Chapter 71 Chapter 71 Enthusiastic response

The person in charge had just finished introducing the product and was about to end the press conference, when the reporters who had been waiting for a long time skillfully used their legs and feet to rush to the first row to pass their microphones.

The person in charge was almost squeezed and stumbled. Along with the interview, there was also a picture.

There were too many microphones in the picture to count, and even a few microphones were against the person in charge's face and body. Some people even made emoticons, including the speechless expression of the person in charge in the picture.

After seeing this picture, the person in charge was angry and asked to report a work injury. Lu Jiao happily agreed and let her take a good rest.

Although the press conference is over, the commotion caused by the VR glasses has just begun.

When they were put on sale, 3,000 units were sold in one second, and now this number is still growing rapidly.

If Lu Jiao had not prepared several production lines in advance, she even suspected that all the goods would be sold out today.

Those reporters also burst out their fastest hand speeds, and started to organize their interviews and press conference contents into manuscripts for publication when they returned to the car.

"Sky Eye VR, a cross-era head-mounted interactive device!"

"Star Map Entertainment: This pair of glasses has hundreds of functions and supports interconnection with mobile phones, making it a real must-have item."

"The most expensive peripheral in history? No, it's the cheapest product! The reporter who

published this headline turned around and said to the photographer: "If you really regard this VR as a peripheral, you lose. I am now particularly curious about the expressions of those who say that Star Map is cutting leeks."

The photographer thought about the scene and gloated: "I should delete the Weibo overnight, but to be honest, we are a media outlet of Science and Technology Daily, so it's okay. When some irrelevant media in the venue came, their expressions were so disdainful. The reporter from the newspaper sitting next to me was still gossiping when he just entered the venue, and he went to the official website to add it to the shopping cart halfway through the press conference."

The reporter did not sneer at this behavior. He understood: "After all, who would have thought that Star Map would really do VR, and do it so well."

The photographer nodded. A little curious, he asked, “But the price is only over 7,000. I thought that with such good materials and such advanced technology, the price should be several times higher. Can it cover the R&D cost at such a low price?”

The reporter looked around to see if there was anyone around, so he approached the photographer and whispered to him, “In fact, people in the circle have also wondered about this…”

After all, a company with no R&D foundation suddenly did this, who wouldn’t take a second look? Many people thought that Star Map was trying to get the National Science and Technology Sponsorship Fund, but they suddenly came up with an advanced technology that stunned everyone.

He secretly told the photographer the information he had obtained: "This time their company is developing VR, and the relevant state departments also followed up with an investigation. It turned out that the technology they have is real and credible. As for why they suddenly took it out... You know that people in the circle have always said that President Lu has a strong background? I suspect that it was someone in her family who took it out. Maybe it was because they saw that President Lu's movie was related to VR, so they took out a technology to let President Lu make more money, and the money for the technology would be saved."

"As for those partners, they are very smart. They didn't ask for too high a price. One reason is because of President Lu's background. The other reason is that for the technology of VR glasses, it will be too late if you don't invest in it early and wait until it really takes off. So the bulk of the funds are put into the construction of the shell materials."

After this explanation, the photographer showed a surprised expression.

"It's actually quite good, because everyone feels like they've made a profit. The only one who's lost out is probably President Lu's family."

The photographer was right, but President Lu's background didn't feel like he lost out either. VR technology was originally put on the lottery board.

And the customers targeted by VR glasses feel like they've made a killing after seeing the price.

Seven thousand yuan is expensive for students or people who rarely use entertainment tools, but it's not that expensive for those who love to play and have ample funds. The price is not much different from that of a high-end mobile phone, but who wouldn't be tempted by the introduction at the press conference?

Just the shell alone is enough to dazzle the audience, not to mention another topic promoted by Tianyan VR: another way to use mobile phones.

It can be linked interactively with three major domestic mobile phones, and the touch screen can be projected in the air. In addition, "Star Map will cooperate with 20 entertainment companies and 15 special effects companies, and will produce VR videos in the future, allowing everyone to watch and appreciate them in an immersive way."

"At the same time, it will continue to expand its cooperation partners in the game field. The current game partners include "Ghost Detective"... and other games, all of which can be played smoothly in the glasses."

Once the VR glasses of Star Map came out, there was almost no rival in the entire market.

【The Star Map glasses have captured the entire market of consumers. With this price and this quality, fortunately President Lu did not suppress other companies at once and raised the price slightly, otherwise the stock prices of other companies would fluctuate faster today. 】

【Just finished watching the press conference, every introduction was so exciting, but the most exciting thing is the games that Star Map mentioned. They said that they used high-end lenses this time, which can achieve ultra-clear resolution, which is almost indistinguishable from what you see with the naked eye. No matter how powerful the previous glasses were, you can still see the difference. Is the holographic era really coming soon! 】

【Not holographic, but if it only deceives the eyes and ears, this is definitely enough, and even exceeds it by a lot. 】

There are countless news about VR glasses on the Internet. This week's hot topic will be "The Walking Dead" and Tianyan VR.

Influenced by this, the box office of "The Walking Dead" has risen by several points. Some people even boldly asked: Is Star Map interested in developing "The Walking Dead" into a VR movie? This is the real immersive viewing.

The official replied below: [Thank you for your opinion. We are currently preparing for the VR movie. Please look forward to it.]

Netizens: ! ! !

! [Watching movies at home is just around the corner!]

This is indeed not empty talk. Since the beginning of the development of VR glasses, Lu Jiao has been preparing for the VR immersive version of "The Walking Dead".

This movie itself uses a lot of digital special effects, and with the technology that comes with the system, it is not difficult to transfer them to VR eyes.

But this is Star Map's first VR movie, so of course it has to be perfect and no details should be missed. Lu Jiao agreed with their idea. After all, the benefits of a good VR movie are not only real income, but her achievement value can also increase a lot. Although

Chi Wei has only filmed two movies, both of them are popular both at home and abroad, especially this time's movie "The End of the Road".

The big base of science fiction movies is still abroad.

The movie star urged Lu Jiao to sign the contract quickly. They have already done all the work and are now waiting for Star Map's consent.

But no matter how different the world's aesthetics are, a movie that can make waves in one country will not be mediocre in another country.

Fang Yunan finished his concert abroad, lowered the brim of his hat and walked into the cinema next door.

Although he watched the movie with his body senses, the feeling of watching it with his own eyes was still different.

The couple next to him were arguing about what movie to watch. Fang Yunan glanced at them and found that "The Walking Dead" was not among the topics they discussed.

He rolled his eyes, put his phone to his ear as he passed by the two people, and said casually: "The best viewing area for "The Walking Dead" is almost sold out. I told you to buy tickets earlier, but you didn't listen. Now hurry up and buy the other good seats!"

As soon as he said this, the couple looked at him, turned their heads around, took out their phones and searched for "The Walking Dead". Fang Yun'an said that he was a man of great merit and fame.

Although Fang Yun'an's role in this was minimal, this movie was well received abroad as expected.

The battle scenes are so cool!

The sense of science fiction is so strong!

The heroine is so handsome! The villain is so handsome!

Even if you don't watch the plot, the pictures alone are enough to make the ticket worth it, not to mention the cyberpunk plot.

After the movie was released overseas, Chi Wei's achievement value increased rapidly. Lu Jiao could find new surprises every time he woke up. Now it has increased to 96%.

Qin Yi's achievement value also increased. The two movies made him famous overseas. Compared with directors, actors are more likely to receive film invitations. The agent picked a good script for Qin Yi.

"I estimate that in a month or two, you should be the first one to reach the standard," Lu Jiao looked at the achievement value on the screen and sighed.

Who would have thought that the last vest born would be the first to succeed? But Chi Wei's success is inseparable from the right time, right place and right people. Other vests became famous in China at the beginning, but Chi Wei appeared in big-budget movies at home and abroad.

Chi Wei's fame value must be reached before it reaches the standard.

Gradually, some people received express delivery of Tianyan VR glasses.

-

As a technology review blogger, Lin Xuan has been waiting for Tianyan VR for a long time.

He happened to work in Jingzhou, so he had just placed an order and it was delivered to the door of the studio the next day.

When he was unboxing, everyone in the studio gathered around, and the assistant even walked through the crowd wall holding a camera: "Let me go in and record the unboxing video!"

When he squeezed in, he exclaimed: "Wow, this box is so formal!"

The outer shell of the box was coated with a layer of silver film, shining with seven colors under the light, with a large star map and Tianyan combined logo on it.

Lin Xuan finally started to unbox. Although the glasses were small, the box was large because there were a lot of things inside. As the first 1,000 customers to place an order, Star Map also gave away a lot of gifts.

Lin Xuan didn't feel anything when he took out the items, but his star-chasing colleagues beside him made strange noises.

"Damn, isn't this the limited edition peripheral on my wall?"

"Oh my god, this is a 50% discount coupon for the Star Map Theater!"

"7th's album and autographed photo?"

...

Lin Xuan took out the items while laughing and saying, "Only now can I feel that Star Map is indeed an entertainment company."

"Wow!" It was finally his turn to exclaim. The box contained the VR glasses packaging box that he had been looking forward to for a long time. He held it in both hands and took it out, fearing that he would accidentally damage it.

The colleagues beside him also held their breath and watched him carefully take out the glasses.

The moment he took it out, everyone at the scene said in unison: "Wow!"

There was no deception at all, and it was even more beautiful than in the video. The result of Xingtu spending most of the money on the materials was that the texture of the entire glasses was very good. Just by looking at the glasses, you can see that it is different. Lin Xuan felt a little timid when he held it in his hand: "It's so light."

The people around him immediately urged him to put on the glasses. A group of people told him how to open and wear the glasses. Lin Xuan was confused by this group of unreliable colleagues.

When he put it on as required, without any delay, Lin Xuan felt that he had turned into a strange space in front of him, and he was shocked and took several steps back.

You can't blame him for being surprised. Even from his perspective of seeing all kinds of VR glasses on the market, the visual experience of Tianyan VR is top-notch, and its slogan is not in vain. Following the instructions in front of him, Lin Xuan learned to control the page with his pupils.

So all his colleagues saw was Lin Xuan standing still. Just as they were surrounding Lin Xuan and making all kinds of funny movements, Lin Xuan suddenly moved, scaring the assistant who was making faces.

Lin Xuan: "What are you doing?"

The assistant almost confessed. Fortunately, the people next to him pointed out and instructed: Lin Xuan can't see the outside environment after wearing the glasses, so don't worry about the movements, he may just hear your voice and trick you.

The assistant understood and said innocently: "I'm filming you, what's wrong, Brother Lin?"

Lin Xuan: "..." He looked around with his glasses on, and the brave colleagues around him were still making brave movements.

Lin Xuan: "... He Sunyang, can you stop pretending to be a monkey? It's so annoying."

He Sunyang: "!!!"

Other colleagues: "!!!"

The assistant: "..."

Lin Xuan: "I thought you would react immediately after seeing how thin the lenses are, and you didn't listen to the press conference carefully. This pair of glasses can be adjusted for daily wear and work mode."

"Huh?!"

The person in charge didn't introduce this function much at the time, because this function seemed particularly ordinary compared to other functions of the glasses.

After spending a long time to roughly understand the functions of the glasses, Lin Xuan and the person in charge had the same idea.

"You guys hurry up and buy these glasses, let's play Ghost Detective together!"

Everyone present: "Huh?"

Lin Xuan said excitedly: "Although Ghost Detective is fun to explore mysteries with a computer, the first-person perspective is even more fun! I feel it's more interesting than going to the ghost park in person!" "

Brother Lin, calm down, don't pull me down."

Although Lin Xuan was persuaded to stop being excited, it still attracted the attention of everyone in the studio. Why did Lin Xuan say that Ghostland was not as good as a game, even if it was a VR game?

Lin Xuan generously lent his glasses.

"Ghost Detective" was already in public beta two months ago. Relying on the big IP and its own exquisite game content, this game became an instant hit. It is a first-person exploration game, shrouded in mystery. It has been online for just two months and has already topped the game list.

Lin Xuan is also a loyal fan of this game. It can be seen that the game studio respects the original copyright very much. On this basis, various brain-opening revelations are added to make this game extremely playable.

After landing on the VR glasses, this game is no longer a pure puzzle exploration game.

Instead, it became -

"Ah!!!"

screams one after another.

The assistant took off her glasses and collapsed on the sofa, guzzling a bottle of water, covering her chest to relax: "This is too scary!"

"Yes, this is too scary!"

Lu Jiao said with a lingering fear after taking off her glasses.

Chi Wei looked at her, and although she didn't speak, everything was self-evident: who was the one who enthusiastically proposed various improvement suggestions to the game studio.

Lu Jiao said seriously, "It's the two of us together."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. The person who came in first announced the good news: "Mr. Lu, the satisfaction rate of our VR glasses has reached 95%, and the current return rate is only 2%!"

Lu Jiao raised his eyebrows. In the past, there was a custom for new technology products. The return rate of the first wave of products would not be too low. Most of them were bought to follow the trend, but I didn't expect the return rate of Tianyan to be so low.

The person in charge handed the data to Lu Jiao, and the reasons were written in the record. The first sentence that caught his eye was:

[I should be glad that I have graduated and become financially independent.]

Lu Jiao read on.

—— [Otherwise, I would be fired by the company in anger. Who would have thought that I would play with the glasses for five whole days! How can it be so fun? My gym coach even thought I was kidnapped...】

Lu Jiao burst out laughing. This person

's words are very interesting. Just by this sentence, Lu Jiao understood the reason why Tianyan has a low return rate.

"Among them, the software with the most traffic is "Ghost Detective"..." The person in charge talked about it.

With the evaluation of the first wave of recipients of VR glasses, along with the rise of VR as a hot topic, "Ghost Detective" also rose sharply.

Many people shared their evaluation videos of being scared to death by "Ghost Detective", and various perspectives fully satisfied the netizens' fun mood.

When Lu Jiao was laughing at the funny comments of netizens, he received a call.

"Dear Lu, I have good news for you, absolutely first-hand inside information!" The movie star's boss Lauren said mysteriously on the other side.

Lu Jiao: "Please keep it short, cross-border calls are very expensive."

Lauren immediately stopped pretending to be mysterious and quickly threw out her own revelations: "Your movie "The Walking Dead" has been nominated for the Best Film of the Year, and it is very likely to win the award."

Lu Jiao sat up straight.

No one in the entertainment industry doesn't know this award. You don't even need to say its full name, just use the movie award to refer to it, which is enough to see its status in the entertainment industry. This award is awarded worldwide, and every award can cause a big wave.

"I thought it was "Ghost Detective," she said in surprise.

In terms of content, "The Walking Dead" has more than "The Walking Dead".

Lauren laughed softly: "After all, you are nominating for the best film. "The Walking Dead" is of course very good, but in terms of audience, science fiction movies will never lack audiences."

Lu Jiao immediately understood, and Lauren continued: "I heard this from a friend. The box office of the same year's films can't beat "The Walking Dead", and this movie is too popular with the public. You can make some preparations in advance."
