The Rebirth of the Internet Celebrity Godfather

Entering August, A-soul began to build momentum for their debut.

On August 6, the official account of the A-soul virtual idol girl group X station was established and the video "A-soul, the virtual idol girl group's annual project, is here, so stay tuned!!!".

The content of the video is the silhouettes of five small animals. Although the video is only 40 seconds long and the details of the portraits are not shown, only the black outlines can be seen, but it still shocked the people in the V circle.

He exclaimed: The power of capital is so fucking awesome!

The five little ones are also said to be born with a silver spoon in their mouths.

The concept of virtual anchors has been around for a long time. If we trace its origins, "Hatsune Miku" who was born on August 31, 2007 should be regarded as the earliest virtual anchor.

Domestically, the open source management model adopted by the virtual idol "Luo Tianyi", which was modeled after "Hatsune Miku" and also used VOCALOID, also set off a trend of fandom and secondary creation. It also gradually became popular among the public and became an early example of domestic virtual idols.

represent.

However, the reason why they can barely be counted is because Hatsune Miku and Luo Tianyi are still different from the "virtual anchors" that are now generally recognized.

The biggest difference is that Hatsune Miku, Luo Tianyi and other people who control the virtual anchor.

Baidu Encyclopedia believes that the concept of virtual anchor was pioneered by Kizuna Ai in the form of a "virtual YouTuber" in November 2016. Kizuna Ai is also recognized as the first virtual YouTuber.

After the birth of Kizunai, the concept of virtual anchor quickly became popular.

"[Self-introduction] Let me introduce you to my name, my name is Ranqing"

Countless people are curious about what a virtual anchor is, and what A-soul is! They actually asked Cheng Yi and Zhou Wuxing to collaborate on writing songs for them to support their debut.

On September 5, the video "[Original Music] "Stars and Seas" A-soul's first single released" was released on the third day. The video received 3 million views, and "Stars and Seas" was listed on the QQ Music New Song List.

First.

This is something that ordinary people can’t even imagine, something that ordinary companies can’t handle, and something that capital is reluctant to invest in.

This video went straight to the top of the daily charts that day, with a frightening number of views of 2.2 million, and there was a faint trend of breaking out of the circle.

How can one describe it as "awesome"?

Lyricist: Cheng Yi, Zhou Wanjue.

This year, the number of virtual anchors has exploded. This craze has swept Xiaobaga and quickly spread to the world.

The reason why I chose this song is precisely because of what it represents: Our journey is the sea of ​​stars!

In the previous life, Leroy Group’s version of A-soul debuted in 2020. To be honest, 2020 is already relatively late. The V circle had already developed by that time. Although A-soul was more successful, it was all the result of money.

Personal potential: refers to a virtual UP master who is planning, video production, live broadcasting and other activities alone.

Cheng Yi has better eyesight, and the four puppies have different development levels. Some of them are just showing their sharp horns, and some have reached a level that makes him exclaim. They are quite interesting, and Cheng Yi's heart collapsed on the spot.

, nosebleeds almost spurted out.

"[Self-introduction] First time we meet, I am Nianhua"

The difference is simply immeasurable, and it is a natural defeat.

Total loss!

Especially China, which both belongs to Asia and has relatively small differences in culture.

A week later, A-soul's official account released the video "[3D Model Display] A-soul's Regular Clothes".

Arranged by: Cheng Yi, Zhou Wudi.

Many powerful virtual anchors feel despair and suddenly feel that their future is bleak. How can this be compared? This is not on the same level at all!

Accompanied by the exquisite three-dimensional paintings of the five little ones, the five little ones performed a perfect performance of "Stars in the Sea" and completely became a blockbuster!

It not only shocked the industry, but also became popular outside the industry.

Of course, after all this money is spent, the effect will be full. The model must be as refined as possible, and the motion capture must be as accurate as possible.

What words?

In China, fans of virtual anchors are mainly concentrated in Station X, which has the highest concentration of two-dimensional content.

That is to say, Cheng Yi, who returned from the later generations, had this outstanding vision and accomplished this feat, which is a big deal in the V circle around the world.

As soon as he got out of the garage, Cheng Yi saw four other little ones playing in the swimming pool.

The song "Stars and Sea" was written by Qu Ziqian, Liu Tao, and Wen Xun in the previous life, composed by Qu Ziqian, Liu Tao, and sung by Huang Xiaoyun. It was released on January 15, 2021. Because of its profound meaning, the song

It was selected as the theme song of the lunar exploration project documentary series "Our Journey", and was ranked among the top ten hottest songs in 2021, beating "White Moonlight and Cinnabar Mole".

As soon as the five self-introduction videos were posted, they either performed talents, talked shows, or told jokes to make the audience happy. The five little ones had distinctive personalities and gained countless followers instantly. Among them, Jiaran gained the most followers. As of the live broadcast date of September 17,

Her number of fans has reached 500,000.

Vocal: A—soul.

Youth is invincible, happy together, very fragrant.

Some of the four little ones wore shorts, some wore the kind with a lotus leaf on the chest, some wore suspenders, and some wore one-shoulder ones.

Among them, some of the most popular lyrics are:

"Will our love be blown to the sea by the wind and never come back aiaiaiaiai~ Whenever you come to me, tell me the stars and the sea, wuwuuwuwuwuwuwuwu~"

If you include this 6 million villa, it is already 10 million smaller.

Many virtual anchors who have been working hard for more than half a year are crying without tears. How can this be justified? Blame us for not being a regular army, blame us for not being praised by Cheng Yi and Zhou Judong?

If it reflects the science of reincarnation, the virtual anchor of human status is a mountain baby born in a ravine, and the five little A-souls are the little princesses of the top wealthy family in the Imperial Capital who are loved by thousands of people.

Community potential: It exists between personal potential and corporate potential. The group it belongs to is not an enterprise, but is composed of virtual UP main related fans.

Parking the car into the garage, Jiaran, with wet hair and a white bathrobe wrapped around her body, with a nice blush on her face, ran over panting and opened the car door for Cheng Yi.

Since the birth of Kizunai, virtual anchors have become very popular, but the market in China is not yet mature and the future is unclear.

Some veteran virtual anchors were also stunned, calling it too outrageous and bullying!

Capital bosses don’t dare to leave. There are not many virtual anchors with corporate power. Most of them are virtual anchors with personal power. They are all spontaneous among the people. They find the cheapest painters and use the lowest level of motion capture to generate electricity for love.

.

While talking to Jiaran, Cheng Yi walked out of the garage.

There are not many associations, so even though I spent some money, it wasn't much. Not to mention the ugly graphics, the model is also very rough.

Enterprise situation: Backed by a company/firm, compared to personal situation, you can get technical support, resource allocation and other support from the company, and you can also gain more exposure when you debut.

"Hmm, it's hot, and they are all soaking in the swimming pool~ Teacher, do you want to swim together?"

The quality is no less than the previous one, or even slightly better.

In the introduction, the names of Cheng Yi and Zhou Dianjue are extremely eye-catching.

This is a veritable video that has gained 500,000 followers. The most important thing is that she has not officially broadcast it live yet, so it became popular before it was broadcast, but that's all.

"No, I'm not hot." Cheng Yi waved his hand.

On August 25, A-soul's original music "Stars and Sea" released a pilot version.

So the song became:

After the first video was released, it received 1.8 million views, 105,000 likes, and 77,000 coins.

"[Self-introduction] I am Shino, and I will be stationed at Station X from today~"

The appeal of the new song collaborated by Zhou Dongjue and Cheng Yi is so strong, and the quality of "Sea of ​​Stars" is very high, which has led to the concept of virtual anchor, and it has become a hot search on illegal blogs!

Not to mention anything else, model + software + facial capture equipment + motion capture equipment + high-configuration computer + training of five young dogs + salary + signing bonus, after a set of processes, Cheng Yi spent three million before his debut, on average.

Six hundred thousand per person.

The reveal of five small and exquisite models immediately caused an uproar in the V circle.

Netizens said that the fifth child was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, which is not true at all.

"Teacher, you are here!"

And according to the group they belong to, virtual UP owners are divided into three categories: "personal power", "enterprise power" and "community power".

Isn't it hot?

When Jiaran saw the sweat on Cheng Yi's temples, his eyes curled up. The teacher was really a gentleman!

Cheng Yi looked her up and down and saw water droplets still flowing on her white and tender calves. After standing for a while, the ground became wet. He asked:

"Are you in the pool?"

Cheng Yi advanced it by two years and launched A-soul in 2018. This was simply a dimensionality reduction attack, and it was no more than dropping a small nuclear bomb in the newly emerging V circle.

It can leave a lasting mark and gain an extraordinary historical status.

It is very suitable as the debut song of the Five Little Ones.

It was because of memorizing these lyrics that Cheng Yi asked Zhou Wanjuan to tinker with a specious version.

The number of followers of A-soul's official account exceeded 1 million. Cheng Yi struck while the iron was hot and asked the five little ones to create their own accounts and publish their own self-introduction videos:

"[Self-introduction] Hello everyone, I am Jiaran, I made my debut today!"

The old porn fans in the V circle are excited. This cute portrait, this fatal appearance, and this damn character are so attractive!

Wife, wife, wife!

Composer: Cheng Yi, Zhou Wudi.

On September 2, the video "[Original music] "Stars and Sea" A-soul's first single released" was released.

"[Self-introduction] Just dance a ballet"

What is this nonsense?!

Going to the swimming pool with a group of underage girls cannot be said to be too much of a punishment. I can only say that it is too judgmental and cannot be imprisoned.

He quickly withdrew his gaze and said to Jiaran beside him:

"Ahem, I'm going to the room first. You ask them to put on their clothes. I'll wait for you in the lobby."

"Good teacher!"

Jiaran followed the order and turned her back, the smile in her eyes became even stronger.

Although the teacher is a gentleman, he is also very astringent~
