Wuming: Shit!What did you teach Brother Xiao? !

Verdict: Aren't you the one who speaks Daqin dialect in this group?

Wuming: We are reasonable, there are too many people who speak Daqin dialect.

Akira: In short, the general situation is like this. I still have part-time work early on Sunday morning, so I slipped away first.

Mr. Cat: Is it okay to work part-time?Is Zhou Ke'er really a student?

Gu Xinxuan: There is no necessary connection between part-time jobs and students.

Laosang: But the word [part-time job] in Japan usually refers to part-time labor, right?At least it can prove that Zhou Keer is very young?

Card guy: You can tell you are young by watching the live broadcast!I don't think it will be more than 27 years old.

Gu Xinxuan: It’s strange, Zhou Ke’er’s Chinese level can’t tell that he is Japanese.

Muggle: You can still see a bit of Japanese flavor when you speak official Chinese, but other than that, you really look like a domestic netizen.

Saint Gun: So what?Is it not a good time to post pictures?

Gu Shingen: Send!There is no conflict between Shitu and chatting about business.

Gardener: There is nothing wrong with being astringent!

Norn: Just don't swipe your screen.

Nuo En: I have seen the chat records in the group on the forum, come on, the inner ghost is more conscious.

Gu Xinxuan: Shit!Sieve group.

Echizen: The fan base has always been sieved, how normal.

Sixteen: This Echizen is so eager to stand up, I'm afraid it's either he or the ghost.

Echizen: How do you defile people's innocence out of thin air? !

Peace of mind: Although the chat records have been leaked, it should be fine, right?I feel that if this matter is exposed, it will only make the other groups jealous.

Brand guy: One thing to say, indeed.

Xin An: Although it may be a little owed, but when I think that other groups are envious and jealous, I feel so happy!

Old Sang: Fuck, it's a bit cool for you to say that.

Muggle: Go together, go together.What about links?

Norn: [Link]

Gardener: Fuck, this is the one who had the most fun shopping.

Chapter 46 Rock Candy Attack, see !

On this day, some people are very manic, and some people are very confused.

If the Japanese Vtuber circle has tended to take shape, and the international Vtuber circle has just started, then the Chinese Vtuber circle can probably be called isolated from the world.

So some people are very confused, what is this thing that was repeatedly reposted by people in the Q group today?

After a brief understanding, oh!It turned out to be the second player in the world... so who is it?

The second in the world sounds a bit low!Who is number one in the world?

I have to say that Umiya Ren's player status is actually much better than his Vtuber status, just like this time out of the circle today, someone asked you what you reposted?If you say Vtuber, most likely no one knows.

You say that you are the second best player in the world, then a bunch of people who know "oh oh oh" suddenly realized, and a bunch of people who didn't know also "oh oh oh" suddenly realized, and then hurriedly searched for information secretly.

If Ren Amameiya's deeds as a player are more impressive, and his popularity is higher, then some people who don't know who he is, will search the information intensively and pretend to be his senior fans.

Of course, it's also possible that he didn't search the information intensively, but just took a cursory look, and claimed to be his senior fan.Whenever I meet people, I say, "Come to Qixiao! The one who plays basketball, right? I've always liked him."

In conclusion, no matter whether it is a real or a fake acquaintance, Umiya Ren is indeed out of the circle - out of the circle in a small range, breaking through the topic of the V circle, but still unable to break through the circle of ACG.

After all, strictly speaking, Ren Amameiya did not do anything shocking today.When the passer-by party asked "what's the matter with the voice", the insider couldn't come up with a very interesting melon to share, so naturally it wouldn't have much spread.

However, although it did not cause much repercussions outside the circle, this incident was a big blow up inside the circle.

This is the manic wave of people - why can you interact with your tweets if everyone is DD?

At a time when almost all Vtuber-related content in China is pirates at this stage, the existence of the Laiqixiao group is particularly eye-catching.

Originally, at the very beginning, you said that you had obtained the official authorization, so the official authorization is the official authorization. Although Lai Qixiao is considered to be very popular in Vtuber, it is after all a personal power.As for personal potential, if I have a more talkative personality, I may be able to get authorization by going to Twitter and just @ing it.

There are so many Youtube videos on Bilibili that have been authorized to repost. What’s so special about authorization?

Later, I heard that it was going to be reorganized. The subtitle group, which was not very big, would be divided into official and non-official groups. The official group still had to bear the responsibility?This matter is not easy to evaluate. Originally, everyone uses love to generate electricity, and they come and go whenever they want. [No need to be responsible] is the source of a relaxed and happy mood.

The best way to destroy a hobby is to turn it into a job. People are willing to use love to generate electricity because of hobbies. Do you want to engage in employment?There are many people who are not happy about that.

Although the reorganization is slightly controversial, most people can still understand this kind of operation intellectually. Vtuber has always followed the route of a public figure, and it is very strict in shaping its own image.

Giving authorization to others without taking responsibility is somewhat smug.Even people who are okay with this, at most, feel that their comfort zone has been squeezed.Logically, there is no problem at all.

Later, I heard that Lai Qixiao's Chinese is very good, and he made a self-introduction video in Chinese according to the suggestion of the translation team.

This is very enviable.

Then the video came out, in which he directly thanked the members of the translation team, and gave away things, and made it by himself-at least he said it was made by himself.

For the time being, there is no way to prove the authenticity of this matter. Considering that Lai Qixiao is a person, the possibility of truth is not small.

So far, it can be summarized as the process of [Laiqixiao Translation Group] gradually becoming specialized in the circle.

A Vtuber with a good-looking model is not special; the person in the middle is very capable, which is considered an advantage, but it is not too special; he has a good personality, is easy to talk, and is willing to understand the plot of pirates and China’s special network environment. A very gracious plus point, but not really that special.

But what if a Vtuber took the initiative to put Chinese subtitles on his video, hoping to let you see it?

This behavior was even before the translation team was formed.

What's more, after the establishment of the official translation team, there are still many videos translated by V himself, and the proportion of work is not small.

This is so unbalanced.

This feeling is especially strong for other team members who are also doing Vtuber translation work.It can almost be foreseen that after this wave of hot topics, they are eager to talk to their tweeters, and their desire to obtain authorization will be unprecedentedly high.

But to be honest, I hope they don't have too much expectation, because people's energy is limited, and the Vtuber industry is still in the development stage in the international scope, which means that it has not yet gained a firm foothold in Youtube, which is close to the mountain. , As long as Vtuber has a normal operation plan, it probably won't think of developing in China.

Even if the situation of the enterprise is like this, let alone the situation of the individual who doesn't know whether he can survive in his own freshwater lake.

The above-mentioned problems are one of the main reasons, and another reason is that there is not enough soil for the development of this industry in China for the time being. Without a fan base, V, who was already living a difficult life, may come because of the lack of energy input and rewards. I can't live anymore.

You must know that other people can't cross the language barrier without threshold like Ren Amamiya. There are many things to consider when being an anchor, such as your own audience, fans' hobbies, and planning choices.These all require energy and time, and are all costs, and the language barrier greatly aggravates this cost. It is really too difficult to take care of multiple platforms at the same time.

In the final analysis, the development time of this industry is still too short.Many things have not yet been established, and there are no rules.

Therefore, if there is no external force to intervene, the chances of the other translation team hitting a wall are extremely high, and Lai Qixiao's specialness may last for a long time.

But from another perspective, Lai Qixiao operates multiple platforms at the same time, which is itself developing the soil for the survival of Vtubers.As mentioned earlier, the cost of operating multiple platforms is too high, but since it is an investment, there is still a probability of getting a return, but the risk factor is also extremely high.

As for whether Yu Gonglian can get a return that matches the input cost, there should be no need to worry.

Well, don't worry, because the return will definitely not match the cost he invested.

This is something that can be figured out a little bit.

All the outings of Ren Amamiya so far - making large-scale games, releasing singles, making fan games, developing automatic photography software, doing business in Chinese...

Not to mention the [Automatic subtitle translation program in eight languages ​​on the VR side] that Ren Amamiya and Blank are co-developing.

Although Ren Amamiya will not release this software for free, it will definitely open the door for the Vtuber industry and give it a little preferential treatment. .

For the things mentioned above, it can be said that except for [Chinese business], which can be regarded as free prostitution by virtue of the "native language advantage", all other cases are that he unilaterally produces value without asking for anything in return.

If I had to say what I got in return, it would probably only be [happiness]... Perhaps the word [happiness] would be more appropriate.

And what has become of these things that have been invested but not returned?

Nature is turned into soil.

If you want to make an industry rise, there are actually two ways to go to the extreme.One is the ultimate commercialization, lowering costs, testing customers, finding the bottom line of customers and the optimal solution in business, and then producing 60-point works through the assembly line extremely efficiently.

Mark something with an appropriate price, and make investment decisions based on the current market and future research. Customers drive the market, the market attracts capital, and capital returns to customers.After the progress of development reaches a certain equilibrium point, it is no longer willing to move, and develops slowly in a cycle that is barely sustainable.

The other method is to let a certain pioneer expand the market, lower the threshold, ignore the business twists and turns, just attract resources, and then put them there for the latecomers to take by themselves.

In terms of analogy, one person first comes up with a good thing with 120 points, and then induces the latecomers to create things with 80 points, 100 points...or even 140 points.Then use this to attract more latecomers.

These two models actually have real cases-that is, Xingyue and Dongfang.

Of course, these two real Amway are not as extreme as the theory mentioned above.

However, one thing is certain - that is a circle, to have a strong person who is willing to give up most of the material interests to bet on it is a genius for both practitioners and consumers in this circle. Big blessing.

Oda Nobuhime said in the chat earlier that the Vtubers who belonged to Mindjack regard Lai Qixiao as similar to Kizuna Ai, not entirely because these Vtubers think that Umiya Ren has a noble status and may be their future boss.

The more important reason is that these Vtubers are really enjoying the favor brought by Lai Qixiao.

The fan game "Traveler's Trial" developed by Lai Qixiao now has a bunch of Vtubers streaming live.The heat brought by this game is still heating up, and it doesn't mean to calm down for the time being.

The L2D brought up by Lai Qixiao, although there is no shortage of 3D resources in Mindjack, the existence of L2D allows distribution planning to have more options, especially making distribution very convenient. From a large number of 3D devices, it is simplified to use The mobile phone can broadcast live.

There is also the automatic photography that has been developed in the past few days. In fact, this function has not been officially implemented on the VR side, but the Vtubers of Mindjack have already obtained the internal beta version. Now they basically cannot do without this thing for VR live broadcast. .

Such a variety, do not continue to detail.

So Ren Amameiya is really like Kizuna Ai, broadening the original path of this industry, and at the same time opening up a new path.Became another kind of pioneer who is similar to but not the same as Kizuna Ai.

Matters at this level, as the audience, the translation team and general DDs will naturally not notice, but changes in the environment are actually happening.

For example, now, the topic about Renna Amamiya, which has not aroused much response outside the circle, is still being circulated in various Q groups as a topic that can waste 5 minutes of time watching a fresh conversation.

The translation teams are basically active at station B, so the spread of this matter inevitably covers more circles at station B.
