"What, seventeen or eighteen?"

"Do you think I'm a pig?!"

"If we don't have seventeen or eighteen, five or six will do!"

Before Kato Megumi could speak again, Kitahara Makoto sealed her speech and began the various procedures necessary to fulfill her birthday wish...

Chapter 96: NN

Beidouxing Film & Television.

Screening room.

A group of high-ranking executives from NicoNico Animation, including several managers from Beidouxing Films, sat together.

Running Man is playing on the giant screen.

Filming a variety show is a very simple thing.

It's much simpler than acting.

Therefore, in just over a month, the production team had already completed the content for the first three episodes.

Although Kitahara Makoto had watched this variety show in his previous life.

But this was the first time he had seen the Japanese version.

So when I see some funny scenes, I still can't help but burst out laughing.

And this situation is quite common.

The entire screening room was filled with joy.

After watching the first three episodes, a group of executives gave the variety show a high score.

Most of them were professional and experienced entertainment figures invited by Kitahara Makoto.

Their recognition is highly valuable.

The fact that so many people have given "Running Man 177" high scores is proof that this variety show is of very high quality.

Now we'll see if it becomes a hit after it airs.

"The quality is very good so far, let them keep it up!"

Kitahara Masato finished giving his instructions.

He then turned to Kawamoto Yuta, who was standing next to him, and gave him instructions.

"You and Sugito coordinate, and start the promotional plan for this variety show!"

Variety shows are filmed very quickly, so their broadcast format is naturally different from that of anime, which is broadcast only after all production is completed.

In fact, Japanese variety shows and dramas are usually filmed with the first two or three episodes produced first.

Then it will be broadcast on television.

If the results are good and the ratings are high, then continue filming.

If the results are poor, the TV station will cancel the show altogether.

This reduces the sunk costs for film and television companies and effectively improves the quality of TV series.

Of course, this model also has its drawbacks.

Because each episode is filmed and broadcast immediately, the production team is constantly in a rush to finish production.

This is a test of the actors' and crew's condition.

If the actor is not in good condition, or if any problems arise.

Then the production crew will be in big trouble.

It might even come to a complete standstill.

This is also why Japanese dramas often start off very well, but then quickly decline in quality, resulting in a disappointing ending.

……

Nowadays, the promotion and release of a variety show are such trivial matters that Kitahara Makoto no longer needs to pay special attention to them.

After delegating these tedious tasks to his subordinates.

He left Beidouxing Animation by car and went to Beidouxing Communications Company.

Beidou Star Communications.

After Kitahara Makoto arrived, Terada Sosuke, the general manager of the new company, took him to the development department.

Then they demonstrated the company's newly developed product to him on the spot.

"not bad!"

At his computer desk, Kitahara Makoto looked serious as he clicked the mouse around.

Profile picture, friends, NN number, group chat...

If someone from ten or more years from now were here, they would find out.

I am very familiar with the software that Beidou Star Communication just developed.

That's right, Kitahara Shin directly copied Ma Huateng.

Now that we know the answer to success.

He'd have to be stupid to innovate on his own.

Besides, all paths lead to the same destination, and in the end, there are only a few paths that can lead to success. If that's the case, then why bother with innovation?

Kitahara Shin experimented with the various functions of the chat software he named NN.

The first generation of NN chat is a rough version of Koko.

Many features are missing.

It only has simple functions such as adding friends, joining group chats, and posting to NN Space.

One reason is the current technological limitations; due to the constraints of current computer technology and broadband speeds, it is not yet possible to develop the desired functions.

The other one was intentional on Kitahara Makoto's part.

Some features will be hidden and then gradually revealed later.

That way, even if someone wants to plagiarize, it won't happen.

He pinned them to the ground so firmly that they couldn't turn over at all.

……

NN Chat version 1.0 has been completed.

The next step is to launch and promote the product.

Kitahara Makoto personally oversaw this matter.

Because network communication is a business he values ​​highly.

It can be a pillar of the business alongside video websites.

He didn't trust anyone else with such a big task.

Besides, no one else has memories of the future like him.

It's most appropriate to leave it to him to handle.

Promotional and marketing plans for NN chat.

He had a draft in mind long before Beidouxing Communications Company was established.

So now that the publicity plan has begun.

Kitahara Shin immediately had the people from Beidouxing Communications Company set up an official website.

Then a few days later.

In the name of NicoNico Animation.

The software download link was sent to one hundred content creators who currently have over one million followers.

After all the content creators have downloaded it.

He pulled all these content creators into a group chat.

He didn't need to guide them any further.

One hundred content creators appeared in the same group...

Here you can talk about anime, video making, national affairs, funny stories, and all sorts of casual banter...

One hundred content creators who were new to 'chat groups' immediately became obsessed with the feeling of spending all their time in them.

Messages are popping up everywhere, growing at a rate of at least 99+ per minute.

Various soybean-themed expressions flew everywhere: sweating, dry laughter, smiling...

If someone knows them, they will know.

This is called a 'water skirt'.

……

A few more days passed.

After the content creators had become familiar with NN chat.

Kitahara Shinichi then had NicoNico Animation extend a formal collaboration invitation.

They invited these content creators to help promote NN Chat.

And their promotional plans were all the same.

These are the content creators who released a video together.

They told their fans that they had created a fan group.

Then, they would post their group number so that interested fans could join their chat group and talk together.

This time, NicoNico Animation has invested heavily.

Plus, it's backed by a platform.

Therefore, the content creators have put a lot of effort into promoting it.

It's impossible for every fan to join the group.

But each content creator has at least several hundred loyal fans.

One hundred content creators combined equal tens of thousands of users.

In addition, these top content creators have all done this.

This will naturally encourage other content creators to follow suit.

So they took advantage of NicoNico, currently the largest video website in Japan.

NN Chat has grown to its 2.9th batch of '100,000 users'.

The NN chat account and the NicoNico anime account are interchangeable.

In other words, once you register a NicoNico anime account, you can directly use it to log in to NN chat.

After the first batch of 100,000 users appear.

The group chat function and the friend function are beginning to unleash their power.

The NN number first spread rapidly in classrooms where there were many peers.

Then it spread in forums and blogs, places where there are many people with the same interests.

Finally, it spreads among family members.

Across the entire Japanese mainland, this NN virus is spreading at a rate almost like a virus.

The number of users is also increasing week by week.
