do is to give life to "her" so that she can sing, dance, and appear in front of fans.
It's Mr. Tang's turn to take action!
PD Technology used the money from "Father" to buy patent licenses and recruit a group of powerful software engineers.
Focus on developing three projects!
The first is the "speech synthesis engine", which synthesizes "real-person" singing by inputting notes and lyrics, and combines it with accompaniment to create musical works.
The second is "3D computer animation software", which imports "3D character models" to edit movements and combine them with music to achieve dancing.
The third holographic projection technology explores the feasibility of applying it to concerts, fan meetings, studios and other places.
Once the first two projects are developed, they will be open to everyone. Using the convenience of software, fans can use their "creative imagination" to their fullest to increase Luo Tianyi's popularity.
Virtual idols have a strong sense of participation.
Take Luo Tianyi as an example.
Her sound source library and 3D models are not secret. Everyone can use it to start secondary creations, which is extremely free.
It is precisely because of the "no threshold" feature that virtual idol works emerge in endlessly and always remain fresh.
Of course, this is for entertainment only.
If you want to use the work for "commercial use", such as endorsing products, you must purchase a PD license. If you don’t have authorization, be careful if the little bully from Jiangchuan comes to drink tea with you!
The persona is there, the image is there, and now even the software is there! Are the preparations for the virtual idol over?
The answer is, no!
There is one last step and the most critical step. Prepare a song "destined to explode" for this new singing idol.
Moreover, it must be an original song.
The cover song was not very effective.
Only when original songs become popular will everyone’s attention focus on the singer. The sense of shock once they learn that the singer is not a "person" will definitely turn them on.
So, what song to choose?
Although there were many virtual singers, Meng Lang knew several of them. But he didn't know much about the works of these virtual singers.
After much deliberation, he could only choose a song called "Food Feeding Song" that he had listened to more often and remembered the lyrics.
Onion dumping song?
Don't mention this stuff!
Meng Lang swore to God that he would never listen to Dan Cong's song less than a hundred times, but he didn't remember a word of the lyrics.
I just remember a series of weird rhythms of "dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah"...
It’s better to throw food songs!
Although the song is from abroad, it has Chinese lyrics. The effect of Luo Tianyi's singing is also quite magical, and the brainwashing effect is not bad.
the most important is!
This is the only song that Meng Lang could remember all the lyrics for after racking his brains. Even if he had heard other songs, he couldn't remember the lyrics.
"I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry. I'm so hungry, I'm so hungry, I'm really hungry..."
The song is magical!
The lyrics are also very simple and brainwashing!
Not surprisingly, even the Japanese and English versions have the same effect, which initially has the potential to become a global hit.
The debut song has been decided!
After making the above preparations, the only thing left before Luo Tianyi's birth was the "sound source" provider.
Meng Lang couldn't help in this regard.
Among the voice actors he has worked with, there is no suitable candidate. If you want to find the most beautiful "girly voice", you have to rely on Mr. Tang and others to look for it like a needle in a haystack.
Issue another "recruitment order"?
A rich man from Jiangchuan spends a lot of money to seek lolita music?
Perhaps, this is a good idea. The reason why no one auditioned was simply because the money was not given enough.
As long as the money is enough, not to mention professional voice actors, even the "pseudo-sounding women's clothing" boss may not be able to resist the temptation and come to audition.
By then, the problem will be solved.
But there's a problem...
Luo Tianyi is now a "top secret" project and will not be made public. Therefore, no one knows the hidden purpose behind "Jiangchuan rich people spend a lot of money to seek Lolita music".
If you think wrongly...
Then doesn't he have one more quirk?
