Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 210 Entertainment Promotes Technological Breakthroughs

"Professor Booker, what are you doing?"

The principal looked at the old wizard at the door and asked with some confusion.

As far as she could remember, there wasn't anything in the School of Jutsu that needed her attention recently.

Maybe he is here to complain again. Every once in a while this year, an old professor from a certain school would come to complain, saying that his class is becoming less and less popular, and that reforms are needed, such as limiting transfers to different schools and allocating admission quotas to each school...

That's probably it.

In summary, the pressure from the School of Illusion is too great.

But the principal has always believed that there is no need to forcibly limit the number of students in each school. The popularity of illusion now is simply due to a large gap in the demand for illusion mages in society. Once this gap is filled, the various schools will return to balance.

Just like the theory in biology, feedback regulation.

So when faced with complaints from professors, she always evades the issue and does not respond directly, waiting for time to resolve the issue so as not to offend either side. This is the way of a manager.

However, the two popular schools of Conjuration and Evocation have not faced much enrollment problems before.

She remembered that there should be no shortage of students who would like to take Professor Booker's Fire Elemental Conjuration class.

"Um, I came to, um, how should I put it?"

Professor Booker was in a dilemma. When he saw there was an Agumon statue in the principal's office, it was time to test his emotional intelligence.

It is definitely inappropriate to directly say that games and toys are the root of all evil. That is no different from slapping the principal in the face.

I held it in for a while, but I felt that I had to speak out because it concerns the future of the entire college. As an old professor who has been teaching at the college since Repin graduated, I still have deep feelings for the college.

He said, "This Digimon machine is quite popular now? It seems that you and Master Soran are also very interested in it. I don't know much about it, but the students also like it very much, so much so that..."

“A lot of students are addicted to it and don’t go to class.”

When the old wizard was in trouble, Soran spoke up.

"Yes." Professor Booker immediately confirmed that as the most famous legendary wizard in the Twin Towers City, Mr. Soran still understood his concerns.

"So you also want to restrict students from using these things for entertainment." Soren continued.

“I think that if students are always addicted to this and spend all their time on entertainment, it will affect their study of spells and further affect the reputation of the academy.

"So at least within the campus, the use of the Internet, game consoles and other entertainment items should be prohibited, or only allowed from evening to early morning, and on holidays..."

Professor Booker spoke his mind.

The principal was about to continue using the excuse to get away with the matter as usual.

But Soran signaled him to wait a moment and he would handle it.

To be honest, the principal doesn't trust Soran's ability to persuade people. His erratic style of doing things is well known to everyone, and no one knows what cruel things he will do.

Soran scratched his bald head, interrupted Professor Booker, and said, "Those students who skip classes should be deducted points and punished. In short, the school rules will be followed. As for restricting students from using it, I don't think it's necessary."

"But, them." Professor Booker pointed outside the door, meaning to look at how enthusiastic the students are now.

"They are all young people, they always need entertainment. If they are not allowed to play these games, they will play other games. It's just that the Digimon machine has just been released and everyone is curious. After a while, it will not be so popular."

As a loyal player of Drogo toys, Soran, who has advanced the Rubik's Cube restoration time to less than 30 seconds, knows very well that the Drogo Group's products are most popular when they are first launched. Everyone is joining in the fun, and they come and go quickly.

"All of these children have been admitted to Repin by their own ability. They must understand the simple truth that they come here to study in order to become excellent mages. If they are really completely addicted to entertainment and have no self-control, I believe that such people cannot become qualified mages.

"On the contrary, a direct ban would not be in line with Repin's long-standing spirit of freedom. Besides, sometimes banning something will make people more enthusiastic. You understand, right?"

Professor Booker found it difficult to refute, as what the other party said did make sense.

The principal was even more surprised that Soran could speak properly.

Soran continued to output, "Come, look." He carried Agumon to Professor Booker.

"Hello!" Agumon stretched out his claws and greeted.

"Do you know anything about the golem?" Soran asked.

"I have some understanding." Professor Booker answered modestly. Mages, especially old mages, are experts in one subject and are proficient in every field. Of course, he has studied golems.

"Look at what's different about this Agumon."

Professor Booker looked at the inconspicuous little golem in front of him. He didn't pay much attention to it when it first came in, thinking that it was a defective product like the previous toy constructs.

However, upon closer inspection, Agumon was sitting on the ground, shaking his legs, without receiving any instructions.

So, when it greeted me just now, it didn't give any instructions.

"This golem is even more..."

"Smarter, right?" Soran said, "In fact, this thing's intelligence is much higher than all known golems."

Professor Booker widened his eyes, the more he looked at Agumon, the more he felt that this Agumon was extraordinary.

Creating intelligent life has always been the ultimate ideal of a mage's achievements. Countless mages have spent their entire lives to achieve this goal.

However, no significant breakthrough has been made in hundreds of years.

Now we see such a huge improvement in intelligence on a golem, but this golem is even just a toy. No matter how expensive it is, it is still positioned as a toy.

"Just, just, just for fun?" Professor Booker said in disbelief.

"Well, from what I know about Drogo, he might be doing it for the money, but it is true that the final effect is just for fun."

Soran continued to say something that subverted Professor Booker's cognition even more, "Do you know about the previous discovery of inscriptions?"

He was referring to Xiao Mo's project, and now the rate of discovering new inscriptions has slowed down.

"know."

"At the beginning of this project, the goal was to make a magic video game console."

"what?"

"Almost all the round table elders of the Mage Guild are now involved in this project. If successful, it may be possible to integrate the spells of all schools. The reason for starting it was also to integrate all network equipment."

"So what you mean?" Professor Booker was a little confused, feeling that these findings were completely different from what he had imagined.

"Although these things seem to be entertainment, no one knows what other more valuable things will be born in the process of better entertainment. Playing is the instinct of all intelligent species. Apart from the crisis of survival, there is nothing more motivating than this. If we restrict students, it will make them disconnected."

Professor Booker didn't want to admit it, but he was indeed convinced by Soren.

It’s just that entertainment can generate such great added value, which far exceeds his original worldview.

This is not simple entertainment, but entertainment based on advanced technical spells and a lot of innovation.

"Have a good time. I suggest you learn about these interesting new gadgets. Maybe you can create something new." Soran waved goodbye to the dizzy Professor Booker.

His steps as he left the principal's office were a little crooked, and he even bumped into the wall twice, as if he was reshaping his worldview.

"When did you become so good at talking?" the principal, who was saying goodbye to Professor Booker at the door, asked curiously.

"You have to know that if you get to know a shameless person for a long time, you will always be influenced by him. In his words, it is like the company of red things will turn you red, and the company of ink will turn you black." "The company of red things will turn you red, and the company of ink will turn you black? Interesting metaphor."

“Alright, alright, stop standing there like an idiot,” Soran hurried back to the house and continued to study the ancient beast. “Hurry up and figure out how it was made. Didn’t you take a golem course back then?”

"You can't even understand it if you major in Golemology!" The principal rolled his eyes. "You can see Professor Fulin every day now, why don't you just ask her directly?"

"Can you just ask directly? If you ask directly, doesn't that mean I don't know how to do it? It's just a low-level golem. I'm Sauron!"

"You wouldn't have..."

----------

While Digimon is bringing the craze of catching Digimon Eggs to major cities, the "culprit" of all this, Drogo, is visiting the Feilin Good Song project team in the store.

Instead of using the studio left over from the sword-forging competition, they built a new one.

The sword-forging competition will start its second season soon, and the original studio can still be used.

After Simon won the first season with a crushing victory, the question was whether to let him return for the second season.

Now he is incredibly popular among the audience. Not only is his skills outstanding, but his appearance is also good. He even has a fan club in the forum.

He also saw someone on the forum asking to buy Simon's original towel and gloves that he used to wipe his sweat during the competition.

It really opened Drogo's eyes.

The key is that there are still people providing the supply of goods, it seems that there are also problems in the program’s logistics team.

Since he is so popular, it would be a waste to only participate in one season. His popularity should be exploited lavishly.

But if Simon still participates in the second season, the final championship may lose suspense.

There are as many people who like him as there are people who hate him. Only his fans will be happy if he wins consecutive championships.

Some people hate him and think that he is not a serious blacksmith but only knows how to show off. Those viewers who know the inside story may abandon the show.

It would be better to add a popularity contestant challenge, let all the popular contestants compete together in an entertainment competition, and finally let Simon gradually transform into a host.

Maybe the effect will be good, the only problem is that Simon doesn't like to talk.

But let's put these issues aside for now. The ratings of the second season of the Sword Forging Competition can be guaranteed even without Simon. The key now is still Feilin's good songs.

The flagship program of the new Magic Vision Channel, a long-lasting music variety show, also undertakes important advertising tasks.

If it's done well, it can become an eternal classic in the memories of countless viewers. In the future, no matter who wants to produce a similar program, they will be pulled out to compete with this program.

If it's not done well, this kind of program may not be launched in Feilin for a while, and the industry is doomed.

"Mr. Drogo, you are here." Sir Godot greeted outside the studio.

"Hey, you don't have to come out to greet me like this, and you can blackmail me if you get bumped into something."

"You're kidding me."

Drogo followed Gordo into the studio.

The scale of this studio is much larger than the studio for the sword-forging competition. It can accommodate thousands of spectators at most. If you want to hold a party in the future, you can also hold it here.

"Let me introduce you to this. The entire studio was built by the best construction team in Twin Towers City under the command of your Zhuoer Advisory Group."

In order to have better sound effects, Drogo recruited a group of drow architects from the Underdark to be responsible for the construction of the concert hall.

Concert halls are a very common building in drow city-states. There's nothing you can do about it; all elves like them.

What’s amazing is that, without even fully understanding the principles of acoustics, these drow were able to build a large concert hall based solely on their experience, without using any sound magic.

Professionally trained singers can stand on the stage and deliver their voices to the ears of every audience member using only their own voice without using any amplification equipment.

In addition to the singers' own level of ability, the design of the entire enclosed space plays a significant role.

“In addition, the entire sound system, program sound recording system, and post-production adjustment system are the latest achievements of the research team and are guaranteed to far exceed all previous programs.”

I've tried this Drogo, and to be honest, the effect is a bit better than expected. The problem now is that Mary's Magic Vision Machine simply can't produce such a good effect.

But fortunately, this way we can sell live, lossless, and ultimate versions of audio on music platforms.

"This is the tutor's seat you specifically requested." Godot pointed to the four large chairs on the opposite side of the stage.

Like four red eggs, there is a button in front of each chair.

Drogo sat on it with great interest to try it out, and with a clap of his little paws, the chair spun around to face the stage.

That’s what it feels like.

"Oh, by the way, please play the sound effect that will be added later when you turn around."

This sound effect will not be present during live recording, otherwise it will definitely scare the contestants who are still performing and make them lose their voices.

Godot motioned for the executive director.

"boom!"

A muffled and heavy voice echoed in the studio.

To be honest, the sound effects on site are really good, and the Zhuoer team is quite capable.

"No, this sound effect is not good. It's not enough. How should I put it? It's not surprising enough. Let's make another one." Drogo said.

"Um, the sense of surprise is."

"It's the kind of piang, cua, puang feeling. Anyway, make a few more for me to listen to, and then choose the right one."

Drogo imitates several rather abstract sound effects.

"Then, have you found the mentors?"

"I found them. They are Mr. Xiaode, the lead singer of the band Underground Abandoned, Ms. Gerda who played the queen in Frozen, the vice president of the Sutton Royal Academy of Music, and the director of the Holy Church Opera Company."

"What about the personalities that were set for them?"

How each mentor performs must be carefully designed.

"Djokovic is responsible for livening up the atmosphere, Ms. Gerda mainly provides positive comments, the team leader provides negative comments, and the vice president is mainly responsible for criticizing the players."

"Is the Vice President okay with this?" It's not an easy job to be responsible for playing this character, as you may be criticized after the show is broadcast.

"No, they are screening the audition songs now."

"Oh? I'll go and listen too."

Before he reached his mentor's room, Drogo heard the sound of quarreling through the door.

"No way, there's no way a song like this could be passed, it's an insult to music!"
