Chapter 260 VOCALOID
"vocaloid" is not just about letting Hatsune "talk". As the "Hatine Plan" carefully prepared by He Chen, he spent a lot of effort to make this software perfect.
Regarding the software engine, Luo Hao led the Tianman development team and took five months to complete it.
Then there is the recording of sound, first of all the instruments. He Chen has entered all the sounds of all the musical instruments in the software, allowing this software to make any instrument accompaniment for Hatsune.
This work is not difficult, but the workload is extremely huge and tedious. After entering, Luo Hao had to debug it again. It took a lot of time.
Finally, it was the determination of Hatsune sound source. He Chen searched for it for a long time, but in the end he still felt that only Ling Yan's voice was suitable.
So by the opportunity to let Ling Yan dub Ling Boli, she became Hatsune's sound source - she didn't want to become famous, so He Chen refused to announce Hatsune's sound source issue.
In the eyes of fans, this just made Hatsune an independent virtual singer. There was no trace of anyone on her body. She was the only one. Her name was Hatsune.
He Chen always felt that the pinyin of China is the most fortified pronunciation technique in the world. Although other products such as phonetic symbols and hiragana are similar, the pinyin tones of China, even if some languages have high and low pronunciations, there are four types of Chinese tones!
The four tones of one pronunciation make the Chinese language full of beauty and richer expression.
Adding pinyin tone makes the pronunciation of "Hatin" more accurate and perfect. It can completely allow her to use homophones to pronounce any language in the world - the premise is that the user understands these two languages.
The voice of "vocaloid" is Hatsune's soul, and the original software is the only one.
But here, He Chen added a body to Hatsune again.
In addition to the music module, He Chen also added a touch D module to his "vocaloid". In addition to allowing users to watch Hatsune, the biggest function of this module is to choreograph.
The music module requires a high level of professional skills, but in the touch-d module, Luo Hao developed a special action engine for "vocaloid". As long as the user uses the mouse and keyboard, he can freely let Hatsune make some movements, set the timeline, and combine these movements to make a complete set of dances.
This kind of fool-like operation can be done by anyone as long as you know how to use the mouse and keyboard, as long as you have patience and love.
This is a small method He Chen used to further expand Hatsune's influence.
Of course, there may be some gentlemen who will make Hatsune do something indecent. He Chen then asked Luo Hao to add an extremely strict harmony system to it. For example, the anti-gravity skirt, the ubiquitous holy light, and any attempt to expose certain parts of Hatsune's body cannot be done.
After all, He Chen didn't want to see Hatsune being labeled as 18x by sensitive parents, which in turn affected Hatsune's popularity. However, he himself secretly kept a primitive and unmodified version as a commemoration of Hatsune's birth.
Unfortunately, there are too many people in his family and he has never had the chance to play.
In order to let more people feel the charm of Hatsune, this work that took a long time and took Tianman's huge energy was released for free.
He learned the method of a certain penguin, first occupying the user group with free use, and then providing fee upgrade services.
As Hatsune's soul and music module, there is no possibility of any service fee here, but in the touch D module, He Chen used the skin charging mode used in "League of Legends".
In addition to Hatsune's body, things such as hairstyles, accessories, clothing, etc. that will not affect the software functions have all been added to the "V-home supermarket". There are also two modes of sales, one is permanent, and the price will naturally be higher, and the other is limited time, which will be much lower.
For those who don’t want to buy things and just want to use a certain style to make a dance, purchasing limited-time props is naturally their best choice.
As the price of free release of vocaloid, this will be a means to recover its costs.
"Vocaloid" created Hatsune, and there must be a channel for Hatsune to connect with the outside world.
So He Chen opened the "VHome" section on the website, and launched a music game covering all game platforms around "vocaloid".
The number of fans can be directly posted to dmfun's "V home" using songs created by "vocaloid".
If popularity reaches a certain level, these songs will be selected into the game library.
This time, a bunch of games launched for Hatsune also adopts different modes depending on the platform.
In mobile games, due to the inherent factors of mobile phones, the game cannot be as gorgeous as on computers. Therefore, He Chen borrowed from "djmax" and "Fever Beat", which is also the whereabouts mode that was also borrowed from by "Rhythm Master" and "osu!mania".
This kind of gameplay is simple, and when you are free, you can listen to music and entertain both. It is a casual game that is very suitable for entertainment.
There have been countless examples that any game, as long as it is added to the rating and ranking system, will make people obsessed with it even if it is very boring.
He Chen also followed the trend and satisfied everyone's psychology, and added a rating and ranking system.
For this game, He Chen originally wanted to name it "Hatin" or "V-Rhythm", but later he thought that not only Hatsune's library was included in the game, but all the animation songs of Tianman, as well as some world-famous songs and popular songs, were also made into it. It was a bit inappropriate to choose such a name.
The games are customized according to the song, and the rhythm is very strong, so He Chen simply used "Rhythm Master".
The computer platform games not only have an additional click mode that borrows from "osu!" than mobile phones, but also refers to "Jin Dance Group", adding Hatsune's dance as the background. There is also an online mode.
The two gameplays are switched at will. They both have their own score statistics and rankings. If players make mistakes, Hatsune's dance moves will also make mistakes, enriching the game elements.
If the songs published by "vocaloid" are selected into the game library, if the author arranges the dance, the game will love the dance that uses the author; if there is no choreography or the author is not satisfied with the dance he chores, Tianman will also make it for free.
"The Master of Rhythm" released on the host and handheld console is similar to the game mode on the computer, but the two are combined, and there is no drop mode. Clicking the mouse in the click mode is replaced with the buttons on the handle.
All of these games are released for free, and even games with console and handheld consoles are only sold at a cost price.
In order to make the game match with "vocaloid", He Chen adopted the song charging model.
Except for the first batch of songs that were released, all songs added to the future music library must be paid to play.
The charge price is very low. And it is permanent, one-time purchase. Permanent enjoyment.
He Chen did not want to make any money with this. His bigger purpose was to create a platform - just like a novel or comic subscription website.
The work is created with "vocaloid" and released at "V Home". Everyone can enjoy it for free. Then Tianman selects more popular ones to join the game music library, which is equivalent to selling on the shelves, and the sales will be divided into the original songwriter.
He Chen’s purpose is to let more people create more songs for Hatsune.
Moreover, it has also expanded another revenue channel for Tianman's dubbing.
Originally, their income was only dubbing and the sales volume of the albums they sang, but now the songs they sang have also been added to the music game and participated in the sales share.
In addition to these games, He Chen Rang Tianman Toy Factory also specially made two music game consoles - dancing machines and Taigu masters.
In short, He Chen had all the things that He Chen could think of, and he had made all the games related to the game.
With "vocaloid" as the center of the circle and those games as the radius, he wanted to draw a circle to enclose the whole world and let the songs of the two-dimensional world spread throughout the world.
The various versions of "vocaloid" and "Rhythm Master" bring you a novel experience. As everyone explores more deeply, more people are captured by Hatsune's charm.
More and more people are investing in the creation of "vocaloid", and there are even some professionals.
In the "V Family" section, countless new songs are born every day, some are just works that are entertaining themselves, and some are good songs that attract countless people to follow.
In just two days, Hatsune broke countless world records in the music industry - the most songs, the fastest release of new songs, etc.
Unfortunately, she is just a virtual character and no one comes to present her with awards.
Not long after, everyone was surprised to find that some popular works were actually included in the game music library and paid!
Of course, they were not stupid and surprised to pay, but from the author's description of "V Home", they knew that the author's original songs could be sold in the game.
Compared with singers, the status of the two is very different.
Because no matter how good the song is, it must be sung by singers, concerts, albums, etc. The popularity gained by singers is much higher than that of songwriters.
A good singer and excellent song are both indispensable.
However, the songwriter is far inferior to the singer's benefits in the end.
But the emergence of "vocaloid" has changed everything.
Songwriters no longer sell good songs to singers who are not interested in life. They can write songs for Hatsune, and they can sing whatever songs they want Hatsune to sing. Hatsune will not embezzle their honors and will also give them more favorable treatment than before.
To them, Hatsune is the most perfect singer in their hearts!
The actions He Chen made to make Hatsune born brought an earthquake to the music industry (To be continued...)
