Chapter 505 New Product Launch (Previous)
Future Group's new product launch preview has aroused widespread heated discussion in the market, which directly spread to May Day.
On the Internet, relevant news can be said to be overwhelming.
In particular, some of the pessimistic news headlines attracted countless traffic.
I have to say, it really is ‘if the title is good, the traffic will not be less’.
Regarding the negative outlook in the industry, many otakus in the island country are quite looking forward to it.
Although they already have Hatsune Miku, it does not affect them from embracing Luo Tianyi.
and.
In terms of image, Luo Tianyi is better than Hatsune Miku.
These days, appearance trumps everything!
May 9th.
Lu Yi took the troops and took a charter flight to the island country.
On the plane, Lu Yi was practicing Japanese poorly with a notebook.
"Hello...but wake up..."937"..."
"Good morning...oh haha, auntie is dead..."
"Thank you...Arigado..."
Lu Yi practiced the Chinese phonetic notation on the notebook, complaining in her heart.
I think back then, when I was learning English, it was the same.
Give your mother three pills... Love Tiger Oil...
It’s funny to think about it now.
Fortunately, Lu Yi's learning ability is still very strong.
In just a few hours, I mastered some short and commonly used Japanese.

The plane landed at East Meridian International Airport, walked out of the terminal, got into a Maybach luxury car, and went straight to a business hotel in Akihabara.
Akihabara, commonly known as AKIBA, is located in Chiyoda District, the east longitude capital of the island country, and belongs to the Shitani area.
It is bounded by Showa Street to the east, Kuramae Bridge Street to the north, Chiyoda Ward Soto Kanda 4-chome to the west, and Kanda Nenhori Town and Kanda Matsunaga Town of Chiyoda Ward to the south. It is a more open-air street that keeps pace with the cutting-edge industries of the times.
Akihabara is just outside the east gate of the old East Meridian. After World War II, a black market selling rare and high-quality electronic products formed here.
From the 1950s to the 1980s, stores here offered large quantities of televisions, refrigerators, and later VCRs and game consoles.
Nowadays, electronic product stores, model toy stores, animation product stores and theme cafes coexist here, and new office and retail store complexes are gradually rising from the ground in order to create more business profits.
After entering Akihabara, Lu Yi felt as if he had entered the hinterland of a psychedelic anime kingdom.
Although we are currently in a gloomy period when the North American subprime mortgage crisis affects the world, it does not seem to have any impact on Akihabara.
This may be another manifestation of the 'lipstick effect'.
The so-called "lipstick effect" refers to an interesting economic phenomenon that leads to hot sales of lipsticks due to the economic depression. It is also called the "low-price product preference trend."
In the North, whenever the economy is in recession, the volume will rise directly.
This is because, in North America, people think lipstick is a relatively cheap luxury product. In an economic downturn, people will still have a strong desire to consume, so they will turn to cheaper luxury products.
As a "cheap and unnecessary item", lipstick can play a "comforting" role to consumers [especially when the soft and moist lipstick touches the lips.
Furthermore, the economic recession will reduce the spending power of some people, so that they will have some "little spare money" in their hands, which can be used to buy some "cheap non-essential things".
It's just that in Akihabara, lipstick has become an entertainment industry.
After resting in the hotel for a while and having lunch, at ten o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yi left the hotel with others and went to the press conference.
Li Han is the person in charge of the virtual idol project. As early as half a month ago, he flew to the island country Akihabara and started the layout of the press conference.
When he learned that Lu Yi was coming, Li Han went to greet him immediately.
"Director Lu, you are here."
"How are the preparations going?"
Lu Yi came to the scene and took a look around.
The main hall of the press conference can accommodate three to four thousand people, and the auxiliary hall next door is the game trial hall, where players can experience the music rhythm game "Luo Tianyi's Musician".
Li Han accompanied Lu Yi to inspect the situation at the scene and replied: "Everything is ready. This conference has invited more than 500 media from around the world, as well as some guests from the industry, and more than 1,500 local consumers."
“In the game trial hall next door, there are more than 300 sets of PS devices and 500 sets of PC devices for visitors to try out.
Lu Yi heard this and nodded: "It's not bad."
After looking around the scene, Lu Yi was very satisfied with all the arrangements.
"In terms of publicity, after tomorrow's press conference, we must take the lead in launching a publicity offensive in Akihabara, so that in the next week or so, the entire Akihabara will shine with our Luo Tianyi... "
"Then, the propaganda campaign spread throughout the island nation."
"The most critical thing for the success of our virtual idol project is to first gain a foothold in the island country market and then promote it to the world."
Lu Yi said.
Li Han nodded and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I am confident that we can make the Luo Tianyi we designed shine all over the world."
Lu Yi watched the conference venue for a while and didn't stay much longer. After explaining a few words, he returned to the hotel to rest.
after all.
Tomorrow's press conference is the highlight.
One billion meters of gold were invested in the entire project. Such a large investment cannot be messed up.
Lu Yi is aware of the negative voices from the outside world, but he doesn't pay attention to those voices at all.
The next day, May 10th.
Early in the morning, media and invited guests from all walks of life came in droves.
For this press conference, Future Group was not stingy.
Half a month ago, 3,000 fans of Future Group or Blue Star Electronics were directly invited nationwide to participate in this event, which was equivalent to getting a free three-day tour of Akihabara.
in.
500 fans were invited from China, 500 from Europe and the United States, and the rest were local fans from the island countries.
In addition to being users and fans of Future Group, these invited ordinary people also have one thing in common: they are fans of the ACG3.3N cultural circle.
These people walked into the venue with excitement.
"Wow! Look, that's...Director Hayao Miyazaki! He actually came to attend this press conference!"
"Spirited Away directed by Hayao Miyazaki is really beautiful."
"It's not just Hayao Miyazaki. Look, that's Makoto Shinkai, the director of "5 Centimeters Per Second". I think "5 Centimeters Per Second" is the best anime movie I've ever seen, bar none!"
"Yes, I also like the anime movie "5 Centimeters per Second" very much, especially the line in it. If the speed of cherry blossoms falling is 5 centimeters per second, how long will it take for two hearts to get closer?"
"Oh my god, Hideaki Anno and his gang actually showed up too!"
The press conference has not yet begun, but everyone is very excited and talking about it as they look at the masters and well-known directors in the animation industry.
