Chapter 345 - Interview with Virtual Idol
Chapter 345: Chapter 345 Interview with Virtual Idol
It was not difficult to make music games, but since Zhou Yu wanted to make one, and he wanted to reveal all the idols of Luhua city to the real world, then he must do it perfectly. The photo album was the first step of publicity, paving the way for subsequent music games. In order to make this game great, Zhou Yu decided not to do it alone, but to prepare to listen to the opinions of professionals.
Hence the virtual idol project was officially launched.
Abyss Console, Otaku Gaming Portal, and Penguin Company were all invited to have a discussion. All idols appearing in the photo book would have at least a single game work, whether it was music games or other genre games.
Little Muli, Bai Mo, Li Weinian, Lou Baobao, Mu Xiaoyou, plus the two idols of Beidou and ten idols of Heifengzhai, this lineup is extremely impressive.
At the discussion meeting, Zhou Yu released a video, which can be regarded as a self-introduction of the debut of Luhua city’s idols. Everyone took a little time to briefly introduce themselves, but in fact, it was a job search video they shot in Zhou Yu’s bedroom.
Zhou Yu naturally would not make them unemployed, but there were too many people. So in terms of what games were suitable for them and how the games should be, Zhou Yu needed to ask advice from experts. The five attributes of the ACG world idols are often not applicable to the real world. Anyone who can gain high popularity can have more opportunities to appear in the real world. Regarding this, Zhou Yu should not show partiality for specific idols.
There are currently three forces in Luhua City, local idols, Beidou idols, and Heifengzhai idols, plus wandering idols that may be owned in the future. As the city lord, Zhou Yu cannot always favor his children. If he can not be fair toward other idols, there will be a lot of troubles.
In this way, a strange job interview was conducted, and it was also the first time for Abyss, and the other two companies to do something like this. Looking at the idols one by one, the people from each company felt very strange.
“So, how is it? Do you think those idols can be used?”
Except for Lou Baobao, who had already appeared once in the heartless girl, the rest of them have never appeared in any games. It’s just that, oddly enough, each of them has his or her own personality in the introduction, and even their areas of expertise are fixed. Isn’t this thing supposed to be set by their designers? If it’s necessary, those things can be added at any time.
However, Zhou Yu directly stated in the introduction. The idols’ preferences and specialties cannot be changed. Lou Baobao can only appear in action movies or action games, and Zi Tiao can only perform dances. Little Muli seems like she can do anything, but she is more like an idol.
Gao Shu from the Otaku Gaming Portal looked at the detailed information about the idols in his hand, and said with a slightly joking tone, “Boss Zhou, it is very difficult to tell anything through this, maybe you can ask them to show us something that they are good at?”
Originally it was just a joke, after all, it was too late to produce any talent show videos at this point. Unless there was really a little kingdom in Luhua village. Unexpectedly, Zhou Yu really nodded after thinking for a while: “Okay, but it will take a while.”
The camera “truth” then connected to the idols waiting in Zhou Yu’s room and then with the help of Qi Yulin capturing their performance on the spot. Moreover, they could also answer all the questions immediately on the spot, just like the real talent show.
“We can ask questions? And they can answer?”
The penguin company’s representative Liu Gongcai’s face was filled with disbelief. It is obviously an animation, how could the characters in there be able to respond in real-time? Then they were completely shocked by it when they found out that they could really do it.
In this way, the interview started again. This time it was to interact with the interviewers. Then people got to know those idols personalities even more. Little Muli is very calm, Bai Mo is cold, Li Weinian is very experienced, Lou Xiaobao is very dark and gloomy, and Mu Xiaoyou is very shy. All of them are very outstanding. To the interviewers’ surprise, the virtual idols’ facial expressions and body language were so perfect that they didn’t feel like they were talking to anime characters.
Is this artificial intelligence?
Finally, everyone’s talent show surprised them even more. Although they have long known that Muli’s voice is very powerful, and they have also seen it in the video about the concert in the Vermilion Bird stadium, they did not expect that her live performance was also intoxicating.
Among them, Zi Tiao’s Dian Mo Style Dance was the most impressive.
It made them wonder if the video has been made beforehand, or it was the real live performance. Anyway, the special effects of the dance of Zi Tiao were really fascinating.
After the interview was over, it could be considered that the virtual idol plan was finally started. The remaining preparations need to be carried out step by step. The first step is to make music games.
The most important thing is the story that is needed to make games.
The story’s harvest was actually not bad. After all, the trend of starting a relationship some time ago produced many story seedlings in the park. Regardless of whether the result of those seedlings was good or bad, these stories were nurtured and harvested by Ning Feixian, the story collector, and finally handed over to Zhou Yu.
The writing and content of the stories are both great. Compared to what Zhou Yu did personally in the past, it was much better. It is truly different when you ask a professional to do something.
Among these stories, Zhou Yu needed to pick one that was suitable for music games, and it should have a good ending too.
While Zhou Yu was trying to find a good story, Otaku gaming Portal and other companies were also trying to promote the idols of Luhua Village. After all, they would become the main characters of the future games.
While reading the stories, Zhou Yu also went to find Lin Wumo and accepted another quest of finding the children of wanderers.
“Gambler Chao Gui, because he lost to Qian Wang in the King of Gamblers competition and owed a lot of money, he is currently on the run. Rumors said that he once appeared on an island in the east, and has been looking for the legendary pirate king’s secret treasure. He hopes that it can pay off the debt, and then he can live a normal life again.”
Well, another strange kid of a wanderer. It seemed like he needed to go to the sea. It seemed to be a bit far. Moreover, Zhou Yu has not been to the sea in his life. Or maybe, it would just be a swimming pool or probably a lake in the real world.
Anyway, he needed to search for a clue slowly, and once he got everything ready, he would set out to capture that kid.
