Chapter 207： [Only the more "lost" the more you earn]

, The latest chapter in the latest global monopoly of technology!

The launch time of the two projects is also basically determined. The "online cloud translation" project is a huge amount of engineering. The goal of the development team is to strive for a test version to be launched around 2009. Not only does its own technology development take time, it also follows the cloud. There is a significant correlation between the progress of computing services.

As for the "virtual idol" plan, which was launched at the end of this year, the amount of work is relatively small.

Three days later, Blue Star Technology Headquarters, the office of the "Virtual Idol" General Planning Department.

At this moment, Luo Sheng and a group of young people are gathered in the planning department, these people are just transferred to the "virtual idol" development team.

"Is there so many people in the group?"

Luo Sheng looked around at the 60 or 70 people, mostly young people, with an average age of about 24 years old, or excellent software engineers, architects, painters, etc., all drawn from the internal personnel changes of the group company.

"Boss, there are so many that meet your requirements." He Chaoru, who is in charge of this project, said.

"Well, recruiting people worldwide, including not only to dig for talents in this area, but also game companies such as Blizzard Entertainment, Hollywood Pixar, etc., [Hatsune Miku] was born with powerful voice interaction technology. On the one hand, it also requires a huge behind-the-scenes creative team to produce a large amount of high-quality content for her. "Luo Sheng said," The company's most important thing is money. If you fancy an outstanding talent, you must smash it. You do n’t have enough money, do you understand what I mean? "

After speaking, Luo Sheng looked at the person in charge, He Chao, who took a moment and nodded again and again: "Understand!"

He Chao also saw that the boss attached great importance to this project.

Blue Star Technology's "virtual idol" seems to have no name from the previous "Hatsune Miku" in the name and settings. This name is indeed very unique, or it may be Luo Sheng's preconceived memory.

The key is that the name that highlights the dynamic future is very standard. Anyway, the book has not yet come out, and the IP has been decisively squatted. The elements such as the identity of the virtual idol have also been determined.

Birthday: April 12, 2007

Age: 16

"For the 'Hatsune' project, our goal is to make her the world's first virtual idol. No matter how the idols change, one person will always stand like a mountain and continue to play for another 500 years. This idol is Hatsune Miku."

Luo Sheng looked at the team members present: "The project budget is 8 billion soft sister coins, about 1 billion US dollars, and it is very likely that the cost will be recovered in about ten years, so I can allow ten years to be unprofitable."

At this point, He Chao, etc. secretly smashed his mouth. If it is an early employee, I am probably not surprised at Luo Sheng's remarks, because he often sets a tone when starting new projects many times. How long is this project? Unprofitable can be allowed.

Bluestar Technology Group has never been a fast-money company.

The magic thing is that Blue Star Technology has now become one of the most profitable Internet technology companies in the world.

Is it that the more you do not want to make money, the more you make?

Luo Sheng continued: "This project has the pockets of the parent company and the pockets of me, so don't worry about the problem of not making money and no budget investment. What the team has to do is to create a first in history with the true sense of craftsmanship. The most perfect and successful virtual idol. However, my request is influence, what kind of influence? Become the most popular virtual idol in the world, in this field to be a pole of the world, no one can Beyond. "

He Chao said at this time: "First of all, I think it is impossible for latecomers to surpass in capital investment."

As soon as this remark came out, the other members in the office couldn't help laughing. This remark was fine, and Luo Sheng would play like this and would agree to allocate so much budget.

That's a billion dollars.

Compared with the birth of Hatsune Miku of the previous life, the total budget for more than ten years is just the same. Such a huge budget investment is not only a boutique but also a boutique.

There is no doubt that Luo Sheng's ambition is huge. This time, the layout is intended to lead the new trend of the world in the next ten years. The huge budget allocation will continue to make Bluestar's virtual idol become one A monument beyond the reach of its peers.

"How is the director's problem handled?" Luo Sheng asked He Chao again.

"Someone has been sent to talk about cooperation with Ben Ben," He Chao answered quickly, and he couldn't help but ask, "Just the boss, is this necessary?"

After learning about Luo Sheng's intentions, until now, He Chao couldn't understand why he had such a bad decision.

Really a super loser, he actually wanted to create a pure CG animated movie promo ad for the birth of "Hatsune Miku".

And the budget reaches 450 million US dollars! !! !!

It's crazy. This budget scale can make three or four A-level Hollywood movies without calculating the cost of publicity, but Luo Sheng used that money to make a promotional video for advertising.

Is this an advertising film you dare to believe?

Well, even if this is the case, Luo Sheng has decided not to fish in the movie industry. If so much money is thrown down, it will be a little bit of money. What if it catches fire?

However, Luo Sheng did not do this. The reason is very simple. If the movie theater goes online, in case the box office performance is not good, it is secondary to make no money.

The core of the advertising video is advertising and publicity. The investment of 450 million US dollars is not in the theater. This act itself has a super high topic element and can bring huge attention.

If word of mouth rises, then there will be topics such as how much box office this promotional film will get if it is released, because the film is not released, so there will be tears, then the heat and topic will come.

This is Luo Sheng's marketing strategy.

Obviously, if the news goes out, it will definitely smash the entire entertainment media community.

"Of course it is necessary."

Luo Sheng calmly said: "You think I am rich enough to do whatever I want, but this is not the case. What is a classic? At any cost, carving is a classic. Even after ten or fifteen years, I can stand at the top of the world. The quality of the picture is very simple. The debut is the pinnacle, so that some colleagues who want to launch their original virtual idols have no courage to enter this field. If he wants to play, he must look at those established by Hatsune Miku. Whether the monument can be surpassed or even surpassed, then of course I have an indirect monopoly. "

What makes movies is not what Luo Sheng is good at, but commercial competition and technology development are his specialty.

To put it another way, the current cost of creating this series of peak heights from all aspects has indirectly defeated competitors who want to enter this field, or is always pressed by the virtual idols of Bluestar Technology, without the courage to benchmark. .

This is the biggest victory.

Because there is no such company in the world that dares to duplicate Luo Sheng's gameplay. No one's money is brought by the wind. If there is one, only one party may do so. It is the big dogs in the Middle East.

Their money is indeed no different from the wind.

However, the big dogs are not interested in this at all. Although the big dogs spend money without blinking, they are not stupid ~ www.novelhall.com ~ The key is that people do not have that interest and cannot play.

Luo Sheng set the tone for a promotional film with a budget of up to $ 450 million.

As for specific creations, he is not a filmmaker and will naturally not intervene. He specializes in the art industry, and this area of ​​work is given to professional filmmakers, including songwriting and so on.

However, there is a consensus between Luo Sheng and the team members. The director of this promotional film invites director Ben Ben, the animated film industry and virtual idol elements. Please say that director Ben will not be wrong, and Luo Sheng has a good reputation. I know that virtual idols may be the top priority in the Japanese market.

No way, there are many dead houses in Japan, and now it is also the second largest economy in the world after the US Emperor, developed countries.

China will have to wait two or three years to surpass its small book economically.

Spending so much money ends up earning more money.

Not surprisingly, Hatsune Miku will take the lead in the Japanese market.
