My Animation Era

  Chapter 174 Virtual anchor (for subscription)

  Liu Donghai resigned.

  As the sales volume of "Zhonghai Youth" magazine declined day by day, his bonuses became less and less, even for more than half a year, he finally chose to resign.

  Changed to Wanbao Comics?

  Not really!

  Although he had thought about it before, he jumped to Wanbao Comics and got a job with a decent salary. But at the suggestion of his wife Xia Mei, he did not do so.

   His new job is screenwriting.

  Yes, Liu Donghai's pen is not bad. After all, he wrote some articles in his early years and even made children's stage plays. After resigning this time, he stepped into the screenwriting industry of film and television dramas under the introduction of his friends.

  How about this job...

   Not only is the salary better, but also the time is more free. The company only needs the script, and it doesn’t matter whether he is working in the company or writing at home.

   Liu Donghai was very satisfied with this.

   There are three children in the family, and his wife Xia Mei is also the head nurse of the hospital. She usually doesn't see anyone when she is busy.

  The job of screenwriter, free time, can take care of family and company at the same time, it is the most suitable choice for him.

   Oh yes, forgot to mention!

   After Xiaoxue passed the high school entrance examination, she went to high school this year. Liu Xing graduated from elementary school and entered a nearby junior high school. Xiaoyu also started elementary school this year.

  Three children are not reassuring.

  Xiaoxue is a little better, after all, she is already sensible when she is old. Except for the "puppy love" that will make Liu Donghai and his wife worry, other aspects have been very good.

   Liu Xing and Xiao Yu, that would be a headache...

  These two naughty boys have average academic performance. Playful and mischievous is almost carved into his bones. Compared with Xiaoxue, who has excellent grades and is considerate and considerate, it is a world apart.

   Just these two days, Liu Donghai, who has just finished writing the script of a new play, has nothing to do. He plans to supervise the two naughty boys at home.

   "Education should teach students in accordance with their aptitude!"

   "Aiming at children with different personalities, parents should adopt flexible education methods..."

  Putting down "Looking for a Child to Become a Dragon" written by a well-known education expert, Liu Donghai walked out of the study and went to the living room to take a look.

   "Little rain!"

   "Didn't I say that? You can only watch TV after finishing your homework. Why are you... Hey, where is Liu Xing?"

   "Liu Xing is in the room!"

  Xiao Yu was scolded for a while, and quickly shifted her firepower and said: "He must be playing computer again, Dad, you go and take care of him."

   This kid...

  As soon as Liu Xing came into the room to play with the computer again, Liu Donghai became furious. He didn't care about reprimanding Xiao Yu, turned around and walked to Liu Xing's room.

   Probably an oversight.

   Liu Xing wore headphones and looked at the computer screen with a silly smile on his face. He didn't hear any movement from the living room, nor did he hear the sound of the door opening.

   "Mina-san, oh ha yo!"

   "Today is another sunny day. Xiaotu has received a lot of comments from viewers. Let me see what everyone said!"

   Bunny! hey-hey! Bunny!

  Pick me choose me...

  Looking at Liu Xing who was laughing like a fool in front of the computer, Liu Donghai didn't take off his earphones immediately, but glanced at the computer screen curiously.

what is this?

  I saw a cartoon character scratching his head and posing on the screen, and the barrage scrolling beside him reminded Liu Donghai, this seems to be a webcast?

  But this is wrong!

   Live webcasts, aren’t they all real people?

  This...this dancing and moving cartoon character, could it be the anchor?

  Just when Liu Donghai was puzzled and didn't understand what it was, Liu Xing, who was addicted to "beauty", finally realized that there was an extra person beside him.

"dad?"

   "Why are you here?"

   Liu Xing took off the earphones, covered his chest and said, "I didn't say a word when I came in, I was almost scared to death by you."

   "I was scared to death by you."

  Liu Donghai pointed at the computer screen angrily, and asked, "Who is this? Are you just sitting in your room watching this?"

   "This is Usagi!"

   "The character in the animation "Sailor Moon" is now a virtual anchor under Wanbao."

   Liu Xing raised his eyebrows and said, "How about it, isn't it very beautiful and kawaii?"

  Liu Donghai: "..."

  The young people nowadays are really getting more and more fun. Middle-aged people like him can't understand what he is saying at all.

  What moon hare? What Sailor Moon? What virtual anchor? What is this all about!

   "Sailor Moon" he knows.

   He also knows Moon Hare.

   But isn’t that an animated character? How did you become a virtual anchor? What the **** is this virtual anchor?

   "Dad! You are behind the times!"

   "The so-called virtual anchor, as the name suggests, is to let the virtual character act as the anchor to conduct live webcasting activities..."

   Liu Xing talked eloquently: "This is a new thing, it has never been born before!"

ah?

  Avatar, webcast?

  Liu Donghai was confused and said: "It's not...a virtual character, how do you broadcast live? How do you make her speak and move?"

   Could it be that kind of "manipulator"?

  There is a virtual character on the surface, but on the other end of the computer is a big man with a foot, using a voice changer and various software to create an illusion?

   "How to say it."

  Liu Xing nodded and said: "But Xiaotu is not a man in a leather case! She is an image simulated by Wanbao using AI technology, calling the voice source files of voice actors, and then using self-developed animation software."

  What's all this?

  Liu Donghai, who couldn't understand what his son was saying at all, decided to search the Internet by himself to find out what was going on with this thing.

  The search results surprised him.

   He knows Wanbao Animation, the company that produced popular animation works such as "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Sailor Moon" and "Pigman".

   But isn’t this an animation company?

  Why is it associated with "high technology", using more fashionable AI technology, and owning self-developed animation software?

   "Is this... Moon Hare very popular?"

"Uh-huh!"

  Hearing her father's question, Liu Xing nodded frantically and said, "It's very popular! It's not only very popular in China, but also very popular abroad. There are many people who like her."

   "The second uncle is also a fan of hers, and he is still a fanatical fan. He paid her nearly 20,000 yuan in gifts..."

  Unknowingly, Liu Xing, who betrayed his second uncle, realized that something was wrong while talking. Why did Dad look so ugly?

  So, he quickly clarified.

   "Dad! Don't look at me like that, I didn't give her any presents, it was all done by the second uncle!"

   "He also said that he will learn from a foreigner in the future and marry Moon Hare as his wife..."

   Liu Donghai's expression became more and more ugly.

  At this moment, he suddenly thought of one thing: he and his wife introduced so many blind dates to Liu Zida, but they didn't like any of them.

  At first, he thought that his younger brother had high vision and looked down on these vulgar fans.

  But he never expected it!

  The woman my younger brother likes is actually a...uh! A two-dimensional paper man that does not exist in reality?
