The Trickster's Ninth Episode

"I do know."

"No such thing!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, speaking completely different words.

"..." This completely opposite reaction naturally caused Parry to remain silent. "Didn't I hear from Yu Gong that you have taken care of him a lot?"

"That's true, but maybe when I went up to try to communicate, my method was a little more intense, so it wasn't very flattering." Amamiya Ren took the initiative to round things up with a smile, and then turned her head and said to Kagura Mea. "Do you want to order something, Kagura-san? The menu is here, if..."

"Curry is fine, thank you." Kagura Mea said quickly.

"Okay, wait a minute." Yu Gonglian replied briefly, and then ran to the back kitchen.

It was obvious that he was not fit to be around that table right now.

Jinghua raised his head and glanced at Parry and Kagura Mea. It was obvious that now was not the time for him to intervene in the topic.

So Jinghua silently lowered his sense of existence, and looked down at the food in front of him.

According to etiquette, he should wait for everyone to pick up the chopsticks before starting.

But what's the etiquette with Parry?

Began to eat!

After watching Ren Amamiya walk away, Kagura breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked Parry angrily, "Why is this guy here?"

"Huh? Yugong works here every Sunday, because it's a rare opportunity to eat his dishes, so Jinghua and I chose this place for the meeting." Parry briefly explained. "And from the information I heard from your respective mouths before, aren't you very familiar with each other?"

"..." Kagura pursed her lips and explained indiscriminately. "I lost face in front of this guy when I was working..."

"That's it? It's okay, Yugong is a nice guy, and he won't laugh at you. I guess he doesn't remember it now." Parry said comfortingly.

"Of course I know he won't laugh at me..." Kagura turned her head and muttered.

"What?" Because the voice was too low for Parry to hear.

"Nothing!" Kagura Mea turned around and immediately denied.

"Anyway, you've also talked with Amamiya about Vtuber, and you should be considered as insiders, so it's more appropriate to discuss it here."

Parry thought seriously, and said to Kagura Mea seriously.

"To be honest, you suddenly told me about this matter, and I don't know how to respond better."

"So you really think about it? Isn't it just a whim?"

"Want to be a Vtuber or something?"

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

(two chapters in one)

"Of course it's serious! Anyway, you know a little bit about my situation, and basically there will be no progress if this continues. I think the Vtuber method is quite suitable for me." Kagura Mea said without nutrition talk. "And I also checked the relevant information on the Internet. Although most of them don't understand, but all in all, this industry is quite promising at present, right?"

"I don't understand..." Parry looked at Kagura Mea speechlessly for a while, although what you said was correct in terms of the result, but one can't help but wonder whether this has been seriously considered. "May I know how long you've been thinking about it?"

"Why! Anyway, aren't you the one who is recruiting? Just follow the process." Kagura Mea looked at Parry vigilantly. Could it be that this person is about to change his mind suddenly?

"That's what I said, but my original intention was to see if the other party was interested. I probably did it because I was interested in it and thought I could do it. Even if it didn't work, it wouldn't be a big problem." Parry said with some distress. "You suddenly told me that you plan to become a full-time professional, and I was very worried whether you would lead your friend to a bad path...or it can't be said to be a bad path, maybe it's not suitable for you. .”

Originally, Palichun was interested in finding someone to be a Vtuber, and Meng Naoshi, who he was looking for before, also agreed in terms of friendship and interest.Although I also thought about the possibility that a staff member would ask me to ask for a manuscript, but the first person who planned to take the staff route was actually my friend, so Pali's mood at the moment was very complicated.

It's not that Parry didn't think about talking about some stakes with Kagura Mea.If you want to change jobs, it is better to try to apply for a job in a company, but on the one hand, Kagura mea is not an adult. Although she has live broadcast experience, she is honestly close to an amateur.At the same time, Kagura Mea's family does not support her in the live broadcasting industry, so Kagura Mea has no financial conditions to pursue 3D models or live2d with a relatively high price.

"Hmm..." Kagura Mea looked away uncomfortably, and Parry's sudden concern made her very uncomfortable. "You think too much, I haven't graduated from high school yet! Maybe I will die violently soon, and maybe I will give up soon."

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that this is a blunt mouth, saying that they are ready to fail and have no regrets, but whoever has really decided to go a certain path is not eager to succeed or succeed?

"Okay, since that's the case, I'll help you draw." Seeing that Kagura Mea was determined, Parry didn't intend to persuade her anymore, and agreed. "Speaking of which, have you ever thought about what route you're going to take?"

"Thought it out!" Kagura Mea replied as a matter of course.

"What route are you going to take?" Parry asked.

"...I don't want to say." Kagura Mea was silent for a while, refusing to answer.

"?" Parry was taken aback by the sudden lack of cooperation. "Why? Didn't you say that you basically didn't understand the news on the Internet? You can tell us and we can help you out together!"

"That..." At this time, Jinghua intervened in the topic at the right time. "Regarding this matter, why don't you ask the existing professional and informed people?"

While talking about Jinghua, she pouted towards Yu Gonglian, so there was no need to say much about the meaning.

"Huh? Did you guys talk about me?" During the conversation, Ren Amamiya also prepared curry and presented it. At the same time, she noticed that the sight and atmosphere of these people were a bit strange, and said tentatively.

Parry looked at Kagura Mea speechlessly, which means, if you have no objection, I will say it!

Kagura Mea suddenly became extremely entangled, a strong sense of shame was urging her to stop immediately, but there was another force suppressing her urge to stop.

The most red, she just looked away stiffly, which was a tacit consent.

"Actually, it's like this..." Parry, who understood it, explained it to Yu Gonglian.

......

"Is Kagura-san planning to become a Vtuber too?" Ren Amamiya turned to look at Kagura Mea after listening.

"Hey!" Kagura Mea shrank back a little numbly. "You, you, why are you so happy? It's disgusting."

"Well! How should I put it? After listening to it just now, there is a kind of fool who is on the road of no return. When he is doubting himself, he suddenly feels at ease when he sees his companion." Yu Gonglian thought about the wording and explained like this .

"Huh?" Kagura Mea didn't react at all, she turned to look at Parry and Jinghua. "Did I get scolded?"

"I didn't mean that, please listen to my explanation and you should be able to understand." Amamiya Ren smiled and went to the side of Jinghua, which is the opposite of Kagura Mea.

Jinghua Pali sat facing this, while Kagura Mea sat behind, and sat next to Pali, with the seat on the outside.

"Actually, if you use live2d to make your debut like me, it's not a good choice." Umiya Ren bluntly poured cold water on them from the beginning. "What follows is just my speculation, but I think it should be quite accurate."

"Write a plan in advance, and then make a video with program effects to accumulate popularity and profit. Vtuber is still taking this kind of video as the mainstream, and for the production of video programs, the advantage of 3D is that L2D can't do it anyway. In comparison, L2D lacks plasticity, so L2D is doomed to only rely on distribution to accumulate popularity, and it may become a situation in which it can only rely on distribution to make profits in the future.”

"At least until the ip I run can receive commercial activities."

"Strictly speaking, video and distribution have their own advantages and disadvantages. However, because the video trend has been formed for a long time, there is already a relatively mature industry chain, while the live broadcast has just started. Although it has potential, it has not yet entered the sight of investors."

"This is a vicious circle. If people don't pay attention to it, then commercial cooperation will naturally be nonsense. If you don't have enough strength, you will be underestimated and you will be at a disadvantage in the entire industry. L2D may have a way to break the status quo, but at present There is no hope."

"Aren't you even good at Yugong?" The more Jinghua heard, the more he felt something was wrong, as if he had no future.

"Although I am currently the most successful Vtuber in L2D, but because my personal composition is too complicated and there are too many labels on me, everything about me cannot be used as a reference for others, so in the eyes of others, I should be It is an unrepeatable case. Therefore, this embarrassing status quo cannot be broken by me."

"Besides, in a sense, I also follow the video trend route. I use my own ability to overcome the disadvantage that L2D is not suitable for video production, and rely entirely on video quality to speak. In other words, I currently put aside the virtual image. One point, there is no significant difference from those game anchors on Youtube.”

"This is also the reason why I am still suffering from some human inflammation. You should also know about this aspect."

Speaking of this, Ren Amamiya shrugged and made a small joke, but the atmosphere did not become more relaxed.

"My behavior is still unable to clearly define the difference between Youtuber and Vtuber, which is one of the reasons why I cannot break the status quo."

"But don't be too pessimistic. This is just a market disadvantage that the current L2D-based live broadcast will face. Next..."

"Will there be a turning point next?" Jinghua looked over expectantly.

"No, the living environment of the next live broadcast will be even worse." Yu Gonglian gave a completely opposite answer with a smile. "Because the virtual reality of the Yasen Group is about to go online."

"But this is actually not bad news." Yu Gonglian continued.

"Because the method is dead, but people are alive. L2D can work hard towards 3D, and the emergence of virtual reality has greatly lowered the threshold of 3D in a sense. Vtubers don't have to nail themselves to video potential or On either side of the live broadcasting situation, the emergence of virtual reality gives us more choices. For example, I now belong to both sides, of course, it will be very tiring to take care of both at the same time.”

"If live broadcasting is the only way out for L2D, then 3D is impartial to both video and live broadcasting. However, due to the difference in personal quality, live broadcasting cannot fully guarantee the program effect, so most Vtubers have chosen the safe one. Make a video itinerary.”

"And virtual reality, although it is also a medium that takes into account both live broadcast and video, but at this stage, there is no doubt that video will gain greater advantages in virtual reality."

This is because the current virtual reality is not yet perfect, there are not many options for live broadcasting, and the problem of camera following has not been perfectly solved.

As far as video production is concerned, the current functions of virtual reality are already a huge leap over traditional media, and the unrealized part of virtual reality has not brought much trouble to video production.Almost beneficial rather than harmful.

But in contrast, the potential development of video potential from virtual reality has a much lower upper limit than live broadcast potential.

However, the potential development means nothing to current practitioners. This is destined to be a very difficult time, and it is foreseeable that few people will persist.

And even if we stick to it, from the perspective of practitioners, the future market video potential and live broadcast potential will be equal. When the balance of the trend has been out of balance, equality is actually a kind of unfairness.Unless something happened to the video player and his crotch was pulled suddenly, it would be difficult for the live broadcast player to catch up.

The reason why Amamiya Ren will not persuade those who choose to join the battlefield at this time is to persuade people such as Rainbow Club, Togo One Two Three, Kagura Mea, and even Jinghua who plans to form a plan with Shera.It is because once it can survive at this time, the rewards that can be obtained will also be huge.

Of course it is unwise to debut as L2D at this time. If you want to achieve a relatively stable development, it is best to enter the industry after a while.At that time, these low-threshold people with limited entry budgets could at least have an easier time displaying their abilities.But at the same time, the loss of suffering also loses the corresponding compensation.

"When the situation is already out of balance, putting equal weight on both sides is actually tantamount to helping the momentum."

"Of course, this is not entirely bad news." Ugonglian changed the topic again. "How difficult the future of live broadcasting is, that is for the general trend of the entire industry. For practitioners, these are actually good things. The emergence of virtual reality has caused the market that was about to be saturated to begin to expand crazily. But at the same time, the video market cannot absorb all the audience. The division between the audience will be clearer, and the advantages of the live broadcast market compared with the video market will be more prominent.”

"The most important thing is that one of the major factors that live broadcast is inferior to video - the convenience of platform and communication, will be greatly wiped out."

"These are the weapons for L2D practitioners to compete with 3D practitioners in the early stage."

"But at the same time, I need to warn you that although the speed of market expansion is much faster than the current industry's digestion speed. However, it is foreseeable that the competition in the industry will become more and more fierce. When you enter the battlefield at this time, you can have a period of time to hone your skills. Practice your immature personal abilities, but this kind of easy life will not last long. If you want to survive in the current, and even the tragic era in the future, you must be 12 serious about this profession.”

"...Hoo..." After talking for a long time, Ren Yugong breathed out, feeling that her mouth was a little dry, and took a sip from the water glass at hand, and concluded. "I don't mean to hurt you. The current situation is both suffering and opportunity. The era of fierce competition is not far away. If you think about the time to live more easily, you have to lay the foundation as much as possible now to catch up. .”

"..."

"..."

The three people on the side listened to Amamiya Ren's eloquence about the status quo and future of the entire industry, and they were all dumbfounded at the moment. Even Jinghua, who could originally be able to reconcile the atmosphere, had become talkative at this time. I can't speak.

"...Why are you all looking at me like this?" Yu Gonglian picked up the cup and planned to take another sip, but the movement stopped when the cup was brought to her mouth.

"Are you really Yugong?" Jinghua couldn't help poking Yugonglian's face with his finger.

"Of course it's me! What are you thinking?"

"I always feel that the words just now are not something a high school student can say." Jinghua said in a daze.

"Yes, yes, yes, it feels like the chairman of a big company." Parry nodded again and again.

"That's right, there is a kind of courage [we plan to change the world next]." Jinghua added.

"..." Kagura Mea couldn't make any comments, but felt a little dazed.Inexplicably, I also felt a little dry mouth, so I reached for my water glass.

...then she realizes her water glass is missing.

Kagura Mea looked around for less than a second, and her eyes fell on Amamiya Ren's hands.

At this time, Amamiya Ren also noticed Kagura Mea's gaze, and looked at the cup in her hand in the direction she was looking.

Ren Amamiya, as LeBron's one-day shopkeeper, did not cook a meal for herself, so naturally there would be no glass of water belonging to him on the table.
