Chapter 41 The virtual idol takes the stage
There were still more than ten minutes before the concert officially started. The two bought two drinks at random in the mall, and then began to enter the venue.

Jiang Wanna bought the ticket online. When entering, she just swipes her wristband at the door, which is very convenient.

Zhong Ming walked inside while observing the layout of the entire virtual theater, and found that the overall structure is a bit like a movie theater, and it is also divided into small halls. The seats in each small hall are not too many. The larger ones have a few hundred people, and the smaller ones There are only dozens of seats.

Jiang Wanna booked a medium hall, which can accommodate about two to three hundred people.

This hall is not the bigger the better, each has its own advantages.Larger halls have more people, and the holographic images are larger and more lively; smaller halls can be closer to the stage.Audiences buy tickets according to their own preferences. The same virtual idol performance in different halls may have a slight difference in perception, just like some movies must be watched in IMAX.

Entering Hall 09, Zhong Ming found that the seats here are not arranged in rows like in a movie theater, 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 broadcasting the stage in real time, or put some subtitles, background images and other things; the circular stage seems to be rotatable, and if you look carefully, you will find that there are many organs on the stage .

The show hadn't started yet, so the lights were still on in the hall. Zhong Ming put the drink aside, checked with his wristband, and found that the stage was 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 traps under the stage, and some props will be arranged in advance under the stage, and then they will be presented directly with the traps.For example, when playing a piece of music, there will be some real musical instruments appearing on the stage, played and sounded by these real musical instruments, instead of playing the recorded sound directly.

Of course, virtual idols don’t know how to play musical instruments, and there are programmed programs inside the musical instruments that can play automatically, but in any case, the audience prefers to listen to live music directly rather than pre-recorded recordings.

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

Other spectators also entered the arena one after another, and soon, the lights dimmed.

"Shh!"

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

Seeing these figures, quite a few audience members started cheering and applauding!

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

"Alice! Alice is in uniform today!"

"Dina! Wow, today's Dina is also very aggressive!"

Different from Zhong Ming's imagination, this concert was completely the atmosphere of a concert, with enthusiastic fans all shouting at the top of their voices, it was very hot.

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

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

Of course, there are also audiences like Zhong Ming and Jiang Wanna who don't follow stars but come to listen to music, but they belong to the minority.

These six virtual idols are aimed at audiences in different areas, distributed in all directions of the circular stage.

This point has been indicated in advance when buying the tickets. The circular auditorium is divided into many different areas. Su Bai's fans can see more of Su Bai's face when they buy tickets for the corresponding areas.

Therefore, the tickets in the corresponding areas of some super popular virtual idols are often sold out first, just like the tickets in good positions in a movie theater are sold out first.

Of course, the positions of these virtual idols are not static. The stage will rotate, and the positions of virtual idols will also change constantly, in order to take care of more audiences.You can't listen to a virtual idol concert once, and you can only see the buttocks of two virtual idols throughout the whole process, that's not appropriate.

These virtual idols are all very popular idols, and their personalities and personalities vary greatly.It's normal to think about it, the virtual idols who can survive the fierce competition must all have unique personalities.

For example, Su Bai, who was shouting crazily in the audience, is a male virtual idol, and many women call him "husband". , so it attracted a lot of sister fans and mother fans.As a very successful oriental image virtual idol, Su Bai is the signature of Xinghua Interactive Entertainment, bringing various added values ​​of hundreds of millions.

Among female virtual idols, there are also very popular ones. For example, Tina, who has the image of a Westerner, completely looks like a queen. She once performed "abusing" fans at a concert. The box office broke the record, which shows that the nerds are not without spending power, but they are just not motivated.

The opening is the joint performance of six virtual idols, which is a bit like the opening of the party.Su Bai and Dina are responsible for singing, and the others are either supporting dancers or playing musical instruments.

After the opening, all kinds of musical instruments were raised directly under the stage, including the very common folding keyboard, and some more traditional musical instruments. The virtual idols would directly play on these musical instruments, which were actually programmed in the musical instruments. The content is played directly.

The big screens on the stage will play the edited pictures, just like a concert, these are all edited in advance, and the content played on all the big screens is the same.

Soon, the song ended, several virtual idols thanked each other amidst 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 in a dress stepped on the mechanism and slowly rose.

"Hi everyone, welcome to the virtual idol concert of Xinghua Interactive Entertainment! The theme of this concert is 'burning'! I wonder if you have felt this burning atmosphere from the song and dance performance just now? ..."

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

Because there are some links in the middle of the concert, such as on-site lottery, the prizes may be a virtual idol’s song spree, peripheral products, or tickets to another concert, etc.; and all of them are virtual stage performances. The host can come up to the scene to better enhance the atmosphere of the scene, or make some adjustments according to the situation.

The host is an internal employee of this virtual theater, just like the staff of Disneyland, they have to receive many audiences every day, and the words they say are similar every day, and the same sentence may be said dozens or hundreds of times, but fortunately In fact, there are not many tasks for him, that is, to show his face at the beginning, show his face in the middle, and show his face again at the end. The time he appears on the stage for each scene is only a few minutes.

Of course, there are also some virtual idol performances without a host at all, just like watching a movie, you can watch it when you enter the venue, and leave after watching it, but you always feel that it is a bit of a loss without the lucky draw.

After the host asked for two waves of applause, he returned to the center of the stage, stepped on the mechanism and slowly descended to exit.

Next is the official performance of the concert.

These six virtual idols will appear on stage one by one, and each virtual idol has its own program.
