Chapter 41 The virtual idol takes the stage

There were more than ten minutes before the concert officially began. The two of them bought two drinks in the mall and then started entering the venue.

The ticket was bought online by Jiang Wanna. When entering, just brush the bracelet at the door, which is very convenient.

While walking inside, Zhong Ming observed the layout of the entire virtual theater and found that the overall structure was a bit similar to that of the cinema, and it was divided into small halls. Each small hall did not have many seats. There were hundreds of people larger, and only dozens of seats smaller.

Jiang Wanna ordered a medium-sized hall that accommodates about two or three hundred people.

The bigger the hall, the better, each has its own advantages. Larger halls have more people, the holographic images are larger and more lively; smaller halls can be closer to the stage. Audiences buy tickets according to their preferences. The same virtual idol performances may have a little slight difference in the viewing experience in different halls, just like some movies must be watched at IMAX.

Entering Hall No. 09, Zhong Ming found that the seat layout here is not row by row like the cinema, but a circular stage, with seats distributed around the stage in a circular shape. There is a large screen above the stage, which should be live broadcast of the stage in real time, or put some subtitles, background pictures and other things; the circular stage looks like it can be rotated, and you will find that there are many mechanisms on the stage.

The show has not started yet, so the lights are still on in the hall. Zhong Ming puts the drink aside and checks it casually with a bracelet, and finds that the stage is still a bit mysterious.

All virtual idols will be presented in the form of holographic images, but it does not mean that the stage is empty. There are mechanisms under the stage, and some props will be arranged under the stage in advance and presented directly with mechanisms. For example, when playing music, some real instruments will appear on the stage, and these real instruments will be played and voiced, rather than directly playing the recorded sound.

Of course, virtual idols do not play musical instruments, and there are programmed programs inside the instruments that can be played automatically, but no matter what, the audience prefers to listen to the music played live instead of recording them in advance.

Although there is no essential difference, the audience is emotionally more inclined to the former.

Other audience members also entered the venue, and soon the lights dimmed.

"Swish!"

The lights on the stage suddenly lit up, and the background music also came out. On the stage, several illusory figures gradually appeared.

Seeing these figures, many viewers have already started to cheer and applaud!

"Ah!! Su Bai is out!! Su Bai, I love you!"

"Alice! Alice is wearing uniform today!"

"Dina! Wow, today's Dina is also full of attacks!"

Unlike what Zhong Ming imagined, this concert was completely the atmosphere of the concert. The enthusiastic fans shouted at the top of their voices, which was very popular.

Zhong Ming looked on the stage and saw that there were six virtual idols at the beginning, two men and four women. These should belong to the same company, Xinghua Interactive Entertainment, which is a bit similar to... a contracted artist from the same performing arts company.

In this world, there are not only otaku who pursue virtual idols, but also women are also an important group that cannot be ignored. Judging from the gender distribution of the audience on site, men only account for about 40%, and women are the main force. Therefore, there must be one or two male virtual idols on the stage that can suppress the venue, otherwise the female audience will not buy it.

Of course, there are also audiences like Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna who don’t chase stars but come just to listen to music, but they are just a minority.

These six virtual idols are facing audiences in different regions and are distributed in various directions of the circular stage.

This point has been noted in advance when purchasing tickets. The circular auditorium is divided into many different areas. When Su Bai's fans purchase tickets in the corresponding area, they can see more of Su Bai's face.

Therefore, tickets in the corresponding areas of some super popular virtual idols are often sold out first, just like tickets in good locations in the cinema are sold out first.

Of course, the positions of these virtual idols are not constant. The stage will rotate and the positions of virtual idols will continue to change. This is to take care of more audiences. You can't listen to a virtual idol concert, and you can only see the butts of two virtual idols throughout the whole process, which is not suitable.

These virtual idols are all very popular idols, and their personalities are very different from their personalities. Think about it, this is normal. Virtual idols that can emerge from fierce competition must have unique features in their personalities.

For example, Su Bai, who was clamoring in the audience, is a male virtual idol. Many women shouted "husband". His character is a warm man, a kind of carefree person, and he is a top student, and he never loses his temper, so he attracted many sister fans and mother fans. As a very successful oriental virtual idol, Su Bai is the signature of Xinghua Interactive Entertainment, bringing hundreds of millions of additional value.

There are also very popular female virtual idols, such as Dina, who is a Westerner, who looks like a queen. She once performed "insulting" fans at a concert, but the box office of the concert broke the record. It can be seen that the otaku is not without consumption power, but has not been stimulated.

The opening is a joint performance of six virtual idols, which is a bit like the opening of the evening party. Su Bai and Dina are responsible for singing, while others are either dancing with each other or playing musical instruments.

After the opening, various instruments rose directly from the stage, including very common folding keyboards and some more traditional instruments. Virtual idols will play them directly on these instruments, and in fact, they are all directly played with the programmed content in the instrument.

The large screen on the stage will play the edited pictures, just like a concert. These are edited in advance, and all the content played on the large screen will be the same.

Soon, at the end of the song, several virtual idols thanked each other amid the cheers of the audience, some bowed and some blew kisses, and then slowly disappeared.

At the same time, the lights hit the center of the stage, and a host wearing a dress slowly rose up while stepping on the mechanism.

"Hello everyone, welcome everyone to the concert of the virtual idol under Xinghua Interactive Entertainment! The theme of this concert is 'Ran'! I wonder if you have felt this ignition atmosphere from the singing and dancing performance just now?..."

Although this is the stage for virtual idols, the role of host is still indispensable.

Because there are some links in the middle of the concert, such as live lottery, the prize may be a song gift package of a virtual idol, peripheral products, or tickets to another concert, etc.; and it is all virtual stage performances, allowing the host to come up and play the show to better set off the atmosphere, or make some adjustments in a adaptable manner.

The host is the internal staff of this virtual theater. Just like the staff of Disneyland, he has to receive many audiences every day. The words he says are similar every day. Maybe the same sentence has to be said dozens or hundreds of times. Fortunately, his tasks are not many, that is, he shows his face at the beginning, shows his face in the middle, and shows his face at the end, and shows his face at the end. Each show will only last a few minutes.

Of course, there are also some virtual idol performances that don’t have a host at all, and they just watch movies. They watch it when they enter the venue and leave after watching it, but they always feel that there is a little loss when there is less lottery session.

After asking for two waves of applause, the host returned to the center of the stage and slowly descended down and exited the stage.

Next is the official performance of the concert.
