As a mage, I just want to pursue the truth

Chapter 354 Wrong Idea

For the new thing of real idols, most of the individuals involved are still thinking about this issue with their previous way of thinking.

Virtual idols will adopt the same operating methods as the traffic stars in the real world did before.

As for the problem of virtual idols’ lack of humanity, this is something that is easy to solve.

Now that we have a virtual idol, we just need to find a person in a shell to play the role of the virtual idol behind the scenes.

As for sound, there has also been great progress in sound simulation technology. No matter who plays the role of the suit man behind the scenes, he can make the same sound through technical means.

As for this way of operating idols, it will take time to verify whether the audience will approve of it.

“Currently, ‘Dragon Race’ is far ahead of other TV series in terms of both the number of views and the popularity of discussions on major social media platforms.

Based on the data analysis we have collected from social media comments, it is clear that the audience's love for the characters is difficult to transfer to virtual idols.

However, these virtual idols have only filmed this one drama so far, and the observation samples are not sufficient. We will continue to pay attention to this issue in the future.

Another thing is that the real-life star only appeared in "Dragon Tribe" in an image, and his fans also know that the role was just played using the portrait of the star named C.

However, through data monitoring, we found that the star's popularity has increased significantly. At the same time, under the guidance of social media operations, the star's fans not only do not think this is a scandal.

On the contrary, I think this is a good thing for the star.

Therefore, we initially believe that the value of real-life stars still exists. At the same time, both offline commercial activities and some online variety shows require the appearance of real-life stars.

Real-life stars can form a good complementary relationship with virtual idols.

However, the living space for celebrities will be further compressed in the future, and there will be fewer and fewer celebrities who can maintain their popularity by faking traffic and social media operations.

At the same time, since they are no longer needed to appear in the works, our voice in this regard will also be further increased.”

For fans, after watching the TV series starring star C, although he only showed his face, they all expressed their happiness to see such a phenomenon.

Originally, this star had nothing but good looks, but now he has acting skills as well.

Acting achieved with the help of technical means is also acting.

“So reality stars still need to exist.

This is pretty much what I envisioned.

Real idols can give us greater control over these traffic stars.

Because with the help of real idols, we can produce good works continuously.

It is so easy to create stars with these good works.

We just need to keep at a certain frequency, obey our traffic stars, give them good works, and then gather popularity.

All he needs to do is some operational work, such as taking photos and commercials, participating in variety shows and the like.

It just so happens that traffic stars don’t have the time or talent to delve into acting.

Be able to fully explore their talents in other areas.

Good, that’s good.”

The executives of Tencent Interactive Entertainment were secretly complaining: Why put it so euphemistically that the only purpose is to make money.

“When you select a group of real-life stars, remember to include faces that are suitable for various types of film and television works.

Let them sign a contract with Tencent’s agency.

We will also launch our own real-life stars in the future.”

In terms of texture, virtual idols are obviously far inferior to real-life stars.

At the same time, many TV dramas are produced every year. Which one will become the hit of the year and which traffic star will be made popular?

In fact, no one knows.

However, the current production capacity is more than a hundred times higher than before. Under the impact of a large number of film and television works, many good scripts have been given the opportunity to be filmed.

This increases the probability of producing a hit product and making a popular star famous.

Tencent holds the most copyrights, and its film and television app also has the largest market share in the domestic long video field. Naturally, it would want to take a piece of the whole cake.

Domestic audiences are lucky. In just three months, more TV dramas have been released than in the previous three years.

There are endless high-quality dramas on various long video platforms.

Some wealthy people are even willing to adapt their favorite novels into TV series through real idols for free, and then find a random channel to put them up for everyone to watch.

Neon is the most active, and they can even make a feature-length movie about Neon specialties.

It can be made into a series.

Chinese film and television stars don’t dare to speak out publicly in opposition, but Japanese actresses do.

They took to Twitter to complain that the emergence of real idols had caused them to lose their jobs.

Of course, the production of real idols needs to comply with local laws and regulations.

The permissions of the Chinese app are different from those of the Japanese app.

When real idols greatly increased the supply of pacifiers around the world, the economic turmoil was ignored.

Sometimes, the greater the exchange of interests, the faster the negotiations will go.

An old lady needs to spend half an hour bargaining when buying vegetables on the roadside because she needs to do this to kill time and gain a sense of accomplishment.

A transaction worth hundreds of billions, which would be trillions if the unit was RMB, could be concluded in just a few words.

For the Li family, they were already unable to control Singapore. Even if Li Hongyi was able to take over, he would not be able to maintain the situation.

Not to mention that the situation is changing so quickly today.

In fact, Singapore’s intention to use magic coin research to integrate ASEAN’s strength was ruined by India who later tried to squeeze in.

You have to know that Lion City invested a lot of resources in that plan, but the result was completely unsatisfactory.

All of these will require the consumption of the Li family's credibility.

Now that Singapore has been handed over to Zheng Li in this way, Li Xianlong feels reluctant, but more relieved.

In the future, as long as the asset allocation is done well, there will be more than enough to pass it on for at least ten generations.

"Mr Zheng has completed the transaction and he needs to change his nationality to Singaporean nationality as soon as possible.

Then we will initiate a bill in Congress to replace the candidate.

This bill will definitely pass.”

For the legislators in Singapore, everyone has some speculations about Zheng Li's identity.

When Li Xianlong was in power, their power was very small, and there would not be much change after Zheng Li took over.

On the contrary, what Zheng Li can bring to Lion City is a completely different future from what the Li family can bring to Lion City.

Therefore, for these parliamentarians, just a little communication will make everyone express their absolute cooperation.

Although we don’t know what kind of deals were done behind the scenes, it is a good thing for everyone if Lion City can develop better.

In the new era, the development of Lion City will be led by the creators of the new era.

"Zheng Li has said that there is no need to go through the trouble of changing nationality. You can just use Merlin as your name. He will show up at the venue on time." "What? Well, the magician's methods are indeed beyond our imagination."

Originally, the Lion City side thought there would be some kind of ceremony, but there wasn't any at all.

Prior to this, Zheng Li had sold off a large number of shares in Kechuang Bio in the secondary market.

The reduction ratio is about 5%.

Zheng Li's large-scale share reduction also caused panic in the capital market.

As the largest shareholder of Kechuang Biotechnology for many years, Zheng Li, who has never reduced his holdings after its listing, actually reduced his holdings in Kechuang Biotechnology for the first time.

“Why didn’t Zheng Li reduce his holdings earlier or later, but announced the reduction plan half a year before the virtual reality product was about to be released?
Is it because virtual reality technology is not as good as expected, and Zheng Li hopes to use it to avoid the possible stock price plunge that may occur at that time? "

"What are you thinking? If that's the reason, why don't you sell off more?
Even if Zheng Li reduces his holdings by 5% this time, or even if he reduces his holdings by another 5%, his share in Kechuang Bio will still be higher than 50%.

I guess it’s just a personal money plan.”

"What kind of money-spending plan can use trillions of RMB?

This cash flow is horrible.”

“In fact, the one who suffered the most was the first general manager of Sinovation Biotechnology, as he sold off his shares too early.

I remember that the media later reported on his own entrepreneurial experience, and he did not earn as much as he would have if he had held Kechuang Bio's stocks all along. "

"Don't panic. Selling off shares is a very normal thing. You should know that Zheng Li has not sold off shares for so many years. As a major shareholder who only sells off shares once every ten years, he is simply too conscienceless."

From Guba to Xueqiu to Tonghuashun, many people are discussing stock apps, but these discussions are all limited to the future trend of stocks.

There are also a lot of discussions on social media, including conspiracy theories:
“First, there was a large-scale reduction in holdings. Will the next step be to resign as chairman and then gradually retire?”

"No way, Zheng Li is only thirty years old."

"Who knows? Maybe we'll see news about Zheng Li vacationing overseas soon."

"This is normal. After working hard for more than ten years, it is normal to need a break for a while."

Now Young has been promoted from head of the investment department to head of Greater China, but the president of Goldman Sachs in Greater China has been replaced one after another.

He wanted to find any acquaintances in Hong Kong, but couldn't find any, so he decided to go back to Shenhai where he had more acquaintances.

"Have you heard about Zheng Li's large-scale share reduction this time?" After returning to Hong Kong, Young looked for his friends in the same investment circle, thinking of sharing the news he had just received.

"have no idea.

With what status and position does he have, how could he be short of money?

Let alone money, whatever he wants, it's not just China that will help him get it. America, the European Union, Japan, Korea, etc. Which one of them doesn't want to curry favor with him?

When you reach a certain status, money is just a number, a voucher for accessing social resources.

Zheng Li's name is the best proof, he doesn't need money."

Young showed a smug smile: "You don't know this.

I recently got the news from Lion City that Zheng Li and the Li family in Lion City completed a deal.

The Li family sold Lion City to Zheng Li in a package, and the package price was about 5% of the shares of Kechuang Biotechnology. "

The other party slapped his thigh fiercely and said, "The Li family is really calculating!
I still underestimated this kid from the Li family.

That was a bit of a shrewd move on his part.”

Young: “Why?
Didn’t you just say that money is nothing?

The social resources that Lion City can mobilize are not comparable to this mere 5% of shares, right? "

“No no no, you are wrong.

The Li family just needs to rely on Zheng Li's influence and technological strength.

Zheng Li nominally obtained the power of Lion City, but given Zheng Li's character, will he really exercise this power?
The Li family has been operating in Singapore for hundreds of years, and Zheng Li holds nominal power, but isn't the actual power still in their hands?
This tactic of retreating to advance can even dispel the dissatisfaction of the Singaporean people towards the Lee family.

This kid from the Li family is more cunning than I thought."

Young suddenly realized: “So that’s it.

What if Zheng Li really takes the initiative and gets deeply involved in the specific management of Lion City? "

"Then lie dormant and build up your own power.

Zheng Li will leave one day. Even if he doesn't, in the Lion City system, the Li family has been operating for hundreds of years, and has obtained 200 billion euros in funds, which is enough for them to remain the top predator in the Lion City ecosystem.

At the same time, with Zheng Li behind Lion City, Lion City can be regarded as a force that cannot be underestimated on the international stage.

It’s better than a country that only has economic status now.

No matter what, the Li family will never lose out.

Unless there is an agreement between them and Zheng Li, their entire family needs to leave Singapore.

If there is such a requirement, that is another matter.

Even if there is such a requirement, it is just a break-even. ”

Young nodded and said, “That makes sense.

But will that side let Zheng Li go?"

"Does Zheng Li need that kind of consent?

And he doesn't necessarily need to leave with his body, isn't it the same if his soul leaves?"

Because of Zheng Li's existence and the deepening of research on the soul, masters of soul-level cultivation have emerged in large numbers among the people.

At the same time, there have been rumors that Merlin has mastered the magic of allowing the soul to travel between heaven and earth.

Many so-called masters find some seemingly plausible techniques from ancient Taoist texts and practice them, claiming that they have achieved something, and then rely on this to recruit disciples.

Because of the fluke mentality, what if someone really manages to do it?

"I feel that if Zheng Li buys Lion City and does not manage it himself like he does with Kechuang Bio, then there won't be much meaning," Young raised his doubts.

This old friend is a professor at one of the top three universities in China. He has sharp opinions and clear thinking. Young would talk to him every time he returned to Shenhai.

They all graduated from the top 3 universities that year.

“As for Zheng Li, he will most likely use the resources of Kechuang Biotechnology to build Singapore into a city dominated by scientific research.

Then arrange the R&D work according to his wishes.

As for municipal administration, economy, people's livelihood and other areas, they will definitely be left to the bureaucrats to manage.

Can you imagine Zheng Li deciding how Lion City should attract investment, how it should attract global capital, and how it should ensure people's livelihood?

I don't think he even knows how many townhouses he's going to build.

Zheng Li is a genius, but he has no experience in this area and still has to rely on the original system of Lion City."

Yes, Singapore also thinks so, but Zheng Li does not think so.
