Chapter 31
Time returns to noon.
When the latest demo of "I Want to Become an Immortal" was released, not only Chengxian's comment section and private messages exploded, but Li Weiwei's side also exploded.
However, he had already thought of this situation, so he didn't pay attention to it, and he didn't ask customer service to pay attention to it. What needed to be done had been taken care of a few days ago.
However, the number of fans immediately exceeded 2 million, so it was time for him to prepare 2 million fan benefits.
Fortunately, he also considered this matter and called home. He felt more relieved after knowing that his father had taken care of everything.
The welfare of 2 million fans cannot be the same as that of 1 million fans. The previous thought of 1 million fans posting a video is nonsense. When the number of fans reaches this level, it is almost time to cut the leeks.
Of course, he is not taking things from fans, but giving things to fans!
In fact, what he is harvesting is not leeks, but influence.
It has been decided before that when we have 2 million fans, we will start launching products to further expand our influence. We will also go out of the circle and expand our influence to a wider range.
I just didn't expect that 2 million fans would arrive so quickly. Including his initial 650,000 fans, it would only take 20 days.
Of course, it is not as good as the reporter "Princess Fat Head Fish" from Fanxing TV Station. After all, there has been a legend about her on the website for a long time, and of course it exploded when Qian Wan Huan Shi came out.
As soon as this person updated, the comment area was filled with all major official accounts. Compared with her, what Li Laiwei lacked was official support.
However, Li Weiwei updates quickly, and the cross-updates of his roommates have combined to increase his fans. Now he is taking advantage of the popularity of Fantasy 5 to stir up troubles. The "survival rate" of 2 million fans is quite high.
So he posted a message, saying that he would have his first live broadcast tonight and give everyone 2 million fans as a bonus.
Fans discovered that he still didn’t mention anything about the parallel world in his posts, nor did he say what he was going to do. He only talked about giving out benefits. He couldn’t show his face in women’s clothing, right?
"It's true, Lao Li hasn't shown his face for such a long time. It's all because of his talent that he has attracted so many fans."
"Indeed, I was attracted by his talent, not anything else."
"Hey, didn't you just pay attention to it two days ago?"
"Novel websites prohibit writing from the neck down, but Lao Li cannot show anything from the neck up. In the video, there is only the table and his strong chest, hehehe~"
"There's something wrong with you!"
"You only looked at Lao Li's strong chest muscles, but didn't you notice that his hands are also very beautiful? Those fingers are long and thin, and they feel very powerful!"
"Fuck, there's something wrong with you all!"
"The atmosphere here is so weird, it's slipping away."
"What do you mean, I'm a girl and can't look at my hands?"
"Damn it, there's actually a female fan here!"
"..."
Having said that, it is true that many UPs will choose to show their faces after reaching tens of thousands of fans. Fans think it would not be surprising if Satomi really plans to show his face.
And it's all live broadcast. Then just ask "parallel world" and that's it. When the screen is full of "parallel world", how can Lao Li pretend not to see it?
With such emotions, many people have locked in the live broadcast time in the evening, ready to see what Lao Li looks like, is he handsome or frustrated?
Some people don’t think that the benefit of 2 million fans is this. With so many fans, it’s time to draw a lottery, right?
As for Li Future, he did not go back to his dormitory after school. Instead, he went to an e-sports Internet cafe near the school.
He is going to live broadcast tonight, but the environment in the school dormitory is really messy. Even if the roommates are obedient and silent, he can't control other students who are yelling at them.
In the past, plans couldn't keep up with the changes, but now the changes can't keep up with the changes. It seems that I still have to rent an apartment. Even if I don't use it on a regular basis, it won't be such a hassle at critical times.
This is what "being prepared for disaster" means.
He asked for a private room at an e-sports Internet cafe. After closing the door, he found that the room was indeed soundproofed as mentioned online, so he felt relieved and turned on his computer.
He plugged in his mobile hard drive and scanned the computer with the advanced anti-virus software in the mobile hard drive before he started to make preparations.
He will indeed show his face during the live broadcast, but he will not show his face completely, but will use an avatar.
Nowadays, many people who play live broadcasts do not show their real faces, but create an avatar, and then perform the live performance, but the avatar moves together by recognizing movements and facial expressions.
This kind of live performer is called "the middle person".
It's just that the current virtual live broadcast technology is not very good, and the controllability is not as good as that of ordinary MMD. Some of them do not even have 3D models, they are very papery, and the movements are less and stiffer.
Of course, this is talking about regular virtual live broadcast players who only use motion recognition. If they are big players who use motion capture, that is a different story.
But compared with Li Future's new technology, their level is the same as the gap between Fantasy 5 and Parallel World.
Li Future clicked on a small software called "Substitute Messenger", which is a software that uses a lot of parallel world technology, but mainly focuses on face pinching, precise action recognition and real-time calculations.
It can apply the core technology of "no mold wearing" to the field of virtual live broadcast.
Li Future opened the software and found a 2.5-dimensional face of a handsome guy that was similar to his own that he had pinched by playing games before. Then he pointed the camera at his own face and started to calibrate it.
Follow the prompts to blink, open your mouth, and twist your head. Many blue tracking dots will flash on the real face on the left, and the virtual face on the right will also perform the same actions.
After the calibration is completed, the real face disappears, leaving only a virtual image with a blue background.
The hairstyle of the avatar is different from his. He has short hair, while the avatar has medium-long hair and bangs on his forehead. Li Weiwei just raised his bangs in vain, while the avatar actually raised his bangs, whether it was with his hands or not.
The facial movements and hair changes are all very realistic and dynamic.
This is the power of the "Substitute Messenger" software.
After preparations were made, and with the anticipation of many fans, the live broadcast officially began.
“ohhhhhh!”
"It's begun, it's begun!"
"Why is the screen black, where are the people?"
"???"
"Yes, where are the people?"
Looking at the large number of barrages floating by, Li Weiwei behind the screen smiled unscrupulously, and then said: "Hello everyone, this live broadcast is relatively rushed, so I won't talk nonsense. Since everyone thinks so
Look at your face, then come here!"
As his voice sounded, a very handsome... 2.5-dimensional avatar appeared on the screen.
"Gan!"
"???"
"fraud!"
"Is this also called showing your face?"
"That's it? That's it?"
But no matter what, Li Mirai showed up, and he is still very handsome.
After chatting for a while and making some small jokes with the fans, he shrunk the avatar and placed it in the lower right corner, and then took the initiative to demonstrate "Parallel World" before the fans could fill their screens.
Now fans no longer bothered about his virtual appearance and started watching it seriously.
However, these fans watch different things. Some are paying attention to parallel worlds, while others are paying attention to avatars.
"You don't know if you look at it. If you look closely, this avatar is really amazing!"
"This is also a new technology, probably related to the parallel world."
"This technology is so powerful. If other virtual broadcasters also use this technology, won't it take off?"
"I have to ask XX to come over and take a look. This technology suits her so well!"
"Another new technology. There are many new technologies in Future Studio."
In fact, there is no need to call out those fans. Some people who have been playing virtual live broadcasts have been shocked when they saw this technology. They have never seen such a smart avatar that does not wear the model. Even those who use motion capture and facial recognition
The same goes for capturing.
At the very least, the mold wearing problem has no solution.
Also, when the joint part is bent, due to technical problems, the avatar is usually "hard-bent" and the bend will collapse like a plastic tube.
But here in the future, not wearing a mold is the most basic. When the joints are bent, the muscles and bones are linked. Not only the bending action is flexible, but the joints are also full.
So while Li Future was talking, he discovered that the screen was not filled with questions about "parallel worlds", but the screen was filled with questions about his avatar.
So he smiled and said: "This is a virtual live broadcast software called 'Stand-in Messenger'. After the live broadcast, I will release a trial version, which is one of the benefits for my 2 million fans."
Chapter completed!
